Memo to Michelle Singletary: FUCK YOU, YOU STUPID ASSHOLE!

Yeah, I said that in the headline of this entry. Damned proud of it too.

This idiotic bitch is un-fucking-believable.

She writes in here sniveling little opinion piece at The Washington Post:

In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama declared that he was going to “speak frankly and directly.”

That’s what I want to do as well. I want to speak frankly and directly to the many people who have written to me complaining that they aren’t directly benefiting from the federal government’s efforts to resuscitate our gasping economy.

The sniveling sentiments of these people come down to one question: “What about me?”

“How come only those who spend irresponsibly get bailed out?” a reader asked. “As a person who thinks before he spends, I have a lot to be frustrated about these days.”

Another reader from Indiana wrote: “Frankly, I’m infuriated. I don’t make a ton of money, but I live within my means. I purchased my home eight years ago and just paid my mortgage off this past November. It’s extremely frustrating to see us bailing out people who made foolish decisions while many others meet the obligations they agreed to.”

I’m a big proponent of personal responsibility. I preach it in this column, in my home, in the community, at my church and to anyone else who will stand still long enough.

We know that a lot — although not all — of the people in trouble in this economy made bad choices that ended up costing them their homes. A lot of people didn’t save when times were good. A lot of people didn’t do a lot of things they should have done that would have allowed them to better withstand this wretched downturn.

“We have lived through an era where, too often, short-term gains were prized over long-term prosperity,” Obama said.

I understand that people who did the right thing are frustrated. They saved. They scrimped. They crunched the numbers and bought homes they could afford long term.

I understand their need to have someone pat them on the back.

So consider this your pat.

Translation? If you were responsible, tough shit; Nobody cares!

She continues on:

If you’re susceptible to WAM Syndrome, the cure is to be thankful for what you have and to have compassion for those who are hurting. Think of all the personal agony or broken marriages or stress that accompanies the threat of foreclosure.

Obama called on us all to make the concerns of others our cause.

“If you haven’t been personally affected by this recession, you probably know someone who has — a friend, a neighbor, a member of your family,” Obama said during his speech.

Okay, so you’re not getting bailed out. But the reward for doing right when others didn’t is that you’re living better than they are. So stop whining.

Translation? The President is black and if you don’t like what he is doing, which is giving bailouts to those fucking idiot morons who bought houses that they could not afford; you are most likely a racist.

Two Words, you stupid asshole black BITCH piece of shit…..:

FUCK YOU!

…and fuck your Black asshole President too! He’s not my President, until he releases his ORIGINAL Birth Certificate and not some damned forgery copy. Obama is NOT my President at all. Period. 😡

Whining…. Whining she calls it. It’s called defending the responsible, you idiot assed piece of liberal Black SHIT! 😡

On Heals of AIG News Markets off to Shaky Start

The News this morning that AIG is going to get even more bail out monies from the Government. To put it mildly, the markets are not reacting too well at all.

Asian Markets Slide

The ripple effect of Government Socialism spreads:

Asian stock markets slumped Monday amid resurgent concerns that a recovery in the global economy is unlikely to materialize until next year and worries about the global financial sector following fresh government bailouts for the insurance giant American International Group and Citigroup.

The Nikkei 225, Japan’s benchmark index, was down 4 percent and the Kospi in South Korea fell 3.6 percent, while the key index in Hong Kong sagged 3.8 percent. Singapore’s stock market fell 3.3 percent, and the markets in Australia and Taiwan dropped 2.8 percent. Stocks in mainland China declined least, falling 0.2 percent by Monday afternoon.

Stock in banks like Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho Financial Group were more than 4 percent lower in Tokyo because of fears about the health of the global banking system, after the United States government moved to take a larger stake in the ailing banking giant Citigroup and was set to give an additional $30 billion in taxpayer money to AIG.

And in Hong Kong, trading in HSBC was suspended in the wake of reports that the British bank will announce on Monday that it is tapping investors for about £12 billion, or about $17 billion.

“It’s pretty despondent everywhere,” said Dwyfor Evans, a strategist at State Street Global Markets in Hong Kong. “Okay, there are signs that some of the leading indicators have stabilized to some extent, but it’s at a very, very low level, and we’re not seeing corporate investment picking up, or consumers starting to spend again – in other words, the traditional mechanisms by which economies come out of a recession are absent at this time.”

While Barack Obama might be the President that saved the working class family in America, he might very well go down as the President who destroyed the free market capitalist system in America and around the World. Although, I will admit, that he did have help. Bill Clinton’s polices, along with the inaction of the Republican Congress of 2003, did nothing to stop this mess.

The bad part about is, I and everyone else will be most likely dead before it is all straightened out.

Welcome to the 21 century. 🙄

Afghanistan is not going to be an easy war

This does not look good at all:

Tactically, the U.S.-led night raid in the village of Bagh-i-Soltan was a success. U.S. military officials said the dead man and an accomplice now in custody were bombmakers linked to recent insurgent attacks. They said that they had tracked the men for days and that one was holding an assault rifle when they shot him.

Strategically, however, the incident was a disaster. Its most incriminating version — colored by villagers’ grief and anger, possibly twisted by Taliban propaganda and magnified by the growing influence of independent Afghan TV — spread far faster than U.S. authorities could even attempt to counter.

Worse, it happened in an area where the Obama administration has just launched an expensive military push, focusing on regions near Kabul, the capital, where Islamist insurgents are trying to gain influence. Several U.S. bases have been set up in Logar and adjacent Wardak province, and 3,000 troops have arrived since January. Their mandate is to strengthen security, facilitate aid projects and good government, and swing local opinion against the insurgents.

Folks, I am not and nor have I ever been under any illusion that the Afghanistan War was going to be any kind of a cake walk.  I realize that Pat Buchanan and many other Paleo-Conservatives and Libertarians (like Lew Rockwell) feel that this war is not winnable. The problem with that mentality is this here. It is founded in the notion that; like Iraq, it was unjustified. Well, let me be plain about it here. That line of thinking is just plain bullshit. Unlike Iraq, Afghanistan is very justified, that was the country of origin that the September 11’th attackers came from, most of them anyway. This is where Osama Bin Laden is holed up, in that tribal region.

What cheeses me the heck off, is the fact that these Anti-American, far lefty nut cases and some Paleo-Conservatives, like Pat Buchanan and Lew Rockwell want to see America just say “Oh well, we can’t get Osama!” and just pack up and leave. I am sorry to be the one to say this, but if we do this in Afghanistan, basically the Al-Qaeda terrorists that attacked on September 11’th and the bastards hold up in that tribal region will have won the damned battle. As much as I hate like hell to sound like former President George W. Bush, who when he said this about Iraq, may have been wrong; but when it comes to Afghanistan was and still is absoutely right, if we cut and run from Afghanistan, we will be worse off, than if we stay and fight till we either capture or kill Osama and root out Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan or at least topple the leadership there.

I just hope like hell that the Liberal media and Blogging World does not hand this victory to Osama Bin Ladin on a silver platter and in doing so put our Nation at greater risk than it is already.

Conservative Icon Broadcaster Paul Harvey Dead at Age 90

Video News Report: (H/T to Breit Bart)

Sad News in the World of Radio:

ABC Radio Network spokesman Louis Adams said Harvey died Saturday at his winter home in Phoenix, Ariz., surrounded by family. No cause of death was immediately available.

Harvey, who was born and raised in Tulsa, Okla., was married to the late Lynne Cooper of St. Louis who died less than a year ago. They had one son, Paul Jr.

He was a news commentator and talk-show pioneer whose staccato style made him one of

the country’s most familiar voices. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush in 2005.

Known for his resonant voice and trademark delivery of “The Rest of the Story,” Harvey had been heard nationally since 1951, when he began his “News and Comment” for ABC Radio Networks.

In a statement, ABC Radio Networks President Jim Robinson calls Harvey “one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our nation’s history.”

He began his radio career in 1933 in Tulsa, while he was still in high school, his Web site said.

Paul Harvey News consisted of more than 1,200 radio stations and 400 Armed Forces Network stations that broadcast around the world and 300 newspapers, his biography reported.

A virus that weakened his vocal cord forced him off the air in 2001. But he returned to work in Chicago and was still active as he passed his 90th birthday.

My Grandfather, on my Mom’s side used to listen to Paul Harvey, when she was a little girl. What a loss, a legend in broadcasting is now gone. Harvey was a Conservative, it showed in his broadcasts. Here are two clips of Harvey in his prime from 1963, right before Kennedy was assassinated:
