Congratulations, New Orleans Saints!
Tags: Open Thread.
Just wanted to send out our congratulations – great season, great game!
***************************************
Sorry I was remiss on the writing, guys and gals, but we had the party last night and after four or five beers, I’m probably not in shape for political discourse…
Sarah Palin’s TEA Party speech on You Tube.
Sarah Palin: Smarter than her opponents.
The GOP is encouraging new comers to run for office – a smart, but risky move. Smart because it brings new blood in and taps voter anger with the political maching; risky because you might get the odd bad apple in there…
Gore Vidal called a “crackpot”…read to find out who, apparently, was the last person on earth to figure this out.
Following the money on Climategate.
Climategate – a failure of Old Media journalism.
Mark Steyn: “The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called ‘Ludicrous Speed.’”
And the Saints win it by 7.
UPDATE: The Tebow ad. Leftist, pro-abortion people are idiots, ya know?

Caucus of Corruption
If, after watching Sarah address the Tea Party convention(with help from her crib notes), you still have hopes & dreams of her becoming your next President, how would y’all envision the country under her leadership? What changes do you see her instigating and how, in the democratic process, would she go about implementing those changes. It would be much appreciated if you could restrain from nonsensical & abusive answers and give an honest reply as I am asking a serious question and am interested in hearing what y’all have to say.
CO,
You saw her speech so you already know.
So she expects to have a Republican majority in the house & senate gleefully rubber stamping all of her policies, with no opposition from the Democratic party, eh, Mark?
CO
for reply read pages 1-10 in ARGUING with IDIOTS!
Some how I don’t think CO wants to read about how to argue with himself.
Mark
And the Saints win it by 7.
I hope so ………BUT the Buccaneers did beat them! YIKES!
What’s with Palin’s Israeli lapel pin?
Flim,
Its just Palin passing the Israel Test. You seem to be wanting to flunk that one…
So she’s such a true patriot that she wears the flag of another country? Sounds like more of the same rather than a revolution.

Well I know Obama wants to pass it after shamefully backing down on illegal settlements with Netanyahu recently.
filsy
ask her
’cause you reckon she’d give an intelligible response?
“I just thought the design was nice and it looked so pretty!”
CO,
We don’t even know if she’ll run in 2012. You guys really need to let go of your hatred of this fine, American woman.
Doesn’t matter if she runs or doesn’t run in 2012, Mark; in the interim she’s providing the the world with great entertainment. I don’t know of any other democracy that has such wild & wonderful political figures as y’all do. It’s a regular three-ring circus.
CO,
You think of it like that because she’s just beyond your reckoning. More fun for us is to participate in our march towards victory and then watch the crestfallen looks on liberal faces as we win.
Mark, just how does Palin differ from what Bush/Cheney offered the country? I thought the Tea Party was meant to represent a whole new approach to conservative politics but just how does it differ from partisan Republican politics?
The Tea Party, flimflam, is to ensure that democracy survives. As it is, our educational system is leading us over the cliff into the deep, dark hole of communism, a government controlled by atheists. The Tea Party is to prevent that.
My point is Jeremiah, that it seems like a Republican movement – nothing different to what Bush/Cheney offered and yet they proclaim themselves as something new and different. Just how do they dissent from the Bush/Cheney orthdoxies? What’s new and innovative about their brand of conservatism?
flimflam,
It’s true that the Tea Party movement is to support the same small-government ideals that President Bush carried out during his administration’s two terms. Of course, they had their faults on some issues, but overall, they held that government should be representative of their citizens wishes…not the government telling its citizens how it should be….because then it’s no longer a “representative” form of government, but a dictatorship. The Tea Party is to prevent that dictatorship from occurring.
There are two major/minor differences in this Tea Party compared to past administrations depending on how you look at it, in that, one – it is a well-energized form of Conservatism, through educating the public about the dangers of communism and this administration’s efforts to head us down that road. And secondly – the Tea Party is the better alternative to taking up arms and settling our differences in that way. Though I’m afraid that we are headed in that direction because Obama’s administration is intent on ramming the communist manifesto of Karl Marx down our throats in a real physical sense, and that is when we must resist, or revolt, rather.
If we can make it to election day, though, we can have a sigh of sweet relief as we finally put Obama and his cronies out of their positions of leadership. And I think that will be a real possibility, because all the promises that he’s promised in the past he has not kept, so he cannot be trusted in the future to maintain position of power for which he is clearly not suited for. It’s a matter of trust, and doing the will of the people, all the way. And that is why we must get the people educated before all is lost and it is too late.
Go Saints! 31-17…
Flim,
That is because you only read lefty sites who are telling you what to think about Sarah Palin and the TEA Party movement. You start in on some independent thought and then get back to us.
Mark,
I seen the Barracuda return last night in her speech at the first Tea party convention, and again in her interview with Chris Wallace today. She was really laying the law down to Chris in that interview.
Jeremiah,
Didn’t see the Wallace interview – while I didn’t work today, had clean up from Saturday’s party, Church and Super Bowl…but she’s a tonic for the United States.
So this raises the question again of why is she such a ‘tonic’ if all she offers is more of what Bush/Cheney delivered?
What really amazes me, is how she maintains a positive attitude in the face of impending danger. Entirely fearless. Of course, I guess it comes natural seeing that she has faced off some of nature’s most dangerous critters up there in Alaska. But no, seriously speaking, she does it because she sees the need in doing what’s right because she loves America too much to let it be destroyed by the communists (leftists) currently controlling our government.
It is my sincere dream or wish to go up there one day and see that beautiful Alaskan wilderness and hunt a moose or grizzly bear, and maybe do a little salmon fishing, drop down then and go see Yosemite, Glacier and Yellowstone on over to the Grand Canyon.
It’ll never be a reality, though, I know, because I can’t take heights, and you have fly into these places. Plus, the money, my gosh, it would take an arm-and-leg to hunt and fish up there just one time.
Oh well, it doesn’t hurt to dream, I guess. :)

Yes, Jeremiah, let’s hope the tea party folks can keep their heads until election day and not make the mistake of mounting an armed revolt against a democratically elected government.
Keep your fingers crossed that cooler heads prevail.
Yes, let’s hope that the current administration doesn’t try anything stupid like passing a gun control bill, healthcare bill, or some other such trick. That would be an unwise move to say the very least.
“I guess it comes natural seeing that she has faced off some of nature’s most dangerous critters up there in Alaska”…
—————————-
Is it really a fair face off, jeremiah, when one of the dangerous critters is toting a firearm and the other isn’t?
Sure it’s a fair face-off … it’s just a stroke of luck that you put a brown bear down with one shot. There was a man who was going back to his camp up there near the Alaska-Northern British Columbia border and the bear was following him, and he had a big bore gun, but he shot that bear 12 times and the bear STILL got a-hold of him and killed him. Now if you’re talkin’ about moose, I’d say it’s not too fair of a face-off, but you can kill one or two to eat and still have plenty of moose to see, and the ones that are left are usually healthier because they have more grass and bush to graze and browse on, you see. That’s just like here, they opened up season on the does here, because they were getting too many and getting a disease called …. I forget the name of it, but it’s similar to mad-cow disease, so we had to thin them out a little, and now, a few years later, the deer are as slick and fat as they can be. BUT, we have had an awful winter this year, the snow has been relentless, with more on the way…so we have to feed them a little grain, them and the wild turkey, the turkey are having it really rough, because they can’t scratch around for food with the heavy snow pack.
Keep your fingers crossed that cooler heads prevail. – canadian
Thank you for that sage liberal advice canadian. We really are on the precipice of something that could get out of hand, but thankfully we have grown ups like yourself, who are looking out for the rest of us. Well done.
You know come to think about it canadian, I am just glad that there hasn’t been any snuff films made about Obama like the ones made about Bush. Right?
flemman
are you stuck on stupid?
whats with the BDS? he is gone go take a looooong nap.
CO
refer to page 225 in arguing with idiots for your answer.
cluster
maybe we could make one, and use CO to play the part of 0bummer?
Woo Hoooo
go Saints.
I never thought they would pull it off, Heck I even won a $1.00 off the wifes friend.
PRO-ABORTION GROUPS PLAY THE “H” CARD OVER TEBOW SUPER BOWL AD
John G. Winder , The Cypress Times
Published 01/28/2010
No one has seen the ad yet it is already labeled as “hate”.
Focus on the Family has received approval from CBS to air an ad during this year’s Super Bowl which delivers a pro-life message. The ad features one famous face and his mother.
The back story is this: Pam Tebow and her husband were working as Christian missionaries in the Philippines in 1987. Pam became pregnant. Doctors at that time advised Pam to abort her child due to health reasons. She did not. She had a son, Heisman Trophy winning former Florida Gators football quarterback, Tim Tebow. This is the story that apparently Pam and Tim Tebow relate in the pro-life ad slated to run during the Super Bowl.
I say “apparently” because despite abortion group accusations that the ad is “un-American” and has a message of “hate”, no one has seen the ad yet.
Erin Matson, VP of N.O.W., says she objects to the airing of the ad because CBS (the television network carrying the Super Bowl) has a longstanding policy against airing controversial ads during the big game.
Ms. Matson says, “The abortion debate has no place in the Super Bowl. I organize abortion rights rallies all the time and I recognize how inappropriate it would be for me to sit in the stands with signs at the Super Bowl.”

I like to personally thank President Obama for throwing his support to the Indiannapolis Colts! His successful endorsements have shown…..
OH WAIT!
GEAUX SAINTS!
Congratulations to the Saints! They were my emotional favorite, but I thought Indy would both win and cover the spread. In fact, other than figuring both teams would score less than a total of 55 pts (the official over-under line in most places), there wasn’t much about the game that went the way I expected. I expected NO would figure out a way to get to Manning, but they never did. They blitzed a lot, but touched him only a couple of times. Because of that I figured Manning would eat them alive, but he didn’t do that, either. Indy shut down NO’s running game. I didn’t expect that. Indy’s goal line stand before the half was just amazing. But eventually NO found a way to live without it. Who’d a’ guessed? On offense, Indy had blocking schemes that routinely opened up holes big enough to drive a truck through. That surprised me. I didn’t see many Indy games this year, but it got me wondering… why were they last in rushing offense with a line that could do things like that? Apparently they need a truck. I figured there would be a lot of turn-overs, but there weren’t (but the only one there was was a biggie — Porter’s interception late in the 4th qtr iced the game).
All in all, it was a clean, hard-fought game that was fun to watch. And it was especially more so to watch it with a bunch of roudy Marines. Damn, those guys were fun, lol!
