Alabama Does It Again…
Just when you thought Alabama politics could not get any better, along comes Rick Barber, Republican candidate for the Congress in Alabama’s Second District.
He gets it.
There’s still hope for America — As long as we have Alabama:
I don’t know about you, but I’m already dreaming about Barber-Pelosi throwdown.
You can donate here to help send this patriot to Congress.

Three Cheers !
Great to see…
These Republicans continue to impress.
Christie is really showing how it is done on the State, Ryan – Boehner – Bachmann in Congress, etc., etc.
The list is long, a great team is growing.
We so wish the Tide is HIGH for 2010, so we can bring sanity back to this Country.

The new republicans running for office are willing to tell like it is. The incumbants not so much. Republicans incumbants seem obsessed with trying to get along with their colleagues but their dem collegeague are not trying to get along with anybody not even within their own party.

Dang! This guy says it like it IS!
jainphx commented:
The founders wanted “citizen” representatives to go to congress for a time and then return home, not to become lifetime politicians. Vote these new people in and all that old trash out. We must start over, do you realize that some of those “people” have been there for 40 or more years, and that they are now millionaires, just how did that happen.

And another great American in the same league:
“Les Philip swore to defend America against enemies, foreign and domestic.”
I found that video on http://theothermccain.com
(scroll down a bit)
It is ABSOLUTELY must be seen and perhaps the best political ad for November election in your country.
When the guys like Barber, Philip and above all great Allen West are taking on Obama it is no laughing matter.
Spread the message friends!
I posted it yesterday but that guy Les Philip is FFANTASTIC and is worthy to do it again.

Not at Ground Zero
[To put it bluntly, Ground Zero is the one place in America where Muslims should think less about teaching Islam and "our good side" and more about being American and fulfilling our responsibilities to confront the ideology of our enemies.]
more here & here..
and a traitorous disgrace!!
He noted that the three politicians’ campaign war chests are
heavily funded by radical Islamists who support the mosque.
["While brave young Virginia men and women are risking their lives to fight terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, Connolly, Moran and Kaine are yucking
it up with them and slapping each other on the back over at the Marriott,"
[..]
“Look at their Federal Election Commission reports,” Lafferty said. “These spineless politicians are owned and operated by the radical Islamists and their sinister front groups.”
Indeed, according to the book, “Muslim Mafia,” Connolly and Moran have received thousands of dollars in donations from several Virginia Islamists under federal investigation for financing terrorism. In addition, the book reveals, Connolly received an $18,758 windfall from the Saudi government’s U.S. public relations firm while fighting to keep open a Saudi-owned madrassa in Northern Virginia also tied to terrorism.
Dar Al-Hijrah hosted at least two of the 9/11 terrorists who attacked the Pentagon, as well as the Fort Hood terrorist and an al-Qaida sleeper agent convicted of plotting to assassinate President Bush. Ahmed Omar Abu Ali graduated valedictorian from the Saudi madrassa – Islamic Saudi Academy – in Alexandria, Va.
Lafferty says the mosque “has been directed by a string of radical imams, including former imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who has since been identified as
a commander in al-Qaida” and is wanted in connection with the Christmas Day airliner attack.]
Obama is the Jiahd, and sorry to say, but
way too many Americans have forgotten!!

I just love this ongoing series of dream-candidate ads!! We really are still a country with a heck of a lot of good decent folks and genuine heroes.
Just when the daily barrage of sh*t from Washington threatens to completely overhwelm, along comes someone like Rick Barber to give us hope! Like a vitamin B-12 shot for the soul.
Thanks for running these ads, Jim! Republicans with chutzpah–bring ‘em on!

Hee-hee! “Rick the Barber.” He looks like he’s got a straight razor up his butt.
Another one-note johnny who doesn’t know poop from peanuts but thinks he’s qualified to run for Congress.
Then again, he may be no more stupid that Joe Wilson or some of those other drooling cretins.

oh yeah, you might want to read up a bit about Belgium @ post #76..
ipso facto: it’s not the only country being Islamized.. and unless you want your great grandchildren or theirs living in the Ummah States of Allah, you had better believe we are under attack from within by Radical Islam, and whether he’s doing it intentionally or not matters not, they are most certainly being aided & abetted by the President of the US, Barack Hussein Obama..
[Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with
that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto.
[..]
Notice Abdul Malik’s reference to “Muslim nation”. Notice his reference to “regime change.” Notice the magic number of ‘50% Muslim’ where Abdul Malik’s Muslim political party (aka Muslim Brotherhood) can then control the electorate and enact their interpretation of “shar’ia’ law” as a majority
in their mobocracy. This was just a peek into Abdul Malik’s beliefs. He is no small fish in the American Islamist community. He is a protégé of Siraj Wahhaj, the well known Islamist and unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing. He is President of the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO) and the outreach director for Dar-Al Hijra mosque
in Northern Virginia. The CCMO represents more than 50 Muslim organizations and mosques in the D.C. area. This same group, true to Islamist separatist ideology recently signed a statement from the “grand pooba of Islamist organizations in the United States” (the American Muslim Task Force) suspending their relationship with the FBI. Hardly the action of a “mainstream Muslim group.”
[..]
“…even under the pressures that you and I know about, the deen of Islam is growing because people see even within all of this struggle it is better to be a Muslim under these conditions than to be a kaffir under any conditions… before Allah closes our eyes for the last time you will see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America-that’s where we are now- to being the first religion in America.”]

Oh… and all of those Harvard-Yale-Princeton grads are doing such a GREAT JOB with this economy… and increasing our national debt by the trillions… bringing us closer and closer into American serfdom…
That’s a GREAT FUTURE you’re sponsoring… all full of Harvard-Yale-Princeton grads who are doing just as great as those “Best and Brightest” who did such a terrific job with the Vietnam War!! (Remember McNamara?)
The rest of the population – they’re just the “rabble”, right? Dumb as rocks. “A Nation of Retards”, in your humble opinion.
I can’t wait till I see the day when that “Nation of Retards”, IYHO, take their pitchforks and torches… up yours!
Because those “dumb as rocks” are the ones who have MADE this country. You just want for them to clean your house and feed you like a big baby, right? Because you’re so smart!… Right?

I’d just like to take this opportunity to send Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid a BIG FAT WET KISS for forcing the Republican Party to finally grow a set of balls.
Barack Obama has been America’s Pearl Harbor, Part II. A sleeping giant has been awakened and filled with terrible resolve.
Thanx!

Alabamans – elect this guy!
He is what we need – someone that isn’t politically correct and tells it like it is!
Go Barber!
Tony Smith commented:
I like people who speak their minds too, but this was dumb. What on Earth does the Obama adminstration (or Congress) have to do with a proposed mosque in New York City? Answer: not much at all. I thought conservatives wanted limited government. Does he want the feds to ban a mosque in lower Manhattan? Um – that would violate the Constitution. And that’s not being politically correct. It’s being legally correct. Personally, I don’t care about any religion, but I do not that the law protects it.

Suppose you were a moron. And, suppose you were a liberal. But, I repeat myself.
I bet the idiot libtrolls are part of the one-in-eight that think Obama’s economic nonpolicy is good for the country. Or, the 20% so asinine as to still believe in liberal scumbaggism.
These idiots aparently believe that 17% unemployment; the Ocean of Mexico (Janet from another planet) coast covered with oil (BP big Obama financier), building muzzy jihad center a block from Ground Zero; etc. are good.
How can these filthy animals be so freaking stupid?

Rick Barber is sounding an alarm. He’s raising the consciousness of people who do not know a religion from a trojan horse.
The mosque was approved by a local board. The $4.85 Million to buy the land was received ‘mysteriously.’ Not so fast.
Banning a mosque at GZ would not violate the Constitution. It’s called local zoning, and this whole deal–from the supremacist name ‘Cordoba’ to the financing, the location, the opening date–all reek.
You keep being a legalist, Tony, and I’ll keep being a realist.
Rock commented:
Holy $hit, this is getting good, at last people who understand the threat and are willing to voice it. Take all the PC, and racist garbage off the table and focus on the threat. Why are our young men and women at risk overseas, if this administration is letting our enemies have a free hand in the Home Land? The Democratic Party, and the Republican Party to a lesser degree have been subverted by anti American scum, both need to clean house. These low lives are trying their best to turn us on each other, wake up the foxes are in the hen house and hungry, they needs to be ejected by any means allowed under the Constitution. And Politicians of this caliber offer that hope.

lets just try for correct okay..
perhaps you missed the part about RADICAL ISLAMISTS =
those connected to the 9/11 attacks amongst others.. hell-o??
fyi: now you know why Holder et al refuse to utter the words “RADICAL ISLAMISTS”, our sworn enemy, you know who they are, they’re the ones who declared a HOLY WAR on US & the WEST..
but since you fancy yourself knowledgeable of the US Constitution,
perhaps you’re the someone i’ve been long awaiting to hear from..
listen closely @ the 4:07 mark..
i’m still waiting for someone to please inform me as to whether
or not Muslims fulfill Zakat is any business of a US President??
how about Constitutional?? /sarc/

I grew up in Chicago. They had a way of dealing with problems like this.
“Nice mosque ya got there Achmed, It would be a pity if it had a.. you know… accident.
Ya know sometimes those union construction guys do a bad job of laying the foundation, or they don’t weld the girders to spec, or crap gets into the concrete and it doesn’t set up right…. accidents,… you know.
Burns commented:
It would be amazing if over 300+ Rick Barber-esque people get elected to the House this fall. Just think – Congressmen who actually care about the country they serve! Brilliant!

If the 3 guys that I have seen their ads for get into office in Alabama…may have to move there…looking more and more like a wellspring of commonsense is starting to bubble up there. Sure would be nice to partake of it!

Now that’s CHANGE I can HOPE for.
Lyndsey Fifield commented:
It’s easy for all of you – who don’t live in Alabama and don’t know what a complete joke this guy is – to say “wow, what a great guy! Elect him!” after watching a 3 minute video.
He made an 11th hour video on a controversial subject in order to jump on the viral video Alabama campaign ad craze. If you knew anything about this candidate you wouldn’t be so excited. Thank God nobody in Alabama is.
B. Ray Holland commented:
Well, Lyndsey, I do live in Alabama, and I know Rick Barber, and I am excited.
James commented:
I am getting the impression that maybe its time to move to Alabama if all these Republicans can get elected with commercials like these. Sounds like a great place to live.
Sarah commented:
Um, got to agree with Holland…seems like Lady Lyndsey is a woman scorned. I like Rick Barber aswell. We all are bloggers….Lyndsey, you are a blogger, I have seen your posts on blogs before, and I am not impressed, Rick Barber is taking a public personal stand, as you hide behind your computer and your “rumors”. And if I am wrong, how long have you known him, what is it you know…looked at your twitter profile, you look 12. (which the good thing for you is when your 50 you may look 30 but being ugly will give you wrinkles). I have read what he stands for on his congress page, heard him speak by watching Prattville’s Debate…and he is all over the Wiregrass. WE DO LOVE RICK IN ALABAMA and I hope that he is your next Congressman. I am excited too!
Lyndsey Fifield commented:
Gosh Sarah, thanks for the compliment… I’m 25… although I don’t see what that has to do with anything. Also, funny that you call yourself a blogger but you don’t post a link… oh, but *I’m* the scared one talking about rumors.
And I’m not a woman scorned, but I’m certainly not the only person who is wholly and completely embarrassed to have ever had anything to do with that sham of a campaign.
Thankfully, this will all be over in a week and he can go back to being a nobody bar owner who doesn’t have a clue about political process.
Anyone can seethe and shout into a flip cam for 5 minutes. How can any of you mock Obama Zombies for blindly falling in love with him when all it takes is some guy talking about radical Islam to convince you of his worthiness to lead?

I live in Andalusia, Alabama. I’ve met Rick Barber and heard him speak at the Farm Center.

Ohh man, i wish we could ban all muslim mosques , hell lets go further and get all christian, catholic, jewish, mormon places of worship banned. When will people realize its all the same, a neurological disorder.
Sarah commented:
Miss. Lyndsey, you didnt answer the my questions. So Mr. Barber is a buiness owner? Yes. Opened more than one business? Yes. All still open and successful? Yes. Created Jobs? Yes. Balances a budget? Yes, he is a successful business owner. Fought for our counrty? Yes, a Marine. Fighting for CD2 and standing up against Bobby Bright (D)? Yes. Is Rick a career politian? No. A lawyer? No.
Like many Americans, I am waking up and paying attention to downfall of this nation. I am getting involved..and blogging is all new to me. And like the adverage American, I have a cam phone too. And the thought of this “place of worship” opening date of 9-11-2011 and the history behind it. Please—Seriously, you are not offended in anyway?
So you were part of the campaign? If so what was your job? Did you leave or were you asked to leave? And what is it that we should know that you are so upset about? Because, yes in a week , I will be voting for Rick Barber!
Sarah commented:
sorry about all the typing and misspelled words…kinda in a hurry, dinner was on the stove….!
Lyndsey Fifield commented:
I’m not engaging in this nit-picking here any further. Considering that his campaign is run by a sociopath I could very well be talking to him right now, “Sarah.”
If you want to tweet or email me about it, that’s fine.
Sarah commented:
Oh, I see, now. You ARE a woman scorn…by the person that runs his campaign. Not Rick Barber….I am sorry that you feel the way you do, I hope that Rick will win your vote in November. Good luck to you and Rick Barber.
Lyndsey Fifield commented:
Laughing at the thought that he’ll be in the running in November.
Like I said, you can email me or tweet me if you’re an actual person. It’s my name at gmail.com.

Bree Adams commented:
You should research Rick further. Yes…he does own a profitable billiard hall. He has owned two actually. But those are side business opened mostly for billiard tournaments.
What you missed is he started a company called Inline that revenues several million as well in Alabama that he sold and stayed on to continue running. That is his primary business and it also profitable and has created jobs.
He is also a marine vet.
The opposition loves to throw around he is a “Pool hall” owner and fail to realize that is not his main business. It is a poor attempt to make him look weak…very poor.
He is a successful self made business man twice over. He knows how to create jobs. He knows the problems in working with health care as a business owner. He knows what it means to serve our country and put his life on the line.
If all you know about Rick is his successful, legal and popular side business that his wife runs is a billiard hall…then you are not doing YOUR research and are looking at putting the same twits in office that are tearing this country apart.
If we had more BUSINESS men in congress and less politicians we could balance our national checkbook.
As another small business owner who knows how to create jobs and not run my business into debt…I pray we get more like him in congress. At this rate small business will stop growing and opening because we are drowning in taxes.
I hope you research him closer.
