The Green Convention

Posted by bob's my uncle on Thursday, August 28, 2008 12:31:13 PM
Mark Davis, WBAP 820 talk show host, reports from the "really green" DNC  in Denver.  It seems the Dems are separating their disposables into different receptacles: ie. "recyclable", "compostable", and "landfill".  He has observed that the janitorial staff collects the contents of these receptacles, not in separate bins, but in the same trash bin.
Ah, you gotta love these Algore greenies.

And Now A Word From Ronaldus Maximus

Posted by bob's my uncle on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 12:30:36 AM

With all of the B.S. going on over at the Democrat Convention in Denver, I needed some balance.  Nobody has said it so well for more than 20 years.


'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose..'- Ronald Reagan

'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' - Ronald Reagan

'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.' - Ronald Reagan

'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'
- Ronald Reagan

'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.' - Ronald Reagan

'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'
- Ronald Reagan

'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'
- Ronald Reagan


'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.' - Ronald Reagan

'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.' - Ronald Reagan

'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.' - Ronald Reagan

'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.' - Ronald Reagan

'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'- Ronald Reagan

'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God , then we will be a nation gone under.'- Ronald Reagan


God I miss him.

527 Obama/Ayers Ad Draws Blood

Posted by bob's my uncle on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 6:10:19 PM
It is obvious that the new ad tying Barack Obama to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers has hit a sore spot.  They have tried unsuccessfully to intimidate and sic the law on stations running the ad.  Hey B.H.O., free speech runs BOTH WAYS!  At least it still does in this country until you get your grubby little communist community organizer paws on the reigns of power.  You have been exposed as the anti-American, Communist loving traitor that you are.  Yes, I said "anti-American"!  I say it because you don't love this country, you love the country you think "it could/should be".  You love some Socialist/Communist Utopian America that does not exist, but you hope one day will.  You love the America that you hope to bring about with you in the highest office in the land.  Yet, you can't let this gain purchase in the American zeitgeist because it is so true.

Just When I Thought it Was Gonna Be OK.

Posted by bob's my uncle on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 10:53:46 PM
After hearing much praise and adulation for John McCain for his recent candid appearance at the Saddleback Church, I started to get used to the idea of John McCain as President of the United States.  I even found that I was experiencing some excitement about the idea when I heard some clips of his very real and down-to-earth answers to Pastor Rick's questions. 
Then I began to hear rumors of his VP pick to be announced very soon.  I have been hearing names like Tom Ridge (pro-choice), and Joe Leiberman?  This is the very problem I have had with Senator McCain all along.  He cares nothing for conservative ideology, so he often goes along with advancing the liberal agenda.
If McCain's pick for Vice President is not a bona fide Conservative, to HELL with it!

Apocalypse Now?

Posted by bob's my uncle on Monday, August 18, 2008 1:10:08 PM
Let's see.  The revived Russian Bear is on the move against our allies in eastern Europe and the Caucasus and the Chinese Communists are cheating at the Olympics.  (Imagine that.)   Islamofascism is back on its heels, but still a threat and advancing their cause in the West with characteristic patience.  Iran continues to threaten Israel and the West with possible nuclear weapons.  Mexico continues its invasion across our southern border and I see no evidence that that threat is being taken seriously in our government.   Despite the fact that oil supply/demand margins are still too slim for comfort, our Democrat controlled congress is refusing to entertain the thought of exploring and drilling for our own vast reserves, or using the massive amounts of coal at our disposal, or building nuclear reactors, or anything that might work to help us reduce our dependence on foreign oil. 

We continue to support regimes that hate us and wish every day for our demise.  Many of us refuse to believe that this is a dangerous world, ruled by the agressive use of force.  If we stand by and let evil regimes exercise force without answer, then evil will stand and good will fail.

The world is on the edge.  What did it feel like in Americal in 1939 - 1941 before Pearl Harbor?  Was it a feeling similar to this?  Everything's fine, just ignore what's going on in Europe and Asia . . . just before we were plunged into an Apocalyptic World War? 

How many millions of lives were lost or ruined by WWII?  How many if we had not fought and defeated the NAZI's, Fascists, and Imperial Japanese?  Just remember, they were doing a fine job of eliminating state enemies and undesirables, and stealing their individual wealth prior to the U.S. entering the war. 

If we do not strengthen our nation and our resolve; if we do not stop this silly notion of moral equivalency between Christianity and Islam, between Democracy and Communism/Socialism, between the U.S. ridding the world of the evil dictator Saddam Hussein and Russian imperialist aggression in Georgia; if we fail to recognize evil when we see it and face it down when it raises its ugly head in the world, then I believe that War is inevitable.  Because evil is encouraged by weakness.  Weakness gives way to aggression.  If we are weak and unresolved, if we fail to stand up for goodness and right, we will be on the losing end.

Madame Pelosi, Tear Down This Wall!

Posted by bob's my uncle on Tuesday, August 05, 2008 12:26:34 PM
It seems that the Democrats cannot stand an open debate on any subject that they know is a loser for them.  Like the Communists of old, Ms. Pelosi just shuts down any debate to the contrary.  In the House of Representatives on Friday, after a hastily called 5-week recess, some of  the House Republicans stayed in the chamber to continue debate on expanding our country's energy exploration.  This in spite of the fact that the Speaker had ordered the lights and cameras turned off.  Go House Republicans!  With $4 a gallon gasoline and projected record winter season heating costs for many Americans, the Democrat's stifling the debate is a big loser issue for them.  THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Apparently, I'm not the only one who sees a communist party parallel.  Republican Policy Chairman, Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) was quoted as saying, "This is the People’s House. This is not Pelosi’s Politburo."  What do Communist dictators do to the opposition?  They try to silence them, if they can.  I am not saying that all Democrats are Communists or even Socialists.  But I do want to point out that the current leadership of the House and Senate are trying very hard to silence their opposition through strong-arm tactics and their stated desires of a redistributionist, socialist society, with them in control of more and more of our everyday lives, leaving us with less and less FREEDOM!

A Few Thoughts About Global Warming

Posted by bob's my uncle on Friday, July 25, 2008 2:09:20 PM
It is July here in Texas, and it's hot. But guess what, its always hot in Texas in July. Well that's the weather report.

But here's my take on the assertion that global warming is caused by human productivity. If the Earth is truly in a warming cycle, all of science, history, archeology, and the larnin' I done when I was just a little tyke tells me that it ain't nothin' new. We know there have been historically warmer and cooler epochs in pre-history and historical eras. And as far as I know, there weren't any SUV's or Power Plants or Nukes or enough human activity to make dent at the time.

The "Global Warming Hystericals" haven't proved a thing. All they've got going for them is an apocalyptic fear of some imagined disastrous future and a fraudulent faith that anything man does is harmful to the Earth and Nature, so therefore, man is causing Global Warming.

I am highly suspicious of people who think that all of a sudden our world will come to an end and want to take control over large portions of my life and not to mention the world's commerce in order to save it. What better way to put everyone under control than to convince them that if we don't do as they say, the world will end. That is the essence of their message. They want to control your world. Make you stop driving your car. No grilling in the backyard! Oh, forget about going to work to make a living and put food on the table, your job will disappear because it probably causes pollution, anyway. Get in line for the Government cheese. Oh, wait a minute! Cheese comes from cows, and cows produce methane (a greenhouse gas) in large quantities. No more cows, no more cheese. You're going to have to eat dirt.

All this while Al Gore lives in two mansions and has a bigger "carbon footprint" than I will ever hope to have. Make no mistake. This whole thing, for those who are pushing it the hardest, is about taking control of you, your life, your government, the world. Because, only they can save us.
