The Obligatory Cher is a Moron: Republican Rule Almost KILLED ME
Cher talking to CNS NewsFunny that when Flap saw Cher at Caesar’s in Las Vegas last summer that she didnm’t mind taking this Republican’s money. She did make a crack at the beginning of her show about right-wing Christians though.
I am sure the folks at Harrah’s who own Caesar’s Palace told her to keep it on the downlow so that there would not be a walk out like Linda Ronstadt had a year ago or so.
Grammy award-winning singer and Academy award-winning actress Cher told CNSNews.com that living under Republican rule almost “killed” her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican.
She also said that President Barack Obama’s “intelligence†and “spirit†are “so great†he will be able to do “more than anyone could possibly do.â€
“His intelligence is so great and his spirit is so great, I believe he will be able to do as much if not more than anyone could possibly do,†Cher told CNSNews.com at the “Declare Yourself†inaugural ball.
“I just think he’s totally the right person at this time in our history,” she said. “He brings something more in his spirit than maybe another president could be even with the same intelligence. There’s something about him that brings more with his spirit, and that’s what Americans need right now. Republicans almost killed me.â€
When asked to explain how Republicans somehow “killed†her, Cher was not specific.
“You know what? I have so – I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can’t figure it. I don’t understand,†she said. “If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority – gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich – I don’t know. If you’re not a rich born-again-Christian, I don’t get it.â€
You know, Cher’s show was actually pretty good despite her “UNHINGED” politics and Flap enjoyed it. But, Elton John’s was better and he certainly stayed away from any political commnentary during his show.
But, then again, Elton John endorsed Hillary Clinton and not the Obamessiah like Cher.

Democrat Supporting Organizations And Unions Target GOP Senators On Obama Stimulus Bill
Latest television ad targeting GOP Senators on Obama Stimulus LegislationLeft-Wing Democratic Party supporting groups are going to bat targeting GOP Senators over next week’s vote on the Obama/Democrat Stimulus Bill that passed the House yesterday.
Who are they targeting?
GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Chuck Grassley (Iowa).
An ad mixes that clip with voiceovers imploring the Republicans to cross the aisle: “Tell Sens. Collins and Snowe to support the Obama plan for jobs, not the failed policies of the past,” a voiceover intones in the ad running in Maine.
Collins and Snowe were among the five Republicans who have already supported the legislation at the committee level.
Obama won in Maine, New Hampshire and Iowa by large margins, though he lost Alaska’s electoral votes. The ads aim to pressure Murkowski, Gregg and Grassley, all of whom face re-election in 2010, to vote for the Senate version of the stimulus package.
Collins won reelection in 2008 and Snowe doesn’t face voters again until 2012.
The ads, which will cost $500,000 total, are being funded by Americans United for Change, MoveOn.org, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the Service Employees International Union. The group of organizations estimated it would spend a combined $4 to $5 million on the entire campaign.
Will these GOP Senators hold the party discipline like the GOP House that voted unanimously yesterday against the bill?
Perhaps, because despite the ads, polling shows American voters are not that enthused over the Obama pork-laden plan.

Elton John Criticizes California Proposition 8 for Focusing on Marriage
“I don’t want to be married. I’m very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership,” said Elton John, who cemented his relationship with David Furnish in 2005. “The word marriage, I think, puts a lot of people off. ”
Singer, composer, entertainer, gay rights/AIDS activist, Elton John has criticized California’s Proposition 8 which reinstated California’s traditional definition of marriage last week.In December 2005, John and Furnish tied the knot in a civil partnership ceremony in Windsor, England. But, clarified the singer, “We’re not married. Let’s get that right. We have a civil partnership. What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage.”
John and Furnish, and their two cocker spaniels Marilyn and Arthur, were in town for Monday’s annual benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
“I don’t want to be married. I’m very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership,” said John. “The word marriage, I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.”
Isn’t this the same argument that the YES on 8 supporters were arguing?
Here is a pre-election video that says the same thing:
Proposition 8 Made SimpleBut, Elton John is NOT the only gay activist who is criticizing gay leaders for emphasizing marriage versus expanding gay rights in other areas.
Longtime gay rights advocate Dean Trantalis of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and others on the conference call expressed concern that the gay rights movement had become too focused on marriage, and is now paying the price in other more critical areas. “Marriage was never our issue,” Trantalis said. “It was thrust upon us by the other side, and they’ve done a very good job of beating us up over it.”
In the meantime, California Proposition 8 opponents continue street demonstrations and protests directed at churches which supported the traditional definition of marriage.
Winning hearts and minds for homosexuals and their lifestyle?
Not so much.

Code Pink NUTTER Attempts to Handcuff Karl Rove
58-year-old Janine Boneparth who tried to handcuff Rove in what she called a citizen’s arrest for “treason.”An anti-war protester confronted former Bush administration aide Karl Rove while he spoke at a San Francisco mortgage bankers’ meeting.
A statement by the group Code Pink identified the woman as 58-year-old Janine Boneparth, who tried to handcuff Rove in what she called a citizen’s arrest for “treason.”
Rove, who was speaking Tuesday at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s annual convention, elbowed Boneparth away as she was escorted off the stage.
In total, five Code Pink members were removed from the hall during Rove’s appearance. The organization says none of the five women were charged.
Flap would have done more than just an elbow.
Believe me, Karl Rove showed restraint.

Cindy Sheehan vs. Nancy Pelosi Show Coming to Ventura County, California
Cindy Sheehan for California Congress AdAnti-Iraq War activist and left wing whack job, Cindy Sheehan is coming to Ventura County to hype her independent run for Congress against San Francisco Democrat and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.Cindy Sheehan is up next for Mary Pallant’s Ventura County Speaker Series. Please join me for this rare opportunity to hear from one of the most courageous women of our troubling times. Cindy has been speaking out against the unjust Iraq occupation, fighting to restore our rights, and continues to work on ending the worst political debacle in the history of our nation, the Iraq War. Her book, “Peace Mom: A Mother’s Journey Through Heartache to Activism” will be available for purchase and signing. I am continually amazed at her heroics and tireless efforts. We will hold a small event after the talk to help Cindy raise money for her campaign. A separate $25.00 donation to her campaign is suggested for this private event. Don’t miss this extraordinary woman and the ensuing discussion of “can one person make a difference?” See you then! Mary Pallant
Ventura County Speaker Series
Date: August 29th, 2008
Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Oak Park Community Center – 1000 Kanan Road
Cost: Free and open to the public. $3.00 donation appreciated
cover venue cost.Mary Pallant is a far left insurance agent who ran for Congress in the California June Democrat primary election (CA-24). Pallant who was endorsed by every lefty activist in Ventura County and the NUTROOTS finished a distant third to Marta Jorgensen who did not campaign the final two weeks in the south portion of the 24th Congressional District because reportedly she could not afford the gas money.
Pallant is touted by the left as the heir apparent Democrat candidate against incumbent GOP Congressman Elton Gallegly in two years after Jorgensen is dispatched this November.
Flap does not think associating with Cindy Sheehan who is running against the Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will buy Pallant too much love in the Democrat mainstream party.
But, who knows?

Barack Obama Watch: Another Celebrity Endorsement for Obama
Gwyneth Paltrow leads the charge for Americans abroad to vote for ObamaFlap doesn’t care that Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow does NOT live in the United States and supports her American right to vote for whomever she pleases.But, remember when she did NOT get her way (September 14, 2005)?
“…I feel like we’re really in trouble. I just had a baby and thought, ‘I don’t want to live there.’(in the United States). “Bush’s anti-environment, pro-war policies are a dis. . . .â€.
So, it is OK to be against President Bush (she supported John Kerry in 2004) and then let it slip (when no one but foreign press are watching) that you dislike America(ns) or does Gwyneth fear a Dixie Chick moment?
And, when Gwyneth said this:
Oscar-winning US actress Gwyneth Paltrow feels dinner talk is far more interesting in her adopted homeland Britain than back in her native country.
“I love the English lifestyle, it’s not as capitalistic as America. People don’t talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner,†she told “NS,†the weekend magazine supplement of daily Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias on Saturday.
“I like living here because I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans,†the 34-year-old added.
Paltrow, who won a best actress Oscar for 1998’s “Shakespeare in Love,†lives in London with British band Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin whom she wed in 2003.
Another celebrity snob for Obama. Not bad for a Californian with a high school education.
Snort…….

Bush Hecklers Mar Independence Day New Citizen Celebration
Vesna Zeljkovic, 20, of Bosnia hugs President Bush following her oath of citizenship during the 46th annual Independence Day celebration and naturalization ceremony at Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson, in Charlottesville, Va., Friday, July 4, 2008
No class President Bush hecklers went out of their way today to mar the new citizen swearing in celebration at Thomas Jefferson’s historic home.President Bush traveled to the home of Thomas Jefferson Friday to help swear in new U.S. citizens as part of Independence Day celebrations.
“When you raise your hands and take the oath you will complete an incredible journey. This journey has taken you from many different countries and has now made you one people,” Bush said at the naturalization ceremony at historic Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“From this day forward, the history of the United States will be part of your heritage. The Fourth of July will be a part of your independence day and I will be honored to call you a fellow American.” he said.
Bush was heckled several times, with some people yelling “War criminal!” One man shouted, “This man has brought fascism to our shores!” About nine people were removed from the ceremony.
“Impeach Bush. Impeach Bush. Amend the Constitution,” shouted another protester, prompting both cheers and boos from the audience of about 3,000 people.
What a bunch of crap. They have the right to protest but……there is a time and place.
No class MORONS….
**********Here is something MORE to be proud of as Americans this Independence Day: The largest reenlistment ceremony in the history of the U.S. military took place in the rotunda of the Al Faw Palace in Baghdad, Iraq on July 4, 2008.

MoveOn.org and AFSCME Channel 100 Years of Iraq War in Anti-McCain ad
New ad by MoveOn.org and the public employee labor union AFSCMEThis is a hard-hitting ad targeting John McCain’s “100 Years in Iraq” remark.Of course, the entire remark has been taken and spun out of context, but what else is new for the LEFT?
“MoveOn.org was wrong to smear General Petraeus, just like Barack Obama was wrong to not go to Iraq to meet with him. America cannot afford a Commander-in-Chief who listens to partisan groups like MoveOn.org instead of our commanders. Bringing peace and security to Iraq will require a Commander in Chief who won’t allow partisanship to cloud his judgment.â€
The unions and left-wing organizations will continue to pound McCain on the unpopular war. But, will the Iraq War be the primary issue in the Fall with conditions on the ground there being dramatically better?
Flap thinks the economy and taxes will supercede the importance of the war.
