The Conservative Thread: Back to Basics. Pass the Lasagna and Have a Flower!!

[need_a_Disney_fix]

what's up w/ gmboy95 and his threads?? You'd think his side lost the way he's acting. Give it up man- be happy for once.


Anyone else think it's a little odd to have a memorial a month away?

I personally know of situations where there were circumstances that warranted an extended wait for a funeral/memorial service. Now that I have Googled it and researched, I can totally understand this particular situation...and I am as cynical as they come.

Jennifer, I thought it was a little peculiar, myself. I'm figuring they are postponing it because he is so "busy" these days. That would be my guess. It would not surprise me either. He is very consumed with himself.

I just saw the "President Elect" podium he was speaking behind. It's bad enough that I disagree with his policies. His arrogance makes me dislike him that much more. Remember his staffers who claimed they had to refer to him as "President Obama" during the campaign? Ugh. He is just gross.

I believe I saw pictures once of the seats on his campaign airplane, and they were already embossed with President Obama.

Thanks for the information! We invited the woman who was my daughter's nanny and her son to come with us. He is 7 and autistic but remembers everything. I'm anxious to see if he'll notice the difference in color. They were our guests the last time that we stayed at the Dolphin. He called it the Dolphin's house!

CUTE!!!! i love d'world this time of year...all decorated for xmas, not too hot...so beautiful. i'm envious.

Good morning everyone! wow, I took one day away from the thread and had a lot of reading this morning. Busy little beavers we are

I find it funny that a liberal would claim that Palin needs to spend 2 terms in the senate in order to have "knowledge and experience" yet he elects a 1 term senator who spent 80% of that first term campaigning for another office, and his tag team partner, a 20+ year veteran of the senate who has proven that he really hasn't learned anything from his time except how to talk from both sides of his mouth.

She has more knowledge and experience already than both the President-elect AND the VP-elect combined. I'll take common sense over a slick sales presentation any day.

JB - my thoughts exactly.

it is not that uncommon to have it a month out. We did that with my grandma

I think it is odder how we are supposed to welcome the OS here and if someone posts opposing views over there they are told to leave and that their thread is a positive place for the OS to post and not a debate


I did post over there a couple times to clarify something but not to debate. Of course I had to run and take a cold shower afterwards

I just wanted to drop in and thank all of you for inspiring me to spread the conservative word like wildfire for 2012! I've been lurking in here since the election and it's been comforting to know there are others who have kept a level head throughout all this mess and didn't fall for the "H" hype! Thank you all!

I also wanted to share something that scared the you know what out of me, it just goes to show the kool-aid stories must be true http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/

Welcome. Have a

Thanks for the link! Well at least we know that because of Halle Berry, no paper cups will stand in BO's way!

I thought it was a little strange but figured that he has a lot on his plate right now. Of course over on the OS thread they think that by just asking about it, we all think that there was a big conspiracy with grandma and that we think her death was faked.

I love how we can't even ask a valid question or make a comment without it being twisted. It is going to be a long four years if they keep this up.

Subscribing!

WASHINGTON – President-elect Obama called Nancy Reagan on Friday to apologize for joking that she held seances in the White House.

At a news conference in Chicago, Obama said he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepares to take office in January. Then he smiled and said, "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances."

The 87-year-old former first lady had consulted with astrologers during her husband's presidency. But she did not hold conversations with the dead.

Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said the president-elect later called Mrs. Reagan "to apologize for the careless and offhanded remark." She said Obama "expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share, and they had a warm conversation."

It actually wasn't Nancy Reagan who was linked to conversations with the dead; it was Obama's top Democratic challenger for the presidency, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.


And this is from the Unifier....say stupid stuff and them make peace

Sounds like a good plan.

We ask why it's taking so long for a memorial service for hussein's 'typical white grandmother'.
Some on their side think Bush and the government orchestrated 9/11.
Who are the whackjob conspiracy theorists?

Like those stickers on eBay.

When I watched CNN's "Obama Revealed" that was one conclusion I came too--he is rather full of himself.
I hope he can do great things so he has reason to be so egotistical.

One thing I have always found maddening about McCain is the fact that he is more interested in being the dear friend of the opposition than throwing down the gauntlet and fighting. And as y'all say, there's a difference between being nasty and playing dirty and actually fighting fire with fire. There is no excuse for McCain not slamming Obama and the Dems on the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae issues, among others. Each time he'd start on an issue, I always got the feeling he found it very unseemly. Unfortunately McCain is more likely to stab a Republican in the back than blast a Democrat on policy. If you followed the Republican primaries closely, you'd have seen the absolute contempt he held for Mitt Romney. He was far nastier and gloves-off to him than he ever was to Obama.



Also agreed. My problem is I now have two pinheads for Senators. At least I have a conservative Congressman though. When I was writing and emailing about the bailout, I got a nice, thoughtful response email and later a follow-up postcard from my Rep. who voted against it twice. From Sen. Jim Webb (who voted for it), I got a rambling email almost 3 pages long a month after the fact, and the first half was nothing but ranting about Republicans and Bush. I felt like writing back and telling him to try the blame game with someone else. As a Virginian, I demand action and solutions to problems, not whining to me about how it's not your fault.

Webb has no class, and I still can't believe I'm stuck with him and now Mark "Homeschoolers, Christians, and gun owners are a threat to the fabric of America" Warner as my Senators.

I didn't like that about McCain either. Don't get me wrong, I voted for him ofcourse, but not in the primaries, I like to vote for TRUE conservatives when I can. I'm wondering if the leaders of the Rep. party get it yet. That only a real conservative gets the base excited and then elected. Why do they feel they always have to run a centrist. Obama won and he's the most liberal-liberal there is.

And about your senators?........... I have Chucky Schumer......need I say more?

What is it about Republicans who get into office and then start acting like Democrats? Our lovely RINO governator here in CA is now trying to tax us up the wazoo. He wants to increase our sales tax by 1.5% which would bring us to 10.25% here in L.A. County. And he wants to start taxing us on things we don't currently pay taxes on. WTH?!

Well, if I had to pick a tax to increase, it would be a sales tax. Not on food or necessities like that. But I think a "user's" tax is more fair than an income tax. It gives an incentive to save money and not spend it. I wish we could abolish the income tax altogether and go to a straight sales tax. Don't know the details of a plan like that.........didn't Huckabee support that? I can't remember.

I should know better from now on not to venture from my safe haven home here on this thread...

Now they're over there making fun of Joe the Plumber saying why was he on welfare twice if he doesn't want handouts. Sigh. Can't they just let things go? I mean really, does Joe the Plumber really have any impact on anything these days? It's not like he's running for any sort of office...

I'm not looking at people like Joe the Plummer to be my elected official, but I love how he cast a spotlight on what Obama truly is. While the left mocks him, they can't deny what came out of Obama's mouth............so I'm lovin' it. It's terrible what they did to him though. But you know how it is......anyone who disagrees with the great one better not have any skeletons in the closet........"search and destroy" seems to be a theme.

Anybody also notice that the new OS thread is countdown to inaguration, something else and FLOWERS. Hmm, we must be so cool they want to copy us 'cause we had that first!

Well...........Ye-ah! Duh.....

Okay, Gov Palin -- here it is:

I added the sparkles myself because, once again I see that you are a kindred spirit -- Diet Dr P is my drink of choice...

What a class act, by the way -- reminding the press that their attention should be directed towards their POTUS-elect and not to her shoes. You go, girl! I do wish there had been another POTUS-elect though...

My goodness, another reason to like her.........that's one of my favorite drinks. And yes, she is a class act. Very proud of her.

Thank you and I found info from The Honolulu Advisor also.

As far as the Westboro folks go, every family has someone that is dysfunctional. This particular group pretty much fits the bill.

And NY is right behind you, I think. We're in trouble financially. But, I heard a report on TV that NY is the #1 state for the highest taxes.......something I could have told you by looking at my checkbook. So I don't know how much more blood they can squeeze out of this turnip. But my financial future doesn't look good.

If we wouldn't have most of the trip paid for already, I think we would cancel our WDW trip. I've made it as cheap as I can get.........$3300, 9 nights, 5 people, 3 bedroom........and that's for everything, even gas for getting there. I didn't think that was too bad for Peak season/Easter.



Sorry, who are the "Westboro folks"? And why would they be picketing a funeral? Are they involved with the birth certificate thing?

I personally know of situations where there were circumstances that warranted an extended wait for a funeral/memorial service. Now that I have Googled it and researched, I can totally understand this particular situation...and I am as cynical as they come.

So can I. He's POTUS-elect.........I can think of all kinds of reasons why you would delay a memorial service but POTUS-elect would have to be number one on any list.

Mommy, hold me!
That woman must be smart or good at governing because it will never be said that she won because of her good looks.

It's Skeletor! Run! Yeah, she's not winning in the looks department, that's for sure and it's gotten worse over the last 4 years. Sigh.

Wow, where did you find this information? I always felt it was so wrong that Bush got blamed for this. He told the governor that he was there to help but she never asked. Don't even get me started on the mayor of New Orleans. That guy was the biggest idiot. Lets see, a cat 4 or 5 is headed right towards you, and you make everyone go inside the Super Dome, where you know it floods? And by the way, I will hideout for 3 days while the people of your city suffer and starve. And to top it all of, the idiots vote for this man again. Can we say stupid.

I live in Florida, we are used to hurricanes. The local government is responsible before the storm. You know, evacuation routes, shelters, etc. Our governors stay in touch with with FEMA from the beginning. In 2004 we had 6 or 7 hurricanes hit land. No problems with our government.

I used to work for FEMA in 2005/2006. FEMA did not screw up. It was on Blanco and Nagin. They dropped the ball. There were things that could have been done, and tried to be done, but some people just couldn't run with the torch... There were things that were trying to be done and they screwed them up.

When you know your city is below sea level and you do not prepare, you're at fault, no matter how you want to slice it. I live in an eathquake zone and I know that it's up to me to prepare for an earthquake, not my city, state, or federal government.

I can't believe they voted him back in again either.
