Posted at 5:29pm on May 19, 2008 Michelle Obama: Women Are Taught To Suffer

By bluegrassredstate

Originally posted at Blue Grass, Red State.

In a brief telephone interview with Herald-Leader reporter Ryan Alessi today, the bitter half of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, demonstrated an unusual perspective on the lives of American women. (emphasis mine)

We're taught as women to keep it all in and suffer and just hold it down. So having the opportunity to sort of get some of that stuff out and it gives me information I will definitely be passing on to Barack, about what these families are missing."

What are families missing, Mrs. Obama? Many people are happy with their lives, you know? Not everyone is mad about everything like you. Through all of the sacrifices many families make for their families, their children, and their country, not everyone wants the government, led by your inept and ridiculous husband, to swoop in and make everything better.

By bluegrassredstate

Representative Tom Burch, fresh out of Kentucky's 2008 session of General Assembly, didn't hold back his frustration with U.S. Rep John Yarmuth (KY-3), a superdelegate who has already stated his support for Barack Obama.

At the Hillary Clinton campaign headquarters opening in Louisville today, Rep. Burch questioned why Yarmuth would support Obama over Clinton, who would be considered much more palatable to many Democrats in Kentucky's 3rd District.

By bluegrassredstate

Iraq will never be good enough for American Democrats. That is the lesson that the world should be learning right now. When the New York Times is printing stories that contain actual truths such as this one:

A member of Iraq’s Presidency Council, whose objections had blocked a law calling for provincial elections by October, withdrew his objections on Wednesday in a sudden turnaround that raised hopes for long-sought political progress.

Posted at 6:04pm on Mar. 19, 2008 Another Black Pastor's Fiery Sermon - S.M. Lockridge

By bluegrassredstate

With all the talk of Barack Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright, and now the pro-Clinton black Harlem pastor James David Manning, I am reminded of this sermon delivered by a black pastor at a predominantly black church.

He's the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously . . . He's the Leader of the legislators. He's the Overseer of the overcomers. He's the Governor of Governors. He's the Prince of Princes. He's the King of Kings . . . We around here talking about black power, and white power, and green power! But it's God's power!

Posted at 6:33pm on Jan. 24, 2008 Weird Oprah For President / Vagina Monologues Moment

By bluegrassredstate

This just seems like one of those things that would be talked about on The Oprah Winfrey Show. A Sumter, SC doctor convincing people to vote for Barack Obama while performing checkups.

Dr. Brenda Williams told the me after the event that : "Earlier today, I had a speculum up a young woman's vagina and she said to me, 'Dr. Williams, why do you support Obama?'"

By bluegrassredstate

In an op-ed printed in Human Events today, Senator Mitch McConnell
laid the groundwork for the work to be done in the Senate this year.

He commented briefly on last year's events, the Democrats' inability to do what they wanted to do last year, and how they tried to exlude Republicans from the legislative process. Then he said:

Posted at 11:23pm on Jan. 18, 2008 Freedom Crab

By bluegrassredstate

I realized moments ago while reading the text of this episode of Common Sense with Paul Jacob that we really should stop calling crab rangoon as such, because as Mr. Jacob points out:

So, how does Burma shave away knowledge? By increasing taxes on satellite dishes!

Most Burmese get their news from satellite TV. Since the Burmese government does not allow a free press within the country, access to the free press outside the country vexes the current junta. So the rulers decided to rocket the cost of satellite dishes upwards, beyond reach of most citizens.

Posted at 8:52pm on Jan. 17, 2008 Congresswoman Eyes Comeback In Kentucky

By bluegrassredstate

A lot of crazy developments in Louisville (KY-3) these past couple days.

I've written about it several times on my blog Blue Grass, Red State, but the news of Anne Northup considering a comeback got national attention pretty quickly.

Here are some links.

Posted at 12:28am on Jan. 16, 2008 Rudy Giuliani Is Not Pro-Choice

By bluegrassredstate

Rudy Giuliani is not pro-choice, not as traditional Republican voters think of "pro-choice" anyway. You can call him pro-choice if you want, but at your own peril.

The problem with calling him pro-choice in the traditional sense is that he is not pro-abortion like most "pro-choice" abortion supporters. The vast majority of the "pro-choice" crowd is actually just pro-abortion, because they reflexively oppose any and every attempt to make the various abortion laws more just and conform more to common sense.
