Joe Gets a Dose

This is what is know as a man bites dog story. And the dog is pretty angry.

WFTV is clearly a counter-revolutionary stooge and must be punished. It's not nice to ask Joe the Dumber a real question.

The Argument Against Obama

The folks over at Hot Air have assembled a compendium of the arguments against an Obama Presidency with supporting video. If nothing else, their service allows me to memorialize a big fat "I told you so" should he be elected along with a Reid/Pelosi congress:

"What follows is by no means comprehensive, but it does shed some much-needed light on a number of Obama’s positions, statements, and associations about which he has been less than honest. We’ve attempted to boil each issue down to a succinct explanation with an accompanying, brief video clip—often
starring Barack Obama in his own words. Before pulling the lever for someone who hopes voters will ignore his paper-thin resume, unsavory associations, and hard-left voting record, each citizen has a duty to do his due diligence.In short, we hope this “closing argument” is compelling and clear, and we encourage
you to share this essay with undecided or wavering family members, friends, and co-workers." LINK

Joe Biden's Fears

First of all, I think it's fair to wonder whether Joe Biden has the temperment and dare I say it, the sanity to be one heartbeat away from a Presidency that will be occupied by the most inexperienced man to hold the office. Having said that, Biden's concern for the country's security should give pause:

"Mark my words," Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. "Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. "And he's going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially; it's not going to be apparent that we're right."

Well isn't that lovely. "The One the world's been waiting for" is going to be ambushed. Putin, Ahmadinijad, Kim Jong Il, Chavez and the rest of the Axis of Evil Street boys are waiting for The One in a dark alley with a baseball bat.



And it's probably true although one doesn't expect to hear it from the VP nominee unless we're talking about Joe "diarrhea mouth" Biden.



The New York Post reminds us what happened when we had a new inexperienced President, although JFK had a much fatter resume than Obama:

"For those who don't recall, it was a scant five months after JFK became president that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev took his measure. Kennedy had just bungled the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, then went off to a summit in Vienna - where Khruschev determined that the rookie chief executive could be had. Two months later, construction began on the Berlin Wall,
precipitating a crisis that nearly led to a US-Soviet shooting war in Europe. And 14 months after that came the Cuban Missile Crisis - when nuclear Armageddon was only barely averted. "

It's probably not a coincidence that the Obama camp has just been briefed by the Bush administration on potential threats and hot spots facing the country:

White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten reportedly held a meeting this week with senior White House staffers and representatives from both the McCain and Obama camps. The goal was to make sure everyone is up to speed on the latest threats and have the information they need to be ready come inauguration day, Jan. 20.

Biden now says that he can think of several things that can happen. No kidding Joe, so can I and everyone else who takes this stuff seriously.



** Vladimir "KGB" Putin could invade the Ukraine or other former Soviet satellites in his quest to regain Russian influence in Europe.



**Hugo Chavez (Bill Ayers buddy) is buying tanks and other heavy weapons from Russia and could use them to threaten and perhaps invade Colombia or other countries in the region.



**North Korea has an ailing dictator and the military might decide to exert its influence with some more nuke tests.



**Iran's mullahs have plenty of opportunities for mischief in the Middle East and might want to start another war through Hezbollah in Lebanon, pick a fight in the Straits of Hormuz or just sponsor a massive terrorist attack somewhere, even here.



The list goes on but the point is made. It's still a real dangerous world out there and it will be even more dangerous with an untested rookie in the White House who is ambivalent about his country to begin with.

Getting Cocky: A Democrat Opens The Playbook

You have to give Timothy Noah points for honesty although I'm sure he's received more than a few calls telling him to shut the hell up. Noah is salivating over the prospect that Democrats will control all three branches of government and will finally be able to be honest about who they really are:

"The campaigns themselves can't afford to believe it. Many journalists know it but can't say it. And there will certainly be some twists and turns along the way. But take it to a well capitalized bank: Bill Ayers isn't going to save John McCain. The race is over...For the past quarter-century, liberals have sweated and strained trying to make their worldview palatable to a Republican-electing nation."

Even though it's only the eighth inning in a one run game, Noah can't contain himself and is going to pop the champagne now:

"It still isn't wise for Obama to say them, but maybe the New Complacency will loosen other tongues within the political mainstream. Even if it doesn't, it's fun to think about what those utterances might be..."

Here's some examples of the liberal positions that America is too stupid and immature to embrace if Democrats expressed them directly and honestly. They have to lie for your own good doncha' know.

*I think Karl Marx had some valuable insights into capitalist economies!

*I think Mormons are kooks!

*The Second Amendment does too allow government to ban handguns!

*If Israel isn't out of the occupied territories in six months, we'll cut off all aid.

*Higher gas prices are good because they make everybody bike and take public transit like they should!

*America won't be the world's most powerful nation forever. And you know what? Handing that responsibility off will be a relief!

*America's official languages should be English and Spanish!

*Big-city values are better than small-town values!

*We're going to need affirmative action for a long time.

*We're undertaxed. Look at Europe!

*Terrorism isn't that big a threat to America!

*I don't support the troops. I support some troops, depending on whether or not they've committed war crimes!

*I'm not a "progressive," for Pete's sake. I'm a liberal!

*I'm not a "liberal," for Pete's sake. I'm a leftist!

*I'm not a "leftist," for Pete's sake. I'm a democratic socialist!

*The problem with public schools is private schools!

Thanks Timmy! If your team doesn't win, we'll hide you in a small Mormon town somewhere and protect you with well oiled handguns.

Obama Disavows ACORN. Which Lie is True?

I'm taking bets on when Obama will tell us it's not the ACORN he knew. From Obama's Fight The Smears Site:

• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer.
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.
• Fact: ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992.

But then we have this Feb 21st, 2008 post from Obama's own blog site:

When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, "I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

UPDATE: Sweetness & Light has a well documented post showing ACORN and Project Vote as being one and the same.

Senator Bluto Biden

Life imitates art. Or was Animal House a Biden bio-pic?

Bluto 1978: "Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

Biden 2008: "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed,"

Flexible Job Requirements

It's becoming very hard to take outlets like the Washington Post seriously at all when they print editorials with arguments like this:

"But the fact is that Ms. Palin has an astonishingly thin résumé -- mayor of a small town, governor of a sparsely populated state for less than two years -- for someone hoping to ascend to national leadership. The country will need to hear much more from Ms. Palin before being convinced of the soundness of Mr. McCain's judgment."

At least she has a resume'. If Palin's resume' is so thin, then what does WAPO think about Obama's complete lack of one? At least she's not running for the top job. She also has more executive experience than Obama and Biden put together.

That WAPO and the rest of the MSM continues to willfully ignore these facts reveals their condescending belief that membership in the anointed, socialist Washington ruling class is a prerequisite to be considered competent. Palin is the antithesis of the statist left notion that an elite, EU like bureaucratic brain should rule over the unwashed masses.

The fact that neither she nor Mc'Cain aren't Ivy League lawyers just adds to their shock and horror.
