I Am NOT A %$*#(%-ing Racist

I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired (cue Bill Cosby as I say that - long story) of being called a racist simply because I choose not to be dragged kicking and screaming down the rabbit hole into the Socialist States of America.

What is with the left anyway?  Once you make a point they don't have a good answer for, they immediately start the name calling.  If you don't agree with them you're either stupid, homophobic, a Nazi or a racist.  I'm sure I left some out.

I don't know why the liberals think they are the only ones who get to have a legitimate complaint in this world but it's ridiculous.

Remember what Hillary said/screeched several years ago?  "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, “WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!""  President Carter must have been building someone a house when she said that.

Why Tom Brokaw Is Evil

I know.  That's a pretty drastic thing to say.  You're probably thinking, okay, he's a member of the Main Stream Media (MSM) and a liberal.  Plus he wrote a great book about the generation that fought WWII.  So evil probably seems a bit far-fetched, eh?  Well, I happen to think it's true.  First, he's a life time member of the Council on Foreign Relations.  He's a globalist.  And if you happened to see his remarks about Van Gray's resignation, that will be the icing on the cake for you.

Forget all of the inappropriate remarks Van Gray has made.  And never mind that Van Gray is an avowed Communist.  All Tom Brokaw cared about (on Meet The Press) is that Van Gray was brought down by bloggers on the internet and warns that we should all be very careful about believing what we hear in that cesspool.  Well, duh.

Of course we should be cautious about what we find on the internet.  And on tv.  And in the newspaper.  And what your neighbor tells you across the fence.  But, guess what.  These days the MSM often doesn't source their information either.  And when was the last time you saw a news report that was "just the facts" and didn't manage to include a single swipe at the conservative point of view.  How about never? 

So let's not throw too many stones shall we, Mr. Brokaw?  I used to respect you but let's just say that your body of work has become a concern.

Why Isn't CNN Talking About This?

So typical of the left wing.  They claim to be all about rights and freedom.  Yet their Chosen One wants the ability to flip and switch and shut down the internet.

I find it appalling that the President would seek authority that the US does not own or control.  There's no reason such a thing could be helpful - unless you want the ability to stop free speech.  Such a power would be extremely useful for that.

I Guarantee It's Not In There

Monday night I raced home from work so hubby and I could attend one of Bart Gordon's Town Hall Meetings. The meeting took place in a theatre on the local college campus.  Very appropriate, I thought, to have a political meeting in a theatre.  But I digress.

We stood in line for quite a while, waiting to get in.  There were 900 seats available and all but 75 were given out on a first come, first served basis.  While we waited in line, I ended up talking to a gentleman in line in front of me.  He was pro-Obamacare and I am most definitely anti-Obamacare.  During the course of the discussion, he tried to tell me that HR3200 would not eliminate private health insurance.  I quoted the portion of the bill that would do just that.

Mr. Pro assured me that was not in the bill.  I asked him if he had read it.  The conversation proceeded something like this:

Mr. Pro: "I guarantee you it's not in there." 
Me: "Have you read it?"
Mr. Pro: "I guarantee you it's not in there."
Me: "Have you read it?"
Mr. Pro:  "I've studied the relevant portions." 
Me: "Have you read it?" 
Mr. Pro: "I've studied it." 
Me:  "So you haven't read it." 

Mr. Pro: "Well no.  But I guarantee you -"
Me: "If you haven't read it, then you can't guarantee me a darned thing, now can you?"

I then pointed out to Mr. Pro that part of my job entails reading contracts.  Not glamorous work, but useful.  I asked what he did.  Are you ready?  Yes, Mr. Pro was a poli-sci professor.  I nearly fell over laughing.  I finally managed something along the lines of "Well, THAT explains alot."  Offended, Mr. Pro asks what I mean.  Me:  "Because you have no idea what life in the real world is like."  Mr. Pro tries to convince me that academia is the real world.  I just managed not to hoot directly into his face but I did tell him he was sadly mistaken and that academia had NO relationship with real life.

I share this conversation with you because I think it's quite interesting that Mr. Pro was so ready to guarantee me something wasn't in a bill that he hadn't read.  And these are the people who want to bring us Obamacare.  I rest my case.
