Left coast cars take a step backwards. One more comedian in Congress. Defending the barracuda. Plus more.

Philip Klein’s blog post reflects very poorly on The American Spectator.
Another little man with an inferiority complex heard from. Good grief…who knew The American Spectator, Fox News, Washington Times, etc. were populated by a bunch of spiteful little boys who felt threatened by Sarah?
Is this the new Republican Party speaking…the one that is moving as quickly as it can to kill the conservative base once and for all ?
The only people who hate her more than the DNC is the Brie and Chablis Avant Guard Republicans.
Remind me to remember that The American Spectator works
for Rahm Emanuel.

PUT YOUR HEALTH CARE WHERE YOUR MOUTH
IS
Re: Jay Molyneaux’s letter (under “The Will Care
When They Get the Care”) in Reader Mail’s Cap-and-Taxed to Death:
I would like to go on record as being 100% in favor of the messiah’s health care fiasco, if and only if:
(1) the congress is forced to give up their current health plan and use messiah care and be banned from exempting themselves from their own laws as is the usual procedure,
(2) federal government workers (whoops, employees — government workers is an oxymoron) are forced to do the same,
(3) union bosses at all levels are also forced into the program like the rest of us, and
(4) the aforementioned groups are forced to use messiah care in their retirement packages instead of their current gravy train.
It seems to me that it is only fair that we share the messiah’s benevolence with the Washington elites, their employees, and their cronies. Of course, the messiah and Bubba Biden should also be forced to partake of the fruits of such benevolence.
Finally, the current congressional healthcare program should be transferred unchanged to the military and military retirees. They (unlike the congress) have contributed enough blood, sweat and tears to merit such lavish care.
Just an idea — don’t hold your breath.

Hi guys
I pasted this here to hang my arse out further.
(grin)
Robert Stacey,Very thoughtful article. Thank you.
Guys
some splendid thoughts here.
As one of you mentioned, we were having a very serious discussion on one the blogs. It is a shame those discussions can't stay around here longer.
If our country has reached the point where an honest decent elected official such as Sarah Palin can be hounded out of office by smut, then my slogan henceforward will be...
REPEAL REPEAL REPEAL !
I truly believe "conserving" is no longer a viable option. I believe our country needs desperately to be put in "retrograde motion"...ie: reverse.
There is no question in my mind that if cap and trade and/or nationalized medical are passed, then REPEAL of both will be the only ...ONLY... salvation of our country as a free society in anything but name.
I notice that many of us keep trying to dip into history to get a perspective. It is my contention that there is NO historical happening in 232 years that even comes close to our present day situation.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my belief that for the very FIRST time, a true revolution has been declared upon we free sovereign citizens. I do not exagerate here. War has been declared upon us, just as surely as a war was declared when Islamic terrorists knocked down the Trade Towers, and hammered the Pentagon.
I have read and heard SO many inadequate terms to describe our politicos in DC..."thugs, Chicago thugs, utopians, idiots, incompetents, narcisists, etc.
THEY ARE NOTHING OF THE KIND!
First of all...they are "OATH-BREAKERS"!
They swore to preserve, protect, and defend our constitution. They have since stated very clearly in words and actions that they have no intent to preserve protect and defend our constitution.
To them, our constitution is nothing more than something that limits their efforts. They talk about a "living constitution". They are liars.
We do have a living constitution...but the way it is supposed "grow and mature" is through:
1. Constitutional conventions of the several States to perfect that constitution if needs be.
2. Ammending that constitution again by concert of the several States.
They have chosen an unconstitutional method, called.........."force" ie war!
Every single one of us have heard Obama's own words about building a national internal "police force", (or words to that effect), that is equal in size and strength to our present armed forces.
Why? Please ask yourself............. why?
My thought is that it is his back-up plan B if he can't win the stealth war that is quietly destroying the legs of the table...one by one... that holds all of our labor fruit...and all of our future hopes.
For the very first time in our history, our federal government has declared war on it's own tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. Their "war goals"
are pretty simple, and as old as time. (theft, writ large)
Their weapons and tactics are pretty novel in some cases, but their "war aims" are to reduce us to submission or incarceration...or death if incarceration becomes too expensive because there are too many of us.
I take Sarah's "re-quote" by Douglass McArthur very seriously. God bless her, she is trying to "advance in another direction".
I don't know "which" direction we should go...but we Americans still remember how to sit on our ass and produce no taxable income.
Think about it a moment. If tax revenues dropped even 80% in a given month from we in the middle class...oops?
Thoughts?

And liberals wonder why California has long been called "The Land of the Fruits and Nuts"? Golden State? The founders of the Bear Republic would kill these idiots as tyrants.
