T-13, 1.7–13 Reasons Why the Republican’ts Got Dopeslapped

[Stealing the time to make this one a “live” post, instead of the mostly-canned posts from my hand this week]

13 Reasons Why the Republican’ts Got Dopeslapped on Tuesday

1. Republican’ts=conservatives was a lie that the party faithful couldn’t buy, so why should anyone else?

2. Fumbling the ball in the Iraq end zone. Over and over and… (and not just in the prosecution of the end game, as number next will state)

3. Fumbling the ball in the war of words about the Iraq adventure (lame responses to next in line… )

4. Lies, damned lies and Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind “news” (coupled with lame-assed Republican’t whimpy responses to such) in the recursively echoing litany of lies as…

5. …the Democrappic Party adopted the lamest, most absurd fantasies of the Loony Left Moonbat Brigade and

6. An American electorate, enstupiated by pubschool “education” coupled with Mass Media disinformation (that an enstupiated public is ill fit to see through) and sheer laziness willing to buy the easy lies of the LLMB and MMPPH.

7. Oh, and the “Read my lips: no amnesty” White House lies along with

8. A (unfunded) Paper Border Fence

9. Republican’ts spending like drunken sailors

10. Fake Security Theater, disdained by anyone with the ability to count to eleven without removing their shoes at a TSA Checkpoint Charlie.

11. Increasing anarcho-tyranny (a la Martha Stewart, et-oh-so-many-al) encouraging more and more folks to view the fedgov “ins” as oppressive

12. Corruption… though not just among Republican’ts. The corrupt Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind also failed to report evenhandedly on the fact that there are just as many corrupt and scandalous Democraps as Republican’ts. Of course.

13. And last, but certainly not either least OR completing a list of all the reasons the Republican’ts got dopeslapped Tuesday, all too many stupid and/or lazy voters were not responsible enough, smart enough (*d’oh*) or lazy enough to stay away from the polls as I counseled them to do. I wash my hands of these lazy, irresponsible idiots. They have sown the wind, let them reap the whirlwind. I’m gonna crawl in a deep, dark hole and fort up. *heh* Come the apocalypse, all I’ll have to say to them is, “No soup for you.”

TB-ed to the Thursday Thirteen Hub. And to Planck’s Constant, where Bernie’s 13 things post highlights things the stupid and lazy voters (who should’ve stayed home) missed. And The Pirate’s Cove, where Dhimmicratic reactions to the Republican’t’s dopeslap are noted.

Stop the ACLU: So, America voted for change?

graphic courtesy of iHillary

Crossposted from Stop The ACLU

So, America voted for change? They should be careful what they ask for because they will get it. For those that voted or stayed home in order to send the Republicans a message on election day…congratulations! Your all important “lesson” will now backfire in your face. You just cut off your nose to spite your face. Not only have you helped to give both Houses over to the left, put Nancy Pelosi in as the Speaker of the House, and completely destroyed any chance of getting a Constitutionalist majority in the Supreme Court, but groups like the ACLU seem to think this election was a mandate for their insanities. Look, you can’t say we didn’t warn you.

Yesterday voters nationwide rejected candidates who failed to uphold civil liberties and rejected ballot initiatives that undermine fundamental freedoms of all Americans.

“American voters have reinvigorated our system of checks and balances essential to stopping the abuse of power,” said Anthony D. Romero, American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director. “Voters finally had enough of the 109th Congress that repeatedly rubber-stamped legislation that violates our basic rights. Voters also rejected many state ballot initiatives designed to restrict civil liberties and meddle in our personal lives. The 110th Congress should take note – voters rejected political scare tactics and government power grabs in favor of civil liberties and policies that keep us safe and free.”

Ah, the old “Safe and Free” banner! Since when did the ACLU care about us being “safe”? So now the ACLU is promoting itself as a champion of both safety for our citizens and of freedom. What a joke! When 9-11 occurred what measures did the ACLU take to ensure our safety? None, zip, nada. This organization has done nothing to ensure our safety; in fact it has chosen to sue our government on behalf of terrorists outside of their legal jurisdiction while they were located in prisons on foreign soil.

The Ghost of Election Past…

OK, I’ve blogging live on this one…

Dreary news?

Well, yes and no. Republican’ts surely got what they had coming in the national results. Play soft on illegal aliens, spend like drunken sailers, refuse to move on serious legislation to ensure fair taxation for us, our children and grandchildren and still call themselves conservatives?

But there’s a silver lining.

This can be and hopefully will be a BIG dope slap to Republican’ts who refuse to be serious about reining in spending, border/immigration control, rennovating the tax system from the ground up or doing what’s NECESSARY to create a Middle East less capable of producing terrorists for export (like, instead of playing footsie with the surrender monkeys across the aisle, dig in their heels and work HARD to get done what’s needed in Iraq, Iran… and Saudi Arabia, among other places).

If RepubliCAN’TS learn to work together for the security of this country, for fair taxation, for reduced spending, they can become RepubliCANS and block the dismantling of our military (such as happened at great peace during the Clintoon years), block higher taxes, block runaway spending and more. By reaching out to less-than-wild-eyed-Pelosites across the aisle (instead of trying to appease the Pelosites), republicans could make central conservative issues real wedge issues to fracture the apparent Pelosite juggernaut.

But will they?

The surrender monkeys among the Republican’ts (RINOs one and all) who were reelected or not up in this election cycle will make it difficult. The tendency for these congresscritters (and this president) to flat out ignore their base and refuse to take principled stands on important issues militates against such good sense, as well.

But maybe… maybe this mid-term dope slap will get their attention.

Maybe.

May I respectfully submit that we, as citizens, do everything in our power–calls, letters, personal visits to congresscritters’ offices, etc.–to encourage our congresscritters to get with a program to genuinely enhance American security, make taxation fair, rein in spending, etc.? And may I point to Daffy ab Hugh’s excellent post concerning things republiCAN’TS need to do in the next two years to become genuine RepubliCANS? It’s a very long post, as blog entries go, but worth reading EVERY SINGLE WORD, then re-reading so you, too, can become an apostle of good news to your RepubliCAN’T Senator or Congressman, seeking to convert them to righteous conservatism. *heh* Here’s a sampel of what you’re in for at Big Lizards, Advice for President Bush in dealing with a Dem controlled Congress:

Put them in the position of having to be the bad guys who try (and fail) to shoot down your tax-cut proposals, who attempt to veto sending enough troops into Baghdad to really make a difference, and whose wild spending bills you keep vetoing. Don’t worry about embarassing them; it can only help. You’re not after the leadership anyway… you’re after the rank and file — that’s your secret weapon, that many Democrats really don’t like the Democratic leadership and feel secretly embarassed to be associated with them.

Exactly.

Go. Read the whole thing. NOW!

Valour-IT: What’s IT Worth to You?

Yesterday was a banner day for the program. I started the day glum, having not slept well the night before, as the numbers were going flat (and the Navy Team was having our “parts” handed to us). By lunch time, I will admit, safe from the public’s eye, I engaged in some snarking via “backchannel” comms to the other teams.

Then the evening settled in, and I saw the metoric rise of the flag of those who go down to the sea in ships had done something aviators generall cringe at, because, we al know from the good Captain, “speed is life.” The only good part of our journey, is when we have stalled, nose high, hearing the wind nosie silencing itself, we don’t get overcome by the law of gravity that has ended, prematurely, the lives of many good men and women who has tried to slip the surly bonds of earth. We at least hang there.

In any environment, being a staionary target is never good, for it takes the delicate computations of relative motion out of the mix and makes it much easier for the targeter to snipe at the targetee.

This morning’s numbers show us all, stalled short of the goal, just inching past the wonderful preformance of last year.

Let’s redouble our efforts, blostered by one more tall cup of extra caffinated Starbucks and work the phones and keyboards.

In the meantime, enjoy what “Gazing at the Flag” blog writer sends to us, a story of a sacrifice, small as it is to some, it’s a statement worth considering., Read it here and consider: What’s IT (not an intended pun, but a reference to Valour-“IT”) worth to you?

Can you trade a the date dinner before the movie this Friday or Saturday night (in the $25-45 range for lots of the middle class incomes) to propel someone from a hospital bed, wondering through the phantom pain of a missing limb, just how they will support their spouse and later send their children to a better life than they had, to help this person, whom you will most likely never know their name?

How about a day’s wages? Maybe we could all grab a calculator, do some reasonably quick math, and figure out what we make for a day and pledge (well, pledge via a click on the doantion button) that value (gross or net, depending on how you are feeling at the moment) to this nation’s future, because, when you peel this onion apart, layer by layer, it’s about helping people be productive now, and to be there to launch the next generations.

How about it? If not putting it directly into the kitty, maybe figure that much to one of the auction items? And… I would further challenge everone who bids on any items, that if you are not the winner, no matter if you bid a $1 or $500, that you figure you would have paid that much to get a Challenge Coin, wine goblets, or a hard copy “blogvel,” it’s money you considered putting towards Valour-IT, so when the final gavel drop is heard and “SOLD! TO THE (fill in not you description) WITH THE FUNNY CAMOFLAUGED HAT!” resounds, log in and donate it via the service team you love most (psst! The Navy is ahead…spread the love elsewhere! (I don’t want them feeling left out and Waaaayyyy behind!)).

Can I count on you? Ok, forget me, can they, our wounded and their familes and families to be, count on you for one day?

Think about it…

Something to think about, with Election Day around the corner. Vote wisely. 🙂
In Liberty,
(name redacted)

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the man.

“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”

“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the
senator.

“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and
putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland
full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, “Yesterday we were
campaigning… Today you voted.”

Teenage Girls Exploding

By: Angel

GAZA CITY (AFP) – A Palestinian teenage girl has blown herself up in an attack against Israeli troops, as Israel pressed an offensive in the Gaza Strip that has left 55 Palestinians and one soldier dead in six days.

Four Palestinians, including three militants from the armed wing of the ruling Ham–as party, were killed by Israeli troops as a fourth Pal–estinian succumbed to his wounds and the woman staged a suicide bombing.

Woman in suicide attack as Gaza death toll tops 50

An Israeli soldier was lightly wounded …

Nevertheless Defence Minister Amir Peretz vowed that Israel’s Operation Autumn Clouds would continue until its objective to lessen rocket attacks on the Jewish state was met.
Israel launched its latest blitz aiming to stop militants from launching rockets into its territory, but 36 such rockets have struck the Jewish state since last Wednesday….

This just in.
One thing A-rab women are good for: spontaneous combustion.
Ah, but wouldn’t her “meat be uncovered” if she blew up to smithereens? Just askin.

And our ever so loyal Mainstream Mafia reporters say:

The ultra-radical Is–lamic Jih-ad claimed responisibilty.
Who in the blazes (no pun intended) is the “ultra-radical group.”?
Oh wait. They must mean Muzzlim “terrorists”!

But fear not, Ham–as, the “ultra-rad group” calls upon their own women, (you know those left-over “pieces of meat”)… to be human shields for their armed terrorists holed up in mos-ques.

That, they’re “good for.”

They encourage their ahem “women” to use their full body coverings as disguises for bombs.

That, they’re “good for.”

And…Who cares if they have now successfully put all A-rab women at risk. If they get shot at, they can always accuse the Israelis of gunning for ahem…”innocent civilians, like women and children” eh?

Oh. and one more thing…….
Did you happen to notice that the Mainstream Mafia reporter waited till paragraph three to even make note of Israeli casualties? Just askin.

Let’s be honest. Muzzlim women are hidden like show dogs, until they are needed to die for the cause. Applaud the muti-culturalism all. Great cultural show indeed.

Come to think of it sweet friends, The MSM has been at its worst since they started calling A-rabs in Israel by the fictitious name “Palest-inians” and the ancient homelands, that always belonged to the Jews,.. the “West Bank”.

Hmmmmmmm.
