Mannheim Steamroller - 'Joy To The World'

Merry Christmas Eve!

The Video SNL Refused to Run

Sad - SNL was more than happy to do hit pieces on Palin, but this one was left on the cutting room floor.

Silent Night - Mannheim Steam Roller

Love the Steamroller...Christmas brings out such creativity with high voltage!

DSA

One of the great cover-ups is the membership by folks in Congress to an organization called the "Democratic Socialists of America." The DSA is the largest socialist organization in the United States. "How many belong?" I hear you ask...well it's very hard to pin down an exact number, but by this count here, there are 56 members:

(State-District)

Rep Earl Hilliard (AL-07)

Rep Eni Faleomavaega (AS-AL)

Rep Ed Pastor (AZ-02)

Rep Lynn C Woolsey (CA-06)

Rep George Miller (CA-07)

Rep Nancy Pelosi (CA-08)

Rep Fortney "Pete" Stark (CA-13)

Rep Henry A. Waxman (CA-29)

Rep Xavier Becerra (CA-30)

Rep Julian C. Dixon (CA-32)

Rep Esteban Edward Torres (CA-34)

Rep Maxine Waters (CA-35)

Rep George E. Brown (CA-42)

Rep Bob Filner (CA-50)

Rep Diane DeGette (CO-01)

Rep Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC-AL)

Rep Corrine Brown (FL-03)

Rep Carrie P. Meek (FL-17)

Rep Alcee L. Hastings (FL-23)

Rep John Lewis (GA-05)

Rep Neil Abercrombie (HI-01)

Rep Bennie G. Thompson (MS-02)

Rep Melvin L. Watt (NC-12)

Rep Donald Payne (NJ-10)

Rep Jerrold Nadler (NY-08)

Rep Major Owens (NY-11)

Rep Nydia M. Velazquez (NY-12)

Rep Charles Rangel (NY-15)

Rep Maurice Hinchey (NY-26)

Rep John LaFalce (NY-29)

Rep Marcy Kaptur (OH-09)

Rep Dennis Kucinich (OH-10)

Rep Louis Stokes (OH-11)

Rep Sherrod Brown (OH-13)

Rep Chaka Fattah (PA-02)

Rep William Coyne (PA-14)

Rep Carlos A. Romero-Barcelo (PR-AL)

Rep Robert C. Scott (VA-03)

Rep Bernard Sanders (VT-AL)

Rep James A McDermott (WA-07)

Now the DSA no longer publishes the list - I guess they figured out it could be problematic for their comrades, err, members. But outside of Bernie Sanders, who has moved on to the Senate, and their blatant socialist behavior, who would have known that the "Who's Who" of committee memberships, let alone the Speakeress of the House, would be on the list! So what do DSA members espouse? Well, they have their seven pillars:

Dignified Work
Environmental Justice
Economic Redistribution
Democratic Participation
Community Empowerment
Global Non-Violence
Social Justice.

And who, you might ask is the DSA affiliated with? Why that would be the Socialist International. And what, I hear you ask in an increasingly exasperated tone, do THEY believe? Well, they are right out there in the open...read all about it on their website. Well, if you don't want to spend the time, you can read the abridged version - it's called the "Obama website."

The drift continues, the current carrying us to the edge of the abyss.

Do not share this with the kids...

God bless her! If you are an American male, and the site of a good looking woman holding a fine piece of hardware like that doesn't excite you...there's something wrong with you!

Celtic Woman-Carol Of The Bells

Oh yeah! Merry Christmas!

This is wrong in so many ways...nude Blago painting

I'm guessing that the "artist" in this article is one of those guys that turns out to be a serial killer...they ask the neighbors and get the "geez, he was so quiet, raised orchids" response. Great, at least this displaces the nude Sarah Palin painting he did. I am sure both of these should hang in the MOMA.

We lost a good one

Paul Weyrich passed away this morning and he will be missed. The founder of the Heritage Foundation, he was a guiding light in the conservative movement for the last twenty years. Paul was only 66, but suffered from complications due to a spinal cord injury 12 years ago. He is in a better place now.

How Much for your Women??

I know we are supposed to be accepting of all cultures in the name of "diversity," but really folks..."Man offers Daughter to Shoe-Tosser?" How about I trade you two good cattle for lovely daughter? It does remind me of the great restaurant scene in the Blues Brothers movie - "How much for your women? How much for the little girl??"

Blast from the Recent Past

Probably a poor choice of words in the headline, but just before the election on SNL there was this gem:



Now comes the real news: "US official: Russians intend to test Obama on arms" reads the headline. Read all about it here.

Carol Of The Bells

More from the Religion of Peace

Here's someone who is definitely NOT in the Christmas spirit. Anjem Choudary is his name, preachin' hate is his game:

In the sermon posted on an Islamic website, he said: "In the world today many Muslims, especially those residing in western countries, are exposed to the evil celebration Christmas. Many take part in the festival celebrations by having Christmas turkey dinners.Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah. Many still practise this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the birth of Jesus. How can a Muslim possibly approve or participate in such a practice that bases itself on the notion Allah has an offspring? The very concept of Christmas contradicts and conflicts with the foundation of Islam. Every Muslim has a responsibility to protect his family from the misguidance of Christmas, because its observance will lead to hellfire. Protect your Paradise from being taken away – protect yourself and your family from Christmas."

Now here's what I don't get - the Koran recognizes Jesus as a "great prophet." Mary is revered in an almost awkward way...she even gets her own chapter, the Sura Maryam. It recognizes the Immaculate Conception and the special nature of Jesus - an infant that could speak.

No, this is about hate and isolation. The more these mullahs can keep their flock away from Christians and Jews in Western countries, the easier it is to convince them that those same Christians and Jews hate them. It is the pathway to jihad. Note to Anjem - if you hate our customs so much, go back to Saudi Arabia or Egypt or whatever dustbin you came from and leave us alone. Thank God this buffoon lives in England and not over here...Brits, wake up!

Trouble in Windy City

This guy had better be watching his 6 for reporting like this in the Windy City! There is a growing fear, I suspect, among this crowd that Blago could start saying some reaaaalllly crazy things. He's not going gently because a) he doesn't have to - he has leverage AND b) until he has a good deal, he will maintain that leverage. This is the same swamp that ALL of Obama's inner circle crawled out of...Barry O, pure as snow, the most brilliant man on the face of the planet who through hopeandchange will make the Polar Ice cap grow, had no ideeeeea this was going on. Just like he had no ideeeea that Rev Wright was a race-baiting America hating bigot. The logical end game for this is a) Barry O is stupid or b) Barry O knows a little something...it won't go away.

At the root of this is the struggle for the heart and soul of the Democrat party which we scribed about back before the election. It is the battle between the Daley Machine united with the Kennedy Clan versus the Clinton "New" Path of Thuggery. The Obama appointments are nothing more than the Chicago way of trying to buy the silence out of potential enemies.

Detroit...even the football team stinks.

Kudos to Bob Corker from our fair state for standing up to the UAW thugs. Pity he wasn't tipped off that the deal was in the works over at the White House. Chrysler has already been bailed out three times - once by us - remember Iacocca and the K-car? Once by the Germans...they got rid of it for less than what they paid just to be done with the headache. And most recently by private capital - umm, that was right before the bottom fell out. Who's next? The US taxpayer...again. This is a failed business model and we need to let it die. Bankruptcy does not mean that everything gets shuttered and vines grow through the assembly line...it probably DOES mean that union contracts will get re-worked. Let's get about it...the sooner the better!

Just in time for Christmas!

The Chicago Way

Rahm, Rahm, Rahm. Note to Barry O - when you throw a bunch of snakes in a bag, they start to bite each other. How are you going to parse this one? Good luck.

Bettie Page - RIP

Bettie Page died at the age of 85 yesterday. She was a Nashville girl. She attended Hume Fogg High School in downtown Nashville (now a nationally acclaimed magnet school) and the George Peabody College for Teachers (now the Peabody College of Vanderbilt University). She missed being the valedictorian by .25%.

Though she is being hailed as a revolutionary who helped usher in the "Free Love" nonsense of the 1960's, in reality, she was a tragic figure. She was married and divorced, pursued an acting career on the West Coast and then a modeling career on the East Coast. It was there that a photographer told her to comb her bangs forward to compensate for her high forehead and the "Bettie Page look" was born. When asked about her iconic status as a high priestess of sexual liberation, she responded:

"I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer. I wasn’t trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time. I didn’t think of myself as liberated, and I don’t believe that I did anything important. I was just myself. I didn’t know any other way to be, or any other way to live."

She was a free spirit and a survivor. Later in life she became a born-again Christian. She said of herself that she was "penniless and infamous." For all the naughtiness, I suspect she was a good person and would be horrified at what is shown on the front covers of magazines and in prime-time TV now.

Despite the Playboy spreads and the Catwoman bondage shots, I like to remember her with this picture:


I am pretty sure that's the Gulf Coast of Florida in the background. The coast of my boyhood before they built the hell out of it. And that's a sandbar she's standing on...probably had been looking for sand dollars. She is full of life, happy to be here. That is how we should remember her.

Rezko, Blago, Obo...

Years ago I met a Federal prosecutor who worked on white collar crimes. We got into the subject of how they get these bad guys to talk. He explained that it was really pretty simple...put them in the lock up with a roommate or two for a couple of hours. Usually they were far more conversant after that. So Rezko is talking...that can't be good for Barry O. My guess is that Blago is going to squeal just so he can make his regular hair appointment. The dots are already connected to Rahm Emanuel and Jesse Jackson, Jr. Where else will this go? The box the press finds themselves in is that they now have to report on all the stuff that the VRWC (Vast Right Wing Conspiracy) was pointing out for months. Guess it's time to sit back and say "we told you so..."

The most terrible danger of a personality cult

This is a very interesting analysis - worth watching through to the end.

Obama - Building a Religion

Rumbler has been saying this phenom was about brand management and creating a fad or a cult...here it is to music.

Obama on Your Shoulder

Ahh, Liberals - they know better than you what you need!

Obama had Questionable Associations?

Hold the presses folks, the AP has a breaking story! Obama had "questionable associations" - we had no idea! This is a nice summary of some of the folks that we've been talking about for months...welcome aboard AP - it's called "news."

Wha..Illinois, Corruption in Politics?

Whoa, stop the presses! Corruption has been found in Illinois politics. I had no idea! I guess this guy won't be able to wear white at his wedding. Here's the big question - why has this entire machine not been investigated before now? Can you say "Daley?" Very good - knew you could.

Carjackers

So these two are going to run the car companies? This is criminal car-jacking on a scale not seen before. Since when does Nancy Pelosi understand the needs of the American consumer in their car selection process? When did Barney Fag..err Frank, become an expert in production capacity and distribution? This shibboleth that the American taxpayer is getting a great deal because "we're getting stock" in exchange for bail out loans is going to ruin this country! Great, so we are getting stock in companies that have failed business models...looked at the stock market lately? Guess what happens when you buy a loser...it goes down! It's the same concept as trying to grow food in a desert. Here's Sam Kinison's (RIP) take:



Not since Harry Truman nationalized the steel mills in 1952 (mercifully overturned by the Supreme Court) have we seen this kind of brazen takeover by government. It would be bad enough to have happen under Obama - but where the hell is Bush? Where, other than Bob Corker in the Senate, is the opposition. For God's sake man, grow a pair!

BATMAN

This little puppy is going to be available on DVD later this week...I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it already. It is an allegory of the war on terror with George Bush as Batman and the jihadis as the Joker. Even down to the scene of Batman standing on the wreckage of a bombed building it's phenomenal. It has the angst over whether to torture or not...it's got rendition...it even has the public turning against the hero and wanting to negotiate and appease the bad guy. Probably accidental on Hollywood's part, but make sure you see it and let me know.

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain." -Harvey Dent

Grousing from the Left

There was an editorial in this morning's Tennessea - err, Pravda on the Cumberland, saying that the libs are getting concerned that Barry O is not appointing enough wingnuts to his cabinet. Here's a piece in Politico saying about the same thing. There seems to be particular ire about appointing Hillary to State - she voted FOR the war, and keeping Gates at Defense. One of the fun quotes was from Katrina Vanden Heuvel over at The Nation: "The appointment of Gates confirms in peoples' minds that Democrats can't run Defense. He could of at least appointed someone like Chuck Hagel, who opposed the war." Note to Katrina - Hagel is a Republican - admittedly in name only, but still has the (R) after his name!

My guess/hope is this: Barry, not unlike the last Dem to occupy the White House, (occupation of the White House - could be a theme there...) has no core principles. This is good news for those of us on the Right who thought that on the basis of his associations, the guy was damned near a Marxist. You sit in a couple of those threat briefings and it'll make those campaign promises go right out the door. B.O. probably feels like the terrier that caught the bus right now...he needs adult leadership around him.

You are kidding me, aren't you??

This fine pen sketch is of one John Thain. John is the Chairman of Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch lost $11.7 BILLION this year. Merrill Lynch is about to disappear into the Bank of America...probably to a place like this:



John thinks he deserves a bonus. John thinks he deserves a bonus of $10 MILLION. John is an assclown. Read more here.

Here's the 1st Grade reader's edition:

See John run.
John runs Merrill Lynch.
Merrill Lynch runs into the ground.
John tells his Mommy he did a good job.

Where is the shame?

Infamy

No December 7th passes that members and veterans of the United States Navy do not pause and reflect on what happened that Sunday morning in Pearl Harbor in 1941. We think about our shipmates that went down that day...the boys at Hickam Field. The oil spilling into the harbor as those great warships bled to death. Our country has several seminal events of outrage - Pearl Harbor and September 11 probably the two greatest. As a Texan by birth, the Alamo is top of mind too. We have always rallied and done great things as a people. Usually those involved freeing others of the oppression that drove them to make us a target. Japan and Germany were transformed from maniacally tyrannical states into engines of world progress. The jury is still way out on Iraq...further out on Afghanistan, but at a minimum a new way is in front of them.

For a great perspective on this horrific day, check out Eyewitness to History.

Army Navy 2008 Trashed Annapolis

Ahh, Army - resorting to childish pranks again. The difference is that Navy would have delivered the goods on target! Well, 34-0, seven in a row. Go Navy!

China's Quest for the Moon

China Launches First Willing Manned Mission Into Space

Truly inspirational!

Plaxico Burress On Gun Safety

LMAO! This should also serve as a sound endorsement for the Smith & Wesson 9MM - totally lacks the herky-jerky trigger of the Glock.

Parity

Considering these numbers HAVE the latest election results in them, I would say this represents parity:

This is stunning.

Total Democratic Presidential Votes Since 1932: 745,407,082

Total Republican Presidential Votes Since 1932: 745,297,123

Total Third-Party Presidential Votes Since 1932: 66,061,486

How's that for parity? That's a difference of 109,959 votes out of over 1.5 billion cast.

Hat tip to Crossing Wall Street.

Odd Looks

The headline over at the Wall Street Journal reads "Automakers would accept oversight board..."

Here's the photo:
I mean look at these guys! This is embarrassing!! The guy on the left, probably some dillwad attorney trying to look tough...next in is Colonel Potter with a comb over - oh, that's Mr. Union Man, Gettelfinger...then comes Mulally from Ford who looks like someone just pulled a new puppy out to show him...then comes Nardelli from Chrysler who has the "Why am I here when I could have these clowns whacked" look...

I officially hate the bailout. To watch these guys with straight faces tell Congress that they will do anything that Congress wants them to do is like watching some junkies beg for methadone. It's downright unseemly. Mulally was right, one of either GM or Chrysler is going to fail and fail catastrophically. That's what happens in capitalism. Then Ford or the other survivor, or a foreign manufacturer buys the production capacity, the fat gets trimmed and off we go again. The alternative is the Democratic nationalization of auto production...this is what you will end up with:
That little beauty was built by the Soviets from 1940 something to 1980 something...it's the Zaz! Maybe Congressman Waxman will demand that the fuel efficient models have a sporty touch, so they can add a spoiler! Yessir, yessir...here you are sir:

How about a convertible with extra safety bumpers and ADA step up ladder? You got it:

We have truly fallen down the rabbit hole. The free market is dying before our eyes and the same clowns that negotiated those great deals with the Unions and awarded themselves huge bonuses are now going to get to give monthly term papers to Congress. We're doomed.

More Explanations

There are thousands of reasons that my generation (the Baby Boomers) have turned out the way we have. But here are a couple of reasons:

This is a little creepy - why is the weird monkey dude putting the mechanical mouse in his pocket? "Stop it Corky! err, Kenny!" But you know if this kept us up on Christmas Eve, there was always the soothing sounds of the Gantvoort Twins! What's that? You don't remember the Gantvoort Twins?? Here's a refresher:
That's a smackin' good lookin' pair there! What is that device that is between them, a disco sawz-all?

If you were still a little disturbed that Kenny and Creepy were going to come crawling out of the closet while you waited on Rudolf and the boys, you could always put the Mom and Dads on for a spin:

I don't detect a single natural fiber on that crew! Gotta have a pair of patten leather white bucs to go with the powder blue leisure suit!

But if this is what messed us up, what does the following bode for Generation X:




Who is William Hung you say...here's a refresher:



Lord, help us!

Hitch on Mumbai

Christopher Hitchens is a liberal with a brain that I respect a lot. This is his piece on solidarity with India and it is very well crafted:

An impressive thing about India is the way in which it has almost as many Muslim citizens, who live with greater prospects of peace and prosperity, as does Pakistan. This comity and integration is one of the many targets of the suicide killers, and it is another reason why firm, warm solidarity with India is the most pressing need of the present hour.

Give it a read, you won't regret it.

FRED!

We're a little partial to Fred Thompson in these parts, but this is beautiful!

Nihilism

This is a terrific editorial from Investor's Business Daily, titled "The Spread of Nihilism's Bloody Stain." There is a confusion in the West over the so-called "clash of cultures." This is not a cultural war as much as a temporal one. One side, Islamic Fascism, wants to return the world to a 12th Century model. The other side, the West, thinks that we will offend them if we are not more inclusive and stresses the importance of diversity. Balderdash! This is war people, wake up. If you need more evidence - as if the events of the last ten years are not enough, click here and watch this short movie. If that is not enough, click here, and watch some more.

Cartoon Characters for Cigarettes

Not really on point, but don't you miss those days when you could get cartoon characters to hawk smokes?

Moveon on the Upper West Side

...these are the idiots that won the election? No wonder Barry O is staying away from them in his cabinet selections.

Is it just me?

Is it just me, or is this headline strange: "Obama Promotes Fiscal Restraint, Big Spending." I guess we are all supply-side Keynesians now?

Christmas In The Trenches

I've always loved this song...as we begin Advent, let us not forget.

Hidden Jihad: The War in America - CBN.com

In light of the recent attacks in Mumbai, time for another listen.

Religion of Peace

URGENT: A group of fanatical Christians stormed ashore in Bahrain today killing over 100 people. They specifically sought out Muslims from Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Screaming "Christ is the only Way!" they set off bombs and blew themselves apart in bomb-laden taxis...

No that doesn't work...let's try again.

URGENT: A party of faith-enraged Buddhists swept through the downtown area of Islamabad today shooting randomly at late-afternoon commuters. They then set off explosives and captured numerous hostages at the posh Intercontinental Hotel. They singled out Muslims and Hindus screaming "Buddha is the man..."

No that doesn't work...let's try again.

You get the point. The entire world of faith had better wake up to the fact that Muslim extremists offer two choices: convert or die. And on option two, they are perfectly happy to accommodate. It is a sad day in India today. Rumbler has spent time in this beautiful country when Rumbler's parents lived in New Delhi. They are a wonderful people and we weep with them today as they bury their (and our) dead.

This is what the "religion of peace" did to the Mumbai train station:


This is what they did to the Taj Mahal Hotel where Rumbler's parents used to stay:

There can be no peace until Muslims worldwide condemn these acts of hatred and begin the long, hard work to change their religion from within. We of other faiths can help this process along if we would drop the pretext that they are really a peaceful religion and it's just a few bad apples...blah, blah, blah. Let's call it for what it is, a bloodthirsty cult that is destroying the very fabric of civilization in the hope of achieving a worldwide caliphate. The Koran is specific in what Muslims must do...let's stop kidding ourselves. Until Muslims renounce the violent teachings of their own book, we cannot live alongside them. They need to be isolated and eliminated if they will not change. When will the world say "enough?"

LOL!

Tolerance, Liberal Style

It is astounding to me how the side that claims the moral high ground of "tolerance" and "understanding" and "equality" demands mind-frozen obedience to their teachings. Failure to do so exposes you to tactics like this: a blacklist of people who contributed to a political cause they felt strongly about. Or of course, there's the more traditional approach, like this:

No Yoga for Muslims

So the plan is to be as physically inflexible as they are mentally inflexible. Ommm.

P.C. Run Amok

Can we end this stupidity? If it's a "Christmas Boat Parade," it's a "Christmas Boat Parade!" If it's a "Hanukkah Boat Parade" or a "Ramadan Boat Parade," I am cool with that too. If it's the "LGBT Boat Parade," that's fine too - I am forewarned that I will probably not bring my kids. Likewise, if you are so damned offended by "Christmas Boat Parade," DON'T GO!

Science marches on!

From an e-mail I got this morning:

Woodward on Obama on Clinton

Huh...couldn't have said it better myself. The venerable DC Digger himself, Bob Woodward, on the choice of HilBill for Secretary of the Unites States...err, Secretary of State:

Being president is about control, and tell me who ever controlled Bill or Hillary Clinton. They can't control each other. ... I think it's because Warren Buffett and Paul Volcker and others have convinced Obama, 'You're going to have to focus like a laser on the economy. That's issue Number One. And give Hillary and Bill the world.' ... I think people are fantasizing or smoking something if they think Joe Biden's going to call Hillary Clinton up and say, 'This is what we want you to do.'

Merry Christmas...not.

Dan Henninger has an excellent article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal connecting the dots between multi-culturalism and the loss of values. Well worth the read.

Nationalizing Pensions

Hugo Chavez's good buddy Cristina Kirchner, la Presidenta de la Republica del Argentina, had pulled it off! Best thing to do in a financial crisis with everyone's pension funds going down? Have the government take the funds and run them...certainly they can do better than individuals.

Onlooker: They wouldn't do that!
Rumbler: Oh yes they will!

They have. Read about it here.

Well, the good news is it couldn't happen here...

Onlooker: Umm, it couldn't happen here...could it?
Rumbler: Oh yes it can!

They will try. Read about it here.

Sadly, the land for peace formula proposed by the Saudis appears to be the policy that Barry O wants to undertake - that'll bring about some change!

Auto Cos to the Troph

Some hearings were held on Capitol Hill today...a bunch of the Detroit auto execs showed up to beg for money from the taxpayers...errr, the Congress. Here's a picture of the event:

The Shrinking Possibility of Hope

The caption under this picture in the Wall Street Journal this morning was priceless: "Obama gets taken for a ride by the UAW." Holman Jenkin's column "Obama Hears a Giant Sucking Sound," is a refreshing perspective. As terrified as those of us on the right are about a tsunami of liberalism headed our way, the reality is that his hands are probably tied. "Mr. Obama must be looking around and beginning to suspect he will be pouring his political capital, along with considerable taxpayer capital, down bottomless holes for the next four years. He won't be building a legacy as the new FDR, but cleaning up after the last one." I love how Holman finishes the piece:

That Mr. Obama had been sent by history to assuage the insecurities of the middle class with a "New" New Deal was always a tad detached from reality anyway. The reason is those giant legacies of existing New Dealism known as Social Security and Medicare, about which he was careful to say nothing intelligible during the campaign. These programs worked for a while too, but now their expected revenues are (in present value) about $99.2 trillion short of the expected outlays required to assure present and future workers their promised comfort in retirement.

Then again, Mr. Obama did say something in his campaign about tax rebates for all these payroll taxpayers. He also said something about government matching contributions to incentivize today's low- and middle-income workers to save for their own retirement.

Voilà, personal accounts funded by payroll-tax givebacks -- strangely similar to the solution our current president promoted to help workers escape the impending insolvency of the government retirement programs. Mr. Obama envisioned himself extending FDR's work. He may end up finishing George Bush's.

Look folks - at some point we are going to have to face the $99.2 TRILLION shortfall in Social Security and Medicaid. We can't print our way out of it...I doubt we can grow our way out. The only hope is for an honest, sober assessment of the situation and a realistic plan to scale entitlements back. Otherwise we are doomed to the ash heap. Now would be a good time to do it too...the economy's in the tank, the news every day is bad...one good dose of cod-liver oil reality and let's get on with it!

But I thought they would love us...

I thought one of the arguments in favor of putting Barry O in the White House was that the Arabs and Africans would love us...appreciate our diversity and all that...guess the boys over at Al Qaeda didn't get the memo.

Well, that settles that...

We now conclusively know what we thought we knew all along.

OMG! Just OMG! We are hosed.

Here are the results of the Zogby poll:

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

Folks this is very serious. The fate of the Republic depends upon a well informed populace. We got sold a brand...the new Coke! We will pay for it good and hard.

Politics of Division

From Five Feet of Fury up in the chili North:

From our bulging "The Hispanic vote doesn't frickin' matter, you idiots" file

I can't believe the National Review let this get posted:

According to the usual suspects, the benchmark in garnering Hispanic votes for Republicans is Bush's 40 percent showing in 2004. So what would have happened if McCain had matched Bush's performance, instead of the 31 percent he actually got? Based on CNN's exit polls, McCain still would have lost Nevada, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, not to mention, say, California and New Jersey. Conversely, even if Obama had won 90 percent of the Hispanic vote in Texas, instead of 63 percent, he still would have lost the state. With the possible exception of North Carolina, where the results were close but the number of Hispanic voters is too small to register in the exit poll, there doesn't seem to be a single state where the Hispanic vote was critical to the outcome.

Karl Rove & Co., insist that Mexican immigrants are social conservatives and therefore a natural fit with the Republican party. But blacks are social conservatives too, contrary to what this guy says, and they vote Democrat.

What's more: Mexicans have no knowledge of American history, and bring with them a culture of systemic corruption, crime, illiteracy, animal abuse, drunk driving and more. Please get back to me with the names of 10 Mexican Nobel Prize winners. All on top of not speaking English.

Importing even more criminal illiterate future Democrats as a permanent slave underclass is the problem, not the solution.

And she's only 4'11" - but she is spot on. Enough with hyphenated Americans. We conservatives have to hone the message of economic liberty and social responsibility. Done correctly and packaged in the right medium, landslides await.

Very cute video over at the Creative Minority Report. I too am sick and tired of "Happy Non-specific nor offending holiday" - Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah!

The Russian Islamic Problem

Rumblepal Westhawk has a fine review on his blog of a book written by a Russian soldier titled One Soldier's War. The way his blog is set up, you may have to scroll down to get to it, it's titled "A Russian Soldier fights in Chechnya." He finishes it thusly: "There is much, much more in One Soldier’s War. Mr. Babchenko reminds us that there really is a Long War against Islamism, but that America is a very recent arrival to the party."

We really are a recent arrival...it's no party, but if we don't see it through to conclusion, the guests will be back on our shores and make 9/11 look like a day at Coney Island.

More on the Myths of the Depression

You have got to read this stuff folks - we are in deja vu mode all over again with the economy...and it will only get worse under Obama. At least understand your history so you can look intelligent as it is repeated around you.

When is a Hate Crime not a Hate Crime?

Well, for one, when a minority commits the crime it's not a hate crime. The sad case of Marine Sergeant Piertzak and his wife is a case in point. You don't hear about this in the news. Nor did you hear about the young couple in Knoxville that was raped and murdered by a black gang...not a hate crime, apparently. What you do get is headlines like this one in the Tennessean: "Obama Election Spurs Race Crimes Around the Country." Now I look at this video, where the woman holding a cross is beaten, and then her cross is stomped on by gay activists as a hate crime. But apparently, the same headline writer at the Tennessean (aka Pravda on the Cumberland) characterizes that behavior as "Gay advocates protest marriage ban across nation."

Look folks, it's all wrong, dreadfully wrong. But let's call it evenly on both sides. If a gang of whites beats up a black man or a Latino - that's a hate crime. Ditto if the Crips murder a young white Marine (who happened to be married to a black woman). If gays are storming churches and desecrating sacred services, that's a hate crime. Ditto if someon takes a tire wrench to a cross-dresser. The reality is this - we don't need "hate crime legislation." What we need is sanity on the bench that punishes wrong doing for what it is, not because the victims have a different tone to their skin or don't have the same sexual preferences. Violence to another human being is hatred, unless it is justified in self defense. Period.

Barry's Excellent Selective Service Adventure

What is it about this guy that the mysteries keep popping up? It's so simple to produce a birth certificate, a draft registration certificate, a college transcript...but it just keeps getting stonewalled. This is an excellent piece of investigative journalism that will never see the light of day...UNLIKE the faked docs about W's military service back in 2004.

P.S. Note the cute peace sign with the "O" in his "signature" this dude was warped early.

Open Letter to Barack

Oh, from the Iraqi Insurgency...the bunch that got whipped by the surge that B.O. opposed...well, let's have a read shall we?

“1.) The reason why you won the presidency is not because the Americans suddenly found out that they should not be racist, it is because of the many mistakes that the Bush administration fell under which didn’t leave for the American citizen any room, not even for a second to think about keeping that administration and the least proof for this is the large numbers of votes against them.”

OK, the Left would definitely agree with this statement...after all, Americans ARE evil racists and it will take many years in the camps,er, of training to erase that.

“2.) Your campaign promises were built on change and the time for it has come, and we say with that the time has come- the destruction that the previous administration caused for our country from killings, displacement, civil war and racism- has damaged your reputation as American people and it damaged elements of a nation that did not attack you by your own recognition and
therefore we ask for change and do not listen to those who tell you that a withdrawal from Iraq is a defeat. We say to you that a withdrawal will mean a triumph of reason and logic.”

OK, they agree with Barry about change, they agree with Barry that American troops caused "killings, civil war racism etc." They agree with Barry that we are basically very bad because we invaded poor old innocent Iraq and that a hasty withdrawal will restore us to the lofty heights the Arab world has always held us in. Oh wait, they never have...oh, never mind. And of course, they agree that "reason and logic" would prevail - hit Barry O where he likes to be flattered!

“3.) The vast number of people who have voted for you means that you can take your actions with courage. The disarray of those before you hurt the American people before anyone else, Allah(SWT) has told us in his righteous book that he created man to get to know each other not for one to kill the other: ‘O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous
of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).’”

Barry probably knows these verses from his time in Indonesia, but let's see...man is not supposed to kill one another, we're supposed to all get along (does this apply to the Jews?) and Barry...party on dude, you got a mandate! Certified by Islamic Jihad!

“4.) We are a country known for its courage and generosity and our good treatment to strangers. Whoever is good to us we are good to him more than he is good to us, and whoever attacks us he will find from us no mercy, so what do you think we will do to an invader who tampered with our religion and our country, its destiny, security and unity?”

OK, so freeing you assclowns from a sadistic murderous bastard like Sadam, who was on track to get you all killed, wasn't good enough? But don't worry, you will have a sympathetic ear after 1/20/09!

“5.) To surround our countries security by making agreements with others around us to accomplish your interests and their interests at the expense of the interests of our people will have serious consequences. It is up to you not to try this and not to solve your problems with others at our expense and you should understand this.”

Umm, Jihad Boy, Barry wants to talk to the animals, babes! You two are not going to see eye to eye on this, but so far, 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

“6.) We will be flexible in dealing with your withdrawal but it must not be as part of a security deal with parties that are traitors or a made up government. You must correct your mistakes and work with courage to pay compensation to all those who you have destroyed, their families or their house or their psychology. And you must release all those you have as prisoners until the last Iraqi of them, and you must order the sectarian government to release all its prisoners and to return the balance of security to Iraq. Without this we will not think that you will be coming with the
change that you have promised, and if you do this you will be written down in history as the courageous one.”

Don't worry Barry, we've got your Six! Go ahead, withdraw, give us all our crazies back and we will take care of you. That awful sectarian government needs a few more things to do, Barry, so make sure you release the insane-violent ones first.

“And finally we in the resistance are staying on our promise to liberate our country and we will not tear from this, the history of our grandparents is the best witness and we will be the best next of kin to that kin in protecting the sanctity of our nation.”

You kidders, you saved the best for last! You and Barry agree to get the only thing that's keeping you crazies from ruling the joint out of the way and THEN you get to go on with the insurgency so you can make Grandpa proud. What a great deal!

You know the weird part of this is how much of this letter sounds like the Democrat party campaign message on Iraq.

Orbs

Vlad, Vlad, Vlad...you have the same fascination with anatomy that Jesse has. Perhaps the two of you should get together and discuss your differences. This is how the KGB deals with the enemies of the state...are you taking notes Barry O?

New Blogging Site

I am very pleased and honored to announce that I will now also be blogging over at Fountainhead Zero. This is a group of writers dedicated to upholding the principles of the current minority while we work to educate the populace and return ourselves to the majority. Just posted a little piece over there.

Well now there's a shock!

Headline reads: Gun Owners not Welcome on Obama's White House Team. Ya don't say! This is discerned from question 59 of the Obama Questionnaire that all prospects have to answer: "Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal or property damage."

Here's my answer:

Our Future Under One O

Devo were real pioneers - I had no idea they would predict our world under O...you know what the O stands for? Obey!!

Europeans

Barry O wants us to behave more like Europeans...thought I could help ya'll get a headstart. This is Kraftwerk from Germany. Get those dance steps down stet! This will help you earn an instructor's spot at one of Rahm and O's summer camps!

Awww...

I am NOT a cat person...but this is still cute.

Catholic Bishops Part II

Looks like some sanity is coming out of the Bishops for a change. Now they are cutting off ALL funding for ACORN. Makes my Roman heart proud!

Roll with the Changes

Nice thoughts from our pal Rich Galen over at Mullings:

• Now that Official Washington needs to take a breath from All-Obama-All-the-Time it has turned its attention to what will become of the Republican Party; or, more precisely who will be the New Face of the Republican Party?

• I don't know. Here's a couple of things I do know.

• Four years ago - a week after George W. Bush defeated John Kerry no one thought that Barack Obama was the New Face of the Democratic Party. If anyone was, it was Hillary Rodham Clinton's mug.

• How'd that work out?

• Here is the second thing I know. At noon on January 20, 2009 when President-elect Obama officially loses the hyphenated title, every Republican will understand how every Democrat felt exactly eight years earlier - to the second. That was when George W. Bush was sworn in for his first term joining a House of Representatives led by Speaker Dennis Hastert and a Senate led by Majority Leader Trent Lott.

• Republicans controlled everything. Democrats - especially overweight Hollywood actors - loudly announced they were leaving the country. It was the era of the PERMANENT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY!

• How'd that work out?

Rich is still a little more optimistic than me - I worry that a lot of damage can be done to our liberties and values in two years - think Freedom of Choice Act, Fairness Doctrine and Gun Control for starters...

The Law of Unintended Consequences

When will the geniuses who got us into this mess learn that there are always unintended consequences when you set out to "do good." The latest installment of this phenomenon is the Fred/Fan bailout. So, if you are already behind you get help. If, however, you have struggled mightily to not get behind you get butkus. Soooo, you are incented to do what?

One greatly overlooked example of this phenom was during the election when Barry O's home state of Hawaii quickly abandoned the idea of state mandated universal healthcare for children. We learned the lesson several years ago in Tennessee. If you set the government up to provide the best possible health insurance at no cost, guess what? Everyone that can afford health insurance dumps their policy and takes the freebie. People are not "greedy," as Big O would suggest, they are just rational.

FINALLY, someone takes a stand

We tried mightily to raise this issue before the election - pleading with Catholics to stop the Freedom of Choice Act by not electing Obama. At least the Catholic Bishops are taking a step in the right direction. Let's see how long they are allowed to rail against the Big O.

'Bout sums it up...

Bloggers on the Right - This Could Happen to You...

OK, this was in Burma but given the post-election attacks we on the Right have been receiving, it's not too far of a stretch to say it could happen here. So someone scribes a "cheeky" poem about our dear leader, O...knock on the door..."you racist homophobic pig!"
