What Does One Say to “Cwazy Unka Joe”?

My thanks to The Right Scoop

This would be the appropriate answer to Cwazy Unka Joe Biden’s slanderous fat mouth, if more people had as much intestinal fortitude as Sarah Palin:

If we were really domestic terrorists, shoot, President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us wouldn’t he? I mean he didn’t have a problem with paling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers apartment, and shaking hands with Chavez and saying he doesn’t need any preconditions with meeting dictators or wanting to read US Miranda rights to alleged suspected foreign terrorists. No if we were real domestic terrorists I think President Obama wouldn’t have a problem with us.

Oh,wait, she did say that. At least she has the guts to tell the truth. Indeed. Best answer to Cwazy Unka Joe Biden and other dhimmicraps calling anyone who disagrees with their intent to spend the US into a grave “terrorists”.

Makes Me Smile

And not in the sour,  schadenfreude-laden manner D.C. politicians make me smile on the rare occasions when they do.

This.

OK, so Sarah Palin’s not the deepest thinker on the block (and the shallow “tax freedom day” comment is telling–tax freedom day is far, far later in the year than represented), and her policy suggestions reflect that. Still,  as opposed to most other politicians, she does embody a wholesome approach to political decisions that’s sorely lacking in national politics.

Makes me smile.

And the fact that she makes leftard asshats froth at the mouth and act like rabid skunks says a lot in her favor.

Joe the Plumber, Meet Ed the Dairyman

*heh*

What’s to add to that? (Oh, there are details of the Obama tax proposals that are far, far worse than depicted in this lil clip, but 5th grade–or lower–math is about the level of most college graduate sheeple, so we’ll just let it go at that.)

Stop the Presses! Joe Biden Claims to Have Independent Thought!

*heh* One of the highlights of the veep “debate” was Biden trying to play “Me too!” when Palin riffed on McCain’s openess to her independent thinking on some issues. I could swear I heard Mr. Plagiarism claim The Obamassiah valued his counsel for his independent viewpoint, or something along those lines. Was so shocked I neglected writing it down immediately.

While I really, really do wish Palin had dealt directly with a couple of questions, her method of avoiding them was magnificent. “I’m going to talk to the American people”–great line, especially since it came off as authentic.

Didn’t like her “global warming” response, though it beat Joe “I’ll Repeat Whatever I heard Last” Biden’s dumbass certainty.

Did NOT like her softness on Dhimmicrappic reponsibility for Fannie n Freddie.
1. Every. Single. Piece. Of Frannie and Freddie legislation has been Dhimmicrappic policy pushed by Dhimmicrappic legislators (and weakly, if at all, resisted by Repugnican’t legislators) and

2. signed into law by Dhimmicrappic administrations.

3. Almost all the calls for more stringent regulation and oversight of Fannie and Freddie have come from Repugnican’ts and

4. darned near all the roadblock and rhetoric done to stymie more stringent regulation and oversight of Fannie and Freddie have come from Dhimmicraps.

5. The chief beneficiaries of mismanagement and fraud at Fannie and Freddie have been people like Franklin D. Raines (D-Corruption, D.C.) and Jamie Gorelick (also, D-Corruption, D.C.).

6. Top piggies at the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac corruption trough? #1 Dodd, Christopher D $165,400; #2 Obama, Barack D $126,349. Gee, at $31,587.25 per year, in only 4 years of part-time Seante “work” The Obamassiah has nearly overtaken “Piggy” Dodd’s couple of decades plus… And that’s not even counting the fact that he only worked part time at the job for a couple of years before taking virtually ALL time off to run for president.

7. Way, way down on the list? #70 McCain, John R $21,550, averaging not quite $900/year for his Senate years.

Would have been nice if those notes had been in her briefing.

But aside from those three weak points, the rest of her showing tonight was pure gold. Connected. “Say it ain’t so, Joe”–yeh, I was waiting for it.

Biden? I almost went ballistic when the “lawyer” royally screwed up Article I of the Constitution (Article I, Section 3), but then he cheated his way through law school, anyway, didn’t he? What. A. Maroon. Wish Palin had had the assurance to call him on that, but her response was actually better.

I was ticking off factual misstatements by Biden and lost track. Fortunately, I decided to stick around and listen to the talking heads and Fox had Fred Thompson and later Karl Rove to list ’em for me. If Only I’d taken notes. *heh* As usual, Biden was full of it. Oh, and lied through his teeth about his “No coal plants here in America” comment. Just flat out lied.

All-in-all, a good showing from Palin. Joe was sweating and I rather wish we’d had another half hour with him under the lights, since he looked like he was starting to lose it toward the end. Would have been fun to watch him with more Bidenisms than simply the many factual misstatements, the one verifiable, outright bald-faced lie and his “Bosniacs” in reference to the people of Bosnia. (How much do you wanna bet no Mass Media Podpeople will mention the “Bosniacs” reference?)

All Dressed Up and No Place to Go

Michelle Malkin has one of the better (of many good posts at various sites) posts/discussion threads up about the Palin email “hack”. MQ? Glad you asked. It’s from a “tech-savvy reader who monitors the hackers’ site” who emailed Malkin what he’d discovered of the original invader’s own comments:

I read though the emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family

So, all the hoopla, hype and spin the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind has put on it in the last coupla days (the “She was hiding state business/’Troopergate’!” bullshit) leaves the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind drowning in the Obamassiah tank with no place (legitimate) to go.

Of course, that won’t stop them from going all sorts of illegitimate places in their attempts to make radishes out of bunny poop.

The real gem in all this? The Obamassiah hands out marching orders,

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face…” [emphasis in the original bloviation by the Obamassiah]

And–surprise! surprise!–an Obamabot takes him seriously:

David Kernell Named in Sarah Palin E-Mail Hack, Son of Democrat Mike Kernell
By Jon Shanks
Sep 19, 2008

Who hacked the e-mail of Sarah Palin? Right now it appears that authorities are looking at David Kernell. Tennessee state Rep. Mike Kernell [D-Negligent Father–twc] became nationally known this afternoon. He can thank his son, David. Look out as this just got very partisan and this does not bode well for Democrats who now appear they will do anything to try and defeat John McCain and Sarah Palin including breaking the law.

Who woulda thunk it? *heh*

Election Map 08?

Dick Morris, the slimy polpundit we all love to despise, has a new map of the current presidential race as he sees it. Caveat: this is a snapshot from a political junnkie’s take. Any relationship to real reality is largely a construct of his own imagination.

Now, keep in mind, The Obamassiah has been flaling around for a while trying to find some sort of issue he can fake speaking to with convincing “authority” and believes he’s found one in the economy. The degree to which he can convince people to believe his lies about his tax policy will be critical to his success. I think the degree to which McCain talks about the effects of his own tax policy and the degree to which Palin hammers the energy issue in terms of both the economy and national security will be key for them. Biden, of course, is of no consequence at all.

Actually, recent polls showing McCain within 5 points in New York (!?!), within 2(!!!) in Washington and closing even in Minnesota (now, that’s gotta be giving my Wonder Woman’s sibs a rash!) may be even better signs.

But. It all depends on how much McCain/Palin can overcome The Obamassiah’s lies and the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind endorsement of those lies.

The critical factor that’s lost in all this noise: how is the presidential race, which gets almost all the airtime and ink, going to affect senate, house and state and local races? An encouraging note is how much Dhimmicrappic contestants are sliding away from identifying with or even mentioning The One. If (still a pretty big IF) McCain/Palin can overcome the lies, damned lies and Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind “news” to a significant degree, their Electoral College victory may be large enough to provide fairly sweeping coat tails. I’m unsure just how beneficial a Repugnican’t majority in one or both houses combined with a MCCain/Palin administration would be, though. Maybe I’d have to rely on a Palin check and balance on some of Juan Mexicain’s tendencies…

Listing Starboard–again

First, a note about my browsing habits (part of which are noted here). After 13 years of using the Opera browser (during most of which I paid for the privilege–it was that good in its early years as opposed to the competition), I have developed habits some of which may be becoming a new habit for recent Firefox and IE7 users, notably humongous numbers of open tabs. In fact, since I may be running two or three instances of Opera–different versions, for different OSes–at once in the same machine, I may have b etween 50 and 80 different tabs open at once. Hence, I sometimes lose track–bad habit!–of what led me to a particular link. And, since some of the Opera installs I run are THE latest snapshots of works-in-progress, I do see this come into play every now and then:

WARNING: This is a development snapshots: it contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

*heh*

That said, here are a few recent “starboard leaning” lost links:

Essential reading on recent Wall Street/Banking events.: How the Masters of the Universe ran amok and cost us the earth

“The first casualty of an American presidential campaign is context…” (*heh*) Paul Greenberg notes in his column, “In the Pigs and Lipstick Dept., Context Can Be All”

In “The Gibson Doctrine” Dennis Prager, the epitome of a “kinder, gentler” conservative columnist, deconstructs Charlie Gibson–oh so kindly and gently–and leaves the bastard bleeding on the floor. An excerpt:

When he asked Palin whether she agreed with the Bush Doctrine without defining it, he gave the game away. He lost any pretense of fairness. Asking the same unanswerable question three times had one purpose — to humiliate the woman. That was not merely partisan. It was mean.

I couldn’t answer it — and I have been steeped in international affairs since I was a Fellow at the Columbia University School of International Affairs in the 1970s. I have since been to 82 countries, and have lectured in Russian in Russia and in Hebrew in Israel. Most Americans would consider a candidate for national office who had such a resume qualified as regards international relations. Yet I had no clue how to answer Gibson’s question.

I had no clue because there is no right answer…

Charlie Gibson trying to assume Dan Rather’s mantle: “Exact words”=”Fake but accurate” for an audience that cannot keep its eye on the ball.

I can actually recall the web search that led to these next couple of links. I had reason to recall The Third World County Great Blackout of January 2007 and thought to doublecheck my emergency preparedness:

One Democrat At a Time

McCain is so far inside The Obamassiah’s OODA Loop now it’s beginning to get scary for the Dhimmicrap Party elite. Lifelong Dhimms, PUMAs and self-labeled independants are all seeing something different, but a Bethesda p-sych shows one typical response to the McCain Palin pick(among many–and that’s what’s so devastating: many different “typical responses”):

Right now, for me, gender trumps everything else. If Democratic women wait for the perfect woman to come along, we will never elect a woman. I will vote for McCain-Palin. I urge other women to do the same. I promise to be the first person knocking on her door if Roe v. Wade or any other legislation that goes against the rights of women is threatened. But in Governor Palin, I find a woman of integrity, who not only talks the talk but walks the walk. I can work with that. I will work with that.

While I disagree with a one-issue litmus test for political candidates (heck, I’ll admit I came close with my two-issue-based distaste for Juan Mexicain), I find it interesting that Governor Palin’s obvious authenticity in a field of manufactured political personalities is what apparently won over this commenter–and others like her I’ve read.

More, please.

Glad I asked me. Here’s more:

It’s time to build, and build big. As PUMAs let us make it our personal mission to personally recruit 3 people to our cause between now and election day. What is our cause? Taking as many votes away from Obama/Biden as possible. Those two should NOT and must NOT be elected in 2008.

And there’s plenty more at the site linked. More?

Go McCain!! Sarah Palin may be the best choice this year. I wanted, will want, will always want Hillary. Since I am deprived of her, this ticket will get my vote. If it is a political maneuver, I don’t care. At least he wants my vote. Big Donna told me to stay home. Ain’t gonna happen folks…….I’m a McCain voting PUMA.

And

I am for Palin. I think she is courageous in her convictions. I was for Hillary, but now I am in the thak for McCain/Palin.
PumsaForPalin!!!

And the tin eared attacks on Palin haven’t helped The Obamassiah’s case, either, since his best weapon–the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind in the tank for him, is discrediting itself with abandon:

“Courtney Hazlett over at MSNBC’s “The Scoop” is reporting that thousands of “Us Weekly” subscribers have not only called the magazine to cancel their subscriptions — some reports say up to 10,000 cancellations have occurred — but have also contacted advertisers and expressed their outrage that they are advertising with the celebrity news magazine that would so blatantly try to destroy Governor Palin.

Hazlett is hearing that the editorial board of “Us Weekly” had thought they pegged it right that media pressure and attacks would see Palin pulled from the McCain ticket even before her debut speech. Because the media had so quickly swarmed to destroy her, they thought she was toast before she even had the chance to accept the nomination.”

Oh, Hivemind, please, please don’t throw Sarah into that briar patch! *heh*

And thanks to the folks at Puma08.com for running down the pic of Sarah Palin and the hog. A nice contrast with Urkle on a Bike:

Hmmm… doesn’t The One know he’s contributing excess CO2 because he didn’t check his tire pressure?

Mending Walls: Politics

“Good fences make good neighbors.”

In several posts over the years here at twc, I’ve invoked the principles of Classicism. Usually these invocations are in aid of addressing the artistic merits–or more often lack thereof–of different expressions claiming artistic merit, but I think the principles have a broader application to society at large, as well. For review, here they are:

Aside from technical matters of form, the principles of Classicism, as found in Classical Music, were

  • balance
  • clarity
  • accessibility
  • expressiveness
  • edification

Think about it a bit. Wouldn’t it be better were political discourse to be balanced? No more thumb on the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind scales or being in the tank for one viewpoint or candidate over another, just balanced reports by reporters who are aware of their biases and attempt to be fair in reporting the viewpoints and positions of those with whom they disagree? And wouldn’t it be amazing if that behavior were to spill over into political speech by candidates? What a boon for participatory government that would be!

And how about clarity? If politicians would seek to be clear, open and transparent instead of obfuscating their views with obscurantist babble and long-winded perorations and rambling perambulations designed to conceal the fact that they’re avoiding questions, people might actually listen with understanding (even appreciation! Amazing thought). Clear, unequivocal statements that lean heavily on fact and reason to persuade would be refreshing in politics, don’t you think?

And with clarity, accessibility goes hand-in-hand. If politicians were accessible, open to honest inquiry and continually aiming to make themselves available for discussion with The People, continually striving to make their policies, goals and purposes understandable instead of hiding behind doubletalk, perhaps we’d be able to have more political discussions about policy than about personality.

Expressiveness. Is anyone else besides me tired almost to death with the low quality of political speaking? Persuasive speech that depends on projecting phony emotion rather than full of genuine emotion powered by real reasons is a paper tiger. Even reading from teleprompters, it seems most contemporary politicians have the persuasive speaking ability of a doped chimp. Not pointing fingers, exactly, but when The One is held up as an example of expressive and persuasive public speaking, I begin to suspect the ones describing him so of being lobotomized and deaf.

Or perhaps it’s just that they’ve been around contemporary examples of political speech too long and have become effectively brain damaged by those examples. Could be. Rather in the manner of a public that laps up the artistic poison that is top 40 “artists'” manufactured “music” because their ears have been long dulled by exposure to similar noise.

Could it be that Sarah Palin’s convention speech electrified so many in part because it embodied at least some elements of Classical principles? My exhortation to her would be: Punch up the good stuff, Sarah. More clarity, please. Be balanced and restrained when dealing with jackasses like Charlie Gibson. Remain accessible. You need no lessons on expressiveness; just keep it up; more, please. And continue to build up (edify) our coutry, our people, by talking about what’s right about America. Proudly display the confidence that faith trumps doubt, that real hope and real change, as opposed to the phony hope n change (or is that “shuck n jive”–oops! now I’ll be accused of being a racist! My bad. *yawn*) of empty rhetoric, must come from the People.

Maybe some of it’ll rub off on the smart pols. I’ll not hold my breath, but maybe.

Palin Watch: Gibson Interview 0.02

Second part of the Gibson interview of Palin. Best response so far? From a commenter at Hot Air,

She’s so awesome. She’s like fillet mignon after two years of eating turd sandwiches.

I might have said “A breath of fresh air after two years of noxious B.S.,” but I’m happy to go with the assessment above.

Abortion: check.

Homosexuality: check.

2nd Amendment: check.

Sexism: check.

Charlie Gibson stifled: check.

What’s not to like?
