Muslima Teacher Tweets 'Kill Some Jews'

Nancy Salem a Texas pre-school teacher has been suspended from her job at The Children's Courtyard for tweeting "kill some Jews." 

How sweet and what a wonderful influence she must have had on growing minds.

This was not the first time Salem was identified for expressing anti-Semitic and violent messages online. She is a member of the University of Texas, Arlington chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine and supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. The previous tweet was: "How many Jews died in the Holocaust? Not enough . . . HAHAHAHA."

You can easily see the connection to the Students for Justice in Palestine with anti-Semitism and their violent intentions.  They don't want justice, they want dead Jews and the end of Israel.

Since the last incident, Salem's Twitter account has been disabled, but she remains a twit.

Rick Santorum, a CNN commentator and former Congressman was asked by leftist overachiever Chris Cuomo about his thoughts on anti-Semitism in the U.S. and its connection to the anti-Israeli movement here.

"If you look at the people who are responsible for a lot of this anti-Semitism that we are seeing, I hate to say it [but] a lot of it is coming from the pro-Palestinian and Muslim community," Santorum answered honestly.

Quick to make nicey-nice to the Islamic world, a world where anti-Semitism is taught [like the Palestinian 'Mickey Mouse' who hates Jews, for example] Cuomo countered: "I don't know that that is a fact, by the way . . . you have white haters, who historically target the Jews."

Of course Cuomo is correct, but that doesn't mean that Santorum is wrong. Cuomo sounds like an apologist for Islamic Jew-hatred that starts with the first prayer in the Qur'an, the al-Fatiha. It also doesn't say wonderful things about Christians either.

Santorum, who probably should have gone over to Fox rather than the Commie News Network said, "That's not what's going on on college campuses, Chris."

Then Chris drooled onto his lap.

Huckabee and Santorum want to stump with Trump for vets

Now that Trump has opted out of tonight's debate and will go to Drake University to put on a show for veterans to raise money, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum have decided to join the Donald. 

Why not? If they can convince veterans that it's okay to be used as political pawns, then it's certainly a good move for them to use them as such. But being a veteran myself, I think it smells funny and I don't like it. You may disagree and I respect that.

Perhaps Huckabee and Santorum know they have as much chance at actually winning the presidential nomination as Hillary Clinton has of going an entire day without lying. Therefore, being with the front-runner might make them look like viable candidates.

And I don't dislike either Huckabee or Santorum--I actually do--but it sounds too much like politics and not enough about integrity. 

Huckabee put in a call to the Trump campaign and hasn't yet heard back--perhaps Donald is trying to make him sweat. "If they say that they would be happy to have me, I'll be there."

Santorum said that "After the debate, I'm not going to be doing anything, so, I guess, if it's a charitable thing for the troops and he invites other people to come, I certainly would attend to support the troops."

Santorum is also awaiting an invite from the campaign in charge.

It's unclear if Huckabee would forgo the debate if Trump told him to show up prior to it, but that's something we cannot know if he isn't invited to stump with Trump.

Fluke, Rev Al, Obamacare as an Oxymoron, and Kagan's Recusexcuse

Where is Sandra Fluke (pronounced Fluck)?  I haven't heard from her in the mainstream media lately? Maybe she's busy doing, well, you know. Maybe she is yesterday's news and is no longer useful to Obama's campaign. Wherever she is, I hope she brought along enough condoms or whatever she gets from the taxpayer for her birth control, to take care of her ongoing "situations."  I can easily understand how Ms. Fluke (pronounced Fluck) could be the poster girl for birth control.  Just saying.

As you know by now, Rick Santorum handily won Louisiana with 47% of the vote, against Romney's 26%.  I've said this before, but I'll say it again: Newt should drop out of the race to allow for a more open field and perhaps a better defining outcome for whoever the Republicans want to run against Obama. Ron Paul should just drop out for the sake of our nation's security.  I certainly hope he doesn't let his ego get the better of him by running as an independent in November--that would effect the election and not in a good way.  I hope if Romney becomes the nominee, he chooses Marco Rubio as his running mate for VP.  I believe that combination would beat the Marxist revolution.

Did you hear that Obama told the Russian president that after the election, he'll have more flexibility to do what he wants. Let's help him out by giving him the flexibility that an unemployed community organizer would have with his time.

Adjusting his lip gloss

How can Al-Not-Really-a-Reverend-Sharpton, a racist moron who works for PMSNBC, be fair and unbiased in his reporting, when this idiot is mucking the mud in a rally against Zimmerman, the alleged shooter? How can PMSNBC keep Sharpton on staff when KY Jellyhair is at the forefront of the rallies calling for Zimmerman's arrest?  And when Obama says that the victim would look like his son if he had one, is irresponsible and totally unfair to Zimmerman. I wonder what liberals think about this--there is no way they can honestly agree that this is okay on behalf of POTUS and Porkrind. Sharpton actually should be fired from PMSNBC because to call him a reporter or journalist gives reporters and journalists bad names.

A smile that can move stomachs

Obamacare has made it to the Supreme Court where Elena Kagan will obviously show her  bias when she finally votes on the Constitutionality of the bill.  She should have recused herself because of her involvement in the creation of Obamacare, but liberals play by liberal rules, which means she will take the liberty to do what she thinks will get her agenda passed.  There are protestors on both sides of the aisle singing obnoxious songs in front of the Supreme Court Building (admittedly, the liberal songs are the worst of the lot--irrelevant tripe about family, as if that has anything to do with the Constitutionality of a mandate forcing you to buy a product that is divorced from the concept of free will), and a decision should come around June.  


If you think the mandate is Constitutional, you might be a liberal.

Romney Beats Santorum, Paul Beats Gingrich, Gingrich Should Beat It

So Illinois has voted and Romney has won with a clear margin of victory over Santorum and Ron Paul is laughing it up because he doesn't care a fiddler's whatever if he wins anymore delegates because he isn't in it for the presidency--he's in it to send a message and that message is: even an old fart who gave up his medical practice to practice the art of politics can have his own roadies.

But Newt, that dear old genius with the silver tongue and sharp mind, should pack it in and ride off into the sunset. He's done, and he knows it, but his ego has taken over his reasoning and his anger with Mitt has become more important than his party, and I believe he's damaging the GOP's chances of beating Obama in November.  I hope I'm wrong.

The same can be said about Rick Santorum. He has the social conservative vote, but he doesn't have the fiscal conservative nor the independent vote and that bodes poorly for his chances against our divisive socialist leader. And he still looks like he's smelling something funny when he tries to smile.

Well, on Saturday it's on to Louisiana where Rick is slated to win, Paul is slated to be the Constitutional rock star that he is, Mitt is slated to run second, and Newt is slated to have the best darn "we're still going all the way" speech you've ever heard. And all the while this circus keeps playing on and on, Obama is thinking his chances of stealing a second term, a term where he can really go for socialist broke, is getting to be a foregone conclusion.

Peace out.

Super Tuesday: 2 Beers, 1 Blog

I'm watching Fox News this Super Tuesday and will report my thoughts on the results as time runs on, runs on. There are 419 delegates at stake tonight. 

Newt wins his home state of Georgia, Romney wins Virginia and Vermont, and Iran Paul supporters are still backing a loser anti-Semite isolationist.  The only proof I have of the latter is his old newsletter which, in fact, was anti-Semitic and racist, but Paul denied knowing anything about them and kept repeating the word 'Constitution.'  We should consider playing Word Bingo with Paul and see how often he refers to that word.  He seems to think that our other candidates disregard the Constitution, but never challenges Obama on his unconstitutional behavior.   

As I write this, Ohio's poles just closed and the night should be pretty interesting, except for Santorum's vest--he should definitely lose the vest--it just isn't presidential and image, unfortunately, is almost everything. Let's face it, Obama became president, so you know how true this is.  Ohio is going to be key to Super Tuesday, just like Eli Manning was key to Super Sunday.

A few quick facts about Ohio, while I await the numbers.  Did you know that cats originated in Ohio?  If you don't believe me, check under their tails and you will see an "O." Currently, Ohio has a somewhat lower percentage of unemployment as compared to the rest of the nation, at around 7.9%, but there are pockets of high unemployment and green jobs aren't changing that.  Final fact: Christopher Columbus did not discover the Ohio city named after him.

Paul is now speaking in Fargo, ND. If you've seen the movie by that name, you can picture him standing by the wood chipper with Steve Bucemi's feet sticking up from the loader as he keeps repeating to Bucemi's feet: "Constitution this, you bastard."

Mitt is leading in Ohio, but it' early. Santorum is breathing down his neck and Romney is complaining that Santorum's breath smells like a communion wafer, while Santorum is threatening to give Romney an atomic weggie but wouldn't want to offend his religious undergarment. Brit Hume almost fell asleep again on camera.

Break to real news and we see how our Republican candidates vow to kick Iranian butt if Iran gets a nuclear weapon. Iran Paul said that they said they promise to not do that and there is no reason not to believe them, he said. Shep Smith spoke with Ed Rollins and I realized how much Rollins looks like James Clapper, the guy who didn't have a clue about terrorists, terrorist, and Islam.


Brit Hume is back on and Juan Williams responded to him, sounding like he just arrived after cutting special class. Brit thinks the non-Romney vote that went to Iran Paul, is basically a protest vote.  Juan Williams just discovered why the French invented the cuff buttons on suit jackets--the French wives put them there to keep their husbands from wiping their nose on their sleeve.


This beer is really good--a Canadian brew.  


Ohio is still too close to call, but Rick S. won Oklahoma, and Calista Gingrich is now speaking before Newt goes up to the podium. She says their only opponent is Obama. Santorum also won Tennessee, which bodes well for him.

Newt is up at bat.  The crowd is chanting his name over and over. He thanks the crowd and denounces the national elite for trying to dictate the race.  "Wall Street money can be beaten by mainstream work," he says, and the crowd loves it.   He continues to pound the media, as he does so well. He is willing to allow Obama a teleprompter if he gets the chance for a Lincoln-Douglas  debate.  He says Obama's speeches are "so deliciously incoherent. " He is so right.


Rick is in Ohio and will be speaking too--he i in Steubenville, Ohio, in a gymnasium, probably in a vest again.  Ed Rollins thinks if Rick wins Ohio, he's going to make a huge advance and might even get a few bucks out of the deal from his supporters. Steve Hayes and Brit Hume both thought Newt's speech was too long. Hume thought it was the longest speech ever given by a candidate who was significantly behind in the race. Ed Rollins, aka James Clapper, thought Newt's speech wasn't very inspirational.

Rick is wearing a suit with a solid blue tie. He is bragging about how candidates normally don't come to Steubenville, Ohio, and seems psyched. He introduced his 93 year old mom, and the rest of his family.  He is appealing to the small town crowd that, he says, has made the USA a great country.  I am worried that he might get the nomination and lose to Barry in November. I chuckle whenever Rick strains his words to sound sincere-I believe he is totally sincere, but I wish he'd sound like it. I like Rick Santorum--he's better than ten Obamas, and I like Newt, who I totally believe can beat Obama mano a mano, but Mitt is probably going to win the nomination, and if he does, I fully support him. If Iran Paul wins, I may change my name to Ahmed and just try to blend in.


I wonder if Iran Paul is going to speak. I wonder how many times he uses the word 'Constitution.' I wonder why he left medicine.

Mitt's wife introduced him and the crowd actually sounded enthusiastic--she spoke too long, I believe, but that's just me. Mitt sounded presidential as he spoke about the care that veterans deserve and how he wants to keep government out of the workplace--I hope he's serious. At least he doesn't have an Obamaprompter--I mean teleprompter. His focus was on the economy and jobs and I think it's good that he's staying on point. I like that he's attacking Obama on how he would be unrestrained if he got four more years, because he wouldn't need to worry about reelection.  I agree with him--another four years of Obama would be an Obamination.

Romney Takes Michigan and Arizona

 Santorum had his shot tonight but he blew it.  You don't badmouth JFK's stance on church and state, and although he tried to walk it back by mentioning his wife and daughter and their independence,  you don't minimize the role of women in our society and expect to win.  While Romney only won by 3 points, he nevertheless won and Santorum didn't, but he made Romney spend money like a drunken sailor on liberty.

Charles Krauthammer, on FoxNews, said that the Republican brand has been damaged by this GOP nomination process, and I fully agree with him.  Republicans have been beating the crap out of each other while Obama plays more golf and laughs at them--they're doing his job and since he doesn't like to work, why start now?

Paul discloses secret Mason handshake

I'm just a bit surprised that lran Paul beat Newt.  Paul is like a broken record when it comes to what he would do--nothing, because the Constitution told him so.  Of course that isn't true--it's very clear that the role of government is to protect its citizens and Iran is a country we need to carefully consider when it comes to the possibility of war, and Paul wants a totally "hands off" isolationist policy in spite of the clear probability that they are going nuclear. I keep flashing on Paul chuckling while a mushroom cloud forms on the horizon.  We cannot afford to be wrong on Iran.

Well, my fire has died out and that is a good time to end this piece.  Let's pray the GOP wins in November, especially the Senate, which I actually think we will--big time.

Tomorrow's a Day Away

(Sung to the tune of "Tomorrow" from Annie--sort of) 

The voters will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar, that tomorrow, there'll be votes.  Just thinking about tomorrow clears away the liberals and the sorrow of Obama. Hope he's gone. When I vote on a day that's gray, and lonely, I just stick out my chin, and grin, and say, Oh bama, Oh bama don't want ya, don't need ya, I'll see ya, you're only an election aaaaaawwwaaaayyy.


The liberals won't be here tomorrow, with Oh bama; so ya gotta stick out your chin, and grin, come what may. Oh bama, Oh bama don't like ya, don't like Marx, nor Soros, nor tent parks, so you've got to goooooooo aaaaawwwwaaaaaayyyy!


With Florida in just a few hours, we have a serious decisive situation where the voters will speak louder than they have up to this point in the nomination process.  Mitt is heavily favored to win, followed by Newt, then Rick, then some guy in a bad suit.  This is a winner take all state for the delegates and it will likely help Mitt a lot. But don't count out Newt--he can surprise you if, say, he punches out Chris Matthews on National TV.  That alone should win him the full nomination but somehow I suspect the leftist media will merely see it as workplace violence, like they and the President saw the Fort Hood shooting.  Of course, Keith Olbermann will go into hiding if this happened to Matthews. Liberals should eat Purina cat food.

Anyway, I ask your forgiveness for botching up the song, "Tomorrow" and hope you see it in your heart to continue reading my blog, subscribing to it, and bouncing around on the advertisements without necessarily buying anything to help support capitalism and my food habit.


Remember too, that a vote for Newt is a vote for a 51st state on the moon, and a vote for Mitt is a vote for Romneycare. A vote for Rick is a vote for goodness and family values while a vote for Ron is just plain suicide.  This is my opinion and just because it is, doesn't make me correct.

Can't We All Just Get Along

The GOP debates see to have gotten better and better since they began 869 debates ago, or so it seems. The candidates have gone at each other and have scored some good points on the issues facing the nation.  Some, like Pawlenty, Perry and Bachmann have dropped out of the battle when it looked obvious that this was not going to be their time, and some, like Ron Paul, have hung on, if only to make a point.  

What seems to be missing, however, is that the contenders have not sufficiently gone after Obama, and now are going after each other with a vengeance.  I'm speaking primarily of Newt and Mitt, although Rick and Ron are not completely innocent of attacking those in their own party.  The question now is, will these attacks turn off those independent voters who might not have voted for King Obama?  

Newt is being labeled a nonconservative, but that certainly isn't true.  There were times in the Reagan administration where Newt actually was further to the right than Reagan.  Mitt's campaign is accusing him of a gross ethics violation and stating that he left office in disgrace-this is overstated.

Mitt is being labeled as a rich moderate, and a flip-flopper; in part, this is true, but there's no doubt that for now, he has the best chance of beating Obama, but this is always subject to change.  Moreover, what is wrong with being successful and making money? That's called capitalism, and just because the word was invented by that unwashed lazy bum Marx, doesn't make it bad--it makes it good.  Yes, capitalism is good.

  Rick said that Mitt's healthcare program is very similar to Obamacare, which Mitt denies, but Rick zinged him in the last debate and made him look bad because the truth is, Mitt's program is like Obamacare and is basically mandatory, which he denied.

Conducting Israel Philharmonic--just kidding

Ron didn't really go into specifics in the debate, probably because he's more focused on ideals than issues, and didn't seem to have much knowledge about foreign issues that go beyond his isolationist program, but his followers love him--if he wore a tutu and danced the Makarina his followers would still love him.

But these guys are hurting the chances of a Republican occupying the White House come 2013. They should tone their attacks way down and focus on Obama's lack of leadership, distorted American vision, failure to make good on real promises, the ruined economy, his military cuts in spite of his accolades of the military to make himself look good, his failure to support our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel, and being Islam's lapdog.  Instead, Mitt has spent millions in Florida ads to attack Newt, while Newt has spent something like a buck fifty and made public appearances to do the same, and Rick is home with his sick daughter and we wish her well.  Ron, whose supporters haven't done much for him financially because they're the Republican version of Occupy Something or Other, has forgone Florida and instead is counting on his message to get him through the night.  

Meanwhile, during these attacks, Obama is pretending to be as great a president as Abraham Lincoln and as inspiring a leader as Mohammad.  His approval rating has gone up because people who still like him have the attention span of sponge, and independents have the memory of brook trout.  But Republican candidates better get their scnapps together or they stand to lose more than just the presidency.


Tuesday is probably going to be the telling point in the nomination process.  I suspect Mitt is going to pull it off, if we can believe the polls, but you never know.  The one thing I have said, and will continue to say, is that I hope Ron Paul does not choose to run as an independent because that will kill our chances to rout Obama and the country will be going down the red brick road to socialism.

The Certainly Not News (CNN) Debate

I'm not a real journalist, I'm a liberal

I am waiting patiently for the 987th GOP debate in South Carolina being brought to us by CNN, a make-believe, unbiased news media that will likely ask liberal leaning questions to further the Obama socialist agenda. How paranoid do I sound, eh? Unfortunately, I believe it's true that Obama wants tis country to go socialist.

This is what a racist looks like

Rick Perry has dropped out and Newt goes into the debate with Perry's endorsement, which I don't believe is going to have an enormous effect, but it might give him a little push.  On the other hand, we heard Newt's second wife, Marianne, speak negatively about him and say that he wanted an "open marriage."  How tawdry of her to come out with this dirt now--how small and unnecessary for her to try to do what she can to destroy his chances in the race.  Newt's daughters are upset with their mother coming forward with this gossip, and interestingly, Marianne was involved with Newt while he was still married to his first wife, whose name he cannot remember. This is the kind of behavior we see from those people who can only pretend to love our nation, because if they truly did, they wouldn't try to effect the outcome of an election, but would allow the system to do the job.  Of course the mainstream media must have been salivating to hear her talk about her ex-husband.  Anything that makes Republicans look bad is what the media wants--this is why they love Ron Paul--he makes Republicans look crazy.

I just went to Twitter where someone posted that Newt's daughters claim Marianne Gingrich was never told by him that he wanted an open marriage--that means she lied, but we don't know whether or not she did.  


So here we go with the debate: John King is the emcee. The music plays, a horsedrawn carriage moves across the screen, and the drama begins.  Oh wait, it's a debate--there is no drama.


The announcer sounds like he just finished a can of testosterone and the battle begins.  They recited the Pledge of Allegiance, but didn't show it, because it might offend the left. They sang the National Anthem and you can tell the crowd is Republican because they actually sang along. 


Ron Paul looks like he needs a chair. 

King asks Newt about his ex-wife's claims.  Newt blew King's doors off.  To ask this as a first question, is despicable, to use Newt's words.  The news media just proved again, how much they suck.  Newt for President! John King should be humiliated; he should be ashamed of himself.  He should quit this line of work and pump gas. The rest of the group just told King to piss off by not falling into King's scenario. Paul went last, giggled and mentioned the corporations that run the media as the problem. I cannot believe how angry I am at how much John King sucks.

As always, the CNN is trying to pit the candidates each other, particularly against Mitt.  Mitt spoke about Obama's crony capitalism and was specific about the way he has favored cerrtain people.  Bain specifically was mentioned by King but the debate went into the issue of capitalism--a term invented by Karl Marx, by the way.  The didn't entertain him with interparty venom.

An Obamacare question to Mitt.  My thought--if Obamacare is so great, why is it considered a favor by Obama, to allow organizations to opt out?  Mitt wants to replace it and allow people to own their insurance and treat it like a competitive business. Santorum just attacked Mitt, and brought the negatives back into the room--I think it's a mistake on his part and I think it's going to hurt him. "Footsies with the left," is what he accused Mitt and Newt of doing back in the 1990's.  I don't think it was wise of him.

Finally, I noticed that CNN did not ask one question about foreign policy.  If John King would ask one, it would expose Ron Paul as being left of Obama and that would screw up CNN's agenda in which they want to promote Paul to keep the GOP divided.  I don't know why the GOP even agrees to appear on their programs for these debates.

The Last 2011 GOP Debate on Fox

So, who won last night's GOP campaign debate on Fox? In my opinion, it was definitely Newt, and it was absolutely necessary for his campaign that he did win in Iowa because he had lost 12 points from the previous one. His responses on the Keystone pipeline, defense and what he said about judges, was excellent. Not so excellent was how he responded to Michele Bachmann's attack on the money Newt received from Fannie and Freddiem where he kept claiming he wasn't a lobbyist. Sorry, but anyone with anything beyond a medulla knows he had to be getting Republican support for those programs. Otherwise, Newt kicked butt. Interestingly, the New York Times did not even mention Fox News, nor any on the panel--they remain the Democratic campaign information center.

With Cain gone, Ron Paul picked up lots of numbers and went into Iowa as the great Democratic hope--the dems know that if Paul runs, Obama wins--but after last night, the American public should have come to its senses with Paul's delusions that 9-11 and terrorist attacks in the United States is due to the fact that we are in their country and this pisses them off. This, of course, discounts the Islamic concept of jihad, the clear statement of Ahmadinejad that he will destroy us, Israel, and anyone else who plans to eat at a kosher deli. It discounts the Beirut bombing, the shores of Tripoli, and even what Mohammad has said of us infidels. Paul is not a fool--Paul is a dangerous fool. Worse, he's even anti-Semitic with the pretense of cutting off aid to them for their own good. That's like putting a cigarette out on the carpet to make it stronger. So hopefully, Paul is in the toilet where he can do no harm as he spins down into the oblivion of where Chamberlain dwells.


Mitt was okay, especially on his defense of his governor stint in Massachusetts, and I do not believe he hurt himself and will stay around the 20s in the race. Michele Bachmann, I feel, attacked Newt a little more than necessary, but she drew blood at the Fannie Freddie attack. Does that help or hurt her? We shall find out.


Rick Perry has become more proficient as a debater, but is too stuck on his talking points, and needs to get out of Dodge, literally--he needs to get beyond Texas if he plans to run the rest of the country.

Rick Santorum looked as if the Alka Seltzer is working. There was no uncomfortable gassy look on his face, and his record as a conservative rings true, as Michele's does too. 


Finally, my last word on Newt was his high point, which came when he mentioned that he would kick Obama's butt in a debate.  If he refused to debate with Newt, he would do what Lincoln did to Douglas and follow his schedule, show up 4 hours behind Obama, and rip his speeches apart. Everyone knows debating is Newt's strength, so this was the perfect response. But let's not forget that Obama is no slouch when it comes to talking--that's all he does, and nobody says nothing better than him. It's going to be an interesting ride in the months ahead.

My Fox Debate Predictions for Dec. 14, 2011

Pre-Cain MSM Scandal

I'm not a political analyst--but I was a psychoanalyst in my earlier life, and I believe knowing something about human nature can be somewhat helpful in predicting tonight's debate on Fox News. My predictions are a bit unconventional for me, because I believe the person I saw as the brightest guy in the room, is going to flub it tonight. Of course I'm speaking about the New Newt.

Newt is, without a doubt, the master debater compared to the rest of the crew. He is quick with his answers, glib with his expressions, and humble about his past. But his main problem is that ego of his. He attacked Mitt about his work in the private sector, because Mitt attacked him with his work Fannie and Freddie and la chambre a coucher. Newt did not allow his brain to engage his tongue before responding, and that seems typical of people with big egos.

But I like much of what the Newtster says, and I really like the way he says it. His ideas on immigration seem rational, and his thougths about Palestine being invented history is true; but Mitt is more thoughtful in his approach to the Palestinian-Israeli problem than Newt, while Newt is more sincere. For me, this is the biggest problem America and the free world faces regarding security and the Islamic problem the religion of peace poses. 

Getting back to immigration--there is no rational way we can elect a president who wants to deport all illegal aliens. I'm a law and order guy, I even watch it on TV, but any candidate taking that stand will lose the independent vote and Obama will continue his reign as socialist POTUS. Ron Paul's idea of not allowing them benefits or jobs and thus forcing them to leave, sounds like a plan, but Paul strikes me as a person who left his work at medicine because he couldn't stand people being helped. He takes that stance on Israel and pretends he's doing them a favor by allowing them to remain independent--he just leaves out the part about also being vulnerable to the surrounding Muslim nations that want death to the Jews, and an end to Israel. Paul is as anti-Zionist as they come.


Michelle Backmann is a true conservative, but she's a one-issue candidate and that isn't enough. Her stance on health care and repeal of Obaminationcare is right on the money, and she actually knows a thing or two about foreign affairs, while never having one in her past, but she doesn't stand up to the electability test. She will probably remain at the low end of the totem pole tonight.


Ron Huntsman is an arrogant RINO who is gracing the podium with his revered presence. Independents may like him but true conservatives see him as a liberal with an attitude. His knowledge of Mandarin, however, will get him good service at Fong Chow's, but I'm afraid that if he was nominated, we would have the same fiscal problems that Obama has ameliorated with his socialist policies and Russian czar appointees. Personally, I'd like to see Rick Santorum punch Huntsman in the kisser.


And speaking of Rick's, Perry should pull the plug, get back on his horse, and ride out into the sunset. Yes, he's making tons of expensive commercials and may have influenced the conservative Christian vote, but as a debater, he sucks, and just because he admits that he sucks, is not a good reason to give him a free pass. A good candidate must be a good debater. Mitt was excellent in the last debate, and Newt was kind of vanilla. But tonight's debate will be the big one, I think. Tonight's debate will tell us who should go forward, and in part, who should step away and hang up their guns.

"Number one . . . uh, um . . ."

I'll be blogging my thoughts tomorrow about the debate. I'd be grateful for your feedback and criticism--but remember, this is a family blog, so watch the expletives, please.

ABC or Anything But Conservative Debate of GOP Candidates Hoping to Make Obama Unemployed

Last night's debate on ABC was missing something but I can't remember what--wait--Jon Huntsman was missing, that's what. Wherever Jon was, galivanting around with his "I know better than anyone" smirk, he was not missed by the debaters, and was not mentioned by George "I-Kissed-Bill's-Bellybutton-Ring-Stephanoploulis nor by Diane-My-Throat-Needs-a-Lozenge-Sawyer. But in spite of Huntsman's absence, the debate still had a somewhat sucky feeling.

In referencing that sucky feeling, I refer to how Stephano (as his friend calls him) tried to get the others on the podiums to attack Newt-I-Did-Have-Sex-With-Those-Women-Gingrich.  It didn't work out as planned, since Mitt-I-Never-Farted-in-my-Life-Romney decided to attack Barack-Hope-and-Change-LOL-Obama instead. Mitt was wonderful and presidential, and for the first time in my adult life, I was proud of my Mormon.

The first question of the debate was from Sawyer, who asked: What is your distinguishing idea on how to create jobs, how long would it take, and specifically, how many jobs would your plan create, rounding up to the nearest hundred? Okay, that wasn't exactly how she asked it, but wanting to have an actual number was stupid, which only goes to prove my personal hypothesis: Diane Sawyer is stupid. 

This was the first debate since Newt's numbers surpassed the rest of the field and he answered Diane Sawyer's question first, discussing how lowering taxes and doing everything opposite to what Obama has been doing, would create jobs. He received a sitting ovation from Calista and several others in the audience at Drake University, and I like that he listened to his grandkids and actually smiled.  Mitt then got the Sawyer nod and he explained how we need to go after China like bulls in some kind of shop, which I can't recall. He was very presidential and controlled, and I liked his hair. Ron-Israel-Can-Take-a-Hike-Paul went next, making one syllable words into polysyllable words, and he talked about TARP, the US Constitution, and how he nearly froze his testicles off when speaking to Fox News the previous morning in Iowa. Well, he didn't actually talk about it, but I saw it myself when he was being interviewed. Rick-All-My-Taxes-Come-From-Texas Perry discussed his flat tax, and to be honest, he sounded like he finally got over his case of Alzheimer's. Michelle-I-Am-Conservative-Hear-Me-Pray-Bachmann's plan was to ensure that every American pay something in tax, and the 47% who pay nothing, can start shelling out too. I imagine she will lose about 47% of those independent voters who qualify for her plan. Finally, Rick-It-Hurts-When-I-Laugh-Santorum emphasized how increasing manufacturing, where "Made in the USA" takes a front seat in the roller coaster of American business, is most important, in spite of the fact that it's the last seat in the roller coaster that's the most fun.

Of course the panel could not keep themselves from asking the most important question of the debate: So how important is this fidelity thingy regarding one's qualifications for the Presidency of the United States of America? Like, is it okay to be unfaithful, have multiple marriages, and simultaneously be courting Donald Trump?


To his credit, Mitt didn't take the bait, and I believe that he was the big winner--and George Stephanopoulis was a master baiter.

Debate Stardate 39583.4614

If you think Ron Paul made good points in last night's CNN debate about our national security, you might be a liberal, or if not a liberal, a Libertarian, or you might be an Idiot. I don't mean to sound redundant, but if you don't see the current danger with Iran's nuclear proliferation, you just might have serious denial problems. 

Overall, I think CNN (which is an acronym for "Certainly Not News") did a good job. Wolf Blitzer, who cannot speak an entire sentence without pausing for a breath, was reasonably good as a moderator--he didn't get anal about time, and unlike CBS, NBC, or ABC, he didn't ambush the debators. So I give CNN kudos for this one--I hope that this becomes a trend, but I doubt it.

One can understand why CNN allowed Ron Paul to speak on security issues for as long as they did.  Paul is the GOP foil to common sense when discussing security issues. Ron Paul believes that we have no right to intervene in the nuclear exploits of Iran, or any other nation for that matter, even when those exploits have been clearly undertaken to destroy Israel and eventually the United States. Paul says the Patriot Act goes against our civil liberties, in spite of the fact that Newt made the clear distinction between those Americans who are tried for criminal acts, versus terrorists who are at war with America. After hearing Paul's pacifistic arguments, it became clear that his ideas are good on paper, but not in the real world; not in a world where Islamic nations see Western nations as infidels who must be converted or killed in the name of Allah. 

The Constitution will be useless if there are no Americans to enjoy its tenets, and if we allow Iran to continue on its present course, that is exactly what will happen--Iran said so and I see no reason to not believe them. They want the Jews and Christians dead because their 'holy book' calls for death to the infidels.

Did Jon Huntsman impress you in this debate? He impressed me, mostly as an arrogant liberal RINO. Like Obama, Huntsman says nothing better than anyone else. He almost never answers the actual questions he is asked.  On Greta Susteren, Martha MacCallum, (who was filling in for Greta), asked him how he felt  about those who are campaigning that have little or no experience (read Herman Cain), with foreign affairs. In answer to the question, Huntsman spoke about the glory of America and yadda yadda, and hit his talking points like the martian he appears to be. Even Martha tried to get him to focus on her question, but Huntsman, ever the politician, skirted it with the adroitness of a ballerina.Thus, one can be certain that a vote for Huntsman is a vote for something, I suppose, but maybe not.

The only problem Newt had in the debate was with his response about immigration. He seems to have softened on the idea of deporting illegal aliens, and his reasoning, while rational, will not bode well for him in Iowa where they are tough on those who enter our country illegally. Newt was being humane but sounded too liberal to those on the right who are fed up with having their tax money go to programs sponsoring these people. I think Newt was trying to appeal to the greater majority and to the notion that deporting millions of illegal aliens isn't practical, and this is the only area where I generally agree with Ron Paul., who feels that if you take away all of their benefits and employment opportunities, they will leave on their own. Call it the Field of Dream Acts gone home.  But everything else about Paul rubs me the wrong way--even the way he stands at the podium, like a boy who just had his lunch money taken from him by Rick Perry. He definitely has his fans in the audience-and by fans, I mean fanatics--they cheer on his every word like he was a rock star. For me, I suspect there's a reason he's no longer practicing medicine, and that is probably a good thing to those who might have used him as a physician.


Herman Cain sounded like someone who was briefed about foreign policy but cut the class a little too early in the semester. He appeared to run out of knowledge too quickly, and tended to repeat himself on issues. You can't cram for president, I believe. But Herman remains likeable and this is more important to those of us who know little about current events and more about lunch and recess. Pizza for lunch is always welcome.


Mitt was, well, Mitt. His answers were relevant and conservative, although he has conservatives worried that if elected, he might teeter to the left.  I like that he is clear in his stand on seeing Israel as an ally, and how we cannot be friends with our foes and foes with our friends. I appreciate how Mitt seems clear about going against the current presidential policy of being a jerk to Israel and buddies to Islamic theocracies that oppress everything from women to gays. Well, they don't actually oppress gays, they just kill them. He is also quite clear about intervening with Iran if they get a nuclear weapon.


Rick Santorum always sounds okay but looks like Dudley Dooright with intestinal cramps. He always seems to strain with every question and labor with every response. He will never get elected and neither will Jon Huntsman, who, I might add, speaks Chinese (how inscrutable).

So, who won the debate? Who knows?  It's up to the majority of us who saw it. For me, I like Newt, and I don't care that he has a sordid past. A president isn't a Sunday School teacher, although you wouldn't know that if you came from Mars, like Huntsman. I also like Bachmann because she knows a thing or two about defense, spending for defense, and the purpose for our foreign aid to Pakistan and others. I don't fully disagree with Perry who would cut all money to Pakistan, because we do use them for intelligence to some degree. But giving foreign aid to China and Russia is unconscienable, and probably something Ron Paul would do out of the kindness of his heart .  .  .  if he only had a brain.
