“Affirmative action as we know it and as it is applied
is actually nothing more than American apartheid.”

Kerry, Obama, Biden attack electorate
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.” – John Kerry
Vice President Joe Biden recently urged the party’s base to “stop whining” and “buck up.” President Obama also urged the party to “buck up.”
Wiretap charges dismissed in videotaping of trooper
A judge threw out criminal charges Monday against a Maryland man who videotaped his traffic stop by a plainclothes state trooper and posted the video on YouTube.
Harford County Circuit Judge Emory A Plitt Jr wrote in his ruling: “In this rapid information technology era in which we live, it is hard to imagine that either an offender or an officer would have any reasonable expectation of privacy with regard to what is said between them in a traffic stop on a public highway.”

Hypocrite of Omaha Buffett says Taxpayers need to get over anger
“I hope we get over it pretty soon, because it’s not productive. We will come back regardless of how people feel about Washington, but it is not helpful to have people as unhappy as they are about what’s going on in Washington.” Warren Buffett, published Sept 24, 2010
Warren Buffett -the hypocrite who thinks people should pay more taxes themselves and then shelters his income and assets- needs to wake up. Freedom and big government are incompatible. Deficit and debt are not the paths to prosperity.
Obama skips “by their Creator” in Declaration of Independence
Earlier today (Sept 15, 2010), President Obama recited the Declaration of Independence as: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal… endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” And added “That’s what makes us unique. That’s what makes us strong.”
The actual Declaration states:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Update September 19, 2010: We have a link to the YouTube video:
Obligatory McCain-Feingold-incumbent-protection mandated message
The “paid for” message at the end of this ad includes the observant and accurate “Obligatory McCain-Feingold-incumbent-protection-mandated message”. This disclaimer should be at the end of every political ad.
The ad is one of the most creative ones in a long time!
The idea that we would burn the sacred texts of someone else’s religion is contrary to what this country stands for. Its contrary to what this country, nation was founded on. Obama
“The idea that we would burn the sacred texts of someone else’s religion is contrary to what this country stands for. Its contrary to what this country, nation was founded on.” President Obama, Sept 10, 2010
Really?
“Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday. ” CNN, May 22, 2009
Double standards anyone?
Prankster has to find out about Verizon’s privacy policy from CEO
This is great (we may be posting a funny story detailing how Verizon attorneys do not know the difference between singular (no, not Cingular) and plural). For the full story, go here.
Senator Baucus admits to not reading bills he votes on
“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language. We hire experts.” Senator Max Baucus, Democrat, Montana, August 24, 2010
You are a disgrace to the title “Senator” and should be ashamed of yourself. Senator Baucus should resign.
Will McCain fool Arizona voters once again?
The headline AP “McCain, Tacking Right, Seeks Primary Victory” says all you need to know to understand Senator McCain. When you have no core values and no core principles, it is easy to “tack right.” McCain is a duplicitous politician who is willing to change his views depending upon the direction of the wind in order to retain his power. The McCain voting record speaks for itself and it is foolish to think that “this time is different” and McCain won’t turn into a RINO after the polls close today.
