I found this on the net, I thought some of you would find it interesting and amusing. Of course I edited it, and added my own personal insight, but if you must see the original, you can view it here.
The Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States: The 2007 Edition
20) BarackObama: Defining Quote: "The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security." -- BarackObama explaining why he refuses to wear a flag pin Here you see him as he refuses to show any respect to the American Flag.
19) Cindy Sheehan: Defining Quote: "(The collapse of the Twin Towers) does look to me like a controlled demolition - I'm not an expert - but it does look to me like a controlled demolition - I'm looking at common sense. I do see some very high profile people saying it was an inside job." -- Cindy Sheehan
18) Michael Moore:
Defining Video: Fred Thompson helped gin up a hot following on the net by putting out this video declining Michael Moore's pathetic request for a debate and suggesting instead, that Moore should enter a mental institution.
17) Ted Rall: Defining Quote: "Over time, however, the endless war in Iraq began to play a role in natural selection. Only idiots signed up; only idiots died. Back home, the average I.Q. soared." -- Ted Rall
(Only "Idiots" give their lives to defend your (and mine) freedom! What a stupid statement)
You have to see this video
16) Jimmy Carter: Defining Quote: "And I think the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world." -- Jimmy Carter castigates the British for cooperating with his own country -- Can he be expelled from the US? -- I often wonder...
15) Bill Maher: "I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow....I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact." -- Bill Maher
Here's another one, "I love America; it's Americans I can't stand!" -- Bill Maher
14) The Huffington Post: Whether it's trashing the troops, conspiracy theories, or making merry after some Republican goes to the hospital or dies, the HuffPo will be ready, willing, and able to meet your annoying liberal needs.
13) Chris Matthews: Defining Quote: "Calling his show "Hardball" is like rechristening ping-pong "Thermonuclear Warfare." Displays the slurred, unmodulated speech and unfocused antagonism of an aggrieved middle-management drunk. Can read a scurrilous political attack into any paragraph at twenty paces. Continues honing his pointless questions as his guests attempt to answer, cutting them off with an affected imperial weariness when their responses are insufficiently inane. Apparently ignorant of the implications of satellite technology, Matthews shouts louder at geographically more distant guests." -- The Beast
12) Geraldo Rivera:
Geraldo is so rabidly pro-illegal that he would probably favor driving Americans out of the Southern half of the United States to make more room for people who might want to sneak into the country. Defining Video: Geraldo's screaming match over illegal immigration with Bill O'Reilly.
11) John Edwards:
Then there was the time that he had his sick wife call Hardball to attack Coulter for beating up on him for being a pantywaist -- which, incidentally, just enforced that impression.
10) Mike Malloy: If you ever want to know why liberal talk radio hasn't caught on, look at Mike Malloy. Rush Limbaugh andSean Hannity get accused of being angry because they're tough on the Democrats, but you can almost picture Malloy secretly murdering Republicans on the week-ends and burying them in the crawlspace under his house.
9) The Daily Kos: The funny thing about the Daily Kos is that the farther "out there" they get, the more thoroughly they seem to be mainstreamed into the Democratic Party. Last year, Democratic contenders for the Presidency -- like Hillary Clinton, BarackObama, and John Edwards -- went to the Yearly Kos convention to kiss the rings of Kossacks and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas got a gig writing for Newsweek.
8) Joy Behar: Defining Quote #1: "I don’t know what it’s going to take for people to really wake up and understand that they [the Bush administration] are liars and they are murderers." -- Joy Behar
Al Sharpton:In recent years Al Sharpton has surpassed Jesse Jackson to become America's race-hustler-in-chief. If there is money to be made or media coverage to be had playing black and white people against each other, you can be sure that Al Sharpton will be right in the middle of it, mugging for the cameras and trying to find a way to make a few bucks. Defining Quote: "I can’t think of a time when the Rev. Sharptonwasn’t under investigation." -- Al Sharpton's lawyer, Michael Hardy, after a FBI and IRS investigation into Sharpton was launched.
6) Al Gore: Just when you thought nothing could make Al Gore more pompous after the tongue bathing he has gotten from liberals begging him to run for President, the Nobel Peace Prize committee, bizarrely, decided to give him an award for spreading alarmist propaganda about global warming. Defining Quote #2: "We are what is wrong, and we must make it right." -- Al Gore, accidentally hitting closer to the mark than he realized in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.
5) Keith Olbermann: Defining Quote: "Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda — worse for our society. It’s as dangerous as the KuKlux Klan ever was." -- Keith Olbermann
4) Nancy Pelosi:
San Fran Nan has been such a horrible Speaker of the House that she has led the Democratic Congress to the single, lowest approval rating in HISTORY.
3) Harry Reid:
Reid is a sleazy, nasty-tempered liberal who puts petty political concerns in front of everything else, including the troops in Iraq, and he's a walking, talking embodiment of what people like the least about the Democratic Party.
Defining Quote: "Now I believe, myself, that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows: that this war is lost, that the surge is not accomplishing anything." -- Harry Reid
2) Rosie O'Donnell: Defining Quote: "I do believe that it's the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7 — building 7, which collapsed in on itself — it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes — 7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible." -- Rosie O'Donnell
(I am glad we have such renown Physicist who can make such groundbreaking assessments about the collapse of the WTC, she should have contributed to Fahrenheit 9/11)
1) Hillary Clinton: Defining Quote: "I think the fact of the matter is that Sen. Clinton is claiming basically the entire eight years of the Clinton presidency as her own, except for the stuff that didn't work out, in which case she says she has nothing to do with it. There is no doubt that Bill Clinton had faith in her and consulted with her on issues, in the same way that I would consult with Michelle, if there were issues. On the other hand, I don't think Michelle would claim that she is the best qualified person to be a United States Senator by virtue of me talking to her on occasion about the work I've done." -- BarackObama

I am starting a new series called "10 questions" that I will be posting periodically.
The purpose is to challenge you to see how much you know about America. We call ourselves 'Americans,' but do we really know what America really stands for? I believe it is particularly important to know about our Nation's history during this presidential election to see what really is important to us and what makes us the great nation that we are. I was shocked to find out how ignorant our students are regarding American History, particularly in AZ (where we proudly hold the 49th place nationwide for education)

I just received this "Action Alert" from the America Family Association and I wanted to pass it along so those of you who disagree with McDonald's decision on homosexual marriage can take a stand... I have done my part so far, and I have discontinued the little attachment I had to McD, since not only do they promote gay marriage, but support illegal immigration as well. - I know one of the requests for the following petition is to call your local McDonalds, so I wish you good luck trying to talk to an illegal allien who speaks little or no english-
McDonald's has refused a request to remain neutral in the culture war, choosing to continue support of the homosexual agenda. AFA wrote McDonald's asking the company do two things:
Remove McDonald's name and logo from the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Web site listing McDonald's as a "Corporate Partner and Organization Ally" of NGLCC. Remove the endorsement of NGLCC by Richard Ellis, Vice President of Communications for McDonald's USA, from the NGLCC Web site. McDonald's refused both requests. McDonald's donated $20,000 to NGLCC in exchange for membership in the NGLCC and a seat on the group's board of directors. The NGLCC lobbies Congress on a wide range of issues including the promotion of homosexual marriage.
This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals, or homosexuals eating at McDonald's, or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, choosing to put the full weight of their corporation behind promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.
Pat Harris, Global Chief Diversity Officer, Vice President, Inclusion & Diversity at McDonald's, responded:"I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our position on diversity." Notice that Ms. Harris said "reaffirm." Translated: McDonald's will not change their policy of supporting the NGLCC and their promotion of homosexual marriage.
Richard Ellis, who is openly homosexual, was given a seat on the NGLCC Board of Directors. He was quoted as saying: "I'm thrilled to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and ready to go to work. I share the NGLCC's passion for business growth and development within the LGBT community, and I look forward to playing a role in moving these important initiatives forward."
Addressing McDonald's promotion of social issues, McDonald's CEO Jim Skinner said earlier the company will aggressively promote the issues they approve. In remarks on its Web site, Skinner said: "Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are. We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world ... and we do."
Take Action!
Sign the online Boycott McDonald's petition and urge your friends and family to do the same. Print and distribute the Boycott McDonald's petition. Call your local McDonald's. Speak with the manager. Tell him or her (in a polite manner) that you will be boycotting McDonald's until they stop promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.
