Scott Brown was never a true conservative. But the problem that's plaguing the GOP is that there are too many scared rabbits. They rather be popular or liked by the media rahter being a true conservative advocates.

Or more bluntly they're chicken shit!




Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) scolded the senator for opposing the House GOP budget from Rep. Paul Ryan.

The Hill
An Illinois Republican on Monday said Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) should be "ashamed of himself" for opposing Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) budget plan.

"Respectfully, Scott Brown ought to be ashamed of himself," Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) told Neil Cavuto on the Fox Business Network. "This is the defining moment of this generation. We have got to be bold. We know these entitlements have to be reformed to be saved. He knows that."

Walsh added that any Republican opposed to the plan was motivated by "political reasons."

"Any Republican that doesn’t vote for this or doesn’t support this is purely being guided by political reasons," Walsh continued. "This is not time to be politically scared. Every day I am in this town I am more convinced this president has no clue as to the financial cliff we are about to fall off of.”

The Sun reports these girls Shore look good as they prepare for stardom ahead of their TV debut.
The four Geordie Shore lasses show they are the bust in the world of reality TV by posing in racy black lingerie

And they vowed to show viewers that they are even sexier than the girls from The Only Way Is Essex when the show kicks off on MTV tonight.

Vicky Pattison, 23, told Nuts magazine: "What's really sexy about Geordie Shore is that we're all ourselves, whereas girls in Essex are constantly dolled up to the nines."

And when asked if they would say that Newcastle is the only way, rather than Essex, 20 year-old Charlotte Letitia-Crosby hit back "that's exactly what I'd say!"

But they made it clear that they respected the TOWIE gang.

When asked if they'd prefer a night out with the Essex girls or the posh Made In Chelsea cast, Sophie Kasaei, 21, replied: "Essex all over".

The trio, along with Holly Hagan, 18, will join lads Gary Beadle, 23, Jason Gardner, 24, Greg Lake, 26, and James Tindale, 20, in the Newcastle version of Jersey Shore, which sees them have a wild time while sharing a house together.

More government intrusion into the private lives of people. This new expansion of the smoking ban to parks, beaches, and pedestrian mass seems very wrong to me.

And I’m not even a smoker!

However, it’s become very fashionable to treat smokers like modern-day leapers. However, there’s a huge hypocrisy involved here. If mother government hates smoking so much and it’s so dangerous, why not ban it entirely?

The answers is obvious, Big Brother wants to continue collecting taxes for cigarette sales. So smoking is so terrible, but not terrible enough to cash in on it.

"It's not fair, Ya know. I'm a smoka. That's my choice. I smoke.It's not gonna make me stop," said New Yorker Frank Zieran.

Leave to the clueless Left to attack a Republican on foreign policy. These are the last people to that should criticize anyone given we have a community organizer masquerading as president with an approval rating in the low 40s.

“Former pizza executive Herman Cain announced on Saturday in Atlanta that he is “running for the president of the United States, and I’m not running for second.” Previously, Cain has shown a lack of depth on foreign policy, stating at one point that he doesn’t know enough to say what he thinks about the Afghanistan war.”

What Shakir doesn’t report is that Cain said he doesn’t have access to the “on the ground” situation as well as intelligence reports only available to a president.


Cain is also showing much better judgment than candidaten Obama who criticized Bush left and right only to follow Bush’s program to the letter when became president.

Obama doubled down on drone attacks!

If ever a case deserves the death penalty, this it.

In a most disgusting display of hubris and ignorance, President Barack Hussein Obama called on the state of Israel to retreat to their 1967 borders.

I couldn’t believe my ears!

Obama might as well have handed Hamas the launch codes to one thousand Trident missiles if he thinks that giving up the strategically vital Golan Heights and other buffer zones is something Israel should do.

Once again Obama has reminded the world that it’s amateur hour at the White House.

Liberals love to dub the uprisings in Muslims countries throughout the Middle East as the so-called “Arab Spring”. It’s a catchy albeit meaningless slogan that gives a false impression of hope and progress for that troubled part of the world. What’s really happening amongst the false clamoring for freedom is a call for the freedom to destroy Israel once and for all.

In essence, Obama has told Israel, “Go to Hell!” And he’s clearly aligning himself with his Muslim comrades that he’s constantly reaching out to.

Iran is busily trying to develop nuclear weapons to use against Israel and Obama does nothing to stop it, and probably prays for it.

It’s a sad day indeed and I hope Israel survives long enough before something truly tragic happens until Obama can be removed from office in 2012.

“We need more money!”

In one way or another, this is the only phrase every public sector teacher’s union knows how to say. I’ve been hearing since I was a kid and the lie still gets told to this day.

It’s as much a myth as man-made climate change!

Teacher’s are very well paid and in NYS more than 1,200 teachers and administrators get paid fat-cat pensions exceeding $100,000 a year!

I’m not against people getting paid a lot of money. But, I very much object to the deceitful ways teachers pick my pocket and expect me not to know the difference.

So the next time you see a union official or a teacher on TV playing the sad sack role and crying the not getting pain enough blues, we all should be paid so little.

The truth is the Left root for the decline of America. They want the country to go into decline as payback, in their warped thinking, for the evil things the U.S. has done to people of color.

And make no mistake, President Obama totally agrees with line of thinking.

Here in New York we have a joke of a Democrat named John Liu who got elected comptroller. During his campaign his he falsely claimed he worked in sweatshops as a youth.

So the man is dishonest!

But, he got elected anyway because of…wait for it….massive labor union support. That’s how Democrats roll in this one party town.
After he was elected, he ordered staff at the comptroller’s office to stand up whenever he enters a room and address him as, “Mr. Comptroller.” That’s how much of a narcissist he is.

Liu, the egomaniacal union suck up got called out by a Supreme Court Justice for coming up with a wage-scale for movers in contract to do work for the city that would pay a rate of $38.90 an hour over to the private sector rate of $12.00 an hour.

So instead of looking out for taxpayers of NYC, Liu tries to hand his union masters a whopping 221% wage increase! If this isn’t institutional corruption, what is?

And here’s another kick in the head. Liu is supposed to be a leading candidate for mayor in 2013.

This is where Liberals show themselves to be bereft of common sense. Letting kids have access to porn in a public library is a perversion, pardon the pun, of free speech.

I feel sorry for Hawking in more way than one. First, I can’t imagine what his life must be like processing such a gifted mind, and yet having to live locked in a shell of a broken body ravaged by ALS.

However, the impressive thing is that despite his disability he’s achieved much in his life. Many consider him the smartest man in the world.

So who am I am to argue?

Yes, Hawking is a genius, which is noteworthy and without question. Yet, although he is extremely smart, it’s not coupled with Godly sense--for if Hawking had this kind of sense, he would be able to fathom the world around him and comprehend beyond what his eyes see. If he had this kind of sense, he would easily determine that the complexities of the universe couldn’t possibly be formed by happenstance.

The Bible specifically speaks about people like Hawking:

1 Corinthians 1:20-21, 25

“So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish. Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.”

“This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.”

Basically these verses speaks to how the idea of God and Heaven and other such things associated with that seems like utter foolishness to the Uber-intelligent people of the world. People like these or Hawking in particular are unable to understand God and His existence because their own intellect doesn’t allow them to make the leap into faith understanding in God. This doesn’t mean that Hawking will be an atheist for the rest of his life. It only means that God hasn’t made Himself manifest to Hawking in a personal way.

I have hope for Hawking and others like him.

I think he is on the verge of his greatest discovery, that yes, Heaven is real and so is God in the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this life scheme, the “C” part of the word “commitment” in marriage has become as passé as a land line.

And so, Maria Shriver has decided to pack her bags and leave her 25 year marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Reports are that The Terminator strayed from the marriage bed with the hired help and produced a love child.

It’s as messy as messy can be.

But, that’s exactly what “or worse” is. It’s sloppy, embarrassing, and especially painful.

Is Arnold in the wrong?

Absolutely, no question! He deserves every bit of scorn that comes his way. But, there’s a lot of details we’re not privy to. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

But, although Maria is the recipient of great injury, by leaving the marriage, she breaks her vow to Arnold to stay with her husband in good times and in bad. Both are equally guilty of making a mockery of their marriage vows.

I’m not down with Ethanol, and yes it’s a boondoggle twisted up in Iowa politics. However, whether or not Bachmann is for or against E subsidies should not be a litheness test for conservative purity.

We conservatives play this stupid game all the time where we pull down our pants, whip it out and try to prove who the bigger conservative is. This practice will never go away, and I understand that. Nonetheless, we more often than not make fools of ourselves as we shoot each other’s feet.

Having said that, Michele Bachmann is plenty enough conservative for me! In fact, she tows the conservative line better than 99.9% of all Washington GOPers. She’s not afraid to unapologetically speak conservative values without trying to blur the message for the approval of the Washington elites.

She’s a founding member of the Tea Party Caucus in the House—nuff said!

It’s good to see a player finally get a shot to play everyday in The Show. Justin Turner, who paid his dues in the minors, is getting a chance to shine with my beloved New York Mets.

Mets are 2 games under .500. I’m just sayin’…


CBS Sports reports at the end of Mets spring training, Justin Turner was sent to the minor leagues and told to be ready in case he was needed in New York.

As manager Terry Collins put it: “You never know what’s going to happen.”

Now he knows.

Turner homered and drove in a career-high five runs, and Jason Pridie hit a go-ahead single and stole home to help the New York Mets beat the Houston Astros 7-4 Sunday.

“He loves to play and here’s his chance,” Collins said. “You spend a few years in the minor leagues and you’ve been able to play for a while and you say ‘If I just had a chance, if I just had a chance.’

“Well, here’s his opportunity and he’s making the most of it.”

Turner hit a tying, two-run double in the Mets’ four-run fifth inning, and later scored the go-ahead run. Turner tacked on a three-run homer in the sixth and the Mets won for the seventh time in 10 games.

“Any time you drive in some runs you feel pretty good,” Turner said. “It makes it nicer to get an at bat every day and get comfortable and make adjustments from at bat to at bat as opposed to from day to three days.”

Porterfield, 26, has now been forced to pull out of the competition and has resigned from her current title.

According to police she is alleged to have faked the signatures of three business owners while working at a marketing company.

All three companies became suspicious and called police after they were contacted and asked to proof adverts they had not agreed to buy.

Her tormentor, a 28-year-old homeless man called Deyan Valentinov Deyanov, was well known in the popular holiday resort for his unpredictable and sometimes violent behaviour.

Mrs Mills-Westley waited for him to move on, and alerted a security guard in the social security office where she sheltered that she had been subjected to "threatening behaviour".
It is unclear whether the Briton, a 60-year-old retired road safety officer from Norwich, was aware of the man's dangerous reputation. After a few minutes Deyanov left and the danger seemed to have passed.

Let me tell you something. This story you’re about to read is not an isolated incident in one union local. I’ve been a union member all my adult life, 26 years. And I’ve heard of this stuff happening all the time.

It’s the dark side of unions that rarely gets publicized. My beef has always been with union leaders who for the most part are thugs. They love to portray themselves as fighting for the working guy while stealing out of their pockets with lavish salaries.

Here in New York the head of DC 37, the largest municipal union gets paid more than the mayor and the governor of the state.

So these guys will have no problem going Tony Soprano on anybody that would mess with their cash.

And these are the same element that backs President Barack Obama.

New York Daily News reports unionized phone company employees say they were beaten or threatened after they accused their labor bosses of looting their coffers through various scams.

One member of Communications Workers of America Local 1101 said that after he reported a time-sheet padding scheme, a thug beat him so badly his spine was injured.

Another says he found a dead rat in his locker, while a third said a union officer warned that suspected informants should be brought off company property and "taken care of."

The threats come to light as the U.S. Labor Department is probing charges that union bosses lined their pockets at the rank-and-file's expense.

Accusations include an unauthorized 401(k) plan union officers gave themselves funded with members' dues, along with hefty weekly allowances, lavish expense accounts and six-figure salaries, union documents show.

The feds are also looking into allegations that double-dipping union bosses illegally received pay from Verizon and the local for the same hours, sources said.

"This was union greed and that's worse than corporate greed," said Kevin Condy, a reform movement leader of the 6,700-member local that represents mostly Verizon workers in Manhattan and the Bronx. "These guys acted like they felt they were entitled."

And, some members charge, the bosses retaliated when threatened with exposure.

In August, business agent Patrick Gibbons said he received death threats and his office was vandalized after he complained that union bosses were misappropriating cash.

"They were warning me that if I continue to complain about their finances, they would have me killed," Gibbons wrote in an open letter to union members.

Six months earlier, Verizon heavy equipment operators Salvatore DiStefano and Sebastian Taravella sued the local in Brooklyn Federal Court.
They said they were harassed after telling Verizon security officials a manager allowed workers to leave early but claim a full day's pay - as long as they completed a quota of assigned jobs.

DiStefano told the Daily News he was "attacked by a union thug" as he started the morning shift at a Verizon garage in the Bronx in April 2009.

"He pounded me with his fists, he spit on me, he choked me and threw me down to the floor," he said.

DiStefano said he suffered two herniated discs and had knee problems that required surgery. He got workers' compensation as a result, records show.

Taravella said a dead rat was put in his locker with "a note tied to his tail" that said "Rest in Peace, Sebbie."

The incidents came after a local vice president purportedly told members at a meeting, "We have to deal with these spies on a personal level, like take them ... off the company property and off company time and take care of them," the suit charged.

Taravella still works at Empire City Subway, a Verizon subsidiary; DiStefano was fired in July 2009 for "violation of the business code of conduct."

Verizon officials declined to comment except to say they'd given probers "a small amount of payroll information."

Don’t expect to see a follow up to this story in the Daily News because the topic always seems to fade away.

New York is a union town ya’ know.

I think a lot of commentators will think Huckabee not running will help not to split the social conservative vote. Although that may be the case, who will they say it will benefit the most?

I say Herman Cain may be doing cartwheels today.

Remember where you heard this.

Fox News reports the show is normally prerecorded before it airs at 8 p.m. ET, but Huckabee saved the last 10 minutes of tonight’s broadcast to make his announcement live.

"The past few months have been times of deep personal reflection," Huckabee said. "Even though I wasn't actively establishing a campaign organization or seeking financial support to run again, polls have consistently put me at or near the top to be the Republican nominee."

"But I know that under the best of circumstances, being President is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity," he continued. "I can't know or predict the future, but I know for now my answer is clear and firm: I will not seek the Republican nomination for President this year."

Huckabee said others probably thought about a presidential bid more than he did.

"I had not done much toward a race because my life was filled with work that I truly love here at Fox News, doing radio commentaries on my daily Huckabee Report on 600 radio stations, traveling the country for speaking engagements, and helping good conservative, pro-life candidates who were running for office," he said.

Donald Trump delivered a message after Huckabee's decision to opt out.

"A lot of people are very happy that he will not be running, especially other candidates, so Mike enjoy the show," Trump said. "The ratings are terrific. Good luck."

I don’t know how Tom Brady, QB of the New England Patriots does it. This is what he has to come home after a rough game.

Poor guy got it rough!


The Sun reports GISELE BUNDCHEN shows that as the world's highest-earning model her nest is so well feathered she has a few left over.

The Brazilian wore plumage-fringed outfits as she modelled her own lingerie line. She recently took the top-earner title for the EIGHTH year in a row after raking in £28million last year, trumping rivals KATE MOSS and HEIDI KLUM.

And she proved just why she's still No1 as she captivated the audience in Hope lingerie's new summer collection. The beauty, married to football star TOM BRADY, gave birth to her first son less than 18 months ago. And there wasn't an inch to pinch as she confidently flaunted her post-baby curves on the runway.

A 1967 American drama film starring Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn, and featuring Hepburn's niece Katharine Houghton.

The film was groundbreaking for its positive representation of the controversial subject of interracial marriage, which historically had been illegal in most states of the United States, and was still illegal in seventeen southern American states up until June 12 of the year of the film's release, when it was legalized by the Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia.

It was produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, and written by William Rose. The movie's Oscar-nominated score was composed by Frank DeVol. [2]

Potier continues to say "But you see yourself as a colored man. I see myself as a man." Very powerful scene.
