THE AUDACITY OF ARROGANCE

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Thursday, July 31, 2008 12:47:05 PM
 
Have you noticed that the usual arrogance of the left seems to be exploding recently? Here are just a few examples:
 
- The Dem led Congress recently sunk to 9% approval, it is still only in the teens. The Pelosi/Reid agenda they hyped two years ago and were going to pass in 100 days is no where to be seen, yet Nancy Pelosi has the audacity to declare that BUSH is a complete failure.
 
- Barack Obama goes on Tour of Europe basking in the adulation of the MSM and European Socialists. He acted as if he were already President, like this election should just go away fast so he can begin uniting the wold.
 
-Nancy Pelosi announced she is trying to save the planet.
 
-America is being invaded daily by illegals, and Obama says we need to learn Spanish!
 
-More than 75 % of Americans want off shore drilling and drilling in ANWR. Nancy/Harry refuse to let bills come to a vote, THEY know better.
 
- Obama's Plan for lowering oil prices? None. His plan to increase oil supply?? Windmills and conservation. and today he gave us his greatest proposal, inflate our tires!!!
 
-The left declares Global warming to be real, to be caused by humans, and that the case is closed, no debate, and if you doubt you are some kind of fool. Yet Al Gore continues traveling the world in Jets, pontificating how average folk need to conserve and we can not drill or build nuclear plants.
 
-Obama talked of average Americans clining to our guns and Religion.
 
These are just a few examples. There are many many others, and McCain and the RNC must keep reminding all of us every chance they get. I am glad to see McCain's campaign showing signs of waking up. Mac appears ready to take the gloves off. GOOD! Its about time. Keep hitting Obama on his inexperience, He and the Dem Congress for not supporting off shore drilling, Obama's plans to raise taxes when Americans are loosing their homes and can not afford to drive to work.
 
The Audacity of the Democrats Arrogance is so high that I am hoping by now most Americans are seeing them for what they are. MacCain needs to pick a Veep capable of clearly and forcefuly exposing Obama and Congress for their far left agenda that if actually enacted, will take this nation many years to recover from.

FANTASY - OBAMA ON THE FACTOR

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Sunday, July 27, 2008 9:17:55 AM
I had this dream last night (I need to get a life, don't I?) and in the dream Barack Obama has agreed to be on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. It went something like this:
 
O"Reilly: Tonight We have for the entire hour, Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democrat mominee for President.The Senator has been described by his supportors and Media types like  Chris Mathews as one of the great communicators and orators of our time, so I look forward to hearing his un-scripted, un-rehearsed response to my questions which he has not been given in advance. Senator, welcome to The Factor.
 
Obama : Uh  , er...duh..ummm...ah
 
O'Reilly : OK! Well, lets get to something a little less complicated. You have based your campaign on two themes, Hope and Change. Just what do you mean, what is this hope and change?? I don't get it.
 
Obama: UM  Well, you know, Bill, Its really, like you know, ..easy. If ya have enough hope it will, er, lead like, tuh ,well, change.. My supporters in the primaries understood, ya know, um...this.
 
O'Reilly: What kind of answer is that? This IS the no spin zone! Lets get more specific here, ok, Senator?
 
Obama : Duh sure, Bill, I intend tuh.
 
O'Reilly: Lets get to something I know is on the minds of The Factor viewers. Can you tell us why, even after going to Iraq, you can't say at least that the surge has worked?
 
Obama: Er..um,,well..As I have said many times.. duh...that the surge could not work and would not  um  like reduce the, er  violence....
 
O'Reilly, interrupting: Wait! Any one can tell the surge worked, General Petreus was brilliant!! Everyone knows what a great job our t troops have done this past year..
 
Obama :  Duh, Um thats right, er Bill, um..the troops, we all like, support the troops, and um thats why I want them , you know, ah, like, out..
 
O'Reilly: Senator, you have said NOTHING so far, what gives? The folk deserve answers from someone who may be the next President!
              I want answers here, Senator.
 
Obama :  Umm , well Bill, I won't sit here and be subject to these attacks!. Er...ah..you people at Fox, you know..you..um.you twist things..like..
 
O'Reilly: OK! Thats it!.. Who booked this Clown? Senator, we're going to wrap this up. Say Good Night to the folks, Senator.
 
Obama :  Ah....Er..
 
O'Reilly : Geeeezz!!!!

MCCAIN TIES OBAMA - THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Thursday, July 24, 2008 9:52:56 PM
The Fox News Opinion Dynamics Poll Today shows McCain moving into a statistical dead heat with Barak, I am a citizen of the world, Obama. This inspite of over a week of solid coverage by the three formerly legitimate news organization's mouth pieces and hundreds of other reporters, camera crews, photogs.
 
I keep reading that sentence over and over, it doesn't compute.Obama came off a stunning primary victory over Hillary Clinton, who had been declared the presumptive nominee before the primaries even started. The public is tiring of or outright against six years of war in a
place no ome gives a damn about. And still, McCain pulls to a dead heat. Health Insurance is sky high, oil prices are out of control, homes are foreclosing and those that aren't have dropped in value. And McCain has pulled to a dead heat. For eight years Democrats have blamed George Bush for everything from lying to get us into Iraq to Global warming, they say McCain is running for Bush's third term yet - McCain moves into a dead heat.
 
I don't understand - Obama is touted as the greatest orator in history, McCain puts you to sleep when he speaks. I majored in Political Science. I have been a political junkie since high school in the 60's. I don't get it! There is something going on, under the surface that I am missing. IS McCain THAT good? I don't think so. Has Obama made major gaffes?? yes, some but thats not it.
 
Maybe - just maybe its the American people? Could it be they are more astute then the media and the Democrat party gives them credit for? Could it be they see past the pomp, the hype, the fawning, the empty words? Can it be they see in John McCain a man of principal, a man toughened  by service to his country in the hell hole of Hanoi? Can it be the American people know he does get it re the danger of Islamo Fascism? That while they may be tired of the war they don;t want us to loose it?
 
I hope this is right but I still sense something is going on here that I am missing. Any one have any ideas? I really want to know what I am missing. One thing I know, this will go down as a very extraordinary election. Hold on to your hats I suspect we ain't seen nothin yet!!

NEWS ALERT! FOX POLL SHOWS MCCAIN CLOSING

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Thursday, July 24, 2008 1:57:02 PM
 Per just released Fox News Poll :
 
The significant news coverage Barack Obama is receiving on his foreign trip has not translated into a bounce in his numbers, a just-released FOX News poll shows. Obama now holds the slimmest possible edge over John McCain, leading by just 41 percent - 40 percent in a head-to-head contest. In fact, Obama’s support is down slightly from his 45 percent - 41 percent advantage last month.
 
Despite all the coverage all the media bias , all the fawning over the messiah - McCain STILL has a great shot at this. He and the RNC and all of us need to keep up the pressure on Obama, keep showing the emptiness of his words - the No there , there. American;  's seem not to be buying the Obama hype espite the best efforts of the media

Gov. Crist's reply Oil Revenue Proposal

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Monday, July 21, 2008 7:37:03 PM
 
Cov. Crist's office turns out to be no different than the Democrats on off shore oil drilling. I really didnt expect him to embrace my proposal  per my post here  on July 16th,  but it would have been nice if   he said we will take it under consideration. Instead , below is their reply, same old alternative energy B.S,  Biomass, wind etc etc :
 
  ----- Original Message -----

From: Governor Charlie Crist

To: Kevin Herrick

Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 9:31 AM

Subject: RE: Offshore drilling SOLUTIONS

Thank you for writing and sharing your comments on the recent discussions concerning oil drilling off the coast of Florida. The Governor wants to know how people feel about the many critical issues we face and asked that I respond on his behalf.

Most will agree that Florida has one of the world’s most unique environments that must be carefully protected. The state and national economy also need protection. With that in mind, the Governor believes that both our environment and the economy must be part of the conversation.

While that conversation must include domestically produced fuels, Governor Crist is committed to seeking innovative ways to meet Florida’s growing energy needs while reducing the emission of greenhouse gas. For example, the Governor's administration has worked with and supported efforts by Progress Energy to purchase energy from a large biomass facility. In addition, Governor Crist is encouraged by Florida Power and Light’s enhanced commitment to solar energy.

The Governor's commitment to enhancing the use of renewable fuels such as solar and wind power is exemplified in the energy legislation signed on June 25. This bill commits Florida to greater fuel diversity and the use of alternative and renewable fuels as part of an overall mission to reduce dependence on foreign oil. House Bill 7135 was passed unanimously by both houses of the Florida Legislature. Further details can be found at: http://www.flgov.com/release/9998

For more information, I encourage you to view the Department of Environmental Protection’s energy Web site at www.dep.state.fl.us/energy

Thank you again for contacting Governor Charlie Crist. The Governor understands the affect that high fuel costs have on Florida’s families, and wants to make sure that all possible solutions are given proper consideration. For information about Governor Crist’s administration and initiatives, please view the Governor's web site at www.flgov.com.

Sincerely,

Willem J. de Greef

These politicians of both parties need to see that the American people are serious when we say DRILL, DRILL NOW, DRILL WHEREVER will benefit our nation!!!

OBAMA-FOR THE SURGE SUCCEEDING AFTER HE WAS AGAINST IT

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Monday, July 21, 2008 4:23:36 PM
 
Today B. Huessein Obama met with Iraqi President Al Maliki. The very fact he is even there is as a response to McCain humiliating his lack of direct on the ground experience in Iraq. Obama Said at the start of the Surge that it could not succeed in bringing down the violence and we needed to begin then the withdrawl of our troops.
 
Fast forward 18 months, Obama is in Iraq, The surge has succeeded even better than we had hoped. Bush administration and some generals last week have begun to hint at stepped up withdrawls starting this fall. Obama's staff has purged his web site of criticism of the surge.
 
It appears that Obama, on his Majic Mystery Tour, will attempt to cash in on the success he so desperately hoped would not happen. Like Kerry who voted for the $80 billion for the Iraq war before he voted against it, our Savior, Barak the all knowing, will now claim he was right all along to propose a 16 month time table for withdrawl. IF we begin to pull out this fall It will be BECAUSE the surge succeeded , bcause John McCain fought for it. Republicans must not let the Liberal revisionists re-write the history on this. If Obama had had his way his inexperience and bad judgement would have had us out of Iraq already, in defeat and having to go back in at some point.

APROPOSAL FOR OFF SHORE OIL REVENUE

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:53:07 PM
 
I have an idea on how Florida and other Gulf coast states can benefit from off shore drilling. I have sent this proposal to FL. Gov. Charlie Crist.
 
Florida would get revenue from the oil industry for drilling off our coasts. Part of that revenue would be used by the State for beach up keep AND purchase and development of more public beach land along the gulf. The other half of the state's share of oil revenue would be put in a fund for storm insurance relief and or subsidy for our residents. Perhaps the other Gulf States could pool together and create a Gulf Coast Storm insurance fund. The environment benefits by increasing maintainence of existing beaches and by adding additional beach to the State park system instead of condo developers destroying it. Residents benefit by getting badly needed assistance to lower high home insurance rates. Perhaps this would sway more residents of Florida and elsewhere to support off shore drilling in the gulf. America would be the real winner as oil prices would lower and more importantly we could end our dependance on countries who hate us.  As a resident of Florida I am fully aware of the need to take care of our environment and the importance of the tourism industry. HOWEVER. as gas prices continue out of control, there no one wil be able to afford to fly or drive to Florida. The affects of such a decline would be catastrophic.

ONE FLORIDIAN WHO SAYS DRILL NOW!!!!

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 7:37:08 PM
   Congress's inaction on offshore oil drilling is a National disgrace. When John McCain announced his support for offshore drilling, Barack Obama called for a windfall profit tax!. The following quote is on Fl Sen. Bill Nelson's web site today :
 
        " Senator Nelson, along with Senator Mel Martinez, has introduced legislation that will permanently protect Florida from the threat of offshore drilling. By providing a long-term guarantee to keep oil and gas rigs at least 260 miles off Tampa Bay, this bipartisan legislation safeguards Florida's unique environment, the state's tourism-dependent economy and the nation's essential military training ranges in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. This move by Senators Nelson and Martinez is receiving praise from key members of Florida's congressional delegation, as well as from consumer and environmental organizations. A staunch defender of Florida's coastline in the past, Senator Nelson has been at the forefront of previous efforts that successfully blocked attempts to open the eastern Gulf to drilling."
 
Two hundred sixty miles. We need to drill 25-50 miles off shore to make the most of the oil available in the shortest time possible while making sure the latest technology is used to make the drilling as safe on the environment as possible. The Democrat controled Congress has sold out to the far left who pretend to be environmentalists but are really out to see the American economy go in the tank. They say we must scale back our expectations and accept high gas prices. Sounds like Jimmy Carter all over again.
 
 John McCain and the Republican leadership (such as it is) must make this issue our own. Keep out ahead of the Dems on it. THe American people are on our side. And we all must do what we did for illegal immigration bill, flood them with calls, letters and emails. This Congress has no spine they will cave in

WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVENT

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Saturday, July 12, 2008 2:28:33 PM
Tony Snow brought together the best of Journalism and Politics. With his passing both have been dimmed a little. He embodied the word Class.We can all learn from not only how he lived but also how he died.
 
Many words will be spoken and written  about hin in the next few days, but the most important are those I am positive he heard this very morning when he was welcomed by his Lord. " WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVENT."

Dems lead Congress where no Congress has ever been

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Thursday, July 10, 2008 1:22:20 AM
   Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have managed to make history in just two years! Under their leadership and direction they have led Congress to depths of patheticness never before seen. Even Democrats are jumping ship, their approval of their Congress falling to 13 percent. Way to go guys!! 9 BIG ones!! 9 percent!!  Can you believe it?
  
   I am sure the Liberal spin mongers are already out telling how it is Republicans fault. No matter Democrats control both Houses, OH NO it is the Republicans fault. But we know... and McCain and Republican leaders need to spred out over the country and tell any reporter, and radio show, any TV show they can get on that the Party that brought us the worst Congress ever can NOT be allowed to control all three branches of government! Obama and the Dem leaders are giving McCain and Congressional candidates big presents almost weekly. They must not miss the opportunities they have been given.
 
   Republicans can force the Dems to be on the defensive. They should hold press conferences every day on the steps of the Capitol. We are on the side of the majority of Americans on off shore and Alaska oil drilling while Obama's solution to the the oil crisis was to call for a windfall profits tax on oil companies which would raise prices even higher. What does the Dem Congress do? NOTHING.Our country's boarders are violated daily by illegals - Obama calls on Americans to learn Spanish!!!!! His war policy changes weekly, soon he will claim he was for winning in Iraq before he was against it!! We are finding out the Great and powerful Obama is truly just the man behind the curtain. There is no there there.

AN OPEN LETTER TO JOHN MCCAIN

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 4:55:42 PM
Dear John,

WAKE UP!!!!!!! WAKE UP!  Its July 7th and we only got four months till election day! I see at last you are begining to stir from your slumber with your economic plan, I haven’t decided what I think of it but at least it is SOMETHING!! I do not mean this letter to be negative so let me start with the positives I like about you.

  1. You have over 30 years of first class experience
  2. Your war on terror credentials are impecable
  3. You work with the other side to compromise and move legislation (This at times is also a negative)
  4. Your conservative voting record in Senate is over 86% this could be better but hey I don’t knock it!
  5. You are pro life
  6. You will appoint judges who will NOT legislate from the bench
  7. You are NOT Barak Obama…BIG, BIG plus!!!!!!!!

            I will stop here, don’t want you to drift off again and think you got this won.

I respectfully wish to bring up a few points of contention.

  1. What the hey were you doing in Columbia instead of Columbus Ohio or any place with electoral votes?
  2. I liked your remark that Obama looks like he is running for Jimmy Carter’s second term! Use this often!! Especially now with the high gas and oil prices hurting the average American and some media types indicating our best days are over. Sounds like 1978 all over again. Keep reminding us of this. You don't repeat good points enough.
  3. You appear to have been sleepwalking since the primary ended. It will do no good to hit your stride in ...DECEMBER!
  4. SHOW some OOMPH! Some ENERGY
  5. Pick a VP who can speak and keep a crowd awake
  6. Pick a CONSERVATIVE VP
  7. Talk to Rush and Sean and Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved and Laura Ingram and also LISTEN to them. You will have to work with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, (God help you) Surly then you can talk to Rush!!??

I will end for now. I hope you are awake now… I will be watching and, just one more thing: 

Good Luck, John

Kevin Herrick
Florida (LOTS of votes here)

I AM OFFENDED BY THOSE WHO ARE OFFENDED!!!

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Sunday, July 06, 2008 9:07:53 PM
 
 
Liberals have found two insidious ways to circumvent our Constitutional Rights. The first is  by appointing judges who legislate from the bench laws they and the left wing know most Americans would never allow their elected representatives pass. This method requires its own post another day.
 
The second way liberals have circumvented our Constitutional Rights such as Freedom of Speech and Religion is even more insidious. It
preys upon American's desire for fairness and justice and caring for the feelings of others, all nobel and decent attributes. Any position opposite of the Democrat Party's position creates VICTIMS!!  and these victims become... OFFENDED!! How dare Conservatives believe in school prayer. How dare we belive we have the RIGHT to public display of our religious faith be it in school or anywhere else.
Don't we know we are offending Atheists and Agnostics?? How can we be so cruel to insist our Nation was founded on Judeo-Christian
tradition. How dare we belive in a babys RIGHT TO LIFE!!
 
Here are just a couple of recent examples of the rights of the majority being trumped by the so called offended:\
 
Last week a police department caused outrage in a Muslim community in an American community by having the un-mittigated gall of putting the picture of a.... should I even say it???  of a ....PUPPY on a card they were handing out and posting in shops etc!!  A PUPPY PEOPLE!!!!  
 
Here's another, A community announced they were canceling this year's Little League All Star Game...Why??  because kids who did NOT make the All Star Teams would be , you got it!!! OFFENDED!!
 
Prisoners in Gitmo were offended until we had to provide the trappings of their religious needs, customs and dietary preferences. These terrorists come from countrys where your and my religious practices and beliefs are cause for torture, imprisonment or death..
 
In many cases we have become so affraid of offending any one that we become willing to sacrifice freedoms we have always had, but freedoms willingly given up are freedoms lost forever!!
 
I am OFFENDED by these so called offended  "victims" . I am offended by those who feel the majority in this Great Country are fools "clinging to their guns and religion" as Barak Obama put it.
 
In my first Post I said I want My View From The Right to be a Blog that was not just for complaining but to discuss solutions also. In another post I will try to present a few possible ways to begin to change the insanity of political correctness. In the meantime Any one have any ideas?

Welcome to My corner of the vast right wing conspiracy!

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Saturday, July 05, 2008 11:39:16 AM

   

So now I have a place to sound off!  Big deal, huh??  Well it IS a big deal! Conservitives need all the voices we can muster. Liberals will be throwing everything including the kitchen sink at us through out this election year.
Its already begun, look what we as a nation face:
 
  • The war on terror and Islamo-Fascism
  • Rising energy costs
  • Political correctness run amock
  • Judges legislating from the bench
  • Decaying morals
  • Al Gore and the Global warming SHAM
  • The Media 
  • Did I mention AL GORE????
I can go on and on and will in future posts. I want My View From The Right to be a Blog that does not just complain but discusses what can and should be done about these and other topics facing our Country AND in fact our civilization!
 
Feel free to post your views and since I am a lousy writer I welcome anyone who would like to contribute to My View From the Right  regularly. Just be topical, non slanderous and truly interested in getting the Conservitive message out.
 
Hope Y'All are having a Great July 4th week end!  The best from Sunny Florida!
 
Kevin
