America stood for freedom…
Andrew Cline has a sterling column n what America stood for because His Oneness succeeded to the throne as President of the Universe.
We have a long way to go, but a small, tireless minority can get us there. Climb on board!
Who’s scrubbing the internet archives?
Strange things are happening. Suspicious amounts of internet material is simply vanishing. Hmm…
You don’t have to be a conspiracy to find your credulity strained. I became curious after reading the East African Sunday Standard from 2004 saying Obama was Kenyan-born, so I went back and found the original front page of that issue, and it did indeed list the corresponding article. Then I went a-searching for what that newspaper might have had to say upon the occasion of His Oneness winning the Democratic primary. I found several references to articles fulfilling my requirements, but none of the links worked, even in the Wayback Machine.
And neither did the newspaper’s own archives. As Alice said, it gets curiouser and curiouser, doesn’t it?
House passes Obamacare…
220 to 215 passes an unconstitutional bill. It got a single Republican vote (from Joseph Cao), and 39 Democrats voted against it.
Having listened off and on to Democrats setting new records for lying on the floor of the House, I eagerly await the posting of the manager’s mark so we can see who was bribed by the leadership to vote “Yea” on this obscenity of a bill.
The Democratic leadership had a fine time at their victory press conference, almost as if they were truly unaware that 72% of the public wants nothing to do with this bill.
UPDATE: Final vote results, here.
Shout-out vs. deaths…
What do you make of a president who gives a 2-minute shout-out before he mentions Fort Hood?
Those in the military who had their suspicions found them confirmed by this performance. His Oneness and Our Lady of Perpetual Dissatisfaction will find very formal, very careful military correctness at Fort Hood. They won’t find anything approaching the fawning adoration they have come to expect as their due. Oh, there will still be a sea of non-whites as a backdrop for the President, and no one will say anything inappropriate aloud, but Obama has blown his chances with many in the military. They will do their duty, but they will never again believe his claims to care about those in service.
Health reform debate…
The best line from the current Pelosicare debate:
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX): “If the IRS and Medicare Had a Baby, It Would Look Like This”
Do watch the video.
W and Laura…
His Oneness must be very annoyed by this news. How rude of the Bushes to make a private visit without publicity — it might remind someone that they and others in that administration made many unadvertised trips to visit wounded warriors and their families.
Obama is at Camp David this weekend…..
69 Democrats…
Republican Whip Eric Cantor has helpfully produced a list of the 69 Democrats who have expressed reluctance and concern over the health reform bill Speaker Pelosi is trying to browbeat them into voting for.
Print it out and start calling, especially if you’re in one of their districts. The goal is to keep the bill off the floor, not depend on Senate wusses to kill it.
Hoyer is pushing back the vote. Call!!
Fort Hood and Islam…
You have to experience some stress to get post-traumatic stress syndrome. For some it’s enough to be shot at, for others it’s having the man next to you die. Most military personnel never suffer from it. If you are shouting “Allahu Akbar” while shooting your fellow soldiers, you are not suffering from PTS, but from an excess of warped religious fervor.
I have always considered Islam to be an infantilizing belief system which permanently arrests male emotional development. They are like 13 year old boys, even when they’re 30. Nothing is ever their fault. Failure is always caused by someone or something else, or Allah not willing their success. The flip side is that the individual can never claim credit for any success. It is a religion of supreme hypocrisy, clinging to a 7th century system as the correct, pure way, while eagerly using modern technology to kill non-believers.
An old friend was a helicopter pilot trainer at Fort Rucker for many years, and train many of our allies’ pilots. He said that if something went wrong, everyone — even the French! —- would fight like hell to regain control, but the Muslim pilots just threw up their hands and screamed it was Allah’s will. These were men who spoke English and were accustomed to Western ways, many having degrees from US universities, and few being particularly observant Muslims with regard to alcohol and chasing women. In all those years he had only ONE Muslim pilot who yelled, then started taking corrective action.
Islam is a religion terrified of the world, of the temptations of modernity and education and broadened experience. To me it is a wonder that any adherent ends up even moderately sane.
Berlin Wall anniversary…
Is this the reason His Oneness isn’t going to Berlin for the special anniversary celebration? Does he realize vaguely that even with a herd of writers and multiple teleprompters, he will never, ever, give a speech half as good as the one Ronald Reagan gave at this place in service of liberty?
For more on the Wall, go here.
Don’t read, just vote!
Nancy Pelosi is breaking her promise to put the House health reform bill on line for 72 hours before voting on it.
Her weasel spokesman is trying to claim she promised only to have the manager’s amendment online for that length of time. He lies.
The Speaker is in an absolute panic to force the vote before any Democrats have time to contemplate both the New Jersey and Virginia elections and the thousands of seriously angry voters chanting “Kill the bill!” and “Can you hear us now?”
And she certainly doesn’t want them looking into the abortion premium everyone will be forced to pay, nor can she afford to allow a vote on Rep. Joe Wilson’s amendment to force Congress onto the government plan.
Nor can she take the chance they will see some of the great posters at the protest rally (“Liberty, not debt”), or hear some of the Republican zingers (Rep. and Dr. Tom Price — “legislative malpractice”).
And she sure as hell doesn’t want any discussion of a $6 billion slush fund and bribes for votes.
