Are we having fun yet Hillarcrat’s?
Another rant by: BettyJean Kling
Ok- I am blowing my top and God only knows what my fingertips may come up with this time- all I know is I have just about had it with this nonsense! I have only one two part question concerning when enough is enough!
The TV - the papers - the radio - still blaming Hillary - poor Obama - I am sick of it and we want her in his cabinet? Why so he can beat her up till they all get tired of it - or find another women they like beating up better?
It is obvious that the Dem Party, Obama, the Obots and the media will never tire of using Hillary as their favorite whipping post so my question is when will she tire of taking it and when will we tire of idolizing her for standing there and accepting it?
If you are tired Hill taking the fall and smiling about it all tell me here?

ERA IS within our reach!
Tune in Mon. 8 PM Eastern - Do not miss my guest Idella MooreIdella Moore is founder and Executive Officer of a national, single-issue, non-partisan organization whose mission is to finish ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment would guarantee legal equality to men and women and should it be ratified it would become only the second constitutional guarantee for women. The only other right that women are explicitly guaranteed in the Constitution is the right to vote.
Idella's support for the Equal Rights Amendment began in the 1970's but it was in the early 1980s, while a student at Florida State University, that she became an active grassroots participant during the last intense efforts to get Florida to ratify the ERA. Like millions of others, Idella was devastated that the amendment was not ratified by the deadline, June 30, 1982.
It was in protest of that ratification that Idella moved to England in 1982 and remained there for the next decade and a half. She and her family returned to the US in the late 1990's but it wasn't until 2002 that she learned there was a renewed campaign to ratify the ERA. Within a few months, she formed 4ERA.org. Initially founded as a Georgia group, because of overwhelming demand, a year later hers became a national organization. It is the only, national single issue ERA membership organization. It now has an online membership representing men and women in 49 states, from all political parties and across all age groups.
Idella does a great deal of research and writing about the ERA and gives presentations to organizations at the local, state, regional and national levels. Today, hers is either leading, guiding or giving technical and advocacy assistance to campaigns in 13 of the ERA unratified states.
Idella holds a BA in Philosophy and an MA in history. She is the mother of a 16 year old daughter and lives in Smyrna, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.

Dedicated to the Jackasses who insist I hate Men and/or Hillary for letting us down
seems like I am hitting nerves for both these groups lately so here's to both groups
Kiss my grits -I’m just asking for a little R E S P E C T for all women
By BettyJean Kling
Women have always been so misunderstood. The minute we try to get some respect we are immediately shut down. Today I got a comment to one of my posts entitled “anti-male sexist much?”
I love my 2 sons and my 6 grandsons and my sons-in law (well 2 of them anyway) and I cry for my son Mikie daily who passed 8 years ago. No I do not hate men – I although I am not liking Mr. Anonymous who didn’t even have the balls to sign his name.

Woman is the Nigger of the World
John Lennon Lyrics - 1970’s (?) Woman is the Nigger of the World Lyrics
Another rant by: Bettyjean Kling
Tears were shed in the streets, throngs celebrating in Times Square could be heard from 1st. Ave., the media was in a frenzy, Obots were in heaven, black leaders were lined up to tell us how proud they finally were of America (Michelle was thinking it to herself no doubt) and headlines read “History” was made on Nov. 4th 2008 in America because a black was elected to the White House. I was in tears too but I scratched my head and asked what the hell is so historic about placing yet another man in office?
Hold your celebrations folks. We are not there yet- history was not made - we did overcome- Martin Luther King’s dream was not realized. Wasn’t it King who said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”? Weren’t some of those little children daughters? So now all of a sudden skin color became the factor that everyone is judging how we make history? Was it because his face was black and for a short blip in history blacks were kept as slaves? Or maybe you would say we are celebrating a black man reminds us of slavery and somehow this partially black man with no slave background transcends that dark part of our history- well well that may be quite a stretch but we are still not there yet!

Democratic leaders in the U.S. House discuss confiscating 401(k)s, IRAs
-Carolina Journal Exclusives
Dems Target Private Retirement Accounts
By Karen McMahan
November 04, 2008
RALEIGH — Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts — including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration.
Triggered by the financial crisis the past two months, the hearings reportedly were meant to stem losses incurred by many workers and retirees whose 401(k) and IRA balances have been shrinking rapidly.
The testimony of Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, in hearings Oct. 7 drew the most attention and criticism. Testifying for the House Committee on Education and Labor, Ghilarducci proposed that the government eliminate tax breaks for 401(k) and similar retirement accounts, such as IRAs, and confiscate workers’ retirement plan accounts and convert them to universal Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs) managed by the Social Security Administration.

MSNBC Promotes Themselves as "The Power of Change" and Chris Matthews is now the White House Jester
~ Foolish journalism
MY JOB IS TO MAKE THIS PRESIDENCY SUCCESSFUL
It's official, Chris Matthew's job in higher office is the White House Jester
who doesn't know he's a Jester which makes him an wicked FOOL
By Mark Finkelstein
November 4, 2008
It's taken them awhile, but good to see that MSNBC has now seamlessly integrated its own promotional advertising with that of the Obama campaign.
An MSNBC promo that just aired, touting the network's election coverage, concludes: "Watch MSNBC, and experience the power of change." And as you'll see from the screencap, who is at the center of MSNBC's coverage but Keith Olbermann. Oh, and prior to its parting shot, the promo's soundtrack is the voice of JFK, in his famous "ask not" line from the 1961 inaugural address.

An Evaluation of Obama's Health Care Plan
- The following is an evaluation of Barack Obama's Health as transcribed from the candidate's website (see video).
Obama: "The system's broken, I think people all across the country recognize that."
He is correct. We spend more of our GDP on health care expenditure's with less return on life expectancy.
Obama: "I don't accept the idea that in the richest country on earth we should have 47 million people without health insurance, and millions more being bankrupt from medical bills."
Herein lies Obama's first failed assumption regarding economics. Riches and resources do not lead to economic welfare. The protection of that property of resources leads to welfare. He views economics as the job of distributing scarce resources. Economics is rather mobilizing a market aggregate such that existing resources of production, however abundant or scarce, are combined in news ways to create new value.

Obama Hid His Father's Socialism From Readers

The "Rosebud" of Barack Obama's DREAMS FROM MY FATHER.
There's a big mystery at the heart of Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance. What was Barack Obama doing seeking out Marxist professors in college? Why did Obama choose a Communist Party USA member as his socio- political counselor in high school? Why was he spending his time studying neocolonialism and the writings of Frantz Fanon, the pro-violence author of "the Communist Manifesto of neocolonialsm", in college? Why did he take time out from his studies at Columbia to attend socialist conferences at Cooper Union?
And there is more mystery in the book. Click here to read this article

Remy Martin should be boycotted
On the subway they have plastered the walls with posters depicting a white woman with a chain wound around her neck and a black woman “playfully” holding the chain in her mouth, as if about to yank it.
If the races were reversed there would be an outcry.
Whatever the pervs may try to rationalise about sex play, whatever, the message is that it’s open season on white women, and with so many liberal males “getting thrills” up their legs at misogynist Obama & cohorts, it’s just increasing tacit permission for violence against women - this time, racial violence against white women, and some of us have already had to deal with that - alone and unsupported by higher (political) ranks in law enforcement.

Contrast of Citizenry for Your Perusal
Contrast of Citizenry for Your Perusal
Although I do not know Citizen Larry Bumgarner- I am sending you a link to his hard work for your perusal. I wish him the best!
If Bill Ayers is afforded the space to write his bullshit wherein he laughs in the face of McCain and then both Hillary and Sarah as he asks us to swallow his crap all I can say is let’s give Bumgarner a soapbox of his own – he damned well deserves it more than a unrepentant terrorist!
No?
Below please find the latest from two citizens who choose to fight against our government. One man files a complaint that may never come to naught but he files it under the law and asks us to join him. The other who once chose to blow up buildings, kill innocent people, has taught our children to kill their parents from our so called esteemed universities, and even honored Bobby Kennedy’s assassin and was lauded as a great citizen for it and who now continues to chide us and laugh in our faces.
You decide!
You know Ayers past history now read his latest smack in the face from the shameless terrorist bastard! He wants Vitamin C he deserves arsenic.

DENIED ~ Hillary Clinton Not Granted Her Request to Chair
"What?!? Yes, you run around on the beach, Barky...I'll drag my ass around these 57 states for you. Then you and another holier-than-thou Kennedy can give me the finger on MY health care plan (been in my back pocket since the big dawg was in the White House, btw) that you STOLE.....just like every other damn idea I had. Seriously, I started out annoyed at how often you said "I agree with Hil" or "what Hil just said" during our debates, but I ended up just snickering at your unoriginal inept ways." - What I wish Hil would just say...or something like it.
*rolls eyes* Are all the women in Washington wearing some "Spit on Me" tee shirt that is invisible to people without political power in D.C.?
Just wondering.
DENIED ~ HILLARY CLINTON NOT GRANTED HER REQUEST TO CHAIR A SUBCOMMITTEE ON HEALTH COVERAGE
Hillary Rodham Clinton's dream of overhauling the country's health-care system as the steward of a new Senate subcommittee has reportedly flatlined.
The New York senator had made health-care reform the centerpiece of her presidential campaign. After bowing out of the race, Clinton pushed fellow Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy, the chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, to create a special health subcommittee for her to head.
But the Massachusetts senator, who's battling brain cancer, has shot down that idea -all but dashing any hope Clinton had of pinning her legacy to universal coverage.
Michael Myers, Kennedy's staff director on the committee, ended any speculation by telling the trade publication Inside Health Policy that Clinton would not chair a subcommittee. Kennedy will instead hold health-care proceedings at the full committee level, Myers said.
"In the end, it's President Obama who's going to lead the effort for us," Myers told Inside Health Policy.
According to The Washington Post, Clinton had sought the subcommittee to grab the health-care policy reins away from Kennedy, a champion of reform.
Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines told The Post the senator would assist however she could.
Clinton told Kennedy and Majority Leader Harry Reid "that she stands ready to help President-elect Obama in any and every way she can to enact comprehensive health-care reform, which she has sought for nearly two decades," Reines said.
Clinton discussed her future endeavors in a Time magazine interview this week, quashing speculation she wanted a Cabinet-level job in the Obama administration or a seat on the Supreme Court.
"I'm interested in standing on the South Lawn of the White House and seeing President Obama signing into law quality, affordable health care for everybody, and voting in a big majority for clean, renewable energy and smarter economic policies," Clinton told Time.
