CHRIS CHRISTIE RECONSIDERS or CHRIS CHRISTIE REDUX--AGAIN!

Unlike the flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara playing romantic peekaboo games with numerous suitors in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind (GWTW), there's something creepy  about Chris Christie playing a coy courtesan as he flirts with running for President.  At least with Scarlett, there was a definite strategy in playing one suitor against another.  She could land a wealthy husband and nobody  got hurt, i.e., no taxpayers were harmed in the making of GWTW.  But Christie's political-eye-batting-come-on seems downright narcissistic and indecisive.  His umpteenth denial that he's running will come at a press conference today.  The last thing we should want in a President is an indecisive narcissist.  Why you might ask?  We've been there, done that, and don't want to do it again in 2012.  But at least Christie isn't wearing Mom Jeans as he flirts shamelessly with party elders and big time GOP donors.  Way back when Presidents didn't regularly "dis" the country, my Dad worked with a retired Navy man from Alabama. "The Captain" as he was known, was a crafty marketing guy that used to describe upcoming "dog and pony shows" to potential customers  as an opportunity "to open up the kimono and tantalize them a bit!"  "The Captain" knew a little bit about skillful salesmanship.  This is not the case with Chris Christie.

The usual reason given for the intense interest in Christie is that the current GOP Presidential field is weak.  Query: As compared to what?  Obama has become in two and one half insufferable years the worst President ever.  The previous holder of the title, Jimmy Carter looks downright statesmanlike in comparison, but not quite enough to erect billboards saying "Miss me?"  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.  Personally, I like this field because all of them are far more capable than Obama.  Even the eccentric Ron Paul has his merits.  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, i.e.,  a good management team.  I could easily see Michele Bachmann as Commissioner of the IRS.  Herman Cain would make a good Secretary of Commerce. Mitt Romney would make either a good Secretary of the Treasury or better yet, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.  There's a lot of common sense in the GOP field.  But more importantly, there's experience that goes beyond the posting of handbills on telephone poles announcing a community gripe session.  Unlike the current occupant of the White House, all of these current candidates also have solid records of regularly showing up for work.

We can't say that we've got a good management team in Obama, his VP Biden,  or his Cabinet.  Vice-President Joe Biden is, to paraphrase former VP John Nance Garner's comment about the Vice-Presidency, "...not worth a bucket of warm spit." (According to Sydney Blumenthal, as cited in Wikipedia, Garner actually said "warm piss."  That sounds more like what a hard core Texan like Garner would have said. )   It's also a cruel cosmic joke to have tax cheat Tim Geithner running the Treasury department, which by the way, includes the IRS.  At least two of Obama's appointees are ardent admirers of mass murderer Mao Zedong.  Eric Holder is a joke as the U.S. Attorney General, i.e., Holder is to the law what woodpeckers are to carpentry.  He should be immediately sent away to some backwoods hollow to be a Judge Roy Bean-like dispenser of injustice.  

But is Christie the answer to our current national malaise?  Well, until Christie shows a little more than what's inside his slightly open kimono, (I know it's bad optics), we'll just have to let the process play itself out.  Let's also hope that the Democrats and the Main Stream Media presstitutes won't be picking a GOP caninedate in 2012, just as they did in 1996 and 2008.  We'll see today at Christie's press conference at 1 p.m., EDT whether or not he'll be running for "Best in Show" in 2012.  But don't think that this flirtation is over.

ANTHONY WEINER, HIGH FIVES, FIST BUMPS, STUPIDNOMICS, BABY BOOMERS, AND OTHER THINGS THAT I CAN DO WITHOUT!

There are several things that I'd like to see disappear from the popular culture.  There are also several popular expressions that should also disappear from the public lexicon.  Let's start with a few of these popular, but really stupid popular expressions.

"I want to give back to the (Fill in the blank) ______________!" 

The origins of this absurd expression started as a "guilt trip" imposed upon those Black Americans that left the ghetto and were made to feel like like somehow they had betrayed their race by being successful.  But damn, why shouldn't these "Oreos" have to apologize for paying attention in school and seeking something better than being a crude rapper or drug dealer? 

     This expression has further devolved into one of the stupidest, most self-serving remarks that has ever been uttered by anyone of any race.  The best example of this devolution that I personally know of was by an acquaintance of mine that used this lame language during a job interview for a buyer position with a local school district.  When asked why he wanted the buyer job, he said, "I went to the District's schools so now I'd like to give something back."  Hmm, like what?  Are you going to work for free?  What did you take from the school district?  This kind of self-serving crap really irritates me, but not as much as the next stupid statement...

"I want to make a difference!"

Puhleeze!  People that make this statement suffer from the other Attention Deficit Disorder Syndrome, i.e., these poor self-esteem types that want positive attention drawn to them.  They want everybody to think that they are "good people" doing "good works."  Typically, these folks 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.  Blecch!  Barf!

"It is what it is." 

Well, thank you Captain Obvious for your less than ass-tute (read astute) observations about life in general.  What would we ever do without your keen eye?  And why have a thoughtful opinion about anything when a lame comment like that will suffice for the uncritical thinkers amongst us?

"It's great!"

Along with "grade-flation," the societal urge to engage in hyperbole or, "hype" in the vernacular is rampant.  Greatness should be reserved for people like the guys on Mt. Rushmore or for things like the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or the Magna Carta.  I still remember back when a manly "Tony the Tiger" used to say that about Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, (actually it was "They're great!").  He was a studly tiger and not the politically correct de-clawed wussy pussy that shills for the cereal now.

"Superstar!"

See the comment above for "It's great" for insight into the stupidity of excess.  This is a variation of the equally idiotic expression the "best of the best"--either you're the best or you're not.

"It was surreal!"

Take one college art appreciation survey class and suddenly the world is viewed through "Dali Goggles"!  This is also an example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing.  No, this is not a slam against community college students but to the those elitist college snobs that try to wax eloquent using inappropriate metaphors and similes.

*  * *  *  *

Now let's visit the stupid stuff that I wish were gone with the wind.

Stupidnomics (a.k.a., Obamanomics)

Nine percent unemployment is now the norm (read acceptable as full employment) according to the lame stream Obama-State run media.  Huh?  In November 2006, when the Democrats campaigned against Republicans on the theory that they caused the worst economy in U.S. history, the unemployment rate was 4.5%.  Now a 9.1% unemployment rate is cool according to the Obama-State run media.  During the much hated Bush administration, the Dems contended that the low unemployment rate was fueled by "burger-flipper" jobs.  Now that the "Democommies" are in charge those "burger flipper" jobs are gold to these desperate socialists.  The hypocrisy of the Dems can be "surreal" sometimes.

Academic Affinity Groups

Affinity Groups are largely responsible for faux university courses in Black Studies, Chicano Studies, Gay and Lesbian Studies, Native American Studies, Women's Studies, etc., ad nauseam.  Why are there incubators for leftist fueled discontent mongering on a university campus?  Contrary to leftist beliefs, this is NOT the purpose of a university.  But the modern university and the complete government-run educational system is considered by Liberal Fascists as an indoctrination tool.  Many of these these nonacademic, undisciplined courses are often taught by former street thugs, e.g., ex-community organizers that do not have an acceptable educational portfolio.  Sometimes, you get a cigar store Indian like Ward Churchill. 

     A well taught American history course reveals the warts in the American experience.  But contrary to what is taught in the affinity group courses, the US has striven to correct inequities in its society.    The US has not engaged in the mass 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.  Those regimes murdered a conservatively estimated total of over 85.3 million human beings in furtherance of a socialist utopia.  

    Yet, White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn coupled Mao Zedong and Mother Theresa as political philosophers that she turns to.  But there are always excuses and blind eyes turned toward the misdeeds of leftists. Affinity Group university courses do little to add to the knowledge base. Most of the time they only further the big lies of the left.

Fist bumps, High Fives, and Ball Caps Worn Backwards

Talk about lame things to do, copying a frivolous cultural fad is silly.  But the three things listed above are an outgrowth of "white guilt" all while trying to suck-up and saying "Hey, We can be the same."  Bull crap!  As if the turn of a ball cap or stupid hand jiving would make up for slavery, segregation, discrimination, etc.!  There's nothing worse than a cultural or racial toadie.  Especially one that wouldn't have a racial or ethnic minority at his or her dinner table.  Liberals are two faced toadies.

Baby Boomers

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am within the demographic commonly described as Baby Boomers.  And for the umpteenth time in my life I'm really ashamed of my generation.  The world will be a far better place when the last Baby Boomer takes his or her final breath.  Now I'll tell you why I feel this way.   This the generation that single handedly has destroyed everything that the Greatest Generation defended and handed over on a 24Kt gold platter to a generation of ingrates. 

    But If you've had to fork over and arm and a leg for college tuition, thank leftist Baby Boomer college students for causing a backlash against college students with their student protests.  For much of my academic career, higher education was free in California.  Today's students and their parents are SOL because of my Boomer Brethren's trashing of the higher educational system.

     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 did it to excess.  Now grown-up Baby Boomers complain and moan about illegal drugs, outlaw drug cartels, and border violence.  Thank a Boomer for these problems. 

     Are houses too expensive for you first time buyers?  Our parents bought a house primarily to live in.  Investment considerations were secondary.  But I remember in the early 1970s when lazy Boomers would 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.  Unlike today's house flippers, the Boomers did little or nothing to improve the house.   Boomers inflated the market by creating an artificial demand. Houses that were $15,000 were in two years valued at $50,000!  So you can thank my fellow Boomers, in part, for today's inflated housing prices!

     STDs anyone?  "Free love" reached its apex with the Baby Boomers.  In their generational arrogance, they sincerely believe that they invented sex.  Wow, tell that to Alex Comfort, author of the Joy of Sex,  Xaviera Hollander, author of the Happy Hooker, and Joan "J" Garrity, author of The Sensuous Woman.  Because of 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.

     I could go on for days about Baby Boomers' screwing up America, e.g., personal and public deficit spending.  But let's move on to the "vermine de jour" the big wiener himself....
    
Anthony Weiner (Part-time Underwear Model, move over Jim Palmer!)

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.  Despite all this hoopla, this sick mo'fo thinks he should keep "his job" despite his moral failings.  This is the Bill Clinton mode of counter attack, i.e., 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).  Check-out Barbara Walters defense of Weiner on the View.  It will make you wonder why Liberals are considered to be "smart" as compared to the rest of us?  It also shows how deathly afraid they are of Sarah Palin.
    
     Color me surprised if Weiner leaves office any time soon.  The cancer that is the Democrat party will protect him up until it becomes absolutely necessary to throw him under the bus.  In compensation, they might even get him a job with with DNC's de facto party press organs (no pun intended) CNN or MS-NBC.

 

Typical voter reaction to Weiner's Ways



(Part 2 - Barbara Boxer) IT'S TIME TO RETIRE WORN-OUT POLITICAL RETREADS

After 28 long years in office, Barbara Boxer has little to show for her tedious tenure except for her tenacious Mengele-like support of abortion.  Since the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, nearly 40 million fetuses have been aborted.  That's more carnage than Adolph Hitler caused.  That's about the same number killed by Joseph Stalin and is rapidly beginning to approach Mao Zedong's record murder rate of 60 million.  All three of the aforementioned tyrants are socialists, as is Senator "Don't call me ma'am!" Boxer.  Of course this is not to imply that Boxer is anything like these murderers.  She is an honorable woman. The Democrat babble tells me so.

     But there is a common thread that links the above-mentioned socialists.  Socialists are indifferent to life; or at least that is how Socialists become when a given life is no longer of any use to the state. (Aside: Senior citizen voters beware of the quality of your health care under Obama Care as your useful life to the state comes to an end, i.e., you're not a taxpayer anymore, but a public charge.  But socialists will be overjoyed as they reap millions from your estate under their confiscatory inheritance tax system.  So think about your vote on November 2!)  Unfortunately, Boxer is far worse than the above-mentioned tyrants. That's because she's a crypto-murderer by proxy via Planned Non-Parenthood.  At least Joe, Mao, and Adolph stepped up to the plate and proudly took credit for their actions.  But Boxer, like most abortion supporters, hide behind the "we're only watching out for women's health" rubric as their justification for institutionalized murder.  By the way, Liberal-Fascist feminists are always "for the children" except when they become inconvenient speed bumps to their careers or other personal plans.

     Two annoying traits that Liberal-Fascist women also share are over-inflated egos and personalities characterized by overbearing arrogance toward the world in general.  Her fellow Liberal-Fascist traveler Nancy "Bela" Pelosi, a true political bloodsucker in every sense of the word, likes to carry a big gavel in her hands.  She did so after the passage of Obama Care when she and other Democrooks strolled through the mostly anti-socialist health care crowd attempting to incite a confrontation.  And it's a good guess that she wanted the world to know that she's the "boss lady in charge"!  

     But just in case you forgot how arrogant and small-minded Boxer can be, remember her little rant at the General for calling her "ma'am" instead of "Senator"?   Boxer "boxed" the testifying General's ears because she claimed to have "worked hard" (highly doubtful) for the job title of Senator.  What the woefully ignorant Senator doesn't know is that military protocol requires that military personnel address Senators as "sir" or "ma'am"!

* * * * *

* * * * *

Boxer comes off like a petty tyrant.  Boxer's contempt for the military was further highlighted during an interview with Robert Wallace, Executive Director of the Washington DC VFW, on the nationally syndicated radio program, The Laura Ingraham Show. It was pointed out by Ingraham that Boxer supported funding to send anti-war Code Pink (read Code Stink) operatives to Fallujah, Iraq in 2004. It's a fair inference to conclude that Code Stink is in the business of providing aid and comfort to murderous Islamo-Fascist terrorists.  Yet, this anti-American Liberal-Fascist Senator shamelessly extols the virtues of her support of wounded veterans in her campaign advertising.  Talk about hypocrites, Boxer takes the cake as well as the contents of your wallets and purses.

     In the final analysis, unbending support for abortion is the only accomplishment (sic) that Boxer can point to in the 28 years that she spent (your money) in Washington.  Given the exorbitant salaries paid to Federal legislators, Boxer has been a very expensive 28 year political parasite.

This and that

The Power of One...

For those that think that they can have no impact on those around them take a gander at these recent news items.

News Item: 1 

A major freeway was shut down for about eight hours Tuesday morning as officers negotiated with a suicidal woman sitting on a freeway overpass, which backed up traffic for miles and created a nightmare for commuters. The woman was taken into custody shortly before 10 a.m. and the lanes were reopened.--Debbi Baker, San Diego Union-Tribune Staff Writer

From 1:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m., a city was brought to a standstill by a suicidal woman. Every freeway artery was clogged and adjacent surface streets became busy.

News Item 2:

After threatening suicide, a woman slipped and fell off the Lemon Grove Avenue bridge over state Route 94 about 3:30 p.m. yesterday [NN: October 29,2009].  Traffic had been stopped on the busy freeway for about two hours as officials tried to talk her down.  Last week, another distraught woman on an Interstate 5 overpass near Balboa Park created a major traffic tie-up for thousands of San Diego commuters during the morning rush hour. After more than seven hours Oct. 20, the woman voluntarily came down from the bridge.--Breaking News Team,  San Diego Union-Tribune

Far too often, people say, "I want to make a difference."  When what they really mean is that I want to be "famous."  In the case of the two suicidal women they got their several hours of fame.

Why I Despise Leftists...

Freedom is not free. Free men are not equal and equal men are not free--sign-off for the 1960s radio show The Voice of Americanism.

For those of you that wonder why I despise leftists, I offer the following tidbits. The Obama administration will first offer H1N1 vaccines to Gitmo detainees.  While long lines of Americans wait for limited supplies of the vaccine for their children, the human chancres at Gitmo are given first preference over citizens of the United States. To quote a Gitmo spokesmouth:

 "JTF Guantanamo conducts safe, humane, legal and transparent care and custody of detainees. As such, we must provide detainees the medical care necessary to maintain their health." CNN.com

Under pressure from  loony left, these murderers and thugs are treated better than the children that the Leftists claim to love and want to protect so much. (Ignore the fact that they are all for the murder of children in the womb.) But that's only one example of leftist radical stupidity.

In California there is a Stage 3 water emergency.  While it partially due to a lack of rain, the primary reason for the water shortage is a court ordered reduction in water delivered to municipal water districts because of a court protective order for the Delta Smelt, Delta Smelt fish are preyed upon by larger fish, especially striped bass and largemouth bass which are invasive species in the Sacramento Delta.  Well, something "smelt" pretty bad when a fish comes before food production by farmers in California's Central Valley.  State Water Contractors sued in March 2009 claiming that the United States Department of the Interior and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), challenging regulatory restrictions placed on the state's water operations.

Long ago Herman Kahn warned of the dangers of the radical environmentalist movement.  And we've seen the results of radical leftist environmentalist meddling.  While the Chinese move to drill for oil in US territory, the Obama administration and their cohorts in the Democrat-controlled Congress are standing in the way of drilling for badly needed oil.

We've essentially stopped building nuclear power plants because of a movie, The China Syndrome. Twelve days after its release the incident at Three Mile Island happened. Coincidence?  Maybe or maybe not, but it seems strange that the movie came out right before the the incident and made a lot of money.  Propaganda that pays is the hallmark of modern Leftist propaganda especially in the Hollywood Lefist community.  Most of the plum roles and work go to Hollywood lefties like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Tom Hanks.  Political correctness has its benefits.  

 In January of 1969, Union Oil's Platform A blew up and spilled 80,000 to 100,000 barrels of crude oil onto the shores of Santa Barbara County in California.  Since then there are no more offshore platforms within view of the beach homes of many wealthy liberal elitists. Coincidence?

This brings me to my favorite topic--bashing the flawed philosophy of socialism.  My problem with socialism is that it tries to turn men and women into equal, mediocre worker bees.  Meanwhile, the elitists, i.e., those with Ivy League degrees and the old line plutocrats will run things because you the average citizen doesn't understand how things work.  They will call you teabaggers, absolutists, or extremists when they're being polite.  You'll find the Marxist Neanderthals of the Democrat (sic) party plying their irrational intellectual vomit in the hate-filled Daily Kos, which is not exactly a repository of moderate thinking (sic).  But that is the base of the Democrat Party. Village idiot-in-training, Joe Biden said, "This has never been a place that has embraced extremism on the left or the right."  Right you are Joe, except that two of Obama's Czars have recently quoted noted philosopher and über humanitarian Mao Zedong. If you really want to get a picture of what life would be like under a liberal plutocracy/technocracy read Brave New World. If you want to know what life in America will "perfect" into after eight years of the Obama Captivity just look at the mess Robert Mugabe has made of Zimbabwe. 

It turns my stomach to know that it can happen here and is happening now.
