That about sums it up!

It seems our men and women of Services are tired of hearing what a bunch of weak people complain about. God Bless our Troops. RTR!

I wish I could give each one of those guys 1,000 e-creds each. I'll give you one SC that you can symbolically accept for new heroes.

[SUPERCOACH]

I accept.

Here is an example of the character exhibited by the left and those on the right.

Bob Beckel is the liberal on the panel for the FOX news show "The Five". He is the only liberal on the roundtable formatted show, similar to Elisabeth Hasselbeck being the conservative voice on the network show "The View". The difference being that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is not an over bearing, loud mouth, blowhard. Beckel talks over his co-hosts and manages to monopolize maybe 1/2 of the conversation. The show should be renamed "The Blowhard Bob Beckel Hour".

However, below is a link to an example which shows a video (what actually transpired) and what the liberals say transpired.  The conservative crowd tried to be polite and enthusiastic to Beckel, while the libs say he was trashed. You decide.

Protesters disrupt Obama N.H. speech


<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHsKMT5pvNE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHsKMT5pvNE</a>

Hecklers interrupted President Obama’s speech Tuesday at a high school in Manchester, N.H.

Reporter says hecklers "were apparently connected with "Occupy Wallstreet".

In a high school  - bull!

[BAMAWV]

Are you thinking the protesters were plants to help Hussein distance himself from OWS? I've seen it before.  You have to go through Secret Service clearance to attend these functions. You can't just walk up and start protesting.

[Coach Hank Crisp]

BO and the democrats have sympathized with the “Occupy Wall Street” protestors since the beginning. Truth known, organized 'OWS' to gather support for BO in next years election.

All those hecklers in attendance were handpicked, allowed to enter the high school, and paid by the DNC to protest.

Soup-Kitchen Nazis

November 22, 2011 8:00 P.M. By Jack Fowler 


My pal Bill McGurn has a maddening column in today’s WSJ. Here’s the link (but to read the entire piece, you’ve got to subscribe).

The gist: a long-standing soup-kitchen program run by a consortium of churches in New Jersey is being undercut by food-safety bureaucrats who have recast the charity as a retail business, thereby wildly raising costs and precluding volunteers from bringing home-prepared foods for the poor.

He’s a smidgen of Bill’s column:

This the men and women of the Community Soup Kitchen have provided for 26 years, not once missing a day. Now comes a challenge greater than any snowstorm or power outage. Earlier this year, the Morristown Division of Health ruled that henceforth the soup kitchen would be considered a “retail” food establishment under New Jersey law.


From that single word far-reaching consequences have flowed. In a column for a local blog, Ray Friant, a volunteer from the Morristown United Methodist Church, called the rule “crazy.” Over Sunday breakfast at a local diner, Mr. Friant, his wife, Emmy Lu, and another church couple who also volunteer at the kitchen, Barbara and Jim Morris, spell out what they mean by crazy.

Most obvious is the higher cost: at least $150,000 more a year. To meet this increase, the kitchen is asking each participating church to up its own contribution. Some congregations don’t have the money. For those that do, it will mean less for some other need.

Much of this cost results from a new prohibition on people donating food they’ve prepared at home. For those on the giving end, often this was the only way they could participate, so eliminating their contributions means eliminating volunteers. For those on the receiving end, it means no more homemade meat loaf, lasagna, cakes and so forth.

Let them eat store-bought cake!

Rage, rage against the regulators: Last one to call Governor Christie’s office to demand an intervention is a rotten egg.

New Hampshire Union Leader backs Gingrich


WASHINGTON (AP) — The New Hampshire Union Leader endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in Sunday editions, signaling that rival Mitt Romney isn't the universal favorite and that the state's largest newspaper could reset the contest there with six weeks to go before voters cast their ballots.

"We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing," the newspaper wrote in an editorial that was as much a promotion of Gingrich as a discreet rebuke of Romney.

"We don't back candidates based on popularity polls or big-shot backers. We look for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independent-minded, grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job," the newspaper continued.

Romney enjoys a solid leads in New Hampshire polls and remains at the front of the pack nationally. A poll released last week showed him with 42 percent support among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire. Gingrich followed with 15 percent in the WMUR-University of New Hampshire Granite State poll.

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas posted 12 percent support and former Utah Gov. John Huntsman found 8 percent support in that respected survey.

Those numbers could shift based on the backing of The Union Leader, a newspaper with a conservative editorial page that proudly works to influence elections in the politically savvy state, from school boards to the White House.

"We don't have to agree with them on every issue," the newspaper wrote in an editorial that ran across the width of the front page. "We would rather back someone with whom we may sometimes disagree than one who tells us what he thinks we want to hear."

Main Slime Media - Chris Matthews

Matthews: Limbaugh ‘uppity-ism’ remark indicative of his listeners’ ‘prejudice’

Perhaps it is a low regard for the racial sensibilities of Rush Limbaugh’s audience, or what he calls “non-college whites” as a whole, but MSNBC host Chris Matthews and the panel on this weekend’s broadcast of “The Chris Matthews Show” has branded an entire segment of society as being guilty of prejudice.

In a segment analyzing Limbaugh’s remarks that First Lady Michelle Obama was guilty of “uppity-ism” from last week, Matthews noted a potential electoral obstacle for President Barack Obama — the loss of white male voters, which he had gotten more of in his 2008 election than any one of the last three Democratic presidential nominees.

“For Rush Limbaugh to haul out that word, it may be a sign that his audience thinks it’s acceptable,” Matthews said. “Back when Barack Obama won in 2008, when that kind of talk was less public, he got 43 percent of white votes and that was the same level as Bill Clinton got in 1996 and higher than Al Gore got with 42 percent of whites, and John Kerry’s 41 percent of whites. But the slippage with whites was clear in the 2010 midterms, when Democrats got just 37 percent of whites and the president’s current support with whites is at 38 percent.”

And that polling data according to Matthews was Limbaugh playing on racism for his audience.

“Clarence [Page], this is about politics and ethnicity,” Matthews continued. “And for him to throw out that word — I have never heard the word ‘uppity’ used, that adjective except in combination with another word, the ‘n’ word.”

Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page said Limbaugh used the word “uppity-ism” to appeal to his demographics, perhaps as a ploy for higher ratings.

“It is the perfect dog whistle word and we also know Rush Limbaugh loves to walk that political correctness line and appeal to the demographics you’re talking about,” Page said “I think it’s important to remember that what Democrats haven’t carried the white male-vote since what, LBJ in 1964? This is all a part of the larger culture war that’s been going on in the country since the 1960s. And Rush Limbaugh knows how to plug into that group. That’s his base. As soon as I heard that he had said this, I said, ‘Is this sweeps month? Is this ratings month in radio?’”

Exit Barney Frank

Rep. Barney Frank will be remembered for three things: First, he was not only the first openly gay member of Congress but the first involved in a gay-prostitution scandal. Second, he said, “I do not want the same kind of focus on safety and soundness” regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as exercised with regard to other government-affiliated agencies, preferring, as he memorably put  it, to “roll the dice a little bit.” Third, he was co-author of the Frank-Dodd financial-reform legislation. Which is to say, Representative Frank will be remembered as an embarrassment, a reckless gambler, and a legislative malefactor.

Representative Frank was not much of a crusader on gay-rights issues, which was just as well. On the substance of those issues, he was on the wrong side. As a symbol, he was toxic — a powerful politician whose homosexual orientation was hardly the most remarkable feature of his private life, which included involvement with a gay hustler and convicted drug dealer whom the congressman was paying for sex, and who ended up running a prostitution operation out of the congressman’s home. Representative Frank was reprimanded by the House for making misleading statements to a Virginia prosecutor on behalf of the prostitute — whom the congressman eventually put on his own payroll — and for having fixed dozens of parking tickets on his behalf. Americans are broadly tolerant of homosexuality; they are rightly less tolerant of prostitution and political corruption. The congressman’s self-pitying account of the episode made the bad situation worse.
