Lurching into the UN cesspool

Posted on September 27, 2013 | 2 comments

Supposedly we don’t have to worry that Lurch, Obozo’s secretary of state, has signed the new UN Arms Treaty, which the NRA warns could lead to a real national gun registry on top of the defacto registry that’s already in place.

Not to mention effectively banning handguns and semi-automatics.

We don’t have to worry, we’re assured by various of the usual assurers, because the US Senate will never ratify the treaty and that’s a necessary step. Ah, but is it really? Well, not exactly:

“Once the U.S. signs a treaty, we hold ourselves bound not to violate the treaty’s ‘object and purpose.’ In other words, we obey in practice treaties that the Senate has never ratified.”

Fortunately, what one president’s lackey signs, another president’s lackey can later unsign. In the meantime, Obozo, who is already the country’s champion gun salesman—scaring American gun lovers into buying more guns before he can restrict them—will now become the premier recruiter for the National Rifle Association and the even fiestier Gun Owners of America.

Thanks, Barry!

How Obumbles killed the economy

Posted on September 26, 2013 | 2 comments

It ain’t rocket science.

“When businesses are uncertain about taxes, health-care costs, and regulatory initiatives, they adopt a cautious stance. Because it is costly to make a hiring or investment mistake, many businesses naturally wait for calmer times to expand. If too many businesses wait to expand, the recovery never takes off.”

Nor is it likely to as Obamacare comes online, increasing uncertainty.

The author of the piece blames both sides, though I think Obumbles deserves the lion’s share.  I suppose, however, that by not fighting harder against the Dumbocrats, the Elephants must share the blame.

UPDATE:  I can’t post this excerpt of Ted’s marathon too often and it fits here because it shows how Obozocare is killing jobs all over the country. Do the Democrats care? That’s a rhetorical question.

Go get ’em, Ted

Posted on September 24, 2013 | 8 comments

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s effort to defund Obamacare, which has proven to be far more expensive, intrusive and faulty than its Democrat backers promised, is getting as much flack from the GOP elite as the donks themselves.

“The GOP Establishment is so mad they have momentarily stopped attacking Sarah Palin…Fortunately, Governor Palin has not forgotten…”

Even the WSJ headlines Ted’s “confrontational tone.” Oh, dear. How rude of him.

And Ted’s co-senator, Corny Cornyn, is taking whacks at him, too. Corny, who isn’t really a conservative but only plays one on TV, needs to be recalled.

Ted, who also wisely wants to abolish the IRS, has taken to the Web, where all of us can register our backing for his effort. I did and you can, too. Go get ’em, Ted.

UPDATE:  Here’s a good excerpt from Ted’s marathon about how Obozocare is killing jobs. Time will tell whether he accomplished what he wanted, which was to energize the Tea Party and other small-government voters to more, not less, participation next year in the Congressional races and for the White House in 2016.

Obozo’s Bingoism

Posted on September 23, 2013 | 4 comments

This is for those of you who can still stand to watch/listen to one of our Moron-in-Chief’s interminable boilerplate speeches. Instructions for its use as a game card are found here. Good luck. You have a stronger stomach than I do, Gunga Din.

UPDATE:  Always worth remembering, as Instapundit periodically does, that the M-i-C  “joked” in 2009 about having the IRS audit his enemies.

President Asterisk

Posted on September 21, 2013 | 2 comments

“As we have argued before, Barack Obama’s re-election deserves to be listed with an asterisk in the record books. He is the political equivalent of an athlete found to have used illicit performance-enhancing drugs,” writes James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal, and continues:

“Whether he would have won in 2012 absent the IRS’s political corruption is unknowable. We know only that he did win with the help of a corrupt IRS. And if indeed the election was stolen, many in the media were complicit in its theft.”

Some of us have wondered how he could be reelected presiding over such an awful economy. A corrupt IRS suppressing his opposition’s get-out-the-vote drive is how.

At least he drove a Prius

Posted on September 19, 2013 | 4 comments

The Navy Yard mass murderer Aaron Alexis, that is. Or, I suppose we should say was. Bless his heart, he was so concerned about the environment. It was people he had trouble with.

“First we learned that Alexis didn’t use an evil AR-15 to kill all those people. Instead, he used a nice, friendly, Biden-approved shotgun . . . Now we learn that Alexis was a Prius-driving, African-American liberal who liked Obama.”

Really kills the Democrat news media’s preferred massacre narrative, doesn’t it? And it’s been so reliable since Timothy McVeigh in 1995. Alexis was not onlynot a right-wing crazy, he was a lefty who liked Obongo, and that other rare thing: a mass murdering African American.

Mass murderers usually are white men, like McVeigh. You could look it up. Discounting anomalies like the South Korean who shot up Virginia Tech in 2007, of course. We’re still waiting for a mass murdering woman.

At least we won’t have to endure the usual post-massacre, diversionary twaddle about banning “assault rifles” and such. Whew.That was a close one.

(As Mr. Goon wrote in a comment, it’s just too bad none of the civilians at the Navy Yard was carrying. Assuming that would have been allowed, in this age of “gun free” zones full of potential victims. Not that we’re likely to see or hear much about either of those counter-narratives.)

I have a dream

Posted on September 17, 2013 | 7 comments

The more Barry’s incompetence, mendacity and general indifference to the majority of Americans, i.e. those of the Caucasian persuasion, become apparent, the more we can expect to see his court media hunting down racial slurs, real or imagined. Even inventing a few, when it suits them.

It’s the Democrat’s oldest ploy. Well, since 1964, anyhow. Before that they specialized in racial slurs of their own. Hell, they organized the Ku Klux Klan. Now, though, they gotta deflect attention from reality, which is pathetic beyond belief. Who could have guessed that the first black president would turn out to be a racist scumbag?

Me, I think the Great Divider’s claim on our sensitivity to the his half-race is long past its shelf life, left behind on one of Mooch’s expensive vacations or else the golf course where the GD spends most of his time. Time to send him a crate of bananas, followed by another crate of watermelons. Yup. A blunt message to let him know we are past playing his race games. Give his pet media something to howl about. Then ignore them all. I, uh, have a dream.
