White men were not alone in voting for Romney

Posted on November 12, 2012 | Comments Off on White men were not alone in voting for Romney

Never mind the usual Democrat media blather about how the Elephants can only win national elections by becoming Democrats and white men should be ashamed, ashamed….

“Don’t accept the isolating, poisonous, drip-drip demonization of white men. Yes, they voted for Romney 62 to 35 percent… However, a majority of white women voted for Romney, too. Fifty-six percent of white women voted for Romney; 42 percent voted for Obama. End of gender gap. We’re back to a racial divide.”

Not entirely racial, of course, but close enough. As an angry Mexican-American mother told me on Mr. B.’s playground back in 2008 when I made the mistake of criticizing Barry’s victory to her: “At least we won’t have another white man as president.”

Remains to be seen what all this animosity will mean in the long run, other than continued high unemployment as Barry piles on the business regulations and pursues higher taxes on “the rich” who his backers undoubtedly perceive as mainly white men.

Meanwhile, whether they realize it or not, it’s mostly blacks and Hispanics who are the victims of Democrat economic politics because they’re mainly the ones who are unemployed. Parlous times ahead, especially for them.

General Betray US

Posted on November 10, 2012 | Comments Off on General Betray US

The resignation of CIA director David Petraeus, a retired Army four-star general, has the makings of a true Watergate repeat, with the proviso that no one died in Watergate.

Presumably Petraeus could, if he wished, if his loyalties are not entirely to the political figure of the moment, explain everything that happened in Benghazi, from the consulate’s reason for existence to the murders of Ambassador Stevens and the others.

But will he? “Betray US” was not invented by the Left, in their full-page ads in the New York Times, but by some of Petraeus’s fellow serving officers long before he won his stars. They felt that he was not a true leader, in that he did not look after his troops, that he put himself first, that he was a political soldier always.

At the time President Bush appointed him to save the bacon in Iraq, I  hoped they were wrong, the few of them I knew, merely bitter over old slights or differences of opinion. And the general did perform memorably well in the Surge.

Now we’ll surely see the truth of his character. There would seem to be nothing preventing him from testifying to Congress. He himself has publicized the fault (infidelity) that might have prevented him from being candid, if others wished to use it to blackmail him into silence.

Now we’ll see whether the general really is a true leader of more than a winning moment in an otherwise lost campaign, a campaign lost by the man who would seem to have the most to lose in the Benghazi affair, President Obama.

UPDATE:  PJMedia’s Michael Ledeen raises some obvious and not-so-obvious questions. For instance: “Don’t you love counterintelligence?  You start with the theory that he was blackmailed out of office, and you quickly move to a theory that he was blackmailed into remaining in office.  That’s why ‘wilderness of mirrors’ is such a good description…”

MORE:  Michael Yon, who knows and has worked with both Petraeus and his mistress, Paula Broadwell (herself a former Army officer) offers his positive thoughts about them here.

Ready for $10 gas and a doubling of electric bills?

Posted on November 10, 2012 | Comments Off on Ready for $10 gas and a doubling of electric bills?

You better get ready for it. Starting next year, Commissar Barry’s EPA will squeeze our oil and gas industry by declaring carbon dioxide a pollutant. They mean to save us all from global warming by putting out of business oil producers like the owners of this decorated pump jack in Lulling, Texas.

They will likewise kill the coal industry on which most of our electricity-generating plants depend. Wind and solar replacements are pathetic fantasies. That hurricane-caused blackout in NYC still lingers. Take a lesson from it.  Lay in a stock of candles.

“[The EPA] would effectively repeal the Industrial Revolution,” writes Peter Ferrara in his Obama and the Crash of 2013, “an environmentalist-extremist dream but a nightmare for working people and the economy. It would mean the end of the American Dream and of America’s heritage of world-leading economic prosperity.”

Indeed it will. Oh, Congress will stop it, you say. Really? The Republican House can’t do it alone. The Democrat-Progressive  Senate will buck their beloved Barry and the Greens?

Not a good bet, that one.

Seven million missing white voters

Posted on November 9, 2012 | Comments Off on Seven million missing white voters

I’m ignoring the usual post-election Democrat media blather about how in order for the Elephants to win national elections they have to join the Jackasses in being more accepting/rewarding of illegal Latino immigration and willing to provide more discriminatory advantages for African Americans.

Well, hell, it turns out the recent unpleasantness was not a case of almost a 100 million white voters being overwhelmed by a mere 30 million black and Hispanic ones, but millions too many white voters inexplicably not showing up to vote.

“…if our assumption about the total number of votes cast is correct, almost 7 million fewer whites voted in 2012 than in 2008.”

Obviously they didn’t like Barry or they’d have been out to help him win. And they also didn’t like Mittens. I didn’t care much for his no-balls campaign myself, though I know he knows how to turn around our stagnant economy (it ain’t rocket science, folks, whatever the Jackasses contend) and, frankly, I would have voted for a dead dog over Barry.

I do know the advantages of ignoring American politics and media whenever possible whatever their manufactured controversy/crisis du jour, but come on. Four more years of the dishonest and incompetent commissar and his spendthrift queen? Wasn’t it worth coming out to vote against them?

I want my Obamaphone

Posted on November 8, 2012 | Comments Off on I want my Obamaphone

Doesn’t everyone get one? Or are they restricted to obese black women on welfare in Ohio who voted for Commissar Barry?

And who fixes my Obamaphone when it breaks? If it’s like FEMA, I know it will be broken in a week or less. I need to look into this. True, I didn’t vote for the commissar and I live in a state that didn’t either, but at least I didn’t make any anti-Muslim film he didn’t like. Surely he’s not going to be so petty as to deny me my free stuff?

Lots of free stuff is going to be distributed soon, I’ve heard, before Queen Michelle takes off on another one of her million-dollar vacations and Commissar Barry gets down to playing some serious golf.

What, you thought he was going to fix the economy? Ha. The most incompetent and dishonest president in American history hasn’t got a clue.

Time to buy gold

Posted on November 7, 2012 | Comments Off on Time to buy gold

It worked for Bernie last time. Might as well make some money off our new Commissar Barry and his merry band of morons. Before the bottom falls out.

No need for us to join them in the poorhouse. They’ll only get to watch him and Queen Michelle eat cake. We can eat it too and have a good laugh.

UPDATE:  The price of gold is already on the move.

“It’s party time, chumps”

Posted on November 7, 2012 | Comments Off on “It’s party time, chumps”

This is a funny video. Also a weird video. But weird can be funny, so long as it’s not mean or ugly. No pejoratives were used in the making of this video, unlike so much of the toxicity that passes for “culture” in America today.

The quote of the headline is put in Romney’s mouth in the video, and it’s very appropriate considering what half the electorate did to him on Tuesday. They rejected his sunny optimism and a good chance at lower unemployment and renewed prosperity and, instead, opted for four more dreary years of the Liar President and his nasty, divisive politics.

It’s party time, chumps: half celebration, half wake in the new divided states of America.

Now we’ll see what Barry has (secretly) planned for us and endure what he has promised:  the death of the coal industry and subsequent astronomical electric rates burdening business and the middle class; higher gasoline prices for everyone as the EPA further undercuts our oil industry; the most expensive and intrusive entitlement ever in Obamacare; a further downsizing of our Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force; and who knows what mischief to come in the Middle East.

Nothing good for Israel, I’m sure. Get ready for a nuclear Iran and a dramatic shift in the balance of world power to the dictators King Barry loves so much.

UPDATE:  Today, I’m sure we’ll be assaulted with the usual blather about why Romney lost. Republicans need to be more “Progressive,” tune in to women and Hispanics, and blah, blah, blah.

It’s really much more simple. As my mother-in-law said months ago, Willard had no balls. He let Barry get off on Benghazi instead of hammering him for lying to the world. That and the fact that half the electorate apparently still get their views from the Obamedia.
