He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.

Don't you understand?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;The old man looked at the Marine and said "Oh, I understand.

The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em"...and it is a terrible obamanation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008, but now...most people (after having been infected for the past 1-2 years), are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market...called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012...and simply don't engage in such behavior again;  otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Several states are already on top of this...like Virginia, and New Jersey, and apparently now...Massachusetts.

school.&lt;br /&gt;Never to forget the golden rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked in my classroom scared as can be.&lt;br /&gt;It was my first day of school as you can see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had new pencils, paper, and pens with me.&lt;br /&gt;To make my teacher happy as she could be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then as the class began, my teacher told us.&lt;br /&gt;To bring all of our belongings to the front and please not to fuss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the children got up from all of their chairs.&lt;br /&gt;We Walked up to the front and then waited right there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My teacher said something I never thought I would hear.&lt;br /&gt;That my stuff was now everyone's, all of my peers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked at her with amazement, how could this be?&lt;br /&gt;My own stuff was now not only mine, but two or even three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I raised my hand up high above my head.&lt;br /&gt;And asked my teacher a question with such dread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why should I share with the others I asked Ms. Bree.&lt;br /&gt;My parents used their own money to get me these things can't you see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking down at me with a mean looking grin.&lt;br /&gt;She said This is my classroom and it's not how it has been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What yours is others as some children have none.&lt;br /&gt;But with what you have and others everyone has some.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's not fair I said out loud.&lt;br /&gt;My stuff belongs to me as I said very proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Bree then said this with a yell and a scream.&lt;br /&gt;If you don't share with others you are just plain mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone needs to help the ones that have less.&lt;br /&gt;Or else the world would be an incredible mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked up at my teacher with a feeling of joy.&lt;br /&gt;I can give to others if I choose, and maybe even a toy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is great the way it is now.&lt;br /&gt;And with this I will show you just how.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helping others makes me happy with a good feeling inside.&lt;br /&gt;But not because someone makes us, that wouldn't be pride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pen is mine, but I may want to share.&lt;br /&gt;Again I might not, If I should so dare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's my choice to pick who or when.&lt;br /&gt;Whether I do it at all or again and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My parents work hard each and every single day.&lt;br /&gt;To get me the things I need they both say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be a choice if we choose to give.&lt;br /&gt;This is America, please let us live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S.A. Stands for freedom, as it has always been.&lt;br /&gt;To change it would be horrible and a terrible sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We live in the greatest country where we can live free as a bird.&lt;br /&gt;To change it all now would be something unheard.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-687026041691042911?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/687026041691042911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-know-whats-mine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/687026041691042911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/687026041691042911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-know-whats-mine.html' title='I KNOW WHAT&apos;S MINE'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-3754862705742711472</id><published>2009-12-17T11:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-17T11:24:21.025-08:00</updated><title type='text'>GREETINGS!!!</title><content type='html'>A friend of ours sent me this email.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;To My Republican Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-3754862705742711472?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/3754862705742711472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/12/greetings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/3754862705742711472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/3754862705742711472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/12/greetings.html' title='GREETINGS!!!'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-6929232987485792572</id><published>2009-11-20T04:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T04:18:33.697-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CABLE NEWS RACE NOVEMBER 18, 2009</title><content type='html'>This just speaks volumes to me! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOXNEWS HANNITY/PALIN 4,200,000&lt;br /&gt;FOXNEWS O'REILLY 3,868,000&lt;br /&gt;FOXNEWS BECK 2,512,000&lt;br /&gt;FOXNEWS GRETA 2,383,000&lt;br /&gt;FOXNEWS BAIER 2,235,000&lt;br /&gt;FOXNEWS SHEP 1,980,000&lt;br /&gt;MSNBC OLBERMANN 1,041,000&lt;br /&gt;CNNHN GRACE 1,036,000&lt;br /&gt;MSNBC MADDOW 957,000&lt;br /&gt;CNN KING 835,000&lt;br /&gt;MSNBC HARDBALL 625,000&lt;br /&gt;CNN COOPER 611,000&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-6929232987485792572?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/6929232987485792572/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/11/cable-news-race-november-18-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/6929232987485792572'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/6929232987485792572'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/11/cable-news-race-november-18-2009.html' title='CABLE NEWS RACE NOVEMBER 18, 2009'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-691733402092755855</id><published>2009-07-09T05:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T05:22:01.307-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NO HE CAN'T!</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Dr. Anne Wortham is the author of "The Other Side of Racism: A Philosophical Study of Black Race Consciousness". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I saw this on Neal Boortz's website today, and found this to be extremely interesting:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Fellow Americans,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of America.&lt;br /&gt;I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United States of America, all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts has come to America. Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them. I would have to be wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.&lt;br /&gt;I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.&lt;br /&gt;Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a black man to the office of the president of the United States, the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a black person. So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feel good. There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness.&lt;br /&gt;November 6, 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-691733402092755855?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/691733402092755855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/07/reverse-racism-and-electing-of-obama.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/691733402092755855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/691733402092755855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/07/reverse-racism-and-electing-of-obama.html' title='NO HE CAN&apos;T!'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-5031955686395739908</id><published>2009-06-12T07:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-12T07:33:06.815-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Letterman and Palin</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;You know, I truly hate the word "offended," because I hear it all the time. Whether it's in the media or in real life, this has become a truly overused word. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;But, after hearing David Letterman the other night, with his ridiculous top 10 list, trying to insult Sarah Palin and her daughter, I think this is one of the very few times, I feel the need to use the word "offended."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;First off, by Letterman basically calling Sarah Palin a slutty stewardess, he's showing of course his left wing loon of an attitude. By saying that about Palin was to me bad enough. However, to bring her family, especially her own children into it, was by far the most insulting and disgusting thing I have ever seen a public entertainer say. I find it amazing even more so that the audience actually laughed at these jokes. That was horrible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Outside of the actual statements made by Letterman, the thing that most amazes me is that if a conservative would have made the same statements about Barack Obama's children, the entire mainstream media would be all over it. If there was a white, conservative entertainer that made those comments about Obama's children, he or she would have been burned at the stake, their careers would be over, and a public apology would be forced upon them. Not to mention, they would also be considered a "racist." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I find the statements or jokes, if you can call them that, horrible, disrespectful to women and disgraceful to the many fathers across this country that have wonderful daughters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Where are all the feminist groups coming to the aide of Sarah Palin? Where are these women that supposedly stand up for women's rights? If Palin had been a liberal, there would be no doubt in my mind, that these groups would be running in groups to support her. I find this a total double standard. That shows me that these worthless women's groups serve nothing to women. Which is a total and complete shame. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-5031955686395739908?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/5031955686395739908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/06/letterman-and-palin.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/5031955686395739908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/5031955686395739908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/06/letterman-and-palin.html' title='Letterman and Palin'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-17198887952132527</id><published>2009-05-28T04:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T04:43:35.307-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sonia Sotomayor'/><title type='text'>Sonia Sotomayor and The Supreme Court?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Ok, well before we heard TOTUS(the TELEPROMPTER OF THE UNITED STATES) come out and say he would like to appoint Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, I already felt a few things. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I knew that this idealogue Obama would certainly pick some kind of minority group person. Could be black, Asian, gay, a woman, Mexican, etc. I just knew it, and I think most clear minded individuals did as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;But to want to put Sotomayor in is beyond what I would have expected. Wait a minute, no it's not. Nothing surprises me anymore. And that's the truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;To hear the reverse racism remarks that she has said in the past, makes me wonder about Obama and his lack of judgement. Is Obama vetting these people? I mean, we've already been through Geithner, Daschle, and the list goes on, but did Obama really look into this woman?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;If a Republican had said these racist statements they would easily and quickly be automatically burned at the stake. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also, to hear what some of the lawyers say about Sotomayor is fascinating:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"She is temperamental and excitable. She seems angry."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"She is overly aggressive--not very judicial. She does not have a very good temperament." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"She abuses lawyers."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"She really lacks judicial temperament. She behaves in an out of control manner. She makes inappropriate outbursts." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"She is nasty to lawyers. She doesn't understand their role in the system--as adversaries who have to argue one side or the other. She will attack for making an argument she does not like."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line is this...Sotomayor is a radical just like TOTUS, so it's not a surprise at all. However, it truly is ashame to have a person like this have the possibility of serving in our United States Supreme Court. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-17198887952132527?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/17198887952132527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/sonia-sotomayor-and-supreme-court.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/17198887952132527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/17198887952132527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/sonia-sotomayor-and-supreme-court.html' title='Sonia Sotomayor and The Supreme Court?'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-4361323663491965203</id><published>2009-05-25T12:31:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T12:37:12.971-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Memorial Day 2009!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Good afternoon America!  Happy Memorial Day 2009.  What does Memorial Day mean to you?  I've seen numerous news correspondents today speak with a great many men and women that wear the military uniform today, and it's truly interesting to hear what they have to say.  These are men and women that are overseas, without their families, some without their children.  They've given the ultimate sacrifice to all the people just like you and me.  They are true patriots.

My heart truly goes out to people like this. Please read this Dodge Owner's letter:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;My name is George C. Joseph. I am the sole owner of Sunshine Dodge-Isuzu, a family owned and operated business in Melbourne, Florida. My family bought and paid for this automobile franchise 35 years ago in 1974. I am the second generation to manage this business.&lt;br /&gt;We currently employ 50+ people and before the economic slowdown we employed over 70 local people. We are active in the community and the local chamber of commerce. We deal with several dozen local vendors on a day to day basis and many more during a month. All depend on our business for part of their livelihood. We are financially strong with great respect in the market place and community. We have strong local presence and stability.&lt;br /&gt;I work every day the store is open, nine to ten hours a day. I know most of our customers and all our employees. Sunshine Dodge is my life.&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, May 14, 2009 I was notified that my Dodge franchise, that we purchased, will be taken away from my family on June 9, 2009 without compensation and given to another dealer at no cost to them. My new vehicle inventory consists of 125 vehicles with a financed balance of 3 million dollars. This inventory becomes impossible to sell with no factory incentives beyond June 9, 2009. Without the Dodge franchise we can no longer sell a new Dodge as "new," nor will we be able to do any warranty service work. Additionally, my Dodge parts inventory, (approximately $300,000.) is virtually worthless without the ability to perform warranty service. There is no offer from Chrysler to buy back the vehicles or parts inventory.&lt;br /&gt;Our facility was recently totally renovated at Chrysler's insistence, incurring a multi-million dollar debt in the form of a mortgage at Sun Trust Bank.&lt;br /&gt;HOW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CAN THIS HAPPEN?&lt;br /&gt;THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS NOT A GOVERNMENT ENTITY&lt;br /&gt;This is beyond imagination! My business is being stolen from me through NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. We did NOTHING wrong.&lt;br /&gt;This atrocity will most likely force my family into bankruptcy. This will also cause our 50+ employees to be unemployed. How will they provide for their families? This is a total economic disaster.&lt;br /&gt;HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN A FREE MARKET ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?&lt;br /&gt;I beseech your help, and look forward to your reply. Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;George C. Joseph&lt;br /&gt;President &amp;amp; Owner&lt;br /&gt;Sunshine Dodge-Isuzu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(Ladies and gentleman, everyone kept saying "no Obama won't move our country towards socialism. That won't ever happen." Well, if you look up the word socialism in the dictionary you will see this definition:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;A theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;If you say socialism is NOT here, then you are a total and complete idiot!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-48780840441433069?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/48780840441433069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/government-taking-over-businesses.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/48780840441433069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/48780840441433069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/government-taking-over-businesses.html' title='Government Taking Over Businesses!'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-6811910880043316362</id><published>2009-05-19T05:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T05:32:29.774-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Retailing Failure!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Retail failure or problems are occuring all around the world, as well as right here in America.  This statement is an obvious one, considering the horrible recession we currently are going through.  I have said it numerous times before, but we didn't get into this recession overnight, and we certainly won't be getting out of it overnight.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Here is a list of retailers that are in financial difficulty right now, and some of them are very surprising, and again, some are not:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blockbuster, Pep Boys, Belk, Super K-Mart, Michaels, Guitar Center, Talbots, Sports Authority, Yankee Candle, Borders, HH Gregg, Ann Taylor, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Ross, Tuesday Morning, Big Lots, Hobby Lobby, Office Depot, Burlington Coat Factory, Sprint, &amp;amp; Sears.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I guess the one that logically surprises me would have to be Big Lots.  The reason?  Well, Big Lots is known for it's extremely low prices on what they sell the consumer.  But in a recession, when times are financially troubling, people are looking for many ways to save as much money as they can.  So, even though I have never been a fan of Big Lots, I was surprised to see them in such distress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Blockbuster has been in trouble for quite some time, and with NetFlix out there, it's hard to see a future for Blockbuster.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Sears is another one that is a sad story.  They've been around for years and years.  People tend to buy appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, and washers and dryers from them.  But if you step into Sears store nowadays, you can see that they aren't doing so well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;All in all, most of this list isn't suprising to me, however it is sad.  With the economy the way it is right now, anything is possible unfortunately.  If any of these companies go under, it will just mean a deeper recession with more unemployed Americans.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-6811910880043316362?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/6811910880043316362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/retailing-failure.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/6811910880043316362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/6811910880043316362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/retailing-failure.html' title='Retailing Failure!'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-1932592382142231833</id><published>2009-05-16T15:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T15:29:46.146-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Michelle Obama is Bright?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Ok, I read an article today that speaks of David Bowie's wife Iman Abdulmajid on Michelle Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the article on BreitBart.com, the supermodel said that the first lady is not a "great beauty."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iman also added, "But she's so interesting looking and so bright."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;I am sorry...did I miss something here? She's so bright? Why? Why is she sooo bright? Give me one reason she's so brilliant of a woman? Because she's the first black first lady? That doesn't make her brilliant. She may have made history, but that doesn't necessarily make her a bright woman. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;There are millions of athletes that are multi-millionares and are very talented. But does that make them bright? The answer is simply no.  Same goes for actors and actresses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;I love the way these wacked out left wing nuts, jump on this ridiculous bandwagon. I would have had more respect for Iman, if she had simply left it at "she's no great beauty." But no, she couldn't have. She had to go and do the "politically correct" thing. Just fascinates me to no end. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-1932592382142231833?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/1932592382142231833/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/michelle-obama-is-bright.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/1932592382142231833'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/1932592382142231833'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/michelle-obama-is-bright.html' title='Michelle Obama is Bright?'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-8349281500266481328</id><published>2009-05-14T09:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T09:35:05.871-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Smokers, drinkers to carry tax burden?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee peeked into vending machines and liquor stores, company payrolls and health savings accounts, looking for a mix of tax increases and spending cuts as a way to pay for a health overhaul — which could cost more than $1.5 trillion over 10 years according to an article on Politico's website yesterday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The democrats want to put a tax increase on cigarettes, alcohol, and junkfood like potato chips!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Am I the only one that finds this amazingly STUPID?

A popular meal on the menu. "Grits, sausage, toast, eggs and a waffle," says Samuel.&lt;br /&gt;She didn't get what she came for. Instead, she says while she waited for her order, her friends started eating. That's when Samuel says she was told they couldn't eat from carryout trays inside the restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;"I said what is your fuss about. I said we haven't paid for our food. She (Ward) said well you all got to leave. How you want us to leave and we ain't paid for the food yet," says Samuel.&lt;br /&gt;That's when it got ugly. Samuel says she threw a waffle at the waitress. "I did actually throw some food but it didn't hit her," says Samuel. "That's when she (Ward) jumped across the counter and we got into it," says Samuel.

He campaigned about "nationalizing" healthcare, which is just a nice way of saying that he wants to socialize it.  Let's call it what it really is please.  Let's not mix words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The majority of people in the United States already have healthcare coverage.  But there is a small percentage of people in the U.S. that don't.  The number is around 50 million people that don't.  Some of these people are illegal aliens, and some are illegal aliens who are trying to become American citizens.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;As Dick Morris said, Obama doesn't seem to understand that by putting all of this money into a healthcare program that will cover each and every one of us, it still won't work.  It takes at least 10 years for someone to become a doctor, and a significant amount of time to become a nurse.  The problem is, in the past 5 years the amount of doctors has only risen a little over 1 percent.  But, the population in America as grown by leaps and bounds.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The problem occurs by having roughly the same amount of doctors and nurses but having an enormous more people to cover.  The result simply would be to stretch the healthcare more thinly.  This of course then results in rationing, which is exactly what's been going on in Canada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, does Obama not get this?  Obviously not.   Seems like common sense to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-6560644881659354722?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/6560644881659354722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/obama-and-socialized-healthcare.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/6560644881659354722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/6560644881659354722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/05/obama-and-socialized-healthcare.html' title='Obama and Socialized Healthcare!'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-5695451401505404554</id><published>2009-05-01T04:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-01T05:06:14.094-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's Ratings Slide</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The "alleged" president Obama's ratings have slide since his very first press conference.  This past Wednesday marked Obama's 100 day mark of his supposed presidency.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;According to Nielson ratings, Obama's press conference this past Wednesday dropped 29% since his last one held on March 24th.  Also, it's a 42% drop from his first press conference, which was held on February 9th.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Here's the president's last three primetime news events:&lt;br /&gt;Feb: 9: 49.5 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;March 24: 40.4 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;April 29: 28.8 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;It is amazing, how this man, that supposedly is so smart and intelligent has to continuously read off of his teleprompter.  I mean, people speak in public all the time, and do better than this guy.  When Sarah Palin's teleprompter went out during the RNC convention,  she winged it incredibly.  No one knew it had even gone out until the next day.  But, if the leader of the free world can't speak in public without a teleprompter, what do you think all the other countries around the world must think?  Easy...they think this man is a total and complete idiot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;That should tell the president something.

It’s why you can get a ticket for drinking beer on your front porch in the Nation’s Capital. You’re technically on public space. It’s also why the city can ticket you for parking in your own driveway if you don’t pull your car deep enough into the driveway beyond the façade of your house or building… &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You know this doesn't surprise me.

Once the government takes over and controls the media, like radio, the internet, or just plain free speech, that's when "freedom" as we know it will cease to exist. The government has already done so with the automobile industry, with AIG, they want control over credit cards, they want control over CEO salaries, and they want control over health care. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;If this in fact happens, the government can control what a station reports, and what not to report.

He mentions that in less than 100 days, Obama has apologized on three continents for what he views as the sins of America and his predecessors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;In France, Obama said that America "has show arrogance and been dismissive even derisive" toward Europe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;In Prague, he said America has "a moral responsibility to act" on arms control because only the U.S. had "used a nuclear weapon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;In London, he said that decisions about the world financial system were no longer made by "just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with brandy"-as if that were a bad thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;And in Latin America, he said the U.S. had not "pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors" because we "failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Obama sat and listened to a 52 minute diatribe from Daniel Ortega, and then proceeds to say that he was grateful that Ortega did not blame him for things that happened when he was 3 months old.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;And this doesn't even mention the buddying up to Hugo Chavez either, taking that ignorant book he gave Obama, etc.  I just can't believe this ignorant president didn't throw it in his face!

She did not however answer the question correctly with regard to all Americans having the opportunity to choose, since only a very few states allow legal gay marriages.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I think her answer was open and extremely honest.  I am proud of her to come out and say what she believes is right, and did not play the politically correct card in her answer.  We will never know if that truly is what costed her the contest, but in my opinion, it seems as though it did.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hilton obviously is a moron, and whomever employees him, should terminate him indefinetely for the remarks he made after the contest was over.  By calling her  bitch, and then wanting to call her the "c" word is absolutely disgusting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She should have won that contest, and in my mind, Carrie Prejean IS MISS USA!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Way to go Carrie for sticking to what you believe is right in your heart.

It's about hating a black man in the White House," she said on MSNBC's "The Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. "This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks.

Don't get me wrong.  I do love America, and I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.  But last night, something I noticed really irritated me.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I went to get a bottle of Ocean Spray cranberry juice, and I happened to look at the outside of the plastic jug.  Just about everything that was written in English was also written in Spanish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;This made me want to truly throw up!!  I can't seem to understand why it's so difficult for people to learn the English language.  And I refuse to understand why companies in America, have lowered themselves to putting what's on a label of a product in Spanish.  It should be English and English ONLY!  Do you hear me?  Yes, I said it.  ENGLISH!  This is America you bunch of morons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;My problem with this, is when will it be enough?  Why stop at just Spanish?  Maybe we should put Germany on the label as well.  And heck, why stop there?  Let's put French and Italian as well.  We wouldn't want to OFFEND a group of people now would we?!   What the hell is going on with this country!?

That's of course a distant feeling when I hear Barack Obama or anyone in his administration speak...especially that Robert Gibbs character.(seriously, couldn't Obama have picked someone a little more respectable?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Perry stated:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this doesn't speak to the American people, I don't know what does. It's true. The federal government has gotten entirely to large, and it's without a doubt getting way out of hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ronald Reagan spoke numerous times about the government. Here are some examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The best minds are not in government. If any where, business would hire them away."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"People don't start wars. Governments do"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-4253457057248067787?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/4253457057248067787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/04/gov-perry-backs-resolution-affirming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/4253457057248067787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/4253457057248067787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/04/gov-perry-backs-resolution-affirming.html' title='Gov.

I can now say that this supposed President is a flat out moron.  That's right!  I said it.  A total and complete idiot!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Our economy is in the toilet.  People are without jobs, and a great deal of those people are losing their homes and some are losing their families in the process. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;But the alleged President Obama, is going to "save or create" jobs here in America.  That's what he said he would do.   So what does he do?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;He wants an immigration bill!  In a nutshell, Obama wants to make illegal immigrants, legal in our country.  I guess that means they can now vote legally as well.  They can now drive a car legally.  And the kicker...they can all work as legal Americans.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;So, this means the people of our great nation, who are in economic turmoil right now,  those of which do their best to abide by the law, pay their taxes to the best of their ability,  who are in fact looking for work, now will have to compete with these illegal immigrants that our idiot President wants to allow into our country.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alleged president is a disgrace to this country if you ask me.

Well, I should say nothing surprises me anymore. Especially when it comes to the left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Wall Street Journal today, Senator Chuckie Schumer(Democrat-SHOCKER!)  has unveiled plans for legislation that would ban the resale of concert and sports tickets until two days after they first go on sale to the public. Basically this legislation would prohibit situations in which tickets are listed for resale at jacked up prices on sites like Ebay or Stubhub. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;You know, I thought the alleged president wanted to save or create jobs to help our country's economy. Well, it seems like simple common sense, that this will only destroy jobs, and destroy ways certain Americans make a living. So what if the prices are higher than what the tickets face amount is? If someone looking for tickets to an event feel the price of that particular website or individual is too high, the consumer has the choice to not purchase them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do liberals feel the need to "regulate" every single thing in our country? Simple answer...more and more power. That's all they want.

A friend of mine had just left and walked out.  Now, the only reason I was in the bar on this particular night, was because my friend had brought me a copy of the brand new Mark Levin's book called Liberty and Tyranny.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Well, back to this other guy at the bar.  This guy must have seen this book in front of me, and it obviously hit a nerve of some sort with him.  He didn't mention the book, but while me and my friends were speaking of politics, this guy decided that he should be in the conversation as well.  Of course, being a big LIB, this guy automatically begins to insult Rush Limbaugh, and other conservative talk show hosts, etc.  He then decided that he was disgusted with these shows because they are hateful people and they continue to say that Barack Obama is implementing socialism into our country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, I had pretty much heard enough from this moron.  So, I decided to interrupt him and ask him a simple question. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ok, so you want to get into our conversation, that we didn't invite you into, and that's fine.  But before we go any further, could you please give me the definition of the word socialism?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;He starred at me for probably 5 or 10 seconds, and mumbled a few Barack Obama "uhs" , and never said anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;After waiting for an answer, I simply told him that he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about and that he had no business talking about something he knew absolutely nothing about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't stand STUPID people!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Oh yeah, and he said he voted for Obama.

Well, in all honesty, I am truly sick and tired of hearing about it. You hear as much about these car makers as you do Barack Obama. Every single morning, it's on the news. Every time I get in the car, it's on the news. I go to sleep, and you guessed it. It's on the news. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;First off, the UAW President, Ron Gettelfinger, needs to be gone. And while you are at it, do away with the union altogether. If anything ever proves the truth, it would be history. Unions have never helped a company. Now, maybe years ago, they might have done some good, but generally speaking, most of the time unions do more harm than good. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I mean how much more money, how much more time, are we going to give these companies to turn things around? Doesn't look like much is improving. That's because it's not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Bottom line is Americans do NOT want to purchase GM or Chrysler automobiles. Sorry, but it's true. I used to say years ago, that I would only buy American cars till the day that I died. But, my views on this have changed over the years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;My parents had always purchased American cars. They would always buy Buicks. They were always dependable and roomy. But as the years went on, the cars seemed to deteriorate in dependability and realiablity. It might need a new transmission, or the window wouldn't roll up or down, and we needed to purchase a new motor. It always ended up being a big to do, and eventually would cost a great deal of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I purchased a Mercury Capri back in the 90's. I wanted an inexpensive, sporty, and fun little convertible. It turned out to be one of the worst cars I had ever had. The top always leaked when it rained, etc. I would end up taking this car in to the dealership to get it fixed over 20 times or so. It was absolutely ridiculous!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The point is this: It doesn't matter how much money you put into these companies, the truth remains. Nobody wants those vehicles, therefore, people won't buy them, therefor they should go out of business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;GM and Chrysler need to go under. And as bad as it sounds, the thousands and thousands of people that will have no job should all as a group be sorry. All of them put together, as a union, have destroyed a once profitable and extremely successful business. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-8180311233349184313?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/8180311233349184313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-needs-to-happen-to-gm.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/8180311233349184313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/8180311233349184313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-needs-to-happen-to-gm.html' title='What Needs To Happen to GM'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FsQysUvS-gc/SdOAZFwolsI/AAAAAAAAADc/Ov5QLLPidBU/s72-c/UAW_12122008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-1302831911227251599</id><published>2009-03-31T04:31:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T04:40:36.864-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;It amazes me to see and hear people talk about President Obama. Large amounts of people say that the things that Obama is implementing are a suprise to them. It shouldn't be. He spoke about this through his entire campaign. Were you people listening? I highly doubt it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;For instance, the American automobile industry has been in the toilet for years. This isn't something new. But yesterday was an extremely frightening thing to see. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Our government is now running GM. That's right. You can argue with me all day and night, but the truth is what it is. Obama's car czar fired Rick Wagoner yesterday. So how ever you want to phrase what's happened, bottom line is our government fired this man. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That means from now on, our government, the officials in Washington DC, can now do this to each and every one of the small, medium, and large businesses in this country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;This entire thing is a disgrace. The American people don't seem to understand. This is a serious issue. It's extremely difficult to let our government have so much control of something and then release that control at a later date. It most likely will never be reversed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;So, if socialism is what you are for, congratulations. You've made the right choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I disagree with what President Obama is doing in Washington. He is making our horrible economy worse day by day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-1302831911227251599?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/1302831911227251599/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/03/american-automobile-industry.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/1302831911227251599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/1302831911227251599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/03/american-automobile-industry.html' title='THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962767788562594238.post-5771813370231500366</id><published>2009-03-31T04:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T08:27:41.024-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WELCOME!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I would like to welcome all of you! Thanks for stopping by my new blog. I am looking forward to posting interesting and no holds barred information that I think is important. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I am a conservative Republican, and I, unlike large groups of conservatives, will tell you what I think. I am not going to be one of the individuals that meets a liberal half way on the issues. I stand by what I believe to be true, and no matter what, will not bend on them. That's not to say that I am not willing to hear other people's views. I think that's important to hear what others think. But, you will rarely, if ever, see me cave on important conservative ideas and views. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;My page here is to inform and hopefully entertain with the way I view what's going on with our economy and our country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Again, welcome. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3962767788562594238-5771813370231500366?l=conservatismisright.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/feeds/5771813370231500366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/03/welcome.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/5771813370231500366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3962767788562594238/posts/default/5771813370231500366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservatismisright.blogspot.com/2009/03/welcome.html' title='WELCOME!!'/><author><name>Steven Baumrind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17214635056598079603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
