This Blog Is Moving
Greetings. After this weekend, this Take Our Country Back Blog will be moving to the new web site. Too many conservatives are getting zapped by the intolerant dweebs of the Obama Goons and seeing that this editing platform is a free site, Blogger can do pretty much what it feels like doing. Hence, I now have a paid site and will be migrating the last 1400+ posts shortly.
So, one day, you just may click this page somewhere and it will show up as "private". It has been fun but the intolerant Czarbie Goon Squads are brain dead idiots. They can come play at the new site which I OWN outright.

I find it "Rather" curious that the intolerance so exhibited by the American Leftinistra are akin to the intolerance shown to the women in Iran and other similar countries. Why they bark, whine and complain about "Bush's War" and demand the impeachment of the Bush Administration, the Iranian Clerics, as others in other countries, we find this: A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die. Where is the outrage? In the same article, we find this accompanying statement: "These women and their husbands and their fathers must die," said Hassani, who is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in eastern Azerbaijan.
This, folks, is political correctness in all of its idiocy.
Before I get into the PC issue that many of us are extremely concerned about, here is a blog entry that explains just how insidious the Libtards are. Now, back to the post at hand.
For posterity, on Dec 11, 2007, HR 847 passed the House 372 Yeas and 9 Nays. 10 voted "present". "Present" equals neither a Yeah or Nay but gets slated as a Yeah because they didn't say Nay...convoluted, I know. 40 cast no vote at all. What is HR 847? Here ya go. H. Res. 847: Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith. Ain't that sweet? We had to have a "resolution" in this Judeo-Christian fundamentally founded country. What the hell is that all about? The full text is here and the vote record is here.
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith.
Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world;
Whereas there are approximately 225,000,000 Christians in the United States, making Christianity the religion of over three-fourths of the American population;
Whereas there are approximately 2,000,000,000 Christians throughout the world, making Christianity the largest religion in the world and the religion of about one-third of the world population;
Whereas Christians identify themselves as those who believe in the salvation from sin offered to them through the sacrifice of their savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and who, out of gratitude for the gift of salvation, commit themselves to living their lives in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Bible;
Whereas Christians and Christianity have contributed greatly to the development of western civilization;
Whereas the United States, being founded as a constitutional republic in the traditions of western civilization, finds much in its history that points observers back to its roots in Christianity;
Whereas on December 25 of each calendar year, American Christians observe Christmas, the holiday celebrating the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ;
Whereas for Christians, Christmas is celebrated as a recognition of God's redemption, mercy, and Grace; and
Whereas many Christians and non-Christians throughout the United States and the rest of the world, celebrate Christmas as a time to serve others: Now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world;
(2) expresses continued support for Christians in the United States and worldwide;
(3) acknowledges the international religious and historical importance of Christmas and the Christian faith;
(4) acknowledges and supports the role played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States and in the formation of the western civilization;
(5) rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide; and
(6) expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world.
This saddens me beyond comprehension. Why should the House have to perform this "duty". 195 Democrats and 177 Republicans voted in the affirmative for the Resolution. 9 Democrats voted in the negative for the Resolution. Of the 10 "present", 9 were Democrats and 1 was Republican. 19 Democrats and 21 Republicans did not vote. 391 voted out of 435. That is pretty sad and lame to boot. There are 60 co-sponsors to the Resolution.
I can almost hear the Libtards writhing in pure hatred to the resolution and the passing thereof.
One News Now, the site the Libtards HATE, has detailed commentary that all should read and heed. A snippet:
[...] "Watching Congress honor Islam during Ramadan, and also Diwali, which is a Hindu holiday, brought it home to me that we were doing that and not honoring Christianity," King shares. 'I'm Christian by faith and most of us are in Congress." As are the majority of Americans, three-fourths of whom King says identify themselves as Christians.
"This nation has about 225 million Christians out of the 300 million, and about two billion Christians throughout the world," he states. "And the foundations of this nation are a Christian foundation [and] our founders were Christian. So for us to move forward towards Christmas without honoring Christ is, I think, a great omission, especially if we're going to honor other religions." [...]
Absotively! Can you just hear the Libtards shreeking in their cauldrons of hate and despair?
[...] And yes, of course, the atheist who thinks Bush gets his rocks off byblowing the heads off Iraqi kidsis among the nine hypocrites. What a filthy little fraud. [...]
[...] Which of the two is more strongly-worded? I'll take the one that prostrates a nation before "law-abiding, patriotic Americans of African, Arab, and South Asian descent, particularly members of the Islamic faith" who have supposedly been the targets of "threats and incidents of violence" -- it sure goes a long, long way to make clear that not only is America "Okay with Islam," not only is it willing to kowtow to it so as to make doubly sure that we aren't seen as racist bigot Islamophobes, but it pulls the Clintonian move of apologizing to people who have been wronged very little, on behalf of people who have done very little wronging. [...]
In this nation, The United States, holds Islam in higher esteem than Christianity, something is very, very wrong indeed.
Here we go again with the Dick Durbin socialist give away program in the hopes of cultivating some votes in the future. I wonder if this would even be an issue of the Leftinistra if we hadn't, as a nation, killed off several generations of voters via abortions.
If you don't want to pay, don't play. Overturn roe v Wade and let the states sort it out individually. What we will find, as Mitt Romney and others have said, the abortion rates will plummet.
The above is truly indicative of the Double Standards of the Leftinistra. This is a travesty of which the penalties thereof we, as a nation, are now suffering from. The core values of the Leftinistra are in a void.
Why do they not wail and gnash teeth over this issue?
As for HR 1585, why is it that the Leftinistra are so set on giving ILLEGAL ALIENS, CRIMINALS, that which the American Citizenry does NOT have access to? What message are they sending to the citizen proper? What message are they sending to criminals?
It seems as though he has fallen from grace from his moonbat fringe fruit loops. This is what happens when you try and please everyone to save your political stature. You wind up pissing everybody off, eventually.
If you recall, Kennedy and his merry band of double standard bearers didn't want Wind Farms erected because they would block their views of Nantucket Sound. It has returned to bite him in his butt.
Liberal darling Ted Kennedy has run afoul of the left over his opposition to a controversial wind farm project in Massachusetts.
Liberals “are now heaping scorn on the 73-year-old senator,” reports syndicated columnist Froma Harrop. “Young audiences boo at his name, and the leftish ‘Daily Show’ on Comedy Central makes fun of him.”
The energy-producing wind farm on Nantucket Sound was slated to be the first such project in the U.S., and polls showed that 84 percent of state residents favor it.
[...]
But the project has been “frustrated at every turn by a handful of yachtsmen, Kennedy included, who don’t want to see windmills from their verandas,” writes Harrop, who’s on the staff of the Providence Journal.
[...]
“After 45 years in the Senate, Kennedy should be polishing his liberal legacy,” Harrop concludes. “But his manipulative attacks on this wind farm have so sickened supporters that his long career may be headed for a sorry end.”
Or will they be promoted to a Chairmanship on some committee?
Fraud and corruption is not something out of the ordinary for the Democratic Party Leadership.
From Fox:
Democratic state Assemblymen Mims Hackett Jr. and Alfred E. Steele were among those arrested, along with Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera, a law enforcement official said.
The chief of staff to Newark's City Council president was also arrested, the official said, along with Passaic Councilmen Jonathan Soto and Marcellus Jackson and five Pleasantville school board members.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to upstage a formal announcement, said the arrests were related to insurance contracts for local governments.
The arrests were first reported Thursday by WNBC-TV in New York.
Initial court appearances were scheduled in federal court Thursday afternoon in Trenton.
The U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Christopher J. Christie, and FBI Special Agent in Charge Weysan Dun have scheduled a 3:30 p.m. news conference at the courthouse.
The arrests are the latest in an anti-corruption campaign waged by Christie's office, and mark the second major corruption roundup this year.
From CBS:
More than 100 public officials in the state have been convicted on federal corruption charges in the last five years.
Thursday's arrests were the latest in an anti-corruption campaign waged by Christie's office. Two other Democratic state senators, Wayne Bryant of Lawnside and Sharpe James of Newark, are among others facing pending corruption charges.
The question remains...will they be condemned or be granted membership in the Good Old Boy Scandal Club of the Democratic Party?
Vitter. Did he do bad. Yes he did. Did he "serve his sentence" for it? Yes he did. Fine.
In the media, however, that isn't good enough. The perpetrator is a Republican and whenever a Democrat does THE SAME THING, it is not reported on most of the time and when it "IS" reported on, it is like it is no big deal. Then, I find this. (partial article)
"...Santora soon reached for the hypocrisy card: "Mr. Vitter, who styled himself as a defender of traditional conservative family values, had been a key advocate of Mr. Giuliani’s in conservative circles both in the Senate and key southern states."
Last week saw another sex scandal involving another high-level figure in a presidential campaign -- that of Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton. One of her national campaign co-chairs, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, last week admitted to having an affair with Telemundo anchorwoman Mirthala Salinas. Yet the Times July 6 story managed to completely avoid the Clinton connection.
Ironically, Jennifer Steinhauer's story was headlined "Reporting a Mayor’s Marital Woes, Minus One Significant Detail," a reference to the anchorwoman who was romantically involved with the mayor even as she read the news of the scandal. But the same headline could be applied to Steinhauer's own story for leaving off the Clinton campaign connection – and for taking the spotlight off the behavior of a Democratic mayor and Hillary ally..."
Barack Obama. Although I have no intentions of voting for the man, I did have some inkling of respect for him going up against The Rodham (Czarina) and for his “projected candor”. We all know that the politicians no longer represent “We The People”. The status quo in DC is unacceptable.
Shortly, I will have videos up in the VOD:POD of his “sound goods”.
On the same day that Barack Obama outlined his plan for tougher restrictions on lobbyists, the campaign manager to a rival Democratic presidential candidate questioned his commitment to practicing a new kind of politics.
His yapping to the Vocal Minority left fringe moonbats is laughable. It stems from the misconception that a “few radicals has hijacked a peaceful religion”. That statement right there and anyone agreeing with it, is not worthy to clean toilets at a zoo, let alone be POTUS.
Case in point. The below video, albeit the speaker has good intentions and the “sound good” sound bytes appear to be sincere, places on public display the ignorance of the inexperienced. When will politicians listen to those that know?
There are other videos in my VOD:POD listed under “favorites” of Barack. I haven’t “caught” him in any lies yet but I am sure they will follow. Of the three DNC front-runners, he appears to be the most honest. We all know that Hillary is a flat-out liar and criminal. Edwards has stated that he isn’t quite sure what a rich person is.
Naturally, no one being offered up by the DNC has a snowball’s chance in hell to match tit for tat with the likes of Fred Thompson.
Until We The People get someone that will adhere to the tenets of Reagan Conservatism, tis country will continue to suffer.
UPDATE!!
This is what I am talking about. The creature is out of touch and is doing EXACTLY what he has been whining about others doing. Double Standards. Moron.
Sen. Barack Obama told a church convention Saturday that some right-wing evangelical leaders have exploited and politicized religious beliefs in an effort to sow division.
“But somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and faith started being used to drive us apart. Faith got hijacked, partly because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, all too eager to exploit what divides us,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in a 30-minute speech before a national meeting of the United Church of Christ.
“At every opportunity, they’ve told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design,” he said.
And, of course, he’s now saying the Christian right is responsible for the split in the country–what a maroon!
A person in a “Buck Fush” t-shirt holds up a “Teach Respect” sign. Think this person sees any contradiction? Think this person is conservative or liberal? Think this person is a man or woman?
Every day I see at least one car, usually more than one, sporting a bumper sticker that reads, “Buck Fush.”
Apparently, some of our fellow Americans on the left find this message to be profound and witty. But it is not these individuals’ presence or absence of wit or profundity that interests me here — both are so obviously absent, no comments are necessary. It’s their contempt for society and their narcissism that demand commentary.
Vanity. All is vanity. And there is nothing new under the sun. Such are the words in the book of Ecclesiastes, my favorite book in The Bible. Hillary has nothing new to offer because what she has to offer to the American People has already been offered up to them and has been rejected in times past. Such is the case here, albeit quite a few of the misguided and the touchy-feely emotional types have swallowed her drivel lock, stock and lock-step.
SEN. HILLARY CLINTON (D-NY), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: It’s time for a new beginning. For an end to government of the few by the few and for the few. Time to reject the idea of an on-your-own society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a “we’re all in it together” society.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HANNITY: That was Senator Hillary Clinton yesterday in New Hampshire. So what is the senator really trying to say with those words?
Joining us now is our friend, author of a terrific book, “Words that Work”. Frank Luntz is with us.
It sounds to me like that’s — it takes a village 2.0, Frank.
FRANK LUNTZ, AUTHOR, “WORDS THAT WORK”: It’s that phrase, to end an “on-your-own society.” If there ever was an indication of where Hillary Clinton stands politically, ideologically, those are the words.
What she’s clearly saying is enough of individualism. We’re now going to do things collectively. Now, the American people do like the concept of we’re all in this together, but what they don’t want is to give up individual freedoms, individual rights.
I think that this rhetoric, if people pay attention to it carefully, they will see that this goes too far to the left, too close to social democracy rather than freedom. And I think she’ll have a problem with it in the general election.
And there we have it. Hillary and her ilk prefer do have our Federal Republic form of government as envisioned by our Framers replaced with a Socialist Democracy. And that is the path of incrementalism. This a dangerous crossroads for this country and our traditional American way of life.
Want a little insight into the way the Clinton mind works? Watch how Hillary defends her use of private jets paid for by a guy who bilked millions of dollars out of senior citizens:
”Whatever I’ve done, I complied with Senate rules at the time. That’s the way every senator operates,” the Democratic presidential contender said in an interview with The Associated Press during a campaign stop in Las Vegas.
Clinton’s travel, along with and consulting fees paid to her husband, the former president, have come to light recently in a lawsuit against Vinod Gupta, a Clinton contributor and chief executive of the data company, InfoUSA Inc.
The lawsuit by company shareholders accuses Gupta of excessively spending millions of dollars, including $900,000 worth of travel on the Clintons.
Sen. Clinton, who complained about corporate America’s largesse and skyrocketing executive pay during campaign events Wednesday, said she did not believe her message was undermined by her acceptance of the private flights. In line with Senate rules then in effect, Clinton’s campaign has said she reimbursed Gupta at the cost of a first-class flight, typically a significant discount off the expense of a private jet.
Hillary the lawyer (and Bill too) always move the discussion to legal ethics (what was technically legal - often what I can get away with) rather than morality. She doesn’t discuss whether it was morally right to take money from a sleezeball who stole from the elderly or whether it seems hypocritical to sound off about the “haves and the have nots” when she is traveling via private jet at regular airfare rates. Nope, she says “I followed the rules at the time.” And she throws in an “everybody does it” just in case she needs further cover. Sounds like a teeenager making excuses.
Just like Mr. Edwards Hillary has no shame in promoting a steal from the rich and give to the poor populist strategy as long as she gets to keep her money and lifestyle. Nice work if you can get it I guess.
“If [Nancy] Pelosi believes, as she told the [Israeli] Knesset, that Iran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons, she must explain how that is to be done without at least the possibility of recourse to military action. This she cannot do, because of the anti-Iraq war sentiment that has swept her own party’s precincts. Instead she plays domestic politics at Israel’s expense, despite warnings from our own state department that visiting Syria is a recipe for trouble. Ms. Pelosi will be fortunate if she, unlike the royal marines, is allowed to return home to America, though it is an open question where she can do more damage, over there or over here.” —The New York Sun
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”–Samuel Adams
And, of course, he’s now saying the Christian right is responsible for the split in the country–what a maroon!
Appeasement. The Mark Of The Beast of Liberalism.
