I had my teeth cleaned yesterday. I walked in and sat down with Ann, my hygienist, and she said "Z, what's going on in our country? Everything I hear from the new administration is about attacking the successful! Don't they realize they pay the bills, they hire us, they keep this country running? How can this be happening in America? We're spending ALL this money and we're not sure where it's going!"
Ann is right. And, by the way, how bad can things be when Hillary's just given $900 million to Palestinians? (Gee, maybe Americans could have used a little of that to pay for that stimulating part of the bill, STD prevention....? or maybe the frisbee park?) The deal is that the Palestinian Authority is supposed to 'organize' the dispensing of those monies. Ah, good.........the same kind of transparency and accountability we give Congress. Nice!! (not) If America was smarter, and Hillary more honest, we'd be saying the same thing I heard a comedienne say recently about the nonaccountibility of the billions we've given to bail-outs. "Accountability? I want RECEIPTS!"
So does my hygienist. And she's right.

A receipt would really show his desire for a transparent government, right?
I know what they'll say,'Oops, forgot that darn receipt book again'.
Blessings.
Ann is right.
So many of us have it figured out. Too bad our elected non-representatives cannot.
at least when you go to the hygienist, you expect to have spark stainless steel instruments stuck inside your mouth, poking and proding and drawing blood...
Now I forget where I was going with this analogy :)
Oh well. The point is, I would rather spend four straight years at the dentist getting a root canal than see this country suffer all the damage administered by Obama and the dems.
I.H.S...we're never going to have anything close to transparency. Yup, they'll have 'forgotten'!
Brooke, you'd love Ann. She was a centrist but I think she's leaning Right ... who can blame her?
DaBlade....me, too. There's a line in MY FAIR LADY "I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling....than to ever let a woman in my life"! I'd say "...than to ever let my country have this strife!"? Well, I had to rhyme!
Hillary just gave $900M to the Palestinians? Like hell she did! Hamas runs the Gaza! She just gave $900M to Hamas! Accountability? This is a no brainer! Wanna bet our $900M buys a lot of missiles to fire off into Israel.
Yes, sir. And now President Obama wants us all to run and buy stocks.
I guess so we can watch more money get sucked down the drain.
Let's see, Obama wants to do a deal with Russia and offers to ditch our missile system if they can promise to keep control of Iran.
Obama wants to tax contributions to charities too.
Well, I hope the people who voted for this man are happy.

Smart hygenist. I'm still having trouble getting past giving the terrorists a billion dollars.
da..SO good to see you around! And YOU have the WHOLE RUSH SPEECH at your place..GOOD ON YOU, friend!!
WV..you just nail it. I love your comments. I'm thinking the people who voted for him aren't happy unless they plain just HATE America.
Chuck...imagine? And Hillary wants to make SURE it doesn't fall into the 'wrong hands'. Knowing this admin., she probably means ISRAEL!
Watching John Bolton tonight on FOX. Scared me, he's so right...and we're on SUCH a downward spiral..so naive, so childish, so trusting. unbelievable..
Have we finished paying for W's war yet?
Sue, half of America believes it was our war and Iraq's war..and everyone by now knows we're winning. I love to see the Iraqis fighting with us even when their families have been killed for having done so. "I want my country's success and I will work with America" was what I saw an Iraqi say last week ...thank GOD for "W's war", huh!?
I saw only 3 minutes of Larry King tonight.."Hey, Bob Woodward? What did you think of Rush's speech?" Bob Woodward smiles.. King retorts "Ya.....all you can DO is LAUGH"
This is America... .we respect people with differing opinions, as long as they have our country at heart, not for socialism, not dissing leaders of other countries, etc.. or we DID.
Sue, are you ashamed of Obama's lying about earmarks yet? 9000 of them? STD prevention. Frisbee parks? Rayburn museum? tattoo removal? "There are NO earmarks on this bill, I'm PROUD of that!" Isn't he something?
Good he's "proud" of that, because he can't be PROUD of dissing Gordon Brown today. Or sending Winston Churchill's statue back to England...WHEN will this man grow up and show some class and dignity? That's okay..WEdnesday night is Hip Hop night at the White House........I'm sure he'll spend more than an hour with his buddy Stevie Wonder...with lobster.
Woman Honor Thyself: Imagine HIllary's naive behavior? She should know better. but, they don't.
While I grow exceedingly more angry every day at the current administration, that 900 million to the palestinians was unthinkable.
"Accountability? I want RECEIPTS!" I don't know who said it (before you, I mean) But I LIKE it!
first i am glad you survived your cleaning. i like a "fresh mouth", but boy do i hate having to go through a trip to the dentist office to have it done!!... oh z this was a great teaching moment for you! we know the left's goal is to strangle the idea of a created individual. so when we have a chance to example these actions, like this one was, we need to do it. because the eventual realization of these unmistakable leftist blob policies grow the "revolution". a movement of the people z, a movement of the people!!.. he he!
Reminds me of Warren Buffet's comment that his secretary paid a higher effective tax rate than he.
As a result these stories about working folk shedding tears strike a false note.
So if people are taxed in some reasonable proportion to the wealth they control and the wealth they have looted in the case of the financial industry we are going to disappear as a nation.
Pardon me if I just shake my head in disbelief at your naivete
Ducky! Sometimes I wonder about you.
I am a Conservative who believes that CAPITALISM doesn't WORK without GOODNESS. And HONESTY. I've said this countless times, but you don't seem to read much, you just rant.
But, do you UNDERSTAND the subtle and dangerous precedent your president is setting? Insinuating CONSTANTLY, every single DAY, how the rich are evil? Is that a country you want to raise children in? "Don't be TOO Successful!"
I want a country which applauds success and its ultimate reward. I want a country where the people understand the value of a dollar and wants to decide to help the needy, not have a mandate. This worked for years, but your ilk is destroying faith-based institutions so nobody will be able to go to them anymore...etc ..
You know that..this is all planned, Ducky. And I resent the shit out of it. That clear enough?
You're WINNING..YOu have a cesspool country of HUGE government, a pres who honors the Chicago Bulls for more time than the PM of England, one who slams those who 50% of this country admire, has said recently he does think conservative talk radio should be shut down (don't tell me he's going for FAIRNESS, that's just plain STUPID, that's like saying ROCK THE VOTE wanted Republican kids to vote too!!!!! HAAAA!)
I hate the world your type's creating. You would, too, if you understood that Mao Jacket you'll get in 5 years just might not go with your very hip and cool jeans.

-------------------------
He has merely pointed out that they should be taxed at a progressive rate. Warren Buffet agrees.
Were does the evil enter?
Considering the wholesale looting that Wall Street indulged in, I'd say he's pretty restrained.
This worked for years, but your ilk is destroying faith-based institutions so nobody will be able to go to them anymore...etc ..
------------------------
Prove it. Obama has not made any move to restructure Bush's faith based initiative. He has stated that will remain intact. Personally, I have no objection so long as the charity is not used as a parochial religious platform.
You seem to be hysterical for no reason, z.
You would, too, if you understood that Mao Jacket you'll get in 5 years just might not go with your very hip and cool jeans.
-------------------
Hmmm, you equate Democratic Socialism with Mao.
See, the far right is so far off the page that efforts to communicate and come to an understanding just aren't possible.
You're delirious. You trashed the place for thirty years and now you're surprised the pendulum is going to have to move back to a centrist position.
Ducky, if you don't believe churches and synagogues won't lose their tax status..and soon, you're the one who's delirious. I spoke to a woman on the MEdved Show who said she does that; Not into mosques, where we could actually hear threats to us..no, just churches, where she turns them in if the slightest mention of abortion or a political candidate is mentioned.
Odd that she didn't turn in those churches featuring speeches by Hillary and Obama last year, eh?
I'm sorry for you; twist as you will, you'll never quite get it.
z - Remember, I'm Liberal. So according to the rules of the game, I speak against Bush, and because you are Conservative, you speak against Obama. I don't believe in Bush's war.
And, sue, I'm suggesting it was never "BUSH'S war" and that it's not a total write off and ridiculously meaningless because half of America believes in this war. Especially now with the good news coming..except you're not hearing about it because the media didn't like "Bush's War", either.
Sue, do you feel comfortable with a media which withholds truth and mischaracterizes to suit their agenda?
Becuase I"m a Conservative and you're a Liberal doesn't exclude that there's truth on both sides, right? And, just because the media's in bed with the left, doesn't mean Conservatism is as evil as we hear.
z - I've never used the word 'evil'
to describe Conservatives. I just think it's all a bit crazy. And I've never heard you say anything good about Liberals - especially that there is any truth to be found in them.
To be honest, I don't find this blog to be any better than the media itself.
Whatever subject comes up concerning the present administration, I always know what the reaction will be - without any thought having been giving to it.
A dental hygienist was good enough to be Co-President Clinton's national security adviser all through out the 17 Islamic terrorist attacks on American targets that occured while Bubba was smoking au de fat chick dipped cigars.
Sue...you said :z - I've never used the word 'evil'
to describe Conservatives. I just think it's all a bit crazy. And I've never heard you say anything good about Liberals - especially that there is any truth to be found in them."
I don't have much good to say about liberals anymore...I did..I liked Moynihan and O'Neil...I thought they loved this country and would NEVER push for anything remotely like redistribution of wealth or appeasement..NEVER.
"To be honest, I don't find this blog to be any better than the media itself."
Sue, this is an avowedly CONSERVATIVE BLOG.. the media should be fair and balanced. All I have to do is promote Conservatism, expose things to the light of day, and hope something sinks in. I'm not here trying to be fair. But, I'll never insult, rarely demean unless really provoked, and welcome liberal viewpoints.
It's funny, I meet a LOT of liberal friends here in LA and, over the years, many have said "You know, Z...you listen to us and even try to get our points..libs don't do that, I admire you" Sadly, I don't respect them anymore; not since obama. At least I respected them before.
"Whatever subject comes up concerning the present administration, I always know what the reaction will be - without any thought having been giving to it."
If you think it pleases me to constantly be so shocked and saddened by obama's actions and feel the need to expose them, you're sadly mistaken. He's a president (hard to say MY president, sorry) and I like to think we respect the office if we don't respect the man. VERY hard to consider this man's in the WH.
Feingold begged obama not to sign the Omnibus, did you hear?
Robt Byrd told him he was taking far too much power with all these appropriately called CZARS in the WH.
The media's mute on that, but the Democrats are waking up. I hope it isn't too late.
