Out With The Old…In With The Older

Published at December 31, 2007 in Stuff. 0 Comments


It’s healthy to look back…as long as you don’t stare. Let’s glance at what 2007 has wrought and where we may be headed in 2008. First of all, if you think last year was chaotic, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The coming year will be a pivotal one in our nation’s history and the political stew the Democrats have been cooking up will reach full boil.

The old year saw Al Gore, the radical Left and the lynch mob media perpetrate the greatest hoax in modern history upon the world and even reap rewards from it. Since they couldn’t defend their man-made global warming scheme, it has now become global climate change, which is [and always has been] a natural condition. Unfortunately, the assault upon our liberty in the name of “being green” will continue as a political religion for some time into the future. It will affect everything from fuel oil and oxygen to truly critical commodities like lightbulbs and toilet paper.

It has been a year of fading front-runners [like Hillary and Rudy], petty dictators [like Ahmadinejad and Chavez] and ignorant people [like Reid and Pelosi]. During 2007, the Democrat Crime Machine hit a new high in lows by initiating the rollback of the most robust economy in our nation’s history and attempting to undermine our troops at war as well as America at home. Instead of conducting the business of state, Congress fabricated endless investigations ruining the reputations of several good people in high places, initiated a series of meaningless votes [more than 40 failed attempts to retreat or cut war funding] and invented pork barrel projects, the likes and costs of which would have made even old-school tax and spend Democrats blush. They invented crises after crisis and relaunched assaults upon both the first and second amendments of our Constitution in their power-hungry lust to steal as much of our liberty as their carpetbags can hold. These socialist predators salivate at the thought of gaining control over our future. The groundwork for the demise of the free market economy is being laid as we speak and will reach epic proportions during the ‘08 Democrat campaigns.

To the good, we saw a year when the American people rose up against the political hacks who tried to cram illegal immigration down our throats and with one resounding voice said, “NO”! Along with acts of green-ness, it’s another issue that the Left, in particular, will continue to try legislating through the back door. In 2007 we saw the Battle of Iraq take a huge turn toward success, the Global War on Terror come into clearer focus and, so far, we have remained safe as a people and a country.

There are those who would not consider the housing downturn to be a positive occurrence…and for those who bought at the peak it is not. But there’s another entire segment of people who have not been able to purchase a home in the past several years who will soon be able to afford it. For them, the so-called housing “crisis” will be a blessing. Let me hasten to point out that, if the government bail-out artists will keep their money to themselves, the free market will handle the correction just fine and things will eventually stabilize as they always have. Interference with the process merely prolongs the natural correction that must occur.

One of the happier occurrences I anticipate in 2008 is the end to the constant stream of negative campaign ads that pollute our airwaves and leave behind their own kind of footprint. But wait a minute. Yikes! If Election Day is November 4th, that means the campaign season for 2012 opens November 5th! With or without Al Gore’s convenient lie, I guess we’ll just have to warm up to it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hanukah Bush

Published at December 22, 2007 in General Commentary. 0 Comments

Hanuka BushMerry Christmas! There. I said it. It felt good. With the assault upon all things Christmas during the past few years, including the very greeting itself, I’ve determined that the phrase “Happy Holidays” is to be stricken from my vocabulary forever. Anyone who might be offended by the wish of good tidings from someone else’s religious celebration has a serious problem. I said, anyone who feels offended has a serious problem.

My Jewish friends have often wished me Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah and I have happily replied in kind. Some of my Jewish friends even have Christmas Trees of their own and the family exchanges gifts. My friend Noah calls his tree a “Hanukah Bush” but not a “Holiday Tree”. That’s the latest anti-Christmas attack; people are decorating “Holiday Trees”. Sorry atheists, agnostics and loony P.C. Leftists…it is, was and always will be a “Christmas Tree”. Hanukah Bush is okay too, in the caring context of my good friend Noah…not the result of some politically motivated judicial decree. I would proudly display a Menorah, if the occasion arose, as long as no one insisted I call it a Holiday Candle Receptacle.

Santa Claus lives for all of us…and may be the only one who actually knows what and when Kwanza is. A wish for a “Happy Kwanza” [or whatever the appropriate phrasing] is as valid as glad tidings from anyone of any religious persuasion. We’re a nation founded upon religious principle and offering religious freedom. Nowhere is it written that four nutjobs have the right to ruin a holiday…any holiday…for four million.

If they don’t like the Creche on my front lawn, let them avert their eyes. If they don’t like Christmas music, I’ll buy them ear plugs. If they need therapy because their lobotomies are leaking, I’m afraid they’re on their own. Just don’t go trying to jam your minority view down my throat with some American Criminal Liberties Union slip ‘n fall lawyer, don’t anyone tell me I can’t say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah or Happy New Year…and don’t make me push “two” to hear any of it back in English. Not in my country. Not in America! That I do find offensive.

Whichever holiday you happen to celebrate at this marvelous time of year, make tolerance a part of the magic and carry the feeling with you always.

From our home to your home, God bless you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Pass On The Left

Rep. Candidate Mike HuckabeeBefore I expose another devious Democrat ploy, I’d like to go on record as saying that the worst of the Republican candidates for President is light years ahead of the best the Democrats have to offer…except for Ron Paul. I have to eliminate Paul from the equation because I don’t know what he is. He certainly is neither a Republican nor a Conservative nor the Libertarian he claims to be. Despite his mastery of most Democrat talking points, he’s not supposed to be one of them, either. As to what Ron Paul thinks, I’ve heard enough to know that he probably doesn’t and ask why he is occasioned to share a podium with so many good men who actually care what happens to America. He’s the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. When is someone going to buy him a set of new teeth and just send him back to The Home?

My real concern has nothing to do with Ron Paul’s misfiring brain cells but rather with Mike Huckabee who, right now, is firing on all eight cylinders. He’s a good man and under normal circumstances I think he’d make a decent president, although we differ on a number of key issues. However, circumstances in both our country and the world are anything but normal and I fear the Democrats are using him as an easy-to- defeat diversion. How else can you explain their seeming disinterest in his meteoric rise in the polls? There have been only four attacks on Huckabee since his ascension to the “first tier” as a candidate, whereas assaults from the left are consistently in double digits with the other Republican candidates. Heck…they’ve been hitting each other harder than Huckabee!

For some time now, the Left has been depicting the rest of us as a bunch of religious nutjobs…and as if to prove their exaggerations, here comes Mike, a former Baptist preacher, surging to the front of the Republican line, invoking God at every turn and spouting Christian values. Think they didn’t notice? On the contrary, I believe he’s receiving a carefully calculated pass! Compared with Giuliani, Romney or Thompson [or even McCain], he might well be be the easiest for the Democrats to defeat in November.

The technique could be as simple as painting him to seem like another George Bush. The Dems have been campaigning against Mr. Bush for the past seven years…except, he’s not running in 2008. Or is he? Find a strongly religious candidate [like Mike] who shares Mr. Bush’s values and even some physical characteristics, beat the public over the head with their similarities until the line between the two men blurs and voila! All of the accumulated anti-Bush feeling becomes intense anti-Huckabee feeling! Just for good measure, deal the old separation of church and state card from the bottom of the deck and you’ve got a Democrat in the White House.

I’ve yet to decide which candidate I would prefer for the presidency but, whichever Republican gets the nod, you can be certain I’ll back him all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The choice becomes more difficult when you understand that our nominee must possess two sets of qualifications. First he needs to be someone capable of leading the free world through the quagmire of these dangerous and uncertain times. Second, he must have the charisma and general public appeal to decisively defeat either Hillary Marx Clinton or Barack Hussein. Unless he presents a powerful second qualifier, the first will quickly become moot.

As we move through the upcoming caucus and primary season, be careful where you place your trust. Remember the need for the Republican candidate to brandish a dual set of credentials and that, particularly in politics, paranoid is, most often, just good thinking. If I’m right, we may be witnessing the most devious Democrat ploy to date…and the strongest ally the unsuspecting Mike Huckabee has is the unholy Left.

Surf’s Up!

Waterboarding ProcedureBamboo shoots driven behind fingernails, boiling egg-drop colonics, forced shoeless marches through freezing snow or jungle heat, violent beheadings, listening to some Liberal drone on about how “we’re better than that”…THAT’S torture. Sticking underwear on some barbarian’s head, providing him better living conditions than he had back at the cave [including cable] or abruptly introducing him to one of the many uses for plastic wrap is not torture. See the difference? As for dignity, these sand-grown thugs gave that up, along with any chance for self-respect, the day they departed the Human Race and signed on to murder innocent people.

Close Gitmo? We need about three more! One of our bleeding-heart, hack politicians is even concerned about holding someDaniel Pearl Pic of these non-uniformed enemy combatants too long. Excuse me, but every war known to man has either finally killed their captives or, at the least, held them until the war was over. They didn’t return them to active duty for a second crack at killing our brave sons and daughters. Notice I didn’t refer to terrorist types as “prisoners of war”. They’re not. They’re, also, not covered by any treaties or other scraps of paper signed in Geneva or anywhere else. If they want that privilege, they’ll have to buy uniforms, organize an actual army and join a country…otherwise they’re entitled to no more than we choose to give them.

Unfortunately, we have too many terrorist sympathizers on the left and a few shell-shocked politicians like John McCain on the Right who want to give too much. McCain has never sufficiently recovered from his own P.O.W. experience to be able to determine much about reality in this area. He simply relates too well and empathizes too much. Don’t let anyone, Right, Left or indifferent tell you that aggressive questioning doesn’t work. It does. It’s documented and has yielded enough credible information to foil several terrorist plots against The United States; no one is going to condemn us for inflicting a “boo-boo” on some sand jockey if it saves lives.

As for what the world will think of us if we were to begin employing torture techniques, what do they think of Japan? Of Korea? Germany? Because they’ve all done far worse than even the atrocities I listed at the beginning of this post. Guess what? We didn’t start this thing but we’re going to finish it like Americans not become victims of political third-world pressure, yet again!

Now, you’ve got the Democrats acting surprised about the technique of waterboarding, as if this is the first they’ve heard of it. Besides trying to make more political hay with it, the problem is that these self-righteous hypocrites keep talking about rights and humanity [with reference to people who offer neither] when they really need to start thinking “information”. If it’s going to help keep us safe, I say, “Surf’s up!”

The Three “F’s”

Published at December 7, 2007 in Domestic Politics. 0 Comments

I’ve had a theory, for some time now, that politicians who understand the power of The Three “F’s” win. It’s really pretty simple: The voting public is Forgiving, Forgetful and Fickle. The Clinton Crime Family understands that…in fact they’re counting on it. On the other hand, anyone who would remotely consider, even for a moment, letting a Clinton anywhere near The White House again has no idea what I’m talking about. But that’s a nice balance because they don’t know what they’re talking about either.

Socialist Democrat Hillary Marx Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based upon her “record,” which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady, or “co-president,” and her seven years in the Senate. I’m still waiting for a Liberal, Leftist, Democrat, or some combination of the three, to name a single thing Hillary has ever accomplished. They never seem to be able to come up with one. I can’t either.

Let’s take a look at what her esteemed “record” includes:

  • As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would “demonize” anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn’t even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.)
  • Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno. You remember her…the architect of the massacre at Waco? Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as “my worst mistake.”
  • Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier’s radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.
  • Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster allegedly committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
  • Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary’ involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.)
  • In order to open “slots” in the White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for “gross mismanagement” and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours.
  • Another of Hillary’s assumed duties was directing the “bimbo eruption squad” and scandal defense:
    …. She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.
    …. She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
    …. Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
    …. And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury
    …. And Bill was impeached by the House.
    …. And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” 56 times under oath).
  • Hillary accepted the traditional First Lady’s role of decorator of the White House at Christmas, but in a unique Hillary way. In 1994, for example, the First Lady’s Tree in the Blue Room (the focal point each year) was decorated with drug paraphernalia, sex toys, and pornographic ornaments, all personally approved by Hillary as the invited artists’ depictions of the theme, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
  • Hillary wrote “It Takes a Village,” which let her strong Socialist leanings out of the closet.
  • Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother’s clients, for a small fee, to get financial support.
  • Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
  • In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played “the girl card” by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.
  • Hillary’s husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary’s correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)
  • As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. She has deferred to the Senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
  • Hillary had one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, which she has since disavowed.

What a terrific resume! And as if to prove the validity of my Three “F’s” theory, with all of this “experience” behind her, she is still the leading Democrat presidential candidate. It’s a sad commentary on the state of America. Maybe it’s because of the bonus factor so highly regarded by the Liberal Left, who also beam with pride over the staple marks from their lobotomies: If you elect Billery, you get The Big Dummy again, too! Gee…they just keep coming back…like a boil on the buttocks of the nation.
