America: The Cause of All the Worlds Problems

Hey, did you know that everything bad that has ever happened in the world is America's fault? No kidding! I didn't know that either until Barack was elected president and told me. Turns out that it goes way beyond supplying Mexico with guns and consuming all their drugs. It goes beyond being arrogant and harming great nations like Cuba and Venezuela. Our negative impact on the world goes back to biblical times. Did you know that it was actually the United States, and not Ramses II, who enslaved the Hebrews? Bet you didn't know that the United States was organizing Crusades against Muslims in the 11th century, 200 years before Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. Are you aware of the fact that America is directly responsible for the spread of the Bubonic plague across Europe? All true - just ask some of our leaders.

Let Them Drink Tea!

By this point, you'd think that there was nothing the media could do that would surprise us anymore. It's no secret that their collective brain views Obama as the second coming and that all the real estate between New York and L.A. is populated by banjo-picking hayseeds. They no longer hide their agendas like they once attempted to do in the interest of preserving some semblance of journalistic integrity. Their opinions and goals are now clearly spelled out. So then why was I so surprised at how the liberal media viewed the tea partiers? Why was I surprised when they called us "racists" and "hicks" and "puppets of FoxNews?" Why was I surprised when they started using teabagging jokes about us in their newscasts?

At first, I was pissed. I sat down, cracked my knuckles and got ready to type up some hatemail to all those so-called news networks. But then I realized something. When a person starts throwing out those kinds of labels, it's because they have nothing else intelligent to say. It's like a kid arguing with another kid on the playground and then calling him "Fat."

By calling all the tea partiers "racists" and "hillbillies", you don't have to do the work to investigate the true reason behind the protests. These journalists could have spent some time actually listening to people and comprehending this activism but that would take too much time and effort. It's easier just to slap some derogatory label on the whole thing and hop back on a plane to the Hamptons.

To Marcus and Dasy

Our hearts are broken for decorated Navy Seal, fellow Texan and American Hero Marcus Luttrell. On April 1st, some fiends went on a dog-killing spree and killed his beloved therapy dog Dasy with a 9 mm. Marcus had been given Dasy as a a gift to help him recover from his injuries as well as the traumatic experiences he endured during his mission in Afghanistan. (For details, read his book: Lone Survivor - linked at right). He even named Dasy after his three fallen comrades. Marcus expressed that his bond with the 4 year old yellow labrador was so strong that he felt she was his daughter. As someone who loves their dogs like children, I cannot begin to imagine how he feels. I encourage everyone to say a little prayer for Marcus and for Dasy. I will also say a prayer that those dog killers die in jail.

Biden the Blowhard

It's fairly easy to see why Obama's handlers never let Joe Biden talk during the campaign. If Barack has a tongue made of gold, then Joe's tongue is, well, horse manure. According to a recent news article, Biden stated that he chastised then President George W. Bush on more than one occasion.

"I remember President Bush saying to me one time in the Oval Office," Biden told CNN on Tuesday, "'Well, Joe,' he said, 'I'm a leader.' And I said: 'Mr. President, turn and around look behind you. No one is following.'"

In 2004, on HBO's Real Time with Bill Mahar, Biden said "When I speak to the president - and I have had plenty of opportunity to be with the president, at least prior to the last election, a lot of hours alone with him. I mean, meaning me and his staff," Biden said on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" in April 2006. "And the president will say things to me, and I'll literally turn to the president, say: 'Mr. President, how can you say that, knowing you don't know the facts?' And he'll look at me and he'll say - my word - he'll look at me and he'll say: 'My instincts.' He said: 'I have good instincts.' I said: 'Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough.'"

Hmmm. Well, numerous Bush aides, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer and Former Advisor Karl Rove have all disputed these assertions. Rove even commented "It didn't happen." Rove, a FOX News contributor, said in an interview with "On the Record, "I hate to say this, but he's a serial exaggerator. If I was being unkind, I would say liar, but it is a habit he ought to drop."

Candida P. Wolff, Bush's White House liaison to Capitol Hill, said the only meetings she remembered between Bush and Biden also included other lawmakers. She said such meetings were held in the Cabinet Room or the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, not the Oval Office, and certainly did not last for "hours."

This is not the first time the veracity of Biden's assertions has been challenged. In 1988, he dropped out of the presidential race after being accused of plagiarizing British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock. The Washington Post also cited "the senator's boastful exaggerations of his academic record."

Last year, liberal Slate magazine recalled that "Biden's misdeeds encompassed numerous self-aggrandizing thefts, misstatements, and exaggerations that seemed to point to a serious character defect."

Also last year, Biden came under fire for telling a questionable story about being "shot at" in Iraq.

"Let's start telling the truth," Biden said during a presidential primary debate sponsored by YouTube in July. "Number one, you take all the troops out -- you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the Green Zone, where I have been seven times and shot at. You better make sure you have protection for them, or let them die."

But when questioned about the episode afterward by the Hill newspaper, Biden backpedaled from his claim of being "shot at" and instead allowed: "I was near where a shot landed."

Biden went on to say that some sort of projectile "landed" outside a building in the Green Zone where he and another senator had spent the night during a visit in December 2005. The lawmakers were shaving in the morning when they felt the building shake, Biden said.

Wow. How's that for transparency. You think this guy's gonna be honest with you when the going get's tough?

Or is it that Obama is just as full of crap, only he's much better at saying it?
