I don't think liberals see the irony in this

Russ Feingold and the other liberals are still complaining about the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the 1st Amendment. Liberals always claim to love free speech until it threatens their monopoly.

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) sharply criticized Samuel Alito's reaction to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, calling the conservative Supreme Court justice’s behavior “inappropriate.”

During last night's address, Obama took aim at the Supreme Court's decision to gut campaign finance restrictions for corporations and labor unions. While Supreme Court justices typically maintain stoic dispositions during State of the Union addresses, Alito, who joined the 5-4 opinion, appeared to mouth the words “not true” as Obama spoke.

"That's not very judicial of him," Feingold told POLITICO. "Apparently, he thinks he gets to make the law. He should maintain his judicial demeanor, and that was inappropriate."

Besides the fact that ruling in favor of free speech is not making law, I guess he doesn't see the irony in this year. Most of what they hold precious has only passed because of the Courts. Gay marriage, abortion, restrictions on the 2nd Amendment and etc have all come from the courts. But I guess it's ok for judges to make law when it suits them.

If you think it's wrong to legislate from the bench, which it is, have some intellectual honesty. Call for the the Supreme Court to over turn Roe V Wade. Otherwise shut the Hell up.

Is this an alternate universe?

Diane Feinstien??? Really???

She actually said something I agree with.

President Barack Obama should order the trial for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other accused terrorists moved out of New York City, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Thursday.

Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is the highest-ranking Democrat to urge the administration to reverse course on its decision to bring the terror leaders to Manhattan for trial.

"In my view, from an intelligence perspective, I think the situation has changed with the Christmas attack," Feinstein said on MSNBC, citing confidential intelligence briefings.
Well just when I thought she was starting to get it...I was wrong.

"There are other places to try it in the U.S. that are much more remote, much less a target, and much less a squatting ground for propaganda around the world," Feinstein explained, though she declined to suggest to where else the administration might move the trials.
They should be tried in a military tribunal and not in civilian court. These terrorists aren't American citizens. They don't have Constitutional rights. This should not be a public trial and they should not get a court appointed lawyer and most importantly they should not be allowed to look into the governments classified intelligence.

But just when I thought a liberal like Diane Feistein was getting I was wrong. Liberals really don't care about our nations security. If they did they wouldn't give terrorists rights and allow those would want to slaughter our way of life the chance to make a spectacle out of this trial.

More of the same from Obama

How is it a Democratic President in Obama can get away with attacking the 1st Amendment? Oh ya...he is a Democrat. Most of the liberals in the Washington and in the media don't like free speech. That is direct competition for them. And they hate when they have competition.

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said. "Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong."

The shot of the black-robed Supreme Court justices, stone-faced, was priceless.

And his fellow Democrats agree...

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was glad the president called out the Supreme Court.


"He [Alito] deserved to be criticized, if he didn't like it he can mouth whatever they want," Weiner said. "These Supreme Court justices sometimes forget that we live in the real world. They got a real world reminder tonight, if you make a boneheaded decision, someone's going to call you out on it."

Obama mentioned he wants to enact a spending freeze starting in 2011. One I don't believe him and two if the spending freeze is so important, which it really is, why don't you start today. The problem is Obama is not genuine with what he says. And to make matters worse the Democrats want to raise the debt limit $1.9 trillion to a record $14.3 trillion.

Senate Democrats will vote to increase the nation’s debt limit to a record $14.3 trillion Thursday, one day after President Barack Obama emphasizes fiscal responsibility in his State of the Union address.

The Senate will vote to push the federal debt ceiling up by $1.9 trillion. Without the hike, the government could hit its borrowing limit by mid-February.
Here's a though. How about we stop spending so damn much? Run the government like a business with accountability. Or is that too much common sense for everyone down there? Here is a brilliant idea if we only raise 10 dollars only spend 10 dollars. That's called a balanced budget.

And of course there is fact checks here and here that pretty much show everything he said last night was a lie.

Where is Joe Wilson when you need him?

Imagine if a Republican...

Had said "I forgot he was black tonight..." Imagine the out roar from the Democrats. Imagine the out cry from the media. Obama is supposed to be above race. Doesn't matter if he is black, green, yellow or white. He is our President and that's all that should matter. If a Republican had said what Chris Matthews said he would have been branded a racist for life.

But of course all Chris Matthews sees is race. It sounds like he is saying blacks aren't supposed to be this good. How is that not racist?

If a Republican had said this his career would be over.

Will Obama learn from Clinton?

I'm hoping he doesn't. Right now the Democrats are falling as fast as the Republicans after Watergate.

Republican Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts' special Senate election was for Democratic leaders a moment that can be described in two words, of which I will only print the first here, which is "oh."

Left-wing bloggers, liberal columnists and the stray Nobel Prize winner-turned polemicist are all urging Democrats in Congress to pass, somehow, some way, a health care bill, and many of them are calling for a second and even larger stimulus bill.

But Democrats in Congress are replying, as politicians are wont to do when challenged by party wingers, that their name is on the ballot. New York Times editorialists can opine that the Massachusetts result had nothing to do with opposition to health care, but their life's work is not in peril.

Democratic officeholders know theirs is. Some are heading for the hills. Four well-regarded veteran congressmen announced their surprise retirements in December; two longtime Democratic senators folded in January. Family concerns have suddenly become very pressing.

If Obama was smart, and I'm not so sure he has much common sense, he would take a lesson from Bill Clinton. After the Republicans took the House back in 1994 Clinton moved towards the center from his far left wing agenda that crippled the Democrats. But I think Obama is much more arrogant, as I've wrote before, than Bill Clinton ever was.

I have a feeling Obama isn't going to move towards the center. He is going to move even further to the left and try to damage the country even greater.

We will see how Obama wishes to move his administration tonight in his State of the Union address.

Guess the science isn't settled

We've been hearing for years that man made global warming is a fact and the science behind it can't be disputed. Even though there has been countless scientists who have come out over the years disproving the "science" of global warming. But the longer and loader the global warming extremists have been spouting their lie the more and more it has come unraveled. And the more us on the right are being proven right once again.

The impact of global warming has been exaggerated by some scientists and there is an urgent need for more honest disclosure of the uncertainty of predictions about the rate of climate change, according to the Government’s chief scientific adviser.

John Beddington was speaking to The Times in the wake of an admission by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that it grossly overstated the rate at which Himalayan glaciers were receding.

Professor Beddington said that climate scientists should be less hostile to sceptics who questioned man-made global warming. He condemned scientists who refused to publish the data underpinning their reports.

He said that public confidence in climate science would be improved if there were more openness about its uncertainties, even if that meant admitting that sceptics had been right on some hotly-disputed issues.

He said: “I don’t think it’s healthy to dismiss proper scepticism. Science grows and improves in the light of criticism. There is a fundamental uncertainty about climate change prediction that can’t be changed.”

He said that the false claim in the IPCC’s 2007 report that the glaciers would disappear by 2035 had exposed a wider problem with the way that some evidence was presented.

“Certain unqualified statements have been unfortunate. We have a problem in communicating uncertainty. There’s definitely an issue there. If there wasn’t, there wouldn’t be the level of scepticism. All of these predictions have to be caveated by saying, ‘There’s a level of uncertainty about that’.”

At least some of the so called global warming experts are admitting the lie.

Conservatism is beating Republicanism

Let this be a lesson to all the other RINO's out there.

Marco Rubio has surged to his first lead in Florida's Republican Senate primary.

A new Quinnipiac poll shows the former state House Speaker leading Gov. Charlie Crist (R) 47-44 in a race that has shifted dramatically in Rubio's favor in recent months.

Crist led the race by 29 points in August and 15 points in October.

Rubio also leads Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.) 44-35 in the general election, while Crist leads Meek 48-36.

If you're a Republican and you want to support Health Care, amnesty for illegals, cap and trade or any other legislation that's going to hurt the American people we will vote you out. The Republican elites have the conservative movement just as much as the liberal elites hate it. But conservatism wins every time it is tried. The American people are conservative by nature, even if some don't realize it.

Obama has one thing right at least

Obama talking to Diane Sawyer.

"I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president," he told ABC's "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview today.

Obama sat down with Sawyer two days before he will deliver a State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress, and he acknowledged the political setbacks of his first year in office.

Well he did get one thing right at least. He is going to be a one term President. Especially if he keeps on his current pace. He has already been the most polarizing President, in the 1st year, as any other President in history. And he thinks the best way to fix that is to be more prominent and make more speeches. The problem is, this is the first job Obama has had where making charismatic speeches isn't enough. This is the first job where he has actually had to do something and do something well. Obama doesn't know how to lead or make decisions. And it has shown through to the American people.

The arrogance that is Obama

The only reason Massachusetts voters voted for Scott Brown was to support Obama's agenda in Washington.

WALLACE: But you’re not suggesting…

GIBBS: No, no.

WALLACE: … this was a…

GIBBS: No, no.

WALLACE: … mandate for Barack Obama?

GIBBS: Of course not. But I’m also not suggesting that what you said a minute ago meets the truth test either, and let’s…

WALLACE: You don’t think that…

GIBBS: No, no. Chris, hold on.

WALLACE: You don’t think that when they voted for…

GIBBS: Hold on, Chris. Chris, hold on.

WALLACE: … Scott Brown they were voting against Obama’s policies?

GIBBS: That’s not what they told pollsters. No. I think people are angry in this country — they were angry in Massachusetts — that we haven’t made more progress on the economy.

Let’s ask the question on health care. They asked specifically — now, again, this is somebody that you’re saying is all about stopping health care reform.

WALLACE: He said he was the 41st vote.

GIBBS: I understand, and I hope he doesn’t misread the electorate. Seventy percent of the voters in Massachusetts want him to work with Democrats on health care reform. Only 28 percent want to stop health care reform from happening.

Chris, if Republicans want to assume that the outcome of what happened in Massachusetts is a big endorsement of their policies, when 40 percent are enthusiastic about them and 58 percent are angry about them, then I hope they misread that election as badly as anybody could.

What people want in this country is they want to us focus on getting this economy moving again. They want us to work together. And the president has tried, and I hope that Republicans will try to work with the president.

But that kind of anger and dissatisfaction at the fact that Washington far too many times puts the special interests ahead of their interests — that anger still persists. That’s what people said in Massachusetts.

How much more arrogant can you get than that? Obama and company are either completely stupid or extremely arrogant. I'm not sure which.

If I had to bet I'm going with arrogant.

Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”

If Obama thinks his "popularity" will save the Democratic party in 2010 he is sadly mistaken. It hasn't helped in VA, NJ, or MA. So far Obama is 0-3 in elections. To make matters worse for the Democrats, a bunch of elected officials including the likes of Chris Dodd, have already announced there retirement from elected office rather than lose in a re-election bid.

The best thing for the Democratic Party and Obama would be for him to put a halt to his agenda and for Obama not to make a public appearance, much like Tiger Woods, for months. The more he talks the less popular he becomes.

Liberals should take notice...

But we all know they won't and never will.

This should be a good lesson for them...

Sales of previously occupied homes took the largest monthly drop in more than 40 years last month, sinking more dramatically than expected after lawmakers gave buyers additional time to use a tax credit.

The report reflects a sharp drop in demand after buyers stopped scrambling to qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homeowners. It had been due to expire on Nov. 30. But Congress extended the deadline until April 30 and expanded it with a new $6,500 credit for existing homeowners who move.

Imagine that...if you give people tax credit and incentive to spend they will. Just like if you give business's tax cuts and incentives they will grow. But the minute you tax them more, just like when you take away the tax credit for houses, spending dries up. Is that really that hard of a concept to understand?

Imagine if a Republican...

Gave a sweat heart deal to a big Republican donor with out taking any bids. But that's exactly what Obama just did and I'm sure he won't take any where near the flack Bush took for using Halliburton. But at least in Halliburton's defense the only other company that can even come close to what they do is a French company.

Despite President Obama's long history of criticizing the Bush administration for "sweetheart deals" with favored contractors, the Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids, Fox News has learned.

The contract, awarded on Jan. 4 to Checchi & Company Consulting, Inc., a Washington-based firm owned by economist and Democratic donor Vincent V. Checchi, will pay the firm $24,673,427 to provide "rule of law stabilization services" in war-torn Afghanistan.

A synopsis of the contract published on the USAID Web site says Checchi & Company will "train the next generation of legal professionals" throughout the Afghan provinces and thereby "develop the capacity of Afghanistan's justice system to be accessible, reliable, and fair."

The legality of the arrangement as a "sole source," or no-bid, contract was made possible by virtue of a waiver signed by the USAID administrator. "They cancelled the open bid on this when they came to power earlier this year," a source familiar with the federal contracting process told Fox News.

"That's kind of weird," said another source, who has worked on "rule of law" issues in both Afghanistan and Iraq, about the no-bid contract to Checchi & Company. "There's lots of companies and non-governmental organizations that do this sort of work."

Imagine if a Democrat...

In a heavily Republican state raised an astounding $13 million in what should have been a safe seat for the Republicans. Which is exactly what Scott Brown did in the process of derailing Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.

Brown raised so much late money - about $1 million a day via the Internet at the end - that he couldn’t spend it all. He ended the campaign with an estimated $4 million in his campaign account, spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said. The campaign’s original budget was $1.2 million, but it ultimately raised about $13 million. With a flush campaign account, Brown will enter office in a stronger position to defend against an almost certain challenge in 2012.
If the roles were reversed and the Democrat had out raised and won a seat in a Republican state the media would be going crazy. The talking points would be how the Republican party is failing the country. How the people have seen the light and the trend is going to be towards an overwhelming support nation wide of Democrats.

But of course we won't see any of that from the main steam media.

Imagine if a Republican...

Made another broken promise.

The Obama administration has decided to continue to imprison without trials nearly 50 detainees at the Guantánamo Bay military prison in Cuba because a high-level task force has concluded that they are too difficult to prosecute but too dangerous to release, an administration official said on Thursday

However, the administration has decided that nearly 40 other detainees should be prosecuted for terrorism or related war crimes. And the remaining prisoners, about 110 men, should be repatriated or transferred to other countries for possible release, the official said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the numbers.

There are just under 200 detainees left at the detention center.


Doesn't really need an explanation. Just more lip service from Obama that he never followed through with.

Imagine if a Republican...

Told a woman, not once but twice, to act like a lady in a middle of a political debate. But that's exactly what Arlen Specter did to Michele Bachmann in a radio debate.

Sen. Arlen Specter, during a tense radio conversation with Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, told Bachmann to "act like a lady" rather than interrupt him.

Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican, spoke at length on Pittsburgh's 1210 AM with host Dom Giordano. When Specter, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, started to respond, Bachmann interjected.

Specter asked her to "stop interrupting," to which Bachmann responded, "I didn't interrupt you."

"Now, wait a minute, I'll stop and you can talk," Specter said. "I'll treat you like a lady. Now act like one."

"Well, I am a lady," Bachmann replied.

The two continued to bicker, and Specter again asked her to "act like a lady." She again said she was a lady
Imagine if Rush Limbaugh said that to a Democratic Rep. Oh my God would the media have a field day with that. The sexist card would be getting thrown out all over the place. But because Arlen Specter is a Republican turned Democrat. Which the media loves, he doesn't get any criticism. If Arlen Specter was a conservative Republican and he said that to say Nancy Pelosi the media would be calling for his resignation. They would be saying, how could such a sexist be in the Congress?

Imagine if a Republican...

Promised to fix all the problems in the world and failed...

President Barack Obama says his administration overestimated its ability to persuade the Israelis and Palestinians to resume meaningful peace talks.

Obama says both parties have been unwilling to make the bold gestures needed to move the process forward. If the U.S. had anticipated that earlier, Obama says he might not have raised his expectations so high.

Obama says the U.S. will continue to work toward a two-state solution in which Israel is secure and the Palestinians have sovereignty. His remarks came in an interview with Time Magazine published Thursday.

Well this doesn't really shock me. The problems with between Israel and the Palestinians can't and will never be fixed by peace talks. But if a Republican promised he would be the one who could get the two of them to talk out their problems he would be getting bashed as a poor leader who has no charisma.

But what Obama and the liberals don't understand is these people hate each other to the core. The Palestinians hate the Israeli's so much so they are willing to strap bombs onto themselves just to kill a few of them. Hatred that strong can't be solved with a treaty.

The only way there will ever be peace between the two is if one side totally destroys and dominates the other. We just need to let the two side have a knock out drag out war and who ever wins, most likely Israel, then there will be peace.

Why isn't this surprising?

Massachusetts unemployment took a jump from 8.7% to 9.4%.

While some economists think the recession is technically over, the jobs picture in Massachusetts continues to worsen, with the unemployment rate jumping to 9.4 percent last month from a revised 8.7 percent in November, according to new data.

Employers slashed 8,400 jobs last month.

“It’s an unpleasant surprise,” said Northeastern University economist Alan Clayton-Matthews. “At first glance, it looks dismal.”

Unpleasant surprise? Well it sure is unpleasant but it isn't much of a surprise. Employers cut jobs when taxes are increased. That's called common sense. Or they just leave the state completely. Raising taxes, like Deval has done, is the worst possible thing that can be done in the middle of a recession. How is taking money out of the peoples pocket going to stimulate anything?

Only the Democrats would get mad...

When the Supreme Court rules in favor of the 1st Amendment.

Democratic leaders will push legislation to limit the impact of Thursday’s Supreme Court decision that lifted restrictions on corporate spending in politics.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Senate Rules Committee and third-ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, said he would hold hearings to explore ways to limit corporate spending on elections.

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down major provisions of campaign finance reform Thursday, clearing the way for an influx of corporate and union money in politics.

The decision will be crucial in the 2010 elections, when many House and Senate seats will be in play.

Schumer said the plan is to pass legislation by Election Day.

"The bottom line is this: The Supreme Court has just pre-determined the winners of next November's elections," Schumer said. "It won't be Republicans, it won't be Democrats, it will be corporate America."
No Sen. Schumer the people win when we have more freedoms. What you are really mad about is losing the control of your liberal monopolized media. You and the rest of your ilk have been bashing the CEOs of every major corporation and now it's finally time they can fight back. Finally there will be some balance and that scares you.

Even when the Democrats lose...

It's still all the Republicans fault.

DC -Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President Andy Stern released the following statement after Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts.

"Today is no different than yesterday or the day before or the day before that. Pat DeJong will still wake up in Libby, Montana. Pat is still mourning the loss of her husband and the selling of his family's ranch because of his medical bills. And, Pat will still go to the bed side of her patients each day, providing excellent care, still lacking coverage of her own," said SEIU President Andy Stern. "Pat's reality is the reality millions of working people face every day. One political election does not change the fact that Pat and hardworking families across this country have been asking for and deserve fundamental reforms.

"The reason Ted Kennedy's seat is no longer controlled by a Democrat is clear: Washington's inability to deliver the change voters demanded in November 2008. Make no mistake, political paralysis resulted in electoral failure.

"During the past year, Republicans refused to do anything but stand in the way of change and Democratic Senators took too long to do too little. And tonight, the Senate bears the consequences for its failure to act decisively but the American people are the ones left paying the price

It's not that Marcia Chokely ran a horrible campaign, she couldn't even spell her own home state of Massachusetts right in an ad, or that Scott Brown ran a fantastic campaign that resonated with the people of Massachusetts. Or maybe because Coakley was lazy and felt entitled to the seat. She wouldn't even bother standing out in the "rain and cold" to shake hands with Bruins fans. Why would she want to associate with the peons who would watch hockey? Or it couldn't be that Obama has enraged the American people so much so that even a liberal state like Mass could elect a Republican.

Nope none of that is the reason. It's all because the Republicans stood up for the American people and their principles.

I hate to tell you Andy, not that you'd listen anyways, the reason Coakley lost wasn't because of the Republicans standing in the way of "change". It's because the Democrats have moved so far to the left that the American people are finally (hopefully) getting it, at least for now.

Imagine if a Republican...

Were President and this was the economic news.

WASHINGTON (AP) - New jobless claims rise more than expected to 482,000, while total rolls also increase.
Well the media is still blaming Bush for the economic mess...so I guess we already know how he media would react. But imagine if this happened while Bush or any other Republican was President.

But of course, Obama, their savor, has no blame what so ever. The fact that his policies scare the ever living crap out of businesses means nothing to them. Most companies are afraid of doing anything right now because they don't know if his Universal Health Care will pass or if Cap and Trade will pass. They can't forecast what their expenses will be over the coming years because they just don't know. The more and more legislation Obama wants passed just means more taxes on business.

If the media was honest they would be calling for tax cuts to fix our economic mess. It works in the 60s for JFK, in the 80s for Reagan, and with out Bush's tax cuts in the 2000's things would have been a lot worse. The more the government intrudes into the economy the worse it gets.

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Imagine if a Republican...

Commentator called a Democratic winner of a close election every name under the book. The media would be calling for that commentators resignation. Saying how much of a sore loser they are and how the people have spoken and you should just deal with it.

But not at MSNBC, I guess Keith Olbermann is free to say whatever he wants.

"In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees."

Monday, January 18, 2010

Imagine if a Republican...

Tried to campaign at Martin Luther King Jr breakfast tribute. The media would have bashed that Republican for trying to politicize such a historic figure. The talking points would be about how such events shouldn't be political. But yet Martha Coakley does so with out any criticism.

Martha Coakley spoke to the Boston Martin Luther King Day Breakfast this morning, making the case to a subdued crowd of dignitaries at the Hynes convention center that voting for her tomorrow will help carry on King's legacy.

"I'm running for the United States Senate because Dr. King's work is unfinished; his dream is unrealized," she said.

"Tomorrow we act on the dream and we make sure that we allow me to continue that work," Coakley said. "We remember the dream tomorrow and we will act on the dream tomorrow."

"I know that he would be standing rught on the front line for health care — not as a right — not as a privilege, but as a right, as Ted Kennedy always said," Coakley said of King.

"If you send me to the Senate, I will be guided by those values," she said of President Barack Obama and King to a packed ballroom that included her opponent, Scott Brown, who sat in the crowd; Coakley sat on the dais.
Scott Brown did the right and classy thing. He didn't try and campaign at this event.

Imagine if a Republican...

A republican commentary told a Republican state to cheat in order to keep a Democrat from getting elected. But that is exactly what MSNBC's Ed Schultz said the democrats in Massachusetts should do to keep Scott Brown out of the Senate.

SCHULTZ (23:02): I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they ar
Again, imagine if Rush Limbaugh said Republicans should cheat in Texas to keep a surging Democrat out of office. The media would be calling for all his advertisers to drop him and they would be saying that Rush is trying to impede the Democratic process.

Imagine if a Republican...

Said he agrees with terrorism and is glad what he is doing would be considered a good recruitment tool to get more terrorists. But that's exactly what James Cameron thinks about his new movie, Avatar.

And no, that’s not taken out of context.

Entertainment Weekly asked Cameron to respond to some of the criticisms aimed at him regarding “Avatar.” Check out how he responded to this one:

EW: “’Avatar’ is the perfect eco-terrorism recruiting tool.”

JC: “Good, good. I like that one. I consider that a positive review. I believe in eco-terrorism.”

Is he joking (there’s no – laughs – insert included in the text)?


Could you imagine if Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck said they are happy that what they are doing is resulting in more terrorism. The media would be calling for them to be taken off the air waves. But of course James Cameron, because he is a big liberal, will never be criticized.

Friday, January 15, 2010

Imagine if a Republican...

Or actually Republicans, said they were going to jam a bill through the Senate, with a simple majority vote, breaking the Senate rules. What would the media be saying? Probably something like they don't care about the wishes of the American people. Or they are trying to derail the democratic process. But when the Democrats say that is exactly what they might do even if Scott Brown wins the special election. No one in the media cares. Actually they do care they are applauding it.

Even if Democrats lose the special election to pick a new Massachusetts senator Tuesday, Congress may still pass health-care overhaul through a process called reconciliation, a top House Democrat said.

That procedure requires 51 votes rather than the 60 needed to prevent Republicans from blocking votes on President Barack Obama’s top legislative priorities. That supermajority is at risk as the Massachusetts race has tightened.

“Even before Massachusetts and that race was on the radar screen, we prepared for the process of using reconciliation,” Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said.

“Getting health-care reform passed is important,” Van Hollen said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend. “Reconciliation is an option.”

Imagine if a Republican...

Scott Brown used the image of the World Trade Center to show that Martha Coakley is weak on defense. I could see the headlines now about how he is a fear monger. And how he should be ashamed of himself from bringing such horrific images back into the peoples minds. It would just be horrible.

But yet Martha Coakley can use the image of the World Trade Center and no one in the media bats and eye...if not for Republican outrage she would still be showing the ad. But why isn't the media outraged by this? Why because she is one of the liberal elites.

Imagine if a Republican...

President wanted to raise taxes but big business's would be exempt. Can you imagine how the media and the Democrats would be attacking said Republican. On how we only care about business's and not the average person. But Obama and the Democrats want to exempt Unions from the health care tax. So why isn't the media attacking Obama for exempting his own special interest groups. But if a Republican did the same they would get attacked for it.

Big Labor got some big love from President Obama and congressional Democrats yesterday after they agreed to exempt union workers from the whopping “Cadillac tax” on high-cost health-care plans until 2018.

The sweetheart deal, hammered out behind closed doors, will save union employees at least $60 billion over the years involved, while others won't be as lucky -- they'll have to cough up almost $90 billion.

The 40 percent excise tax on what have come to be called "Cadillac" health-care plans would exempt collective-bargaining contracts covering government employees and other union members until Jan. 1, 2018.

Imagine if a Republican...

Said that devout Catholics shouldn't bother working in an Emergency room.

Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.

Martha Coakley: No we have a seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.

Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.

Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.


I could just see the media bashing Scott Brown if he had said that. They would be calling for him to drop out of the race because he is discriminating base on religion. But yet Martha Coakley can say that and it barely makes news.

Imagine if a Republican

Well this is a little reverse...Imagine if a Democrat was winning a race in a heavily Republican state?

The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.
Imagine if this was Texas, or any other red state, and a Senate seat that was held for 40 years by a Republican was in jeopardy of being over taken by a relatively unknown opponent? How would the media be treating this? They would be calling this the end of conservatism and the end of the Republican party.

But in Massachusetts with Scott Brown taking the lead over Martha Coakley I have not heard once from the main stream media that this is the end of liberalism.

Imagine if a Republican...

If a Republican had made the statement Harry Reid made do you think this would be true?

The controversy over Harry Reid's crack about Barack Obama's lack of a "Negro dialect" is apparently over, at least according to the broadcast networks. Although the story only broke Saturday afternoon, the last network news story aired Tuesday night on Nightline.

An MRC analysis found that from Saturday to Tuesday the networks ran a combined 37 items on Reid's "Negro" remark, including interviews and panel discussions. Broadcast opinions were heavily skewed in Reid's favor: 71% of interview guests, soundbites or quoted sources were supportive of the Democrat, vs. 29% who were critical of Reid.

If a Republican made that comment it would be 99.9% critical.

But at least one Democrat is almost being intellectually honest.

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) broke with the party line last night saying he's not sure whether Harry Reid should resign .

For the last week, Democrats have circled around Reid (D-Nev.) after it was revealed the Senate majority leader used the terms "Negro dialect" and "light-skinned" when describing President Barack Obama's 2008 candidacy.

But Feingold says he's not sure whether Reid should keep his post.

But when Trent Lott said this country would have been better off if Strong Thurman won the Presidency in 1948 even the Republicans were critical and forced Lott to resign. Sad that you don't see anyone from the media or from the Democratic Party calling for his resignation after these racist comments.

Imagine if a Republican...

If Scott Brown had misspelled Massachusetts in one of his ads it would have been front page news on the Boston Globe. It would have been the lead story on all the TV news outlets. And just might have derailed his entire campaign. I mean, what kind of idiot can't even spell their own home state?

But of course if Martha Coakley misspells Massachusetts if barely makes the news. And she gets away with it. It doesn't matter how many screw ups she does the media won't take her to task on any of them.

Now imagine if Sarah Palin had misspelled Alaska. How much more abuse would the media have blasted her on that? Really...think about that.

Now why does Martha Coakley get a pass on these things?

Imagine if a Republican...

Staffer attacked a reporter asking them a tough questions.

The media would be blasting that candidate for strong arming the media and not having the courage to stand up and answer the tough questions. The media would be saying if the candidate can't even answer a tough question on the campaign trail how is he/she going to handle answering tough questions in the Senate?

But since this was one of the elitists in Martha Coakley, I don't even think this has been reported on any of the major newspapers or news outlets. Like most liberal screw ups the media is trying it's best to cover it up.

Imagine if a Republican...

Had said this about Obama.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.
Do you think if a Republican had said the same thing about Obama he would have been let off with a simple apology? But of course all Harry Reid had to say was he deeply regretted his choice of words.

A Republican would have been called a racist on every major newspaper, magazine and cable outlet. Not only that they would have tried to portray the whole party as the party of racists. But of course when Harry Reid, or any other liberal elite, says something racist. It was just a poor choice of words.
