UNCIVIL SPEECH: THE CAVALCADE OF INCOMPETENCE

The misses keep on coming from the Obama Administration.  This is the original gang that couldn't govern straight even if they had the ghosts of Founding Fathers to help them.

* * * * *

Drive He Said. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the other day that, "The jury is back, the verdict is in, there is no electronic based cause for unintended high speed acceleration in Toyotas."  This is the same Secretary who, along with the Bungler in Chief, Obama told American consumers to stop driving Toyotas.  This stand was an obvious payback to the Auto Workers Union to help Union-Government owned car makers GM and Chrysler compete with Toyota.  It didn't work.  Chalk-up a major public relations victory to Toyota.

* * * * *

Should He Go or Should He Stay?  Secretary of the State of Imagination, Hillary Clinton says Mubarak should stay but only in transition mode.  Jokin' Joe Biden says he's not a dictator but that the Mubarak regime must lift the emergency martial law. The Bungler-in-Chief says Mubarak must resign and that the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamo-Fascist endorsed by Hamas should be a part of any transition government. (Remember the same call by Carter for inclusion of the Ayatollah in a transition government in Iran?)  If the Bungler-in-Chief is so serious about ratcheting down America's influence in the world; maybe he should follow his own admonition to not meddle and  let the Egyptian people determine their own destiny. 

Hmm, why weren't any of those brilliant (sic) Ivy League advisers smart enough to give the Obama Administration a cohesive policy to deal with this fiasco?  It kind of makes you wonder what the Ivy League Universities do with all of that inflated tuition that they charge parents of the young skulls full of mush?  Is their mission to educate and teach students how to think or is it to be good Obamabots through indoctrination?  If I'm a parent of a matriculating Ivy Leaguer I've got to wonder if this pricey "BS" education is worth it?  Well, maybe if you are going to be an apparatchik of the Obama's regime.

Update: as of publication there is the rumor that Mubarak will step down on February 10th.  I guess Obama is bound and determined to, one way or another, to shoehorn the Muslim Brotherhood into the government.

* * * * *

Mr. Sunshine. Remember Chairman Obama's push for solar power? Guess which major creditor of the United States has become a leading producer of solar panels?  The answer is China. Oh, and by the way, all those high paying green jobs that Obama said would be created are now over there. And they're be done by prison and low wage workers. How's that hope and change working out for you voters that were fooled by this Pied Piper's mantra?

Faster than a speeding bullet train. Chairman Obama is now pushing for a high speed rail system.  Guess which major creditor of the United States wants to become a major producer of bullet train passenger cars? The answer is China. Oh and by the way, Obama is saying that lots of jobs would be created. Yup, and they will be created over there.  A pattern seems to be emerging that when Obama proposes a big Uncle Scammy project, that the Chinese benefit.  Perhaps it's a matter of mutual ideological courtesy.

As this goes to publication, Mubarak is set to make an announcement. Will he go or will stay?  It's for certain that the Obama regime doesn't have a clue about anything.

UNCIVIL SPEECH: UNFIT TO COMMAND, LEAD, FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OUR RIGHTS

Egypt is politically and socially ripe to fall into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. Although the Egyptian revolution at first appeared to be one based upon a desire for social equality, economic equality, and political freedom, it is rapidly devolving into chaos, as the inevitable power vacuum begins to evolve. The egalitarian spirit of the Egyptian revolution will soon become cynical and ugly.  And at that point, a man on horseback will arrive to "save" the day.  But instead of the usual military strong man, it is more likely that it will be a radical Muslim cleric.

I listened to Al Jazeera's reporting on the de facto Egyptian revolution last Saturday morning.  (Since last Saturday, Al Jazeera has been thrown out of Egypt.)  I noted that there are some similarities to French Revolution, e.g., a hungry oppressed population turned into an angry revolutionary mob. But unlike the actions of Napoleon who on 13 Vendémiaire (5 October 1795) quelled with force an angry revolutionary mob; there will be no "whiff of grapeshot" moment by an Egyptian general to quell protesters. 

     The army's attitude appears to range from neutral to sympathetic toward the protesters.  

Liberal Fascists like the crowd at The New

Yorker like doing an "in your face" to Con-

servatives when the leftist agenda appears

to be  working according to the Grand De-

sign.  

 This is according to reports on Saturday and Sunday from Al Jazeera that the army was standing down and that some of the protesters were giving flowers and refreshments to the soldiers. Other reports had protesters dancing on tanks.  Obama's initial reactions? Nothing, except for hand wringing and weakly worded press releases.  Now it appears that the ineffective Obama regime is in the slow process of throwing Mubarak under the bus.  The timing is curious, because the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the revolution. So who does Obama sympathize with? Hosni Mubarak? The protesters? Muslim radicals?

  Meanwhile, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is working to get nukes to help spread his brand of Marxism all over Latin America. In North Korea, with Kim Jong-"Mentally"-Il is working with Iran to develop Iran's nuclear weapons. And what does the Procrastinator in Chief of the United States do about all of this?  Nothing.  But that's standard operating procedure for this master of gross ineffectiveness.

* * * * *

Recall how Obama mishandled the BP Gulf oil spill?  It took him nearly two weeks to respond with a statement.  [NN Note: Obama's apparent procrastination seems to stem from his inability to make a decision until he's told what to do.  But who pulls his strings?  George Soros?  Mr. Big?  His teleprompter Hal?] 

     So what were his actions to handle this crisis?  One of his first actions was to send Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers instead of engineers and other first responders to the BP oil rig.  Maybe, he thought that the DOJ's litigation lawyers might plug the leaking hole with legal papers.

     True, Obama did send a SWAT team of sorts to the damaged BP oil rig via his Deputy Secretary of the Interior, David Hays.  At about 54:14 into the video of the press briefing on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Deputy Secretary Hayes uses the term "SWAT Team."  But Hays qualified the mission as dispatching a SWAT team of oil rig inspectors. [NN Note: Oil rig inspectors generally do not carry M-16s.]


     Unfortunately, the Procrastinator in Chief, (a.k.a., Man of Inaction), was without his teleprompter to tell him what to say.  During his press conference the Procrastinator in Chief used the term SWAT team to describe the dispatch of personnel to the BP oil rig spill. But he didn't use Deputy Interior Secretary Hays' qualification.  No doubt, the vacant Obama, probably believed that a SWAT team was swarming the BP oil rig with subpoena.

 
* * * * *

 
The Procrastinator in Chief has also turned a blind eye to the developing Iranian nuclear program insisting that they have a right to nuclear power. This is even if it means that the Iranians can produce nuclear weapons with the uranium byproduct from so-called peaceful uses of nuclear power.
  
     And what was the deferential Obama's reaction to the violent protests that followed the rigged Presidential election in Iran in early 2010?  The deferential Obama said that he didn't want to interfere with the election process in Iran.  Last Friday, three of the leaders of that same protest were hung for their participation in it.  Again the Procrastinator-in-Chief had nothing to say. This is in line with Obama's overall kid glove treatment of repressive Islamo-Fascist regimes.

* * * * *

     Obama's equally ineffective Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is browbeating Egypt's President Mubarak for using the military, the police force and Internet censorship to quell the civil unrest.  According a Fox News story about the civil unrest in Egypt, releases from Wikileaks shows that up until now, the Obama Administration's real policy was to ease up on the Mubarak's police state tactics.  The Fox story goes on to state that:

The riots seem to have been driven by frustration with skyrocketing food and fuel prices combined with longstanding resentment of Mubarak’s heavy hand.   [NN Note: Query: In light of the Procrastinator's reckless deficit spending, could  similar unrest happen here in America when the inevitable hyperinflation resulting from his mismanagement of the economy happens? The average American goes ballistic when gas goes above $3 a gallon!   Americans also gripe loudly when food prices escalate a couple of percentage points ! Is that why Obama wants a domestic national security force? SS anyone?]

Obama's intellectual naïveté has no place in world in political, social, and economic flux.  Is this unqualified man the one that you really wanted to determine the fate of you and your children's future?  He does not have the problem solving talent, common sense or just plain good old experience to deal with the multiple crises happening all over the world.

* * * * * 

     But the true villain in this whole nightmare scenario is the American News Media.  There were definite signs that this man was not qualified enough to be President. There were his ties to a convicted felon that included a questionable land deal involving his personal residence. His relationship with domestic terrorist with Bill Ayers was never examined.  The mystery that surrounds his citizenship has only intensified with Governor of Hawaii being unable to locate Obama's birth certificate.  In contrast, the Liberal Fascist media stooges expended huge amounts of time and energy trying to find an picture of George W. Bush allegedly high on cocaine "playing air guitar" in his underwear.

There is major social and political unrest in Ireland, Tunisia, Jordan, the Russian Federation, Britain, Mexico, and Spain, to name a few. So is this the time to have a rank amateur as President of the United States?  This is a danger to the national security of the United States.  Consider the following questions as to the qualifications of Barack Hussein Obama to be President of the United States:

• Is this the time to have as President, a man that has never run anything in his life? He was never a governor, a mayor of a major American city, or even a CEO of a major company.  Yet, Obama's operatives in the stooge media had the audacity to claim that former Governor and Mayor, Sarah Palin did not have any executive experience! 
• Is this also the time to have as President, a man whose major preoccupations appear to be his Sunday morning pick-up basketball game, dates with his wife on the taxpayers dime, eating greasy hamburgers with foreign dignitaries, and listening to his own voice echo in large speaking venues?
• Can we afford to continue "on the job training" for this ineffective President?

Finally, if you still do not believe that Obama is dangerous to our national security, think about why he might want the power to shut-down the Internet: Hosni Mubarak has tried to control the de facto Egyptian revolution by shutting down Internet access.  Do I have your attention yet?

* * * * *

Late Bulletin: Hosni Mubarak announced today (02/01/2011), that he will not run for re-election in September 2011. It's unclear whether that will satisfy the protesters' demand that he step down from power.  They want him gone now!  

UNCIVIL SPEECH: Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose. (Translation: The Republicans are still inept.)

Just when you think that progress was being made toward putting America back on track, the Republicans are (mis)managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It's almost as if the November elections had never happened.

     Using a sports analogy, there's an old adage that good football teams find ways to win games. Bad teams always manage to lose games despite going into halftime with a 21-point lead. The Republicans are the bad team in this political football game.  Here are a couple of examples of Republicans fumbling the ball and turning it over to the Democrats.

Turnover One:  Speaker of the House John "The Brawler" Boehner couldn't--"off the top of his head"--come up with any cuts  that he would make to the budget. House Majority Leader Eric "Re" Cantor weakly asserted on Meet the Press that "everything is on the table" in response to  media lackey David Gregory's question as to what the Republicans would cut.  Come on guys. How about abolishing useless Federal Departments like the Department of Education, which does little or nothing to educate and the Department of Energy, which doesn't do much to produce even one quart of oil?

Turnover Two: Agreeing to sit with Democrats at the State of the Union address to promote unity and civility. This is the latest stupid thing that Republicans have done.  Democrats and their media stooges are claiming that the American public wants unity and civility between the two parties. This is a faux issue being promoted by them to mute the magnitude of the November electoral victory led by the Tea Party.  The Democrats have always been more adept at political optics than the Republicans.

  
  The 1964 presidential election featured Lyndon Johnson's "Daisy Girl" campaign ad slandering Barry Goldwater as a warmonger that would cause global themonuclear war. The Democrats have always worked hard on perfecting their political "optics" in order to push their Liberal-Fascist agenda forward. 

  For Obama's State of the Union address, the "optics" were designed to show that the Democrats didn't really get beaten soundly in last November's elections, i.e., they still run the show. 

  The Democrats also attempted to stifle any dissent at the State of the Union address. It was the Barry Obama show--a listless melodramatic operetta using a tired 19th century social and economic socialist libretto.

  Had the Republicans not agreed to dilute their numbers, the public would have seen how much a minority party the Democrats are. Luckily for the Republicans, Obama's speech was a lifeless rehash of old Democrat themes.

  Except for jury-rigged opinion polls and lame stream cable media stooges like know-nothing Ed "Sgt." Shultz and Chris Matthews, who fawned over Obama like Dobie Gillis' wannabe girlfriend Zelda, many objective observers felt that the speech was flat.

     But these days the Democrats can only win elections through vote fraud, lies, and deception with the enthusiatic cooperation of an increasingly unethical news media. But there's an old saying that says that no one does anything to you that you don't allow them to do to you. We'll remember that in November 2012. 

NAFTA'S HATE SPEECH RANT: THINGS THAT WE COULD DO WITHOUT...

There are many things that America could probably do without.  Rid America of these pesky things and our country might eventually return to greatness--or not.  Below is a partial list of things that are totally screwing up America. 

Be gentle with me, please...

• TSA.  Pictured at the right is a possibly terrorist nun from the radical Carmelite order being frisked by a TSA employee.  It has long been suspected that bread baked by the Carmelite nuns for Holy Communion may contain traces of baking powder, which is an ingredient used in the making of Gut bombs.  These Gut bombs, also known as double bacon chesseburgers, are found in American fast food restaurants.  The Gut bombs are volatile, often causing noxious methane explosions after their consumption by suicidal flatulation bombers.  Baking powder is found in the buns of these double cheeseburgers.  Perhaps the TSA employee in the picture expects to find baking powder residue on the nun's buns.   By the way, Carmelite nuns rarely get out much making them even more suspect.
• CAIR.  The Council on American & Islamic Relations can be a real bear when it comes to imposing Sharia law on the United States.  But instead of going through the long process of passing a Constitutional amendment, the CAIR bears are misusing the court process to try to establish Sharia law.  Aided by hack, mentally impaired, America-hating, Liberal-Fascist judges that misinterpret the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment; the CAIR bears seem to be on their way to establishing their religion as the American religion.  So it seems that the Establishment Clause applies only to Christians.  Perhaps these stupid judges had their law school transcripts locked up to hide their legal ineptitude, (just as Obama has done), when they were going through their confirmation hearings.
• Lawyers.  This is one half of the two professions that ruined America in the last half of the 20th century.  From frivolous lawsuits for breach of contract caused by broken dates to class action lawsuits resulting in millions of dollars to the lawyers and $8 payouts to damaged plaintiffs--these plaintiffs are left with the agonizing decision of what to do with their big $8 payout.  Should they go to Europe, buy a new car, or should they buy some "40s" to drink as they share their good fortune with their family and friends?  (Steel Reserve 111 and Mickey's Big Mouth are street favs.)  Picture a bloodsucking parasite and it would still make a better human being than the average lawyer.
• Accountants.  This is the other half of the two headed hydra that ruined America.  Accountants are the least educated "professionals" operating in America.  But yet they still wield huge power.  They are the jack-offs of all trades.  They practice medicine when they deny patients allegedly "costly" but vital medical procedures from HMOs. (Get ready for ObamaCare folks.)   They "interpret" tax law everytime that they fill out a tax return.  (They are also the butt-wipes that devise those labyrinth-like computation forms used to fill out your "1040"!)  They are amateur pharmacists when, based solely on cost and not effectiveness, they determine which drugs will be on the drug formularies of health insurance plans.  They even make artistic decisions when we get those unimaginative serially bad movies with numbers in the title.  Hollywood made much better movies before accountants completely took over the financial end of studio business.  What Shakespeare should have said is, "First, kill all of the bean counters!  Then we'll kill all of the lawyers!"
• Chinese Junk.  Aren't you a bit tired of expensive, crappy consumer goods made in China?  American businesses justify the manufacture of goods in China by saying that the labor costs are cheaper in China.  Yeah, that old forced labor is a lot cheaper.  (You can bet the ranch that some short-sighted, dumb ass accountant is responsible for this brain fart.)  And to what end are labor costs being cut?  The consumer still pays twice as much for half as much.  Right now I'm struggling with a lousy Chinese made toilet flushing mechanism that didn't last a month before its poor quality manufacturing became apparent.  I've also had a blood pressure monitor from Oregon Scientific, (that's as American as the product got), prematurely peter out on me.  What's maddening is that I didn't use the product all that much.  (I also have a box full of other shoddy electronics made in China that don't work.)  Let's hope that the Chinese don't start making Trojan condoms.  Oi vey!  They almost killed Fido and his fellow canines with their poisonous dog food.  Speaking of poison, they used lead based paint on toys for American tots.  But lack of health and safety standards (or any standards at all) hasn't stopped the Chinese economic juggernaut.  Enough already please.  America grow a pair and start making your own stuff again.  And while you're at it, kill some accountants and lawyers.

As soon as my blood pressure levels off, I'll provide another list of things that America could do without.  Oh damn, I don't have my crappy Chinese-made blood pressure monitor anymore!

NPR's THOUGHT POLICE

The firing of Liberal news analyst Juan Williams by the taxpayer AND George Soros-funded NPR last week unleashed a firestorm of negative reactions.  Williams had the audacity to express his opinion about his discomfort at seeing Muslims boarding a plane.  But nowhere among the voices crying foul over the wrongful termination of Williams were Liberal civil rights organizations like the ACLU or NAACP.  Instead, Williams found his strongest supporters surprisingly among allegedly intolerant, racist, islamophobic, homophobic, fascist (sic) conservatives.  Well, it's maybe surprising to the numb-nuts that regularly watch and actually believe that MS-NBC, CNN, and the other Liberal-Fascist alphabet networks truthfully report the news.  

The NPR Thought Police however determined that Juan Williams was not being politically correct!  But many of us justifiably feel the same way about those--but not all--Muslims that appear to be unpredictably hostile, intolerant, and violent towards those of us that aren't of their religious faith.  Fox News, in an "in your face" to NPR, signed Williams to multimillion dollar 5-year deal.  That's a pretty bigoted act by an allegedly conservative network that has been called a danger to freedom of speech and our political process by Liberal-Fascist chuckle heads.  Fox just follows journalistic ethics most of the time instead of being a spokeshole for the Liberal-Fascist agenda.

The true danger to free speech is the corporate culture at NPR.  They are true Orwellian thought police in every sense of the word.  They will not tolerate any view that varies from their elitist Leftist view of the world.  They will ridicule, harass, slander, and economically harm anyone that opposes their leftist orthodoxy.  While I'm not fond of whining as many Conservatives do that, "had this been Fox News then they would have been pilloried..." the comparison is almost unavoidable.  NPR has allowed its other fair haired and fair skinned commentators to state some of the most vile and hateful speech on any broadcast medium.  Take for instance, NPR Legal Analyst Nina Totenberg expressing her "opinion" that the Biblical God (the One that they otherwise seem to hate so much) would mete out justice in the form of the AIDS virus either infecting Jesse Helms or his grandchildren for his opposing AIDS legislation. There was no firing of Totenberg for this verbal hate speech.  NPR is tolerant of her bigotry because it fits in with their hate filled rhetoric against conservatives. Vivian Schiller, the Commissar of NPR, implied in her statement about Juan Williams' firing that Williams was  in need of psychiatric help for stating his discomfort at seeing Muslim garbed people boarding a plane.  Ironically Juan Williams' comments to Bill O'Reilly on "The O'Reilly Factor," according to one blogger, were a gentle chiding to the host to be more tolerant. 

NPR reacted to Williams' remarks like a drunken bar brawler would react to an imaginary insult.  Lesson Number One: Stray away from the Politically Correct Orthodoxy and you will pay dearly.  Your nice job will be taken from you.  You will be slandered.  And they will try to destroy you.  Just ask Juan Williams.

(Part 3 - Nancy "Nazi" Pelosi & Harry "Hypocrite" Reid) IT'S TIME TO RETIRE WORN OUT POLITICAL RETREADS

 

This is a real easy one.  From her abuse of military transport for her family members on the public dime to her arrogant display of power, Nancy "Nazi" Pelosi is probably the closest thing in American politics to the Fascist Benito Mussolini.  While Mussolini may have suffered from syphilitic paresis (insanity), Pelosi may be living proof that pathological stupidity might be caused by overuse of Botox injections.  There's been no research on the issue.  But one might speculate that Pelosi's skin may have tightened around her skull so much that oxygen has been cut off to her brain. 

Pelosi reacts to a Botox injection in the

fanny.  Is there possible brain damage? 

  Should she return as Speaker of the House perhaps we should proactively invoke the 25th Amendment declaring her to be disabled and ineligible to be the third person in line to become President. 

All kidding aside, this woman is truly dangerous.  She is a total tyrant with vast powers and a large gavel.  She is autocratic and displays vindictiveness when she doesn't get her way.  (This is a common trait of 1960s Liberals.)  They are ruthless power mongers that will stop at nothing to acquire power.  Let us also not forget her statement that Obama Care legislation had to be passed first before we could find out what is in it.  Huh?  That's enough justification to get rid of this dangerous idiot.  There are enough village idiots in Washington, D.C.



Harry "Hypocrite" Reid is a total phony.  Recently, Reid added the "Dream Act" to a defense appropriation bill.  The Dream Act would provide college educations to the children of illegals.  Just 15 years earlier, Reid introduced legislation to eliminate the so-called 14th birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.  Now that Hypocrite Harry desperately needs Hispanic votes, he's changed his tune.  Hypocrite Harry wonders aloud how any Hispanic could be a Republican.  That's easy Hypocrite Harry, most people don't like two-faced political weasels like you.  Leftist political weasels like you were the major reason that after 20 years I left the Democrat party in 1992.  With neo-communists like Bill Clinton ascending to positions of power, there was no longer any room for conservatives like me in the Democrat party.

Reid is also an elitist misanthrope. This is evidenced by his observation that the new tourist reception center at the Capitol is a good thing because he didn't like smelling the vistors to the Capitol in the Summer.  The reception center provides a wall between elitists and "the great unwashed" masses.  Well Hypocrite Harry, we don't like the smell of your political weasel ways or your namby pamby whiny little voice.  (It's uncanny how whiny and wimpy many Liberal male politicians are.)  All things considered, Reid is an embarassment to the Senate.  It's time to send this hypocrite packing back to Searchlight, Nevada.  

(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.

IT'S TIME TO RETIRE WORN-OUT POLITICAL RETREADS (Part 1 - Jerry Brown)

I wasted three votes on Jerry Brown in the 1970s.  Two of my votes were for his two Governorship runs (1974 and 1978) in California and one was for Brown's ill-fated run for the Presidency in 1976, against who was to become, until Obama, the worst President in US history-- Jimmy Carter.  So what the heck was I thinking when I voted for Brown three times?  Maybe it was the fake grey hair  at Brown's temples that impressed me.  He also seemed to be an energetic 30-something that was not like the "old" guys that my Baby Bummer generation rebelled against, (i.e., "Don't trust anybody over 30 years old!").  In the final analysis, Brown accomplished very little in his lackluster eight year tenure as Governor of California.  In fact, the only two accomplishments of Brown in eight years was his giving up of  the Governor's limousine and mansion.  Brown has lived off those two symbolic gestures for nearly forty years.  Other than that he's got nothing else to offer.



It's quite a transition from a "hip"

brooding young man to an

"uncool" grumpy old man.

     But  back then Jerry Brown was a 1970s ultra-cool cultural icon--just like Obama was to a new generation of naïve college "utes" in 2008.  Brown was dating then-hot Latina rocker Linda Ronstadt.  (See picture at right.)  He also cracked jokes to his staff in Latin!  How intellectually cool!  (Today's equivalent in a dumbed down society would be the skilled hacky-sack guy that never seems to go to class or the skilled Play-Station gamer.)   And Brown went to Yale Law School, as did his fellow Marxist travellers, Hillary and Bill Clinton and that meant that he was smarter than the average Russian bear.   In defense of my seeming dumbness in voting for Brown three times, I can always fall back on the defense of youthful  naïveté.  I was young, dumb, and full of rum.

     In the Governor's race against former ebay CEO, Meg Whitman, Brown is relying on the politics of personal destruction.  He's accusing Whitman via attorney Gloria Allred of knowingly hiring an illegal alien as a housekeeper.  Whitman appears to be the victim of fraud by her former employee (falsified documents) and of political slander and libel by Allred and Brown.  It's typical Liberal-Fascist political tactics.  Brown has provided no ideas, no vision, and no prospective leadership.  His pitch is basically that he'll get California working again.  But he doesn't say how he'll do it.  Maybe it's like the way the Obama Care was passed.  We'll have to elect Jerry Brown to find out how he'll do it.  Talk about a Liberal pig in a poke.  I don't think so Jerry.  Forty years on the political public teat is enough.  Grow up Jerry and get a real job.

THE GANG THAT CAN'T GOVERN STRAIGHT...WITH LEADERSHIP (sic) LIKE THIS WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?

As the news cycle unfolds, we find that the Secretary of State of the United States, Hillary "Rotten" Clinton has put the State of Arizona on report to the UN Human Rights Council.  The report noted that the federal lawsuit against Arizona’s immigration enforcement bill is part of the Obama Administration's effort to fight human rights violations. In response, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer wrote a letter to Secretary Clinton as noted by Liberty News Online:

“Apparently, the federal government is trying to make an international human rights case out of S.B. 1070 on the heels of already filing a federal court case against the State of Arizona...The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a State of the United States to ‘review’ by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional...I again respectfully request that you amend the Report to remove Paragraph 95 relating to the State of Arizona and S.B. 1070. If you choose not to do so, the State of Arizona will monitor the proceedings and assert any rights it has in this process. Be assured that the State of Arizona will fight any attempt by the U.S. Department of State and the United Nations to interfere with the duly enacted laws of the State of Arizona in accordance with the U.S. Constitution."

Is it just me or has the Earth fallen off its axis?  Can you imagine Iran's "Little Hitler" Mahmoud Ahmajinedad ratting out his own country for human rights violations?  Ahmajinedad's brutal suppression of the riots in June 2009 in response to the Iranian Presidential election fraud was a prime example of human rights violations.   As I wrote back in April, the Democrat party has honed the art of vote fraud to a high art form.  Perhaps it's professional courtesy that resulted in the Obama administration tepid response to actual human rights violations.  Or maybe it's just plain stupidity

In my experience, most leftists my age often tell me that their lefty politics haven't changed since they were 18 years old.  Winston Churchill is reputed to have said, “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” Well, it's a "no-brainer" as to why our country is in such a bad state--  middle-aged Liberals are running things.

FINANCIAL ABUSE of the ELDERLY...ANOTHER REASON to HATE BABY BOOMERS

In the last three years, three elderly women have disappeared from a nearby neighborhood.  All of the women were widows that were living alone.  But the disappearances were not due to your typical criminal activity.  The alleged bad acts were not committed by hardened criminals but by the greedy and aging Baby Boomer children of these unfortunate elders. Eventually, these unfortunate women lost the freedom to live life on their own terms while others were in control of their finances.  But these perpetrators acted as if their acts were benevolent. When I was a kid my Mother told a me a dicho (saying) in Spanish that roughly translated says, "Don't do bad things and try to make them look good."  Unfortunately, most instances of elder abuse are not reported.  Contacting local authorities is not considered an option by most people because they fear legal retaliation by the family of the victim. People are also hesitant to interfere with what they consider to be another family's personal business.  All that most people do in that circumstance is to seethe with anger over the apparent injustice.  

I thought back to the time when I ran into an old girlfriend on the street.   Over coffee, "K" told me that she had just moved her Mom out of her home and into what we used to call a rest home.  It was supposedly nice because it was in a park setting.  I asked "K" why she had put her Mom in a retirement home.  She told me that her Mom  became "forgetful" soon after her husband had passed away.  She and her brother had decided that their Mom couldn't live in such a "big house" anymore.  Not surprisingly, they were also making plans to sell the house.  It was then that I knew why we didn't click back then, (apart from her irrational leftist political views).  A frightening character trait of most leftists is a certain cold detachment toward the elderly.  For a brief flash I saw that trait in her.  I could have been wrong but there appeared to be no squeamishness in sending her Mom to a rest home.  Conveniently, and for a price, she became another person's responsibility.  The rationalization was that it was nice clean place with lots of people her own age.  Another dicho from my Mother came to mind, "Even if it is made of gold, a cage is still a cage."  

This cold detachment is  epitomized in the Health Care Reform legislation passed by the most radical leftist Congress in history.  This legislation, which reduced the Medicare budget is the beginning of the classification of the elderly as disposable people.  Here is the egotist and Baby Boomer, Barry Obama at his coldest discussing health care for the elderly.  Apparently, the Egotist doesn't think that he'll ever get old. 

 

There was also a similar scenario with the other three widows that I had also seen with "K's" Mother.  The First Act:  "Memory loss" events committed by the elder are overblown.  You can hear the refrain, "Oh she/he could have burned the house down by leaving the stove burners on!"  (Query:  Who hasn't forgotten something on the stove or left water running? I remember a 22-year old college acquaintance of mine that "forgot" that she had left the bath tub water running in her second story apartment while she talked on the phone with her boyfriend.)   If most people were called to account for their worst memory lapses all of them would probably be eligible to be put in a home for the mentally infirm.

Second Act: the Boomer children either start "visiting" more frequently or move in.  Their first serious move is to take the car keys away from the elder to isolate the elder.  Then there is the subtle suggestion that grows into an oppressive mandate to sell the elder's home and move into a senior home (read warehouse) to be with other people their age.  There's the rub.  The residential home is the one asset that has increased in value in the last 40 years.  Many homeowners look at their home as their financial nest egg.  But overextended by huge credit card debt and a bad economy, desperate Boomers are looking to their aging parents to bail them out of their immature life/financial choices.  But they don't want to wait for the will to be read--that would be inconvenient.  It is a perfect breeding ground for financial abuse.

What's apparent here are the differences in the world view of the Baby Boomers and the Greatest  Generation.  Boomers make decisions based upon personal convenience.  There are many Boomer women and men that have opted for abortion because having a child would have inconvenienced their long term career/life plans.  But nine months is a short time in the continuum of life. To make the decision to participate in institutionalized murder requires some serious thought.  But true to form, many Boomers took the easy way out and chose not to be inconvenienced.  

To many Boomers, credit card debt is an  inconvenience to dealt with, often by using other people's money.  The easy way out is almost always the "choice" of Boomers.  It takes character to not take the easy way out.  It's rare when a  Boomer either "toughs it out" or acts like a "stand-up guy or gal.  Most Boomers are either seeking to obtain a lifestyle they were unwilling to work or save for; or they look to get themselves out of a financial pickle by grabbing their parents' life savings and their homes. There is no respect by Boomers for the sacrifice and hard work of their parents.  After all they are the ones that they have been waiting for and they've waited long enough for their entitlement.  Once again, the leftist entitlement mentality that has  engulfed American society for the last 45 years has poisoned the well.

My Mother did the right thing with her Mother  (and my Grandma).  She left her to live her life in her own house until she passed away at 92.  My Grandma lived a full life, including being in a knitting circle that included the matriarch of the legendary Guerrero pro-wrestling family.  My Grandma was treated  like a fully functioning adult by my Mother.  But that's because my Mom was a product of the Greatest Generation.  They respected their elders and treated them with respect.  That's what most any human being deserves--respect until they take their last breath on Earth. 

My two favorite living non-relatives on Earth are Bronx native "Uncle Bill" and "Tony" the former  Brit banker.  They are gentlemen--(in every sense of the word)--in their mid-90s.  Both are independent and have active lives, i.e., they both have girlfriends considerably younger than them.  I hope that I end up having lived the quality life that those two gentlemen have lived by the time I take my final breath.

If you believe that there is elder abuse going on wherever you are, then  go to the National Center on Elder Abuse website to get guidance as to what to do. Finally, in the spirit of full disclosure, I am a Baby Boomer. I am deeply ashamed of my generation and how they have screwed up beyond recognition all things wonderful about America. (That's my cleaned-up, expanded version of the old acronym FUBAR).
