Undecided

Some voters in Chicago who are saying they are undecided at the moment.



Another example of how a camcorder can unravel the Democrat Party.  Put their results online.  Show everyone what 40 years of Democrat control can do to a place like Detroit.  Ask them how the "Hope" and "Change" is working out for them.

The Democrat Party has hurt more Americans than any other organization since our founding.

A Sign of the Times Updated and Bumped

[orig post 10.26 6:25am]

A hat owner in the People's Democratic Republic of Kalifornia has found a solution to the rash of Romney sign vandalism and theft.



The takers will have to work a little harder to take this one!

The accompanying comments from our Comrade:

First, I inverted the sign, bent the wires at the top, punched holes throughout to reduce wind buffeting it around, then I bought fishing weights from a store in the harbor and attached them to the bottom.  Then, I duct taped a shepherd's crook bird feeder hanger to our branch lopper, parked Beaulah under the tree, climbed into the bed and hoisted the sign on a branch about 22' up.  It will take a bit of energy for the sign stealing weasel to get this one down.  Heh heh.

UPDATED Noon:

The same patriotic Comrade has selflessly captured the revolutionary spirit and national consciousness with a new song:

Oh, say can you see? By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly I hung from the cypress tree's branches.
Whose blue stripes and lead weights through the perilous night,
Out our window I watched was so gallantly hanging?
And the libtards' mean glares, eff bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our sign was still there!
Oh, say does that Romney Ryan banner yet wave
O'er the 'hood full of libs and our home of the brave?


UPDATED and BUMPED 10.30.12 6:30am:

An update from our comrade out West. 

Names removed to protect the three last conservatives in that state.

Something interesting happened tonight.  After dinner, [comrade] and I went down to the Romney sign tree to fix my sign because the wind had been blowing and one of the hooks came off the branch.

My gay neighbor across the street was out on his balcony smoking and jokingly called out, "Hey what are ya doing with that sign?".  I said I was fixing it and told him I was very close to hanging a big old Romney banner on their balcony while they were at work.  This is what made my jaw drop:  he said, "I actually wouldn't mind. I've already voted and I voted my conscience. You notice I don't have an Obama sign in our yard.".  Exact words.  You could have knocked me over with a feather.

He also said he took a photo of our sign up the tree and sent it to his sister as a sad commentary on how the first amendment is being trashed.  He has expressed worry for my safety and is also scared for himself.

Also, [comrade] saw some guy stop his car and take a photograph of my sign earlier today when I was out doing errands.  I wonder where that photo will end up.  I think I started more than a sign war here.  I think it has gotten more than a few people upset to see the lengths I have to go to keep a stupid sign from getting run over, violated or damaged.

Question of the Day

Asks Captain Capitalism:

Let's just say, "hypothetically" you are an enemy of the United States (or any free and successful country). You are a communist psy-ops specialist in the Soviet Union.  Or heck, just a communist ideologue from the Frasier School that wants to ruin the US.  Whatever your origins, you are a communist that wants to destroy the US.  You envy its economic wealth, you envy it's economic production, you hate how it's dominant and #1, and it really grinds your gears they did it by letting people be free and do what they want.  You know you can't take on the US militarily, so how do you bring about its demise efficiently, effectively and cheaply?

Trust

"Trust" - it have become a campaign slogan. Cheapened by a soul-less, dishonest, Liberal Progressive Communist imposter.

We'd like the candid answer to our question for the remaining ambassadors:  "Do you trust Obama to dispatch the security and military resources if and when you ask?"

How about our military?  "Do you trust your commander in chief to value your life over the feelings of foreign leaders?"

To the 23 million unemployed: "Do you trust Obama to enact pr-growth pro-business policies in a second term?"

Despite his record and the current Benghazi cover-up, here is the latest Obama endorsement by the Seacoast newspaper in New Hampshire:



Here are a couple images our Facebook friends recently posted:





If trust were the only factor in this election, Obama would have one vote. 

That's assuming Ambassador Stevens sent in his absentee ballot before the White House situation room watched him get attacked, raped and murdered over a seven hour period and declined to assist despite having an AC-130 gunship overhead and reaction forces less than 2 hours away.

Re-read that last sentence a few times.

"Trust."  It is NOT a campaign slogan, and words carry far less meaning than do actions (or in-actions).

Top Video So Far

We just added this video to our Top Ten Election 2012 Videos post.




Excellent presentation.

And FINALLY, pinpointing the problem not on incompetence or bad ideas, but on Marxist ideology.

Don't let Romney's success with the "Obama is not ready for the job" campaign theme trick you. Obama did exactly what he wanted, and will do so again if given four more years. It has little to do with competence, and a whole lot to do with tyranny that comes each and every time with a bloated government.

The GOP cheated us, and all of America, in this election cycle.  They took the easy road for the win.  We understand.  But they left out the ideology argument when times were most ripe for it.

Reagan confronted Communism head-on and won.

The GOP should have put Obama's ideology on trial this election season.  Sure, it'd be seen as negative.  The Soviets thought Reagan's "evil empire" talk and SDI concepts pretty negative too.

Ann Update

Ann Barnhardt, owner of our Commie Obama Hat, updated her site today to tell us two things:

1) It is her birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANN!

2) The IRS has seized her personal bank account.

She chose to stop paying taxes when our dear leader, as part of his transformation of America, mandated ObamaCare cover abortions and birth-control with tax-payer dollars.

She expects her business accounts to be raided too, then her home.

Our religious freedom is under attack, and Ann is at the tip of the spear.

She doesn't accept concern, but we worry nonetheless.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her every day.

Quote of the Day UPDATED and BUMPED

[org post 10.24.12 6:23am]

The late author Ayn Rand, author of our favorite book Atlas Shrugged, had some opinions of the Libertarian Party.  Here is the first of many:

Question: What do you think of the Libertarian movement?

Ayn Rand:

All kinds of people today call themselves “libertarians,” especially something calling itself the New Right, which consists of hippies, except that they’re anarchists instead of collectivists. But of course, anarchists are collectivists. Capitalism is the one system that requires absolute objective law, yet they want to combine capitalism and anarchism. That is worse than anything the New Left has proposed. It’s a mockery of philosophy and ideology. They sling slogans and try to ride on two bandwagons. They want to be hippies, but don’t want to preach collectivism, because those jobs are already taken. But anarchism is a logical outgrowth of the anti-intellectual side of collectivism. I could deal with a Marxist with a greater chance of reaching some kind of understanding, and with much greater respect. The anarchist is the scum of the intellectual world of the left, which has given them up. So the right picks up another leftist discard. That’s the Libertarian movement.

There are always a few Paulbots at the Tea Party gatherings carrying "Who's John Galt?" signs and mumbling "end the fed" to anyone who will listen.  We wonder if they know her thoughts.

U/T: SayUncle

Our friendly message to our Facebook friends today:

A favor please.

Please de-friend us if you are a Paulbot, supporter of Gary Johnson, or whoever is the libertarian du jour.

We can handle four years of a Massachusetts Republican, or even four more years of a Communist-Inspired Chicago Democrat.  But we'd like to go the next four years without hearing how the two parties are the same, the wonderful benefits of legalizing marijuana, or how we are all Libertarians at heart.

Thank you for teaching us the term "Fiat Money."  We love the idea of returning to a gold standard, and 'ending the fed'.  But since you're essentially sitting this election out by voting Libertarian, your opinion no longer holds any value with us.

Our epic post on Ron Paul from last year.

UPDATED 12:30pm:

We and Ms. Rand may have exhausted ourselves wasting time on Libertarians, but Bill Whittle still has some energy:




UPDATED 10.27 12:30pm:

We tripped across the FB page for the Libertarian Party of Ohio.

A whole 3,108 people are following this page when they aren't smoking dope.

Final Debate

No need for any critical analysis of last night's debate.

If you want analysis, we defer to Krauthammer, below, or to the very competent bloggers in our blogroll to the left.




For those who have been paying attention, there was nothing new last night.  And we only post our comments here for people who pay attention.

Instead, how about a photo montage?  Here are some pics we pulled off the interwebs:

What we saw last night:



What the national security experts at DailyKos see today:



What we can expect from those in the MSM that still have viewers:



What we suspect Obama voters are feeling:



Legalization of marijuana did not come up in the debate last night as was hoped by the Paulbot/Gary Johnson fringe.  We can conclude that if their candidate had been present, his hold on 3% of the electorate would have been eviscerated.

Yet, quite a few less hammer & sickles in the cartoons compared to the 2008 election. Not sure why that is....





Forward Comrades!

"FORWARD!"

"FORWARD TO UTOPIA!"

The Comrades at today's Ohio rally for Biden say it.  But they use the European spelling...



And all the Comrades have said it.


You get to say it too if you buy our Commie Obama Hat!

Obama Cuss Jar Contest - CLOSED

The jar is full, so time for another contest!

There are many reasons for our colorful language.  Maybe another assault on private property, religious freedom, or the private-sector economy.  Maybe a dead ambassador, or a bow and apology to a thug dictator. Maybe the coming fiscal cliff.

During the Bush years the liberals would bleat, "If you're not mad, you're not paying attention."  As you can see by the photo below, we're paying attention.  And so are our Comrades who wear this hat!

Hillary's Fog of War



"Fog of War" is Hillary's excuse for failing in her job. 

Carl Von Clausewitz is the author of that term.  It is part of his discussion on Friction of War in Book One of his 8 books, On War. 



"Fog of War" is a reference to the chaos of multiple battles in a total war setting that, in reality, never go as planned.  It refers to the confusion that every battlefield commander faces, and one of many challenges competent leaders must overcome.

When Hillary's ambassador was attacked, raped, and slaughtered, it was in a single attack that was predicted days in advance.  The country may be in a pseudo-state of war, but not so much that the ambassador required any security.

In other words, if her claim of "Fog of War" is to be believed, then she must answer the question: "Why did you have an ambassador in a war zone without any security?" 

She is misusing the phrase.  She must take the spotlight off of the President.  Also, she is obviously attempting to distract from her incompetence and the glaring lack of a resignation.  This "Fog of War" line is just meant to buy another day or two.

Hillary should consult her staff about terms such as "Fog of War."  Many career State Department employees have read Clausewitz and could suggest a better phrase excuse.

Hollywood Nixes the "C" Word

The Last Man Standing is a sitcom with Tim Allen playing a conservative father.  A script had him discussing politics with his liberal daughter and, at one point, calling President Obama a Communist.

The lines have been stripped from the script, and Tim Allen will not be wearing one of our Commie Obama hats in that show.

U/T: Breitbart via MoonBattery

Quote of the Day

Tonight is presidential debate #2.

Here is a quote from the blogger of BattleGroundWatch that we fully agree with:

It is a metaphysical certainty Obama will be declared the winner tomorrow so don’t even sweat the upcoming media love fest for Obama.  Anything he does will be better than the disaster that was his first performance and that’s all they will need to write the rejuvenated Obama comeback story they so desperately want to run.

The mask slipped in the first debate and over 70 million Americans saw the naked truth of an incumbent President with no plan for a better tomorrow.

VP Debate

Our Notes:



The debate moderator failed America.

Biden's re-election as VP depends on American not hearing what Ryan has to say.  Biden's interrupting and other behavior unbecoming of a 5th grader was meant to do this.

America's foreign threats and struggling economy are funny to Biden.  Everybody saw this.



We doubt one vote was gained or lost on this debate.

We and our friends wish Ryan had done more or better.  We doubt that was possible.  A+ to Ryan for doing what he could against a lib VP and a lib moderator.  Biden gets a A+ to for obfuscating.

At Drudge:

Chris Wallace: I've never seen a candidate as disrespectful as Biden...
Borger: Came Off As Condescending...
Hume: 'Cranky Old Man'...
Biden Interrupted Ryan 82 Times?
AP: 'Laugh, chuckle, grimace, grin, smirk, goofy face'...
CNN: Raddatz 'the third debater'...

RNC's First Post-Debate Ad:




From FB Friends:



DailyKos celebrates a Democrat win!

Kos himself:

Tonight felt great, didn't it? Conservatives are hung up on Vice President Joe Biden being too tough and aggressive, since apparently now they're peace-loving hippies. Or something.

Fact is, Paul Ryan looked way out of his depth, and for a party that spent the last four years claiming Biden was an idiot, it turns out he turned the GOP's "policy wonk" into roadkill.


UPDATED 10.13:

From Comments:  This link, and this quote from Dan Riehl:

As for Biden: lethal in the sense that he killed himself and squandered his biggest asset: likability. In an effort to reduce Ryan, he reduced himself.
