  Bwahahahaha! “…You must be bushed,” the president said in a memo…” We have only to conclude that, since the 2006 elections, Rep. Waxman is particularly worn out being judge and jury in his kangaroo-court hearings of perpetual outrage and fishing expeditions.

  Boberin: I believe it can be documented that the Bush “vacations” were of the working variety. It’s important for the Chief Executive of the US to get away from the noxious fumes of the DC swamp for a little perspective.

  August 3rd, 2005…
  The August getaway is Bush’s 49th trip to his cherished ranch since taking office and the 319th day that Bush has spent, entirely or partially, in Crawford

  I couldn’t make this stuff up. It writes itself

• 10 boberinyetagain // Oct 27, 2007 at 9:57 am

  I stand corrected, Reagan has the record, George will before long though…

  “On Thursday, Bush left for a weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine, and his family’s summer compound, Walker’s Point. On Monday, he heads to his Crawford retreat, where he has spent all or part of 418 days of his presidency, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS News White House correspondent and meticulous record-keeper.
  “…The presidential vacation-time record holder is the late Ronald Reagan, who tallied 436 days in his two terms. At 418 days, and with 17 months to go in his presidency, Bush is going to beat that easily.”

  Considering the words of wisdom spewing from the trap of MaDam Boxer lately, it would seem that the Dems need at least 2 days off per week. Actually, do us all a favor, Sir George and disband all the Congressional morons in DC and go monarchy.

• 13 conserve-a-tips // Oct 27, 2007 at 10:41 am

  Boberin, yes, this does have to do with the pot calling the kettle that shade that is not a color, but is rather the absence of light.

  You see, when Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were trying to win the Congress back, they made tacky remarks about the “lazy Republican Congress” that only met 4 days a week and that they would put it back to 5 days a week and get much more done. Well, less has gotten done and their world is not all a bed of roses. It seems that their ‘control issues’ got out of control.

  It would be comical to watch these “Progressive” Bushaphobic tools of their treasonous puppet masters put quotes around an alleged quote without citing the source of the quote as they try so desperately to draw attention away from Democrat ineptitude in Congress if it weren’t so pathetically disgusting.

  Why anyone would want to continually make a fool of themselves (by comparing apples to oranges, regurgitating Soros’s talking points, using strawman arguments and ad hominem, or just ranting with a vile hatred for truth, justice and the American way) is beyond me. Sick and sickening.

  This is my new favorite Scrappleface article!
  Oh, and Boberinyetagain, I would like to see all of our politicians take more time off! Meet when you need to do something. Meeting daily, whether you have something to do or not, means they have to try to think up something that makes it seem as though they are working! Of course that is the main job of gubmint workers anyway (I know. I are one!).

  Look at it this way bober: If the Prez is clearing brush in Crawford, at least he isn’t wiretapping innocent Americans or starting another illegal war or something, right?

  Problem is, with Congress, “doing stuff that looks like work” tends to cost oodles of money but still doesn’t actually do anything good. Ergo, dangerous…

• 19 boberinyetagain // Oct 27, 2007 at 11:14 am

  Sooner or later you folks will understand (it takes people a while to grasp such intricate concepts) that I’m not a Democrat. I despise most people from both parties, believe them all to be whores in the most negative sense possible. I do not believe that many/most have my best interests at heart. How could they? I have no lobbyists on the payroll, I don’t “contribute” to their campaigns. I own no oil fields, no drug company, I’m not even a lawyer.
  Because I think George is doing a bad job doesn’t mean that I’m a fan of Hillary (or any of the others on “that” side) . Folks with such narrow views of things (”my” side is always right, your side is always wrong and this describes many people here) are laughable. It’s impossible to take anyone who thinks like that seriously because it’s painfully obvious that they are not thinking, they are reacting or just believing which can be even worse.
  I vote each and every time even though I’m certain that my vote is “wasted” and I’ll continue to do so. Such is life in the big city.

• 23 Beerme // Oct 27, 2007 at 1:49 pm

  Boberinyetagain,

  I can’t speak for all of the people here (and wouldn’t want to) but, as far as I’m concerned, I never suggested or meant to suggest that you’re a Democrat or that you support Hillary and her ilk. I fully agree with you that both sides are generally reprehensible politicians engaged only to the point of getting elected or re-elected.

  However, what you don’t seem to understand is that many of the posters, here, no more ascribe to the “W is always right” camp than you do to whatever camp you think we believe you belong.

  I see you as a somewhat liberal person who, in-line with most liberals, does most of his thinking with his heart. Emotions can cloud judgment but they do offer a rather romantic allure that is difficult to overcome.

  For what it’s worth, I agree that sometimes debate is rather difficult to find, here. Why look for it? This is a conservative echo-chamber!

  JL3, your name-calling is uncalled for and beneath you. We should all maintain some decorum on this site and calling someone that term is clearly over-the-top. Boberin has been a poster at this site for a long time and he has never indulged in that type of crudery. Dislike his opinions and debate them all you like-or ignore him-but don’t insult him.

You banana belt southerners are sooooooo blessed to have such long stretches of nice weather!! I’m sure the tree hugger greenie, global warming kooks wish all us northerners would just pack up and move south for the winter and not waste all the fossil fuel on silly things like heating our homes….come to think of it….I wish I could pack up and move south for the winter too!!

  Good Sabbath morning, y’all. Ms Rightwing, Ink, we had to leave our church and can’t find another because the liberal Purpose Driven movement has taken over these here parts. Most of our friends have left their churches too. All of us had expressed concern in our various denominations about the distortion of scripture and were basically told that if we couldn’t swallow the kool-aid to leave the party. So we home church. We have a church in the southern part of the state that sends DVD’s of their services each week and the preaching is phenomenal. It is very sad how so many churches have gotten sucked into trying to do God’s work for Him in the name of big numbers.

  It is a gorgeous day here in pioneer country, with sun shining and crisp temperatures outside. Not to make y’all jealous or anything, but I’m picking tomatoes and peppers today for picante sauce. I’m going to plant garlic tomorrow, but am getting ready to turn the rest of the garden to let it rest for the winter.

  Sigh. Ours is such a racist society. And I bet the minority children get more razor blades in their candied apples, too. IS THERE NO JUSTICE?!

• 37 Ms RightWing, Ink // Oct 28, 2007 at 12:22 pm

  The Purpose Driven movement was prepared so pastors could fill the pews, but once the people were there the rest of the message became a spiritual wet wash rag.

  Here in Ohio we have a big problem because of the Appalachian area. The people brought a lot of snake handling (only a picture) spiritual hoopla from the mountains way back when they migrated to Ohio when the factories were built. The congregations are spell bound by the pastor without reading the word to check out the truth. I would expand that thought but I am likely to start another fire, not in California though.

  It is hard to find a church in my town and as far as I am concerned there are zilch.They all drive me nuts

  c.a.t, fear not where ever folks are gathered to worship then that is church, ecclesia (gathered) but then the church has to be diaspora (dispersed) for the sake of equipping (katartizo).

  A well known theologian from years past said katartizo (equipping) implies a journey towards a distant destination. He went on to say that character is not formed quickly and rarely by taking courses.

  To me, the expectations of a purpose driven church is to gather, get fed and disperse to whatever calling God puts onto your life whether great or small.

  Ephesians 4:12

  “…to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”

  Prepare (equip) katartismos is a noun used only once in the scripture (above) and has a medical use in New Testament Greek and that was putting one bone into the right relationship with the rest of the body so every part fits firmly.

  So whether you meet in a large congregation or better yet, a smaller one, the purpose driven church is not about creature comfort, though that is nice, but about leaving the comfort zone to build and equip what truly is the church-God’s people.

  And so ends my sermon for today.

• 38 Darthmeister // Oct 28, 2007 at 12:30 pm

  bober accuses us of the very thing he accuses us of doing. Notice I don’t call bober a “Democrat” but rather refer to him as “being on the other side of the aisle.”

  Now bober can paint himself as some high-minded independent which places him in a very unique position to roundly condemn Bush, us, the Democrats, other “independent thinkers” who don’t subscribe to his unique world view. I think people like that were called anarchists at one time - they belong to no group, march to no tune, have no allegiances but to themselves, and are a general pain in the butt because all they can do is criticize EVERYONE ELSE but never have any answers themselves. They can do it better than anyone else, they can think better than anyone else and they smell better than anyone elses.

  People like bober fear attaching themselves to any truly noble cause against evildoers for fear it may fail or band with any group of flawed people who are trying to bring about substantive solutions to very real problems in this world because in doing so would put a big fat target on their backs and they have a hard enough time defending their own insanity much less taking some responsibility for the statements and actions of others in their own group.

  bober has spent far more time (by a factor of ten, I would say) lampooning people on our side of the isle which, despite his vigorous remonstrations to the contrary, puts him in the same league with far-rightwing anarchists like David Duke, conspiracy kooks who rail about a vast right-wing conspiracy, the radical leftists (which is now the mainstream of the liberal Democratic Party) and Islamofascists. I count it an honor to be villified by the likes of Islamofascists, liberal socialists and bober because however imperfectly our conservative American vision may be implemented, at least it proves we’re on the right track. I mean, when one finds himself having more in common with Usama bin Laden and far left lunatics than with the traditional and conservative salt-of-the-earth who have made this nation into the greatest and last bastion of freedom on the planet, you would think that would cause that persistent critic question his own worldview and allegiances.

  But leave it to bober to join an army of one … himself.

  BTW, I count myself as an independent voter too, being very critical of Bush’s domestic policies and making no bones about it here. But I don’t allow my independence blind me to who the real nutbags are in the culture and political civil war in which we Americans are presently engaged. As hypocritical and flawed as Republicans may be from time to time, at least they haven’t put party before country the way Democrats have done the last twenty years. Today’s Democrats will do ANYTHING to regain the monopolistic power they one had under JFK and LBJ. Their patriotism is not in America the way she is but rather in an America that can never be - a utopia.

• 39 conserve-a-tips // Oct 28, 2007 at 1:58 pm

  Ms Rightwing, Ink: Very well stated in #37 - I must make a comment, however, about those Appalacian’s bringing you the snakehandlers. Coming from those Appalacian Mountains myself, and then having moved to Oklahoma, I can assure you that the rattlesnake festivals out here beat anything that those churches tried to conjure up. These people out here rounding up rattlesnakes are just plain nuts!!!

  I don’t know if you ever heard of Windy Bagwell, but he was a humorist who tells a story about doing the work of a traveling singer/evangelist in those “Apalacian” parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, NC, etc. He and his wife went to a little church to sing and preach and as he tells it, from the back of the room some men started bringing forward some boxes. They set the boxes on the stage and opened the lids and as Windy saw the snakes in the boxes he let out a yelp and jumped backwards. Some lady yells, “He’s got the spirit! Give him one!” Windy turns to his wife and says, “Be looking for a back door.” His wife says that she already has and that there isn’t one. “Well, reckon where they want one,” he quips. I have the tape of the story and it is pretty funny.

  Well stated, Darth. The saddest thing about Bob imnsho, is he doesn’t believe anything is worth fighting for. I know he doesn’t love this country enough to fight for it! I wonder if he’d even fight for his family?! He is a sad excuse for a man….and I don’t mean that in a mean way….I just find it pitiful that someone has so little faith in his God, his country and mankind that all he can do is whine and complain and point out the flaws in others. I think of Bob as the same sort of effete, snobbish east coast lib as Jon Kerry! Countless folk worldwide are still willing to risk their lives to come here…legally or illegally! Sadly any one of them appreciates our wonderful way of life more than the “boberins”.

• 41 Ms RightWing, Ink // Oct 28, 2007 at 3:47 pm

  re:39

  I only used the snake handling as a picture, so to speak. I didn’t want readers to think I meant a literal snake handling service, though it still exists today, but rarely.

  What I meant to say is there are certain things, or ideas about things, brought up to Ohio that I never dealt with out west or in Minnesota, that is a strong belief up here.

  The Bible Answer Man addressed the subject from time to time and one church I loved was steeped in the tradition that I got tired of arguing the point. They never held to that ttradition until one man joined the church who had been to nearly every church in the area. When he convinced the pastor, well, it changed everything and it was believe as I do or go. I went.

  I am not going to tell the people they are wrong about the doctrine, but ample proof exist that it is bogus. Will anybody burn through out eternity for their belief, or disbelief? I think not, so therefore I will leave it alone.

• 42 conserve-a-tips // Oct 28, 2007 at 4:04 pm

  Ms Rightwing, Ink: I was just playing with you. No offense was taken at all. I’ve been to those “snake handlin’ ” churches and they really do it! The mountains of Tennessee still have them.

  As far as your experience, been there and done that. We finally decided that if they wanted to depend on man’s doctrine rather than scriptural truth, then we could just step out of the way.

• 43 Darthmeister // Oct 28, 2007 at 6:11 pm

  upnorth,

  It’s interesting how know-it-all “progressives” like bober just can’t bring themselves to actually DO anything about the wrongs they see. They criticize everyone else who is trying to do something or those supporting those who are trying to make a difference. The idea it’s far better to have tried and failed then not to have tried at all does not exist in his utopian universe of 20/20 hindsight.

  The war against jihadism is one such case. Always critical because it’s been a hard fight and results didn’t happen yesterday, but then never having an actionable idea himself about how to go about defanging Islamofascists in a better and different way without sounding like another Neville Chamberlain. We do our country a great disservice by not acquiescing to such a bober- fount of wisdom here at Scrappleface!

  Given the clarity of vision bober believes himself to possess, I can’t understand why he doesn’t better serve his country by at least running for some political office at the national level … maybe even the presidency itself! I mean, he not only owes it to himself but also to his country to run for President. With him it was stupid Bush, stupid Romney, stupid Guiliani and now we’re supposed to believe it’s stupid Hillary and stupid Obama. You see, they’re all wrong and we’re all wrong!

  Clearly this country needs someone like bober who is as clear thinking to be enshrined in at least the Senate if not the White House - and he’s a Lone Ranger to boot! Only then can we sleep more soundly at night … but wait, wasn’t Hilter marching to his own drummer, too? Never mind, such great wisdom and intellect shouldn’t go to waste on some backwater blog like this? Maybe we’re his dry run for the presidency, he’s certainly tenacious enough. bober comes back here often enough to remind us of the “fact” of our utter stupidity for not seeing things his way. And after having witnessed our moral and intellectual turpitude he has taken it upon himself to continue his visits to our little anthill to regale us with the BOBER TRUTH … a veritable Oracle of Delphi he. We really should cherish such wisdom which comes down from on high though it’s often wisdom ripped from the pages of some radical left-wing blog but with a twist.

  However, being the mere peasant that I am who has long borne the pitchfork against such “progressive enlightenment” , I’m beginning to view bober’s visits to Scrappleface like that of a neighborhood busybody who believes has has been commissioned by some higher power to kick in his neighbor’s door to regale the poor man about how unenlightened he is and how he is doing everything wrong despite the fact the neighbor lives in a nicer home, has a prettier wife, and is more faithful to the prevailing traditions and culture which made the community so successful in the first place! But then, the busybody “reasons”, the neighbor got that way on the backs of the poor, aided and abetted by secret payoffs from evil multi-national corporations and his marriage was arranged by rich Jewish bankers who have bankrolled an evil and immoral war against Muslim freedom fighters who only wanted to live in peace with infidels in the first place.

  You see, radical Muslims are the way they are because WE MADE THEM THAT WAY! The neighborhood thief is the way he is because of the existence of economic disparity in the community and the individual neighbor’s unwillingness to share their ill gotten gain with the have-nots … like the thief. So why fight terrorism (which is only a bumpersticker slogan according to one John Edwards) when anything we do creates more terrorists? In that light, anything we say in support of the war on terror is sheer insanity and we would better serve humanity by committing corporate suicide so that peace may guide the planets and love steer the stars. To the liberal “progressive” and Islamists alike, peace is the absence of resistance to their ideology.

  Very intresting, the IslsmoNazis have thought and believed for a very long time that they were “THE RELIGION” of the world (and for a few hundred years were quite confident in their ‘rightness’.)

  Now however, they are running scared as the World’s New Religion is overtaking and replacing them, all the while there is nothing they can do about it!

  Worldwide, countries are bowing to this new religion which possesses all of the earmarks of a true religion. Billions of dollars are being invested to establish the Religion of “Manmade Global Waming” and its Prophet Algore (Winner of The Nobel Peace Prize), reversing the activities of the Sun is their stated sermon and their adherents are as avid and fanatical in spreading their gospel as any TV Evangelist.

  Unlike the Scientologists, Mormons, Muslims and the various assorted religions; Christianity is untouched, being the antithesis of religion. But “Manmade Global Warming” is rapidly becoming the Government sponsored religion of America in violation of our Constitution. I believe that Prophet Algore will answer to God for this religious hoax, which demands 100% total control of every aspect of human activity.

  Re #45: Funny you should write this, Fred. This morning, the preacher was saying that God gave man complete dominion over the earth to take care of it and to use it wisely. Now he doesn’t ascribe to the theory of global warming and so the squirrels in my little brain were trying to digest his teaching and the fact that I knew that liberals would jump in with both feet and say, “Ah Ha! See? We haven’t taken care of what we have been entrusted with and now see what happens?”

  God gave me a revelation and it was this - that He did entrust us with taking care of the earth and all that is on it and in it. That means that if our air quality goes down because we have not been careful about pollution, that is our fault. And if ground becomes barren because we have not tilled it and sowed it in a fashion that encourages healthy ground, then that is our fault. But God did not entrust us with the forces of the universe and so if the temperature gets hotter or there are deadly hurricanes or deep freeze temperatures or earthquakes, and etc., man is given a wake-up call each time to remind him that he is not in control of the physical forces and never will be - that there is God and He demands total obedience and honor.

  We’re like a bunch of teenagers who have been given the grown-up responsibility of driving our siblings to school, but when the car engine dies on the way, think that if we had just sat closer to the steering wheel, or had the radio on quieter or had just washed the car more often, the engine would still be going.
