Can The Lie Come True?

    “You lie!” Yelled the indignant Congressman from the Palmetto State. To me, this statement was probably Rep. Joe Wilson’s greatest contribution to representative democracy since his election. It was factually accurate, succinct, impossible to misunderstand and true in almost every philosophical sense that the problem can be examined from. Predictably, Joe Wilson was therefore savaged by over-credentialed morons like “Cow School” Keith Olbermann. President Barack | Read More »

    Civilization V: Revolt of the People

    When video game designer extraordinaire, Sid Myers released Civilization IV, he became personally responsible for a great loss of productivity and the growth of much sloth and indolence amongst the American Nerd Class. Yep, CIV IV was that farkin’ cool! Accolades aside, the entire premise of Civilization IV involves a player taking over a society in 4000BC and serving as an omnipotent Demi-God. As that | Read More »

    A Special Relationship Dies

    On 20 August, 2009, US President Barack Obama received a hard lesson in why you do not needlessly belittle and offend long-standing diplomatic allies. One of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s risible, clown-show lackeys released Libyan Abel Basset Ali Megrahi – the mastermind of the Lockerbie bombing.

    This 1988 Pan-AM airline bombing killed over 100 Americans. Thus, al-Megrahi’s release was a slap in the face to America, but it didn’t constitute a gratuitous insult. If Barack Obama’s behavior towards the British didn’t facilitate this travesty, his conduct certainly may have earned it.

    The CIA is Not Your Dog. Do Not Wag It.

    How badly has this healthcare plan debate gone for the Obama Amatueristration? So badly that they had to start making noises about arresting Dick Cheney. Well, they haven’t sunk far enough down in the polls to go that far, but they all of a sudden decided that NOW! Was the perfect time to take up the issue of CIA interrogations of suspected terrorists. CNN describes the coming witch-hunt.

    Attorney General Eric Holder has asked federal prosecutor John Durham to examine whether CIA interrogations of suspected terrorists were illegal, the Justice Department announced Monday.

    The move came as senior administration officials said President Obama had OK’d a special interrogation unit to be housed within the FBI, and as a redacted CIA inspector general’s report on interrogation methods was made public for the first time.

    This, of course, is the same Attorney General Eric Holder who previously told us the following.

    ‘It would be unfair to prosecute dedicated men and women working to protect America for conduct that was sanctioned in advance by the Justice Department.” –Attorney General Eric Holder, April 2009 (HT: Wall Street Journal.)

    Beelzebubba Bears False Witness Against The Bright and Shining Won.

    Please allow me to introduce myself

    I’m a man of wealth and taste

    HT: (M. Jagger/K. Richards)

    Its official, Ladies and Germs: I’ve gone and done it! Never in my sordid and mediocre life have I fallen any lower. I have blogged the Obama Healthcare plan and I’ve born false witness. Yeah, that’s the ticket! I’ve born false witness. Being that I’m white, Southern, Conservative and strongly opposed to this piece of legislation, I guess that brands me as Beelzebubba.

    The Pigeon within the Confidence Man

    Leading a Leftist political movement must be akin to coaching an SEC Football Team or working as a stand-up comic. Past performance counts for very little, and the time to produce is always now, now and Now! The Community-Organizer-In-Chief has just discovered that last week’s fishes and loaves miracle no longer impresses the yearning masses. The Hope and Change was supposed to happen in real time, which rational people understand is impossible.

    But Barack Obama deliberately whipped up an unthinking movement. Nothing he did, said or proposed appealed to any sort of prolonged ratiocination. He should have known the stakes before he took the gamble. But he didn’t. Instead, there was a big, fat pigeon hiding inside America’s most successful political confidence man.

    Some of The Sleeping Awaken; Some Still Loudly Snore…

    I can ignore the extent to which I oppose our current President’s policies and deplore many of his disingenuous thug tactics when evaluating his ability to light up an audience with his rhetoric. President Obama has a talent to accomplish two seemingly contradictory goals. He fires up the radicals while simultaneously lulling the moderates to a trusting sleep.

    Now all is not well in the kingdom of Hope and Change and those who believed in his promises must face a decision. They can take a leap of faith and write off flag@whitehouse.com as a necessary evil to accomplish vital reform. Or, they can wake up and smell the asphalt; as citizen protestors are accused of being Astroturf Nazis.

    The Taxman Cometh, as Another Obama Promise Passes its Expiration Date.

    So Barack Obama promises the Moon. He also tells us we don’t even need to pay for the rocket. His budget goes far beyond even the most positive year of tax revenues in recent history. He can’t even execute said budget without a 17% cost overrun.

    This leaves him short a projected $1.2Tr. in Federal Revenues next year if the stupidity continues. The stupidity will continue until moral improves. The Taxman cometh. If you feel a couple of pounds lighter next year, that’s your wallet, not a successful combination of exercise and diet.

    Why, Oh Why Did America Take The Blue Pill?

    The Democrats demand the centralization of power. The promises they bandied so freely during the silly season of campaigning are all negotiable. They remain liable for betrayal in furtherance of that overdetermining directive. They will have power. They will assume control.

    “What is the Matrix? Control.” – Morpheus

    To look at what the Democrats actually propose is to see their lust for unbridled control. This autocratic overdrive stands revealed in the hard black and white print of legislation before the houses of Congress. The Democratic Party’s domineering contempt for limited government became blindly obvious during the debate over Cap and Trade Legislation.

    Of Socialism and Sedatives (Bedtime for Democracy)

    The President assures us all that things are OK and that we all can ignore arguments against his policies. Relax, and go back to sleep America. Take the sedatives and socialism won’t hurt a bit. If we the people allow it, the Obama Administration can be a cozy, relaxing Bedtime for Democracy.

    How I Stopped Pitying Europeans and Learned Some Empathy

    I figured Spengler pretty much nailed Europe to the wall when he wrote the following.

    They have no ambition but to die quietly, no concerns except for those amusements which might reduce boredom and anxiety en route to the grave. They have no passions except hatred born of envy. They hate America, a new kind of universality that succeeded where the old Christian empire failed. They hate Israel, which makes the Jewish people appear all the more eternal in stark contrast to Europe’s morbid temporality. They will pass out of history unmourned even by themselves.

    If the only Europeans this would effect were the electorates responsible for Papandreou, Chirac and Gazprom Schroeder, I would remain unmoved by their current plight. Stupid is as stupid votes; and the Europeans have used their Post-WWII holiday from responsibility to elect leaders steeped in feckless enstupidation. But that would fail to take cognizance of what we’ve just elected in the Good Old US of A. It also fails to recognize the maundering plight of the current generation of young Europeans. They, like American Conservatives, are hostages – strangers in an increasingly strange land.

    How to Kill a Crazy Idea Your Base Demands Your Support On.

    Thus, Barack Obama has a base constituency to which he promised the moon. He took their donations and rode high on their support. He made use of these people to a fare-thee-well. Now, at the worst moment possible, they demand political remuneration.

    Iran’s Theocrats Raping Obama’s Cairo Initiative For What It’s Worth

    The recent “election” that took place in Iran doesn’t require a PhD in Poli-Sci to figure out. Figurehead Incumbent President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, just stole an election. Protestors have the audacity to protest. They are being dealt with in keeping with the traditions of unconcerned tyrannies.

    Ralph Peters is too old and too politically incorrect to waste his time tip-toeing around the obvious. He gazes upon the “robust debate” occurring now in Iran and writes the following.

    The result was that the mullahs and state corporatists no longer saw a need to play pretend. Bush worried them. Obama doesn’t.

    National Debts and Other Useful Disasters

    The Man-Made ATM Void known as Barack Obama’s economic policy has opened up new and fascinating opportunities in the growing field of crisis exploitation. Like a Conquistador from Spain, appalled that Montezuma and the Aztecs ripped out hearts on the altar of Quetzalcoatl, Barack Obama has just now learned about deficit spending. Boy does the prospect harry him!

    President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.

    The Moratorium on Brains

    I become increasingly convinced that a socialist USA would have no better morals or ethics than the former USSR. There is no decency, inherent to us as a people, that would cause us to pass laws and enact policies similar to what was done in Russia, under the Bolsheviks, and get anything different than the Gulag Archipelago as a result. This new and creepy form | Read More »

    So Funny It Could Kill People

    According to the HuffPo, (Actually, UK Telegraph says Huffpo said this.) Wanda Sykes killed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. I’ll agree with that. If you wanted good taste or judgment, you could find either out back. They’re lying dead in the gutter.

    This is what she said: “Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you’re saying, ‘I hope America fails’, you’re, like, ‘I don’t care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq’. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that’s treason.

    President Obama’s New Foreign Assistance Program

    I imagine myself a cracker-jack vulture capitalist in need of a dandy new investment to beat MARR and make my money work for me – not vice versa. You couldn’t put a gun to my head and make me invest it in the manufacture of wheeled conveyances at US plants. It’s nice when a major corporation full of professional money managers agrees with one of my simple hunches. It tickles my masculine ego.

    Regrettably, that major corporation with $15Bn to invest was General Motors. The $15Bn they’ve decided to invest in Brazil, S. Korea, Canada and Mexico came from US Government bailout funds. Money designed to alleviate economic misery in our country – not someone else’s.

    Canadians Should Feel Angry, Americans Should Feel Deeply Ashamed and Afraid.

    Barack Obama has hired a Secretary of Homeland Security that reflects both the ideology and the intellectual capabilities of the leadership we have elected. Cry the beloved country!

    Secretary Janet Napolitano has disgraced America already in manifold ways. She is well on the way to making Jamie Gorlick appear patriotic; Joe Biden look suave and ethical and Joseph McCarthy appear fair-minded in comparison. The woman even manages to make Timothy Geithner look competent against the lush verdant background of her vastly ineluctable stupidity.

    Fortunately, foreign press outlets don’t appear to be as beholden to Barack Obama as the sycophantic carnival barkers we have taking up valuable air time and space on our domestic networks. Secretary Napolitano found that to be true when she decided to needlessly slander Canada in order to help Barack Obama score more brownie points with the likes of Hugo Chavez. Secretary Napolitano’s insulting dishonesty, sprinkled with blatantly disproved 9-11 Trufferism, follows below.
