Doug Powers is awesome!

Today he notes the words of nutbag dictator Hugo Chavez:

CARACAS (Reuters) – Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.

"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.

"Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water.

(as quoted by Powers. Here is the link to the actual.)

The best part is What powers says at the end of his post:

Maybe Hugo should take Sean Penn (and) all the rest of his friends and go to the planet that capitalism failed to establish a Marxist utopia. The journey itself would be worth watching. Have you ever seen how a parrot responds to weightlessness? It's hilarious.

Before you jump up today and say HELL YEAH!, take a moment and see who arrived at the station first ...

Then jump up and give Doug the HELL YEAH he deserves!

Newt Gingrich
Pretend Conservative
and POTUS Wannabe

America's greatness lies in "We the People."

So says Newt Gingrich. Remember him? Yeah THAT Newt Gingrich, who sat on the park bench with Nancy Pelosi endorsing government participation in the now well-documented environmental crisis hoax.

We are a nation like no other. To remain so will require the dedicated participation of every citizen, of every neighborhood, of every background. This is the responsibility of a free people.

Yeah well even a busted clock is right twice a day. Does anyone really believe that Mr. Gingrich is gonna give a flying fuck about the participation of the free people once he takes office, which I pray today will NEVER happen?

We are excited about exploring whether there is sufficient support for my potential candidacy for President of this exceptional country.

How about NO.

Given this asshole's track record of promise one thing and deliver something different (Don't forget 1994), I think it's imperative that America send a very clear message to Mr. Gingrich:

DON'T BOTHER

According to WorldNetDaily, Sarah Palin and Ron Paul are tied for frontrunner status in the 2012 election. Eleven percent each. The MSM's presumed frontrunner, Mike Huckabee, came in last with two percent.

I'm not going to Fisk the entire article, but here are a few highlights and thoughts ...

Palin labeled [Mr.] Obama "The $4-Per-Gallon President," taking the commander in chief to task for allowing gasoline prices to surge.

"His war on domestic oil and gas exploration and production has caused us pain at the pump, endangered our already sluggish economic recovery, and threatened our national security," Palin said. "Energy is the building block of our economy. The president is purposely weakening that building block and weakening our country."

While Sarah Palin is nowhere near the best candidate for the job, saying stuff like this will make her look great to Americans. After all, everything she says here is spot-on. Unfortunately for those same Americans, Palin's "solution" to this problem probably isn't much better than Obama's. Great sound byte. Lousy end result.

Rep. Allen West of Florida, and former Godfather Pizza CEO Herman Cain each collected 10 percent.

In his WND column this week, Cain sounded like a presidential candidate, stating, "After a jam-packed week of nearly 20 speaking and listening events in Texas, Iowa and New Hampshire, I hear a consistent message from people. They are so concerned about the lack of leadership in the White House and Congress that they are now scared for our future."

He said, "People are also sick of this budget nonsense going on in Washington," and concluded that citizens "are viewed as sheeple. The sheeple are starving for leadership. As a man named John put it during an in-home New Hampshire event last week, November 2012 will be the 'end of an error.'"

Isn't it great how we get to hear who "sounds like" a presidential candidate? Palin with her $4-a gallon President line and Cain with "The end of an error"? Great stuff, isn't it? Neat to hear, but what about substance? Herman Cain has already been proven phony here, and Palin's not considered a winning choice either.

Tied for eighth place with 5 percent each are New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – who has claimed he could defeat Obama in 2012 but has no interest in running – and billionaire developer Donald Trump, who recently slammed the Obama White House for ignoring his offer to build a $100 million ballroom at no cost to taxpayers.

Trump? Please.

As for Christie, he has done a surprisingly good job here in New Jersey with regard to standing up to unions and a hostile press, which would be quite refreshing in DC. Still, he's no conservative, and nowhere near conservative enough to do what needs to be done there.

This election, like the last, should be an easy win for the Republicans. In fact, it should be easier now that Americans know what Barack Obama is all about (even though Americans know very little about his past). They would have to run Mickey Mouse or Bozo the Clown for President of the United States to give Obama the win. Sadly, from the looks of this poll, just like in the last election, it appears that is exactly what they will do. If Sarah Palin and Ron Paul are the best that party has to offer, I won't be going back any day soon.

I have a good mind to run Kevin Jackson for POTUS.

He's got smarts, guts, and most of all an understanding of what's what.

He takes no bullshit and puts the truth right on the line.

Based on what I know today, this man should be the Tea Party candidate.

Check out his post from a couple weeks ago: Affirmative Action for Obama.

Or his post from today in which he chronicles the story of a baby Canadian rescued from Canada's model for Obamacare by none other than the non-Obamacare US medical system.

I think we need to look closer at this guy and if he passes muster, the campaign must commence IMMEDIATELY!

Michelle Bachmann
Natural Born Citizen
(and willing to prove it)

Palin wannabe or not.

Lousy speaker or not.

If Michelle Bachmann runs for President of the United States, she will present her birth certificate in the first debate to prove her eligibility.

I'll tell you one thing, if I was ever to run for president of the United States, I think the first thing I would do in the first debate is offer my birth certificate so we can get that off the table.

We will all know first hand that we are dealing with a constitutionally eligible candidate in Michelle Bachmann.

Does that make her the best for the job? No. Does that mean she has my vote? No.

However, it does mean that if she does in fact win the election, she holds the office legally, at least from the perspective of her status as a natural born citizen of the United States of America.

The current occupant has yet to show anything of substance.

This was in my email from OreoThunder, who has no blog, but had a message to get out:

Hey! Village Idiots picketing fallen soldiers' funerals....Yeah, I'm talking to you! Do you know WHY you are allowed to do that? BECAUSE THE DEAD SOLDIER YOU ARE DISRESPECTING GAVE HIS OR HER LIFE SO YOU WOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS YOUR STUPIDITY!

Spot on.

And it ain't a court order about his birth certificate either.

So if this guy can't be trusted to obey a court order requiring him to simply show his vault birth certificate, what exactly makes anyone think he's going to go along with any other ruling that goes against him.

Just watch though. If he gets a ruling in his favor on any issue somewhere, you had better believe HE is going to expect YOU to obey it.

The piece at the Rottie is spot-on. Read it.

Then come on back. We may have to look at Vinson as a POTUS candidate with the backbone and chutzpah he's showing here. Obama's minions have a lot of bullets they could be using against him, and may very well be looking for a way of doing so.

Gotta thank him for standing up.
