New Anti Terror Strategy- AntiSemitic Humor

Well folks, apparently the Obama administration has decided that the best way to combat terrorism apparently is to have senior administration officials telling bad, anti-Semitic jokes.

National Security Adviser James L. Jones apparently thought it would be a good idea to open his remarks at 25-year anniversary gala of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy with the following  joke.

“A Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water. He finally arrives at a store run by a Jew and asks for water.

The Jewish vendor tells him he doesn’t have any water but can gladly sell him a tie. The Taliban begins to curse and yell at the Jewish storeowner. The Jew, unmoved, offers the rude militant an idea: Beyond the hill, there is a restaurant; they can sell you water.

The Taliban keeps cursing and finally leaves toward the hill. An hour later he’s back at the tie store. He walks in and tells the merchant: “Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant.”

I doubt this will get much play in the lame stream media, but the level of insensitivity and downright stupidity here is absolutely mind-boggling.    Sadly this isn’t exactly the first example we’ve had of the Obama administration displaying a tremendous lack of tact in dealing with our long time ally Israel.

All throughout the election the lame stream media kept pushing the notion that if we were to elect an intellectual like Obama things would be so much better in the foriegn policy realm than under that ridiculous cowboy G.W. Bush.

Well I don’t know about you but I’m still waiting for that to materialize.  Thus far all the Obama administration has managed to do is alienate long time allies like the United Kingdom and Israel and make us little more than a laughing stock to rogue nations like Iran, Syria and Yemen.

One things for certain, our current Administration certainly seems to have some serious issues with antisemitism.   It would be nice if someone in the lame stream press corps would ask a few questions in this regard.

Sadly however that isn’t likely to happen, and even if they did I’m sure all we’d get in answer would be the patented Robert Gibbs, “I’ll get back to you on that” response with no follow up whatsoever.

Attack of the 50 Foot Race Baiters

Well folks, now that Arizona has finally gotten to the point where they’ve decided that something had to be done about the illegal immigration problem naturally Al Sharpton just couldn’t resist getting his two cents worth in on the matter.

You see Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and a lot of the other usual suspects have been having a really hard time here of late.  There’s so little actual racism left in the country they have to run around and invent some just so they can stay relevant, and more importantly so they can stay employed.

Al has been making his living for years by using issues of race, real or imagined, to blackmail companies for donations to his “foundation”.  Jackson pretty much operates in a similar vein, if you don’t fork over the cash Jesse, Al, or one of the other professional race agitators will protest your company, give you all sorts of horrible PR and slander you with charges that make you guilty even after you prove your innocent.

So this is pretty much a golden opportunity for Al, he can jump up on a soap box and tell everyone how horribly racist this new law is and how all the poor Hispanics are going to be hassled day in, day out by the jack booted thugs of the police department.

But the truth is once you get past all the smoke and mirrors all this Arizona law really does is give local police the authority to do what ICE and other federal agencies are supposed to be doing in the first place, and that is identifying and then detaining people who are here illegally.

Look folks, our immigration system is terrible and most certainly needs a major overhaul.  It is far too difficult to come to the United States legally and work.  A lot of the folks who are here illegally are just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.  I can certainly understand and to a certain extent sympathize with these people.

But that doesn’t mean that we can continue down the path that were on now, our current “system” for handling the problem is a disaster.  We have millions of illegals in this country who take from the system for health care, education, and other services and who really don’t contribute much back to it in the form of taxes.

To make matters worse their is a huge criminal element in Mexico that takes advantage of our lack of will in enforcing our own immigration laws and the results are devastating.    Phoenix, Arizona leads the world in kidnappings and violent crime abounds all along the Mexican border.

The plain and simple truth is something has to be done, and yes that might mean some legal citizen of the United States might have to suffer the indignity of having to show a drivers license or some other proof of residency.    Somehow I think they’ll probably survive it, and considering the alternative I’m not sure what other choices we have at this point.

Financial Reform Boon to Porn Industry

We’ve heard from the Obama Administration and from the main stream media all about those horrible, corrupt corporations and how only those clean cut boys over at the Federal Government can reign in these Wall Street villains and put an end to their greedy shenanigans.

However according to  a recent article in the Washington Post it seems as if those clean cut boys over at the SEC have been a bit too busy surfing porn websites to actually keep any sort of an eye on Wall Street.

Yes folks, these are the tireless watchdogs that Obama wants to give even higher salaries and more enforcement powers too.  Well if nothing else it would be the first thing his Administration has actually done to “stimulate” the economy, since most of that will apparently be going to pay for subscriptions for online porn.

Meet Charles Lollar

Ever heard of Charles Lollar?  If not I’m not tremendously surprised, he’s a republican Congressional candidate from Maryland’s 5th district.  So what makes Charles special?  Well for one, he’ll be running against Steny Hoyer for the 5th District Congressional seat in 2010.

Yes folks, that Steny Hoyer.  You know, the one that called anyone who had the temerity to oppose Obama care Unamerican.  Yes, Steny has been shooting his mouth off for quite some time about what a bunch of racist, teabagging rednecks we all are if we oppose the radical leftwing agenda of the Obama Administration and dare to stand up and say so.

So I think we should all thank Steny, by donating a few bucks to Charles Lollar’s campaign.  You can see Charles’s website here to learn more about him for yourself:

My personal favorite Charles quote so far?

“All to often our Congress forgets that people create jobs and government creates bureaucracies.”

Leftwing Hysteria Abounds

Just a few tidbits I’ve run across this morning for various news items.  From the Hill, Nancy Pelosi called a Press Conference to unveil new light fixtures in the House Cafeteria.

Now considering how many people are out there protesting high taxes, you would think ole San Fran Nan would realize that bragging about paying $140,000 for new light fixtures would probably be a stupid thing to do at the moment.  But as usual Nancy isn’t worried about the opinions of us “little folk”.  Supposedly the new light fixtures are more energy efficient and will supposedly pay for themselves over 10 years time.  Course we heard that same song and dance on the health care bill so I’m not exactly holding my breath.

From Henry County, Georgia this morning, Clifford “T.I.” Harris is apparently out of jail and doing community service.  He made a trip to the Woodland Middle School where he gave some sort of presentation.  So who is Clifford “T.I.” Harris you might ask?  Well I had to ask the same thing.  Apparently he’s some sort of scumbag rap artist who has multiple arrests, including a conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and having one of his bodyguards attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers for him.

Well apparently none of the parents were notified that this pillar of the community had been invited to the school to speak, and only found out about it after the fact.  When a concerned parent contacted Dr. Terry Oatts, the Woodland Middle School Principal, he was sent the following in an email responding to his concerns from Dr. Oatts:

“I thought about asking a guy who snorted cocaine and got arrested for DUI when he was 30 to come and speak to our kids, but President George W. Bush was not available.”

Nice huh?  Remember this the next time somebody approaches you about a school bond issue, because this is where your money is actually going.  To support loons like this who want to indoctrinate your kids.

Blago Defense Team Wants to Supoena Obama

By now most of us know who former Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich is, it’s hard to turn on the TV without seeing his idiotic visage staring back at you from some news program or reality TV show, and he only goes on the news programs to plug his ridiculous reality TV career.

Well apparently the former Governor’s legal defense team wants to Subpoena President Obama to testify at his corruption trial.  Snow balls chance in hell of that happening.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure Obama is probably up to his eyeballs in all of this, Illinois politics are about as corrupt as they get and most of the players in this little drama who have already been indicted where key players in Obama’s rise to power as well.  But you’ll never get Comrade Zero into a court room to answer any questions about any of this at this point.  And Blago’s defense team knows it.

No, this is just yet in another long series of smoke screens designed to keep people form realizing to essential truths, that Blago is as guilty as hell and that this whole thing stinks like a waterfront whorehouse at low tide.

And whatever you do don’t let Blago’s attempts to ingratiate himself on various reality TV shows fool you.  This guy isn’t cute, he’s vermin.   This guy and the various power players involved were more or less selling government appointments and contracts in return for kickbacks.  His kids took kickbacks.  His wife took kickbacks.  His friends took kickbacks.

Need a government contract?  No problem, you pay Blago or his wife, and the contract was all yours.  Millions in taxpayers dollars up for sale to the highest bidder.  The awarding of contracts had nothing to do with  what was best for the taxpayer, it had everything to do with what was best for Blago and company.  Basically while Blago was Governor, Illinois was for sale.

If you wanted an appointment in Illinois, Blago would sell it to you.  That’s how the system worked.  He even tried selling Obama’s former Senate seat after Chairman Zero got elected President.  It blew up in his face.

No, Blago is pretty much the poster boy for political corruption in Illinois, make no mistake about it.  Sadly all were probably going to have here is a show trial and a slap on the wrist and then Blago will go back to his new reality TV career.

Such filth rarely if ever get what they deserve.

Financial Reform: You Bring the Dog, I’ll Bring the Pony

Ok, well it’s no secret by this point that the SEC investigation of Goldman Sachs is obviously nothing more than a well timed political ploy to help push Obama’s new financial “reform” package.

The package itself will do absolutely nothing for “reform” of course, what it does do is benefit huge companies like Goldman Sachs more or less ensuring that they have almost nothing to fear from risky investments or bad business decisions by permantely codifying bailouts for them into law.

But the thing that was nagging at me was why the Administration would chose Goldman Sachs, a company who is so in bed with the Obama administration that it’s often called “Government” Sachs, as a target for their witch hunt.

Certainly their had to be a lot of other Wall Street firms they could have gone after, why Goldman Sachs?  Then on the drive in this morning it hit me, the last thing in the world you would want would be to drag some actual Wall Street Firm into a nationally publicized hearing and have them present the truth, that it was Congress, and not Wall Street, that was responsible for the housing meltdown.

It was Freddie Mae and Fannie and the likes of Dodd, Frank and their ilk that forced banks to make loans to people that couldn’t afford to pay them back, and it was those toxic loans that caused this whole mess in the first place.

So expect a nice big showy trial were the Dem’s display feigned outrage at Goldman Sachs for it’s actions, Goldman Sachs will dodge responsibility as best they can and in the end they’ll pay a fine which will be completely inconsequential since they’ll be getting probably 10 to 100 times that much back from the Government in a whole lot of other backroom, under the table deals for months to come.

No folks this is just a big dog and pony show, and in the end the same folks that always get stuck footing the bill will have to “pony” up yet again, the American taxpayer.

And all of this brought to you by the most “ethical” and “transparent” Administration ever.  The hypocrisy just never seems to end.  So, how’s that “Hope and Change” thing working out for you folks now?

Clinton Appoints Himself New Hypocrisy Czar

Hypocrisy and politics often go hand in hand, but few manage to go over the top quite like former President Bill Clinton.  In a recent speech he compared the tea party goers to Timothy McVeigh and implied that their protests would inspire domestic terrorism.

Here’s a video of a tea party march on Washington DC:

As you can see it’s just chock full of crazed right wing radicals who are bound to lose control at any moment and begin a violent uprising.

Here, by contrast, is a left wing protest that occurred during the G8 summit:

As you can see by all the police running around in riot gear, it was what the  lame stream media would most likely refer to as a “spirited exchange of ideas”.

Transparency Abounds

Police chased reporters out of Layafette Park in response to a gay rights protest in front of the White House.   Can’t let that pesky First Amendment cause the Administration any embarrassment now can we?

And in related news gay rights protesters disrupt a Obama’s speech at a Barbara Boxer fundraiser.  This represents a huge problem for the administration.  Since they only like allowing Obama to be seen in front of crowds of adoring fans, they are going to have a lot of problems controlling the room the way they used too.

Hell if this keeps up the main stream media might actually have the temerity to ask Robert Gibbs a question or two and force him to answer, and the White House certainly can’t have things like that going on.

Obama slaps Poland, again

I’ve come to expect some pretty bizarre and quite frankly bush league idiocy from the Obama administration when it comes to foreign relations, but I think he’s finally topped himself today.

While Poland is burying it’s President and many important political figures, our sensitive, caring, wonderful President is doing what exactly?

You guessed it, out playing golf. Ok, now to be fair he couldn’t get over there in Air Force One because of the volcanic ash cloud covering much of Europe.

However, a couple of thoughts occur here. Isn’t he the Commander in Chief of the most powerful navy in the entire world? Would it not have been feasible to arrange for naval vessel transport to and from mainland Europe?

If the logistics couldn’t be worked out, great, but at least make a huge effort to show Poland you care. If you can’t make it to the funeral, then why not head over to the Polish Embassy and express your sympathies to them personally?

Or even have a gathering of Polish-American immigrants in the Rose Garden, a small ceremony honoring Poland’s loss?

There were so many classy, thoughtful ways to handle this situation that its not even funny. And what did our wondrous Administration come up with? Well, screw it, we’ll just blow it off and go play some golf.

The Polish government was outraged. I can’t say as I blame them. Personally I’m sickened and stunned. The only upside to all of this is nobody let that idiot Biden anywhere near a microphone so he could add even more insult to injury, as he always seems to do in times like these.

I have sent my own letter of condolence via email to the Polish Embassy in washington, the email address there is:

washington.consular@msz.gov.pl

I’ve apologized for the boorish and inexcusable behavior of our Lout in Chief, and expressed my most sincere regret for their loss.

I would encourage others to do the same, for sadly at the moment it looks as if that is the only way the Polish people will ever know that we give a crap one way or the other.

Sadly again we find that our government can’t even handle the simplest of tasks that requires virtually no effort whatsoever, and yet these idiots think they’re qualified to take over our lives and our economy? Not to worry Poland, your faith will be redeem in 2010 and even more so in 2012, when we retire what is without a doubt one of the worst President’s in all of American history.
