Stars and Stripes and Idiots

2009-12-04T17:03:00.002-05:00

I read about this outrage at Nealz Nuze. What would it hurt to let this patriotic war vet keep his flag? The man is 90 years old, for Pete's sake! How politically correct and petty can you get! He at least shows more respect than they do, and they should be ashamed.

It's Bush's Fault -- Part 298

2009-12-03T17:14:00.003-05:00

More Bush-bashing from Obama. Will it ever end? I doubt it! This is from Jennifer Rubin at Contentions.

"It has become a nervous tic with Obama. Something is wrong, people are upset — blame Bush! Obama is going to need to rely on conservative support to prosecute the war since his own crowd certainly won’t be cheerleading for him. So it would have been politically smart and classy to have credited Bush with the surge or with leaving him the assessment for the Afghanistan war, which he relied on in the spring (the one his team previously denied receiving). But that’s not this president’s style. For reasons that aren’t quite clear — either personal peevishness or political expediency — even in a wartime speech in which bipartisanship would have been essential, he felt compelled to get in his digs. If President Obama seems smaller than candidate Obama it’s because he allows pettiness to get the best of him. He should give it up. He’s now president after all."

Here is another good analysis by Soccer Dad -- along with one of his trademark clever titles!

A Hair-Raising Story

2009-12-03T17:10:00.000-05:00

I was amazed at this story about free $300 haircuts for the unemployed. Even most working people don't get $300 haircuts. Did anyone ever hear of Wal-Mart or Great Clips? This reminded me of the free Viagra for the unemployed -- it's completely unnecessary.

Click here for Argus Hamilton's latest take on the news.

"Joe Biden flashed a big smile in pictures with the couple who crashed Tuesday's state banquet as part of their audition for a reality show. Joe was glad to pose with them. If he can help get them cast in that reality show, he gets credit for creating his first two jobs".

Random Thoughts from Thomas Sowell

2009-12-02T16:53:00.005-05:00

Dr. Sowell has more random thoughts, including this one:

"In response to news of President Obama receiving the Nobel Prize for peace, an e-mail from a reader recalled a black classmate’s comments upon graduating from high school many years ago. When asked to list the advantages and disadvantages of being black, the black student facetiously listed as an advantage 'being praised for infinitesimal accomplishments.'"

What Obama Meant

Here's what Obama REALLY said in his speech last night in front of what Chris Matthews called "the enemy camp".

Grand Rounds

Grand Rounds is up at Healthcare Technology News, and it's a "special post-Thanksgiving edition serving up Seinfeld as the lighter fare after the big holiday meal."

Support Our Troops!

2009-12-01T16:57:00.001-05:00

And speaking of heroes, there is something extremely wrong in this country when our troops are treated like criminals while people worry about the "rights" of terrorists!

Good Riddance!

2009-12-01T16:52:00.002-05:00

This is the hero of the day:

"Seattle police officer Benjamin L. Kelly is being hailed as a hero for his actions early Tuesday morning, in which he single-handedly shot and killed Maurice Clemmons, the man wanted in Sunday's killings of four Pierce County officers."

On Stigma

2009-11-30T17:08:00.002-05:00

Instapundit quotes Mickey Kaus on the stigma of food stamps:

"But a stigma placed on cash-like welfare (which food stamps are) remains a positive sign of a healthy work ethic. If you came across two societies--Society A, in which food stamps were stigmatized, with families reluctant to go on the dole even if they were eligible, and Society B, in which they weren't, you would want to bet on (and live in) Society A. It's one thing to relax the stigma on welfare in times of epic economic decline. It's another if the stigma doesn't return with the possibility of employment."

I agree. Making entitlement programs too accessible also makes them too attractive. Many years ago, it was known as "the dole", and it was considered shameful if you didn't do everything you could to avoid it.

Barking Moonbat has the latest politically correct idiocy from England. So now, you can't call terrorists "terrorists", and you can't call teenaged criminals "youths". Well, I call political correctness "stupid"!

Rally Against the NYC Terrorist Trial

2009-11-28T16:51:00.001-05:00

I hope this rally will be heavily attended ... and extensively coverage by the media. (The former is more of a reality than the latter.)

"SATURDAY DECEMBER 5 RALLY
IN FOLEY SQUARE:
STOP THE TERROR TRIAL IN NYC!

NEW YORKERS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER:
“WE WILL FIGHT YOU ALL THE WAY!”

What: December 5th rally protesting the NYC based trial of 9/11 conspirators
Where: FOLEY SQUARE, MANHATTAN
When: Saturday, December 5th, 2009 12:00 noon
Who:

The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition, a diverse group of 9/11 victims, family members, first responders, active and reserve members of the military, veterans, and concerned Americans, is holding December 5th rally protesting the plan to bring the 9/11 terrorist conspirators to trial in New York City.

The Coalition formed to fight the decision of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in New York City’s federal court, effectively giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of all New Yorkers."

And please sign the petition, here.

On The Wrong Track

2009-11-28T16:35:00.002-05:00

The Times Online describes the murder of at least 25 people on a Russian train as the result of a "terrorist attack" , in quotation marks, as if it really wasn't one. For many Americans, the Fort Hood massacre was also a "terrorist attack".

Just Two More Things...

2009-11-27T15:56:00.002-05:00

Atlas Shrugs discusses the disgraceful,outrageous defense that the 9/11 terrorists will use. Can we please make sure we get the best prosecutors to make sure nobody falls for this garbage? They are evil murderers, not mental "victims"!

And Powerline has a good article about the nightmare of Obamacare:

"I don't believe that Democrats in Congress actually disagree with the majority of voters who expect a government takeover of medicine to result in worse health care at a higher cost. Rather, the Democrats believe that degraded health care is an acceptable price to pay for what they are really after--government domination over the life of every citizen. Whether the American people understand how profound is the Democrats' assault on their liberties, and will be willing to do what it takes to throw the greedy rascals out of power, remains to be seen."

Unfortunately, most voters are morons who keep voting the same politicians into office over and over again. But why should the rest of us have to suffer?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We're eating Thanksgiving buffet in style today at Biltmore's Deerpark restaurant. Michelle Malkin lists the turkeys of 2009. And Dennis Prager explains why Thanksgiving is good for the Jews.

"Wack Friday"

2009-11-25T20:10:00.003-05:00

Here's an appropriate new name for the shopping insanity more commonly known as Black Friday.

"As much as I would love to spend my day off jockeying for a parking space in a crowded lot, I'm going to skip all the Black Friday festivities -- the fistfights, the screaming babies, the screaming adults, catching swine flu, the fender benders, the crowded food courts, the long lines at the wrapping desk and the cash register. One woman told me she does it so she's sure the stores won't run out of the gifts she 'needs' to get."
