Tommy's last name add to the tile and promoted by Steven-

OK, it's official--I've had enough. This whole bruhaha started when former Mike Huckabee campaign chair, Chip Saltsman, gave his staff members, as a private Christmas gift, a CD of political parodies from the Rush Limbaugh show, written and performed by Paul Shanklin. Because the CD had one track (out of 41 tracks) on it titled "Barack The Magic Negro", Saltsman promptly was called a "racist" by the MSM, the lefty blogs, and by some members of the RNC. In fact, AOL Political Machine blogger, Tommy Christopher, has stated in a column that Chip Saltsman has "given the gift of racism" and that our own Erick Erickson has "presented an outright defense of the racist song". Here is Erick's response to Tommy. However, now that I have had a chance to digest this whole exercise in silliness, I would like the chance to address Tommy Christopher myself. So, here goes:

Israel has decided they can no longer stand having Hamas as a neighbor and remain a functional nation. They don’t mean this in a metaphorical sense, or as a philosophical complaint. They have reached the point of implacable vexation and have decided Hamas must be forcibly evicted from power on The Gaza Strip. This turn of policy will involve violence, precision homicide and a certain tragic level of collateral damage. Hence, the rational mind ponders what could have triggered such a reaction from the Jewish State.

August 2005 should mark the last time Israel does any business with Palestinian representatives until Hezbollah, Hamas and gore-mongering gaggle of other terror fronts have all been perpetually extirpated. The decision to withdraw 8,150 Jewish settlers from the region by force has been rewarded with a display of fireworks. According to Israel’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, it’s been non-stop fireworks.

Some Democrats are clearly worried about the new “Culture of Corruption” currently plaguing them in all three branches of government. From Rangel to Richardson to Senator Select Franken it’s a perfect storm of Corruption the likes of which even San Fran Nan has never seen!

Just do it.

2008 was one of the most interesting years in recent history. It held many surprises, which brought both reason to cheer and brought great disappointment. We experienced a historic and for conservatives very disappointing Presidential election. An economic down turn that shaped our economy and the election. Great strides in Iraq because of the tremendous efforts of Americas finest.

2009 will be another historic year and one that already holds surprises and disappointments. A new administration is preparing to take the helm of The United States Ship of State which promises change but in the preparation for taking over change is the last thing that has been shown.

So in light of the New Year and the promises or lack there of that it may hold for our future here is my effort at looking forward into the year and what it might bring. I make no claim to the ability to prognosticate nor pretend to be a Nostradamus. This is just a compilation of my opinion on what 2009 might hold. Without further ado I'll begin with sports.

As inauguration day moves closer, one detects an unusual air of anxiety among the chattering classes of the left. Even though the election is over and their man won it handily, they are hypersensitive to any criticism of him. What gives?
