The IslamoIdiot pictured is being, as they might say, hoist on his own petard. More precisely, this Islamist camera dude is being roasted by a toasty burning of Old Glory and the Israeli Flag.
The tale of this happy event may be found here. One might have some sympathy for the [...]

The tussle with Rush
Posted in Politics on January 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Kathleen Parker writes today about how the new boss is sort of like the old boss. And that the new boss has gotten into a tussle with someone deemed unworthy: Rush Limbaugh. Here’s my response:
Kathleen, in your column about Obama taking on Rush, you note that Obama is “our first [...]
Naive to the max

John Yoo reminds those who may not have been paying attention to the feel-good but do harm pronouncements of The Rookie. From today’s Wall Street Journal, a few of the consequences of Obama’s naive pronouncements:
The CIA must now conduct interrogations according to the rules of the Army Field Manual, which prohibits coercive techniques, [...]
“I hope he fails”
Posted in Obama on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Rush Limbaugh says it as it should be. He also speaks my mind: I hope Obama fails. Make no mistake: I want my nation to succeed. But I haven’t yet imbibed sufficiently of the Kool Aid such that I confuse Obama’s [...]
Pork you can believe in

The Great One ran on a mantra of “change you can believe in.” Also thrown in for good measure were meaningless words like “hope.” Well, America, you got what you wanted: a rookie who needs on-the-job training, but one whose agenda is no change at all from tax-and-spend Democrats (mostly; [...]

I usually agree with Rush Limbaugh. But here’s something that all taxpayers should not agree with. It is from Mr. Limbaugh’s response to the cheap shot taken by The Great One, as provided by Byron York:
Obama was angry that Merrill Lynch used $1.2 million of TARP money to remodel an executive [...]
Hating God
Posted in anti-Semitism on January 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Kyle-Anne Shiver over at The American Thinker has a must-read article on “Hating the Jews.” The world’s oldest group hatred, it has several possible explanations. None of which stand up to objective scrutiny.
There is one ostensible reason that has the ring of truth to it. And it’s [...]
All you need to know about Gitmo

It hasn’t taken Obama long to unveil his lefty tendencies. One of those is dangerous, in the extreme, for our safety: the notion that terrorists captured on the battlefield need to be coddled by giving them rights that they don’t deserve.
What they deserve is to be held indefinitely unless and until they [...]
Shattered

The gender grievance crowd is alive and well at the WaPo. This morning, just hours before the announcement of the woman appointed to fill Hillary Clinton’s vacated Senate seat, one would have read about how unfair everyone is to women.
Headlined, on the front page no less, thusly: “Does a Glass Ceiling Persist [...]

Now that the Great One is at the helm, and the Dread Pirate Dubya has been banished to flyover country, the glitterati and other self-important folks can support their country. Or so some of them say. Your mileage, as they say, may vary. Go here for some sense of [...]
Not exactly a healer

Not quite as bad as Jeremiah Wright, but apparently a dues-paying member of the Whitey Is the Source of All Evil club. And his dues are still paid in full.
Referring to the crappy choice of Rev. Joseph Lowery, race-baiter extraordinaire, and his hateful benediction, which concluded thusly:

He can’t fail…he won’t succeed

Barack Hussein Obama can’t fail. This is what his many thousands of admirers believe. It is a matter of faith, a belief in something without visible evidence orl proof. Sort of like faith in the Messiah, who Obama has pretended to be during the long campaign.
Today’s WaPo has [...]
“best for their family”

Obama is trying out his wings as a new member of the black community in the District of Columbia. As reported, the Obamas graced an “historically black church” about three miles from the White House.
The WaPo article makes clear at least one thing: any time a president attends a public [...]

…I am a free man.”
The Prisoner, Patrick McGoohan, is gone, dead at 80 (obiturary here). I watched every episode of the The Prisoner back in the 1960s, and, coming hard on the heels of having read Atlas Shrugged, I considered myself to be the ultimate libertarian man.
Ahh, that [...]
“Death to America”

in case there are any Americans who believe that we don’t have a dog in the current Israel-Hamas fight, they need to rethink this. We very much do have a side that we must back. Why? Are we all Jewish? No. We are all Americans, and one [...]

“Stocks Fall as Warnings Flash” screams the headline over at the Wall Street Journal. This is merely a daily reminder of how tough things have been, and, likely, will get.
Along with the alleged end of civilization as we know it due to global warming, er, climate change, the rising (or lowering, [...]
Disproportional
Posted in War and Peace on January 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Just a brief thought on those who declaim, in tones of clear moral superiority, about the “disproportional” response by Israel in Gaza. Numbers are thrown about; so many “innocent” civilians killed in Gaza, so many children, etc. Those numbers are, if past experience matters, almost certainly fictional.
But, the moralists will [...]

Noticed that those who break the law by their very presence in the United States might just be prone to break other laws. “They” in this instance are the liberals who live in and run Montgomery County, Maryland. MoCo is a deep blue enclave, a reliably left-of-center place, a bastion of [...]
“It’s OK to use heroin”

There is a sad but instructive tale told in today’s Wall Street Journal. The story is about those who attempt to help drug addicts, but become ensnared by drugs. And, as in this tale of the late Pete Morse, overdose and die.
The snare appears to be overconfidence in one’s knowledge, [...]

Fault lines

Fools, well-meaning and otherwise, usually insist that we in the West be more tolerant of Islamic terrorists. The worst among them will insist that terrorist groups such as Hamas are not really to blame, it’s always someone else’s fault. Usually the Jews and Americans, in some combination.

This is the subheading on a front page story in the WaPo. The dead tree version of this town’s paper of record has been nothing if not spilling their precious bodily fluids (news ink; get your minds out of the sewer) on the forthcoming Great One’s version of Camelot.

Stupidity

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. So it is with Richard Cohen, a liberal but one who seems open to reason. In this instance, it is the Israel-Hamas conflict. Today Mr Cohen writes, “It takes real stupidity to blame it on Israel.”
Just so. Except [...]

Forgive Obama, that is. What would the Numinous One need to be forgiven of? If, as he promised, he closes Gitmo, and one or more of the muslim miscreants incarcerated therein participate in an attack on the United States. The premise, as written by Clive Crook in today’s Financial [...]

And the hits just keep on coming. The current circus among Democrats might be funny if the nation did not have serious business at hand. But, hey, it’s the culture of corruption and sleaze that urped up Barack Obama, with his Tony Rezko-Jeremiah Wright-Bill Ayers connections and with no visible accomplishments. [...]
