WTH?
Is that a hatchet?!

Great article over at American Spectator by Jeffrey Lord. It draws points out the history of the wimp factor in Republican politics. From Dewy to Ford to Dole to McCain to the present it addresses the battle of the GOP establishment to deny conservatives a seat at the table. Know your history lest you repeat it.
"Ford Declares Reagan Can't Win" -- Headline in The New York Times, March 1, 1980
Sound familiar? It was Ford's turn. Reagan was a hindrance from the right. Now we have the GOP "favorite" Romney being threatened by Gingrich. It's Romeny's turn so, Katie bar the doors! Mr. Lord goes on to point out the reality of Romney. Obamacare? Here is his take.
In the finest tradition of Establishment wimpiness assuring that Romney really doesn't mean it when he talks about undoing Obamacare. Oh no. After all, in Coleman's words:
"We're not going to do repeal. You're not going to repeal Obamacare… It's not a total repeal… You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president.… You can't whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what's been done."
From Establishment spokesman Senator Coleman -- still more mush.
And you know who understands exactly the message that's being sent by Romney?
Hold on to your conservative hat. That would be no less than uber-leftist George Soros, who recently said this:
"Well, look, either you'll have an extremist conservative, be it Gingrich or Santorum, in which case I think it will make a big difference which of the two comes in," Soros told Reuters in a videotaped interview.Thanks George. One hates to say it, but George Soros is right. Note well: It is conservatives Gingrich and Santorum that Soros fears -- not Romney.
"If it's between Obama and Romney, there isn't all that much difference except for the crowd that they bring with them."
Go.......read the whole thing.

What better way to get the word out on the new rules in the park? Shoot a guy with a stun gun for walking his dog without a leash....of course. Seems reasonable, maybe, sort of.
A Montara man walking two lapdogs off leash was hit with an electric-shock gun by a National Park Service ranger after allegedly giving a false name and trying to walk away, authorities said Monday.
The park ranger encountered Gary Hesterberg with his two small dogs Sunday afternoon at Rancho Corral de Tierra, which was recently incorporated into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, said Howard Levitt, a spokesman for the park service.
I'm betting the next dog walker will be on leash!!!!

It's been a long time. Years to be exact. Yet, like riding a bike, you never forget how to fly. What I did forget is how much fun it is.
Saturday, I ran into an old friend and asked him about a Light Sport facility at KSEE. "Out of business, Rumbear" he replied. Then he followed up with "Why do you ask?" Just thinking about alternatives to get my Bear butt back in the air. "Walk with me" and we were off....
Mutual friend owns FBO at KMYF. FBO just received their first Cessna 162 "Skycatcher". Light Sport aircraft. If you have a SEL you are qualified, just need a check out or BFR. The offer of a Tour de Sandy Eggo from the air was proffered. Deal.
Today...it was a done deal. What a day! What a blast! Thanks Don!!
Color me smitten.
The Lord has ways of telling us we need to work harder. I just heard my bell....

Michelle Obama 'closed off Agent Provocateur's Madison Avenue boutique to spend $50,000 on lingerie'
The Telegraph claimed: 'Michelle Obama has risked the wrath of cash-strapped Americans by indulging in a $50,000 shopping spree at Agent Provocateur...'Along with the the Queen of Qatar, Sheikha Mozah, she closed off part of Madison Avenue to spend time in the luxury lingerie shop.'
The article also said that Mrs Obama's alleged spree had sparked the 12 per cent boost in sales recently released by the British label.
Agent Provocateur has refused to issue comment on whether any of the claims were true or false.
A spokesman for the label said only: 'Agent Provocateur declines to comment regarding celebrity and VIP customers.'

A very wise man opines...
“Those who want to concentrate on the baggage in Newt Gingrich’s past, rather than on the nation’s future, should remember what Winston Churchill said: ‘If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.’ If that means a second term for Barack Obama, then it means we’ve lost, big time.”

Plane Porn
"Connie" aka Lockheed EC121 Constellation.
The Lockheed Constellation ("Connie") was a propeller-driven airliner powered by four 18-cylinder radial Wright R-3350 engines. It was built by Lockheed between 1943 and 1958 at its Burbank, California, USA, facility. A total of 856 aircraft were produced in numerous models, all distinguished by a triple-tail design and dolphin-shaped fuselage. The Constellation was used as a civilian airliner and as a U.S. military air transport, seeing service in the Berlin Airlift. It was the presidential aircraft for U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Home Run!
Found this little missive over at Riehl World View. Let's just say it struck a note.
Why I'm Backing Newt Gingrich
For conservatives, I'm a might tired of the weenies who prance around on the Internet as if they're spoiling for a fight, then when someone with a little fight in them comes along, they start sounding like pussified Republicans. Oh, God, no, we can't have that go on!!One of the Left's big advantages is, they aren't afraid of a little passion in their politics. They're also more willing to take risks. Well, there's a rule of thumb that applies, higher risk is required for higher reward. Look it up in your capitalist manifesto, when you climb down off your high horse and stop defending it, when it wasn't under attack in the first place.
I didn't start out backing Newt Gingrich. Perry was my guy. He's gone and you go to war with the army you've got, or you can sit in your tent and pick your ass, while government continues to grow and we continue the long, slow slide into statism that's been going on for almost a century, now.
It is inconceivable that we will see any serious Right-leaning reform from a guy like Mitt Romney. He may work hard at some things when it suits him, but he has no history of fighting for anything other than perhaps parochial interests when the current is seriously against him. And the current in Washington and the media is most definitely against conservatism.

Another must read, especially you "pussified Republicans": Clicky Clicky

A Democrats View.
Great article posted up over at the American Thinker. president Zero may be serving his "base" however the common sense Democrats are growing, uh umm, restless. Karin McQuillan would be in such group....
Now We Know Who Was Right about Obama
On intelligence, sadly, the Democrats were completely wrong. Democrats swooned over Obama's suave self-presentation. They constantly cited his position as editor at the Harvard Law Review as an impressive qualification to be president of the United States. (Strange, but true.) Republicans who did their homework knew that Obama was not the first black, but only the first affirmative action Harvard Law Review editor. He did make history at the Law Review: he was the only editor never to write an article for the Review. Indeed, Obama has never written a law article on anything. Despite being given a job as lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago, he is unpublished.
Journalists proclaimed him the most intelligent man to ever hold the White House. What does this great brain do with his free time? According to the New York Times, his favorite activities are playing Taboo, Wii video games, and basketball. It seems that the Republicans were right who wondered about a mediocre high school student who smoked dope and drifted through his early college years at Occidental and was an "unspectacular" student at Columbia. As Donald Trump asked, "I heard he was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?" Percy Sutton, former borough president of Manhattan, in a TV interview, gives one possible answer: Islamic supremacist Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, an advisor to a wealthy Saudi, paid for Barack Obama to go to Harvard Law School.
We now see the lazy student, the charmer in the White House, busy at what he likes best: golf, basketball, vacations, parties, speeches, and raising money. He has not been the policy wonk Democrats dreamed of, President Clinton redux. Obama doesn't do hard work. He farmed out his health reform to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, showing no interest or capability in formulating the details of the policy or even working the politics to get it through Congress. He famously didn't lift the phone to call Capitol Hill and get his signature policy passed. Obama's only contribution was nonstop speeches, which failed to win over the country. He doesn't seem interested in or capable of formulating an intelligent economic policy or foreign policy. He doesn't care enough to even try.

Just like that Rick Perry has pulled his campaign to the side of the trail and has suspended operations. Like a cattle drive that ran out of cattle. He stopped long enough to endorse Newt Romney as the most viable Conservative in the group. Guess he is heading back to Texas to wait for Ron Paul.
Thus, we are left with Rick Santorum, Newt Romney, Mitt Gingrich and ....Ron Paul. The best and the brightest.....Lord help us.
