All You Really Need to Do Is Just Pay Attention

Seriously. Recall The Zero’s blather last week wandering around in search of a justification for his Libyan adventure? The key comment was buried in the toxic fecal matter that issued from his pie hole:

“I believe that this movement of change cannot be turned back, and that we must stand alongside those who believe in the same core principles that have guided us.”

In order to discern what those “core principles” he refers to are, we need to ask a few questions:

WHO is The Zero saying that “we” share these “core principles” with?

Answer: Islamic savages on one side of a conflict to decide which set of Islamic savages will be in power in Libya.

WHAT are the “core principles guiding the Islamic savages on both sides of the conflict?

Well, let’s see: both sides profess to revere as the perfect man to emulate in all manner of life a man whose life and teachings demonstrate (and teach as proper) the rape and brutalization of women, mass murder, that it is right and proper to steal anything not nailed down (as long as it is the property of “unbelievers”), applaud pedophiles, and believe the “kafir” (which means anyone who’s not an Islamic savage, including almost all those idiots who voted for The Zero) is good only for butcher sport and plunder, etc.

WHO is this “we” The Zero refers to?

Surely not you and I? Do you and I share the “core principles” that guide Muslims? Do you revere a “prophet” whose life and teachings DEMAND that his followers commit mass murder, rape, pillage, abuse of women, slavery, and such like? Well, I can’t be absolutely sure about you, but I’m not a part of any “we” that shares those values. Obviously the “we” The Zero refers to does share those “core principles” with the group of Islamic savages The Zero has aligned himself with, so that “we” must be Muslims.

Then again, since Mohamed also taught–both in word and deed*–that lying to “unbelievers” to advance his cause is not only permissible but required if force alone cannot advance the aims of Islam, then he could also just be blowing smoke up our skirts by asserting the “we” part of the statement. He could be standing alone in his siding with one group of Islamic savages against another group of Islamic savages.

Or he could be using a “royal ‘we'”.

Or maybe he had a mouse in his pocket.


*Remember: The Butcher of Medina earned that sobriquet via his first “great victory”–the massacre of the Jews of what is now Medina after he had drawn them out, unarmed, under a flag of truce. Then, of course, he rewarded his band of thugs by sharing the rape of the women and the plunder with them.

Sweet guy.


h.t. to TF for reminding me of The Zero’s lil slip up.

I Don’t Like Donald Trump

He’s a blow-dried blowhard, IMO. Just listening to him speak gives me a rash.

But. My, oh, my, didn’t he snooker Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind into hoisting itself with its own petard? You probably know the details by now. The Hivemind has been covering for The Zero’s failure to produce a verifiable copy of an official source document–his birth certificate–for several years now by claiming the “anyone can phone in a part” computer-generated copy of a Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth is the same as a birth certificate, which names names and places, including the delivering physician and place of delivery, as well as signatures of witnesses to the birth and an official acceptance of their representations.

Nope, for The Zero, a document that’s computer generated and simply stating that a birth took place is enough.

But, when Trump released his “Birth Certificate” the Hivemind immediately jumped to attention and sneered, almost as one (as any “good” hivemind is wont to do), that what Trump had produced wasn’t good enough. No, it was merely a hospital “birth certificate” (complete with witness signatures, name of delivering physician, etc.–IOW, much, much more info than on the computer-generated piece of crap they say if good enough for their Obamassiah) and so proved nothing.

So, what did Trump then do? Oh, he released his official Department of Health Birth Certificate.

*heh*

If the Hivemind had any scruples whatsoever, it’d be wearing sackcloth and ashes, flagellating itself with steel-tipped whips and wailing in repentance.

BTW, I checked, and if I needed an official replacement B.C., all it’d take would be

1. a copy of my current driver’s license or similar ID
2. an SASE
3. $15

Big. Stinking. Deal. That’s something that wouldn’t even take 15 minutes over a lunch break to handle. I guess The Zero’s just not had 15 minutes to take care of such an onerous task anytime in the last 3-4 years since the issue was first raised.

But he and his minions have had many, many hours and millions of dollars to invest in preventing anyone from compelling him to produce a birth certificate, as other presidents have had to do. (Anyone recall the kerfuffle about Chester A. Arthur’s natural citizenship qualifications? Oh, I suppose you just weren’t around at the time… *heh* But heck, surely you recall Dwight Eisenhower having to produce his legal birth certificate to get on the ballot in 1952? I mean, sure he’d graduated West Point, served honorably in the armed forces and been a public figure for years, etc., but he still had to produce a birth certificate to show the circumstances of his birth to run back in those days of yore… )

Maybe The Zero and his minions have spent those millions to avoid the release of his official birth certificate simply as their own private means of preserving or creating jobs in the legal sector during the economic downturn. Yeh, that’s it: it’s just private charity.

Beltway Lobotomized

Peggy Noonan, writing in the WSJ, demonstrates once again that becoming a Beltway Pundit requires a lobotomy.

It all seems rather mad, doesn’t it? The decision to become involved militarily in the Libyan civil war couldn’t take place within a less hospitable context. The U.S. is reeling from spending and deficits, we’re already in two wars, our military has been stretched to the limit, we’re restive at home, and no one, really, sees President Obama as the kind of leader you’d follow over the top. “This way, men!” “No, I think I’ll stay in my trench.” People didn’t hire him to start battles but to end them. They didn’t expect him to open new fronts. Did he not know this?

Peggy Noonan used to be rather bright until she had a Beltway Lobotomy. What The Zero is doing seems patently obvious to anyone who’s taken even a cursory glance at his background. Peggy, if you’d been studying The Zero’s playbook (Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the Cloward-Piven Strategy), you’d know he needs everything he can throw at the U.S. to wreck the economy and strain government services to the breaking point–and beyond–in order to bring down the whole country.

Further: Noonan writes, “In fact, this may turn out to be true: If Gadhafi survives, the crisis will go on and on. If Gadhafi falls, the crisis will go on and on.”

No it won’t Peggy. Not really. If Gadhafi survives, Libya will be under the heel of an Islamic tyrant. If he does not survive, it will be under the heel of another Islamic tyrant. Heck, this is an even easier prognostication than when Dhimmi Kahtah handed the reins to Islamic Mullahs in Iran through a fumble-handed undercutting of the Shah. And the “crisis” will end, as far as The Zero and his partners in crime are concerned, as soon as it (and other “crises” manufactured and managed for his purposes) has brought down the U.S.

The Zero is not some mad buffoon wildly lurching from crisis to crisis; his is a well-known and well-advertised strategy, plainly obvious to his partners in crime and anyone else with more active brain cells than a head of cabbage.


Noonan does (accidentally?) make a couple of commonsense points: that there is nothing obviously in the interest of the U.S.’s national security at stake in Libya, and that what strategy there exists in the Libyan adventure is murky at best, although she minces words on both points, as a Good Beltway Insider must in order to remain an insider…

If You Prefer Your Coffee With Cream…

…you must be a racist, if one were to judge by the standards of The Zero’s allies and other assorted leftards. Why, oh why, can you not appreciate BLACK coffee?


[This micro-mini-rant brought about by a dumbass commenter in another forum who accused me of being racist–and of being excessively “white” and a “hater” whatever that means–for my lack of appreciation for the finer points of The Zero’s policies. I predicted this sort of thing when The Zero first announced his presidential candidacy, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy having been prophetic.]

Understanding “Presidents Day”

(Thanks to a commenter, Becky Sorensen, on FB for the kickoff to this post.)


A lady was eating lunch with her daughter and 10 year old grandson
last week when his mom asked him “What is tomorrow?”

He said “It’s President’s Day”

She asked “Do you know what that means?”.

He said “President’s Day is when Obama steps out of the White House
and if he sees his shadow we have 2 more years of unemployment and
stupidity.”

From the mouths of babes… But I’d almost prefer Presidents Day be viewed as a whack-a-mole game than as Groundhog Day, though… (I mean, after all, it honors the First Great American Tyrant as part of its purpose, as well as honoring the Father of Our Country. *heh* Playing whack-a-mole with the current occupant of the White House seems appropriate.)

😉

More?

The Makers vs. The Takers

Take away?

“The recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report citing systemic high
unemployment for the past two years shows that of the approximately
300 million Americans, only 47% of adults have full-time jobs. It’s a
mind-boggling statistic: 53%– or a majority — of American adults do
not work. The repercussions for our country are dire, despite the
White House proclaiming the recent Labor report as good news.”

Now, there are several classes among that 53%, and not all of them are
“takers” as the writer of the article posits (for but one example,
stay-at-home moms with a supportive and supportING husbands
), but enough of them are that the divide is stark.

For The Zero

…and his ilk. From Sir Walter Scott’s “The Lay of the Last Minstrel”

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d,
As home his footsteps he hath turn’d,
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no Minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonor’d, and unsung.

Amen.

Hoist With Their Own Petard

Nanny-nanny-boo-boo@The Zero, “Nazi Pelozi” and “Hairy Reed”.

😛

*heh*

I noted this on FB yesterday, but it’s worth a “real” post.

Health Judge Uses Obama’s Words Against Him

“I note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that, ‘If a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house,’” Judge Vinson wrote in a footnote toward the end of his 78-page ruling Monday.

Not only that, but the dumbasses Reid and Pelosi failed to put a severability clause in their multi-thousand-page monstrosity, so,

“Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void.”

Hoist with their own petard, indeed.

Play and repeat twice:

“Birthers”?

Word from the White House–I suppose–via Robert Gibbs, The Zero’s mouthpiece,

“I think rational people have — have long ago, many when they first heard and saw the president, come to the conclusion of his citizenship.”

What’s not rational about asking The Zero to simply release his records like other politicians have? It’d cost him maybe $25 to, oh, perhaps $50 tops, to obtain a certified copy of his official birth certificate and then release it for public view. Less to release records of his college years, more than likely, by just sending his colleges permission to release records.

Instead, he and his minions have spent millions of dollars fighting to prevent release of his records. What in the world is rational about that?

Unless, of course, he has something devastating to hide.

UPDATE: on the fundamental irrationality of Gibbs’ argument, Nicole has this to say in comments:

What in hearing and seeing Obama would offer any proof that he was born in the US?

What proof indeed. The question is rhetorical, of course. Simply seeing and hearing a person is no proof of nationality or native birth. I have friends who sound like they might have been foreign-born and others who certainly look different to the great majority of Americans, but I wouldn’t adjudge them as foreigners based on appearance. OTOH, I know some Canadians who sound for all the world like North Dakotans an d look as “American” (whatever that means) as you or I.

Gibbs’ argument is not only irrational; it is stupid. And it seems no one at the presser called him on it. Is it any wonder I view the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind as completely unworthy of my attention save as a class to mock?


Oh, and that derogatory “birthers” term so bruited about by the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind? Simply a way of diverting attention from the real question: if there’s nothing to hide, why not release records at least as comprehensive as were demanded by that same Hivemind–and then lied about–of Bush II or even that his opponent in the 2008 election freely released? Why?

Rational people deserve a clear answer, not irrational derogation.


The Hivemind just cannot keep its narrative straight. Last week, Mike Evans said this:

Now, he says,

“Only this I can you tell you is 100 percent fact: that Neil never told me there was no birth certificate… I never talked to him.”

Is it any wonder that reasonable people have questions? Only the insane (or those who are highly invested in The Zero’s agenda) wouldn’t.

Silver Lining?

It’s too early (or is it?) to look for a “silver lining” to the cloud of 01-07-11’s Arizona shootings, but talk–even some limited talk by politicians, of all things!–spurred by vitriolic lies from the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind about causes of the shooting may well yield a silver lining to that dark cloud. One observation was highlighted by a reader, Don Rubottom, of a James Taranto piece,

“…all successful politicians have at least a capacity to imitate civility and compassion in a way that makes voters willing to believe them to be human.”

We would do well to take note of this observation and attempt to clearly discern the correlation between (and relationship or even causality, if any *heh*) the speech of politicians and their behavior. Sure, the other day, at the T-Shirt and Beer Bust Arizona “memorial” hosted by The Zero, da big Kenyan (Well? Wo? We don’t know and he ain’t showin’ his papers) spoke words of moderation and conciliation, mildly (Oh, so mildly) rebuking the recent Hivemind excretion of lying memes.

Well-coached, he departed only once, it seems, from the advance copy TOTUS was supposed to feed him (although I’ve not seen any report of whether that “ad lib” really was an ad lib or if it had been inserted into TOTUS’ feed into the “presidential sock puppet’s” mouth), and that was to emphasize the fact that the Hivemind’s rush to blame the shootings on Limbaugh, Palin and TEA Party rhetoric was uncalled for.

Apparently a lone adult is still on The Zero’s staff and was able to have substantial influence on the script TOTUS fed him.

So, were his parroted words sincere? Or were they just a reasonable facsimile of civility and compassion? From a contemporary leftard politician, I’m willing to accept a reasonable facsimile for now. It’s so refreshingly different, you know?


“TOTUS” for those who’ve been living on a strict Mennonite farm for the past few years, is “Telepromper of the United States”–The Zero’s external brain.
