Quote of the day
posted at 10:00 pm on May 16, 2008 by Allahpundit
“The alert among you will have noticed by now that what all these spiritually uplifting leaders have in common. They are all Democrats. Never in any of the chapters of this hagiography does a Republican, a conservative, appear in a remotely similar light. These alien creatures by contrast have always been portrayed as cartoonish representatives of the Dark Side of humanity, or, if they were really lucky, simply idiots, failed B-movie actors and irredeemably ignorant hicks with embarrassingly neanderthal views on women, religion and communism…
Mr Obama is portrayed throughout as an immanently benevolent figure. Not human really, more a comforting presence, a light source. He is always eager to listen to all aides of an argument, always instilling confidence in the weak-willed, resolutely sticking to his high principles and tirelessly spurning the low road of electoral politics. I stopped reading after a while but I’m sure by the end he was healing the sick, comforting the dying, restoring sight to the blind and setting prisoners free.”

It’ll be more than a “shame” if he’s elected.

Amen.
The Church of State needs its saints, gods and saviors.

122…..FREE primary health care clinics

Are you surprised that this is the same media that gave Bush a free ride in 2000? The same Bush who had problems pronouncing big words- which seemed to more of a charming personality trait than a warning sign about his intellectual character.

The Tennessee GOP is going after Michelle O’s “…not proud of my country” comment. It was the topic of conversation on H & C tonight and this young lady, Caroline, was the dorkiest Democrat I’ve seen so far on TV. Hannity, Luntz and Kasich all tried, but it was futile. Colmes dorked around, like he always does, siding with her complete and utter idiocy. Clips of that segment w/b hilarious to see on HA.
On Quote of the Day, I read the article last night and was flored by how many items in it I liked. Gerard Baker captured well how ridiculous our media are, and how irrelevant they’ve become, going fast to zero. Great article, worth every morsel in it.

So does all this mean that Hillary is alive and kicking, or has Dorothy’s bucket of water worked it’s magic?
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Didn’t Entelechy post this yesterday or am I drunk already?
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Wow, somebody across the pond is paying attention.
Hannibal Smith on May 16, 2008 at 10:36 PM
And yet when these hicks declare war on a bunch of irredeemably violent hicks with horrifyingly neanderthal views on women, religion and freedom, we’re pilloried as warmongers, imperialists, vengeance-seekers, etc. Go figure.

the timing is about right,

Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 10:41 PM
MB4, all it means is that AP and I have discerning tastes regarding articles.
p.s. you might be drunk too.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 10:42 PM
We have the internet now. I was around for the Kennedy Blessing and even then it was shallow and short lived. Afterall, he took Jackie to Dallas because he was largely hated in the South.
The left looks for a religious candidate.. They find it in politics. They look for a secular religious candidate and they got one. We got zip.
In reality, all politics is now religious. Somebody important said that at some time in history. You can quote me.
thatcher on May 16, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Just to pile it on:
Rumor has it that there is video of Michelle Obama “railing against ‘whitey’ at Jeremiah Wright’s church.”
AZCON on May 16, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Agreed. Obamarx would have us all suckling on the Federal teat for basic substinance. From health care to gasoline to food.
JonRoss on May 16, 2008 at 10:45 PM
Darn it.

canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 10:46 PM
LOL..When I clicked and started to listen I was shaking my old head thinking ‘What is canopfor trying to get at here?’.
More beer please.
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 10:48 PM
For sure. The American left is just as rabid about the imposition of a marxist and totally isolationist society as the jihadist are about killing us infidels in the name of Allah. Except the American left actually uses religion as a cover, thin as it may be, for their wickedness (Rev Wright, Jessie, Sharpton, Barry Lynn, etc) whereas the jihadist use their religion as a rational for their wickedness.
JonRoss on May 16, 2008 at 10:52 PM
They haven’t invented the “internet beer sharer” yet, or I could help you out.
Get on it ip geeks!
AZCON on May 16, 2008 at 10:53 PM
JonRoss, very good. Exactly what I had in mind.

MB4 and Limerick, maybe canopfor too, might be a bit tipsy, but you are downright drunk, or delusional when it comes to the media having given Bush a free ride in 2000. Remember how Fox nearly sunk his presidency with the drunk driving thingy? Your memory is very limited and short.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Unless you are seeing two of me I can’t be drunk.
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Ew!!

news that some guy is drunk and firing off his
Howitzer all night! HA HA HE HE !!!
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Wow, canophor! I should have licked my frog before watching that!
But seriously, what a demonstration of Obama as a vessel for socialist-leaning mankinds hope, complete with girls dancing in his mouth.
AZCON on May 16, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Miss E,
Me? What gives you that idea? It is racist to suggest that an Irishman drinks.
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 11:07 PM
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:05 PM
You two, I have no idea what you are writing about, and I’m completely sober. However, if you’re grown ups, have fun sipping whatever you got in front of you.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:07 PM
My dear Limerick, it was solely based on your claim to “get another beer” :)
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Well. Ok. I admit it, but only a wee bit. Sorta like that Kennedy fella when he ran into the Capitol.
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 11:10 PM
I’am actually stunned,mortified,and yet so perplexed that
Obamamania is shilling for the India vote,me thinks he’s
be pullin out all the stops,
for the love of all thats right and decent,and yet its on
Obamas election website,and no I didn’t go visit his stinkin
website,I’m married,and to exsplain to the wife I never left
the key board and caught something,
Well,lets say there would be Hell to pay!!!!!
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:11 PM

Just in case you were wondering.

Beer up my nose isn’t funny!
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 11:17 PM
OldEnglish, hilarious. AZCON, you too.
Beer, or no beer, alcohol or any kind, or not, be sure to read entire article. Every word is worth it!
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:19 PM
S/b “of any kind”, and I swear, I’m as sober as canopfor claims to be.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:20 PM
I’m not sure which one to fire. I thought I only had one howitzer, but now I see three of them. Should I just fire the one in the middle?
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 11:21 PM
Wow,canophor,I should of licked my frog before watching that
AZCON on May 16,2008 at 10:53PM.
AZCON: Please tell me you licked side to side,and not
eewww,ick back to front,EH!
And yer on a roll,canop————– (hor)!!

Looks like the International Communiteh is starting to laugh up its sleeves.
RushBaby on May 16, 2008 at 11:31 PM
I think that Ed McMahon used to say it a lot, and probably drink it a lot too. Probably the originator is lost in antiquity.

Well okay…

Calling INDY CONSERVATIVE,are you out there!
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:34 PM
OK and I’ll fire at azimuth 5600 mils at max range. Obama and one of the Clintons was suppose to be in Portland. Maybe I will finish what Huckabee started.
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 11:35 PM
I think this may be the every other Friday night when he takes his goat out to dinner.
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 11:36 PM
Easy there, big fella. Not cool. Just sayin’.
techno_barbarian on May 16, 2008 at 11:42 PM
First Cinque Johnson, now this from Gerard Baker. That’s some mighty fine commentary.

Newsweek has long been in print what NBC News is on the air–the most left-leaning news source that pretends to be unbiased.
jgapinoy on May 16, 2008 at 11:43 PM
I think..
MB4 on May 16,2008 at 11:36PM.
MB4: You’ve got to be kidding me,he was suppose to send me
a gallon of Camel pee,oh thats just feaggin great,oh
well another dry weekend of not getting all pied and
smacked up on Camel pee!
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:43 PM
Speaking of your howitzer…..I figured you will understand this one.
Gunner!
HE!
Bunker!
UP!
Identified!
FIRE!
On the way!
……..
I forgot the ‘On the way’ part
The TC’s nose was never the same after that.
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 11:44 PM
You think that’s funny but when I got home tonight one of my neighbors was doing just that.
OKay that’s a bit of hyperbole. He has a pyrotechnic license and was testing a bunch of fireworks for Independence Day.
Damn I love living in Texas.
RushBaby on May 16, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Damn I love living in Texas.
RushBaby on May 16,2008 at 11:45PM.
RushBaby: Now that is cool,we used to be able to buy
firecrackers,but not any more!
Last time I think I bought firecrackers in
Canada was around ten or twelve,thats when
frogs weren’t safe when I went to camp!
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:50 PM
Aperitif, of the gentleman’s choice
Appetizer – baked snails, in lots of butter with chopped Italian parsley
Soup – bouillabaisse, Marseille version, with thin toast and aioli
Exotic/citrus icewater/cream, just one scoop
Entre – light fish dish, with rice, or rice noodles, lemon juice/or sauce, maybe with capers, with a fine white wine
Dessert – light cake with lots of fresh berries
A fine Cognac to seal the evening in good taste.
Master and goat go home content.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:52 PM
If you like Camel pee, try some Billy beer as I hear that it is close to the same color, body and aroma. If you can’t find any Billy beer try Millers.
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 11:53 PM
DAMN! I guess #6 with a shake leaves me the hell out.
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 11:54 PM
I always though that the goat was probably the master. Actually sometimes I think that he gets much of his material from the goat anyway.
MB4 on May 16, 2008 at 11:56 PM
Limerick, I don’t get it – which is #6?
Y’all get back on topic or we’ll all be fired, I mean thrown out of a fine parlor, and I’d hate that, really.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 11:58 PM
OH lord I’m LMAO,oh what have I wrought!
canopfor on May 16, 2008 at 11:58 PM
Just the beer talking (McDonald’s)…
Obama better get the subject back on the economy quick…
Ok..how’d I do Miss E?
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 11:59 PM
From one of the hundreds of Irish joke pages.
AZCON on May 17, 2008 at 12:00 AM
Fox and Friends last week or so in the morning,
talked about why goats had their eyes on the sides,
so they know when somebody is sneeking up on them,I
nearly hurled tea all over the monitor!
canopfor on May 17, 2008 at 12:01 AM
I think you all have gotten canopfor drunk, and he doesn’t even sip any alcohol. Our Canadian buddy, control yourself :)
Entelechy on May 17, 2008 at 12:01 AM
Limerick, you’re always fine by me. I can’t ever get upset with you.
Entelechy on May 17, 2008 at 12:02 AM
And soon to be spread to my neighbors in Texas. Kudos!
Limerick on May 17, 2008 at 12:02 AM
Forgive Me:
AZCON on May 17, 2008 at 12:05 AM
These are no firecrackers, these are show-quality fireworks. My neighbor does shows as his profession. New stuff comes out, he buys them and tests them out before incorporating them in his shows. We get spectacular treats throughout the year this way, and it’s great–everybody sitting out in their lawn hooting their approval between batches.
RushBaby on May 17, 2008 at 12:06 AM

We’re in full agreement. I believe we like similar articles BD. Thanks for all your diligent contributions. I catch them and have been meaning to be appreciative to you for your thorough diligence.
Entelechy on May 17, 2008 at 12:09 AM
If that goat was Indy’s, I sure hope that he is not the jealous type.
MB4 on May 17, 2008 at 12:10 AM
canopfor, dream of all of us, and may you laugh out loud in your dreams tonight :)
Entelechy on May 17, 2008 at 12:10 AM
MB….sorry about the confusion, you being arty I should have known better ;). I was originally a tanker.
That missing the ‘on the way’ part, that is how the gunner warns the crew to stand clear and hold on. All 55 tons rocked back as the 105 let go and landed square on the TCs nose as he looked through his range finder. The M60 was an unforgiving beast.
Limerick on May 17, 2008 at 12:10 AM
That was shared in honor of Indy’s goat.
