Cronkite aided Vietnam protesters

“ "[Redacted] told group he had been to CBS Channel Six in Orlando prior to meeting to speak to newsmen about Vietnam moratorium activities. [Redacted] related that while at TV station, Walter Cronkite, nationally known radio and television commentator, spoke to him by telephone for approximately forty five minutes and that Cronkite reportedly told [redacted] that CBS would have thirty six hours of coverage on Vietnam moratorium with 'open mike' to give demonstrators a chance to be heard. Cronkite noted, according to [redacted], that Senator Edmund Muskie would be in Orlando, Fla., November 13 instant for Democratic fund raising dinner. According to [redacted], Cronkite suggested that [redacted] attempt to Muskie to come [sic] to Cape Kennedy to speak at Kelly Park rally to be held November thirteen instant. Cronkite allegedly told [redacted] that CBS would rent helicopter to take Muskie to and from site of rally at Kelly Park." ” My-my-my.  Barn Army jet ace Tim W picked up on the earlier discussion, and sent this story from Cronk's FBI files. .  This pretty much closes the case on Cronkite; Jane Fonda by comparison was an American patriot. Tim's mission tonight is to fly his MiG here,  and blow the crap out of it.

That would work

Who Pays? We do.

Beyond Their Comprehension

“ Society will demand that BP pay, and they will, but in the end it is we who will pay. We can take all their profits, which would mean they would not re-invest them in finding and producing more oil for us, so our prices would rise. We will increase taxes and regulatory costs on the industry as a whole, which will be passed on to we the consumers. Yes, BP makes a lot of profit, but they employ huge amounts of capital to do it, and over decades neither they nor the rest of the industry have returned significantly more as a percentage than business in general (and a lot less than many fields.) We, the investors, will not give BP or the oil industry the capital to provide us with oil unless we are compensated for it - by we, the consumers. If the oil companies are taking unacceptable risks (as certainly seems to be the case) then we, the consumers, are going to have to pay more for our gas and oil to 'allow' the oil companies to reduce the risks (or just not operate where the risks are too high.)

Dear Sarah ...

Sarah Palin at National Rifle Association

With jokes about being a redneck and the revelation that her girlfriends held a baby shower for her at a shooting range, Palin gave the crowd, many from small towns across the South and West, a dose of folksy.

“ "Some of these animal activists are just...crazy," she said. "They think we're killing Bambi's mother. I love animals, but in Alaska, Bambi's mother is dinner." Then, saying she was proud of being labeled a "redneck," she regaled them with a string of one-liners defining the term: "You're a redneck if you've ever had dinner on a ping pong table." Laughs. "You're a redneck if you've ever had a custody fight over a hunting dog. Well, Todd and I haven't, but we've got friends who have!" More laughs. "You're a redneck if your honeymoon was a hunting trip. That was us!" A whole lotta laughs. Wait, there's more. "You're a redneck if you've ever used a fishing license as ID. "You're a redneck if you've ever slept in the back of a pickup rather than pay for a hotel. "You're a redneck if you've ever said to your husband, 'Honey, move the transmission so I can take a bath.' "And you're a redneck if you think the last words of 'The Star Spangled Banner' are 'PLAY BALL!'" The audience laughed so hard my ears will never stop ringing. Read more ” Compare hers to the laugh lines Democrat  crowds respond to. "Republicans are stupid" (Laughs.) "I hate Republicans" (More laughs.) "Limbaugh is an idiot " (A whole lotta laughs) It's why we'll win.

Black Panther White-out

Justice official: Black Panther polling case lacks proof Holder's laugh-a-minute DOJ

“ Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez told the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on Friday there was "insufficient evidence" to bring a civil complaint against members of the New Black Panther Party who disrupted a Philadelphia polling place in the 2008 general elections. ” This is a Hollywood script right?  An  updated replay of Orson Welles's The War of the Worlds? RIGHT?!

Those KGB Files ...

Why doesn’t anyone care about the Soviet document archive?

“ For evidence of this indifference, consider the unread Soviet archives. Pavel Stroilov, a Russian exile in London, has on his computer 50,000 unpublished, untranslated, top-secret Kremlin documents, mostly dating from the close of the Cold War. He stole them in 2003 and fled Russia. Within living memory, they would have been worth millions to the CIA; they surely tell a story about Communism and its collapse that the world needs to know. Yet he can’t get anyone to house them in a reputable library, publish them, or fund their translation. In fact, he can’t get anyone to take much interest in them at all. ”

That's what I think With our access to Soviet files after the USSR break-up, I wondered how it was that only Euro "journalists" were being outed as KGB assets?  I expected to have revealed an  Edward R. Murrow file.  It was Murrow who shaped CBS News by bringing in the likes of Walter Cronkite, whose own legacy continues to shape the networks anti-American politics to this day.    Ed Morrissey asked "When was the last time we saw a movie with a Communist villain?  1959?"  With all the films about how Joe McCarthy (who had nothing to do with Hollywood) persecuted the "Hollywood Ten," you'd think one would have documented that all of them were card carrying communists, ordered by the Comintern  to make sure Joe Stalin, or communism, was never portrayed negatively in film.  Gah, I'm getting wound up.  Read Morrissey.

Deepwater Horizon Target of North Korea Special Ops Service?

“ On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen. . To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) set to begin May 3rd in New York. ”

This is a follow-up to last week's post about a possible NorK oil rig connection.  Is it believable that this was no accident? Absolutely.  That our first response was sending a swat team to the rig created the environment for speculation of this type.Coupla things immediately stand out in this story.  “   ... important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War (the rig was built and financed by S. Korea) “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear device. ” It's apparent that Obama has earned the respect of absolutely nobody in the world, friend or foe. Where we were once viewed on the world gridiron as Notre Dame, now we're Prince Georges County Community College. Ouch.

“ O'Reilly's Parade of Stupid In case you missed it, here is Bill O'Reilly's recent parade of stupidity: Here's Bill giving Ann Coulter a chance to babble nonsensically about those evil, fictional "liberals" who are against everything, and who loved Hitler. And Don't dare think rationally! Of course what would an article featuring stupidity be without an appearance by Sarah Palin, revealing clearly her desire for a Biblical government, and her complete ignorance, compounded by Bill's, of the religion-free nature of our Constitution. I would love just once to hear someone blabbing on about how relevant The Ten Commandments is to our government to name a single law forbidding worshiping idols, or coveting, or not keeping the sabbath. Methinks they don't even know the contents of their own religion. And finally, listen to Bill take the daring position, no doubt popular in his great-grandmother's time, that redistribution of wealth is a new and dangerous concept. Imagine what the below-average Republicans must be like... ” Cheryl Jones

Obama-Lincoln

Parallels of Abraham Lincoln and B. H. Obama:

I'm sure most of us have read the comparison of Lincoln and Kennedy, but did you ever consider the relationship between Lincoln and Obama? You might be surprised.

“ 1. Lincoln placed his hand on the Bible for his inauguration. Obama used the very same Bible. 2. Lincoln came from Illinois . Obama comes from Illinois . 3. Lincoln served in the Illinois Legislature. Obama served in the Illinois Legislature. 4. Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President. 5. Lincoln rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration. Obama rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration. 6. Lincoln was a skinny lawyer. Obama is a skinny lawyer. 7. Lincoln was a Republican. Obama is a skinny lawyer. 8. Lincoln was highly respected. Obama is a skinny lawyer. 9. Lincoln was born in the United States . Obama is a skinny lawyer. 10. Lincoln was honest, so honest in fact, he was called "Honest Abe." Obama is a skinny lawyer. 11. Lincoln saved the United States . Obama is a skinny lawyer. ” JMac

Renaldo Christie?

Can it be ...?

Renaldo rides again -- with a Joisey accent?

After seeing this title  all day yesterday, I finally got around to reading N.J. gov. sets tone for US.  Upon taking office Christie declared a state of emergency, signing an executive order that froze spending, and then, in eight weeks, cutting $13 billion in spending. In March he presented to the Legislature his first budget, which cuts 9 percent of spending, including more than $800 million in education funding; seeks to privatize numerous government functions; projects 1,300 layoffs; and caps tax increases. Teachers unions are incensed, fighting Christie’s proposal that — in order to avoid cuts to education — teachers accept a one-year wage freeze and contribute 1.5 percent to the generous-by-every-standard healthcare plans they now enjoy for free. Christie is adamant about lowering taxes. After taxes were raised 115 times in the last eight years, he said the wealthy are tapped out. Property taxes rose nearly 70 percent in the last decade, and studies show top earners — the 1 percent of taxpayers paying 40 percent of income tax — are fleeing the Garden State. The goal is not just to crawl out of crisis but ultimately to lead, said Christie in his budget address. “If we make the tough decisions now, we will be one year ahead of 80 percent of the states in the race to economic growth. If we fail to act, we will fall even further behind ... by going first, we can become first.” ” Wow.  Before turning in, I checked e-mail.  A blogger, whose judgments about people I find entirely copacetic (save for a curious lapse with left-tard Ezra Klein?)sent this memo (in its entirety). “ Re: GIRL BONERZ http://hotair.com/archives/2010/05/13/video-chris-christie-destroys-reporter-for-calling-him-confrontational/ ” There are very few, if any, Republicans who earn girl bonerz.  The party is loaded with grievously ambitious pretenders who, while adept at responding to shifts in the political winds, never display the skill to tack into them.  By my count, along with Sarah Palin, Christie makes two.  Let us pray.

Obama urges action on job creation

“ President Obama asked Congress on Thursday to swiftly pursue a new round of jobs legislation, arguing that his steps to rescue the economy are working, but nobody knows it. ”

Need we say more about the classic Liberal arrogance that allows them to think gummint creates jobs?  Not create an atmosphere that encourages it, but actually create them?  I didn't think so.
