The Burdens We Bare (Glenn Beck)

Against my better judgment I am going to tell you what it is about Glenn Beck that pisses off libs.

Glenn beck is remarkably transparent. The aggravating thing is realizing that we have to share this country with so many people who can not see through his BS. Or simply choose not to see through him because they consider him a team mate.

It is not that he lies. Most media don't out right lie. They take a kernel of truth and apply gross generalities then obfuscation.

If I stub my toe on the the coffee table I am clumsy and by extension all libs are clumsy.

Obfuscation is distraction like a shell game. I point out bankruptcies from health care you say Van Jones.

If you took part in a peace protest in your teens you are a radical communist for life. The concept of changing your position due to additional knowledge and experience is foreign to people who once they pick a side fight till the death to justify that position regardless of changing times or new facts.

The bias is not in the facts. the bias is in which facts you choose, how you present them, the modifiers you use and how much weight you attribute to them.

Kermit is green.
Kermit the frog is green.
Kermit is a socialist, reptilian sock puppet capable of hiding in the bushes beside your front door due to his choice of colors. The very color of the sock he chose reveals his terrorist intent.

All frogs are terrorists and hate America.

All sock puppets and reptilians are evil socialists. They endanger your freedom.
The liberal media is trying to sweep this story under the rug. Why are they trying to hide this?

What they really want is control. They want to tell you who you can marry and they are coming for your guns.

They want to outlaw Christianity.

America rise up and rid our beloved country of sock puppets and reptiles. Chop down all the bushes and trees so they can't sneak up on you.

The Lessons of 9/11

"What would Obama have done if 9/11 had happened on his watch? Probably NOTHING!"

Right. Nothing except give a few speeches.
Would have saved us three trillion dollars. Thousand of lives. 4 1/2 million women and children refugees from Iraq having to sell themselves in Syria to feed the kids.

The CIA and FBI and the entire rest of the world would have found bin Laden and company and they would be rotting in dungeons some where and no one would know their names. Radical Islam would be shunned by everyone in every country as criminals.

If bin Laden was actually calling the shots they would have postponed it until a Republican got in office because they already tried to sucker Clinton into making them famous but he did not fall for it.

Thx to Bush he is world famous, gets funding and recruits from all over the world, had half the world thinking we are school yard bullies. Our military and economy is stretched to the breaking point.

So who won the War on Terror?

And the moral of the story is? We have been stabbing our "friends" in the back for many years, so it can't be that. It must be the money. Maybe it is "Don't piss off billionaires."

A friend has a brilliant employee he calls the "Persian Centerfold". I am not sure how she feels about that but her advice was get out of the oily sands. If you stop buying their oil they will go back to the lives they lived for centuries.

So does this mean that if Reagan had stayed with Carter's energy plan instead of pandering to Big Oil... It is all Reagan's fault! ;p

Climate Change, The Big Lie - Carolyn Patterson

.. as some of you may remember or not... I believe in global warming and we've been down this road before talking about Al Gore ... ;) however! even with my Pooh brain .... I can not see the bad side of declaring global warming.

If it is a scare tactic ... what or whom does it benefit? The government? the people who sell ice? authors and well hells bells, there have been a billion diet books written and there are still us fat people.... and we know we're going to die ... if we escape those morons in Peru .. we might live a little longer...

I digress... ;) ... since the 60s ... I have felt that traveling as I did/have ... the smog ... the aerosol sprays, the asbestos, DDT ... crop dusting in general, farts from cows and males on their ATVs and beers and beans ... TEXAS .... if you drive down in some areas, the smell of oil will knock you over.... the fumes...

If you drive up in parts of Arkansas ... the smell of poultry and hog farm waste will knock you over ... rivers and streams and lakes that I used to drink from as a kid are now polluted!!! there are some creeks and streams that have signs posted ... not safe for wading! wading??? much less drink! that is outrageous! ... global warming or not ... outrageous human behavior and greed has caused pollution with years to recover and make clean again ...

...incinerators with toxic waste ... where's it going? to Mars? or dissipates in our lovely clean air? right. Even air can become stagnant ... the galaxy aint THAT far away.... ... you ever come upon a rubber tire fire? outlawed! bury them? along with the nuclear waste from hospitals and such? landfills are full of toxic waste. People in the country have burn barrels where they will burn PLASTIC! and whatever ... even old tires and such... while it is against the law? .... who's gonna prosecute their brother in law?

....we'll soon be in a closet ... earth will become a closet ... full of stale air and stagnant water and that aint good and that aint from a book or research or focus groups or studies or scientists or what all ... it's from personal observances ... I can't sit in a room with heavy perfume, cigarette smoke or stale beer smells... if it's not good for me... then it can't be good for our little planet, Earth... cute cute orb... all fresh and blue and green ...

....manufacturers everywhere with their smoke stacks and such had to have regulations .... clinics who test bacteria and kill them by burning ... smells to high freakin heaven and the nuclear waste and the animal killing for food waste and the wood fires in Colorado causing fires to be regulated in fireplaces .... it's all a bunch of thises and thats.

It takes money to fix polluters' pollution but it can be done and has been done in a lot of places. However, with a bazillion types of fumes and such flying off into the wild blue yonder it is shrinking the yonder!

Running water while brushing your teeth and flushing the toilet every 10 seconds because you disposed of a nose blowing tissue and driving your car for commute purposes a hundred miles a day ... one person instead of car pooling or taking public transportation. .

I could write paragraphs more of raping ... oh, my God... clear cutting the forests and filling in of tidal lands ...strip mining!!!! they stopped it here in the Little Rock area but not before those gorgeous hills that were my view every time I crossed the bridge were gone and replaced with hideous mounds of raped forest and hills! making the area subject to even more flooding ... oh, on and on... it has to stop .. or Mother .... good ol Mother Nature will stop it for us. Kills me to hear and see these mutli billion mansions built on coastal or mountainous land that doesn't want them there.

Animals no longer live where they are supposed to ... bees don't do it any more and birds and animals are becoming extinct and so on... pregnant women are advised not to eat fish! fish! for God's sake... fish... mercury poisoning... if the pollution makes us sick and kills us... then what the hell is it doing to our planet? bathing it in massage oil?

I think conservation of our resources are necessary as you all obviously agree ... but these are man made intrusions and I believe that Mother Nature will eventually have enough of it and send for Noah and his fireproofed Ark.... and well, we better just get ourselves a ... fireproof environment going ... maybe that's why that idiot whatever was shot to the moon to see if there's water ... have mercy.

Human's thirst for money is killing this planet ... from killing Toucans for their bills? good lord! and animals for their furs to chopping down this and that and putting in concrete parking lots and high rise apartment/office buildings ...

I can tell you that when I lived in San Francisco in the late 60s ... and went back in the 80s? The numbskulls who built HUGE skyscrapers on FILLED in land!!! changed the climate... yes they did ... I'm on my soapbox... I really do get riled at the beauty of this country being overtaken by f'kng greed! hate it

I think I would prefer the greed of someone selling firesuits and ice.... snake oil ....

Carolyn !

Taking Our Country Back.

There is a way to take back our government which requires no outside help.

Send the good guys money.
If they don't have to depend on corporate money they can afford to vote in our interests.

Actually this is better than voting. They don't have to be your representative. And you have a Dislike button. You can send money to their opponent. Does not even have to be the other party.
I don't even think the amount of money makes that much difference.
You make a vote in Congress and your primary challenger suddenly gets a few thousand small donations? Somebody gonna be doin some crowin!

What do Conservative Mean?

What do Conservative Mean? A response to the attacks on the Liberal character

If a Con is eating a candy bar and sees you coming he will gobble it down so he does not have to share.
A Con will keep his gas tank empty so he has an excuse not to take his car.
A Con believes if you steal, you should steal from a friend because they won't prosecute.
If a Con comes to dinner you hide the jewelry. If the End is good enough they can always justify the means. (Torture)
If a Con loses his job he will collect unemployment. IF you need to collect unemployment he will tell you to get a job.
A Con will use Medicare and call for government to get out of health care.
If a Con had to walk across the desert she would drink all her water before she started for two reasons. 1. It is heavy. 2. She might meet someone else who needs some. (Drill here. Drill now) She will die of thirst and blame it on Libs for being too lazy to bring her some water.

A Con believes the first thing someone tells them and then spends the rest of his life defending that belief against all liberal facts. (Facts have a liberal bias)
A Con Believes his children should never learn anything his parents do not believe or think that they know. Hence, the attacks on education.
A Con is born a sinner and requires threats and occasional violence to behave.
A Con believes sending his neighbor's children overseas to dodge bullets is worth reducing the infinitesimal chance that he will have to deal with the threat personally even though he has a display case full of weapons designed to kill people for his own protection.
A Con believes cooperation is socialism unless you are cooperating with the competition - then it is called capitalism. <- Thx to Ron Autry on this one.

A Day in the Life of a True Conservative

A Day in the Life of a True Conservative - Anonymous

Joe Conservative wakes up in the morning and goes to the bathroom. He flushes his toilet and brushes his teeth, mindful that each flush & brush costs him about 43 cents to his privatized water provider. His wacky, liberal neighbor keeps badgering the company to disclose how clean and safe their water is, but no one ever finds out. Just to be safe, Joe Conservative boils his drinking water.

Joe steps outside and coughs–the pollution is especially bad today, but the smokiest cars are the cheapest ones, so everyone buys ‘em. Joe Conservative checks to make sure he has enough toll money for the 3 different private roads he must drive to work. There is no public transportation, so traffic is backed up and his 10 mile commute takes an hour.

On the way, he drops his 12 year old daughter off at the clothing factory she works at. Paying for kids to go to private school until they’re 18 is a luxury, and Joe needs the extra income coming in. Times are hard and there’re no social safety nets.

He gets to work 5 minutes late and misses the call for Christian prayer, and is immediately docked by his employer. He is not feeling well today, but has no health insurance, since neither his employer nor his government provide it, and paying for it himself is really expensive, since he has a precondition. He just hopes for the best.

Joe’s workday is 12 hours long, because there is no regulation over working hours, and Joe will lose his job if he complains or unionizes. Today is an especially bad day. Joe’s manager demands that he work until midnight, a 16 hour day. Joe does, knowing that he’ll lose his job if he does not.

Finally, after midnight, Joe gets to pick up his daughter and go home. His daughter shows him the deep cut she got on the industrial sewing machine today. Joe is outraged and asks why she doesn’t have metal mesh gloves or other protection. She says the company will not provide it and she’ll have to pay for it out of her own pocket. Joe looks at the wound and decides they’ll use an over the counter disinfectant and bandages until it heals. She’ll have a scar, but getting stitches at the emergency room is expensive.

His daughter also complains that the manager made suggestive overtures towards her. Joe counsels her to be a “good girl” and not rock the boat, or she’ll get fired and they’ll be out the income.

His daughter says she can’t wait until she’s 18 so she can vote for change or go to the Iraq War.

They get home and there’s a message from his elderly father who can’t afford to pay his medical or heating bills. Joe can hear him coughing and shivering.

Joe turns on the radio and the top story is a proposal in Congress to raise the voting age to 25. A rare liberal opinionator states that it’s an attempt to keep power out of the hands of working class Americans. The conservative host immediately quashes him, calling him “a utopian idealist,” and agreeing that people aren’t mature enough to make good choices until they’re at least 25.

Joe chuckles at the wine-swilling, cheese eating liberal egghead and thinks, “Thank God I live in America where I have freedom!”

A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican

A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican by John Gray

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.


Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
