It’s the Weekend

I caught the press conference of the release of the American hikers that have been held in Iran for two years. One of the first things Shane Bauer said was “…we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in America and Iran.”
Nice. America has spent millions of dollars trying to win your freedom and the first thing you do is bring out your Rachel Corrie claptrap and take a big dump on us. Turns out Shane works for queen of the anti-American “progressive” media – Amy Goodman and Democracy Now:

Arguing over what to call Establishment Republicans is as silly as arguing over what term to using when describing Social Security.

And yet you continue to do it.

Arguing over what to call Establishment Republicans is as silly as arguing over what term to using when describing Social Security. Its a needless distraction that does not solve the problem. Two guys are sitting at a campfire and a snake slithers in, they both start arguing about what kind of snake it is. Then the snake bites one of… Read more »

Either that or people are just tired of self-appointed leaders overusing silly terms to the point where they lose all meaning.

I find those people more to my liking than the self appointed leaders who dislike the descriptors.

Seems like a lot of the same people who didn’t like RINO are now complaining about the use of the term “Establishment”.

Either that or people are just tired of self-appointed leaders overusing silly terms to the point where they lose all meaning.

Angela Merkel in her rainwear, if that’s what it is, as pictured on Drudge tonight, looks like she might belong to that Heaven’s Gate comet/suicide cult from 1997. Very unstateswoman-like.

Oh, and the cow ate the cabbage slowly, thoughtfully, and at night while the farmer was still asleep.

I was in seminar all weekend.

Then I watered my side garden and few other potted plants and tackled my dirt pile. I moved… Read more »

The idea any set of politicians in Washington or anywhere else is the “establishment” of the party simply flies in the face of reality.

They are one faction in the Republican party. They don’t own the party. Goldwater wasn’t one of them. Reagan wasn’t one of them. Sometimes they get their candidate nominated. Often times they don’t. Less frequently they get him elected.
