D.C. Tea Party

Fresh Update: from 1964, Bob Dylan:

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway
Dont block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
Theres a battle outside
And it is ragin.
Itll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin.

UPDATE: from the UK’s Daily Mail,

Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama’s spending in ‘tea-party’ demonstration (N.B. Daily Mail changed the headline to “Up to one million” today, with no notice of the redaction. Not good journalism.)

“Up to” would of course include a smaller number, but nowhere near as small as the “60,000-70,000” some jackasses in the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind have asserted.

Watch for Keith Olbermann to make some sneering comment about the number of folks who share his sexual preferences.

Here, from a Wshington D.C. traffic cam, a view of the D.C. Tea Party:

No doubt The 0! and his minions will sneer at this gathering as well.

Another Update: from the D.C. Tea Party:

And, methinks CNN got the respect it was due:

ACORN Advice on Running a Prostitution Ring

Yep. How to Run a Sex Slave Business, from President Obama’s buddies in ACORN:

And

h.t. Woody

OK, that was in Baltimore. How about in Washington D.C.?

And, part 2:

h.t., Big Government

MORE!

ACORN accuses Fox News of being racist for revealing ACORN sleeze. Nuh-uh, says moi. What’s racist about video showing no less than FOUR BLACK WOMEN telling a white guy and his purported prostitute-prospective-madam how to run a sex slave business? Supposedly using Salvadoran children? Nothing racist about that, is there? Just the facts, madams.

AmerCommiesObamaReallyNeeds-letter-small

Of course, this assinine accusation of racism on Fox’s part was issued before the Washington D.C. video was released… I guess now it’s going to be just more charges of racism from folks who wouldn’t even recognize their own racism if it slapped them upside the head with a dead cod. *sigh* Some folks really would be more valuable as compost than as ongoing oxygen sinks… but that’s not my decision to make (though I hope you’d excuse me a little dream that they’d make that decision themselves; it’d be the right thing to do, you know… *heh*).

In America, Anyone Can Grow Up To Be President

James Simpson makes a pertinent point in an American Thinker piece:

I don’t take issue with “differently abled” people who imagine they are co-equal partners with God. I firmly believe they should be entitled to all the free healthcare they need, and free room, board, and round-the-clock medications.

However, these people should be subject to some modest restraints as well. For example, they should be prohibited from purchasing a handgun. As a lifetime NRA member, I am with Brady on that one. Similarly they shouldn’t be allowed to drive. They should be let off the grounds every now and then…

But under no circumstances should they be allowed to be President of the United States!

Obamanation Kiddies’ Hour?

Obamucation


Obamanation Kiddies’ Hour? Notsomuch in America’s Third World County. So far, I have confirmation of two gradeschool/middle school combos here in America’s Third World County canceling any participation in The 0!’s first nationwide indoctrination of America’s pubschool children in Obama Worship.

Hmmm, seems parents were burning up the telco wiring and–surprise! surprise!–school administrators looked at their hole card and decided deuces weren’t gonna cut it.

“Say What, Willis?”

Just got an email from a blog buddy that included the following comment summing up the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind response to every infringement of citizens’ rights: “Yawn. No big deal. You have to just trust Barry, cause he is just so cute and fuzzy!”

Hmmm, I told him he’d better take care or they’d accuse him of calling Obama, “That nappy-haired 0!”

You wanted change, dumbasses; you got it. Problem is, now the rest of the country has to live with your mistake.

How Did The 0! Get Elected, Anyway?

Go HERE and take the simple, easy-peasy (seriously!) “Civics Quiz” and see how The 0! got elected. Americans are simply illiterate when it comes to American history and knowledge of our governing documents, etc.

Paula-beats-Abe

“If there is any presidential speech that has captured a place in popular culture, it is the Gettysburg Address, seemingly recited by school children for decades. The truth is, however, Lincoln’s most memorable words are now remembered by very few.

“Of the 2,508 Americans taking ISI’s civic literacy test, 71% fail. Nationwide, the average score on the test is only 49%. The vast majority cannot recognize the language of Lincoln’s famous speech.

“The test contains 33 questions designed to measure knowledge of America’s founding principles, political history, international relations, and market economy…

“…The results reveal that Americans are alarmingly uninformed about our Constitution, the basic functions of our government, the key texts of our national history, and economic principles.”

Well, maybe for a majority of the proles that is true, but surely our well-educated college grads fare better? Nope.

“College graduates in all age brackets—except Baby Boomers (ages 45 to 64)—typically earn an ‘F’ on the exam. Baby Boomers who ended their formal education with a bachelor’s degree score an average of 61%, or a ‘D-.'”

(Well, that certainly squares with the report that 69% of college graduates couldn’t read directions to find their way out of a paper bag… *feh*)

But wait! There’s more! From the “Civics Quiz” report:
