Joe Lieberman GETS IT

Senator Joe Lieberman is taking a lot of heat for his OpEd titled Our Troops Must Stay

Lieberman is a Democrat...and he is the epitome of what a REAL Democrat is...not the caricatures that we have been seeing lately from the extreme far left...

Washington Times: "Mormons initiated protection on aliens"

The Mormon church arranged for a Utah senator to write a law to shield churches from prosecution for knowingly allowing illegal aliens to be ministers or do volunteer missionary work for them.

Kim Farah, a spokeswoman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, released a statement saying the church asked Sen. Robert F. Bennett, Utah Republican, to sponsor the provision, which she called a "narrow exception to the immigration act."

"The law permits churches to use the volunteer services of their undocumented members by insulating the churches from criminal sanctions for doing so," she said.

She said she would not answer any further questions, including why the church needs access to illegal alien volunteers...

That's bad enough...

...but NOW, there apparently are mosques and Muslim-related charities that have had illegal aliens as their leaders, including a mosque in California with two leaders who had stayed past the expiration of their visas. The men were both being investigated for potential ties to terrorism, but were deported on immigration charges....

These people have discovered the loophole and are using it to hide and protect terrorists???

NewsMax: Democrats Speak Out on WMD

News Max reports:

The following is a list of statements made by prominent Democrats on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction program:

Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.)

"According to the CIA's report, all U.S. intelligence experts agree that Iraq is seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that Saddam Hussein wants to develop nuclear weapons."

Congressional Record, October 9, 2002

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)
"In the four years since the inspectors, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

Congressional Record, October 10, 2002

Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)

"[It] is Hussein's vigorous pursuit of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, and his present and potential future support for terrorist acts and organizations, that make him a terrible danger to the people to the United States."

Congressional Record, October 10, 2002

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)

"We must eliminate that [potential nuclear] threat now before it is too late. But that isn't just a future threat. Saddam's existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose real threats to America today, tomorrow. ... [He] is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East. He could make these weapons available to many terrorist groups, third parties, which have contact with his government. Those groups, in turn, could bring those weapons into the United States and unleash a devastating attack against our citizens. I fear that greatly."

Congressional Record, October 10, 2002

Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.)

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”

Remarks at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, October 27, 2002

Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.)

"There is no question that Iraq possesses biological and chemical weapons and that he seeks to acquire additional weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons. That is not in debate. I also agree with President Bush that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must be disarmed, to quote President Bush directly."

Congressional Record , October 8, 2002

President Bill Clinton

"In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now - a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers, or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed. If we fail to respond today, Saddam, and all those who would follow in his footsteps, will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council, and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program."

Remarks at the Pentagon , February 17, 1998

"[L]et's imagine the future. What if he fails to comply and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route, which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made? Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal. And I think every one of you who has really worked on this for any length of time, believes that, too."

Remarks at the Pentagon, February 17, 1998

"Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them, not once, but repeatedly. Unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war. Not only against soldiers, but against civilians, firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran. And not only against a foreign enemy, but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq. The international community had little doubt then, and I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again."

Remarks at the White House , December 16, 1998

Vice President Al Gore

"[I]f you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? He's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons; he poison gassed his own people. He used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. This man has no compunctions about killing lots and lots of people."

Larry King Live, December 16, 1998

"Remember, Peter, this is a man who has used poison gas on his own people and on his neighbors repeatedly. He's trying to get ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons. He could be a mass murderer of the first order of magnitude. We are not going to allow that to happen."

ABC News’ "Special Report,” December 16, 1998

"We know that [Saddam] has stored away secret supplies of biological weapons and chemical weapons throughout his Country."

Remarks to the Commonwealth Club of California, San Francisco, Calif., September 23, 2002

Secretary Of State Madelyn Albright

"Countering terror is one aspect of our struggle to maintain international security and peace. Limiting the dangers posed by weapons of mass destruction is a second. Saddam Hussein's Iraq encompasses both of these challenges.”

Remarks at the American Legion Convention, New Orleans, La., August 9, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [America], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face. And it is a threat against which we must and will stand firm. In discussing Iraq, we begin by knowing that Saddam Hussein, unlike any other leader, has used weapons of mass destruction even against his own people."

CNN "Showdown With Iraq: International Town Meeting," February 18, 1998

Defense Secretary William Cohen

Cohen appeared on ABC’s "This Week” in 1997 to talk about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. To illustrate the danger, he brought a five-pound bag of sugar.

Cohen: It’s important when we talk about weapons of mass destruction that we translate that into something that the American people, and hopefully, the world community can understand. If you take a five pound bag of sugar and accept – call this anthrax (holding up a 5-pound bag of table sugar). This amount of anthrax could be spread over a city – let’s say the size of Washington. It could destroy at least half the population of that city. If you had even more amounts ...

One of the things we found with anthrax is that one breath and you are likely to face death within five days. One small particle of anthrax could produce death within five days.
VX is a nerve agent. One drop from this particular thimble as such – one single drop will kill you within a few minutes.


Cokie Roberts: Would you put that bag down please.

Cohen: Now I want to point out – I will spill it on the table – point out that he has had enormous amounts and I’d like to go to some of the lies that have been told about this, because originally, if we could look at this particular chart, the original declaration of Iraq, he said he had small quantities of nerve agent for research. We found almost four tons of VX – that little vial I just showed you – four tons of it.

Thanks Is Also Coming From Iraq...For STAYING There!

From Iraq The Model we hear a "Thank You" today...Mohammed is thanking the U.S. for staying the course...and thanking the troops for the tough job they continue to do:

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and especially to the soldiers who are fighting to defend freedom.

Reading his words struck a chord with me....we always - I always - wonder what the "rest of the story" is when I hear a liberal shrieking "The Iraqi's want us OUT OF IRAQ!"...

Our very own fellow countrymen calling us "occupiers"..."invaders"...

In his own words, Mohammed corrects that notion...in fact...he re-states VERY CLEARLY what the President, the Vice President, and many others have been saying all along...

We all know why some insist that US must leave or keep calling the presence of these troops an occupation. The problem is that the ordinary citizen here cannot talk about this in public for fear of being labeled as an agent or collaborator with the occupation and what can an unarmed citizen do to face such an accusation coming from this or that militia.

What pushes these politicians and militias to take this attitude is their dream of regaining sovereignty but not national sovereignty; it is their sovereignty over Iraq.

What is keeping these liars from making a large scale coup over the democratic change is the presence of coalition troops that are protecting the new Iraq.

Our newfound democracy is suffering a lot from the evil of neighboring dictatorships and the legacy of Saddam's dictatorship and I see the only guarantee to the growth of our democracy until its institutions are firm enough and well established lies in the presence of coalition troops for a longer time. This requires not only the preparation of Iraqi security forces but goes beyond that to protecting the democracy until it passes the danger zone...

"...protecting the democracy until it passes the danger zone..."

There is no other way to state it with more clarity...we have got to stay and finish the job...lives are depending on it...

If you think for one nanosecond that leaving Iraq before their fledgling government is self-sufficient and able to defend itself will help America to "make friends" with the rest of the world as the cum-bay-uh-intoxicated-liberal-left would have you believe...think again...

Those that are clever enough to play into the left's Achilles Heel do not have good intentions for the citizens of Iraq...they are simply biding their time, hoping against hope that the Left in this country will scream and wail long and loud enough to get their way about pulling troops out of Iraq in some sort of appeasement effort...

If - by some horrible turn of events - IF the Left is successful in getting their way over this anti-war effort...the blood of each and every innocent, democracy-and-freedom-loving Iraqi will be on their hands...and on ours...

The annihilation, torture, murder, and butchery that Saddam Hussein put on the Iraqi people after the first Gulf War will turn out to only have been a dress rehearsal for what will follow with our abandonment of these people...

If we leave before the job is finished...the trust...the word...of the United States of America will be deemed worthless...and rightfully so...

Illegal Alien Update

While the Department of Homeland Security works on eliminating the "catch and release" program...a program that NEVER worked, because what illegal alien would keep their word to show up in court and plead their case before a judge...???...I ask you...

...In North Carolina, ...fake passports, social security cards and marriage licenses found by the hundreds...Officers believe the men made and sold the fake ID'S to people who used them to get valid driver's licenses....



oh ya...now THERE'S A GOOD IDEA...

My own governor is a proponent of giving illegals Arizona drivers licenses...a slap in the face to the thousands upon thousands that came here LEGALLY!

In Pennsylvania, Federal officials say the arrest of 125 workers at a construction site for a new Wal-Mart distribution center should serve as a warning to employers who hire illegal immigrants...

In Montana, Six illegal aliens were arrested here Friday, along with the Great Falls man accused of harboring them, police said....

In North Dakota, Police say 34 illegal aliens have been arrested in Bismarck in the past month.

And, sorry, no sympathy from this quarter for the following items:

Thousands of undocumented immigrants in South Florida, hit hard by Hurricane Wilma, find they do not qualify for storm aid....they get food and water but no assistance for housing...

The increase in the number of people without health insurance has occurred largely because of illegal immigration, a study found...

I know that many of you in the boo-hoo crowd think that I am a heartless wretch...but in reality, I just want people to observe THE LAWS of this country and come here LEGALLY...

That's all...

Is that really too much to ask??

CNN Disrespects The Vice President of The United States of America

Matt Drudge is reporting:

At 11:04:45 AM ET Monday CNN was airing Vice President Dick Cheney's speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington -- when a large black 'X' repeatedly flashed over the vice president's face!

The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect.

As this DRUDGE REPORT screen capture reveals, while one 'X' flashed over Cheney's face CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."

One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN."

Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"

A CNN spokesman did not return repeated calls late Monday night.

You Can Be Sure That Our Family Will Be Giving Thanks

Saying grace on Thanksgiving no longer a given is the title of an article that appeared in the Arizona Republic yesterday...the author seems naive or ignorant of how things are done in "my world"...

Jaimee Rose writes:

So on this holiday that's supposed to be about saying thanks, there's often that pregnant pause for prayer. We're out of practice. We're from different cultures. We have varied beliefs, or none at all. The moment can get just a little awkward.

We could pray. We should. Many will, joyfully and graciously. But what if the new in-laws don't pray, and asking them to join hands and bow heads will make them squirm?

You know...I pray to give thanks...

I DON'T PRAY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!

Rose goes on: What if Grandpa says it, and he uses so many "thees" and "thous" that the kids fidget and the potatoes get cold? What if someone has already taken a bite? Would it be gauche to have him or her set down the fork in shame?

What is going on, I ask?

Since when does giving thanks for the many blessings we have received and continue to receive have to be subject to PC rules?...or any other "rules" for that matter?

If I am at home, at work, in a public place...when the food arrives, I bow my head and give thanks...

I don't believe that I am "performing", as one person observed...

Perhaps people have gotten away from the traditional saying grace before a meal...but, if someone is inclined to do so...it shouldn't matter for one second if anyone else is uncomfortable...disagrees...or ignores the moment...

IT DOESN'T MATTER...

What matters is that thanks is being given...from the heart...

Do I WANT to pull U.S. Troops out of Iraq?

The Jordanians Get It...Why Is It So Difficult For Our Own "Leaders" To Understand??

Here is the understatement of the year:

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may have miscalculated in his recent bid to attack Western hotels in Amman, Jordan....

May have?

I'm thinking that is a great, big, resounding...YES


"...Thousands of flag-waving Jordanians thronged downtown Amman in the 'March of the Nation,' a noisy, emphatic demonstration against the hotel attacks. 'Al-Zarqawi, you coward, what brought you here?' the angry crowd shouted. 'Cease, cease, al-Zarqawi, you are a villain!' the throng chanted. 'Cease, Cease, you terrorist, you are a coward!' ...'I came specifically to say to those terrorists and al-Zarqawi that we are all united against them. We do not want them on our land,' said Ghazi al-Hajjaj, 43, who traveled from Tafila, 115 miles south of Amman, to attend the rally. Palestinians from Jordan's 13 refugee camps also took part in the protest... Some men brought their families with them. Aya Abu-Ghosh, 9, came with her father and siblings. 'I came here to say to terror: Get out of our home. We don't want you. You scare us.' Many demonstrators lifted photos of King Abdullah II and carried banners denouncing the attacks in general and al-Zarqawi in particular. 'Al-Zarqawi, you are the enemy of God,' one read. The two-hour march concluded with a rally at a downtown square, where many dignitaries and Muslim and Christian clergymen addressed the crowd... One speaker, who did not give his name but told the audience that he was a member of Bani Hassan, al-Zarqawi's tribe, recited a poem condemning terrorism. 'You terrorist, you are a traitor and whoever follows your ideology is also a traitor, too. Go to hell, you son of Satan,' he read."

It really isn't that difficult to follow the thread and figure out what these terrorists are all about...

THEY WANT TO KILL US...ALL OF "US"

And it doesn't matter how nice we are to them...plain and simple...they want us dead...

When do you think the liberals will understand that terrorists never learned Cum-bay-ah...not even the first verse!

And, I hate to tell you this...but I really DON'T think terrorists have ever even heard of Rodney King...OR the concept of "can't we all just get along?"...

Maybe it's something in the water in DC...you think?

American Ex-President Bill Clinton Shames Himself For The Whole World to See

NewsMax reports: Former president Bill Clinton praised Saddam Hussein's lieutenants and their underlings on Tuesday, saying they were mostly "good" and "decent" people."
"When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad situation," he added.


While Clinton didn't name, names, Saddam's authority structure was dominated by his two murderous sons, Uday and Qusay, as well as notorious characters like Ali Hassan al-Majid, [aka Chemical Ali], Barzan al-Takriti, who ran the Iraq's brutal intelligence service, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who governed northern Iraq during chemical weapon attacks in the Kurds, and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash [aka Mrs. Anthrax], who was a member of Saddam's Baathist National Command.

Clinton offered praise for Saddam's lieutenants during the same speech where he criticized the U.S. invasion of Iraq as "a big mistake."

While that comment received wide coverage, only the United Arab Emirates Khaleej Times noted his description of Saddam's underlings as mostly good and decent....

Now let's just think about this for one minute...

Calling Saddam's lieutenants "good and decent" not only shows how desperate William Jefferson Clinton has become...it also indicates how this ex-president will say anything...doesn't matter if it is the truth or not...he will say whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear him say.

Shame on ex-president Clinton.

SHAME ON HIM!

How DARE he speak such vile words while our sons and daughters...our husbands...our fathers are still in a foreign country fighting a war!

SHAME ON EX-PRESIDENT CLINTON.

All citizens have the right to keep and bear arms....

If you think that banning guns in San Francisco is going to cut the crime rate...I have a bridge I want to sell you!

The gun ban prohibits the manufacture and sale of all firearms and ammunition in the city, and makes it illegal for residents to keep handguns in their homes or businesses....current handgun owners would have to surrender their firearms by April....

Rioting Spreads to 300 Towns in France

Rioting by French youths spread to 300 towns overnight and a man hurt in the violence died of his wounds, the first fatality in 11 days of unrest that has shocked the country, police said Monday.

As urban unrest spread to neighboring Belgium and possibly Germany, the French government faced growing criticism for its inability to stop the violence, despite massive police deployment and continued calls for calm....


"Bad Moon Rising" by CoxandForkum says it all...

Hollywood Only WISHES It Were True...

Oh ya...first we hear about a British director's view of the Marines in "Jarhead"...

Of course, I'm running to see that one...Right!

NOW we have THIS 'GAY COWBOY' MOVIE BECOMES AN OSCAR FRONTRUNNER

As Drudge quoted someone from Wyoming: ...she has never encountered a gay cowboy, and doesn't think it's right for Hollywood to portray Wyoming as a state with gay cowboys...

Ya, Hollywood...so desperate to cast in a bad light - Marines, cowboys, or anything that even seems like they come from the conservative side of things...

They can try...but none of it will take root...at least not where I come from...and I suspect not in most of the places where the rest of us live...

You know where I am talking about...

What Hollywood calls...

FLY-OVER COUNTRY...

AARON BROWN OUT AT CNN

Words cannot express how...ELATED...I am...!

I personally cannot STAND Aaron Brown...

His sneer is lewd...Jon Klein talks about Brown's "wicked" sense of humor...I think it is demented...

But...!

Such is life...

Drudge is reporting this memo:

To: All CNN Staff

From: Jon Klein

We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.

Aaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.

Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.

Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.

Heh...not here...he won't be missed...~grin~

Democrats...Liberals...Have Gone Mad

If you just take a moment to look at the headlines around the country, you will realize that the liberals have gone 'round the bend...

The reason?

They have NO platform...

They have NO morals...

They have NO principals...

The party that makes the most noise about race-hating...hates minorities the most, it appears...

Oh, you say to me...that CAN'T BE...it's the Liberals that are the touchy-feely-bleeding-hearts...

and I say to you...it's all an act...

Yep...a sad, phony, sick act...

Here's your proof:

Michael Steele, Lt. Governor for Maryland, announced that he is running for the Senate...last week, after Mr. Steele announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, we were unsurprised to hear about a doctored photo posted to Steve Gilliard's "News Blog," a liberal Web site, depicting Mr. Steele as a minstrel and describing him with racially stereotyped slurs.

Oh, an old liberal tactic...ESPECIALLY if a black politician is a Republican...!!!

"That just can't be...no, no, no, no, no, NO!"

"Why, if they are black and they aren't a Democrat...then...WE MUST DESTROY!"

The Captain gets it: That shows the leadership of the Democrats as they truly are -- a hate-based faith system that takes any means necessary to win elections. Cheating, violence, smears, and now racism are all acceptable as long as Republicans are the targets. If the Republicans happen to be members of minority communities, so much the better.
After all, it's not discrimination when you hate someone more because of the color of their skin or their ethnic background, is it?


Not if you're a leftist Democrat, it isn't....

Oh, this isn't the only thing that is going on...no...that is just the tip of the iceberg...

Let's take a look for a moment at what is going on with the nomination of Samuel Alito, Jr. to the Supreme Court...

Democratic Senators are outdoing themselves with this one...

After yesterday's publicity stunt of forcing a closed session in the Senate, Human Events asks: Are Reid and Other Democratic Demagogues Lying or Stupid?

Why is it nobody ever mentions these 128 words?

The United Nations concluded in 1999 that Saddam Hussein had biological weapons materials sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax; enough doses to kill several million people. He hasn’t accounted for that material. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed it….

…Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained. But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans -- this time armed by Saddam Hussein. It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. We will do everything in our power to make sure that that day never comes
....

So why is it that the libs are getting away with these crybaby, pouting, temper tantrums?

Because their friends in the media are only covering what THEY want to cover...still trying to brainwash the citizens of this country...

Liberals have been on the edge for a long time...

But you can always tell when someone REALLY gets under their skin...

Like Mike Steele...he obviously is a GREAT candidate if the libs are resorting to their oh-so-predictable-hysterical-racial attacks...

Like Sam Alito...he obviously is a FABULOUS candidate if the libs are resorting to hijacking the Senate...

Like petulant children the libs have only one thing to fall back on...crying and temper tantrums...

And, like always, the conservatives...the ADULTS in this whole scenario...must step over them and go about the business of running the country...

MICHAEL MOORE OWNS HALIBURTON!!!

"I don't own a single share of stock!" filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed....

He's right. He doesn't own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Oh, YA, it's true ...they just don't want us to know how seriously INSINCERE THEY ALL ARE!

Here's more on the phony-LYING-LIBERAL-LEFT:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who proclaims her support for unions, yet the luxury resort, the vineyard and the restaurants she partly owns are strictly non-union. While she advocates tough new laws enforcing environmental regulations on the private sector, the exclusive country club she partly owns failed to comply with existing environmental regulations for the past eight years – including a failure to protect endangered species.

Noam Chomsky has made a reputation for calling America a police state and branding the Pentagon "the most hideous institution on earth," yet his entire academic career, writes Schweizer, has been subsidized by the U.S. military.

Barbra Streisand is another proponent of environmentalism, yet she drives an SUV, lives in a mansion and has a $22,000 annual water bill. In the past, she has driven to appointments in Beverly Hills in a motor home because of her aversion to using public bathrooms....

Oh, I could write a book on my disgust for good ole, phony, fakey, Babs...

Listen...don't believe those LIARS for ONE SECOND!!!!

Oprah has been the latest mouthpiece for the DON'T-DO-AS-I-DO.....DO-AS-I-SAY crowd with her telling everyone recently "...if only everyone in the United States (the EVIL UNITED STATES...)...would drive economical, hybrid cars...."

uh, yea...um-hmm...and I am SURE that Oprah left her show in a Prius...

Oh YES, Oprah...and that child actor, Leonardo DiCaprio...telling everyone ELSE to drive fuel efficient cars, while they are chauffered in their SUVs and Limos...

SHUT UP ALREADY, LIBERALS...PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH HOLLYWOOD!!

...AND THEN...maybe...we will be able to take you seriously...

disgusting phonies...
