Oh, Punchy the Teddy Bear loves to pull out Ann Coulter quotes when it serves his agenda, just like quoting “Republican Jeff Flake said this about Trump or Republican Bob Corker called Trump a liar or Republican John McCain said this about Trump….or….drumroll please….Doug Malfia disagreed with the Liar in Chief!!!!
Yep, our Ann is a pistol, no doubt. A firecracker for sure. Last time it looked like Trump was caving on The Wall, she tore him a new one and Trump unfollowed her on Twitter, ROFLMAO. She will calm down again once the Wall is built….and it will be built. You can take that to the bank.
Personally, I think Ann could use a few pounds on her slender frame. Curves are nice. Don’t need her looking like that boy on MSNBC, Rachel Madcow.
Once the Wall gets built, Punchy and M and even Bobbie Buttercup will be hating on her again. I still laugh when I think of her 2006 book, “How to talk to a Liberal if you have to” with the updated version “How to talk to a Liberal or a Republican if you Have To.” She says the darnest things….and is pretty much spot on. Never change, Ann. We love ya, warts and all. Tell it like it is, Ann.
Ann quotes:
-I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote.
-Democrats couldn’t care less if people in Indiana hate them. But if Europeans curl their lips, liberals can’t look at themselves in the mirror.
-Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.
-I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am.
-If we’re so cruel to minorities, why do they keep coming here? Why aren’t they sneaking across the Mexican border to make their way to the Taliban?
-Liberals are stalwart defenders of civil liberties – provided we’re only talking about criminals.
-If John Kerry had a dollar for every time he bragged about serving in Vietnam – oh wait, he does.
-As the leader of twelve apostles, even Jesus had more executive experience than Obama.
-Democrats always assure us that deterrence will work, but when the time comes to deter, they’re against it.
-The really amazing part, to me, was when Florida made it into the Final Four, the Democrats didn’t demand a recount.
“I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.” –at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference
-“I’m more of a man than any liberal.”
“These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much.” –on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration
“We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee. That’s just a joke, for you in the media.”
“Liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole.”
“There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats.”
and….more!!
-I am a Christian first, and a mean spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don’t you ever forget it.
-I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.”
-Why not go to war just for oil? We need oil. What do Hollywood celebrities imagine fuels their private jets? How do they think their cocaine is delivered to them?”
-Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do. They don’t have the energy. If they had that much energy, they’d have indoor plumbing by now.”
“The swing voters—I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don’t have set philosophical principles. You’re either a liberal or you’re a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster.”
-The New York Times editorial page is like a Ouija board that has only three answers, no matter what the question. The answers are: higher taxes, more restrictions on political speech and stricter gun control.”
-“My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”

Wasn’t he the one who said Trump had no foreign policy experience (or any experience) and Putin would eat his lunch???? Eat him alive! Trump will destroy the Republican Party. He will be gone in 3, 4, 6 months max!
Was tha jon smith or some other solely mistaken ‘mark the tape” fortune teller?
“Upon Lincoln’s election, the Memphis Daily Appeal wrote on November 13, 1860:
“Within 90 days from the time Lincoln is inaugurated, the Republican Party will be utterly ruined and destroyed. His path is environed with so many difficulties, that even if he had the ability of Jefferson and the energy of Jackson, he would fail, but he is a weak and inexperienced man, and his administration will be doomed from the commencement. If he takes that radical section of the Republican Party, the conservative wing of it will cut loose and repudiate him. If, on the other hand, he courts the conservatives and pursues a moderate conciliatory policy, the radicals will make open war upon his administration.”
These criticisms of Lincoln were not confined to the South.
In his book 1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History, author Charles Bracelen Flood noted that The New York Herald once wrote that “his election was a rash experiment, his administration is a deplorable failure.” The northern paper’s editors also said, “As President of the United States he must have enough sense to see and acknowledge he has been an egregious failure. One thing must be self-evident to him, and that is that under no circumstances can he hope to be the next President of the United States… [He should] retire from the position to which, in an evil hour, he was exalted.”
Does any of this sound familiar?
Just as President Trump rails against “fake news,” President Lincoln felt that a significant front in his war to preserve the Union was against the news media. This made Lincoln highly critical and skeptical of media.
According to Noah Brooks, a reporter who had regular access to Lincoln, President Lincoln often said, “the worst feature about newspapers was that they were so sure to be ‘ahead of the hounds,’ outrunning events, and exciting expectations which were sure to be disappointed.”
Lincoln, who was embroiled in a civil war in which the very survival of the country was at stake, was also much tougher and more aggressive with the media than anyone could imagine in the modern era. This included shutting down newspapers and imprisoning journalists who supported secession from the Union.
But the hostility toward Lincoln within the Washington establishment and the political elite was just as ferocious.
Edward Everett, the famous orator who spoke for hours at Gettysburg while Lincoln gave a very brief but historically and morally a much more powerful speech, wrote in his diary that Lincoln was, “evidently a person of very inferior cast of character, wholly unequal to the crisis.”
According to George Templeton Strong, a prominent New York lawyer, Lincoln was “a barbarian, Scythian, yahoo, or gorilla.”
Even the general who Lincoln chose to lead the Union Army, George McClellan, dismissed President Lincoln as a frontier hack, “an idiot,” and “the original gorilla.”
Even among his fellow Republicans, Lincoln encountered fierce attacks.
Republican William M. Dickson of Ohio wrote in 1861 that Lincoln “is universally an admitted failure, has no will, no courage, no executive capacity … and his spirit necessarily infuses itself downwards through all departments.”
You decide whether attacks on President Trump’s hair or attacks on Lincoln’s intelligence are more demeaning.
President Lincoln was a very different man facing a radically more dangerous situation than President Trump. Yet each president represents a direct threat to a national establishment by an outsider.
The next time you hear a nasty attack on President Trump, consider what people wrote and said about President Lincoln.
There is a lot more similarity between the Lincoln crisis of the Union and the Trump crisis of the Establishment than most people will want to even consider.“

Why am I not surprised? Ann Coulter was right. The only time the Leftinistas care about civil liberties is when are talking about criminals… and the Leftinistas care more about murdering jihadists than they care about our citizens.
“This is the old liberal problem of viewing the criminal justice system as a push-and-pull between the punitive and the rehabilitative. Theoretically, it can do both, but it also has one other role: protective. It keeps bad people from us.
In the case of these nine men, they wanted to join a murderous organization intent on setting up a brutal caliphate and killing anyone that got in its way, including American troops and civilians. These are individuals that we desperately need to be protected from — yet Rep. Omar believed that this was on the level of “patients with chemical dependencies.”
This is perhaps my inexperience, but I don’t see too many fentanyl addicts calling for jihad or trying to obtain fake passports.”

Why are the Leftinistas fighting an extremely qualified minority gay jurist to the 9th District Court Of Appeals?
It seems that the only thing holding Democrats back from confirming a highly qualified, diverse nominee is their bias against his perceived politics. Despite his active association with many organizations representing many diverse groups, his work defending members of marginalized communities, and his work across many areas of legal expertise, the one thing that seems to be unacceptable to Democrat senators is his conservative judicial and political worldview.

PaulE 909am – I think you have trouble understanding such comparisons. Mr Tozer was only comparing the vilifications both presidents received when they were not yet legends in their own times. Lincoln was not yet the national icon when he was disparaged (and during a devastating war when he was sending tens of thousands a week to their deaths). And, of course, currently neither is President Trump. Mr Tozer was simply pointing out the political portents of both men during their public opinion low points. I hope that helps you avoid such logical stumbles in the future.

“Many right-wing figures lined up Friday night to criticize President Donald Trump for temporarily ending the government shutdown for three weeks without having convinced Congress to fund his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Controversial commentator Ann Coulter called Trump “the biggest wimp ever to serve as president” and Fox Business host Lou Dobbs said Trump had been “whipped” by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

From Ann’s blog.: BREAK GROUND, NOT PROMISES
January 23, 2019
———————————
Drug dealers, drunk drivers, criminals, welfare dependents and low-wage workers driving down American wages continued to flow across our border…….
Here’s what you haven’t done, Mr. President: You haven’t broken ground. You want your supporters back? BREAK GROUND TODAY.
You know those caravans marching north toward our border? They’re not giving speeches about how they’re coming north. They’re not tweeting about how they’re coming north. They’re not giving Oval Office addresses about how they’re coming north.
They’re coming north.
What you need to do today — not after the State of the Union address, not after the next GOP retreat, not after another meeting with the Democrats — is to start rolling construction trucks to the southern border.”
The most fundamental responsibility of the U.S. president is to protect the nation’s sovereignty. It is not to ensure the safety of the Kurds or the Syrian Christians or Pakistani goat herders, but to ensure the safety and security of the American people. BREAK GROUND TODAY.
The Senate’s latest omnibus spending bill provides “not less than $15,000,000” for border security — in Pakistan. The border security of our own country has become a joke. BREAK GROUND TODAY.
Yesterday people crossed our border who will kill Americans. Today there are people crossing our border who will kill Americans. And tomorrow there will be more people crossing our border who will kill Americans. BREAK GROUND TODAY.
It’s great that you met with the Clemson football team, but while you were doing that, people were crossing the border who will kill Americans. BREAK GROUND TODAY.
Countless presidents and presidential candidates have vowed to stop illegal immigration. Good intentions, bad intentions — it doesn’t matter. They didn’t keep their promises. BREAK GROUND TODAY.
Emergency powers or no emergency powers, on tomorrow night’s news we want to see helicopters circling the trucks headed to the border. BREAK GROUND TODAY.
They have a caravan; you have a caravan. They’re heading north; you head south. BREAK GROUND TODAY.

President Lincoln often said, “the worst feature about newspapers was that they were so sure to be ‘ahead of the hounds,’ outrunning events, and exciting expectations which were sure to be disappointed.”

MMM @10:37 am
Doubt away. Last night, The Union’s article about the local pot shop dope selling store opening ( one of their 9 article slideshow on the left side of the on-line edition) also was blocked as “Restricted Site”. I could read all the other articles , except the pot shop article. This’ all started a few weeks ago when I could not access certain websites and writers via the links the Drudge Report lists at the bottom. Or maybe it was some of those British papers when I first noticed it. Nor could I access Victor Davis Hansen’s excellent unassailable article on Dr. Rebane’s fantabulous post “Twilight in California—VDH nails it”. I have since found workarounds, per normal.
I think it was something to do with Goggle Chrome. I have been warned by an extremely successful and a techie of quasi-fame that IF you care about your privacy and Big Bro tracking your every move in life, then NEVER use gooogle chrome. I don’t. But, the kids dropped by, used my little computer machines, and tied in all my devises and used Google Chrome on my Android that evening……and problems started shortly after that.
I don’t know shit about computers or devices or the internet. I did not need to know while working. If I had a problem, I just picked up the phone and techies from Frisco or Sac come running and fixed it…or make it do what I wanted. Anything I wanted. Nice young people, but had to tell them I don’t want this or that they recommend, just make it do this…now. My own personal Geek Squard, but those nice young men and woman were lot more than that. Heck, one kid starting explaining something about electrons bouncing and Xs and 0s and….I just looked at him and said, “STFU, and fix this fucker. Make it do this and don’t add nothing else..” The poor highly educated and good natured young man just looked at me with mouth agape and the other tech just looked at him and said, “See, I told you about Biker Bill. Hey, Biker Bill, is there anything else you need? Great to see a again, sir.”
They loved the drive up here from Pleasanton or from wherever the Company sent them to fix the fucker, make it do this and get rid of this and that, make it do this with one push of a button….and get rid of Google Chrome…
Anyway, that’s how I got through the brave new world of techno. It did not change the way I communicated to anybody, even you. 🙂
Russ was asking around the other day about something wrong with Google or something like that. Who knows? No longer have those highly paid young people run over at my beck and call for free. Oh well.
Resisted Site. Even some Yahoo articles. What I don’t need, I don’t use.
Go.

So they got started “sleeping” her way to the top?
“Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.
And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.”

Now that had to have taken some real consideration and self sacrifice. A REAL deal with the devil. ( and PLENTY of booze and/or drugs.)

Walt. Do you have any idea how much money sitting on those commissions meeting a few times a year? More than some legislators make. And Willy bought her a nice Mercedes too boot…..all the while when Willie was married. Harris was at Ole Willie’s side on more of his campaign stumps than his own wife, lol.
I have read several interviews with Ms. Harris in the past. Straight from the horse’s mouth. The lion’s share of her talking aboutt her life, her upbringing, her childhood, her parents…was about aout her Indian (India)) heritage.
It would be interestingly see if she runs and identifies as a black woman as we get closer to 2020. She already saying the right things as Obama did in 2004. “There are no blue
states, there are no red states, just the United States!” (Insert standing ovation wild applause here.)
Senator Harris, in one of her first interviews since tossing her hat in the ring, said she
does not identify as a Black-American, aa Indian-American, but as a American. Saying all the right things for now. Keeping It vague. Hope and Changey.
A black women iis the top of the pecking order in Identity Politics. With CA moving it’s primary to be the first in the nation, Harris would have 25% off delegates before the race is barely out of the gate. Now, if Harris could somehow make herself gay and disabled on topping being black and woma ,nothing could stop her.

The Union 100 years ago column has a tidbit on immigration. The Government stopped it for four year. I sent a request to Don Rogers for any llinks that he had regarding his response to me that it was a “nativist” movement that pshed the policy. He could not supply one. I said it looked to me the country just out of war and seeing the commies in Russia and the Spanish flu might be the reason.
GeorgeR probably knows.

But keep grasping at those straws.

So it’s just Leftist party before country. Got it.
