Fire the final protective fire!

In the Marines, a final protective fire (FPF) is a use of all available weapons systems to stop an enemy’s advance. It is comprised of an all out use of direct fire weapons fired at the maximum rate of fire, set to create interlocking bands of fire and designed to kill anything that has the misfortune of wondering into their path. During the FPF, defilade areas are covered by mortar, cannon and other indirect fire weapon systems, again fired at the max rate of fire. The FPF is fired when the max number of enemy targets are available to destroy as much of the enemy force as possible in a short violent exchange.

Were I advising the McCain campaign, I’d make the following suggestions:

Fire the FPF in advance of the final debate. Fire the Ayers bomb. Fire the infanticide bomb. Fire the 2nd Amendment bomb. Fire the ACORN bomb. Fire the Freddie, Fannie, Raines and Johnson bombs. And yes, double down on the Rev. Wright bomb.

Get it all out there ahead of the final debate and then fire it all again. Ignore the questions and attack B-HO’s character and empty record. When the question comes up for the one thousandth time about the bailout, here’s answer:

Well that’s an excellent question that has been asked and answered a thousand times. B-HO, that one, was in bed with Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson who looted Freddie and Fannie for over a hundred million dollars. He was in bed with ACORN who along with their sleazy Dem buds in the congress perpetrated this mortgage fraud on the American people. Now ACRON is under investigation in ten swing states for voter fraud - fraud that this one, B-HO, taught them. Not happy with just ruining the American economy, now ACORN and the Dems are actively trying to steal an election.

He has long history of hanging out with creepiest people among us. From domestic terrorist Billy Ayers who bombed the capitol and the pentagon – long before Mohammed Atta and his buds ever came up with that idea – to Chicago street thug and convicted felon Tony Rezko who managed a sweetheart land deal that this buffoon and his family took advantage of. I may not know how many houses Cindy owns, but I do know none were bought with the aide of a convicted felon. And I’ve never belonged to a church where the pastor God-damned America and incited racial and religious bigotry – like that one did for 20 YEARS.

And speaking of the creepy people that one hangs with, how about the “leader” of his own party – Harry the surge is a failure the war is lost Reid? John the Haditha Marines are all murders Murtha? John we’re storming into Iraqi homes terrorizing women and children Kerry? RC our troops are like Nazis, Pol Pot and the Soviets who ran the gulag Durbin? What a despicable pile human trash.

Abortion is a touchy issue. Partial birth abortion isn’t. This guy supports that grotesque practice. In fact this idiot takes it a step further in denying a baby BORN ALIVE after a botched abortion medical treatment. Think about that. This one thinks it’s OK to take a LIVE BABY and throw him into a broom closet for a day or two allowing it to die from neglect. The child’s crime? Surviving an abortion attempt. My friends withholding medical treatment to child under those circumstances is, by any standard, murder - plain and simple murder. That one favors it. I do not.


Let me tell you what this election boils down to:

That one will lose a war. I will win it.
That one will murder the most innocent among us. I will protect them.
That one will take your money and guns. I will fight to see that you keep what is yours.

Now I’m leaving. I’ve said everything I have to say. Good night. See you on the trail. I’ve got better things to do.

Post-racial my butt

Lemmesee, B-HO is supposed to be the post-racial candidate – the one to bring us all together, right? Well why is racism more rampant now than ever? It’s come down to the point where you cannot say one word about B-HO or hell any Dem without being called a racist. That’s post racial?

And if you think it’s bad now, see what happens if B-HO gets elected. Good bye talk radio, Fox News, Washington Post, Weekly Standard et al. We just can’t have that racist stuff around questioning all of the good works of a B-HO administration.

B-HO is a dope – a high functioning smooth talking moron unfit to run the local diner let alone the country.

To prove I’m not a racist, here’s my unqualified black guy for president. Take 10 and check it out. This guy’s been around a while. He gets the point across and has fun doing it. I’d vote for him.

We're screwed in '08

What was that? A town hall meeting where you get the exact same questions…and answers…as when the lamestream media ask is boring. Where was the ponytail guy from the Clinton Bush debate – “How are you going to provide for my family?” Where was the boxers or briefs question? Where was the, “if you were a tree what kind would be?” Where was the, “have you ever hung out with a domestic terrorist?” Did you ever belong to a church where the pastor G-damned America? How about a good ol’ straight forward, what the hell exactly is a community organizer?”

This thing was so scripted and bad, I was continually watching the clock hoping for it to end.

McCain hit all of his points but was herky jerky in doing so. I understand why the brain dead among us would say B-HO won. McCain got in all of the inexperienced, tax and spend, big government liberal stuff that he could.

But what in the heck was that $300 billion to buy down mortgages? Is there a free market guy around anymore? What happened to personal responsibility? How can you call someone a tax and spend liberal when you just threw $300 billion new taxpayer dollars on the table? Then, how can you go on and say healthcare is a “responsibility” not a right? And what, paying your mortgage isn’t?

I knew I shouldn’t have watched. I won’t make that mistake again.

The debate might be worth watching

Hell yeah I’m watching tonight. McCain finally seems to think this thing is worth fighting for. Since the weekend, he’s unloaded on B-HO for Ayers and now Freddie and Fannie. I have to think the wrong Rev Wright is going to come up before it’s all over.

He’s got the lines down - who is the real B-HO? Tonight McCain should follow up with - and what has done? The answers to these questions are - a smooth talking know nothing, do nothing, be nothing dope who hangs out with unrepentant domestic terrorists and unholy hate mongering preachers. It works for me anyway.

So when B-HO brings up the old song and dance that this all just a distraction from the main issue - the economy - McCain should segue into: “You want to talk about the economy? Let’s talk about the economy and a couple more of your shady associations - your buddies Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson. These buds of your looted Freddie and Fannie and caused a significant portion of the problem we are now facing.”

When B-HO tries to turn table and brings up Keating, McCain should point out that he and B-HO supporter John Glenn were cleared of any wrong doing. Is B-HO questioning John Glenn’s integrity?

A few words on – POLLS. Don’t believe them – at least until the last week. The people who run them are all Libs. This happens every election and we fall for it every election. John Kerry is now up in Ohio 87% to 4%. It looks like Bush willing be pulling his resources out any day now. It’s all BS. Besides, why worry? All you can do about it is vote, send in a few bucks and write a letter to the editor.

There is also a thing called the Wilder affect – named after Doug Wilder who ran for Gov of VA. Wilder, a Lib black guy, was way ahead in the polls and lost. How could that happen? Well it seems Libs were happy to tell the pollster that were going to vote for the black guy but in the privacy of the voting booth, Lib white Dems couldn’t pull the lever for a mino candidate. We’ll see if that is still true.

How many race cards are there in a deck?

At the risk of being labeled a racist by the AP, B-HO is a dope for many reasons. High on the list among them is the people he has CHOSEN to associate with.

B-HO and family sat in a “church” for 20 YEARS listening to a hate mongering pastor - Jeremiah Wright. Wright used his pulpit, it seems, more to stir racial animosity and hatred for America than to seek salvation for his flock. B-HO first defended Wright by saying - more or less - that he was family. Then for political gain, B-HO threw a member of his "family" under the bus. Wright had finally gone too far. He said the exact same things he'd been saying for 20 years in his church in front of the National Press Club where we could all hear him. He had to go.

Convicted Chicago thug and felon Tony Rezko got B-HO his house at below market rate. So the next time someone in the MSM asks the McCain campaign how many houses he has, the answer ought to be, “Gee I don’t know. But I do know that none of them were purchased with the help from a convicted felon.”

Freddie and Fannie looters Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson are prominent B-HO economic advisors. So if you like the way the Freddie Fannie mess went down, I suppose you’ll love B-HO’s economic plan as well.

Even B-HO’s - America is a down right mean country that I’ve only recently been proud of affirmative action queen - wife is a problem. She pretty much has been hidden away. After the election though, they won’t be able to shut this mean-spirited angry woman up.

So when SarahCuda brings up B-HO’s association with unrepentant domestic bomber Billy Ayers, why is that “racist”? Ayers is one of B-HO’s white whacked-out buddies. Seems to me, Ayers is the LEAST racial of the associations mentioned.

The ASSociated Press knows that there is not one thing racial about Palin pointing out B-HO’s associations with the creepiest people among us. They want to shut McCain Palin up by labeling any criticism of B-HO as racist.

The B-HO campaign laughs the Ayers association off by saying B-HO was but a babe when Ayers was blowing things up. Well here’s the follow up question that never gets asked, “OK you were only 8 when Ayers was blowing up the Pentagon. How old were you in 2001 when the above photo of Ayers standing on an American flag was taken?”

Also, they tell us B-HO has condemned Ayers’ “actions.” But they don’t tell us B-HO condemns the man. They do not tell us that B-HO has demanded that Ayres take responsibility for his action and, to the extent possible, make restitution for what he did. And they do not explain why B-HO would associate with a guy whose actions he condemns.

So were McCain to say, “Sure Alger Hiss is one of my big heroes. But I was only eight years old when Hiss was betraying his country by working for the Soviets at Yalta. Besides, other than betraying his country, Hiss was a swell guy.” Oh yeah, I’m sure McCain would get a pass from the MSM for that.

Surprisingly the McCain campaign issued a tough – for them anyway – statement defending Palin’s remarks:

“The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if they’ve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house — because those aren’t smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

Biden "beaten like a wack-a-mole by a methed up cage fighter in biker bar"

Yeah I watched the whole thing except for Slow Joe’s closing statement.

If it were a fight they’d have stopped it after, “Say it ain’t so Joe. There you go again, talking about the past.”

One has to wonder how bad it could have been had Biden not stood there and lied through his teeth so many times. There is a long list here but just a couple of the more memorable lies:

1. I didn’t say “no coal” that was taken out of context. Big problem Joe, that damned YouTube video. We all saw you saying, “NO COAL PLANTS IN AMERICA.”

2. B-HO never said he’d sit and talk with Ahmadinejad. Yes he did. Big problem Joe, that damned debate tape is available as well. THE FACTS: Obama was asked in a July 2007 debate whether he would be willing to meet ''without precondition'' with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Cuba and other countries the U.S. regards as rogue nations. Obama replied, ''I would.'' Uh Oh! A two word declarative sentence is very difficult to parse. You can almost hear B-HO’s staff now, “It would depend on what would the meaning of the word ‘would’ would have been would it have been put into the proper context.”

Best line of the night, however, goes to Tom Brokaw. I was cruising the channels to get the after debate spin – which was predictable MSM BS - and happened in just as NBC was wrapping up their coverage. In an unguarded moment I suppose, Brokaw laid a bomb on the Biden camp, MSM spinsters and disappointed Dems, (paraphrasing) “Well, Democrats can end their night thankful that there is only one VP debate.”

Ifill remains a disgrace. The fact that she didn't come out wearing a B-HO button doesn't mean she belonged on that stage. She didn't. She is a dishonest weasel.

Bailout
I’ve been trying to e-mail my congressman for two days. No luck getting through. Apparently the servers are jammed. That or the bastards just pulled the plug so they don’t have to listen to those pesky voters.

Keep trying. Kill the bill.

For the sake of journalistic ethics (gag), Ifill should step aside

The VP debate is tonight. I probably won’t watch. Why should I? I can tune in afterward and have the MSM tell me who won, what I should think about it and what it means. The answers to those questions I already know.

In order:

The MSM will declare Biden the winner.

They will tell me I should think that McCain is an idiot for picking Palin.

And it means it’s over for the entire Republican party.

Besides I have 7 yards of dirt being dumped in my driveway this morning. I may busy or too tired tonight.

Ain’t it funny that nobody knew that this Ifill gal had a pro B-HO book in the works and due to be published on inauguration day? You’d think that that bit of information might have been important enough for Ifill to share with whoever was doing the interviewing for the VP moderator gig. You know something like, “Oh great I got the job! By the way, did I mention that I penned a Lewinski job book on the B-HO family? But I’m sure I can be fair. You know like the OJ Simpson jurors during his murder trial. They swore they could be fair and uphold the law. That turned out well, didn’t it?”

Remember this the next time someone uses the term “journalistic ethics.” I suppose it’s too late to can this dishonest B-HO shill in favor of someone a bit less partisan. But think about that. Why couldn’t you call on someone ten minutes before the debate and say, “Ifill choked on a chicken bone. You’re the moderator.” How hard can it be to ask questions?

Senator Biden do you still think it's "patriotic" to pay more taxes?

Senator Biden do you still think the partition of Iraq is a good idea?

Senator Biden do you still think it’s a good idea to give Iran $250 million unattached American dollars?

Senator Biden do you still think that B-HO is not qualified to be president of the United States?

Senator Biden do you still think the first Iraq war a mistake?

Senator Biden do think your leader in the senate was treasonous bastard when he declared the surge a failure and the war lost even before the surge began?

Senator Biden do think Jack Murtha is an unpatriotic bastard for declaring Marines in Haditha guilty of murder before a trail?

Of course with Slow Joe you’d only need one question for the windbag to go for an hour and a half.

Pence leads Man of the Year voting

The senate is taking up the bailout bill today. I’ve sent my senators a to the point e-mail – No bailout! It’s a useless exercise. Of all politicians, the six year tenured gasbag type is the least susceptible to the will of the people or common sense. That fact, coupled with the near 800 point market drop after the house tubed the last bailout effort, has probably caused any manhood the girly boys in the senate might have had to shrink up past non-existent.

On the good news side, the bill has been greatly improved. And for that we have the men in the house to thank. First in line for kudos is John Boehner, who shut down the Reid, Pelosi railroad job that was a $700 billion dollar bag of crap.

Then Mike Pence et al who pulled the rug out from under the leadership of both parties and the administration by voting the “negotiated package” down and out on Monday. Pence was also at the fore leading Republicans during the summer recess “drill here, drill now” energy debate. That debate has caused Pelosi and Dems to cave on energy policy and drilling as well. If Lex were to name his man of the year today, it’d be Pence.

If only we could vote this thing down a couple of more times we might get a bill acceptable enough to stomach. But alas, this may be about as good as we can hope for. Maybe a tweak here and there in the house – but it is what is. And as bad as it is, it may be time to swallow the horse pill and move on. I’d continue to argue to let capitalism rule except for fear that another huge market correction or crash might cause an even more odious government intervention.

We may have played this hand as far it will take us.

Very weird

This is the biggest crisis in the history of the world – nay universe. If we do not act immediately, life as we know it will end.

So what should we do?

First, we adjourn until Thursday.

Weird huh.

Democrats control both houses of congress but blame Republicans for the failure of the bailout bill.

Weird huh.

Dems use Freddie and Fannie as personal ATMs for themselves and fiddle while the two mortgage companies burn to the ground but claim to be the best ones to fix the problems they created.

Weird huh.

President Bush claims to be a free market capitalist but has yet to propose even one free market idea to steady the ship. The only thing the administration has put on the table is an onerous $700 billion federal market manipulation plan.

Weird huh.

The bailout fails. The ones who were to prosper from it throw a hissy fit. The market plunges nearly 800 points. Now lawmakers, like a beleaguered parent trying to get through a crowded department store toy section dragging a screaming 5 year old, are considering giving into the pampered class’s extortion.

All the talking heads are blaming Republicans for yesterday’s “market meltdown.” First, a 6% loss in value doesn’t make the top 10 “meltdowns.” Besides, when was written that markets cannot go down? Steady money is sure to buy into some pretty good deals this morning.

I don’t know how much I lost yesterday – was probably wiped out. Who knows? I’ve never followed it. I’d rather be wiped out than have the country turned into another namby pamby socialist wealth redistribution welfare state.

Weird huh.

The check is in the mail

I'll respect you in the morning.

You can sleep during the flight.

The government will make money on the bailout.

Of all of the Tom Foolery associated with the bailout, the idea that the government – the very entity that got us into this mess – is somehow going to be savvy enough to profit from their own mismanagement is insane. Prediction, the bailout will turn into a corrupt ATM for every Dem and worthless corrupt Lib organization - not only in America but in the world. The total cost of the bailout will go from 700 billion to 1.7 trillion.

I sent my representative a simple message, “If you vote for the bailout, I won’t vote for you.”

I mean it too. I won’t go so far as to vote for the socialist Dem – wait, a bit of redundancy there – I won’t vote for the Dem, but I won’t vote for the Rep who supports this nonsense either. Whooooa Lex, what about McCain? A stand, if a stand is to be made, will be in the house not the senate. Besides there’s too much at stake nationwide not to vote for McCain. I think IN’s 3rd will somehow muddle through for two years with the blue dog Dem running against the Rep.

But hey, as Lex noted last week, this is a done deal. We’re screwed. This will pass. It will result in a level of federal interference in our lives that will make the New Deal look down right conservative. Like the New Deal, government interference will prolong and make worse any problems we may be facing. Worse of all, this will become a model for future government interference.

We voted for these dofusses. We got what we deserved.

The non-essential B-HO

I’ll not be watching the debate tonight. It’s Friday night, and I’m sure there’s paint drying somewhere. Why watch? Let me guess, B-HO takes 10 minutes working hope and change into every non-answer answer while McCain takes 2 seconds to answer yes or no, then 9 minutes talking about reforming Washington.

Sorry, I’ve heard it all before. Besides I’m not exactly undecided. McCain would have to be removed from the Republican ticket for me not to vote for him on 4 Nov. B-HO’d have to be running against Bin Laden - even then I’d have close my eyes and hold my nose - before I’d pull a lever for the know nothing, do nothing, be nothing dope.

The only interesting thing in the entire evening – after we determine whether or not McCain shows up – is will McCain cut B-HO off at the knees as he did with his chief Republican rival Mitt Romney. I’ll be disappointed if McCain is not at least as aggressive with B-HO as he was with our own guy.

Did anyone else laugh yesterday when the Dem leadership announced that a “framework” had been agreed to only to have House Minority Leader John Bohner come out and say, “Uh excuse me. No it hasn’t.” And then the whole thing decendes into a shouting match at the White House meeting. I guess Bohner was right and the Dems, as usual, were wrong.

And how about the B-HO statement of, “if you need me, call me and I’ll be there.” The White House called but the Dems still haven’t. That tells you about all you need to know. When the announcement went out in the Marine Corps that Fri was a day off for all “non-essential personnel,” I always made it a point to be at work on Fri least anyone think I was “non-essential.” B-HO has declared himself non-essential in the biggest crisis of the day – brilliant and correct.

Oh and how about this one. While McCain was sneaking out the back door at the White House after yesterday’s meeting, B-HO was rushing to the banks of microphones set up out front to tell the assembled multitudes that “injecting presidential politics into the process wasn’t helpful.” So who exactly was injecting presidential politics into the process - the guy who suspended his campaign and left out the back door or the guy who has left his attack ads up and rushed to the mic after the meeting?

You can’t make this stuff up.

McCain looks like a leader. B-HO looks like aPol.

John Fund made the most sense explaining the bailout. Fund said it’s a done deal because no pol on either side of the aisle wants to go home and campaign for reelection with a tanking economy. So they are going to do what grandma and grandpa do when taking the grandkids to Disneyland – throw money at the problem.

The more you read about unfriendly foreign banks, illegal immigrants and terrorists all turning a quick buck on the housing industry, the more this deal stinks. If, as the president told us last night, there’s a good chance the government will make money on the bailout, why not give that opportunity to the private sector with tax incentives? Either the picture isn’t quite as rosy as the president paints it or it’s an unnecessary power grab by the government.

There is no way the government is going to make money on this deal unless they hire Mitt Romney to manage it. You cannot have the same people who ran and looted the program to begin with now running the bailout. An idiot is one who keeps doing the exact same thing and expecting a different result. Washington is loaded with idiots - sleazy, greedy, greasy, unpatriotic idiots – also know as politicians and in the main Dem Pols.

So, John McCain has suspended his presidential campaign to head back to Washington to work on the crisis that Washington created. I believe McCain is sincere. I don’t think he’s the right guy to be heading up negotiations. No doubt he’ll “cross the aisle” and give away the farm.

But McCain’s sincerity places B-HO in the position of appearing to be a total partisan – good bye independent vote – or, at a minimum, very slow on the draw. President Bush compounded B-HO’s problem by inviting him to the White House to work on the problem. What’s B-HO gonna say, “I’d love to, but Indiana is in play and I have a rally scheduled for Thur noon in Ft. Wayne.”

Also postponing the debate is slick move. McCain has challenged B-HO to 10 townhall debates. B-HO the dope who said he’d debate McCain “anytime anywhere” refused McCain’s invitation. So what’s the B-HO to do if he’s the only one standing on stage Fri while McCain is away wrestling with the nation’s most serious and immediate problem?

They could cancel all of the debates and both suspend their campaigns until 6pm on the 3rd of Nov. Only an idiot couldn’t make up his mind on this one.

A FOX tutorial on the financial mess

The best three-and-a-half minute rundown on the current financial crisis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHj8-HSi5AA

So yeah, as noted two posts down, Dems caused the problem they are now railing against. They shout about the lack of oversight that THEY BLOCKED. Reid, Dodd, Frank and Pelosi somehow lie straight faced while throwing blame on others for the problem THEY CAUSED. They feign outrage with the administration while knowing all along it’s THEIR FAULT.

Dems remain the hairy fat guy in the Speedo strutting on the beach described below. But now we see he has an ugly face, a slopping forehead, big crooked yellow buck teeth with huge gaps, a scraggly beard to hide his acne infested skin and a boil the size of golf ball on the end of his bulbous nose. Yet, he continues to stride up and down the beach with the supreme confidence that’s he’s the hottest guy out there.

So will Dems do anything useful to correct THEIR MESS? I doubt it. They have gotten a bump in the polls as a result of voter panic. Any party willing to lose a war for political advantage will have no problem allowing the country’s economy to tank for a few house seats.

Anyone who understands the facts in this mess and remains supportive of the Dem party is as corrupt, unpatriotic and full of excrement as the Dem “leadership.”

NO BAILOUT!

I don’t know much about the economy except that government getting too involved in it has to be a bad thing. So, this massive bailout has to be a bad idea. Yet it is being rushed through congress faster than a declaration of war after Pearl Harbor. So Lex fired this e-mail off to his congressman and senators this morning.

The bailout is a bad idea.

First, it’s too much money with too little control. No doubt the exact same people who created the crisis will profit from the government free-for-all bailout.

Next, there is no guarantee the bailout will work. Apparently the financial gurus crafting the bailout couldn’t see or hear this train wreck coming while standing right next to the track. So, how can they possibly claim to know how long the train is?

Next, the world economy is so intertwined now, we’re sure to be bailing out some corrupt entities somewhere in China, Venezuela, Korea etc.

Next, people who make bad decisions shouldn’t be able to expect that Uncle Sam will pick our pockets to pay for those mistakes. Nobody, not even mom and dad, bailed me out when I bought that stupid 1968 Dodge Coronet.

Last, thriving capitalism requires that dead branches caused by greed, overextension and/or mismanagement be pruned to allow the opportunity for rest of the plant to flourish.

The fix:
There is incredible opportunity in this market. Any bailout ought to come from the private sector. According to Newt Gingrich, no government money would be required to correct this economic crisis if congress would simply suspend capital gains taxes.

Doit!

Freddie's dead

There’s something funny going on. Dems who profited from the mortgage meltdown are now demanding that the people who profited from the mortgage meltdown do not profit from the mortage meltdown.

B-HO has in his employ two thieving scoundrels who drove Freddie MAC into the ground while driving themselves to the bank with tens of millions of dollars in bonuses. Franklin Raines, who is a “sometimes” financial adviser to B-HO, looted Freddie for $100 million before being booted, made to pay a fine and return stock options. Raines’ buddy Jim Johnson, who headed up the B-HO VP search, looted Freddie $40 million. I guess for B-HO though Johnson’s looting of Freddie pales in comparison to his VP pick.

But wait there’s more. Barney Frank was lisping his way through a series of Sunday morning talk show interviews demanding that the government protect home owners as well as the banks. That’s the same Barney Frank who insisted that everything was fine a couple years ago when auditors found that Freddie’s books were being cooked.

If that weren’t enough to make your blood boil, Chris Dodd – who received more campaign money from Freddie than anyone – was echoing the sentiment that the home owners need to be protected as well and that managers who “caused the mess” shouldn’t benefit from the government intervention. President Clinton, Frank, Dodd and their Dem buds were the idiots who set up the sub-prime time bomb in the first place.

So I guess Dodd will be calling for Raines, Johnson and current Freddie miss-manager Mudd to return the millions they took from the Dem cash cow. Also, every pol who took even a dime ought to be made to return the money.

How did the whole mess get started? Worried that there was discrimination going on in the home loan industry, Wiley E. Dem (Pres. Clinton, Frank, Dodd et al) bought an ACME Sub-Prime Lending Scheme kit. Well it turns out there was discrimination going on in the home loan industry. In yet another case of "I don't know when discrimination got a bad name" - those bastards were discriminating against people who couldn’t afford to buy a home!

The Dems fixed all of that. Anyone who wanted a home loan was given one without regard for whether or not they could make the payments. When it turns out they couldn’t make payments, Wiley E. Dem comes down with both feet on the banks for screwing the “home owner” – an odd term for a guy who didn’t put ten cents down on “his home” and isn’t making payments.

Now the mortgage industry has blown up in Wiley E. Dem’s face and in the process has torched the banking industry, insurance industry and is threatening the entire economy. When the grown ups show up to clean up Wiley E.’s mess, he’s like a five year old with chocolate all over his hands and face swearing to mom he didn’t eat the last piece of chocolate cake. Then he shocks mom by brazenly demanding she bake another cake because the last piece has somehow disappeared.

Ya gotta give to the Dems though. Dems are like a grossly overweight guy with hair on his back in an impossibly tight speedo strutting up and down the beach grossing everyone out all the while thinking he looks good.

Feeling patriotic? Put out an American flag.

As if anyone needed further proof that Slow Joe is a dope, yesterday, Slow Joe said that paying higher taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In his words, “it’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”

First and most important, when Dems aim higher taxes at the wealthy, they always hit the middle class. Remember when Dems imposed the so called luxury tax on east coast boat builders? Anyone who can afford a multi-million dollar boat can afford a 15% surcharge, claimed Wiley E. Dem with his ACME Tax Code pamphlet in hand. Well, if they could afford it, they weren’t willing to pay it.

As a result, all of the middle class people who earned their living off of the boats - the guys who build them, those who outfit them, supply parts and materials to them, sell them, transport them, clean them, advertise them etc. etc. all got pinched. Only after the plan blew up Wiley E. Dem’s face, causing much middle class suffering, did Wiley E. Dem decide to revoke the tax. But that was not before nearly ruining the industry and the people who work in it.

Next, as I’ve always said, if you think you’re under taxed send the balance of what you think your fair share is in to the treasury. Rich Libs will spend $28,000 to get into a Babs & B-HO event so they can listen to B-HO bitch about how taxes are too low. Hey! Hypocrites, just send it in!

Next, whatever you think the money could be best spent on save defense and roads, your money would be better spent if you gave it to a private entity. If you want to help the poor, donate to a food bank or the Catholic Church. If you want to help starving artists, donate to your local art museum. If you want to help the schools, use the money to put your kid in a private school. If you give the money to government, you can count on 50 to 75 cents of every dollar being wasted.

If you have a brain and want to be patriotic, put out an American flag. Join the armed services. Support the Wounded Warrior fund, Marine Corps Law Enforcement Fund, Special Op scholarship fund etc. etc. If you don’t have a brain – are you listening Joe? – send your money into the federal government.

Lib racism helping, hurting B-HO

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and perpetual CNN DB Jack Cafferty are shouting racism. When asked why the election remains so close given all of the Dem advantages this year, Sebelius laid this egg, “Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?” Cafferty, in one of his Olbermann like rants, claimed only racism explained the closeness of this election.

They’re right. With 98% of the black vote moving in lock-step, racism is the only answer. If McCain only got the usual 6-10% of the black vote, he’d be ahead by 4-6% nationwide. So yeah, racism is the only answer that explains why the know nothing, be nothing, do nothing B-HO and his mate Slow Joe are still hanging around. Were B-HO not black, he’d be just another white Alfred E. Newman look-a-like determined to drag America down the road of socialism.

But you can bet that Sebelius and Cafferty didn’t have mind-numbed blacks bent on voting for one that is half their own when they hurled the racism charge. No, when Libs hurl the racism charge it is always aimed at conservatives.

Ask Michael Steele where the Lib outrage was when he was pelted with Oreos during a run for the senate in MD. Ask Condi Rice where the Lib outrage is when she is attacked by the left in the most vicious ways. Ask Clarence Thomas, who is arguably the most powerful black man in America, where the Lib outrage is when he is constantly ridiculed by the left as a slow witted dope who can only ape Scalia’s opinions.

Were personal attacks like those being made by Libs against Steele, Rice and Thomas being made by conservatives against B-HO, all hell would break loose. Conservatives are not voting against B-HO because he’s black. They are voting against him because he’s a black Alfred E. Newman look-a-like determined to drag America down the road of socialism.

So why is the race so close? Well if racism has anything to with it, as already noted, black racism is keeping it close. If B-HO loses, it’ll be because of Lib racism. If it isn’t racist for conservatives to vote for the conservative in the race, only Lib racism is left to explain why B-HO can’t close the deal.

After all, Dems lead in fund raising, party identification and voter fraud registration.

On character, people and philosophy, the choice is obvious

When did we start electing all powerful, all knowing kings? The big Dem and MSM rub against Palin is that she’s not “qualified” to be president. Of course neither is the guy that they are supporting - and he’s at the top of the DEM ticket.

I’ve asked myself a hundred times how anyone could be “qualified” for all of the social, military, economic and foreign policies that are entailed in being president. I don’t think that anyone can truly be “qualified” in all of the areas.

So, we elect a president based on his character, the people he might choose to surround himself with and his governing philosophy.

John McCain’s character was forged during a lifetime of service to his country - five years of which were spent as a POW in North Vietnamese prison camp.

B-HO’s character was formed as a dope smoking cocaine snorting underachieving youth, turned Ivy League affirmative action fill, turned community organizer, turned self promoting politician.

John McCain has spent a lifetime in the company of heroes.

B-HO has spent a lifetime in the company of dope smokers, cocaine snorters, domestic terrorists, hate-filled preachers, lunatic priests, black separatists and an angry affirmative action queen wife.

John McCain has used his public position to advance a governing philosophy of bi-partisanship and country first. Many of McCain’s initiatives have been controversial and have turned those in his party against him.

B-HO has used his public position to promote a governing philosophy of advancing himself. He ducks important issues by voting present or not voting at all. He has not accomplished one thing of note let alone anything controversial.

Really, it’s so damn obvious who the right man is this time around.

Wyle E. Dem has found an ACME Troopergate kit

Troopergate is bound to blow up in the Dem’s and MSM’s faces. The only question is when and how. Here’s why:

First and most important, Mike Wooten the “trooper” is an idiot. Aside from sleeping and drinking on the job, illegally shooting a moose he was sworn to protect, he threatened to kill his father-in-law and tasered an 11 year old boy.

In short, Wooten appears to be a reckless derelict who should have been fired. Instead, for all of his dopey behavior, Wooten received a 5 day suspension. Had we worked for any institution outside of government, he’d have been given his walking papers along with a restraining order.

Next, when the story comes out, Palin’s going to look like a hero. We’ve all seen the movies where the hapless spouse is trying to protect herself from a deranged “if I can’t have her nobody can” husband. Repeated pleas for help from the authorities fall on deaf ears. Dead cats show up in the yard. Strange cars follow the family everywhere. Friends disappear and family members are beaten up.

Finally, on a rainy night when the children are off on a school outing, the power and phone lines are cut. The husband breaks in. For 45 minutes the woman and man struggle. Just as the man is about to plunge a kitchen knife into the woman, sister Sarah shows up and calmly shoots the man between the eyes. She continues to pull the trigger and unloads five more rounds into the cretin. Then we hear, click, click, click as she continues to pull the trigger while standing over the lifeless body.

Here’s the important thing for the Dems – the crowd cheers. They don’t care that sister Sarah never dialed 911. They don’t care if she had a permit for the gun. They don’t care that she didn’t holler, “Drop the knife!” before shooting the creep dead. They don’t care that she used illegal high-velocity Teflon bullets. The dope’s dead and Sarah is a hero.

Last, the Dems have some AK partisan hack - Sen. Hollis French - running the investigation. French has already told the media that his report is not going to make Palin look good. Hmmm, shouldn’t he have waited until the investigation was done to let that slip?

To make matters worse, Dems plan to release the report next month. There cannot be a thing political about timing of the release of the report now can there?

Dems will, as they always do, overplay their hand. As a result, the report will backfire and the Dems will end up looking like jerks. No that’s not right – they look like jerks because they are jerks. The report will only serve to further expose them as the jerks that they are.

If I were B-HO, I’d get French on the line and say, “Look you’re going to have some problems with that investigation. It won’t be done until after the election.”

The twisted sisterhood

Lib women are in a hate-filled slobber jawed tizzy over Sarah Plain. Palin took the feminist message and applied it to her own life in ways – successful ways – few in the feminist movement have or could even dream. Palin’s reward for being a feminist’s model is the scorn, hate and mockery of her feminist “sisters.”

It really is amusing that the Lib sisters are so twisted over the success of one of their own. Gloria Steinem, Ellen Goodman, Randi Rhodes et al have unleashed all manner of attack on Palin from “she’s really a man” to “she’s a teenage boy molester.” None have affected Palin in the slightest. In fact, one could argue that the attacks have strengthened Palin and her support among the American people. That only causes the nutroots to increase the attacks and up the ante for how whacko they are willing to go to destroy a shining example of one of their own. I expect news that Palin had a sex change operation any day now from a “respectable woman journalist.”

But why are Libs trying to destroy Palin? Because that’s what they do. They are petty little whiners when the tables are turned on them. Ask Clarence Thomas. Ask Condi Rice. Ask Ken Blackwell. Ask Michael Steele. These successful people are descended upon by Libs in the most vicious manner because they are successful. That’s not the crime the though. The crime against Libs is that they credit their success to hard work, family and the opportunity America offers rather government programs. And that is NOT to say that they were never discriminated against or unfairly had doors slammed in their faces. Rather their character and America’s opportunities allowed them to overcome such obstacles.

The more these dopes try to destroy Palin, the more America likes her. Whenever one of them comes on TV I see their head morph into Wyle E. Coyote. In their hands is a pamphlet titled “The ACME Character Assassination Kit.” Everyone knows what’s coming. You just don’t know when or how. So, I just sit back and wait for it to blow up in their collective faces. Ask Charlie “Bush Doctrine” Gibbson.

Are you REALLY undecided or just stupid?

Lex has pretty much tuned out of the MSM. No more talking cable heads – not even Fox. No more nightly news with some high priced liberal news reader telling me what is important and how I ought to think about what they think is important. I mostly ignored the conventions, but how could you ignore Palin’s speech?

Long summer days were better spent outside in the yard, watching little league baseball, going to Scout camp, pitching corn hole or sharing a beer with the neighborhood men across the swale. Now the days are short and we’re being forced back indoors earlier and earlier each evening where we’re faced with a TV choice between the gay and lesbian lip sync contest and two partisan political blowhards shouting at each other for an hour.

So we head back outside to share a beer in the dark with the neighborhood men across the swale.

To make matters worse, it’s an election year. We have 60 more days of charge and counter charge and fools like Matt Damon talking about dinosaurs roaming the Earth 4,000 years ago. I wish we could vote today.

But alas, the undecideds need more time. These people have to be retarded or just want people to think that they are sophisticated because they are too stupid to make up their minds. Given the stark differences between the two candidates, it should be an easy choice. Or maybe it’s that they’ve spent their entire summer outside in the yard, watching little league baseball, going to Scout camp, pitching corn hole or sharing a beer with the neighborhood men across the swale.

Anyway, is the fact that McCain is 72 years old going to be enough for a conservative to say to himself, “well, better to have know nothing, do nothing, be nothing tax and spend liberal as president than a conservative who might just die while in office.” I doubt it.

Is the fact that B-HO is a know nothing, do nothing, be nothing tax and spend liberal who has surrounded himself with nefarious characters to promote his political career going to be enough for the average Lib to say to himself, “sure B-HO will probably do his best to destroy the country, but isn’t that what we want? Oh and he’s black. I’d better vote for honorable war hero.” We'll see.

We need a quasi parliamentary system. When Lex tires of the political season, Lex can call for elections within ten days. If you haven’t decided by now, you’ll only be holding up line trying to decide when you go into the booth. Let’s vote.

Dems acting like WWE villain

You can put sailboat ears on a dope and he’s still a what…oh yeah a dope with sailboat ears. Day three of lipstick gate. That’s the subject B-HO doesn’t want to talk about but has brought up so often, it’s now part his stump speech.

Yesterday, another so called “smart” Dem in SC came up with the brilliant line that the only reason Palin was on the ticket was that she had not had an abortion. That is what passes for enlightened political discussion among Dems these days. The comment was followed immediately by the obligatory politician non-apology apology. “I’m sorry if my comment offended anyone.” I’m sorry that 98% of Dems who speak in public these days are so unhinged that they say something stupid (ie. Slow Joe telling a man in a wheelchair to stand up so the crowd can see him).

Dems need to pull the 30 wolves they sent to AK to search out dirt on Palin and send them to a WWE event. Dems are beginning to look like the bad guy in a fake wrestling match. Every time Mauler McGursky does something dirty to Cowboy Sam, the crowd boos. The clueless referee (played by our MSM) also gets booed because he is always miraculously distracted or out of position and doesn’t see (or doesn’t want to see) any of the Mauler’s dirty tactics. When Mauler takes the cup of battery acid and throws it into Cowboy Sam’s face the ref is on his knees behind the actions and doesn’t see a thing. When the crowd explodes in anger, the ref gives them the secret sign of a Democrat - palms up, head cocked to one side and shrugged shoulders.

The longer this goes on the more incensed the crowd becomes. Finally, Cowboy Sam has had enough and lays a long unrelenting a$$whipping on the Mauler – the crowd goes nuts. Then Sam grabs the frightened skinny ref and ties him up in the ring ropes. The crowd goes berserk! Sam stands in the center of the ring arms raised victoriously overhead clutching his title belt.

The more the Dems attack her, the more we like her. The more they talk about her “lack of experience,” the more it highlights B-HO’s non-existent experience - save for what is now being touted as the ultimate presidential experience…community organizing.

LAST: 2,557 days and counting

Keith Olbermann closes his show every night with a count up from the day President Bush landed on the aircraft carrier with the Mission Accomplished sign. As in (use your pompous voice here)“The XXXX day since Mr. Bush declared ‘Mission Accomplished’ in Iraq.”

Hey Keith! Today is the 2,557th day since Sep. 11, 2001. Today is the 2,557th day since a major attack on US soil by Islamo-terror-fascists.

The more they go after her, the more I like her

They are out to get Sarah Palin. All manner of nutroot accusations from newest son Trig really being her daughter’s baby, to banning books, to ordering that creationism be taught in public schools, to firing a safety commissioner to influence her sisters’ divorce, to stealing per diem, to she really liked the bridge to nowhere have been floated. All have been destroyed by the truth.

Right now 30 DNC lawyers are combing AK drilling for the only thing that makes Dems run – dirt on a political opponent. News is that there will be new and serious scandals breaking tomorrow in the DNC’s “party organ” - the NY Times. Here’s the latest Palin scandal run down:

She trumped her partner’s ace during a Euchre game in 1982.
She wore white after Labor Day on Sept. 23rd 1986.
Her belt and shoes didn’t match at a PTA function.
She had a particularly bad hair in Jun. this year.
She was ten minutes late picking her son up from hockey practice one day because she stopped to save a group of young children who were being attacked by a grizzly bear.

This is all heavy stuff and sure to affect the race. It’s sure to drive fair thinking voters right into the McCain Palin camp. Voters, particularly women voters, don’t want to see and hear the constant false scandal of the day. It also will have the “boy who cried wolf” effect on any real scandal the Dems might run across. Ho hum, just more MSM BS about Palin.

Now B-HO is making fun of Palin’s lipstick remark. I wonder how the MSM would react if McCain made fun of B-HO’s inner tube sized lips and sail like ears?

Choosing a doctor

Your child is sick. You rush him to the hospital.

In walk two doctors. Dr. X is a serious looking white haired man long on “straight talk” and short on bedside schmooze. The other, Dr. Y, is a young guy. The nurses and orderlies swoon over Dr. Y who glad hands everyone in the room before coming over to talk to you.

You can pick which of the two doctors will treat your son. So you ask about experience. The Dr. X says he’s been practicing medicine for 50 years and seen 1,000s of patients. The Dr. Y says he forewent the big bucks of being a doctor to serve as a community organizer.

You ask Dr. Y, how long he’s been a doctor. It turns out Y has been a Dr. only three years. Most of that time he’s spent running for chief surgeon of the hospital. How many patients have you seen, you ask Y. Nearly one, comes the reply. But he assures you that he’s consulted on several cases.

Dr. X tells you that Dr. Y once advocated letting a sick patient die. “Is the patient dead?” Dr. X says, “No we started a new therapy and the patient, while still in danger, is recovering.” Dr. Y interrupts, “the patient is dead and has been dead for a long time. The therapy failed.” Dr. X says, “That’s just not true the patient is just down the hall. Wait, that’s him right there. He’s the one on roller skates.”

You ask how each would treat your son. Dr. X says, “We’ll follow a very strict protocol of tests and medicine until we determine the best treatment.” Dr. Y says, “We’ll hope for a change in his condition.”

Which Dr. would you pick?

GOOD NEWS!

Holy Cow! Palin McCain up by ten in a USA Today poll. Double Holy Cow!! NBC to drop Olbermann and Matthews from anchor rolls. Does that make NBC the “Worst person in the world”? Will there be one of Olbermann’s pompous and supercilious “Special Comments” tonight? Is Pissy Matthews getting that tingle up his leg? Now, if only AlGore would tell the truth and say, “I really do not know a thing about the science of global warming” we’d have a trifecta.

No Doubt the Slow Joe-B-HO campaign is using up more band width than NASA this morning communicating among themselves and their boot licking media buds trying to figure out what to do. President Clinton will weigh in with the nuclear option: “Slow Joe you’re going to come down with some unspecified illness that forces you off of the ticket. Hillary will step in as VP. If you get elected, I will run things from my bachelor pad in France.”

Drug prescriptions for the “beautiful people” in Hollywood must be quadrupling this morning as well. Have you noticed that every time the Palin McCain campaign uses a piece of rock music in public, the artist sends them a “cease and desist” order? Among others Abba, John Melloncamp, Jackson Brown and Heart have denied the Palin McCain campaign the use of their music.

That seems petty and dumb to me. They have to know that the country is split about 50/50. Why PO half of America? Unless the candidate was a David Duke type, I’d just say: “While I do not endorse candidate X, I’m happy candidate X enjoys my tunes.”

The only group more in lockstep than Hollywood this election cycle is blacks. Blacks are the more difficult group to understand though. They have been getting screwed by Dems for the last 40 years yet they keep coming back.

So what can we learn bout this sudden change of events? First the American people, given time and no matter how much hype from the “beautiful people” and MSM, will see through a phony baloney. Ask Millie Vanillie. Next, the American people have a tremendous sense of fair play. We tend to notice when our sports teams get screwed by the officials or cops overact during a traffic stop or the MSM gets its head firmly planted up the butt of a candidate and we don’t like any of it. Last, the campaign turned on dime last week. It can turn again in the next 60 days.

B-HO the self-licking ice cream cone

B-HO and his lemmings in the MSM have a new claim that the “chosen one” has presidential type experience. The claim runs along this line:

Sure he was a clueless unaccomplished dope smoker and cocaine user that thinks that there are 60 states, Iranians speak Arabic, and that an “a” at the end of a word like Wassila takes a long “e” sound making it Wassilly. Sure until recently, if someone told him that the Russians had invaded Georgia, he’d have called out the Georgia state National Guard. Sure he was listening to an America hating preachers for 20 years, running with an unrepentant domestic terrorist and had a Chicago street thug work out a sweetheart deal and loan rate on his house. But that was all before he began running for president. Running for the office has given him all of the experience he needs to HOLD the office.

This type of circular argument is what we in the Marine Corps used to refer to as a self-licking ice cream cone. It goes like this:

Major X loses $100,000 worth of equipment.
Major X organizes a search party.
Major X finds the equipment.
Major X puts himself in for a Meritorious Service Medal for finding $100,000 of lost equipment.

But there’s a happy ending. Colonel Y rolls the award recommendation up, puts his lighter to it and lights a cigar with it. Col Y puts the burnt remains of the recommendation on Major Y’s desk.

The B-HO story takes pretty much the same route:
A community organizer writes two books about himself.
The community organizer reads his own books and discovers that for all of his advantages of education, he has accomplished nothing, nada, zilch, zero in his life.
The community organizer decides he should run for president to enhance his resume.
The community organizer uses the fact that he’s running for president as a qualification to hold the office.

So using the B-HO’s logic, anyone no matter how stupid and inexperienced, is qualified to be president if they can read a speech off of a teleprompter and find a team of handlers to make them look smart while running for the office.

Will there be a happy ending to this story? I think there will be. But if B-HO doesn’t lose by 15 points it will indicate that there is something seriously wrong here.

WOW!

The only question is will they be able to get slow Joe out from under his bed in time for the VP debate. The only bad thing is that while Loon Libs may have been prone to misunderestimate her before, they won’t/can’t now.

So I guess McCain was the right pick for president after all. No other candidate could/would have picked Palin. McCain’s experience and nationwide name recognition allowed him to move outside the box to grab up a 2 year governor that until Friday was nearly anonymous.

Early front runners like Mitt, Rudy, and Huckabee would have to have gone with a Senator to shore up a perceived foreign policy weaknesses. Fred might have been able to go with Palin but sadly, he was never really in the running.

Speaking of Fred, I saw his keynote the other night and thought it a shame that he couldn’t talk as eloquently about himself as he does about other people. That is a great human trait but a fatal flaw for anyone in high stakes politics.

Just for grins I tuned into PMSNBC after Palin’s speech to get their reaction. The set was so muted and dower, it was as if Michael Moore had choked on a ham sandwich and passed away. I sensed that they knew that they had just witnessed a game changer. Everyone from Laura O’Donnell to Pissy Matthews was forced to admit that Palin’s speech was a home run. Although Pissy apparently didn’t get any tingles up his leg.

Loony Libs know they are in trouble. They know that they have picked the wrong guy. They know that they cannot hide his incompetence, inexperience and shallowness for another 60 days. They know that October will highlight again B-HO’s shady alliances with fools, dopes and terrorists like Flager, Wright and Ayres.

Palin was also a brilliant pick because as the MSM focuses on Palin’s “inexperience” it highlights B-HO’s own complete lack of accomplishments and by comparison makes Palin look like Machiavelli. The MSM drug up Todd Palin’s DUI of 20 years ago. That served to remind us that while Todd was drinking beer, B-HO was snorting cocaine and smoking dope. The MSM obsess on her special needs child and pregnant teenage daughter, which only reminds us that she not only talks the talk but walks the walk and that her principles will not shift with difficult circumstances or polling results.

The more they attack her, the more we like her. Keep it up Dems and MSM. We appreciate it.

Newt nukes PMSNBC

Newt takes less than a minute to destroy B-HO and the “Palin has no experience” myth. This is why I thought Newt was the most qualified person in America eligible to be president or VP – less Cheney.

Gingrich DESSIMATES Oblermann’s floor reporter on Sarah Palin’s “inexperience.”

The end of the clip is missing. At the point where Gingrich asks the reporter to tell him one thing that B-HO has done, the reporter just gives a blank stare, and throws it back to Olbermann.

Becoming a Palin fan

OK when McCain picked Palin, I thought, what a pander. I had heard of Palin from Larry Kudlow on CNBC. He was very impressed by her and thought she’d be a great pick. But I thought, of all the qualified people, Fred, Michael Steele, etc. etc. why’d he pick her?

Well first off I think the McCain team saw what I’m beginning to see in her early on. Second, the McCain team knows it has to win the election before it can cut taxes, defend the nation and open our borders – oops couldn’t resist on that last one.

So the question comes up, is she ready to be one heart beat away from Commander in Chief? Well, one could counter with, is B-HO ready to BE Commander in Chief? But we’ve been down that road. The best answer I heard this weekend was, “Well I’d rather vote for McCain and hope he lives than vote for B-HO and hope he dies.”

But I’m beginning to see a lot in Palin. First off, I’ve often said we’d be better off with ordinary folks in positions of power than with a bunch of inbred pols for life types that have been running things since JFK.

What’s wrong a having a governor of one of the most important states in the union; a businesswoman; a union member; a fisherman; a hunter; a former mayor and councilwoman; a mother of five; married to union man who happens to be a world champion “snow machine” racer run as Vice President of the United States? In many respects it makes perfect sense. I doubt that the Palin household is operating on a budget deficit. With five kids, I suspect that there is an overwhelming amount of common sense in the household and no plans to climb up on the roof and wait for a National Guard helicopter in the event of a disaster or an emergency.

In every respect Palin is more qualified to be president than B-HO. B-HO’s major accomplishment in his life to date is writing two books. Books about politics, history, art, music, or anything else of substance? NO! He’s written two books about himself – a man who has accomplished nothing. Not even his most ardent Dem supporters can name even one thing the guy has done that amounts to a hill of beans. He has not even run a single committee hearing since joining the senate three years ago.

National Defense: Palin runs the AK National Guard and is neighbors with Russia. Aside from a ten day world tour, B-HO gets another goose egg.

Executive experience: Palin has run been responsible for running everything from her household to the state of AK. Slow Joe and B-HO get a combined zero for having ever been in charge of anything bigger or more complicated than office football pool.

Palin has cut taxes, fought corruption, the good ol’boy network and has an 80% approval rating in AK. Slow Joe and B-HO want to raise taxes. Slow Joe is about as sleazy a pol as has come down the line and IS the good ol’ boy network. Approval ratings for the congress is 9%

Pro life: Palin lives her belief. She and her family have a Downs’s Syndrome child. In this day and age they to have know that child was afflicted early on. Still they chose life for the child. Now it has come to light that the 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Again, the Palin’s chose life. Slow Joe tries to contort Catholic cannon to conform with his own POLITICAL beliefs. Bishops and the Pope have told him other Dems twisting the church's word, they are WRONG. B-HO takes his anti-life position to the next level - infanticide. B-HO voted THREE TIMES against protecting a child who survives an abortion attempt. B-HO said as long as the mother’s intent was to destroy the child, the child could be killed after a live birth.

Last, Palin seems smarter and more articulate than anyone in the field, including McCain.

I think she’ll be fine. Beside we can always throw President Clinton’s words right back their faces – “They didn’t think I was qualified either.” Wait scratch that – he wasn’t qualified. How about a combo Lloyd Benson - Bill Clinton? I know Bill Clinton. Sarah Palin is no Bill Clinton.

New Orleans: America's three year old child

Hurricane Gustav is churning and burning its way toward US landfall somewhere between east Texas and west Florida. That’s a lot of landfall exposed. So where would you put your Secretary of Homeland Security and your FEMA Director? New Orleans of course.

Why New Orleans? Well there are the levies of course and the fact that sits about six feet below sea level. There’s also the fact that the good people there – a great many of whom were not smart enough to get out of the way of a cat 5 hurricane moving at 12 mph with five days notice - reelected Mayor Ray School Bus Nagin. Nagin presided over the Katrina disaster. Also, three years and billions of tax payer dollars later, Crescent City leaders and dwellers are still bitching about the government not doing enough for them. And, NO that’s NOT after they acknowledge and thanked the American people for their generosity.

I was supporting the local Class A minor league team one night not too long ago. I sat down with Lex jr and heard the couple next to me talking. I turned to them and said, “It doesn’t sound like you’re from around here. Where you from?” They said, Louisiana. I said, “Oh New Orleans.” They were offended. “No! We’re not from down there. We can take care of ourselves.”

So yeah, focus on New Orleans and take care of the people who have demonstrated time and again that they can’t take care of themselves. It’s probably cheaper. It’s like if there’s a fire in your house. You have two teenaged sons and a three year old daughter. Your first reaction is going to be to help the three year old first.

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Hey everybody, there’s a toga party at Invesco field tonight! Dems have decided to role the B-HO out on a stage resembling a Greek temple. What were they thinking? Let’s reinforce the B-HO’s “citizen of the world” image by building a Greek temple for the stage. What “smart guy” thinks Joe Sixpack is going to buy into 70,000 people cheering at a football stadium made up to look like the Acropolis?

Aside from saying “ya see” 5,000 times, what was the point of Ma O’s speech? The lie Ma O tried to convince us of was, “Ya see, we’re just like you.” That is aside from my $317,000 a year affirmative action job, the Ivy League educations, the scummy house and land deals, listening to a pastor G-D America for 20 years, ain’t never no how bein’ proud of this down right mean country, hanging out with unrepentant domestic terrorists, and giving a speech at Invesco on a stage that costs more than your whole damned neighborhood, other than that, we’re just like you.

Sure showing up to give a speech at a Greek temple, that’s what we “typical white” people do. What a load of bovine excrement.

I’m not going to watch. I have people – Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham - to do that for me, but this could blow up right in their faces. The guy getting off his shift de-greasing machinery down at the plant is more likely to think “what the hell” than to think it’s cool.

This presents a great opportunity next week for Republicans.

First stay on message:
Drill here drill now.
The surge worked. B-HO’s so stupid he doesn’t even know it yet.
Be positive about America and our future if we allow the America people rather than the American government to guide that future.

Last, we don’t need no stinkin’ Greek temple. Use photos of the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rushmore, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials and the Capitol Building as backdrops.

Now, I gotta go look for an old bed sheet and something to make a laurel wreath out of for the toga party tonight.

Pete Rose Home Run King

Hey try this some time. While you’re talking to a pro baseball player say, “Well Pete Rose is baseball’s home run king! Yup, he’s hit more dingers than anyone – ever.” Then listen as nearly everyone within ear shot corrects you.

Then after being corrected loudly and publicly by everyone from Barry Bonds to the guy who maintains the Baseball Almanac to your son’s little league coach that you’re wrong, cite some guy on ESPN who said in 1972, “If Pete Rose was a bit bigger, a lot stronger, a great deal more powerful, used a larger bat, improved his bat speed and got the right pitches, he might be the home run king ” as proof that your statement is true.

If you’re currently the second person in succession to the president, Nan’ Pelosi, this will all make sense. The queen of ditz said Catholic writings are not clear as to when life begins. Then after being excoriated by bishops across America, including Bishop William Lori, chairman of the bishops' Committee on Doctrine (I guess that Lori would be to Catholic Catechism what the guy who maintains the Baseball Almanac is to baseball.) she just keeps yapping something about St. Augustine while ignoring the 20,000 tons of pro life writings and declarations issued by the Catholic Church dating back two thousand years. Hey, Nan’ ever heard of something called the preponderance of evidence?

Calling this windbag an idiot is an insult to idiots everywhere. Yet she persists. As if saying, “oops that was a mistake” would somehow make her look dumber on the issue than telling every Catholic Bishop in the nation that THEY don’t know what THEY are talking about. We have gotten what we deserve, Nan’ Pelosi and Harry Reid. Will we double down this Nov with Slow Joe and the B-HO?

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! The sun rose in the east this morning!

How did the angry one – Ma Obama – do last night? I don’t have clue. I refuse to watch. And to be fair, I won’t watch much next week either. What great revelation is going to come out of these conventions? B-HO will be nominated this week with Slow Joe as his running partner and John McCain will be nominated next week. The MSM will fawn all over the Dems and find every single loon at Rep convention offering them an open mic.

So why watch? I’m sure Ma Obama did a 180 on her “I ain’t never no how been proud of this down right mean country – America” meme. I’m quite certain the Dems made sure Ma Obama didn’t come off like the frustrated affirmative action queen that she is.

Taking a page from Kobe, Ma O was probably all sunshine and light - telling us how proud she is of America and how much she loves this country for the opportunities it has provided for her family.

Sorry, it’s too late honey. Your unscripted moments provide a window into your soul that a smooth reading of a text prepared by your handlers cannot cover up. You were a mean angry woman who didn’t care much for this great land two months ago. What’s changed?

Reports are that Chris Matthews got that tingle up his leg again and Keith Olbermann openly declared himself in the tank for the Dems. The sun also rose in the east this morning, is anyone surprised by any of it? So why watch?

The VPs

Rumor has it that B-HO has made his VP choice, but won’t tell us who it is. Brilliant! Boy am I ever on the edge of my seat. Now we get another day-and-a-half of a hundred thousand talking cable heads telling us who it’ll be or who it should be. Thanks B-HO. That’s one more reason not to vote for you.

Besides, everyone knows that B-HO has selected Newt Gingrich so why doesn’t he just say so. Newt is a pro-life, win the war Republican. By choosing Newt, B-HO has demonstrated to moderates and independents that he can reach across the aisle to do what’s best for America.

Anyone believing that? B-HO isn’t even considering one of a half dozen or so RINOs - Hagle, Snow, Collins, Specter et al - to be VP. No one in the MSM is encouraging such move. Why? You cannot listen to radio or TV for ten seconds without some melon head talking about what a great move it’d be for McCain to pick Joe Lieberman for his VP.

Why do you suppose it’d be good for McCain to sell out his base in the name of appealing to moderates and independents but not good for B-HO to do the same? Because the MSM knows it’d kill McCain and that’s what they want.

Oh by the way, other than Dick Cheney, Newt is the most qualified man in America to be VP. A qualification I’m sure that hasn’t crossed either candidates mind.

Under Pressure

There’s a question people want to know the answer to about a leader. What’s he like under pressure? Well we know McCain has been under extreme pressure as POW. He weathered that and went onto successful careers in the Navy and as a Pol.

The most pressure B-HO’s been under is when a floodlight burned out at his midnight basketball round robin when he was a “community organizer.” Now, with the pressure building, it’s the B-HO telling John McCain that McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against. B-HO's cracking up.

I suppose with that warning McCain has convened an emergency meeting of his closest advisors seeking advice on how to pull out of the race gracefully. I expect a Fox News Alert any minute followed by McCain standing nervously at the podium sweating and in near tears admitting that he just can’t win. So why go on?

I think McCain and much of America is beginning to understand exactly what they are up against. That’s why B-HO is falling like the Ford Thunderbird at the end of Thelma and Louise. It's a selfish shame they ruined that car while doing the world a favor. They should have just thrown themselves off the cliff.

America is beginning to learn something about the know nothing, do nothing, be nothing community organizer married to a mean spirited ever grouchy affirmative action queen and they don’t like it.

As far as McCain not knowing what he’s up against, that may be true. B-HO may prove to be a bigger, more arrogant dolt than any of us ever imagined. It’s hard to believe that a guy who spent years in a Vietnamese prison camp routinely being beaten, can have anything but a chuckle for the Chicago community voter fraud organizer who issues such a warning. You can almost hear McCain, "yeah kid, I'm real scared because I've never been in a tight spot before."

But don't take my word for it. Here’s the Griffin’s take:

I watched the tube last night and a read a Drudge report on Obama attacking/going after McCain just before the Dem Convention. Call me silly but a young, angry, tall, black guy attacking an old, short, white-war-hero grandpa will not play well here in Ohiya. I don’t think this will work in West-By-God, or Pennsyltucky either.

When some people come under a lot of pressure their character changes and I think Obama is beginning to crack . His handlers are cracking too. It is like my aunt Louise realizing she needs one number to win bingo. She will go into a near faint then cuss like a truck driver when someone else yells BINGO! All this happens in a matter of seconds. This is the same women that will backhand you with a flyswatter for saying “heck” in her presence.

I hope Mac shows his cool under pressure while the Dems defile him next week. He will come off as calm and cool while the Dems are running in circles like the Japanese in a Godzilla movie. The MSM will be throwing palm fronds ahead the anointed one. I would like to see Mac select Fred “Hound-dog” Thompson as VP but it will be Mitt.
The Griffin sends

Do not question this man's patriotism

At his VFW speech yesterday, B-HO said he would not let anyone question his patriotism. I question his patriotism. I also question his mental acumen to be president. Hold on. The B-HO patriotism police are at the door. It seems they are serious about not letting anyone question the B-HO’s patriotism.

Well here’s the list of particulars re B-HO’s patriotism.

He’s running for president – he says – because America is not the country it once was or could be. Of course that is vintage B-HO, a vacuous thought with no particular meaning. As far as not being the country it once was, tell that to your race hustling buddies. America has progressed a long way from the days of Jim Crow, though your race baiting buds never acknowledge that fact. Tell your open borders idiots in the Dem party that America is not what it once was and it’s due in part to their insane open borders and immigration enforcement policy.

With regard to America not being what it could be – who or what ever is? In spite of dopes like B-HO, America remains the freest, most prosperous, most innovative, most creative and strongest country ever. But yeah sure we could be better. We could have recognized what a buffoon the B-HO was six months ago.

Then there’s the long list of shady associations. Associations with creeps like the flag trampling unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. But of course one would never question Billy Ayers patriotism either – right?

And how can we forget the right Rev Wright? No one could ever question the patriotism of someone who G-Ds America now could they.

Then there’s his affirmative action queen wife. She’s never been proud of America because America’s a down right mean country. There’s nothing unpatriotic in any of that.

Then there’s sleezbag Tony Rezko who bought B-HO’s house or at least arranged a sweetheart deal and a reduced mortgage rate on it.

Then there’s B-HO’s wife getting a huge pay raise right after B-HO gets to congress and steers grant money to the hospital where she happens to work.

In all of this the B-HO will claim as he did with Ayers, Rezko and Wright, “well I didn’t know anything about all of that” or as in his new dodge “that’s above my pay grade.” So he’s either a dope or an unpatriotic liar. He’s probably equal parts of both.

Then, as if anyone with a brain needs more evidence what an utter smarmy dolt this guy is, when asked at Rick Warren’s forum on Sat who he would seek council from in a crisis, B-HO said his wife and grandmother.

Oh great. I can just see it. “Granny the Russians invaded Georgia. What do we do?” As “typical white person” granny answers, “Let it go. I can’t stand all of those damned darkies in Atlanta anyway.”

Wind, projects and forums

Windbags

Turns out Nan’ Pelosi and T. Boone are couple of windbags. These two of late have been vilifying oil and everyone involved with it from the guys who bring it out of the ground, to the refiners, to us for using too much of the stuff.

Well it turns out the two are heavily invested wind – natural not their own – and natural gas as well. So guess who stand to profit if gas remains at $4 a gallon. That would be correct - T. Boon and Nan.

Now if T Boon wants to tilt at windmills, that’s his business – literally. But a Pol holding up a vote on lifting the federal ban on drilling – while she stands to make millions if oil would just go away or at least remain unaffordable - is criminal. I’d say the House Ethics Committee – insert any oxy moron joke here - needs to look into this.

China’s Project 119

Well we finally found something Communism is good at. The Chinese have something called Project 119 that identifies children who show potential to be Olympic athletes. The state then takes control of the children and trains them like a circus animals to perform at sporting events.

Is that cheating? If it’s not against the letter of the Olympic law it’s against the spirit. But who cares? Commies have been doing this stuff forever. Just go whip their butts and the athletes have the perfect out. It’s not my fault! It’s the states’ fault. Hmm, on second thought better not go around blaming the state for anything in China.

So what if the US government got involved in such a program. Disaster that’s what. Let’s call ours Project BR549 - the number for Jr. Samples’ Hee Haw Used Car dealership. Mickey Rooney would the center on the men’s basketball team. Every relay team would have to have a black guy, a woman and disabled person on it. Shooting events would be forfeited as a stand against gun violence. Michael Phelps would be allowed to keep only one of his gold medals. The others would be confiscated by Project BR549 officials and redistributed to athletes who slept late rather than train. After years of utter failure, the Project BR549 committee would claim that more money is needed for the next “five year plan” if the US is ever going to be able to seriously compete in the Olympics.

The Saddleback forum

I missed the forum. I was in a bar in Angola, IN waiting for Michael Phelps to swim his last event. Trust me a request to switch the channel over to the forum in this place would have caused some problems.

Anyway, it seems Mr. Smooth and articulate the B-HO was a stumbling bumbling– and yes even lying - boob and was smoked like a slab of ribs at a Texas Bar-B-Q by old white guy John McCain. What to do? Well if you’re B-HO the last thing you do is say, “well I hope to do better at the next forum.” No. That would take a man. Instead, B-HO calls his opponent a cheater. Well played guys. We all know whitey got where he is today by cheating everyone from the Indians to his own mother.

The Griffin, as usual, succinctly puts the whole thing into perspective:
McCain smoked BHO last night at Rick Warren’s church. A liberal associate professor versus a Navy fighter jock. Not a difficult choice for us in Ohio.

Philly Libs and Kobe Bryant

A few last notes about the family’s Philly trip. Philly is a Lib city. This sad fact was made apparent at every turn. Our first stop was at the old city waterworks, which had been turned into a museum – of sorts.

Included in the museum display were enlarged editorial cartoons by Tony Auth the Philadelphia Inquirer’s editorial cartoonist. Every one of the cartoons was a slap a t George Bush for causing or worsening global warming.

OK even if you believe the global warming hoax, AlGore tells us the planet has been warming for the last 100 years. Bush has been president only for the last 7+ years. George Bush therefore, contrary to assbackward Lib thinking cannot be the proximate cause of global warming. Also, the global warming hoaxsters - aka scientists with global warming grants – tell us that there has been NO appreciable warming in the last ten years. Oh buddy but watch out for the next ten, they warn. Two years ago, AlGore told us we’d all be dead in ten years from global warming.

Lemmesee, two from ten that’s almost eight. Just eight lousy years left. I’m taking Lex jr. out of school. He might as well enjoy his last few years on the planet before it turns into a cinder.

Next. At nearly all of the historic spots and tours some apology was made for the United States’ involvement in slavery. This is sort of like John Edwards starting each day apologizing Elizabeth. If the apology is accepted, there’s no need to go on apologizing. If it’s not, there’s no need to go on apologizing.

Only once was the point made that slavery at the time was a worldwide business. And never was the point made that African tribes participated in the business and profited from it. Sort of like a druggie and drug seller relationship. Law enforcement usually comes down harder on the seller. So, should Africa be made to pay reparations?

NEVER was the point made how revolutionary the idea of government by the people was in the late 1700s. It was totally new. It was the boldest thinking in centuries. And even harder to believe was the government that the founders cobbled together to support this idea. At the time, it had to look like the biggest unwieldy Rube Goldberg contraption ever.

Three co-equal branches of government? It’s never been done - what foolishness! One of three co-equal branches itself divided into two co-equal houses? A House of Representatives AND a Senate! Yougottabekiddingme! What were they thinking? Powers enumerated to LIMIT government? Unheard of! It’s doomed to failure! All other rights reserved for the several states and the people? It can’t be! It’ll never work! It can’t work!

Now we’re the oldest democracy in the world and still the freest people. In the comfort and safety of the modern day and without context, today’s race baiters look back on the giant leaps the founders took in 1787 and call them inadequate.

They need to look at what has been accomplished since 1787. They need to listen to Kobe Bryant in an interview with Chris Collinsworth:

Collinsworth: Where does the patriotism come from inside of you? Historically, what is it?

Kobe: Well, you know it’s just our country, it’s… we believe is the greatest country in the world. It has given us so many great opportunities, and it’s just a sense of pride that you have; that you say ‘You know what? Our country is the best!’

Collinsworth: Is that a ‘cool’ thing to say, in this day and age? That you love your country, and that you’re fighting for the red, white and blue? It seems sort of like a day gone by.

Kobe: No, it’s a cool thing for me to say. I feel great about it, and I’m not ashamed to say it. I mean, this is a tremendous honor.

And that’s not the first time Kobe has made the point that escapes, Michelle Obama, Al Sharpton, Rev Wright and Jesse Jackson. In an interview with Jim Rome before the NBA finals, Kobe told Rome that the Olympics were very important. He said – paraphrasing – Our guys are over there fighting doing what they do and that’s the real sacrifice. But this is what we do and maybe we can pick America up a little bit by wining the gold.

I don’t know Bryant’s politics. I suspect he’ll be a B-HO man. I don’t care. I like Kobe Bryant.

Philly's a mess

Philadelphia could be a great city. It has a wonderful skyline, great historic sights to see, sports teams and is the home of the word famous Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. Were it not for the filth and the human debris that litter the city – even at some of the most famous places in American history - Philly would be great.

Sadly, today it’s not. You cannot take a single step – even in the historic district – without stepping over or in gum, trash or a cigarette butt. Garbage is piled up in front of business on the sidewalk for pick up. Bums – ah er the homeless – use many of the park benches in the most inspiring locations for their afternoon nap to sleep off last night’s excesses or when they are not picking through the trash in front of the businesses.

Trash is the easy part to correct. Pick it up. Fine the beejeezers out of anyone dropping anything that didn’t grow there on the ground. The human problem is a bit more difficult. I don’t know when we decided that it’s more humane to these poor souls – many alcohol and/or drug dependent or mentally unstable - to let them wander the streets than to police them up, clean them up, give them a bed, hot meal, clean clothes and professional help with their “situation.”

I do recall in the 70s a court decision somewhere telling state and local governments that they no longer could simply round up bums and put them in asylums. Fair enough. How about rounding them up, professionally evaluating them and putting them into mandatory programs appropriate for what is troubling them?

But in Philly it seems it’s better to spend tax payer money on gun propaganda (see post below) than to get the trash off the street or easy human suffering. But this is what Libs do. They harass law abiding citizens with idiotic bus ads while handing out condoms to the human wrecks lying in the street. That is their compassion. Weird huh.

The gun I buy may kill a criminal

While sightseeing around Philadelphia I saw several bus posters like the one pictured here. “The gun you buy for a criminal may kill my child.” That is absolute horse manure.

Problem number one is that the poster is sponsored by the State and City Attorney’s offices. Who the hell are these dopes to spend the people’s taxes to lecture anyone on gun rights in such an underhanded way? The ad doesn’t say, “Secure your firearms to prevent tragedy.” Or “With gun rights come responsibility, lock your weapons.”

The language chosen, by people who make a living using language, makes it sound as if any weapon you might purchase, for whatever reason, is ultimately being purchased for a criminal to kill someone’s child. Bull! These people know better but are hoping the B-HO crowd and other Lib public school grads can’t figure out what is going on here.

I have a handsome gun collection. I have not bought a single one of them FOR a criminal. I might someday use one of them on a criminal, but I haven’t bought them FOR criminals. The scheming attorney’s who put this ad together know how deceitful its language is but are betting little Johnny and Sally who learned everything there is to know about sex in the public schools in third grade won’t have a clue what’s being perpetrated upon them in this ad.

More on the mess in Philly tomorrow.

Edwards

Lex has an impromptu Scout outing today.

Just a word on John Edwards’ problems. I get no joy out of his predicament. I couldn’t think less of him after the news broke than I did before. What IS funny is that because the MSM sat on the news – something that never would have happened if Edwards had an R after his name – the Clintons feel like they were cheated out of the nomination.

There’s something poetic about that.

Reaping the "peace dividend" rewards

It’s a damn lucky thing we took advantage of that so-called “Peace Dividend” back in the 90s after the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union fell like grandpa trying to navigate the freshly waxed livingroom floor covered with the grandkids' marbles in his stocking feet. Had we not taken advantage of it then, cutting divisions, squadrons and ships, we never could have.

Now as we’re engaged in a multi-front worldwide war on terror, the Russians are marching through Georgia and we learn that they really aren’t our friends – who knew. In addition to that, the ChiComs are cheating at the Olympics. Commies cheating? Say it ain’t so Joe. Both of these situations require immediate military action. But alas, due to the “peace dividend” we’re forced to urge NATO to issue a strongly worded rebuke to Russia. That and a UN resolution ought to do the trick.

Apparently this whole thing has to do with an oil pipeline that runs from the Caspian Sea to through Georgia to the Mediterranean. (Is Nan' Pelosi aware that there's drilling going on in the Caspian Sea?) Would that make this a war for oil? No. I know this because I haven’t seen even one of those left wing loons protesting outside a Russian consulate with those incredibly clever posters of oil soaked hands choking some hapless victim. It has to be something else.

Ahh, NATO. That is the very NATO vacillating on what to do about Russia invading one of its democratic neighbors. Georgia, it seems wanted to strengthen it ties to west and was interested in a NATO membership. Russia saw this as a threat. They had it exactly backwards. They should have encouraged Georgia to enter NATO. With Georgia as a NATO member, Russia could have been assured that Georgia would never do one useful thing militarily.

Lessons learned from all of this:
- This may not be a “war for oil,” but war affects oil prices. We’d better wise up and get our own supply on line.
- You cannot trust a Commie – or even a former Commie.
- If you think we’ll have peace in our time, you’d better invest in a few more divisions, squadrons and ships to maintain that peace.

B-HO dope uber alles

Some Lib named Gerald Fisher had this letter published in the Daily Punctilio (AKA the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette) on Sunday. Lex fired a letter back to the DP. I ignored the low hanging fruit in Fisher’s piece – the idea that B-HO the dope who thinks hope is a substitute for policy has wisdom. Instead I zeroed in the pompous “’combat uber alles’” BS. To answer the idiocy that B-HO has wisdom would take 1,000s of words and you only get about 300 in a letter. Here’s the response:

It’s not a big surprise that CNN loving Libs want to credit success in Iraq, not to the heroism of American troops but rather to an “Iraqi awakening.” Does anyone else find it a bit too coincidental that “the awakening” didn’t take hold until AFTER “the few extra brigades” of Americans arrived in Iraq to believe that the surge wasn’t the main catalyst for the success?

But, that’s not the real problem with Fisher’s letter. The real problem is his total mischaracterization of John McCain. He refers to McCain as a “’combat uber alles’ – type.” Wow, that’s sophisticated – very international – and it makes the writer sound so smart. It also fits into Barack Obama’s appeal for Americans to learn another language – though oddly Obama doesn’t speak one himself, hmm. If only the “combat uber alles” shtick were true.

It isn’t. Fisher probably knows it’s not true. But then if his only information sources are CNN and Mother Jones, maybe Fisher IS ignorant of the fact that when McCain made his “100 years” comment on Iraq, he went on to say – “as long as Americans are not being injured wounded and killed.”

What a “combat uber alles” phony! How can you be a “’combat uber alles’ – type” and NOT be willing to have Americans injured wounded and killed?

Last, Fisher’s idea that “the Mideast’s socio-religious reality” will not support a long-term US effort to put that region on a path toward representative government and freedom sounds a little like racial profiling. What other groups around the world is Fisher willing to condemn to tyranny because of faith? It’s not the socio-religious reality in the Middle East that prevents freedom. Tyrannical, dictatorial and hereditary governments are the real problem in that region.

Oly and the dope

Two things have me fired up this morning:

Bush @ the Olympics
Whiners who whine about everything Bush does are whining about the president showing up in China for the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The crime isn’t Bush going to the opening ceremony, the crime is that the ceremony is in China, and that’s not Bush’s fault. If you’re pissed about Bush going to China, blame the International Olympic Committee for awarding the games to China in the first place.

Libs currently pushing socialism on us should look where Communism - Socialism's big brother -has gotten China. Libs who push PC speech on us should look where limiting - nay squashing - speech has gotten China. Libs who think that it’s America fouling the world’s air, should look at China. Libs who think religion has no place in government should look at where that kind of thinking has gotten China. Citizens for Separation of Church and State and dopes like Bill Mahr must be delighted with the Chinese government’s crack down on religious freedom.

I’ll be watching and rooting for our basketball team, men’s gymnastics team, boxing team and our guys and gals competing in those sports we only see once every four years. I wonder if citizen of the world B-HO will be pulling for the Americans. Or, is that the kind of thing only we bitter white people clinging to guns and religion do?

B-HO’s no hope moment
When asked by a child why he was running for president the dope with no hope came up with this:
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children.”

What a piece of human fecal material.

What it “once was?” Your buddies Wright, Sharpton and Jackson (as well as your affirmative action queen wife) have made livings bitching about what America once was and acting as if we haven't made one day's progress since 1787. And while we could always be better, we’re still pretty damned good compared to everyone else on the planet or for that matter everyone who EVER was on the planet.

Most of what’s wrong with America has been visited upon us by Libs:
- High taxes forcing both mom and dad to work outside the home
- Abortion forcing us to allow illegals to do the work dead babies won’t
- Liberal education forcing us to hire legal immigrants who can add and subtract
- Environmental whackos visiting 30 years of backward energy policies on the country
- Religion forced out of every public place to be replaced by postmodern relativism were every dopey idea is deemed to have the exact same worth

Screw you B-HO! America is still the place where everyone else wants to come. It’ll remain that way until dopes like you finally ruin her.

WAR! Huh, What is it good for?

Well it must have been a good a vacation. The proof is that our ten day vacation ran into 12 days.

We did a ten mile hike at Gettysburg as part of Lex jr.’s hiking merit badge requirement for Scouts. While we were hiking, we ran across a long haired dope smoking FM type. Consistent with the stereotype, he drove VW mini-van. We first met him at the Bloody Angle, the high water mark for the South during the Civil War. He made several comments indicating he was well read on the battle.

Later we ran into him at the base of little Round Top. We said our hellos. As I walked passed his van, I noticed the rear end was plastered with stickers. There was a “W, yer fired!” sticker and several other terribly clever liberal political think pieces like “Bush sucks.” There were two that literally cracked me up. One read “NO WAR!” The other said “Support the troops – Bring them home.”

So here’s some clueless lib dope touring the one of the bloodiest battlefields in American military history with a “NO WAR!” bumper sticker on the back of his mini-van. I was thinking I ought to ask him if the Civil War should have ever been fought in the first place. Or should we just have let the South secede from the union and allow slavery to go on for another hundred years? What about WWI & II? Should we have ever gotten involved in those?

With regard to the other sticker, I guess the dope hadn’t heard the B-HO would be sending any troops coming out of Iraq to Afghanistan for a surge there. So whenever you see one of those compelling “Support troops – Bring them home” stickers, think “Support the troops – Send them to Afghanistan.”

I also saw a young lady (18-20 years old) wearing a pink blouse with a huge peace symbol on it at George Washington’s headquarters at Valley Forge, and a little girl wearing a “Stand up for Peace” t-shirt on the Battleship New Jersey. I found the juxtaposition of the words and where they were being used stunning. I finally had to conclude that these were thoughtless dopes more interested in looking cool than thinking about the inconsistencies of their “Peace” messages and where they chose to display it.

Thinking it might make me look cool, I’m thinking about putting a “Save energy” sticker on the back of my giant SUV. That makes about as much sense.
