Ten US soldiers killed in Afghanistan

Ten more brave Americans died yesterday in that worthless spit of land called Afghanistan. Fighting a war that our media tells us the American people no longer support. Yet that same media? They tell us that a majority of Americans want to utilize military strikes to address the Iranian nuclear threat.

Ten more dead Americans in Afghanistan and what did our president do after receiving that news? Apparently he carried on with his personal plans for the evening and went out on an anniversary date with his wife in Washington. I suppose it could have been worse, instead of going to a local restaurant in the DC area, he could have opted to jet her back down to New York for the date (like he did last time) or even all the way back to Chicago for the occasion. After all, it's not like he doesn't have a fleet of executive aircraft at his disposal and an army of support staff to cater to his every whim.

I mention the presidential date only as a point of demonstrating the context, in comparison to what is going on right now in this administration. Especially as it concerns this president's perceptions of his duties and responsibilities to the people of America and how he approached those duties and responsibilities. Is it even possible to criticize the appearances that this president is purposely giving to both Americans and the rest of the world by his lackidasical attitudes?.

IMO, many of his presidential decisions to this point, have been an ongoing series of catastrophic errors in judgment. And these errors are continuing to threaten the safety of this country and it's military personnel currently stationed in harm's way. He is demonstrating daily his abject inability to lead this nation or to recognize the relevance of his actions or their influence and effect on the nation's safety and our enemies.

His actions are not only having an adverse effect here in America, but also around the world and especially in the Muslim world. Our enemies recognize the weakness being demonstrated and they are acting as a result of it.

There were many Americans Friday who were absolutely shattered over the loss of the 2016 Olympic bid by the city of Chicago and they immediately sought to blame the loss on America's image globally. Of course they blamed the Bush administration for that image, never once considering that president Obama, as apologist in chief for the past nine months, has weakened this nation and invited the collective disdain of the world.

But more importantly IMO, his actions have led to an emboldenment of our enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq and that emboldenment is continuing to increase daily. AL Quaida and Bin Ladin are daily growing stronger and these coordinated attacks on our personnel in Afghanistan are evidence of the new found inspiration that this president has given our enemies.

It has not gone un-noticed in the past two weeks that our president has been revealed to have all but ignored the war and his recently appointed general in charge in Afghanistan. And obviously our enemies have taken note and chosen to increase their efforts and push harder in order to advance their efforts in Afghanistan. They will soon be doing the same in Iraq as we are now abandoning our hard won victory there.

Only a fool would fail to recognize the correlation between what is happening over the past three months in Afghanistan and Iraq and the policies and lack of leadership being demonstrated by this president.

Meanwhile, many of our nation's most precious and cherished resources are being placed in direct jeopardy and killed due to the abject stupidity and arrogance of this man.

My father use to say.....that we should never become angry with people because they were ignorant.  Their ignorance simply demonstrated that they didn't know any better. But he said....... that when it came to stupidity, there was absolutely no excuse. Stupidity meant that you knew better, yet you chose to be stupid and act stupidly knowing the consequences.

Is there any doubt that this president isn't ignorant of his actions? Can he possibly be so stupid as to not recognize that his ignoring the war in Afghanistan while focusing his attention on his socialist health care reform bill and parochial issues like the Chicago Olympic bid, have inspired our enemies to take notice and take advantage of his demonstrated weakness. Can he possibly be so stupid as to not understand that weakness in the face of tyranny, murder and terror only leads to more of the same?

Personally? I don't believe the man to be either ignorant or stupid. Which leaves only the reality. And that reality is no more complicated to understand, than to recognize and acknowledge that this president is a committed Fabian socialist and one who is hell bent to destroy and dismantled as much of this country and what has made it the leader of the world as he possibly can.

Yes, ten more brave Americans died in Afghanistan yesterday and this president could give a shite less. all you have to do is watch and observe his actions and responses to know that.

Obama making case for Chicago's diversity -- The critics? They'll get tickets.

A lot has been made of the news since yesterday, when it was announced that Chicago didn't make the final cut for the 2016 summer games. The lead up stories were almost congratulatory in advance in their coverage across the board concerning the coming announcement by the IOC. President Obama (it would seem) was only making the journey to Copenhagen to seal the deal and the critics would be left crying after the great Chicago triumph was announced by the IOC.

What a difference a day makes........

Since yesterday, I have read a number of articles and watched several videos of the news coverage surrounding the announcement and Chicago's loss. And in each report there seems to be a collective sense of theft. The liberal left that was already celebrating in the streets of Chicago, dressed in their Chicago 2016 Olympic regalia, were left with a muttering hush moments after the IOC eliminated Chicago first. Then the wailing began.

And it took less than a few hours before the likes of Senator Roland Burress (Obama's replacement in the senate), began giving interviews blaming the city's loss on George Bush no less.

But to me, one of the most humorous parts to the entire story revolves around Rahm Emanuel (Obama's go to guy), who all but let it be known that the deal was "a done deal" and that he would insure that the GOP critics would have good seats for the 2016 Chicago games.

Seems his biggest selling point and greatest belief concerning the win, rested with his perception that Chicago's "diversity" would win the day and sway the world to the Chicago way of thinking.

"There's no better city in the United States or the world to host the international community than Chicago -- because of the diversity,'' Emanuel said. "You're going to bring literally the whole world together for Olympic games, sports games, and competition. Chicago's a great competitive city -- has always been that. It has a great amount of diversity and it would be great for Chicago also for not only its diversity but for the economic opportunity that it provides in the sense of jobs and economic growth.

Different from Rio or Madrid?

"Nothing against them, but Chicago is what none of the other cities have and this is again what I think the president's remarks will be, not saying anything negative against them, but you're bringing all the world together... The world will feel comfortable given the diversity of Chicago all the different ethnic communities are there...''

That was then and this is now. And there is no joyous after glow in either Chicago or Washington this morning. Just more liberal angst and the mutterings of all the unfairness and the "theft" of something that some how or another, is perceived by liberals as being"rightfully theirs."

Celebration in the streets of Rio

 Obama's Olympian gamble collapses


Blame it on Rio? Not so fast there bucko!

Most have heard the news today that Chicago didn't win the 2016 Olympic bid. That loud thundering thud that resounded from Copenhagen was just Obama's ego hitting the floor according to some.

I was waiting to see how long it would take for blame to be assigned somewhere other than the messiah? And I just found the first glimpse.

Roland Burris, the recently appointed US Senator from Illinois, appointed to replace Barack Obama already had his take on it. he blames George Bush for Chicago's loss.

Who woulda thunk it.

U.S. September Auto Sales Plunge; GM, Chrysler Hit Hard

What was that clunk that hit the headlines yesterday? Must have been the sound of the American auto industry clunking and crashing to the ground (again). So, they are right back to where they were before the federal bail out and the cash for clunkers program of the past few months attempted to save them.

It was my opinion (and that of many others) from the beginning (September of last year) that we should have allowed the auto makers to file for bankruptcy and de-a s s the smothering union contracts that were crippling and killing the American auto industry. But Obama and his union supporting thugs were having nothing of that. Nor would our out going president Bush before him. Bush seemed content to just let the wreck of the American economy, coast silently into the next administration, while he prepared for the blessed obscurity that he longed for after the past eight years. (Thanks George).

Then once in office, Obama's rescue plan materialized. Spend billions on bailouts and the buying up of GM and auctioning off Chrysler to Fiat. Then create the cash for clunkers scheme and sell that to the people as a viable alternative to reality. Actually, cash for clunkers wasn't Obama's plan or his idea to begin with. The French and the Germans had already implemented a similar program in Europe, months before he ever debuted his plan here. And the European clunkers plan ended in the exact same result as ours has.

A lot of government money propping up a sinking auto industry and a forced perspective that changed absolutely nothing in the end. (What was that about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome?)

The only measurable result of any government sponsored forced perspective, is that in the end the people have less money and the problem remains unaltered and unchanged, only to become larger. These programs cannot be maintained or sustained simply by spending the people's money to create an alternative reality. (Money runs out eventually and so does credit.)

Alternative realities are wonderful works of science fiction, but the practical application of them by those engaged in relativist social gerrymandering has never worked and it never will.  Nature always seeks it's own level of equilibrium just like water does. No matter how many times man attempts to alter the natural order, given the time and the opportunity, nature always returns things to as they were and seeks to provide its own non imposed solutions for the dilemma.

Thus is the current reality and the coming epitaph of Obama's grand scheme concerning the auto industry. The beauty part about capitalism, is that left to it's own devices, it will follow the same course as nature and water. It will find its own equilibrium. And having done so, just like the Darwinist scheme of natural selection, only the strong will survive. Which is as it should be.

Barack Obama hasn't saved the American auto industry, he has killed it. And he killed it by refusing to allow it to right itself and suffer through the throes of re-birthing itself into a new and viable industry, after having shed these strangling unions. He killed it because the disease that killed the American auto industry (union labor) told him to do it. He had to do it, after all.....the unions got him elected.

So now, the first month's numbers after the end of the cash for clunkers scam is in. And what do the statistics reveal?

"Sales for General Motors Co  and Chrysler -- the two U.S. automakers struggling to regain momentum after emerging from bankruptcy -- dropped by 45 percent and 42 percent, respectively."

Which is precisely what the statistics will reveal in the months to come, as 2009 closes out as one of the worst economic years on record.

The American economic egg (Humpty Dumpty) is broken. And all the king's horses and all the king's men, can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Eggs (golden or otherwise) once broken must be discarded. Our time and our effort (as a nation) needs to be invested in nurturing the goose that lays our golden eggs, not in strangling the old bird and cursing her over the eggs that we have broken. But our Fabian socialist "chef in chief" remains hell bent on making his socialist souffle and selling it to us as a banquet.

Marie Antoinette once served the people cake..... Meanwhile, our illustrious leader is hell bent on selling us fluffed up broken and rotten eggs.

43 U.S. Troops Have Died in Afghanistan Since Gen. McChrystal Called for Reinforcements

Once again mainstream media in America remains by and large silent on the issue of what is happening in Afghanistan and the president's obvious refusal to address what is becoming critical, as it concerns American policy and direction and policy of the White House on the war.

In March of this year, the president said.....“I want the American people to understand that we have a clear and focused goal to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan and to prevent their return to either country in the future,”

I am curious Mr. president......what exactly is that focused goal again? And while you are refreshing my memory and the memory of several hundred million other Americans on the topic? Could you maybe share your clear goals with General McCrystal? The guy you sent there to make an assessment? Remember?

I know with all the other things that you have had on your plate lately, that it is difficult to stay focused on the trivial things like wars (a war that you have been opposed to from the beginning), but you really should learn how to keep up appearances for the little people. People have noticed and they are talking Mr. president, even in the midst of a complacent and complicit media.

Meanwhile, while this little pot in Afghanistan simmers and bubbles, what have you been doing to address the lingering questions that Americans have been rightfully asking, since General McCrystal's assessment (which you have now had for a month) was brought to your attention?

Oh....I see. You and the little woman are off globe trotting to Denmark and schmoozing with the cheese eating Vichy socialists of Europe, while you and the wife are pitching the old home town to the international Olympic Committee on the US taxpayer dime. Another tip Mr. president, the Chitown hustle is wearing thin on the American people.

Meanwhile back here at home, there remains the lingering unanswered questions concerning just what you intend to do about addressing the war in Afghanistan and how you intend to address the recommendations of General McChrystal. I am sorry Mr. president, but you can't use that old fall back like you did during the campaign. You can't turn and glare at the antagonistic press and simply bleat that "it's above your pay grade." That quip won't work on this one. (it shouldn't have been allowed on the last one).

Bailing and refusing to address the questions today won't work any better than the news that you have been sitting on the general's report for thirty days has, or that you have only spoken to the man once in the last seventy days. (before today)

And then comes this, from the pearled lips of Robert Gibbs....(White House Spokesman)

<span style="font-style:italic;">Then on Sunday, Gen. McChrystal told “60 Minutes” that he has talked to Obama only once in the past 70 days. At a briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs noted that President Obama “receives a memo every week from General McChrystal.”</span>

Did you know that 43 American have died while you have sat idle and ignored the war in Afghanistan while pursuing your health care reform bill over the last thirty days Mr. president? Do you realize that the American people are watching?

Or did you fail to get those memos also, the same way you apparently have failed to receive the one's from General McChrystal and his assessments that you have failed to make note of or act upon for a month.

And before you leave for your trip to Denmark, your hurried video conference with General McChrystal and your national security team today (only after you had your meeting with legendary golfer Arnold Palmer) literally wreaks of trying to play catch up while coming across as the rank amateur that you really are.

I am sorry Mr. president, but you are definitely a lower case entity and you will remain so in my opinion. As you have absolutely no business being the leader of this country. But none the less we are stuck with you for another three years and three months it seems.

I can't wait until you and the wife return from this latest jaunt. I

 will be truly interested to hear what you have to say for yourself.

Michelle Obama arrives in Copenhagen for IOC vote

There was a time when our elected representatives actually paid attention to who was spending our money and what they were spending it on. (Back before they learned that they had control of an open end taxpayer funded checkbook).

Then came the Congressional Budget Office. Supposedly created to act as a check and buffer on congressional spending back in 1974. Does anyone really care what the CBO has to say anymore? I certainly don't think that the president or congress gives a rat's rotisserie what they say.

I raise these questions as it has struck me of late, that someone should be checking the odometer on Air Force One. And the odometers on rest of the Air Force executive fleet for that matter while they are at it.

I have no direct way of knowing or checking on how much he has used Air Force One and the other executive assets assigned to the Air Force and at his disposal but I feel relatively sure that this president has been burning up the miles in Air Force ever since taking office. Far more so than his predecessor and definitely more so as far as it concerns the first lady and her ability to fly on her own assigned Air Force Jet.

Obama will fly to Copenhagen tomorrow to make his pitch to the International Olympic committee, in his attempt to sway the vote for the 2016 Olympics in favor of Chicago. Does anyone else find it bothersome that in the midst of two wars, an economy in shambles, unemployment at an all time high and a congress hell bent to spend as much money as they can get away with, that the president of the United States is using "our planes and our resources" to lobby foreigners on behalf of his old buddies back in Chicago?

Or what about the fact that Michelle Obama flew to Copenhagen on her own personal Air Force jet yesterday. She is there (ostensibly) to lobby the same Olympic selection committee as her husband, but she came on an entirely different aircraft and with and almost equal amount of security detail and Secret Service entourage as her husband has around him. I wonder if she will lay back as she did on the European trip, (once her "business" is out of the way) so that she can once again get in more shopping days in a foreign country at the  expense of the American taxpayer.

And to add insult to injury? The media is referring to Michelle's Air Force charter that flew her there as "Air Force II!"  I wonder where that leaves Joe Biden? Actually....I could care less where it leaves Joe Biden. I would just as soon they give him a bus like John Madden's and be done with it.

The real point IMO, is that we have a president who is literally out of control when it comes to spending our money and borrowing us into the poor house. And he is using the prerogatives and the perks of his office as if he is some "nouveau riche" frat boy who could care less who is paying for it. All the while admonishing the rest of us urbane unsophisticated and unwashed commoners to sacrifice more on behalf of mother earth and good will toward our enemies globally.

I for one am about damn tired of this Vichy arrogance and elitist Fabian socialist waste. Especially when I am watching and observing my fellow Americans in dire straights over the economic situation and unemployment. And the worst of it? Who can we complain to? It's not like we can call or write our elected representatives in the house or the senate and they could or would act to rein in this ridiculous wastefulness in the executive branch.

Hells bells, the majority of them are just as guilty of waste as he is and Nancy Pelosi is leading the parade with her own Boeing 757 that carries her sorry socialist backside back and forth to the land of fruit and nuts sometimes twice a week.

And it's not like we can even complain to the White House, as we all now know that they are taking down names and making their enemies list as we speak. So where do we turn? Survey says! Nowhere. We are stuck with this interloping elitist and his smarmy globe trotting fashion challenged wife, unless and until either the next election, or this country completely implodes and a revolution removes him from office. Of course there is still the outside chance of a meteor strike or of the western half of Africa suddenly sliding into the Pacific and creating a tsunami that eliminates the entire eastern seaboard.

I say it's about time that Americans lay off the milk and sugar and start brewing their tea fast and strong.

Appeals court dismisses Dan Rather's suit vs. CBS


The New York Court of Appeals tossed Dan Rather's specious law suit against CBS today. Too Bad. On the one hand, I would like to have seen CBS forced to pay out millions to their former all star. But on the other hand? It is equally satisfying and more to see Rather lose.

It's rather fitting actually (pun intended). Just think......the loser lost.

Now, if he will just fade to black and go somewhere and cease to be the annoyance that he has been for the last three decades. But alas, that won't happen. He will hang on and remain the ignorant pain in the a s s that he has always been. Perhaps Dan and Jimmy Carter can get together and go get themselves captured somewhere in the middle east while pursuing their legacies.

I must admit, I was not a fan of General Stanley McChrystal when president Obama promoted him to four star general, and then appointed him the new commander of American forces in Afghanistan. (Replacing the then commanding General David McKiernan and banishing him to a less than honorable forced retirement.)

And since his promotion and appointment to command in Afghanistan, General McChrystal has done absolutely nothing in my opinion, to either distinguish himself in his new command, or to provide any indication that he was/is the supposed necessary answer, to turn  the war around in Afghanistan.

Americans should not be confused as it concerns what is going on in Afghanistan, or with what is going on with president Obama's goals in Afghanistan or the region. And Americans should not be confused as it concerns defense secretary Robert Gates and president Obama's decision to keep him in this administration.

Robert Gates (as Secretary of Defense) didn't make the decision to replace General McKiernan in Afghanistan, he was only the president's message boy delivering the president's message of firing. The fact that Gates remained secretary of defense after Obama assumed the presidency, speaks to only one reality and that reality is that Gates is a yes man and a rubber stamp for this president and he knows it. One misstep? One crossing of the official policy line? One attempt to speak out on his own or take any position contrary to the president's? And Robert Gates will be gone every bit as fast or faster than General McKiernan was.

I don't have anything personal against General Stanley McChrystal. I am sure that he is or was a competent commander, but he made a mistake by taking his present command and by accepting this promotion IMO. I have to question in my own mind, what he could have possibly been thinking when he accepted the position. Did he not realize that he would be nothing more than a caretaker while Obama purposely imploded the war and reduced manpower and funding until defeat was obvious? Did he not realize that he would be absolutely powerless to exert any command prerogative or initiative to affect the direction of the war? Did this graduate of West Point and former Special Forces commander not realize that he was being set up as a "patsy" by this president?

Or was he simply dazzled and beguiled by the thought of that fourth star on his shoulders. Either way, it is more than obvious to this casual observer (and many others for that matter), that since assuming command in Afghanistan, General McChrystal's only accomplishments have been to let it be known that America is losing the war and that if something isn't done soon, we will lose the war completely.

His first warning that we are losing the war (a month or so into his command and assessment) was quickly denied by the White House and the general's statements were disavowed by the Obama administration as having been taken out of context. But the general persisted a couple of weeks later and once again expressed his serious concerns over our capability to fight and win this war under current constraints of manpower and funding.

Then last week the real bomb shell exploded. The media learned (leaked) that General McChrystal had submitted his review of Afghanistan to the president, before Obama had left for Labor Day on Martha's Vineyard. And Obama had done absolutely nothing with the report or the general's recommendations since receiving them, three weeks earlier. we can only assume, that the report includes the general's request for additional troops and funding.

And as of last night's interview with the general on 60 Minutes, it was learned that General McChrystal has only spoken to his commander in chief once since he has been in Afghanistan and in charge of the war. Once in the last seventy days (according to the general's own admission) has he spoken to the president concerning what is going on in Afghanistan. As a betting man, I would be willing to wager that lone conversation occurred not long after after the General's first misstep by admitting that we are losing the war.

(The entire 60 Minutes piece can be viewed here.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/09/28/gen_mcchrystal_warns_of_mission_failure_in_afghanistan.html

Having watched the 60 Minutes interview with the General? I am not impressed. My take of his admissions and positions, is that he in attempting to manage the war from a political perspective, as opposed to a military one. Limiting air strikes and daily conference calls with the Pentagon won't win this war. Neither will his other command decisions like ordering flags to not be lowered for our honored dead just to name a few.

General McChrystal may have been sent to Afghanistan to make assessments and determinations, but he wasn't sent there to win a war IMO. The man is not a warrior. He is a military bureaucrat and a power point driven commander in my estimation. Someone that may have been trained and may know in theory what needs to be done? But one who doesn't know how to apply that knowledge and skill practically in a real time environment IMO.

Are we losing the war in Afghanistan? If you asked me, I would say yes, without a doubt. We began losing it just as soon as this president took the reins of office and that was further evidenced just as soon as he appointed General McChrystal to command the war in Afghanistan. Are we losing the war in Afghanistan? At the present time we have already lost it IMO.

Was General McChrystal so stupid as to not know that he was being used and set up for the fall? I don't believe so. The general knew exactly what he was doing by accepting this command. Therefore, his reasoning can only be based in one reality IMO. There was a fourth star in it for General McChrystal. He may have thought that he could make a difference, or that he would be allowed to actually command the war and make the appropriate determinations once he was there, but he has now learned that is not the case. And IMO, he was only lying to himself to ever believe otherwise with this president.

As I said earlier, General Stanley McChrystal was brought on board and promoted by president Obama for one reason and one reason only. He was to be the interim caretaker over the affair, while Barack Obama imploded the war and his leftist media convince America that the war was lost and not worth continuing. Which is a campaign the media in America began in earnest about two weeks ago with their push polls and drum beat of supposed discontent with the war by most Americans.

It's a sad epitaph as it concerns General McChrystal IMO, but he (as we use to say in the Corps) has booked a loser. And the only honorable thing that he can do as a general and as a career Army officer at this point, is to firmly pace the gauntlet on the table with his commander in chief. McChrystal needs to make his positions known to the president and stand by the integrity of his assessment. He needs to stand by that decision on behalf of our men and women in the field who each require no less than integrity from their commanding general.

And if the president refuses to accept the general's assessment on the war and what is needed and what will be required to win it? Then General McChrystal should resign his command and return to Washington. Whereby his last official act before leaving the army, should be to return that fourth star before its cost completely tarnishes his otherwise notable career.

Bill Clinton speaks of vast, right-wing conspiracy

Barack Obama and those on his team may have been the one's to first envisioned never letting a good crisis go to waste? But the Clinton's were and remain way ahead of the curve when it comes to the democratic past time of demon branding their political adversaries.

It's 1999 and Bill Clinton is being pummeled by accusations of his illicit affair with a White House intern, and his wife raises the specter of the vast right wing conspiracy. A sinister grouping of adversaries whose sole purpose is to destroy his presidency.

We all know what followed, including his squinty eyed blustering and finger pointing at the camera to attempt and deny the accusations. Remember? Back when he looked America straight in the eye and lied his a s s off. "I never had sexual relations with that woman......Ms. Lewinski."

But that was then, this is now. What does the present have to do with the past? Enter one Bill Clinton (democrat fallen patriarch) to explain it to us little people all too well. Barack Obama is now on the receiving end of that same vast right wing conspiracy that attacked Bill! The same people are literally out to destroy his presidency! The same one's that came after Bill!

I wonder? Are conspiracies like other elements and forces in the universe? Are there always equal and opposing forces and entities at work as Issac Newton suggested? Certainly there must be. Have we not just spent eight years watching the democrats and their "vast left wing conspiracy?" Engage in the exact same thing and do all in its power to destroy George Bush?

Is there really any difference between then and now? I mean aside from the outright lies and open attempts at smearing Bush in their seething attempts to bring him down, what difference is there.

But suddenly Bill Clinton would like us to believe that there is some uniquely sinister force afoot. A force whose entire purpose in life is to seemingly smear and debilitate an otherwise good and moral man. Here's a clue.....there are no good or moral men (or women) in politics today. Just look around and try and prove me wrong.

To achieve the office of the presidency in America, one must have long ago forfeited their spine, character and morals and made their deals with the devil.

But it is amusing to see one who was literally the charlatan's charlatan, attempting to broad brush the background and the foreground on behalf of the one who both toppled and ended the Clinton dynasty in American politics. 

Politics truly does make for strange bed fellows.

Swiss Arrest Roman Polanski for Possible Extradition to U.S. in Sex Case

Most people under fifty have little to no idea who Roman Polanski is, or what he does or what he did, or who he was involved with. But the rest of us remember.

First off and probably most notably, he was the chic European junior director who was married to Sharon Tate of Manson murders fame. Then about ten years later he supposedly was caught having sex with some 14 year old girl and fled back to Europe where he has remained for the past thirty years a fugitive from American justice.

There is only one question that begs the asking IMO. Well actually there are two questions, but the important one is this......"how many people actually believe that the present day United States legal system intends to extradite this pervert back to America for prosecution of what in essence is a statutory rape charge at best.....and thirty years after the fact.

Of course the next question and as far as I am concerned, the equally as important question, (if not more important) is who gives a rat's rotisserie?

It's been thirty years and no one has ever cared enough to arrest this heathen on these charges before now. And it wasn't like he was on Interpol's Ten Most Wanted list and has been hiding in some cave in the Alps. So stop wasting my time and my tax money pursuing some aged moron whose greatest claim to fame is that he was once married to a beautiful woman who was murdered by lunatics.

Joe Biden update: He calls some fellow Democrats 'turkeys'

"I don’t have to tell you that you’re in a very competitive state,” the vice president said, according to the press pool notes. “You got some tough votes coming up.”

Biden called the three men “independent minded” and “damn competent,” adding, however, that they were all united on core Democratic Party themes, including energy policy and healthcare.

“These guys are smart, "Biden asserted. "Some of the guys Chuck [Robb] and I have campaigned for are turkeys. Not all Democrats are created equal, while most Republicans are.”

Sometimes, you just gotta let Joe talk. He is the best appointment that Obama has made to date. (From a republican point of view).

Obama: Iran Must Cooperate or Face Consequences

I don't know who first coined the phrase, but the truism still holds IMO, 'never come to a gun battle armed only with harsh words.' Yet that is precisely the style of our president and the way that he seems intent upon dealing with the Iranians and their nuclear ambitions.

Is it any big surprise that the Iranians and Ahmadinejad have only become more and more emboldened by our lack of response to their threats and their ongoing pursuit of nuclear weapons over the past five years? Make no mistake, George Bush should have done something about this rogue while he and we still had the chance. But he didn't.
And neither did the UN or Europe who were supposedly keeping an eye on their activities and prepared to intervene.

And now that the task is left to the "appeaser and apologist in chief?" I somehow don't see any major sea change concerning US policy toward the Iranians happening in the near future. If anything, we will retreat further behind the diplomatic apron strings of the UN and its track record of wishing and hoping that problems like Iran will simply go away. Oh! I almost forgot.....there are always sanctions!

The UN is in majority responsible for these rogues like Iran and NM Korea.

The Iranians grow more and more emboldened by the day and as they do, they are increasing their nuclear capabilities to wage war against Israel and to provide nuclear weapons to terrorist that are more than capable and willing to use them against us.

Meanwhile, Barack Hussein Obama is engaged in the performance of a lifetime. All he needs is a toga and a violin to complete his ensemble and you probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference between him and Nero.

<span style="font-style:italic;">"My offer of a serious, meaningful dialogue to resolve this issue remains open," Obama said. "But Iran must now cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and take action to demonstrate its peaceful intentions."</span>

<span style="font-style:italic;">"Iran's leaders must now choose -- they can live up to their responsibilities and achieve integration with the community of nations. Or they will face increased pressure and isolation, and deny opportunity to their own people."</span>

<span style="font-style:italic;">"On this, the international community is more united than ever before ... that Iran must fulfill its responsibilities," Obama said.</span>

And what do the Iranians have to say about the messiah and his mumblings and rattle sabers?

<span style="font-style:italic;">"This new plant, God willing, will soon become operational and will make the enemies blind," Mohammad Mohammadi-Golpayegani, who heads Khamenei's office, said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.</span>

They recognize that hollow sound emitting from the cavity where a back bone has never existed in the man that we elected president of these United States.

Every week there are more and more reports of terrorist being discovered on our shores and planning our demise and attacks against us. So how long before one of them is blessed with the gift of nuclear weapons by Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Ayatollahs or their buddy Kim Jong in N Korea. And for how much longer will the American people allow this interloper to sell our future and our children down the river.

Which brings me to the closing of my comments today. The phrase "selling down the river." It originated to denote the practice during the slave trade to describe how the people of Africa sold their own people into bondage and slavery. Shipping them down the river to the slave traders and a life in servitude.

Therefore, I feel that it is ironic, that we would reach a point in our time and history when a black man would ultimately do to us as a nation, that which was done to his people for generations.

Ironic isn't it.

Iran Reveals Existence of Second Uranium Enrichment Plant

I am not going to belabor the point by going back over the obvious in any  great depth, but the bottom line of this news today? Should in all fairness be.....Is this some kind of shock or surprise to anyone?

Hasn't this little tin horn been telling the world for the past several years that he was going to do as he damn well pleased as it concerned his intentions to pursue nuclear assets?

Of course he coyly covered his lies concerning Iran's nuclear ambitions, by attempting to portray Iran's desire to obtain nuclear materials as nothing more dubious than it's interest in only the peaceful use of nuclear power. Of course his lies about that had barely fell silent to the ear before he was threatening to wipe Israel off the map.

And how might one guess that he might accomplish such a task? Provided he actually wanted to carry out that threat. Bingo!

So there you have it friends and neighbors. Why should anyone but especially the president and the democrats be shocked or surprised by today's revelation of Iran's secret nuclear facility.

Or should we not all possibly take the same tact as our loyal opposition of the past eight years? Should we not simply pronounce by acclamation to the world, that this is all a lie and our little Iranian tin horn doesn't have any WMD's now and nor will he ever be capable of possessing them. He's just building reactors for his power grid. Right?

Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper


Yes friends and neighbors, the looney left is now coming after your individual a s s. Not satisfied with killing off American industry, capitalism and your way of life, they are now coming after your own dear little back side as their newest target of American indulgence.

They want your toilet paper. And they want your to use something that has been created by one of their recycled visionary wizards of vegan mother earth.

Stand by....there may be a rush for the commodity! The Stock exchange may begin trading in Wiping futures soon.  Hoarding will probably follow, but in the end (pun intended) you may be forced to resort to the corn cob twist like they did back in the old days.

And hey! With all those husks left over from bio fuel production? There should certainly be enough cobs to go around. Now, all we have to do is figure out how to flush them things and how to package them.

Barack Obama's churlishness is unforgivable

There are several reports in the media this morning, outlining the perceived snub of the British PM Gordon Brown by our dear president. But I found this writer in the Daily Telegraph's version of summation to be personally the most interesting.

David Hughes is billed as the Daily Telegraph's "chief leader writer." And he is credited as having covered British politics for 30 years. Therefore, I can only assume that this dear fellow knows and recognizes churlishness when he sees it. Although I must admit that my less than vast command of the king's English sent me looking for Mr. Webster's tutelage on Mr. Hughes choice of word in describing Barack Obama.

It seems? That "churlish" has two primary definitions. The first: 'of, resembling, or characteristic of a churl : vulgar' The second and more appropriate in its intent as used by Mr. Hughes: 'marked by a lack of civility or graciousness : surly.'

So there you have it. On at least one level, there are those in the UK that saw president Obama's intentional snub of Gordon Brown as churlishness. And somehow? I tend to believe there are probably more than a few in the UK who see it precisely the same way as Mr. Huges.

The surly arrogance of this president has been visited now on several of America's European allies. Lest we forget how President Sarkozy was treated by the insolent rebuff of president Obama during the D Day invasion anniversary ceremonies at Normandy and hosted by the French back in June.

Or what of his snubbing of Angela Merkel the PM of Germany? On the very same trip to Europe as the one where he snubbed Sarkozy. Merkel was given the Obama presidential cold shoulder when he intentionally bypassed Berlin and a meeting with Angela Merkel and opted rather to visit Dresden. Of course PM Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, never even rated a visit from the messianic one on that trip to Europe and the middle east.

Or what of last week when Obama snubbed the leaders of both the Czech Republic and Poland by withdrawing the promised missile defense shield? And he did it on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Poland seventy years ago.

So the question almost begs the asking.....Does Gordon Brown feel that he is special? Should the British people feel that they are privileged and should be allowed a special confidence and position influence with this American administration?  Apparently not. Particularly if you make the determination of that qualification based upon the actions of this president toward the British to date.

As an observer of very little consequence, I find it almost amusing to see Europe writhing in mass at the insolence of the socialist interloper now occupying the Oval Office and standing this week before the UN and directing to the world what he thinks their level of participation in the grand scheme of his plans ought to be.

I remember now too many years past, when the previous president was perceived as surly for having the audacity to call out the axis of evil (Iran and N Korea). He then told our friends and allies in Europe and the UK that they had better get on board with helping to defend both their own security and our security. Yet the suave socialist controlling most of Europe wanted none of that. They smirked and snided and sniped at George Bush for eight years while demonstrating their own finer skills and talents of churlishness to the American people.

The UK under Tony Blair may have committed British troops to Iraq and Afghanistan and the British people may have been our most supportive Allie in these wars against terrorism, but they have also been on the forefront of criticism against America for having the audacity to defend itself against Islamic created terrorism in the first place.

As an American, I would have thought that after their own attacks of 7/7? That the British (of all people) would have closed ranks and become closer allies with America. But that has not been the case in my observation.

There are many in the UK who have fumed over the UK's involvement in support of the war on terror and they continue to fume and spew their outright hate and disagreement against America at every turn over our involvement in both Iraq and Afghanistan. So now? Americans are supposed to give a twit that the British PM has been snubbed by the messianic one upon arriving at the G20?? I hardly think so.

Gordon Brown's political life light is waning. The man has never struck me as being of more consequence than a lesser player in the now all but dead Labour party in the UK. His party is dying by the day and so is his own political future. Gordon Brown made his overtures to Obama when he visited Washington right after this president was sworn in. And what did that get him? Oh yes....now I remember. A dysfunctional set of DVD's and a drubbing by the media on both sides of the Atlantic for not being more of a man and standing up to Obama.

I am sorry, but I have no pity for Gordon Brown. The churlish snub of Gordon Brown is of no greater or lesser consequence of relevance than that of the others who have suffered the same fate at the hands of this sophomore of change since he became president.

IMO? If these European leaders want to get into the swing of things and get themselves invited to the A list of conversations with this president? Then they should pick of the phone and call Hugo Chavez or the deposed dictator of Honduras. Perhaps a call to Fidel Castro or Kim Jon, or Mahmoud Ahmadi Nejad. President Obama has already spoken with most of them since taking office and he has expressed a willing interest in doing so with all of them, since before he was elected.

Perhaps Gordon Brown can barter and invite from one of the more notable players in Obama's universe of world leaders that he is interested in speaking to.  Of course, there is the possibility that if Gordon Brown were to bow and kiss the hand at his next encounter with Obama before leaving the G20 summit this week? Then maybe, just maybe the messiah could find a few minutes and squeeze him in before Brown leaves for his return to the UK.
