Good to hear that they all found a place. <br />My Mags came out of a Newark, NJ pound. Stray around 8 months old when we got her. Brudda, she fit in so easy I feel as if it is Spike reincarnated.<br />We also had my MIL move in-lost my garage and back porch to a MIL unit-and she brought Sasha, a sweet sweet Weimariner. My MIL was an Eagles fan living in a Giants home, but she was as good a MIL as a man could ask for. Complimentary, gracious(as an 87 YO Jersey City gal from the Ol' School could be) and grateful. We lost her in April.<br />Long story short, now we got two in the house.<br /><br />As for your closing comment on making the Left own it, I've decided to allow my inner obnoxious bastard to flourish and run free and BE DAT GUY.<br /><br />Ciao to all!

The blue areas seem small enough that they seem possible to cut out, like bad spots on a potato...<br /><br />@It's No Gouda- See, that's the difference between efficiency and real <i>style</i>. Nice!<br /><br />And good quick explanation of the electoral college.<br /><br />@Suzy- That's an excellent question, and I don't have a decent answer at all. My <i>theory</i> is that nobody in the news these days actually <i>wants</i> to accurately report the news because it's hard work and relatively passive (in the sense that the reporter can't affect the story). But the new breed of (ahem) "journalists" consider themselves activitists out to change the world for the better. And to do that, they'll skew stories, hide stories, or invent stories to shape the news into what they <i>want</i> it to be rather than what it <i>is</i>.<br /><br />And because virtually all of these folks are radical Lefties, they're essentially enemies of the Constitution.<br /><br />@Queso Grande- Glad to hear that your Maggie has helped. I was so saddened by the loss of our dogs that we didn't have one for years - I just didn't have it in me. Then we got adopted by a very pregnant stray, which was a lucky day for us. All the pups went to good homes, and MY Maggie just this moment walked in to see what I was writing about her. She's a mutt and a "good time girl," and we love her to pieces.<br /><br />Regarding the people (and I use the term loosely) who would compare Benghazi to <i>anything</i> that happened under Bush's watch post 9-11, I'm simply point out that Bush never went to the United Nations to suggest that America had brought a terroist attack on itself by "allowing" a citizen to "slander the Prophet of Islam." <br /><br />It IS important for us to start shaking off our depression and frustration and begin fighting back again. And at the very least, as things go bad (and they will) we all need to make sure that the Democrats, Lefties, and Non-Voters around us are MADE TO OWN IT. For the next four years, it is our sacred duty to rub their noses in the mess they've made for all of us.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-56609478584589904742012-11-15T15:32:37.052-06:002012-11-15T15:32:37.052-06:00@Colby,

I think that would go a long way to cleaning up the map we've all seen by now.....a vast sea of Red, with pockets of blue that drove the State.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky, my heart goes out to you. Spike got put down almost 3 years ago now and I still stroke the box her ashes are in. Took a bit, but I managed to get an almost carbon copy off the intarwebs. Maggie goes a looong way in filling that hole. I hope you and the Mrs. manage to find another. <br /><br />In regards to the Jews of WWII going willingly to their fates, even worse stories are out there. Why, George Soros spoke fondly of how he would identify other Jews for the Nazi's and how he took their possessions. Now, instead of Jews doing the work of the Nazi's, we have college kids destroying the futures of their fellow students.<br /><br />I've been in a deep funk myself. I am coming out of it.

As in, the Demo_Rats held rallies at colleges and then bussed the "students" to the polls and made sure they voted. (Did they then vote on election day? Who knows?) So the Demo_Rats had a huge advantage from the get-go. I'm sure there was a lot of vote fraud somewhere, all in the favor of the Demo_rats. Interesting that where ID was required for voting, Romney won. Where there was no ID requirement, Barack Hussein won. What does that tell us?

It is true that Hitler, of his own free will (not God's will) effectively killed 6 million Jews. However, by his actions, Hitler unwittingly opened floodgates of support for Zionists looking to establish a homeland for the Jews after World War II. In 1948, the nation of Israel was established, fulfilling Ezekiel's prophesy from the Old Testament. <br /><br />Make no mistake about it, the Jews are still God's chosen people, and God will not bless those who oppose Israel. We may yet see some Old Testament retribution, but if the US keeps backing away from Israel, it will be leveled at us.SusieBeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-10273697605931389462012-11-14T15:52:59.689-06:002012-11-14T15:52:59.689-06:00@Gang of One- I sort of doubt that Petraeus is rea...@Gang of One- I sort of doubt that Petraeus is really going to spill much in the way of damaging beans.

I don't know if he was deliberately trying to keep our spirits up (while not believing it), or if he was self-deceived into believing that the American people <i>surely</i> wouldn't give the SCOAMF a second term.<br /><br />I like listening to Rush, because I like hearing someone who seems able to maintain a good mood in the face of bad news. Plus, I think he's hugely insightful about the Left.<br /><br />But I won't be listening in the same way I used to: with hope and optimism balancing my outrage and sadness.

At the time, I really wished they'd shut their collective pie-holes. At best, I hoped Romney might win in spite of their grandstanding. At worst I was afraid they'd encourage people to stay at home. ("Well, if the GOP has this all sewn up in a landslide, there's no need of me taking off work to stand in line.")<br /><br />For whatever reason, the conservative vote did not turn out. I think they own some of the blame. They should have been pushing people to the polls... not soft-selling the need.txGregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-48135010738391004802012-11-14T15:18:02.044-06:002012-11-14T15:18:02.044-06:00@Earl,

I became disillusioned w/Beck after the crap he pulled here in Texas during our last gubernatorial election, so I considered The Five to be a nice change of pace.<br /><br />Also, I disagree with Beckel nearly 100% of the time, but I think he's one of those Liberals I honestly wouldn't mind hanging out with - as long as we didn't talk politics. (Unlike with Øbama, I'd actually raise a glass w/Mr. Beckel)txGregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-57589233705255614632012-11-14T15:16:58.491-06:002012-11-14T15:16:58.491-06:00Let me ask you guys a question.

I'm still so pissed at those guys for getting my hopes up so high by suggesting that Romney had it made in the shade. Hewitt said he would win by a landslide, Rush said "blowout" many times in the final weeks. In a twisted kind of way, I feel like I was sold false hope just so they could keep us engaged and keep their ratings high. I can't understand how they could've been so wrong on so many of the particulars. The country is royally screwed, but they still have their radio shows, and still want their ratings. And yet, given what happened, I have to wonder if they had any effect at all in influencing undecideds over the last 4 years. I feel let down by talk radio just as much as by the masses of welfare parasites. I need help sorting this out...abbeyroadwalkernoreply@blogger.com
