Obama’s State Of The Union Address

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the chamber of the United States House of Representatives tonight?

Answer: President Obama will give his State of the Union address to the nation at 9:00 PM.

Who’s excited to tune in and watch President Obama describe his “five pillars” for ensuring America’s competitiveness and economic growth? Personally, I am not the biggest fan of Rush Limbaugh, but I agree with him on the State of the Union address. Who wants to listen to somebody lie for an hour?

The Foundry at the Heritage Foundation reports:

He must be hoping that the American people already forgot about his first “five pillars” of economic growth that he unveiled at Georgetown University in April 2009. The President’s present pillar panel is pretty much the same as the old one. “Deficit reduction” and “investments” in education are completely unchanged. “New Investments in Renewable Energy” has been repackaged to the more centrist-friendly “New Investments in Infrastructure.” Out are “New Investments in Health Care” and “New Rules for Wall Street.” In are “innovation” and “reforming government.” As Charles Krauthammer pointed out almost two years ago, Obama’s rhetoric is a mirror image of President Jimmy Carter’s and his policies are no different either. Tonight’s speech is just old school 1970s tax and spend liberalism in sleek new Obama packaging.

[...]

The President will play lip service to deficit reduction tonight, but his aides have already made it clear that he does not have the courage to confront his base about their addiction to federal spending. The Washington Post reports that, in response to leftist pressure, the President will completely abandon his own Deficit Commission’s entitlement spending cut proposals. In response, Maya MacGuineas, president of the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, asks the President: “If you don’t lead now, when is it going to come?” We fear not any time soon.

If President Obama decides to talk about creating jobs or so-called “investments” then he better pray the American people don’t remember his failed $800 billion stimulus package and our national debt standing at $14.06 trillion. In order to restore some credibility, President Obama must admit his policies failed at creating jobs during his first two years in office.

I will be tweeting live during the State of the Union address tonight on both of my Twitter accounts (MacStoddard & FriskALiberal) and Frisk A Liberal Facebook page.

Side-Note: Check out the 2011 State of the Union Drinking Game if you want to enjoy the speech from a different perspective. Haha.

‘The Rack’ Of Public And Political Discourse

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the liberal mainstream media over the past few days?

Answer: As Bill O’Reilly points out, the “Merchants of Hate” have been unleashed.

The news coverage over Saturday’s tragic shooting has been one of the lowest moments for the mainstream media and Bill O’Reilly hit the nail on the head last night:

Liberals are furious that their far-left vision is falling apart so they’re using a terrible tragedy, using it, to attack their perceived political enemies. That’s what this is all about – the failure of the far-left agenda.

First of all, those on the left side of the political aisle are the ones who are exploiting this tragic event to feed their own political agenda – period. Are there some conservatives out there using this towards their political advantage? I am sure there are a few, but it is no one with a loud voice within the conservative movement.

Let’s face the facts. When liberal columnists first heard that a Democrat congresswoman was shot, they immediately stormed to their computers to type up their deranged fantasies (e.g. Paul Krugman) that the shooter was some radical right-wing individual who went on a rampage. These types of desperate and despicable attempts to deceive the American public flooded the airwaves, twitter, and other internet news sites just moments after tragedy struck the city of Tucson, Arizona.

Truth is, through the liberal media’s lies and political agenda of criminalizing conservatism, we were unable to fully grasp and grieve over Saturday’s tragic event. Instead, conservatives were forced to go on the defensive.

Unfortunately, instead of focusing on possible ways of uniting the American people around this tragedy, we were (and still are) forced to point out the vicious lies that are being circulated by the powerful left.

We have journalists, celebrities, and public officials going down their recycled political enemies list: Governor Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Rep. Allen West (R-FL), Bill O’Reilly, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Sharron Angle, and plenty more. Some Democrats even had the nerve to toss the United States Constitution on their enemies list!

According the far-left, Governor Palin is responsible for Saturday’s shooting, because her website used a graphic design with (imaginary) “cross-hairs” that represented vulnerable congressional districts. Rep. Bachmann (R-MN) and Sharron Angle are responsible, because of certain political metaphors that they chose to use in the past. The others are responsible, because of their so-called “violent” rhetoric.

Nothing could be further from the truth! It is our job to hold the media responsible.

So if anyone is asking themselves, “Why can’t America just unite as one and put politics aside over this horrendous event?” The answer is clear: The far-left and some in the liberal mainstream media didn’t want us to. Instead, they wanted to prove that they were right along about the Tea Party movement. They desperately want to prove their narrative that the Tea Party is filled with a bunch of loose cannons ready to go off at any second. Once again, they were wrong.

Sadly, it is the left who is The Rack of public and political discourse.

Obama On The Stimulus: At Least Unemployment’s Not At 15%…

Wonder what you would find if you frisked President Obama’s speech yesterday?

Answer: Apparently, he is making up numbers now.

Hey America, do you remember when President Obama and his economically brain-dead administration promised this:

So much for unemployment topping out at 8% if we passed President Obama’s massive stimulus package…

Have no fear America! President Obama has a new strategy to describe how the stimulus package has been a success. Allahpundit – from Hot Air – explains:

Instead of talking about how much higher the unemployment rate is than he thought it’d be, we’re talking about how much higher it could have been without that $787 billion bomb. And the nice thing about that, of course, is that he can slap any horrifying figure he wants on his worst-case scenario to make the current figures look rosy. For the moment he’s restricting himself to “12 or 13 or 15 percent,” but if he’s staring at a giant Republican wave come October, I bet that estimate will bump up to 20 or 25 percent in no time. Keep moving those goalposts, champ.

Reminder: The price tag of the stimulus package has increased to $862+ billion, but who’s actually keeping count? What’s another TRILLION dollars added on to our deficits and national debt?

Personally, I’d tell the president to keep going with this new P.R. strategy of his, because we’ll see him in the 2010 and 2012 elections.

When It Comes To Transparency, Can We Call Obama A Liar Yet?

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the head of C-SPAN?

Answer: He wants Congress to open up the health-care talks on television.

Props to the man in charge of C-SPAN – CEO Brian Lamb – for finally attempting to take some action:

The head of C-SPAN has implored Congress to open up the last leg of health care reform negotiations to the public, as top Democrats lay plans to hash out the final product among themselves.

C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb wrote to leaders in the House and Senate Dec. 30 urging them to open “all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings,” to televised coverage on his network.

“The C-SPAN networks will commit the necessary resources to covering all of the sessions LIVE and in their entirety,” he wrote.

Congressional leaders, however, reportedly are expected to bypass the traditional conference committee process, in which lawmakers from both parties and chambers meet to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of a bill. Instead, The Associated Press reports that top Democrats at the House, Senate and White House will figure out the final product in three-way talks before sending it back to both chambers for a final vote.

This format would seem ideal for closed-door meetings, which congressional Democrats have used many times to figure out sensitive provisions in the health care bill — though President Obama pledged during the campaign to open up health care talks to C-SPAN’s cameras.

Hmm… Will the Democrats comply with Brian Lamb’s request? Of course not! They much rather hide from the C-SPAN cameras and pass out hundreds of millions of dollars in favors/bribes to buy votes from fellow Democrats. This doesn’t sound like the type of transparency that the American people voted for when Barack Obama kept promising this:

Ugh… Are we allowed to say that he lied yet?

Side-Note: If there’s one thing that President Obama has reformed while in office, it would be the definition of ‘transparency’. Here’s the new definition:

Votes in the dead of night, committee processes that produce strawman bills, and Senators scurrying from camera lenses to dole out favors and cash to one another.

Sounds about right.

CNN Reporter Uses Wiki As A Credible Source To Attack Rush Limbaugh

The idiot Mike Sanchez.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Mike Sanchez’s sources for this story?

Answer: Wikipedia… Seriously.

This is unbelievable! The far-left once again is trying to bring down the giant conservative force that is, Rush Limbaugh. Are we surprised? Demonizing and character assassination 101 taught by liberals. The video clip above is a perfect example!

Remember this quote used by Mike Sanchez to make Rush look like a racist?:

“Limbaugh’s perceived racist diatribes are too many to name. Here’s a sample- he once declared that ‘slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

Is this good reporting on behalf of CNN and Mike Sanchez? Not at all! Why? Because wikipedia is not a credible source for a story! You know, the website where anyone can post anything about someone! In other words, a complete fabrication. Here is why CNN just lost huge credibility:

The first of these quotes has already been debunked most thoroughly, long before Rush’s bid to buy the Rams became public news.  It is self-evidently the complete fabrication of someone with a wiki account, which was then picked up by the unscrupulous Huberman and reported as fact (with no citations at all) in his book.  The other, also attributed to Huberman, has never been sourced, and Huberman has never cited any original article, or even given any indication as to when this alleged statement was made.  Of course, these facts make it utterly impossible to refute the claim; without any date or context, Rush cannot even call witnesses who were present during the alleged confirmation to confirm or deny that he ever made such a statement.  It is literally impossible for Limbaugh (or anyone else) to offer convincing proof that they have never at any time made a given statement (other than their own denial, which Rush has already given).  It is preposterous to ask anyone to prove that they did not make a statement if you cannot even so much as offer a time and place where the statement is alleged to have occurred.

Bravo CNN! Bravo! Lets make a guy out to be a racist with fabricated evidence… Good reporting. As for Mike Sanchez, you are an awful reporter and have a huge lack of class. When it comes to journalism (on a major cable news network), it is utterly corrupt to use lies in order to assassinate someone’s character, even if your blatantly trying to hurt Limbaugh’s bid for the St. Louis Rams.

But hey, enough about Rush Limbaugh. Lets talk about what a wonderful and nice guy Mike Sanchez is:

Rick Sanchez ran over a man and left the guy for dead.

It was December 10, 1990. Sanchez was leaving a Miami Dolphins game when he ran over a man. Sanchez fled the scene for two hours.

Finally, Sanchez came back. Two hours after the incident, Sanchez was still drunk — well above the legal limit. But Sanchez was a well known Miami reporter with lots of friends on the police force. He was never charged with the hit and run. He just pled no contest to DUI.

The man Sanchez hit and ran away from? He died in 1995, paralyzed and in a nursing home.

And this is the guy using lies to paint someone ELSE as a bad human being? GIVE ME A BREAK!

CNN is once again a joke… The same news network that fact checks a SNL comedy skit, but apparently not their own reporters.

Side-Note: Mike Sanchez hasn’t apologized yet for using wikipedia as a credible source in an attempt to assassinate Rush’s character. Good reporter? Far from it.

*UPDATE: Another idiot (from my home state) trying to use the fabricated quotes from Wikipedia:

Hmm… It’s funny how the left is trying SO desperately to paint Rush as a negative person and they just can’t pull it off. It’s such a pathetic attempt that they are pulling quotes from imaginary sources that only exist in Neverland (not Michael Jackson’s ranch). Haha.
