Month: April 2009

Answer to an obvious question.

Well, the answer to this question is very obvious:

The current Real ID debate, which has been under discussion since 2005, clearly illustrates what a basket case the government of Maryland is (“Foes denounce driver’s license bill as ‘amnesty,’ ” Metro, March 29). It has been manipulated by the agents of foreign governments for the sole purpose of benefiting financially from the illegal acts of immigrants hiding within our borders. This amounts to a criminal enterprise, much like the Mafia. The sponsors of this inane bill should be kicked in the posterior for falling for a scam that any high school student would have seen coming.

The picture is painted more darkly by the two Democratic delegates. Delegate Kathleen M. Dumais of Montgomery County cannot figure out what “proof of legal presence” is. Is this person another Clintonite who is looking for the definition of “is”? Are all politicians morons? Do they exist to press their own personal agendas or to serve their constituents?

The answer to that question up there underlined is obvious; Yes.

They have for years, which is remarkable, seeing we the people pay their salaries.

Mitt Romney, Obama Lover

How Ironic:

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney doesn’t agree with President Obama on much. But, when he does, he’s quick to note it.

“He’s right on some things,” said Romney of Obama. “He’s right to have taken on the effort to stabilize our financial system.”

Romney, who spent much of the last year running for the chance to take on Obama in the general election, insisted in a recent interview with the Fix in Washington (as part of our “The Rising” series in which we profile politicians to watch over the next few years) that it was critical for his party to acknowledge where Obama has been right in order to offer a believable critique of where he has strayed.

“Simply saying ‘no’ to Barack Obama” is not enough, Romney said.

For Romney, a failed presidential candidate with an eye on a return engagement in 2012, this is the new reality: out of elected office but still a major force within a party scrambling to define (or redefine) itself without control of any of the traditional levers of power in Washington.

via The Fix – Mitt Romney’s Quiet Campaign.

The reason why Mitt Romney loves President Teleprompter so much, is because he is a RINO, A Republican in Name Only. Someone who’s flip flopped on more issues, than any other person that I’ve ever seen. Just ask Ann Coulter, she’s taking hell from the Religious Right on the issue of abortion, because She supported and lied for, Mitt Romney.

This douche nozzle also went around saying that he grew up in Detroit. The man left when he was like seven years old, and don’t even get me started on his Mormonism.


Neo-Conservative Double Standards

A very humorous observation:

The Weekly Standard sets a new standard for hypocrisy in this week’s Scrapbook column that attacks Eliot Spitzer for trying to rehab his image in the wake of his involvement with a prostitution ring:

“Not so long ago, when a politician was caught in bed with a whore, it meant not only the end of his political career, but extended exile from polite society. This was particularly true of politicians–Client No. 9, for example–who wore their virtue on their shirtsleeve.”

The Standard is certainly entitled to its opinion about Spitzer but it shouldn’t treat the former Governor differently than other politicians that have been Johns (Sinner David Vitter comes to mind).

By the Weekly Standard’s standards, Vitter should also be in “extended exile from polite society.” Spitzer left elected office but Vitter is running for another term in the Senate. If the Standard thinks Spitzer should be in extended exile, presumably it thinks Vitter should join him.

Perhaps Mr. Singer is not aware of the inverted logic of the Neo-Conservatives and possibly the entire Republican Party; “For Thee and not for Me.”

Which sums up the whole last 8 years.

The Southern Avenger on "Newt's Foreign Policy Fantasies"

Synopsis: When Kim Jong-il finally conducted a missile test, Newt Gingrich not only said that the U.S should have launched a pre-emptive strike against North Korea, but that President Obama’s refusal to do so reflected a “fantasy foreign policy.” But it is Gingrich, who has long been the most delusional on the subject.

My only comment is, what was Mark Sanford trying to say?

The Southern Avenger @ Taki’s Magazine

They sure do Kathy…..

Neo-Conservative shill and Bush cheerleader; not to mention Open Border advocate Kathryn Jean Lopez At NRO, reminds us that ideas have consequences; while displaying some lame photo-shop. You’d think she would have thought of this, when she promoted the war in Iraq and when she fired he Anti-Illegal Immigration employees at National Review.

It’s no wonder that William Buckley distanced himself from that publication before his death. His exact words were “They’ve become distant,” but we true Conservatives knew what he meant.

Tuesday Short Takes

I have to take my Mom to the Doctors Office today. So, for now my short takes on the Headlines today:

  1. Vermont Legalizes the Gay Blades right to marry, overturns veto. Poor ol’ Veto, it’ll take forever to get him right side up.
  2. Some dude from some show on T.V. is going to the White House to help Barry. Thank God, that man needs all the help he can get. Maybe he can help him actually look like he knows what he is doing.
  3. President Teleprompter makes an unannounced visit to Iraq. Hopefully, Barry will avoid calling Iraq a stupid war; at least in front of the troops anyhow.
  4. More torture memos come out. It doesn’t look pretty folks.
  5. The Congress and Obama White Honeymoon is over, due to defense cuts.
  6. More Gitmo Soap Opera, does it ever end?
  7. Al-Franken/Stevens Gate continues. Just seat the friggin guy and get it over with!
  8. The Turkey-in-Chief holds a townhall….in Turkey. Reportedly Barry said he felt right at home.
  9. No Risk Insurance at the F.D.I.C.
  10. David Brooks is still crying in his beer over Obama.
  11. Some idiot Rag-headed fool from Canada flew a small plane from Canada to Rush Limbaugh’s home state, and they say “Oh, he’s just a headcase… Nothing to see here… move along…”, and how do you sleep at night?
  12. The idiot G.O.P. Chief, in Virginia, who was outset for being a crook and quite the bone headed idiot is now going to try and run again. Stupid is, as stupid does.
  13. No more turbans for Women in Afghanistan. Such a shame, as most of them women are damned ugly. Well, at least now, you’ll be able to tell the Women from the men folk, and our military will know which one’s to shoot.
  14. The Ice is melting in the Arctic, someone get a mop.
  15. NY-20 is leaning towards Murphy. I hope Murphy’s wearing a hard hat. If that thing falls it might hurt!

There’s a ton more, but I’m running out of time, for the rest head on over to Memeornadum to check out the latest headlines. I’ll be back later today for some in depth Blogging.

Comments are on Moderate until I get back.

Update: I’m back! Comment Moderation is now off. 😀

Quote of the Day

As we celebrate the vicarious death and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us remember the importance of preserving liberty within these United States of America. And this commitment involves much more than attending church once a week or repeating an occasional catechism. It means we must seek to incorporate the principles of liberty and independence into the very fabric of our lives and work. It means we will offer eternal vigilance to the fundamental principles upon which America was built. Liberty has no guarantees or assurances. Each generation must work to preserve, protect, and defend the principles of constitutional government, or else liberty will be lost.

Made a fool of by Hitler, baited by his backbenchers, goaded by Lord Halifax, facing a vote of no confidence, on March 31, 1939, Chamberlain made the greatest blunder in British diplomatic history. He handed an unsolicited war guarantee to the Polish colonels who had just bitten off a chunk of Czechoslovakia.

Lunacy, raged Lloyd George, who was echoed by British leaders and almost every historian since.

With the British Empire behind it, Warsaw now refused even to discuss a return of Danzig, the Baltic town, 95 percent German, which even Chamberlain thought should be returned.

Hitler did not want a war with Poland. Had he wanted war, he would have demanded the return of the entire Polish  corridor taken from Germany in 1919. He wanted Danzig back and Poland as an ally in his anti-Comintern Pact. Nor did he want war with a Britain he admired and always saw as a natural ally.

Nor did he want war with France, or he would have demanded the return of Alsace.

But Hitler was out on a limb with Danzig and could not crawl back.

Repeatedly, Hitler tried to negotiate Danzig. Repeatedly, the Poles rebuffed him. Seeing the Allies courting Josef Stalin, Hitler decided to cut his own deal with the detested Bolsheviks and settle the Polish issue by force.

Though Britain had no plans to aid Poland, no intention of aiding Poland and would do nothing to aid Poland — Churchill would cede half that nation to Stalin and the other half to Stalin’s stooges — Britain declared war for Poland.

The most awful war in all of history followed, which would bankrupt Britain, bring down her empire and bring Stalin’s Red Army into Prague, Berlin and Vienna. But Hitler was dead and Germany in ashes.

Cost: 50 million lives. “But ’twas a famous victory.”
