MEMBER DIARY

Midday Open Thread

And a response to Moe

By: Aaron Gardner (Diary)  |  January 5th, 2010 at 12:30 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Yesterday, Moe wrote a short diary on activism going into 2010. It was a simple point, aim to misbehave. In that spirit I present a video done by our own Erick Brockway, with limited contributions from yours truly.

Enjoy, and consider this an open thread.

Conservatives Victorious in 2010/2012 from Erick Brockway on Vimeo.

So what are you waiting for? Download a good tune, open up windows movie maker and crank out some videos to share.

    First of all, Moe has awesome taste in movies. Firefly was still better, though. DVDs, people, watch the series or you don’t get the movie.

    Second: Brockoway makes a pretty solid video. I especially love the fact that he’s co-opting Muse, one of the furthest-left bands out there. Srsly, one of the songs on their latest album was reputedly inspired by Zbigniew Brzezinski’s latest book.

    Third, I still love Muse. When you’ve got talent oozing out of every pore, glowing from the footsteps they leave on the ground…I don’t care what your lyrics are, they’re a bloody amazing band. They haven’t had a bad album yet, and that really says something for a ProgRock band.

    Brings tears to the eyes…a new fighting spirit to the heart and a will to defy this pinheaded phallic organs to the end!

    Hey Barry….Not just NO! but HELL NO!!!!

    Thanks for the great, inspiring video montage! I am so frustrated with representatives who do not hear, leaders who do not lead, and so-called Americans who do not love this country. God bless the USA and we will take it back to be run with responsibility, morality, justice and freedom.

  • IJB

    This is inexcusable.

    This guy is not ready for Primetime. He’s got to go.

    How dare he beeyotch about the NRCC money and somehow relate WINNING to their pathetic funds. WE are going to WIN on the ground and in the bank accounts of Conservatives….WE don’t NEED NO STINKING NRCC!

  • JadedByPolitics

    between the video and this news ALL is starting to work itself out!

  • penguin2

    Powerful and incredible and many other adjectives as well.

    My favorite frame: the Eagle with the Bill of Rights, gets me every time.
    Strange how the music has a hint of Blondie from time to time, which I am fond of.

    Thanks you guys, and as you said Ace, a fighting spirit is aroused. We have our theme song for 2010/2012. Victorious indeed!!!

  • fpete13527

    I’m EXCITED!
    Especially here in Florida.

    …and on extended RINO hunter front….South Carolina censors Graham:)))

    This year is shaping up great.

  • danasdaddy

    call that the one-word answer (NO!) and the two-word answer (HELL NO!).

    Barry always deserves 2 words!

  • Beasley Beesmeal

    any takers/dudes with movie maker talent?

  • shaitra

    I agree, it definitely brings out the fight in me. Let’s go campaign for some conservatives!

  • AceInTX

    but when I heard what he said on Hannity this morning I ended up apologizing to my youngest son because I blurted out an expletive that he shouldn’t have heard….

    This is the last straw for me…Steele is an unmitigated disaster amongst a whole gaggle of unmitigated disasters that is the Republican Leadership…he needs to go…and he needs to go soon!!!

    leaving his comment aside that the Republican Party won’t take back the House this year…he also said he hadn’t been looking at polls so he couldn’t predict how the Republican Party will do this year…

    Can you [b]PLEASE[/b] tell me Michael…just what the hell have you been doing that you haven’t seen the polls enough to know how we’ll do? Just what does the leader of the RNC have to do besides read the polls in individual races and decide how to allocate party funds based on those polls. Maybe…just [b]MAYBE[/b] if you concentrated on that and shut the hell up you wouldn’t be hopping around on one leg because you have your other foot in your mouth!

    We’re so screwed!

  • antisocial

    while promoting his book. He was telling us he was not sure how Republicans are going to fight. This guy needs reeducation. Maybe a Cheney or Fred slap-down.

  • http://www.obamafailblog.net obamafailblog

    NYT is claiming Obama was singing Christmas carols when told of the Christmas terrorist attack.

    “Mr. Obama was singing Christmas carols with his family at their secluded Hawaiian beachfront getaway on Friday when a military aide interrupted with news of an attempted terrorist attack aboard an American airliner, an aide said. Mr. Obama excused himself to get on a secure telephone line installed just for his visit in case of emergencies like this.”

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/27/us/politics/27memo.html?_r=1&hp

    REALLY? He must’ve looked ridiculous wearing sandals and shorts and singing Auld Lang Syne. Wonder if he was using a teleprompter.

    Chris Widener has announced today he’s running against Murray. He has no political experience. Successful businessman and motivational speaker.

    My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
    She has her food prepared for her.
    She can eat whenever she wants, 24/7/365..
    Her meals are provided at no cost to her.
    She visits the Dr. once a year for her checkup, and
    again during the year if any medical needs arise.
    For this she pays nothing, and nothing is required of her.
    She lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much
    larger than she needs, but she is not
    required to do any upkeep.
    If she makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
    She has her choice of luxurious places to sleep.
    She receives these accommodations absolutely free.
    She is living like a queen, and has absolutely no expenses
    whatsoever.
    All of her costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living
    every day.
    I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick
    in the head,

    Holy crap, my dog is a liberal democrat!

    Priceless.

  • Ausonius

    Here is the video: nicely done:

    http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=HiyqvuTxaEs

    There is a rumor going around that the counter for number of views is frozen for some reason.

    Glitch or something more sinister? If they wanted to limit popularity, they would simply delete it, or so it would seem.

    “Sinister” comes from Latin for the l e f t hand! :)

  • Swamp_Yankee

    In a competitive primary, I’ll apply no purity test.

    But its a good opportunity to find someone who can articulate and defend conservative principles.

  • http://www.the41stvote.org rcov092

    I hope Dorgan gets a serious melanoma like sun burn.

  • gekster

    That would be very unlike libs.

    I tried to respond to nessa, but the RTT is gone under her coment. IE8 probs, I guesse.
    I just wanted to say to her I just thought we needed a few laughs today.
    Heck,any day.
    Happy to make some one smile.

  • penguin2

    and we were all looking over at our dog, who started to wag her tail, like she knew we were talking about her. You’re right, it helps to have a laugh. Sweet story.

  • JadedByPolitics

    ………..

  • JadedByPolitics

    I have ever watched and I thought I had seen the BEST earlier today but this is INCREDIBLE…..THANK YOU to ALL OF YOU who do these things that make my HEART SWELL WITH PRIDE and give me TRUE HOPE!!!!!!!

  • chbroussard

    Great video. Had me rocking out at my desk.

  • eburke
  • Vegas_Rick

    This video …..wow! I wish it could get a nation-wide airing on the MSM. It’s all we’d be talking about for weeks.

  • JadedByPolitics

    would start up a donation page to play it in EVERY state that a Senator or Congressman took a “bribe” for their vote!

  • joayn

    I still laughed SO LOUD my cats are staring at me now. Talk about liberal Democrats …

    Thanks for the guffaw, gekster – excellent post.

  • joayn

    When I see videos like this it never ceases to amaze me that God gives us such gifts when we need them the most.

    It reminded me of this one, created by a teenager in Alabama for his mother’s Tea Party event.

  • Ausonius

    Apparently the counter controversy is not true, or it was an honest glitch at YouTube. c. 20,000 hits have been registered in the last 3 hours.

    Again, this is one of the best statements against the Dems I have seen recently.

    Its author is named “Buckrush” q.v.

  • makemyday

    that have uploaded this video. Depending on which one you get linked to the hits change rather abruptly. First one I saw two days ago had 4 hits and I noticed another author in the list with the same vid with over 6000.

    the images… the music… it is a masterpiece – a really kick butt inspiration for a freaking cold January day when not much going on is all that inspriring! We need to watch this every morning as we go out to join the battle to save this country!
