Stupid and funny political quotes and favorite movie quotes

I thought I'd take a break from some serious commentaries and offer up some humorous political quotes and some favorite movie quotes of mine. If you have any favorites please feel free to send them to me as I'd love to hear them.
Today on Don Imus'radio show he had conservative politcal commentator Monica Crowley on commenting on the Scott Brown election. Here are a few of her quotes from this morning:

Brown is the new Black...... He is so delectable. I can see it now. Soup for dinner and him for dessert...Now that's a real stimulus package.....I wouldn't kick him out of bed even if he was clipping his toenails.....People are tired of the skinny socialist in there now."

"Less bad is not good. Less bad is not good. Less bad is better than more bad, but it still ain't good."------Joe Biden speaking to United Auto Workers after they said this year's sales weren't as bad as last year's sales.

"Even If we do everything right there's still a 30% chance we'll get it wrong".....JoeBiden

"To paraphrase Michelle Obama, For the first time in my life I'm proud of my state. Well done Scott Brown.".....Columnist S.E. Cupp on Sean Hannity's TV show.

MOVIE QUOTES:

Tragedy in Haiti

The tragedy in Haiti is very sad indeed, but the haters of America and other groups are all complaining about the lack of aid coming in especially from the U.S. and Haitian gangs are piling corpses up in roadblocks protesting the lack of aid. Well EXCUUUUSE US for being the first ones to respond. EXCUUUSE US for sending more than any other country in only three days. You can't just snap your fingers and have miracles appear like these complainers seem to expect. Sending aid takes looking at logistics and see where you can send food and water in. We're working as fast as we can.

During the Sunami in Indonesia we donated more than any other country and still people complained we didn't do enough. We feed the world and still they complain. In this situation they couldn't fly in because the airport was so badly damaged that there was only one runway and the air traffic controllers tower was out as was the power so that was out. You can't parachute food in when there is chaos on the ground. One country tried that and they dropped boxes in a park where hundreds of homeless people are now and the crowd scatterd when the boxes landed. You can't do that!!!!! People are panicing in the streets and in their panic chaos and murder and greed all set in. Gangs are forming and burning pyres of tires and corpses too. Now there are questions about people donating which naturally follows in these situations. Rapper Wyclef Jean wants to donate millions, but there are a lot of questions about his shady backers and financiers. George Clooney is having a public TV telethon to raise donations, but as is always in these situations, people mean well, but you can't be sure where these doantions always go. I agree with these two comments from a narticle I recently read:

Poverty and lack of education aside, if they’re blocking the roads, how can help get through to everyone in need? Leave it to the greedy few in front… they’re deterring aid to all in need.

With all the billions of dollars we throw at the UN why does America have to spend more money that we don’t have to bail out Haiti? Let the UN lead the charge instead. That’s what they are supposedly there for


Here is an article from World Net Daily on the current situation with U.S. aid and the U.N. aid and the current situation on why it is so diffulcult getting aid there.:

Stewart Stogel© 2010 WorldNetDaily
UNITED NATIONS – Informed U.S. State Department sources tell WND that Washington has taken de-facto control of earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
"USAID has now taken control [of Haiti]," said one source. "We [the U.S.] are the only ones who can get things done."
Vice President Joe Biden told reporters at Homestead Air Force Base, Fla., where relief efforts are underway, that Haiti is a nation "that has totally collapsed."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the first White House cabinet member to arrive on the scene. She made a brief tour of the Port au Prince region on Saturday.
U.N. relief efforts, however, have been criticized as "disorganized" and "haphazard" by U.S. sources.
The U.N.'s Haiti operations center was destroyed in last week's quake. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's special representative, Hedi Annabi, who remained "missing" more than four days later, was found dead Saturday. Annabi was believed to be in the complex at the time of the quake.
In a statement released Saturday evening, Ban called Annabi the "gold standard" of international civil servants.
UNICEF, which operated separately from the U.N. system, saw its headquarters survive, but was also severely impacted because many of its personnel were in the field at the time of the quake. A substantial number of those still remain unaccounted for.

U.S. sources confirm to WND that Haitian relief efforts could easily surpass $1 billion in the next few months, much of that aid being financed by Washington.
The U.N. has already announced a $550 million international emergency fundraising drive.
Not only could the rescue and rebuilding efforts reach billions of dollars, but they could also take years to accomplish.
U.S. sources point out that even today, more than four years later, New Orleans is still rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina.
Meanwhile, U.N. sources admit that part of the problem that now exists in Haiti squarely falls on the United Nations and the international community.
Virtually nothing of substance has been done to build a credible infrastructure
in Haiti since the military government of Gen. Raul Cedras was overthrown by the Clinton administration military invasion in 1994.

In Memory of a Tree

The other day on AOl's cover page I saw a story about this 210 year old dutch elm tree that is about to be cut down and the 101 year old gent who has cared for it all these years. He looked in pretty good shape and explained that he cared for the tree for over 50 years and it had dutch elm blight 14 times and he saved it each time, but now he doesn't know of anyone who will care for it as his time is near too he said. The article didn't mention why no one else could care for it, but I bet it drew lots of takers.
The story reminded me of a song narrative I have by folk artist Tom Pacheco called The Tree Song which I want to share with you below. Pacheco said the tree told him the story and he just wrote it down. It's a poem he recites while a violin plays in the background and is very touching and beautiful. One of my favorites since I always love a big sprawling beautiful tree.

The Tree Song
by Tom Pacheco

Well good morning folks,come gather round this oak tree you have climbed,
I guess you 've all lost kites in my branches at one time,
I've seen a million sunsets and grown a trillion leaves
and every winter that ol' north wind comes and blows them right off me,
A million cats have climbed me, below me children play,
I won't tell you what the dogs do, but that's just nature's way.
People come and meet here when the midnight moon is high,
Some laugh and love all night, some just sit here and cry.
And once there was a murder, I was the only witness there,
And the wrong man went to prison, the killer was the mayor.
I could talk to you forever with the stories that I know,
Why just fifty feet below me there's a chest of pirate gold.
But now I see bulldozers and soon I'm gonna fall,
they're gonna pave this whole field for a brand new shopping mall.
I hope they use some of me for a fence or for a door,
ahh but you know they don't seem mto make things out of wood much anymore.
Anyway I'm happy because in the woods across the way,
there's a brand new oak tree growing from one of my own acorn seeds.

Hoorayy. Prez Finally Gets It or Does He?

Today's NY Post had a picture of Obama on it with white dots over his face spelling out the words "They Want to Kill Us" then underneath was the headline "Prez finally connects the dots." This was a referance to Obama's speech today sounding like he was getting tough with terrorists. It's about time. After the Ft. Hood massacre we had to be careful not to jump to conclusions. After the underwear bomber it was just "an isolated incident." This week a middle eastern guy jumped up from his seat on an airplane saying he wanted to" kill all the jews".That was just another isolated incident with a guy who was distrurbed. Now they arrest two Palestinian guys who were plotting to blow up the New York subways. So it finally hits him in the head like a big hammer and he connects the dots?? DUHHHH

The problem with liberals like Obama, and Clinton was the same way, is that they think all you have to do is be nice to them and they'll be nice to you. That is pure naieve poppycock. Terrorrism is pure force. These terrroists want to kill as many Americans as they can and make this a muslim state. The goal of these radical muslims is world domination and they are willing to die for the cause and blow themselves up even. They don't care if you're liberal, conservative, democrat or republican, white, yellow, black, etc. If you don't accept Islam then you have to be killed. Obama doesn't seem to grasp that idea. He's even giving Miranda rights to terrroists we capture and giving them lawyers and trials over here. That is so wrong. I couldn't help but think today's speech was his advisors telling him you better get tough because you're sinking in the polls.

Ths week I saw Meghan Kelly on Fox News interviewing a woman on Obama's homeland security team and she said the previous administration had it wrong by saying it was a war on terrorism. She said it's not a war on terrorism, it's a war on Al Queada. Well Al Queada is terrorism. Oh I forgot it's not terrorism, but "man made disasters" and "an overseas contingency operation."

New polls show that 71% o f people surveyed said full body scanners should be used at airports and 17% said no. 59% said profiling should be used at airports and 26% said no. Hey Obama, are you listening? The American people get it!!!!

Pelosi, Reid and Obama are still trying hard to ram Obamcare down our throats. Here's an excerpt from an article I read today online on GOPUSA: Despite all their promises for fairness and transparency, when it comes to ObamaCare, the President, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid continue to look the American people in the eye and lie right to your face. As California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger -- once a proponent of ObamaCare and certainly no staunch conservative -- said recently, the so-called health care "reform" bill has become nothing more than "a trough of bribes, deals and loopholes." That was putting it nicely. The truth is, the process that Obama and Democrat leaders are employing in their efforts to put the government in charge of one-sixth of the nation's economy -- your family's health care decisions -- is perhaps the most corrupt and non-transparent process in the history of our great nation. In fact, Obama, Pelosi and Reid are so intent on keeping ObamaCare behind closed doors - out of sight from the American people -- that they are going to bypass a conference committee process altogether to try to avoid more public opposition as they seek to combine the House and Senate versions of ObamaCare. The New York Post summed up what is going on this way: "Congressional Democrats plan to take final negotiations on the massive health-care overhaul behind closed doors - far from the prying eyes of the public and most lawmakers." Forget transparency... forget a recent request by C-SPAN to televise further ObamaCare proceedings (something the President himself promised on numerous occasions)... forget about the American people knowing what's in this next ObamaCare offering before it comes up for a final vote in the House and the Senate.

Hey Barack, Joe and Janet, DUHHHH!!!!!!

First we have the dumbest man in the senate in Joe Biden with his gaffe after gaffe after gaffe and the media just laughs at him and covers for him naturally. The latest being his speech before CEO's of the auto industry when they said that sales this year were less bad than last year and his reply was "Less bad is not good. Less bad is not good. Less bad is better than more bad, but it still ain't good." WHAAATTTT???? To hear him say it is funnier than reading it.

Next we have the Ft. Hood massacre where this muslim officer killed a dozen soldiers and wounded others before being struck down and Obama says we have to be careful not to jump to conclusions. Not jump to conclusions??? This guy gave a speech before agroup of military psychiatrists and fellow officers where he said, "Infidels' heads should be chopped off and their mouths filled with boiling oil." He spoke out against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and counseled soldiers against going to them. He was a muslim and hated America and massacred our soldiers and we're not supposed to jump to conclusion? Instead of admonishing him or transferring him, the PC crowd said "Oh this is interesting. We can learn from what he's saying. " Well because of that kind of lib thinking twelve soldiers are now dead and we're not supposed to jump to conclusions. Hey Barack baby DUHHHHH!!!!

Next we have this Nigerian guy whose father is a high ranking official in Nigeria and warns the U..S. embassy there about his son may be planning an attack. He's on the terror watch list along with 500,000 others, gets on a plane with no passport, no baggage, a one way ticket he paid for in cash with explosives sewed into his underwear ,sets off a bomb on the plane and nobody saw the signs? If it wasn't for the fact that the bomb failed and the quick actions of that Swedish film maker who jumped over several seats and doused the flames with his hands and held the guy in a choke hold until the police arrived, everyone on that plane might have been killed. Then Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano said the system worked. WHAAATTTT???? The system didn't work. She later said she was taken out of context. What context? It was plain and simple. She said she meant to say the system worked with all the increased security after the incident. Hey Janet DUHHHH!!!! This is the same woman who said it is not a war on terror but man made disasters. What an idiot!!! Obama referred to the jihadist as a suspect. I guess when you have flames coming out of your thighs you are just a suspect. Again Obama is protecting his own just like in Ft.Hood. Now he's saying a lot of red flags were missed. Hey Barack do ya' think???? DUHHHHH

The Radio City Christmas Show

This past Dec.14th my wife and I attended the Christmas Show at Radio City in New York City. It was a packaged deal we signed up for earlier with dinner at our favorite restaurant and the show. A bus took us and brought us back. After a scrumptious meal as always,we got on the bus and a representative from the restaurant told us to not go to the tree at Rockefeller Center because the bus would leave right after the show. We almost missed the bus, but more on that later.

This is our third time seeing the show. Each time they keep some routines and always add new ones which we noticed this year. The show opens with a special 3-D cartoon of Santa leaving the North Pole. You are in his sleigh with him and the reindeer's tails and rear ends face you as they bob up and down as you fly away in the sleigh. A polar bear throws a snowball at the sleigh and you hear a loud THUD as Santa lets out with a hearty HO HO HO. The sleigh passes some geese flying and one looks straight at you, his bill just inches from your nose. Santa flies around the statue of liberty throwing lights and tinsel around her and flies under the Brooklyn Bridge and up around it above the Empire State Building throwing wreaths and brightly wrapped packages out at you. He lands in front of Radio City and comes out on stage dancing with the Rockettes and welcomes everyone to the show.

One of my favorite routines is the March of the Wooden Soldiers. The Rockettes come out dressed as the wooden soldiers doing precision dancing and formations to the famous Wooden Soldier March. They even do the famous X shaped formation. At the end of the routine they all line up in back of one another. A cannon comes out and shoots a flag that says BOOM on it in big red letters as they all lock arms and fall ever so slowly down on top of one another, the last one landing on a soft mattress placed there for him.
A new routine features the Rockettes on a tour bus. It's double decker red bus and the rockettes are dressed in white. The Bus is in front of a huge screen with a picture of Radio City. The picture moves and the bus turns and twirls with the wheels moving giving the impression they are riding down the streets of New York. It's very realistic and you can feel the movement as if you were actually riding down the street with them. Fireworks and streamers shoot out high above you and softly come down on top of you. It was totally unexpected and fun though the young woman in front of me appeared slightly annoyed as she unraveled the streamers from her. :D

Another clever dance routine is the dancing Santas. About two rows of real Rockettes dressed as Santa appear and on the screen many more appear all in formation and perfectly choreographed to give the impression there are hundreds of them. Very intricate and clever as well as entertaining.

The close of the show features the famous living nativity scene featuring the birth of Christ and all the shepherds, three wise men, angels and Mary and Joseph and the manger on a high rock pedestal. It's very chilling and inspirational and all the animals are real from sheep to camels and donkeys. The costumes are brightly colored and the light shining behind Mary and Joseph is totally breath taking.

The show started at 8 p.m. and was over at 9:30 p.m. After visiting the restrooms we walked back to the bus only to find him moving. My wife thought he was moving because the cop told him to move since there were other busses there blocking traffic. I wasn't so sure and ran waving my arms and yelling. Some people on the bus saw me and told the driver to stop. We got on and it was only about 9:45. One man on the bus said they should take a count and he did. There were 42 passengers and only 36 on the bus and three of the missing passengers were nuns. The guy said he would go out and find them. He did find them and they were elderly nuns too. The other three were all senior citizens too. New York City blocks are long too. We wondered how the other people got on the bus so soon after the show was over. After everyone was accounted for we all had a safe trip home. If you never saw the show I would highly recommend it. It's world famous and they have it every year through Jan.1st.

This is a frightening piece of legislation. If this passes the U.S. officially enters into an "Orwellian" state. If I voiced my feelings on this, I'd get banned from this site. So I'll just say continue to call, e-mail, contact your Reps, and Senators constantly and tell them to vote against this bill. What if I don’t want a National Health ID card? And this is why Obama, Pelosi, Waxman, et al wanted to rush Obamacare through congress before anybody had a chance to read it. Contact your congressman and your two senators today!
