Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

The President and First Lady would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. That's right Bill O'Reilly, a Merry Christmas.
God I love this couple!
I could not be prouder that they are the ones living in the White House and representing my country.
I Merry Christmas greeting from POTUS and FLOTUS, now the Alaskan Polished Turd will try to outdo them with her own address to the nation. Cue up the narcissist.
Just saw "Lincoln," and was amazed by the similarities in working with Congress, fighting for the right, and just being the hardest working man in the planet. So glad the nation agrees.
President Obama and his beautiful family make me proud to be an American! Merry Christmas to all IM'ers and a special thanks to Gryphen for providing us with a safe & sane place to land! And a happy place too!
The First Family spends this time of year very close to my home. It's a wonderful feeling to drive by their rented property knowing the world's most popular and loved leader is there. Saturday the President took Michelle and the girls on a rainforest hike to Maunawili Falls. So refreshing to have them appreciate the same things we commoners do.
They seem like such a nice couple. I think they might actually be christian, and I guess I have to forgive them that, however much it makes me question their intelligence :-)
Kevin Hassett, a former economic adviser to Mitt Romney, hosted my table of eight that night,
“Minorities came out like crazy,” said Hassett, sighing. “White people didn’t get to the polls. There are far more African-Americans voting than they expected.”
Hassett, with an oddly cheerful, Oh-What-My-Country-Has-Done-Now mien, predicted economic doom under Obama, the most likely scenario being another Great Depression, which would make 2008 look like a joyride.
Hassett gave his audience the insider’s view of the Romney campaign, describing how its election-monitoring software crashed on November 6 and Obama was probably behind it, “because those guys are so evil.”
“The thing we have to understand is, these are people who don’t have any morals,” said Hassett. “They’ll do anything. I’m one of their No. 1 targets. I mean, they really want me bad.”
Then Hassett pivoted to the liberal media. “I actually think that Goebbels was more critical of Hitler than the New York Times is of Obama,” said Hassett, tucking into a piece of strudel.
“I was in the middle of the fight against the propaganda, and I have stories like you wouldn’t believe. These people are so evil. They’re basically Fascists. It’s unbelievable.”

Rasmussen offered some friendly advice about approaching minorities. “You show them that you really care, you talk to them ****as grown-ups**** on a range of issues, you get them involved,” he suggested, “and you accept the fact that it’s a long-term investment. And you accept that you can learn as much from them as you can teach them.”

BOSS: You notice none of the workers are white.
CAREGIVER: Except the managers upstairs.
BOSS: Well, that’s the way it should be.

As Thomas downed the rest of his drink, Duane said the only way out of the current quagmire is a “revolution,” citing the famous Thomas Jefferson line about watering the tree of liberty with blood from “time to time.”
What kind of revolution did he have in mind?
Duane’s eyes crinkled into a big smile. “You ever heard of guns?”

This was a phenomenon that was common on the cruise—the conservative pundits and columnists from the National Review attempting to gently disinter their followers from unhelpful conservative propaganda. For people who believe in the truth of works like Dreams From My Real Father, a conspiracy-theory documentary that argues that Obama’s real father was a communist propagandist who turned Obama into a socialist Manchurian Candidate, this could be difficult work.
For some reason I watched the beginning of Payliar's Quitter Video, and as she walks past Piper *holding Trig*, Palin just touches Piper's head - doesn't even acknowledge Trig.
Shocking, I know, but it's just so interesting that her actions tell the real story.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to them too! If there were a third term in holding the office of President of the US, I would vote for him AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you President Obama, VP Biden and their beautiful, wonderful and educated wives! We could not be better represented!
Love this so much: they are warm, welcoming, comforting, and real.
