On Hiatus
Apr 12, 2009 - I’ll be taking a hiatus from updating Conservative Punk. I can be found in the meantime at http://www.Parcbench.com.

While Arriana seems to prefer the foreign policy of wishful thinking, Will is firmly grounded in reality. [read more] Posted by Rizzuto Obama advisor: No new taxes...uh...except that massive new tax Mar 31, 2009 - Lawrence Summers, President Obama's chief economic adviser, declared recently that "Let's be very clear: There are no, no tax increases this year. There are no, no tax increases next year." Oh yes, yes, there are. The President's budget calls for the largest increase in the death tax in U.S. history in 2010.

Mar 27, 2009 - Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America . He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1911. As a candidate for President of the U. S., Norman Thomas said, in a 1944 epoch speech: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."[read more] Posted by Rizzuto Here's to you, Mr Jefferson...

The Blair/Brown duo rose to power in Britain on the same wave of hope 'n change that Obama did, with nearly identical promises. Make no mistake about it, although Tony Blair was a steadfast ally to George W. Bush, he bankrupted the UK with social programs, much in the same way Obama will do here in the US. This member of the European Parliament is named Daniel Hannan, and is a self described "backbench MEP". Perhaps not backbench for long.

[read more] Posted by Rizzuto You know what really grinds my gears? Transit Prices. Mar 24, 2009 -  I’m sorry to tap a topic as localized and self indulgent as the price of mass transit here in New York City, but the recent announcement by the Metropolitan Transit Authority that they’ll be increasing fares and cutting service next month really grinds my gears. How does this play nationally you ask? As Nicole Gelinas rightly pointed out today, 2/3rds of the economic stimulus money I’m supposed to receive beginning next month (about 33 dollars), is going to be swallowed up by the increased fares. That should leave me just about enough for a number 2 value meal at McDonalds when all is said and done. What should this experience teach us? No matter how much money the incompetent son of a bitch at the top promises to you, there’s some incompetent son of a bitch just below him ready to gobble it up before it ever lands in your wallet. Can someone please explain to me how the Metropolitan Transit Authority, an agency with a monopoly on transportation in one of the world’s largest cities, can’t manage to turn a profit?

Posted by Rizzuto  Obama: Give me more power or the earth goddess will punish you Mar 24, 2009 - Seems The One is moving ahead with his Cap and Trade agenda. This from the Fargo Forum: President Barack Obama acknowledged the current flood emergency in the Red River Valley on Monday, and warned that global warming could lead to similar disasters in the future.Is anyone else disgusted at the idea that Obama is using natural disasters as justification for an increase in federal power? Anyone cringe at the idea that only a robust federal environmental policy can appease the earth goddess Gaia with cap 'n trade sacrifices? I didn't think so. Go back to sleep. [read more] Posted by Rizzuto Kroft to Obama: Are you punch drunk? Mar 23, 2009 - As I was watching Obama's interview with Steve Kroft last night, I couldn't stop asking myself, why the heck is this guy laughing? Obviously, Kroft had the same idea and I nearly fell over in my chair when he actually asked about it. Obama responded that gallows humor keeps him sane but to me, laughter in a situation like this tells me that he's very uncomfortable. Click [read more] for video! [read more] Posted by Rizzuto Sen.

[read more] Posted by Rizzuto El Loco: Obama is an "ignoramus" Mar 22, 2009 - Hugo Chavez had some choice words for our Teleprompter in Chief. This from Reuters: Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama was at best an "ignoramus" for saying the socialist leader exported terrorism and obstructed progress in Latin America.All I can say is that the mouth-breathers over at the Democratic Underground must be tearing their hair out trying to figure out who to defend on this one. Where's the chorus of left wing voices screaming that Obama is making the world hate us? By my count, President Obama is on his way to surpassing in 60 days, the amount of leaders President Bush took 8 years to alienate. Two of the primary states Obama promised to engage as part of his new foreign policy were Venezuela and Iran. In a matter of one week, both have told him to f*ck off. Heck of a job Obama.

However, they're going to have to eventually change it because let's face it, "Man caused disaster" is kind of sexist. Why don't we call it "Person caused disaster"?

Leave it to The One to turn what's supposed to be a softball, powder puff of an interview into a disaster. Where's Kanye West to say "Barack Obama doesn't care about retarded people." Jim Treacher has a run down of the one liners that Obama missed yesterday. [read more] Posted by Rizzuto Obama Messing With Veterans Benefits Mar 19, 2009 - Obama seems to always be interested in providing health care to every American... but apparently not enough to end a terrible bill that would take this away from Americans who sustain wounds in combat. This from Military.com: The Obama administration is considering making veterans use private insurance to pay for treatment of combat and service-related injuries.Definitely not good -- as someone who just got out of the Army, without any disability or any of that, I still feel that this is really a betrayal of the fighting force and the military as a whole. Democrats seem to always be interested in cutting benefits for people who served the country and desire to give it to needle exchanges for the drug users who pollute our nation. It is almost as if the more upstanding a person is, the less they deserve from the government in the eyes of the Left.

Here he is again, the gift that keeps on giving: [read more] Posted by Rizzuto Obama Silently Ends 9/11 Policy Allowing Pilots to Carry Guns Mar 17, 2009 - Because you know...they just can't be trusted. h/t Ace [read more] Posted by Rizzuto |

McCain needs to pick a conservative V.P. because talk is cheap
It is often said that the person picked as a presidential candidate’s running mate is of little significance as far as whether or not a particular candidate will win an election or not. I can only speak for myself here ...
