McConnell and Double Dealing Republicans ...

DEALING WITH DOUBLE DEALERS

“ Double Dealers Dealt With The complicated procedure, designed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), would allow an increase of the borrowing limit while allowing most Republicans to vote against such an increase. ” I'm still stewing over this.  It's one thing to know—  as anyone with an IQ warmer than melted ice does—   that democrats are liars, commies and pedophiles.  But when the sheriff  turns out to be part of the gang,  it's just too much. Since I'm law abiding,  I'll have to hope the citizenry, now alerted to the fact that they've been playing in a crooked game for several years, don't rise as one and hang everyone in government and start new— with a provisional Barn Army government!  Today.  I'm not making this up.

Ten Years After September 11: Recalling the Outrageousness of the Hollywood Left

Yup - Still Dead        MORE “ “I despise him [President George W. Bush]. I despise his administration and everything they stand for....There has to be a movement now to really oppose what he is proposing because it’s unconstitutional, it’s immoral and basically illegal....It is an embarrassing time to be an American. It really is. It’s humiliating.” — Actress Jessica Lange “Where is the acknowledgment that this was not a ‘cowardly’ attack on ‘civilization’ or ‘liberty’ or ‘humanity’ or ‘the free world’ but an attack on the world’s self-proclaimed superpower, undertaken as a consequence of specific American alliances and actions? — Novelist and playwright Susan Sontag “Is Cheney a goon? I don’t mean that to be like a smart ass, but he seems like he might be a goon....My feeling about Cheney — and also Bush, but especially Cheney — is that he just couldn’t care less about Americans. — CBS Late Show host David Letterman ” There was a time when actors were not invited to mingle with polite society.  And then that changed.  So there's that.

Double Disapproval?

DOUBLE SECRET DISAPPROVAL

“ The increase stems from a deal between Congress and the White House, finalized last month, that spells out how the borrowing limit would be increased by $500 billion. Under the process, lawmakers in both the House and Senate must vote on a resolution of disapproval against the increase in the borrowing limit. President Barack Obama would then have to veto the resolution of disapproval, and Congress would then vote to try and override that veto. The complicated procedure, designed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), would allow an increase of the borrowing limit while allowing most Republicans to vote against such an increase.  [Washington Wire] ”  I paid close attention to the debt ceiling debate, m'kay?  I thought the poison pill was the cockamamie Super Committee of super suspect senators, m'kay? .  But, this?  Who knew? “ Greg Marmalard: But Delta's already on probation. Dean Vernon Wormer: They are? Well, as of this moment, they're on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!  [Animal House] ” McConnell has been in the senate way too long. They all have. Government by punk.

2011 SOTU

Blah-BlahBlah

“ Obama implored Congress to “pass this ($ half-trillion)  bill” nearly twenty times during his address. Still, he sounded prepared for a political battle. “There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation,” he said. “Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans — including many who sit here tonight.” [full] Here's the thing.  While government can lose private sector jobs, they cannot create them by any means other than staying out of people's way.  But these God-wannabes, mostly Liberal, who think they can control climate change ( but not  forecast hurricane strength 24 hours in advance)  are  hopelessly unteachable.  Had Joe Biden, who has never done a useful thing in his life, attended the SOTU wearing a suicide vest, and used it mid-speech, the DOW would be +2000 as we speak,  and we'd be clicking glasses to his memory for a thousand years.

Why people who don't use a Microsoft O/S will eventually go insane.

“ I use Expatshield ( http://expatshield.com/ ) to watch on the REAL BBC. # posted by  Anonymous : 9/6/11 11:20 AM Response to Hobson's Choice ” I am about to tell you why people who don't use a Microsoft O/S will eventually go insane. In the above referenced post I complained about not being able to watch any current Top Gear episodes.  Anonymous suggested  Expat Shield which I dutifully (and hastily) installed.  It's quite a hefty program, but finally I was able browse about the streets of London and the BBC.  I found Top Gear. I selected "watch the current episode (you have 18 hours left) Message:  We're sorry but people like you who don't live in the UK are not allowed to view video,but you can listen to BBC radio. Crapshit.  I uninstalled Expatshield, but  ... along with that program I also received "Bear Share."  It's a peer-to-peer share system that I used in the long ago.  It had hijacked the bottom rung of my Firefox menubar, so I closed it.  However, I noticed that while my Homepage dutifully opened with Firefox, opening new tabs took me to a Bear Share search page. It's now 8:24 AM.  I began the process of deleting Bear Share/Menu Bar at 6:15 AM.  Here's some of what I did.  It didn't solve the problem, so I ripped my shirt off, jumped out of the trench and started killing everything.  House to house urban  warfare.  BLAM BLAM BLAM!  Dll carnage.  HKEY massacre. Which brings me to my point.  Microsoft  is no different than our filthy government.  They know what's  best for us, and like it or not will shove it down out throats.  Once passed, it's impossible to get rid of. Don't like it?  Too bad.  Their judges won't listen to you, either.  Instead, they send you through a maze of useless FAQs, a process that assumes this is how you make your living wage. While most rational people would relish being able to take on today's government in man-to-man combat,  we cannot.  Not alone, anyway.  But us WINDOWS users can take on a surrogate. Microsoft .  It's not easy.  You can't  get rid of any of Microsoft's nanny state dictates without all-out mobilization.  I mean all-out.  Leave the wife and kids to fend for themselves for the duration, as you grapple  in the muddy trenches that are  WINDOWS bowels.  But—  if you're persistent—  you can win.  You can kill  an embedded agent.  It feels fk'n  great.  Swollen manly pride!  BEAR SHARE IS DEAD!!! I killed it dead. USA UAS USA! It's like putting a hammerlock on Obama, or carpet bombing the DNC. Catharsis! Sanity!  Apple users have no such outlet, which is why they are often insane.

Here come da judge

“ Fed court tosses out 2 challenges to Obamacare... Panel of 3 dem-appointed judges, including 2 appointed by Obama... ” A three-judge Fourth Circuit panel comprised of two judges appointed by President Obama and one named by President Clinton, has dismissed a Virginia-based lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the national health care law's individual mandate, saying the state lacked standing to sue. If letting Obama into the White House wasn't a death blow to our Republic, and it surely was; the Liberal's politicization of the courts, with its defacto creation of an oligarchical dictatorship, was very close to it.  Maybe our universe is in reality an ant farm owned by some other-galactic brat kid who lost interest in us after just a week and now spiders are in the process of eating us and leaving spider poop all over?   That at least explains it all.

What Liberalism Hath Wrought

"Death Wish" applause

Why They Cheered Capital punishment brings out the worst in the liberal elite.

“ Perhaps the most striking statement at last night's Republican presidential debate came not from Rick Perry or Mitt Romney but from the audience, which applauded the preface of one of moderator Brian Williams's questions. Here's how it looked in the transcript:     Williams: Governor Perry, a question about Texas. Your state has executed 234 death row inmates, more than any other governor in modern times. Have you . . .     (APPLAUSE)     Have you struggled to sleep at night with the idea that any one of those might have been innocent? [...] Williams then asked Perry to explain the audience's reaction to Williams's question: "What do you make of that dynamic that just happened here, the mention of the execution of 234 people drew applause?" Although Williams surely did not intend it as such, this question was a gift for Perry ...  [Taranto Full] ” I imagine the raucous cheering I heard (and was a participant in) during the first screening of "Death Wish" left them all slack jawed.

Mr. Ponzi, I Presume?

Mr. Ponzi, I Presume?

“ After the debate, the Romney campaign slammed Perry for standing by his earlier statement that social security is a Ponzi scheme. 'It is a Ponzi scheme to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today, you're paying into a program that's going to be there,' said Perry at the debate. 'Anybody that's for the status quo with Social Security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids, and it's not right.' The Romney campaign seized on the remarks, saying that someone who believed that could not win the Republican primary, much less a general election." Can America elect a president who understands basic math? So far the evidence is against it.  [Daily Caller Full] THE HILL is representative of the media hysteria over the "Ponzi Debacle."   “ Here is the basic problem Perry has: For 70 years, Social Security has been one of the most popular and productive programs to help senior citizens. Republicans and Democrats have supported it. ” Big surprise.  People who got something for nothing like it.  But, is it a Ponzi scheme Mr. Hill Magazine? “ The term Ponzi scheme has a very specific meaning for the type of swindle originating with Charles Ponzi in 1919 and continuing with the likes of Bernie Madoff. It promised quick and sure returns, used new, voluntary investors to pay old ones and is inherently a sham. Blah-blah-blah Hill—   We knew what a Ponzi scheme is, so tell us why Social Security isn't one! “   .... the key is that this is not “voluntary.” Oh.  Well, there you have it.  It's not a Ponzi scheme because gummint can actually kill you if you resist tax collectors.  It's all so easy now. By-the-by,  I'm sure someone can elucidate me here, but I haven't yet read or heard where Perry said he wants to "abolish Social Security,"  not that it's a bad idea.  I do find leftards putting the words in his mouth, like this guy.  “ – Speaking to a crowd of supporters near the Alamo, in San Antonio, Texas Governor Rick Perry said if he has his way he will put an end to “all the freebies” and start by getting rid of Social Security, Medicare, and Free Speech.

“ The "Weather-ly (underground) Hillbillies" President Obama's half-brother, who runs a foundation that collects funds in the United States, was able to get approval of a tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service in an unheard-of time period of only a month, records reveal. Barack Obama's half-brother Abongo Malik Obama, also known as "Roy" Obama, appears to have received the sudden IRS approval to operate as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization in only 30 days. The result was made retroactive for three years.  Influence of Obama's brother Abongo felt in Washington ” With Obama, bizarre is normal.

Politics Turns Dangerously Rougher A Commentary By Tony Blankley

“ The First Amendment also permits a state to ban a "true threat." A true threat encompass those statements where the speaker means to communicate a serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals. ("Political Hyperbole" is not a true threat.) The speaker need not actually intend to carry out the threat. Rather, a prohibition on true threats "protect(s) individuals from the fear of violence" and "from the disruption that fear engenders," in addition to protecting people "from the possibility that the threatened violence will occur." Tea Party members could reasonably feel fear of violence from union activists after Hoffa's call to "take out"  [Full]   ”

I think she must just be jealous that she doesnt' s%$^ vanilla ice cream like Sarah Palin.  I heard Sarah Palin can make a soft-serve swirl in the shape of a snow machine. That's why she has my vote. Coulter: Palin has become ‘the Obama of the tea party’ ”   I think Ann is right about Palin " Fish or cut bait,"  but that's all.  How does she know that "most Americans don't want her for president?"  Polls?  I think these two commenters are agreeably prescient.

“ ” A neighbor friend I'll call Tillie told me this story.   She was cleaning up hurricane debris from her yard when one of her best friends and her husband stopped to chat while walking their dog. I know them both to be very congenial, but uber liberal.  Tillie said that when the subject of the earthquake came up, she told the joke about the "discovery of  Bush's Fault." The woman found it hysterical. Woman: "That is great.  Did Obama make that up?" Tillie: "When?  From the golf course?" The woman stood slack-jawed with the realization that the joke was a slap at Obama's penchant for blaming Bush for everything.  She snapped. Woman over her shoulder as they walk quickly away—   "I am so sick of listening to idiots trying to claim that Bush didn't destroy this country and caused all of us to lose our savings.  So I guess you'll be voting for the Tea Party?   Who. Michelle Bachmann?  You'd better not put a Bachman sign in your yard ... you'd better not ... " [her husband is yelling something about Cheney ... ]. I have zero doubts anymore that it is Obama's intention to spark civil unrest before the 2012 election sends  him packing.  The useful idiot classes are fully charged;  the left establishment is ferociously  priming the pumps.  As much as I would love to take a Ma-Deuce to the lot, it would be playing into their hands.  At this point I make it even money that Obama will be assassinated by one of his own disgruntled followers if he refuses to bow out of the race in favor of, who else, Hillary.

"If this book were read by an intelligent person who spent the past 10 years on, say, Mars, she would have no idea that Dick Cheney was the Vice President in one of the most hapless American administrations of modern times....We've now had three self-serving memoirs from the past administration.... Future historians who have the stomach to try to figure out what happened under our 43rd President will be frustrated by all three books, because none of them wrestles with the enormous issues raised by this pugnacious administration and the world-changing messes it left for its successors to clean up." — Washington Post associate editor Robert Kaiser in an August 30 review of Cheney's just-released In My Time.

A TURD CALLED GATES

TODAY'S Killer Turd - Robert Gates Turds So Big That People Die Passing Them

“ Gates: Israel an ungrateful ally Former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that his policies were ungrateful towards the US and were isolating Israel on a global level. Gates’ harsh words were said during a meeting of the National Security Council Principals Committee, Bloomberg’s Jeffrey Goldber reported Tuesday. Gates believes Netanyahu’s government has offered the Obama administration “nothing in return” for its generous security aid, which includes access to top-quality weapons, assistance in developing missile-defense systems and high-level intelligence sharing. The former defense secretary said that not only is Netanyahu ungrateful, but his polices were “endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israel’s growing isolation and with the demographic challenges it faces if it keeps control of the West Bank.” "Israel’s growing isolation ...;" is more than anything the product of the Obama administration aligning itself with Islam, and against them.  Yes, Europe was well on the road to anti-Israel politics before Hussein Obama arrived, but that's because they're a cowardly people who, in the face of the Muslim takeover of their nations,   behave like Europeans always do in the face of threats - Chamberlain them.  Obama on the other hand  is himself bent on Muslimfying the US.  All evidence points to it. Gates is just another in a string of Democrat pet military men without honor.

Hobson's Choice

“ Hoping they can add series 1-8 and 13-16, love the show but dont like watching the same episodes over and over ...  Sample comment on Net Flix Top Gear page. The last BBC Top Gear  episode I watched ended with the promise ..  "we'll be back on Boxer Day ..."  They were not.  When I clicked "Next Episode" I was taken to year 2, episode 1 (Year one has never been syndicated for some reason).  I've previously expressed my great delight at being able to watch these reruns, but it's more than that.  After watching 116 episodes, I will say that it's the most entertaining thing I've ever watched.  It's the greatest book I ever read.  It's the (second best) sex I've ever had.  It made me love the UK.  So, I've been stewing over this, trying to find an alternate source but— no!  It seems the US has been blocked from watching further episodes. I think I figured out why. The BBC has been franchising Top Gear (Germany, for one),  and now the US.  I'm betting that as part of the agreement, the BBC agreed to take new episodes of the original off the market.  If I'm correct,  in exchange for a cultural jewel we get Hobson's choice.  What rubbish.  Have any of you found a way around the embargo?

It's Not The Edonomy Stupid?

“It’s NOT about the economy, Stupid.” - Barry O

“ Bill Clinton* was elected president on a simple slogan: “It’s the economy, Stupid.” The message was posted on the wall in the campaign headquarters in Little Rock. No one was allowed to be stupid enough to question or forget what the campaign was about. The rest is history.   Barack Obama and his wise men are still casting about for a winning theme for 2012. The best anyone has come up with is, “It’s NOT about the economy, Stupid.” [Wes Pruden] ” WHAT'S YOUR SLOGAN FOR BARRY? *FWIW, The truth is that it was not until 1995 (after GOP takeover of Congress by the way) that Clinton economic growth exceeded 4th quarter 1992 (which he called the worst economy in 50 years).

Sarah Palin Campaign

First Draft of Her Story: Sarah Palin Announces What a Future Presidential Campaign May Look Like

“ Sarah Palin​ did not announce whether she would enter the 2012 presidential contest in a fiery and substantive speech in Iowa on Saturday, but she did make three more significant announcements that, in the long run, will potentially be more important than a potential future announcement date. First, as part of a five point plan to revive America’s economy, Palin called for the elimination of the federal corporate income tax as a way to “break the back of crony capitalism.” Her reasons for eliminating the federal corporate income tax, though, were more important than the actual proposal because it was a way in which she drew a line to differentiate herself from not only President Barack Obama, but nearly every other GOP presidential candidate, most notably Texas Gov. Rick Perry ... . [First Draft cont] ” Her announcement -- eliminate all federal corporate income tax She attacked Perry implicitly by directly attacking Obama Copies Obama’s 2008 strategy of having the same message in a primary and general election The anti-McCain Embraces the Tea Party as the true agents of change Establishes that the establishment is doing to Palin what they are doing to the Tea Party United States of Europe? 2012 will be a “finish the job” election of epic proportions Palin is the only person with a proven track record to battle Obama  Acknowledgement of “O4P” and “C4P” and her plan shows that Palin is running ...  significant because Palin has been the most thoroughly vetted potential  candidate in history, especially with the trove of her personal e-mails that were released  that only showed her to be the anti-crony capitalist reformer she had claimed she was all along.
