Saturday Open Thread – August 11th

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Wisdom of The Crackers….

His name was John, a traditional Cracker;  he was from Apopka, Florida….. And he needed a loan, So… He walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan Officer.

He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an International redneck festival for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank.

The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the South for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s private underground garage and parked it. (more…)

Put Up Or Shut Up !!…. 90 days to the ballot box

My simple message to those who advocated previously for, and proclaim faith in, Mitt Romney to defeat President Obama.   Where is your candidate now ?

I’m done listening to excuses for Romney’s feeble, weak, and ridiculous defensive positioning when he is being attacked by the Obama Campaign machine….  His campaign response sucks.

People keep saying Romney is incapable of going on the attack against President Obama due to (_____ fill in the blank ______).

Horsepucky !

That’s not true.  He’s perfectly capable of viscerally ripping an opponent. Remember what he did to Newt and Santorum in the primaries.  He is NOT incapable of doing that. – Sharon

He is choosing not to.   P.E.R.I.O.D

Wisconsin Shooting = Terrorism…. Meanwhile Fort Hood Shooting = Workplace Violence

Cultural Marxism Runs Amok

Of course, no-one in the media would challenge defining the Sikh Temple shooting as “terrorism” with the ethnicity of the gunman, Wade Michael Page, who was white, and the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, who is muslim right?

(CNSNews.com) – U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, speaking at the Sikh Temple shooting memorial service in Oak Creek, Wis., on Friday, called the tragedy “an act of terrorism, an act of hatred,” and “a hate crime that is anathema to the founding principles of our nation and to who we are as an American people.”

The gunman, identified as Wade Michael Page, shot nine people at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin – killing six and injuring three others. Page, a suspected white Supremacist, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police. (more…)

Conned-stituents – DNC Defines the Neccessary Optic

I’m calling the Democrat National Convention “Lolo-Pro-loser 2012”.  “Representatives” needed for the conned-stituents.

A dark skinned one legged,  female artist and former Iraq combat soldier; who is pregnant from spending her life savings on IVF, and now without health insurance having received the Medal of Valor for saving a troop of newly discovered white supremists in combat, is coping with parents who own a chick-fil-a franchise because she wants to marry a Palestinian woman in North Carolina…. or something.

WASHINGTON DC – Advisers to President Barack Obama are scripting a Democratic National Convention featuring several Republicans in a prime-time appeal to independents — and planning a blistering portrayal of Mitt Romney as a heartless aristocrat who “would devastate the American middle class,” Democratic sources tell POLITICO.

According to convention planning documents, the three-night convention in Charlotte, N.C., early next month will seek to “[e]xpose Mitt Romney as someone who doesn’t understand middle class challenges” while also burnishing “the President’s image as someone whose life story is about fighting for middle class Americans and those working to get into the middle class.” (more…)
