ConservaChick

...sitting here with ConservaDude watching this Presidential debate, I'm struck constantly by Barry's reference to "we" and "us." Are "we" royalty? or are "we" referring to the Democrat puppetmasters? John McCain is seriously holding his own against the royal onslaught of defensive posturing. I'm struck over and over by his sincerity and his grasp of what history has taught us. Good job, Senator. Keep up the good work.

I've been listening to the pundits yammer on and on about how Senator McCain's decision to suspend his campaign was silly. It was grandstanding. Well, this ConservaChick is proud of Senator McCain for wanting to get back to DC and focus on the job he was elected to do. Apparently, none of the pundits get it but this time on this particular point, John McCain GETS IT! I couldn't be prouder of him! Granted, working on legislation to provide taxpayer funds to bailout the mortgage industry isn't my idea of time well-spent but if Senator McCain works AGAINST the bailout then I will stand and applaud for sure! His true Conservatism could certainly come shining through and do so against the Bush administration for a change. Then who would be the RINO, eh? *cough*W*cough* Government has absolutely no business nationalizing the mortgage industry. Ever. Period. If you bought into the Democrat's idea of helping the "little guy" buy a house even though he couldn't...

Obama simply pales in comparison. Go get 'em, Sistah Sarah!! (A big thanks to the folks at Our Country Deserves Better/Move America Forward for this fun video!)

Little Mary Pat had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to them. Suddenly a big line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car. Senator Obama stepped out of one black car and approached the girl. "Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked. "Kittens" Little Mary Pat said. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet." "What kind of kittens are they?" he asked. "Democrats" says Little Mary Pat. The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away. Sensing a good photo opportunity, Senator Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl and the kittens. It was planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about these great kitten...

Don't ask me why but I found these recaps of the political conventions hilarious. Uncle Jay is always informative and funny but this other guy? Well, he's new to me but he discloses his bias and is still funny... I dunno, maybe it's the glass of wine after dinner tonight...

Talk about "Straight Talk!" Here's just another reason I wish Newt would run for President...

My mother called me on Friday, August 29th. I had taken the day off from work to finish preparations for a household move from one residence to the other. I hadn't heard a word of news all day. When I answered the phone, there was no small talk, as is the norm. There was one simple, breathless question that immediately hit the earpiece on my side. "Sorry to bother you while you're busy but have you heard the news?" she asked. I could not imagine what in the world would excite her so much. "No. What news? I've been packing all morning." "Guess who John McCain picked for his running mate!" I could hear the big smile in the question. She was giddy. Whoever it was, it was a damned good pick! I have never heard my mother so excited about anything political. She will enjoy a chat about a good speech or a chuckle over a good slam by one politician or another but I'd never heard this level of excitement over a candidate before. "Kay Bailey Hu...

One day during chemistry lab at a large college, the professor noticed one young man (an exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence,...

I'm sorry. I know this isn't even remotely political but I laughed myself silly and felt a need to share... (Thanks for providing the big laugh of the day, Kevin!)

Okay, I'm obviously very, very far behind on my internet gossip as I have just now seen the Larry Sinclair video which was big gossip news online toward the beginning of this year and for months afterward. From what I gather via browsing print press online, Sinclair appears to have failed a polygraph administered to him. ConservaChick's official line on any and all gay rumors applies here as much as anywhere else: Who cares? Not I. Here's the real reason behind the title of this particular post -- I ran across an amusing video called " Gay for Obama " on YouTube today. I would guess it was sparked by the Sinclair business since it was posted to YouTube back in March. At any rate, it's a freakin' riot! Enjoy! (Oh, PS and for the record: He was NOT "right about Iraq.")

Incredible , absolutely freakin' INCREDIBLE ! Evidently, Republicans on The Hill don't think their base is paying attention out here. We are. Here's just a partial list of the Conservatives (read "not necessarily Republicans anymore") who are all eyes on this one: Freedom Works , AngryRenters , OpenMarkets , and many, many others. So while we watch Congress continue to make economic matters worse, let's put things in perspective, courtesy of Angry Renter . Corporate welfare has never been a good idea in my book. Darwinian of me, I suppose, but allowing the unintended effects of legislative tinkering with a "free" market to put us back on the proper track (albeit painfully) is intellectually the honest thing to do. If "Bob" in the above video didn't realize the risk he was taking when he took out that ARM on a house he couldn't afford in the first place, I'd be willing to bet Bob is a much smarter consumer now. Uh... well, he ...

The comrades at The People's Cube just keep on gettin' it right and making me laugh! I know they're atheists but God bless 'em. I hope they keep up their hard work "for the common good" for years and years to come! If you need a good hearty laugh or ten, read " Iran's Mullahs Photoshop a Missile !" Tired of the constant barrage of "news" from the cult of Global Warming? Read " Drill ANBAR " for some alternative "news." hehehe And, last but not least, if you've noticed lately that BO seems to be changing his tune on issues since Hillary conceded the primary, you're not alone. Read all about Barack's Evil Twin for some enlightenment. PLEASE NOTE: If ConservaChick is dragged off in the night for liberally borrowing graphics from The People's Cube, please continue to enjoy their work. Even while making little ice cubes out of big ones in Siberia, I'll still shout, "They rock!"

these gas prices *are* gonna kill ya! ;o) Brought to you by the folks at NozzleRage ; produced by the folks at National Banana . From the email release I received about this site, it would appear that some smart and talented people have decided to get serious about one of our biggest national security risks by using comedy to raise awareness. Nice! NozzleRage: America's Humorous Antidote to Fuming at the Gas Pump Every American is getting hosed. Each time we fill up our gas tanks, we are putting money into the hands of OPEC - the oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia. The Saudis and the other countries that make up that monopoly control most of the world's reserves. Most of them pay just a couple of dollars per barrel to get oil out of the ground. Yet, OPEC is limiting production and encouraging speculation that is costing us and other consumers hundreds of billions of dollars every year. It amounts to the largest artificially engineered transfer of wealth in history. OPEC is wagi...

...it ain't just for Florida anymore! Washington D.C., welcome to the United States of America! Congratulations to the Supreme Court for managing to find four highly-educated people who still have no grasp on the US Constitution. No one puts it any better than Ted Nugent -- one of the most colorful and eloquent Second Amendment activists -- in his piece, "DC Gun Ban Blown Away," on Human Events . [...] "Just as we wouldn't need confirmation that our choice of religion is indeed an individual right, or that we could possibly need a government permit to express our individual thoughts in speech, good Americans will continue to fight for the return of our sacred 2nd Amendment rights where someday soon we will not need a government issued license to keep and bear arms. After all, from the supreme court of common sense on the not so mean streets of America, everybody I know understands clearly that 'keep' means one thing and one thing only: 'It's min...

We've all read and likely heard the "rumors" about Barack Hussein Obama, the Democrats' presumptive nominee for the 2008 Presidential election. I ran across a nifty little video (in two parts) on YouTube -- from the man who invented the internet! -- that really must be shared in an effort to edify the American voting population. Enjoy!

Even we Conservatives must admit that Barack Obama can certainly give a rousing speech. The problem appears to be that he just can't seem to settle on one creative mastermind to write those speeches. I hear that he just fired these two speech writers... ...and has since hired this one. I don't know about you but I'm certainly looking forward to BO's next speech!

The " Housing Bailout Bill ," which appears to be in appropriate jeopardy, needs to be stopped in its tracks based on the premise alone; however, it has come to light that Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has added a provision requiring online business to report sensitive customer data to the US government. Businesses such as Amazon, e-Bay, and others would be reporting your data to the IRS if this bill with this provision is passed. Talk about an invasion of privacy! What purpose is this data supposed to serve? Protecting us against a possible terrorist attack? Uh... nope. Helping provide the necessary national security and infrastructure that the federal government should be providing? Uh... let's see... nope. Keeping this representative republic a place where its citizens are free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness while they worship at the church or their choice (or not)? Gee... I don't think so. "This is a provision with astonishing reach, and it was s...

Every time I received a citizen survey from Anne Northup during her years as my district's Congresswoman, I always added a comment to the survey. It was a request that she stop adding earmarks to legislation. I supported her but certainly not because of the federal money she earmarked for this area. I became very dissatisfied when I saw how much money was being earmarked on her watch. Repeatedly I asked but repeatedly my requests for fiscal responsibility were ignored. Don't get me wrong, I support true Conservatives -- read, "Goldwater" or "Fiscal" in front of that, I suppose -- but I strongly dislike Conservatives who spend or attempt to disguise their spending like Liberals. The practice of earmarking and the waste perpetuated by the "favor factory" of the Appropriations Committee have both got to end. Now. Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) is at the forefront in the effort to stop wasteful government spending. They are waging an aggressi...
