My Dick

I’ve listed previously why I love Dick Cheney. I love him even more after today. When the Fearful Leader of the Free World was so intimidated by Dick Cheney’s scheduled speech at the AEI, he grabbed his teleprompter and headed for a camera, it was more glaring proof the U.S. voted in a juvenile to do a man’s job.

Remember The Holocaust?

I received this email from a Texas cousin. Wonder if any of these images will pass through Barry Soetoro’s mind when he sits down for chat with the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

DID THE HOLOCAUST HAPPEN?

Of course it did. And it’s happening now in places like Zimbabwe , Sudan , North Korea , and terrorists in Pakistan want it to happen here in the USA .

 Never forget what one madman can do when given absolute power….

It ’s a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect: ‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the track of history some b*stard will get up and say that this never happened’ 

These photos were taken in  Germany  by James Emison Chanslor, an Army Master Sergeant who served in World War II from 1942 until 1945.

‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing’ 
Edmund Burke 

This week, the  UK  removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offended’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. 

This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving in to it.

 It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in  Europe  ended. 

This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 
six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way!
Now, more than ever, with  Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

I don’t think the world has forgotten. It just stopped caring. I wonder if it ever cared? Maybe it is like more recent history. Some folks don’t think 9/11/01 was such a big deal.

Check Sandy Berger’s Drawers

National Security? When it comes to Barry Soetoro’s birth certificate, college transcripts and medical records, this administration has called up the two-headed dogs from the gates of hell to protect them. Too bad the records in the National Archives aren’t as important.

May 19, 6:44 PM (ET)

By LARRY MARGASAK

WASHINGTON (AP) – The National Archives lost a computer hard drive containing massive amounts of sensitive data from the Clinton administration, including Social Security numbers, addresses, and Secret Service and White House operating procedures, congressional officials said Tuesday.

The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation of the matter, according to Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and senior committee Republican Darrell Issa of California.

Issa called for the Archives acting director, Adrienne Thomas, to appear before a committee panel Thursday to “explain how such an outrageous breach of security happened.”

“This egregious breach raises significant questions regarding the effectiveness of the security protocols that are in place at the National Archives and Records Administration,” he said.

Egregious? pffftt…Yeah, Sandy Berger is still reeling from the firm slap on his dainty little wrist after he was caught stuffing papers from the Archives in his drawers.

Bibi And The Ligner

Pres. Soetoro explains to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu why EVERYONE loves him:

Bibi has his doubts:

Bibi tells Hillary about it:

Child Rapists Protection Act

If you catch a disgusting deviant raping your infant, toddler or child, newly-passed H.R. 1913 prevents you from forcibly removing, yelling at or calling that individual a name that is not politically correct. You will be arrested and charged under the ‘Hate Crimes Act’ which prohibits free speech and replaces the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America with “progressive” thought police.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa feels (like anyone with even a modicum of functioning brain cells) that this legislation gives a pass to pedophiles, which is a nice word for those who torture, rape, destroy the internal organs and inflict a lifetime of psychological torment on infants, toddlers and children.

Of course, the “Progressive” Majority in the House doesn’t see it that way. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-FL, a former Carter-appointed U.S. District Judge who was impeached and removed from office by the U.S. Senate sees it this way:  This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all of these ‘Philias’ and fetishes and ‘isms’ that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.

BiBi and Barry

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is coming to Amerika today. He’ll be meeting with U.S. President Barry Soetoro. According to “diplomatic officials”, they are hoping to establish “trust and confidence in one another”. (That is a very difficult line to type when you’re holding your side to keep it from splitting and tears are streaming down your face).

I can see the meeting now:

BiBi: Ahmadenijad denies the Holocaust and wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Barry, reading from TOTUS:  I have heard that. Let me assure you and the so-called nation of Israel that I plan to have a meaningful conversation with Pres. Ahmadinejad of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

BiBi: Hamas is lobbing bombs into Israel and blowing themselves up on school buses and in stores and restaurants.

Barry, reading from TOTUS:  I have heard that. Let me assure you and the so-called nation of Israel that I plan to have a meaningful conversation with Khaled Meshal, leader of the Hamas Freedom Fighters about allowing all you Jews to live in the Islamic Republic of Palestine. I call it the Two State Solution.

BiBi: .Embecile נכונים. הוא מהווה Sarkozy and Merkel

Rosen and Weissman Vindicated

Do you know who Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman are? If you Google their names, chances are the first few pages will be blogs and “news” media posts from every fringe left Jew-hating organization known to man. (Since Al Gore sits on the board of Google, conservative researchers are used to schlogging through left wing propaganda when they Google anything. But that’s a story for another day…).

Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman set a precedent in the annals of the Justice System. They were the first private citizens prosecuted under the 1917 Espionage Act for mishandling classified information obtained through conversation. Their case could have made much of national-security journalism and foreign policy lobbying a federal crime. 

In August 2005, the U.S. Dept. of Justice handed down a 5-count indictment against Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman.

Yesterday, justice was served in this case when the USDOJ filed a motion to dismiss the charges. On Monday, Steve Rosen is submitting a transcript for a book to be published covering his almost-five-year ordeal. I plan to order an advanced copy.

In the meantime, I’ll continue my daily reading of Obama Mideast Monitor where Steve and others educate the American people by “outing” every anti-American, Jew-hating, Communist-loving, Fringe Left appointee and wannabe appointee by U.S. President Barry Soetoro. 

Barry the Risée

Dr. Jack Wheeler sat down with a French Military Intelligence Officer in Paris. They talked about U.S. President, Barry Soetoro.

“My agency considers him a joke,” he confides.  “Every day there is some fresh lunacy that we cannot believe.  Mr. Bush would often make us angry.  But at this man we just laugh.”

“In truth, it also makes us sad,” he continued.  “French resentment towards America is strong, so being able to laugh at your country feels good.  But it is such a sad and strange thing to see America – America The Great! – do something so crazy as to elect this ridiculous man.”

“There are many people in America who think he isn’t a legitimate president as he wasn’t born in the US and isn’t a natural citizen.  What do you think?” I asked.

He shrugged.  “I wouldn’t know.  I’ve never had reason to make an inquiry.”

“There are a lot of people convinced he is a traitor who hates America and is actively determined to destroy it.  Any opinion on that?”

He didn’t shrug at this.  After a long slow sip of wine, he mused, “I would not go that far.  Many of his actions, however, are very puzzling because they are so counter-productive regarding America’s best interests.  There seems to be a consistent pattern in that direction.”

“What does Sarkozy think of him?”

“Nothing but contempt.”

After a pause he asked, “And Langley?”

“Well, if you thought the war they waged against Bush was intense, it was nothing compared to how they’re going to screw Obama.  He has tried to gut them with the ‘torture memo’ release and slashing their budgets.  The morale is depressed, sullen, and enraged.  You know what a left-wing outfit Langley is.  They thought he was their boy and they feel betrayed.  All kinds of damaging stuff on him will be appearing via their media friends.”

He nodded.  “And in Tel Aviv City?”

He was referring to the huge underground city complex of Langley’s underneath the US Embassy in the Israeli capital.  “That’s an interesting question.  You know how vast and deep the relationship is there.  Langley is making every effort to overcome the total and massive distrust their Israeli colleagues have for Obama, whom they know is selling them down the Jordan River.  So far though this effort is in words.  The Israelis are waiting to see what Langley does.”

He said nothing.  I smiled.  “You guys wouldn’t be Langley’s cutout for thwarting BO regarding Israel, would you?  I’d never suspect that…”

He continued to say nothing, gave me only a slight smile in return, and poured me another glass of wine.  “The Bordeaux is good, yes?”  I nodded.

“You know, the French media worships this man the same as yours in the US.  All of this ‘100 days’ talk, it is impossibly stupid.  Most anyone in the French elite, the business leaders, Sarko’s people, they all know this.  They all think this is some crazy joke of the Americans.  But it is a very, very dangerous joke.  For 100 days your president has been a laughingstock among the tout le monde  No one may be laughing 100 days or 10 months from now.”

He leaned forward.  “The world can go – how do you say – sideways with this man very quickly.  No one he has working for him knows what they are doing – possibly excepting Mrs. Clinton – and he certainly does not.  All of us in our little community are worried – us, our friends in Berlin, London, Tel Aviv, and Langley too as you say.  It is not like the  barbarians at the gates.  It is everythere are no gates.  The Somalis, Chavez, Iran, Putin, Beijing, the ‘Norks” as you call them, the list is long and it is growing.  We are not sure what to do.”

It took me a moment to respond.  “The best thing that has happened now is Obama making Langley his enemy.  They will be cooperating with you more, be more a part of your worried community.  Working together, you can undermine his efforts more effectively, block and maybe even repair the damage.”

It was my turn to lean forward.  “Then again, all together you could be more pro-active.  The man is a mystery.  Nobody can make public his actual birth certificate, or even the particular hospital he was born in, or his college grades, or how he got into Harvard, or how he made editor of the Harvard Law Review and never wrote a single article for it.  It goes on and on.  He really is a Zero.  I think all of you guys should find all of this out and make it known.”

I added, “The quicker the better, before the laughing stops and the real dangers begin.”

“What is that phrase you use?” he asked.  “Something to consider?”

I laughed.  “Yes, there is much to consider – and much that you can do.  I mean, really, if the Soviet Union could be dismantled, so can this presidency.”

It was a beautiful April afternoon in Paris.  He walked me back to my hotel.  It could be that the times we live in may get even more interesting.

Calling Patrick Fitzgerald

Who “outed” 2 covert CIA operatives to the All Barry Channel?

Wait, that’s not the scandal. The scandal is these guys earned A THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY! (Gross underpayment, if you ask me.) AND they were INEXPERIENCED! (Except for the U.S. military program to train pilots how to survive behind enemy lines and resist brutal tactics- but who cares?) AND they are responsible for the WATERBOARDING PROGRAM and EVERYONE knows WATERBOARDING IS TORTURE and the U.S. should NEVER TORTURE mass serial killers for information! (Waterboarding is way too tame, for my taste.) AND (by far the WORST scandal) REFUSED to break the terms of their respective CIA contracts and reveal to ABC classified information! (My God, could it be any worse?!)

I say, call Patrick Fitzgerald immediately. These 2 patriot warriors need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of whatever the living, breathing U.S. Constitution can be amended to call for! Good Lord, what will Cuba and Venezuela think about all this? We have to think about our reputation in parts of the world where it truly matters!

Next, Special Investigator Fitzgerald should completely overlook the individual responsible for the “outing”, go straight to 1600  Pennsylvania Avenue and indict Karl Ro…I mean, someone, anyone in the White House. And make sure it’s a Jew. Any Jew’ll do.

ALL HAIL!

Or should I say, all Hell? To His Excellency Global Community Supreme Potentate Barack Hussein Obama.

As a young child, Barry Obama showed remarkable intelligence and athletic ability, and also proved to be extraordinarily manipulative, able to bend others to his will with relative ease. His handlers arranged for his mother to be eliminated, and Barry himself eventually demanded the dispatch of his “father,” a key to his rise to power. With his advisers and counselors, Barry formed a successful alliance, which quickly made him a millionaire. However, he quickly grew bored with community organizing and, guided by the “kingmaker” George Soros, set his sights on politics.

At a young age, Barry stepped into the political scene as the junior senator from Illinois. Throughout his swift rise to global prominence, he feigned humility, saying he wished only to serve and denying that he ever sought power.

Barry quickly began effecting changes to the U.S., converting it into the Global Community and appointing himself as that government’s Supreme Potentate. After he raised Soros from the dead, he styled himself “His Excellency Global Community Supreme Potentate Barack Hussein Obama.” Eventually, Barry became a dictator, while still portraying himself as a benevolent pacifist.

What will the future hold? Stay tuned to watch Barry proclaim himself God, demand that everyone on Earth worship him and establish Obamamania as the only legal religion on Earth.

Will the Tribulation Force be able to expose this charlatan to the world? Why is it that only those who carry the mark of The Christ Jesus see Barry for what he truly is? For answers to these and other questions, pick up a copy of The Holy Bible and turn to the Book of Revelation.

LEADERS OF THE TRIBULATION FORCE

Back in The USSR. You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are, Boy.

Celebrations are being held all over the place now that Barry Obama has been elected President of the World.

His HAMAS pals got so excited they fired a few rockets that accidently landed on Israel.

Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev got so worked up over Barry, affectionately known as Barry The Red in the motherland, he announced that he will deploy missiles to the Baltic Sea territory.

Venezuelan militants were really whooping it up in the homeland of Black Supremacy Theology Socialism. “It allows us all to dream a little,” said Oswaldo Calvo, 58, a Venezuelan “political activist”.

Poseidon, God of the Sea, has even decided to make a splash!

BRO’S BEFORE HO’S

From Carl Cameron’s report at Fox News (see below), it appears Gov. Palin is being stomped down, thrown under and run over by the bus driven by McCain campaign staffers. It’s obvious they’re trying to deflect blame for doing a lousy job. Gov. Palin has a job to return to where she enjoys an 80+% approval rating in a state where she is beloved. These behind-the-sceners not only did one of the worst jobs in presidential campaign history, now they’re effectively publicly declaring themselves as morally bankrupt, whiny milquetoasts. I doubt that there will be a line of prospective employers behind any of them.

Looking out for YOU

“If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”   Barack Hussein Obama

Mr. Obama’s spokesman, Bill Burton, downgraded the Obama plan to “something that we pursued with the FEC and it was an option that we wanted on the table and is on the table.” Asked about the campaign’s earlier position, Mr. Burton said, “No, there is no pledge.” 

“Barack Obama rejected public funding for the fall presidential campaign.”

“With $605 million already, Obama asks only $10 more from each of us“.

“With the help of a larger Democratic majority in the Senate, President-elect Obama will likely push for early passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The bill (H.R. 2831, S. 1843).”

“If I help him, he’s gonna help me”.  Peggy Joseph, Obama campaign rally

Indianapolis – Lines were long and tempers flared Wednesday not to vote but to get paid for canvassing for Barack Obama.

“I want my money today! It’s my money. I want it right now!” yelled one former campaign worker.

A former spokesman for the Obama campaign said 375 people were hired as part of the Vote Corps program and said people signed up to work three-hour shifts at a time. Three hours of canvassing got workers a $30 pre-paid Visa card.

The workers showed up to get their cards Wednesday morning at 10:00 am.

“There was a note on the door saying 1:00 pm and then at 1:20 pm everybody was like why is nobody here. They just got here and they’re trying to get it organized,” said Heather Richards, a former campaign worker.

Eventually people did start getting paid, but some said they were missing hours and told to fill in paperwork making their claim and that eventually they would get a check in the mail.

“Still that’s not right. I’m disappointed. I’m glad for the president, but I’m disappointed in this system,” said Diane Jefferson, temporary campaign worker.

“It should have been $480. It’s $230,” said Imani Sankofa.

“They gave us $10 an hour. So we added it. I added up all the hours so it was supposed to be at least $120. All I get is $90,” said Charles Martin.

“I worked nine hours a day for 4 days and got paid half of what I should have earned,” said Randall Waldon.

Some people weren’t satisfied with filling out a claim form for money they felt was still due to them.

“They say that they gonna call you or they going to mail it to you, but I don’t know. We’ll see what happens,” said Antron Grose.

“Talking about they’ll mail it to us. I ain’t worried about that, man. They’re not going to mail nothin’,” said Martin.

Here’s the problem. The workers obviously didn’t understand Barack Hussein Obama’s economic policies. Let me explain. He’s not going to pay you out of his own $600mil. He’s going to tax me into the poor house, then he’ll use the money I worked for to pay you. Got it?

 

Now THIS is real patriotism

Okay, all you Nazi-fems out there who are constantly babbling about your vaginas–It’s time to DO something with them–For the love of your country!

Who Am I?

I was raised in one country but my father was born in another. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with a number of women.

I became very close to my mother because my father showed little interest in me. Then my mother died at an early age from cancer. Later in life, questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a reliable birth certificate.

I grow up practicing one faith, but converted to Christianity because this was widely accepted in my country. But I practiced nontraditional beliefs and did not follow mainstream Christianity.

I worked and lived among lower class people as a young adult before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics when I was in my 30s and then burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office when I was in my 40s. I had a virtually nonexistent resume, very little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker who managed to draw incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy. I was critical of my country in the last war. But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy. I had a plan on how we could do better. I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

Mine was a People’s Campaign. I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support. I offered the people the hope that together we could change our country and the world.

I spoke on behalf of the downtrodden including persecuted minorities such as Jews, but my actual views were not widely known until after I became my nation’s leader. However, anyone could have easily learned what I really believed if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. But they did not.

Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

Who am I?

HEALING THE RACIAL DIVIDE

I must confess that I did not know about the huge racial divide that splits our country in two until the mainstream media started obsessing about it soon after their candidate, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro, began his presidential campaign. I have since learned from Barry’s mentors, friends, family, colleagues and associates such things as: “Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich, white people”; “White supremacy” has a “troubling endurance” in American life; There is a “genocidal plan against black people”.

My eyes have certainly been opened! Now many are opining that our new president-elect will heal the gaping wound of racism that separates us.

I SEE THE “HEALING” HAS BEGUN AND BEFORE INAUGURATION DAY, TOO!

 

PAID VACATION FOR A BARRY CERBERUS

Randy Ludlow of the Columbus Dispatch is reporting that a cerberus for Barry Soetoro has been placed on paid administrative leave, aka “a vacation”.

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland placed the director of the Department of Job and Family Services on paid leave today for possibly using a state computer and e-mail account for political fund-raising. E-mails obtained today by The Dispatch show that Helen Jones-Kelley’s e-mail account was used to assist the presidential campaign of Democrat Barack Obama in raising money.

The state e-mails show Jones-Kelley provided the Obama campaign with the names of 17 potential Dayton-area contributors ahead of the candidate’s July 11 appearance there. On July 8, the director offered to write a $2,500 check to the campaign to join Obama at his appearance, volunteered to contact would-be contributors and offered to help arrange an event for Michelle Obama, the candidate’s wife.

The inspector general already was investigating if job and family services computers were used illegally to obtain confidential information on “Joe the Plumber,” a Toledo-area man popularized by Republican John McCain.

The question now is, “What will Barry’s other cerberuses do to Ludlow and Strickland?”  Will they play the race card, publically smear them or just attack them enmasse, tear their shirts open, rip out their hearts and eat them in front of the master?   Stay tuned…..

 

WHO LET THE (BLUE) DOGS OUT

Mike Soraghan from The Hill is reporting that “Blue Dog Democrats called on the Democratic Caucus to support more moderate voices in the slew of leadership decisions the party will be making this month.”

UNCONFIRMED: When called to respond to the request by the Blue Dogs, Nancy Pelosi, aka “Dear Leader”, said, “HAHAHAHA…those guys crack me up….HAHAHAHAHA…..stop, you’re going to make me pee my pants….HAHAHAHA.

Barry’s Kenyan Cerberus Crowing

Loyal cerberus to Barry Soetoro, Prime Minister Raila Odinga of Kenya has stopped barking and started crowing!

Some excerpts from The Nation:

The Obama bonus is on its way — and it could mean greater prosperity for Kenya.

The Prime Minister spoke out as it was revealed that he and other Kenyan leaders had played a small but crucial part in helping to propel Mr Obama to the White House.

President Kibaki and Mr Odinga were consistent in their support for the US President-elect — and the Prime Minister had personally helped to block a smear campaign planned by supporters of Mr Obama’s Republican rival, Senator John McCain.

Further attempts to tarnish Mr Obama’s image among the Americans backfired when contentious author Jerome Corsi was invited to leave** Kenya, even as he tried to launch at book in Nairobi which was a sustained attack on the Democrat’s candidate.

Mr Corsi, an author frequently criticised for the bias and factual inaccuracies in his writings, had attempted to link Mr Obama through Mr Odinga to both communism and radical Islam.

Mr Corsi had also planned to visit a Nairobi slum where Mr Obama’s half brother had been reported as living ion reduced circumstances, effectively raising the question of the candidate’s ability to care for his own relatives, even as he sought to lead the US.

The author said he planned to donate cash to Mr Obama’s half brother.

Mr Corsi’s book, The Obama Nation, features Kenya prominently, and portrays the Prime Minister as a close associate of the President elect, and as “a Muslim sympathiser with well-known communist political roots”.

Mr Corsi said in his book that Kenya would play a key part in his “account because “Barack Obama himself tells us that Kenya is an important part of who he is, even today.”

In the event Mr Corsi was found to have entered Kenya posing as a tourist and without the permit needed to work as an author launching a book. He was therefore invited to leave or face deportation.

Mr Odinga described the attempts to link Mr Obama to Islam when he is in fact a Christian as rubbish.

“What these people were trying to do is completely unfounded. They just wanted to smear Mr Obama’s name,” he added.

 **INVITED TO LEAVE-Kenyan phrase-TRANSLATION: Ensconce in a detention facility under submachine-armed guards w/o passport, cellphone.                                                                                   

 

VA 5th District Voter Fraud

My Sister is a Psychic!

My sister took a break from the living the high life in Vegas and called on Wed., the day after the election. She (we) were pleased that Virgil Goode (R-VA) had won in her district and my old district. With 100% of the precincts reporting, Rep. Goode had won by 446 votes.

“You just wait, though”, she said, “they’ll keep counting until they find enough votes for Perriello to beat Virgil”.

Cue the Twilight Zone theme….doo doodoo doo doodoo do….

ThursdayMorning:  

According to The Associated Press, the lead switched hands a couple of times Wednesday as election officials corrected errors and counted absentee ballots. Perriello was ahead of Goode by 31 votes.

Thursday Afternoon:                                               

600 VOTES for Perriello were “found” in Charlottesville that hadn’t been counted. Perriello up by 648.

Friday Afternoon:                                              

Perriello up by 751. Declares victory. Virgil hasn’t conceded and he damned-well better not!

Barry’s Senior Foreign Policy Adviser

WASHINGTON [MENL] — Presidential-elect Barack Obama has promised to improve U.S. relations with Egypt and Syria. Aides said Obama had sent senior foreign policy adviser Robert Malley to Egypt and Syria over the last few weeks to outline the Democratic candidate’s policy on the Middle East.

 

 

Jew know Palestine’s Propaganda Minister, Robert Malley, don’t Jew? He is to the PLO as Joseph Goebbels is to the SS. Jew know his favorite co-author, adviser to Yasser Arafat, Hussein Agha, don’t Jew?

To the 78% of Jews who voted for Barry: Have you forgotten the beginning of the first holocaust, KRISTALLNACHT? It began 70 years ago this week.

HOW FITTING…… 

Barry’s Pal Sig

A recent article on Politico about Michael Signator (“friend,” “longtime aide”,”former bodyman”, whose job is to provide “supplemental security support” for Barack Obama) peaked my curiosity. According to the article, Obama spends a good deal of time at Signator’s when he’s at home, working out in his building’s gym or just “hanging out”. Obama spends so much time in Signator’s building, that the other residents have stories about running into him in the elevator.  Obama’s presidential campaign refuses to reveal the details of Signator’s role, “for security reasons”. RED FLAG ALERT.

Despite being described as ”a police officer in a suburban Chicago town”, Signator owns a home in DuPage County and rents an apartment on the 16th floor of Regents Park, located just a few blocks from Obama’s house in the Kenwood neighborhood. He has been paid $2900 a month from the Obama campaign since March of 2007.

A little digging (by me) turned up Michael Signator’s membership in Burnham Park Yacht Club. How does a policeman on the payroll of a presidential campaign for less than three grand a month afford a mortgage, rent in a high falutin’ high rise and membership in a yacht club?

Who IS Michael Signator?

Radical Jihadists Still Celebrating

Six days after the USA elected its first antisemitic terrorism apologist and second socialist to the office of the presidency, radical muslims here and abroad are still celebrating!

BAGHDAD — A homicide bomber struck Monday in a crowd that had gathered where an explosion moments earlier damaged a bus full of schoolgirls, with both blasts killing at least 31 people and wounding 71 others, officials said.

The Interior Ministry, which controls the police, gave the casualty figure of 31 dead and 71 wounded. A check of four hospitals in the Baghdad area provided the same count.

An Interior Ministry official speculated that extremists may have sought to “send a message” to President-elect Barack Obama about “the real situation in Iraq,” pressure the government not to sign a new security agreement with the United States or embarrass the ruling parties ahead of regional elections in January.

KEEP FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERROR AND THEIR APOLOGISTS!!!

HAPPY VETERAN’S DAY

One of my very favorite videos.

Brought To You Courtesy of the RED, WHITE AND BLUE

Three years ago thousands of Shi’ites were crossing The Bridge of the Imams in Baghdad, Iraq for a pilgrimage to the Kadhimiya shrine. A Hussein loyalist pointed a finger at someone, claiming he had a bomb. The rumor of a suicide bomber spread quickly among the worshippers. Looking for a means to escape, the thousands stampeded. Almost one thousand people were crushed or drowned in the Tigris below. Close to five hundred more were injured.

The Bridge of the Imams was closed, separating the Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah – a former al-Qaida stronghold – and the militia controlled Shiite district of Kazimiyah.

 

Today, Iraqi red, white and black flags waved in an autumn breeze on the Bridge of Imams. Banners reading “Yes to reconciliation and national unity” and “No to sectarianism and division” decorated the bridge railings. Hundreds of Sunnis and Shi’ites met on the bridge, which they now call Unity Bridge. “It is a day of joy for the Iraqi people because we have shown to the world that we are one united people”, announced Sheik Saleh al-Haidari. “The reopening of this bridge… is an indication that desperate attempts by terrorists have failed and life is getting back to normal,” said military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi.

Among purple fingers’ majesty, long may she wave.

Go Away, Trouble Making, Problem-Worshiper

You know that person from 20+ years ago who was chronically in a “crisis”, spread vicious lies and rumors about innocent people, played on your sympathies to suck you into her tomb of despair and never displayed an ounce of happiness except when she had caused problems in someone else’s life through lies and deceit? You know, the one you constantly told to GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE and she’d call the next day and say “Hey, how ya doin?”

My trouble making, problem worshiping, loathesome excuse for a human being…lets see…I’ll call her Lynn Boles…left a message on my answering machine last night.

To my friends and family: You won’t be able to get in touch with me today because I’ll be working in my basement assembling a doll;

Does anyone know where I can purchase a wooden stake or a silver bullet by mail? I couldn’t get them at the store because some crabby customer complained about the odor from garlic necklace and I had to leave.

Four Star General Dunwoody

On June 23, 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush nominated U.S. Army Gen. Ann Dunwoody to serve as the next Commander, U.S. Army Material Command. She was confirmed by the Senate on July 23, 2008.

On 14 Nov 2008, U.S. Army Gen. Ann Dunwoody became the first woman to reach the rank of four-star general in the history of the United States military.

I grew up in the Army and came from a family who, since 1862, has defended our nation. My great grandfather, my grandfather, my father, my brother, my sister, my niece and my husband are all veterans of this country’s wars. My father is a veteran of three wars and is one of the 25 million veterans living today who served the nation with such incredible courage.

“I have never considered myself anything but a Soldier. I recognize that with this selection, some will view me as a trailblazer, but it’s important that we remember the generations of women, whose dedication, commitment and quality of service helped open the doors of opportunity for us today.” Lieutenant General Ann Dunwoody

The Martinsville FULL-OF-BULLetin

Perriello N.Y. Funds: 14% 

read the headline in the Martinsville Bulletin on Sunday 11/16/2008. Ace reporter, Amanda Buck, went on to write that she, the Martinsville Bulletin, nor the FEC knew how much money came from N.Y. because donors giving under $200 are not recorded.

Democrat Tom Perriello is a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in VA’s fifth district. He’s not only up to his eyeballs in radical left wing money and associates, some of them brag about it.

Incumbant Virgil Goode’s campaign and other Conservatives had been critical of Perriello’s N.Y. donors.

Goode and Perriello are locked in a tight race that is yet to be decided because as I posted earlier under “VA 5th District Voter Fraud“, after Rep. Goode had won, votes magically appeared out of thin air for Perriello.

The Martinsville Bulletin backed Tom Perriello. The Martinsville Bulletin owners give grants to ACORN.

Bernadine Dohrn-Protector of Children

Bernadine Dohrn: A leader of the terrorist cult, Weatherman (Weather Underground), in the 1960’s. “Their founding document called for the establishment of a “white fighting force” to be allied with the “Black Liberation Movement” and other “anti-colonial” movements[1] to achieve “the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism”.

These are her words pertaining to the slaughter of actress Sharon Tate and her unborn child, among others:

“Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim’s stomach! Wild!” 

This is how she reacted to the lifetime paralysis of Richard Elrod, father of 2 children, during a violent Weatherman riot in Chicago.

She led a celebration of Elrod’s paralysis by leading her comrades in a parody of a Bob Dylan song — “Lay, Elrod, Lay.”

What did Bernadine Dohrn name her own child? Zayd. Zayd’s namesake is Zayd Shakur, a Black Panther killed while driving the radical JoAnne Chesimard (a.k.a. Assata Shakur) to a hideout — the resulting traffic stop shootout ended in the murder of a New Jersey State Trooper and father of a child, Werner Foerster.

Today, Bernadine Dohrn is Director of Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University. She must have changed from being a race-baiting proliferater of Communist dogma. Nah….

Bernadine Dohrn’s Children and Family Justice Center accepts grants. What foundation would be so like-minded that it would give Bernadine Dohrn a grant? I found one:

Martinsvillians Speak Out

Just kidding. Martinsvillians have a southern accent. And they’re well-informed from spending 35cents a day on the Martinsville Bulletin, or as I like to call it ‘Pravda for Illiterates’.

Perriello and Franken

I was thinking. In light of the fact that neither has been actually voted into elected office, but both have declared “victory” and have D.C. trips planned, which one is the more arrogant of the two, Tom Perriello or Al Franken? I’ll have to go with Perriello. His “transition team” gives him a leg up in the arrogance department.

If either, or both actually win their respective elections, it would definitely be money well spent out of Martinsville for ACORN’s voter registration frau-uh, drive.

Pirates-Pay ‘em Now, Fight ‘em Later

06/25/08 Pirates who hijacked a Dutch ship and its crew near Bargal district have released the ship after the company that owns the ship paid US$ 1, 250,000 ransom.

 

 

09/16/2008 Somalis held a German ship and its crew captive until the owner paid millions to secure their release.

 

 

Oct. 17, 2008 A South Korean shipping company paid a ransom to Somali pirates for the release of a cargo ship and 22 crew members seized over a month ago, a company official said Friday.

 

 

Oct. 19, 2008 hijacked Thai ship let go Saturday after getting a ransom

 

 

16 November 2008 pirates freed another Japanese-owned chemical tanker, the Stolt Valor, on Saturday. Indian officials say all crew members aboard that ship are safe, including 18 Indians, two Filipinos, a Bangladeshi and a Russian. Officials say a ransom was paid to the pirates, who seized the ship in September.

 

 

 11/18/2008 Somali pirates yesterday seized a Saudi supertanker carrying up to 2m barrels of oil worth around $100m in an audacious attack several hundred miles out to sea.

THE Royal Navy, once the scourge of brigands on the high seas, has been told by the Foreign Office not to detain pirates because doing so may breach their human rights. Warships patrolling pirate-infested waters, such as those off Somalia, have been warned that there is also a risk that captured pirates could claim asylum in Britain. The Foreign Office has advised that pirates sent back to Somalia could have their human rights breached because, under Islamic law, they face beheading for murder or having a hand chopped off for theft.

 

To which the French replied,  ”Êtes-vous blaguez-moi, colonne vertébrale idiot”?**

This is how a country that cares more about the HUMAN RIGHTS OF ITS OWN CITIZENS THAN THE “HUMAN RIGHTS FOR THIEVING, MURDERING TERRORISTS:

April 13, 2008 Last week French commandos seized a Somali pirate gang that had held a luxury yacht with 22 French citizens on board. The hijackers were paid off by the boat’s owner and then a French helicopter carrier dispatched 50 commandos to seize the hijackers and the ransom money on dry land.

There was a reported sighting of the ghost of George Washington saying to the ghosts of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, “Did folks learn nothing from what we taught them?” 

** Are you shitting me, you spineless milquetoasts?

 

 

 

White Guilt Emancipation Declaration

We, black American citizens of the United States of America and of the National Black Republican Association, do hereby declare that our fellow white American citizens are now, henceforth and forever more free of White Guilt.

This freedom from White Guilt was duly earned by the election of Barack Hussein Obama, a black man, to be our president by a majority of white Americans based solely on the color of his skin.

Freedom is not free, and we trust that the price paid for this freedom from White Guilt is worth the sacrifice, since Obama is a socialist who does not share the values of average Americans and will use the office of the presidency to turn America into a failed socialist nation.

Granted this November 4, 2008 – the day Barack Hussein Obama was elected as the first black president and the first socialist president of the United States of America.

History Test

Gov. Palin’s follow-up for Turkey-gate

I see once again, the GLP (Gutless Little Prissies) are ragging on Gov. Palin because she (gasp!) had the audacity to talk to an interviewer at a turkey farm. It seems her crimes are endless with the GLP’s:

She believes corn is food and oil is fuel. She worships Christ, not Black separatist “theology”. She doesn’t believe abortion is a woman’s “health issue”. She believes in the Constitution, not the Communist Manifesto. She believes the U.S. Military should stay a fighting force of warriors, not an extension of the U.N. for transportation of humanitarian aid.

So, I’ve been thinking. What could Gov. Palin possibly do that would raise her to the status of Beloved Icon to the GLP’s? Then it hit me.

She could perform a partial birth abortion with a Crucifix live on national television with one hand, while waving a burning, upside down American Flag in the other and tooting out The Internationale on her flute with her vagina.

Now if she could just manage, while doing all that, to squeeze out a tear and an adoring expression at a studio audience member wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt…..

“Allowed” To Have THREE Children

Some heat-wrenching news for the partial-birth abortion cheerleaders (or as I like to call them, Barry Soetoro voters) who have been chanting, “China, China, suck out that fetal brain! Now it’s time for us to reign! We decide who’ll reproduce cause we got President Barry on the loose!”

Chinese authorities succumbed to international pressure, especially from U.S. politicians, and will not force a six-month pregnant woman to undergo an abortion procedure.

Arzigul Tursun, a Uyghur Muslim living in the remote northwest region of China, was released from the hospital in Xinjiang on Nov. 18 where she was being held captive. The soon-to-be a mother of three told Radio Free Asia shortly after her release: “I am all right and I am at home now.”

Tursun was supposedly released because the head of the local population control committee deemed that her health condition was not good enough to have an abortion.

However, authorities had held her in hospitals with the intention of forcing her to have an abortion for nearly a week with no acknowledgment that her health would be in danger if she underwent an abortion. Population control officials had even threatened to seize her family’s land and home when she ran away twice to save her baby. Tursun, with the understanding that her two other children might be homeless if she did not return, went back to the hospital on her own the first time and was brought back by her husband and authorities the second time.

In the United States, congressmen were outraged at news that China was forcing a woman to have an abortion, even as the international community watched on.

Reps. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), the House Ranking member on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, and Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) wrote a letter to China’s ambassador to Washington to demand that “the nightmare of a forced abortion” be stopped.

One thing’s for sure. You can just bet your bottom dollar that Smith and Pitts have completely ruined any chances they had of securing a spot in Barry’s new “bi-bipartisan” administration’s Population Control Board!

VA 5th District RECOUNT-Hooray!

I posted earlier about the stink of voter fraud wafting up from VA’s 5th District here. The Haskells’ Martinsville full-of-Bulletin have been hip, hip hooraying for Periello. You could almost feel the bated breath each time votes materialized for Periello out of thin air. The announcement by Rep. Virgil Goode today that he will file papers tomorrow for a recount was reported in a much more, let’s say, somber tone.

“Over 316,000 votes were cast in this Election for U.S. Representative. The morning after the Election Night, with all precincts reporting, we were ahead by 446 votes. Since that time, over 3,200 votes have changed — the largest changes coming from cities and counties that voted for my opponent. Now, we are trailing by 745 votes in the certified count.”- Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA)

I’m going to hold back a little on my celebrating. With the area’s ties to ACORN, especially the Haskells, God only knows what will happen.

Phil Burnette Snarking, Sniffing and Snorting

Phil Burnette, chairman of the Henry County Democratic Party has chimed in on the decision by incumbent Republican Virgil Goode from VA’s 5th District to file papers for a recount in this years election against Democrat challenger Tom Perriello. According to Phil, the recount has nothing to do with 3,200 votes “changing” since the morning after the election.

“Virgil (Goode) is just using public money for his own edification,” Burnette added, referring to the localities’ responsibility for paying for the recount. State law requires localities to cover the costs when the difference between the candidates is less than half a percent.

Funny, how Phil didn’t have such a low opinion of Virgil Goode when he donated cash to a previous campaign. Rep. Goode’s principles and beliefs haven’t changed over the years, only his political party affiliation. How about your principles and beliefs, Phil?

Barry’s Dream Team

al-Qaeda has stopped dreaming about the good old days and started celebrating “The Good Old Days, Redux” since Barry Soetoro has named some members of his cabinet. They started the celebration off with a bang, killing a few hundred innocents in Mumbai, India. Finding a few Jews to savagely torture before killing was like an extended Eid ul-Fitr عيد الفطر‎! But the icing on the cake was the sound of the littlest Jew, Moshe, crying out for his murdered mother. Praise Allah, for another orphaned Jew!

And praise be to the American President-elect, Barry Soetoro! He has invited dear friend of al-Qaeda, Samantha Power, back into his fold. By Allah, her dreams of a world without Israel bring a tear to the eye…Fools by nature, most women would not understand that the real terrorist nations are the U.S. and Israel. Perhaps a man explained it to her in college?

But, in the true interest of saving the best for last: The dearest, most beloved friend of al-Qaeda, Dr. Susan Rice has been named by President-elect Soetoro as Ambassador to the United (with Islam) Nations! How could we forget those glory days of the 1990’s when Dr. Rice saved Mohammad (praise be his name)-on-Earth, Osama bin Laden, not once but twice, from the American infidels? No doubt the Clinton administration would have spoken to Osama with all manner of disrespect before a U.S. Federal Judge released him on his own recognizance! Thanks to Dr. Rice’s efforts on our behalf, al-Qaeda has been fortunate enough to kill thousands of American infidels since the 1990’s.

 

Let us not forget to bid farewell to the Cowboy, George W. Bush. He kept us out of the terrorist U.S.A., but since we have been invited back in by President-elect Soetoro and his companions, WE’LL BE SEEING THEM SOON!

Equal Rights for Gay, Lesbian, Trans-somethings, blah, blah, blah

Since Prop 8 in CA was passed, yet again, in a democratic election, the usually screeching “tolerant” and “loving” voices “for equality” have ratcheted up and morphed into a maniacal, violent gang, calling for a rumble with the Mormons. Instead of the “Bloods” calling out the “Crypts”, it’s the “Flower Buds” calling out the “Nondescripts”. Never mind that 70 percent of black voters and half of Latino voters voted yes; two-thirds of self-identified Christians, married voters, parents, the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Church and evangelical groups in the state also urged for a ban on gay marriage, those heathen Nondescripts spent a LOT OF MONEY on ADS. Now, I’ll confess that it burns me when George Soros, the Progressive Insurance guy and the Ben and Jerry’s guys throw gazillions of dollars into the coffers of every socialist candidate that comes down the pike, but it hasn’t really crossed my mind to stomp on a cross, scream racial epithets or call them out for a rumble on Main Street. Their candidate was ELECTED by MAJORITY vote.

Now for good measure, the Flower Buds have entered into Bizarro World where they compare their “fight for equality” to that of Africans who were kidnapped from their families, whipped, chained, starved and denied basic human needs, let alone “rights”, in a completely foreign country with a completely foreign culture. Who is their Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.? Ellen DeGeneres, maybe.

Setting aside religiosity, I’d hazard a guess that the reason voters have passed bans on “gay marriage” in 30 states is that folks are just plain tired of every aspect of their lives, from the workplace to public toilets being adjudicated and legislated by faux moral authorities. The fact of the matter is, especially in the workplace and in the public school system, homosexuals do not want “equal rights”. They want and have achieved through the court system, the status of the handicapped, with special bathroom accommodations, etc. Marriage is like the last stand. I suspect that if the Flower Buds would stop calling out the Nondescripts and everyone else they disagree with for a street brawl and just act like they got some sense, maybe, just maybe, folks would change their minds.

The question is, if the homosexual community sincerely wants rights equal to heterosexuals, how many immunities is it willing to surrender?

Immunity from arrest for sex acts in public? As a heterosexual, this is against the law, even for married partners.

Immunity from child protection laws? As a heterosexual, you would be charged for bringing your child to an S&M orgy.

Immunity from hate crimes? As a heterosexual you would be charged for bullying, harassing or threatening another because of their religious affiliation or skin color.

Immunity from job termination? As a heterosexual, if you’re doing a lousy job, yelling “Discrimination!” doesn’t mean you get to keep your job.

How about special bathroom accommodations? As a heterosexual in the workplace or on campus, you have to use the men’s room if you have a penis and the ladies’ room if you have a vagina. You are not afforded special “gender-neutral” bathrooms.

Findly, I don’t have any statistics on this, but I bet just about everyone has a relative, friend or colleague who is gay. Most folks don’t care what goes on in another person’s bedroom, so long as it doesn’t involve someone’s child or pet. It’s when private bedroom activities spill over into neighborhood streets, public school campuses, workplaces and amusement parks that people stop listening, stop supporting and most importantly, stop caring.

HELL’S BELLS

Nothing like a terrorist, or 3, getting their bells rung by a hell-fire missile fired from a Predator. Good solution to that Gitmo problem: Kill, don’t capture.

Bob McDonnell-Great Governor Material

Straight-talk. Bob McDonnell demonstrates, yet again, why he would be a great Governor for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

A WARRIOR’S CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS (or any other word that pisses off liberals).

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. 
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.

The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. 
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. 
Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.

Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. 
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

“What are you doing?” I asked without fear,
“Come in this moment, it’s freezing out here! 
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!”
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..

To the window that danced with a warm fire’s light
Then he sighed and he said “Its really all right, 
I’m out here by choice. I’m here every night.”
“It’s my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.

No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I’m proud to stand here like my fathers before me. 
My Gramps died at ‘Pearl on a day in December,”
Then he sighed, “That’s a Christmas ‘Gram always remembers.”
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ‘Nam ‘,
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.

I’ve not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he’s sure got her smile. 
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue… an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.  

I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. 
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.”  

“So go back inside,” he said, “harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I’ll be all right.”
“But isn’t there something I can do, at the least,
“Give you money,” I asked, “or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you’ve done, 
For being away from your wife and your son.”  

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
“Just tell us you love us, and never forget. 
To fight for our rights back at home while we’re gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, 
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.”

PLEASE, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many 
people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
U.S service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
festivities. Let’s try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people 
stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

YEAH, BIBI!! (Updated)

**Bumped up for update** (Below the snip)

The Likud Party is BAAACK and strong! Tuesday’s primaries in Israel bring in Moshe Feiglin, Benny Begin, and Moshe Ayalon, among others. Of course the watered-down to milquetoast, Kadima Party is having a hissy fit. Prime Minister Ehud (maybe if we give islamo-fascists the rest of Israel’s land, they’ll stop killing our children) Olmert said,  “If Bibi, Begin, Ya’alon and Feiglin come to power, it will cause significant diplomatic damage to Israel.” Uh-huh, that’s the POINT, Ehud, or as I like to call you, the head of the John McCain wing of the Kadima/Likuds. You keep giving terrorists land and getting dead Israeli children in return. It’s WAY past time for “significant diplomatic damage”!

(snip)

 

UPDATE:

From the Jerusalum Post:

After the failure of his last-ditch effort to muster Kadima leader Tzipi Livni’s support for a unity government on Friday, President Shimon Peres formally entrusted Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu with the task of building a coalition.

Earlier, after emerging from a meeting with Peres, Livni announced that she had no intention of joining a broad coalition under Netanyahu, despite the Likud chairman’s assertion that he was willing to “go to great lengths” in order to induce Kadima to join his government.

“It appears that the coalition which has been formed in recent days lacks diplomatic vision,” Livni said after the meeting. The Kadima leader rejected the president’s plea that she reconsider joining a coalition comprised of the three largest parties – Kadima, Likud and Israeli Beiteinu – and asserted that a “broad coalition is worthless if it is not governed by values.”

Peres realizes the need for strength at this time in history. Since Barry Soetoro and his Brown Shirts have decided to “stand with” the enemies of Israel and the U.S., the ”the political winds” have shifted “in an ugly direction“.

Shabtai Shavit, former chief of the Mossad intelligence agency, warned just 2 days ago: ”I don’t believe there is a political solution which can be achieved through negotiations with Iran. My concern is that until Obama finishes his learning curve of the subject, the Iranians are going to have maybe the first or even more nuclear bombs.”

NYT, one day ago:

In their first appraisal of Iran’s nuclear program since President Obama took office, atomic inspectors have found that Iran recently understated by a third how much uranium it has enriched, United Nations officials said Thursday.

The officials also declared for the first time that the amount of uranium that Tehran had now amassed — more than a ton — was sufficient, with added purification, to make an atom bomb.

YEAH, BIBI!! NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON!

 

HOT ROD BLAGOJEVICH

I am predicting a bright political future for Democrat Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich! Attempting to sell a state senate seat was a stroke of genius. Just think about that other elected official from Chicago. He was involved in quid pro quo shady land deals with a Syrian-born slum-lord, has never produced a birth certificate, medical records, college transcripts or a state voting record and he was overwhelming elected President of the United States. Yessiree…big things in store for the governor.

Some might think this whole getting- arrested- by- the- Feds thing might hurt Blagojevich’s chances for the Big Time. I disagree. Given Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s track record of prosecuting the wrong guy, he’ll probably just drag in a janitor who mispoke about vacuuming the Governor’s office, when he actually dusted on the day in question.

Tony Rezko and Gov. Rod Blagojevich (or as lovely wife Patty likes to call him, the “little motherfu–er”)

SANTA’S PRETTY BABY

MARTINSVILLE’S EDITORIALISTS

The Martinsville Bulletin in Martinsville, VA, like most small town newspapers, has a motley crew of local editorialists. I usually overlook the Bulletin’s editorial musings because they are invariably either shilling for local politicians, generationally re-elected, who have thrust the area into generational joblessness and poverty; or wistfully longing for a federal government that embraces the far superior tenants of Communism. But, I digress. Back to the motley crew.

J. Michael Bestler, M.D. is a local surgeon and one of my all-time favorite opinion writers. Not only is he an outstanding contributor to the medical field, he’s an outstanding contributor to society. He’s one of those guys with an I.Q. in the stratosphere; but is so down to Earth, you think of him for a round of golf or a backyard barbecue. He’s also a Republican. Now, in Martinsville Bulletin-land, the “R” word is treated like “Jesus”, “democracy” and “clean coal”. They’re all cuss words. Did I mention that Dr. Bestler has a quick (oftentimes, self-effacing) wit? Being an intelligent, accomplished, witty Republican, naturally, he writes letters to the editor of the Martinsville Bulletin; and predictably, the local “editorialists” jump on his every word quicker than a Prop 8 protester can slap a cross out of the hands of a Mormon. Generally, the letters and responses are the usual partisan back-and-forth. Recently, though, the responses to a letter Dr. Bestler wrote have me rolling on the floor. Martinsville, VA might have a shortage of jobs but it definitely doesn’t have a shortage of vocabulary-challenged residents.

(This is paraphrasing because of the Bulletin’s copyright. Its owners, the Haskells, might go through a shortfall of funds for Bernadine Dohrn and sue me for what little I have.)

Thursday, November 13, 2008  (Re: the election of Barack Hussein Obama)Dr. Bestler writes that the nation has lost its exceptionality and embraced commonality as repentance for a time in American history, long gone.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 Response-Richard Hight. Whuuutt!? Barack Obama is EXCEPTIONAL not “common”! Dr. Bestler is a racist and he rambles….Oh, and George Bush sucks.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 Response-Donnell Hairston. Eeeek! Dr. Bestler has induced flashbacks of other racial bigots. Thank goodness for the “common” man, like Barack Hussein Obama!…Oh and God bless Dr. Bestler, even if he is a racist bigot.

Thursday, November 20, 2008-Dr. Bestler takes exception to Mr. Hight’s rambling comment.

Friday, November 21, 2008 Response-Thomas Albanese. Painstakingly explains in DETAIL and without condescension the definition and context of the word “commonality”.

Wednesday, November 26, 2008 Response-Dr. Robert Piat. (Lending credence to the rumor that he was unable to get a surgical residency.) Dr. Bestler is a racial slur-er! Quotes S.I. Hayakawa for good measure, thus proving he was plenty smart enough for a surgical residency.

Wednesday, December 3, 2008 Response-Sam Petty. Double WHUUUTT!!?? Explains how Barack Obama isn’t “common” by misstating his education history. Oh, and John McCain is dumb and stupid…

Friday, December 5, 2008 Response-Dr. Bestler. Corrects Mr. Petty’s misstatements and apologizes for using big words.

 Thursday, December 11, 2008 Response-Sam Petty. Informs Dr. Bestler that he has the smarts real good and proves it by rapidly firing off four more misstatements about Gov. Palin…thus proving that she ain’t got the smarts real good like he does.

Thursday, December 11, 2008 Response-Robert A. Williams. Local personal injury attorney takes advantage of an opportunity for free advertising and to tout his status as a Harvard Law alumnus-just like Barack. Oh, and John McCain would be nothin’, nothin’, I tell ya, without affirmative action.

Maybe exceptionality IS dead; at least in Martinsville, VA.

INGRATES IN IRAQ

There are people I read about, or cross paths with, that I would label “hero” for outstanding acts of valor in the face of overwhelming odds. There are others who assign the “hero” label to athletes, celebrities, abortion providers and suicide bombers. I can honestly say that describing someone humming a couple of shoes at someone’s head as a “hero” would not occur to me in a million years. For this reason, I was surprised, sickened, angry, and at times, amused, with what some Iraqi bloggers had to say about the Iraqi “journalist” throwing his shoes at the head of the President of the United States here, here, here, here and perhaps the most bizarre here (where the blogger refers to the “sacred shoe”).

These bloggers and others, as well as the American and international media outlets, always mention that it is a horrible insult in the Arab world to have a shoe thrown at you. Big Whoopee. President Bush isn’t Arabic. In Texas, a grown man throwing his shoes at another would probably be referred to as ”A Little Chicken Shit”, which may explain the amused look on the President’s face.

I was going to write a lengthy blog about the ingratitude of these bloggers, but someone else sums it up much better than I could ever do.  This is an excerpt from Talismangate:

I think quite a number of Iraqis were embarrassed by how their guest got treated today. Personally, I got angry. Very angry.

I will make a public promise: should I ever run into a certain reporter called Muntather al-Zaidi, presently of Al-Baghdadia TV, I will seriously consider beating the crap out of him. If I am successful in bringing him down, then my coup de grace shall be to take one of his shoes, preferably the one on the right, and stuff it in his mouth.

See, I will forever remain indebted to President George W. Bush. He is my hero. He liberated Iraq, and that’s how I will always see it. Had there been no President Bush, then Saddam would still be Saddam.

The usual suspects are ecstatic over what happened, especially the US-based media and Iraq-watchers. I would like to beat them all up too, but I think that would be a tad bit excessive. The best revenge is to make them watch Iraq’s democracy strengthen and prosper. Today’s images gave them a temporary high; a new Iraq, free and democratic, something they believed would never happen, will gnaw at their insides for the rest of their lives. I’ll settle for that.

For the record, Iraqi blogging ingrates, here are some of my heroes. I guarantee you there isn’t a shoe-throwing chicken shit in the bunch.

Sign Up for Martyrdom HERE

Talk about an excellent idea! This is an exceptional way to end an otherwise crappy year on an upswing. 20,000 Iranian “martyrs” and an Israeli Military more than happy to oblige them.

TEHRAN (FNA)- A number of almost 20,000 people in different Iranian cities on Monday started enrolling their names in the list of volunteers to fight against Israel while thousands more are joining the campaign today.

The registration came a day after Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a religious decree saying whoever dies in fight with Israel and in defense of Gaza would be a martyr.

Notice to all foreign and domestic Jew-haters and terrorism apologists (or as I like to call them, democrats):

Here’s the link to sign up for martyrdom. Call all your like-minded friends, family members, colleagues and government representatives to sign up! Remember: THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY MARTYRS.

Cynthia McKinney Loses Her Dignity

Former Georgia Congresscritter Cynthia (“Cellphone”) McKinney joined a group of other HAMAS supporters, including CNN reporter and HAMAS spokesman, Karl Pennhaul aboard the yacht “Dignity”. Their mission: Delivering “medical and humanitarian aid” to those who blow up Israeli school buses loaded with children, otherwise known as Palestinians. Alas, the mission had to be aborted, though, when an Israeli patrol boat captain took exception to the “Dignity” not responding to radio calls.

al-Jazeera reports:

When a Georgia reporter asked Mzzz. McKinney if she had been drinking white lightin’ because her eyes bugged out and her face turned red, she reportedly slapped him up side the head with her keffiyeh, called him a racist and stormed off.

The Beauty of Islam

One of the ass-wipes in this video says that people need to have an understanding of the beauty of Islam.

The cow wearing the scarf screeching about needing big ovens for the Jews is such a thing of beauty, it brought a tear to my eye.

Speaking of beauty. Now THIS is BEAUTIFUL:

Ward Armtrong Challenger About To Step Up?

Whoo Hoo! Here’s a snippet from Alton Foley, Vice Chair of the Republican Party for Henry Co, VA:

I mentioned in an earlier piece that there are at least three potential candidates interested in taking on Ward Armstrong in 2009. I’ve personally spoken with two of them, and neither one is ready to commit at this point. Actually, neither one has come to any final decision on whether they even want to run yet.
…there is a planned breakfast meeting scheduled in the coming weeks. During that breakfast meeting, (which I have learned will be at Ryan’s Steak House in Martinsville), one of the three candidates will be asked to campaign against Ward.
When I asked him if he would consider their request, if offered, he replied, “It’s too early for me to say, I haven’t even been invited to the breakfast you mentioned. But if that situation arises, I’ll seriously consider their request.”

More to come…

The Race Card Bites

In 2002, President George W. Bush nominated the Hon. Charles Pickering for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Charles Pickering raised his family in Laurel, Mississippi. Laurel was also home to one of, if not the, most vicious Klan organizations, the White Knights of the KKK. It was lead by Imperial Wizard Sam Bowers. Bowers was behind the murders of civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner and James Chaney.

In 1963, Charles Pickering was elected prosecuting attorney for Jones County. He didn’t think about his personal safety or his political career when he hounded, exposed and testified against Sam Bowers and the White Knights. He was thinking about the world in which his children were living. He was thinking that it was the right thing to do.

In 1969, districts all across Mississippi created special all-white “academies” as a means of bypassing the newly passed desegregation laws. Charles Pickering’s son Chip was starting first grade that year in Laurel Mississippi. Charles Pickering and a group of community leaders kept these “academies” out of Laurel. Chip Pickering, as well as all four of the children of Charles Pickering graduated from local, integrated public high school.

Charles Pickering is held in high regard in the black community; so high, in fact, that James Charles Evers (brother of Medgar Evers) took on the NAACP’s Clarence McGee:

“You know that Charles Pickering was the man that helped us break the Ku Klux Klan?”

“Did you also know that Charles Pickering is the man who helped integrate his—his churches?”

This is what Harry Reid (D-NV), presently Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate had to say about the Hon. Charles Pickering on the floor of the Senate:

“There appears to be a “pattern here that this administration is not concerned about women and other minorities.”

Sometimes, Sen. Reid, when your words come back to bite you in the ass, you get bitten on both cheeks. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving individual:

 

POTUS Luncheon

The current POTUS invited all the current POTUSes (POTI?) for lunch at the White House this week. Here they are:

I’ll Miss Alan Colmes

Alan Colmes is leaving FNC this month.

I always liked seeing and listening to Hannity AND Colmes. Alan Colmes was the perfect example of why the biggest threat to U.S. sovereignty doesn’t come from international terrorism. It comes from within. Here’s a good example. Alan is arguing in support of terrorism to a former Israeli Special Forces Warrior/Hero:

I’ll miss everything about Alan; from his Marlena Dietrich eyebrows

The Chicago Platform-Redux

Barry Soetoro’s election as the first black President of the United States is historic second only to his election as the most self-aggrandizing individual ever elected to the office. The presumptuousness of his Brandenburg Gate appearance; the arrogant wierdness of his acceptance speech in front of a neoclassical temple facade of drywall columns; the megalomaniacal messianic  heal the planet speech-all good material for political humor. Now, however, he’s crossed the line with his new “I am the 21st century Abraham Lincoln” persona. The most narcissistic man ever elected plans to retrace the steps of, use the Holy Bible of, eat the favorite foods of and kick off his inauguration (or coronation with a crown of thorns?) at the memorial of the most self-effacing man ever elected, Anti-Slave Party Republican and 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln; a man, not unlike another one of today, who believed that the Civil War was for a just and noble cause and that all people have the God-given right of liberty.

President-elect Barry Soetoro, if anything, you are the 21st century version of Gen. George McClellan. He was the Pro-Slavery Democrat Party nominee in 1864. President Lincoln’s approval was very low and the country was sick of the Civil War. McClellan’s platform then, mirrors your own of today: “diplomacy“, retreat and status quo. The Pro-Slavery Democratic Party’s “Compromise With The South”, ironically came to be called  The Chicago Platform. 

Resolved, that this convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of military necessity, or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the States or other peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the federal Union of the States.

History knows Abraham Lincoln. We all know Abraham Lincoln. You, Barry Soetoro, are NO Abraham Lincoln.

Sanctity of Human Life Day

President George W. Bush has declared today, 18Jan09, “Sanctity of Human Life Day”.

I am going to use this special occasion to set aside feelings of disappointment I’ve had toward the man recently over bail-outs and reflect upon how the president has championed the human rights of all humans. It is appropriate that the day after, we will celebrate the life of a great Republican, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Both men stood tall and strong against Congressional Democrats and public opinion and championed equal rights for all. Some people no longer remember and children are no longer taught in school that the liberal press and liberal Democrats who so loathe and despise President George W. Bush also loathed and despised Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The liberal media is so powerful at controlling information and re-writing history, that today race-separatists groups are referred to as “right wing”.

It is heartbreakingly ironic that two days after we celebrate Sanctity of Human Life Day the country will witness the inauguration of Barry Soetoro. A man who is such an ardent proponent of abortion that he refuses to call a living, breathing survivor of a partial birth abortion procedure a “child”. The first, perhaps only time he took to the floor of the Illinois Congress was to argue against providing life-saving medical service to these “nonhumans”.

All human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our country recognizes that each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world. We also underscore our dedication to heeding this message of conscience by speaking up for the weak and voiceless among us.

The most basic duty of government is to protect the life of the innocent. My Administration has been committed to building a culture of life by vigorously promoting adoption and parental notification laws, opposing Federal funding for abortions overseas, encouraging teen abstinence, and funding crisis pregnancy programs. In 2002, I was honored to sign into law the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which extends legal protection to children who survive an abortion attempt. I signed legislation in 2003 to ban the cruel practice of partial-birth abortion, and that law represents our commitment to building a culture of life in America. Also, I was proud to sign the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004, which allows authorities to charge a person who causes death or injury to a child in the womb with a separate offense in addition to any charges relating to the mother.

America is a caring Nation, and our values should guide us as we harness the gifts of science. In our zeal for new treatments and cures, we must never abandon our fundamental morals. We can achieve the great breakthroughs we all seek with reverence for the gift of life.

The sanctity of life is written in the hearts of all men and women. On this day and throughout the year, we aspire to build a society in which every child is welcome in life and protected in law. We also encourage more of our fellow Americans to join our just and noble cause. History tells us that with a cause rooted in our deepest principles and appealing to the best instincts of our citizens, we will prevail.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 18, 2009, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

GEORGE W. BUSH

While President George W. Bush was appointing the first black woman as Secretary of State to replace the first black man, whom he also appointed and working to bring the same school choices to poor black families as rich white families have, where was Barry Soetoro? He was sitting in a building listening to a man preaching a “theology” that was founded by a man who based this “theology” on his admiration for the murderous Sandinista. He was listening to a man preach vile, cruel and angry race separatism and anti-Americanism; a man who had Hamas literature in the lobby of his “church”; a man so beloved and admired by Barry Soetoro that he chose him as officiant at his wedding and baptisms of his children; a man he chose to honor by writing a book about one of his radical race separatist “sermons”.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; “and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.”²

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And this will be the day — this will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

President-elect, Barry Soetoro, you were elected because of the color of your skin. Will history judge you by the content of your character?

I HOPE SO.

LET THEM EAT ARUGULA!

The community represents “so many people who have been forgotten,” Obama said. “Washington hasn’t been listening to you and hasn’t been paying attention to you.” BRISTOL, Va

“If you give me that opportunity, if you give me that chance, I will fight for you every single day,‘’ he pledged. “I’ll wake up every day in that White House thinking about those people in Martinsville.‘’

“I’m not saying that every job is going to come back to Martinsville just because I’m elected president,” Obama said in a town hall-style meeting at Patrick Henry Community College’s Virginia Motorsports Technology Center. “I’m not saying that suddenly all of the schools are going to be fixed. But what I can do is I can say that I’m going to wake up every day thinking about you and thinking about how to make your life a little bit better.”

The price tag for President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration gala is expected to break records, with some estimates reaching as high as $150 million. Despite the bleak economy, however, Democrats who called on President George W. Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun.

In 2005, Reps. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and Jim McDermott, D-Wash., asked Bush to show a little less pomp and be a little more circumspect at his party.

“President Roosevelt held his 1945 inaugural at the White House, making a short speech and serving guests cold chicken salad and plain pound cake,” the two lawmakers wrote in a letter. “During World War I, President Wilson did not have any parties at his 1917 inaugural, saying that such festivities would be undignified.”

The thinking was that, with the nation at war, excessive celebration was inappropriate. Four years later, the nation is still at war. Unemployment has risen sharply. And Obama pressed Congress to release the second half of a $700 billion bailout package in hopes of rescuing a faltering banking industry.

Obama’s inauguration committee says it is mindful of the times and is not worried people will see the four days of festivities as excessive.

“That is probably not the way the country is going to be looking at it,” said committee spokeswoman Linda Douglass. “It is not a celebration of an election. It is a celebration of our common values.”

Douglass said the campaign sought to keep costs down by having the same decorations at each of the 10 balls, eliminating floral arrangements and negotiating prices on food.

Parrr-tay!! Whoo Hoo!!

Mr. President, remember us? Are you still thinking about us, like you promised?

Huh, whu.., who? Oh, it’s you. Stop trying to crash my celebration of our common values and go back to clinging to your guns and religion, you ignorant hicks! Here, take this plate of arugula with you. That should should tide you over and it was blocking my access to the Baluga caviar.

WELCOME HOME

Ending his presidency in the spot he began it eight years ago, former president George W. Bush leaned on the podium in Centennial Plaza Tuesday, looked out at the about 30,000 cheering and waving ‘W’ cut-outs and said it was good to be home.“I’m coming home with my head held high and a sense of accomplishment,” Bush said.

“Laura and I may have left Texas but Texas never left us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” he said, inciting portions of the crowd to cheer again.
Bush told the crowd, who had squished onto bleachers, chairs and the lawn and sidewalks on all sides of him, that he approached his job with a resolve to tackle tough issues when they came up rather than passing them on to the next president.

Among the things he’s proud of, Bush said, are the moves in public schools that have begun to close the gaps in achievement levels, programs that have helped make prescription drugs available to seniors, work with HIV and malaria patients, tax cuts for all Americans and decisions that have kept Americans safe since 9/11.

“Everyday I followed a set of clear principles,” he said, describing the motives that drove him to make decisions in line with the values he was taught as a child.
“Sometimes what I did was unpopular, but that’s OK I always did what I thought was right,” he said, pausing as the crowd responded in support. “Popularity is as fleeting as the West Texas wind.”
Rove said Bush has been looking forward to his Midland visit for weeks and will be remembered internationally as a liberator, domestically as a reformer and mostly, as a man who did what he thought was right.
Nearly as many locals lined Wall Street and Business 20 during their return trip as were out waving signs and flags during their drive into town.
“Tonight I have the privilege of saying what I haven’t been able to say for awhile,” he said, during his speech. “It is good to be home.”

 

 

You’re a helluva man, Mr. President and “Popularity is as fleeting as the West Texas wind.”

Oh no he di-unt!

I could hardly wait to get to Virginia Beach today so I could put a toe in the Atlantic Ocean with its new and improved lower level. At first I was disappointed that the Atlantic was at the same level it was on Jan. 19th, but then it occurred to me (smack forehead), it probably started in the Pacific and just hasn’t reached the East Coast yet.

When I got home, I hurriedly switched on the TV, in hopes of catching endless reruns of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration. My hopes were dashed when I saw that the National Prayer Service was being broadcast live. What the hell is this (throwing arms in the air), I shouted at the television screen, a theocracy?! My new president promised hope and change, not a bunch of Christian fanatics, like the last administration!

Well, I don’t mind telling you that I was more than just a little relieved when I listened to the selected speakers (wiping forehead, sighing).

Western Democracy Demonization Theology was well represented by the great theologian  Sharon Watkins.

 

Communist Superiority Theology was well represented by the great theologian Jim Wallis.

Beat Down Whitey Theology was well represented by Otis Moss.

Suicide Bomber Theology was well represented by the great theologian Ingrid Mattson.

 

I’m not ashamed to admit to more than (quivering lower lip) just a few tears of thankfulness at the sight of these Disciples praying to our Lord and Savior, Barry Soetoro. Praise be his name (whatever his real name might be, which is so not important). Let us not forget that the disgustingly intolerant “God” the far-right evangelical whack-o crowd worships also goes by several different names; Yahweh, Jehovah.

Tee hee (girlish giggle). Our savior, at one point, so overcome by the adulation, accidently placed a hand over his heart during the singing of the anthem of oppression, intolerance and white supremacy, the National Anthem of the United States of KKK. From the look on the blessed Michelle’s face, I bet he really got it when he got home….tee hee, how cute are they?

HAT TIP: Ace of Spades

 

Barry Ends War!

Hooray! The new progressive President of the United States of America, Barry Soetoro has ended that little annoying War on Terror.

Dana Priest announced this news today in the Washington Post. For those of you not familiar with Dana Priest, here’s some background.
She’s the won who originally put the words “war on terror” in quotes. She’s the one who won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing detention facilities on the soil of America’s allies which house innocent suicide bombing freedom fighters, arrested by the CIA of the Imperialist, terrorist United States of America. Possibly causing the torture, decapitation or murder of countless Americans and American allies by exposing classified intelligence information to the innocent jihadis is of no consequence to Mzzzz Priest because these supporters of the Bush doctrine of murdering imperialism are expendable.
Her husband is Bill Goodfellow of The Center for International Policy. For those of you not familiar with the CIP, it was founded by a group of old hippies who spit on Vietnam vets, Commies and Black Panthers. Today it’s a group of old and new Commies, tree-hugging radicals and terrorism apologists that push toward a one-world Communist government.

By Dana Priest
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 23, 2009; Page A01

President Obama yesterday eliminated the most controversial tools employed by his predecessor against terrorism suspects. With the stroke of his pen, he effectively declared an end to the “war on terror,” as President George W. Bush had defined it, signaling to the world that the reach of the U.S. government in battling its enemies will not be limitless.
Key components of the secret structure developed under Bush are being swept away: The military’s Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility, where the rights of habeas corpus and due process had been denied detainees, will close, and the CIA is now prohibited from maintaining its own overseas prisons. And in a broad swipe at the Bush administration’s lawyers, Obama nullified every legal order and opinion on interrogations issued by any lawyer in the executive branch after Sept. 11, 2001.

It was a swift and sudden end to an era that was slowly drawing to a close anyway, as public sentiment grew against perceived abuses of government power. The feisty debate over the tactics employed against al-Qaeda began more than six years ago as whispers among confidants with access to the nation’s most tightly held secrets. At the time, there was consensus in Congress and among the public that the United States would be attacked again and that government should do what was necessary to thwart the threat.Over the next 2 1/2 years, as Democrats gained power in Congress, as the violence in Iraq sapped public support for the president and as the fear of another terrorist attack receded, the debate over secret prisons, renditions and harsh interrogations grew louder. Presidential candidates felt comfortable to include these sensitive subjects in the debate on the efficiency of Bush’s war against terrorists, and even on the notion that it was still a war.

During his campaign and again in his inaugural address Tuesday, Obama used a different lexicon to describe operations to defeat terrorists. “As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals,” he said. “. . . And for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.”

Who won “Bush’s war on terror”, Mz. Priest?

More importantly, who will win Barry’s “operations to defeat terrorists”; fought with a “stronger spirit” rather than a bunker-busting bomb?

We shall see.

Dems Follow Palin Precedent

There is a radical sector of the Democrat Party that doesn’t blame the U.S., Christianity, Capitalism or Israel for famines, volcanic eruptions and Islamic serial mass murder. They are so radical in fact, that they actually believe in homeland security and fiscal responsibility. They are called Blue Dogs.

In 2008 another radical came to the national stage, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska). Gov. Palin, a Christian Conservative, showed the “Progressive” (Mao/Lenin/Marx wing) Democrats what the true definition of a “feminist” is:

She knows guns aren’t toys when she’s out with the boys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Rev. Wright blew hate, she was running a state.

She can bring home the bacon; fry it up in a pan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And 5 children later, never, ever let Todd Palin forget he’s a man.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, in an act of completely disregarding aristocratic entitlement, Gov. Paterson of NY (of the Dirty Dog Democrats), has smeared NY Senate hopeful, Caroline Kennedy (from the Killer Dog Democrats) and chosen a real live feminist Blue Dog Democrat, Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to replace Sen. Hillary Clinton (of the Lying Dog Democrats).

In keeping with the precedent of sliming independent thinking women, the “Progressive” Democrats have already started giving Sen. Gillibrand the Hillary/Sarah treatment of smearing, lying and rumor mongering.

Gov. Palin started the “you can’t touch this” precedent. Here’s hoping Sen. Gillibrand follows it.

 

Even a blind man can see that a strong, independent minded woman beats a pansy “progressive” any day of the week.

Slumdog Millionaires

Community Organizer in Chief Barry Soetoro promises the residents living in the slums of Chicago’s Southside that he would “fix” their housing problems. He and his slum lord partner profitted. Housing got worse. In return for his selfless generosity, the residents gave him votes. It was all about Barry.

Barry visited his impoverished relatives and villagers in Kenya where his (alleged) father grew up. He was doing research for a book about himself . He promised to always be there for them and help them. After he made a killing off his book, he moved his American family into this home with the help of his slum lord friend, Tony Rezko, who, unlike Barry, kept his word in the ongoing quid pro quo. It was all about Barry.

Barry’s Kenyan grandmother Sarah confidently told reporters before his visit: “When he comes down here, he will change the face of the school and, believe me, our poverty in Kogelo will be a thing of the past.” She doesn’t know it’s all about him.

Barry promised the people of the United States of America that he would give tax breaks to the “forgotten middle class” and “not really” welfare checks to those who don’t pay federal income taxes. In return for his promises, the American people loaned him this house.

A trail of broken promises led Barry here. It’s all about him.

We’re Sorry We Made You Blow Up Infidels!

After watching the You Tube video of Barry Soetoro’s first interview as POTUS with the motherland news agency Al-Arabiya, I read the full transcript on its web site. It’s interesting that the last part of the interview was left off the video.

Now I understand the meaning of Barry’s ”A New Direction for America”. We must squat as a nation on our collective knees before those who slowly saw off the heads of ”Infidels” and laughingly display them before a video camera; who strap bombs on themselves, their infants, their children and their mentally and physically handicapped and incinerate a busload of school children or shop full of patrons; who slit the throats of air craft personnel and forever change the landscape of the USA; who have said loudly and repeatedly for 233 YEARS they kill us because WE ARE NOT MUSLIM; and BEG FORGIVENESS because IT’S ALL THE FAULT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

I thought that the weak and feckless leadership of Jimmy the Jew Hater Carter and Bill the Serial Molester Clinton would remain unparalleled in the annals of American history. Clinton allowed Islamic serial mass murder of Americans to go unchecked and unpunished, but even he didn’t advocate for surrender and Jimmy Carter at least had the decency to wait until he was out of office before publicly decrying how the USA and Israel were to blame for every bad thing that’s ever happened in the world.

I naively thought that the small sect within the US that was filled with terrorism apologists, Marxists and anti-Americans were of no consequence in the grander scheme of things. But, while we weren’t watching, they were being heavily funded by “one world” billionaires, attaining tenure in our universities, usurping Christianity with Marxism under an umbrella of “Progressive Christianity” and getting one of their own elected President of the United States of America. This past election saw “them” win local, regional, state and national offices across the country.

In VA’s 5th district, Tom Perriello unseated Rep. Virgil Goode, a 35+ yr. representative. Perriello campaigned heavily on his “Christianity”. He bragged about how many “Christian” organizations he had founded. The Martinsville Bulletin campaigned on his behalf daily. As I have written about earlier, the owners of the Martinsville Bulletin, Robert and Elizabeth Haskell are strong advocates of tax-payer funded universal health care, elementary school sex education, tax-payer funded abortion on demand, restitution instead of incarceration of felons, gun bans, unilateral disarmament, open borders and illegal alien amnesty. They are also advocates of radical environmentalists and oppose all types of mining and believe in man-made global warming.  They are advocates for children and proved it with a $150,000 grant to convicted domestic terrorist Bernadine Dohrn. A list of organizations the Haskells contribute millions of dollars to is here. Rep. Perriello showed his gratitude by appointing Elizabeth Haskell to his transition advisory committee. In short, the Haskells and Perriello are a match made in a Soviet Valhalla.

Perriello founded Res Publica and then teamed up with MoveOn.org to form Avaaz.org. As of a year ago when I last researched Perriello’s “Christian” organizations, the one and only reference I found to Christ was an article entitled “Reassembling the Body of Christ-Renewing Relations with Cuba”. In progressive Christianity, “sin” is owning private property and “salvation” comes from collectivism. Of course, Christ is left out of this “faith” and replaced with the State.

Here’s a little taste of the Soetoro/Perriello/Haskell world view of moral relativism:

Dear BFF Ahmie

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

OF

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President, Iran

Comrade,

Please forgive all the things the U.S. did that made you fund Islamic serial mass murder. I promise there will be no further criticism of your Holocaust denials or killing of members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

In a show of my everlasting friendship and support, I am dispatching my Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, to your wonderful country to present you with two nuclear reactors and a wad of U.S. currency that has been freshly printed just for you, as we have no money in our treasury. As you will recall, Sec. Rodham-Clinton’s husband extended the same courtesy to North Korea and I feel this is the least we can do for you. Since I have a much clearer understanding of the world than the Islamophobic neocons in the previous administration, I realize that you are building nuclear facilities only for electrical energy.

Very truly yours,

Barry Soetoro, President U.S.A.

P.S. If you are offended that a female will be delivering your gifts, please notify me and I will name the replacement of your choice. Also, please advise me if my gift-bearer should convert to the peaceful religion of Islam and I will arrange for the immediate conversion. I have Muslims in my family and I have lived in Muslim countries, you know.

Barry’s Warming Up to New Digs

Washington (PTI): US President Barack Obama has proposed a “truly global coalition”, including Asian giants India and China, to combat climate change and ensure collective energy security of the world.

Speaking by video to a climate conference in Los Angeles, Mr. Obama repeated his campaign vow to reduce climate-altering carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent by 2050, and invest $150 billion in new energy-saving technologies.

“Now is the time to confront this challenge once and for all,” Mr. Obama said. “Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response.”

“I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He’s somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I’m already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now.”

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said. “That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.

WASHINGTON — The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.” (Of course, he hasn’t lived in Hawaii for 30 years. I guess the past 24 Chicago winters didn’t “take”.)

I’ve grown accustomed to the audacity of hypocrisy on the left that preach from the gospel of Global Warming Junk Science Theology. I don’t care about it anymore. What I do care about is that the Oval Office in the White House is once again, being treated with disrespect.

Following the precedent of the last Demi-god to occupy that office, Bill Clinton, Barry Soetoro is setting up a fraternity clubhouse best-place-to-bring-a-date atmosphere in the Oval Office. Maybe he’ll enjoy his own Sig-ar.

Note to Barry: The White House is not your house. It’s the people’s house. It’s on good-faith loan to you for the next four years. That loan can be rescinded.

I Was Tagged

A Facebook friend tagged me. That means I’m supposed to come up with 25 random things people don’t know about me.

Since my life is an open book (boring, but open), this is difficult. I am a simple person who has no use for self-aggrandizement. I have no use for bloggers who think everyone in the world wants to read how wonderful they are (Look, here’s a picture of me with a celebrity). I’ve decided instead to write about why my husband thinks I’m sexist.

I can count on one hand the number of women I’m close to. I’ve always preferred hanging out with men. The reason is simple. Men let go. By “let go”, I mean men have their say or punch the other one and whatever the argument was about is ended. Women drag out arguments until last rites and then they’ll manage to grab the priest’s vestment, pull him down to their mouth and use their last breath, “Father let me tell you what my former best friend said about me”…and recount some perceived insult from 40 years earlier as if it had happened the day before.

There are exceptions to everything. Maybe it’s a hormone imbalance (too much estrogen) or upbringing (“Mama’s special boy”), but some men are women. You meet him at a gathering and he casually mentions in passing how great people think he is, how important he is and how the reason he was invited is because of his celebrity status-a reason to make everyone else want to be there. Then he overhears you telling someone else at the party that you think he’s a pompous jackass. As life goes on, he makes an appearance at every party you attend to pull people aside and tell them about the pain and suffering you’ve inflicted on him. Of course the accounts become more grievous with each telling, “She told everyone, all over town…” Sometimes he switches to intimidation, “If I wasn’t such a good person, I’d sue that witch…” Life continues. Natural catastrophes, wars, elections, births, deaths. Forty years later, “Father, let me tell you…”

I get bored easily. That’s another reason I don’t hang around with hang wringing women or hand wringing men. I’ve learned over my 52 years to push the delete button of life on them. I can continue with my boring life w/o listening to their incessant yammering and they can pump themselves up at the next party, “Let me tell you how I made that bitch run like a scalded dog….” Everyone wins.

(For all those that are “so vain, I bet you think this song about you”…

TAG, YOU’RE IT)

David Ogden-Child Rape Advocate

In Barry Soetoro’s world, the U.S. Constitution is a “deeply flawed”, living and breathing document. NARAL isn’t pro-abortion enough. A “fetus” accidently born alive after a labor-induced partial birth abortion procedure should be tossed into a trash receptacle until “it” dies.

It is not surprising that the Senate Judiciary is holding hearings today on the confirmation of Barry Soetoro’s pick for Assistant U.S. Attorney General, David W. Ogden. Ogden lives in Barry’s world. The U.S. Supreme Court should follow international law. The rape of an infant or child by an adult is a Constitutional Right. Viewing, purchasing and downloading videos of children being raped by an adult is a Constitutional Right.

Barry’s cerebus protectors in the media are publishing headlines about David Ogden defending Playboy Magazine. This will be the framed argument for the left to use when it is smearing traditionalists opposing this nomination.

It chills me to the bone that David W. Ogden’s ideology so mirrors that of one of his former ACLU colleagues, Charles Rust-Tierney.

Charles Rust-Tierney is serving 7 years in a federal facility for viewing, purchasing and downloading, on the computer in his 10-year-old son’s bedroom, videos of screaming infants and toddlers tied up, tortured and violently raped by adults.

Judge T.S. Ellis: “No description I could give could possibly convey what is on these discs.”

(Of note: No photos of Rust-Tierney anywhere on Internet (scrubbed?). Rust-Tierney is NOT on the National Sex Offender Public Registry. Why not?)

I’m Sorry, Kenneth Clodfelter

Sixteen days into his administration, Barry Soetoro has wiped out eight years of bringing Islamic serial mass murderers to justice. For anyone still doubting the lack of respect Soetoro holds for our warriors serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, this last act should erase all doubt.

 

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon’s senior judge overseeing terror trials at Guantanamo Bay dropped charges Thursday against an al-Qaida suspect in the 2000 USS Cole bombing, upholding President Barack Obama’s order to freeze military tribunals there.

The charges against suspected al-Qaida bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri marked the last active Guantanamo war crimes case.

The legal move by Susan J. Crawford, the top legal authority for military trials at Guantanamo, brings all cases into compliance with Obama’s Jan. 22 executive order to halt terrorist court proceedings at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba.

Seventeen U.S. sailors died on Oct. 12, 2000, when al-Qaida suicide bombers steered an explosives-laden boat into the Cole, a guided-missile destroyer, as it sat in a Yemen port.

The Pentagon last summer charged al-Nashiri, a Saudi Arabian, with “organizing and directing” the bombing and planned to seek the death penalty in the case.

In his Jan. 22 order, Obama promised to shut down the Guantanamo prison within a year. The order also froze all Guantanamo detainee legal cases pending a three-month review as the Obama administration decides where — or whether — to prosecute the suspects who have been held there for years, most without charges.

 

John and Gloria Clodfelter, like Del. Frank Hargrove, I will remember Petty Officer 2nd Class Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter.

Another shovel-ready success!

CAIRO (AP) — Hamas negotiators left Egypt without a long-term cease-fire with Israel on Thursday — but not before some members of the militant group’s delegation were stopped at the Gaza border carrying millions in cash.

The delegation walked away from the cease-fire talks because of disagreements over the blockage on Gaza and border security. Talks will continue at a later date.

An Egyptian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the group initially refused to be searched by Egyptian authorities at the Rafah border crossing. When the group relented, authorities found $7 million and 2 million euros ($2.5 million) in cash in their suitcases. Another security official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said $9 million and 2 million euros were found. The discrepancy could not be immediately explained.

The incident is a sensitive one for Egypt, particularly now, when Israel is demanding a halt to Hamas smuggling into Gaza as part of truce negotiations.

Israel and Hamas do not talk directly, so Egypt has been mediating the talks on solidifying the shaky cease-fire that went into effect on Jan. 18, ending Israel’s three-week offensive on Gaza.

Egypt had set Thursday as an expected date for reaching a long-term truce deal.

In 2006, a senior Hamas official bragged about successfully carrying $42 million across the border.

Arab banks have generally refused to transfer money to Gaza for fear of running afoul of the United States, which considers Hamas a terrorist organization. The money has helped keep afloat the Hamas government, which is generally shunned by foreign governments.

Martinsville’s Cousin Eddies

Cousin Eddie Johnson is a character in National Lampoon’s “Vacation” movies.

Cousin Eddie, his wife Catherine and two of their four children live in an RV. Cousin Eddie’s family has to eat Hamburger Helper without the hamburger. His children get no Christmas gifts. They have no indoor plumbing.

You see, Cousin Eddie supports his family on a disability pension from the Army. He has been out of work for 7 years. Why would a man allow his family to live in squalor; without even the basic essentials to sustain human life? “He’s been holding out for a management position”.

Cousin Eddie complains about the lack of funds from the federal government. “I got laid off when they closed that asbestos factory, and now wouldn’t you know it, the army cuts my disability pension because they said that the plate in my head wasn’t big enough”.

I grew up in a town full of Cousin Eddies and their off-spring, Cousin Eddie, Jr., Cousin Eddie III…..generations of Cousin Eddies. It’s called Martinsville, VA.

Today the Richmond Times Dispatch ran a story about Martinsville, VA. More specifically, a story about the jobless rate in Martinsville. The statewide jobless rate in the Commonwealth of Virginia is 5.4%. The jobless rate in Martinsville is 15.4%; the highest in the Commonwealth. How can this be? From the story:

The big plants started shutting or leaving more than a decade ago as federal trade policies changed, and more have closed in the past two years.

Today, 31.5 percent of Martinsville residents 25 or older do not have a high school diploma, compared with 18.5 percent statewide, according to census figures.

City Manager Clarence Monday: “With the manufacturing jobs gone or going, those who can find work are taking low-paying positions. A large percentage of our work force is underemployed. They’ve had to accept jobs that don’t have the same salary.”

Earlier this month, Barry Soetoro used a Martinsville family as poster children when he signed into  legislation the massive SCHIP expansion. How does Martinsville, VA react to its problems making the front page of the state’s largest newspaper and captured for eternity in a legislative bill-signing photo-op?

The Martinsville Bulletin completely ignored the jobless story. In its place, the Bulletins owners, Robert and Elizabeth Haskell, chose to publish on their editorial page praise for Barry Soetoro using the same poster family they themselves had used for a Georgetown University study that they themselves had funded.

Take This Card…Take My House

Yesterday’s stop was in Florida in the  American Tour of the  Barry Soetoro’s Squirrel Revival of the First Self-Righteous Church.

 By some miracle, a 61-yr-old homeless cancer patient (living in a pickup truck for a year) named Henrietta Hughes was able to obtain an advance ticket,  procure a front-row seat  and (this is REALLY a miracle) was called upon by Brother Barry himself!

A staffer later gave her a card to the head of the housing authority and she was told he would help her.

“That was my desire,” the 61-year-old woman said as she cried. “I said I just pray to the Lord.”

I haven’t heard yet if Henrietta has decided to keep the card to the Housing Authority that already has her on a 2-yr waiting list or the 3-bedroom house. I also haven’t heard yet if Henrietta has learned the difference between Fake Messiah Bullshit and Christian Conservative True Grit.

Nancy Pelosi’s Sonny Drysdale

Remember Sonny Drysdale on the Beverly Hillbillies? He was a 40-yr-old perennial college student and prissy mommy’s boy. Mommy always took care of him.

Speaker of the U.S. House of Represetatives, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has her own Sonny. His name is Paul Pelosi, Jr. Mommy will pay you to play with Little Paulie.

Little Paulie holds three degrees from Georgetown University: a Bachelor of Arts in History (Cum Laude, 1991), a Juris Doctorate with an emphasis in International Business, and a Masters in Business Administration. He is an “independent adviser” and “independent consultant”.

On Dec 5, 2008 Blue Earth Solutions appointed Little Paulie to its Board of Directors.  In 2001, Little Paulie was appointed by Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. to the San Francisco Commission on the Environment. Little Paulie is an adviser to Dr. Simon P. Worden, Director of NASA’s Ames Research Center. Little Paulie is an adviser for AirPatrol Corporation and ”founding member” of Cisco Connected Urban Development. Cisco also employs Dr. Kaveh Safavi who developed a fully automated electronic medical record system.How much money is Mommy taking out of your pockets, your children’s pockets and your grandchildren’s pockets to pay for playing with Little Paulie?

90 BILLION DOLLARS**

She calls it the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Just For You, CATO

I like posting at the Martinsville Media Forum. There’s a mix of everything there; Cousin Eddies, Libertarians, Pseudo-intellectuals, Christian Conservatives, Communist Party believers, really nice people, really cruel people and some just plain regular folk. Bill Wyatt, the owner of Martinsville Media, has some good rules there about personal attacks and cursing. Since that’s what I’m about to do, I’ve decided to post a response to this post here.

A new thread started by a regular poster, CATO, today: (note: While you’re reading through the misspellings…CATO is an ATTORNEY.)

Torture: What do we do?

With the statements of Conyers, Leahy, etc…it is clear that the Congress will do some sort of investigation into Bush Era policies with particular attention to allegations of rendition, secret prisons and torture. Quite frankly, I wish the relevany Chairman were a little more pragmatic instead of approaching the left wing fringe, but I beleive that an investigation is proper.

Here is what the ACLU is finidng out through FOIA requests:

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Unredacted_documents_reveal_prisoners_tortured_to_0212.html

Note the article provides links to some of the actual documents. Some highlights are:

“In both cases, for example, [prisoners] were handcuffed to fixed objects above their heads in order to keep them awake,” reads the document. “Additionally, interrogations in both incidents involved the use of physical violence, including kicking, beating, and the use of “compliance blows” which involved striking the [prisoners] legs with the [interrogators] knees. In both cases, blunt force trauma to the legs was implicated in the deaths. In one case, a pulmonary embolism developed as a consequence of the blunt force trauma, and in the other case pre-existing coronary artery disease was complicated by the blunt force trauma.”

“[An] investigation launched after allegations that an Iraqi prisoner was subjected to torture and abuse at ‘The Disco’ (located in the Special Operations Force Compound in Mosul Airfield, Mosul, Iraq). The abuse consisted of filling his jumpsuit with ice, then hosing him down and making him stand for long periods of time, sometimes in front of an air conditioner; forcing him to lay down and drink water until he gagged, vomited or choked, having his head banged against a hot steel plate while hooded and interrogated; being forced to do leg lifts with bags of ice placed on his ankles, and being kicked when he could not do more.

I realize this will likely deteriorate into partisan idiocy, but this has to be investigated. In my mind, the focus should be on the POLICYMAKERS such as John Yoo, Gonzales, Addington, etc..and not on the boots on the ground. I was in the military long enough to know NCOs dont go rogue. They folow orders. I have never believed the “official” version of Abu Gharib and the lambs they offered for slaughter.

This is too important to sweep under the rug.

First of all, for anyone with so much shit for brains they don’t know what torture is, let me explain it:

THIS IS TORTURE

This little girl is wearing her school uniform. She was kidnapped, tortured and beheaded because she is a Christian. The “Bush Era Policy-makers” didn’t do this.

This is Nick Berg’s head. It’s a still shot from the video his murderers posted of their great accomplishment. Ever see how “The Lambs” behead someone, dumbass? They don’t use a sword and whack it off. They slowly saw it off with a knife. Can you hear Nick Berg screaming, ass-wipe? I hope so. I hope it gets so loud the next time you blame America first, it keeps you awake at night. The “Bush Era Policy-makers” didn’t do this.

This is an American, dickhead. He was someone’s dad, son and husband. He was burned alive, dismembered and hung up like a piece of meat. Can you imagine what his body must smell like? I hope you can. I hope everytime you shower with some girly soap and splash on your “Eau de Big Pussy” cologne, you smell HIM instead. The “Bush Era Policy-makers” did this.

How difficult would it be to be given the choice of being incinerated or jump from a skyscraper? I hope the next time you’re making the decision to defend your “lambs”, you think about this man, maggot. The “Bush Era Policy-makers” didn’t do this.

What kind of torture would it be to sift through the fumes of toxic jet engine fuel, the smell of burnt flesh and tons of skyscraper cement looking for any scrap of your best friend? You’ve laughed with him and cried with him. He was there for your son’s christening and your daughter’s wedding. You’re the one he called when his mother died. You saw him just a couple of hours ago. What if it was 366 of your best friends, asshole? The “Bush Era Policy-makers” didn’t do this.

How many people in the United States of America do you think give one rat’s ass if “the lambs” get water poured up their noses, are subjected to rock music or deprived of 8 hours sleep? I would say, if you take out the old hippies, socialists, progressives and members of the peaceful religion of Islam, the number is ZERO.

I think Guantanamo was a mistake, also. The ones caught on the battlefield should have been tortured until useful information was extracted and verified and then killed. A good start would have been John Walker Lindh.

While we’re on the subject of torture, let us not forget infants, toddlers and children brutally raped, tortured and video-taped by sick, repulsive, wastes of human space? ACLU fan that you are, surely it must please you that it isn’t only Islamic serial mass murderers these slimes ardently support, but child rapists, also. The ACLU represents both groups pro bono.

Don’t bother wrapping yourself in the “moral authority” of an amoral group with the idiotic whining of “But if we totuuurrre, we’re no better than theemmm”…..

You and the ACLU are not just “no better than them”. You’re worse.

Drive-By Fruiting

When Conservatives were trying to get the Barry Soetoro-controlled media to report on his illegal campaign contributions from Islamic serial mass murderers Hamas during the 2008 presidential election, Barry’s Cerberus Squad focused its attention on something really morally repugnant. Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) had been given (GASP!) $150,000 in clothes from the RNC! The Chicago Tribune, AP, The Washington Post, CBS Evening News, ETC. ad nauseam, with FOLLOW UPS continuing even AFTER the election.

Associated Press Writer

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s favorite consignment shop has been forced to change its name after she brought the trendy, upscale Anchorage boutique unintended legal problems during last year’s presidential campaign.

 

Out of the Closet owner Ellen Arvold said she was served a cease-and-desist letter by a Los Angeles-based chain of thrift stores with the same name—same trademarked name, it turned out—after Palin mentioned her store in an interview.

 

Rather than fight, Arvold agreed to change the name to Second Run. The change is effective Saturday, the store’s fifth anniversary.

“We don’t have the resources to fight,” Arvold said. “We just decided to change the name. We really had no choice legally.”

 

In an interview with Fox News in October, she said she was a frugal shopper and her favorite shop was “a consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska, called Out of the Closet.”

 

Ged Kenslea, spokesman for AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the owner and operator of the Out of the Closet thrift store chain, said if it weren’t for Palin, the duplicative name “wouldn’t have landed on the radar.”

“We’ve invested a lot of time, energy and money or resources branding Out of the Closet, tied specifically to our HIV/AIDS mission to provide care and advocacy regardless of a patient’s ability to pay,” Kenslea said. “She was very gracious and agreed to change the name of her store.”

 

As for Palin’s high priced wardrobe, the Republican National Committee has said it would be donated to charity. Neither Palin nor RNC officials immediately responded to interview requests on Friday.  (As God is my witness, I didn’t make this up.)

If the campaign duds haven’t been distributed yet, Kenslea said the charity would be happy to take them.

I, for one, am pleased that Ellen chose to do the morally correct thing, and not give cross-dressers in San Francisco a bad name.

In 2004 when the U.S. Senate gathered for its official portrait, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) approached VP Dick Cheney like they were old friends. VP Cheney’s response was, “Go fuck yourself”.  

There are many reasons why VP Cheney would respond to Sen. Leahy in this manner. Leahy’s head looks like a scrotum sac and he acts like  a dickhead are a couple of thoughts that immediately come to mind. It’s not quite that simple. You see, Pat and Dick have known each a long time. Back in the mid ’80’s, VP Cheney was Rep. Richard Cheney (R-WY). Sen. Patrick Leahy was a member of the U.S. Senate’s Intelligence Committee.

Jul 22, 1987 [William E. Colby]’s remarks came as Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., one of two congressmen accused of threatening to leak secrets about a U.S. covert operation against Libya in 1985, denied the charge at a Washington news conference. At the time of the leak, Leahy was vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Sen. Dave Durenberger, R-Minn., chairman of the panel, also was reported in The Times story as having threatened to reveal the planned covert operation involving the United States and two North African countries to unseat Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi.

Sen. Leahy gave a copy of the U.S. Senate’s Intelligence Committee’s Iran-Contra Report to NBC News. Tom Brokaw reported on NBC Nightly News on Tuesday, Jul 28, 1987 that Leahy had resigned from his place on the committee.

Congress started going bat-shit over the Reagan Administration keeping intelligence close to the vest.

Representative Dick Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, said the Leahy incident made it ”a little more understandable why the Administration has, over the months and years, been concerned about dealing with Congress on sensitive intelligence matters.”

Now Leaky Leahy wants a “truth squad” in an effort to prosecute the Bush Administration because he’s pissed off about being kept out of the loop.

Let’s roll, senator, let’s roll!

Moral Ambiguity

The Kinsey Report: Sex Habits of American Men written by zoologist Alfred Kinsey was published in 1948. On 16May48, the NYT loved it. On 18July65, it published “A new Kinsey report challenges the popular conceptions of sexual criminals as crazed by narcotics, aroused by pornography or goaded by senile desire. …”

The Kinsey Report includes a lot of “findings” from “studies”, but the most notable “study” was on infants and children.

…. before the arrival of orgasm, will fight away from the partner and may make violent attempts to avoid climax although they derive definite pleasure from the situation.

Kinsey used his “ medical and scientific data” to separate sex and morality. He found no reason to prohibit incest or adult-child sex, and that laws punishing and prohibiting these acts should be overturned.

In 1969 NAMBLA was founded.

The ACLU represents infant and child rapists in court pro bono because it is a Constitution Right of adults to rape infants and children. It falls under the First Amendment’s “free speech”.

For 25 years Congressional Democrats, most notably Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MASS), blocked legislation for a national sex offender registry. On 27July06, Pres. George W. Bush was able to finally sign the “Adam Walsh Act into law. 

“Constitution” supporters have been trying to have the law overturned. Groups such as Constitutional Fights (founded by a “Reagan Conservative”) stay abreast of the constant struggle to legalize infant and child rape. (Note to child rape supporters: Not in a million years would anyone believe any of you are a “Reagan Conservative”.)

Brent Bozell writes in his 16Feb09 column about a Kinsey wannabe:

Daniel Bergner isn’t the devil’s advocate, but he is a pervert’s apologist. This author and contributor to the New York Times Magazine has a new book titled “The Other Side of Desire” which argues it is unfair to judge bizarre, harmful, and disgusting sexual attractions as bizarre, harmful, and disgusting.

 

Bergner’s book focuses on four real-life fetishists: a husband with a secret foot fetish, a man with an attraction to amputees, a vicious female sadist, and a man who longs for sex with his 12-year-old stepdaughter. Book reviews and interviews suggest he hasn’t written a book to judge the fetishists, but rather to judge the society that would rush to condemn their drives and behaviors.

Bergner tries to define deviancy down by quoting one of his experts, a New York psychiatrist who quips, “perversion can be defined as the sex that you like and I don’t.”

Unsurprisingly, Bergner has the support of many book critics. Media outlets enjoyed promoting the book by picking out and running with the most salacious tidbits. The book contains several subplots beneath its four primary characters. A Bergner interview with Salon.com began by introducing readers to one of the minor characters in the book, a Wall Street retiree wearing a red latex bodysuit and a black hood who is strapped to a table while electric shocks are surged into his genitals.

The USA 2009: “Progressive” haven for those who think that infant and child rape isn’t torture; it’s to provide sexual pleasure for the infant or child. Electrocution of the genitals provides sexual pleasure unless it is used on a serial mass murdering terrorist, whereby it is torture.

Not Hard To Outclass Matt Lauer

Hey Matt, if you’re going to interview a historian, it might help to know a little history instead of just regurgitating talking points.

Karl Rove bitch slaps the little bitch, Matt Lauer:

Soul is More than a James Brown CD

The economic “crisis” which is sliding into a “catastrophe” wasn’t on Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi’s mind when she and her husband jetted off to Rome for a vacation. Our children and grandchildren are funding the Pelosis’ photo opportunities. By “our” children and grandchildren, I mean the children and grandchildren of those of us who pay federal taxes, earn an income, own a small business and pay our mortgages on time. By “us”, I mean the ones who the Speaker of the House of U.S. Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, decided behind a closed door have to pay labor unions, ACORN, Fannie and Freddie and banks for massive failures, mismanagement and fraud.

This trip is the ultimate “in your face”, “I won”, moment.

How appropriate and deserving that in return for her unmitigated arrogance, Mzzz Pelosi got her own “in your face”  in the form of a “come to Jesus” moment.

The Vatican:

TESTO IN LINGUA INGLESE

Following the General Audience the Holy Father briefly greeted Mrs Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, together with her entourage.

His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church’s consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development.

[00300-02.01]

[B0117-XX.01]

San Fran Nan undoubtedly thought this would be a great photo-op to prove her relevancy outside the communities of cross dressers, child rapists and partial birth abortionists. Ah, but the Holy Father does not appreciate arrogant duplicity.

Perriello and Haskells Stimulating the 5th

U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA-5th), founder of Res Publica (If you aren’t a socialist, you’re selfish) and Avaaz (We hate Jews and you should, too), which is a spin-off combining Res Publica and MoveOn (We’re traitors and you should hate America, too), spoke at Martinsville High School yesterday.

The Martinsville Bulletin, owned by Robert and Elizabeth Haskell, who award grants to ACORN and convicted domestic terrorist Bernadine Dohrn,  among others, ran a story today about Perriello’s visit.

“Sizing up the stimulus”-Perriello tells bill’s impact

If federal, state and local officials work together to use the funds from the $787 billion stimulus bill, the economy will begin to recover from this “very, very serious crisis,” 5th District U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello said Wednesday.

Perriello spoke at a forum at Martinsville High School. He explained some of the highlights of the bill and how Virginians will be helped, and then fielded questions about the stimulus bill and other subjects from more than a dozen people. Nearly 100 people attended the event, which lasted more than an hour. Here’s a photo of the “nearly 100 people”.

According to Perriello and a press release from his office, the stimulus bill:

• Provides tax relief for families and small businesses. More than 35 percent of the package will provide direct tax relief to 95 percent of American workers and spur job growth for businesses. (About that “direct tax relief”…It was cut from $500 for individuals and $1000 to couples down to $400 and $800. For 6 months, June-Dec, 2009, workers will get $13 more in their paychecks per week.  In January 2010, that falls to $8.)

According to a new White House estimate, 7,800 jobs will be created or saved in the 5th District as a result of this stimulus package, 200 more than estimated earlier, said Jessica Barba, Perriello’s press secretary. (About those jobs…Small business tax benefit was gutted from $67 billion to only $4 billion. In place of relief for the little guy, a $3.2 billion tax break for General Motors Corp was added.)

Nita Hairston of Henry County was at the forum with her sons Benton and Bryant Hairston, 10th-graders at Martinsville High School who are in the JROTC program at the school. They want to go to Virginia Military Institute and enter the military.

She asked Perriello about the war in Afghanistan. Perriello said the United States needs a “force commitment” but needs to articulate its strategy and end goal. (Mrs. Hairston, you’ll notice your question wasn’t answered. Here’s why:

Veterans: Nearly all items for Veterans Affairs were reduced and the $2 billion the Senate wanted for VA construction was wiped out altogether. The VA did get one thing: $1 billion for medical facilities renovation and retooling.

Military construction: Cut and put into a general pot, a change from targeted money for each branch of the services. Army construction alone went from $600 million in the Senate and $900 million in the House to $180 million in the final bill. But negotiators compromised over a general military construction fund — the House wanted $3.75 billion while the Senate allocated $118 million and settled on $1.45 billion for all services. )

 

 

FBI: Senate had allocated $475 million but all was cut out of final bill.

Who Did Eric Holder Forget?

Eric Holder outing himself as a race-baiter didn’t surprise me. The MSM’s double standard in dealing with Eric Holder’s repugnant race-baiting didn’t surprise me.

After all, this is the man who promoted the pardon of Marc Rich, a man who was a business partner of the Iranian government during the hostage crisis. This is the man who promoted the pardons of Weather Underground terrorists Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans.

This is the man, who as Janet Reno’s Deputy AG, declined to address Jamie Gorelick’s “wall” between information sharing of governmental intelligence agencies.

It didn’t surprise me that during his speech to the USDOJ, that of the 18 Black Americans Eric Holder chose to name for their contributions to Black equal rights, NOT ONE OF THEM EVER WORE A U.S. MILITARY UNIFORM. It didn’t surprise me because he probably doesn’t even know about any of them. After all, like almost all of Barry Soetoro’s administration, Eric Holder is a retread from the Bill “I loathe the military” Clinton.

Let me help you Eric.

This  is Sergeant William Harvey Carney. He was the FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN TO EARN THE NATION’S HIGHEST AWARD, THE MEDAL OF HONOR.

This is Lt. Roger “Bill” Terry. HE IS A TUSKEGEE AIRMAN. HE IS A PATRIOT. HE WAS COURT MARTIALED FOR BREAKING DOWN RACIAL BARRIERS.

Approval Down, Disapproval Up

Of course, it’s the fault of the “chattering class” on “cable television”. Barry Soetoro, again today, blamed “cable television” for people not supporting his Massive New Government Spending Bill dressed up as “economic stimulus”.

Now we know the reason for Barry’s overall approval being down and overall disapproval being up. Americans are too stupid to think for themselves.

Hey, Barry. Here’s a news flash. If it walks like a duck…..

Bill Moyers-Homo Hunter

From the Wall Street Journal:

Under the Freedom of Information Act, the Washington Post has obtained a few of the former FBI director’s secret files. According to a Thursday front-page story, Hoover was “consumed” with exposing a (nonexistent) relationship between a gay photographer and Jack Valenti, the late film industry lobbyist who was then an aide to Lyndon Johnson. Hoover’s M.O. was to amass incriminating personal information as political blackmail.

But as the Post reports in passing, the dossier also reveals that Mr. Moyers — then a special assistant to LBJ — requested in 1964 that Hoover’s G-men “investigate two other administration figures who were ’suspected as having homosexual tendencies.’”

Amid “bits of dirt on figures such as Martin Luther King,” Judge Silberman found a 1964 memo from Mr. Moyers directing Hoover’s agents to investigate Barry Goldwater’s campaign staff for evidence of homosexual activity. A few weeks before, an LBJ aide named Walter Jenkins had been arrested in a men’s bathroom, and Mr. Silberman wrote that Mr. Moyers and his boss evidently wanted leverage in the event Goldwater tried to use the liaison against them. (He didn’t, as it happened.)

When that episode became public after Mr. Silberman testified, an irate Mr. Moyers called him and, with typical delicacy, accused him of falling for forged CIA memos. Mr. Silberman offered to study the matter and, should Mr. Moyers’s allegations pan out, he would publicly exonerate him. “There was a pause on the line and then he said, ‘I was very young. How will I explain this to my children?’ And then he rang off.”

Bill Moyers is disputably the king of unsubstantiated allegations against the Bush Administration. The only thing he despises as much as Karl Rove is a Christian house of worship. How his ass must be chafing now that the FOIA has exposed him as a little dirt-digging homophobic cretin; especially in light of the fact that no evidence has ever surfaced of Rove doing anything Moyers ever accused him of.

This video of a former Senior Presidential Adviser sliming another is especially SWEET.

 

 

 

Where is Charles Rust-Tierney?

UPDATE AT BOTTOM

I have mentioned Charles Rust-Tierney before. Rust-Tierney was president of the ACLU’s Virginia affiliate from 1993 to 2005. He had coached youth baseball, soccer and football teams since 2003, according to law enforcement officials. He once served as president of Arlington Little League. He fought strenuously against anti-pornography filters on public library computers.

On 07Sept07, Charles Rust-Tierney was sentenced in Alexandria, VA to 7 years in federal prison by U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III for purchasing child rape and torture videos, which he accessed on the computer in his 11-yr-old son’s bedroom.

From The Washington Post 09/07/07:

Rust-Tierney was arrested Feb. 23 after his Arlington home was searched by officers from Arlington police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The raid was part of a nationwide initiative — Project Safe Childhood — that was created in February 2006 by U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales.

Authorities said Rust-Tierney used his home computer to purchase Internet access to commercial child pornography Web sites at least five times between March 2005 and October 2006, spending about $420. During one two-week span, he accessed more than 850 digital image and video files of child pornography on one site. Many of these files showed children under the age of 12 being forced to engage in sexual acts with adult males, authorities said.

A federal magistrate who declined to release him in March described the images she viewed as “the most perverted and nauseating and sickening type of child pornography” she had seen in 10 years on the bench.

Ellis also refused to release Rust-Tierney, saying he posed “a serious risk of harm to the community.” The judge added that “the term ‘child pornography’ does not convey the depravity” of the images that were downloaded.

Here’s the rub. Charles Rust-Tierney IS NOT LISTED ON THE NATIONAL SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY. Charles Rust-Tierney is NOT LISTED ON THE VIRGINIA SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY.**

What’s going on here? Is he being protected? If so, how and by whom? I sent an email to DOJ inquiring about this and they referred me to the state registry. Today I sent them the second notification about Rust-Tierney.

THERE ARE NO PHOTOS OF CHARLES RUST-TIERNEY ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. WHY? WHO SCRUBBED THEM AND WHY?

The closest I could find is his ex-wife, Diann Rust-Tierney, an anti-death penalty advocate:

And Gabriel Rust-Tierney (?son), a UVA student who was arrested with 3 others for kidnapping another student:

**UPDATE: IRECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM VSP:

Curiouser and curiouser…..

Hollyweird Codel

By now, everyone has probably read about Hollyweird’s latest stunt. Some are in IRAN on a completely apolitical, “cultural exchange”.

The absolute BEST take on it, IMO, comes from Pat Dollard.

Enjoy.

McCain Outs Little Porky Projects

“I am gonna tweet the TOP TEN PORKIEST PROJECTS in the Omnibus Spending bill the Congress is about to pass,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., wrote on his Twitter page yesterday.

“#10. $1.7M “for a honey bee factory” in Weslaco, TX
“#9. $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah
“#8. $200,000 “tattoo removal violence outreach program to could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past.”
“#7. $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center
“#6. $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah
“#5. $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi”
“#4. $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York
“#3. $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas
“#2. $2 million ‘for the promotion of astronomy’ in Hawaii -
“#1. $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa”

All sound like “shovel-ready” projects to me, Sen. McCain.

Megalomaniac And The Heroes

Megalomaniac-in-Chief, Barry Soetoro, delivered “his” plan for Iraq withdrawal to the Warrior Heroes stationed at Camp LeJeune, NC last week. In actuality, “Barry’s Plan” has already been crafted. It’s called SOFA. The Iraqi and Bush administrations crafted it and Barry didn’t have a damned thing to do with it.

“As a candidate for president, I made clear my support for a timeline of 16 months to carry out this drawdown, while pledging to consult closely with our military commanders upon taking office to ensure that we preserve the gains we’ve made and protect our troops,” Obama said. “Those consultations are now complete, and I have chosen a timeline that will remove our combat brigades over the next 18 months. “Let me say this as plainly as I can: By Aug. 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end.”

 

It looks like some in the audience remembered that the only reason he traveled to Iraq was to demand Iraqi leaders delay a SOFA agreement until after Pres. Bush was out of office.

Maybe some in the audience are questioning the judgement of a Commander in Chief candidate who voted against funding troops on the battlefield because the U.S. did not surrender first.

Maybe some are remembering that Barry Soetoro’s timeline for Iraq withdrawal changed with each public opinion poll.

Maybe some are remembering that Barry’s nominee for U.S. Solicitor General fights to keep the ROTC off college campuses, but is happy to give a scholarship to anti-American Pakistani student Samad Khurram.

All of them were trying to swallow the bile that wanted to projectile-vomit out of their collective mouths onto the face of the lying rat bastard standing before them who had the unmitigated audacity to claim the Petraeus/Crocker/Bush Strategy was HIS idea.

FYI, Barry…It’s called the Anaconda Strategy.

AND YOU DIDN’T HAVE A DAMNED THING TO DO WITH IT.

URBAN HEALTH INITIATIVE FOR ALL!

What do you call health “care” involving Michelle (finally proud of her country) Soetoro, David (astroturfer) Axelrod, Valerie (slumlord) Jarrett, Dr. Eric (Rezko kickbacks) Whitaker, Tony (convicted felon slumlord) Rezko and Rod (impeached governor) Blagojevich?

The president of the American College of Emergency Physicians, Dr. Nick Jouriles, calls it “dangerously close to ‘patient dumping,’ a practice made illegal by the Emergency Medical Labor and Treatment Act, and reflected an effort to ‘cherry pick’ wealthy patients over poor.”

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ),  said its an effort to “cut coverage for the poor.”

I think most clear-thinking individuals would call it PATIENT DUMPING.

But what is the Soetoro/Axelrod/Jarrett/Whittaker/Rezko/Blagojevich “health care” plan called?

THE URBAN HEALTH INITIATIVE

Here’s how it works:

Suppose you’re a poor Southside Chicago resident that used to live in a government-subsidized housing unit owned by Valerie Jarrett or Tony Rezko, before the building was condemned, closed and demolished. Your 2-yr-old has eaten some lead-based paint chips that have fallen off the wall and into his crib. He is crying from stomach pains. You’re horrified. You scoop him up, run to a bus stop and get him to the Emergency Room at the University of Chicago. You try as best you can to comfort your child while checking in at the reception desk. “No, I don’t have insurance”, you tell the receptionist, as you fumble for a tissue to wipe up some of the vomit your son has just regurgitated on the floor.

You take your crying child to the waiting room to anxiously await his treatment. After an hour, you notice that several well-dressed individuals have been called back, even though they arrived after you and your son. After 3 hours, you keep putting your face close to your child’s mouth and nose because he has fallen into a deep sleep and you’re afraid he may die in your arms. After 4 hours, a shuttle bus arrives to take you and your son (free of charge) to a “less expensive” clinic….

How is the Chicago Urban Health Initiative relevant to most Americans?

Suppose you’ve signed up for SoetoroCare, outlined in the “stimulus bill”. Your child is very sick….. 

THE STUPIDSKY

What is the first thing a president with no foreign policy experience does right out of the shoot? He has the Russians rolling on the floor laughing their collective asses off at his childish naiveté.

In the same week that U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is scheduled to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Geneva, the New York Times publishes a story about Barry Soetoro sending a “I like you. Do you like me? Check yes, no, maybe.” letter to Russian President Dmitri A. Medvedev.

 President Obama sent a secret letter to Russia’s president last month suggesting that he would back off deploying a new missile defense system in Eastern Europe if Moscow would help stop Iran from developing long-range weapons, American officials said Monday.

The letter to President Dmitri A. Medvedev was hand-delivered in Moscow by top administration officials three weeks ago. It said the United States would not need to proceed with the interceptor system, which has been vehemently opposed by Russia since it was proposed by the Bush administration, if Iran halted any efforts to build nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles.

Needless to say, two of America’s strongest and most committed allies, Poland and the Czech Republic are horrified, as the missile defense shield is to protect them from Iran’s nuclear threat.

To recap, in the space of a few days, Barry Soetoro has managed to bitch slap his Secretary of State, make the U.S. a laughing stock in Russia and insult some of America’s greatest allies. Change we can believe in….

Gov. Palin’s Russian Diplomacy

I’m sure Barry Soetoro’s ass is chafing from his stack of foreign policy blunders this week. From publicly bitch-slapping his Secretary of State to being seen as a weak, sniveling little joke in Russia, to scaring the beJesus out of American allies, to insulting Great Britain, ole Barry’s been on a roll demonstrating why a “community organizer” lacks sufficient knowledge and experience to lead the greatest nation.

But I think Barry Soetoro’s candy-ass was already chafing because of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK). You see, Gov. Palin did something in January that the media didn’t report on, but that Barry knows about because of his continued obsession with her; so much so, that he’s even hired a political party hack of no distinction, Alaskan State Senator Kim (‘troopergate”) Elton to be “Director of Alaskan Affairs”.

Here’s what Gov. Sarah Palin did:

January 2, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin today is welcoming an international delegation of diplomats who are traveling to Alaska to celebrate Alaska Statehood Day on January 3, 2009. Representatives from several Asian and European countries accepted Governor Palin’s invitation to participate in weekend celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of Alaska being admitted to the Union.

“We welcome these representatives with our best Alaska hospitality. We are pleased with their recognition of the importance of our 50th anniversary,” Governor Palin said. “It is a special honor to welcome Ambassador Kislyak and to showcase our state to this high-profile international group.”

Among the traveling dignitaries is Mr. Sergey Kislyak, newly appointed Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United States, who is making his first visit to Alaska.

“I am so pleased to be here this weekend,” Ambassador Kislyak said. “As discussed in my meeting with Governor Palin, it is encouraging to note the similarities between Alaska and the Russian Far East. Our existing commercial connections and the mutually beneficial nature of our professional partnerships can only help provide a measure of stability as, together, we face the global economic challenges that lie ahead.”

Ambassador Kislyak also met with representatives of the Aleut International Association, Institute of the North, Alaska Rule of Law Initiative, National Parks Service, ISER Alaska Chukotka Project, and Turnagain Elementary School Russian Immersion Program, all of whom have been involved in multi-year Russia-related projects.

In addition to Ambassador Kislyak, foreign dignitaries include Yuri Gerasin, Consul General of the Russian Federation; Julian Evans, British Consul General; John Mataira, Consul General of New Zealand; Balazs Bokor, Consul General of Hungary; Sten Arne Rosnes, Consul General of Norway; Haryong Lee, Consul General of Korea; Fred Santos, Consul of The Philippines; Mel Knight, Alberta’s Minister of Energy; Marvin Schneider, Alberta’s Executive Director of the U.S. and Americas; and Haijun Wang, Deputy Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office of China’s Heilongjiang Province. Mr. Wang is leading a four-person delegation from Heilongjiang Province, a sister province to Alaska, and China’s northernmost region.

NOTE TO BARRY SOETORO: THIS IS WHAT EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE.

Baucus Balking

Jake Tapper and crew interviewed  Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chair of the Senate Finance Committee, for the ABC News Shuffle Podcast.

Baucus said he was “concerned” about President Obama’s proposal to help pay for health care reform by reducing the amount in itemized deductions (mortgage interest, charitable donations, etc.) that those earning more than $250,000 a year can claim on their taxes.

“It’s an issue,” Baucus said, “but there are lots of different ways to solve this one, there’s always a solution…you just have to look hard enough and carefully enough and creatively enough to find a solution and if not that tax provision, there may be some other.”

To borrow from Shawn Hannity’s “liberal translation treatment”, that’s what Baucus said, but here’s what he meant:

Cut itemized deductions on the rich, my ass. Look you little community organizing idiot…. NOW you’re in MY pockets.

What’s that? I think I hear Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Charlie Rangel, former HHS Secretary nominee Tom Daschle, former OMB nominee Nancy Killefer, Secretary of labor Hilda Solis and Trade Representative designate Ron Kirk laughing: Baucus pays taxes! Hee hee hee… stop it…haw haw…before you make me…snort snort… pee my pants… 

Ole Juan Cole The Lying Ole Troll

Juan Cole is a professor of Middle East and South Asian history at the University of Michigan. He’s also a blogger. Prof. Cole is a very important person. If you don’t believe me, just ask him.

Not everyone, however, is as enamored with Prof. Cole as he is with himself. Christopher Hitchens describes him as “a minor nuisance on the fringes of the academic Muslim apologist community. At one point, there was a danger that he would become a go-to person for quotes in New York Times articles (a sort of Shiite fellow-traveling version of Norman Ornstein, if such an alarming phenomenon can be imagined), but this crisis appears to have passed….who affects such expertise in Persian, cannot decipher the plain meaning of a celebrated statement and is, furthermore, in need of a remedial course in English”.

Yale University shared the same opinion, when in 2006, it denied him a faculty position, based on an assessment of Cole’s scholarly work. Very Important Person Cole blamed his rejection at an Ivy League university on “a concerted press campaign by neoconservatives…(which) was inappropriate and a threat to academic integrity”.

The main problem, among many, with Prof. Cole is that he lies. He gets called out for it. He retro-edits his lies and denounces the denouncer.  He’s like a kid with a sore tooth who can’t keep his tongue away from it.

Some “for instances”:

This policy was implemented in 1991 under Secretary of Defense, Richard Cheney and Pres. George H. W. Bush.

I have learned from Martin Kramer to capture a screenshot of Prof. Cole’s writings if I want to reference them in the future because of his retro-editing and deleting penchants.

In Jan 2009, Cole posted this:

In response, Martin Kramer posted this: Actually, Atta’s will was dated April 11, 1996—one week before the Qana tragedy, on April 18. We don’t know for certain why he made it, but it cannot be because he witnessed any footage from Qana, which was still in the future. And Cole apparently never read the will. It contains no pledge to die while avenging anyone. The will deals with disposition of Atta’s body and possessions in the event of his death. It’s not a “martyrdom will,” but a standardized one, provided by Atta’s Hamburg mosque. (You can read the full text here.)
Update: In the wake of this post, Cole has partly retro-edited his own post (without indicating so).

Today IraqPundit blogged about Prof. Cole’s latest lying-fest.

Wonder how long it will be before he retro-edits?

I’ve got the screen caps, in case you need them, IraqPundit.

“The American people have entrusted us with their hopes and aspirations for themselves, for their families, and for their future. We will honor that trust.”

- Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), November 8, 2006

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), Chairman, Ways and Means Committee, Vice Chairman for the Joint Committee on Taxation, U.S. House of Representatives, under the direction of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

He puts the ASS in clASS:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denied a report on Tuesday that she had called on Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) to step aside.

“I see no reason why Mr. Rangel should step down,” Pelosi told reporters Tuesday. “I have supported his call for the ethics committee to look into it.”

The Ways and Means chairman has asked the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to look into his use of four rent-stabilized apartments in a Harlem high-rise, his use of congressional stationery to solicit money for an educational center in New York that bears his name and, most recently, his failure to pay taxes or report rental income on a vacation home in the Dominican Republic.  September 16, 2008

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told NBC’s Meredith Vieira in an interview taped Monday that Rep. Charles Rangel should not step down as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

Pelosi said she didn’t see “any reason” that Rangel should step down.

Tuesday, the House ethics committee said it’s now expanding its investigation of Rangel.

Pelosi said it’s up to the ethics committee to decide if Rangel should surrender his chairmanship.

“Until they make their decision, which I hope will be soon– I think that he should stay as chair of the committee,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi added, “Mr. Rangel, he loves our country. He loves this Congress. He wants to do nothing but bring credit to it. And he’ll be the first one to know what his course of action should be.”

The expanded ethics committee will investigate Rangel’s role in preserving a tax loophole that benefited a company whose executive had pledged $1 million to a center named after Rangel. December 10, 2008

House Resolution 143 to remove Rep. Rangel from his chairmanship. TABLED.

Huh! That’s what YOU are, what am I?

Pee-wee: I wouldn’t sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!
Francis: Then you’re crazy!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You’re a nerd!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You’re an idiot!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Pee-Wee, Francis: I know you are but what am I? I know you are but what am I? I know you are but what am I? Pee-wee: Infinity!

I was thinking about Pee Wee Herman when I read this today in the Washington Times.

President Obama was so concerned that he had appeared to dismiss a question from New York Times reporters about whether he was a socialist that he called the newspaper from the Oval Office to clarify his policies.“I did think it might be useful to point out that it wasn’t under ME that we started buying a bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on MY watch. And it wasn’t on MY watch that we passed a massive new entitlement -– the prescription drug plan — without a source of funding. And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word ’socialist’ around can’t say the same.”

 

 

 

 

After viewing this photo on Michelle Malkin’s site, I realized we’ve been misspelling Barry’s slogan.

You tell ‘em, Barry:

UPDATE: FILE THIS UNDER: TIMING IS EVERYTHING!

Former correspondent for CNN en Español, Mauricio Funes, is running for President of El Salvadore under the party of the bloody, vicious Sandinista; the Communist FMLN.

“The business community is not afraid of us,” Funes said in an interview. “And we are not afraid of business. I will work to strengthen the relationship with the United States, to make the U.S. more of a partner, and I think we will work well together.”

“I represent a new kind of leadership in El Salvador,” he said, sweat pouring moments after he finished a high-octane speech in front of 1,000 supporters in the plaza in Metapan on Saturday night. In his address, he vowed to put medicine on hospital shelves, help families left behind by immigrants working in the United States and reduce the price of fertilizer. Funes was introduced by a mayor in a cowboy hat, who was wearing a pistol shoved into his waistband and who worked up the crowd by proclaiming that Funes would end the rule of the “bloodsuckers.”  

 

The FMLN television spots complete the link by employing the Obama slogan in English and Spanish, vowing “Yes, we can!”

 

 

 

It wasn’t under MY watch that the Sandinista slaughtered many.

 

 

How’s It Hangin’, Buffett (not Jimmy)?

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett put almost all his eggs in one basket for the past 2 years.

How has your investment paid off, Warren?

Oh, I see.

The man considered by many to be the greatest investor of all time just had his worst year ever.

Mr. Buffett, in his annual letter, read closely by shareholders and nonshareholders alike, reported Berkshire in 2008 lost 9.6% in book value per share, a common metric Berkshire uses to track performance. That marks the biggest decline since Mr. Buffett took over in 1965, when it was a family-run East Coast textile maker.

Mr. Buffett conceded he “did some dumb things.”

What about the future, Warren?

Unemployment rate in U.S. will go well above its current levels before the downturn ends.

Inflation has the “potential” to be worse than the 1970s.

How did this happen, Warren?

“In my view, it’s an economic war, and–I don’t think anybody on December 7th would have said a `war is a terrible thing to waste, and therefore we’re going to try and ram through a whole bunch of things and–but we expect to–expect the other party to unite behind us on the–on the big problem.’ It’s just a mistake, I think, when you’ve got one overriding objective, to try and muddle it up with a bunch of other things.”

This sounds dire, Warren. What are you doing to overcome “the dumb things” you did in 2008?

Oh, I see.

Southern Border Fighting

In the first 3 months of 2009, 1000 people have been murdered just across the southern border of the U.S.A. in Mexico. In 2008, almost 6000 people were murdered. Drug and human smugglers are armed to the hilt with everything from RGPs to machetes. Their fire power is so great, that last November, Mexican police officers who were pinned down in a raging gun battle, issued an urgent plea for help to the Arizona State Police. Law enforcement and military personnel, as well as innocent men, women and children are being  kidnapped, tortured, beheaded, shot and slaughtered in this ongoing bloodbath.

This war has spilled over into the U.S.A.  Execution style murders, violent home invasions, and a spiraling kidnap rate in Phoenix – where police reported an average of one abduction a day last year linked to Mexican crime – are not the only examples along the border. Phoenix, AZ is now the kidnap capital of the world.

Arizona residents are fighting. Lawmakers in Arizona heard testimony on border violence last week from police and prosecutors, who are seeking more robust measures to seize smugglers’ assets, as well as cracking down harder on gunrunning to Mexico. “Sheriff Joe” Arpaio in Maricopa County has arrested 16,000 illegal aliens over the past 18 months. Of those, 70% are charged with felony crimes, including forgery, kidnapping, aggravated assault, DUI, narcotics, robbery, murder and theft. Not surprisingly, crime has been reduced in the valley.

President Barry Soetoro is taking action, also.

“We’re going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense,” Obama said during an interview with journalists for regional papers, including a McClatchy reporter.

“I don’t have a particular tipping point in mind,” he said. “I think it’s unacceptable if you’ve got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens.”

Obama was cautious, however. “We’ve got a very big border with Mexico,” he said. “I’m not interested in militarizing the border.”

Our expectation is to have a comprehensive policy in place in the next few months.”

Vice President Joe Biden has appointed Maricopa County supervisor Donald T. Stapley, Jr. to a task force to oversee implementation of the “Economic Recovery Act”. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and Sheriff Joe sent him a thank you letter:

Democrat congressional leaders have been even more aggressive in this fight. Ethically-challenged John Conyers, open-border advocates Jerrold Nadler and Zoe Lofgrens and social-justice engineer Robert Scott have teamed up with the militant arm of the democrat party, ACORN, have demanded that the U.S. Department of Justice launch a full-scale investigation into —-SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO.

In a letter dated March 10, 2009, Loretta Smith, acting assistant attorney general at the DOJ, detailed what her department would be investigating:

“This is to inform you that the United States Department of Justice is commencing an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (”MCSO”) pursuant to the pattern or practice provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994,42 U.S.C. §14141 (“Section 14141″) and the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968,42 U.S.C. § 3789d (“Safe Streets Act”), and pursuant to the prohibitions against national origin discrimination in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-7 (“Title Yr’) and the Safe Streets Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c).”

“The investigation will focus on alleged patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures conducted by the MCSO, and on allegations of national origin discrimination, including failure to provide meaningful access to MCSO services for limited English proficient (LEP) individuals.”

Economy-What McCain Said

September 15, 2008:  Dow 10,917, Unemployment 6.2%

Date	Debt Held by the Public	Intragovernmental Holdings	Total Public Debt Outstanding
09/15/2008	5,475,450,615,883.44	4,158,639,848,932.11	9,634,090,464,815.55

“The economic crisis is not the fault of the American people. Our workers are the most innovative, the hardest working, the best skilled, most productive, most competitive in the world, that’s the American worker,” McCain said at a town hall meeting here.

“My opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals, the American worker and their innovation, their entrepreneurship, the small business, those are the fundamentals of America and I think they’re strong.”  Sen. John McCain

“It’s not that I think John McCain doesn’t care what’s going on in the lives of most Americans. I just think doesn’t know. He doesn’t get what’s happening between the mountain in Sedona where he lives and the corridors of Washington where he works. Why else would he say that we’ve made great progress economically under George Bush?”

“Why else would he say, today, of all days – just a few hours ago – that the fundamentals of the economy are still strong? Senator – what economy are you talking about?”  Sen. Barry Soetoro

“Barack Obama’s short career as a public servant has been defined by pessimism, defeatism, and weakness in the face of the great challenges of our time. His lack of faith in American workers may explain his willingness to raise taxes during a struggling economy, but it is no way to lead our country.”  Sen. John McCain

McCain isn’t proposing any real solutions to fix the crisis. In fact, he won’t even help America’s workers—he refused to vote on the recent economic stimulus package in Congress.

In contrast, Sen. Barack Obama made sure he was on the Senate floor to vote in favor of an economic stimulus plan and will do so again if the current stimulus plan in the House makes it to the Senate.

When it comes to fundamentals, Sen. Obama understands our bottom line***.

“There are a lot of individual families who are experiencing incredible pain and hardship right now.”

“Consumer confidence is slightly up. The market is slightly up,” Biden said. “It’ll go down again, but the people are beginning to figure out that the president’s got a plan and he believes we can work our way through this.” VP Joe Biden 3/15/2009

WHAT’S THIS??!! BARRY IS ADMITTING THAT SEN. JOHN MCCAIN WAS RIGHT ALONG??

Oh, I SEE:

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao had said Friday he was concerned about the safety of the estimated $1 trillion his country has invested in U.S. government debt. China is Washington’s biggest foreign creditor, and Obama’s administration is counting on the Chinese to help pay for the $787 billion economic stimulus package by buying U.S. bonds.

“Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I’m a little bit worried,” Wen said. “I would like to call on the United States to honor its words, stay a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets.”

***The new executive order signed by Obama on Friday encourages government bureaucrats to adopt discriminatory, union-only project labor agreements for any “large-scale construction project” – defined as any project costing over $25 million – and thus discriminate against the 92.5 percent of private sector workers who have chosen for a wide variety of reasons not to join a union.

With the “stimulus” bill approaching one trillion dollars including many such projects, Big Labor stands to rake in literally hundreds of millions of dollars in new forced-dues revenue seized straight out of workers’ paychecks, whether they support the union or not. (Meanwhile, other “stimulus” funds will go to groups with strong ties to organized labor.)

President Obama’s new executive order comes a week after he issued two other executive orders giving the Secretary of Labor unchecked, unprecedented authority to blacklist non-union employees wanting to work on federal contracts.

Taken together, the new executive orders indicate President Obama is quite eager to repay the union bosses for spending well over one billion dollars (in mostly forced union dues) to elect Obama and other pro-forced unionism candidates.

Moreover, Big Labor’s high command is likely to funnel that money right back into its political machine in expectation of even more forced unionism power grabs – including efforts toward the ultimate goal of eliminating all 22 state Right to Work laws by federal fiat.

I LOVE Dick Cheney

I unequivocally and unapologetically LOVE Dick Cheney.  There are many reasons. Some are obvious; such as his unconditional love for his family and despite being a manly man, he’s putty in the hands of his grandchildren-one, or more, of which, he usually has with him at all times.

Probably the biggest reason I love the “public” Dick Cheney is how he deals with the media. No matter how much vitriolic hatred the media spit at him or how many scurrilous accusations or how many conspiracy theories they come up with, he is Teflon. Not only is he not bothered by them, he needles them. Remember when he had the horrifying experience of accidentally shooting another man on a hunting trip? He told the local media, instead of the Washington media, who predictably went ape-shit. I love how some political TV putz will refer to him as “menacing” or “Darth Vader” and the next time he’s  interviewed he kind of hunches over, looks the interviewer in the eye over the top of his eyeglasses and speaks in a lower-than-normal gravelly tone.

I didn’t watch the recent interview Dick Cheney did on CNN with intellectual giant John King because no one was holding a loaded gun to my head, so I read the transcript.

Most everyone else has already posted the “Obama has made us less safe” money quote, but I haven’t seen the complete answer posted at many places. Here it is:

KING: You made clear in an interview with the Politico when you left office that you were a little worried that President Obama might not be up to this challenge of fighting terrorism. I want to read you from that interview. You said you think there’s a high probability of such an attempt, meaning a major attack on the United States like 9/11. And you said, whether or not they can pull it off depends whether or not we keep in place policies that have allowed us to defeat all further attempts since 9/11 to launch mass casualty attacks against the United States.” Well, since taking office, President Obama has done these things to change the policies you helped put in place. He has announced he will close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. He has announced he will close CIA black sites around the world, where they interrogate terror suspects. Says he will make CIA interrogators abide by the Army Field Manual, defined waterboarding as torture and ban it, suspend trials for terrorists by military commission, and now eliminate the label of enemy combatants.

I’d like to just simply ask you, yes or no, by taking those steps, do you believe the president of the United States has made Americans less safe?

CHENEY: I do. I think those programs were absolutely essential to the success we enjoyed of being able to collect the intelligence that let us defeat all further attempts to launch attacks against the United States since 9/11. I think that’s a great success story. It was done legally. It was done in accordance with our constitutional practices and principles.

President Obama campaigned against it all across the country. And now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack.

KING: That’s a pretty serious thing to say about the president of the United States…  (You’re insulting the savior, now, Big Mister!)

CHENEY: Well…

KING: … (You better take it back, RIGHT NOW) and commander in chief of the military. So I want to give you a chance, because many people will say, Vice President Cheney just said Barack Obama, President Obama is making us less safe, more at risk, which you just said. I want to give you a chance — and take as much time as you want — to prove it. Because you put that list up there, and I know you say there have been three cases, I believe, of waterboarding in the past, and you say that specific things have been prevented. I know some of this is classified intelligence, but now that you’re out of government, to the degree that you can, tell the American people, because of those tactics, because of those, yes, sometimes extreme tactics, we stopped this.

CHENEY: Well, I would say that the key to what we did was to collect intelligence against the enemy. That’s what the terrorist surveillance program was all about, that’s what the enhanced interrogation program was all about.

KING: But another 9/11, because of a tactic like waterboarding or a black site, can you say with certainty you stopped another attempt to do something on that level?

CHENEY: John, I’ve seen a report that was written based upon the intelligence that we collected then that itemizes the specific attacks that were stopped by virtue of what we learned through those programs. It’s still classified. I can’t give you the details of it without violating classification, but I can say there were a great many of them. The one that has been public was the potential attack coming out of Heathrow, when they were going to have several American planes with terrorists on board, with liquid explosives, and they were going to blow those planes up over the United States.

Now, that was intercepted and stopped, partly because of those programs that we put in place.

Now, I think part of the difficulty here as I look at what the Obama administration is doing, we made a decision after 9/11 that I think was crucial. We said this is a war. It’s not a law enforcement problem. Up until 9/11, it was treated as a law enforcement problem. You go find the bad guy, put him on trial, put him in jail. The FBI would go to Oklahoma City and find the identification tag off the truck and go find the guy that rented the truck and put him in jail.

Once you go into a wartime situation and it’s a strategic threat, then you use all of your assets to go after the enemy. You go after the state sponsors of terror, places where they’ve got sanctuary. You use your intelligence resources, your military resources, your financial resources, everything you can in order to shut down that terrorist threat against you.

When you go back to the law enforcement mode, which I sense is what they’re doing, closing Guantanamo and so forth, that they are very much giving up that center of attention and focus that’s required, and that concept of military threat that is essential if you’re going to successfully defend the nation against further attacks.

KING: Much more of our conversation with the former Vice President Dick Cheney ahead. What’s life like after the vice presidency, and how’s his health? We’ll ask when our exclusive interview with Mr. Cheney continues in just a moment. Don’t go anywhere.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KING: Back now with our exclusive conversation with the former Vice President Dick Cheney. (I’m getting off this topic before I look like a bigger idiot …) You noted earlier you disagreed with the president’s strategy on Iran and North Korea.

Unasked for advice to Michael Steele-When you’re asked about Rush Limbaugh, don’t respond with some mealy-mouthed answer, hoping to gain some credibility with the America-haters. THIS is how to answer:

KING: What next for your party? There has been a big dust-up in recent days, in parts stoked by the White House, about Rush Limbaugh making some comments. David Frum, a conservative who worked in your administration, says that Rush Limbaugh is kryptonite, because he drives away the voters the Republicans need to build the road to discovery. Is Rush Limbaugh kryptonite?

CHENEY: No, Rush is a good friend. I love him. I think he does great work and has for years. He’s now offered to debate President Obama on his radio show. Hell, I’d pay to see that! It would be interesting to have developed.

I think Rush is a good man and serves a very important purpose.

Dick Cheney says what he means and means what he says. He walks the walk and he doesn’t apologize for it to anyone, especially fools who’ll never learn even half of what he’s already forgotten.

Terrorism-Just Say NO

At last we have an actual homeland security policy in place. Janet Napolitano is President Soetoro’s new Homeland Security Secretary. Der Amerikanisch lesben announced it in an interview with Germany’s Der Spiegel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word “terrorism.” Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?

Napolitano: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word “terrorism,” I referred to “man-caused” disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.

SPIEGEL: When you were Arizona’s governor, illegal immigration was an important issue for you. Your comment on the idea of a border fence was, “Show me a 50-foot fence, and I’ll show you a 51-foot ladder.” Europe hasn’t found an answer to illegal immigration. What can Americans and Europeans learn from each other?

Napolitano: That you have to be pragmatic. You have to avoid over-simplification from the far right and from the far left. Ultimately, you need to deal with the underlying immigration law and a reasonable immigration policy. At some point, when the time is appropriate, our president and congress will re-engage on the underlying immigration law. Right now, my task is to make smart enforcement decisions on the law that we have.

SPIEGEL: Europe has a problem with just such people, young Muslims who grew up in the West and are still susceptible to radical messages. The terrorists responsible for the July 2005 attacks in London are an example.

Napolitano: In some ways, the problem in Europe is greater than in the United States. But the questions are the same. How do you identify a youth who is susceptible to becoming radicalized? How do you work with that youth, his family and community to give them alternatives to radicalization?

SPIEGEL: Would you characterize such social measures as a task of your agency?

Napolitano: Yes. In fact, we have group within my agency, the civil liberties group, and they have a focus right now on that issue.

Cute Joke

From my special friend Ayn, who sends me a smile every morning in my email box and who brings a smile to everyone she meets.

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:

1. He called everyone brother

2. He liked Gospel

3. He didn’t get a fair trial

 

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:

1. He went into His Father’s business

2. He lived at home until he was 33

3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:

1. He talked with His hands

2. He had wine with His meals

3. He used olive oil

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:

1. He never cut His hair

2. He walked around barefoot all the time

3. He started a new religion

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian:

1. He was at peace with nature

2. He ate a lot of fish

3. He talked about the Great Spirit

 

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:

1. He never got married.

2. He was always telling stories.

3. He loved green pastures.

 

But the most compelling evidence of all – 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:

1. He fed a crowd at a moment’s notice when there was virtually no food

2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn’t get it

3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do

AMEN!!

New Head of GOP-Barry Soetoro!

I would like to invite all my fellow Conservatives in joining me to thank Pres. Barry Soetoro for doing more to bring the GOP together and get more voters on board in 2 months than anyone else in America.

From Rasmussen’s Generic Congressional Poll:

Date	Dem	GOP
03-15-09	39%	41%
03-08-09	42%	38%
03-01-09	41%	39%
02-22-09	41%	37%
02-15-09	41%	39%
02-08-09	40%	39%
02-01-09	42%	38%
01-25-09	42%	35%

NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL COMMUNITY ORGANIZING!

Big Bang

When I first read the Politico story referring to Barry Soetoro’s “Big Bang”, I automatically assumed it was a reference to what he is doing to people who work, people who pay taxes, people who pay their mortgages, people who serve in the military,  people who contribute to charities and people who have seen their retirement depleted.

I was right:

At the White House Tuesday morning, Obama began the day with a sharp push-back against the idea that his uncommonly ambitious agenda on health care, energy and other initiatives is too much, too soon.

Not so fast there, Barry-

Barack Obama’s Big Bang Theory of Governance is starting to face its first big test among the new president’s fellow Democrats.

Another timing is everything moment:

March 18 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama may try to push through Congress a health-care overhaul, energy proposals and tax increases by using a partisan tactic that would thwart Republican efforts to block the measures.

The administration and congressional Democrats are debating whether to use a parliamentary procedure called reconciliation to advance some of the biggest items on the president’s agenda. The move would allow Democrats to approve plans to raise taxes by $1 trillion, create a cap-and-trade system to rein in greenhouse-gas emissions, and overhaul health care without a single Republican vote.

Maybe not. These measures enjoy bipartisan opposition.

The World’s Most Dangerous City

Those of us who have followed the blogs from Iraq written by Iraqis and members of the U.S. Armed Forces were not surprised by Charlie Gibson’s recent report on Iraq.

What was STUNNING, however, was to see it reported from one of the alphabet networks. The evening news anchors have been a self-appointed panel of  judges and assassins of Pres. George W. Bush’s character, judgement and competence  for the past 7 years.

“Is this a war about oil?” “Where is U.N. approval?” “Is Iraq a quagmire?” “Does Pres. Bush get it?” “Is the surge a failure?” “Is hope for democracy dead in Iraq?”

Night after night, they beat the man down until his popularity hit rock bottom and truth was lost in a Hegelian blur.

The majority of Iraqis did not share the sentiments of the alphabet anchors.

Any hint of journalistic integrity evaporated when the alphabet anchors became the self-appointed press corps for presidential candidate Sen. Barry Soetoro (D-IL). He had won his first election in Chicago by having his opponets removed from the ballot on a “technicality”. Not only did his personal press corps not assassinate his character, they never even questioned it. He has a long-standing personal relationship with domestic terrorists. Not only did his personal press corps not assassinate his judgement, they never even questioned it. He condemned the Bush/Petraeus “surge” strategy in Iraq as a “complete failure” and called for surrender and defeat. Not only did his personal press corps not assassinate his competence, they never even questioned it.

While Iraqis celebrated their new freedom born out of the democracy fertilized with the blood of Americans, Iraqis and their allies, the alphabet anchors celebrated a new “visionary”. “Intelligent”, “Curious”, “Honest”-they proclaimed of this community organizer from Chicago; this mystery man with no medical records, no academic records and no birth records; this man calling himself Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.; this man who was known as Barry Soetoro on a school report card.

Barry Soetoro was sworn in 44th President of the United States of America on 20Jan09. He selected George Mitchell as Envoy to the Middle East.

But turning to Iraq, Mitchell first suggested that W’s decision on troop levels in Iraq will be driven not by the national security interests of the United States but by pure politics, stating: “I don’t think they [the Bush administration] can go into the next general election in the United States in November of 2006 with the status quo so I think you’re going to see significant troop withdrawals.” George Mitchell, Today Show

Suppose Barry Soetoro had been in office as the 43rd president. How might conditions be different in the Middle East today? How much strength and power would al-Qaeda, Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden have over the region?

Let’s go back in time to another century, another decade, when the same players and the same policies were in control. It really wasn’t that long ago.

In December 1992, U.S. President George H.W. Bush announced that the United States would provide the backbone of a multinational military force to secure supply lines and deliver food to the starving in Somalia. “America must act,” Bush said.

Pres. William Clinton was inaugurated on 20Jan93.

Pres. Clinton’s plan was for a “lasting solution” in Somalia. His administration would carry out this lasting solution by expanding the mandate of U.N. involvement. U.N. Resolution 814 was passed. With almost no planning, the U.N. Security Council broadened the peacekeepers’ mandate from securing relief operations to “the rehabilitation of the political institutions and economy of Somalia.” On 03Oct93, Maj. Gen. William F. Garrison decided that a good idea for a Special Ops mission would be to send a small force into a hornet’s nest of supporters of Warlord Gen. Mohamed Farah Aideed’s Somali National Alliance in the Bakara Market area of Mogadishu in BROAD DAYLIGHT to capture guerilla loyalists of Aideed.

The Clinton administration strongly supported this more aggressive stance. Madeleine Albright, then the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the goal was “nothing less than the restoration of an entire country.” Most of the U.S. Military personnel were withdrawn.

 

  

 

On 03Oct93, members of the U.S. military faced forces linked to Usama bin Laden’s al Qaeda terrorist organization  for the first time. They were outnumbered 10 to 1.

The U.S. was defeated. America lost 19 warriors and 2 Blackhawks. Something equally as precious as those lives was lost on that day, too.

“Where was this false courage of yours when the explosion in Beirut took place in 1983? And where was this courage of yours when two explosions made you leave Aden in less than twenty-four hours! But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia; where – after vigorous propaganda about the power of the United States and its post-cold war leadership of the new world order – you moved tens of thousands of an international force, including 28,000 American soldiers, into Somalia. However, when tens of your soldiers were killed in minor battles and one American pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you…. You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew. The extent of your impotence and weakness became very clear.”  Usama bin Laden

What has become of Mogadishu, Somalia and its people?

Mogadishu has been wracked with internal unrest ever since. The city received renewed international attention when the Islamic Courts Union claimed control over the city, only to be pushed back by Ethiopian forces. Today, while nominally governed by the UN-sanctioned Transitional Federal Government and policed by forces from the African Union, Mogadshu remains the scene of running gun battles between rival militias and tribal factions, as well as Islamic insurgents seeking to eject AU forces.  Over a million of the city’s residents have reportedly been displaced, with tens of thousands fleeing the “city of death” altogether.

Today, Mogadishu, Somalia is the most dangerous city in the world.

And every year since 1993, Somalis have celebrated “The Day of the Rangers” on October 3rd, the day America was defeated.

Multiple Orgasms

I was cooking dinner today and suddenly this sound started outside. It was so loud, I could hear it through brick walls. “Oh, oh, ooh, oh God…”

I ran outside to see which neighbors were having sex on my lawn. No one.

Then I noticed it was multiple voices, growing louder, coming from the North, maybe up I95.

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh, oh God! Oh, ooh, right there! Oooh, oooh, Oh God! YES! YES! YES!

Stumped, I went back inside and flipped on Fox News.

NOW, I understand…

“Lawmakers impose a 90 percent tax on executive bonuses”

Happy Norouz!

It’s that time of year again!

The U.S. Congress is considering a first-of-its kind resolution that congratulates Iranians and Iranian-Americans on the Norouz holiday.

Representative Mike Honda (Democrat-California), who represents voters in a northern California district, authored the resolution, which reads: “[To recognize] the cultural and historical significance of Norouz, expressing appreciation to Iranian Americans for their contributions to society, and wishing Iranian Americans and the people of Iran a prosperous new year.”

Good News Here from the National Iranian American Council (An Iranian American Voice in Washington, D.C.)!

Washington DC – Transcripts of National Iranian American Council and the New America Foundation’s conference on US-Iran relations on February 14, 2007 on Capitol Hill are now available online. The conference, titled “US-Iran relations: collision, stand-off, or convergence?” featured numerous high-power speakers, including Professor Francis Fukuyama, Congresswoman Jane Harman, Colonel Larry Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff, Flynt Leverett of the New America Foundation, Bruno Pellaud, former deputy chief of safe guards at the IAEA, Daniel Levy, former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and Trita Parsi, President of NIAC. The conference tackled several aspects of the ongoing US-Iran debate, including the imperative of reducing US-Iran tensions in order to aid Iran’s internal pro-democracy forces, the superiority of inspections versus suspension as a non-proliferation tool, and previously undisclosed details about the May 2003 Iranian negotiation offer to the US.

The conference, part of NIAC’s US-Iran Policy Program, was sponsored by the Colombe Foundation, Kenbe Foundation, Open Society Institute, Ploughshares Fund, and Pluralism Fund. Through the US-Iran Policy Program, NIAC will hold two such conferences on Capitol Hill per year, in addition to several Congressional Breakfasts and Staff briefings.

 

**Breaking-Bush Admin Emails-AIG

Fox Business and Fox News are reporting that they have obtained 5 emails through the FOIA between the Bush Administration and AIG concerning executive bonuses.

In a Nov. 5 e-mail to a Treasury and Federal Reserve officials, an outside attorney working on the transaction wrote, “We indicated that UST (United States Treasury) … wants to put in place a limitation on annual bonuses that assure that (AIG: 1.2104, -0.3796, -23.87%) executives/employees will not be enriched out of TARP funds.”

But the e-mail indicates AIG officials pushed back on the proposal. In a section of the e-mail discussing proposed limits on severance packages for AIG employees, the attorney wrote, “They were slack jawed at the idea of imposing the restriction throughout the entire population, especially worldwide.” AIG proposed that Treasury apply such limits “to a class of partners and senior partners (700).”

At another spot in the e-mail, the attorney said about AIG executives, “They will think about ways to deal with the ‘no enrichment’ point. In this connection they again raised the size of the applicable group and kept coming back to ‘700’ as a meaningful, and possibly workable, group for limitations.”

The e-mail also indicates that in their deliberations, government officials were concerned about the effect of compensation on recruiting and retaining AIG employees.

“We also indicated that all parties understand that the restrictions must be designed so that the business can be operated in a reasonable way, including in terms of recruitment and retention of employees,” the attorney wrote in the e-mail.

A key argument in AIG’s defense of its bonus practices has been that bonuses are needed to recruit and retain key employees.

A Treasury official in the department’s general counsel office, Stephen Albrecht, wrote in response to the attorney’s e-mail, “See below. Looks like AIG has some creative thinking to do, but we’ll need to decide to what extent we’re willing to bend.”

Government officials eventually decided to restrict compensation at AIG to just the top 75 company executives. The Treasury agreed to invest $40 billion into AIG.

He bought some Greek columns with some of his riches.

Along the way, he took up with some shady characters

I never could understand how feeling paranoid and hungry felt “good”. Those are some of the main reasons I wasn’t a pot (whoops, sorry, Jenny, “Mom, it’s called weed now”) smoker.

Another reason was the inability to control hysterical laughter at inappropriate times. An orphanage just burned to the ground and 150 children were burned alive. Whaaat? Whoo ha ha ha, snort, hee hee ha ha. That’s terribl…whahahahaha.

Finally, I’ve always thought that a big, stupid, uncontrollable Mr. Ed-sized smile makes one look like a blithering idiot.

Our Message to the World

For 8 years, if Pres. Bush sneezed there was a chorus of, “What kind of message are we sending to the world?” “This administration has damaged the image of the U.S. around the world!”

Candidate for president Barry Soetoro promised to “reboot America’s image” among the world’s Muslims and that one of his top priorities would be to work to repair America’s reputation worldwide. In that vain, he granted his first interviewas leader of the free world to al-Arabiya where he apologized profusely for the U.S. being responsible for Islamic serial mass murderers incinerating a few thousand Infidels on U.S. soil.

It was especially poignant when a sitting president of the United States of America met Saudi Arabia’s King and bowed in deference to his “majesty“.

After the U.S. elected its first black president, the first black U.S. Attorney General and former Fannie Mae lobbyist, Eric Holder, said publicly, “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we — I believe continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of cowards.”

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva heard you Mr. Holder.  Speaking in Brasília at a joint press conference with Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister, Mr Lula da Silva told reporters: “This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.” This, of course, was music to Race Separatist in Chief, Barry Obama, who couldn’t wait to drool all over him. During a lunch at the Group of 20 summit in London, Obama shook hands with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and said: “This is my man, right here. I love this guy.” I can hardly wait for Barry’s next book.

Then, there’s our neighbor to the south, Mexico, where a bloody drug war is happening and spilling across the border into the U.S., which wouldn’t have started in the first place if the drug lords didn’t receive 90% of their firearms from the U.S. It isn’t relevant that this figure is a bold-faced LIE made up of whole cloth from the Soetoro administration. What is relevant is that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is merely a “suggestion” and should be overturned.

The icing on the cake is probably yet to come, but Barry’s speech to a group of students from France and Germany comes close.  “In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. “Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”

Now, that’s a statement from someone who is a world’s authority on arrogance, dismissiveness and derision. 

So what is the message Pres. Barry Soetoro is sending to the world?

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A LOUSY COUNTRY, FULL OF LOUSY PEOPLE.

NOT A SINGLE DIME

 From On High had an excellent take on this story-kind of a Clintonesque what “is” is.

WASHINGTON (AP) – One of President Barack Obama’s campaign pledges on taxes went up in puffs of smoke Wednesday.

The largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect despite Obama’s promise not to raise taxes of any kind on families earning under $250,000 or individuals under $200,000.

“I can make a firm pledge,” he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”

He repeatedly vowed “you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.”

Now in office, Obama, who stopped smoking but has admitted he slips now and then, signed a law raising the tobacco tax nearly 62 cents on a pack of cigarettes, to $1.01. Other tobacco products saw similarly steep increases.

The extra money will be used to finance a major expansion of health insurance for children.

His detailed campaign plan stated that his proposed improvement in health insurance and health technology “is more than covered” by raising taxes on the wealthy alone. It was not based on raising the tobacco tax.

Not one dime more than this:

Another source of revenue comes from auctioning rights to carbon emissions, raising $646 billion over 10 years. This is a regressive tax, meaning that it falls hardest on those at the lower end of the income scale. Despite Obama’s promise that those earning under $250,000 won’t pay another dime in taxes, carbon-intensive companies are going to pass along the extra tax to consumers.

If Barry and the rest of the stagflation supporters want to tax something to raise cash for children’s health care, how about a big, fat increase on PORN and LABOR INDUCED PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION?!

No way! Not in this lifetime! Let’s not get crazy, here. Children don’t need taxpayer-funded health care that bad! This is still America, after all!

Polling For Dollars

 I guess it all depends on what the meaning of “is”,  is.

As President Barack Obama works to sell the American people on a sweeping agenda of domestic spending and policy changes, he’s relying on three men who have gone through neither Senate confirmation nor cable news spin cycles.

Data from pollsters Joel Benenson and Paul Harstad has become increasingly important to shaping the White House’s message as the crucial battle over the president’s budget intensifies.

Elements of Obama’s approach bear the hallmarks of message testing, like the introduction of the words “recovery” and “reinvestment” to rebrand the “stimulus” package, and aides said the polling has focused almost entirely on selling policy, not on measuring the president’s personal appeal.

A source familiar with the data said a central insight of more recent polling had been that Americans see no distinction between the budget and the popular spending measures that preceded it, and that the key to selling the budget has been to portray it as part of the “recovery” measures.

Uh oh! It looks like Americans are understanding the “distinction” between “I$” and “is“.

Maybe She Didn’t Pass The Drug Test

I’m sure everyone’s seen CNN’s Susan Roesgen having a little hissy fit at the Chicago Tea Party.

The crowd turned on her when she was rude and condescending to an attendee. ”I think you get the general tenor of this,” she said. “It’s anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox.”

Of course,  if the Chicago Tea Party attendees had been dressed in pink costumes, burning the American flag and hadn’t bathed in God knows when, Mz. Roesgen would have knocked them down en masse and licked their faces like a new puppy tasting its mother’s milk for the first time.

In the (snark, snark) Too-Good-Not-To-Be-True Category, it seems that Mz. Roesgen applied for employment TWICE in 2005 at the “right wing conservative network Fox”.

Constitutional “Suggestions”-Napolitano

Secretary of The Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, is interviewed on Larry King.

KING: Another — in that same report was this line here, on the threat of extremism at home. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
The Democratic chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has taken offense with that language. He says, well, wait a minute, are you singling people out just for their political views? Because we are having a conversation that is based on this gift of free speech. So if I’m an anarchist, if I oppose abortion — there are many things that I could believe or anyone out there could believe that you would find horrible. I’m allowed to think it, I’m allowed to say it, as long as I do anything wrong…

NAPOLITANO: Absolutely.

KING: Who are these groups? Do you have active investigations of anti-immigration groups or anti-abortion groups, you believe that they are preparing to conduct terrorist attacks?

NAPOLITANO: Well, without going into ongoing work, let’s just point out to history. And we’ll take the abortion, for example. Of course, people have different points of view about abortion. The last thing the Department of Homeland Security is about is infringing on anybody’s constitutionally protected rights. On the other hand, at the very edge of the debate, at the very edge are the extremist groups that have committed violent crimes. They’ve committed bombings and the like.
And that is where you cross from constitutionally protected free speech, freedom of assembly, all the rights we cherish, into homeland security and law enforcement. When is that right not being exercised, it’s being abused…

KING: The administration has said it would like to move ahead on comprehensive immigration reform. That it would include some legal status for the millions who are in the United States illegally.
We went down to your state recently to explore this issue. And a man you’re very familiar with, the Maricopa County sheriff, Joe Arpaio, we asked him, because of all the controversy about him rounding up illegal immigrants and some people aren’t illegal immigrants, we asked him if he had a message for you and for the president of the United States.

And this is what he said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO, MARICOPA COUNTRY, ARIZONA: I want the president, I want the politicians to say, we are going to enforce all of the illegal immigration laws and if you come into this country illegally, you’re going to be prosecuted and put in jail.
Let them say that. I’m waiting for them to say that.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: A lot of Democrats in Congress want to you investigate him. They think he is over the line. He says he is just enforcing the law and the problem is the federal government.

NAPOLITANO: Well, you know, Sheriff Joe, he is being very political in that statement, because he knows that there aren’t enough law enforcement officers, courtrooms or jail cells in the world to do what he is saying.
What we have to do is target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor, the human traffickers who are exploiting human misery.
And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil. But anyway, going after those as well.

NOTE TO JANET NAPOLITANO:

The Constitution of the United States of America is NOT a group of  “suggestions” lumped together into a document.

Slow Rolling

When Barry Soetoro released classified CIA interrogation documents for the world to see what a rotten country the USA is and to give aid and comfort to Islamic serial mass murderers, a veteran CIA officer told David Ignatius that it ”hit the agency like a car bomb in the driveway.”

Agency officers are “slow rolling”-what agency officers sometimes do on politically sensitive assignments. They go through the motions; they pass cables back and forth; they take other jobs out of the danger zone; they cover their backsides.

Now, field officers are more careful. They want guidance from headquarters. They need legal advice. In the case of an al-Qaeda suspect seized in Iraq several weeks ago, the CIA didn’t even try to interrogate him. The agency handed him over to the U.S. military.

I’m sure it was a shock to Barry Soetoro that Americans viewed this treasonous act as, well, treason.

I’m also sure it was annoying for Barry Soetoro to have to pack up his trusty sidekick and travel to Langley for a lame appeasement speech to the CIA when he has so many more important things to do; universal healthcare rationing, tonguing foreign murderous dictators, unilateral disarmament, slashing the Defense budget, nationalizing private businesses, overturning the Second Amendment, taxing children and their into the Poor House and redistributing payroll earnings. (Besides, it’s not like he published their names and photos, for Pete’s sake.)

But, give a speech, he did. He said everything his teleprompter told him to say and someone hit the old laugh track from “I Love Lucy” reruns at just the appropriate moments of wittiness.

And later that night, in the family quarters of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Barry Soetoro slept like a baby. In caves and villages and in U.S. cities and towns, Islamic serial mass murderers slept like babies. And in countries far away, in caves and lean-tos; in U.S. cities, towns and suburbs, CIA officers were awake and watchful and guarding their families, our families and the family sound asleep at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

100 Days of Megalomania

A comment to one of my recent posts about the popularity of Barry Soetoro reminded me of another “emperor” in history. As a matter of fact, the origin of the term “first 100 days” used by the media and pundits to grade a president’s first days in office came from that other emperor.

1815…a distant land. The people are fed up with their ruler. He has become very unpopular. Then, out of nowhere, appeared a new hope; a change, if you will. He was very popular. Like the Pied Piper of German folklore who charmed the rats into following him, this newcomer amassed a legion of supporters in a relatively short period of time. He came to believe in his own grandiosity. He became a megalomaniacal narcissist, believing that his “popularity” would conquer enemies and dissenters, alike.

But alas, this conquering hero was, in the end, conquered himself; not by great armies, but by his own egocentrism and naiveté. You see, he was too busy bathing in lavish praise and drinking in his “popularity” to notice that his followers were choosing a new path and his dissenters were growing expeditiously.

This imperialist lived out the remainder of his life in exile. He had become very unpopular.

Even though one of the emperors was a Little Big Man

And the other one is a Big Little Man

Deep inside, they’re both the same.

Comrade Joe Explains It All

Today’s commentary comes from Comrade Joe:

Why I’m A Liberal:

I’m a Liberal because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I’m a Liberal because I love the fact I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my horse.

I’m a Liberal because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

I’m a Liberal because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I’m a Liberal because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

I’m a Liberal because when we pull out of Iraq I trust the bad guys will stop what they’re doing because they now think we’re good people.

I’m a Liberal because I believe people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday, CAN tell us the polar ice caps will melt away in 10 years if I don’t start driving a Prius.

I’m a Liberal because I believe business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I’m a Liberal because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who could NEVER get their agendas past the voters.

I’m a Liberal because my head is so firmly planted up my own butt, it’s unlikely I’ll ever have another point of view.

Andrew Napolitano for SCOTUS

Too bad Judge Andrew Napolitano doesn’t pass Barry Soetoro’s litmus test for a U.S. Supreme Court nominee- the Constitution of the United States of America “is not a static but rather a living document.”
