Remember when MSNBC (and many on the Left) demanded everyone in the Tea Parties ‘tone down the rhetoric’ during the healthcare debate? And then in January when the call for civility was again raised after AZ Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot at a town hall meeting?
Yeah. That was then, this is now.
Listen carefully to the words used during tonight‘s ’Hardball’ to describe Newt Gingrich and his entry into the GOP race for the Presidency.
In the span of less than a minute, Gingrich was painted with the following terms;
- Assault
- Assassination
- Depth charges
- Revolutionary
- Bomb thrower
- Plastique
- Blow up the bridge
Civility is the new black.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 1:33pmI think Newt would do Great as Prez. and the WH knows it. Look at what Newt said about Individual ins. No one and mean no one is refering to the fact that he stated that it has to be done where individuals do it with the end means being that individual take responsibilities for their own actions. OWNERSHIP OF INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS. I have no problem with it. I think if you have to be in a govt ins program thats fine as long as you take responsibility and have a time table to provide your own.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 9:28amObama is very vulnerable with high unemployment, out of control government spending, devalued dollar, sluggish economy, raising food prices, and let’s not forget the cost of gasoline. All of these problems and no leadership or even a hint of a plan to rectify any of these problems. You are going to see the media types going into overdrive to help get Obama re-elected. They will attack anyone running against him like a pack of wild dogs. They will be the over enthusiastic cheerleaders for anything that they think looks good for Obama and either downplay, ignore, or blame Bush for anything that happens that doesn’t look good. You are going to see every Republican candidate being portrayed as being extreme, radical, racist, anti-elderly, anti-poor, and in the pocket of big business. Also look for allot of stories of poor elderly people who are scared to death that if a Republican gets elected they will end up eating dog food.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 9:13amAn open letter to Congressman Allen West
America is once again looking for a President that clearly understands the ideals and principles which made this Country great. Allen West, you are that President. In the mid-term elections voters finally rejected self-serving politicians whose interests were no longer in alignment with those of the people. The current line-up of Republican candidates for President is bland, boring and beatable.
We have seen the vision of the left bring this country record unemployment, massive debt, a housing crash, food and gas prices through the roof, weaker currency, a downgraded credit rating, Marxist values and spending out of control.
The 2012 election represents a critical decision point for we the people. Do we continue to allow the present decline into Marxist socialism and the destruction of our country or do we reclaim and rebuild our constitutional republic? The country is in serious trouble and we need your leadership now Congressman West.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 4:14amSad, but very true. When the Progressives and other assorted Leftists cannot refute what a Conservative says, they simply resort to name calling and personal attacks.. Have you noticed that? It is obvious they fear Sarah Palin, or they would not attack her so viciously. Ditto Glenn Beck. We can identify our friends by observing whom they are attacking today, and how vicious the attacks become.

After setting him up, mis-characterizing him, sending out their bloggers and then ‘turning it into a news story” This clinches it *tighter than mathews butt cheeks at an obama rally). They are terrified of Newt and that’s good enough for me!
We should make Newt the nominee immediately and save the other candidates the money and expense and put all the lamestreams time, effort and money into feeding frenzy to nowhere!
Let the other candidates duke it out for VP, Sec of State, Interior, Homeland security, treasury, Justice and the rest of the key positions. The progs wont know which way to turn and who to attack.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 1:54amDude! Only people terrified by Newt are the bakers at Krispee Kreme Donuts. He wrote some nice books, about other people. When it comes to his own ideas though, it gets pretty scary. Like I said early , I couldn’t careless who or what he banged and when he did it, as long as it wasn’t a child. He could flog bats for all I care. But thinking amnesty for illegals is okay, and man caused global warming show a serious lack of critical thinking on his part. But then he jumps on Ryan for being the only one ballsy enough to offer a solution to the debt crises, and that we SHOULD look closer at single payer for healthcare. Sorry man, that boy done jumped the shark. He’s such a RINO I thought I saw him in the BABAR book I was reading my grandson yesterday. Teapartier in Iowa had it right. “get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself”. And ya gotta love the spinnin‘ he’s doin’ now, tryin’ to walk that stuff back.-lol Much more and he’s gonna move hte Earth off its axis.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 4:12amI think the progressives would crucify Newt in a campaign. He has too much baggage they can pry open and scatter the dirty underwear all over for the whole world to see. I don’t see how Newt could possibly win, and the alternative–another Obummer victory–is just too awful to comptemplate. I truly believe our country cannot survive another four years of this Communist puppet and his teleprompter doing the bidding of his subversive masters. Surely nobody believes he is actually smart enough to stir up all this trouble by himself, when he cannot even speak coherently without a teleprompter! Allen West can — and I do believe he is the one candidate who could handily beat Obummer.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 1:28amI finally got enough of these Obummer mercenaries. Everyone of their commentators, I use the word loosely, are race baiters, s_ _t stirrers who can’t determine what Obummer stands for, but would defend him until their dying day. Since there is nothing I can do to get them off the air, I cancelled my phone, internet, cable package w/ their new parent company Comcast and switched to Surewest. If everyone cancelled their service w/ Comcast maybe the parent company will get the message. I seriously doubt it, but its worth a try!!!

Noooooooo . . . They are so scared Obummer is going down in 2012 they are like mad dogs snapping at anybody who even approaches the table to file a candidacy. Trust me, it will only get worse as the year wears on . . . I have seen so many promising candidates with decent ideas who got ignored to death by the liberal media — and THAT is why we always end up with such pathetic choices in the election. We better pray it does not happen this year, because there is a lot more than an election at stake!

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 3:56amCivility is a codeword for ‘censorship’ as the man said. “Political correctness” is a codeword for thought and speech control, and you can see its insidious results all over our society. Ft. Hood comes to mind. Lots of people knew that nutjob was a nutjob–but none of them dared say anything, because he was a Muslim, and they would have been crucified for saying anything about him. So everybody kept quiet and politically correct, until he brought a gun to work and started killing people. And even THEN Obummer said we “could not really say he was a terrorist”, and of course his being a Muslim had nothing to do with his actions–they are such a moderate and peace-loving people, after all . . .
Speaking of which–before he decided to start shooting people, he was assigned to be a counselor for vets coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan after fighting Muslims. How stupid is that? Don’t you know those Vets were just real happy to lie down on his couch and confide their innermost emotions to a guy with the face of the ENEMY they had been fighting? How completely idiotic is that? THERE is your political correctness in action!

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 2:59pmThe false plea for civility and the fabricated charges of racism by the left are meant to SHUT US UP! It’s that simple. I firmly believe the left in general and the leftist media in particular embraced Sotoro over Clinton and showered him with adulation because of his race. They are in love with the idea of a black (any black will do except a conservative) president but, adding to that, they knew that his race could insulate him from any criticism, least we be labeled racist and uncivil. Well the gloves are off. I intend to stand firm and speak out against this nauseating puke every chance I get. Pray for a presidential nominee with a SPINE!
