Shellings from the Peanut Gallery

There are times when one can no longer remain confined.
It matters not that one agrees or disagrees.
It matters only that the shell that binds be cracked and thrown off.

An Address to a Joint Session of Congress - Eight Years Later

After 15 years of being completely apolitical, including not voting, 9-11 happened. Rarely did I watch TV and never did I watch the "news" readers. However, on that day of infamy, I was compelled to listen to what our President had to say. I knew nothing about this man other than his name and his title...President.

Prior to 9-11 I had no idea what President Bush looked like or what he stood for. That night I saw a strong and determined man. A man who had faith in God, in his country and the American people. A man that I was suddenly grateful for as an odd sense of relief swept over me realizing it was THIS man at the helm of our great country. I saw PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH.

Eight years ago tonight, President George W. Bush addressed a joint session of congress and the American people. There was a time most of his address was committed to memory. There were so many profound, encouraging and resolute things this great man -- this wonderful President -- said on that night that I will never forget.

"Our grief has turned to anger, and anger to resolution."

"Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss.
And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment.
Freedom and fear are at war.
The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time,
and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us.

Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future.
We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage.
We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."

"I will not forget this wound to our country or those who inflicted it.
I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people."

"But this country will define our times, not be defined by them."


As I traveled to Washington, DC on 9-11-09, unable to participate in the 9-11 tributes until late that night, I pondered on the events that had taken place eight years ago that day. Memories of our strong and determined President flooded my mind along with the address he delivered nine days later.

It was THIS day, eight years ago, when I saw the greatest President of my lifetime.
It was on that day I vowed to support and encourage him in anyway I could.

God Bless You President George W. Bush!
Thank you for your courage and stamina in the face of unspeakable evil.
You are sorely missed by many millions of Americans and millions of others around the world.

The Truth About Barack’s Birth Certificate


There are liars, damn liars and lying liars that lie! This would describe Obama's "Fight the Smears" website. What a joke!

This came directly from said website:

Smears claiming Barack Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate aren’t actually about that piece of paper — they’re about manipulating people into thinking Barack is not an American citizen.

NO asshole -- it most definitely IS about that piece of paper. You idiots are the folks that are manipulating people with your lies and massaging the verbiage. Very few -- that I am aware of -- have questioned whether Obama is an American citizen as it is quite irrelevant to what most care about.

The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.
The truth is, you have shown NO EVIDENCE of that which you claim is truth.
Uhh uhh, I believe you, now SHOW ME THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

He may or may not have been born in Hawaii. He may or may not be a native citizen, which is all he could possibly be if his daddy is truely BHO, Sr. Being a native citizen is not a constitutionally acceptable status to serve as POTUS.

FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship -- [FactCheck??? ROTFLMAO!]

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

1. Anyone believing one word FactCheck has to say in regard to obama is a fool. FactCheck is a subsidiary of the Annenberg Foundation, for whom obama worked and served on their board.

2. You admit right here that IF he is indeed Barack Obama, Jr. he was a British subject and Kenyan citizen at birth, thus not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

3. Renouncing citizenship or having citizenship to a foreign nation expire rules has nothing to do with being a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

4. One point you left out was his adoption by Indonesian citizen, Lolo Soetoro. How does that fit into this puzzle?


"What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics
that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon -- that sees our
opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize."
Barack Obama, June 3, 2008

You sir, are a liar.

Obama Criticism Flow Chart

As soon as I quit laughing I had to post this outstanding piece of work from Missourah.com



BS/BO



Yes, I know it is sad. It is pathetic. It is disgusting. It is a diversion.

However, THIS is where the DemonRATS want to focus our attention.
Bad for the country. But hey, they could care less about this country.
