Mirror on the wall, who's the dumbest sumbitch in DC?

“
Let's see, this ties him with Biden


Raja,
This broke this morning, but you’ve probably heard about it already:  A SEEMINGLY OFF-HAND COMMENT from Secretary of State John Kerry touches off a rapid-fire chain of events that threatens to undermine President Obama's appeal to the nation Tuesday night to back his plan for a military strike against Syria.
That one was in FOXNews, but it’s been everywhere.  It seems Putin was quick to see the statement of Kerry as a blunder, and is taking advantage.  Kerry said Assad can avoid a US strike if he turns in his chemical weapons.  I’ve seen estimates that if Assad goes along, it will delay a decision on a US attack by weeks or months.  This is certainly going to undermine Obama’s position this week.  I’d love to be in on the conversation between Obama and Kerry.  This argues against straying from the nationally agreed line when practicing diplomacy.  Off-hand comments are not acceptable.  Yes, we knew Kerry was stupid, but a blunder like this will be seized upon by a bright guy like Putin before you can put the toothpaste back in the tube.

I recently aksed (of Karen Finney),  "Where do MSNBC find these people?  Well, with today's announcement that they are giving Alec Baldwin a Friday night show, we know— Referrals from rage control hotline centers.  One must also ask why owner GE allow this misinformed, leftwing hate machine to keep using their electricity?  They have laughable ratings, and are a constant source of embarrassment.  The only conclusion I can draw is that CBS GE muck-a-mucks subscribe to the ideology.

DC Gun Lunacy

Police State Culture

“ Washington police are operating under orders to arrest tourists and other non-residents traveling with spent bullet or shotgun casings, a crime that carries a $1,000 fine, a year in jail and a criminal record, according to a new book about the city's confusing gun laws.

"Empty shell casings are considered ammunition in Washington, D.C., so they are illegal to possess unless you are a resident and have a gun registration certificate," pens Emily Miller in her investigative book, "Emily Gets Her Gun: ... But Obama Wants to Take Yours."

Under the law, live or empty brass and plastic casings must be carried in a special container and unavailable to drivers. Having one, for example, in a cup holder or ash tray is illegal. [Full]

Collapse of American Influence Recalls Disintegration of Soviet Union, Fall of France

Not since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, and prior to that the fall of France in 1940, has there been so swift an erosion of the world influence of a Great Power as we are witnessing with the United States. [..]

Until recently, it would have been unimaginable to conceive of John Kerry as the strongman of the National Security Council. This is the man who attended political catechism classes from the North Vietnamese to memorize and repeat their accusations against his country of war crimes in Indochina, and, inter alia, ran for president in 2004 asserting that while he had voted to invade Iraq in 2003, he was not implicated in that decision because he did not vote to fund the invasion once underway. (Perhaps Thomas E. Dewey would have been an upset presidential winner in 1944 if he had proclaimed his support for the D-Day landings but advocated an immediate cut-off of funds for General Eisenhower’s armies of liberation.) -- FULL NY SUN via skoonj

Obama Copies Animal House's Greatest Speech

Clarice Feldman

A brilliant AT reader ThinkingOutLoud compares the "red line" is everyone's responsibility blather by Obama to this:

"But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few sick, perverted individuals. If you do, shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our education institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg. Isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but we won't sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!" - Animal House, 1978

Raja,

This analysis by Victor Davis Hanson is in today’s National Review Online.  It really gets to the heart of the problem.

If It Wasn’t Syria, It Would Have Been Something Else
By Victor Davis Hanson

Thanks Skoonj. Here's a crudely sliced summation of Hansen's article.


How did Obama get himself into this mess? It was bound to happen, given his past habits. All we are seeing now is the melodramatic fulfillment ofvero possumus, lowering the rising seas, faux Corinthian columns, hope and change, the bows, the Cairo speech, and the audacity of hope. Hubris does earn Nemesis

1) His inclination is to damn straw men, blame others for his self-inflicted errors, and spike the ball when he should keep quiet and become modest (cf. the bin Laden raid). [...] After five years of this, the world caught on, and sees juvenile and narcissistic petulance in lieu of statesmanship—and unfortunately a sinister Putin takes great delight in reminding 7 billion people of this fact almost daily. In terms of geostrategic clout, Obama has nullified the power of his eleven aircraft-carrier battle groups, Putin through his shrewd insight and ruthless calculation of human nature, has added five where they didn’t exist.

2)  Obama thinks in an untrained manner and for all the talk of erudition and education seems bored and distracted [...] —a) the “good” war in Afghanistan could have earned his full attention; b) the “bad” Iraq War was won and needed only a residual force to monitor the Maliki government and protect Iraq airspace and ensure quiet; c) the green revolution in Iran was in need of moral support; d) [...]

3)  Obama cannot attract top talent. Those from prior administrations who are gifted and worked for him or who were promoted by him [...] either were treated badly, not fully utilized, or ended up regretting their experience. Instead a host of mediocrities are recruited on the basis of either their partisanship, loyalty or demonstrated past lightness—an Eric Holder, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Timothy Geithner, Chuck Hagel, etc. [...] Hillary Clinton whose “what difference does it make?” fingerprints are all over the Syrian and Libyan fiascos wisely got out of town ahead of the posse.
Like Pruden (post below), V.D.H. sees the same two bad choices congress have.

" If the congressional vote is yes, the choice is cynically wasting a few American lives for a possible point, or killing lots more people for a more possible point. Not good choices."

Unlike Pruden, he hopes the vote if "NO." Obama has no more credibility,regardless.


When he's out of office for ten years, the media will reevaluate his presidency—ala Jummy Carter— and labeled "visionary".  His impeachment, and flight to Dubai to avoid a treason trial, called "a tragedy."

PRUDEN: A legacy for Barack Obama

Res Ipsa Loquitor
Infestation

A war nobody believes in, led by a man nobody trusts. If Barack Obama is still looking for a legacy, here it is. Everything about the Syrian dilemma stinks.

Bashar Assad is recognized by nearly everybody as the source of at least half the stink. But only half. The rest of the stench is supplied by the rebels. It’s tempting to suggest that Mr. Obama, who yearns for applause, deserves the dilemma.

[...]

If the president loses the vote, his credibility will be lost for sure and for good, but so will the credibility of the United States. For better or worse, the credibility of the president, any president, and the credibility of the nation are bound together. That’s what makes this dilemma particularly and spectacularly bad. This one may be a hold-your-nose vote to give Barack Obama his legacy.

Wesley Pruden is editor emeritus of The Washington Times.

Pruden's argument is, as always, compelling, sagacious, and USA!  It's also Old World Order.  The last two Democrat presidents were elected and reelected after synchronized syndication of messages, and suppression of facts by dominate media.  Obama is a farce, and the sooner he is removed, the better. While our constitutional model of government is still the best yet devised,  it has been badly damaged and requires a complete overhaul—and clearing of decks.  The US will, in the aftermath, have to re-earn international respectful fear and grudging admiration. Or continue on the track we're on.  In either case, the numbers of casualties will be pretty much constant, but not identical.

As I see it.

Genetic distribution that cause a person to become and stay a Democrat (or socialist) also render them incapable of understanding basic economics. —Undeniable Truth about Democrats #2

Even though I had an Econ minor in college, it was not until I experienced economics at the micro level that I fully appreciated the macroeconomics of minimum wage laws.

Our first home in Maryland was a scant half-mile from the gates of a large Air Force base.  Like most new homeowners we were house poor, counting every penny.  We shopped at a strip mall located opposite the main gate to the base.  Just when we had settled into a spending routine, Congress gave the military a pay raise.  Good on them.  What happened though, was almost simultaneous with that military pay increase came  across the board price increases in everything at the strip mall.  Food, hardware, liquor; everything.  And we noticed it with an acuteness only people who check grocery receipts with groceries as they're put away would. 

Demand and Supply are the Horse and Carriage of  Econ 1.   A fact that Maryland Democrats are incapable of grasping, or even caring about. To them, it's about timely gaming the ignorant class
(as Sandra Day O'Connor describes) of voters with meaningless, but quite harmful bunco.

New Jersey Adds Several  .... (WTF)?  AIR RIFLES to Its Banned Gun List

Res Ipsa Loquitor

Well, it’s official, New Jersey has jumped the shark on gun control (if they already hadn’t).

According to NJ2AS, the state has banned several types of popular, high end, air rifles.

Specifically, any air rifle that is made to be quieter by design.

One example of this is the Gamo Whisper line of rifles.

These rifles make great pest control rifles for people that own some land, but don’t want to disturb nearby neighbors with the sounds of traditional firearms.


This is, I believe,  no longer only about gun control;  it's about ideology.  The STATE is cracking heads in its struggle for supremacay over the concept of individual rights.

The good news for President Barack Obama as he considers a military response against Syria for using chemical weapons against rebels is that he probably won't have to deal with a similar anti-war movement from Hollywood. ...

While some conservatives (some?) see hypocrisy, Farrell says that an all-out war in Iraq under Bush, a Republican who was very unpopular in Hollywood, was a much bigger deal than potential missile strikes against Syria under the direction of Obama, a Democrat who drew millions for his campaigns from showbiz industry donors.
