Has He No Dignity?

Posted by Nancy on November 16, 2009

In case there is any question as to the appropriateness of deeply bowing to Japan’s emperor, Republican students at the University of Connecticut have put together this enlightening series of photos.

I expect my president to represent the United States with dignity and self-respect.  If he has no more respect for himself than to go around the world bowing to leaders of other countries, how can they believe him to be anything more than inexperienced, naive and weak, and treat him accordingly?

Surely someone on his staff knows international etiquette and could give him a few hints here and there.  Please.

I love send up from www.TerrellAfterMath.com, via www.AmericanThinker.com.  Good Photoshopping!

The Dole

Posted by liloladenvers on November 15, 2009

Everything goes back to music for me; there is a song for every situation.  And I finally found one that explains the “moocher” class that has grown in this country.  Welfare, foodstamps, Medicaid, affirmative action, WIC, government cheese.  All seems to be beneficial, they are helping out the disadvantaged, the unfortunate, until they can get back on their feet.

But that isn’t the way it works.  What really happens is that they are stuck, bound, chained into a life of dependence.  It’s a life from which they cannot escape and that they believe they deserve.

How do they get out of the chains that bind them?  It’s very difficult, especially if their dependence has been going on for years, even generations.  We help people with other addictions.  There are 12-step programs and interventions to get them out from under the monkey on their back.  But we are not doing anything to get them off the dole.  And they don’t see any way out.  Why?

They owe their souls to the company store.

Wisdom From 1949

Posted by Nancy on November 15, 2009

Another cartoon produced by Harding College, Meet King Joe explains why American workers make (or made) more than workers in any other country.  Look at what we are losing.

Make Mine Freedom

Posted by Nancy on November 12, 2009

Wisdom from 1948, when the Cold War was just beginning.  This is one of  a series of cartoons made by Harding College to explain what makes America different from other countries. It is charmingly outdated, yet teaches timeless truth.

Too bad our colleges and universities have lost the vision of what America is and what we are in danger of losing.

In Honor of Our Veterans

Posted by Nancy on November 11, 2009

For all those who have served our country, here’s honoring you and your sacrifices on Veterans Day.

A special thank you to my husband, who spent 21 years in the Air Force. The life of a military member (and wife and family) is not always easy, but our country is worth it.

Freedom Curtailed Celebrating Fall of the Berlin Wall

Posted by Nancy on November 10, 2009

A student group called Young Americans for Liberty set up a memorialyesterday, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.  Located on the grounds of Washington University in St. Louis, Missourie, they created a gulag camp complete with prisoners, barbed wire, and guards.

They hoped to bring attention to the suffering caused by socialism, and the 150,000,000 deaths it caused in the 20th century.

“We’re hoping to elevate the thinking of students about the connection between socialism, tyranny, and murder,” said Dirk Doebler, lead organizer of the event. ”Too often, we tend to think about state control in the abstract. This event is an opportunity to show the student body what socialism really is.”

The university said the display was too offensive and shut them down.

The students obviously were *mistaken* with their facts.  Don’t they know socialism is good, and Reagan had nothing to do with the fall of the wall?  Credit is now being given to Mikhael Gorbachev for being such a skilled negotiator.

Keep it up students, and may others follow your lead!

I May Have to Rethink My Stand on Yo Gabba Gabba

Posted by Katie on November 6, 2009

Because public schools aren’t indoctrinating our kids early enough:

 

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, coming from a grouch that is funded by government money.

Obama’s Bizarre Press Conference on Ft. Hood Shootings

Posted by Nancy on November 6, 2009

When viewed from the very beginning, the press conference Obama held to decry the violence at Ft. Hood is nothing short of bizarre.  He spends the first two-and-a-half minutes congratulating his administration over a Native American conference and giving a shout out to an attendee, then slurs into the shooting without any kind of break to change topic.  Not even a stop for a new sentence. 

He also reads. every. single. word of his speech about the shooting.  Watch as he keeps looking down at the podium (were the teleprompters broken?).

 Can you imagine how the MSM would be covering this if it had been given by a Republican president? 

Where are the military men and women in this man’s priorities?

Glenn Beck, Healthcare, and The ME Generation

Posted by Christina on October 28, 2009

He ties it all together pretty well, I think…

Do you agree? Have we become a society of spoiled brats? If so, how do we turn things around now? And do we actually have the will to do so?
