| No One Believes Me - About "Bubbles" the Kitten |
| 2008-05-17 00:46:06 |
FRIDAY, MAY 16Did I tell you I had to go out and buy a camcorder to capture the further adventures of Miss Beverly Sills, AKA Bubbles Silverman? No one believes me when I tell them what she does. Yesterday she was walking across the railing that surrounds my dining room. I use the dining table as a desk. There is a months' old Amazon box on the table where all the family tries to sleep. Bat Masterson is the usual occupant. He's slightly crippled and a little slow moving. He jumps up on the table to get to the ......

| When Did “Conservative” Mean Goose-Stepping Loss of Individuality? |
| 2008-05-17 00:14:10 |
MOVEMENT CONSERVATIVESYesterday evening I finally realized one of the problems bothering me when it comes to today’s non-Republican conservatives. How about a quote from Ann Coulter: “…And I think what happened today demonstrates that the movement conservatives, or the radical right wing as we're being called, is the one with the power in this relationship, the power in the country. That is to say, as I have been arguing since the Roberts nomination, yes, it would be fine if Bush nominated a wonderful, qualified conservative like Janice Rogers Brown. Even if she's defeated, that is a victory for ......

| Who Ordered the Conservative "Hit" on Lindsey? |
| 2008-05-16 21:41:21 |
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTUREQuin Hillyer wrote one of the nastiest hit pieces I’ve seen to date against Lindsey. Naturally he is channeling Michelle Malkin who has this pathological hatred of Lindsey. I think it’s because she dislikes anything Hispanic and Lindsey is not exactly a bigot, and sorta implied that she and her precious little friends are. I guess since she is promoting Buddy Witherspoon, we all know who is handling her leash – the John Tanton crowed. She’s also part of what I call the Dump Lindsey Movement. It’s all part of certain non-Republican ......

IT’S A WARDROBE THING(a non serious commentary)“Guess what? You and Hillary wore the very same jacket yesterday.”“I did not.”“There was a clip of her on FOX. She was wearing that same peachy colored jacket you wore yesterday.”First, my mother is NOT voting for Hillary. Not to worry. She is still voting for John McCain. I think it’s a St. John Thing. My mother has been wearing St. John Knits since the company began in 1962. When the first collection was introduced the prices were right in step with the times. She could buy an ......

Everyone going into their saloon was happy! It was like a holiday. “Happy Rainy Day”! It is the first real moisture we’ve had here since January. Things were getting terribly dry to the point of danger – Extreme Fire Hazard. This will help us crawl through until the monsoons begin on the 4th of July.

Mccain">JOHN MCCAIN - 2013John McCain's historic speech delivered at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, in Columbus, OH, today at 10:00 a.m. EDT"Thank you. The hectic but repetitive routine of presidential campaigns often seems to consist entirely of back and forth charges between candidates, punctuated by photo ops, debates and the occasional policy speech, followed by another barrage of accusations and counter accusations, formulated into the soundbites preferred by cable news producers. It is a little hypocritical for candidates or reporters to criticize these deficiencies. They are our creation. Campaigns and the media collaborated as architects of the ......

WEDNESDAY, MAY 14I don’t know when I have been so angry while blogging. What Mark Levin did today on his radio show was the most deplorable thing I’ve heard for a long time. Right now I’m just trying to cool off before I say something I am going to regret. My frustration level is reaching the boiling point. The cats are driving me crazy. Rumsfeld is acting like the little monster he is. Then I can’t send out my email – or maybe I am and there are a few poor souls who will be receiving a dozen ......

CONSERVATIVE NOT REPUBLICANFor months I've been telling you that there are certain conservatives who are no more Republican than Barack Obama is. Mark Levin just proved me correct. This is the WORST piece of you know what I've ever heard. This needs to end - now. Right now I am absolutely furious. I don't know when I have been so angry. We are dealing with people who are so warped that they do not comprehend they have destroyed the "brand" they once embraced. Maybe Mark Levin needs to go back and read the Contract with America.

Unlike this gloom and doom blame everything on GWB post from Race 42008, President Bush IS NOT the problem! We all know all the little cowardly conservatives who dance around the anti-immigration bonfire singing the sky is falling, and deport 'em all are the ones who are to blame. They sound more like Barack Obama who doesn't have the intellectual capacity or the maturity to shoulder the blame himself. They are ......

| John McCain's "Evil" Sell-Out on Global Warming? |
| 2008-05-13 22:09:18 |
IS HE JUST PLAIN SMART?(or) ARE CONSERVATIVES BETRAYING MCCAIN?John McCain betrayed conservatives yesterday when he caved to the dastardly theology of "Global Warming". Or did he? He addressed the problems of global climate change, which even the most conservative of thinkers acknowledges is occurring. Anyone who follows science news knows something is happening out there. Frankly, I go with the theory that humans aren't important enough in the great scheme of things to completely disrupt the planet unless they blow it up with a bunch of nukes. I don't see a Death Star anywhere, so until the Grand ......

THE CULT OF OBAMAEarlier today, I received an email. I cannot go into the details other than the fact that evidently, in order for a person to get tickets to an Obama event, they must sell their souls to work for Obama. Tickets require work. Work includes going door to door like certain religions (think about the one Michael Jackson belongs too) seeking converts. I emailed back and told her this sounds like some sort of a cult. Low and behold (heavenly choir please as a beam of light shines from the heavens onto Obama's saintly head) I find ......

IT'S THE DRUGS NOT THE ILLEGALSThe Juarez style "narco-crimes" are now invading Tucson in the "narco" community. This is going to become more and more the norm all along the border as Mexico's narco-war invades the US. It makes a person wonder why the House Democrats want to cut anti-drug aid to Mexico just when the nation needs it the most! Fortunately, we have a GOP Presidential nominee who "Gets it"."...Until now, Republicans and Democrats had tried to make as little noise as possible about the Bush administration's Mérida Initiative, a request for $500 million to help Mexico ......

SUNDAY, MAY 11I want to set the record straight on a few things. First, I am conservative. I am not “A Conservative”. I am conservative. My conservative values have NEVER changed – except for my views on capital punishment. I was for it, but then when I really began thinking about the pro-life implications, I cannot support it. I do not believe in taking a person’s life – no matter who. My only exception is for treason and then just shoot ‘em where they stand. This is the only thing about my conservative views that has changed. I want ......

THE CONSERVATIVE CANARD“…"Forty to fifty percent of the conservative leaders that I talk to at the national and state level either want the Republican to lose in November, or are ambivalent about it." Since the beginning of the movement, "We took the long range view. We didn't put all our eggs in any one election. We said that this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon." Viguerie said that he's telling his conservative friends not "to fear defeat." After all, GOP loses in 1964, 1974, 1976 and 1992 "cleaned out a lot of dead wood" from the Republican Party. ......

Well, it appears as though Strieber might be correct. He wrote: “…The reason for this is that Asian demand remains explosively high due to ......

ARE CHAVEZ, FARC INVOLVED IN MEXICOIf you think illegal immigration is bad now, just wait. If what I think is happening, we are in for a massive tide of illegal immigration – refugees fleeing the growing narco-war in Mexico. This is a war, perhaps involving Hugo Chavez, the FARC, and his plans to undermine Mexico and bring terror to the border. Our precious little conservatives, who are pandering to hard-line racists who have nothing to do with the GOP are diverting money that needs to go into the fight against narco-terror.

There are a heck of a lot of questions I would like to ask, such as: When did you last use illegal substances? But I am behaving myself. The Dems have a problem here. Barack Obama is not a good candidate. Roger Simon has put it so succinctly – Obama is not the man for our times. I think this puts Barack Obama into perspective.

I am noticing a growing trend within conservative (extreme, not Republican) blog ranks to classify La Raza as racist. Along with that, there seems to be this under tone that maybe Hispanics are less than acceptable. Or, if they are, we’re talking “OUR” Hispanics and the other (UPPITY) Hispanics. Let’s face some very nasty facts here. The same individuals who fought against the Civil Rights reforms and integration in the Sixties are the very ones helping to promote hard-line immigration reform. Does ......

Anything Mexican is bad – evil, evidently. “…The point is, a lot of Americans look at anyone who waves a Mexican flag as secretly planning to take over the Southwest and hand it to Mexico. But they don’t suggest that anyone waving the Israeli flag - or the Irish flag, or the Italian flag or whatever - has something similar up his sleeve. In those cases, most people are likely to think that the display is harmless and that all ......

Over the next few days I am going to be concentrating on the problems the GOP is facing with conservatives. It isn't that "conservative" is the problem. The problem is the fact that there is an entire breed of conservative that is not GOP and basically is wishing for the demise of the GOP.
