Snapped Shot

Gateway Pundit brings us the story of a Venezuelan farmer who, after eking out a farm-life existence for the past 30 years, is unfortunate enough to have his land confiscated by Hugo Chávez's marxist thugs. Fortunately for us, he was mindful enough to capture the whole thing on video, so the world can truly see radical leftist policies at face value.

Thank you, YouTube!



As an aside, it's important to note that Hugo Chávez heartily endorses Barack Obama's policies. And also that Barack Obama's political appointees heartily endorse Hugo Chávez.

Comforting, ain't it?

It's times like this where I really feel like we're living in some sort of dastardly parallel universe.

Not content with the terrible treatment given to Barack Obama by the naves at Saturday Night Live, CNN sees fit to rush to their hero's defense.

Of course, when one considers how savagely the show treated George W. Bush or George H. W. Bush or Ronald Reagan, it readily becomes clear that the nitwits at CNN have been asleep at the wheel for the past two decades.

Given their ongoing ratings slump, I guess that's not really much of a surprise.

Aussie Dave caught this one right away—he's sporting a sleek new design that's worth an extra visit, btw—but seeing how I was stuck crawling around a server cabinet all day on Friday, I'm a bit late to the game.

Is this not the greatest example of motherhood, evuh?

One wonders where our local terror-apologists stand on imagery like this... Somehow, I suspect the only way that any leftist would condemn this woman is if I were to reveal that she was an evil home schooler.

Avast!

Recently, I told you how Obama and his cohorts have ruined this economy by crushing jobs by the millions. More recently, I showed you how this nation is approaching Great Depression numbers.

Except Obama keeps telling us that things are great. America is as strong as ever. In fact, your life could be worse if he hadn't put us further in to debt by giving tax dollars to produce canned ham and a giant balloon alligator.

According to that little widget in the sidebar, Snapped Shot has cracked the top 10 list of Virginian blogs this week—Woo hoo!

Many thanks to all of you (or is that all y'all?) who keep coming by to check out the latest craziness. There's always plenty more of that to be had—Be sure to hit the "Subscribe" button up above if you want up-to-the-second craziness.

Thanks also to to David Mastio's excellent BlogNetNews, which serves as the de-facto news aggregator for this grand Commonwealth and the many other states that wish they could be more like it. If you don't use BNN to find your local news, you are probably missing the best stuff.

Isn't that pretty much the mantra that we heard from the left attacking Pres Bush when he was presiding over the war on terror? Except then it was "He lied and [somebody] died".

Now our soldiers are under Pres Obama's watch and their lives are in his hands.

And with our soldiers and their leaders currently asking for more support from Pres Obama, what does he decide to do? How does he respond to their emergency calls for aid? Continue reading »

"Hey, what do you want? 40% Unemployment? We saved you. Get over it."

If it wasn't for Obama's leadership and foresight and complete awesomeness, your grandmother would be dead and everyone would be unemployed.

Now, while Obama and his inner voice did not see YOUR pain lasting this long, it could have been much worse. Sing your praises to him and thank him for your food stamps.

See Ace for the story. See here for the full-sized graph.

But note that the real unemployment is closer to 10.2%. This is due to people who just stopped looking for work. And, if you consider those ungrateful peasants wanting to find full-time work, that happy misery-index is closer to 18%.

Oh, but we are actually in a recovery period, its just you stupid over-taxed greedy employers who are refusing to hire hard-working grannies back.

You want some happy news? Ok, here ya go!

Ok. Get this...

A Dallas judge ruled Thursday that Texas' ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional as she cleared the way for two gay men to divorce, the Dallas Morning News reported.

State District Judge Tena Callahan said the state’s bans on same-sex marriage violates the constitutional guarantee to equal protection under the law.

While the Texas attorney general had stepped into the case to say that because a gay marriage isn’t recognized in Texas, a Texas court can’t dissolve one through divorce, Tena denied the intervention.

When will these judges stop banning what people vote on? When will they stop invalidating the will of the people?

I want you to read this quote twice.

Once, for the overt context that the story is telling you. But then read it a second time for the meaning behind the story.

You thought that the pork trough was going to be emptied for the tramp-pimpin Acorn mob organization.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah. Right.

Think again.

Rush covered this a while back, but I am just now trying to catch up with some news after I moved to an apartment 2 weeks ago.

Obama had his girdle out pushing his health care plan in front of a gaggle of women.

She recites a story from her recent past in order to prove that having insurance saved her girls life.

I will never forget the time eight years ago when Sasha was four months, that she would not stop crying -- and she was not a crier, so we knew something was wrong. So we fortunately were able to take her to our pediatrician that next morning. He examined her and said, "Somethin's wrong." We didn't know what, but he told us that she could have meningitis. So we were terrified. He said, "Get to the emergency room right away."

I think about, "What on earth would we have done if we had not had insurance."

Read that again. Let it soak in.

My rant is on page 2. Continue reading »

Thinking about voicing your opinion in public? Want to share your opinion of a mildly confused political candidate in the open square of public debate, aided by a homemade protest sign?

You're also probably thinking that the Democratic Party fully supports this kind of openness, since they're the party of the people.

If so, then I hate to break it to you, but you're definitely quite mistaken. Check out what officials from the Democratic Party did to a gentleman who thought of doing exactly that—on a public sidewalk, no less.



Once again, we see that the standard of "Free speech" applies only to Democratic opinions. Those who differ with Democratic Thought Patterns deserve not to be heard at all. (At least, according to Creigh Deeds and his staffers.)

(On a positive note, at least he wasn't assaulted. That's progress for these Democratic thugs, right?)

Thanks to Crystal Clear Conservative for pointing this out.

And you thought we were making up the Obamassiah thing.

"Deliver us Obama!"

It was not the people on the right that started this. It was those toe-kissing weak-knee'd liberals that went all squirmy between the knees just thinking about the chance to vote for Obama. No matter what he believed in. No matter what his plan to destroy the country. No matter what his background. They just wanted to vote for some black man that talked clearly.

And, this video was from 2008 as well. They have not given up on their messiah-worship of him yet. They will do anything for him. For his attention. For his glance.

When you deify a man, you blaspheme GOD. These idolatrous "religious" leaders are damned.

(H/T to Breitbart.tv. See also Michelle Malkin, and Hot Air)

I praised Congressman Alan Grayson a while back for his stand against government waste and corruption. But, we must all remember that he is still in fact, a DEMOCRAT Congressman from Florida.

The other day, on the floor of the House he got up to make a speech against the Republican Party.

Can you say vile, despicable, reprehensible, indecent of a Congressman, etc, etc?

How is this any different than saying someone lies? This IS an outright lie and slander to boot.

You know Congressman, maybe some people feel that it is NOT the business of the government to dictate health care in this country to individual citizens. Maybe they feel that it is a GOOD thing that people are allowed to make their own health decisions and are allowed to be responsible for when they get sick.

Sir, I hope the Socialists in this nation, like you, take option 3.

[Update] It would seem that he wasn't done speaking. He even spoke outside the House. Breitbart.tv has it in great video form. Money quote:

"Several Republicans asked me to apologize. Well, I would like to apologize. I would like to apologize to the dead!
...
I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America. I yield the rest of my time."

He claims to have a report that states that over 44,000 American ADULTS die every year because they have no health insurance.

BULL-PLOPS!!!!!!
