Quote of the Day – David Mamet, Brilliant

“If you stop licensing taxi cabs, tomorrow you will see guys and women on every street corner saying, ‘Who wants to go to XYZ address?’ (The cabbie) will put five people in the car and drive them to that address. … When the guy drops them off, if he’s smart, he’ll say: ‘Tomorrow — same thing, right? What do you guys want to drink for breakfast?’ There will be cappuccino and ice tea and glass of milk. After X months, he will have three cars; after X months, he will have a fleet. And everyone will be competing to meet the needs of the commuters, which also is going to reduce traffic. Why are they allowed to compete? Because the government got the hell out of the business.”


Now Obama wants a do-over. Too bad, pal. You can’t unring the bell!

Maybe it was a bad choice of words? I’d say yes.

I work with Hispanics. We have many Hispanic-Americans – I hate using this hyphenation crap – who are great friends to my kids and to me. Our politics may be different but I do not view them as my enemy and I know they don’t see me as one either.

This is what David Limbaughs been talking about in his book. The real man keeps emerging through his words and he’s said some doozies this election season. I see political ads for his presidential opponents in ’12, already being written.

Obama and his 20% or less, are the only ones who see Americans as enemies and not as fellow Americans. He blew it, big time! Americans don’t want to be divided into groups and we resent being pigeon-holed this way.


From GOPTrust.com: Breaking Point – 25 minutes that will change America

Another must see!

Like reading David Limbaugh’s Crimes Against Liberty, this will enlighten and stun you with information you never knew and things you might have forgotten:


Evan Sayet: How Liberals Think. They really DO hate America. And he tells you how and why.

A born and raised liberal New York Jew, gives you less than an hour of how he learned liberals are wrong and and why their thinking is Anti-American. If you want to understand what moral relativism really means, he ezplains it very well.

This is excellent! If you have some time, please listen.

“After 9/11 I realized my fellow liberals really DID hate America” :

It’s their goal to “leave us nothing else to believe in” :

“Indoctrinated into a cult of indiscriminate-ness” and this is moral relativism by another name :

“If one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, can we at least agree that they must be  fighting for FREEDOM?” :

And Evan takes questions :


Pre-election day musings

Have you noticed that, during this election, every time a Republican candidate appears on Fox, his Democrat opposition “can’t be reached” or “declined to appear”? The cable news channel with, hands down, the largest viewership in every single time slot, and the opposition refuses to be seen on it. Charlie Crist is a the most recent notable example of a non-Republican candidate who actually did appear (on Greta last week.) And there have been debates on Chris Wallace’s show where both candidates appeared. But for the most part, the Democrats stay clear of Fox. I guess they don’t care about the likely voters they might connect with or the donors that they are snubbing. Nothing has become more apparent than the fact that every single election, whether it’s in New Jersey or Oregon, have national implications and money from all over the nation come into those campaigns.

~~ooOoo~~

A few weeks ago I signed a petition at Americans for Prosperity and when doing so, I signed up to volunteer making phone calls. I didn’t do that on purpose and in fact, had no idea I had done it until I got a phone call last week asking me “how I was doing on my phone calls.”

“Oh,” I said, I’ll be getting on that tonight.” Great save, I thought.

Ah geeze. I had no idea I had volunteered to do this but then I thought about what Levin had said about doing the least this election while others, in Afghanistan, were giving their all for our freedom. So I went online and read the stuff and tried to make the calls but numbers wouldn’t show up on my screen. After a half dozen attempts, I finally realized that – duh, you have to be plugged into a phone line. So, I dug out a phone cable and plugged myself in. Okay, all set to call folks and tell them to vote for the Republicans in Arizona this election day.

But still no numbers appeared on my screen. Then I realized that I had basically shut off our lan phone. I can receive calls in but can make no calls out (except for 911) and only kept the line for the internet.  We don’t even have a phone plugged in at our house because we use strictly our cell phones. You can find my phone number in the phone book but no one will ever answer it.

So my almost good, although accidental intentions were for naught. But I’ve decided that by ’12, I will have my home phone up and running to do my part.

Make no mistake about it, the 2012 campaign will begin this week, on November 3rd. It’s going to be an eternity. But as s nation we can’t survive another 4 years of this guy.

~~ooOoo~~

I think the most despicable part of this whole election cycle is the ballots that will not arrive in time for our soldiers overseas to vote. Nothing expresses the incompetence of our elected officials better than this. They knew over a year ago that the second day in November was election day (like that never changes, you dumbasses) and still they could not have the ballots ready and mailed in time. Elections should be held up until every single soldier who wants to vote, is able to.

This is nothing short of shameful and a transparent suppression of voters who will likely not vote in the Democrats favor!

~~ooOoo~~

I don’t know about anyone else, but I welcome gridlock in Washington. I’m proud to be the party of NO. I remember the story Levin tells about what Senator Laxalt told him years ago: “Every day that Congress convenes, is another day of lost liberty for Americans.”  (or words to that affect, I’m paraphrasing here.) The less those people can do, the better for all of us. I hope they tie up things and gum up the works. There have been enough damage done in the bills and presidential appointments that have already been passed.
