    Local news here in the metro area, channel 8, is actually covering (some) of the March for Life. Huh. More coverage then in the past by far usually it is just a road closures announcement.

    • Bob says:

      I was surprised to hear National Public Radio not only cover the event, but do so in a reasonably fair way. They even called the demonstrators “pro-life,” rather than “anti-abortion,” which is the word they usually use.

    OH wow! That scene at the top is JUST like my back yard!!!!
    Well, I don’t have those trees or that lake….but it’s just like my back yard.

    yeah…well, I don’t have those mountains like those….

    but other than that, it’s JUST like my back yard.

    kinda. if you squint. while you are drunk. and hung over. and sick. and possibly blind.

    Uh – duh – Common Friggin’ Sense!

    • Harvey says:

      We know this isn’t about common sense, but it still amazes me that so many people accept these positions that just don’t make sense. When there are burglaries in an area, the police don’t tell the neighbors to leave garage doors and windows open. They advise everyone to make their house a more difficult “target” so that thieves will move on to a quicker/easier place to rob.

      Cars kill. Has any organization put out statistics on vehicular deaths by car model? Like for instance, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus etc. All the high-end models elitists like to drive. Maybe those should be banned.

      A nice touch would have been one of those pictures with a fly.

    • Coyote says:

      What’s on his lip? Herpes? From that limo scene he did with that guy? Or did he burn his lip on that crack pipe he was smoking…? He’s infected!

      I’m three today. HAHAH!!!

      Seriously, now…
      By now, Americans should have NO doubt what this jackdonkey and his merry band of miscreants are up to. If they are still confused, they are lost as Americans. If they are still argumentative or keep asking “…now why would our own pResident do such a thing…”…well, then…they are one of them.

      It’s about control.

      Time to harass the ever lovin’ comfort out of some very lazy representatives, congress, senators and governors. Call them twice a day. I do, and I make sure I talk to someone different every time. And then I start again the next day. Make them understand that their job is not safe, and that WE are THEIR boss.

      They are there to GOVERN, no dictate over us. Help them erase that pre-concieved notion that they are there to TELL US how to live.

    I won’t link the Politico article, but Texas are you ready? Available at Amazon:
    The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care)
    Rob Witwer, Adam Schrager

  6. freedom1781 says:

    Hey Grunt,
    We have a threat of snow here and people have all gone crazy with the closings, including…..Langley. I haven’t even seen a single snowflake today.

    Poll: 2/3 of Americans Would Defy Federal Gun Ban

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/25/Poll-2-3-of-Americans-Would-Defy-Federal-Gun-Ban

    Only two-thirds?!

  8. barnslayer says:

    We had a liberal with a petition ring the bell yesterday. The topic was to increase the minimum wage. I told her I was against it since it would hurt a segment of job seekers. What I realized after the fact was this… it’s not about minimum wage at all. It’s about increasing the numbers for unemployment payout… both numbers of those without jobs and the amount of money they would receive from our tax dollars.

    • freedom1781 says:

      Bingo.

    • Lephiel Snape says:

      Hell Barn, I cant even get a minimum wage job. I have been told by 10 places I am overqualified.

      • Coyote says:

        Are you looking in Texas?

      • barnslayer says:

        Employers that reject you for being overqualified figure you won’t stay long enough to make it worth them training you. You need to dial down your interview skills and maybe delete some items from your resume. The government would tell you to go back to college and get more letters after your name. The professors would agree. Anything that takes the blame off oblamer’s economy.

  9. Lephiel Snape says:

    Coyote;Because of my husband’s job, Texas is not an option.

    Barn, Hell one place I dialed down my resume/application and in the interview told them I did “secretarial work”, not entirely untrue but far below communications/social media. and still got the “over qualified” speech. And was told, by the manager that by the way I carried myself and how well I spoke, I was omitting work details. He was amused when my reply was “so give me a manager position then”.

  10. Got this from Chrissy over at PoliNation, and I can’t stop wretching. This Morford guy is so full of crap, I don’t know how he doesn’t spontaneously compost. Even the stuff about JFK is so wrongheaded it makes me disoriented. Whoa! Gotta sit down before I blow! :shock: This idiot doesn’t seem to realize that when teenage girls crush on a rock star, it’s not because the rock star is an actual being-of-light. It’s because they’re children, and they don’t know any better. Geez, I thought people knew obvious stuff like this? WTF??
