HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, I'm more or less back. This is Friday, January 2, and I return to work and "real life" on Monday. I've enjoyed this hiatus. Though, I must admit, I didn't really intend to take one. It just took on a life of it's own.

I haven't read a newspaper, listened to a single talk radio show, watched the news, or even engaged in a serious political discussion for almost 3 weeks.

I'm very relaxed. Almost boring.

I've spent most of my Christmas Vacation puttering around the house. I've rearranged/reorganized my kitchen, spiffed up my front and dining rooms, updated my bedroom and generally behaved like a homebody. I even reorganized my gun safe. I've spent days in sweats, not even leaving the house. Cave bear.

It's been brilliant.

But I miss the fray, too. And I'm getting revved up to get back into it. I'm a little reluctant, because I have to admit, I like being ignorant of the ugly news, and the likely ugly future we're faced with.

*Sigh*

"Why can't we all just get along???" Rodney and me. Soulmates.

So here's to 2009, let's hope it's better than 2008.

Cling to your guns. Gather the family. Pray. Buy ammo (when it all goes to shit, it'll be better currency that the greenback).

As we get ready to bid President George W. Bush a fond farewell, let's try to remember, that in spite of the disappointments, he is a good man. I hope that history is kind to him, and appreciates what he has accomplished.

And let's take a moment to also appreciate the delightful and sweet, the strong and steadfast, the lady, Laura. For the next four years at least, I have a feeling we will be missing her desperately.

If nobody minds, as an American Woman, I'll pass on being represented by the giant, gawky, scowling, harridan bigfoot, Micki Obama. *shudder*

18 days. I think I begin to appreciate how condemned prisoners feel anticipating their execution.

But in spite of it all, we will endure...in both senses of the word. And we will do it best together.

I'm so glad you're with me!

The Waltz of Obie and Ayers

.
This will not come as a surprise to anyone here. But I include it for when you need facts and figures to grind into the face of the drooling Liberal who wants to give you Obie's bullshit song and dance about his "acquaintance" with William Ayers.

(The lies are so dark, thick and sticky, I feel like I'm in Shelob's Lair with Frodo.)

"Barack Obama and the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers have worked closely together on education reform since 1995, and possibly since 1987. Obama has obfuscated and minimized this association in his public statements and on his website. Why the cover-up? We don’t know, since we aren’t sure what is being concealed.

"It’s becoming known as the Annenberg Challenge cover-up and it’s become big news since the McCain campaign highlighted it in a press release late Wednesday."

Obie Fraud?

Please watch the videos on this site, and send the link to them to EVERYONE you know.

I wasn't in any of the locations during the time these events took place. But watching them, I can't help but feel the truth of these peoples' testimony. It doesn't smell like lies. It should, at the very least, prompt an in-depth investigation.

Can you imagine if these complaints were being made about a Conservative Republican's campaign? The reporters and camera trucks on scene would fill a football stadium.

If half of the accusations made by these people are correct, we are looking at the successful subversion of our democracy.

This is something the Cheap Whores/Drunken Sluts of the Mainstream Media, who are too busy "doing" Obie, and trying to destroy Sarah Palin, will not pursue.

This is a job for us. The NEW MEDIA. Let's get on it.

Bad Choices

I hereby dejectedly announce that I have ditched the "Dump McCain Now" campaign.

I certainly don't endorse Grumpy Gramps. But I'm having a hard time continuing the fantasy that Hillary is a possibility for the Democrat nomination. I'm also concerned about the projected likelihood of an even bigger Democrat majority in Congress.

This, with any Democrat in the White House is simply, in a word, unthinkable.

The idea of a Hillary presidency with a strong, bitter, gun & God-clinging Congressional minority held some hope that little to nothing of her America crippling agenda would get accomplished.

An Obie Presidency could, with his seemingly Sarumanic ability to spellbind with his voice, spell wicked trouble for America—a chance I'm not willing to take.

Of course, the Dems may be hurtling down a steep slope to feel-good, emotionally satisfying, white-guilt assuaging, black-tribalism-confirming ass over teakettle shattering smash-up at the rocky canyon bottom...wherein 49 States go for Uncle Fester...and one for Obamassiah.

One can hope.

But given the bad craziness in politics these days, the corruption and lies, the media in bed with Obie, the ignorance of too many citizens, and their greed for handouts from the rest of us, the willing surrender of our cherished freedoms for a nice nurturing Nanny-Fascist-State ramping up to maniac proportions on a daily basis...anything could happen.

And I'm unwilling to risk it anymore.

Have I folded? Yep. The situation is too weird. Obie is too teflon and too strange; Big Media too bold and in the Obie-Bag; the unbeatable Clinton's are flaming out like vampires in sunlight. We've entered an alternate universe...one at risk of having Mrs. Obie as First Lady of a country she badmouths at every opportunity, who doesn't understand the difference between "want" and "greed"...who complains because she is so successful, and was given so much she didn't deserve, and didn't earn. A woman who hates America for making her unworthy ass rich and famous and powerful..and thus engendering her phantasmic nightmare of "fear" and "impossibility" which she then projects onto others. (Paging Dr. Phil!)

In other words, a woman who thinks in a "twilight zone" language that makes less sense than the Red Queen's, and whose conclusions, like those of String Theory, are completely imaginary, without a jot or tittle of material reality....who would be hen-pecking, bitch-slapping, nagging, managing and controlling the President of the United States of America.

This could keep me up at night. And I need my sleep. Yeah, I know I'm being manipulated even as I choose my only choice. And I really, really hate that. But I just don't see a reasonable alternative.

Vote McCain in this Brave New World

Goldberg on Giuliani

Giuliani is not the first pick of Conservative Republicans...some of my friends swear they'd never vote for him. I'm not sure yet. I can't help but like him.

Don't get me wrong. If a card carrying member in good standing of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy were to run, he'd be my guy. But given the options, Rudy has some appeal.

I'm not a hard-core anti-abortionist, so his position is not a litmus test for me. But, I think it might be a real stumbling-block for some of our Social Conservative brethren.

For Libertarian Conservatives, he was, perhaps, a bit too aggressive a prosecutor when he worked for the Feds.

And Small Government Conservatives, might have a problem with the way he used the coersive power of "the state" as Mayor to clean up New York.

So there are issues. But he may shape up as the most broadly appealing, and electable candidate in this race. And while I may not agree with all his positions (I don't agree with all W's either), so far, I think I trust him to say what he means and mean what he says. And that's unusual enough in a politician to be amazing.
