Let me tell you who we conservatives are:  We love people. [Applause] When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don’t see groups. We don’t see victims. We don’t see people we want to exploit. What we see — what we see is potential. We do not look out across the country and see the average American, the person that makes this country work. We do not see that person with contempt. We don’t think that person doesn’t have what it takes. We believe that person can be the best he or she wants to be if certain things are just removed from their path like onerous taxes, regulations and too much government.

Booooooooooyah, CNN! What up noooow!  So much for Rush’s speech being “all about wanting the President to fail.” I’m waiting for the day the FCC can start fining these “journalists” for outright slander and libel.

Here’s more of Rush defining what it means to be a conservative and dispelling those caricatures the liberal media likes to skew us into.

And here he is closing it out. Sure does sound like your “typical-racist-homophobe-bigot-judgmental-crammingreligiondownyourthroat-conservative,” huh???  (rolling eyes)

Perhaps if our mainstream media oh, say, did their jobs for once there wouldn’t be the need for Rush to clear up the fundamental differences between conservatives and liberals.

This administration is so ridiculous. Honestly, one minute they’re crying their eyes out about not having unanimous support to the Spendocrats’ porkulus bill and it being a catastrophe if we don’t get it passed ASAP yesterday. The next minute after they get their lollipop bill of pet pork projects (which has only 12% of stimulus-related works) and suddenly it’s all calm, soothing talk.

Obama’s stance prior to the stimulus porkulus vote  (Also, try to just bypass the fact that in his quote he’s getting an F- in economic history when he makes the argument with the 90s Japan debate point – and, uh, I thought this guy went to Harvard):

Obama defended the role of government in the recovery process, saying that “with the private sector so weakened by this recession, the federal government is the only entity left with the resources to jolt our economy back to life.”  “I think that what I’ve said is what other economists have said across the political spectrum, which is that if you delay acting on an economy of this severity, then you potentially create a negative spiral that becomes much more difficult for us to get out of.” He compared the situation to that of Japan in the 1990s, saying the Japanese, failing to act quickly enough, suffered a “lost decade.”  “This is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill recession.”

Now Obama change in tune this week after signing away our future earnings:

Things are not as bad now as they were in the 1930s or even the early ’80s when, Obama reminded us, he was still in college. Young people — by which he did not seem to mean the columnists aboard — are simply unfamiliar with hardship, he said.  “So for a huge number of people out there, they’re just not accustomed to seeing a bad economy with really high unemployment and very bearish markets. . . . What we’re going through now is nothing compared to what our grandparents went through during the Great Depression.”

There, there, there…now everything is okay.

Oh, but wait a minute, Barry – I thought on the campaign trail it was that this was “the worst time in the U.S.’ economic history since the Great Depression.” Pleeeeeeeease – that was just “campaign rhetoric.” No shit sherlock.

Most conservatives out there already knew this was a recession but that it was not on the verge of needing $1 trillion shot of govt. pork straight to the heart. My husband would constantly comment “If we’re in such a depression, how come I still have to wait an hour to get seated at any restaurant on a Thursday night?”  Ain’t that the truuuuuuuuuuf! 

But here’s what is going to happen to our economy now that we’re full of pork and having to PAY for it the rest of our lives (and our children, and probably grandchildren). I’ve illustrated it with as a heart getting clogged with more and more cholesterol.  Hmmmm – PORK it’s what for dinner for the next 25 years!

 I’m not saying there were not huge issues of credit and capital malpractice that needed to be fixed. But coercing, with fear tactics, support for the passage of a bill which will double our national debt only to provide a miniscule percentage of job growth makes you a manipulative politician praying onto people’s fears of the unknown, not a leader of the new bipartisan era. On the flipside, buying blindly into this politician’s facade makes you equally as guilty and possibly insane.

• $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts
• $380 million in the Senate bill for the Women, Infants and Children program
• $300 million for grants to combat violence against women
• $2 billion for federal child-care block grants
• $6 billion for university building projects
• $15 billion for boosting Pell Grant college scholarships
• $4 billion for job-training programs, including $1.2 billion for “youths” up to the age of 24
• $1 billion for community-development block grants
• $4.2 billion for “neighborhood stabilization activities”
• $650 million for digital-TV coupons; $90 million to educate “vulnerable populations”’

Also, if you look deep into the appropriations you’ll see that much of this porkulus for infrastructure projects is for much of the Beltway area. Super, so DC’s economy will be flowing with renovation and construction projects, but ummmm what about the rest of the country???  So goes DC, so goes the nation – is that our new motto? And while I’m all for infrastructure projects, as many people know they only make up a small, small portion of this entire bill.  The National Review’s got more:

• $150 million for the Smithsonian
• $34 million to renovate the Department of Commerce headquarters
• $500 million for improvement projects for National Institutes of Health facilities
• $44 million for repairs to Department of Agriculture headquarters
• $350 million for Agriculture Department computers
• $88 million to help move the Public Health Service into a new building
• $448 million for constructing a new Homeland Security Department headquarters
• $600 million to convert the federal auto fleet to hybrids
• $450 million for NASA (carve-out for “climate-research missions”)
• $600 million for NOAA (carve-out for “climate modeling”)
• $1 billion for the Census Bureau

I think this quote in the article sums it up best in my feelings on how far this porkulus will benefit our economy – The bottom line is that there is a way to fund government agencies, and that is the federal budget, not an “emergency” stimulus package. As Riedl puts it, “Amount allocated to the Census Bureau? $1 billion. Jobs created? None.”

There’s so much more I didn’t cover in this trillion-dollar boondoggle disaster. Read the article over at National Review to check out the full facts. Happy Govt. Frivolous Spending Day!

Gosh I just knew this was going to happen but for it to happen only THREE weeks into the presidency is classic. Honestly my voter’s confidence for McCain/Palin this past election grows and grows more with each passing day. Thanks, Barry!

Anyego, Bob Parks’s over at Black & Right has been finding more and more voters who were drunk on the Hope ‘n Change bandwagon who are know suffering huge koolaid-induced hangovers. Big freakin’ surprise!

J Rotes: “I supported, voted and gave $ to Obama. I was wrong. Obama is a HYPPCRITE for letting Geithner be elected Treasury Secy.. Obama lied to us when he said he will change the culture in Washington. Simple. American peeople need to call him on this balatant abuse of power – all his hope garbage was just that – hope and garbage. What a disappointment. Bigger disappointment is lack of MEDIA OUTRAGE on Geithner !!”

J Nel: “Change we can believe in. Just when we started to believe…and we thought it could never get worse…it did. Geithner needs to go! At this point I don’t think I could be any more disappointed than I am. Where is the Media Outrage? And the poor people in Kentucky. Where is the Pres? Eating expensive beef and hosting a super bowl party. Our poor country.”

I don’t love that this is happening but I can’t help but exhibit a little “I told you so” attitude.  This is the problem with the average American voter not getting informed about govt. policies and how govt. decisions affect us.  Too often they just want to feel that they’ve got to be a part of something and are bought in by mob mentality created by the liberal-biased MSM, as well as some of their peers I’m sure.  It goes back to high school where people just want to be a part of the in-crowd thinking that in doing so will make their life meaningful and fulfilled. I had a discussion with a friend last month about how I believed a good majority of voters got swept up in Obamamania because they wanted to cater to their self-esteem in making a “historic” vote. Instead of looking at Obama’s policies they played right into the DNC’s manipulation of identity politics. Vote for Obama – you’ll be making history!

Now we’ve got a situation, earlier than expected, where people are starting to realize “oh, I guess the guy I voted for isn’t really about all he said on the TV screen.” No shit, Sherlock! It’s called campaigning. ABC – Always! Be! Closing! Barry was selling you a pipe dream and you bought it hook, line and sinker. Congrats, you are now the owner of voter’s remorse. 

But there is a cure – go out and get educated on government, where candidates really stand on issues, and how policy legislation really affects your household/community. Then in the next election you’ll really know what your vote is counting for in terms of the history and future of our nation.

I first saw this video on PerezHilton.com, a very popular gossip site. While Perez Hilton is attempting to “inform” his readers it worries me that his 7 million+ readers/day are getting a one-sided view intentionally. But the thing I’ve learned from being a reformed liberal is that far-left propaganda is based on the assumption people will just run with the one-sided shock value and not get the full facts on the entire story. It’s like far-left propagandists expect you to BE STUPID because if you didn’t just listen to their skewed, misguided “facts” then you probably wouldn’t be behind their cause.

To get the facts, check out this article (via HotAir.com). Ed Morrissey has been writing on this for a while and I appreciate his objective presentation on the facts of this topic.

By the way, Palin’s strategy worked.  Biologists in the state’s Fish and Game Department estimate that the caribou herds increased to 6500 this year, thanks to the reduced threat from wolves.  The birth rate went from one calf per 100 cows to 39 calves per 100 cows, which will help herd growth for the next several years. Another season without the aerial hunt might have wiped out the caribou herds altogether.

Most importantly, this “controversial” initiative was enacted in 2003 (yes, prior to Palin’s term) and was done so to protect many other species – Caribou, Moose, etc. Are somehow wolves more important than the other wildlife? If you’re so opposed to this method, what then can you offer as a more cost-effective means to decrease the wolf population – waiting to catch them with our bare hands?  Come on people, be realistic! If Judd wanted to really do a public service she should either get educated on the facts or keep her mouth shut.
