Obama’s War: Day 1 – Operation Hope & Same

March 19th, 2011 at 6:31 pm by Brian

How’s that change workin’ out for you?

Nice Nobel Prize You Got There. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

Evidently, liberals are having so much fun in Iraq and Afghanistan that two wars aren’t enough.   No congressional vote, no weapons of mass destruction, no nuclear weapons to speak of, no imminent attack on the U.S. or an ally.

Screw it.  Let’s have another war!

Brazil better be prepared too lest our media fire an Intercontinental Bigot-namecalling Missile in their direction for holding violently racist tea party rallies against our black president.   A nation of rotten, filthy racists I say.  Koch Bros. funded, Iranian-coddling Trannyphiles the lot of them.

“Operation:  Odyssey Dawn” sounds like the start of a bad day.  A long, bad day.  A quixotic journey that’s, let me be clear, only just begun.

How about Operation:  Infinite Flip-Flop?

Operation:  Eternal Hypocrite

Operation:  Reluctant Cowboy

Operation:  Shotgun Wedding

Operation:  Guilted Into It

Operation:  Tardy To The Party

Operation:  Working Vacation

Operation:  That guy I was shaking hands with two years ago is the new Hitler.

Welcome to the club, Dumb-0.  The bloodthirsty, Crusading imperialist neo–con club.

I’d say Obama was practically Jewish if I wasn’ t so sure he would slit his wrists and we need him to keep Amtrak Biden from chugging into the President Station.

Speaking of slitting wrists, if I were a leftist who voted for this featherweight junior war criminal I’d have the warm bath drawn and a bottle of sleeping pills on standby before March Madness is over.

You voted to kill innocent people over oil.  Er, well not oil. Over something maybe.  Oh well, may not over something.

More like over nothing.

You elected Obama to kill innocent people and whose excuse for doing so is in no way different than what Bush was criticized over for eight years.

I understand after all.  It’s not like I’ve never seen a hypocrite before.

But no, of course this isn’t what you voted for.  You voted for peace and sunshine and government-regulated sugarfree lollipops.  You weren’t given a real choice for peace.  Obama just lied to you for his entire career about how much his inspiring words could make the oceans recede and the clouds part and the horse shit.

Either that, or the world’s a more complicated place than the highchair banging pantpissers on the Left can nuance into their drug-addled shitferbrains.

Cassandra Was Right, You Know?

Impromptu Weekend Wrap-Up:

Rob Taylor at NewsRealBlog has a good piece up on the 10 biggest financial feces already flung mid-air towards the fan blades that are somehow getting no play in  state-run media.  I’m tempted to cash out my 401k, buy shotgun shells and all the frozen vegetables at Wal-Mart now.

The Happy Warrior himself Mark Steyn is back with his inimitable style focused like an Obamanian laser on the failures of multiculturalism, liberal military adventurism and media malpractice on display after the assassination of two US soldiers at the Frankfurt airport this last week.

Ann Coulter’s working OT in a right-to-work state.  To the union dock monkeys, she’s not from the government and she’s not here to help you.  Which is why I like her.

Card Check for Non-Union Members

March 5th, 2011 at 2:19 am by Brian

The AP state-run media couldn’t go a day without showing their true colors again.

We still don’t know what Obama’s grades were in college.  The election has been over for more than two years now.  No one’s the least bit curious if he was a C student?

Nah, let’s have the Associated (how’s that NFL strike going?) Press sue Scott Walker to get e-mails of supporters from two weeks ago.  After all, they’ve waited long enough dammit!

It’s almost like they’re Obama’s palace guards or something:

Two local news organizations sued Gov. Scott Walker Friday for alleged failure to respond to their requests for e-mails that the governor claimed were overwhelmingly in favor of his controversial budget repair bill.

The lawsuit was filed in Dane County Circuit Court by Isthmus and the Associated Press, which had both filed open records requests with Walker’s office on Feb. 18 seeking to review the e-mails.

“The governor said he had gotten more than 8,000 e-mails as of Feb. 17, with ‘the majority’ urging him to ‘stay firm’ on his budget repair bill,” Isthmus News Editor Bill Lueders said. “We’re just trying to see these largely supportive responses.”

AP reporter Todd Richmond amended his request to include e-mails concerning the bill through Feb. 25.

The lawsuit alleges that the governor’s office violated the Wisconsin Open Records law by withholding the messages and delaying access to them. It seeks release of the e-mails and attorneys’ fees for filing the lawsuit.

Febuary 18th.  It is just now March 4th.  This is where I lose form and say “fuck these ‘in the tank’ motherfuckers”.

We’ve never gotten Obama’s college transcripts.  It’s taken two years for Eric Holder to respond to Congress on dropping the already won New Black Panther Voter Intimidation case.  And yet, because the Governor of Wisconsin didn’t turn his attention away from a budget crisis that threatens his state as much as the union thugs assaulting people in his streets in a near State of Emergency, these anklebiting fuckwits are filing a lawsuit (and demanding that the already cash-poor state pay for the privilege) because they did not get the Governor’s correspondence to them in two weeks.

Two weeks.  A two week delay results in two news organizations filing lawsuits in hopes that they can say that he got e-mails that did not support his position like that matters at all.  He was elected in November.  He’s been on the job less than two months.  He has the support of a majority of the state already and doesn’t need the e-mails to back it up.

His holding the office backs him up.

This is something more nefarious.  They want the names and e-mail addresses of his supporters so they can send union thugs to their doors or harass them at their jobs if they still have one.  Call it “Card Check” for non-union members.  Spam trolling.

Imagine if James O’Keefe had just filed a lawsuit against Mary Landrieux to determine if her phones were working and asking her to pay for the lawsuit if she didn’t turn her records over to him.  In two weeks.

This terrorists lawfare from the Associated Press shows they are out of control and out for blood however they can get it.  When they start slitting Tea Party activists’ throats with boxcutters it’s time to storm their offices because they’re about to ululate “Allahu Akbar” and suicide-bomb Madison, Wisconsin.

Black Congressman Hates Black People

March 5th, 2011 at 1:50 am by Brian

What else to make of this?

Congressman Charles Rangel caused a stir in court Friday while trying to lend his support for bail of Afrika Owes.

Owes, 17, had been a student at the prestigious Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. Prosecutors say she was also a member of a drug gang that terrorized 137th Street in Harlem.

Owes was one of fourteen suspected  “137th Street Crew” gang members arrested last month. Prosecutors said the gang used shootings, beatings and robberies to protect their turf and gain street status on a stretch of West 137th Street. The gang allegedly openly dealt crack in apartment lobbies, near Harlem Hospital and near the Abyssinian Baptist Church.

Nevermind contempt of court.  Charlie Rangel is arguing that a menace to society be allowed to continue terrorizing the captives of Harlem.  And you’d better believe it’s racism if she’s not allowed to keep drug-dealing to, robbing and killing black people.

A court officer told Rangel three different times to sit down. When he stood up again, Judge Edward McLaughlin had apparently had enough.

“I see someone standing who should not be standing, unless you have a bad back like I do,” McLaughlin said. Rangel sat down.

Rangel says Owes was a straight-A student and should be given a chance to straighten herself out.

Why is this senile, old crook still in office?  I thought he was supposed to be kicked out over ethics violations.

Oh, that’s right.  Democrats have no shame, ethics or morals.

Sorry Harlem.   Payback’s a bitch.  You produced the crook that robs you and you keep electing the one that robs us.

This Is What Happens When You’re Ruled By People Who Don’t Pump Their Own Gas

March 3rd, 2011 at 9:39 pm by Brian

Pencil-necked Twerp / Chicom Houseboy to Americans: You Haven't Begun To Suffer Enough For Us To Care

Because $4.00 a gallon isn’t that big of a deal and partly because so many people are out of work that they don’t notice since their 2 years worth of unemployment checks keeps the Netflix account current:

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told lawmakers Thursday that the U.S. and other nations are prepared to tap back-up oil reserves if Libya unrest continues and severely disrupts oil supplies.

“It’s important to note that there is considerable spare oil production capacity globally, and we and other major economies possess substantial strategic reserves of oil,” he said in prepared remarks. “If necessary, those reserves could be mobilized to help mitigate the effect of a severe, sustained supply disruption.

The Treasury secretary reassured lawmakers that underlying inflation remains low nationwide. And he said the U.S. has “considerable spare oil production capacity” it could consider tapping in the event of a “major” supply disruption.

In other words, nevermind that iceberg – FULL SPEED AHEAD! Let’s not break-up OPEC now while they are weak.

Tell us, oh wise, pencil-necked twerp – what constitutes a state of emergency?  Five dollar a gallon gas?  Six?  Ten?  We should wait until the problem has exploded in our monthly credit card statements before we address it.

Can anyone recall an economic boom or recessionary recovery period being helped by sky high energy costs?

When asked how long Americans can expect prolonged oil price hikes and whether longer-term hikes would slow economic growth, Geithner said that was “not something we can know for certain today.”

“Most investors regard this as a temporary increase and expect prices to come down gradually over the rest of this year,” he said. “That would give us more confidence, if that was right, that it will have modest effects on growth and inflation.”

Bill Clinton these guys ain’t.  He felt your pain too much.  These guys?  Not a bit.  Cold and sterile to the 800 lb. gorilla that robs the pockets of the working poor on a daily basis.

Don’t worry about it though.  We’re only projected to have 1.2 million home foreclosures this year so it’s not like you would have spent that extra money you saved on something more important – like making your mortgage payment.

Besides, if things keep going the way they are you’ll be able to take that high speed train to the unemployment office.

 

Where “My Peoples” At?

March 1st, 2011 at 10:05 pm by Brian

What a candid admission.  After stonewalling a Congressional investigation for two years into accusations of race-based law enforcement, soon-to-be Former Attorney General Eric Holder finally snapped and started flexing the Black Panther tattoo on his biceps in front of his mixed race interrogators:

The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.

“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people,” said Holder, who is black.

Umm, is 1960s Alabama on trial today?   Apparently so.  Again.  As institutionalized white-on-black crime is non-existent these days, Holder feels it necessary to put his thumb on the blind scales of Justice and reconcile the cosmic ledgers against Crackerdom.

Presumably, “my people” aren’t all Americans.  “My people” are his people.  Black Panthers making threats and brandishing batons and making racial slurs to voters  in front of a Philadelphia polling station on election day are “his people”.  Being forced to enforce the laws, that is his function, against “his people” is anathema to what Equal Rights Under the Law means to Eric Holder.

Is Eric Holder the Black Bull Connor? His strident defense of the indefensible on race-based grounds would certainly suggest as much.  Like Connor, his unapologetic advocacy of segregated justice has motivated more people against him than to his side.  For a reminder of what happened exactly that sparked the Inquisition of Attorney General Blackie McBlackman, Fairest Sheriff For 12% of Americans Across The Land:

The episode—which Bartle Bull, a former civil rights lawyer and publisher of the left-wing Village Voice, calls “the most blatant form of voter intimidation I’ve ever seen”—began on Election Day 2008. Mr. Bull and others witnessed two Black Panthers in paramilitary garb at a polling place near downtown Philadelphia. (Some of this behavior is on YouTube.)

One of them, they say, brandished a nightstick at the entrance and pointed it at voters and both made racial threats. Mr. Bull says he heard one yell “You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!”

In the first week of January, the Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring voters with the weapon, uniforms and racial slurs. In March, Mr. Bull submitted an affidavit at Justice’s request to support its lawsuit.

When none of the defendants filed any response to the complaint or appeared in federal district court in Philadelphia to answer the suit, it appeared almost certain Justice would have prevailed by default. Instead, the department in May suddenly allowed the party and two of the three defendants to walk away. Against the third defendant, Minister King Samir Shabazz, it sought only an injunction barring him from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of a Philadelphia polling place for the next three years—action that’s already illegal under existing law.

These are the defendants that Eric Holder stood up to be counted with.   Well, defendants who didn’t attack America on September 11th anyway.  In a slam dunk case, waiting for the verdict, he dropped the charges and then has refused any inquiries as to why for almost two whole years.

Now we know.  He’s righting historical wrongs from 50 years ago.   A lifetime ago.

Eric Holder should be impeached yesterday and his bigoted reign at Justice cannot be over soon enough.  As long as The Klan With A Tan is lynching the rule of law, there is no faith in the DOJ while Blind Justice swings from its tree.

Was Mary Mancini Not Available?

February 23rd, 2011 at 10:04 pm by Brian

Ron Ramsey is officially too stupid to remain Lt. Governor of Tennessee. Quite a feat in and of itself.

How else to explain naming a Liberadio-ing, democrat voting, Daily Kossifying, Dave Weigel worshipping, never-miss-an-opportunity-to-cheap-shot-a-conservative House Donkey like Adolph Klanheider to be his Communications Director?

To paraphrase The Godfather:

Don Corleone: [kisses Michael] Listen, whoever comes to you with this Klainheider recommendation, he’s the traitor. Don’t forget that.

You’re going to live to regret putting the enemy in charge of your message, Boots.

Mighty White Of Ya

February 20th, 2011 at 5:19 pm by Brian

O-Tay by me

When is a white person calling a black person “buckwheat” in a political argument, okay?  Why, when you’re of the correct party persuasion of course:

A Broadview Heights woman is accusing state Rep. Robert F. Hagan of using a term that some believe has a racist connotation on a social networking site.

Hagan, D-60th, of Youngstown, used the term “buckwheat” in a Facebook posting Saturday.

He said the posting wasn’t racist, and the attack on him is the tea party’s attempt to make him look bad.

The Tea Party made him call somebody “Buckwheat” on Facebook.  Is there no end to their mysterious powers?

Pay no attention to the bigot behind the curtain.

Crowther of Liberty Township in Southwest Ohio, believes the term was directed at him.

“I was offended by that,” Crowther said.

He called it an odd and inappropriate thing for Hagan to say.

“I felt it was beneath somebody that we’d elect” to say it, Crowther said.

Hagan said it’s an attempt to make him look bad.

“They are so full of —-,” he said. “They’re so negative, these teabaggers.”

He said, “Listen here you full of $#|+, teabagging f@&&0+$ – I’d never call you a N|&&3r”.  Thanks for the clarification, Congressman.

The offending exchange snapshot:

Dear Liberal, Please come to our Tea Party

February 7th, 2011 at 6:51 pm by Cranky

We could sure use your help in getting our elected officials to stop spending so much on keeping themselves elected. I know you’ve lamented how much of your good Blue State money is spent on Red states.

Here is something you can do; come along side the Tea Party and demand that your representatives spend responsibly.

Sure, accusing us of racism and rallying for ideals like marsupial gender-equality is much more fun. But let’s face it, it’s just a cathartic Two-Minute Hate.

I mean, doesn’t this piss you off just a little?

Johnson’s fellow Badger State Republican, Congressman Paul Ryan, has a mixed record on ag spending. While he voted against the 2008 farm bill (which increased farm entitlements), he voted for the 2002 farm bill, which the libertarian Cato Institute says increased subsidies by $45 billion over five years. Ryan’s district has three USDA offices and received $15.7 million in farm entitlements in 2009.

As chairman of the House Budget Committee, Ryan could have a major impact on agriculture spending. Not only will he set the agricultural spending ceiling for the next fiscal year, he will also play an important role in placing funding limits for the 2012 farm bill, which will set farm entitlement laws for at least five years.

Will Ryan be bold and take a red pen to farm entitlements? Or will he flinch to keep farmers in his district happy? Remember, he justified his votes for TARP and the auto bailout by saying “it’s important to keep in mind where I come from.”

Although the RSC has a much-ballyhooed spending cut proposal, they left farm entitlements untouched. Their ag cuts were limited to ending a couple of programs such as organic food certification at $22 million per year. Sadly, that’s miniscule compared to the cash inflows some RSC members’ districts enjoyed in one year in “untouchable” farm entitlements. For example, Tim Huelskamp’s (R-KS 1) district got over $368 million in 2009, Randy Neugebauer’s (R-TX 19) picked up $360 million, and Steve King’s (R-IA 5) received over $216 million. That’s nearly a billion dollars in annual cash payments going to just three congressional districts.

Your voice would be seriously appreciated amongst us fiscal conservatives as we try to keep our nation from insolvency. And it would increase the credibility of both our camps – provided you leave your paper mache heads at home and dis-invite some of the fringier elements such as Code Pink and the International Solidarity Movement.

What do you say?

Why Didn’t Debussy Write Echo Chamber Music?

January 17th, 2011 at 8:55 am by Brian

In a post both unintentionally hilarious and unironically titled “Blindspot”,  a crestfallen Bolshevik laments as to “why there aren’t more full bore socialist bloggers”.  It’s hilarious on several fronts – aside from the supply and demand one that they generally never care much for on any level.

The End of the Left Spectrum just doesn’t have a voice it seems and a slew of big name blogcommies join in to explain why.

No one seems to have tripped over the answer so I’ll provide the Cliff’s Notes:

The national and alt-media subsidizes The Socialist in positions from editor, internet blogger, to research assistant, to columnist, announcer, coffee gaffer, etc.  McCarthyite Blacklists have nothing on the traditional print and television media in the United States from hiring people on the Right.

The media in the U.S. has institutionalized Leftism.  It’s our Rendellian Early Warning System. They’ve generously placed a yoke on their subhuman strength to harness their Stalinist aspirations for some useful (idiot) purpose.  Every year, new Victor Navasky J-School grads till a barren field salted by their previous year’s failures for a wine, cheese and underage male escort stipend.  When they “blog” it’s called “news reporting”.

The Rightwing Pegasus, however, can’t be broken so it still roams the prairie free.

Look no further than the Climategate e-mails from last year.  It was religious blasphemy to even mention the story of purloined e-mails showing Global Warming as a complete and utter fraud in a prelude to one of the more brutal winters on record.  We had to go to Britain to find the story because of the self-imposed blackout in the U.S.

BONUS QUESTION FROM THE COMMENTS:  “But what about Krugman?”

Good question.  Unlike his fellow socialists, Krugman is so uniquely and yet hurriedly wrong about everything that “the unit of measure for how wrong someone is” should be measured in Metric Krugmans.

Public Editor Watch: The NYT Public Editor comments on it’s atrocious AZ Shooter coverage and the name Krugman is nowhere to be found.  Why were they so bad?  Like the AZ shooter, it’s everybody else’s fault but their own.  It’s the Internets fault.  It’s “time’s” fault.  You know, those things beyond the control of an editor.

/Because of 1440/7!

Congressional Dem Seeks To Ban Free Speech – Torches, Pitchforks Hardest Hit

January 10th, 2011 at 9:55 am by Brian

The New Brady Campaign: 5 day waiting period on pitchforks.

They’re not really fascists.  They just ask for things that fascists do in order to keep the public from seeking a redress of their grievances in response to a deaf Congress:

Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) reportedly plans to introduce legislation that would make it a federal crime to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a federal official or member of Congress.

“Perceived” is the keyword there. No more “targeting” an incumbent in a primary.  No more “breaking out the pitchforks and torches”.

For people who perceive anyone who seeks to limit there power in anyway as a threat, lowering the threshold to their subjective definition is an assault on Free Speech and elevates our Kleptocrats to an untouchable status.

I would say to “kick” him out of office but that sounds like a threat too.  See how that works?

*Ahem*  After a spirited contest of ideas, I propose that the incumbent be gently walked from The People’s Office, through a tickertape parade for his years of loyal service and into a limousine where he will be shuttled to a comfortable job that provides both his family and mistresses a satisfactory lifestyle until Nature runs its course unencumbered from the interference of a mankind undeserving of the blessing of his existence.

That’s bound to get those donations pouring in.

Can We get an unsexy Tea Party Rally against Ethanol?

December 11th, 2010 at 8:00 pm by Cranky

I know it’s not as dramatic as donning our Uncle Sam costumes and parading the constitution, but we should be busting into very town hall and busing into DC to end another Cornhusker Kickback.

Thanks a pantload Sen. Grassley and all the Republicans we worked so hard to get into office. I know the real good guys haven’t been sworn in yet, but how about a token gesture that you GOPers are serious?

Almost $5 billion in subsidies for corn-based ethanol and a continuing tariff to protect against ethanol imports were wrapped up and placed on the tree Thursday night for farm-state lawmakers and agribusiness lobbyists.

Let’s take a look inside the sausage maker, shall we?

“The basic issue is that the Corn Belt has a lot of clout on the Hill,” Marlo Lewis of the Competitive Enterprise Institute told TheDC. “That’s the paradox in a democracy,” he continued, “that special interests can play a ruse.”

“But if it’s such a great bargain, why do we need a law to force us to buy it? The answer is it’s a great bargain for corn growers. It’s an incredible scam,” said Lewis. He also agreed that the fact the Iowa Caucus has so much influence in presidential politics doesn’t help things.

Because a final version of the tax deal has not yet been brokered by the White House and congressional Republicans, it’s not yet clear whether the subsidies will be extended at their current rate or at a lowered one, per a compromise bill offered by Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana that would lower subsidy by 36-cents. On Tuesday, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California hinted it may stay at current levels to appease Democrats who are angered over the tax deal.

Come on Tea Party, do we have just one more fight left in us to show that we’re more than just anti-Democratic Party tax and spend, but Republican corporate welfare as well?

The GOP Is STILL Not Your Buddy, So Keep Sharpening Your Pitchforks

November 6th, 2010 at 3:18 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

JG has an outstanding look at how the NRSC – and NOT the tea party – cost the GOP several Senate seats. The fact that they threw so much money down the crapper in California is enough to have them politically drawn-and-quartered, but this sack of evidence proves that, as suspected, the GOP still has no sack. Consequently, we, as an independent conservative base, are going to have to have to hold their feet to the fire now more than ever.

While some GOP boosters continue to make the argument that Christine O’Donnell’s campaign cost the GOP 3 or more Senate seats, the truth is, the GOP establishment’s reaction to O’Donnell winning the Delaware Republican primary, along with Mike Castle’s refusal to then back the GOP nominee, provided cover to mainstream media narratives depicting Tea Party candidates as dangerous extremist kooks looking to bring their godbothering, their nativist federalism, and their erstwhile dalliances with the Dark One to Congress. Couple this with GOP insiders’ more tacit rebukes of Tea Party candidates — made manifest in their decision to allocate resources to more polished, “moderate” candidates like Carly Fiorina (or back Dem favorites like Lisa Murkowski) — and it is clear that, while the Tea Party was helping bring out record numbers of midterm voters and completely energizing the conservative base, the GOP establishment was plotting its revenge on those who had circumvented them in their roles as kingmakers.

– Which is why the day after the election, we had stories about the deficiencies of certain Tea Party candidates, as noted by such staunch conservatives as Lindsey Graham, strategist Carl Forti, and lobbyist Trent Lott (!); and why we hear rumors that major players inside the GOP machinery feel it necessary to bring down Sarah Palin — who, like her or loath her, is largely responsible for the astounding growth and spread of the Tea Party movement.

In reality, though, what candidacies like Christine O’Donnell’s, or Ken Buck’s, or Joe Miller’s have done is show that conservatives in any number of states are willing to buck party politics in favor of voting for candidates they find represent them in principle. It proved that a grass-roots uprising can — and will — buck party machinery, and raise money for preferred classically liberal / conservative candidates by going around the GOP if necessary.

Serr8d points us to this gem of a column. Well worth the read. If only the Rethuglicans will pay heed to nuggets of wisdom such as these. Amputate or die, indeed.

“So you are right – the only hope is radical surgery to cut out all the metastasizing cancer, to amputate unconstitutional gangrene, or another metaphor, to be like Alexander and cut the Gordian Knot with a swordstroke.

“But the question really is not whether Republicans have the courage to perform the surgery, to defund ObamaCare, to defund the entire Obama agenda, to defund entire agencies like the Department of Education, Energy, and the EPA. It is whether the TeaPartyers have the courage and capacity to force the Republicans to. I mean, how is eliminating the EPA extreme, and EPA unconstitutional fascism not extreme? We’ll find out, because they are America’s only hope now.”

Tasty Blue Dog Treats

November 5th, 2010 at 11:35 pm by Cranky

Looks like Henry Waxman gets his way. Hard left politicos pushed their hard left agenda and the Blue Dogs get bitten.

Now San Fran Nan, who the AP finally correctly identified as a “California Liberal” is still bitterly clinging to the notion that she should lead the House Dems. Let’s hope they retrench further to the left.

Pelosi, a California liberal, rejected pressure from moderate House Democrats — and even some liberal allies — who said the widespread defeats cried out for new party leadership.

Pelosi, 70, will seek her colleagues’ support to become House minority leader when the new Congress convenes in January. That would keep her atop the Democratic House caucus, which will number about 190 people next year

It sounds like a win-win for everyone. Best of luck to you Nan!

What a Night!

November 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm by Cranky

Hey Buffet Friends!

This is a great night to be a political gangsta. I just came from the phone banks at the Pat Meehan for congress office. I made about 75 phone calls and rushed home where I am now watching the returns.

Here are some pics.


The remote campaign headquarters/call center in my neighborhood

 


Your humble correspondent

 


These young enthusiastic volunteers came all the way up from Virginia to take part in this tight race.

 


At the “phone bank” table. We were issued cell phones and given a list. About as fun as cold-calling gets.

 


If you believe the MSM, then this “war room” was filled with angry racists. What-ever.

 


I knew I was in the right place

 


What the…? Oh well, let’s just say I’m not surprised that this vehicle is in the handicapped spot.

 

If “purplish” Pennsylvania is considered a bellweather for most of the country, then the Philly suburbs are the Antietem battlefield. If possible, I’ll liveblog the good news.

Note to victorious Republicans on this, the most remarkable race for the GOP in a generation – don’t piss us off! We’re involved this time and we expect good things this time around. I am “cautiously optimistic” to steal a phrase and now that I’m invested in your success, I expect your best.

Corpses, yes Corpsmen, not so much

More voting fun from Illinois.

There may be no story here, but somehow I doubt it. Voting irregularities seems to always trend one way.

My Self-Congratulatory Get Out the Vote Post

October 25th, 2010 at 6:38 pm by Cranky

Well, I finally did it. I volunteered to work on the Meehan for Congress campaign up here in Pennsylvania’s 7th District.

Recall that this was a solidly Republican district until the Great Republican Debacle of 2006. That was the year that the RINOs stampeded out of town and when the dust cleared, Joe Sestak won the seat. Oh well, the spending binge cloaked as “compassionate conservatism” died that year. So that’s something.

So where was I? Oh yes, Sestak is about to find that his ambitious climb from Congressman to Senator is ill timed. But fortunately, it left his district vulnerable and the GOP a good chance of winning it back. I look forward to watching the “purplish” Philadelphia suburbs returning to red and with it, hopefully, some fiscal sanity

I would have been involved in Meehan’s campaign much earlier, but I did send him a note asking where he stood on earmarking and got no reply. At this point I’m going to be cautiously optimistic.

Hopefully, I will have some videos and pics to post of the fun.

Woodrow Wilson – Progressive Pencilneck Pariah?

October 11th, 2010 at 11:16 am by Cranky

Here is a cerebral workout courtesy of the New York Times (I know, right?) on the recent vilification of Woodrow Wilson. My hero, Jonah Goldberg is mentioned prominently since Liberal Fascism deals extensively with the roots of Progressivism.

No doubt, the Left’s hatred of Glenn Beck provided the impetus for this discussion, but, like, whatever. It is a worthwhile conversation and both sides are represented well.

When you’re done with that, check out Jonah’s rebuttal.

Here is my “in a nutshell” quote.

Conservatives see in the Obama administration another great leap in the working out of an unconstrained, Wilsonian vision of government-from-above. And like Americans in 1776, conservatives are responding with the cry: Don’t tread on me!

As the Tea Party movement attests, conservative Americans resent the royalization of American politics that has afflicted much of American liberalism for decades. They do not want to be ruled or “nudged” by a government of their “betters.”

Did I Do Good, Daddy?

October 9th, 2010 at 10:54 am by Brian

Never give a whore an even break.  Unless it’s across her nose or leg for coming up short on your green – know what I mean?

Exhibit A:   NOW, The National Organization for Whores, sides with Jerry “The Pimp” Brown as he backslaps Meg Whitman.

Officially making NOW, Mayor Moonbeam’s Bottom Bitch:

Jerry Brown announced he has received the endorsement of the National Organization for Women, less than 24 hours after the emergence of a recorded message in which Brown can be heard in a conversation with advisors in which someone calls Whitman a “whore.” Coincidence? You be the judge.

As if on cue, Brown’s campaign Friday released the endorsement from NOW championing Brown’s record on women’s rights.  ”As Governor, Mayor, and Attorney General, Jerry Brown has promoted and defended women’s rights,” said California NOW President Patty Bellasalma.

“Jerry stands for fairness and equality and never ever backs down. We have every confidence that he will do the same as California’s next governor.”

Lady Bellasalma said, “Did I do good, Daddy?”  Yea, that’s mah gurl. *slap that ass*

Seeing as how Whitman is a pro-choice, liberal Republican, this pretty much closes the door on the idea that one-off organizations like NOW really stand for women as much as for a far leftist ideology when shielding her opponent for calling her a feminist no-no word.

Back to the future, are Californians really looking forward to returning to the days of Jim Jones and The Peoples Temple?  All aboard the plane, we’re going to Guyana!  You know, of course, that Jerry Brown and a host of other currently elected Californistan Corrupticrati helped sneak hundreds of children away to their certain deaths for their buddy Jim Jones, right?

Moonbeams for Mass Murderers

Your flight whore will be circulating refreshments shortly.  Red or grape?

Palin Hacker Prepares To Run Backwards Through A Cornfield Naked

September 26th, 2010 at 9:38 pm by Brian

If it makes you feel any better, 99% of those corn cobs vote Democrat.

Don’t worry, Li’l Davey.  The state’s going to provide this Kernell all the butter and salt he needs.

A federal judge has shot down a former University of Tennessee student’s bid to have tossed out convictions in the illegal access of Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account during the 2008 presidential election.

[...]

Davies argued it was nothing more than a college prick prank by a rank assbag computer amateur. Federal prosecutors assigned a more sinister motive, arguing Kernell, the son of long-time Memphis Democratic state Rep. Mike Kernell, went searching for politically damaging information but came up empty-handed.

The feds slapped Kernell with four felony charges. At his trial in April jurors rejected a wire fraud charge outright, reduced a felony illegal e-mail access charge to a misdemeanor, deadlocked on an identity theft count and convicted Kernell of the felony charge of anticipatory obstruction of justice.

It’s always the “cover-up” that gets you.  It has dibs. But after the cover-up gets you then Jamal does.

Riddle me this:  If Li’l Davy gets his ass kernel popped in Cell block 6 will it make a sound?  I’m guessing yes.  First a wimper, followed by some open weeping before Big Bear’s squeaky bed springs gently rock him to sleep.  Maybe that will be more “his type”.

Night, night ya jag.  It’s a real shame that a few of your unscrupulous supporters can’t go with you in a show of solidarity.

Kiss my ass, President Obama.

Hi Gordon,

October 1st is fast approaching and it is that time of year when [My Employer] renews health insurance coverage. This year we are going to continue to offer our current plan with Aetna as well as a second similar plan.

Attached you will find a power point that provides a brief comparison of the two plans. Also, attached are detailed outlines of both the medical plans.

The cost of the current plan, Aetna 6.3 POS, is going to increase over 24%. The second plan, Aenta 6.4 POS is only going to increase of 10% from our current rates.Below is a chart of the medical and dental cost.

Kiss my ass Nancy “Let’s pass this to see what’s in it” Pelosi. Kiss my ass Unions who demanded that it be funded with Cadillac plan taxes, but not their Cadillac plans. Kiss my ass liberal college students who agitate for justice as long as the only cost to them is the evening they could have spent watching Mad Men ironically. Kiss my ass Eurotrash who think that Americans are too selfish to embrace big State nannyism. Kiss my ass Blue Dog Dems.

Did I miss anyone? If so, they can kiss my ass too.

Today’s Non-Coveted Endorsement For “Meet The Press”

September 12th, 2010 at 9:38 am by Brian

I miss my Sunday mornings ever since Tim Russert died.  No one has filled the void.  Though Russert was a Democrat, I could trust him to put any blinders away and do his job.  I’m a Sunday morning widower who keeps revisiting an old haunt looking for something to remind me of the way things were.

Where we once had coffee and laughs, there is only another cookie-cutter  Walgreen’s.

When the show’s intro stopped playing he would be looking dead into the camera like a happy hunter.   The first guest was forever his quarry and the first question invariably was a felling blow.  The question of the week that, somehow, no one else had asked yet.  No politician or flunky has been intimidated by a reporter since Russert’s death as the vast majority of the so-called journalists remaining only want an administration job as Professional Notetaker / Water Carrier.

In light of David Gregory’s abject failure at even resembling a Tim Russert cover band, I hereby throw my support to Jake Tapper to take over Meet The Press as we officially enter the silly season.

Though I have never forgotten Tapper’s notoriously liberal bent while a columnist at Salon back the Internet’s heyday, he has earned a shot at the big chair and we need a watchdog who, if he’s not doing it for his country, can at least feign integrity for personal aggrandizement.  We all deserve better than what we’ve been getting.

Unintentional Irony From The Desk Of Martin Luther Bling, Jr.

August 29th, 2010 at 5:24 am by Brian

al-Sharpton, without a hint of irony or expectation of being asked a follow-up question, commented on not being provoked:

“Trouble today? Ain’t no trouble today. We wouldn’t disgrace this day by allowing you to provoke us.

That certainly explains your counter-protest.

Extreme Makeover: Leftwing Bigot Edition

The seven “diamond merchants”  burned to death as result of Sharpton inciting a racist riot at Freddie’s Fashion Mart and murdered rabbinical student Yankel Rosenbaum stabbed to death at the prompting of a Sharpton inspired mob shouting “Kill the Jews” are still unavailable for comment.

We know how Sharpton hates being provoked.  He also hates painting people with a broad brush.  Profiting from crimes he’s responsible for?  He’s pretty cool with that.

It’s amazing that this disgraced, racebaiting terrorist still gets not only a press pass for current comments but one from recent history as well. 1995 was not that long ago.  Especially for a Democrat candidate for President.

Bonus Question: Between al-Sharpton and Obama, who gets to be the moderate?  Sharpton likes his Jews killed through attrition and close enough that he can hear the screams.  Obama wants the entire state of Israel destroyed at once from afar and preferably with zero emissions so as not to pollute the environment.  Discuss.

I Wanna Know What Loven Is (I Want You To Show Me)

August 12th, 2010 at 7:40 pm by Brian

It’s not like we didn’t know what Loven was a long time ago:

From the May 9, 2009 White House Correspondents Dinner:

Jennifer Loven -

“Seriously, there are those who think this center (the WHCA) has really outlived its purpose.  That it makes us in the press too cozy with those we cover. That the relationship with those of us covering The White House and those in it are too easily manipulated.

So, as your President of this Association, I plan to address all of those concerns tonight just as soon as Robert Gibbs spoon feeds me my dinner.”

Once spoonfed, now she holds the spoon.  Out of the mouths of Not-Babes accidentally slips the truth (via Brent Baker at NewsBusters).

Jennifer Loven, an 18-year AP veteran and the wire service’s chief White House correspondent, has decided to put her communications talents to work for The Glover Park Group, a DC-based “strategic communications firm” founded in 2001 by a bunch of Clinton and Gore staffers, most prominently Joe Lockhart, who found themselves unemployed after the 2000 election. She’ll be “Managing Director in its Public Affairs practice,” a Thursday press release from the Glover Park Group, plugged by Politico’s Mike Allen, announced.

She’s the second President in a row of the White House Correspondents’ Association to leave journalism for a left-wing, or at least left-leaning, lobbying outfit. In June, Bloomberg’s White House reporter, Ed Chen, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, jumped to the Natural Resources Defense Council as Federal Communications Director. (My complete Obama-journalism revolving door list.) Loven held the WHCA position for 2008-2009 and was succeeded by Chen.

It’s not a “revolving door” Brent – it’s a revolving sweat stained mattress.  If we held Loven under a blacklight she would glow like Chernobyl.

At least now she’s being paid to be the outspoken liberal she has always been vs. the pretend objective reporter that she’s never been.

I’ve Sucked So Long You Forgot What I Was Good At

August 9th, 2010 at 7:39 pm by Brian

Sounds like somebody found their Magic 8-ball then poured it out on the tray and chopped out some Ashley Biden sized lines of teeth-numbing goodness:

“We’ve got three months to go, so we figure we can politic for three months. They’ve forgotten I politic pretty good,” he said. “I’m happy to have this debate over the next several months about what their vision of the future is, because they don’t have one.”

Let’s make sure our vision of the present is clear before we break out the Ouija board and do a few lines off of it.  Massive unemployment, he’s failed our troops and lost two wars that were relatively in hand, as Carjacker-In-Thief he stole two car companies and gave them to his union buddies, a nuclear Iran is months away, a deteriorating border and the only thing redder than his unprecedented deficits are his Cabinet appointments.

By all means, let’s talk about The Future because Your Present sucks.

Rick Perry offers Obama a shovel-ready job:  Here you go, son.  Dig your own grave:

Gov. Rick Perry welcomed President Barack Obama to Texas with a round of applause—literally — clapping as the president descended Air Force One today in Austin. It was the first time a governor has applauded the president in a tarmac greeting, an Obama spokesman said.

But it wasn’t all warm and fuzzy between the Republican governor and the Democratic president. Perry handed a letter to Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, standing behind the president, in which he charged the federal government with neglecting its responsibility for border security.

Only the most slavish bootlick masochist would try and portray Perry’s backhanded “applause” as something to celebrate.

*Applause* – I just love the way you’ve failed the country like you failed The Gulf during the oil spill, the workers during your Depression, and the freedom-loving world during your Groveling Tour!

On the bright side, imagine what a positive spin they’ll have during the Impeachment hearings.
