My Buddy Grace

Filed under: Personal,Politics — don @ 1:31 pm

Grace Davis is a very nice lady who has a fairly popular blog. She has done a ton of good stuff and cares for her fellow man. During Katrina she set up a web site where people could help the victims. She’s a really great lady.

Here’s the rub. She’s a Liberal. Yes, I know, how could Don ever like a Liberal. Well, truth be told Don has 5 daughters/stepdaughters and every one of them except 1 plans to vote for Obama. In spite of that misguided and clueless behavior I still love every one of them and that’s how I can like Grace.

Grace has always been a staunch supporter of all things Liberal but lately she’s done something that surprises me. She decided she was going to delete any comments from her blog that don’t jive with her love of Obama. In her latest post she says of anyone who disagrees with her the following:

“I wish to inform you Haters and Doubters that I will be deleting your Hating and Doubting comments on my blog, should you deign to post such remarks.”

This seems to me to be exactly what the Liberals accuse the Republicans of doing. I keep hearing how Liberals are so open to ideas and how Conservatives are strict and closed and “haters” and will step on any rights you think you have.

Well Grace, here’s one Conservative who doesn’t care if people from the opposing side post on my blog. If you post words that I prefer my reading audience not see I will probably edit that but I won’t change your fundamental ideas. But I will allow anyone’s ideas, no matter how stupid, to exist in my comments.

I love Illegals

Issue: Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff called then-Gov. Elliot Spitzer in October 2007, warning his plan to grant driver’s licenses to illegals would undermine federal plans to enhance security. Spitzer withdrew the plan two weeks later.

Issue: During the Democratic presidential debate held in Las Vegas in November 2007, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Obama if he supported driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants. Obama answered: "Yes."

[Source: Debate transcript, Nov. 15, 2007, Las Vegas]

Issue: Obama also addressed the licensing of illegals during the October 2007 debate. Asked if he favored Spitzer’s plan, Obama replied: "I think that it is the right idea. And I disagree with [Sen.] Chris [Dodd], because there is a public safety concern. We can make sure that drivers who are illegal come out of the shadows, that they can be tracked, that they are properly trained, and that will make our roads safer. That doesn’t negate the need for us to reform illegal immigration."

Issue: The 19 terrorists involved in 9/11 obtained 13 driver’s licenses, as well as 21 federal or state-issued ID cards. Eight of the 9/11 terrorists were registered to vote.

Issue: The day Gov. Spitzer withdrew his driver’s license plan, Clinton released this statement: "I support Governor Spitzer’s decision today to withdraw his proposal. His difficult job is made that much harder by the failure of the Congress and the White House to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

"As president, I will not support driver’s licenses for undocumented people, and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration including border security and fixing our broken system."

[Source: Hillary Clinton statement dated Nov. 14, 2007]

Issue: A full 77 percent of American adults oppose granting driver’s licenses to people who are in the United States illegally.

[Source: Rasmussen Reports, national telephone survey, November 2007]

Issue: There are 203 million licensed drivers in America, according to the Federal Highway Administration. Approximately 1 in 5 fatal car accidents involves a driver who, for whatever reason, does not have a valid driver’s license.

by Michael Crowley, Readers Digest, September 2008]

Issue: Sen. John McCain’s online policy statements do not specifically address driver’s licenses for illegals. McCain is on record, however, opposing any benefits for those who "have come here illegally and broke our laws."

In one speech he pledged, "It would be among my highest priorities to secure our borders first, and only after we achieved widespread consensus that our borders are secure, would we address other aspects of the problem in a way that defends the rule of law and does not encourage another wave of illegal immigration."

[Source: Feb. 7, 2008 speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC]

Issue: In February, Obama told ABC’s David Muir, "If [McCain] wants to try to parse out this one issue of driver’s licenses, an issue of public safety, my response is that we have to solve the overall problem and this driver’s license issue is a distraction."

[Source: "Obama Defends Illegals’ Driver’s Licenses," ABC.com]

Issue: When he served as a member of the Illinois state Senate, Obama voted to train, insure, and license illegals to operate motor vehicles in order to "protect public safety."

Spread WHAT around?

Filed under: Politics — don @ 12:39 pm

Ok, here’s a video showing Obama saying what I’ve been saying that he’s been saying all along. If these aren’t the words of a Socialist then I don’t know what Socialism means.

I’m waiting for Daryl to factcheck this one. 😉

I agree with Hillary

Filed under: Politics — don @ 12:48 pm

Hillary is going around saying “jobs, baby, jobs” in response to the Republican chant, “drill, baby, drill”. I couldn’t agree with her more, and the best way to get those jobs going is to drill, baby, drill.
