Love Prager. Thanks. I cannot listen to him anymore as my radio at work doesn’t get the station he is on here in the Phoenix area.

Thank God people are starting to recognize the true “Hate Mongers” in this country.

One of these days the politicians on our side might “get it”. Maybe something will “click”.

A good example to bring up is the seating for the SOTU address.

What the people want is for the new Republican House to be seated together as a show of solidarity with the people that elected them. It is the visual, a powerful message to the voters.

I have seen many on short interviews on TV that are purposely asked if they support mingling with the other side. Many beat around the bush and hum ho for FEAR they will be looked at as uncivil.

Wrong move republicans. Don't’ let the left set the narrative. They are doing this to weaken you and the perception that the voters have of you.

The GOP has been given a chance to really lead. So do it. LEAD and set the tone.

Well that’s the thing isn’t it?

Democrats hold views about Republicans which have been spoon fed to them since grade school AND the misinformation and bias has been systematically and perpetually reinforced through the MSM...PERIOD!!

Republicans hold views about Democrats resulting from an exacting and empirical assessment. WE look at their words, deeds, the candidates they support, the political/social models they have chosen for us AND their lack of proper regard for America... etc.

Which group has made the more intellectually mature and honest appraisal????

re: the seating for the SOTU address

Let's hope the Libs’ little ploy to spin their huge loss does not get very far.

Got to remember though, one of the tools in the MFM’s bag is to present something as a done-deal, when it's nothing more than how they would like it to be. No one lines to be left alone, swinging in the breeze. They will present the seating trick as though it's settled, as though only a few ‘loners’ won't be joining the demonstration of ‘unity’ at the SOTUS. And if they can, they will be sure to present TV coverage in such a way as to accentuate those who are in an active state of Kumbaya while ignoring the others.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. The next step for the MFM/Lefty cabal will be desperation. It will set in as they realize the audience knows the rabbit is really up the magician's sleeve, and that the pretty girl in the box is really two girls.

Truer words were never spoken. We have over forty years of evidence. They do it because it works.

The Left cannot stand on its ideology or its record. The first is appealing only to blocs that refuse to see beyond the superficial rhetoric of economic equality. And the latter is a history of failure, misery, and bloodshed.

Lacking a viable message supportive of their own agenda, they’re always reduced to advancing a message critical of their enemy. Conservatives are all flat-earth, witch-burning rustics whose primitive notions of government rest on a sort of unenlightened social Darwinism.

Another powerful visual will be those RINO Senators sitting there with the RATs.

Right there in front of us on display. A great reminder to those that keep reelecting the leftists with an R (or little r) heh, by their names.

That will make it much easier to see who goes on our notepads for defeat in the coming 2-4 years.

The fact that the Right didn’t just lie down when these scurrilous accusations were made perplexed the Left and, I believe, led them to increase the intensity of their attacks. The Left has done serious damage to itself, but doesn’t realize it yet.

Pay out the rope to the RINOS. They will hang themselves.

re: much easier to see who goes on our notepads for defeat in the coming 2-4 years

Absolutely! And it will be much easier to use the threat of an election day drumming out because the last round showed it can be done. In years past politicians knew they could simply ignore threats of being unelected because it happened so seldom. That’s changing, thank God, literally!

The possibility of having to make their way in the cruel hard world where you and I live is real for the first time in the careers of a lot of politicians. And well it should be.

Hopefully, 2010 will go down as the year the voters began to feel their oats. The example made of several incumbents, by either delivering a primary loss or scaring the hell out of them, will go a long way in making them appreciate the phrase “consent of the governed!”

Absolutely. Nice post!

I can guarantee you Dick Lugar will be sharing the seats with the Dems.

People here in Indiana are determined to see his forced retirement in 2012.

The left cannot just rest on the good graces of the right any longer.

Beware of the long suffering caring man who wakes to see he is being attacked maliciously and relentlessly absent remorse.....swift, surgical and overwhelming justice are his.

Americans are on the verge of the wake-up stage. The tsunami of awareness has barely gotten started.

There is talk radio, there is the Internet, there is Fox News - AND there are so many of us who have stood up and spoken out as Tea Partiers that most everyone knows many of us personally.

They’ve seen us at town hall meetings, they’ve seen us in peaceful demonstrations, they’ve seen us at the Lincoln Memorial honoring our heroes.

We’re neighbors and friends and coworkers and family, and they know that what the scurrilous Left is saying about us simply isn’t true.
