Great!…

There are so many features available through this service that it boggles the mind….

Thanks..great site!…

There didn’t seem to be much excitement around the right side of the blogosphere about Bush’s State of the Union speech — and I mean that literally. There didn’t seem to be a lot of scathing criticism (although the immigration……

With a candidate like Hillary, no body, style of clothing or esthetics commentary can win.

I thought N. Pelosi was very gracious during the SotU.

could that wash-worn, leftist harpy known as nancy pelosi increase her blink rate any further…? what the hell is the matter with her, was she trying to make sure that her eyelids still had feelings from her latest botox injection… nancy ‘blink’ pelosi is her new nickname…

Ok, gloves off. Let’s see if you take it as well as you dish it out. Shall we engage in a conversation about our gaped toothed, poor man’s dominantrix, Condi? Or how about some comments on our piano-legged, wide-load first lady? (With a butt like that, re-think the pastels honey).

God I feel dirty…..

I’m just sayin’.

and, Mr. Lieberman is not part of the ‘clan’.

Yes, she was transmitting blinking “Hillary, you bwitch, I’m third in line for the front spot, and you’re sitting behind Barack, demanding to get closer. I might not be the brightest but tonight, at least, I show some grace toward our President and country. You, on the other hand look and act debovine”.

Agree fully with Bryan’s reaction and those who said that the losers don’t stand (up) for victory. Shame. Shame. Shame. The decline of the “empire” and the loss of their country is more important than a victory for us all, especially under a conservative president. Shame, indeed.

Kerry and Kennedy looked and acted constipated. That Kerry smirk was nauseating. Hillary really looked/acted like a disturbed cage animal. No manners to boot! “County to Hell – it’s all me.me.me”. Wished badly for honora’s assessment of the way she was dressed (but didn’t even have access to HA :(

I thought Nancy was gracious and made the best of the situation. Must have been nerve-wrecking. She was in any event superior to her entire clan. Disgraceful compatriots!

Warner looked like he was locked up in a morgue, woke up, and didn’t know where he was. There s/b common sense when these prima donnas, of both sides, should go away.

The exercise of jumping up and down could be eliminated. It’s straining for both sides. We could tell by their clapping, faces, bodies and other reactions, just the same.

The speech was long, boring and uninspiring, with some necessary parts. Should go back to submitting it to Congreass in writing and leave us alone. It’s all for the cameras and everyone’s voyeurism. Painful to go through, no matter who is president. I watch all of them (the announcers said that the libs watched yesterday in higher numbers strictly because of Pelosi) and Clinton used to bore me silly too, with all his acclaimed “charm”. They’re just all a litany of promises, some of which to be materialized, to screw or rob us. Makes no difference who’s there.

Did not watch Webb, though watched all rebuttals in years past.

Let’s take one example: abortion. President Bush did push through the federal ban on partial birth abortion, which Planned Parenthood then went on a litigation war to defeat. Because of a 2000 U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down Nebraska’s partiual birth abortion ban, three federal district courts held the federal ban unconstiututional. That is now before the U.S. Supreme Court that because of Chief Justice Roberts’s leadership and the substitution of Sam Alito for Sandra Day O’Connor should uphold the federal ban. This fight was unavoidable. President Bush started the fight; he cannot be faulted for the course it has taken.

Nor can President Bush be faulted for not having Congress enact such laws as parental notification laws. Those laws have been traditionally been state laws. Abortion was once a matter of state regulation. The federal partial birth abortion ban has been an exception because it was the only way to get around the 2000 U.S. Supreme Court’s Nebraska case.

Gregor, you were courteous and civil, after all–thank you, too.
It seems we’re both on the same team but going about it different ways…
I hope all of you will try to cut President Bush some slack and pray for God to guide him each and every day as he leads this nation.
As Thomas Paine said during the Revolutionary War, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” and that goes double for the times we’re living in now.
I will pray for all of us, both in America at large and here at HA, and for more patience and forbearance for others when they don’t see things my way and I’m too exhausted to provide a detailed syllabus when asked…
Gregor, I would challenge you to keep surfing Conservative blogs and newssites (and Liberal sites, too, if you can stand it just to see what they’re saying)–I think I spend 75% of my time since 9/11 just reading, analyzing and mulling over the whole situation.
I still maintain that President Bush is one of our finest leaders in these very troubled times and if we are to believe some Christians, possibly the End Times.
It feels like the prelude to Armageddon to me, but then I’m a Right Wing knuckle-dragging Christian hick (with 2 Masters degrees).

As promised, I’m going to deliver our thoughts regarding the president’s State of the Union speech. But before I go into that, I’d like to address some of the e-mails that came in overnight about Marcie’s job last night live-blogging the event.Firs…

Jen the Neocon on January 24, 2007 at 3:18 PM

I’m with you Jen. You consistently take on the liberals who cruise through here and throw bombs. You are precise and expect others to research on what you say. We all have to give each other a little slack for writing comments we have only a little space to do it.
I am not sure Bush is the greatest, but he will be great for taking on the tough decisions, that so many conservatives are now second guessing.
I like sitting at the computer and second guess, it doesn’t cost me anything.
Perhaps this by T. Roosevelt says it best:

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

As for being a learned historian … I’m wondering how a learned historian posted an entire list of false information.

Scr*w you, even if you are a fellow Conservative–you are too rude and inconsiderate to be a real Conservative.

Now girls, no need to fight. You’re both very pretty.

*wink*

Scr*w you, even if you are a fellow Conservative–you are too rude and inconsiderate to be a real Conservative.

Jen the Neocon on January 24, 2007 at 3:18 PM

ROFL! Yes, sometimes I do come across as rude because I get agitated when responding to posts containing false information. I believe it damages our country by causing citizens to go through life uninformed. I feel that those who post information on public forums and claim to be speaking with knowledge on a subject, should be able to back up their claims easily with links to factual references, rather than just saying “I know what I know and that makes it so.”

I don’t mean to be rude, but my passion gets out of hand at times.

As for me not being a real conservative, I’ll just chalk that statement up to frustration on your part. I don’t think you’ll find a single thing in any of my posts or blogs that would suggest that I’m not a conservative.

It’s interesting that you feel comfortable saying that about me, but you defend Bush as the world’s greatest conservative based on pretty much nothing. If I’m not conservative, then that would make Bush a far-left liberal, lol.

Let’s just drop it. I hate arguing with other conservatives. It just doesn’t feel right and I’m sorry you feel I was inconsiderate to you. I know you have fought hard for good issues and we just happen to disagree on Bush’s intentions.

Reason #1 why I didn’t want to even start a list of Bush’s accomplishments:

Because I knew you’d argue every single one of them as you did above.

Trust me. I’m a learned historian of these things

Jen the Neocon on January 24, 2007 at 3:03 PM

What was I supposed to do? Just ignore the fact that everything you wrote was false?

As for being a learned historian … I’m wondering how a learned historian posted an entire list of false information.

Simply saying Bush is a great President over and over is not going to rewrite history. That only works for liberals.

I spend hours each day reading news from about 100 sources, including both conservative AND liberal medias in order to feel comfortable that I’m not being blinded with slanted information.

I’m not exactly sure what you were implying with your suggestion, but if you have information that suggests the articles I linked to were inaccurate based on the facts, I’d be open to read it.

At the same time, I would suggest that you might try to get your news from sources other than the White House website or Bush’s press releases.

The reason the GOP lost their majority is because they didn’t act on President Bush’s proposals, including immigration.

Which proposals on immigration are you referring to? His amnesty proposal? Or are you actually going to suggest that his “comprehensive immigration reform” is NOT amnesty?

The GOP didn’t approve this agenda because IT’S AMNESTY! Many happen to believe that Bush actually WANTED to lose the majority to the Democrats, because he knew he would then be able to pass his open borders policies under a Democratic majority.

Gregor, he did pass the partial birth abortion bill, he’s proposed the Defense of Marriage Act, he’s endorsed faith-based charities, he’s stood behind keeping “under God” in the pledge, instead of Miers, we got Allito and Roberts, he’s halved the deficit and increased revenue to the Treasury significantly with tax cuts, the Iraq war is one of the cheapest in our history, he’s tackling immigration (something previous Presidents either encouraged or ignored), he didn’t lose the GOP majority–the GOP majority lost their majority, he hasn’t “botched” the war–we won control of Iraq and Afghanistan in 3 weeks each and have stayed there with only 3,000 lives lost and there hasn’t been another attack on the homeland since 9/11, Bush completely realigned the government with Homeland Security, the FBI, the NSA, the FTA, etc after the 9/11 attacks to deal with a global and domestic enemy, he assembled a coalition of the willing in a global war in which 55 countries are Islamic, he’s setting up SDI, he handled not only Hurricane Katrina, but the tsunami in Asia and the earthquake in Pakistan, he exposed the UN for the global fraud that it is, etc. etc, etc.

I’m tired, Gregor, but I made a good start.
President Bush is one of our greatest Presidents and will go down in history as such.

Jen the Neocon on January 24, 2007 at 1:30 PM

I’m sorry Jen, but almost everything you listed is bogus.

Let me start from the beginning:

The Partial Birth Abortion Act

This act is still held up in court, and at the moment sits awaiting a Supreme Court decision after being thrown out by both the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan.

It will be interesting to see how the new Supreme Court rules on this. So far, they have failed to render any decisions which indicate that Bush’s new appointments will move the court to the right.

Even so, a partial birth abortion ban is not exactly what conservatives had in mind when they elected Bush to office, along with a GOP majority in both houses. I think it’s fair to say that they anticipated much more.

How is it that with Bush in office, and six years holding majorities in both houses, that this government was not able to push through parental notification laws? How is it that a teacher can drive a 12 year old girl off campus, take her to an abortion clinic where she undergoes surgery, take her back to class where she completes her day and the parents are never even aware their daughter left the school?

He’s endorsed faith-based charities

So what? What does that mean exactly? What has his “endorsement” actually accomplished? Last I checked, the country was far worse off in this area now than when Bush took office. How well are the Boy Scouts doing? You might be familiar with the recent events in San Francisco? Where exactly is this new conservative Supreme Court on this issue? It’s happening all over the country, as you can see here, and here.

“He’s stood behind keeping “under God” in the pledge”

Huh? What exactly does this mean? “Stood behind?”

Unfortunately, words are meaningless. So far every court has ruled against “under God” in the pledge. So is Bush doing ANYTHING?! What has he actually DONE?

“Instead of Miers, we got Allito and Roberts”

And what decisions have they made thus far to indicate that they have moved this court to the right? I can’t come up with a single decision which has caused outrage by the extreme left. Can you?

“He’s halved the deficit and increased revenue to the Treasury significantly with tax cuts”

This one baffles me. Halved the deficit? Are we talking about the same person? Where are you getting your information? You might want to dig a little deeper.

“He’s tackling immigration”

Now I know we’re living on different planets. He’s tackling immigration alright. Unfortunately, his idea of handling immigration is completely opposite of what 85% of the American people want. Do you even bother to read the founder of this blog? Her name is Michelle Malkin and she even helped me in answering you this morning.

“He didn’t lose the GOP majority–the GOP majority lost their majority”

Is that why GOP Congressmen are running away from him in droves? Is that why polls show Bush’s approval ratings at 28%? It’s all someone else’s fault?

“He hasn’t “botched” the war”–we won control of Iraq and Afghanistan in 3 weeks each.”

We did? Must be a different Iraq. Last I checked … even Bush admits we don’t have control in Iraq. And it’s been YEARS, not weeks.

“There hasn’t been another attack on the homeland since 9/11”

That’s simply not true and I really hope you know that. There’s been many attacks within the U.S. They’ve just been labeled as “mentally disturbed individuals acting alone” … even though they all happen to be young male Muslims who have voiced displeasure with our involvement in Iraq.

It’s also important to note that every U.S. President prior to Bush bragged that there had never been a terrorist attack on our homeland BEFORE 9/11. Do you believe that?
Do you believe that means they did a great job?

What makes it worse is that when fanatical Islamic Jihadists use their car to run down Jews in the streets of San Francisco – instead of making an example of the piece of pig excrement – this President stands by while the facts are buried from the public. Sorta the same thing he’s doing with the Border Patrol agents.

“He handled not only Hurricane Katrina, but the tsunami in Asia and the earthquake in Pakistan”

Your examples are getting worse as you go. He “handled Hurricane Katrina?” Seriously? Are you the only person on the planet who thinks Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina was a GOOD thing?

Are you related to George Bush? I’m beginning to think you might be one of his daughters playing puppet master on the blogs.

You finished with your absolute worst example:

“He exposed the UN for the global fraud that it is”

You somehow think BUSH did that? Did you just find that out in the last few years? How did BUSH do this? What did BUSH do to expose this scandal that everyone already knew about? Did BUSH expose the oil for food scandal? I wasn’t aware that BUSH did that. And since the exposure of all of this information … what exactly has BUSH done about it? Last I checked … the UN is operating as business as usual.

I knew it would be hard to come up with a list of accomplishments, but I really thought you might do better than this. I think it might be worse than even I thought.

I DO appreciate your desire for a conservative agenda, but blindly following Bush and believing he’s a conservative is not going to help us obtain our goals.
