Glenn Beck goes to Bryant Park
Wow, Glenn Beck was telling a story about going to Bryant Park at his daughter's invitation to see a movie, and people kicked wine on his wife. The crowd clapped and cheered when he got up to leave after the movie got over. Yelling about hating conservatives at him, and his wife.
Guess New York people truly are assholes.
Would the same people be treated the same way at a Tea Party event? I don't think so.

Circle flies
A cowboy from Texas attended a social function where Barack Obama was trying to gather support for his Health Plan. When Obama discovered the cowboy was from President Bush's home area, he started to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.
As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?"
Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies."
"Well, sir," the cowboy replies, "Circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
"Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"
"No, sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their president a horse's ass."
"That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.
After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies, though."

Your closing comments on Ron Paul are precisely why I would have a problem with the man. His isolationist atitude, his stance on Israel, and his views on military strength/obligations. If none of these were of a concern right now (and you know with the middle east, China, and other bad apples, that they are) I could get behind him. But not at this point in historical time.

To be fair, that is Vic's closing comments.
I couldn't be more accurate if I tried, though. He's pulling in the right direction, and his heart is in the right place. A little too isolationist, though. Wasn't that a problem in the early 20th century?

Rick Perry looks like a less conservative Bachmann or Cain, but is definitely appealing to a broad base. He'll probably refine his positions even further, making him more attractive to the base.
I can see him at the top of the ticket, and Bachmann or Cain as VP choice, to throw the base a bone. And I would not be unhappy with that.

The toll roads and the vaccine are the most egregious things he has done. IMO, the vaccine was worse, since he did an EO on it. It was repealed, yes, and I believe he saw the error of it. While the intent of the vaccine is "good", in reality it would have been disastrous. Imagine telling young girls that NOW they could not get HPV and risk cervical cancer when they have sex. Opening a Pandora's box of hell.
As to the toll roads issue, he is still being burned by it. In his defense, the eminent domain issue in TX has always been a sticky subject. He just happened to pour gasoline on the flame in the name of progress. Honestly, from what I see, he is now against the toll issue, if only because he doesn't wish to open our state to Mexico more than it is.

I'll pass on Perry unless he's the Republican nominee. Only then will I vote for him and the 'Good ol' Boy' network.
It's not that he's weak or even tooooooo corrupt. He's just full of shit.

Great breakdown of Michele Bachmann's positions on issues
I got this from the comments section at
Ace of Spades (Headlines thread). It's a great breakdown of her positions on Cap and Trade, Gun Control, small government, taxes, border control, abortion, and others. It's from Vic, and I hope he doesn't mind me posting it as an extra here.
Take a look below the fold, it's long, but broken out nicely.
Thanks Vic!

On the Issues seems to be trying to form a narrative as well, IMO.
Bachmann is strong, and very consistent, and needs to be pushed forward past the freakin' RINOs.

Muslim Mentality
I was instrumental in establishing the Israeli National Skin Bank, which is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for war time or mass casualty situations.
This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the Chairman of plastic surgery. This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza , who was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned her. Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair.
We supplied all the needed Homografts for her treatment. She was successfully treated by my friend and colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and discharged to return to Gaza . She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheva.
One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt.
She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life.
It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.
This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel. It is not a territorial conflict. This is a civilizational conflict or rather a war between civilization & barbarism.
I have never written before asking to please forward onwards, so that as many as possible can understand radical Islam and what awaits the world if it is not stopped.
Dr Arieh Eldad
Verified at snopes as true. Except for the "burned by the family" part, she was injured in a gas tank explosion. Still, talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
