I Chose The Gun

Posted on September 9, 2012 | Comments Off on I Chose The Gun

Peter Van Uhm, defense chief for the Netherlands, explains to an audience of his elite countrymen, why he chose, instead of a brush, a camera, or a pen to make a career as a solider:

“…not to shoot, not to kill, not to destroy, but to stop those who would do evil, to protect the vulnerable, to defend democratic values, to stand up for the freedom we have to talk … about how we can make the world a better place.”

Why, in other words, peoples who want peace need armies. His 17 minute talk, calm and persuasive, is here.

Empty Chair Day

Posted on September 3, 2012 | Comments Off on Empty Chair Day

Talk about grass roots effects.

It’s Labor Day for the unions who originally promoted it (or is it about the 25 million unemployed thanks to Reid, Pelosi and Obozo?). But it’s Empty Chair Day for those of us who want rid of Obumbles.

I don’t think this followup to Eastwood’s funny act at the Republican convention was inevitable, but it sure is welcome. Way to go, Clint!

And more mockery, in a spirited and obviously impromptu little song.

You didn’t build that

This line really has got to be Obozo’s greatest hit. A meme with a future, as we hope Obozo’s soon will be limited to private life because of it. What a genius. One’s inner truth will out.

Did he make your day?

Posted on August 31, 2012 | Comments Off on Did he make your day?

He made mine. I enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s eleven and a half minute oration for the GOP convention, including the device of the empty chair with a teleprompter. It was a performance to remember. I watched it here. Sure he faltered a bit now and then in his speech. He’s 82-years-old, after all.

But he told good jokes, especially when he made it clear what he meant when he felt it would be crass to use the actual expletive. Not everyone of us is comfortable using (let alone hearing) the F-word.

And his best line by far was a bit of obvious intelligence to the effect that when someone (i.e. Obumbles) doesn’t do the job, you have to let him go.

UPDATE:  The actual words: “We own this country . . . Politicians are employees of ours . . . And when somebody does not do the job, we’ve got to let them go”

Naturally some of the Democrat media clones didn’t like it. Oh, boo hoo.

Can we please get rid of this clown?

Posted on August 27, 2012 | Comments Off on Can we please get rid of this clown?

In my cosmology, all politicians should serve one term, and only one term. And that includes Mittens, if he wins in November. In Obozo’s case, the “forward” on the sign should be “backward,” not only because he and his cronies have screwed up the economy, but because he needs to return to Chicago. Soonest.

As for Obozo, per se, I like this comment at Althouse’s review of the new Dinesh D’Souza movie about him: “How we acquired this Affirmantive Action Communist Jive Talking’ Huckster as President will be written about for generations….”

Well, it was P.T. Barnum, H.L. Mencken, I believe, who said no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Uh oh

The American Population Bust: U.S. birth rate has fallen below replacement. Indeed, it is below France’s total fertility rate.

Talking about Europe’s demographic disaster in 2008, Romney said: it is “the inevitable product of weakened faith in the creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality.”

We are toast.

What hath Obozo wrought?

Posted on August 20, 2012 | Comments Off on What hath Obozo wrought?

Holy Moly. What hath Obozo and his increasingly nasty campaign wrought?

The Boston Globe (owned by the NYTimes) is taking note of the political (and, though they didn’t mention it, media) double standard for Republicans and Democrats.

And saying Slow Joe Biden should apologize for telling a roomful of blacks the Repubs would put them back in chains. Whose chains, Slow Joe? We know you’re history-challenged but try this: Your party backed the Klan and a hundred years of segregation while the Repubs, ahem, freed the slaves.

But the Globe. My, my. Hope and change, indeed. Just four years late.

(Here’s a perfect media example. Making sexist remarks is cute if you’re a Democrat. You get a free pass. If you’re a Republican, don’t try it.)

PLUS: I’d like this to be cynically wrong. But I remember the Democrat media’s destruction of Sarah Palin’s family…
