On Tuesday, the NAACP voted on and passed a resolution calling the grass-roots conservative TEA Party movement “racist.” Ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black! Let’s look at this gross display of ignorance and hypocrisy up close, shall we?

First, the group is called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People! That’s right, this group has only one primary and stated goal, the advancement of one race… theirs. Doesn’t that seem a little racist to you? They collect money (tax free, by the way) and use it to promote the advancement of a single race. Not Asians, not Jews, not ‘crackers’ as the Black Panther’s respectfully refer to us Anglo’s as, but only colored people.

What about their enrollment? Oh, wait… They only allow blacks into their club. How can this be? I thought we were all created equally and should not be judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character? Hmmm… I’m no professional race-baiter like Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, but that to me sounds a little bit racist!

Let’s add one more fact to this moronic and hypocritical outrage from this group of hate mongers… They have no proof of any racism within the TEA party! You read that right… no proof!

I do not live in this district, but if I did I would certainly vote for Vernon Parker (right). He is a level headed conservative who has the right message and the right ideas for America. Oh, and he’s smart enough not to fall for this phony BS about racism where none exists simply to try and enhance membership numbers or voter rolls.

“I have not experienced the charges of racism that the NAACP is touting,” Vernon Parker, an African-American tea party congressional candidate in Arizona, told POLITICO.

Parker, former mayor of Paradise Valley, said that he has never felt out of place at a tea party rally because of the color of his skin.

“When I go to tea party events, people don’t look at me any differently,” he said. “They didn’t judge me on the color of my skin, quite frankly, they judged me on my principles."

"The NAACP should be concerned about bringing jobs to people in depressed areas,” he added, “not the tea party.”

Well said, my friend. It’s sad that so many minorities are hell-bent on finding racism around every corner that they can’t see the forest through the trees. Hopefully men like Vernon Parker and Tony Bouie (left), who took the time to go door to door and talk with me and my family about what’s important, will prevail and we can get some good conservative leadership in place for this state and for the country.

Here in Arizona, we have a very important decision coming up in August. There is a hotly contested Republican Senate primary race that is getting nastier by the day. John McCain, fresh from his conversion to a Republican, claims that he is the last and greatest protector of all that is conservative. Yet, he authored the cap and trade legislation as well as the amnesty bill which flies in the face of Arizona's overwhelming support for SB1070.

Now, however, he is in a run to protect his power, and that means making false claims, misrepresentations, and outright lies. He now claims to be against Cap and Trade... which he wrote. He also says now that amnesty is not a good idea... again, legislation he wrote! I'm also sick and tired of this 'maverick' label he keeps using. Give me a break... At his age, 'maverick' means staying up to watch Leno or going to Luby's after the early bird special expires at 4PM.

JD Hayworth on the other hand has his own issues. Among them, working as a lobbyist for a Florida company, which isn't a big deal to me. The guy lost his gig in Congress and needed to make a living. So be it. He is incredibly smart and articulate, and I agree with a lot of his politics. McCain has been playing a nasty campaign against JD claiming that his infomercial shilling for a company that showed people how to get free government money, which was later shut down due to unscrupulous activity, is somehow JD Hayworth's fault. Using McCain logic, you could then say that since his trophy wife owns the Budweiser distributorship here in Arizona, the beer contributes to drunk driving. Therefore, John McCain supports drunk driving! It's an asinine argument and one that I would not expect from a man in McCain's position. I guess class left his campaign some time ago.

The reason I am voting for JD Hayworth is this: Both claim to stand for / represent about 80% of what I believe should be done legislatively in this country. McCain has been in the Senate for over 20 years and has accomplished very little recently to further the Conservative agenda, but did orchestrate Campaign Finance Reform which arguably cost him the presidential election. So, if there are 2 people who represent the same ideals I have and one has been trying for 20+ years and hasn't accomplished anything meaningful lately, why not give another guy a chance? The worst he'll do is get nothing done, which is the same thing McCain is doing now.

On a side note, I thank GOD that the abysmal failure of a Mayor Phail Gordon will be out on his rear end. His political career in this state is in the proverbial crapper. His stance on SB1070 and his mocking of the 70%+ people that support it was the final nail in his political coffin.

Separated at birth? In this picture we have a respected and admired member of the community with hundreds of thousands of supporters… and Phail Gordon.

I’ve heard this phrase for the last couple of weeks or so, and I’m just as confused as everyone over who originated the remark. It’s a play on words from Tina Fey’s impersonation of Sarah Palin saying “I can see Russia from my house.” It’s amazing how many people think that Sarah Palin actually said those words. BTW, are Tina Fey’s 15 minutes up yet or is she still making abysmally bad TV shows?*

Anyway, I saw Dennis Miller on FOX News and he used the line, giving credit to Arizona Talk Radio personality Barry Young. Barry in turn gave credit to Sarah Palin who in turn gave credit to an anonymous sign holder at a recent rally she attended. To me, the question of who started the phrase is irrelevant. What I’m wondering is “what the heck are we doing to get that message out?”

Caution: Shameless plug ahead! Being the good capitalists we are at IHBF, we took it upon ourselves to once again spark up Photoshop and create a high quality, high DPI image that we’ve put on mugs, shirts, hats, and more. Show the Lib’s that the writing is on the wall by proudly sporting your “I can see November from my house” tee’s and mugs!

* According to Entertainment Weekly, 30 Rock has had consistently lower ratings than Cavemen and Viva Laughlin! Both of which were awesome shows in my opinion. Much better than 30 Rock starring that ‘catcher’s mitt with eyes’ Alec Baldwin.

It seems to me that liberals truly are stupid. Take for example the level headed and tolerant libiot Jason Levin. He runs a site (I won’t link to it) that is out to quiet the TEA Party message by disrupting our April 15th activities.

Mr. Levin said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15—tax filing day, when tea party groups across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes.

"Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn't an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, 'That's right, he's an alien from outer space!'" Levin said.

Isn’t it funny that these libiots still miss the point? They can’t argue with us in a constructive manner because their argument is baseless, unjustifiable, and defenseless. Despite having the entire MSM on their side, they still can’t dissuade people from joining, showing up, and voicing their first amendment rights at their disdain for the direction this once great country is heading.

I thought that during the Bush years, the lemmingcrats made it clear to all of us that dissention was as American as apple pie? They were voicing their dissatisfaction with the previous administration and damnit, we were ALL supposed to listen. But now that their anointed savior has been crowned, suddenly they want all dissenting voices quelled and silenced! Gee, Jason, what happened to extending us the same courtesy you “level headed” lemmings enjoyed a few years ago? Oh, right, it’s that whole liberal hypocrisy thingy.

I guess when your arguments are baseless and your platform riddled with hypocrisy and double speak, you have to resort to these infiltration tactics to try and get your way. It will be interesting to see if the MSM will question footage of a liberal operative acting in an embarrassing way as being that of an organized disruption campaign. Nah, who am I kidding, they will lap up any and all footage of these operatives and their statements and actions and parade it around as if it is rampant throughout the entire TEA Party movement. We know better, and that’s why their viewership is lower than Jason Levin’s IQ.

Last week, a picture hit the internet showing a billboard with a friendly George W. Bush waving and asking “Miss Me Yet?” People were blogging and speculating as to whether the billboard, outside of Wyoming, Minnesota, was real or a Photo-shopped prank. Turns out, it was real!

The creators are a "group of small businessmen and individuals who just felt like Washington was against them," according to an employee of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising. The group also wishes to remain anonymous.

Aside from the clever message, the buzz over the billboard is a clear indication of how vibrant outdoor advertising can become, even in an Internet age.

"They are arguably more relevant than they ever were," says Dave Etherington, worldwide marketing director for Titan, which handles advertising on transit systems around the US. "A key thing about a billboard or a large ad ... it has the power to stop you in your stride that comes from the incongruity of seeing something in a public space where you're not conditioned to expect something."

Forget the ad, the message is something we’ve been saying for several months now. With that in mind, our graphics guy decided to take the public image and create a t-shirt and mug design with the popular slogan. The items are available now through out Cafe Press Store.

I don’t like to use blog postings as a marketing tool, but that picture of Bush with that smile and the slogan fit so perfectly that we just had to take a second and toot our own horn.

BTW: Yes, we do miss the good ol’ days. My mug is on it’s way!
