The Great Leader has spoken !

Last night, I took the time to watch

the State of The Union address, that

The Great Leader, President Obama

gave to Congress.

`

It's been analyzed almost everywhere today, except at the liberal blogs -

`

First, I was correct. He blamed his failures on President Bush. I don't think that'll fly anymore, since he's had total-control of Washington for a year. He blamed the GOP for being the party of 'No' even though he knows that the GOP had good alternate plans that never made it out of committee, voted down on party-line votes.

`

Second, I've never seen a President get laughed at before, which happened twice last night, when he mentioned global warming, and when he said the budget freeze would hit next year, not this one.

`

And who wrote this speech? He brought up equal pay for women - a non-issue since the 70's. Did they have to re-write this speech at the last minute?

`

Third, there was no energy there, nothing like when he was campaigning. Of course, many of those speeches were artificially filled with 'actors' to whip up enthusiasm. Remember the shills carefully placed in the crowds to 'faint' on cue?

`

He was angry. Angry at us, the voters, for not supporting his spending, and his Health Care Takeover bill. When he said "I will not quit" it was a threat. Much of his speech sounded like a lecture.

`

He addressed the Democrats there, who want to be re-elected, by telling them

"Do not run for the hills" (Which the smart ones are doing - running away from Obama - fast)

`

To sum it up, he didn't follow the example of President Clinton, and change his course. He firmly believes that we, the taxpayers, are idiots, who don't know what's best for us. But he does. He is going to continue over the cliff, and I guess he figures that we'll get it eventually.

`

Worst SOTUS ever?

The Great Leader to address Congress tonight

Tonight - at 7:00 Montana Time

`

The first State of the Union address

is to be read off a teleprompter, by

The Great Leader, The Messiah,

The Protector of the Poor,

President Barack Hussein Obama.

`

He's going to explain a few things

to us.

`

He will explain that even though

2,200,000 jobs have been lost

since his inaguration, that his spending

(stimulus) bill saved or created

100,000 jobs.

`

This isn't the speech he planned on giving.

`

He was planning to talk about closing Guantanamo, and how unemployment was below 8%, and how he got the Olympics for Chicago, and how the voters went Democratic in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. He was also going to tell us about his great accomplishment signing universal health insurance for all.

`

The problem is that none of these things happened.

`

He got jap-slapped by the International Olympic Committee, sent back to Chicago embarrassed, and every time he campaigned for a fellow Democrat, that candidate was defeated.

`

He promise to have an open debate about health care, on C-SPAN, then had his minions write up a bill so complicated that nobody knew what was in it, and bought off votes in backroom deals, in the dead of night. And if you weren't an insider, you didn't get to participate.

`

His first year has been an absolute disaster, in economic terms, and politically for the Dems.

`

He will tell us that he is going to freeze government spending, at current levels, which he only increased 24% since taking office.

`

He is going to tell you that he is now concerned about unemployment.

`

He is going to say all our problems are President Bush's fault, not his.

`

He may talk about his 'historic' election again, or about his father, a

goat-herder from Kenya. He may remind you that by electing him

you are absolved for your sin of being white, after all, the Dems love

to play the race card in politics.

`

So I hope you can tune in.

`

He will uplift your spirits. Have faith in The Great Leader!

Obama suspects that he made a mistake

From the POLITICO:

`

President Obama: Lack of transparency

a 'mistake'

`

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31990.html

`

Gee, you think?

`

Obviously President Obama read this blog, and is seeing his mistakes - LOL

`

That, or his face is still hurts from getting jap-slapped in Massachusetts.

`

Either way, it's a start.

Civil War

Since Tuesdays Massachusetts election

results, where the late ted Kennedy's seat

was won by Republican Scott Brown,

there has been a growing fury within

the Democratic Party.

`

Too bad for them, but it'll be good for America.

`

Here's the basic divide;

`

You've got The Great Leader, President Obama, desperate to accomplish something, even if it's flawed.

`

And you've got the far-left in the Democratic Party, who were giddy at the thought of having power, who want to get their liberal agenda underway, NOW. This is a 'perfect storm' for them controlling both the White House, and Congress.

`

But self-preservation is a powerful instinct, and Tuesdays election results have scared the hell out of the Democrat politicians in Washington. They want to run for cover, and they are looking for a way to salvage their jobs with the folks back home.

`

So what's the problem? Left-wing activists, money-givers, and fund raisers do not take defections lightly. They think that Martha Coakley was voted down because she wasn't radical enough. They are like the mafia - you take their money, there's no getting away from them.

`

Woe to them who leave the happy family. You'll be like 'The Man without a Country'. Forget the nice committee assignments.

`

The Dems are being led over a cliff, so to speak, politically. And a large portion of the Dems know it.

`

Look at our own Senator, Jon Tester. He votes however Harry Reid tells him to, knowing it's not popular with the voters. He didn't even have the guts to hold any town-hall meetings. He knew what the people would say to him about the health care bill. So what will he do? Follow Reid over the cliff, or defect?

`

Since I've never seen any real leadership, or initiative from him, even when he was in the Montana State Legislature, I think he goes over the cliff.

`

And don't expect defecting Democrats to go gentle into the night - they might switch parties, or become Joe Liebermans. And the GOP will take them, with open arms in public, and in private they'll explain to them that the GOP DOES keep it's caucus together.

`

Civil War.

`

You read it here first.

Performance Review for President Obama

Well, today is the

one-year-anniversary

of the inaguration of The

Great Leader, The Messiah,

The Protector of the Poor,

Barack Obama.

`

Since he is my (and your) employee, it's time for him to get a performance review.

Ex = excellent

G = good

S = satisfactory

NI = needs improvement

`

(1) Economic Policy - NI

`

Unemployent is at a best 10%, and at worst 18%, depending on who you listen to.

When you pushed through your stimulus (spending) bill, you told us that unemployment would hit 8% if it wasn't passed. It has been revealed that the stimulus failed, in that not a single job was saved or created. You bailed out GM and Chrysler, shafting the stockholders, and warned us that if they were allowed to go bankrupt that it would be economic catastrophe. GM went bankrupt anyway, the billions of dollars are gone, and they are still losing money.

`

(2) National Security - NI

`

There were no terror attacks inside America from 9/11 until you were elected. Then we had a crazed muslim soldier go on a shooting spree, and attempted airline bombings. The sight of you seems to encourage the extremists. When your hand-picked General asked for more troops, you had to stall him, and talk to the politicians for months before even meeting with him.

`

(3) Foreign Policy - S

`

You are trying to get along with the world, and that earns you an S. Of course, the nations of the world still haven't changed any policy because of their great love for you, but there's still the chance.

`

(4) Political Skill - NI

`

You were elected on the promise of Hope & Change. Politifact http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/ has been keeping track of promises - and the record isn't good.

`

(5) Administration - NI

`

You have turned much of America over to 'Czars' who have tended to be inexperienced, corrupt, or ultra-liberal. You appoint a new General to fight the war in Afghanistan, then never meet with him, until the story broke on the news. (See National Security)`

I think this review has gone far enough, don't you?

`

Just one NI means you fail the overall review.

`

I saw you on TV giving yourself a B+

`

In what world are you living in - Neverland?

James Knox - HD47

I just got around to checking out

James Knox's website -

`

He's running for HD47 this fall.

`

In case you don't know James,

here's the link;

`

http://www.vote4knox.com/index.php

`

James has some qualities I like.

`

He's Conservative, energetic, and

committed.

`

He ran for the City Council, and

he learned some lessons there, and

this seems a natural step for him.

`

I personally couldn't/wouldn't want to go to Helena every other year to serve in our citizen legislature, at least not at this point in my life, but I respect those that do.

`

You won't see endorsements for James coming from the GAZETTE editorial board - he's not liberal enough.

`

When he ran for City Council, the endorsement for his opponent was ready to print before he was even interviewed.

`

Go check him out - he'll be a good one.

Jon Tester - listen up

Senator Tester, I don't like your

politics, and I doubt if you like mine.

`

I have something I'd like you to do.

`

Please keep supporting President Obama, and continue to vote however Harry Reid tells you.

`

Please support President Obama's Health Care Bill.

`

Please support Cap & Trade.

`

Why? Because I want you to have to face the voters in Montana, so we can toss you out on your ear.

`

You saw what just happened in Massachusetts, and it'll be here soon enough.

President Obama jap-slapped in Massachusetts

70% of the vote in, and in the Massachusetts

Senate race, Republican Scott Brown is leading

Martha Coakley 53% - 46%

`

This was supposed to be a sure-thing for the

Democrats, after all, this was TED KENNEDYS

seat, the now-deceased liberal lion of the

Senate.

`

Even The Great Leader himself, President Obama made 5 campaign stops in the State this last weekend. And not to toot my own horn too much, I thought that the race was too close to call, but as soon as I heard that The Great Leader was going there I called the race for Brown.

`

President Obama has been slapped so much, that he's probably going to have a permanent twitch.

`

He went to secure the Olympics for Chicago, was soundly rejected.

`

He campaigned for Corzine and Deeds in Governors races, in liberal States, and both of them lost.

`

Why? The voters must be RACIST! Why else would the voters reject such a smart, light-skinned man, with no negro dialect... (thank you Harry Reid for the quote)

`

I'll tell you why.

`

(1) The general public doesn't like the idea of President Obama, and his Democratic Congress ramming unpopular legislation through on party-line votes.

`

(2) People do not like the run-away spending of the Obama era.

`

(3) People do not like his dishonesty. No lobbyists ? Health Care talks on C-SPAN ? All promised by the Great Leader.

`

So, let's see if the Democrats learn something from this resounding loss, which will be amplified many times over this fall, and in 2012.

`

I only hope, and pray, that our Senator Jon Tester keeps following the marching orders of Harry Reid, and keeps voting against our wishes.

`

'One Term Tester' has a nice ring to it !

1/18/2010 Martin Luther King Day

Michael King a.k.a. Martin Luther King
(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)



No mail today, and most State / Federal employees have a paid day off.

Everybody knows that MLK was a clergyman, who spoke for and promoted civil rights for blacks, and said that men should be judged by their actions, instead of the color of their skin.

But did you know;

That his name was Michael King? The name Martin Luther seemed more powerful than Michael, so he started using it, and it was never his legal name.

That while working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who had done research on a subject similar to King's. As a academic committee later found that over half of King's work was plagiarized, yet would not revoke his doctrine. King was dead by this time, and the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. It was also discovered that King's famous I HAVE A DREAM speech was also not totaly his own. He patterned it from a sermon by Archibald Carey,a popular black preacher in the 1950's.


That the Kennedy administration ordered FBI surveilance of MLK because of his communist ties? And that in the course of surveillance it was discovered that MLK was using church money to hire prostitutes? Not once, but many times. Evidence proves that King had numerous affairs with various women plus numerous one night stands with prostitutes; two black columnists reveal that FBI tapes support the charge that King was bisexual having been heard during a sex orgy with his “best friend” Ralph Abernathy. King was also caught running naked after a woman down a Norway hotel hallway during his trip to accept the Nobel Peace Prize!

According to Assistant Director Sullivan, who had direct access to the surveillance files on King which are denied the American people, King had embezzled or misapplied substantial amounts of money contributed to the "civil rights" movement. King used SCLC funds to pay for liquor, and numerous prostitutes both Black and White, who were brought to his hotel rooms, often two at a time, for drunken sex parties which sometimes lasted for several days. These types of activities were the norm for King's speaking and organizing tours.In fact, an outfit called The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, which is putting on display the two bedrooms from the Lorraine Motel where King stayed the night before he was shot, has declined to depict in any way the "occupants - -of those rooms. That "according to exhibit designer Gerard Eisterhold "would be "close to blasphemy." The reason? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his last night on Earth having sex with two women at the motel and physically beating and abusing a third.

So when I ask the question, was MLK a man that deserved a National Holiday, does that mean I'm a racist, or a bigot?

I don't think so.

It means that 40 years later, we should be able to take an objective look, and ignore the color of his skin, right?

Neither George Washington, or Abraham Lincoln have their own National Holiday. They have been stripped of that, and lumped together as 'Presidents Day'.

I can think of numerous people more deserving of a National Holiday - other than Presidents Washington & Lincoln -

How about Ben Franklin ? Thomas Edison ? Alexander Hamilton ?

or more modern;

Henry Ford ? Walt Disney ? Chuck Yaegar? Neil Armstrong ?

What do you think? Am I way wrong on this, or not?

Massachusetts Senate Race

A new Suffolk University poll released yesterday shows that Republican Scott Brown has pulled slightly ahead of his Democratic opponent Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts special election to fill Ted Kennedy's vacant Senate seat.

What's this?

A Republican to fill Ted Kennedy's seat?

Blasphemy ! The Great Leader will be upset !

Actually, this goes to prove what I am talking about.

This race would have been a slam-dunk for the Democrats before the election of The Great Leader, President Obama.

My only hope is that President Obama actually goes to Massachusetts and campaigns for Martha Coakley, which will probably put Brown over the top to stay.

Thus far, he has wisely stayed out of it.

The political pendulum is swinging right, with gathering momentum headed into the mid-term elections. Even if the Dem's pull this one out, just the fact that this seat is even in play is really bad news for the Dems.

I couldn't be happier.

The Hamburger ?

Here is a post -

`

That has nothing to do with

politics.

`

Absolutely nothing.

`

We were watching the TV last

night, and the latest hamburger

commercial came on.

`

And I said to my wife, "The

incredible part about this

commercial is that if you

walk into any Burger King,

anywhere, the hamburger

you get will look exactly

like that one."

`

That got me remembering that Addison Bragg made that same observation, many years ago.

`

Addison died almost a year ago, and for those of you who are new in town, or not from Billings, he wrote for the Billings Gazette for 30 years. With all due respect to the current 'beat' reporters down there now, Addison was my favorite of them all.

`

So today, I dug out my copy of Addisons book, and found his observations.

`

Here was his opinion;

`

But the buns are just great

WHEN IN SESSIONS OF sweet silent thought, I summon up

remembrances of things past, I always wonder:

What ever happened to the hamburger?

I hasten to add, in the event hate mail starts arriving from the McDonald, Wendy, or Burger King people, I'm not talking about the hamburger the way it is today.

I refer to the product as it was back in the days when a ten-cent hamburger was the norm, a "double" went for the going price of 25 cents - and a "deluxe" included french fries as well.

There are, surely, decent and good hamburgers made today.

They come in plastic bags, in cardboard boxes and an assortment of other containers.

But somewhere, to quote an old city editor of mine, we've lost something.

Sometimes I have the feeling that the hamburger of the computer age - the "fast" food product, if you will have it so - is put together by a computer.

In contour and dimension it smacks of a perfectly engineered piece of meat, geometrically round and hones (or sliced) to micro-smoothness.

The bun on which it is served - to read the glowing praises on the menu - nothing short of magnificence in both texture and decoration.

And todays hamburger is cooked rare, medium, or well, in a matter of seconds by the most recent arrival on the electronic scene.

I can almost see a computer programmer, bending his software to the utmost, to produce the new ultra plus of hamburgers.

My 'vision', however, is obscured by the memory of a black, greasy, and smoking grill, presided over by a man in a T-shirt, rolled-up sleeves bearing tattoos of a past hitch in the Navy - and the solid "splat" of a broad knife or spatula smashing down a hunk of ground beef in the middle, and rounding out (approximately) its sides.

I also remember the slices, thin and fresh, of raw onion as well as the proportions of the tomato slice which blanketed the finished product.

Back then hamburgers came rare, medium or well.

Buns came as they were - unless the waiter followed the order with a hearty order to "burn the bun."

Anyone lucky enough to have ordered a hamburger back in those days had no need of potato chips, french fries - or even a portion of cole slaw to fill out the meal.

Back then you didn't have to ask for lettuce or mayonnaise. It came with the territory.

You didn't even have to flatten the finished product with the palm of your hand so you could take that first bite without dislocating your jaw.

The cook did it - with a deft swipe of his spatula for you.

And the hamburger arrived. hot, moist, dripping grease and bulging with the red and white of tomato and onion.

Don't get me wrong.

I take nothing away from today's hamburgers. I still eat them. I still enjoy them.

But not like I used to enjoy watching steam locomotives.

I suppose that's why I still keep looking for someplace where I can eat a hamburger after having watched it, and smelled it - being cooked on a grill by a guy in a sweaty T-shirt who doesn't have to ask me what I want on it, how I like it cooked - or whether I want it on wheels.

And if you remmber what that expression means, you remember the same kind of hamburgers I do.

`

Thanks Addison. I remember those burgers

Democrats cannot be racist. No matter what.

Since it's made the national news this weekend,
lets's have a talk about race in American politics.

In case you didn't see the news, it was revealed
in a book that Senate Majority Leader, Harry
Reid, made some racist comments about
then-candidate Barack Obama.

Reid admitted making the statement, and apologized
for it, and now the Dems think it's OK.

The GOP National Chairman, Michael Steele, who is a black man himself, doesn't think so.

He has openly criticized Reid, and thinks he should step down from his leadership position in the Senate.

What did Reid say exactly?

A new book reported that he was favorably impressed by Obama during the campaign and, in a private conversation, described the Illinois senator as a light-skinned African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

So, it appears that Reid, like most elite Democrats, do not look too far past the color of a persons skin. It does not surprise me.

Even the Clintons, the darlings of the media are mentioned in the book, with ex-President Clinton seeking support from Senator Kennedy in a phone call saying;

“A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

President Clinton wanted the 'Lion of the Senate's" support for his wife’s campaign – but the move appears to have backfired, with Mr Kennedy opting to support her challenger instead.

It's not a new thing guys. Let's look at recent, and not-so-recent history;

FDR - the liberals hero locked up Americans in Internment camps, based on their race.

Senator Robert Byrd was an open Ku Klux Klan member.

Jesse Jackson calls New York 'Hymietown' - showing his hatred of Jews.

Democrats fillibustered the civil rights act - - Robert Byrd, current senator from West Virginia - J. William Fulbright, Arkansas senator and political mentor of Bill Clinton - Albert Gore Sr., Tennessee senator, father and political mentor of Al Gore. Gore Jr. has been known to lie about his father's opposition to the Civil Rights Act. - Sam Ervin, North Carolina senator of Watergate hearings fame - Richard Russell, famed Georgia senator and later President Pro Tempore.

BUT - it seems to be OK if it's a Democrat that is racist.

In the Montana blogospere, over at the liberals site, they were quick to attack Steele as a racist, carefully avoiding why they were attacking him, here's the link;

http://www.leftinthewest.com/diary/3720/why-hasnt-montana-gop-renounced-antiindian-comments-of-gop-chair-michael-steele

I went over and called them on it, because even though they are afraid to comment over here, I have no such fear.

What do you think - should we have an open discussion about race in America?

Has Reid lost what little respect he has left?

Or is this much ado about nothing?

Yellowstone Young Republicans

The Yellowstone Young Republicans are having an event tomorrow at 6:00 pm, Beartooth Harley Davidson .

Be there, or be square~

Kendall Van Dyk vs Roy Brown

I see in this mornings paper that the Gazette is already

trying to push legislative candidates upon us, here's the link;

~

http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/government-and-politics/article_3776a414-fb2c-11de-bb3b-001cc4c03286.html

~

I love their comment about the Dems sensing blood in the water -

talk about whistling through the graveyard!

~

I hate, no, actually I don't hate breaking it to the GAZETTE, that the Dems are poised to lose, and lose HUGE this fall.

~

Kendall Van Dyk is a likeable young man, but don't read too much into his winning his legislative seat over Shirley McDermott last time. I thought Shirley would win, based on how much good she did for those people over there when she was on the city council, but she fell to the political pendulum that was swinging towards the Dems.

~

Well, thanks to The Great Leader, The Messiah, The Protector of the Poor, President Obama and the national Democrats, that pendulum is swinging the other way. The public doesn't like what they're doing, and special elections around the country are showing it.

~

Plus, Kendall now has a (liberal) voting record to scrutinize, that people haven't looked at.

~

I promise to make sure it is scrutinized, by the handful of people who read the Blogs anyway.

~

I'm going to put up analysis of both candidates legislative accomplishments, which is a long list for Roy, and a very meager one for Kendall.

~

Let the games begin !

Nails being driven in the coffin !

Not often, but once in a while the liberal Democrats surprise me.

~

And I don't surprise easily.

~

I'm not talking about their wild, outrageous behavior, such as pushing through unpopular legislation, just to say President Obama accomplished something, but the way they are dooming their own party for the next election cycle.

~

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that President Obamas people are idiots, because they are not. Their policies are failures, but there is a method to their madness.

~

They want to protect President Obama's job, at all costs, and they are desperate for him to do well at something. Anything.

~

If that requires giving up control of the House, and the Senate, so be it.

~

Let's look at the Dems prospects;

~

Democrat Senator Chris Dodd announces today that he's stepping down, since he is down double digits in early polling, and the party deems he's unelectable.

~

There are actually billboards in the Southwest saying "Elect anybody except Harry Reid".

~

North Dakota's Democrat Senator, Byron Dorgan is stepping down.

~

Colorado Democratic Governor Bill Ritter has announced he 'might not' run for a second term.

~

I look for Reid, Bennett,Lincoln, Specter, Giannoulias to all go down in flames.

~

It is rumored that Inouye will retire from Hawaii too.

~

I think the GOP runs the table in 2010, and 2012.

~

Our own Senator, John Tester, assuming he follows Harry Reid over the cliff, will be another GOP gain. He could turn it around, by voting against Obamacare, but even when he was in the Montana legislature he never showed that kind of guts. I truly don't think he has it in him.

~

Max Baucus, despite his recent bad press, will be the nominee of the Montana Democratic Party, for as long as he keeps running. They have been grumbling about him for years, but they have shown in the past that they do not have the fortitude necessary to run a good primary candidate against him.

~

So to sum it up, if we (conservatives) bring forth conservative candidates, and we let the Dems shoot themselves in the foot, tomorrow will be a better day.

Dawn of a new decade

Happy New Year Montana !

~

Goodbye 2000's.

~

As Ebeneezer Scrooge might have said, It's time to find ourselves another 10 years older, and not another hour richer.

~

Looking over the ledger on the past decade, I've decided not to miss it.

~

The decade started out with an imaginary crisis, Y2k -

~

America was attacked on September 11th, 2001 by Muslim Terrorists, and we've been a country at war ever since. We toppled two foreign countries, installed democracies, hanged Saddam Hussein (good riddance) and found out who our friends in the world are.

~

The bills came due from the 90's, and there was no way to pay them, triggering the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

~

Al Gore, who was resting on his laurels for inventing the internet, invented a new religion, called 'Global Warming'

~

Finally, America figured out they didn't like what was happening, and elected an 'empty suit' for President in November of '08, in the person of President Barack Hussein Obama.

~

The man is a community organizer/lawyer/first term Senator from Illinois, who had never ran anything in his life, yet thanks to a lackluster opponent, and spending enough money to retire the national debt, he was elected.

~

Fortunately, the damage he is doing will be a good thing, as the political pendulum is now swinging towards the right, with great velocity, and I predict good things to come for conservatives in November.

~

So goodbye 2000's - don't let the door hit you on the ass.
