Geez, Melancholy! Ye gettin’ downright maudlin!

It's about time to stop crap "assigning" crap to shove crap down our throats. They should all go down the crapper, period.

If they do, we have to upgrade the sewer system to Titanium piping and relief system!

Correction to my previous post: deification ----> defecation

MSM--->0b0z0 & his crew---->deification. That will end up in a huge defecation!

My apology for being graphic but, that’s what they deserve.

New definition:

truth = smear

Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.


That’s the damned truth! Hitler and his Propaganda Minister Goebbels would be proud of 0bamaboy.

Mark Lloyd, the “Diversity Director at FCC” needs to join Van Jones under the bus. As you know, Glenn has featured him too and Rush is on Lloyd’s case too.

We’re living in terribly dangerous but also exciting times. With trust in God and with His blessing, I have no doubt we will prevail.

I usually have trouble falling asleep because I’m mad. Tonight, I’m excited, but I need to call it a night so I can go to early Mass and get back in time for the Sunday shows.

Prayers for all, and an extra for Glenn Beck.

NOTHING on Drudge or CNN .... yet!

If this happened in Pres. Bush’s admin, you
can bet they’d have broken in with Breaking
News trumpeting it and had it blasting from
their website.

Breitbart linked FROM Drudge has this:

But zero on Drudge

You’ve really got to understand that the term “oreo” is dynamite when used in the wrong context. Where Obama’s concerned, it doesn’t actually apply.

You’d just get megatons of grief for no good reason if you started calling him that in the wrong places.

‘Course, you’ll get a lot of grief for just telling the plain truth about Obama in the “wrong” places.

Yup

Saul Alinski, George Carlin, Thomas Paine, General Patton, and El Rushbo would all agree:

- Personalize
- Isolate outside their area of expertise
- Ridicule
- Stomp
- Repeat
- Enjoy

I grabbed that little .gif from a diecast website early in the wee hours this morning

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.

...and to report that it means the AP had to think that was an admirable trait of obama's!

The LGFers are spazzing out, especially Chas.

That pleases me greatly. Couldn't have happened to a bigger douche.

Thank you. I wish you the same. You’ve been very sweet to me.

I’ll check this thread tomorrow morning.

Good night everyone. I am very happy to be here.

Saturday night at midnight!!! How predictable. The bad thing is that Anderson Cooper, Couric, Williams and Gibson are way to dumb to even notice.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention Ernest, THAT is my animated bus at post 270.

The bus Kcvl posted has a url from TheodoresWorld.net. http://www.theodoresworld.net/pics/0708/ObamaBus.gif

You can see the name has been removed from the back end. I have found other of my animations on her site with names removed. Don't know who she is but she 'claims' she gets them that way...seems to reoccur!
