Warning Shot

I picked up on a radio 'tweener (those 4-8 minute local news segments between show segments) a report about the Fed government finding that there is no evidence whatsoever that the oil companies are "gouging" prices at the pumps. The report included a quote that I believe is *extermely* revealing ... and pretty much lays the groundwork for a possible future that every conservative needs to take notice of. In a response to the report, Senator Barbara Boxer ... lunatic fringe senator from the leftist coast ... warned that if the investigating group did not come to the conclusion that she was looking for, then she thought that the investigating group should be investigated!

I have to pause for a moment here at the simple stupidity of this comment ... never mind the ear-ringing hypocrisy. "If you do not manufacture the result we are looking for, then we will punish you" ... sound like, oh ... say ... McCarthyism? "If you do not accuse your friends of being communists ... then YOU must be one!!!"

Isn't this exactly the kind of thing that the Democraps say the republicans are doing with the word "patriot" (i.e. Democrat lack thereof)??? Never mind that it is a total lie ... but is that not what they are saying? Could you imagine if the republicans actually did this kind of crap ... the hell they would have paid for it?

And is it not funny that nobody is making a big deal out of this?

Looking to the future

One of the radio commentators I heard indicated that something like this will happen if (God forbid) the Democrats take control of either house of Congress. They will hold hearings where the only testimony will be delivered by those that the liberals want to hear from. I doubt it will go so far as impeachment (certainly not removal from office), but if they are able to pull off enough of a circus ... particularly with their pals in media ... who knows?

This will be similar to that idiot Russ Feingold's little sophomoric "censure" hearings (you might have missed it ... nobody bothered to show up and even Feingold left during the proceedings). The only bozos testifying were also ran buffoons and guys trying to push the sales of their books ... nobody, and I mean nobody ... with any kind of real information was around.

Think it through

You need to think this through ... because if you are like me you probably want to puke all over the Republicans on this immigration thing (I'll get to that later). The bottom line however, is that this could have severe ramifications throughout ... tax cuts, the War on Terror, judicial nominees, etc. If they can pin Bush to the wall for 2 years, they might be able to undo the few good things that were accomplished during this administration.
