This Oughta Be Good

When the insider "tell-all" books from former White House staffers start coming out, I predict that Michelle Obama's childish sense of entitlement and general nastiness will make Hillary look like Mother Theresa. And that ain't easy to do.

Question:

Will the Democrat Party ever be able to nominate a white male for President of the United States again?

Two Questions

1) Will Hillary cry in public when she has to admit that her lifelong dream has been snatched away from her at the last minute?

2) Who will she blame it on? We know for a fact that she'll take no responsibility for it.

3-Ring Circus

Appearances and Ann Coulter's joke about him notwithstanding, its really too bad that John Edwards isn't gay. Think about it: they'd have all three of their biggest victims groups represented - women, blacks and gays.

Watching Hillary (via her subordinates, of course) try to call Barack Obama a "nigger" and still maintain her elitist liberal image is absolutely fascinating. Especially when you consider that Obama has, as far as I know, never once tried to use the race card. In this day and age, when blacks go ballistic over things that have nothing to do with race (i.e. "niggardly") that's unheard of. I give him all the credit in the world for that.

It's not that Obama doesn't actually believe that blacks are a horribly oppressed minority in this country, as evidenced by the racist church to which he belongs. Hell, he wouldn't be a liberal if he didn't believe in the supposed inherent racism in this country. But he has managed to restrain himself on the campaign trail at least.

And then you have Hillary and her fellow man-hating feminist travelers whining about the boys picking on her and not giving her a level playing field to play on. At least when she isn't crying like a little girl.

(I, for one, believe that her tears were completely real: after 35 years of plotting to become the first female President, her dream looked as if it were crumbling within 11 months of achieving it.)

If only John Edwards really was gay, we could have the pleasure of watching him whine about getting the shaft (sorry, couldn't resist) because of his sexual orientation and attacking Obama for being a man. And attacking Hillary for being even more of a man (except when she's crying).

The Democrats are showing their true colors in this race: after decades of preaching to us about how tolerant they are towards others, their power-at-all-costs mentality comes shining through in their attacks on one another regarding the very things which they'd like us to think they are tolerant of.

We on the Right always knew that they were a bunch of lying hypocrites. Now the rest of the country gets to see it, too.

Start the Clock!

It's been about half an hour since this began. Has anyone on the Left blamed Rush Limbaugh yet?

ROCHESTER, N.H. - A man claiming to have a bomb walked into Hillary Rodham Clinton's storefront campaign office Friday and took at least two hostages, police and witnesses said.

The Joys of a Complete Lack of Memory

Correct me if I'm wrong (although I know that I'm not), but wasn't it just a few years ago that liberals were all in a tither about banks not giving loans to "low-income" (just like "inner-city", "low-income" is Libspeak for "minority") borrowers?

The Libs, ignoring the reality of the situation as they always do, were up in arms because loan applications from minorities were being rejected more often than those from non-minority applicants (which, as usual, includes Asians, who are a minority in this country). It never occurred to these Leftist morons that the banks were rejecting applications based on income and credit status and not on race.

And so, under threat of legislation and penalty, lenders were forced to give home loans to people who really had no business buying a house, regardless of race.

And now the housing market has gone bad (or, more accurately, back to normal), interest rates have risen, equity has plummeted, and people with Adjustable Rate Mortgages are being foreclosed upon because they can't pay their mortgages. Why? Because many of them are...low income earners!

So who's fault is it that these people took out loans that they couldn't afford? Is it Jesse Jackson and the rest of the left-wing race-industry's fault for strong-arming banks into giving these people loans that they should never have taken out in the first place?

Don't be silly. Nothing is ever the result of bad decisions made by liberals. Their role in the whole matter has been thrown down the memory-hole, never to be seen again.

No, it's all the fault of "predatory lenders" who were "greedily" fooling stupid low-income people into buying houses that they couldn't afford. The borrowers weren't at fault. In the eyes of the Left, poor equals stupid and easily-fooled (they do, after all, vote for Democrats). They just didn't know what they were getting into. There were too many words on the papers that told them what would happen if they didn't pay the loan.

The Liberal/Democrat Party should really rename itself the Wile E. Coyote Party: they get a bright idea, implement it, and it backfires with disastrous results. And, like Wile E. Coyote, the damage is immediately forgotten and it's on to the next foolish idea - which will also blow up in their face and be forgotten. Ad infinitum.

The only difference is that Wile E. Coyote doesn't blame the ACME company for his bad decisions.

Nothing Shocking Here

Saudi court hands jail term, doubles lashes for victim of gang rape

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A Saudi court sentenced a 19-year-old woman victim of gang rape to six months in jail and 200 lashes — more than double than in her initial sentence for being in the car of a man who was not her relative, a newspaper reported Thursday.

Nothing shocking there.

And here's the link to the story on the National Organization for Women's website:

Oh, wait. There isn't one.

Nothing shocking there, either.

White Like Me

No matter who ends up running in the next election, I am going to vote for a white male.

Pretty racist & sexist, huh?

But millions of black people will vote for Barack Obama for no other reason than he's black.

And millions of women will vote for Hillary Clinton for no other reason than she's female.

So why wouldn't I vote only for a person whose skin-color and genitalia match my own?

Because I'm not an idiot, that's why.

Once a Loser...

Why would the Democrats back a Presidential candidate as psychologically damaged as Hillary Clinton? Why would they back someone power-obsessed to the point that she has broken numerous laws, given new meaning to the words "dirty politics" and stood by her husband as he humiliated her because she just had to be a politician? Part of it is that most of them can relate to that kind of lack of morals. But there's a bigger reason:

They think that she can win.

Think about exactly when the Democrats went completely off the rails. It was the second that President Bush won the Presidential election in November of 2000. Even while the recount was going on, most of them knew that Bush had won, whether they wanted to admit it or not.

It was bad enough for them when Republicans took control of Congress in 1994, but when we took the White House too, it propelled them back in time to their miserable childhoods, when they always lost at everything - physically, socially, academically - you name it. Living life as perpetual losers and misfits is, in fact, what made them into the Leftists that they are today. Just look at any anti-Bush - err, anti-war - protest and you'll recognize the same losers that you went to school with.

They can't bear to lose again. If they're not actually psychotic at this point, they would certainly be so after another loss. It would bring back just too many bad memories and, of course, make them feel bad.

And they figure that they've had enough of that for one lifetime.

And so, they're willing to ignore what an absolute scumbag they would be putting back into the White House. Not to mention Hillary's felonious husband. They don''t care. To them, the end always justifies the means.

Especially when it keeps them from reliving the Hell of their depressing childhoods.

First Comes the Purge

The Left is going after Rush Limbaugh, Clarence Thomas, General Petraeus, Bill O'Reilly and a thousand others with both barrels. Nobody should be surprised: purges are so much a part of their ideology that they may as well be part of the Left's DNA.

There has never been a Leftist organization that didn't feature a good, old-fashioned purge. In fact, they are usually a recurring thing, happening whenever someone new takes (or is trying to take) power. Real elections and the orderly transfer of power doesn't work in a Leftist society. You have to murder (sometimes figuratively but, more often, literally) your rival political enemies. If they thought they could get away with it, those on the Left would have already put all of those mentioned above up against the wall and shot them.

Leftist "revolutions" always start with the purging of those who are not on the Left (they eventually begin infighting and killing other Leftists with differing viewpoints, but that's another post). The lucky ones are sent to "re-education camps" where they are tortured and brutalized. The not-so-lucky ones are murdered outright because their ideas and their stature threaten the Leftists. Truth and ideas are just as threatening to the Left as guns and soldiers.

Make no mistake: Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Noam Chomsky, and the rest of the cold, dead-eyed, hate-filled Leftists in positions of power are exactly the kind of people who have ordered such purges* in the past. And the mindless, shrieking, hysterical dolts who follow them (you can see them at any anti-war protest) are exactly the kind of people who carried out those orders.

What would be frightening if I thought that it were true, is that many of these people apparently believe that we are on the verge of a new "revolution". They mistake the volume of their howling for actual numbers. They make so much noise that they seem to honestly believe that the entire country (other than the Conservatives, of course - you can't have a revolution without a demon to blame all troubles on) is howling along with them. Another thing about Leftists is that they never learn from history. Eventually, as in the 1960's and 70's, they will go too far and they will find that the American people are anything but on their side. We will run out of tolerance and patience and marginalize them into even more complete irrelevance just as we did 30 years ago.

But a large portion of them do believe that their lust for power over others is about to be satisfied. They have control of Congress and believe that the White House is theirs for the taking. And that is why they are attacking their enemies with even more visciousness and lying than usual (and you didn't think that it was possible!). They're gleefully warming up for the inevitable purge.

*That link is from The National Review, April 1977 - 2 years after we had left Vietnam. If you need a refresher on what happened after we surrendered (or "redeployed" as the Democrats like to sweeten it up), it's a great article, as is the website it comes from.

The End of the World

Do you realize that if any of the current crop of Democrat Presidential hopefuls wins, America will have a President that is farther to the Left than France's President???

God, please help us.

The Mote in Her Eye

Steve Sack's Aug. 31 cartoon of Fred Thompson "testing the waters" makes me wonder how the ex-senator would govern if he became president. Although it became obvious to everyone that Thompson has been running for president, he refused for months to declare his candidacy so he could maintain secrecy about contributions and not have to abide by the rules that govern declared candidates. Secrecy and disregard for the rule of law have been hallmarks of the Bush administration. The last thing this country needs is more of the same.
- MARY VRABEL, MINNEAPOLIS

How much do you want to bet that this dolt voted for Bill Clinton - twice! - in the 1990's? And how much do you want to bet that, if Hillary is nominated by the Democrat Party, Mary will vote for her, too?

It can't be conscious hypocrisy. It has to be just plain stupidity.

Welcome to the world of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Letters to the Editor page. If you're ever out of material for your blog, it's a goldmine.

UPDATE: After a brief search, Mary Vrabel's name just happens to turn up on Peacemakersite.org's list of grant recipients. She's apparently (surprise!) a public school teacher in Minneapolis. It's no wonder that she's blinded by ideology when she's getting financial help from a group who gives out money for things like "Restorative Circles", "Bullying prevention", "Respect", "Anger management" and every other left-wing, feel-good fad out there.

Is it any wonder that inner-city schools are crap?

It's Already Started

26 days ago, I put up a post about Hillary Clinton's probable Presidency and the inevitable scandals that would ensue:

To make a long story short, if she is elected President, the first Clinton Presidency is probably going to look tame compared to hers. Hillary's arrogance, paranoia, greed and hatred will drive her to do things that will result in an unending series of scandals that the Right will be only too happy to go after her for.

I should have known that it wouldn't take that long for a Clinton to be caught breaking the law:

DALY CITY, Calif. -- One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.

Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.

A word of warning to the Democrat Party: If you elect a woman who believes that her "vision" for America trumps the law (i.e. the end justifies the means), she will be impeached, and she will be convicted. She truly believes that she is above the law. Anyone who is that arrogant will inevitably leave evidence of their wrongdoing, because they will be incapable of seeing it as wrong. The Constitution is meaningless to someone like her, because she knows what is best.

It's pathological narcissism.

Let the Smearing Begin!

The Demobratz have begun to frame their arguments in opposition to General Petraeus' upcoming report on the progress of "the surge" in Iraq:

Senator Harry Reid (D - Panderland) commented on General Petraeus' upcoming presentation to the Senate today, saying, "While I support the troops, General Petraeus is a baby-killing liar who is nothing more than a minor demon in the Satanic Bush regime. I hope that we can have a civil conversation in the interest of civility and bipartisanship."

Later in the day, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi weighed in on the upcoming briefing by the General:

"David Petraeus is a man and, as such, can't be trusted to speak the truth about his vicious, illegal warmongering on behalf of the Nazis in the Bush Administration.

Granted, I'm more of a man than any of the "men" in my party. Come to think of it, so is our current frontrunner in the Presidential campaign. But you can trust what we say because we have different genitalia than the General does."

Hillary Clinton also gave her take on the situation, saying:

"I've always said that we can, and should, do whatever it takes to win in Iraq. I've never doubted for a moment that the Iraq war was a good thing. And I was the first to vote for the surge. There are records of that vote, although my incompetent staff seems to have misplaced them at the moment.

Umm...has anyone seen Bill? Goddamn him! Somebody check the coat closet!"

In a stump speech in New Hampshire John Edwards was quoted as saying:

"Do I look alright? How's my hair?"

Barack Obama had this to say about the present situation in Iraq:

"We should invade Britain, show them pictures of our nuclear bombs, promise that we'll never use them on anyone and then sit down with Bin Laden and Zawahiri and tell them that we're sorry for whatever it is that we did to piss them off.

If that doesn't work, I'll have my beautiful wife, Michelle, give them a verbal lashing."

We attempted to contact Al Gore for a comment, but an aide said that he was taking confession from carbon-sinners at that time and couldn't be interrupted.

Dennis Kucinich was overheard during an appearance at a Star Trek convention saying, "Gandalf? When might I return to the Shire?"

The Demobratz are ready. I don't think that the format has been finalized yet, but I pray to God that the Bush administration has the intelligence to insist that Petraeus' testimony is televised. Nothing could be better than watching the man answer these grandstanding fools who will be questioning him.

She's Like, You Know, Smart!

For almost ten years now, the Left has delighted in disparaging George Bush for his inarticulateness. But what about Hillary?

Granted, she may be marginally more articulate than Cindy Sheehan but they both sound like old Valley Girls.

A couple of weeks back, Amanda Carpenter had a column over at Townhall.com that transcribed the speech that Hillary gave to one of the "breakout sessions" at YearlyKos. By my count, she used the phrase, "you know" 43 times in what may have been a half-hour speech.

Here's a sampling:

So, therefore, you know, having people who share our overall goals even if we disagree on tactics or strategy, but understanding where we are trying to take our country is really helpful because then it’s not just one voice or a couple of voices, it’s millions of voices -- and you know I doubt you know that we can’t go back and rewrite history certainly, you know (ouch! -ed.), -- but I think about what if we had the blogosphere in ‘93, ‘94 when I was working on healthcare and you know being hammered and they were raising $300 million dollars and distorting everything we were trying to do and we made our own mistakes but a lot of it was you know, trying to do something that was worth doing which we will get done when I am President finally.

Did I mention the flawless grammar?

Yeah. She's, like, totally brilliant. And so, you know, well-spoken.
