Speaker Face Lift: Enforcing the law in UN-AMERICAN, illegal immigrants are great patriots!
Well, I truly wonder if this knucklhead has any clue what national sovereignty is. I also wonderhow she expects America to remain sovereign if it cannot or will not enforce its laws and borders? Can she think past her cheap pandering tactics?
I wil give you several videos and let you get as pissed over this as I am.
First JWF has a clip of Pelosi calling enforcement un-American.
Next there is this video at Gateway Pundit , Pelosi praises patriotic illegals!
MichelleMalkin has lots of great info on this including a lambasting of Pelosi’s “San Francisco” values, and some choice words from Texas Republican Lamar Smith for the un-American Speaker of the House!
I will just say this about Pelosi. She took an oath to defend the Constitution, which she clearly does not intend to do. She is unfit to serve as she puts her anything-for-a-vote- tactics above the best interest of America. She is a disgrace to her esteemed office.
Ah, the heartache when the Obamaprompter goes nutty!
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address in Washington when he realised it all sounded a bit too familiar.
It was. He was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Mr Cowen stopped, turned to the president and said: “That’s your speech.”
A laughing Mr Obama returned to the podium to take over but it seems the script had finally been switched and the US president ended up thanking himself for inviting everyone to the party.
Mr Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the “teleprompt president” over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech.
Well this makes me feel better
Well, all of you folks who were worried about Eric Holder as AG ought to be relieved! Seems that only some Gitmo detainnees could be tried or even release in the U.S.A! What could possibly go wrong?
Some of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners could be released into the United States while others could be put on trial in the American court system, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Wednesday.
Holder, who was chosen by President Barack Obama to lead the administration’s efforts to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba within a year, said the review of what to do with each of the prisoners had begun.
About 240 terrorism suspects, including suspected planners of the Sept. 11 attacks, are being held in the prison. Many have been detained for seven years without charges and some were subjected to interrogation techniques denounced by critics as torture.
The administration faces intense political resistance to the idea of bringing the prisoners to the United States as part of closing the detention camp. The administration seeks to transfer some detainees to Europe or other countries while freeing others.
Holder told reporters at the Justice Department that the administration’s review, made on a case-by-case basis, would determine whether the prisoners need to be put on trial or whether they can be released.
Video-Beck, Malkin, and Goldberg on AIG faux outrage!
Pure gold, these three are dead on target in calling out Congress and their bogus outrage and unconstitutional tactics!

Awful news, Nastasha Richardson dead at 45
Tony-award winning actress Natasha Richardson died Wednesday at the age of 45 in a New York City hospital.
An official statement released says “Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha.”
“They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time,” said the statement.
The actress had been transported back to New York City from Canada, where she suffered a head injury after falling on a beginners ski slope.
While we are spending ourselves straight to Hell, why not take the bullet train too!
What is another 2 trillion anyway? I just hope the government can supply a bit of Vaseline for the $$$crewing we are going to get!
President Obama’s climate plan could cost industry close to $2 trillion, nearly three times the White House’s initial estimate of the so-called “cap-and-trade” legislation, according to Senate staffers who were briefed by the White House.A top economic aide to Mr. Obama told a group of Senate staffers last month that the president’s climate-change plan would surely raise more than the $646 billion over eight years the White House had estimated publicly, according to multiple a number of staffers who attended the briefing Feb. 26.“We all looked at each other like, ‘Wow, that’s a big number,’” said a top Republican staffer who attended the meeting along with between 50 and 60 other Democratic and Republican congressional aides.The plan seeks to reduce pollution by setting a limit on carbon emissions and allowing businesses and groups to buy allowances, although exact details have not been released.At the meeting, Jason Furman, a top Obama staffer, estimated that the president’s cap-and-trade program could cost up to three times as much as the administration’s early estimate of $646 billion over eight years. A study of an earlier cap-and-trade bill co-sponsored by Mr. Obama when he was a senator estimated the cost could top $366 billion a year by 2015.
Wow, they are spending more money than we make to intiate a program that will send our energy bills through the roof to solve a problem that does not even EXIST!
America, all I can say is stock up on this!
Great idea! Lets spend ANOTHER 1.5 TRILLION to screw up health care in America
That is 1.5 trillion, AT LEAST! I say at least for two reasons. Government NEVER spends what they initially say they will, and the 1,500,000,000,000 YES, there are ELEVEN freaking zeroes in that number, is up from the 634,000,000,000 only nine freaking zeroes there! So, who really knows how much this will end up costing, never mind how we will ever pay for it.
Oh, no doubt we will pay with less choice, more red tape, and lower quality care, this we can safely predict. But how the government will choke enough out of us to pay for this disaster no one can say.
Your daily dose of anti-gun zealotry
So, a teacher can invite “experts” to speak to students about guns. OK, fine so far. But, there is a catch! They can only ask a gun control advocate. Any gun rights advocate might offend someone!
Whew! We are sooo lucky not to have Sarah Palin!
Great op-ed that grills those that were so opposed to electing the “unqualified trainee” Sarah Palin as VP! Be sure to read the whole thing!
So, how IS the Empty Suit Administration working out anyway?
Now that the Obama presidency is nearing the 60-day mark, it’s time to thank those fastidious scribes on the left and the right who worked so hard to warn us against Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, and the dire things that would surely occur if she ever got close to executive power.
How right they were to insist that she was unfit for high office. Let’s just imagine what she might have done:As president, she might have caused the stock market to plunge over 2,000 points in the six weeks after she assumed office, left important posts in the Treasury unfilled for two months, been described by insiders as ‘overwhelmed’ by the office, and then gone on to diss the British Prime Minister on his first state visit, giving him, as one head of state to another, a set of DVDs plucked from the aisles of Wal Mart, a tasteful gift, even if they can’t be played on a TV in Britain. (Note, the Prime Minister, who is losing his eyesight, may even be blind in one eye).As vice president, she might have told Katie Couric that when the stock market crashed in 1929, President Franklin D. Roosevelt went on TV to reassure a terrified nation. Or on her first trip abroad as Secretary of State, she might have, as the AP reported, “raised eyebrows on her first visit to Europe…when she mispronounced her “EU counterparts names and claimed U.S. democracy was older than Europe’s,” then gave the Russian minister a gag “reset” button, on which the word “reset” was translated incorrectly.What a good thing that Palin, whom Christopher Buckley called “an embarrassment, and a dangerous one,” wasn’t in office to cause such debacles, and that we have Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton instead.
Latest stroke of genius from Team Obama? Carbon tariff!
Another day, another sign of glaring incompetence!
Mr. Chu, speaking before a House science panel, said establishing a carbon tariff would help “level the playing field” if other countries haven’t imposed greenhouse-gas-reduction mandates similar to the one President Barack Obama plans to implement over the next couple of years. It is the first time the Obama administration has made public its view on the issue.
“If other countries don’t impose a cost on carbon, then we will be at a disadvantage…[and] we would look at considering perhaps duties that would offset that cost,” Mr. Chu said.
Li Gao, a senior Chinese negotiator from the National Development and Reform Commission, told Dow Jones Newswires Monday that a carbon tariff would be a “disaster,” would prompt a trade war and wouldn’t be legal under World Trade Organization agreements
“It does not abide by the rule of [the] WTO and, secondly, it’s not fair,” Mr. Gao said, adding that his delegation would relate China’s concerns to U.S. officials.
H/T to Hot Air where Ed Morrissey has the line of the day
This administration keeps itching for a trade war. They’re eventually going to start one, and what better way than nonsense about carbon tariffs? The diplomatic Gong Show continues
Another H/T to Ace, who points out that global warming, the reason behind all the talk of carbon taxes is not panning out
So to sum up, we are going to destroy our economy by taxing and regulating it to death while starting a trade war with a major trading partner (who we expect to continue to finance our reckless spending) all in the name of solving a problem that doesn’t actually seem to be happening.
Quick, someone hit the damned gong already!
My Irish Ancestry
Since Doug posted information on his family, I decided to include a little information on mine.

DALEY was derived from the Gaelic O’Dalaigh, a name meaning ‘the grandson of Dalach’. This surname is among the thirty most common in all Ireland, and is most heavily distributed in Munster and Leinster. The O’Dalaigh sept had its territory in County Westmeath in the barony of Magheradernon, which now forms part of the barony of Moyashel and Magheradernon. Branches of the sept established themselves in other parts of the country, notably in County Galway, County Clare, County Cavan and Cork, where they flourished and multiplied, accounting for the numerous Daley descendants to be found today.

My father has done some great work on our family tree, and here is the Hagin Coat of Arms
Quarterly, argent and azure, in first quarter, a shoe proper, on a canton per chevron gules and ermine three covered cups; in second quarter, a flag of the first charged with a dexter hand; in third quarter, a lion rampant of the sixth; and in the fourth quarter. A fish naiant proper. The Crest is a Cuffed ermine, the hand holding a dagger erect, both proper. The Hagin motto is: Vinceue aui mori or translated Victory or Death.

Ah, in honor of St. Paddy’s Day, Irish lasses!
And a little music by the corrs, and Bono, man the ladies in that band are lovely!
Why do I cheer when Jihadists are killed?
This is one reason! And it is, I think, a damned good reason too!
Now THAT is funny
Not funy ha ha, but funny as in asinine!
On Monday’s Countdown show, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann hosted left wing actress and comedian Janeane Garofalo to discuss FNC analyst Bernard Goldberg’s recent enumeration of the “five worst offenders” of what Bill O’Reilly called the “far left smear machine,”and Garofalo took the opportunity to paint conservatives as angry racists who inspire violence from some of their non-intellectual followers. Garofalo: “The right wing has a way of always having an enemy, whether it be immigrants or Arabs or brown-skinned people, black-skinned people, homosexuals, women. They all, kind of, rally around an enemy, an other, that they can get mad at. And death does occur.”
After accusing conservative activist Grover Norquist of “handing out talking points” to a “right-wing machine,” and after mentioning former Vice President Cheney’s recent contention that President Obama’s policies would endanger the nation’s homeland security, Garofalo called the “personality type” that she claimed motivates some non-intellectual conservatives a “scourge” and an “unfortunate part of our society.” Garofalo: “A lot of the people in the right-wing base are not the most intellectual people in the world, not the most savvy people in the world, and they are definitely quick to anger, and quick to blame other people. … it’s a very sad, sad thing, and it’s part of the human nature of a personality type that tends to identify as Republican or conservative. And it’s an unfortunate part of our society. It’s a scourge on our society.” Olbermann concurred: “It is, indeed.”
Jeaneane, you two-faced Leftist tool! It does strike me as sadly ironic that Leftists like you are always trying to demean the intellect of Conservatives. I mean really, let’s take a peek at the ideology of the Left for a moment.
You buy into the junk science of global warming, or climate change, or whatever the Hell you are calling that mythical threat to our existence this week.
You claim that anyone who rejects climate change is rejecting science. Yet, you embrace abortion on demand despite mountains of legitimate scientific and medical evidence that it kills a human being.
You, the Leftists, still embrace the ideals of Karl Marx, I know you would say you do not, and that I do not know what Marxism is, but Jeaneane, Leftists DO embrace Marxist ideals. Let us make a list.
1- Many Leftists, particularly radical environmentalists loathe private property rights. One of the pillars of Marxism is an end to private propertry.
2- Many Leftists want more governmental rights and less parental rights in the raising of children. Mandatory pre-kintergarten ring a bell? Take a stroll through the history of Marxist regimes and see how parental rights fared.
3- Leftist despise, and are constantly trying to erase gun rights and the most basic human right, the right to self-defense. Leftists love to lump ALL violence together, and label it as a bad thing. Self-defense is violent yes, but is a necessary violence that thwarts crime, and defends the innocent. Jeaneane, Stalin and other Communists disarmed their subjects. Hmmmm
4- Leftists are consistently campaigning to erase portions of history that offends them, or that they do not want taught. Stalin would LOVE you for that Jeaneane! He was famous for erasing opponents from photis and historical texts, as if they never existed.
5- Leftist LOATHE profits. It is odd that they don’t care how much anything costs, as long as no company makes “obscene” profits. Gas could cost $5 or$6 a gallon and the Left would beam, as long as that cost was from huge, punitive government taxes. But if gas is $2 or $3 a gallon, and an oil company makes a profit, then Leftists are outraged! A million acres of forest can burn and it is OK, but let a lumber company seek to harvest trees, on land it will REPLANT, and the Left goes berserk! Again, HMMMM it seems that Marxism, was very opposed to profits and Capitalism.
6- Freedom of speech is a buzzword the Left tosses around at every turn. They act as if they invented it and are its only protectors. But who invented political correctness Jeneane? Who invented free-speech zones on college campuses? Who tries to stop every Conservative who is invited to speak at a university? Who steals college newspapers that carry op-eds that the Left finds offensive? Who is trying to stamp out every public mention of God Jeaneane? Conservatives? Hardly! It is Leftists like YOU! Funny for all the Left’s cries that they are not Marxists, they certainly have a multitude of ideological similarities. HMMMM
One last thing Jeneane. Isn’t it odd that while you rant about how violent the Right is you say things like “A lot of the people in the right-wing base are not the most intellectual people in the world, not the most savvy people in the world, and they are definitely quick to anger, and quick to blame other people. … it’s a very sad, sad thing, and it’s part of the human nature of a personality type that tends to identify as Republican or conservative. And it’s an unfortunate part of our society. It’s a scourge on our society.”
So, Jeneane, using YOUR arguments, YOU are, apparently saying that the world would better off if, you know…..some unfortunate parts of our society just were not around?
Oh no! Shamnesty lives!
Today should be a day for SHAMROCKS, not SHAMNESTY!
The Hill reports that President Obama will “huddle” with Hispanic Democrats tomorrow to talk “immigration reform.”
Translation: The seeds of the next shamnesty are being planted:
A “greener” St. Patrick’s Day?
Hmmm, let me think, should I go green this year? Naw, not that the ideas are not presented in a humorous way, but, no thanks!
Well, St. Patrick’s Day is upon us. Can you think of a better time to throw a green party? Nope! You can’t. So here are some fun and easy ways to get started:
1. Drink local beer
It’s probably available down the street from you — and don’t tell me there isn’t local beer. Find something from your area with these handy maps from Beermapping.com, which will point you to breweries near you. Just deselect the other options like “beer bars,” and “homebrew stores.” I’ll probably fill up a reusable 64-ounce growler of some Kelso brew, or maybe something from Sixpoint Craft Ales — both breweries are about two miles from my apartment.
Thanks, but no, I am never really got into binging on St. Patrick’s Day anyway. I mean if you need an excuse to drink? You probably should not drink.
