Hello again everyone. What a fine weekend this is! Well, at least here in the Sunshine state it is. We’ve had quite a few submissions this week. Given all the news of last week – it doesn’t surprise me at all. We also have a more diverse group of submissions as well to choose from this week. Surprisingly, given this past week was Earth Week and Earth Day was celebrated on Wednesday – not one post about global warming! Thank you for not putting me through that. LOL. I think you will enjoy them all. If you agree, or even disagree, with what these bloggers have to say – why don’t you head on over to their place(s) and leave them a comment. I’m sure they will appreciate it.
Also – I know I have a tendency to drown out some of the submissions with all of my additional chatter and comments. I promise I’ll keep them more brief!
Conservative
Steve Parry presents Obama Focuses On Real Threat… Credit Card Companies posted at The Axis of Stevil.
Those damned evil credit card companies! I’m sure if the Obama administration waterboarded those bank executives, waterboarding wouldn’t be considered torture!
Silicon Valley Blogger presents Does Achieving Wealth Make You “Upper Class”? Facts About Class posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “Thanks!”
I like your detailed explanation of the classes. When I first read this – my first thought was about lottery winners. If you were white trash before you won those millions – you’re still white trash when you get the millions. Money doesn’t change who you are – just the amount of stuff you can buy.
The Smarter Wallet presents Positive Personal Financial Planning Strategies During A Down Economy posted at The Smarter Wallet.
These are all great tips. I’m currently in the process of getting rid of all my debt. I’ve already cut up my credit cards. But – one thing I will NEVER do is buy stock in GE. I don’t care whether they recover or not. The fact that Immelt is using his assets (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC) to control the message, elect Obama, push Obama’s cap-and-trade initiatives, only to further the advancement of GE and become a quasi-government controlled entity just doesn’t sit right with me.
Democrats
Yoav B presents Barack Obama’s military history posted at Israeli Soldier’s LIFE & THOUGHTS, saying, “Barack Obama and IDF…. YES YES YES!”
Shalom Yoav and Welcome to the Carnival. I have a great respect for the IDF unlike Obama. Unless you meant that comparison as a joke, I really don’t see how you could come to that conclusion. I do like your blog – an insider’s view of the IDF. If you understood Obama the way we do – you might take it as an insult to think Obama would ever consider being a member of the IDF. He hates you guys.
Liberal
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Rudy’s Family Values posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
Wow, Mad Kane – I guess you got it bad for Rudy to bring up old news again! 
vjack presents Taking a Stand Against War Crimes: Call for a Special Prosecutor and Impeachment of Bybee posted at Atheist Revolution.
First – we don’t fall under “international laws.” We follow our American Constitution and the laws interpreted as a result of it. Second – if you start prosecuting administration officials for their advice given to Presidents – all following governments would fail because no advisor will ever want to give any advice knowing they could possibly go to jail at the hands of the following administration that may have disagreed with that advice. These advisors made their decisions and gave the advice based on their interpretations of the laws and put it in writing. It’s not like their advise was given without great consideration. What you are calling for is very dangerous. Why are you only calling for the prosecution of Bush admin officials? Why not Clinton’s administration for ordering the bombing of an aspirin factory? Why not LBJ for Viet Nam? Why not Carter for…oh yeah – he failed miserably. In any case – you need to be very careful of what you wish for – you just might get it…and…if you get it this time…our country suffers and becomes impotent as a result.
Miscellaneous
Lisa Harding presents Real? « Plan “A” posted at Plan “A”, saying, “Adoption”
Well, not exactly related to politics. However, I think this is a very important message to get out to everyone. Adopted children are special children and the parents who adopt them are the “real” parents. Common sense has left many people nowadays. Thanks for this submission.
David Verjano & Anthony Hernandez presents The Virtue of Restraint posted at Life as (Un)usual.
Two words – I agree!
Joseph presents why I despise liberals posted at conservative joe.
Did you really vote for Obama? Oh well, we all make mistakes I guess. But, if you really are a conservative – how could you possibly have missed all the signs that he was indeed going to spend and waste our taxpayer dollars with all of his “share the wealth” schemes. I do however agree with your assessment about closed-minded liberals who only say make these incendiary statements to be a member of their elitist clubs. I never did like Garafalo or Olbermann.
Sarah Scrafford presents 10 Most Surprising College Majors in Presidential History posted at Learn-gasm.
Welcome back Sarah – You’re right – I was surprised by this list – Especially Truman.
Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 presents Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 posted at Blog Pemilihan Umum, saying, “Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 mulai 1 Februari sampai 1 Mei 2009. Di tahun 2009 ini Indonesia akan menggelar 2 kali pemilihan umum. Yang pertama ialah pemilihan umum untuk memilih wakil-wakil rakyat yang akan duduk di parlemen Majelis Permusyawatan Rakyat atau MPR. Dan pemilihan umum yang kedua diselenggarakan untuk memilih presiden dan wakil presiden Republik Indonesia. Pelaksanaan pemilu sendiri digelar pada tanggal 9 April 2009 untuk pemilihan umum wakil-wakil rakyat di dewan legislatif Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat dan pada tanggal 8 Juli 2009 untuk pemilihan presiden dan wakil presiden Republik Indonesia”
Umm. What? Okay – I don’t understand the language – but – I do know how to use the Google Translator. Given that this is related to politics – perhaps someone who actually does speak this language might find this blog with this post – so – I guess I’ll leave it.
C. E. Dowalt presents Jimmy Obama posted at Money Confidential.
Jimmy Obama – that’s a good one. You make some very excellent points about this administration and how ineffectual it has already become as it pursues this course to socialism and appeasement of evil. Excellent.
News
Chris presents Mad Libs With Jackie Chan And The Yellow Press posted at Martial Development, saying, “Everyone is rushing to condemn Jackie Chan for his recent political speech. Methinks they protest too much…”
I think Jackie Chan usually has a level head. I’m sure your contextual translation is probably more accurate.
Politics
lsm presents Cars Smart enough to Kill. posted at awaken the elephants blog.
That’s a big Duh! LOL. I’m sure we taxpayers paid for that study. I won’t be giving up my SUV any time soon either.
Mark Couturier presents Grannies’ Protests Against Afghan War Falls on Deaf Ears posted at Independent-American.
I remember reading this and thinking – who listens to people wearing granny panties anyway?
Mark Couturier presents Were the Tea Party Protests Carefully Staged Events, or Did They Represent a Genuine People’s Revolt? posted at Independent-American.
I encourage my readers to go over to this one and respond. I responded to let his left-leaning blogger know that these Tea Parties were not about Obama and that they were all sponsored by local communities and local individuals. I got blasted by the loonies over there. They really are sheep – just parroting the same things over and over that they heard from MSM, CNN, and MSNBC. They really don’t get it. I don’t know how Mark attracts them to his site – but – he really gets the sheeple on his site.
Aetius Romulous presents Mark to Market Magic – and Madness posted at ScreamBucket.
We need to bring logic back in to this country. The suspension of Mark to Market was probably one of the most idiotic moves of our lifetime. Having worked for one of the Big 5 accounting firms myself at one time – I am very familiar with FASB. You’re right – when it comes to the government – they have no teeth – but – they will damned sure bear them to accounting firms and corporations.
Mark Couturier presents House Republicans to Napolitano: Get out! posted at Independent-American.
Well – considering she just pissed off the Canadians by declaring that 9/11 terrorists came from Canada, and the fact she allowed millions of illegal immigrants through the Arizona borders while she was their Governor – I would say this woman is in the wrong job. She needs to go.
Mark Couturier presents Will the Republicans Reverse Their Position on Gay Rights? posted at Independent-American.
As I stated in my comments on your site – given the fact that 73% of this country opposes gay marriage – Republicans are on the right side of this issue. But – if they were really smart – they would get out of the moral issues and stick strictly to following the constitution. As a Conservative, I am personally opposed to gay marriage. However, the Libertarian side of me – and the side of me that follows the constitution – says that government has no reason to interfere.
Mark Couturier presents Book on Great Depression Finds Favor Among Conservatives posted at Independent-American.
I haven’t read the book yet myself – but, from the reviews its getting – especially from the Liberals – it must be spot on. We all know that when someone comes upon the truth about Liberalism and compares FDR to the fascist ideologies that he espoused – the libs come out from the woodwork to defend his socialist policies.
David Lamb presents When Will Congress Learn to Read? posted at Killer Buffalo.
Bwahahaha! Good one. They don’t have time to read the laws they are implementing. They’re too busy giving grandiose speeches to spread the lies to keep their power. If they really did care about this country and were doing their jobs – they would read the bills they are signing of on – and that goes for both parties.
Len Penzo presents How Mexico Can Save Its Oil Industry: Sell Baja California to the US posted at Len Penzo . Com, saying, “You can argue that this wild idea is just another example of bald-faced American imperialism, but if Mexico continues to insist on banning foreign investment in its dying oil industry that country may cease to exist as we know it anyway — and those in the US that can afford it will be paying $8 for a gallon of unleaded.”
Well – it’s a good proposal. However, Americans would be saddled with another piece of resource rich land that the Government will not allow us to exploit. Unless we were actually allowed to extract the resources – it would be a huge loss for this country.
