With Obamanomics failing miserably, and Obamacare not even cutting in our here in the Granola State, the administration’s reelection efforts have come down to this: Attack Watch — a site where you can key them in directly to any attacks, smears, or complaints about our Narcissist-in-Chief simply by filling out a little form. How convenient.
Bill Whittle, eminent Conservative thinker/writer/video maker has a post that encourages all of us who are disappointed with the mighty Obama to turn ourselves in, and then make our own reeducation identity badges:
So, here’s the thing: anyone whose sense of civic duty compels them to report themselves, and then make their own ATTACK WATCH! graphic will get it posted here. That way, the President of the United States will not have to waste all of that time surfing the internet to compile his Enemies List: it will all be right here in one place for easy re-education assignments!
So, I did and here’s my badge:

Just to get you up to speed:
Oh well — better get my own self ready to eat all those dang peas . . .

Weinergate. The very word makes one giggle like a grade-schooler . . . by junior high we had more “manly” words for our little fellas. Representative Anthony Weiner sure seems to be proud of his so we are giving him the coveted “Head Up the ‘ol Wazzoo Award” for how he’s handled his, uh, little problem. Apparently he likes to take underwear pics of it, too . . . although he doesn’t seem to be able to keep track of what happens to them afterwards. But wait, if you don’t listen to talk radio, or watch Fox News, you might not even know what this is about. Kind of like when the mainstream media “held” the story of John Edwards hiding his mistress and using campaign funds to pay her off during his ’08 run in the Democratic primaries. Anyone want to speculate how that would have been handled if it had been a Republican candidate?
At least now with a Federal indictment and arrest of Edwards yesterday, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the liberal newspapers have had to step up and tell the whole story. If I were them, I’d have been ashamed to have been scooped and out-moxied by The National Enquirer way back then! But, I do digress, so back to Weinergate (giggle). The Left tried their darnedest to destroy Breitbart for breaking the story over at Big Government, but now they seem to understand that was a futility!
In his NRO piece, Is Weiner Being Frank?, Jonah Goldberg asks and answers the questions the MSM just can’t bear to deal with:
So when the busy Mr. Weiner was asked on Wednesday if he was the guy pictured in the photo of a man in tight gray briefs in a state of readiness the folks at NORAD might describe as “Defcon 1,” the congressman responded that he just couldn’t say for sure. “I don’t know what photographs are out there in the world of me,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.
And, really, who can blame him? I mean, how can we expect him to be able to keep track of all his groin shots, either in his personal archives or out there “in the world”?
Can Justin Bieber account for all of his headshots and cellphone pics? Of course not. So why should we expect Weiner to know for sure whether that’s one of his pics?
It’s very clever and funny, so go and read it all! Hey, how about another game of golf for the Mighty “O”? Nothing really there to report, it just sounds funny to me. What else does the guy do? He sure hasn’t done much to help the struggling economic recovery. As noted by Jim Geraghty in a CNN interview, unemployment is high and will probably remain so next year.
I tried to point out that this is a central point of the traditional argument of challengers against presidential incumbents: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” For eight years, Democrats painted the Bush years, with their 4 to 6 percent unemployment, as the bad old days of economic deprivation. (Here’s a letter from Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle bewailing high unemployment and the tough job market in December 2003, when the unemployment rate was 5.7 percent.) Sure, Obama and the Democratic Congress inherited a tough economic circumstance — but with large congressional majorities able to pass the stimulus and the health-care bill, most Americans haven’t felt any significant improvement in their lives.
CNN lackey Ali Velshi didn’t like that observation at all, accusing Geraghty of spewing GOP talking points and saying that he needed to come to interviews like this one “better armed.” Gotta LUV the libs — “They can’t handle the truth!”
One last note for today, yesterday the story broke about a U.S. District Court judge in Texas ruling that no one could pray at a specific Texas high school graduation ceremony, under threat of going to jail. Evidently there is some sanity at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals as a justice there overturned that ruling in time or the school to have it’s graduation as it as intended.
Public prayer will be allowed at a Texas high school graduation after a federal appeals court on Friday reversed a ban won by an agnostic family that claimed ceremony traditions such as invocations were unconstitutional.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency appeal filed by the Medina Valley Independent School District. Its San Antonio-area high school was ordered by a federal judge earlier this week to forbid students from asking audience members to join in prayer or bow their heads during Saturday’s graduation.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Christa and Danny Schultz, who said watching their son receive a diploma this weekend would amount to forced religious participation.
The lesson in all this? Don’t give up . . . they haven’t won, yet.

I guess if you are a New Hampshire Democrat, expressing your belief in God at a political event is now a crime? Here’s the truly, awful event.
Makes one wonder what’s in the water up there in good ol’ NH. I liked his statement, “The Republican Party is not our savior.” There’s some truth for ya.
This country was founded by men that believed in God, the Creator, and they wrote that this belief would be necessary for Liberty to survive. For, if our rights are not given to us by God, and they come from man, then Man can deprive us of them at any time.
This is what has distinguished our country from all those before is founding and all those since.
May God continue to bless America . . . but that isn’t gonna go on forever if we continue to turn our collective face away from Him.

It’s self explanatory — so just watch it already. Then remember to tell the new Congress to get the Bush tax cuts made permanent! It’s the American Dream, man . . .
THE AMERICAN DREAM!!!
We are still America — right?

Sarah Palin is the REAL DEAL! She reminds me of my late Mom, all independent, resourceful, super-strong and stuff. Mom showed her heavy metal when she stepped up to the challenge of taking care of my father as he suffered with Alzheimer’s, and again when she made the fateful decision to stop taking all her meds the day after Christmas, choosing to go off to the great beyond to be with her beloved Duke rather than live weakly here with the rest of us.
Don’t know if Sarah Palin is ready to be the Chief Executive of the U.S., but the one we got ourselves now proves everyday that he’s not ready, and not worthy to boot! S.E. Cupp writes at the Daily News that the Left hates Palin so much because she’s so gosh darn happy!
And then it hit me. The reason Palin has become such a lightening rod, a kingmaker and a punching bag, a celebrity and a power player, is simple. It’s because she’s so gosh darn happy.
For her fans, like the ones I had the pleasure of meeting in Chicago, she’s refreshingly upbeat and resilient, the bubbly friend from childhood who was always great at cheering you up and cheerleading you on.
But for her detractors, nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured conservative woman who has everything she wants and then some. And without anyone’s help.
You know, if you are a woman and aren’t a part of the entitlement frame of mind, Leftists don’t/can’t understand you at all. Whining, my-me-mine dependency is what gives them power over those same folks, and having power over those they disdain as “inferior”, or as Katie Couric said a week or so ago, are the “unwashed masses” of the heartland. These would be “masters” of our universe are elitist in their own minds. For me, pompous prigs is more like it.
So when someone like a Sarah Palin “goes off the feminist reservation” and does something as heretical as not aborting a fetus that she knew would be born with Down’s Syndrome, and then relishes taking care of that precious little life, and at the same time runs a state, runs for Vice President, writes a best selling book, campaigns for and helps to get elected 30 out of 45 candidates she supports in the midterms, and puts on the most successful show launch on The Learning Channel — all without seemingly missing a single beat — it just drives the Left nuts!
They can’t take it! It calls into question ALL that they believe about women, and about what being a feminist is all about.
Heh!
You go girl!
