Ryan inquired about White House social secretary Desiree Rogers’ role at the recent state dinner – site of Tareq and Michaele Salahi’s party crashing.

April Ryan brought up whispers around Washington that Rogers had overstepped her role at the event, among other observations Robert Gibbs rolled his eyes at.

Growing frustrated by what he felt was Ryan’s rudeness, Gibbs spoke as though she were a bratty child, talking down at her to “calm down” and “take a deep breath.”

He then added: “I do this with my son and that’s what happens.”

As the press corps issued a collective “oooooh” at Gibbs’ close-to-or-over-the-line insult, the far-from-pleased April Ryan shot back: “Don’t play with me!”

this story is a few months old but I just came across the video and thought I would share.

Have you read this is an email thats been circulating….

At a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country’s prior actions, here’s a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.

JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaule decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaule said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?”

DeGuale did not respond.

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ‘empire building’ by George Bush.

He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not
return..”

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to
shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to
feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?”

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S.., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.

At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”

The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”

“Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!”

The American seniorgave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore atOmaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen
to show a passport to.”

Today at Swann Auction Galleries in New York the winning bid was $34,000.00

The auction is still in progress and includes 392 lots. The poster was put up for an initial minimum bid of $4,000 and an estimated value of $8,000 to $10,000.

Memphis collector Larry Moss tried to purchase but finally relented at the $20,000.00 mark.

The price quickly rose. “I chased it way on up there, but I got whupped,” said Moss, who said he dropped out shortly after bidding hit the $20,000 range. “I went considerably higher than I meant to and still was not in the hunt.” Moss said bidding for most auction items was in the estimated range. “That poster was far and away the highest priced piece in the auction.”

If government spending brought prosperity then shouldn’t we all be millionaires by now?

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president.

Abraham Lincoln successfully led America through the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. He was an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year.

His tenure in office was occupied primarily with the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Six days after the surrender of Confederate forces under General Robert E. Lee, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.

The Republican Party was founded by anti-slavery activists in 1854.

Early Republican ideology was reflected in the 1856 slogan free labor, free land, free men. “Free labor” referred to the Republican belief in a mobile middle class that left the workforce and set up small businesses. “Free land” referred to Republican efforts to facilitate this spirit of entrepreneurship by giving away government owned land. The Party hoped that this rapid growth would help check, and eventually end slavery.

Abraham Lincoln received the Republican nomination in 1860 and subsequently won the presidency. In the election of 1864 a majority of Republicans united with pro-war Democrats to nominate Lincoln to the National Union Party ticket.

The party’s founding members chose the name “Republican Party” in the mid-1850s in part as an homage to Thomas Jefferson. The name echoed the 1776 republican values of civic virtue and opposition to aristocracy and corruption.

Republicans emphasize the role of free markets and individual achievement as the primary factors behind economic prosperity. To this end, they promote personal responsibility over welfare programs.

A leading economic theory advocated by modern Republicans is supply-side economics. Some fiscal policies influenced by this theory were popularly known as “Reaganomics,” a term popularized during the Presidential administrations of Ronald Reagan. This theory holds that reduced income tax rates increase GDP growth and thereby generate the same or more revenue for the government from the smaller tax on the extra growth.

Remember the good ole days when you rode around in the old but reliable clunker? It wasn’t much but it got you from point A to point B and it was paid for. It was yours and no one could take it away from you.

Then you heard that the government was running several car dealerships and they had an amazing deal just for you. They called it the Cash for Clunkers Program and they were going to take your old car and give you $4,500 in tax-payer money for it.

All you needed to do was come on down and pick yourself out one of a few select models they wanted you to drive. The down payment was given to you from the cash from your clunker and the lending policies were lax. It was a deal of a lifetime.

Now you are one of the millions of people in America that have lost your job and gotten behind on your car payment. You have to park it down the street at your friends house because the bank keeps sending the repo man to find it.

Then to make matters worse you find out your shinny new but incredibly small Prius might very well kill you and your family.

You see, I have been comparing the top sales in new cars from the Cash for Clunkers Program and the Toyota recall list and they are remarkably the same.

The number 1 seller on the government C4C list was the Toyota Corolla. Toyota is recalling them for a faulty accelerator that sometimes sticks wide open when had no intention of drag racing.

Also on the top C4C seller list were the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Camry which have been recalled for the same reason.

Mark Saylor, 45; his wife, Cleofe, 45; his daughter, Mahala, 13; and his brother-in-law, Chris Lastrella, 38, were all killed in widely publicized crash in A Lexus. Toyota produces the Lexus and they have been recalled as well.

Toyota president Akio Toyoda apologized Friday in Japan for the concern that the company's recall problems had caused customers. Toyota's handling of these problems has highlighted the divide in customers' response. They still love the cars, but they're frustrated by the way Toyota has treated them.

Listen to the chilling 911 call here:

Is anyone else wondering why the benevolent Obama Administration decided not to give the cars that were traded in on this program to unwed mothers or fatherless kids struggling to get a college education but rather destroyed all of them?

Mr. Eric Holder
Attorney General of the United States
Washington, DC

Dear Mr. Holder:

We, the editors of HUMAN EVENTS, RedState.com, and the many Americans who have attached our names to this petition hereby request that you try al-Qaeda’s confessed 9/11 terrorist mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four al-Qaeda cohorts in a military tribunal, reversing your precedent-changing decision to try them in a civilian court in New York City.

There is no reason, much less a requirement, under U.S. Constitutional or statutory law to grant KSM and the others the right to a trial in civilian courts, nor to offer them any of the corresponding Constitutional rights afforded U.S. citizens. Logic, reason, and justice demand that the terrorists who planned the 9/11 attacks be treated as enemy combatants in a war against the United States, not as common civilian criminals.

Our reasons for urging you to reverse your decision include:

Trying these terrorists in a civilian court would be a break with 200+ years of American jurisprudence. From British spies during the War of Independence to Nazi saboteurs caught on U.S. soil during World War II, we have tried those who make war against America in military, not civilian, courts. This change in policy sets a potentially catastrophic precedent. This would not happen with a military tribunal;

The very real possibility exists that if tried in a civilian court, KSM and the others could be acquitted on a technicality, such as their not having been informed of their Miranda rights, or having been denied a speedy trial. This would not happen with a military tribunal;

KSM and the others should not be allowed to hijack our courts, using them as a media circus to promulgate their hate-filled, extremist views. This would not happen with a military tribunal;

A civilian trial would send the dangerous message to our enemies that the United States has reverted to its ineffective, pre-9/11 crime-fighting approach to terrorism. This would not happen with a military tribunal;

In a civilian trial, valuable intelligence about interrogation techniques and other classified information will be revealed to America’s enemies, giving them a huge advantage in successfully carrying out terrorist plots in the future. This would not happen with a military tribunal;

Americans are willing to pay to ensure justice is served. However, the estimated security cost of $200 million for the KSM trial is completely avoidable and a total waste of taxpayer money. This would not happen with a military tribunal; and

While Americans are willing and able to stand up to protect themselves and their property, trying KSM and the others in New York invites a terrorist attack, creating a huge, unnecessary risk to our court workers, jurors, and everyone in the New York City area. This would not happen with a military tribunal;

Our final words are from David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, one of the heroes of United Flight 93: “Our enemies must be thrilled” he wrote of your decision to give KSM and the others a civilian trial in Manhattan. “We are willingly handing them an opportunity to inflict economic harm on New York City, keep their cause in the headlines, gather new intelligence, create new terror strategies, stimulate recruiting, celebrate new found rights, and foist a fresh round of pain and suffering upon their victims.”

Mr. Holder, as Attorney General of the United States, it was within your power to move the trial of KSM from a military tribunal to a civilian court. It is equally within your power to reverse that dangerous decision. We request that you do so forthwith.

Respectfully submitted,

The Editors of HUMAN EVENTS and RedState.com

Senator Scott Brown?

Reports have recently surfaced that she has been given a lot of donations (bribes) from health care providers and the pharmaceutical companies nationwide and she intends to be the deciding vote to pass it.

Seeking to capitalize on the extra trillion dollars in tax money its going to take to provide care and drugs to thirty million citizens and illegal immigrants the legislation proposes, these providers are willing to chip in quite a sum of money to insure Barack has the votes to pass it.

Scott Brown has promised to be the deciding vote that stops the bill’s passage.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley attracting 49% of the vote while her Republican rival, state Senator Scott Brown, picks up 47%. Three percent (3%) say they’ll vote for independent candidate Joe Kennedy, and two percent (2%) are undecided.

I think a small percentage of voters in Massachusetts that have been checking the Kennedy box on the ballot for a generation will continue their habit and vote for third party candidate Joe Kennedy, even though he is a conservative and not part of the Kennedy family.

This might make up the 2 or 3 points Brown needs to stop the “no health care bill” and keep Uncle Sam from raising your insurance rates another $1700 per year to cover people that came across the Rio Grand for all the freebie’s.

Harry Reid said during the campaign that Barack Obama could become President because he was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

The liberal Democrats in Congress have been trying to replace God in America for years and see Barack Obama as nothing more than a giant “light-skinned” pen to sign their legislation giving them their final authority over the life and death of American citizens through the Reid health care bill.
&after=

&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %’); ?>

If you think this is Obama’s bill ask yourself when Barack had a chance to write it? Hasn’t he been pretty busy on the healthcare sales pitch bus? Maybe he could have written it while he was off work for Ramadan? Who knows, maybe Bill Ayers or his brother wrote it but not Barack.

Now Reid has apologised and Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the President he made the remarks about took a short break from championing racial sensitivity and gave their blessings. After all Barack himself has made racial statements about no less than his grandmother. So, Reid says he’s done with it but hold on a minute there, I don’t think its gonna be that easy to forget.

Dirty Harry hasn’t always been so tolerant of other remarks of he deemed racist. Here’s an Associated Press article back in 2002 when he led the charge in running Trent Lott out of Congress for a lot less.

Nevada lawmakers not surprised by Lott resignation
DATELINE: LAS VEGAS

Sen. Harry Reid said Republican Senate leader Trent Lott’s decision to relinquish his post Friday came as no surprise.

“He had no alternative,” the Nevada Democrat and Senate minority leader said. “Senator Lott dug himself a hole and he didn’t dig it all in one setting. He dug it over the years. And he couldn’t figure out a way to get out of it.”

Reid, who has called colleagues in a bid to win his party’s Senate leadership post should Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., resign it seek the presidency, said he had no preference for a replacement for Lott.

Lott’s resignation Friday culminated a controversy over his racially insensitive comments at Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party.

Lott said that Mississippians were proud to have voted for Thurmond in 1948 on the pro-segregationist Dixiecrat ticket.

Asked if the episode would serve as a warning to weigh his own words carefully, Reid said: “You play how you practice.”

“If you tell ethnic jokes in the backroom, it’s that much easier to say ethnic things publicly. I’ve always practiced how I play.”

Nevada’s other Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Shelley Berkley, said the lesson behind Lott’s resignation was “clear and positive.”

“The political system and the American public will not tolerate, in the 21st century, the backward viewpoint reflected by the senator’s remarks.”

Nevada’s Republicans were less blunt.

Rep. Jim Gibbons, who had called for Lott to step down from the post, praised Friday’s decision.

“Senator Lott did the right thing for his party, for the Senate, for the nation,” the four-term Republican said. “He stepped down with great grace.”

Sen. John Ensign said Lott’s comments had opened what he called “a national dialogue on race relations.” Ensign had argued in a radio interview Thursday that it would be better for Democrats and blacks if Lott remained in the post.

“Now it is time for us as Americans to learn from this incident, to heal from it, and to move forward,” Ensign said in a statement Friday.

This one’s for you Dirty Harry

One thing thats for sure, If they do succeed in their plans. We are going to be left with two choices. Buy Obamacare Health Insurance or Go to Jail.

Bill “Slick Willy” Clinton is breathing a huge sigh of relief tonight. With all the focus on Dirty Harry his 10 times more racist remark has been largely ignored.

“A Few Years Ago He Would Have Been Getting Us Coffee.” Bill Clinton.

Okay, so for those in the U.S. that insist on being politically correct, shouldn’t we refer to all Americans as ‘African American’?

At first glance it looks like it panders to a racial stereotype involving African-Americans and fried chicken.

The Australian KFC commerical shows a crowd of people, almost all black, having a good time and playing music. The pasty white Australian guy stands out like a speck of salt in the pepper shaker.

Then he says “need a tip when you are stuck in an awkward situation?”
He passes out chicken and immediately the crowd stops dancing and the music is silent.

KFC is sure to find themselves in a world of trouble. Check it out and decide for yourself!

Racist KFC Commerical?

I’m predicting an Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson smackdown.
