“He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.
If She Runs, Stormy Daniels Will Run as a Republican
The former pornographic film star Stormy Daniels announced today that, after learning about the Republican National Committee’s recent reimbursement of an outing at a topless, bondage-themed nightclub, she could launch a bid for the Senate as a Republican.
The Baton-Rouge-born entertainer has been mulling over a bid for Sen. David Vitter (R-La.)’s Senate seat and is expected to make her candidacy official on April 15th — a date selected to highlight her push for tax reform. Daniels’ campaign began as a grassroots movement after Vitter’s connections to a prostitution ring were revealed.
(snip)
Daniels said she has been a registered Democrat throughout her life. “But now I cannot help but recognize that over time my libertarian values regarding both money and sex and the legal use of one for the other is now best espoused by the Republican Party,” she said.
MFG – You are always preaching that we should support all Republicans.
I will say though. AP has made this terribly difficult because well meaning folks like us who are intent on following rules are the ones who are typically slammed by the most innocent of things.
Yeah, but if they didn’t allow her to wear that before she got on the ride, CAIR would have showed up, and shut that place down. There would have been mega riots, lawsuits, etc. If they religion of piece can get their knickers in a knot over cartoons?
CAIR has filed suit on behalf of Muslim women who were terminated for refusing to abide by clothing requirements in Minnesota. The employer claimed that burkas were dangerous and could get caught up in moving machinery. The rules forbidding loose fitting clothing were in place long before the Muslim women were hired.
remember my Price of Freedom about King Charles I saying (just before being hung) that “the workings of government are none of their [the people’s] concern“??
Well Queen Nancy has just RE-STATED that when referring to ObamaCare:
It’s like the back of the refrigerator. You see all these wires and the rest. All you need to know is, you open the door. The light goes on.
When you look at Hot Air, you have Ed Morrissey who is a Minnesota Republican (not of the Michele Bachmann variety) and Allahpundit, who, at best, is a liberal Republican. Hot Air is the only conservative blog where the trolls run the site.
As long as I am ranting about the evils of Islam today:
A 13-year-old Yemeni girl who was forced into marriage died five days after her wedding when she suffered a rupture in her sex organs and hemorrhaging, a local rights organization said Thursday.
Ilham Mahdi al Assi died last Friday in a hospital in Yemen’s Hajja province, the Shaqaeq Arab Forum for Human Rights said in a statement quoting a medical report.
She was wedded the previous Monday in a traditional arrangement known as a “swap marriage,” in which the brother of the bride also married the sister of the groom, it said.
“The child Ilham has died as a martyr due to the abuse of children’s lives in Yemen,” the non-governmental organization said.
Her death was a “flagrant example” of the results of opposing the ban on child marriage in Yemen, which was leading to “killing child females,” it said.
Actually the Fox polling results mirror Rasmussen overall (47/53 today). The problem with Ras isn’t his overalls, but the strongly approve/strongly disapprove. As JR pointed out, the strongly approve is the number that fluctuates. Strongly disapprove remains constant.
This has been going on for 1,400 years. 100 years ago, heck 60 years ago, people in the Western world would have condemned Islam as barbaric. Today, we practice political correctness and moral equivalency. The left prefers Islam to Christianity or Judism. Womens groups that have problems with Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann seem to have no problem with Islam.
I can’t get a grip on economic directions anymore. Deficits as far as the eye can see. Unemployment stagnant. Housing sales show some signs of improvement. But, interest rates are starting to go up. Then we have the consumer sales up 9.1% in March. The U.S. stock market is steadily approaching 11,000, while Greece is going down the tubes!
Most perplexing is the economist Roubini, who has consistently been the prophet of economic doom, now showing some optimism. This was posted today in Roubini’s Global Economics Report:
Multispeed Global Economic Recovery in 2010
The OECD in an April 7 report forecasts that U.S. growth will outpace that of the eurozone and Japan, especially in H1 2010. Canada will outperform the rest of the G7 in H1. “U.S. GDP is expected to rise by 2.4% and 2.3% in first and second quarters this year. The combined GDP of the three largest countries in the euro area is projected to grow at 1.9% in the second quarter after 0.9% in the first three months of the year. In Japan, GDP growth is forecast at 2.3% in the second quarter of 2010 after 1.1% in the first.” All OECD economies “gathered steam” in Q4 2009 except the euro area, the OECD reported. Global trade has recovered and output in Asia has been strong. Private consumption grew in the U.S., and home prices and labor market indicators have stabilized and begun to grow in most countries, the report indicated.
If you take 43 and divide it by 91 (the total approve/disapprove number at Fox), you get 47% approval the IDENTRICAL number Ras has in his overall. Eliminating the undecideds, the Fox and Ras numbers are the same.
Eph, you hate Ras more that I hate the Yankees, White Sux and Cardinals.
bc, I had seen that story about the child bride at Jihad Watch and it made me ill. The Left is committed to the satanic destruction of children, and I suppose they have that in common with Islam.
That reminds me. I was talking to a friend of mine earlier this week. She’s a long time conservative, and I think she’s done poll-watching before. She told me she’s already clearing her calendar out to get ready to work on the elections.
On the Ann Coulter bit. She’s all wet. Just because my neighbor is burning down his house does not mean I should be looking for the kerosene can to follow suit. Steele needs to go or at least reassigned.
The RNC has its biggest year and its biggest month in total donations and yet it sits $7m less than a year ago. Excuse me but that is not exceptional leadership but the mark of a loser. Were I a CEO and stated this results in the boardroom I would be handed walking papers.
We are seven months from a midterm election and the RNC is in a weaker position now that it was last year. Time for change.
I would suggest that April 10 will be a decision point for Stupak. Tea Party Express pulls through his district that day. If there are large turn out in these small towns it could indicate a ‘no win’ situation for him. If it is, then why go through the agony of defeat?
I didn’t know that MSNBC had any moral fiber. Guess they have a little. Now if we could just open his eyes to some of his other ‘team players’ antics…..
ddrdog —> regarding your Stupak comment. I saw an article in Politico (I think), that said that he was going to run. However, your info that the teaparty is coming to his district will be an interesting event to watch.
“In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.” — John Adams
The observation by Adams probably satisfies your query on forum Eph. But if you were to apply the Greek, a forum is a place, not a gathering of people.
On the Ann Coulter bit. She’s all wet. Just because my neighbor is burning down his house does not mean I should be looking for the kerosene can to follow suit. Steele needs to go or at least reassigned.
*sigh* and I agree with you, though it pains my heart (which is filled with love for Ann) to say so.
About this nuclear treaty–I asked a question at HA, but no help yet. Excuse my bad memory, but didn’t something come out recently that Obama had been in office for several months before getting briefed on nuclear weapons? Or did that have something to do with Pakistan?
btw Ann is one of those Levin/Limbaugh types, I love them, but they are wedded to the R party and it shows.
There are worse things to be wedded to, I guess. But it colors their judgment heavily, and I have had about all I can stand of Rush demanding we stop criticizing Rs.
All this R unity on healthcare was great to see, but along comes cap and trade now, and amnesty, and if amnesty passes we are baked, and yet half the R party, if not more, will happily support it.
So I don’t want to be lectured about how loyal to the Rs I must be. Hell I voted for McCain, (excuse me please, while I vomit all over myself) so I don’t need to be told about loyalty.
They (the R party) are the ones who are laughing at us. Please don’t blame us for noticing.

JustMary, what do you think?

1. Odd that her Facebook page mentions nothing of that BC.
Just sayin…dont take the bait my friend

If it has AP sources, that is their deal (is how I take it). If they use the source, it is on them. We are using them as the source, not AP. You know?

I will say though. AP has made this terribly difficult because well meaning folks like us who are intent on following rules are the ones who are typically slammed by the most innocent of things.

Eph –
I believe the whole thing is a publicity stunt. I am just having some fun with MFG.
Although without knowing Stormy’s stand on issues (if she even has one), I would automatically vote for her over a Richard Lugar-type RINO.

I just think it’s sort of funny, in a third grader kind of way, that the two of them play these silly games.
[27]
“9%” don’t know? Wonder if they’re just waiting to see if they’ll get some of that free Obamacare.

I guess if you breakdown the 9% unknown to 4/5 split then you get RAS’ numbers. Big stretch though.
[38]
Ras doesn’t count uncommitted.
If you take 43 and divide it by 91 (the total approve/disapprove number at Fox), you get 47% approval the IDENTRICAL number Ras has in his overall. Eliminating the undecideds, the Fox and Ras numbers are the same.

This treaty has to make it thought the senate right?
[43]
I can’t get a grip on economic directions anymore.
I agree Jan. I certainly can’t make sense of it. The best I can do is tell myself “The market is not the economy and the economy is not the market.”
[44]
KH, I think they have to get their 2/3–67 votes. So they need to find 8 Rs willing to sell out.
[45]
That reminds me. I was talking to a friend of mine earlier this week. She’s a long time conservative, and I think she’s done poll-watching before. She told me she’s already clearing her calendar out to get ready to work on the elections.
[46]
The const. says that 2/3 of the senators PRESENT must concur. Does that mean that if someone is missing that day, it would require fewer to ratify???
[47]
46 – Think it means they need a at least a quorum
[48]
47. Is a quorum the same as a forum?
[49]
On the Ann Coulter bit. She’s all wet. Just because my neighbor is burning down his house does not mean I should be looking for the kerosene can to follow suit. Steele needs to go or at least reassigned.

A quoram is 51 senators.
[51]
A treaty to pass must have 2/3rds of the elected Senators to pass. Nothing to do with ‘those present’.
[52]
I would suggest that April 10 will be a decision point for Stupak. Tea Party Express pulls through his district that day. If there are large turn out in these small towns it could indicate a ‘no win’ situation for him. If it is, then why go through the agony of defeat?

Fine line there. I notice that the byline for the article is an AP reporter. It would see from that alone its an AP article. Just my opinion.
