Marco Rubio’s Keynote Address at HLN Conference (VIDEO)

I know this is a week or so old, but for those of you who have not seen it, I would categorieze this as “must-see” video. This is from the Hispanic Leadership Network Conference in Miami Florida on January 27th. Marco Rubio is one of those Freshmen Republicans in Washington, but his star shines bright on the horizon. I expect many good things from this man in the future, and there couldn’t be a more important time in America’s history for people of Rubio’s character to become involved in politics to help right this ship.

A couple of excerpts from the transcript of the speech:

…when the choices that are put before us today are dangerous ones, because if we choose this path of pitting people against each other, if we buy into this notion that our economy really can’t grow fast enough for all of us to prosper so we’re going to have to somehow empower government to distribute the wealth of this country among us, we’ve chosen to become like everybody else. We’ve chosen to become like the countries that your parents and grandparents came here to get away from. And that’s a powerful message. And that’s the message that we need to deliver. And that’s the message we need to work on delivering. It’s a winning message, but it’s a difficult message to get to because the gateway issue of immigration stands in the minds of so many people who we live next to and love.

And what we have given the world, on issue after issue, is a light. A light that shines upon the world, and says that all human beings are endowed by God their creator with rights. That the source of those rights are not your king, your president, your laws or your government, but that you’re born with them. And because of that, anything you want to do, you should have a chance to be. Doesn’t matter where you were born, or where you came from, or whether your last name ends in a vowel. That’s who we have been, and if this century is to be an American Century, we have to figure out a way to make sure that that is who we remain.

I know Rubio has said “no” to a VP pick this year, but we can all dream, can’t we? There are so many young stars in this current Freshman class, I just hope America can survive until they reach those points in their careers where they are ready to run.

Question for Julianna Smoot – What’s Wrong With Karl Rove’s “Obsession?”

On Friday, Julianna Smoot from Obama’s 2012 campaign sent out an email alert titled “Karl Rove sent you a message.” This is just another of the Obama 2012 campaign emails begging for $3 for a varity of things, from a chance to have dinner with Barack and Michelle, to a chance for another dinner with Nancy Pelosi and Obama. $3 really? Would it be worth that? ! I don’t know about you all, but they’d have to PAY me to have dinner with any of these idiots. I don’t think I could keep my dinner down with Pelosi, either, so that would have to weigh in on my decision to parting with three of my hard-earned dollars. I’ll have to think on that one.

Oh, okay, I’ve decided: No thanks.

Anyway, Julianna’s email provides us with some earth-shattering, unbelievable insight into Karl Rove’s intentions for 2012. From the email (emphasis mine):

Nope 2012

Karl Rove tweeted about you.

When he heard about our Two-Term Fund, he tweeted:

Saw another @BarackObama fund appeal for $3 gift. Good mktg or forced by low enthusiasm? Bet many upset 08 donors are taking pass this year.

We often ask people for $3 because we believe as many people as possible should take ownership of the political process. It’s easy to understand why that might not compute to the guy doing a lot of the selling for a party bought and sold by special interests.

Since we launched the Two-Term Fund Wednesday afternoon, 48,481 people have stepped up and chipped in an average of $39.10 each.

Can you help — with $3 or whatever you can afford?

It’s telling that Karl Rove is planning to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the 2012 campaign — but hasn’t endorsed or worked for any of the candidates.

That’s because he doesn’t care who wins the nomination.

His singular, obsessive focus is defeating Barack Obama.

So, knowing Karl Rove is watching, here’s my real question:

Can you pitch in to stop him?

Wow! What a SHOCKA! Tell me something else, Captian Obvious. Karl Rove is singularly focused on beating Obama? Really? Julianna, that is some deep inside information you have there. You must have some hard-working moles in the GOP. Whoulda thunk that anybody on the right is primarily focused on making Obama a true one-termer? I do have my preference, but in the end, Karl Rove isn’t the only one who has this “obsessive focus.” Pretty much any conservative American has the same focus, I’m sure. There is no doubt whatsoever that a second term for Barack Obama would put this country on a path from which I don’t know if it can return.

Barry’s campaign is so lucky to have such an insightful person as Julianna on their team. She’s really got that extra special something.

By the way…you all have figured out why they always ask for $3, don’t you? Having a practical background in marketing, I figured this one out very quickly. If someone is going to belly up to their computer to give $3, they’re going to say to themselves “why not just go ahead and give the next denomination up… $5?” It’s a mind trick, folks. Then they think (OfA hopes) “…then why not $10?” It’s the same ruse that retailers use when they list an item for $7.99 so that your mind says it’s “less than $8,” even though the difference is just a penny. Quite telling to see this marketing genius employeed by OfA.

While Our Divorced Parents Fight & Embarrass Us in Public, I’m Taking This Time to Test Out Some New Themes For My Site

From the Desk of MsU ~

As you all know who have been reading (or trying to read) my blog lately, I have been suffering from several things: On a brief hiatus; recovering from a debilitating health problem; having problems with bad HTML codes; experimenting with new themes for customization (with as little of a financial impact on me as possible, which is very key); and a slight burnout on these embarrassing weeks of GOP on GOP in-fighting.

I gotta tell ya folks; this kind of reminds me of something a friend of mine recently went through. She and her siblings agreed to meet with their now-divorced parents for dinner. While at the restaurant after exchanging shallow pleasantries, her parents began immediately engaging in loud and boisterous arguing about what the other had done wrong in the marriage. Dad was yelling at mom, and mom was yelling at dad, and it wasn’t meant, quite clearly, to bridge any relationship gaps that had formed since their divorce many years ago.

As the other patrons at the restaurant were clearly becoming more and more uncomfortable at the tenor of the fight, my friend and her siblings found themselves sinking lower and lower in their chairs. They were PRAYING for the food to come so hopefully the food would shut the mouths of their parents and stop them from this very public debacle. But that didn’t happen. The food came and sat there while they continued to bellow at each other, while all the kids gave each other that knowing look – “we gotta get out of here!”

So quietly, as the arguing continued, the children got up slowly attempting to appear as they needed to go to the restrooms, all the while knowing they were headed out the door. Their parents didn’t even notice. And that was fine with the kids. They found themselves reaching the door, slipping quietly out, and as soon as the doors shut, they turned and yelled at the restaurant doors: “WILL YOU BOTH PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP?” They knew their parents couldn’t hear them, but they just had to say it. Mom and dad embarrassed the HELL out of them! They decided they couldn’t take it anymore, and they were just delighted to be out of earshot of the warring sides.

That, my friends, is how I feel today about the mud-slinging that is going on between Mitt & Newt. And you know who the losers are? We, the American People. The sad part? So many of us are so disgusted we might just stay at home and refuse to meet them at the “restaurant” EVER AGAIN! You know who that helps? Barack Obama. Yet we are so tired of the pettiness of the primaries at this point, we just don’t give a damn. Yes, at the end of the primary, we will almost certainly go whole-hog behind the GOP nominee because we know America cannot survive another term of Barack Obama, but we will NEVER forgive our “parents” for doing this to us in the first place.

Have all elections before this been nasty and unseemly? Of course. But this is such a crucial time that we cannot afford to chance ANYTHING! I know we have nine months to go until the election, but I almost cannot bear the thought of even 2 more months of this going on. I’m a news junkie, and I listen to talk radio all day at work. But lately, I’ve been listening to music and only music…I have to escape for a while to retain my sanity. I even hate the negative attack ads on TV and radio, but there is one possible upside to all of this; hopefully everything that can be dug up about Newt, Mitt and Santorum will be dug up before the general election begins.

The one thing I do know, however, is when the general election does begin, the Obama machine will probably wipe all of our collective memories clean of all the primary filth that was washed across our TV screens each day and night. It will bring campaign politics to an all-time low, as the O Machine will have more cash than any campaign ever before, and will have surrogates across all mediums including Hollywood, the mainstream media, the Race Pimp Industry and its leaders, MSNBC, the liberal press (both print and online), the music industry, Oprah Winfrey, George Soros, the Unions, Van Jones, Podesta’s “Center for American Progress,” and too many others to mention.

I am convinced that the DNC and leftists in general were wholly and completely behind the demise of Herman Cain. I’ve known Herman Cain for a while, and every single tramp that was trotted out by Gloria Allred, or who came out on their own (anonymously), were all lying about what they said about Herman Cain. If what Cain did to them was SOOOO egregious, where is Gloria now? Where is Sharon Bialik now? If these women were so aggrieved, why aren’t they continuing to pursue Herman now? Because they have NOTHING to prove he is guilty of what they accused him. Gloria is a feminazi publicity whore, and I see she has now moved on to bigger and better things now. Does this woman have no shame? Oh, wait… that’s right, she doesn’t. How does she manage to sleep at night? Hey, I know…PROBABLY ALONE – EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!

And do you know why they had to destroy Herman Cain so quickly? Because even though they thought Herman couldn’t win the primary, he could possibly continue onward and perhaps get a nod for V.P. for one of the others. And the one thing the Obama campaign and the DNC needed to keep in their arsenal was the race card. So for them to get rid of Herman early was priority number one. They couldn’t stand to see a successful black man, who was a conservative man of faith, with a wife of 43 years and LOADS of successful business experience. Herman, I was rooting for you, and prayed for you to stay in for the distance and fight the left. However, I know what you’ve been through with your health and everything else – you did what you had to do. After all, as you’ve often said, family comes first. Your wife Gloria is one of the luckiest women alive. Mz. Allred has disgraced her good first name. I am happy you don’t have to put up with this crap anymore, Herman, but this country is going to miss out on having you as someone of prominence in national government where you could truly make a difference.

Make no mistake, however. Whomever winds up being the general election candidate would be wise to consider you for any of the many Cabinet secretaries, for which you would be a tremendous asset: Treasury, OMB, DOD, Commerce, Energy, just to name a few.

But I digress. If you see some differences on my site in the near future, please bear with me as I experiment with it. I am not completely ignoring politics, but like my friend’s parent, right now I’m just embarrassed and want them to shut the hell up. I’ll keep one eye on the news, the other eye on the blog.

I pray this country can make it through the next year, and I hope we can make Obama a true one-term president. Because I’m afraid if we don’t, a “lame duck” Obama presidency will be the most single dangerous thing our country has ever seen, and I’m not so sure we can make it through it without becoming a failed pseudo-socialist state, sinking alongside the other European countries.

A Fiery Debate Erupts On The Five Over Allen West’s “Get Out of the USA” Speech (VIDEO) **UPDATED**

***SCROLL BELOW FOR UPDATES***

Man, oh, MAN, Congressman Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) really got under Bob Beckel’s collar yesterday. You see, it seems that West’s diatribe telling Lefties to take their progressive, socialist agendas to Europe, the bottom of the sea, or wherever they like, but take it out of the United States of America! This got Bob’s boxers in a bunch. Here’s the exchange from The Five‘s panel:


I don’t care what Bob says, Greg Gutfeld is right; amped up and hateful rhetoric is welcomed from black liberals, but let a black conservative say something incendiary like this and the left goes NUTS!

Stay tuned, West has a retort… next post.

***UPDATE 01/31/12***

On The Five today, Bob Beckel and the panel respond to Lt. Col. Allen West saying this morning on Fox & Friends that Bob owed him an apology for his on-air tirade against him for remarks he made at a FL GOP event regarding Obama, Reid, Pelosi & Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Bob refuses to do so, and says today is where it ends, although he polls the panel on whether or not he should apologize. Watch the exchange here:

Here is West on Fox & Friends this morning:

Not sure about you, but I’m with West here. I hope he is Secretary of Defense in the next Republican administration. That is, these two idiots on top stop acting like children and lose the race to Obama just because they can’t act like adults.

Paul Ryan Lays Out the Budget Political Divide on Fox News Sunday (VIDEO)

This is just another reason why I’m sad that Ryan isn’t running for POTUS this year. However, as effective and convicted as he is about budgetary matters, perhaps he can truly achieve more in the House. Either way, I’m just glad our side has such a strong proponent of capitalism and the importance of having a budget. Video courtesy Fox News Sunday:

America…PLEASE wake up to this class warfare game that the Dems and Obama are playing. Their policies are so antithetical to prosperity, it’s no wonder that those who are in the dependent classes in America fall for this tripe every time. The ones who get the goodies are the ones who vote for those who give the goodies. But sooner or later, we will all be out of goodies to give, and who will be to blame? All of us, truthfully, because we aren’t engaged in this fight as much as we should be in order to see the change we need.
