Just a quick note

Apologies for slow posting.  Real life interfering with the important business of spouting opinions.

I did go to the St. Louis Tea Party rally Saturday.  Took a bunch of pictures with the new iPhone (Whoo-hoo!).  But am still trying to get time to work out all the connectivities to get them downloaded to the computer.

There is going to be a National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN.  Could this be the start of a serious third party establishment?  Sarah Palin is keynoting it.  I have always thought that if any major political figure could get to the front of the Tea Party movement, it would be her.

The thing to understand about a third party like that is that they would almost surely caucus with the Republicans, just like the communists, marxists and other “worker’s parties” would caucus with the Democrats.  I don’t believe that Palin would run as a Tea Partier unless the Repubs, in their infinite wisdom, select another RINO “I can be a Democrat, too” candidate.

To bow, or not to bow

I look on the Obambi’s bowing not in terms of “Americans don’t bow!”, but “The idiot did it wrong!  What a cad!”

I don’t really have an aversion to bowing.  For years I practiced bowing while I studied Shotokan karate.  Try settling down on the left knee, then the right knee so that you are kneeling and sitting on your heels, toes facing back.  Begin bending forward sliding first your left hand forward and then your right.  The hands come together and the thumbs and forefingers make a triangle on the floor that you then place your forehead in.  Then you stay there until sensei acknowledges you.  Try that at about 350 lbs.  I have always been surprisingly flexible for my considerable bulk, but the knees did not take kindly to the hard floor.  Of all the things I did in karate, the formal bowing was the most painful.

The Court Jester in Chief Clown in Chief (Biden is the court jester) did an apology bow without explaining what he was apologizing for.  And then did it while shaking hands.  Don’t they teach any class at all in those ivy league schools?

Contrast that to Ambassador Mike Mansfield’s tear filled apology bow to the foreign minister while delivering a letter of apology for the sinking of a japanese freighter after it was rammed by the submarine USS George Washington.

Obama is like a country hick trying to pretend he has manners as he stumbles around the world looking for all the world like…like…like..an Obama.

Mansfield = class.  Obama = classless.

Sometimes, doing nothing is better than doing it wrong.

NO MORE ANGST!

Whew.  It was hard living that that level of ambivalence. I was bothered about benefiting from a computer hack since I don’t really like computer hackers.  However, I am over my angst with it.  It was pointed out in another blog (don’t remember which), or asked rhetorically, whichever, how was the hack and release of the Climate Research Unit’s e-mails any different than the act of a whistleblower?  Everybody loves a whistleblower if it’s against a private company.  Why they’re capitalists who <gag> make money!  CRU just wanted the power to rule the world.

What the Global Warmists were perpetuating was fraud on a global scale.  It was an organization of pseudoscientists who’s ultimate goal was the destruction of most of human civilization.  No James Bond villain sought to do more damage to humanity (except maybe that guy in Moonraker who was going to kill everybody except his select little colony of perfect people.  Wait a minute…he wasn’t a villain.  He was just a liberal environmentalist!) than any fraud perpetrated by any company ever, anywhere.  Conceivably (and no, Virginia, this is not an exaggeration) their fraud would have cost more than all frauds ever perpetrated in human history (except perhaps socialism).  The direct cost of some of the plans for complying with their vision was going to be $Trillions.  How can anyone measure the lost lives and fortunes of generations that would be denied any hope of affluence?  Their movement was attempting (successfully, I might add) to acquire power over the entire World’s economy.  Under their rule, countries that would not voluntarily subjugate themselves to the Global Warmist’s dogmas would be economically isolated and forced to obey.  In their grandest dreams, they were going to destroy centuries of human progress.  The release of the CRU’s e-mail was more valuable in terms of protecting the…heck, the entire human race than any corporate whistleblower who found a company not dotting their i’s or crossing their t’s.

Gateway Pundit says Sen. Jim Inhofe (a longtime Anthropogenic Global Warming skeptic) is going to have hearings about the e-mails.  Keep it viral Jim.  When the Democrats are driven out in ‘10, the prosecutions for crimes against humanity can begin.

HAH!

Sarah Palin’s Uterus.

Funny not because it makes fun of Sarah (it doesn’t).  It exists for the sole express purpose of driving Andrew Sullivan (Birther-In-Chief) insane.  Which, according to most reviewer nowadays, may simply be a matter of diagnosis rather than inducing.

So what if KSM goes free?

It will be a huge PR hit for the Worst President Ever*.

KSM will return to the Middle East as a Jihadist Hero.

A real hero will put him in the crosshairs and give him the military justice he dodged at GITMO.

* Normally a big PR hit for the US president is a bad thing, even for Clinton or a Carter.  But in the case of Obama, the more he falls on his face, the less damage he can do to the country because he needs the support of the party.

Comment so long it should have been a post

They’re missing the point – redux.

Ya’ll miss me, yet?

They’re missing the point

All the hew and cry about the upcoming Barnum & Bailey three ring circus to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a civilian court in New York revolves around the argument that it is a mistake.  That it will damage US intelligence and national security.  What they are not taking into consideration is that the loss of US intelligence capability…the damaging of national security, the discrediting of the US legal system, and pretty much any other deleterious effect on the US… is the goal, and KSM is just the convenient tool.

Obama is an America hating leftist…a Marxist.  He wouldn’t have sat on Jeremiah Wright’s knee for twenty years if he wasn’t.  He hasn’t just moved to the left of the European governments that have been pedaling right as fast as they can in the last few elections.  He’s to the left of the Communist government he is kowtowing to in China right now.

If he just opened up the vaults at the CIA headquarters in Langley, or the Pentagon, it would be politically damaging.  Instead, he’s going to disarm the United States by spilling as much as he can during the trial.  And when it’s all a shambles and KSM is back in Afghanistan killing US soldiers, Oba-Mao will proceed to blame anybody and everybody but himself for the results.  Claiming plausible deniability because the law is the law.  Hey, watcha’ gonna’ do?

Bowing and scraping before the King he wants to be

Obama assumes the posture he should be taking to the American people as he begs their forgiveness for even pretending that he thought he could be a viable President of the United States.

There’s principled…

…and then there’s stupid and gullible.

And the Republican House caucus is…?

They voted for the Stupid Stupak Amendment to the Trojan the Healthcare Industry Takeover Bill, banning it from funding abortion and thereby paving the way for the Democrats to pass the whole bill.  Because, according to the Republican anti-abortion caucus, “We don’t play politics with life.”

No stupid, BUT THE DEMOCRATS DO!  And principles aren’t supported by playing the fool.  The best way to keep Obamacare from funding abortion is to KILL THE HEALTHCARE TAKEOVER BILL!  GAWD!  I’m flaming in caps like Gateway Pundit!

Killing the bill is the only way to stop all of the bad provisions in the bill because the problem isn’t  the provisions.  It’s the entire bill itself.  Because a one sentence amendment to eliminate a clause can be undone by another one sentence clause buried in a another Democratic 1,000 page spending atrocity passed in the middle of the night because that’s the only way they can their trash passed.  Or as promised by the Democrats themselves, the amendment won’t even make it to Obama’s desk because it will be killed in conference committee.

Principles are served by WINNING!  If you have a priceless Ming Vase and somebody is trying to take it from you, you don’t defend it by HOLDING IT OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, MORONS!

Gee, and the Republicans can’t understand why people don’t identify with them anymore.
