have happened in the last thirty years. &amp;nbsp;But&amp;nbsp;it&amp;nbsp;seems that the Republicans were traumatized by the two shutdown in FY 1995-96. &amp;nbsp;At one&amp;nbsp;point&amp;nbsp;some 800,000 Federal employees were furloughed. &amp;nbsp;The Clinton/Big Lie /Lame-stream&amp;nbsp;Media propaganda machine went into action and placed the blame on Republican'ts, and in particular House Speaker Gingrich. &amp;nbsp;Presidential candidate Gingrich is paying the price today for that confrontation between fiscally responsible Conservatives and&amp;nbsp;irresponsible&amp;nbsp;Liberal Socialists. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;

campaign against Gingrich and other conservative candidates that want to stand-up against the totalitarian Liberal-Socialists. &amp;nbsp; Each time that there's a possibility that there will be a government shutdown, the Republican't&amp;nbsp;establishment&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;

Obama a compromiser? &amp;nbsp;That's rich. &amp;nbsp;The Presidunce is so stubborn that he would rather deny 20,000 jobs that would be created by the &lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2011/12/15/canada_oil_pipeline_into_us_gets_extension_support/"&gt;Keystone pipeline&lt;/a&gt; from Canada&amp;nbsp;because he wants the payroll tax&amp;nbsp;moratorium&amp;nbsp;to continue without&amp;nbsp;pipeline&amp;nbsp;approval. &amp;nbsp;This boneheaded policy is cast in stone in&amp;nbsp;Obama's blockhead, even though it would benefit his union supporters. [Oh please, you Liberal-Socialist dolts, don't tell me how "smart" Obama is unless you're prepared to show us his &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;all&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;of college grades, law school grades, and any scholarly writings by him!] &amp;nbsp;It appears that the Eco-Nazis have more sway than the unions do with this crypto-Marxist. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u style="background-color: black;"&gt;B&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ut it would be foolish to expect the Republican'ts to fight for what's right&lt;span style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; They prefer the sick romanticism&amp;nbsp;of inglorious failure. &amp;nbsp;Pray that the Tea Party becomes a real political party before Obama assumes total control.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-679836980170688254?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/679836980170688254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/12/do-nothing-democrat-senate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/679836980170688254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/679836980170688254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/12/do-nothing-democrat-senate.html' title='THE &quot;DO NOTHING&quot; DEMOCRAT SENATE'/><author><name>Nick Nafta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13795738578215492592</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HtveQ_EPHJI/Sp3X0SmQZPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qd-vAQf6y48/S220/ape.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUnx37RpH1k/Tu-zVZd0X-I/AAAAAAAABoA/EJ7-S_9TjyU/s72-c/ItCan%2527tHappenHere.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668348714805221564.post-8509425664120903827</id><published>2011-12-16T11:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-19T10:06:37.144-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MISMANAGEMENT 101 or WELCOME to SAN DIEGO!

From all the local governments to the sports teams, mismanagement and incompetence are the names of the game. &amp;nbsp;The only outstanding constant in San Diego is the weather. &amp;nbsp;As comedian Lewis Black joked, "The easiest job in the world is being a weatherman in San Diego." &amp;nbsp;The punchline of his joke is when the news anchor asks the weatherman, "How's the weather?" &amp;nbsp;The weatherman replies, "Nice, back to you." &amp;nbsp;Yup, that's "America's Finest City" alright.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: blue;"&gt;T&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;his blog originates from the San (Scam) Diego area, and specifically Chula&amp;nbsp;Vista (Vicious).

Smith. &amp;nbsp;He is aided and abetted by the son of owner Alex Spanos: Team President, Dean Spanos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: blue;"&gt;I&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;n 2006, the team went 14-2, but lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. &amp;nbsp;So what did the team do? &amp;nbsp;It fired head coach Marty&amp;nbsp;Schottenheimer. &amp;nbsp;The ostensible reason was that&amp;nbsp;Schottenheimer&amp;nbsp;tried to hire&amp;nbsp;his son as an assistant coach. &amp;nbsp;The real reason as that A.J. Smith did not like (read hated)&amp;nbsp;Schottenheimer. &amp;nbsp;The two men could not coexist in the same room. &amp;nbsp;So A.J. went after a "yes man" and hired one of pro football's most mediocre coaches, Norv Turner. &amp;nbsp;Turner is an excellent&amp;nbsp;designer&amp;nbsp;of offensive&amp;nbsp;plays and is a very good offensive coordinator. &amp;nbsp;But as a &lt;a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/TurnNo0.htm"&gt;head coach&lt;/a&gt; he is&amp;nbsp;mediocre&amp;nbsp;at best. &amp;nbsp;During his tenure the Chargers have had two outstanding seasons and three so-so seasons--with arguably the best talent in the league. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: blue; color: orange; font-size: x-large;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;his year there is talk of &lt;a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Norv-Turner-almost-certainly-gone-in-San-Diego-?urn=nfl-wp13056"&gt;firing both Turner and Smith&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Especially when you consider that quality players like QB Drew Brees and Darren Sproles were&amp;nbsp;let go&amp;nbsp;without&amp;nbsp;receiving anything in return. &amp;nbsp;The drafts with the exception of 2004 &amp;nbsp;Draft, which produced Philip Rivers, Shawn Merriman, and others, have been busts. &amp;nbsp;There's not enough room to list the players that the Chargers have let go without getting much value in return that also have ended up getting Super Bowl rings (Rodney Harrison or Lance Alworth). &amp;nbsp;Call it the "Jack Kemp curse." &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.profootballresearchers.org/Coffin_Corner/22-03-853.pdf"&gt;Kemp was picked up by the Buffalo Bills in 1962 for a $100 waiver fee&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Kemp led the Bills to two consecutive AFL Championships in the mid-1960s. &amp;nbsp;Looking at the success of players like running back Michael Turner in Atlanta and and Wes Welker in New England it's clear that the Chargers are becoming the best developmental team in the NFL--just like their colleagues the San Diego Padres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="clear: left;

font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: blue;"&gt;T&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;he Padres are noteworthy for being the best developmental team in Major League Baseball and for bad timing in their only two World Series appearances against super teams like the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_New_York_Yankees_season"&gt;1998 New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Detroit_Tigers_season"&gt;1984 Detroit Tigers&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;For the most part, the Padres as a small market team has accomplished much via smoke and mirrors and good major league managers Bruce Bochy and Jack McKeon. &amp;nbsp;With exception of 1998, when the Padres spent money to rent elite level players like pitcher Kevin &amp;nbsp;Brown, the Padres attempt to win with&amp;nbsp;retreads and players past their prime. &amp;nbsp;They traded good young&amp;nbsp;players Jason Bay and Oliver Perez for a power hitter, Brian Giles on the downside of his career. &amp;nbsp;Giles turned out to be a solid singles hitter and drew a lot of walks. &amp;nbsp;But he was never the &lt;a href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/3382/brian-giles"&gt;home run hitter&lt;/a&gt; he was at Pittsburgh. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: blue;"&gt;B&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;ruce Bochy was reviled by the local fans&amp;nbsp;for making bone head managerial decisions. &amp;nbsp;The truth was that he was hampered by a cheap skate general&amp;nbsp;management&amp;nbsp;that paid "sunshine dollars" to aging players like pitcher Fernando Valenzuela. &amp;nbsp;Within two years &amp;nbsp;after he left San Diego (or was invited to look for another job) Bochy managed the San Francisco Giants to a World Series Championship. &amp;nbsp;The trade of homeboy and fan favorite Adrian Gonzalez to the talent rich Boston Red Sox (Bosox) for &lt;a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/news/story?id=5887824"&gt;some prospects&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;did not sit well with Padre fans. &amp;nbsp;The trade was engineered by former Bosox underling/Padre GM Jed Hoyer (&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_2106496878"&gt;now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/7156063/jed-hoyer-path-chicago-cubs-general-manager-swift-unconventional"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Chicago Cubs GM&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;nbsp;to former Bosox GM Theo Epstein (&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_2106496882"&gt;now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/7147573/chicago-cubs-introduce-theo-epstein-president-baseball-operations"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations&lt;/a&gt;). &amp;nbsp;Crony baseballism--ya think? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The latest act inspiring fan anger and future Fan apathy is letting &lt;a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/12/06/2533108/miami-marlins-introduce-new-closer.html"&gt;All Star reliever Heath Bell sign with the Miami Marlins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: left;

Unfortunately, good weather doesn't pay the bills or draw cash strapped people to the ballpark. &amp;nbsp;The Padres are simply not willing to put out a good product by paying free agents competitively or by retaining good young ball&amp;nbsp;players. &amp;nbsp;But it's also a vicious circle because local San Diego employers are unwilling to pay their employees competitive wages. &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;Because the good weather in San Diego is payment enough for living here, &lt;i&gt;i.e.&lt;/i&gt;, "sunshine dollars."&amp;nbsp; That leaves little discretionary income for expensive diversions like Major League Baseball or NFL games.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;* &amp;nbsp;

But, although Obama wants to give Islamo-Fascist enemy combatants Miranda warnings, he thinks of outright assassination or overthrow of secular Muslim dictators when it serves his weak willed&amp;nbsp;purposes.&amp;nbsp; The assassination&amp;nbsp;deaths of&amp;nbsp;Anwar al-Awlaki and Muammar Qaddafi are testament to the desperation of a true wimp in need of a backbone.&amp;nbsp; As a result of Obama's wimp factor, we are also finding out that the Libyan rebels, which Obama's diplomatic henchmen and hench&lt;u&gt;women&lt;/u&gt;

But the process that led to Awlaki's killing has drawn fierce criticism from both the political left and right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;But as mentioned&amp;nbsp;above, we still don't know Obama's true role in this "death panel" by arbitrary decree. &amp;nbsp;It gets worse when you wonder how far our "man of action"&amp;nbsp;might be&amp;nbsp;willing to go to show that he's a "tough guy" in order to be re-elected.&amp;nbsp; There's also no indication of any due process afforded to these potential enemies of the state--even if they are American &amp;nbsp;citizens.&amp;nbsp; This is from the Administration that wants to give &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mirandawarning.org/historyofmirandawarning.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Miranda rights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt; to enemy combatants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;ut political assassination is&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;an unspoken of taboo in American politics.&amp;nbsp; But when it happens usually it doesn't involve an American citizen, except for perhaps the mysterious death of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,947393,00.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;American actress Jean Seberg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;, who it seemed offended FBI Director J.

T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;here was no real uproar when under JFK's watch,&amp;nbsp;President &lt;a href="http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB101/index.htm"&gt;Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated&lt;/a&gt; on&amp;nbsp;November 1, 1963, following a coup in South Vietnam.&amp;nbsp; Ironically or coincidentally if you prefer, JFK was assassinated&amp;nbsp;21 days later in Dallas, Texas.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Richard Nixon caught hell, as he did for merely breathing,&amp;nbsp;for the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon"&gt;assassination of Chilean President Salvador Allende&lt;/a&gt;, although the leftists&amp;nbsp;couldn't definitively show American involvement in Allende's death.&amp;nbsp;

playing romantic peekaboo games with numerous suitors in the opening scene of &lt;em&gt;Gone With the Wind&lt;/em&gt; (GWTW), there's something creepy&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;about&amp;nbsp;Chris Christie&amp;nbsp;playing&amp;nbsp;a coy courtesan&amp;nbsp;as he flirts with running for President.&amp;nbsp; At least with Scarlett, there was a definite strategy in playing one suitor against another.&amp;nbsp; She could land a wealthy husband and nobody&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;got hurt, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;no taxpayers were harmed in the making of GWTW.&amp;nbsp; But Christie's&amp;nbsp;political-eye-batting-come-on seems downright&amp;nbsp;narcissistic and indecisive.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;His umpteenth denial that he's running will come at a press conference today.&amp;nbsp; The last thing we should want in a President is an indecisive narcissist.&amp;nbsp; Why you might ask?&amp;nbsp; We've been there, done that, and don't want to do it again in 2012.&amp;nbsp; But at least&amp;nbsp;Christie isn't wearing Mom Jeans as he flirts shamelessly with &lt;a href="http://www.keprtv.com/news/national/130974158.html"&gt;party elders and big time GOP donors&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Way back when Presidents didn't regularly "dis" the country, my&amp;nbsp;Dad worked with a retired Navy man from Alabama.&amp;nbsp;"The Captain" as he was known,&amp;nbsp;was a crafty marketing guy that used to describe&amp;nbsp;upcoming "&lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dog+and+pony+show?show=0&amp;amp;t=1317743298"&gt;dog and pony shows&lt;/a&gt;" to potential customers&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;as an opportunity "to open up the kimono and tantalize them a bit!"&amp;nbsp; "The&amp;nbsp;Captain"&amp;nbsp;knew a little bit about&amp;nbsp;skillful salesmanship.&amp;nbsp; This is&amp;nbsp;not the case&amp;nbsp;with Chris Christie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;he usual reason given for the intense interest in Christie&lt;/span&gt; is that the current GOP Presidential field is weak.&amp;nbsp; Query: As compared to &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt;?&amp;nbsp; Obama has become in two and one half&amp;nbsp;insufferable years the &lt;em&gt;worst&lt;/em&gt; President &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;ever&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The previous holder of the title, Jimmy Carter looks downright statesmanlike in comparison, but not quite enough to erect&amp;nbsp;billboards saying "Miss me?"&amp;nbsp; Funny thing, but the only people that seem to be disappointed in the Republican field are the leftist pundits and water carriers for Barack Hussein Obama.&amp;nbsp; Personally, I like this field because &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;all&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; of them&amp;nbsp;are far more capable than Obama. &amp;nbsp;Even the eccentric Ron Paul has his merits.&amp;nbsp; In the GOP primary process, it may turn out that while you might not vote for a particular candidate for President, a lot of them would make strong cabinet members, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp; a good management team.&amp;nbsp; I could easily see Michele Bachmann as Commissioner of the IRS. &amp;nbsp;Herman Cain would make a good Secretary of Commerce. Mitt Romney would make either a good Secretary of the Treasury or&amp;nbsp;better yet, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There's a lot of common sense in the GOP field.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But&amp;nbsp;more importantly,&amp;nbsp;there's experience that goes beyond the posting of handbills on telephone poles announcing a community gripe session.&amp;nbsp; Unlike the current occupant&amp;nbsp;of the White House, all of these current candidates also have solid records of regularly showing up for work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;e can't say&amp;nbsp;that we've got a good management team&amp;nbsp;in Obama, his VP Biden,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;or his Cabinet.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Vice-President Joe Biden is, to paraphrase former VP John&amp;nbsp;Nance Garner's comment about the Vice-Presidency,&amp;nbsp;"&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nance_Garner#cite_note-1"&gt;...not worth a bucket of warm spit.&lt;/a&gt;" (According to Sydney Blumenthal, as cited in &lt;em&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/em&gt;, Garner actually said "&lt;a href="http://politics.salon.com/2007/06/28/cheney_170/"&gt;warm piss&lt;/a&gt;."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;That sounds more like what a hard core Texan like Garner would have said.&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It's also a&amp;nbsp;cruel cosmic joke to have tax cheat Tim Geithner running the Treasury department, which by the way, includes the IRS.&amp;nbsp; At least two of&amp;nbsp;Obama's appointees are ardent admirers of mass murderer Mao Zedong.&amp;nbsp; Eric Holder is a&amp;nbsp;joke as the U.S. Attorney General, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, Holder is to the law what woodpeckers are to carpentry.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He should be immediately&amp;nbsp;sent away to some backwoods hollow&amp;nbsp;to be a Judge Roy Bean-like dispenser of injustice.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ut is Christie the answer to&amp;nbsp;our current national malaise?&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Well, until Christie shows a little more than what's inside&amp;nbsp;his&amp;nbsp;slightly open kimono, (I know it's bad optics), we'll just have to let the process play itself out.&amp;nbsp; Let's&amp;nbsp;also hope that the Democrats and the Main Stream Media&amp;nbsp;presstitutes won't be picking&amp;nbsp;a GOP&amp;nbsp;caninedate in 2012,&amp;nbsp;just&amp;nbsp;as they did in 1996 and 2008.&amp;nbsp; We'll see today&amp;nbsp;at &lt;a href="http://livingston.patch.com/articles/will-christie-run-well-know-today"&gt;Christie's press conference at 1 p.m., EDT&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;whether or not he'll be running for "Best in Show" in 2012.&amp;nbsp; But don't think that this flirtation is over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-2552285639560753603?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/2552285639560753603/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/10/chris-christie-reconsiders-or-chris.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/2552285639560753603'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/2552285639560753603'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/10/chris-christie-reconsiders-or-chris.html' title='CHRIS CHRISTIE RECONSIDERS or CHRIS CHRISTIE REDUX--AGAIN!'/><author><name>Nick Nafta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13795738578215492592</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HtveQ_EPHJI/Sp3X0SmQZPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qd-vAQf6y48/S220/ape.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668348714805221564.post-8136201999917124466</id><published>2011-09-29T12:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T15:42:01.456-07:00</updated><title type='text'>TAKE CHRISTIE AT HIS WORD...

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;fter sitting through several hiring committees that chose a candidate primarily because&amp;nbsp;s/he had good interview skills, I can tell you that &lt;u&gt;ALL&lt;/u&gt; of them turned out to be either mediocre or poor employees.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Yes, I know that&amp;nbsp;my evidence is&amp;nbsp;purely anecdotal.&amp;nbsp; But like the old &lt;em&gt;New Yorker&lt;/em&gt; cartoon showing a judge whispering to another judge, "Sure it's hearsay, but it's damn good hearsay," my damn good anecdote evokes red flags whenever a&amp;nbsp;fancy talker is trying to sell me something.&amp;nbsp; Rejecting any candidate with an otherwise good record of  accomplishment &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;solely&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; because s/he doesn't produce good sound bites or looks great in debates is silly.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;a href="http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Claudius"&gt;Roman Emperor Claudius&lt;/a&gt; was considered a doofus because among other things&amp;nbsp;he didn't speak well.&amp;nbsp; He turned out to be one of the best Emperors that ever ruled the Roman Empire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;hristie is long on good soundbites, but short on accomplishments.&amp;nbsp; Unlike Republican Governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin, John Kasich of Ohio, and even closet RINO Mitch Daniels of Indiana; Christie&amp;nbsp;hasn't been Governor of New Jersey long enough &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0211/49471.html"&gt;to show that he's as good as Ann Coulter thinks he is&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Those other&amp;nbsp;governors are compiling&amp;nbsp;records of accomplishment.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Meanwhile, Texas Governor&amp;nbsp;Rick Perry, a mediocre debater&amp;nbsp;with  a solid record of accomplishment,&amp;nbsp;is being crucified by Michele Bachmann, the politically inert Rick Santorum, and Mit "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Flanders"&gt;Ned Flanders&lt;/a&gt;" Romney.&amp;nbsp; Shouldn't they be putting forth &lt;em&gt;their&lt;/em&gt; own ideas instead&amp;nbsp;putting down a fellow Republican?&amp;nbsp; Or are they working to help re-elect Obama by giving his campaign jackals good soundbites to use in his commercials?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Epilogue&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; fancy talker is not necessarily the one for the job.&amp;nbsp; Read the resume, but trust and verify before you make that hire.&amp;nbsp; Four years can be a long time with the wrong President.&amp;nbsp; Think about what those fancy words "hope and change" have brought you&amp;nbsp;before you hire the next President.&lt;/span&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-8136201999917124466?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/8136201999917124466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-christie-at-his-word-hes-not-ready.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/8136201999917124466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/8136201999917124466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-christie-at-his-word-hes-not-ready.html' title='TAKE CHRISTIE AT HIS WORD...

But this time Presidunce Obama has an&amp;nbsp;acolyte Lapdog media that will take advantage of this catastrophe for political hay, i.e.,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;never&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; let a "good crisis" go to waste.&amp;nbsp; The Lapdogs&amp;nbsp;will try to establish that he is in complete command or at least his pre-recorded teleprompter is.&amp;nbsp; They will make comparisons as to how the Bush Administration mishandled Katrina vs. Obama's&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;response.&amp;nbsp; But Obama's warning &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq0s0GTgjoM"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;about Hurricane Irene differs little from what Bush &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17hjO8vfigg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;said&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;about Hurricane Katrina.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Moreover,&amp;nbsp;the Gulf population was warned five days in advance about&amp;nbsp;Katrina.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Obama's afterthought message&amp;nbsp;comes after days of golf by him and on the same day as the touchdown in North Carolina.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;he &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;big&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; difference in 2011, is that state officials along the Eastern Seaboard,&amp;nbsp;that are &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; for the handling of such natural disasters have taken&amp;nbsp;pro-active actions&amp;nbsp;on their own without relying on the Federal government for their cues.&amp;nbsp; Mayor Bloomberg of New York City&amp;nbsp;and Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey have shut down their jurisdictions in response to the potential disaster.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ontrast that with the "sit on their hands" approach by then-Louisiana Governor Blanco and then-New&amp;nbsp;Orleans Mayor Nagin.&amp;nbsp; It is the contention of this blogger that they were under the &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;direct&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; orders of the DNC to &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;withhold any cooperation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; with the Bush Administration.&amp;nbsp; The Lapdog Media then spun Katrina as a failure of competence by the Bush Administration.&amp;nbsp; Thus Katrina&amp;nbsp;became a propaganda&amp;nbsp;tool for the Democrats.&amp;nbsp; Too bad that people died while the Liberal Lapdog Media lied.&amp;nbsp; But then what would you expect from a bunch that believes in genocide via abortion.&amp;nbsp; Life is cheap to these people.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The suffering of&amp;nbsp;ordinary people means &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;nothing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; to these Liberal-Fascist plutocrats.&amp;nbsp;

An angry Obama spins around and shouts in her face: "Can't you see I'm winning!"

The big winners out of the&amp;nbsp;Iowa&amp;nbsp;caucus are Rick Perry and home girl Michele Bachmann. Perry, the new kid on the block, is attracting attention because one third of the jobs created in the United States in the last few years were created in the state of Texas.&amp;nbsp; Almost immediately, the Obama administration claimed credit for the job creation by saying that federal government military spending and the stimulus were responsible for the new jobs in Texas.&amp;nbsp; The bottom line is however, is that Perry and Bachmann are now being vetted by the &lt;em&gt;Presstitutes&lt;/em&gt; (thanks Rush) in a way that should have been done to Obama in 2008.&amp;nbsp; That we still don't know anything about Obama is a scary thing given that a President of the United States has the power to destroy the entire world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;_________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ecently,&amp;nbsp;Barack Hussein Obama said that there were not as many shovel ready jobs as&amp;nbsp;he originally thought with regard to the stimulus package that was supposed to keep unemployment under eight percent.&amp;nbsp; (Now there's a funny thought, Obama with an &lt;em&gt;original&lt;/em&gt; thought.)&amp;nbsp; Gee, so which is it Barry?&amp;nbsp; Were there any shovel ready jobs or weren't there any shovel ready jobs?&amp;nbsp; Your minions are claiming that military spending is good because it helped&amp;nbsp;you fix the economy, but in the same breath they also assert that we should make drastic cuts in the military budget anyway. Your crack staff also claims that the oil and gas industry was unleashed by Obama and that the Texas economic boom had nothing to do with anything that Governor Rick Perry did during his ten-year tenure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ut I guess it's kind of the same thing as saying that Bill Clinton had nothing to do with prosperity in the 1990s, because Clinton didn't have anything to do with information technology boom.&amp;nbsp; The only distinction between Perry and Clinton is that Perry is pro-business unlike the tax and spend Liberal Fascist Bill Clinton.&amp;nbsp; But Liberals are always allowed to falsely claim credit for things that they don't accomplish.&amp;nbsp; Bill Clinton claimed to be bonafide Rhodes scholar, but flunked out of Oxford.&amp;nbsp; Obama is supposed to be the smartest guy to ever be President, but he hides his&amp;nbsp;marks from grade school on up. Is that the logical act of a smart guy?&amp;nbsp; You'd think they'd publicize the smart man's grades.&amp;nbsp; But maybe they're bluffing about his brain power or maybe he flunked coloring book and sandbox in the first grade?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;H&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ey Barry, Does your staff's plugged ears ever hear what their collective mouths are saying? We don't have to ask about absence of of a thinking process. There is none amongst these Ivy League degreed geniuses. Is it 2012 yet?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Doubling Down on Incompetence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;resh off the triumph of "killing" Bin Laden comes the news that the Pakistanis, which Obama and his crack team of foreign policy experts have berated and offended; have given the Communist Chinese access to an American helicopter used in the Bin Laden operation. The sad thing is that the Reds now have a method to reverse engineer the stealth technology that was the exclusive&amp;nbsp;domain of the United States. &amp;nbsp;Even when this guy does something right he still screws up. Is it 2012 yet?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Sniper Fire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;hroughout this whole budget/debt ceiling crisis Democrats have come up with bupkis with any spending plan except for more tax and spend. No approved Federal budget for nearly three years from Senate Democrats.&amp;nbsp;Democrats have offered no serious debt reduction plan at all and yet the Presidunce acts as if he's tried to offer a compromise. He's done nothing but whine like a spoiled little girl. Still nothing from these crooked bastards. We need to cut the cancer that is the Democrat party from the body politic.&amp;nbsp; Is it 2012 yet? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both;

If they're Tom Daschle or Harry Reid they adopt effete&amp;nbsp;mannerisms and speech so that they will--in their feeble mindsets--not offend women voters.&amp;nbsp; If they are Bill Clinton, Gary Hart, Anthony Weiner, Elliot Spitzer, or Teddy Kennedy&amp;nbsp;they become womanizers because of their deep seated contempt for women in general.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #999999;

This time his faith in those&amp;nbsp;factors are gravely misplaced.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This is not 2008.

font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;t's been two and a half years, but it's still unbelievable that such an inexperienced, incompetent and largely unknown man was elected to be the&amp;nbsp;President of the United States of America.&amp;nbsp; This is being posted on the eve of the 37th anniversary of the resignation of the "evil" Richard Nixon--a man that had moments of brilliance and very low moments during his Presidential tenure.&amp;nbsp; Taking a page from Liberal Fascist&amp;nbsp;pig &lt;a href="http://www.moral-relativism.com/"&gt;moral relativsim&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;Nixon's "crimes"&amp;nbsp;appear&amp;nbsp;minor in comparison with this corrupt gangster's high crimes and misdemeanors.&amp;nbsp;There's nothing worse than a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood"&gt;Robin Hood&lt;/a&gt; that turns out to be a Robin Hoodlum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;here have been several examples of men that were not quite up to the job of being the President.&amp;nbsp; The most recent example was Jimmy Carter.&amp;nbsp; But like the proverbial broken&amp;nbsp;clock that is right twice a day, Carter was right&amp;nbsp;when he&amp;nbsp;selected Paul Volcker to head the Federal Reserve.&amp;nbsp; Volcker administered some harsh economic medicine, which probably helped to defeat Carter in the 1980 Presidential election.&amp;nbsp; But the country's best interests were served through this appointment by laying the foundation for the Reagan Revolution in which tax cuts paved the way for nearly two decades of uninterrupted prosperity.&amp;nbsp; In retrospect, Carter's appointment in the late 1970s of such a harsh economic taskmaster as Volcker was seemingly self-sacrificing.&amp;nbsp; There's no such self-sacrifice with&amp;nbsp;Obama the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;prima donna&lt;/em&gt; do nothing--he's into partying and enjoying the "perks" of the job without the responsibilities.&amp;nbsp; Gone are the days when you were fairly certain that your President would, to paraphrase Spike Lee, &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097216/"&gt;do the right thing&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ontrast&amp;nbsp;Carter's duty to country&amp;nbsp;with the adolescent unpatriotic whining of Barack Obama and his legion of defenders.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When&amp;nbsp;he and his mind-numbed Obamabots&amp;nbsp;try to excuse&amp;nbsp;his shortcomings, it is always because it is either someone&amp;nbsp;else's fault or that he's the victim of prejudice against Blacks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But it was a liberal blogger that first used the term "&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,3391015.story"&gt;Barack the&amp;nbsp; Magic Negro&lt;/a&gt;" and &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;rlz=1T4SNCA_enUS370US370&amp;amp;q=Barack+the+Magic+Negro"&gt;not Rush Limbaugh as the lying Liberal Fascist&amp;nbsp;pigs have tried to assert&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It was David Ehrenstein in his L.A. Times opinion piece that called Obama the "Magic Negro."&amp;nbsp; Ehrenstein is an American film critic of Jewish and Black heritage that writes primarily about homosexuality in&amp;nbsp;film.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The "tag line" in his opinion piece was that, "&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,3391015.story"&gt;The Illinois senator [Obama] lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp; Eherenstein is correct in noting that Obama appeals to white elitists. They almost always have Ivy League credentials.&amp;nbsp; Moreover, there is also the&amp;nbsp;issue of having &lt;a href="http://www.hinterlandgazette.com/2008/06/sclc-head-charles-steele-jr-says.html"&gt;slave blood&lt;/a&gt; as a qualifier to assert one's "Blackness" that was brought up by the President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Charles Steele Jr.&amp;nbsp; Heaven help any non-black that would have brought up that&amp;nbsp;argument in 2008!&amp;nbsp; But&amp;nbsp;Liberal-Fascist&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0275297/bio"&gt;step 'n' fechits&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;like the multiloquent Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) will always &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRyqOg709fw"&gt;cry racism&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;even when&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Obama is being criticized &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;solely&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/em&gt;on policy grounds for promoting the white Liberal Fascist Plutocrats' agenda.&amp;nbsp; She doesn't realize that she is providing cover for Liberal-Fascist white plutocrats like the Kennedys and Warren Buffett.&amp;nbsp; What a foolish woman.&amp;nbsp; But then Obama delivered a eulogy at Robert "KKK" Byrd's funeral.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Never forget that the &lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/mzak/2010/07/16/the-ku-klux-klan-terrorist-wing-of-the-democratic-party/"&gt;Ku Klux Klan was a political/terrorist arm of the Democrat party.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Also note that Democrat icon &lt;a href="http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/john_kennedy_and_civil_rights.htm"&gt;JFK voted against&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;a href="http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/research/digital_documents/Civil_Rights_Civil_Rights_Act/CivilRightsActfiles.html"&gt;1957 Civil Rights Act&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;That might make for an interesting Black History Month presentation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;f course we're all familiar with the classic refrain, "It's Bush's fault!"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Add to that old chestnut the new Liberal Socialist pig&amp;nbsp;refrain, "It's the Tea Party's fault for the S&amp;amp;P credit downgrade!"&amp;nbsp; Oh no, it couldn't have been&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;$4 trillion pissed away by this spendthrift adolescent the last two and one half years.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Yet, Obama blames &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;everything&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; on the "mess" that he inherited from the evil "W"!&amp;nbsp; But it wasn't fate as Barack the Boy&amp;nbsp;Blunder would have you believe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Like a Colossus; and we petty men&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Walk under his huge legs, and peep about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;To find ourselves dishonourable graves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Men at some time are masters of their fates:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;But in ourselves, that we are underlings. &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shakespeare-online.com/quotes/juliusquotes.html"&gt;Julius Caesar (1.2.135)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Had he truly&amp;nbsp;earned&amp;nbsp;the sterling&amp;nbsp;university and law school grades that he and his handlers claim that he earned, but&amp;nbsp;now furtively hide, Obama might have learned something about the fatal flaws&amp;nbsp;of arrogance, pride, and about the sacredness of the U.S. Constitution.&amp;nbsp; Yet, two and a half years into his Presidency and&amp;nbsp;Obama still blames everyone else for his mistakes; like the lack of "&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lq36zFN0fc&amp;amp;NR=1"&gt;shovel ready jobs&lt;/a&gt;" after he pissed away $800 billion plus on money that was used to save public sector union jobs.&amp;nbsp; In other words, it was a money laundering scheme to ensure that part of the union dues paid would be contributed to the Democrook party.&amp;nbsp; After gifts of American public corporations to corrupt unions,&amp;nbsp;the use of&amp;nbsp;bribery to pass unwanted health legislation, and an&amp;nbsp;illegal war in Libya; why&amp;nbsp;he&amp;nbsp;hasn't been impeached is one of the great mysteries of this very young century.&amp;nbsp; Nixon would have a true grievance were he alive today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-3666531621761916324?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/3666531621761916324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/08/clear-and-present-danger.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/3666531621761916324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/3666531621761916324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/08/clear-and-present-danger.html' title='A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER'/><author><name>Nick Nafta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13795738578215492592</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HtveQ_EPHJI/Sp3X0SmQZPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qd-vAQf6y48/S220/ape.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668348714805221564.post-2834255265198347689</id><published>2011-07-28T13:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-28T13:37:30.936-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DON'T BUY A PIG IN POKE--NO MORE ACCEPTANCE OF ILLUSORY PROMISES FROM DEMOCRATS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In exchange for an immediate&amp;nbsp;$900 billion raise in the debt ceiling, there is&amp;nbsp;a promise by the Democrooks to reduce the debt by $850 Billion over 10 years.&amp;nbsp; (This is subject to pending revisions by Boehner to meet Congressional&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Budget Office criticisms.)&amp;nbsp; For a "quick and dirty" summary of the Boehner bill go &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://keithhennessey.com/2011/07/27/quick-summary-of-the-boehner-bill/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;

Take a chance Republicans.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's doubtful that the major credit agencies will downgrade the U.S. credit rating on August 2.&amp;nbsp; Too many&amp;nbsp;nations&amp;nbsp;are holding a bag&amp;nbsp;U.S. financial paper.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;No one wants a worldwide financial disaster over&amp;nbsp;the Adolescent-in-Chief's&amp;nbsp;bluff and irresponsibilty.&amp;nbsp;

football players and team owners were, until yesterday, haggling over the split of the $9 billion in revenue that the NFL generates annually.&amp;nbsp; To the average unemployed individual it seemed to be&amp;nbsp;a rather&amp;nbsp;petty dispute between callous millionaires and billionaires.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;n San Diego, the wealthy Spanos family is still trying to find a way to have the taxpayers subsidize a new stadium with taxpayer cash and city land&amp;nbsp;for their Chargers business.&amp;nbsp; Their quest has been made more difficult by Governor Jerry "Retread" Brown's impound of all local community redevelopment funds to help satisfy&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;Sacramento's insatiable appetite for spending.&amp;nbsp; Unless an owner builds&amp;nbsp;his or her own stadium or the team is located in a prosperous state like Texas, it will be at least ten years before any sports&amp;nbsp;stadium is financed with public funds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;ll this brings to mind the real purpose of local government, which is to provide basic municipal services like streets, fire protection, police, and infrastructure.&amp;nbsp; Local governments are &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;venture capital banks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Few politicians&amp;nbsp;have the requisite&amp;nbsp;skills to run a simple lemonade stand&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;And truth be told, most politicians have no real marketable job skills.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Elective office is often the best job that&amp;nbsp;most of them&amp;nbsp;will ever have.&amp;nbsp; And the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;NFL owners&amp;nbsp;are just another bunch&amp;nbsp;of potential campaign contributors that,&amp;nbsp;with&amp;nbsp;a well placed&amp;nbsp;contribution might benefit financially using other people's money, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, taxpayer money.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; loved the game when it was common for players to take "real jobs" in the off season.&amp;nbsp; That was in the Golden Age of Pro Football in the 1960s.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A couple of&amp;nbsp;players worked at the&amp;nbsp;department store where I worked at as a sales clerk forty years ago.&amp;nbsp; Other players sold cars, insurance, houses or worked at banks.&amp;nbsp; They were for the most part regular guys&amp;nbsp;and not the &lt;em&gt;prima donnas&lt;/em&gt; of today's game. &amp;nbsp;The game lost its luster for me when the NFL reinstated Michael Vick, dog torturer and gambling ring impresario.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;N&lt;/span&gt;obody denies that Michael Vick has a right to make a living, but there are some misdeeds that should foreclose&amp;nbsp;one from making a living in certain professions.&amp;nbsp; Thieves rarely get to work at banks or any job that requires honesty.&amp;nbsp; The animal cruelty aside, running a gambling ring&amp;nbsp;should be evidence of a character flaw&amp;nbsp;that is incompatible with the so-called integrity of the NFL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;

don't know about you, but the idea of spending millions of taxpayer dollars on groups like Planned (Genocide) Parenthood, ACORN, Hamas, and SEIU irks me.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrHYKdcIwfw"&gt;new mission of NASA&lt;/a&gt; to make Muslims feel good about themselves is yet&amp;nbsp;another colossal waste of taxpayer money.&amp;nbsp; The Non-Stimulus package with its phantom "shovel ready jobs" turned out to be a money laundering scheme to save public employee union jobs so that those unions could turn over member dues as campaign contributions to the Democrat Party.&amp;nbsp; So where's the loyal opposition?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;s I've said before, you cannot trust Republicans to do the right thing or &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;anything&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; for that matter.&amp;nbsp; I don't know what they do with all that money that they raise from fundraising events and those obnoxious mailers that they continue to send me.&amp;nbsp; They seem to spend it at&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;boobie bars ogling pole dancers.&amp;nbsp; About 15 years ago, I used to send $45 every two weeks to the GOP National Committee.&amp;nbsp; I stopped sending money when they failed to respond to a parsed 1995 DNC ad claiming that Gingrich said he wanted the Medicare bureaucracy&amp;nbsp;to die on the vine.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; watched for eight years while George W. Bush allowed himself to be politically bitch slapped by&amp;nbsp;namby-pamby Democrat critics like Senate Majority Leader&amp;nbsp;Harry Reid.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Bush took the "high road" for seven years,&amp;nbsp;eleven months, and three weeks.&amp;nbsp; Bush finally defended himself weakly in the last week of his Presidency.&amp;nbsp; It was way too little and way too late.&amp;nbsp; He was brutally mocked as he took off on Marine One&amp;nbsp;into retirement by the highly civil leftists.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;N&lt;/span&gt;ow there's the so-called "Gangrene of Six" with their latest "Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown" trick.&amp;nbsp; Promises to cut spending in the future by the Democrats will never happen.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Republidorks will the illusory promise trade in exchange for more walking around money for the Democrats to pass around to their crony corporatists and illegal voting base.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; RICO criminal charges anyone?&amp;nbsp; Oh right, Eric Holder--the most corrupt, incompetent, partisan&amp;nbsp;Attorney General since Ramsey Clark--is running the show.&amp;nbsp; Unless you're a racist Black Panther forget about getting any justice.&amp;nbsp; Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;ut, Cap, and Balance has passed the House.&amp;nbsp; Republican Senate "leaders"&amp;nbsp;should be demanding a Senate vote and let Senate Democrats go on the record&amp;nbsp;as being for the fiscal destruction of the United States.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But they won't.&amp;nbsp; They're cowards; and because of&amp;nbsp;their cowardice&amp;nbsp;it may be&amp;nbsp;time&amp;nbsp;to declare the death of the Republican Party and eventually,&amp;nbsp;the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;hat the country wants are budgets cuts now and&amp;nbsp;not ten years from now.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

They're at again. &amp;nbsp;In&amp;nbsp;last Wednesday's episode, the part time President and full time adolescent threw a &lt;a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/hissy-fit.html"&gt;hissy fit&lt;/a&gt; and walked out of the debt ceiling meeting after warning Republican Representative Eric Cantor, "Don't call my bluff Eric, I'm taking this to American people."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Thus spake&amp;nbsp;Pharaoh Barack.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;eanwhile, Senator "Mitch the Pitch" McConnell suggested a &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/13/us/politics/13fiscal.html"&gt;compromise&lt;/a&gt; that would give the Pharaoh almost complete control over spending by allowing&amp;nbsp;the Pharaoh to raise the government’s borrowing limit without&amp;nbsp;prior approval of any offsetting cuts in spending by Congress.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;(The pain of the blame for a government shutdown remains engrained in the minds of many skittish establishment Republicans.)&amp;nbsp; But many Republicans and Constitutionalists have rejected any delegation of Congressional authority to the Pharaoh (read &lt;a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_were_Hitler's_first_actions_after_he_became_Chancellor"&gt;Chancellor&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;bama denied walking out of the budget talks on Thursday's broadcast.&amp;nbsp;

Your "contribution" to the&amp;nbsp;debt ceiling&amp;nbsp;debate is not very popular with the public.&amp;nbsp; Many Americans oppose&amp;nbsp;raising the debt ceiling.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In the latest&lt;em&gt;

Most thinking people viewed November 2010's election as a repudiation of Obama's Euro-Socialist/Marxist tranformative agenda.&amp;nbsp;(The average leftist leech thinks [&lt;em&gt;sic&lt;/em&gt;], "As long I get mine, who cares where it comes from?")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;nly 33% of those surveyed support raising the debt limit.&amp;nbsp; It would be interesting to see how many of these supporters actually pay taxes.&amp;nbsp; Forty-two percent would not raise the debt ceiling and 25% shrug their shoulders and are not sure.&amp;nbsp; The most popular solution to the debt ceiling conundrum is to tie the raise in debt to spending cut.&amp;nbsp; The problem with that is that unless the cuts occur coincidentally with the debt raise they will be illusory.&amp;nbsp; Obama offers cuts in the future, which may or may not happen.&amp;nbsp; We saw that last April when &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/04/12/earlyshow/main20053039.shtml"&gt;John Boehner was snookered by Obama&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with insignificant budget cuts in exchange for billions in spending cash for Obama's slush fund.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;bama's&amp;nbsp;notion of shared sacrifice&amp;nbsp;is ludicrous.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Yet, there's been&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;nothing&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; offered by Obama and the Democrats to cut any pet programs.&amp;nbsp; Whenever Democrats use the terms "bipartisan"&amp;nbsp;of "compromise" it means that Republicans must give up their positions and that the Democrats will get nearly all of theirs.&amp;nbsp; What kind of shared sacrifice is that?&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2010-04-16-editorial16_ST_N.htm"&gt;almost half of Americans don't pay any taxes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;despite the increasing growth of government and a shrinking tax base.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;he typical Democrat solution is to tax the daylights out of the rest of us that do pay taxes.&amp;nbsp; But where's the equity when Obama's&amp;nbsp;corporate crony,&amp;nbsp;GE, a big corporation and its media puppet subsidiary, MSNBC, &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/general-electric-paid-federal-taxes-2010/story?id=13224558"&gt;paid&amp;nbsp;NO taxes&amp;nbsp;for 2010&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; To be fair, those individuals and corporations that paid no taxes are taking advantage of what the tax law allows them to take.&amp;nbsp; Often times the child care credit is a boon for individuals.&amp;nbsp; But&amp;nbsp;these tax&amp;nbsp;breaks&amp;nbsp;seem to contravene&amp;nbsp;a basic axiom&amp;nbsp;of taxation that there be&amp;nbsp;fundamental fairness to &lt;u&gt;ALL&lt;/u&gt; taxpayers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;ere are some suggestions for increasing revenue while re-establishing tax code fairness:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The overriding principle must be that everybody should&amp;nbsp;pay &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;something&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in taxes, even if it is a token amount.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Foundations, whether they are&amp;nbsp;non-profit, charitable, or otherwise should pay a low percentage of the gross valuation of the trust corpus, &lt;em&gt;e.g.&lt;/em&gt;, 0.1%.&amp;nbsp; It would bring&amp;nbsp;truly wealthy persons such as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates back into the taxpaying pool.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;IRC &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;§&lt;/span&gt;503(c)(3) organizations should also pay a low percentage of the gross valuation of all property &lt;u&gt;not directly&lt;/u&gt; related to the charitable, religious,&amp;nbsp;or educational purpose of the organization.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Abolish the Department of Energy and merge&amp;nbsp;many--but not all--of its functions within the Department of the Interior.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Abolish the Department of Education&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bring the troops home from Europe.&amp;nbsp; We've subsidized the European&amp;nbsp;economy for over 60 years.&amp;nbsp; It's time to wean the Europeans from their dependency on American largess.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Stop indirectly &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2009/02/04/2009-02-04_how_not_to_fund_hamas_scrutinize_those_w.html"&gt;funding terrorist groups&lt;/a&gt; like Hamas with American taxpayer money.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cut taxes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Raising taxes on&amp;nbsp;individuals and small to mid-size businesses during an economic Depression is nonsensical.&amp;nbsp; It's like raising bus fares because bus ridership is low.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The unintended consequences of stupidity is to&amp;nbsp;penalize the few remaining riders, most of whom cannot afford any other means of transportation.&amp;nbsp; But like most unintended consequences tax and fee hikes, the poor bear the brunt of the financial burden,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;e.g.&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;sin taxes, raised public transportation fares, and numerous fees.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cut 10% across the board for &lt;u&gt;ALL&lt;/u&gt; branches of government.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cut U.N. funding by the U.S. in half.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These suggestions are&amp;nbsp;similar to the punchline of&amp;nbsp;the old lawyer joke, "What are&amp;nbsp;100,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's&amp;nbsp;a real&amp;nbsp;good start.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&amp;nbsp;

Neither the Democrats&amp;nbsp;or the Pharaoh have offered any budget plan except to raise taxes and spend more on vote buying entitlement schemes.&amp;nbsp; Instead, they choose to pick at Paul Ryan's budget proposal like a child picks a scab.&amp;nbsp; It never heals and the bleeding is constant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;o who will win this budget ceiling contest?&amp;nbsp;

&lt;a href="http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5163039/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;The Obamas lived&amp;nbsp;way beyond their means&amp;nbsp;until 2005&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, when Barack Obama assumed his Senate seat.&amp;nbsp; The indolent &lt;a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080901111103AAQg9iU"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Obama only showed up to his U.S. Senate job 143 days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

So what does he do now that he's the big cheese?&amp;nbsp; He shoots hoops, plays golf, and wolfs down bad food.&amp;nbsp; He also goes on a lot of vacations.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Just look at&amp;nbsp;Obama's reckless handling of the American economy and you could conclude that the man is a&amp;nbsp;indolent, incompetent spendthrift. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;t least one &lt;a href="http://factcheck.org/2010/01/president-obamas-vacation-days/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Obama apologist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

several things of note during their terms in office.&amp;nbsp; Clinton and Obama accomplished little or&amp;nbsp;nothing positive during their time in office.&amp;nbsp; Clinton is &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;still&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

on&amp;nbsp;Thursday night despite&amp;nbsp;objections from&amp;nbsp;the Obama regime and former President George W.

Thirty-eight year old Leal was executed&amp;nbsp;for the murder of 16-year-old Adria Sauceda in 1994.&amp;nbsp; Sauceda's nude body was found hours later&amp;nbsp;after he left a party with her.

The attorneys&amp;nbsp;and violated the Vienna Convention that guarantees foreign detainees the right to consult with consular authorities of their governments&amp;nbsp;following an&amp;nbsp;arrest or detention.&amp;nbsp; So doesn't this constitute an argument for asking a foreign detainee about his immigration status?&amp;nbsp; How could a street cop&amp;nbsp;give an alleged perpetrator his right to a foreign consular&amp;nbsp;assistance if he can't ask the trigger question to&amp;nbsp;inform&amp;nbsp;a suspected perpetrator of his legal rights?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;e are always hearing sob stories about the valedictorian illegal immigrants&amp;nbsp;that were "innocently" brought here as children&amp;nbsp;to justify passing blanket amnesty and various iterations of the Dream Act.&amp;nbsp; Why not balance those stories with stories of criminals like Leal and the MS 13 gang.&amp;nbsp; But&amp;nbsp;we won't hear those stories&amp;nbsp;because&amp;nbsp;racist Democrats need illegal voters to support their destructive agenda.&amp;nbsp; Racist RINOs will always argue that illegals are doing the jobs Americans won't do.&amp;nbsp; Maybe we can breed a type of American worker&amp;nbsp;similar to those subhumans bred to do undesirable jobs as described in &lt;em&gt;Brave New World&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;

A classic way of eliminating the competition when you can't beat them with&amp;nbsp;ideas is to trivialize them.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The methods used by the Democrats to eliminate capable Conservative women are at times reprehensible.&amp;nbsp; One method is to play the "pretty face but no substance" angle.&amp;nbsp; So far this hasn't really worked because both women are articulate and&amp;nbsp;could hold their own against the teleprompter assisted Obama.&amp;nbsp; In the case of Palin, she has been subjected to&amp;nbsp;legal harassment, libel and slander, and&amp;nbsp;a vicious&amp;nbsp;Lame Stream Media hate campaign&amp;nbsp;that has not been seen since the Nazi pornographer, Julius Streicher put out the anti-Semitic&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_St%C3%BCrmer"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Der Stürmer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

font-family: inherit;"&gt;Bachmann is beginning to feel the effects of the Liberal-Fascist media hate machine.&amp;nbsp; The Media is&amp;nbsp;nitpicking her every word to make her appear to be, as Chris Wallace on Fox News put it, "a flake."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For a bunch that claims to be enlightened and non-sexist, the Democrats and the Coastal elites are the biggest&amp;nbsp;knuckle dragging troglodytes ever to trudge the surface of the Earth.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;What's ironic about these sexist attacks by the Left is that both women are examples of the feminist icon&amp;nbsp;as postulated by such feminist multimedia&amp;nbsp;as&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ms._(magazine)"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Ms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Magazine in the 1970s.&amp;nbsp; Both&amp;nbsp;Palin and&amp;nbsp;Bachmann are independent, intelligent, have families,&amp;nbsp;successful careers, and genuinely seem to love their husbands.&amp;nbsp; In other words, they have it all because they are closer to the average American woman than Michelle "Antoinette" Obama.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And unlike most&amp;nbsp;Liberal women,&amp;nbsp;they've earned&amp;nbsp;their success&amp;nbsp;based on their own hard work.&amp;nbsp; The average Democrat female "success story" is&amp;nbsp;based upon connections and not character.&amp;nbsp; Hillary Clinton hitched her wagon to Bill Clinton.&amp;nbsp; Nancy Pelosi came from a prominent Baltimore, Maryland&amp;nbsp;political family.&amp;nbsp; Scratch a female Kennedy&amp;nbsp;public figure and well, you find a Kennedy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;

in 1919,&lt;/span&gt; in which&amp;nbsp;eight White Sox players were banned for like for throwing the World Series, the NFL seems to be more lenient &lt;em&gt;viz&lt;/em&gt; gambling.&amp;nbsp; But when it comes to drugs, Major League Baseball (MLB)&amp;nbsp;seems to have a&amp;nbsp;more &lt;em&gt;laissez-faire&lt;/em&gt; attitude.&amp;nbsp; Pitcher &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Howe_(baseball)"&gt;Steve Howe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was suspended several times over a 17-year on and off baseball career for substance abuse, but was always reinstated when a live arm was needed.&amp;nbsp;

He'll get some of that money.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Many players such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Sosa"&gt;Sammy&amp;nbsp;Sosa&lt;/a&gt; were&amp;nbsp;suspected of using performance enhancing drugs during the "blind eye" period of steroid use in MLB.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;MLB greatly benefited from the fan increase during home run derby&amp;nbsp;in the 1999 season between Sosa and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_McGwire"&gt;Mark McGwire&lt;/a&gt;, also suspected of using&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;performance enhancing drugs.&amp;nbsp; Although they may not be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, none of these players has suffered any real financial hardship. &amp;nbsp;McGwire currently works as the batting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;

What's happening here is what Constitutional lawyer Mark Levin said on his WABC radio talk program on 5 July 2011.&amp;nbsp; Senator Schumer is suggesting that Pharoah Obama simply use that clause to continue to incur debt.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;em&gt;The Sunday London Times&lt;/em&gt; story&amp;nbsp;of the birthday party gives a preview of what America can look forward to if the Pharoah is allowed to continue his profligate spending ways.&amp;nbsp; Under Mugabe's stewardship the unemployment rate&amp;nbsp;is 94%!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://allafrica.com/stories/200111270393.html"&gt;Mugabe spent millions on luxury limousines while millions starved&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;

That&amp;nbsp;is insane.&amp;nbsp; Teachers have done very poor job of educating the young skulls full of mush in America.&amp;nbsp; They have tremendous nerve asking for more money for job poorly done.&amp;nbsp; These are among the Pharaoh's most rabid and irrational supporters.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Teachers' u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;nions also enable the elitist plutocrats oppose school vouchers, i.e., they don't want their precious little Franklin and Eleanor intermingling with Malik, Maria, José, Mohammad, Lakisha, Tony, Billy Bob, and Peggy Sue. In other words, they fear the old cliché, "To know me is to love me." Racism and classism have never been so evident as it is with elitist Democrats. Does the Pharaoh and other rich Democrats send&amp;nbsp;their kids to public schools?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As Democrats like to hector Republicans over sex scandals, here's&amp;nbsp;an area where the gross&amp;nbsp;hypocrisy of the Democrats is obvious.&amp;nbsp; As a postscript to the Wisconsin saga, a school district went from $400,000 in the red to $1.5 million in the black implementing Governor Scott Walker's reforms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. &lt;u&gt;Out of Control Eco-Nazis&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; The EPA (damn that Rockefeller Republican Richard Nixon) is writing regulations as if "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123655590609066021.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;cap and trade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;" were in effect.&amp;nbsp; The California agriculture economy is being held hostage by the Eco-Nazis defense of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Smelt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Delta Smelt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;.

But you have to realize that global warming is a elitist plutocrat&amp;nbsp;cozenage to create another closed wealth creating scam by selling carbon credits.&amp;nbsp; They are done with the stock market inasmuch the "little guy" is heavily invested in the stock market through 401(k) plans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

the taxpayers around $400,000.&amp;nbsp; The Pharaoh has run-up almost $3 trillion in deficit spending in just&amp;nbsp;two and a half years. &amp;nbsp;Remember the stimulus&amp;nbsp;package of $800 billion?&amp;nbsp; Remember when the Pharaoh bragged about "shovel ready jobs"?&amp;nbsp; Guess what?&amp;nbsp; It was a money laundering scheme to keep public employees paying the dues that end up in Democrook party coffers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p4-vPrcDBo&amp;amp;amp"&gt;Yet, Pharaoh laughed it off by saying I guess the shovel ready jobs weren't as shovel ready as he/we thought&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;

August 2, 2011 is the drop dead date for the US to default on the debt or so the Pharaoh claims so as to scare&amp;nbsp;Congress into raising the debt ceiling.&amp;nbsp; The Pharaoh also wants to tax corporate jets.&amp;nbsp; This is ironic in that the Pharaoh and Michelle Antoinette spend hundreds of thousand dollars on what is apparent non-governmental related business and travel.&amp;nbsp; Oh sure,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/"&gt;&lt;span id="goog_609630829"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Michelle Antoinette&amp;nbsp;might pose for a photo-op doing push-ups with Bishop Tutu&lt;span id="goog_609630830"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

press is in full operating support mode for the Pharaoh.&amp;nbsp; Note the continuing sexist libel against the more than capable Conservative women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.&amp;nbsp; The press made major mountain out of a molehill over&amp;nbsp;Bachmann's minor gaffe about John Wayne being born in her hometown of Waterloo, IA. &amp;nbsp;Here's a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxBX8sz3tO8"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;link&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt; to the Pharaoh's numerous gaffes that the Lap Dog Media &lt;em&gt;deliberately&lt;/em&gt; chose to ignore or play down.&amp;nbsp; Most of the Pharaoh's gaffes&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;excused because he's sooo tired from working (&lt;em&gt;sic&lt;/em&gt;) for&amp;nbsp;his crony socialist buddies like George Soros.&amp;nbsp; Swinging a golf club, shooting hoops, wolfing down greasy fries, having White House soirees&amp;nbsp;for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and going to fundraisers is exhausting.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; By the way, the Pharaoh doesn't even know the age of his &lt;em&gt;12 year old daughter&lt;/em&gt;, he claimed in his June 29th presser with the Lap Dog Media that she's 13 years old! &amp;nbsp;I can excuse Bachmann not knowing that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;John Wayne Gacy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;, lived in Waterloo, IA.&amp;nbsp;

Where would unfunny&amp;nbsp;fruitcake Al Franken be without vote fraud?&amp;nbsp; He'd be trying to resurrect a&amp;nbsp;mediocre and very unfunny&amp;nbsp;radio talk show&amp;nbsp;career.&amp;nbsp; Franken was as funny as a fart in crowded elevator.&amp;nbsp; Where would Harry "Mr. Peepers" Reid be without illegal alien votes and the SEIU fraud machine?&amp;nbsp; He'd probably be&amp;nbsp;chasing ambulances in Searchlight, NV.&amp;nbsp;There are dozens of stories of "found" voting ballot boxes that benefited Democrook politicians in the last 40 years!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Vote fraud is the only crime that the Democrooks are good at.&amp;nbsp; They certainly stink at forgery.&amp;nbsp; Isn't that right Dan Rather?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. &lt;u&gt;America Haters Running America&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Little did I realize that the dirty, filthy unAmerican SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) roaming around on my college campus would be the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2007/03/20/2008-the-battle-for-a-generati#"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;coat and tie radicals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;running the American government today.&amp;nbsp; These&amp;nbsp;colossal wastes of human DNA are self-centered narcissists as exemplified by the biggest narcissist of all, Pharaoh Barack.&amp;nbsp; Most of their achievements are the result of gradeflation,&amp;nbsp;inflated resumes, and overtures to our enemies.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jrtelegraph.com/2006/10/kgb_letter_ted_.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Teddy Kennedy, alcoholic murderer, immigration law defiler, and ruiner of the greatest health care system in the world,&amp;nbsp;made direct&amp;nbsp;overtures to the Soviets to thwart Ronald Reagan!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

Teddy wasn't rich he's on a budget from his trust fund.&amp;nbsp;And, he like most rich Liberal-Fascist and other&amp;nbsp;socialist pigs consider themselves the "chosen ones" to run and benefit&amp;nbsp;financially from their warped&amp;nbsp;stewardship of the world.&amp;nbsp; Just look at the wealthy Democrooks that are&amp;nbsp;advocating Socialism--Soros, Buffett, Gates, GE management, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley to name a few. &amp;nbsp;Do you really think that good Liberal-Fascist women&amp;nbsp;spendthrifts like Nancy Pelosi and Michelle Obama would give ever up luxury?&amp;nbsp; You can't have any of the good stuff but &lt;em&gt;they&lt;/em&gt; sure as hell can.&amp;nbsp; The Dems through their control of the media have managed to stereotype the Reputzigan Party as the political party of the rich.&amp;nbsp; Truth be told, the real plutocrats are the Democrooks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. &lt;u&gt;Death of the Unborn&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; The Pharaoh continues to&amp;nbsp;insist on the quarter of a billion dollar annual funding for the merchants of death, Planned Parenthood.&amp;nbsp; This funding for death continues despite the rampaging public debt that is destroying the American economy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This is the very first thing to cut from the bloated election fund&amp;nbsp;that the Democrooks are pushing&amp;nbsp;disguised as a budget.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;*&amp;nbsp;

What's Obama's&amp;nbsp;reaction to all these crises?&amp;nbsp; He's fiddles around like Nero,&amp;nbsp;shooting hoops, playing some more golf, going to fund raising events with wealthy crony-socialist Dems, and he and the Missus taking lots of vacations on the taxpayers tab.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's time&amp;nbsp;for the corrupt,&amp;nbsp;morally bankrupt politicians to be driven from positions of power before they bankrupt America.&amp;nbsp;

I made&amp;nbsp;the reacquaintance of an old college girlfriend from the early 1970s.&amp;nbsp; She was a product of our rebellious youth-driven times.&amp;nbsp; She was a leftist, anti-capitalist; and a definite&amp;nbsp;"Blame America First" person.&amp;nbsp; (Before I go any further we were &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; having an affair. We got in contact because of the website, "Classmates.")&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;After about two weeks of sporadic instant messaging and a lunch, I realized why we didn't work back then.&amp;nbsp; She hadn't changed her leftist politics one iota from what they were when we were both 19.&amp;nbsp; I was a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_M._Jackson"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Henry "Scoop" Jackson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt; Democrat&amp;nbsp;back then, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, I was a&amp;nbsp;Cold War&amp;nbsp;anti-Communist Democrat.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I hated the "New Left"! &amp;nbsp;She was definitely an unrepentant "New Left"&amp;nbsp;ideologue. &amp;nbsp;I have &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; despised extreme left wing&amp;nbsp;Socialism&amp;nbsp;because it is almost always either Marxist-Leninist/Fascist/Nazi, authoritarian, and freedom stifling.&amp;nbsp; But being 19, raging hormones trumped politics.&amp;nbsp; I left the Democrat Party in 1992, when the ultra-leftist Clintons hijacked the party.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;What caused&amp;nbsp;our second "break-up"&lt;/span&gt; was her constant haranguing about how stupid George W.

font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;There are several things&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; that I'd like to see disappear from the popular culture.&amp;nbsp; There are also several popular expressions&amp;nbsp;that should also disappear from the public lexicon.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Let's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;start with&amp;nbsp;a few of these&amp;nbsp;popular, but &lt;em&gt;really&amp;nbsp;stupid&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;popular expressions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;

font-size: large;"&gt;The origins of this absurd expression started as a "guilt trip" imposed upon those&amp;nbsp;Black Americans that left the ghetto and were made to feel like like somehow they had betrayed their race by being successful.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But damn, why shouldn't these "Oreos" have to apologize for paying attention in school and seeking something better than being&amp;nbsp;a crude rapper or drug dealer?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This expression has further devolved&amp;nbsp;into one of the stupidest, most self-serving remarks that has ever been uttered by &lt;u&gt;any&lt;/u&gt;one of &lt;u&gt;any&lt;/u&gt; race.&amp;nbsp; The best example of this devolution that I personally know of was by an acquaintance&amp;nbsp;of mine&amp;nbsp;that used this lame language during a&amp;nbsp;job interview for a buyer position with a local school district.&amp;nbsp; When asked why he wanted the buyer job, he said, "I went to the District's&amp;nbsp;schools so now I'd like to give something back."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Hmm, like what?&amp;nbsp; Are you going to work for free?&amp;nbsp; What did you take from the school district?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This kind of self-serving crap really irritates me, but not as much as the next stupid statement...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;

font-size: large;"&gt;Puhleeze!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;People that make this statement suffer from the other&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Attention Deficit Disorder Syndrome&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, these poor self-esteem&amp;nbsp;types that want positive attention drawn to them.&amp;nbsp; They want &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;body to think that they are "good people" doing "good works."&amp;nbsp; Typically, these folks&amp;nbsp;buy UNICEF Christmas cards and wear affinity group ribbons that espouse some cause like being against the persecution of left handed Lithuanian midgets with restless leg syndrome.&amp;nbsp; Blecch! &amp;nbsp;Barf!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"It is what it is."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;

&amp;nbsp;Contrary to leftist beliefs, this is NOT the purpose of a university.&amp;nbsp; But&amp;nbsp;the modern university and the complete government-run educational system&amp;nbsp;is considered by Liberal Fascists as an indoctrination tool.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;Many of these these nonacademic, undisciplined courses are often taught by former street thugs, &lt;em&gt;e.g.&lt;/em&gt;, ex-community organizers&amp;nbsp;that do not have&amp;nbsp;an acceptable&amp;nbsp;educational portfolio.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes,&amp;nbsp;you get&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;cigar store Indian&amp;nbsp;like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Churchill"&gt;Ward Churchill&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A well taught American history course reveals the warts in the American experience.&amp;nbsp; But contrary to what is taught in the affinity group courses,&amp;nbsp;the US has striven to correct inequities in its&amp;nbsp;society.&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;The US has not engaged in the &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;mass&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; state institutionalized genocides even remotely comparable to that of socialist driven regimes like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and the so-called People's Republic of China have.&amp;nbsp; Those regimes&amp;nbsp;murdered a conservatively estimated&amp;nbsp;total of over&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.urbanministry.org/wiki/genocide-statistics"&gt;85.3 million human beings&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in furtherance of&amp;nbsp;a socialist utopia.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yet, White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn coupled &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2FVEe7wCzs"&gt;Mao Zedong&lt;/a&gt; and Mother Theresa as &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2FVEe7wCzs"&gt;political philosophers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that she turns to.&amp;nbsp; But there are always excuses and blind eyes turned toward the misdeeds of leftists. Affinity Group university courses do little&amp;nbsp;to add to the&amp;nbsp;knowledge base. Most of the time&amp;nbsp;they only&amp;nbsp;further the big lies of the left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fist bumps, High Fives, and Ball Caps Worn Backwards&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;Talk about lame things to do, copying a frivolous cultural fad is silly.&amp;nbsp; But the three things listed above&amp;nbsp;are an outgrowth of "white guilt"&amp;nbsp;all while trying to suck-up and saying "Hey, We can be the same."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Bull crap!&amp;nbsp; As if the turn of a ball cap&amp;nbsp;or stupid hand jiving would make up for slavery, segregation, discrimination, &lt;em&gt;etc.!&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; There's nothing worse than a cultural&amp;nbsp;or racial toadie.&amp;nbsp; Especially one that wouldn't have a racial or ethnic minority at his or her dinner table.&amp;nbsp; Liberals are two faced toadies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Baby Boomers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;In the spirit of full disclosure, I am within the demographic commonly described as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Boomer"&gt;Baby Boomers&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; And for the umpteenth time in my life I'm really ashamed of my generation.&amp;nbsp; The world will be a far&amp;nbsp;better place when the&amp;nbsp;last Baby Boomer takes his or her final breath.&amp;nbsp; Now I'll tell you why I feel this way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;This the generation that single handedly has destroyed everything that the Greatest Generation defended and handed over on a&amp;nbsp;24Kt gold&amp;nbsp;platter to a generation of ingrates.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But If you've had&amp;nbsp;to fork over and arm and a leg for college tuition, thank leftist Baby Boomer college students&amp;nbsp;for causing a backlash against college students&amp;nbsp;with their &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_protest"&gt;student protests&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; For much of my academic career, higher education was &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;free&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;in California. &amp;nbsp;Today's students and their parents are SOL because of my Boomer Brethren's trashing of the higher educational system. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As far as drugs and alcohol is concerned, if it could be snorted, injected, smoked, put in suppository, baked into a brownie, inhaled, absorbed via osmosis, or drunk--the Boomers&amp;nbsp;did it to excess.&amp;nbsp; Now&amp;nbsp;grown-up Baby Boomers&amp;nbsp;complain and moan about illegal drugs, outlaw drug cartels, and border violence.&amp;nbsp; Thank a Boomer for&amp;nbsp;these problems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Are houses too expensive for you first time buyers?&amp;nbsp; Our parents bought a house primarily to live in.&amp;nbsp; Investment considerations were secondary. &amp;nbsp;But I remember in the early 1970s&amp;nbsp;when lazy Boomers would&amp;nbsp;put down a minimal down payment on a house and then turn around and sell it once the long term capital gains period had run.&amp;nbsp; Unlike today's house flippers, the Boomers&amp;nbsp;did little or nothing to&amp;nbsp;improve the house.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Boomers inflated the market by creating an artificial demand. Houses that were $15,000 were in two years valued at $50,000!&amp;nbsp; So you can thank&amp;nbsp;my fellow Boomers, in part,&amp;nbsp;for today's inflated housing prices!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/std/default.htm"&gt;STD&lt;/a&gt;s anyone?&amp;nbsp; "Free love" reached its apex with the Baby Boomers.&amp;nbsp; In their generational arrogance,&amp;nbsp;they sincerely believe that they invented sex.&amp;nbsp; Wow, tell that&amp;nbsp;to Alex Comfort, author of the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/09/AR2009010903767.html"&gt;Joy of Sex&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;Xaviera Hollander, author of the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xavierahollander.com/the-happy-hooker-book"&gt;Happy Hooker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;and Joan "J" Garrity, author of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/book/2/the-sensuous-woman-by-j"&gt;The Sensuous Woman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Because of&amp;nbsp;their legendary appetite for sex, drugs and rock and roll, their excesses paved the way for crabs, venereal warts, the gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, genital herpes, and sadly, AIDS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I could go on for days about Baby Boomers' screwing up America, &lt;em&gt;e.g.&lt;/em&gt;, personal and public deficit spending.&amp;nbsp; But let's move on to the "&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wordreference.com/fren/vermine"&gt;vermine&lt;/a&gt; de jour"&lt;/em&gt; the big wiener himself....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/06/06/weiner-press-conference-open-thread/"&gt;Anthony Weiner&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Part-time Underwear Model, move over &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Palmer"&gt;Jim Palmer&lt;/a&gt;!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;So this sick lying rat bastard refuses to resign despite admitting to lying to the public and the useless Lame Stream Media about his perverse little online escapades.&amp;nbsp; Despite all this hoopla, this sick mo'fo thinks he should keep "his job" despite his moral failings.&amp;nbsp; This is the Bill Clinton mode of counter attack, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, a Battle of the Bulge strategy by a loser. Democrats seem to believe that they can be personally immoral so long they have the right "public morality" (read adherence to the Liberal-Fascist socialist agenda).&amp;nbsp; Check-out &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqInOSJ97Hc"&gt;Barbara Walters defense&lt;/a&gt; of Weiner on the &lt;em&gt;View&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It will&amp;nbsp;make you wonder why Liberals are considered to be "smart" as compared to the rest of us?&amp;nbsp; It also shows how deathly afraid they are of Sarah Palin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

President George H.

of his&amp;nbsp;Presidency.&amp;nbsp; All the sand that they raised over Bush's drinking straight from a water bottle at&amp;nbsp;a G-8 conference was amazingly petty.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But in light of the social and verbal&amp;nbsp;boo boos that&amp;nbsp;their Presi-dunce has made, these same leftist&amp;nbsp;lackeys demand civility for&amp;nbsp;arguably the most incompetent, illiterate,&amp;nbsp;and socially inept&amp;nbsp;person to have ever have been elected President.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; His mispronunciation of the word "&lt;a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/02/04/obama_mispronounces_corpsman_at_prayer_breakfast.html"&gt;corpsman&lt;/a&gt;" is illustrative of his astounding illiteracy&amp;nbsp;or, maybe they pronounce it "corpse man" at Columbia and Harvard?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How about the time&amp;nbsp;that he said that he had been to all &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws"&gt;57 states&lt;/a&gt; in the USA.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;How about Obama's &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiRhHqlzaG4&amp;amp;NR=1"&gt;gaffe&lt;/a&gt; at the introduction of his then-Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Soto&lt;em&gt;menor&lt;/em&gt; (a.k.a., Sotomayor)&amp;nbsp;that the US Constitution was written 20 centuries ago?&amp;nbsp; (And the&amp;nbsp;Liberal Jackasses&amp;nbsp;savaged Michele Bachmann for her Lexington and Concord &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwzhuP8uzVI"&gt;gaffe&lt;/a&gt;.)&amp;nbsp; The worldly Obama also stated that &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr7zhnctF4c&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;Austrian is a language&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Without his trusty teleprompter, Obama would collapse into a pile of "&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThEAO0lt4Dw&amp;amp;NR=1"&gt;uhs&lt;/a&gt;" or is that "duhs"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Then we have&amp;nbsp;Obama's socially&amp;nbsp;insurgent wife touching the Queen of England on their first visit to the UK in her palace.&amp;nbsp; Talk about rude guests...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Obama's bow to the Emperor of Japan is the stuff of legendary social ineptitude.&amp;nbsp; How about Obama's&amp;nbsp;kissing the ring of the Saudi Arabian King?&amp;nbsp; WTF!&amp;nbsp; Since when is an American President ever subservient to a head of a foreign state?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Obama, the&amp;nbsp;most brilliant man to have ever occupied the White House--(the multi-lingual high IQ John Quincy Adams notwithstanding)--signed the wrong date in the guest book at Westminster Abbey as "24 May &lt;strong&gt;2008&lt;/strong&gt;"--can you imagine what the Liberal bastards&amp;nbsp;would have said had Ronald Reagan signed the wrong date&amp;nbsp;on &lt;u&gt;any&lt;/u&gt; document&amp;nbsp;(read an Alzheimer's disease amateur diagnosis by the "smartest"&amp;nbsp;people [Liberals]&amp;nbsp;on Earth!).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But as with&amp;nbsp;all of Obama's miscues and shortcomings, there's &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;always&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; an excuse--&lt;em&gt;e.g.&lt;/em&gt;, fatigue (from what--too much vacation and date nights?) or&amp;nbsp;incompetent staffers. &amp;nbsp;Perhaps this is the most profound form of racism, the fact that they don't trust Obama to make a mistake on his own.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Is that why they hide all of his school transcripts from first grade on?&amp;nbsp; Maybe they're ashamed that he failed "coloring book" in the first grade.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps it's true that somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;* * * * *﻿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Poor Ed Schultz, so far from God and so near to imbecilic status.&amp;nbsp; This loud mouthed imbecile insulted Laura Ingraham, a respected conservative talk show by calling her a "talk show slut."&amp;nbsp; That's just plain ugly and sexist.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Support the &lt;a href="http://www.iwf.org/news/show/24919.html"&gt;Independent Women's Forum&lt;/a&gt; effort to have Schultz fired from MSNBC.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I can't think of a better to clean the airwaves of political porn.&amp;nbsp; Let's finally bring a&amp;nbsp;Liberal sleaze bucket to justice.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

Boehner was unusually defensive about the cuts that he supposedly pried out of Obama.&amp;nbsp; Listening to Boehner, we can see why the GOP is outmatched by the Liberal-Fascist ideologues time and time again.&amp;nbsp; Boehner conceded the government closure option from the start.&amp;nbsp; He did not have the stomach to&amp;nbsp;follow through with&amp;nbsp;it.&amp;nbsp; This gave Obama all the incentive he needed to say "Nope!" to the defunding of Planned Parenthood, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;the Baby Butchers that are so concerned about the health of women.&amp;nbsp; Moreover, Obama was able to save the taxpayer funded Democrat allies, the&amp;nbsp;propaganda organs NPR and PBS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;

This concession by Boehner was similar to Khrushchev extracting a promise from John F. Kennedy (JFK)&amp;nbsp;during the &lt;a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/11046/days/index.html"&gt;Cuban Missile Crisis&lt;/a&gt; to not invade Cuba in exchange for removal of Soviet ICBMs from Cuba.&amp;nbsp; Khrushchev snookered JFK into helping him reduce the need for a Soviet military presence in Cuba.&amp;nbsp; It also gave Castro a reprieve from having to find a way to defend his dictatorship from an invasion by the US or its surrogates.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;The JFK promise assured the Soviet&amp;nbsp;Union of a&amp;nbsp;secure base of operations for the spread of Marxism throughout Latin America.&amp;nbsp; The legacy of JFK's blunder is found today in the Marxist governments of Hugo Ch&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;á&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;vez (Venezuela) and Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua).&amp;nbsp; What will John Boehner's legacy be to the taxpayers of the United States?&amp;nbsp; It was pretty sorry performance by a politician that was supposed to be a good negotiator. Query: How were the Democrats able to stymie the GOP for&amp;nbsp;six years (2001 - 2006) even though the GOP controlled all three branches of government?&amp;nbsp; The answer is easy: the GOP's fear of being demonized.&amp;nbsp; This fear is irrational because the Liberal-Fascist Democrats regularly demonize the GOP anyway. So what did Boehner and the gutless GOP have to lose by doing what the voters sent them there to do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;

If the government was shut down, then the Lap Dog media was going to demonize the Republicans for starving old people and killing women seeking to kill their unborn fetuses.&amp;nbsp; This is a classic example of the weakness of a politician like Boehner&amp;nbsp;that has been in elective office far too long.&amp;nbsp; They don't see a country anymore, just interest groups.&amp;nbsp; They pander to these groups and&amp;nbsp;fail to&amp;nbsp;do the right thing for the country as a whole.&amp;nbsp; This is the best argument for term limits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;But&amp;nbsp;what was the GOP National Committee doing in the meantime?&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/bupkis"&gt;Bupkis&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; As soon as it became known that Obama was willing&amp;nbsp;not pay the American military to protect Planned Parenthood's funding&amp;nbsp;there should have been a massive GOP media blitz hammering away at Obama's twisted priorities.&amp;nbsp; But the GOP, as always, allowed itself to be slapped around like a prison bitch.&amp;nbsp; It makes one wonder what the Republican National Committee does with all those contributions?&amp;nbsp; They probably spent the contributions&amp;nbsp;at a fetish strip club as they did in &lt;a href="http://©/"&gt;2010&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;

The story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt; contained the following description of the exchange between Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On Monday night’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel, Coulter said the “birther” conspiracy has been long debunked by other conservative outlets. “Well, I think maybe I’ve been watching too much Charlie Sheen because Donald Trump seems perfectly sane to me,” Coulter said. “I don’t know where he gets this $2 million Obama has spent to keep his birth certificate — he posted his birth certificate on his web page. I am glad that Donald Trump is bringing it up so that people who haven’t been paying attention and don’t know that the American Spectator, Human Events, Fox News – you know, every conservative outlet has already shot down this rumor, which by the way, was started by the Hillary Clinton campaign.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;You can watch the entire interview on &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a52S1B8_oMM"&gt;You Tube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; But as much as I admire Ann Coulter, I have to disagree with her a bit on this one.&amp;nbsp; I'm not dismissive of the issue as readily as Coulter is because of the furtive secrecy surrounding Obama's birth certificate.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;nbsp;doesn't pass the basic smell test.&amp;nbsp; Why act like you're guilty of hiding something if you're not guilty of hiding anything?&amp;nbsp; Especially when it can be easily resolved with a simple release of&amp;nbsp;a full birth certificate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But prominent Liberals always demand&amp;nbsp;absolute privacy whenever there are sensitive personal&amp;nbsp;issues involved.&amp;nbsp; Bill Clinton refused to release his medical records.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;(The reasons are not entirely clear for Clinton's refusal.)&amp;nbsp; But his Republican Presidential opponent in 1996, the older Bob Dole had to release his medical records to prove he wasn't infirm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;* &amp;nbsp;* &amp;nbsp;* &amp;nbsp;*&amp;nbsp; *&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;I don't&amp;nbsp;seriously&amp;nbsp;believe that Coulter is an Obama operative as suggested by some of the reader comments on &lt;em&gt;Conservativebyte.com&lt;/em&gt;. She's much too smart&amp;nbsp;to throw in with arrogant not-as-smart-as they-think-that-they-are Liberal-Fascists.&amp;nbsp; Although if she were an operative, it would one of&amp;nbsp;the greatest con jobs of all time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OmID99e2QQ8/TaUE_XeBqNI/AAAAAAAABf0/uWiryPM-K0c/s1600/barack-obama-birth-certificate_472x460.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="389" r6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OmID99e2QQ8/TaUE_XeBqNI/AAAAAAAABf0/uWiryPM-K0c/s400/barack-obama-birth-certificate_472x460.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This is it!&amp;nbsp; Proof positive?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;This is an issue that does need further clarification by Obama.&amp;nbsp; Especially after all the sand raised over the eligibility in 2008, of John McCain (born&amp;nbsp;in Panama to US parents),&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and in 1968, George Romney (born in Mexico City to US parents),&amp;nbsp; to run for President of the United States. &amp;nbsp;As for the document that is causing all the the controversy; the purported Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth leaves a lot to be desired. It&amp;nbsp;has no official signature, no embossed or attached seal, or&amp;nbsp;no&amp;nbsp;essential details of the live birth, like&amp;nbsp;the name of the attending physician.&amp;nbsp; Moreover, on&amp;nbsp; the certificate, (pictured to the right), under the father's race is the description "African." &amp;nbsp;I don't remember in my college Anthropology 101 class &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; race ever being described as "African."&amp;nbsp; That was in the&amp;nbsp;mid-1970s, when it seemed like everyone was obsessed with hot button issues like race and racism.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Although modern anthropologists don't use the traditional &lt;a href="http://www.aaanet.org/stmts/racepp.htm"&gt;concept of race&lt;/a&gt; anymore--in reality, things haven't changed much in the last 50+ years since the Civil Rights movement started.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;The only other evidence of Obama having been born in Hawaii&amp;nbsp;are birth announcements in two newspapers according to Coulter.&amp;nbsp; Are there any&amp;nbsp;other hard copies of the newspapers available for ready inspection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;?&amp;nbsp; It would also be nice if microfiches of the newspapers&amp;nbsp;were available for&amp;nbsp;viewing at more than one public library in Hawaii.&amp;nbsp; But I have an open mind on the issue.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Because the&amp;nbsp;consequences to America&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;if&lt;/em&gt; Obama were to be something &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt; than what he purports to be&amp;nbsp;is too terrible to imagine--even for the most ardent America haters like most of the MSNBC pundit line-up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;The best evidence of Obama's American birth/citizenship would be a valid birth certificate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But it would&amp;nbsp;not be a document that &lt;em&gt;looks&lt;/em&gt; like it&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; have been&amp;nbsp;taken from a stationery cabinet and hastily filled-in by a student political intern--and a stupid one at that.&amp;nbsp; Such a&amp;nbsp;defective document&amp;nbsp;might also have&amp;nbsp;about as much credibility as the&amp;nbsp;phony document&amp;nbsp;that Dan Rather tried to use during the&amp;nbsp;2004 Presidential Election,&amp;nbsp;to prove that G.W. Bush was AWOL from the National Guard during the Vietnam War.&amp;nbsp; Presumably, Rather's apparent end game was to affect the election outcome in favor of Democrat candidate John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;But many Liberal-Fascists are&amp;nbsp;sociopathic, Clouseau-like ideologues.&amp;nbsp; So it shouldn't be&amp;nbsp;too&amp;nbsp;surprising to imagine&amp;nbsp;that in their&amp;nbsp;misguided zeal, that&amp;nbsp;they might from time to time, try to pass&amp;nbsp;badly created&amp;nbsp;documents off as legitimate ones to advance a political agenda.&amp;nbsp; But I worked in state and local government for almost 20 years and saw some of the dumbest things ever written on&amp;nbsp;official letterhead and other documents by dimwitted government employees.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So the above-mentioned "African" race "mistake" is not beyond&amp;nbsp;credibility as an "honest" bureaucratic mistake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;So all Obama&amp;nbsp;has to do to make&amp;nbsp;"Birthers" look foolish is to show a valid birth certificate.&amp;nbsp; The kicker is that even Obamabot Chris Matthews of MSNBC&amp;nbsp;wants Obama to release his birth certificate.&amp;nbsp; But that's not likely to happen because all of&amp;nbsp;Obama's records from first grade through Harvard Law School are sealed airtight.&amp;nbsp; So what&amp;nbsp;could his handlers be hiding? &amp;nbsp;Did he fail "coloring books" in the first grade?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;They say&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;the cover-up is worse&amp;nbsp;than the crime.&amp;nbsp; Imagine that,&amp;nbsp;a failure to color within the lines... a true high crime and misdemeanor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-7831382455754019055?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/7831382455754019055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/04/uncivil-speech-is-ann-coulter-obama.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/7831382455754019055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/7831382455754019055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/04/uncivil-speech-is-ann-coulter-obama.html' title='UNCIVIL SPEECH: IS ANN COULTER AN OBAMA OPERATIVE?'/><author><name>Nick Nafta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13795738578215492592</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HtveQ_EPHJI/Sp3X0SmQZPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qd-vAQf6y48/S220/ape.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4o1f9RfZCec/TaUFg_DxPUI/AAAAAAAABf4/Z5_ewT2GD3k/s72-c/UNCIVIL+SPEECH3.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668348714805221564.post-8142258807988434236</id><published>2011-04-08T01:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-08T09:41:57.267-07:00</updated><title type='text'>UNCIVIL SPEECH: COUNTDOWN TO SHUTDOWN OR THE BABY BUTCHERS BLOCK BUDGET</title><content type='html'>﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;

In that regard, the Liberal Fascists of the Democrat Party are in goosestep with their not-so-distant Nazi cousins in their&amp;nbsp;display of&amp;nbsp;total disrespect for human life.&amp;nbsp; Socialism seems to sanction state sponsored death mills like concentration camps and abortion clinics.&amp;nbsp;

font-size: large;"&gt;Given the&amp;nbsp;tremendous progress of&amp;nbsp;the technology of birth control over the last 40 years, abortion is rapidly becoming a grisly&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;superfluous method of birth control.&amp;nbsp; A lot of science has happened since the 1973 &lt;em&gt;Roe v. Wade&lt;/em&gt; US Supreme Court&amp;nbsp;decision legalizing abortion. [See previous post, &lt;em&gt;Anti-Political Weasel Page&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Uncivil Speech: The Other Business of Death&lt;/em&gt;, February 23, 2011.]&amp;nbsp; Yet, even while the future of the nation hangs in the balance, Democrats cling desperately to their&amp;nbsp;destructive agenda and abortion while&amp;nbsp;pursuing a strategy to preserve&amp;nbsp;their power. &amp;nbsp;With their reckless spending, lack of civility,&amp;nbsp;and disrespect&amp;nbsp;for the Constitution,&amp;nbsp;Democrats seem to not care a wit about this country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;

of all three Federal branches of government, no budget&amp;nbsp;was passed.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;All this current hoopla wouldn't be happening but for the incompetence and chicanery of Democrats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

The Republican funding resolution includes complete funding for the Pentagon (military personnel&amp;nbsp;get paid)&amp;nbsp;through the end of the current fiscal year &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;and&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; defunding of Planned Parenthood.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As a result, Obama has said that he will veto the Republican resolution.&amp;nbsp; Senate Majority Leader and erstwhile nebbish, Harry Reid said in effect that the&amp;nbsp;Republican resolution is a non-starter. &amp;nbsp;Obama is seeking to&amp;nbsp;blame the Republicans for American soldiers not being paid, even while they're in the middle of three military actions.&amp;nbsp; This political strategy&amp;nbsp;is flawed,&amp;nbsp;dangerous and disrespectful to the military and the United States of America. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none;

His [Rushdie's]&amp;nbsp;fourth novel, &lt;em&gt;The Satanic Verses&lt;/em&gt; (1988), was the centre of a major controversy, drawing protests from Muslims in several countries.

[&lt;em&gt;Citation omitted.&lt;/em&gt;] In early 2005, Khomeini's fatwā was reaffirmed by Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, in a message to Muslim pilgrims making the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.

During World War II, you had limits on what you could say if it would inspire the enemy. So burning a Koran is a terrible thing, but it doesn't justify killing someone. Burning a Bible would be a terrible thing, but it wouldn't justify a murder. But having said that, any time we can push back here in America against actions like this that put our troops at risk, we ought to do it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;... we're on shaky ground.&amp;nbsp; So, Senator Graham, please define what endangerment of the troops is.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Because in case I missed something, the&amp;nbsp;Islamo-Fascists in Afghanistan&amp;nbsp;don't need any further inspiration&amp;nbsp;to commit extreme violence&amp;nbsp; against American soldiers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's doubtful that the stupid act of a two-bit Florida preacher&amp;nbsp;in burning the &lt;em&gt;Koran&lt;/em&gt; is &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;the&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; root cause of violence against American troops in Afghanistan.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;

As a lawyer, Senator Graham should know better.&amp;nbsp; And General Petraeus should stick to military matters and leave politics and legal interpretation&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;of the US Constitution to civilians and the Courts.&amp;nbsp; That is, unless he wants to run for President in 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;

The Constitution says what it means and means what it says.&amp;nbsp; All religions are up for&amp;nbsp;scrutiny, ridicule,&amp;nbsp;and criticism--no matter how lame or sacrilegious&amp;nbsp;those actions or speech&amp;nbsp;might be toward a given religion.&amp;nbsp; That is, they are allowed to do so, so long as there&amp;nbsp;is no &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;direct&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; violence&amp;nbsp;against the religion's practitioners or suppression of the religion.﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;All religions are entitled&lt;/span&gt;

As Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."&amp;nbsp; It is long past due to end the tyranny of political correctness.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We are now hearing that Obama and the highly esteemed Hillary Clinton--a Yale Law School grad--are now seriously considering arming the Libyan rebels without knowing who they really are or for whom they are really fighting for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But yesterday, in a moment of Ivy League elitism, Obama said that there are professionals among the rebels, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Hmm, Yasser Arafat was a civil engineer.&amp;nbsp; Che Guevara was a medical doctor. Fidel Castro is a lawyer. It seems that a professional degree might be a valid credential to be a revolutionary or freedom fighter.&amp;nbsp; Universities and colleges in the 1960s and the early 1970s were full of revolutionary wannabes. This was especially true in law schools all over the United States. They were all going to "change the world and make a difference."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But maybe there is some credence to having professionals as&amp;nbsp; revolutionaries toppling a dictator or just being plain old fashion freedom fighters--even if they do end up being the same as the old dictator. (There's a song in there somewhere.)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;here's also&amp;nbsp;rumored to be temporary outside revolutionaries that are working with the Libyan rebels. This begs the question, is there a temp agency that hires these guys? Does the Robert Half Agency have a division for itinerant insurgents? Does Manpower have a rent-a-revolutionary program? This would be the ultimate outsourcing of a job that Americans should not be doing anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;But sooner or later, the nearly bankrupt Uncle Sam will be drawn into the Libyan conflict with pockets pulled inside out.&amp;nbsp; Do you really think that the toothless British lion and the French surrender monkeys could hack it in Libya? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The grand naïveté of the modern American leftist is that they assume that because someone has an advanced academic degree that they can be somehow like them, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBXyB7niEc0"&gt;gooble gobble, we accept&amp;nbsp;him,&amp;nbsp;we accept him, one of us&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Nothing could be further from the truth. Liberals are&amp;nbsp;frat boy pranksters in comparison with hardcore Islamo-Fascist terrorists.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In reality,&amp;nbsp;modern Liberals&amp;nbsp;are coffee house communists&amp;nbsp;with dreams of revolutions where no blood is ever shed and&amp;nbsp;capitalist pigs are banished forever. &amp;nbsp;Allegedly Lenin once called American leftists "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot"&gt;useful idiots&lt;/a&gt;." Add to that description naive, and Osama Bin Laden&amp;nbsp;will be laughing his scrofulous ass off in Hell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-6604231247695453951?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/6604231247695453951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/03/uncivil-speech-we-have-to-arm-libyan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/6604231247695453951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/6604231247695453951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/03/uncivil-speech-we-have-to-arm-libyan.html' title='UNCIVIL SPEECH: &quot;We have to arm the Libyan rebels first before we can find out who they are.&quot;   This is proof that Liberals are the stupidest people on Earth.'/><author><name>Nick Nafta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13795738578215492592</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HtveQ_EPHJI/Sp3X0SmQZPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qd-vAQf6y48/S220/ape.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9v3QUT70Nfs/TZPxL1sTbaI/AAAAAAAABek/tibXiGGRDLI/s72-c/UNCIVIL+SPEECH3.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668348714805221564.post-3081612596188751425</id><published>2011-03-30T00:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-30T00:21:56.964-07:00</updated><title type='text'>UNCIVIL SPEECH: DR.

The control group consisted of registered Democrat voters, Socialist Worker Party members, Communist Party USA members, and public employee and teacher union members.&amp;nbsp; Dr. Konspiracy&amp;nbsp;selected this group&amp;nbsp;to reflect American mainstream political thought&amp;nbsp;in consultation with advisers from the Disassociated Press, the Crescent News Network, the National Broadcasters for Collectivism, the Collective Broadcasting System, the American Broadcasting Collective, the Partisan Broadcasting Service, and National Partisan Radio.﻿&amp;nbsp; The experimental group consisted of&amp;nbsp;activist individuals&amp;nbsp;that were militantly for abortion rights (choice) while maintaining strong sentiments against the death penalty for serial killers, brutal rapists, and assorted criminals.&amp;nbsp; This study led to the crystallization of the Democrat Party Platform in 1992, when Bill Clinton won the Presidency espousing a middle of the road&amp;nbsp;platform while concealing a distinctly socialist agenda.&amp;nbsp; Obama during the 2008 Presidential Election&amp;nbsp;effectively concealed his Afro-Marxist tendencies while projecting the image of a&amp;nbsp;confident centrist progressive.&amp;nbsp; Since then Obama has&amp;nbsp;demonstrated at times&amp;nbsp;inconsistent and incoherent behavior particularly when the Presidential &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleprompter"&gt;teleprompter&lt;/a&gt; is in the shop.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Despite his vain attempt to justify his erratic whipsaw foreign policy, Obama&amp;nbsp;failed to clarify&amp;nbsp;his Libya intervention during his nationally broadcast speech on&amp;nbsp;Monday night.&amp;nbsp; We asked&amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Konspiracy to help explain the Obama foreign policy paradox.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;APWP&lt;/u&gt;: Dr. Konspiracy can you explain the recent bouts of indecisiveness&amp;nbsp;by President Obama regarding foreign policy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;DK&lt;/u&gt;: There is a popular newly theorized syndrome known as the Kelsey-Grammar syndrome in which an individual appears to be in control, is articulate, and is&amp;nbsp;unfazed by chaotic situations.&amp;nbsp; Some might describe it as a cool aloofness under fire. In the case of the President, and this is without having examined him personally,&amp;nbsp;he would &amp;nbsp;appear to be in a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue_state"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;dissociative fugue&amp;nbsp;state&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Dissociative fugue&amp;nbsp;may involve unplanned travel or wandering, and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity.&amp;nbsp; In the case of the President, he has had to establish a new identity as a statesman and as a working man... and not just a smooth talking rabble-rousing community organizer.&amp;nbsp; These are things that he attempted to do earlier in his first autobiography.&amp;nbsp; He wrote a follow-up autobiography, which&amp;nbsp;did resonate with the lesser educated masses. Meanwhile, the elites&amp;nbsp;began to see&amp;nbsp;him as a potential tool to be used for their ends.&amp;nbsp; They may be rethinking their choice in light of his recent confused behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;APWP&lt;/u&gt;: Can you elaborate on&amp;nbsp;dissociative fugue state as it relates to President Obama?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;DK&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; Certainly. Have you noticed that every time there is a crisis that President Obama takes a trip abroad, plays golf, or shoots hoops?&amp;nbsp; The situation in Libya is&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;point in that regard.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Obama took off to Rio while Libya was in a state of siege. &amp;nbsp;Can you imagine&amp;nbsp;Franklin Roosevelt going on vacation during D-Day?&amp;nbsp; Abe Lincoln going to the theater during the Battle of Gettysburg?&amp;nbsp; I seriously doubt that LBJ shot hoops during the Tet Offensive.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;APWP&lt;/u&gt;: What about the identity aspect?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;DK&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Well, that's a real sticking point with me.&amp;nbsp; I don't want to appear to be a "birther" but the lack of a valid birth certificate complicates the matter.&amp;nbsp; I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but it would help if he produced a birth certificate, if only just to silence&amp;nbsp; his critics.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;All of us have&amp;nbsp; a sense of who we are.&amp;nbsp; We get this&amp;nbsp;from several sources: our family, our friends, and from legal documents like a birth or baptismal certificate.&amp;nbsp; It's somewhat discomforting to some people that someone wouldn't seek to prove something like where you were born. &amp;nbsp;To add to the confusion,&amp;nbsp;there's few people that remember President Obama &lt;u&gt;prior&lt;/u&gt; to his college and law school years.&amp;nbsp; In fact, we know&amp;nbsp;little about him except for what's in his two autobiographies.&amp;nbsp; T&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;om Brokaw and Charlie Rose, I think, had a discussion about this on Rose's PBS show. They&amp;nbsp;said out loud what many of us are thinking.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I wonder really if we are comfortable not knowing much of anything about the individual&amp;nbsp;that is&amp;nbsp;the most powerful man in&amp;nbsp;the world?&amp;nbsp; All of his records are sealed... from first grade to law school.&amp;nbsp; It's kind of hard to put your arms around that.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;APWP&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp;So how does all of this explain Obama's confused foreign policy?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;DK&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp;He doesn't have a true sense of himself, &lt;/em&gt;i.e.&lt;em&gt;, an identity.&amp;nbsp; His persona has been created by handlers that have scripted his entire life.&amp;nbsp; Unless the script is there then he doesn't know what to do unless he is told what to do.&amp;nbsp; He is like&amp;nbsp;an actor that cannot do improvisational theater.&amp;nbsp; Crises spontaneously pop up.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;You can't prepare a script that will anticipate oil spills, revolutions, and natural disasters. Without an understanding of your character--yourself--then you have no coping mechanism that you can fall&amp;nbsp;back&amp;nbsp;on to competently handle&amp;nbsp;a crisis. This causes confusion and hence, the lack of a cohesive foreign policy and a tendency to bury&amp;nbsp;one's head in the sand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;APWP&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp;Thank you for your&amp;nbsp;insights Dr. Konspiracy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;______________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OsRA0xdvJGI/TZGRxugOmzI/AAAAAAAABeg/sYiekWcZcCA/s1600/DKNT+Book+cover.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" r6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OsRA0xdvJGI/TZGRxugOmzI/AAAAAAAABeg/sYiekWcZcCA/s200/DKNT+Book+cover.PNG" width="145" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dr. Gustav Konspiracy's latest book, &lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dr. Konspiracy's Nightmare Theories - Symptoms &amp;amp; Syndromes of Political Figures&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is published by Wandom Outhouse and&amp;nbsp;will be available in bookstores on April 1, 2011.&amp;nbsp; It will sell for $29.95.&amp;nbsp; It is Dr. Konspiracy's&amp;nbsp;twentieth book on abnormal political psychology.&amp;nbsp; Dr. Konspiracy is the Marquis De Sade Professor of Abnormal Psychology at the Hiram Walker School of Psychology at Wallace C.

He ignored their advice and didn't provide the additional troop levels that the military commanders recommended were needed to succeed in Afghanistan.&amp;nbsp; Obama's incompetence has led to the current mess in Afghanistan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;s he did&amp;nbsp;with Afghanistan, the Presidunce also&amp;nbsp;vacillated about Libya because, well he simply doesn't have a clue of how to lead, or to follow.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But&amp;nbsp;he does know how to get out of the way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Obama does that by hiding out on the golf course, the basketball court, in ESPN's studios, or&amp;nbsp;in Rio de Janeiro.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;he kicker in all this is that the&amp;nbsp;military intervention&amp;nbsp;in Libya is really&amp;nbsp;for the benefit of Britain and France with&amp;nbsp;their desperate need for Libyan oil.&amp;nbsp; Of course BP (British Petroleum of the Gulf Oil Spill) is involved.&amp;nbsp; Could this use of American force be tied in with the Gulf victims' fund paid by BP?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Has the BP victim's fund money, like the Stimulus Fund money, disappeared into some political rat hole?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Is American military power is being used to advance the interests of British Petroleum?&amp;nbsp; They're good questions to think about.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;M&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;eanwhile,&amp;nbsp;let's&amp;nbsp;make&amp;nbsp;our new anti-war slogan,&amp;nbsp;"No American blood for Libyan oil for France and Britain."&amp;nbsp;

font-size: large;"&gt;Why do "one trick ponies" that have a good thing going screw it up by being cruel, stupid, or insensitive. The one trick pony troika of Michael Vick, Charlie Sheen, and Gilbert Gott-fired comes to mind.&amp;nbsp; Vick forfeited a $30+ million NFL contract by running an cruel dog fighting and &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;illegal gambling&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; ring. (The illegal gambling-phobic NFL has since taken him back.&amp;nbsp; They are total hypocrites.) Sheen boots a $48 million TV contract by being a substance abusing libertine and anti-Semite. Gilbert Gott-fired loses a national spokesmouth gig with AFLAC&amp;nbsp;doing the voice-over for the AFLAC Duck&amp;nbsp;by being an insensitive lout with poor comedic timing. (Voice-over artists take note, a lucrative job is now available if you can demonstrate a semblance of humanity.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Each of the above-mentioned dunces should drop to their collective knees--(Marxist lingo)--and thank&amp;nbsp;the Good Lord&amp;nbsp;for their largely undeserved good fortune. Without football, Vick would be just another dog-killing street punk. Without his famous Daddy and acting, &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, if you can call playing yourself on a TV sitcom "serious" acting, Charlie Sheen would be a drunken doorman at a crack house or a whorehouse.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And finally, Gilbert Gott-fired has shown himself to be little more than another tasteless act in a vulgar freak show for demented children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ighbn6KJVz8/TYDN2HIXhtI/AAAAAAAABeQ/SDRuuVPvydg/s1600/Lenin%2527s+Block+GIF.GIF" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="39" r6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ighbn6KJVz8/TYDN2HIXhtI/AAAAAAAABeQ/SDRuuVPvydg/s200/Lenin%2527s+Block+GIF.GIF" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Illustration by Nick Nafta&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;﻿Speaking of dunces, our Presidunce is spending most of his time these tumultuous days playing golf, shooting hoops, and filling out his NCAA college basketball tournament bracket sheet for the Oval Office betting pool.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Meanwhile, Libyan rebels are being slaughtered by&amp;nbsp;Qaddafi, Japan is suffering through earthquakes and nuclear plant meltdowns, public employee unions are destroying state budgets, the U.S. Post Office will be broke by the end of September, gas and food prices are rising meteorically, and there is still no Federal budget after &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;six months&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; During 2008 Presidential Election, the Presidunce was very vocal in saying that we "took our eye off of the ball" in Afghanistan&amp;nbsp;by going to Iraq. &amp;nbsp;In two years, we've lost more men in Afghanistan under Obama than in the previous eight years under the&amp;nbsp;hated George W. Bush.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Yet, the Snooze Media no longer runs the little segments where they name the casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan&amp;nbsp;in order to drive home the point that "Bush lied and people died."&amp;nbsp; When gasoline prices rose in the last six months of 2008, Bush got the blame. Not so with our Presidunce.&amp;nbsp; He gets off Scot-free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; At what point does Obama ever become responsible for his actions &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;and&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;non-actions?&amp;nbsp; Probably never.&amp;nbsp; This is because the hard bigotry of low expectations&amp;nbsp;is at work.&amp;nbsp;Liberal-Fascists tend to have low expectations of all minorities. &amp;nbsp;Let's call it the "Great White Father Complex" as WMAL morning talk show host &lt;a href="http://www.wmal.com/sectional.asp?id=18930"&gt;Chris Plante&lt;/a&gt; says.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; White Liberal-Fascists patronizingly declare that Obama is the smartest President ever. In truth, &amp;nbsp; several Presidents were much smarter, &lt;em&gt;e.g.&lt;/em&gt;, Nixon, Jefferson, and both Presidents Adams.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_was_the_smartest_US_President"&gt;Answers.com&lt;/a&gt; has a claim that Obama scored high enough on the &lt;em&gt;Law School Admissions Test&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;to qualify for membership in the smart guy organization &lt;a href="http://www.mensa.org/"&gt;MENSA&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; But we'll never know for sure how smart he is&amp;nbsp;because Obama's records as far back as first grade are sealed.&amp;nbsp; Hmm, what &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; he hiding?&amp;nbsp; Query: How do you flunk coloring&amp;nbsp;in first grade?&amp;nbsp; Maybe it's&amp;nbsp;the same way Al Gore flunked out of divinity school. (Query: How do you flunk God?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If&amp;nbsp;Obama&amp;nbsp;did score high on&amp;nbsp;any standardized test it is probably because he was given the answers by his handlers.&amp;nbsp; I mean really, a guy that pronounces "corpsmen" as "corpsemen"?&amp;nbsp; But, maybe that's&amp;nbsp;how they say it at Hahvud or Columbia. &amp;nbsp;During the 2008 Presidential Election, Obama said that&amp;nbsp;he had been&amp;nbsp;to 57 states in the U.S.!&amp;nbsp; For the record, there are 57 &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Muslim&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;states. Maybe that's what&amp;nbsp;our closeted Muslim sympatico&amp;nbsp;really meant. &amp;nbsp;But&amp;nbsp;Obama got yet another pass for that last one from the Snooze Media because he was probably really "tired" when he said it. Really?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are no such excuses for &lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/03/16/glenn_beck_mms_nuclear_meltdown/"&gt;Michele Bachmann&lt;/a&gt;, arch-nemesis of&amp;nbsp;Nazi Pelosi,&amp;nbsp;from Liberal-Fascist political thugs like Lawrence O'Dumbbell (O'Donnell).&amp;nbsp; She is being crucified by O'Dumbbell for misplacing the&amp;nbsp;Battle of&amp;nbsp;Lexington and Concord in New Hampshire instead&amp;nbsp;of Massachusetts.&amp;nbsp; O'Dumbbell proceeds to&amp;nbsp;insult her&amp;nbsp;congressional district by saying, "&lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/03/16/glenn_beck_mms_nuclear_meltdown/"&gt;Perhaps all of Michele Bachmann's staff comes from her district which may be the most ignorant congressional district in America&lt;/a&gt;."&amp;nbsp; Here's news for you O'Dumbbell, smarter things than you have been flushed down toilets in Congressional districts all over America.&amp;nbsp; In fact, a single compost pile has far more intelligence than all the Liberal-Fascists combined. OK, so maybe that's hyperbole, but this is the kind of political analysis that we get from the Liberal-Fascist Squawking Heads and from the Snooze Media.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Perhaps the solution to all this is--to paraphrase Shakespeare--"&lt;a href="http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/lets-kill-all-lawyers"&gt;The first thing we do, let's kill all the journalists&lt;/a&gt;."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Not to&amp;nbsp;worry, &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;no one will die because there are no journalists left in the United States&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3668348714805221564-6357248709484883186?l=anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/feeds/6357248709484883186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/03/uncivil-speech-gilbert-gott-fired-other.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/6357248709484883186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3668348714805221564/posts/default/6357248709484883186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anti-politicalweasel.blogspot.com/2011/03/uncivil-speech-gilbert-gott-fired-other.html' title='UNCIVIL SPEECH: GILBERT GOTT-FIRED &amp; OTHER DUNCES'/><author><name>Nick Nafta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13795738578215492592</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HtveQ_EPHJI/Sp3X0SmQZPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/qd-vAQf6y48/S220/ape.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XQni2AsfqLs/TYDMEl8_KeI/AAAAAAAABeM/Y0TcMFyJwDg/s72-c/UNCIVIL+SPEECH3.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668348714805221564.post-3036206766006135190</id><published>2011-03-09T16:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-09T17:30:11.156-08:00</updated><title type='text'>UNCIVIL SPEECH: WHEN WILL THIS LONG NATIONAL  NIGHTMARE OF INCOMPETENCE BE OVER?</title><content type='html'>﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;﻿&lt;/span&gt; &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y_tHI_7qAK4/TXVgi3is6JI/AAAAAAAABeA/i9l99jiw3Pw/s1600/UNCIVIL+SPEECH3.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" q6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y_tHI_7qAK4/TXVgi3is6JI/AAAAAAAABeA/i9l99jiw3Pw/s1600/UNCIVIL+SPEECH3.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Illustration by Nick Nafta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;﻿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;Our Presidunce&amp;nbsp;has done &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;nothing&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in retaliation&amp;nbsp;for the four Americans brutally executed by Muslim Somali pirates.&amp;nbsp; (Like maybe doing the world a favor by bombing&amp;nbsp;Somali pirate strongholds.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Obumbler's predecessor George W.

But because&amp;nbsp;the victims like the flooded out Midwestern White Americans aren't a part of his lunatic leftist base he won't/doesn't act--not even in flyover country!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But Obumbler still has his White House parties and his pick-up basketball games on the weekend.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;Tonight's White House party is to watch the Chicago Bulls play the Charlotte Bobcats.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;(It's not clear&amp;nbsp;whether the partiers will be&amp;nbsp;bi-partisan or bi-polar.) The food fare&amp;nbsp;will not be the healthy stuff that Michelle Antoinette is trying to shove down our collective, (excuse the Marxist lingo), gullets. You know, stuff like steamed mullet, tree bark, pine cones, and uncooked wild oats.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Instead&amp;nbsp;the bi-partiers&amp;nbsp;will probably get chips, ice cream, pizza, fries, ribs, adult libations, &lt;em&gt;etc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yVX-PFltKpE/TXgWLdPuvVI/AAAAAAAABeE/TGpoypsZ9WU/s1600/democratic-donkey.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" q6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yVX-PFltKpE/TXgWLdPuvVI/AAAAAAAABeE/TGpoypsZ9WU/s1600/democratic-donkey.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Kanye!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;﻿Kanye West, once described by the Presidunce as a "jackass," said that George W. Bush "hates Black people" apparently for not pushing the secret magic lever in the hidden room in the White House that would have stopped Hurricane Katrina. But the Presidunce's inaction on several natural disaster fronts involving predominately white victims is just as bad, if not worse. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;To some,&amp;nbsp;it&amp;nbsp;might also seem that Barack Obumbler &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;hates&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; white people &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; Christians. Well folks, it &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;looks&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; like Obumbler &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;is&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; a racist and religious bigot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8gnmUyminI"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;He called his white Grandmother that raised him "a typical white person"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; This is as bad as saying "you people" to a crowd of Black folks.&amp;nbsp; Obama didn't do a very good of explaining what he meant by "a typical white person."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But&amp;nbsp;using the sliding scale of ethics and morality that most Socialist pigs live by, he'll surely get a pass.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But Obumbler is quick to tell us Americans that we should not jump to conclusions about the Balkan Muslim that &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;intentionally&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt; killed two American airmen in the name of Islam. This is even though the murderer has confessed to the act of Islamo-terrorism. Obumbler also said the same thing when another Muslim domestic terrorist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shot up &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;his fellow soldiers at the Fort Hood, Texas army base. Why this kid glove treatment of wrongdoing Muslims?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Of course it was not "jumping to conclusions" when Obumbler called a Cambridge, Massachusetts cop "stupid" for arresting a Black Harvard professor for disturbing the peace. &amp;nbsp;As it turned out that the cop acted ethically and professionally and was vindicated--so much for a post-racial America.
