This is a conservative thread to allow those with conservative views to express themselves. We welcome Republicans, Tea Party folks, and those who believe in the Constitution as written, not as interpreted by liberal judges. If you have liberal views we invite you to participate in a civil and respectful conversation. We would respectfully request that if you cannot post in a respectful and civil manner to refrain from doing so until you can. Good discussions are great - insulting arguments are not. We welcome discussions about our weight loss journey.
Just getting us started for the week. I hope you all had a very enjoyable Christmas with family ad friends.
It was a busy time here. I had DD home overnight and was very tired when she left. We all probably ate too much and I will have to really watch it for awhile. I will check ack later.
How was your Christmas if you celebrate the holiday?

Hi Meg, thanks for the start up. I was too lazy to do so today. Back to the grind tomorrow. Had a very nice Christmas with family, but it's nice to get back to normal.
I've been reading some excerpts from Obama's "exit interview" podcast with David Axelrod/CNN. The guy is in total denial. He blames Fox news for Hillary's loss. He blames "not communicating well enough with rural people", claims he would have won a third term if he was allowed to run again. You really have to read it to believe it. What an ego maniac and narcissist. Oh, and he will stick his nose into the new administration....hey buddy, you had your turn, now its time for REAL hope and change. He doesn't see that Hillary would have been like a third term for him.....and people weren't buying it. He was actually kind of advocating for news censorship when it doesn't agree with his agenda.
Anyone see where the Drexel Univ. professor has called for white genocide? If you only read CNN you wouldn't have heard about it. Imagine the backlash if it had been something else?
And what Obama did with the UN resolution....I am shocked and horrified. that was a huge Eff U to Isreal. If anyone doubted he hates Israel, there cannot be any doubt any longer. I propose we throw the UN out of NYCity. They do nothing for us except not pay parking tickets and have their ambassadors and their staff not have to abide by our laws....."diplomatic immunity".
Good night. Lin

Apparently someone took offense to something I reposted in the last thread. Of course he/she didn't identify his/her self - most likely one of our "friends" from the left. I swear those people have no sense of irony or humor. I am sure Obama totally enjoyed giving Israel the finger one last time - of course nobody on the left sees anything wrong with that, in fact I am sure they are laughing about that.

We had a great Christmas. All the family made it & we do enjoy being together. The food - there was way too much but it all was sooo good!! Now we all look forward to the New Year & the hope & change we all desire.
I was so upset with the treatment of Israel by Obama and it does show his muslim roots as nothing else can. The Catholics say if we give them a child until they are 5 they will be Catholic for life. Under that - Obama was raised as a Muslim until 8 or 10 or something like that. I know we shouldn't judge but we can know a person by their fruits & his fruits are not that of a Christian. Christians respect Israel as God's chosen people & treat them as such. We also believe the Bible when it says what you do to Israel God will do to you. Germany put the Jews behind a fence & God put Germany behind a 'fence' so to speak. What do you think God will do to America for the actions of Obama?
I am looking forward to 2017 & what our new President will do for Americans. The stock market is reflecting the belief in his cabinet and his actions. I do know he will need our prayers as he leads this country.
Gary, when I first posted on this thread someone complained about my post but I don't know who it was. It was about the time someone complained because the conservatives were allowed to have a thread & I have always thought it was that person. If I go over & read their thread I don't feel like I should complain. If I don't like what they say I should just leave their thread but then that is logic & they don't seem to relate to that.
Peggy

Gary, that Paladino (?) guy is a little "off", but regardless, funny that the phanthom poster did not have any kind of issue with the disgusting post from "the others" I saw a few days ago where they claimed Trump was having "relations" with his DD. Actually, a Politico (an on-line "news" source) reporter was just fired for saying something similar. That is just disgusting. That poster is a real moron....yeah, "you ain't seen nothing yet"....bring it on. What do you have left? Hillary lost 3 times in one month....election day, the "recount" and the electoral vote (LOLOLOL she actually lost a couple there). Dems are acting like spoiled children that didn't get their way.
Peggy, nice to see you again. Glad you had a nice Christmas.
And good lord, no wonder the Obamas decided to rent a mansion in DC instead of returning to their home in Chicago:
According to The Atlantic and the Chicago Tribune: Chicago Gun Deaths on Obama’s Watch Nearly Overtake Iraq War Deaths Under Bush. Just under 4,230 Americans died in the Iraq War during George W. Bush’s time in office. Nearly that many–3,903–have died in Chicago alone since Barack Obama took office in 2009.
To be clear, the loss of even one American service member overseas is a loss that should be marked with solemness and honor. But during the Bush years the media seemed to report the casualty numbers in a way aimed at undercutting the war effort and/or finally proving George W. Bush had made a mistake by going to Iraq in the first place. ******************* That is just horrifying. And....there is gun control in Chicago, so how is THAT working out?? ********************* And I have now heard from two different sources that the various law enforcement agencies assigned to protect Trump all say the same thing: he is a gentleman and treats them all with respect and can't do enough for them. On the other hand, nobody wanted the Clinton assignment.That says a lot. Lin

Hi everyone. I am sad tonight about what Obama did to Israel but not at all surprised. Remember how he and the democrats spent all kinds of money and even sent people over there to try to keep Netenyahu from winning the last election. I hope Trump kicks the UN right out of NY and moves the US Embassy to Jordan.
Peggy, those on the left are totally not tolerant of anyone why disagrees with them and they have absolutely no logical thought at all.

Well, a much better day at work today than yesterday. We were swamped with returns yesterday, but today we kept up with them pretty good. Even the call volume was down, so much so that I was having trouble staying awake at the fitting room desk. Feast or famine.
I can hardly wait until Jan. 20. Trump will have a huge job undoing the total mess Obama has made of this country both domestically and in foreign affairs. And Obama is doubling down trying to make life for Trump as difficult as possible. And now I am hearing he has the gall to say if he had been allowed to run for a third term instead of Hilary he would have won against Trump. What a total egotistical maniac he is.

Hello everyone, I hope you have enjoyed Christmas and the time to relax. I keep reminding everyone that Christmas is not over until 5 th Jan.
I agree with you all that Obama has really treated Israel very badly and I hope that when the new administration headed by Donald Trump as President that we will be able to un do some of the bad decisions made by Obama. Though Obama has time to make a few more bad decisions to purposely stick it to the USA which he does not respect before he term of office is up.. Remember how the out going Clinton administration left the White House when President Bush took office. Why can't the Democrats behave like Ladies and Gentlemen and stop doing stupid things to be disruptive.
The press keep telling us that he is popular and but the election says otherwise. During his term as President. he has lost the Senate the Congress and many state Gov. races. So what does that say about him? I know he has plans to e a trouble maker and rabble rouser after he leaves office. He was very good at that as President.
Peggy you are right we need to pray a lot for our new President and those who have been chosen to lead this country.

Countdown is here! Do you have big plans to celebrate? I'll enjoy my warm TV. Besides the snow word is showing up for Sunday.
I have been disappointed with our current President. He has no respect for the military. They lead the good life as King and Queen. I have always admired the First Ladies but not this one.
Give President-elect Trump a chance. He is not sitting around playing golf.
It is almost breakfast time. Good day to all!

Yep, Obama is wreaking as much havoc as he can before he leaves office, sticking it to Israel one more time and designating national monuments not for the purpose of preserving history, but to deny us from developing energy resources (drilling for oil, etc.). He's a complete jerk and so is his wife.
On the domestic front I found out my oldest granddaughter (18) is pregnant. Ordinarily it would be a joy to have my first great grandchild, but the father is a deadbeat loser who is also black so my first great grandchild will be biracial, not that I mind that except biracial children are not always accepted by either race. Well, the father abandoned both my granddaughter and his baby. I know my granddaughter will be a great mother from the way she takes care of her siblings the youngest of which is a 2 year old special needs boy, but life will not be easy for her or the baby. This is her senior year of high school and her baby is due just a few days after graduation. Hope she can graduate.

Cat, I wish we could all get together and throw a big party to celebrate the Obamas leaving the White House and Our new President moving in. I don't mind our President taking a couple of hours off to play golf but Obama seemed to do it at inappropriate times. I am sure DT will take a break from his duties though he seems like someone who enjoys working and getting things done. I hope you can stay indoors where it is warm.
Gary, I am waiting to see what else Obama is going to do before he leaves office. He has already done so much damage to our military, businesses moving to other countries because of the hundreds of new regulations he has imposed on them and he has accumulated more debt than any other president and our military has suffered under his command. And he is out there strutting around saying if he ran for election again he would win. He doesn't seem to grasp that the people were voting against him and his administration. He is a very arrogant man living in fantasy land.

Gary I am sorry about your granddaughter, not because of the race or the fact that she is having a baby, but no matter what the left would have you think, being a single mom is not an easy task, but I am proud of her because she is not running out and having an abortion, but taking responsibility. If she has the help of family , she will be okay. There really is not that much of a problem with bi-racial children anymore not being accepted. I know a number of my friends who have biracial grandchildren and they are very popular with their friends and in their schools so on that issue, the child will be okay unless he/she is around some idiots or something.
No telling what else O will do in the next 21? 22? days. I am sure he will do everything he can to make it harder for Trump to get things done when he takes office. He will not be respectful like GW was and keep his mouth shut, he is far too much of a narcissist for that. He was a community organizer and had no idea how to run a country and he still has no idea in reality. He is a week puny man with no class and has someone (probably Soros) pulling his chain during the whole 8 years. Putin just slapped the man in the face for crying out loud. He basically said to O "who cares what you do to Russia, you are a has been and have no power anymore." I just sit back and laugh when they are having all these issues with Trump trying to have a relationship with Putin as far as maybe fighting terrorists. I do not think Trump is stupid and if Putin does some things like he has been doing, Trump will come down hard, but it would be better if there was some diplomacy thrown in at the start. Of course, Obama preached diplomacy all the time but let every other country (except Israel, our only friend in the ME) push him around and he is not respected by ANYONE. I believe if Putin really keeps acting like an idiot, Trump will put the brakes on and take care of it a lot faster than O ever did. I mean even Great Britain is criticizing O for his actions against Israel. I have to agree with one guy I heard tonight, Russia did our media's job in the election by getting the truth out there about the Clinton machine. I think it was high time the country learned how evil the Clintons are.
