  • DUmmie FUnnies 05-27-08 (DUmmie Spins "Recount" Fiction)

    DUmmie FUnnies ^ | May 27, 2008 | DUmmie Lorien, DUmmies, and PJ-Comix
    I had intended to do no more than one DUFU edition based on the HBO fiction movie Recount which you can see in yesterday's DUmmie FUnnies EDITION. However, DUmmie Lorien has spun a Florida Recount fiction so egregious in its mendacity that I am not only DUFUing his/her THREAD titled, "RECOUNT: My own Florida election day 2000 nightmare" but I am also calling out DUmmie Lorien as a flat out LIAR. This DUmmie's entire thread post has the odor of fraud hanging all over it but the most blatant indication that it is a LIE is the accusation that...
  • 6 Years Later The IAEA Concludes: Iran Not Cooperating

    Politically Drunk On Politics ^ | 05/27/2006 | Jarid Brown
    Yesterday the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, issued a scathing report highlighting Iran’s continued lack of cooperation with the agency. This report amounts to the culmination of 6 years of bureaucratic failure by the UN. Before we touch on the report, perhaps we should look at what the UN has accomplished in 6 years... ...If the UN Couldn't Do It, The British Couldn't Do It, The French Couldn't Do It, The Russians Couldn't Do It, and the EU Couldn't Do It, why does Obama think "YES WE CAN"?...

    Right Up Front ^ | May 27, 2008 | Aaron Schwitters
    Conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg often jokes that Jimmy Carter is history's greatest monster. It's a line that's ha-ha funny because it's absurd on it's face--whether you hate Jimmy Carter or... um, really hate him, he's a generally harmless old podunk fart, right? Well, unfortunately it seems Jimmy is doing his best to live up (down?) to his moniker.

    While visiting New York in 2005, Nita Ambani was in the spa at the Mandarin Oriental New York, overlooking Central Park. The contemporary Asian interiors struck her just so, and prompted her to inquire about the designer, Forbes reports. Nita Ambani was no ordinary tourist. She is married to Mukesh Ambani, head of Mumbai-based petrochemical giant Reliance Industries... Forbes estimated Ambani’s net worth at $43 billion in March.

    Mr Rawles, I have been a survival blog reader for over a year now, and my hat is off to you, sir. "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse", and the information presented on these pages have been extremely positive influences in my planning and preparations. While I have been, to this point, content to absorb the wealth of knowledge presented here, I was compelled by a recent post to submit this correspondence. In [the letter posted on Sunday] titled "Clash of World Views”, David D. makes the claim that “We’ve had our grand experiment in deregulation and the magic of the...

    After this, I cannot WAIT until McCain gets to actually debate Obama in front of a live audience. Obama's gonna get schooled, son! First, Obama tried to make McCain look like he didn't care about veterans. Bad move number one. Here's Obama's statement: "I respect Sen. John McCain's service to our country," Obama said on the Senate floor this morning. "He is one of those heroes of which I speak. But I can't understand why he would line up behind the president in opposition to this GI Bill. I can't believe why he believes it is too generous to our...

    Red State Blue ^ | 26 of May 2008 | David Aronin
    The epic struggle against Soviet Communism lasted over 40 years. Our victory when it came was sudden and unexpected. And, many of the most bitter struggles that marked its course were fought in shadows, the men and women who waged them un-named, hence forgotten. But, even the memory of many of the most public of its campaigns - including those in which thousands of American fighting men fought and died - have also largely faded from public consciousness as well. The Korean War is primary amongst these almost forgotten theatres of conflict. I.e. particularly those which occurred during the early...

    The Diplomad ^ | May 7, 2008 | Diplomad
    Have a few minutes to spare? Go to "Google," type in the phrase "highly educated voters," hit "Search News." Go ahead. We'll wait . . . OK, what do you get? All sorts of stories about Obama voters, and how he attracts the "highly educated." You will get the same from the pundits on network and cable news: lots of blather about how Obama appeals to "highly educated" Americans. That, of course, is just more MSM "spin doctor" nonsense and we conservatives let them get away with it. We heard the same song when John "Xmas in Cambodia" Kerry ran...

    It is now official: The DUmmies hate Hillary more than anyone else on earth--more than Bush, more than Cheney or Rove, more than Bill Belicheat and the New England Patriots. In fact, they may hate Hillary more than anyone in the history of all known universes. The DUmmies are in high DUdgeon--indeed, DUmmieland has broken out into full-blown HDS (Hillary Derangement Syndrome)--over her recent rationale for staying in the race: "Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June." WELL, you would think Hillary herself was about to hire Bosnian snipers to take out Barry on the tarmac! Witness this monster THREAD,"HILLARY...

    Last night HBO ran their fiction movie Recount. You can see the TRAILER above of this movie in which, predictably, the Democrats come off as innocent little lambs who allowed the 2000 election to be stolen from them by EVIL vicious Republicans. The reality, of course, is that Democrats flooded Florida with high-powered attorneys and tried to lawyer their way to victory. To put this "stolen election" into proper perspective check out this NewsBusters ARTICLE which demonstates that recounts conducted by USA Today and a consortium of newspapers, most of them liberal, shows that Bush won in every subsequent...

    The Husaria: For Our Freedom and Yours ^ | 05/26/08 | Winged Hussar 1683
    Actions speak louder than words, and Obama's actions show total contempt for our men and women in uniform. Barack Obama issued a statement about Memorial Day, but actions speak far more loudly than words. Let’s see what Barack Hussein Obama’s ACTIONS say about our men and women in uniform. Let’s begin with Barry’s response to the Star Spangled Banner, which commemorates the defense of Fort McHenry by American soldiers. Note that everyone in the picture except for Barack Obama has his or her hand over his/her heart. (A YouTube video shows ten or so people on the platform, to the...
