Refute:  To prove wrong by argument or evidence, to show to be false or erroneous.

Repudiate:  To refuse to have anything to do with, to disown, to refuse to accept, to reject as unauthorized, untrue, unjust, or having no binding force

Reeeeee-jected.

Refudiate:  A new term coined by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, which combines the above two words. And what will be done by voters to President Obama on Election Day, so as to demonstrate their anger at his, Speaker Pelosi’s, and Harry Reid’s having forced down America’s throat destructive and wrong liberal policies that have wrecked the economy and threaten our future well-being as a nation.

Conservative Republican control of the House is step one. Taking control of the Senate is step two, regardless of whether we do it in 2010 or 2012. And step three is electing a conservative president in 2012. It will not be as easy as one-two-three, but it can be done and it must be done to take back our government.

Those tea party people.

This two-year hijacking of our government by an ultra-liberal president and Congress has put this country on a fast and dangerous path to socialism. It has been fast when you consider how fast the national debt has escalated while the economy has stalled. And even though we survived the financial meltdown of late 2008 and early 2009, we are still dangerously close to a double-dip recession. Even worse, a depression is possible depending upon the actions of the upcoming lame duck session of Congress.

One of our own is about to leave for the front in Afghanistan, and our prayers go with him.

Hero.

Gregory D. Lee, a 57-year-old grandfather who enlisted in the Army as a military policemen in 1972, has been called to active duty – and to his first-ever combat tour – in the Afghan theater.

As Greg wrote in his column on Friday, he’ll have the advantage, serving as a Chief Warrant Officer Five at his age, of being recognized as having no career ambitions or other hidden agendas. He is respected by senior officers, and everyone will understand that he simply does his job and tells it like it is. (Sort of reminds me of Dick Cheney.)

I wrote two columns about my son, U.S. Army Infantry Captain Christopher B. Lee, about his going to war in Afghanistan and then coming home. Thank God!

Now it’s my turn. As an army reserve Chief Warrant Officer Five going on 39 years of service, I volunteered to go on active duty to support the Special Operations Command – Europe and be the

Afghanistan, here I come.

Officer in Charge (OIC) of a combating terrorism intelligence analytical team for one year. I report on November 1, 2010. The duty station will be in Stuttgart, Germany; however, my team will rotate into Afghanistan for a four-month period to support and conduct joint special operations in the theater.

Here’s today’s quiz for all you political junkies.  Who said each of the following?

1.      “Yet even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America – there’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America.”

Three guesses, and the first two don't count.

a. Abraham Lincoln
b. Hubert Humphrey
c. Martin Luther King, Jr.
d. Barack Obama, Democratic Convention, 2004

2.      “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. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first ….”

a. Franklin D. Roosevelt
b. Harry Truman
c. Jimmy Carter
d. Barack Obama, Primary Victory Speech, June 2008

The Wall Street Journal outlined on Tuesday how ObamaCare is already driving up the cost of health insurance – the early stages of a trend that will only accelerate. By standardizing benefits, ObamaCare turns health insurers into little more than commodity sellers – with size and market share determining who survives and who perishes.

What are you smiling about? That 'coverage' is screwing you.

It’s the latest example of how ObamaCare has doubled down on the very things that were most wrong with health care in America, and as a result will drastically exacerbate the cost problem while compromising quality of care.

The way Democrats, the media and far too many Republicans have framed the debate over the past generation or so is to talk in terms of coverage. How many people are “covered” by health insurance? This came to be the standard measurement of a good or bad health care “system.”

Barack Obama at a Massachusetts fundraiser: “Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we’re hard-wired not to always think clearly when we’re scared. And the country is scared.’’

Clear thinker.

Mr. Obama is basically saying that the electorate is too stupid to choose rationally when it’s panicked.  For once, I couldn’t agree with the president more.

Like when the country lost all sense of judgment in the wake of the Watergate scandal and lagging economic growth in the mid-1970s and voted in a former peanut farmer and one-term governor of Georgia and his horde of hicks with no clue how Washington operates or of the nature of the global challenge America was facing from the Soviets.  Madness.

News Item:  Rhode Island Democratic gubernatorial candidate Frank Caprio cancels planned appearances with Barack Obama in his state after learning that the President will not be officially supporting him in his race, and tells an interviewer, “He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned.”  Caprio’s independent challenger, former Republican Senator Lincoln Chaffee, was an early Obama supporter in 2008.

(To the tune of “Take This Job and Shove It” with apologies to David Allan Coe.)

The Prez gets no respect.

Take your nod and shove it, I ain’t joinin’ you no more
Obama done went and took all the reason I was comin’ for.
Ya better not come raise funds in my state
‘Cause I’m givin’ you what for.
Take your nod and shove it, I ain’t joinin’ you no more

Well, I been working in this Dem Party for more than 20 years
All this time, I poured my soul into it, blood, sweat, toil and tears.
And I’ve seen a lot of good pols fight so you could be the Prez today.
Now you’re screwin’ me over for Linc Chafee so you’re gonna hear me say …

Take your nod and shove it, I ain’t joinin’ you no more
Obama done went and took all the reason I was comin’ for.
Ya better go read all them approval polls
‘Fore you diss me to the core.
Take your nod and shove it, I ain’t joinin’ you no more

The president’s dyin’ now like like a dog, his advisors are all fools,
Came into the White House thinkin’ they were all so cool.
Shows me up here, comin’ into my state, with no endorsement, so he’ll pay
I know I’ll be good for some headlines once I show the nerve to say…

Take your nod and shove it, I ain’t joinin’ you no more
Obama done went and took all the reason I was comin’ for.
Ya gotta know that it ain’t 2008
Paper tiger, where’s your roar?
Take your nod and shove it, I ain’t joinin’ you no more.

That’s right, I said it. And it’s the truth. President Obama, through his own blatantly race-based appeals to black and latino voters, has shown just how full of hate his heart is for white people and America as it was founded. Far from not knowing him, as the lying candidate Obama said back in 2008, he sat there in the front pew for 20 years, eagerly swallowing all the bigoted hate that charlatan of a “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright troweled out every Sunday morning.

And now, with his presidency about to be made a lame-duck one by voters next Tuesday, and Obama desperately trying to avoid a most-deserved electoral thrashing, he reveals his real thoughts and beliefs in barely concealed Freudian slips.

“And if Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, we’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us, if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder — and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”

Those who would vote to stop Obama’s agenda are the enemies of Latinos? Their fellow Americans are in fact their enemy? It’s positively despicable to see a president stoop to blatant race-baiting and the sliming of the very Americans he’s supposed to lead. And the only reason he gets away with it is that it’s bigotry aimed at whites, which as far as liberal common wisdom is concerned, can’t possibly exist. But it does and Obama is full of it (amongst other things). Read the rest of this entry »
