FLOTUS in London - photos

"Try to have fun. Try to breathe a little bit," Mrs. Obama said. "But also win, right?"

Teh stupid that burns so bad you'll blister

Debunked by the Post in 2011, this hot mess is making an encore appearance:

Forwarded as received, but without comment; please do the same......

From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008, 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” the then Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.

General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played......

Obama continued:, “The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails – - – perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments …….”
“When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice,which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past.”


“Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.”


I mean Come On, Comrade.

That was posted just yesterday on a militia site, which is linked to frequently in comments at http://teapartyorg.ning.com.

Since I actually know people who have made broad reference to junk along these lines, maybe you do too. Instead of fainting from frustration, here's what I learned: Meet the Press has archives going back to 2003. Very cool!

2008: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28452155/ns/meet_the_press-resources/t/meet-press-transcripts-resources-video/?ns=meet_the_press#.UBFXQ7RrMTY

Guess this was a huge deal when it first surfaced. Google returns almost 18,000 hits for "General Bill Ginn+Obama" So, big lie.

It's a little spooky to come across it again. These people walk among us. They drive and shop and do laundry. They have children and this one guy, at least, has the ability to create a website. And they vote. How did this crazy get to be so so big?

CO wounded "will be struggling with these hospital bills for the rest of their lives"

First the very good and somehow, for me at least, healing news:

Hugo Jackson Medley was born at 7:11 a.m. local time on Tuesday, according to University of Colorado Hospital spokesman Dan Weaver. Both mother and child are doing well.
His mother, Katie Medley, escaped the Colorado movie theater attack uninjured...


Welcome, little baby.

Sadly, the new father lays in a medically induced coma with severe injuries. And then there's this:

Like many of the young 20-somethings at the movies that terrible night, the Medleys have no health insurance, according to their friend West.

“Caleb and his family have no insurance, and these hospital bills are going to be well into the hundreds if not thousands if not millions. Caleb and Katie will be struggling with these hospital bills for the rest of their lives,” West wrote on the website.

Pretty damned Exceptional, America.

Michele Bachman Won't Deny Being Vetted for VP



Now wouldn't that be something? I'd stay up to watch Joe debate her.

Tea Party Members Conspiring Armed Overthrow of Government

Right out loud at TeaParty.org

We need to establish a D-DAY and hold to it!est. assemble points and storage points for weapons outside of D.C. Traveling from the south all states up to D.C. are CWP states , therefor VA. is the nearest the W.H. and should have the arms stored near the northern VA. border and shuttled to us after we establish our position at the W.H. Obama should be taken into custody first and work down from there. VP, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the traitors. NO VIOLENCE. Call for arms only when absolutely needed. This is a peaceful, bloodless citizens revolt and may be our last chance to save our nation. They may try to stop us but I don't think they are up for it!! As soon as we begin we should concentrate on rapid action with custody teams assigned to each pol. Not just libs, but cons. as well who have worked for the downfall of OUR COUNTRY. Let's have a planning session soon. whoever is the MFWIC must send out a notice two weeks before the meet. Let's GO !! xxxxx

Right on! NO VIOLENCE as they peacefully take the government into custody.

This is the same nitwit that the Secret Service visited before. After the ruling this week I just got curious about how they were handling it so I peeked in and holy moley, they are all so phreaking nuts. Some will look for help from county sheriffs and some are trading email so spies (ahem) won't know their plans.

I have sent a request to our Governor, asking that he pass a law to protect our privacy on line. We need to get a class action suit against Google and Government to block the harassment and spying. We all need to break out our old CB radios for local comm, and sign up for private email accounts or a message board that does not broadcast our messages. Is there a lawyer on this site that would help? They have been messing with my connection since last night. This is first time I have been able to get here since!


So. Everyone be on the look out for Custody Teams, I guess?
