Democrat Congressman Admits That They Lied About Pulling Out Of Iraq To Get Liberal Votes

Surprise, surprise. Here's the link.

Good Riddance

Susan Sarandon is promising to move to Canada if McCain is elected. There's one reason to vote for McCain. I'm still waiting for Alec Baldwin to vacate the country since President Bush was reelected.

McCain FOR Amnesty, AGAIN!!!

He lied to us to win our nomination, claiming that he had learned his lesson about amnesty. He can count on us, many of us, to stay home.

Here are some of "God's children" as Senator McCain likes to describe illegal aliens. Who needs borders, anyway?

Jim Miranda, Illegal Alien Advocate Extraordinaire, "Okay" With Prohibiting Illegal Aliens From Receiving In-State Tuition

Like he had a choice. He has to provide cover for Governor Beebe, who shot himself in the foot when he had to backtrack on his claim that the Secure Arkansas ballot initiative was unnecessary.

Either way, this is a huge victory for Secure Arkansas and opponents of illegal immigration. They forced the governor to do something that he definitely didn't want to do.

Democrats Are the Reason Oil Prices Are High

Apparently, according to Chuck Schumer, drilling in Anwar will only lower the cost of oil by 1 penny... Increased production in the Middle East will lower the cost by $25 per barrel.

You'd think he was trying to prevent us from drilling for domestic oil or something...

Heavy Tornado Season Sign of Cooling

GLOBAL WARMING hoaxers got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, again. Even though tornadoes are caused by cold fronts, these geniuses can't help but blame every weather event on their hoax.

McClellan's Disloyalty

I spoke with a former advisor to President Bush earlier about what they thought of Scott McClellan's new book. Needless to say, they weren't impressed with the tenuous position McClellan's put himself in. I'd add my thoughts, but this pretty well says it all:

"I haven't read the book but it appears to be a book written out of anger for being fired. What has he accomplished ultimately? He has provided no real new information. He has shown himself to be disloyal. All for a little money that will be spent in two years. Not smart for a guy who will have to live in Texas with the President for years to come."

Obama Worried About How American Lifestyle Is Viewed By Other Countries

"'We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,' Obama said."

This is terrifying. What kind of AMERICAN president would care what some other country thinks about us enjoying the lifestyles WE'VE EARNED!!!?

Griffin Rumors

Rumors have been circulating that former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin was moving back to Washington, D.C. to serve as RNC Research Director. I've checked a few sources and it turned out not to be true. Griffin has apparently spoken with the McCain campaign about serving as a senior advisor for communications but decided not to pursue the position, deciding instead to sit out this cycle to focus on his family and building his new law firm and public affairs business.

Also, rumors have been circulating that Griffin was involved with the Swiftboat attacks that sunk John Kerry. My sources tell me that definitely isn't the case. Democrats are desperate for a boogieman, I guess.

David Sanders has a very interesting column about the Griffin hubbub.

Huck Didn't Major in Math

Thanks to Max for drawing my attention to this Huckabee interview where he claims he'd be the Republican nominee if only our rules were like the democrat rules. He's eternally optimistic where his ambitions are concerned so he conveniently assumed that Romney, who was way ahead of Huck when he dropped out, still would've dropped out.

Huck's right that McCain wouldn't be our nominee. I'm not sure how Huck thinks he's gonna get McCain to make him his #2 as by insulting him. In that scenario, though, Huck wouldn't be the nominee. Romney would, by a mile, or somebody else who might not have dropped out.

Remembering Memorial Day

It's not about BBQing and going to the lake with friends and family. It's about remembering those who have sacrificed so that we could live free in the greatest country on earth. Some of them are in harm's way right this minute. Say a prayer for them and thank God that there are men such as these.

Tennessee Discriminating Against Homeschooled High School Graduates

Even if you have a college degree or more, don't bother applying for a government job in Tennessee if you have a homeschool high school diploma.

I don't expect this to last long in Tennessee, but it demonstrates the depth of disdain elitists have toward homeschoolers, which is ironic since homeschoolers are the actual academic elites of our country.

Hillary: Cutting Taxes Has To Be "Paid For"...Raising Taxes Doesn't Have to Be Paid For, Though...?

"Senator McCain said let's give everybody a gas tax holiday but doesn't want to pay for it. I think I've got the best plan. Let the oil companies pay it out of their excess profits," she said.

This concept in government budgeting is called being revenue neutral. As usual, democrats, as shown by Hillary, are only interested in being revenue neutral with government budgets. It never crossed their mind to be revenue neutral with taxpayer budgets. When's the last time you heard a politician say, if we're gonna raise this tax, we have to make sure it's revenue neutral for the taxpayer, i.e. "we have to pay for it"? You never hear it.

Politicians don't think that way. Revenue neutral only exists in terms of "government" money to them.

Subsidizing Ethanol Putting Pinch on Other Farmers

Arkansas catfish producers are feeling the pinch of rising grain prices as the government continues to subsidize ethanol production. At last count, there were 4 gas stations in Arkansas that sell E85 fuel. That's some reward for how much we spend on subsidizing the fuel. In the meantime cattle ranchers and catfish farmers, among many others, are struggling to keep up. That's government running the economy for ya.

Here the link.

Gov. Beebe Suggests Cutting State Employee Travel to Save Money Because of Rising Fuel Costs

Here's a question: if the state can operate with less traveling, why didn't he stop wasting our money sooner? While I'm on the subject, why not help out Arkansas taxpayers by giving us a budget increase? The state government could do with less, couldn't it? I know Arkansas taxpayers would love to keep more of their money to help relieve tight budgets.

Typical Huckabee...Says One Thing, Does Another

Huck says he wants to be McCain's #2 one minute. But he's out shooting himself in the foot with his stupid comment about someone shooting Obama the next.

It kinda reminds me of his claims of being a conservative while ignoring his actions which were those of a liberal. Having raised our taxes, on net, by more than half a billion dollars and overseen the greatest expansion of government in Arkansas history, you'd think he'd just own up to the fact that he's a fiscal liberal.

Top Congressional Democrat Calls For Federal Government To "Socialize" Oil Companies

I guess she thinks the federal government could run the oil companies like it runs Social Security...

I love how the Congressmen beside her can't help but laugh uncomfortably at the end because they know she's just shown what democrats really think.

Jim Miranda...Media Darling, Proponent of Illegal Immigration...Not "Immigration Advocate"

How much more positive, free press is the media going to give Jim Miranda? The stories keep coming.

"Immigration advocate"? That seems to be the accepted nomenclature to describe people who advocate no enforcement of laws involving illegal immigration. Mr. Miranda knows the difference between legal and illegal immigration, but the media is giving him a pass and accepting his deceptive description.

Miranda and his ilk are advocating the thwarting of American sovereignty and calling it racism is specious and demeaning to the debate. It's not a big surprise considering that he is already being deceptive leaving out the term illegal.

Missouri Car Dealership Giving Away Handguns to Car Buyers

This isn't a joke and it's AWESOME. Despite liberal claims that more guns equal more crime, I'll lay odds that there won't be a crazy shootout as a result of law-abiding Americans exercising their constitutional right.

This is the actual ad from the dealership, Max Motors of Butler, MO.

I'd like to quote the story, but I'd have to quote it all because it's all priceless. Their slogan states, "We are aware of the gasoline and crime problem in America."

Democrats (Who Have Stopped Increased Domestic Production) Now Plan to Sue OPEC Over Oil Prices

Talk about feeble efforts. In what court of law do they expect to hold accountable a multi-national cartel?

The real slap in the face is the fact that it is democrats who are the reason why we're in this position to begin with and why we remain here. We have more untapped oil our own country than Saudi Arabia and haven't built a refinery in 30 years, all because of democrat allegiance to the radical environmentalist agenda. The democrat party and environmentalism are the reason why it costs us nearly $4/gallon every time we fill up. And they posture and beat their chests as if it's the fault of anybody else.

Victory For Arkansans Against Illegal Immigration/Embarrassment for Governor Beebe

Just last night I posted the story showing that Governor Beebe was wrong (or lying) when he claimed that Arkansas doesn't spend any taxpayer money on illegal aliens.

Almost immediately after that article, he issued an executive order calling for Arkansas's universities to cease giving scholarships to illegal aliens.

This is a HUGE embarrassment for the governor. It's also a HUGE victory for those of us who value our nation's sovereignty and don't want our money to be used to reward illegal immigration. You can rest assured that the governor wasn't happy about this embarrassment or having to take this measure. He's illustrating how out of touch he is with the average Arkansan.

Here's the link.

EMBARRASSMENT...AP: "Beebe's stance on illegal immigration measure has holes"

Thanks to Jon Gambrell of the Associated Press for his thorough look at the flaws in Gov. Beebe's claims that the immigration ballot initiative is redundant with state and federal law. There are several problems with Beebe's claims and this article highlights a number of them.

Beebe is, as usual, trying to have it both ways. He can make opponents of the initiative happy by opposing it while sounding like he is opposed to illegal immigration to make the vast majority of the state happy. The problem is he's not shooting straight with the people of Arkansas when he claims his opposition to this initiative, which will deny welfare benefits and other taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens, is because it is unnecessary and redundant.

Read the article on the link to see a nice list of the problems with Beebe's political posturing.

Linda Bisbee: 527 Targeting Husband, Was "Double Punch" That Knocked Her Out

This was a nice turn of events. According to Linda Bisbee, a 527 which distributed mailers publicizing her husband's liberal record was a two-for-one that knocked her out of the race.

Sadly, she wasn't the only spouse who didn't win their race. It's good that she loss, but Vickey Boozman, who would've been a real asset to the Caucus, also lost, which is a sad turn of events.

Democrat Crossovers in Benton County Illustrate the Power of Minorities...Hopefully Our Caucus Is Paying Attention

This is especially important to remember after given Max Brantley's piece of wishful thinking that there is a sea change in the Republican party, based on Tuesday's results.

Tim Summers and Mary Lou Slinkard owe their elections to democrats crossing over into the Republican primary in Benton County. We'll have a definitive number after the list of primary voters is released, showing who voted in the democrat presidential primary and then voted in the Republican primary Tuesday.

Max seems to think this is a triumph of moderate Republicans over conservative Republicans because Republican primary voters are fed up with conservatives. I wonder what Max will say when the voter lists show how large the democrat crossover was. The margin would've been huge in the direction of conservative candidates if it hadn't been for the heavy democrat crossover.

Now, on to the Caucus: if there ever was an example of what a very small number of people can do to shake things up, this is it. 300-400 democrats voting, representing 10-20% of the vote in these races, ushered in 2 more liberals as Republicans. If our caucus would unify behind a conservative agenda, we could be a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, democrats crossing over have handed us another batch of liberal RINOs to deal with for the next 2 years.

Prince Charles: A Royal, Idiot

I haven't been shy about praising the valor of his youngest son, Prince Harry. Prince Charles, however, has allowed himself to become a useful idiot for environmentalist propagandists, claiming that we only have 18 months to stop GLOBAL WARMING!!!. Of course, he's ignoring the overwhelming scientific evidence that it is a hoax. He's also ignoring that fellow stooges have been saying that we're running out of time for decades, at least going back to the coming ice age of the 1970s.

Michael Moore to Make Fahrenheit Sequel

"They weren’t told the truth. We’re communicators and it’s up to us to start doing it now," said Moore. I don't think he's talking about his first movie. It's too bad, though, because it was chock full of lies.

Moore, the famous leftwing propagandist, is now more famous than Nazi Joseph Goebbels, who previously was the most famous propagandist in the world. As a refresher, here are some of the many lies in Moore's first effort. I assume he isn't going to correct any of them.

Here's an interesting statement by Moore: "I don’t know why we are making so much of an act of terror. It is three times more likely that you will be struck by lightning than die from an act of terror."

First of all, that's not true. According to the Center for Disease Control, over a 15 year period, between 1980 and 1995, only 1318 people died from lightning strikes. Aside from the fact that this is an outright lie, Moore's assertion is positively stupendous. Should we not hunt down murderers because people are a hundred or even a million times more likely to die of natural causes?

This is Moore's modus operandi, though. Most of his acolytes don't care if what he says is true. They want to believe what he says so they don't bother to check it out and lash out at people who present overwhelming evidence that Moore is a big, fat liar.

It's a genius idea, by the way, the Minutemen adopting the highway near a border crossing. The state of California, however, removed the Adopt a Highway sign after the Minutemen had adopted it, citing that it was a hazard because of possible disputes with illegal aliens and hispanics in general.

Use of Bisbee's Liberal Voting Record Unfair...WAAAHHH

I love it. Dave Bisbee is actually drawing attention to the fact that he's a liberal. He doesn't like that conservatives would point out that he's voted for more taxes than most democrats, opposed pro-life legislation, and opposed efforts to curb illegal immigration.

Maybe he should've thought of that before he raised our taxes. Maybe we think it's unfair that we all have higher taxes because he enabled democrats and other RINOs to raise our taxes and opposed efforts to curb illegal immigration.

He's really worried that voters might misinterpret his resolution to encourage congress to naturalize illegal aliens when they turn 18. How could we misinterpret that?
