Is it appropriate for BHO to campaign so soon after Hurricane Sandy?

Posted on by

Just thought I’d ask.  CNN asked a similar question at the Republican convention.  For some unexplained reason, resuming the convention as scheduled brought questions of propriety, meaning the DNC was putting it out there and CNN was predictably running with it.

But nobody is asking that of our young president, who is running all over the place campaigning while the east coast is in a shambles.  FEMA isn’t prepared, unions are turning non-union people away who have traveled hundreds of miles to help, and Staten Island is in dire straits.

Republicans had no official responsibilities regarding their hurricane, while BHO is the president.  Yet Republicans were put on the defensive just for being there.

But yet, nobody is asking if it’s appropriate now.  Politics is so confusing.

Characteristic that results in conservatism

No, it’s not racism, thick-headedness, stupidity, bigotry, or being a neanderthal.  It’s being able to recognize absurdity.  Seems like every day, I read something that is totally absurd and leaves me shaking my head in bewilderment.  Not because somebody did it.  In a country of 300 million people, or whatever the number is these days, there is going to be a little bit of everything.  The confusing part is that it’s given serious treatment by the media and liberals accept it without realizing the world is going mad.

The latest is this.

Somerville aldermen and Mayor Joe Curtatone agreed to refrain from using the word “illegals” when referring to people, at last week’s board meeting.

A team of youths came before the Board of Aldermen at last week’s board meeting urging city officials to give immigrants who live in the city the respect they deserve as human beings by not using terms like “illegals” to describe undocumented people.

Where does one start with this?  Maybe the mayor should ask who the illegals are so he won’t offend them, then round them up when he finds out.  That’s probably not possible, because the feds won’t allow it.  Okay, another absurdity.  Barring that idea, he should simply say they’re damn lucky they’re here and to STFU.  Or tell the kids (not clear if the kids are illegal or just half-baked liberals adopting a cause that makes them feel they’re contributing something) how stupid they are and in time they’ll come to realize it.  Maybe.

Or just say, “That’s absurd, what’s wrong with you?”  That would require the ability to recognize absurdity, which the mayor doesn’t possess.  Nix that idea.

Why you Democrats should vote for Romney

Posted on by

Because Romney will be a lot better president than Barack Hussein Obama.  True, but that one will fall on deaf ears because it’s important to have a Democrat party president when you’re a Democrat.  Doesn’t matter if he sucks at the job.  Which brings me to my point.

You Democrats should vote for Romney for the sake of your party, because Obama isn’t doing your party any good at all.  Neither did Clinton, for that matter.  Or Carter.  Come to think of it, no Democrat president has done your party much good going back to Truman.  Kennedy, maybe, but we’ll never know how that would have turned out.  Republicans can claim to be the party of Reagan.  What can you Democrats claim to be the party of?  Clinton?  Carter?  Johnson?

Look what happened in 2010.  Massive turnover in congress.  People saw how your Democrat party behaved with total power, and decided it wasn’t such a good idea after all.  Similar to 1994, eh?  Republicans will likely gain more seats in a week.  Reelect BHO, and what will 2014 look like, especially after more Mideast crises come along as they inevitably will.  How many times do you think Obama can sit in the Captain’s chair like William Shatner, watching crisis after crisis unfold, while intelligence comes in giving real-time reports on what is taking place.  Then for weeks afterward, telling the news how he wants to find out what happened when he was watching it as it happened.  His presidency will implode into a steaming morass of obvious ineptitude over the next four years, and he’ll take your party along with it.  Not a bad deal, really, except the country and our ambassadors deserve better.

Obama has singlehandedly proven the Peter Principle wrong.  He’s risen past his level of incompetence over and over again.  A crisis is something to be used, and the Democrat party never fails to use them.  But some crises need to be handled immediately, and that’s beyond Obama’s capability.  He just can’t do it.  It’s similar to voting present all the time, except this last time lives were at stake and he let people down.  Big Time.  Give him another four years, and your lamestream media allies won’t even be able to cover for him anymore, because he’ll drop the ball again and again.  And take your party with him.

President Obama Finally Faces Some Tough Questions From The Media

Posted on by

They weren’t in English, but so what.  Here are a sampling from Rush Limbaugh’s show.

SALINAS: (via translator) Why wasn’t your administration better prepared with more security at our embassies on September 11?

SALINAS: (via translator) Do you have information indicating that it was Iran, or al Qaeda, who was behind organizing the protests?

RAMOS: (via translator) At the beginning of your governing, you had control of both chambers of Congress, and yet you did not introduce immigration reform. And before I continue, I want for you to acknowledge that you did not keep your promise.

RAMOS: I don’t want it to get lost in translation: You promised that, and a promise is a promise — and with all due respect, you didn’t keep that promise.

There are many more at the link above.  And here’s the Lamestream Media coverage.

DIANE SAWYER: (music) The president, fending off heated questions tonight!

BRIANNA KEILAR: (b-roll noise) He got some tough questions.

WOLF BLITZER: …tough questions at a town hall held by Univision.

PIERS MORGAN: President Obama facing tough questions!

ANA NAVARRO: …some very tough questions.

SCOTT PELLEY: Today, he faced some really tough questions.

Is there any way to embarrass the liberal media?  It appears not.  Is there anything they say on television that indicates they know enough to ask such questions?  Not really.  Their depth of knowledge is limited to whatever the Democrat party instructs them to say, or it seems that way.  If you catch one at a roundtable and ask them about a topic that Rush Limbaugh and other hosts have been talking about for months, they’ll say they haven’t heard about it.  Yet they breathlessly report on what Limbaugh says all the time.  That would appear to be impossible except they find out what Rush says from Democrat party talking points, instead of actually tuning in.

But back to the Hispanic media.  They know what’s going on.  The students at the town hall knew what’s going on.  When one brought up Fast and Furious, she mentioned Brian Terry by name and also said at least a hundred Mexicans were killed by the guns the Obama Administration allowed to be smuggled across the border.  We should remember that, as well.  It wasn’t just Brian Terry.

It could make one wonder how come Hispanic students know so much about current events, while English only speaking students don’t.  It might be because the former watch Univision news.  It might also be because they aren’t allowed into Obama town hall meetings or not allowed to ask questions if they are.  The English media will make sure we don’t see them on TV.  They also don’t show Hispanics who understand that a lot of bullshit is coming out of the White House.  They’re unfairly portrayed as La Raza types instead.

The sad thing is that a lot of people think the lib media is interested informing us about what’s happening, instead of promoting the interests of the Democrat party.  They don’t even try to hide it anymore, you’d think people would finally wise up and quit watching entirely.

Being a President and Doing What Presidents Do (or did do until now)

Posted on by

Mr. President, how about addressing the nation from the Oval Office, and giving the American people a statement about these embassy burnings?  No politics.  No blaming Bush or telling us it happened because Romney is wealthy.  Just a serious non-politicized presidential address, with some papers in your hand to refer to.

We have Muslim flags flying over our embassies and you’re setting up a lousy filmmaker to take the fall.  Explain this to us, will you?  There are a few people curious, even though the media isn’t.  Quit responding to everything Romney said and try responding to attacks and assassinations happening to our embassies and ambassador.  Pretend a Republican did it.  Talk to us and do something about this.  Presidents used to take this kind of attack seriously and were expected to address us.  It wasn’t an unreasonable expectation. Tell us why your response to an act of war is to get a video pulled from YouTube.

Which brings us to a real irony.  Nobody has any expectations from you, and this is after campaigning on being supremely capable.  Now you’re campaigning by telling us we can expect even less from Romney.  Yeah, that’s a good way to get people to run out to the polls in November.

We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical….

I loved The Outer Limits when I was a kid.  I love it still.  Among the best episodes is a tale called O.B.I.T.  It stood for (Outer Band Individuated Teletracer) and was used to spy on people by tuning in on their individual frequencies and showing them on a screen.  The idea was to drive them crazy with paranoia because they’d obviously realize somebody was watching them all the time and they wouldn’t know how it was done.  They’re discovered to exist when a senator is investigating a murder at a top secret research center.  When he tries to find out where they came from, nobody knows.

Something similar is happening today, and it’s completely taken over the Democrat party and the Republican party too, but not to the same extent.  Clint Eastwood is completely immune to them, and there might be others in the resistance as well.  Our young president is totally reliant on them to the point that he blabbers gibberish when he isn’t relying on one.  They’re called teleprompters, a machine that projects words on a transparent screen so politicians don’t have to use notes during speeches.  President Obama has been known to use them in grammar school classrooms.  Vice President Biden often doesn’t use them, with disastrous results.  Both have become so reliant on them, neither can go without them without committing gaffes that are ignored by the lamestream media, but find their way into conservatives blogs, talk radio, and YouTube.

The Democrat party convention floor vote debacle was caused by one.  Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa had the vote outcome printed on it.  When he was faced with a contradiction between the teleprompter and what was actually taking place, he became befuddled, but eventually obeyed.  It seems the teleprompters decide the outcome of votes, while letting the audience participate is a charade.

So a machine originally designed to help give speeches now controls the national discourse.  Nearly everything we hear from the Democrat party are words on a screen, while the people we elect are merely readers.  So the obvious question is, who puts the words in the machine?

Nobody knows, except the person putting the words there and possibly a few others.  It might not even be human at all, it might be a machine in a cave or alien transmissions.  Perhaps SETI tuned into something and never announced it.  Might be leftover Soviets, or possibly Satan himself.  Or worse, maybe it’s Valerie Jarrett.  It’s guesswork, and secrets always spawn conspiracy theories.  One thing we can be sure of, it’s a very closely guarded secret and won’t be leaked.

I pray for this nation.

 

 

You’re Supposed to Support Your Party, Democrats

Posted on by

All you Democrats on the floor of the convention let your party down today.  The Democrat party had stepped in it big time by removing God and Jerusalem from its platform.  Democrats were being asked repeatedly why they’d done it, and all of them evaded the question, which means they realized they got caught moving too far left and it risked alienating the Christians and Jews who support the Democrat party for reasons unknown.

The story is your president wanted it back in the platform, which means he had nothing to do with it.  But that’s how it was being presented and you let him down.  It forced Villaraigosa to commit election fraud on TV.  Business as usual, except it’s not supposed to be public like that.  They needed two thirds, you were obligated to produce two thirds plus one vote.  Even better would have been unanimous support.

So you need to receive some finger wagging and a few tsk tsks.  Those people up on the stage aren’t there to serve your purposes, it’s not a democracy.  You’re there to serve their purposes.  They needed you to help extract their dicks from the wringer, instead you turned the crank.  If you saw people opposing it, you needed to get their heads straight.  A gentle whisper at first, and if that didn’t do the trick, go all union thug on them.  You don’t tolerate dissent anywhere else, why let it happen at your own convention?  It was unpatriotic.

Now I know, it might seem unfair that they opposed the will of the people.  But think about it a bit.  The rest of the time you have either supporters or enemies out to take away your contraceptives, stem cells, Medicare, and right to kill your unborn up until birth.  What is the one characteristic that makes an enemy?  He or she opposes the Democrat party.  That’s how you see things outside the convention hall.  Why let that change inside.  You let people oppose your leaders right there at your convention, you think it won’t spread across the country?  Those of you caught opposing it should receive hate tweets the rest of your lives.

Sandra Fluke Is Offended Again

Posted on by

Not surprising, she’s a liberal and they’re perpetually offended.  Most people will simply say they don’t like something, but liberals raise the level to being offended because they think other people should adjust their behavior so there won’t be anything left they don’t like.  So what doesn’t she like this time?

Bill O’Reilly said the following:

“I’m just wondering when Sandra Fluke speaks at the Democratic convention what they’re going to drop from the ceiling.  I’m just pointing out there’s only one reason this woman is speaking. One and one only.”

Actually, it’s pretty funny.  Good for Bill.  My instinct is to say, “Just go away, Sandra.”  But then it struck me that what’s happening right now is far better.  I won’t call her a slut, I can’t afford to lose my sponsors.  But she is a useful idiot, and right now she’s serving a purpose to the Democrat party and she’s basking in the attention.  What she doesn’t realize is that a year from now, she’ll be nowhere to be found.  She’ll be out there all right, but the media won’t need her on TV and the Democrat party will abandon her soon enough.  Her specialty is lobbying for free birth control, and the shelf life for that one won’t be too long because it’s a minor issue the Dems have artificially raised to a major issue at this particular time.

The only way she can keep it going is to find a way to raise a lot of funds for the Democrat party, which is how Debbie Wasserman Schultz got where she is.  People with marginal talent can go far if they bring in the bucks.

Can a Great Country Recover from Such Discouragement?

Posted on by

To be an American was to assume that all things
were possible.  When President Kennedy challenged Americans to
go to the moon, the challenge was not whether we would get
there, it was only when we’d get there.

The soles of Neil Armstrong’s on the moon made permanent
impressions on our souls.  And I watched those steps together on her parents
sofa. Like all American is, we went to bed at night knowing we
lived in the greatest country in the history of the world.

God bless Neil Armstrong.

Tonight, that American flag is still there on the Moon.
and I don’t doubt for a second that Neil Armstrong’s spirit is
still with us.  That unique blend of optimism, humility, and the
utter confidence that, when the world needs someone to do that,
you need an American.

That was a excerpt from the soaring rhetoric from Mitt Romney’s speech last night from the RNC.  The libs think the last line is code directed at birthers, but rational people understand it’s about American exceptionalism.  The libs might be forgiven for thinking their way, because the older ones might have hated America back then and the younger ones don’t remember a time when we were enthusiastic about something besides electing a young president who seduces them with lines about hoping and changing stuff like the sea level.

Back then America had plenty of bad things going on, like political assassinations and Vietnam.  But there was also enthusiasm about progress and the future and where we were going.  That might have been a carryover from World War II, I don’t know, but somewhere along the line it fizzled out.  We didn’t go to Mars and we don’t have flying cars and robots to serve us.  We had moved from the first man in space to walking on the Moon in less than ten years, but we didn’t go any farther than that.

I blame the left, of course, and I’m right about that.  The left can suck the joy out a country more effectively than anything I can think of, but it takes time and it’s because we let them.  Enemies from outside can bring a people together, but rot from within is harder to deal with because it permeates our very being until the leftism is just there all the time, like a heartbeat we don’t notice.

The culmination is Barack Obama who has no faith in us as a nation.  When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gives a speech, he shows pride in his country.  Try to imagine that coming from BHO, or any member of the Democrat party these days.  You can’t, not like people used to.  Once that sinks in, a person starts to understand just how discouraged we’ve become and it’s reflected in who we send to Washington.  An optimistic people don’t send such people anywhere except out of our sight.

Mitt Romney told us we can recover our lost enthusiasm.  I suspect he can help get us moving in the right direction and believe he sincerely wants to, but we have to put him in office first.  BHO offers us nothing.

“I just wish both sides would work together to solve our problems.”

Posted on by

We’ve all heard somebody lament how both sides don’t work together and they should.  It’s always said without specifics, but if we were to drill down and find out what’s really on their minds we’d find it’s always regarding something in the news, such as Republicans opposing tax increases.  In that instance, they’re really saying that Republicans should agree to soak the rich more and that would solve our problems.  But they simply say both sides should work together, which sounds reasonable on the surface.

Well, stop and think about both sides working together.  We have trillion dollar deficits.  That came from two possible sources, both sides working together, or the Democrat party ramming spending through because they control everything and have a filibuster-proof Senate.  The Republicans haven’t had a filibuster-proof senate in probably 100 years, when spending wasn’t that high.  Can’t blame it on them except when they work together with Democrats.  This is indisputable.  Besides spending, look at all the bills that are voted on, passed, and signed each year.  There are hundreds, regardless of who’s running things.

So with the present crop of politicians working together so well already, why would anybody want more of it and expect a different outcome?
