Poles, punks and parenthood

Even the Poles know
In a White House ceremony honoring, Jan Karski, a Polish WWII hero, (Is hero OK Mr./Ms. Hayes?) the White House’s chief occupant and dope, the P-BO confused a Nazi death camp located in Poland with a Polish death camp. One thing is certain. To borrow a phrase, lemme be clear, the P-BO, even after the difference is explained to him the third or fourth time, still would not have clue what the difference was. It was loaded into his talking machine so it must be right. And if it isn’t, it is correct after the P-BO says it. Right?

The Poles were not amused. Polish Foreign Minister tweeted the comment was an “outrage.” He went on with this truism for nearly everything associated with the P-BO: "It's a pity that such a dignified ceremony was overshadowed by ignorance and incompetence."

The new definition of the word “punk”
Remember not too far back when the P-BO was on his weeks long victory lap and spiking of the football over and over again - something the P-BO said America wouldn’t do - over the killing of bin Laden? Our courageous Commander and Chief quit a round of golf early to personally watch SEAL Team 6 execute the orders of what turns out to be Special Operations Command’s Adm McRaven. McRaven was given the responsibility for the operation so that the P-BO would have plausible deniability in the event something went wrong.

Anyway there was the P-BO in full battle gear flying the same black helicopter he flew on the mission and showing kids the very gun he used to dispatch bin Laden, spiking that football at fund every raiser that would have him. That’s an exaggeration of course but not much of an exaggeration. Let’s face it, the P-BO’s big contribution to the operation was to say the same thing even Ned the wino would have said from his command post under the E St. bridge, “Hell yes. Let’s kill the bastard.”

Now if running around like you’re some big hero for taking credit for the work of others isn’t being punk enough, turns out the Pakistani who fingered bin Laden had been arrested and was being tried for treason for telling US intell where bin Laden was. Dr. Shakil Afridi located bin Laden’s courier which in turn led to bin Laden’s hide out.

So while the P-BO was traveling around spiking the football as the guy who got bin Laden, the guy who really got bin Laden was on trail for his life. Instead of laying low until the heat was off Afridi and bringing diplomatic and economic pressure on the Pakistanis, the P-BO was calling attention to himself, Afridi and the deed he had so little to do with. In the process, the P-BO hung Afridi out to dry. And that is exactly what a punk would do.

Dumb and Dumber
Lex has noted several times that the differences between the two major political parties are pretty slim. The big difference is that one wants to drive the country over a 1,000 ft. cliff at 100 miles an hour. The other insists we slow down and go over the edge at a legally safe and reasonable speed of 60 mile per hour.  Sadly, at the end, we end up in the same fireball.

Case in point, NPR. Weren’t we going to insist on the de-funding of public radio and tv? Why are we still paying for the wholly owned subsidiary of the Demo-Dope party with tax payer money? How is that different than what unions do with member dues contributing exclusively to Demo-Dopes? The case for NPR was to insure a diversity of programming when there were only 3 tv stations. Now you can get 10,000 media outlets on your telephone. Oh, and for me, reason enough for de-funding NPR are the snobs who watch it – or say they watch it. A beer drinking washer throwing bud of mine once started a sentence with, “I was watching NPR last night…” I cut him off right there with a, “STFU and throw.”

Case in point, the UN. Weren’t we going to reign in the UN budget and insist on reforms? The place still looks like the Star Wars bar scene and acts like a bad episode of Family Guy where Stewie takes over the world.

Case in point, Planned Un-Parenthood. Why are fungible federal tax dollars supporting an organization that makes 10s maybe 100s of millions of dollars on abortion? Now it comes to light that Planned Un-Parenthood is engaging in a practice heretofore reserved for Godless commie bastards in China - sex specific abortion. Talk about a war on women. And it’s all funded by your tax $. Insane. I’m beginning to think that there is no bottom to the pit we’ve slipped into.  Maybe we've already gone over the edge of the cliff and are just anticipating the sudden stop.
