POSTER OPPORTUNITY Photos of Mall, post: Beck Restores Honor, and post: Obama Left Trash

You can download this as a Word document, to print out & surprise a liberal, here. George W. Bush proposed to quadruple the U.S. debt, which took two centuries to accumulate, in one year. What kind of world was he trying to leave us with? George W. Bush flew over a badly flood-ravaged state, on his way to a swanky fundraiser, without so much as a stopover. Was he not heartless? George W. Bush visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language". Does that not tell you he was ignorant? George W. Bush spent hundreds of thousands of...

ABC’s Jordyn Phelps reports: President Obama may have a thing or two to learn from Tiger Woods’ golf game, according to an upcoming article in the January edition of Golf Digest. But In light of the recent controversy surrounding Tiger Woods’ car crash, there are likely more ways in which the President may wish to distinguish himself from the golf star. The article lists ten things that the President could learn from the ultra-successful golf star in improving his performance as president, and vice versa, from the perspective of several prominent writers and players. The magazine cover is a photoshopped...

Below are direct quotes from either from the Democrat Party or from the Communist Party USA. The challenge is to read each comment, categorized by topic, then decide if the quote came from the Democrats or the Communists...

The Ugly Job Loss Chart Keeps Getting Uglier John Carney|Oct. 2, 2009, 5:10 PM | 1,538 |9 Catherine Rampell at Economix has updated this miserable chart, showing job losses in this recession compared to recent ones (expressed as a percentage of peak employment). The dark blue line that just keeps heading down represents current recession. Since the official start of the recession in December 2007, the economy has had a net loss of about 5.2 percent of its nonfarm payroll jobs. The horizontal axis measures the number of months since the recession started. The vertical axis measures the share of...

I have been doing some research analyzing photos and crowd data to try and ascertain the crowd size of the 9/12/09 Tea Party protests (which I blogged on here). It seems the best, most recent reference point is President Obama’s inauguration, which was estimated at 1.8-2.0 million people. If you look at the pictures from last January’s Inauguration it looks at first glance like the Obama crowds dwarfed the Tea Party crowds. The Tea Party Crowds did not extend back the Washington Monument (there were other events on the Mall yesterday). On the flip side, the inauguration is a controlled,...

Obama Reagan debateREAGAN V OBAMAReagan and Obama supporters

This is the result of an OBAMA tax cut estimator on line. I just used the calculator and mailed this result to my three single, voting-aged children: How much will Barack Obama cut your taxes? Despite the facts laid out in the presidential candidates' published tax policies, half of Americans still believe that Barack Obama will raise their taxes. Barack Obama would cut my taxes by: $468.76 John McCain would cut my taxes by: $760.34 Barack Obama would cut my taxes by: $-291.58000000000004 more than John McCain. Except that on line 3, the number is negative, meaning that, clearly, McCain...

Pick your "new" thingBy Leslie J. SacksBarack Obama is perfectly suited in the running for president. He has the ability to both energize and grow the grassroots base, to motivate voters with his superb eloquence and confidence. As a result, he has broken for all time the racial glass ceiling on viable presidential candidates, an accomplishment for which America should be grateful. Based on many current polls, he might very well succeed in his quest for the presidency. On the other hand, Obama, according to a good portion of the country, is not yet experienced enough, and does not...

Can any Freepers help point me in the direction of a chart on the policy differences of McCain and Obama? My middle of the road friends are interested and the ones I have found are blatantly liberal biased (surprise!) If not, send a conservative biased chart so I can at least balance their garbage!

 

This link takes you to a side by side comparison of the qualifications of Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. I'd love to be able to post the entire table but I don't know how to format it to post properly, besides the Blog that did all this work deserves the traffic. This is a must read!! http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/aug/30/tale-of-the-tape-sarah-palin-vs-barack-obam/

Palin should be compared with Obama in ads. The Democrat VP should not be mentioned at all. The proper comparison is of persons who could fill the top spot, not the second spot. Palin is far superior to Obama in experience and that is the juxtaposition that should be made. Please forgive the vanity. This is a a thought that I want RNC to see in case they have not thought of it themselves.

A matrix delineating and examining issues on which Senators McCain and Obama differ significantly - an informational resource Introduction Much of this piece was originally published this past April under the title "On McCain." In addition to the matrix mentioned above, that article included an amount of additional commentary which this version does not. But, where that piece was an editorial, this one is intended basically as an informational resource - one largely aimed at those who already support Sen McCain and are seeking to convince wavering conservatives to support him as well. It is therefore naturally inclined towards a...

(IsraelNN.com) United Nations investigator Richard Falk said Tuesday in an interview with the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) that he stood by a statement he made in 2007 comparing Israel to Nazi Germany. He said his “provocative” remark was meant to raise awareness of the suffering of Gaza Arabs. If the remark had been made regarding Sudan’s treatment of Darfur, where hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions forced out of their homes, “I think there would be no reluctance to make that comparison,” Falk said. The reason people are more willing to compare Sudan to Nazi Germany than Israel...

Two New Navy Ships USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76) Seeing it next to the Arizona Memorial really puts its size into perspective... ENORMOUS. BEAUTIFUL! When the Bridge pipes "Man the Rail" there is a lot of rail to man on this monster: shoulder to shoulder, around 4.5 acres. Her displacement is about 100,000 tons with full complement. Capability Top speed exceeds 30 knots, powered by two nuclear reactors that can operate for more than 20 years without refueling. 1. Expected to operate in the fleet for about 50 years. 2. Carries over 80 combat aircraft. 3. Three arresting cables can...

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon poured more than $1 billion into bonuses last year to keep soldiers and Marines in the military in the face of an unpopular war and battlefield deployments that are getting longer and more frequent. The incentives — including tax-free payments for those who re-enlist while in the war zone — have jumped nearly sixfold since 2003, the year the war in Iraq began. "It helps a lot of guys out," said Sgt. 1st Class Richard Doran, who re-enlisted late last year during his tour in Iraq. "And I think it does sway some of the decisions...
