    huh? is this a joke? i didnt know there was such thing as a black republican. This must be a joke. Damn cons.
  • Guest
    Janet - i am not even going to respond to your ignorant comments; especially after you said that you were proud of your three abortions. And, since you lost all creditability and just make liberals live up to their ridiculous reputations, my only advice to you is to lay off the meds, join a twelve step program, keep your legs closed and find a good man.

    Maybe he should read this(He thinks "War sucks):
    http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=hsn...

    "According to these accounts, McCain, whose A4-E Skyhawk was queued up in a line of jets waiting to take off, “wet started” his engine, a prank designed to startle a trailing pilot with a flame of exploding kerosene.
    Normally, it’s a harmless, common stunt by “cowboy pilots.” But on this occasion the exploding kerosene caused a six-foot long Zuni rocket under the trailing pilot’s wing to launch across the flight deck.
    “[It] ripped through the fuel tank of McCain’s aircraft,” Dickinson writes. “Hundreds of gallons of fuel splashed onto the deck and came ablaze. Then: Clank. Clank. Two 1,000-pound bombs dropped from under the belly of McCain’s stubby A-4 . . . into the fire.”
    McCain rolled out of his cockpit onto the deck and ran for his life, Dickinson writes.
    “Just then, one of his bombs ‘cooked off,’ blowing a crater in the deck and incinerating the sailors who had rushed past McCain with hoses and fire extinguishers.”
    But according to historian Mary Hershberger, writing on the liberal Truthdig.com site, McCain panicked.
    “Some of those who were on the Forrestal and other persons familiar with the ordnance told me that because the rocket did not hit McCain’s craft, only actions by the pilot could have caused any bomb to fall from McCain’s Skyhawk,” wrote Hershberger, who in 2005 published a biography, ”Jane Fonda’s War,” advertised as “an antidote to the ‘Hanoi Jane’ myth.”
    “These sources . . . who spoke under the condition that they not be publicly identified,” Hershberger wrote, “agree with each other that, if any bomb fell from the McCain airplane, it was because of actions that he took either in error or panic upon seeing the fire on the deck or in his hasty exit from the plane. Two switches in the cockpit of a Skyhawk need to be thrown to drop such a bomb, according to the sources.”
    Dont spend your money on this guy(McCain)
  • Kevin S. Willis
    @david: Why should we hold McCain responsible for things he did when Obama was eight years old?

    Heck, he didnt even do it on purpose. And if he did, it was clearly an anti-war statement because America was fighting an unjust war against the poor people of Vietnam.

    I love Mr. Machosauce there. His Matrix-style kung fu battle with Obama ("The Vote Reaper") is a classic. The O-Team is cute, too, if a little long. Its like a history lesson framed by the A-Team.

    Some of my favorite conservatives are black conservatives, and not just because they are demonstrating fiercely independent thought when 90% of African-Americans, as a group, vote for Democrats. They also happen to be some of the most brilliant jurists and economists. Thomas Sowell, for example, who will never win the Nobel Price for Economically Hating America. Clarence Thomas is my favorite justice, and writes some of the best opinions, liberal memes about how hes lazy and just sits around eating fried chicken while he has white interns write his opinions not withstanding. I love liberals: not racist, at all, until some Uncle Tom votes for Republicans or expresses conservative viewpoints.

    Dave, is winning a war not a good outcome?  is winning a war with less than 4k casualties not a great thing?  let me know how many military operations of such scope and devastating engagement resulted in LESS loss of our troops?  Yes, war is a terrible thing.  So why would sadam husssein risk it?  he miscalculated and a wild card variable such as 9/11 tipped him over the edge.  It was Saddam Hussein who threatened the Middle East.  it was Al-Qeada who decided to fight in Iraq.  That was a mistake on their part, not ours.  Bush was perfectly correct to say, "bring it on".  And they did.  And we won.  Despite the Democrats, we snatched victory from defeat.

    Simon,
    I would hardly say that telling desperate people that he would put a 90 day moratorium on foreclosures "affirmative" talk.  And by the way, its just talk.  Dont get excited.
    Obama is playing on fear and that is not Presidential in the least.  His "moratorium" will never happen and his talk is foolish at best, destructive at most.

    Still waiting on his "ideas" for our Financial mess.  Waiting......

    Thats why the media wont run with it.  You will of course because you think innuendo is proof enuf.  Unlike the Kerry "Swift Boat" where there were eye witness accounts to Kerrys manipulations, the Foresstal is all conjecture which only now comes out during an election.

    If Saddam actually had these weapons Bush/Cheney said he had, his downfall could have come about without U.S. forces being directly involved.  But that would have taken some smarts.   -Something this current administration does not now, or ever has had.

    Uh, how did the 2 -1,000 lb. bombs fall from McCains Skyhawk?


    “Some of those who were on the Forrestal and other persons familiar with the ordnance told me that because the rocket did not hit McCain’s craft, only actions by the pilot could have caused any bomb to fall from McCain’s Skyhawk,”
    Call me what you like, my friend....the truth is out there.  McCains erratic behavior has been noted time and again, both during and after his military career, which makes the story more believable than the Swift-Boat bullshit that didnt result in the deaths of 133 Sailors and Marines.

    From Fact Check, on the McCain/Forrestal disaster. 


    No "Wet Start"


    A special note is in order here. We have seen some baseless claims that McCain was somehow responsible for the Forrestal disaster. One incorrect but widely quoted theory has him triggering the Zuni missile with the exhaust of his own plane by "wet-starting" – deliberately dumping fuel into the afterburner before starting in order to shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft. This is a preposterous notion. (cont)

    From Fact Check


    No "Wet Start"


    A special note is in order here. We have seen some baseless claims that McCain was somehow responsible for the Forrestal disaster. One incorrect but widely quoted theory has him triggering the Zuni missile with the exhaust of his own plane by "wet-starting" – deliberately dumping fuel into the afterburner before starting in order to shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft. This is a preposterous notion. For one thing, A-4 jets flew at subsonic speeds and were not equipped with afterburners. According to the Military Analysis Network site maintained by the Federation of American Scientists, the A-4 was powered by a "Single, Pratt & Whitney, J-52-P-408A non-afterburning, turbojet engine." The manufacturers description of the aircraft also describes the powerplant as "One 11,187-pound-thrust P&W J52-P408 engine," with no mention of an afterburner.

    And while pilots tell us that a “wet start” is possible even without an afterburner, the theory fails for another reason. The tail of McCains plane was pointed over the side of the carrier and away from other planes at the time, and the F4 Phantom fighter that fired the missile was facing McCains plane from the opposite side of the deck, as shown in Caiella’s diagram, in other diagrams, and in Navy film of the fire.

    This bogus theory appears to have gotten its start from a report by New York Times reporter R. W. Apple. Jr, who reported on July 31, 2023 – two days after the fire – that the Forrestal’s captain, John K. Beling, believed an “extreme wet start” had created “a thick tongue of flame” that set off the Zuni. Beling did not identify McCain’s plane as the source, however, and said only that the aircraft was “parked near the carrier’s island,” which would have put it far forward and on the opposite side of the flight deck from where McCain’s plane was getting ready to launch. Not usually noted by the conspiracy theorists is that Capt. Beling “repeatedly said that he had been unable fully to sort out the conflicting reports” that circulated on the 5,000-man vessel in the hours after the fire, according to Apple, who also called the wet-start theory “tentative.” In any case, Beling’s early theory was soon dismissed by Navy investigators, who found that the Zuni had been touched off by a stray electrical charge, not by a jet exhaust. Author Freeman summarizes the findings succinctly in in "Sailors to the End:"

    Freeman, 2002 (p. 250): The investigation revealed that the rocket (fired) because a freak surge of electricity jumped through the planes system at the moment the pilot switched from the outside electrical generator to the planes internal power system.

    And as Caiella also notes in his account, the investigation found that in the wartime pressure to get planes launched quickly crews had not observed two key safety precautions that could have prevented the stray spike of electricity from firing the rocket. The “pigtail” that connects the plane’s wiring to the missile had been plugged in prematurely, before the plane was on the catapult, and a safety pin that also would have prevented the firing also had been removed.

    Freeman has posted an item on his own Web site flatly stating that McCain was in no way responsible for the accident. "McCain was never suspected of causing the fire because investigators determined immediately that the rocket misfired from the other side of the flight deck," writes Freeman.

    Caiella agrees. He told us: “There is no possible way John McCain could have caused the fire on board the Forrestal. ... McCains only connection with the investigation was as a witness, in both a written deposition shortly after the fire and later in sworn testimony to the board.”

  • David W. Walters
    "In his most serious lapse, McCain was "clowning" around in a Skyraider over southern Spain about December 1961 and flew into electrical wires, causing a blackout, according to McCains own account as well as those of naval officers and enlistees aboard the carrier Intrepid. In another incident, in 1965, McCain crashed a T-2 trainer jet in Virginia."

    @Hobo:


    I dunno, I thought the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth was mostly politics, selective memory, fog-of-war, etc., and entirely irrelevant as a practical matter to the 2004 campaign. I read the book. Didnt really do it for me. A lot of hearsay, some 30 years after the fact. 


    Same thing for McCains "Swiftboating". There are real reasons to object to candidates (I sure didnt vote for Kerry), but speculations and 30-years-past-the-due-date "eyewitness" accounts just dont do it for me.
  • David W. Walters

    @ Kevin.....  I didnt say the allegations were true about "Swiftboat".  Merely that there were eye witnesses willing to testify to errors.  No such "evidence exists with the "Foresstal" incident.  that was my point.
    One meets the standard of controversy, one does not.

    ==============================================

    @ Dave......  The irony of it all?  you must mean your willingness to throw as much mud around without checking your facts and then describing yourself as "open minded" to others willing to listen to your rants. 

    Is that the irony of which you speak?

    And lease dont describe OBAMA as a "Commander".  Hes a waif of a man and my niece could take him out anytime.

  • ameriken
    @ David #23, 25........that is why I generally avoid reading the so-called political blogs, and if I do read one, I have to filter what is written. Most do have an ax to grind and have followers who are not interested in finding the truth, but rather who are more interested in proving they are right and the other side wrong. Thus they blindly believe what is being written without thinking through it or researching it.

NO! I am a conservative because im not a fucking socialist, liberal stooge who thinks im better than everyone else and I can save the country from themselves, I want the federal government to leave me the fuck alone and stop trying to micro-manage the flock of lazy bastards who want it all, but want me to foot the bill.  I think its time to throw some tea in the harbor again folks, this is absurd
  • Titus Hunt
    I am a "true" conservative because i want government to play a small role in my life and taxes should be paid mostly to protect our country and build infrastructure.  the social security system is stupid and needs to be abolished.  people should be responsible and save for their own futures and not rely on the government to do it for them.  of course, most take out more than they put in.  Our vets need to be taken care of and maybe a few others but that should be it.  I dont believe in helping folks who dont help themselves.  People need to gain a skill and work!  Taxes should be very low and everyone and i mean everyone should pay them even if it is 1% of their income.  Our soldiers are fighting for our country and not everyone is helping to pay their share of the taxes to buy their equipment, food, etc.  it is ridiculous.  people love to blame others for their situations and are asking for handouts.  Everyone should be able to manage their own affairs including how many children they have.  if you cant afford to educate your children, dont have them and dont look for others to give you money to do what you should be doing as a parent.  i am a republican because i believe in personal responsibility and a free market economy.  If everyone took responsibility for themselves this economy would not be in the mess it is in now.  Of course, the democrats love to blame the republicans even though their buddy Barney Frank and others were in the thick of things.  Washington as a whole is to blame.

    In Philly, Conservative Talk Radio Host Backs Obama
    October 17, 2023 3:44 PM
    <!--
    Natalie Gewargis
    -->
    On his talk show on WPHT today, conservative Philadelphian Michael Smerconish endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
    Listen HERE.
    Smerconish did so by reading a couple paragraphs from his pending op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
    "I’ve decided," he said. "My conclusion comes after reading the candidates’ memoirs and campaign platforms, attending both party conventions, interviewing both men multiple times, and watching all primary and general election debates.
     
    "John McCain is an honorable man who has served his country well. But he will not get my vote. For the first time since registering as a Republican 28 years ago, I’m voting for a Democrat for president.
    "I may have been an appointee in the George H.W. Bush administration, and master of ceremonies for George W. Bush in 2004, but last Saturday I stood amidst the crowd at an Obama event in North Philadelphia," says the Republican.
    Smerconish has given us some more from his op-ed: 
    "Terrorism. The candidates disagree as to where to prosecute the war against Islamic fundamentalists. Barack Obama is correct in saying the front line in that battle is not Iraq, it’s the Afghan-Pakistan border. Osama bin Laden crossed that border from Tora Bora in December 2001, and we stopped pursuit. The Bush administration outsourced the hunt for bin Laden and, instead, invaded Iraq.
     
    "No one in Iraq caused the death of 3,000 Americans on 9/11. Our invasion was based on a false predicate, so we have no business being there, regardless of whether the surge is working. Our focus must be the tribal-ruled FATA region in Pakistan. Only recently has our military engaged al-Qaeda there in operations that mirror those Obama was ridiculed for recommending in August 2007.
     
    "Last spring, Obama told me, It’s not that I was opposed to war [in Iraq]. It’s that I felt we had a war that we had not finished.  Even Sen. Joe Lieberman conceded to me just last Friday that the headquarters of our opposition, our enemies today, is the FATA."

    "But when fascism comes it will not be in the form of an anti-American movement or pro-Hitler bund, practicing disloyalty. Nor will it come in the form of a crusade against war. It will appear rather in the luminous robes of flaming patriotism; it will take some genuinely indigenous shape and color, and it will spread only because its leaders will know how to locate the great springs of public opinion and fear and the streams of thought that flow from them and will know how to attract to their banners leaders who can command the support of the controlling minorities in American public life." 1944 John Flynn, Old right republican

    Bush has paved the way for the right to move us into a facist state first, with the Patriot Act and now privatzation of  profits and socialiation of the debt of his rich cronies. And you think you should be scared of the Left???

    But what is this:
    "these aristocratic, blue blood, ivy league bottom feeding law school flunkies"......you are referring to?  My midget brain just does not comprehend, so please fill me in!
    But i guess Ron Reagan wasnt one of these Blue Bloods you refer to.
    He had the good sense to trash that silly President Carters energy plan:

    Uh......DC, last I remember, the Democrats didnt fight Bush were largely for the bailout bill and republicans were against it. Get off the fascist crap. And what makes you so sure that Obama doesnt fit that description "its leaders will know how to locate the great springs of public opinion"?

    As for patriotism.......remember Joe Biden telling us it was patriotic to pay our taxes to the government? He didnt say it was patriotic to give to each other and help the less fortunate.......it was patriotic to give to the government.

    When fascism comes, it always comes as government vs the citizenship who trust them. Doesnt matter if liberal or conservative....our founding fathers warned us to always keeps the government limited and in check.

    What are you doing to keep the government limited and in check?

    While you and some others from both sides may want to point the fingers at each other, remember that Republicans voted against Bush, while Democrats joined Bush in shoving this bill down our throats while the people objected. Both McCain and Obama were part of this. So, under your descriptions, Democrats are as fascist as Bush for helping to socialize business. 

    Be wary of your own leaders, be it republican or democrat and dont believe they truly have your own interests at heart.  That is when you open the door to fascism or any other oppressive form of government.

    I am a conserative because i can add.  Obama wants to give 95% of americans tax cuts and 5% will see tax increases.  lets see..... .95 + .05 = 100%.  now where does Obama account for those who dont pay taxes???   hmmmmmmmm!  maybe he is fudging the numbers??????  the truth is 40% dont pay taxes and they will get a welfare check.  now how does that create jobs???????  im continuing to talk about this because democrats dont seem to give a damn that if Obama is elected and his plans are passed, WE WONT HAVE JOBS!  of course, maybe the democrats are the ones who dont have jobs and are waiting for their checks?????????  here is some news for ya--if we dont have jobs, you dont have $$$$$$$$$$$$$$!  GET IT NOW?

    stix, its quite evident that no actual facts will alter your poor effort to educate yourself on issues and who is actually saying what.  you are content to repeat known lies and frequent only sites that support them.  theres nothing wrong with being conservative, theres a whole lot wrong with lies and the participation of forwarding them.
    you can stand and wave the flag in front of all of your comments all you wish but just once it would be refreshing to see that you actually have any understanding of what that flag represents - the flag is not whats sacred, the principles behind that which it represents are what we hold dear.  principles that you are constantly tossing aside while you proclaim your "Americanism."

    more hate:


    Oct 20th, 2008 | CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- Police at Western Carolina University and wildlife officials were investigating the discovery early Monday of a dead bear cub draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs.
    Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor for public relations, said Monday night that maintenance workers found the 75-pound bear cub shot to death in front of the schools administration building at the entrance to campus. The Obama yard signs were stapled together and placed over the bears head, Tvedt said.
    The bear had been shot in the head, Tvedt said.
    "Western Carolina University deplores the inappropriate behavior that has led to this troubling incident," Tvedt said. "We cannot speculate on the motives of the people involved nor who those people might be. Campus police are cooperating fully with authorities to investigate this matter."
    University police called in state Wildlife Resources officials to remove the body and help in the investigation.

    Whoever did this is sick and needs to be punished.  there is no need for any of this kind of crap.  In no way does the idiots that did this portray what conservatives think.  These people are sick and should not be tolerated by anyone.

    Obama is going back to Hawaii to see his grandma and i wish her the best and will keep her and Obama in my prayers and my thoughts.

    Barack Obama has another endorcement:


    the following comments were posted on the internet for all to see: 

    Aalam Al-Jabir 10:32AMOct 31st 2008


    Praise ALLAH that Brother Obama is so closely associated with A.C.O.R.N. This fine organization will help tremendously in getting the vote out for our Brother!!
                              
    Praise ALLAH that Brother Barack Hussein Obama has such great associates and friends as Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayres, Tony Rezko, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Rashid Khalidi, Father Michael Pfleger, Raila Odingo, Khalid Al Monsour and Nadhmi Auchi. These fine men show his superb judgment and character in choosing them as friends and associates. I hope that he will offer them roles in an Obama administration. This would be a great achievement for the United States of America and the world.


    I urge White America to vote for Brother Barack Obama. He will right the wrongs of the past, make reparations for past wrongs and erase the great stain of slavery and injustice on this country. I believe this will go a long way in helping to repay the debt owed to black people and help America shed it’s guilt.


    When our brother Barack Hussein Obama is president we will pray that he stops illegal Hispanic Immigrants from coming to this country. We need to expand legal immigration for people from AFRICA and the MIDDLE EAST who are hard working and want to come to this country for a better life.


    We need additional social programs to stimulate the economy not more jails. He can use the president’s power to pardon and release the unjustly convicted men and return them to their families. These people will benefit the economy. Our brother Barack Obama will do these things. ALLAH willing.


    I hope that the new President, Barack Hussein Obama will help the real estate market by the government buying foreclosed homes. We should move our people out of the ghetto projects and gift them a house in a regular neighborhood as part of wealth redistribution. This would make life better for all. White and black people could live side by side. This would be a great achievement. ALLAH willing


    Joe Biden should not have told everyone that Brother Obama will be tested within six months of his presidency. What was he thinking? That was supposed to be a secret, Brother Joe!!


    It will do this country good to see a BLACK man on the evening news everyday as their president instead of the racist TV shows like cops portraying black men as criminals. This country will finally start rebuilding AFRICA, helping our African brothers who suffer because of hundreds of years of white oppression.


    Now do we really think that Barack Obama shares the interests and the concerns of the United States and Isreal?
    Are we getting the message here?
    Get out and VOTE...

    DEAR AND MOST HONORABLE SIRS,

    I WAS WONDERING IF YOU MIGHT GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO THE DEATH OF THIS THREAD. AS I AM SURE YOU KNOW, AVAILABLE SPACE UN-USED IS MONEY FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET. THIS THREAD STARTED ON OCTOBER 13 AND ENDED ON NOVEMBER 3. MY COMMENT TODAY DOES NOT COUNT, ONLY BECAUSE I KNEW THE SITE WAS DEAD...THEREFORE I COULD GET JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ACROSS THE BORDER.

IF YOUR PROFITS DONT START GOING UP IN THE NEXT MONTH, YOU CAN KILL ME. IF THE OTHERWISE, YOU PAY ME $35.00. DEAL? OK. 

    ONCE AGAIN, I CANNOT POSSIBLY STRESS THE NEED FOR AN ADMINISTRATOR TO LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY LATE NIGHT INSANITIES.  

    HEY, YOU HAVE A NICE FIRM HANDSHAKE THERE.
    HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
    1. CLOSE DOWN THIS THREAD IMMEDIATELY.
    2. CLOSE DOWN ALL THREADS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
    3. BEGIN ONE NEW THREAD. MAKE SURE THE OPENING ARTICLE IS BORING, INNACURATE AND TOTALLY STUPID.

    UC...oh my!  Janet. Darlin.  Please, a word of advice. Take it or leave it.


    When you do something that is harmful to others, dont boast. It is so demeaning.  


    If I burp, in public, Im embarrassed. Thats just me.  Cant help it. The way I was raised.  It doesnt mean I am bad or imperfect, or trying to be something or someone better than others, it just means that the way I was reared, it is inappropriate, unacceptable behaviour, to me.


    Have you ever, ever, seen a film, a real, life, film of what is done to a human being, a precious, little, harmless baby, when an abortion takes their life, right out of their safe little haven?


    If you had, you could never, boast, brag, exault yourself, to such a position.  If you do not agree with this, to me, only to me, that seems to be no better than the terrorist, who behead, innocent victims that are kidnapped and beheaded.


    My God child.   They are torn from limb to limb.  It is worse than a horror flick.  


    I am not, I repeat, I am not judging you.   Thats not my place or authority.


    But the blood of your children are crying out from the Throne of god, to our Heavenly Father:
      
    How long, How long Father, will we have to wait?   I could tell you my story, but I wont, not here.  I can tell you this, your little ones, who you decided did not deserve a chance to make their own decisions, to have a life, to have a chance, to live, is on you.  Their blood is on your hands.


    If you think, that is something to boast about, my heart breaks for not only them, but for you.  That to me, seems so, inhuman.  So, unnatural.  So, cruel, cold, hamasish. 


    I cant help it.  Its the way I feel.  Who am I?  No one. My opinion means nothing to others.  I have to live with my feelings, my thoughts, my decisions and the outcome, was from my "free will"


    God bless those little souls who have gone to be with their Heavenly Father.  Thank God, He has shown them the Love you were incapable of showing them or comprehending.
