Happy Second Birthday to Obamacare!!!!!
| 03/23/2012 18:01 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
What? You had not heard? No mention by the Commie Media? No statement or celebration from the White House? Nobody from the DNC? Any Democrat in Congress?
Now isn’t that strange…… I mean, this was the signature accomplishment of the Obama Administration — well, until he decides to blame somebody else for it. The Left has been after this for half a century. This was the culmination of more than a year of cheating; stealing; hiding; having the Center for American Progress write the bill in secret; holding locked-door, Democrats-only sessions; bribing; race-baiting; blackmailing; lying; blaming. I’m certain high-earning Americans (aka, “the rich”) got blamed for something or other, although I don’t have a specific recollection of it. It’s hard to imagine the Democrats pushing a major bill without blaming the rich for something. These activities are the most fun a Democrat ever has, other than directly spending your money, or dictating to you when and where you may practice your religion.

Overnite Pete – pet Repubs say TP impatience unbecoming
| 02/20/2012 23:31 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
Day after day I watch what is happening in the Magical Pixie Dust Realm of the Beltway Republican. I ask myself, how can people with college degrees be that stupid? [I know, I know.... college....] Seriously, who keeps these people from putting their underwear on outside their pants?
In episode 21,598,723 of Establishment Repubs Are Stupid, Mike Barone (brilliant number-cruncher, room temp IQ as an analyst] brings the hammer down on those pesky Tea Partiers who impatiently expected that a Tea-Party-driven nation-wide electoral butt-stomping that included a net +67 in the House would actually…… make a difference in Washington.

Not My President, Part 5 of 50: Non-Recess Recess Appointments
| 02/20/2012 20:22 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Articles, Not My President |
I’ve been chronicling 50 reasons why SCOAMF is not my president. I have listed 67 reasons on a notepad at home.
Let me make a distinction. It’s fair for people to oppose political opponents, even to despise them. I know the Commie Left can thrive wholly on a diet of pure hatred, with a side of venom. It’s fair to hate your opponent’s policies, and do your best within legal means to defeat them.. But it is not fair that based on your opposition, you declare the president “not your president.”
On the other hand, if a president acts lawlessly and illegitimately, or if in word and deed he demonstrates hatred for America, or acts intentionally to do great harm to America, then it’s on like Donkey Kong. He might be somebody else’s president. He is not mine. This jackass in the White House, this TOTUS-puppet vacation-smurfing, golf-ball-shanking skinny little freak, is not my president. Here is the fifth reason of 50.

The Congress we elected, and the Congress we got
| 02/20/2012 0:17 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Articles |
In the last few days I have been going over some old writings. You know, about 18 months old. It brings to mind how vehemently I disagree with a commonly uttered saying that goes “the people get what they elect”, or “we deserve the government we get”, or something like that.
That is such a load of crap.
America rodeo-stomped the Democrats in November 2010. With the entire media machine, the Democrat machine, and the union machine stacked against us, we blasted them out of the saddle. Not in 72 years had America so thoroughly repudiated the party in power. The victories of Republicans, from national to state to local elections, was virtually unprecedented.

Overnight Pete – GM, profits, paybacks
| 02/16/2012 21:35 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
Three stories hit the airwaves today concerning Government Motors. Together they make quite a story, not that they tell us anything we didn’t already know.
Decades of union parasitism bring a once-great company to ruin. The Obamanistas step in, buy it, and give control to the same union parasites that ruined it, along with $50 billion of taxpayer money. They cancel most of their debts.So, who wouldn’t make a profit under terms like that?
Oh yeah. Solyndra.

Hello peeps, tonight I’m filling in. Pete and Ed are out on the town in Addison, and if there’s anybody who can strike out with hookers on 2-for-1 night, it’s Pete. Regardless, it’s Overnight EPU. What we lack in wit and insight, we more than make up for with insipid meanderings.

Overnite Pete – Vapor Florida
| 01/31/2012 23:09 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
I’m trying hard to imagine how……..excited [I guess?]…..the Romney constituents are feeling tonight after the wholly expected 47-32 win over Newt in the Florida primary today. For starters, I find it hard [impossible?] to see how anybody is excited about Romney. Are there seriously people who have caught the Mittens Magic, who go to bed dreaming of gumdrop rainbows and sparkly butterfly kisses, sighing to themselves “I can’t wait for President Romney to take office so he can [change the course of America] [at least repeal Obamacare] perhaps not lift up his skirts for unions and terrorists like the current White House resident…”

Overnite Pete – Thursday GM flaming kabob edition
| 01/26/2012 0:37 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
So, it irks me a little that I thought of this first, but didn’t put it in print. I certainly thought of it before Rush brought it up, but hey, anyway. All this talk of Mittens and his tax returns, and somehow it’s not enough. But last night Macho Bambi got his stupid on and went on and on about how Warren Buffet’s secretary paid more taxes than Warren Buffet did. I say BS. Let’s see HER taxes, and for that matter, let’s see Mister Buffet’s too. I bet Buffet pays his personal secretary well up into the low $100k range, putting her into a fairly high tax bracket herself.

SOTU and overnite Pete – Wednesday edition
| 01/25/2012 0:05 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
Oh good grief. I assume nobody took that SOTU seriously. Except, apparently, Lawrence O’Donnell, who wants to bear Barry’s love child. Or sire it. I’m not sure how that works out between those two. Anyway, he says it was the best speech he ever saw. Tell you what, next time I lose a pool match by scratching on the 8-ball, I want a stiff shot of whatever Larry has been drinking.
I didn’t watch or listen, just watched the twitter thing go like crazy while I was doing other stuff. And I gotta tell you, twitter was fun. Conservatives are not nice people.
So, in other shocking news Teh Krugman over at Tass wants to see more Romney tax records. (more…)
Overnite Pete, Tuesday edition
| 01/23/2012 22:34 | Posted by Pete under Articles |
Well, let’s get the 273rd “debate” of the season discussed and dismissed. Honestly, why the candidates subject themselves to another in a long line of charades put on by the Commie media wing of the Commie party, hosted for the purpose of discrediting all things American and conservative…..oh, I remember now. We can thank the RNC and The Mad Puppy Priebus, who has his nose so far up the major partisan media’s ass it must tickle their throats. Nice, now that there’s only four candidates left, that Brian still holds them to 30 second answers.
To sum up all the memorable moments of this sound-bite contest…..
So ok, next topic. (more…)
Mitch bringing a purse to another gunfight
| 01/12/2012 1:50 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Articles |
Yesterday, I got an email from Harry Reid’s personal prison girlfriend, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, moaning with fake outrage over Bambi’s illegal and invalid non-recess appointments, statements to the effect of this sort of thing shouldn’t be allowed. The letter asked me to sign a petition in order to send Obama a message, and to demand no more executive power grabs.
Really, Mitch? Shouldn’t be allowed? There’s no shouldn’t be allowed when the president makes 4 recess appointments when the Senate is not in recess. It’s NOT allowed. Here’s a message you could send the emperor-in-diapers: no more executive power grabs, STARTING WITH THIS ONE. There’s no next time. That’s like saying, “Hey mister, next time you rape my daughter, I’m gonna have something pretty strong to say about it.” No. There’s no discussion, no strong words, and there’s certainly no need to get all your friends to sign a petition. There’s no next time; you spill his guts and you do it today, because it’s not allowed this time. The only message you send is to his surviving family members, and to society, that some things are simply not allowed.

NH Debate: silly moderators, focused candidates
| 01/08/2012 13:07 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Articles |
First off, the huge losers in the debate were the left-wing ABC moderators: George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton administration senior advisor, who brought an agenda that was so persistently left-oriented and focused on inconsequential matters that the moderate audience came to routinely boo him as the night wore on; and aging warhorse Diane Sawyer, hanging on for dear life to her chair, who may have managed to top her recent stunningly effective drunk-moderating performance. One entire 20-minute stretch was focused on sex, gay “marriage” [those scare quotes again...], contraception, and abortion, and devolved into such silliness that the candidates revolted against Stephy for pursuing such ridiculous topics when the economy and foreign policy were clearly the important matters of the day.

Saturday musings

These invalid “recess” “appointments”
Get used to it. I like “scare quotes”.
My tattooed friend notes that We have to use the rules, the libs just do whatever the *^$# they desire. And he doesn’t say that “we” means me and my tattooed friend “have to use the rules”. [There is that scare quote thing. Ok seriously, I will try to cut back] He means our beloved squishy gutless Republicans in Washington feel like they can’t get their hands dirty playing hardball, or even not being nicey-nicey with those dirty corn-holer Democrats in Washington, because the press will blame Repubs for everything (true enough) and the “independent voters” [sorry, did it again] will turn away from us for being contentious or whatever.
Whatever, douche bags. Well, that is the thing – at this point, to play by the rules and do the right thing means IMPEACHMENT. (more…)

For Closed Primaries
| 12/31/2011 11:12 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Articles |
For years, many conservatives have agitated for closed primaries, based on the simple principle that Republicans should choose the Republican nominee, and Democrats should choose the Democrat nominee.
And as long as conservatives have made that argument, lunkhead establishment types have made the claim that in closed primaries, might chose a true believer, a person who had no cross-over appeal. By having Democrats and independents participate in Republican primaries, we would be more likely to pick somebody who would be palatable to undecided voters.
To those who despise closed primaries, I give you Iowa, and Ron Paul.
Game. Set. Match.

Back to work
| 12/27/2011 20:08 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Articles |
Ok, Christmas is done. Santa came for the good ones, Christ Jesus had a happy birthday. A certain amount of after-Christmas business remains – gift cards to spend, sales, sales and more sales, and about 7,000 more bowl games, including the NCAA joke national championship that has clown team Alabama instead of powerhouse and rightful #2 Oklahoma State against Darth Miles and the Evil Empire centered in Red Stick, Louisiana. Many of you have this week off from work. Good for you.
However, play time is over. The REAL Evil Empire reigns over the United States, and they are fortifying their position while we sit around thinking the American people will see it happening and put a stop to it.

House Freshmen Torpedo Silly Budget Deal, Dems Cry
| 12/20/2011 21:50 | Posted by E Pluribus Unum under Archives |
Credit where credit is due. I have been a very vocal critic of the Freshman Class of 2010, but this time they have gone and done something good. So, my hat is off.
The Senate deal was so manifestly silly and irresponsible — seriously, a 2-month-only change in the tax code, to go into effect 12 days from today, but it is supposed to save the nation — that conservatives and Freshmen just could not stomach it. It’s a little late to be finding a backbone, but hey, I’ll take it.
