3. what are we supposed to be talking about here? why is this a blog? everyone knows dogs are natural conservatives. they believe in freedom, defending their boarders, loyal to their base no matter how much they dont like em, happy, and attacking p*ssies (liberals) when they come around.

5. If you get a chance, Alan, ask Cesar if there’s anything you can do about annoying dogs (that you don’t own) that NEVER STOP BARKING. Other than confronting the owners or reporting them for disturbing the peace, I don’t guess there’s much that can be done.

6. Unfortunately, I’m not a pet lover… so I don’t have an intelligent comment to add here.

   Alan, did you post about PETA’s whole “breast milk for ice cream” thing? Man, that was crazy.

13. Dear Fox News,
    Let’s hear more about Barack Obama and William Ayers, Tony Rezko, Louis Farakhan, Rev. Wright and the other twisted teachers of that church. Let’s hear more specifically about the 95 to 100 million dollars of “pork barrel”, or the new spin word term “earmarks”, that Obama supported during his short “effort” in the Senate. Let’s hear more about the tax funding Barack Obama was able to aquire for ACORN, the black social organization which is now using that funding for political purposes. Let’s hear more about what his chosen religion was before he “converted” to christianity. Please give us more information about Barack Obama’s other brilliant community leadership accomplishments. So far, even Barack Obama has no idea of these things I’ve mentioned.

14. When one “converts” to a specific religion, that person rejects the previous religion of which he, or she, was involved. Therefore, what religion did Barack Hussein Obama “convert” from? Was he a Buddhist? Was he Aetheist? Was he a Hindu? Was he a Muslim? Was he a Jew? So far Barack Obama hasn’t mentioned what he “converted” from. In fact, Barack Obama hasn’t said anything of these things I’ve mentioned to question.

15. The Conservative,

    My understanding was that he was not religious prior to his ‘being led to Jesus’ w/ Rev. Wright.

16. I love the “voter” fraud v “election” fraud:
    The left is more concerned by problems like:

    The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O’Dell, chief executive of Diebold voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
    In heavily Democratic areas around Youngstown, where nearly 100 voters reported entering ”Kerry” on the touch screen and watching ”Bush” light up, at least twenty machines had to be recalibrated in the middle of the voting process for chronically flipping Kerry votes to Bush.(165) (Similar ”vote hopping” from Kerry to Bush was reported by voters and election officials in other states.)

    AND:

    Tens of thousands illegally denied voting rights
    In Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina, eligible voters were taken off rolls, and new registrations were blocked, illegally.

    WASHINGTON (AFP) – Tens of thousands of voters in at least six battleground states have been removed from election rolls or have been illegally blocked from registering to vote, according to an investigation by the New York Times published Thursday.
    On October 29th, a federal judge found that the Republican Party had violated the court orders from the Eighties that barred it from caging. ”The return of mail does not implicate fraud,” the court affirmed, and the disenfranchisement effort illegally targeted ”precincts where minority voters predominate, interfering with and discouraging voters from voting in those districts.” Nor were such caging efforts limited to Ohio: The GOP also targeted hundreds of thousands of urban voters in the battleground states of Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

    As for ACORN…..Of course the right hates them:

    From:
    Paul Weyrich, father of the right-wing movement and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation,
    : “Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good government. They want everybody to vote. I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.

    My comment was meant for those with a greater understanding than yourself. I recommend you brush up on your math, and comprehension skills which will enable others to understand you.

19. UM CARA,
    Your comprehension skills seem to diminish on a daily basis. If you could read, the words of Jesus never teaches what Rev. Wright speaks of. You might know this if you could read.

    …………………….

    But YOUR efforts are not?

    Here’s the thing:

    While I don’t want each side to simply talk to the choir, conservatives want to come onto a LIBERAL website, and use it to spread conservative talking points, rumors and trash talk the Democratic candidate.

    When Obama’s supporters refute your accusations, you call them one sided.

    You have to pay to comment on Rush Limbaugh’s site.
    I guess that’s a good way to avoid dissenting opinions.

    You have the same three insults you recycle for every response to anything you write. You are one boring dude.

    Anyway, since this will be the final post of yours I respond to – good luck. I hope you deal with your anger issues, or if you are just a troll who enjoys wasting other people’s time, I hope you find something more fulfilling to do with your life.

    Best wishes.

24. The Conservative: “If you could read, the words of Jesus never teaches what Rev. Wright speaks of. ”

    If you could read and stop fooling yourself that you’re such a great Christian, you’d recognize that MOST of your Republican so-called religious leaders aren’t actually practicing the same faith as the Jewish carpenter (that’s, uh, Jesus, in case you don’t get it).

    Read the Gospels sometime. He hung out with lepers and prostitutes, rebuked his disciples a lot, and downed the rich A LOT.

25. ALAN, by the way, great dog. Had one with the exact same build and features, only black. Everyone asked what breed she was, but we got her from the Humane Society. RIP, Maggie!

    Cesar Milan is a hottie.

26. Oh wow what a great pic! Thank you so much Alan for posting it. That wonderful picture is now saved on my computer. I’ve been watching Cesar Millan for a long time now and he is one truly amazing man. I do though, think he might be part dog or wolf. That’s got to be the explanation for his remarkable skills.

    I love all three of ya!

27. It never ceases to amaze methe idiocy of some people,here’s a perfect example. I’m sure Alan didn’t start this particular blog to hear your inane ramblings. I would think at least this blog could tie leftand right together even if for only a moment. Who doesn’t like mans best friend? Surely you could find some decent remark about a great and bipartisan picture. Alan, thanks for the picture and though I don’t have cable or sattelite I have watched Caesar Millans show, he truly is gifted when it comes to the canine world. I have a Great Dane, he’s a big baby, but when I come home from work, he’s so excited to see me I feel like a star!

28. I miss my Dane Faith, you are very lucky! And Danes are perfect, they don’t need Cesar’s training. Of course mine did eat two couches while he was growing up, but he always let me know he was sorry afterwards – so naturally he was instantly forgiven.

29. I’ve always wanted to tell Ceasar how his pricincples worked for me and my … son. I had been trying to teach him to ride a bicycle, he would constantly give up after only 5 minutes of tyring. (I kid you not) His fear, and a few falls were part of the problem. But mostly he was just stubborn, and didn’t want to put out the “trying” effort.

    Finally one day I put the picture in my head that he was going to ride today.. I went outside put him on the bike, and he took off. He’s been riding ever since. Of course all the “little” practices probably kicked in, but I just have this feeling that by not anticipating failure, I sent a different vibe to my son.
