As we wake up in our newly minted Muslim nation and face Washington to say Obamau Akbar, it is our Dear Leader’s 34th birthday. Um . . . no . . . this one, not that one.

Consider this an open thread.

lol, just kidding :) btw, give us your insight on this absurd DOJ rule banning GA from checking voter citizenship. I think this needs a LOT more play on this site, we can’t win elections if illegals, kids, dead people, cons, etc can vote.

Molon Labe!

Agreed Doc...

wrenhal Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:32AM EDT (link)

In Oklahoma the Gov. vetoed a voter ID law and now it’s gone to a vote of the people next year. Something needs to be done to make voters ID themselves as eligible voters. I don’t want to go so far as Boortz who wants it back to only land owners, but still. It’s out of control.

so true wrenhal

Doc Holliday Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:41AM EDT (link)

well we could just drop the franchise from women lol. Statistics show if we did that the Repub would win every presidential election, so even Repub women should support it; well, hmm, probably not.

Seriously, this is such a huge deal, it negates all other political arguments in my opinion. We could come up with great candidates with great ideas and win among legal voters, yet still lose!

Molon Labe!

 

We'll be rid of Brad

molybdanthan Wednesday, June 3rd at 9:15PM EDT (link)

and get a good Republican in there next year. And the OK citizenry will overwhelmingly pass what he’s too liberal to accept, assuming they don’t flood the polls with undocumented voters. He’s been pretty much a lamer lame duck this term. At least we’ve got the GOP in the majority for the 1st time since 1907.

Agreed

I am SOOOO happy to see someone like Mary Falin running. Another big Demo I’d love to be rid of is Garrett over at the brainwashing… I mean education department. So what town you in Moly???

Happy Birthday, Erick! May you have many, many more.

Followup re statue of Reagan going up in London RedHot

Finrod Wednesday, June 3rd at 1:55PM EDT (link)

The part of the story about Reagan’s statue going up in London that got me was this part:

To acknowledge Mr Reagan’s contribution to the ending of the Cold War, a piece of the Berlin Wall will be installed in the front of the statue in Grosvenor Square.

Mr Summers added: “Those who witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 described the feeling in the air that night as electric, as if some great force had been let loose, and it is fitting we should pay tribute to Reagan’s contribution to bringing down this barrier between East and West, and subsequently changing the world. The site which houses the US Embassy is a fitting place to acknowledge this great man.”

Ronald Reagan shall forever tower over the Berlin Wall. I find this very appropriate.

You can find it at American Spectator here:

It really is good.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge.

I am still suffering through the Liberal scare-aganda now on DVR… but I insist that I will finish watching it to take in all the BS… Gotta know the latest enemy BS….

and yet… with all the dumb things we do now in the name of Stimulus and Infrastructure there are things we could do for the long term [large, but not as expansive and/or even as difficult as Hoover Dam/Lake Meade - how is it that China gets it? (see below)] to prepare for and handle those things that are absolute certainties…. CLIMATE CYCLES…. To prepare and mitigate Drought/Flood cycles… but we don’t….

Climate $cam - Climate $cam
+Cycles/Shift - Climate Cycles/Shifts
+China projects - China gets the Flood/Drought Cycles preperation right

I hope it was fantastic. :)

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it. — Margaret Thatcher
