Hillary Clinton Planted a Question on CNN at the Republican Debate
According to this report, the question about gays in the military that was asked last night in the Republican debate was asked by a member of a Hillary Clinton steering committee member for gays.
CNN is denying that they knew who this man was or that they knew he worked for Hillary. CNN says that if they had known they would have disclosed that information.
I can recall two times that the moderator mentioned that they received 5ooo questions that they whittled down until they had the ones for the debate. Are we really supposed to believe that out of all those questions they just happened to let someone that works for Clinton get onto the debate? Or pehaps there where many, many, Clinton planted questions on you tube for CNN to chose from that the chances were they had to pick one, either knowingly or unknowingly?
I find it too much of a coincidence that the station that was dubbed the Clinton News Network all those years ago just happened to let this man into the debate and didn’t know who he was.
Audio: Interview With the Man Who Would Ban Spanking in Massachusetts
Cross posted at Grizzly Groundswell
Today, Michael Graham, a Boston talk show host had an interview with Jay Kaufman, the man that introduced a bill that would ban spanking in Massachusetts. Here is the link to the audio. Hopefully that works.
The audio is just under 11 minutes long and is great radio, the last question asked by Michael Graham totally exposes this person, and all liberals for the people they are. I recommend that you listen to the audio before you read any more.
Michael Graham totally ran this man around in circles. He made him sound like a fool. He got him to admit that he has no idea what this bill actually bans but he introduced it anyways.
Then the kicker, the last question Michael Graham asked was, “as a parent did you spank your children?” To which Jay Kaufman responded, “it’s none of your damn business.” Michael Graham than asked him what he had just said, to which the honorable Kaufman repeated his answer.
This was unbelievable, it was great radio. The fact that a liberal came out and admitted what we all know is true, and that is that they believe that they know what is best for us, yet don’t always live by the same standards, is shocking. By the end of the interview he was so fed up he didn’t even realize how condescending his last answer was.
Think about this for a minute. He said it was no damn business of ours how he raised his children, yet he introduced legislation that makes it his business how we raise our children! This is liberal hypocrisy at it’s finest.
This is the mindset of a liberal. It is the same mindset that the liberals use when they tell us we need to sacrifice and cut down on energy consumption and gas usage to stop global warming, yet at the same time they are flying around on corporate private jets. I am getting sick of these assholes and this bullshit. The liberals live the ultimate do as I say, not as I do lifestyle.
The nerve of this man to say it is none of our business how he raised his kids while telling us how to raise ours is dumbfounding. Not to mention the fact that he can’t even define what will become illegal if this bill passes.
And the beat, pardon the pun, goes on.
Portland Oregon to Sell “Green” Christmas Trees
Some Christmas tree growers in Portland Oregon are now setting up a rating system of how “green” a Christmas tree is. We are not talking about fake trees here, as ridiculous as that would be, we are talking about real, growing, natural trees. That is even more ridiculous.
Picking a Christmas tree is typically a matter of taste. Is the shape right? Is it too tall? Too short? Now a handful of growers in the top Christmas tree producing state of Oregon want people to consider another factor—how “green” a tree is. They’ve created a system to help consumers identify trees grown under certain environmental standards.
Do these people realize that trees are a part of nature? No tree is “greener” than any other tree.
“Consumers like to do the right thing,” said Joe Sharp, managing partner of Yule Tree Farms and co-founder of the Coalition of Environmentally Conscious Growers. “We are just helping with education.”
Just another group looking to cash in on the global warming hoax. I am getting jealous, I need to come up with a scheme to start screwing people out of money in this scam.
“Now when consumers buy a tree, they can be sure that the tree was grown with the best intentions for the environment in mind,” Sharp said.
Whew, thank God for that. Now when I cut down a tree I know it was grown with good intentions. Come to think of it, isn’t that the basic tenant of liberalism? Good intentions. No results, but good intentions.

New Hampshire Governor John Lynch’s Wife Endorses Hillary Clinton
Cross posted at Grizzly Groundswell
Today New Hampshire governor John Lynch’s wife endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
“I do not give my endorsement lightly,” she told about 100 invited guests of the Clinton campaign. “I truly believe Hillary Clinton is the right person to lead our country.” She said Clinton has the right plan on expanding health insurance to all citizens, and the experience to get it through Congress.
She praised Clinton for her work on the S-Chip children’s health insurance program, improving Tri-Care medical benefits for those in the National Guard and Reserves, testing of children’s prescription drugs, and foster care and adoption programs.
Just look at all the socialist programs the governor’s wife is in favor of. We can only assume that Governor Lynch also endorses Hillary Clinton, but we will never know for certain. Governor Lynch has decided to stay neutral and not disclose who he is voting for. This should surprise nobody in New Hampshire who pays attention. Governor Lynch has made it a habit of not disclosing where he stands on divisive issues in this last legislative session until after the bills make it to his desk, so why would this be any different?
That being said, I have to believe that he and his wife would be on the same page politically so I will assume he is also voting for Hillary, excpecially since his wife is now a national co-chair of the Clinton campaign. This really shows us his true colors. When he was elected the first time he called himself a moderate, and because the Republicans in the New Hampshire house were able to keep him in check he was able to run as a moderate again. During his second term he was given a Democrat house and his liberal agenda has been implemented. He should no longer be able to paint himself as a moderate. Now that we can assume he backs the ultimate socialist in Hillary Clinton, we have to be concerned for the future of New Hampshire and STOP THIS MAN NOW!
Even though he doesn’t have the guts to come out and endorse Hillary himself, I think he has shown us who he supports, and by doing this he has shown us to be the liberal/socialist he is or longs to be.
WAKE UP NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Massachusetts to Debate Spanking Ban
Cross posted on Grizzly Groundswell
There is a new bill in Massachusetts that the legislature will start debating tomorrow, a bill that would make it a crime to spank your children.
Parents who spank their kids – even in their own homes – would be slapped by the long arm of the law under an Arlington nurse’s proposal to make Massachusetts the first state in the nation to outlaw corporal punishment.
If signed into law, parents would be prohibited from forcefully laying a hand on any child under age 18 unless it was to wrest them from danger, lest they be charged with abuse or neglect.
This is just the latest example of the government diminishing the role of the parent and trying to infiltrate every last aspect of a parent’s rights. Who does the government think they are that they can tell somebody HOW to raise their children? We are talking about a slap on the ass or two here, that never trully hurt a child and it teaches them pretty quickly right from wrong. It doesn’t mentally destroy them for life. We are not talking about child abuse here, we are not talking about beating a child. Just a slap on the ass. By the way, if it happens in the home, how does the government regulate that? Is it just the parent’s word against the child’s?
The Democrat who is introducing this bill refuses to say whether he supports slapping or not. He released a statement through his spokesman.
“He does recognize and understand the concern many would have on legislating parental rights,” said Sean Fitzgerald, Kaufman’s chief of staff, “but the problem is the boundary is often overstepped. The right to hit should never be the right to hurt.”
He understands he may be trampling on parent’s rights, he just doesn’t give a damn. Some residents in the state are not too happy with this legislation.
I believe discipline starts at home. Are they going to start legislating that you can’t raise your voice to your kids? That you can’t tell them when to go to bed? We’ll be communists then.”
BINGO. That is what is at stake here, letting the government regulate more and more aspects of a person’s life, from what they can eat, where they can smoke, and now, how they can raise their children.

Democrat Says There is no Progress in Iraq Despite the Evidence
I previously wrote in this post that the Dmocrats were starting to change their strategy in regards to the Iraq war. I wrote that because of the recent success in Iraq that the Democrats were moving their talking points from “we can’t win in Iraq” to “Iraq is not making progress politically”, and I now have the most recent example of this in Bill Richardson.
But before I get to that I want to share this quote from Bill Richardson along with a little commentary of course:
“Progress shouldn’t be measured by casualty counts, body counts,” Richardson told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”
Oh really? Let me ask you a few questions then, governor. Who is it that constantly reminds us of the body count? DEMOCRATS! Who is it that celebrates every round number death toll? DEMOCRATS! Who is it that gleefully awaits more American deaths so they can use it for political gain? DEMOCRATS! Now that the casualty rates are down you want to discredit them because you can’t use it in your favor? You can’t have it both ways, sir. You can’t decry all the military deaths to make your point and then decry people are using the decline in military deaths against you. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
The hypocrisy of these people is simply amazing, isn’t it? The arrogance they protray when they feel they can say whatever the hell they want and they will never be held accountable is astounding.
Now, back to my original point, the change in strategy by the presidential candidates can be summed up by these statements by Bill Richardson:
“Until we withdraw all our forces, the political reconciliation that we all want — a multinational peacekeeping force, a donor conference, the three groups in Iraq, the Sunni, the Shia, and the Kurds coming together, a unification of the country — is not going to happen.”
And:
“The best way to achieve a political solution in Iraq,” he said, “is to withdraw our forces.”
There you have it in a nutshell, the Democrats new reason we must withdraw. For Iraq’s political gain. These people stare progress in the face and all the while continue to deny it because it will make it appear as if President Bush was right.
They continue to twist and turn in the wind but they cannot hide who they really are. They will do anything to get back into power and that includes wrestling defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hillary Clinton Trails Five Republicans in the Latest Head to Head Poll
According to this Reuters story Hillary Clinton now trails the top five Republican candidates in a hypothetical general election. She even trails Mike Huckabee. The Zogby poll has her trailing all five candidates by a slim margin, three to five percent, but show a drop in support as recently she was ahead in all general election polls.
To make matters worse for Senator Clinton is the fact that the same polls show Obama and Edwards beating any Republican in a general election. To be honest, I still don’t understand how Edwards is a viable candidate, but that is what the poll shows. This could be a real problem for Clinton because her likability ratings have always been real low and there has always been concern on the left that she will be unelectable because of this. Democrats, who are so anxious to get back into power could actually see this as a problem also and jump ship to a candidate they feel can beat the Republican candidate.
While I don’t put allot of stock in national polls, state polls are more important, hell Mitt Romney isn’t polling well nationally but is ahead in Iowa and New Hampshire, this coupled with the fact that Hillary is losing in Iowa to Obama for the first time has to show a real down turn in the Hillary campaign. She has to be worried.
This all seems to have started at the debate where she fumbled the question on driver’s lisences for illegals, a cut and dry answer should have been given but she tried to play both sides of the fence. This may have exposed her as the kind of person she is to those out there that still blindly follow the Clintons.
There is a downside to this poll however, as the poll shows Obama and Edwards still beating the Republican nominee, because when you think about it all of the Democrat candidates are the same anyways. They are all trying to out anti-war each other, and out entitlement each other.
As the primary season draws closer and Democrats start to take a closer look at the candidates, their opinion on Hillary seems to be changing because they fear all the baggage that comes with her.
Wake Up America Joins Vindication Media

Democrat Presidential Candidates Change Strategy on the Iraq War…..Again
Democrats are now getting worried because of the progress that is being made in Iraq. As I touched on in my very last post, the Democrats have been hoping for and trying to secure our defeat in Iraq by proposing 41 bills with a timetable for defeat, all of them going sown to defeat. Now with troop level about to be cut back because of success the Democrats are afraid we may actually win the war and that will make them look bad in the eyes of the voters because they have already declared us losers.
Democrat candidates for president have been trying to out anti-war each other but now they have to be careful because they don’t want to seem anti-victory. That is where their new problem lies.
They have started to shift from saying America can’t win, which is what they have been saying, to America can win militarily but Iraq will not make gains politically. And that is the new reason we must withdraw from Iraq. This shift in position has been gradual but noticeable, at least to those of us paying attention. It is laughable actually that they think we are to stupid to notice this change in position. The left doesn’t care what the Democrats say as long as it includes ending the war. However, people on the right should take notice as this is an example of the left saying and doing whatever they can to return to power regardless of gains being made in Iraq. Truth be damned.
The Democrat presidential candidates are beginning to twist in the wind here. They know they can say whatever they want to the anti-war left it will never change their vote unless a candidate were to actually come out and support the war, so that isn’t a problem. But their problem could actually lie in the general election. How do they mange to continue to be anti-war and pro-troop at the same time to win over enough moderate votes? Their answer is to shift their position so that they are still calling for withdrawal, while changing their reason for calling for withdrawal.
Americans will see through this, won’t they?
United States to Start Reducing Troops in Iraq Next Month
Here is how this is supposed to work. Our United States commanders on the ground in a war zone will tell the president when it will be okay to start troop withdrawal in a time of war. It is not up to politicians sitting at home to tell the president how to run the war and pass timetable for defeat just for political gain. These same politicians, if they felt strongly about it, could simply cut off the money to fund the war. They won’t, they are afraid to. So instead they have tried 41 times now to pass a bill requiring the president to start troop withdrawal.
After all these years of fighting in Iraq the president is going to start troop withdrawals. Is it because the Democrats and anti-war left have finally worn him down? No! It’s because commanders have reported enough progress in certain parts of Iraq to warrant less troops there. Imagine that, people who are actually there know better than politicians over here what the status of the war is. Who would have thunk it.
The president has stuck to his guns all along, he has continued to do what he promised he would do after September 11th no matter how his approval ratings have plummeted and we are finally seeing some progress in Iraq. We will now see our first troops come home without replacements being sent in.
Overall U.S. troop levels in Iraq will fall by about 5,000 when a combat brigade completes its pullout from the country’s volatile Diyala province next month, U.S. military officials said on Saturday
The 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division is the first brigade not be replaced by fresh troops from the United States since the U.S. commander in Iraq General David Petraeus announced plans to cut forces by some 20,000 by July 2008 as violence ebbs
We now have the right man leading the way in Iraq with General David Petraeus and the troop surge has worked even though the Democrats (the dishonorable Harry Reid) called it a failure before it even began. Has this taken alot longer than I hoped? Yes, of course. I would have loved to see us carry out this strategy from the beginning, and it appears as though it was Donald Rumsfeld who was against this strategy. But we are now carrying out this strategy and we are making huge gains.
So Democrats will press on to hurry up and surrender even as we make strides and there is talk of victory in the air. Democrats better be careful or we might actually win. This would devastate them.
