Win at any cost

Filed Under (Politics) by Don C on 26-08-2008

Win at any cost doesn’t sound like much of a change from politics are usual. For the liberals in general and Obama in particular, even the 1st Amendment is a price not too great to pay

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial. (Link)

We can only assume this is how Obama will operate if elected. Attack and intimidate the general public for saying anything negative about Obama

In a letter to station managers, Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer wrote: “Your station is committed to operating in the public interest, an objective that cannot be satisfied by accepting for compensation material of such malicious falsity.”

And finagle the legal system

Bauer also wrote to Deputy Assistant Attorney General John C. Keeney, noting that the ad is a “knowing and willful attempt to evade the strictures of federal election law.”

Notice there was no official claims of “falsities” made to the Attorney General’s office.

Turning Tides

I think this might be a noteworthy news story if for nothing else but the comments. Comments from the liberal victims of Bush Derangement Syndrome are present as ever, but they seem to be outnumbered by regular people and furthermore, the thumbs up and thumbs down moderation gizmo indicates that the BDS jerks are about 4-1 in the minority.

On the other hand, negative comments about Pelosi are in some cases 10-1 thumbs up. What’s noteworthy is that the story is not running at Townhall.com, but is running at the SFGate, the web site of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The thumbs up and thumbs down moderation gizmo really puts a damper on the libs ability to troll through every single public policy venue and spam the comments with vitriol and verbally beat down any dissenters.

Obama and Michelle fist bump

Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Obama campaign says about the cartoon:

“The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama’s right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive.”

And many will see the cartoon depiction as spot on.

Now watch all the crazy jihadists call for blood for depicting their prophet Obama in such an offensive manner. There may be a fatwa calling for the death of artist Barry Blitt. You never can tell with these crazies.

more…

Thanks to the indignation of those who blog from the far left, way more people will see this cartoon than would have normally. Certainly way more will see the cartoon than those who will actually read the article.

Earl needs a clue

Earl Ofari Hutchinson seems to be a silly ass

[T]his kind of over the top, sweeping talk about alleged black father irresponsibility from Obama isn’t new. In stump speeches, he’s pounded black men for their alleged father dereliction, irresponsibility and negligence. Whether Obama is trying to shore up his family values credentials with conservatives, or feels the need to vent personal anger from the pain and longing from being raised without a father, or criticizes out of a genuine concern about the much media-touted black family breakup is anybody’s guess. But Obama clearly is fixated on the ever-popular notion of the absentee black father. And that fixation for whatever reason is fed by a mix of truth, half truths and outright distortion.

Yeah, there is absolutely no basis in fact to support a claim that black males are generally irresponsible fathers. Obama just has a misguided fixation that would make him tell these horrible lies against blacks.

I am kind of surprised that Pajamas Media would even run such a silly argument. Lots of good stuff in the comments, though. A sample:

Being a responsible father, not having kids with multiple women, providing for the needs of your children…are not behaviors unique to white/Asian men….but there would be an enormous stigma attached to white/Asian members of that culture for “bad behavior” in those situatons. There could exist no excuse (poverty, loss of job etc) which would remove the stigma or “excuse” the behavior.

If 65-70% of black children are born into single mother families, and black culture says…”well, you know…that’s the white man’s fault”…that issue isn’t going to go away.

Another sample:

I didn’t know where this poison came from at the time, but I do remember the black kids at school calling the smart black kids, the ones with decent academic records, the ones who could read, write, and speak well — oreos. They were very specific: if you succeed academically, you aren’t really black. I heard those words hurled at my friends. And now, I know that they got if from church.

Gingrich on Obama:

“Obama is a very articulate, very intelligent, Harvard law graduate, who is extraordinarily smart, and he’s not going to come across in a debate like some guy who’s dopey,” Gingrich said. “He’s going to come across as fully prepared. He knows how to study all this stuff. He has the military advisers.”

I don’t buy it.  Obama has charisma, but that is it. Has anyone ever heard Obama utter an original thought that wasn’t considered a gaffe?

The Russians are such a disappointment

Filed Under (Russia, Politics, Inept Bureaucracy) by Don C on 08-06-2008

I was going to write about this article yesterday (or was that Friday?) but it didn’t make the cut. But I came across it again and it pissed me off again so… Reported from Bloomberg:

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said “economic egoism” has led to what may be the worst economic contraction since the depression of the 1930s, and placed some of the blame on the U.S.

I wonder how much American grain this asshole has eaten in his life? Ingrate.

The Russians, for all their miserable success at world domination, have to be the most egotistical jerks the world has ever seen. And for letting the Russians jump right back up to the table after their sound defeat in the cold war, Americans are probably the stupidest. Looking back I ask (again,) what peace dividend? There never was a peace dividend. There was a just a brief period of time where money was wasted on social programs insteadof wasted in the military.

Make no mistake, defending ourselves is a necessary cost, but still it is a waste of money when wrongheaded political decisions cause us to have to spend even a dollar more than is necessary. Our leaders squandered an historic opportunity to forge a lasting and prosperous relationship with the eastern bloc after the cold war. But no. The American leadership allowed things to go back to exactly how they were except now we have the crazy fucking Muslims thrown in the mix with all their crazy oil money. We are worse off now than we were.

The Russians and their complicity with pre-war Iraq and Iran are one of the biggest causes for all the problems we face right now. It was the Russians along with the French who made sure the terror problem didn’t get nipped in the bud because every dollar we spend on this terror non-sense is a dollar wasted, and Ivan knows this. For every Billion the Russians made from Saddam it was costing the U.S. a hundred billion to counteract. Ivan doesn’t fear the Muslims and terrorism so much because they don’t have any problems with wiping out a small city of Muslims. Or two. They don’t have a problem sending a million Russians to die as long as they kill 10 million Muslims.

I’m not trying to say we need to be more like the Russians, I’m saying we need to be more like Americans. We are in dire need of honest, principled people in charge of the state apparatus. We need to routinely purge our political class, including the bureaucrats. I don’t care if we send ‘em home with a sad look or hang ‘em from the light post on main street, just so long as we get rid of em. Sure a new batch will eventually rot, but so what. On the principle that everybody is corruptible, our elections need to be about ritual purgings where it is expected that almost everybody gets sent home. Make it like a Japanese game show where the losers are ridiculed, maybe hit with rotten vegetables.

The liberals like to say that the the War on Terror is costing us a trillion dollars a year. The reality is that the liberals are costing us this money. Failure to take care of the terror problem quickly and efficiently and at its source is costing us a trillion dollars a year. Failure to destroy the old Russian regime, for the second time, is costing us a trillion dollars a year. Prohibiting America from utilizing it’s own natural resources is costing us a trillion dollars a year. Allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons under the current terror regime is going to cost way more than a trillion dollars a year. It could cost us our very soul when a million Jews are wiped from the face of the earth in an instant.

UPDATE: Rumors Michelle Obama said “whitey”

Filed Under (Culture War, Politics) by Don C on 06-06-2008

I figured the story was bogus since nothing happened the other day, but we have some movement. If I was a political operative with a tape, I would wait to release it until I had some kind of response from Obama. Now we have a response from Obama

“We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in e-mails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it,” Obama said to the McClatchy reporter during a press conference aboard his campaign plane. “That gives legs to the story. If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it.”

A denial of the second category: Categorically deny the allegations of “Whitey” with the firm belief there is no tape.

Rumors Michelle Obama said “whitey”

Filed Under (Culture War, Politics) by Don C on 03-06-2008

OMFG r u kidding me? A black person is catching flack for saying “whitey.” That’s hard to believe but I suppose sauce for the white gander is sauce for the black goose. (Link)

Here is an idea, instead of speculating on whether there is a tape or not, how ’bout someone just ask Michelle if she ever said such a thing. Simply ask, “Michelle, did you at any time ever excoriate ‘whitey’ from the pulpit?” I am willing to accept her word for it. If Michelle says she never said “whitey” then I will believe her.

On the other hand if Michelle is all like, “Um, I don’t recall ever having said the word ‘whitey’” then I probably would wonder if a tape would help jog her memory. If Michelle is unavailable or refuses to answer questions about the word “whitey”, then I will have to believe she did indeed say “whitey” and that she is indeed a racist. Only if she says something like, “No! Categorically no! I am not a racist and I have never said such a racist word” am I willing believe her… unless there is a tape of course.

What a pickle for the Obamas. There are only three options here:

  1. Michelle did not say “whitey”
  2. Michelle said “Whitey,” but there is no tape
  3. Michelle said “Whitey,” and there is a tape

Which really only leaves only a few possible choices of counterattack:

  1. Categorically deny the allegations of “Whitey” knowing there is no proof because Michelle would never say such a thing. Obviously this is the optimal scenario.
  2. Categorically deny the allegations of “Whitey” with the firm belief there is no tape.
  3. Admit to hating whitey.

Seems the only way Barak Obama can come out unscathed politically is if he knows that Michelle has never used such hurtful and hateful derogatory language, but you know thats a joke. I bet that girl says “whitey” or “cracker”, or worse, every time she opens her mouth. But really the whole thing is moot. For one, white people don’t give a damn if Michelle said “whitey.” And for two, the people who support Obama do not care if Michelle fornicated with a goat in the middle of main street while screaming “I hate Whitey.” She’s entitled to say or do whatever she wants. She is after all a black victim of white oppression.

The biggest surprise is that “whitey” is the worst thing they have Michelle Obama on saying on tape, allegedly.

Why the Democrats are throwing Hillary under the bus:

The Democratic Party is struggling to raise money for its convention in Denver on Aug. 25-28, with fund-raising by the host committee falling far short of the party’s goals and lagging behind the Republicans’ efforts for their convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul. (Link)

Obama raising more money than Clinton has been the news since, well, since the media anointed Obama some several months ago. That the DNC can’t even adequately fund their convention while Obama’s coffers are healthy is telling. Support for Obama isn’t translating into support of the Democrats so they are jumping like rats from a sinking ship. They can’t help it. When a political scalawag lives off the public cheese, it instinctively follows the cheese no matter how bad it might stink. In some cases, they get nervous and follow just the promise of some cheese. Some new cheese that comes from Change in the cheese.

Obama has publicized yet another weakness that the Republicans can use against him:

“But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable,” he said.

Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans “to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class … and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable.”

Obviously something there they don’t want getting out. But even if there is nothing there, Obama has hung a big red light over what would be a weakness. He doesn’t like anyone talking bad about his dumb ass wife.

I guess we will see Michelle Obama baking cookies next.

GOP Rebranded

Biden to Bush: Bullshit

Filed Under (Politics) by Don C on 15-05-2008

With such vehement outbursts, I think Biden and his cronies have made it quite clear what the Democrats consider to be their big weakness in the upcoming general election: Their planned policy of appeasement up to and including the surrender of Iraq to Iran. Anyone and everyone knows this is what they are going to do.

If I were a Republican operative I would insist that Republicans hammer on Barack’s appeasement strategy from now until November. “Oh, you’re not a Muslim but you want to surrender to Iran? Hmmm.” I know. That’s racist, right? But not to worry as I am sure that nothing of the kind will happen for the same reason why no one can show imagery of 9/11: It’s too upsetting… for the fucking Democrats. I’m about ready to start the purging of Democrats. We are way past time.

Here is a basic outline of our efforts against worldwide terorism:

Bush I takes Saddam Hussein out of the game.

Clinton let’s Saddam back at the table by not vigorously enforcing UN Sanctions and allowing the profligate Oil-for-Food farce to enrich our enemies.

Bush II takes Saddam out of the game for good.

Obama surrenders Iraq back to the terrorists in Iran

After this talk and appeasement of Obama fails, then what?

Democrat policy is retarded

Dems do the same things expecting different results

To help correct the mortgage industry problems, house Democrats are in favor of more of the same policy that is the primary cause of the problem in the first place:

The Democrats’ measure, aimed at preventing foreclosures, would have the government step in to insure up to $300 billion in new mortgages for distressed homeowners. A House vote is expected by Thursday.

You can not make it easier for a person who can not afford a house to nonetheless buy a house anyway and expect anything but foreclosures down the road. To expect anything different is naive and/or insane.

The American Dream has nothing to do with the government providing everyone a house. The American Dream is about people seizing opportunity, working hard, and buying a house they can afford. The government providing for everyone is the exact opposite of the American Dream as it is traditionally understood.

Dems want immediate fix or forgetaboutit

What is it about the Dems that make them consistently cut off their noses to spite their faces? The Democrats would rather immolate the nation rather than let any non-liberal, non-PC policy succeed. If we sit back and let the Dems do everything their way, America will be destroyed.

On gas prices, Bush again asserted that he understands the pinch on typical families. He pushed for steps that critics say would offer little help anytime in the short term, such as encouraging construction of oil refineries and allowing more oil drilling in areas where it is now precluded.

Critics fail to acknowledge that something which it took Democrats two generations to destroy can’t be fixed in a day. In a market that is being driven to astronomical levels fueled primarily by manipulation and speculation based on fear of the future, alleviating those fears is just as important, and maybe more important, than bringing more production on-line immediately. If the speculators know we are building new refineries and if they know we will soon be drilling everywhere we can set up a rig, and if they know we will be building 50 new nuclear reactors the price of energy will fall.

It’s like after destroying our domestic energy production infrastructure, suddenly the Dems want Bush to shit some green energy in sufficient quantities to bring energy prices back into normal atmosphere or he and the Republicans are failure.

White working-class: Obama is okay except he is a black Muslim

Filed Under (Biased Media, Culture War, Politics) by Don C on 07-05-2008

Daily news liberal hack:

Such feelings leave Clinton and the Democratic Party in a tough spot. With the largest number of remaining delegates now being party insiders, they have to decide if Obama can overcome enough of that antipathy - essentially deciding if enough working-class whites will back away from the black candidate, whether because of the false Muslim rumors, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright flap or old-fashioned racism.

Hmmm. Who has proven the Muslim rumors to be false? How could such rumors be proven false?

I guess there is no way that working-class whites might back away from Barak because Barak is just another lying sack-of-shit liberal politician. Or because Barak has a Muslim name and we are at war with Muslims and he wants to surrender to Iran as soon as he takes office. Or because he hangs with terrorists (Ayres) and American hate mongers (Rev Wright and Michelle Obama.)

It would take an indefinite suspension of common sense for any American of any color to vote for Barak Obama.

There are some cruel realities going on. First the Revrund Sharpton, now Hillary Clinton. Hillary said something I could really get behind.

“We’re going to go right at OPEC,” she said. “They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush place in the world, they decide how much oil they’re going to produce and what price they’re going to put it at,”

If Hillary is a war-time president in a war that she started the rest of her agenda will fall by to the wayside. Eight years and we didn’t hear more than a peep from Bush on fixing social security. Maybe we can get Hillary on the Republican ticket. Hillary vs Obama to the very end.

Even though it’s too late to nip the Muslem/Islamic Jihad problem in the bud, there is still no need to let the problem continue unabated. Every suicide bomb that explodes is financed by petro-dollars and I am simply tired of funding the same jihad that’s trying to destroy western civilization. The only problem with Hillary is that she is most likely lying through her teeth.

I don’t see what the problem is:

“My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East,” McCain said.

The expected GOP nominee sought to clarify his comments later, after his campaign plane landed in Phoenix. He said he didn’t mean the U.S. went to war in Iraq five years ago over oil. (Link)

Of course we did. We absolutely have to have secure uninterrupted access to fuel. I don’t know about McCain’s energy policy, but the statement is accurate and stands without need of clarification.

For people who have been driving more than 40 miles to work for a job that earns less than about $25 dollars an hour, the gas price is a deal killer. Gas prices of more than $5 to $10 bucks a gallon without commiserate increases in wages will change the fundamental structure of our society. People simply wont be able to afford to drive more than is necessary.

Barak “The Dagger” Obama

Filed Under (Politics) by Don C on 23-04-2008

The reason why so many people are enthralled with Obama despite the plethora of evidence that Obama is an idiot will forever remain a mystery to me (even though I did posit an idea or two on the phenomena quite some while ago. I know it was tawdry, but it explains it just as much as anything else I’ve heard proffered as a reason.)

On the other hand, the political party bosses going for Obama is not an unfathomable mystery. First and foremost one can deduce that there are tons and tons of money involved. Considering that Obama has announced that he will surrender in Iraq, I wonder how much of that money is filtering over here from Iran?

Another plausible reason for Democrat super delegates, governors, former cabinet members, etc to throw their support to Obama is that maybe the Democrats see an opportunity to get rid of the Clintons. Like when Darth Vader seized the opportunity to toss his master Darth Sidious, the despicable Emperer Palpatine over the railing into the reactor the Democrats are throwing the Clinton’s under the bus.

McCain hit piece

Filed Under (Biased Media, Politics) by Don C on 23-04-2008

Shame on the LA Times:

McCain would be the oldest man to enter the White House if he is elected president, and questions have been raised about his health.

McCain has twice developed melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer.

The fact that he is legally designated with a disability pension may raise further questions.

Yes, and the LA Times is the one raising the questions. As proof the LA Times offers someone other than the LA Times raising the questions:

“It is a legitimate question to ask about the commander in chief: Is he fit to serve,” said Robert Schriebman, a senior Pentagon tax advisor and tax attorney who recently retired as a judge advocate for a unit of the California National Guard.

I think it’s also a legitimate question to ask about a LA Times “journalist”. Schriebman didn’t even say “presumptive” commander in chief. Or “candidate”. Schriebman might have been talking about Bush for all we know.

But the LA Times clears it up by paraphrasing what Schriebman actually meant to say:

If McCain can hike across the Grand Canyon, then why should he be getting disability payments from the government that are tax-exempt, Schriebman asked.

This guy works at the Pentagon? And where’s the direct quote on that? It would take a clueless individual, with exactly no tact, to bring up McCain’s disability pension.

Here is the best actual quote in the story. You know, something that someone actually said:

“I don’t know of any physical requirements to be commander in chief,” [former POW] Galanti said. “He would have a nice car to drive around in and a nice airplane to fly in.”

Oil vs Food

Filed Under (Economics, Politics) by Don C on 15-04-2008

I love it, I love it, I love it.

The idea of turning farms into fuel plants seemed, for a time, like one of the answers to high global oil prices and supply worries. That strategy seemed to reach a high point last year when Congress mandated a fivefold increase in the use of biofuels.

But now a reaction is building against policies in the United States and Europe to promote ethanol and similar fuels, with political leaders from poor countries contending that these fuels are driving up food prices and starving poor people. Biofuels are fast becoming a new flash point in global diplomacy, putting pressure on Western politicians to reconsider their policies, even as they argue that biofuels are only one factor in the seemingly inexorable rise in food prices.

In some countries, the higher prices are leading to riots, political instability and growing worries about feeding the poorest people. Food riots contributed to the dismissal of Haiti’s prime minister last week, and leaders in some other countries are nervously trying to calm anxious consumers. (Link)

Nothing is worse than a bunch of poor hungry people beating at your door, as the Haitian Prime Minister found out. Even Allah will be hard pressed to stop an angry mob of starving people.

I got news for the crybabies, the price of food going up is a natural result of the price of energy going up. Food shortages are a natural occurrence when there is increased competition for the food supply. When food can be burned for energy more cheaply than oil, then corn isn’t food anymore, it’s fuel. Applying resources in the most efficient way is the capitalistic way. It is the free market system. It is the American way. It’s why we win.

The “global food crisis” is a strategic political gift from God. Of course our stupid politicians will blow it. The children of Africa will be far more important than the survival of western civilization.

Well, war is Hell.

And here’s how… The People’s Lobby, or Mob Lobby

If I’m elected president I will end the debate over electronic voting once and for all. I will propose and ask the congress to pass a bill funding the installation and operation of secure electronic voting across the nation. The eVote system will be Internet based to minimize the cost of implementation and will be funded for the next five years. The system will be systematically tested with monthly referendum voting (maybe weekly once we get the system hitting on all cylinders.) To avoid any possible constitutional problems, the referendums will be non-binding. All omnibus spending bills, entitlement programs, and basically all projects costing money will be put on the referendum ballots.

The referendum results will be sent to Congress and local state houses to include in debates. In order to improve and refine the system the voting data will be collected and collated by several separate institutions and analyzed for overvotes, ballot stuffing, etc.

The main purpose of the system will be:

a) To test available electronic voting technology to see if it is adequate for conducting binding elections.

b) To highlight those politicians who are not “with the program.” They will be the ones always going against the grain of the referendums, explaining why the voting system is unfair, unreliable, unconstitutional, and so on.

c) To put a stop to politicians pushing agendas that are beyond their mandate and beyond our pocketbook.

d) To take the voting mechanism away from the powerful and corrupt political parties and give it back to the people.

We don’t need expensive electronic voting machines from Diebold. We don’t even need electronic voting machines. All we need is secure verifiable Internet connections which are very cheap. But the nicest thing about secure, verifiable Internet connections is that they are established by the individual, not a piece of Diebold machinery controlled by who knows who.

Obama talks about change, but if you want change, as President I will bring you change. Mob Lobby is just a tiny sample. I will change the orientation of who holds the power in America. My policies will bring power to the people in ways you can’t imagine and that will make my enemies want me eliminated.
