Haven’t You Heard?

Quote of the day, from Tam:

You know, you expect it from MSNBC, but from the national network shows down to the local news programs, the Party Convention-related blurbs this morning have all had an air of

Now that the Nazis in Tampa have finished their cross-burning, put women back in purdah, and shoved grandma onto an ice floe, let’s see what the Real Americans are doing in Charlotte. Bob, over to you; do you have any official sense yet on how much more the Real Americans care about the little guy than the Nazis do, or are they saving that for a surprise?

Well, Barry still hasn’t lost his core constituency: The American media.

But, but George Stephanopoulos says there’s no bias in the media!

And by all means, read the rest of Tam’s post, which would be a QotD in and of itself.

Yup

Got that one from my brother in email tonight.  Kinda reminds me of this one:

 

In other news, Dinesh D’Souza’s new film 2016:  Obama’s America is apparently going to be #3 at the box office this week, even though it is in limited release, and it’s gaining in per-theater ticket sales with each successive week.  I didn’t realize it had opened here in Tucson this weekend.  I’ll have to catch it soon.  This is one I won’t mind paying full-price to see.

In Bill Whittle’s latest Stratosphere Lounge ‘cast, he said something interesting (I know, shocking, innit?):

There’s no question that American businesses are sitting on tons of money. There’s an enormous amount of private capital out there waiting to be spent, and they’re not spending it, and rightfully so. They’re not spending it because these Marxists in Washington have demonized business, demonized prosperity, demonized success, so rightfully and sensibly companies are not spending money. They’re not hiring people or buying new trucks or opening factories because they don’t know what the tax rate is. They haven’t even passed a budget in three years! They can’t predict it.

Then (viewer) Jeremy’s made this point – he’s said that it’s better to have a high tax rate that we know is coming than it is to have an unknowable tax rate, because businesses have to plan ahead. So if Ryan and Romney, Romney and Ryan, are elected in November, I predict the Dow’s going to jump five thousand points overnight, and before he’s inagurated the economy’s going to be up four, five, six percent in growth because of this.

Of course, needless to say, all the liberals will say it’s racism and Obama has already gone on record saying he doesn’t want Romney elected because Romney’s gonna get credit for the economic recovery which is going to be here just any minute. So if Romney is elected and the Dow jumps five thousand points the next day, and everybody starts hiring, Obama’s woulda said, “Man, if that election woulda only happened a week later, I woulda won!”

Yup.

I Am a Blank Screen!

I serve as a a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.

— Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope

I think that screen is fully illuminated now, but I had to post a photo of the Teleprompter of the United States (TOTUS).

Another Political Statement

Saw this one at AR15.com:


Well, to be fair, he won received the Nobel Peace Prize long before he implemented that foreign policy.  And most of those theater deaths were attributable to the Remington 870 shotgun, IIRC. 

That billboard’s supposed to be on I-12 outside of Baton Rouge, LA.

Quote of the Day

We all know this one:

If you’ve got a business…you didn’t build that.

Somebody else made that happen.

~ Barack Obama

That’s not the QotD. I told you that so I could tell you this:

If you’re claiming you got bin Laden……you didn’t do that.

Somebody else made that happen.

~ A Vietnam Vet
