"Anybody who's running who's gone through the sixties and didn't smoke a joint, I don't want you for president. You haven't lived at all. What the fuck's wrong with you?"

The Truth About 'Global Warming'
"It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the 'research' to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, global warming, ie climate change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you 'believe in.' It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you global warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam.
I say this knowing you probably won't believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it... There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril... In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling."

Krauthammer on The Clintons
"Hillary's problem goes beyond discomfort with dynastic succession. It's deep unease about a shared presidency. Forget about Bill, the bad boy. The problem is William Jefferson Clinton, former president of the United States, commander in chief of the armed forces, George Washington's representative on Earth.
We have never had an ex-president move back into the White House. When in 1992 Bill Clinton promised 'two for the price of one,' it was taken as a slightly hyperbolic promotion of the role of first lady. This time we would literally be getting two presidents. Any ex-president is a presence in his own right. His stature, unlike, say, Hillary's during Bill's presidency, is independent of his spouse. From Day One of Hillary's inauguration, Bill will have had more experience than she at everything she touches. His influence on her presidency would necessarily be immeasurably greater than that of any father on any son.
Americans did not like the idea of a co-presidency when, at the 1980 Republican convention, Ronald Reagan briefly considered sharing the office with former president Gerald Ford. (Ford would have been vice president with independent powers.) And they won't like this co-presidency, particularly because the Clinton partnership involves two characters caught in the dynamic of a strained, strange marriage. The cloud hovering over a Hillary presidency is not Bill padding around the White House in robe and slippers flipping thongs. It's President Clinton, in suit and tie, simply present in the White House when any decision is made. The degree of his involvement in that decision will inevitably become an issue.
Do Americans really want a historically unique two-headed presidency constantly buffeted by the dynamics of a highly dysfunctional marriage?"

Veterans Day
"We're gathered today, just as we have gathered before, to remember those who served, those who fought, those still missing, and those who gave their last full measure of devotion for our country... One of those who fell wrote, shortly before his death, these words: 'Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.' Well, today, Veterans Day, as we do every year, we take that moment to embrace the gentle heroes of Vietnam and of all our wars. We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause... Our liberties, our values, all for which America stands is safe today because brave men and women have been ready to face the fire at freedom's front. And we thank God for them."
-- Ronald Reagan

What Democrats Stand For... Let's Dissect Them
1. IMMEDIATE and unconditional retreat from Iraq, the central front in the War on Terror. In recent months, attacks on coalition troops and Iraqi civilians are down 80%. The surge is proving to be an exceptional success. U.S. commanders have all but declared Al Qaeda in Iraq to be broken and shattered. AQI is no longer an effective fighting force. The flow of foreign fighters into Iraq has diminished. Iraqi civilians are increasingly taking charge of their country and working more and more closely with U.S. troops, yet House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refers to the war with phrases like, "there is no light at the end of the tunnel" and "Iraq is a disaster." Oh, but she supports the troops (riiiiight).
2. Higher taxes! M$$$$$. Clinton's new spending proposals will cost $773 BILLION and climbing. She can't pay for her programs without forcing crippling tax hikes on the American people.
3. Surrender of your personal freedom and liberties. For the past year, democrat leaders and Presidential candidates have been telling Americans that we're too stupid to take care of ourselves and we should surrender our lives to their control. Think about it. Democrats want to bail out folks who foolishly bought more home than they could afford or entered into high risk loans. The liberal food police think we're too fat, so they're going to control what and when we eat. Criminals use firearms to commit crime, so they want to try to abolish the 2nd Amendment so that NOBODY can own a gun. Higher taxes to pay for social programs to help those who refuse to play by the rules and earn an honest living.
4. Terrorists are people too and America must be gentle and respect their feelings. While Al Qaeda slices people's heads off with machetes, we must ensure that captured enemy fighters have the same, if not more legal rights than American citizens. They are entitled to legal representation and foot washing stations in captivity. Waterboarding a high value prisoner to get vital information that might prevent a mass casualty attack?? GOD NO! That's just mean!
5. Open borders. Liberals shudder at the idea of actually stopping millions of Mexicans from flooding across our border every year. Illegals make great puppets for liberals! In exchange for driver's licences, college tuition discounts and free medical care; illegals will support the democrat party, even if it's done illegally.
6. Further loss of religious freedom. The attacks on Christianity are getting worse and worse every day. Bleeding heart, liberal bureaucrats find crosses and crucifixes offensive. To them, God is bad and evil is perfectly acceptable so long as we appease it. Christmas lights and nativity scenes on your own home? Forget about it! For example, Ft. Collins, CO. has developed a "holiday decoration task force." Their goal... to make sure Christmas and Hanukkah DIE and give way to a more secular celebration. The 2% of atheist heathens in this country are actually given preferential treatment to the 80% of REAL Americans who love and worship God and believe that this nation was founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
7. American citizens serve the government, not the other way around. I cringe at what I've heard Mssss. Clinton utter so many times... "for the common good." Right. That's what Adolf Hitler, Nikita Kruschev and Joseph Stalin told their people when they took power. The people surrendered their freedoms "for the common good" and ended up with tyrannical dictatorships. No, Hillary is not Hitler reincarnated. But when the people surrender personal freedom and responsibility "for the common good", it is almost never returned.
Democrats have an insatiable thirst for pushing America further and further to the left, to the point where democracy will give way to socialism. Our Founding Fathers warned of this! Democrats preach that America is bad and the rest of the world, even the dictatorships (Cuba and Venezuela for examples) have it right. They say that it's patriotic to bash the Commander in Chief during a time of war. They say it's patriotic to offer more protection to the enemy than our own warriors who fight for our very lives. The libs have it all wrong! Senator Joe Lieberman had it right when he bashed his former party for abandoning the values it used to hold. He asked what happened to the party of John F. Kennedy who said, "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." If America is so bad, what will Msssss. Clinton do to make it better? The thought frightens me!

Hillary Clinton
"Senator Clinton is determined not to tell us where she stands on anything. Instead, she has come to believe, probably correctly, that if we knew what she really wants to do as president, we would never vote for her."

The REAL "Inconvenient Truth"
"Nobel Peace laureate Al Gore believes global warming is 'an inconvenient truth.' Here are some economic truths that America's liberal leadership finds too inconvenient to support. Tax-rate reductions increase tax revenues. This truth has been proved at both state and federal levels, including by President Bush's 2003 tax cuts on income, capital gains and dividends. Those reductions have raised federal-tax receipts by $785 billion, the largest four-year revenue increase in U.S. history.
In fiscal 2007, which ended last month, the government took in 6.7% more tax revenues than in 2006. These increases in tax revenue have substantially reduced the federal-budget deficits. In 2004 the deficit was $413 billion, or 3.5% of gross domestic product. It narrowed to $318 billion in 2005, $248 billion in 2006 and $163 billion in 2007. That last figure is just 1.2% of GDP, which is half of the average of the past 50 years. Lower tax rates have been so successful in spurring growth that the percentage of federal income taxes paid by the very wealthy has increased... Finally, another inconvenient truth is that there have been 49 consecutive months of job growth as a result of the economic expansion induced by President Bush's 2003 tax rate reductions."

Notable Quote -- Personal Responsibility
"It's about food. It's about your home. It's about your life. The government is worried about all of the above. All I'm saying is you should be worried they're worried. Here's why: They're telling you that you can't take care of yourself. You can't be trusted with what you put in your mouth or what you sign on the mortgage dotted line. So they'll tell you what to put in your mouth and they'll save you from what you signed on that dotted line. Does anyone see a trend here? Personal responsibility has now become government responsibility."
