Attention Pol Pundits!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 11:42:11 AM
For the benefit of the punditry who have been speculating about whether the Virginia gubernatorial election is a referendum on the Obama presidency, I would like to explain my vote for Bob McDonnell today.
 
When I went to the polls today it was on my mind, in fact, it was the ONLY thing on my mind! I hope that clears things up for you.
 
YES IT WAS!

Exciting News!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 7:17:42 PM
Are you feeling low because you lost your job? Can’t make that mortgage payment AND buy food? Did your 401k evaporate like a puff of smoke? Is the only thing holding you back from starting up the lawnmower, lying down, and ending it all is the fact that you can’t afford the gas? Is that what’s troubling you, Bunkie?

WELL THEN BUNKIE, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH AND MARCH STRAIGHT TO YOUR TV SET WHERE THE ANSWER IS WAITING!

Now, thanks to the massive cooperation of the good folks at EIF and network television, together with a veritable galaxy of Hollyweird stars; you’ll be able to get through these tough times by tuning in to the all new Obama Channels!

Our maximum leader, who is very smart, and a keen student of history, is well aware of how during the Great Depression the spirits of the down trodden masses were uplifted by the sight of their betters leading a lavish lifestyle, feasting in expensive eateries, traveling all over the world to exotic hot spots, and blowing more on dinner and a show than you made in the first 20 years of your work life.

Now through the miracle of advanced communications you’ll be part of the in crowd!

• Be witness to the regular Wednesday night cocktail party at the White House! You’ll almost be able to smell the Wagyu beef and arugula!
• Be dazzled by the fabulous themed music presentations happening weekly and performed by those top acts you can no longer afford to see.
• Go on board Air Force One for the latest apology tour and follow Michelle on one of her exciting shopping excursions.

But wait, there’s more!

During the breaks you’ll be joined by such noted intellectuals as Ashton Kutcher and Dhimmi Moore, who with other Hollywood heavyweights, have pledged to be servants to Barack Obama, peace be unto him.

They will be telling you about how you can get involved by volunteering, not for some worthless children’s hospital or disaster relief agency, or even any of the those other fraternal, religious, community, or cultural groups you’ve been supporting all these years; but about how you can work for the government! And, you know the best part? No Pay!!!

Well, you don’t have a job anymore anyway, so you should have plenty of time to work for the government for nothing, after all, you’ve been doing it for six months every year as it is!

Thomas Paine Strikes Again!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Sunday, October 18, 2009 11:30:53 AM
H/T to Robert Davi writing at BigHollywood.com. This is the latest video by Bob Basso who, in the persona of Thomas Paine, delivers "Common Sense" about the state of our country today. Many will remember him from his previous videos but if you haven't heard him speak, it is well worth the time.
 
 
 
 
Tonight there will be a live streaming premiere of the new documentary film "Not Evil Just Wrong", by film maker Phelim McAleer. McAleer has been in the news lately for his imprudent questioning of the Goracle on the gross errors in his Oscar winning film. You may remember him better as the guy who got his microphone cut off by our unbiased media. There are several sites that will be streaming this film for free. Here are the details:
 

What: World premiere of Not Evil Just Wrong

When: Sunday, 8:00 PM EDT; panel discussion with Andrew Breitbart, John Fund, Prof. Richard Lindzen, and Prof. Don Roberts Emeritus to immediately follow.

Where: One of hundreds of premiere sites across the country (and thousands around the world)

Live Streams:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/not-evil-just-wrong

I hope you have chance to see it. Remember, Cap and Tax hasn't gone away yet!

Gearing Up for the Silly Season

Posted by Sgt Relic on Friday, October 02, 2009 11:17:44 AM
Not quite a year after the last presidential election, we are being shyly courted by the 2012 hopefuls.
 
Sarah Palin "sort of" wrote a book and traveled to Asia to make a speech, Huckleberry and many of the usual suspects addressed the "values voters" who have already conducted a straw poll won by Huckleberry, and we are now being introduced to Governor Tim Pawlenty as an early top pick for 2012.
 
Mr. Pawlenty is not as well known to many conservatives as is the newest senator from his home state of Minnesota, Al Franken. This writer admits to a lack of any in depth knowledge of the republican Governor but given what the good citizens of MN have just contributed to the "swamp", he must seem like a raging right winger by comparison with Franken.
 
The news has reported that Pawlenty is gathering up "top strategists" from the Bush and McCain teams in an effort to build a possible campaign, although, as one might expect, he is denying that he has any particular aspirations at this time. Considering how well McCain's top people performed in the last election cycle, this may be an incredibly bad idea. And, given where Bush's popularity wound up, it seems even stranger.
 
Trying to keep an open mind about this possible candidate, I undertook to take a look at where he stands on some of the issues and found as Governor he raised taxes on tobacco by $.75  pack and tried to pass it off as a fee. More troubling was the recommendation of his Health Care Transformation Task Force, that health insurance should be mandatory. (sound familiar?)
 
Pawlenty, who is considered to be among the greenest Governors, right up there with Arnuld, imposed aggressive energy mandates on the utility companies. Not satisfied with the 20% figure some states have adopted (not really achievable with no infrastructure), he mandated that 30% of power generation come from wind, solar, and animal manure sources. Wind and solar energy barely register on a pie chart of energy sources nationwide. In fact it is just a plain black line on the chart, too small to even have a color assigned to it. Here's hoping MN has lots of animal hockey! In his favor, is his position on nuclear plants which he advocates strongly.
 
Also in the plus column is his position on illegal aliens. However, and you knew there had to be one, here is a quote from him concerning Globull Warming, you know it also as Climate Change, that really got my attention:
 
"It looks like we should have listened to President Carter," he told the Minnesota Climate Change Advisory Group. "He called us to action, and we should have listened. . . . Climate change is real. Human behavior is partly and may be a lot responsible. Those who don't think so are simply not right. We should not spend time on voices that say it's not real." - Tim Pawlenty
 
Honest, that was not an Al Gore quote!
 
I'll leave it to the reader to decide if a real conservative quotes Carter as the dispenser of wisdom. As for me, I think I like DeMint!

Democrat, Ok, Republican, No Way

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, September 26, 2009 7:25:38 AM
Democrats in the Massachusetts legislature have once again changed the law to now allow the Governor to appoint replacements to the senate. Apparently, as suggested by the senate minority leader, the law governing replacements should read: Democrat Governor’s can appoint replacements but not Republican Governors. Now that sounds fair!

This is a place holder appointment until the voters of the Commonwealth have a chance to vote for whoever democrats tell them to. Senatorial slots in MA are lifetime positions and they will want to try and find the best communist possible, or a Kennedy. (But, I repeat myself)

The senator, Paul Kirk, is a long time Kennedy apparatchik who can be relied upon to support the socialist agenda so important to the White House. Gov. Patrick said "In the next few weeks he will carry on the work of Sen. Kennedy . . . mindful of his values."

At 71 it is questionable whether Kirk can make good on the Governor’s promise. At that age, unless he has practiced long and hard, it very difficult to drink that much scotch and to wench into the wee hours on any kind of a regular basis. With the possible exception of Christopher Dodd, Mr. Kennedy was without peer in this crucial area of government. We will just have to wait and see.

During this interim period, this writer suggests that all young females working in DC might want to continue to not accept rides from Mr. Kennedy’s replacement, that is, unless they are strong swimmers.

Words, Words, Words!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Thursday, September 24, 2009 7:06:56 AM
Ever notice how politicians get stuck on a relatively ambiguous word when they are selling something that nobody wants?

We got treated not long ago to GRAVITAS as the word of the day. Ironically, just 8 short years before electing a man to the presidency with less executive experience than the average Scout Troop Leader, and a VP with long experience but little accomplishment outside the area of political gaffes, there was concern about whether a two term Texas Governor had enough experience to be president without a strong VP.

This set off a long and virtually meaningless debate about who possessed this magical aura and who fell short of the mark. It passed away fairly quickly when Limbaugh started ridiculing the use of the word in long montages of various media and public figures trying to sound smart.

Next up, at least from where I’m sitting, was COMPREHENSIVE. That is, as in comprehensive immigration reform. You probably know it as amnesty or possibly McAmnesty. Regardless, it amounted to a huge backroom bill chocked full of freebies for illegal aliens and the grand prize of U.S. citizenship for $3500 bucks a pop. Comprehensive has come to mean legislation that has more complication than a Gordian knot and is far too lengthy and confusing for politicians to actually read before voting on.

Around the same time, GLOBAL WARMING was coming into vogue as the instrument that would usher in, without benefit of verifiable science, a new age of progressive control over every aspect of our daily lives. Of course, a small course correction was necessary, when because it is not sound science, the planet started getting colder. Global Warming rallies were being snowed out and the whole thing started to look silly.

Isn’t it odd how when you choose to ignore science, apparently even to the point of not checking the weather, your Baltimore demonstrators look foolish spelling out Global Warming with their buck nekked bodies…….IN THE SNOW!!! Add to that the specter of a huge Global Warming Conference, chaired by the guru of AGW, Al Gore, having to be cancelled because of near blizzard conditions in NYC and it becomes evident that something must be done.

Enter CLIMATE CHANGE. This one works much better. No, there is still no science involved but this term evidently includes hot and cold weather. What could be better than espousing a theory that accounts for anything the climate happens to come up with?

Recently we have been introduced to a new term in political speak. ROBUST! That would be, as in, a robust public option. You know this one as government run healthcare. As near as this writer can figure, the term robust means; grotesquely expensive. Perhaps a secondary usage might be; draconically administered. Try reading this article at CBSNEWS substituting either of these terms for the word robust and see if it doesn’t make just as much sense.

The public option portion of this latest buzzer refers to having the option to buy your health insurance from the government when, due to the low cost of the public option being subsidized by the taxpayers, your private insurance company goes out of business.

Congress has their work cut out for them. It is not going to be easy to wreck the U.S. healthcare system when over 80% of Americans like their private insurance, another percentage of the remainder don’t want health insurance at all, or are self-insuring. Also, since no one in the U.S. is denied health services by law, regardless of their ability to pay; that’s a tough sell!

Couple that to the fact that this insurance agent, that is the government, already operates some of the most unsuccessful public programs in America. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the USPS, Fannie and Freddie, and Al Gore’s private railroad which loses billions every year are just a few of the more visible.

Robust is a word based in the Latin for Oak and is defined as healthy and strong. Writers like to use it in historical writing to refer to our pioneer ancestors who thrived in harsh conditions while performing difficult labor as they opened up the country to settlement. Considering the costs involved when added to the trillions of dollars of debt recently added to our tab and the effects on the economy of a Cap and Tax on energy; we could well find ourselves living outdoors. It’s called being homeless!

I have new word to add to the mix. It describes what our personal economies will look like if all of this spending continues. That word is ANEMIC!!!

Obamathon!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Monday, September 21, 2009 8:00:08 AM
The president says the easiest way to get on the news is to be rude. What would an interview sound like that held to Mr. Obama’s vision of “disagreeing without being disagreeable”? It might go something like this:

Chris Matthews (hear after CM): Good evening! Tonight we speak with Ann Coulter on the subject of health care.

CM: Welcome, Ann!

AC: A pleasure to be here Chris!

CM: Let’s get right to it. You have said that you very respectfully disagree with the president’s plan for national health care. Can you elaborate?

AC: Certainly, Chris. I know that the president is very intelligent and has given this proposal much thought but I think it may have some small problems such as being too expensive.

CM: The president has said that it won’t be too expensive, and as you say; he is very smart. Do you have any other reservations?

AC: Yes, Chris. Although I have full confidence that the president has the best interests of the people in mind, I fear that some few of them may find they don’t really have a choice in insurance after it is enacted.

CM: Ann, the president has said that if you like your current insurance you can keep it. If for some reason, not through any fault of your own of course, you find yourself without a choice; isn’t that all the more reason to have a reliable government insurance program to fall back on?

AC: Well Chris, I know your very smart too but isn’t that kind of what I was saying?

CM: I think we will have to respectfully disagree at this point.

AC: I, of course, respect your disagreement and further hope that the president will not take offense if my remarks were too strident.

CM: It’s always a pleasure to have you on the show, Ann!

AC: Thank you very much of inviting me, Chris!

Sorry, but I think I prefer a more spirited debate. If the president is right about only having to be rude to get on television; what does that say about him doing 5 shows in a single day?

Except Fox because they’re rude!

People Who Live in Glass Houses...

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, September 19, 2009 10:21:53 AM
Speaker of the House, Nancy “Red Nanny” Pelosi (Socialist-CA) is at it again!

At her recent weekly press briefing she delivered a textbook lesson in her special field of expertise…fuzzy logic. She attempts to find some kind of linkage to the murders of SF Mayor George Moscone and SF Supervisor Harvey Milk by a deranged former member of the board of Supervisors, Dan White, and that of the actions of angry citizens protesting against the rampant spending and growth of government and its life-partner, government intrusion through regulation.

Ms. Pelosi, who many will remember has recently tried to dismiss the outrage expressed at Townhall meetings, Tea Party demonstrations, and the DC protest by calling those citizens “Un-American”, “Astroturf” and playing the “Nazi” card referring to signs bearing swastikas and the slash and zero of the universal “NO” symbol as a portrayal of the true ideology of the protesters.

Now she adds fear of violence to the mix with this stunning quote; “…I wish we would all curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements and understand that some of the ears that it is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statements may assume”.

“Unbalanced”? That’s a sure fire way of calming people down; just call them insane! Nobody gets upset by that kind of talk. It’s not the least bit inflammatory!

And Jimma the Peanut’s pronouncement of “racism” as the reason Obama’s policies are not being well received, is guaranteed to sooth the emotions of a citizenry that is becoming increasingly more frustrated with being ignored by their elected representatives.

There is a history of violent anti-government protest in this country, one need only look back at the 60’s to see the proof, but I suggest to the Speaker that that particular history belongs to the left. This writer thinks she should take some of her own advice and dial down her own rhetoric. Some of her ACORN, SEIU, and other allies may not be as “balanced” as she thinks they are.

Musings

Posted by Sgt Relic on Thursday, September 17, 2009 7:28:23 AM
Sarkozy says Iran is working on Nukes. How is this news? “Windbreaker Boy” has been yammering about nothing but for years!

If "lair", "hypocrite", and "intellectually dishonest" are words that are banned in the Congress how do they manage to communicate since those words cover about 99% of everything they do?

Republicans are against the healthcare bill. Democrats are against the healthcare bill. Different reasons are given but they are still not in favor of it. Why are we still talking about Obamacare?

Who is the head of Democrat Party? Many would say Obama because he’s president. After reading Jimma the Peanut’s remarks on racism and those of every newscaster and politician searching for a sound bite; I say it’s Janeane Garafalo. She seems to be writing the democrat talking points these days. How long before we hear Obama talk about Limbic Brain Syndrome?

Are you a racist? Here’s how to find out:

1. Are you white?
2. If you are not white; are you a conservative?
3. Do you disagree that Obama was sent to save us?
4. Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Republican Party?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are a racist and might as well join the Klan.

In another breath-taking ankle grab, the administration has pulled the plug on the Czech and Polish missile defense systems citing that Iran will not be ready to nuke Europe until 2015. Russia, who considers Europe to be a proprietary target, will no doubt be pleased at the decision. I’m sure there is no chance the Russians will help the Iranians out on their lagging long range missile development plans.

Now, no doubt seeking a place in the Guinness Book, it is being reported that he will do 5 Sunday shows, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Univision (whatever that is) but it appears he couldn’t find time to do Fox.

Good call! No sense having someone ask pesky questions about Obamacare such as; what will all this cost? Or: What’s in the bill? We can trust to George Step-on-all-of-us to ask the tough questions for us!

I know all politicians are in love with the sound of their own voices, just look at Biden, but this is ridiculous!

OBAMACARE – IT MIGHT BE BETTER THAN DYING!

Happy Independence Day!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, July 04, 2009 12:00:00 AM
Last year I posted the following 4th of July message and suggested that we examine wither we are drifting as a nation.

"A very happy 4th of July to all of the TH family, including the trolls. Let us all think about where we started and examine carefully whether we are still headed in the original direction. Since 1776 many good Americans have bled and died for those freedoms enumerated in our founding documents. God forbid that they have bled and died in vain. America must find her way out of the ever thickening fog of socialism that has blinded and confused us and demand a return to the freedoms that made us a great country."
 
In the intervening 12 months we have lost our liberties at an astounding rate of speed. The stink of socialism permeates the atmosphere as it creeps into every aspect of the lives of our citizens. The voice of the people has been ignored while the power elite of government, and business, loot the pockets of the people and congratulate themselves on having the courage to ignore the constitution and the will of their constituents. These actions are the hallmark of an aristocracy, not the actions of equals acting on the behalf of equals in a constitutional republic.
 
This writer finds little to celebrate this year. I think perhaps instead it should be a day of national mourning for the passing of the Republic. The will of people to be free is not dead but the constitution that guaranteed that freedom, and created the freest country in history, is on life-support and will soon fall victim to ObamaCare.
 
I will fly the flag today but today it goes up inverted!

The Power of the Press

Posted by Sgt Relic on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 7:47:00 AM
"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." A.J. Liebling
 
This may be a good time to visit a subject that was very familiar to conservatives last fall but since then hasn’t been discussed, at least in any detail. That subject is the media and their influence in framing the issues and defining the candidates.

The right has very few voices in that 24/7 cacophony, and those voices mostly limited to talk radio, don’t reach into every market as is the case with the major networks. The press and the broadcast media belong to the left. The press denies it but the evidence is clear to see to any who will take the time to listen and sift out the facts.

Here’s a common scenario. You pick up a newspaper and below the fold there is a small headline that says, “Investigation Underway in Texas”. Somewhere around paragraph 11 you will find that the target of the investigation is a democrat but only if you’re willing to wade through the proceeding 10 paragraphs.

The same article about the right will read, “Republican Under Investigation” and will very likely identify the party affiliation of the target numerous times, using every GOP variant possible, including any peripheral associations such as their church, military background, community organizations, and family members. I think of it as “No stone left unsmeared” but most are familiar with the technique as the politics of personally destruction made popular during the BJ years.

In the last election cycle, this conservative, and I suspect many others, thought that the press, with the willing support of the RNC, manipulated the outcome of the primaries with the clear intent of giving the republican voters the most divisive candidate possible, John McAmnesty. A candidate who could NOT unite the party but was sufficiently left wing to virtually guarantee, if not a victory, at least the advancement of the left wing agenda.

The media was as blatant as I have ever seen it in the last election but the single most important act they achieved was ignoring the conservative candidates, which resulted in their campaigns failing to get any traction whatsoever. Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, and yes, even Ron Paul couldn’t get mugged by the press, EVEN ON TOWNHALL! We were left to decide which RINO to vote for and many conservatives voted third party or just stayed home. The outcome was practically pre-ordained.

I suggest that this process is starting again. In recent months we have gotten news reports about “Green” Newt, “Massachusetts” Mitt, Huckleberry Hound and Sarah Palin, everybody’s favorite moose killer. I like Sarah Palin. What’s not to like about her? Well, first off she was McLame’s running mate. Secondly, she was not ready to be on the big stage and wound up getting her head handed to her by a lightweight like “Perky” Katie Couric. Lastly, she has proven herself pro-illegal alien by approving driver’s licenses for illegals, something even Hillary wasn’t ready to do. There is more to being a conservative than just shooting polar bears.

I would suggest that none of these people can beat an incumbent Obama. They represent what is wrong with the GOP. Gingrich has more political baggage than a 747, Romney still suffers the same vulnerabilities he carried into the last primary cycle. And, Huckabee is only good for setting off another GOP jihad. Bobby Jindal blew his 15 minutes, IMO, when he stumbled through his rebuttal to the non-State of Union speech and hasn’t really gotten any air time since. Perhaps he can recover.

Sarah Palin can run a personality campaign a la Obama but I haven’t seen anything from her to suggest that she can win the contest of cult or that she is now ready for primetime.

There are some real live, dyed in the wool, conservatives out there but as I pointed out, they are not getting any recognition in the national media. Jim DeMint, Mike Pence, Pete Sessions, Update! Mark Sanford (It would appear that Gov. Sanford is capable of refusing bailout money but NOT able to stay in his own yard), our stable of governors is sadly depleted (And getting worse everyday), as well as Jeb Hensarling are just a few of the possibilities that we should be exploring. Forget the past along with those who represent it.

The press is priming for another Bob Dole. It is not in the best interests of conservatives, or America, to allow them to choose the opposition candidate. Be wary of those the press chooses to cover. They are probably RINO’s and if we are dumb enough to get played twice in a row, then shame on us!

And Your Little Dog Too!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, May 23, 2009 8:25:40 AM
 
Apparently, as previously observed by Frank J. at IMAO, botox does not in fact make your brain younger. Pictured above, Nancy Pelosi, affectionately known as “Comrade Speaker” to her associates in the Politburo, leads the Congressional Castrato Choir, some 400 strong, in a rousing rendition (Oops!) version of the classic “Hallelujah I’m a Bum” in honor of those Americans who will soon be homeless, unemployed and riding the rails.

The Nanny-in-Chief was briefed on the upcoming fall TV lineup as part of her ongoing duties to interfere in every aspect of the public’s life and mistakenly thought that “Glee”, a musical drama about Glee Clubs, was to be an American Idol style competition. It is thought that Bawney Fwank is very disappointed since he was to have the boy soprano lead in this production.

The Speaker has had some cognitive problems recently centered on whether, while as a member of the “Gang of Four”, not to be confused with the Chinese version since those folks actually went to jail, but rather as one of the four ranking members of the Congressional Intelligence Committee, she had knowledge of advance interrogation techniques including waterboarding.

Porter Goss, formerly the ranking member of that committee and later CIA Director, said, “We understood what the CIA was doing”. Red Nanny (Commie-SF) has put forward a number of fascinating recollections of those briefings and her final word on the issue is that she “stands by her comments”. Now all we need to know is WHICH comment she’s talking about!!!

Witch hunts always bring out the best in DC. Democrats came into control in ’06 and again in ’08 pledging to focus on the future and let the dead rest. Did anybody seriously believe that a party that boasts a Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, Chucky Scummer, Bawney Fwank, et al, and is lead by the Teleprompter-in-Chief can possibly resist bringing the circus to town? NOT IN THIS LIFETIME!

So I say let the show trials begin! Let’s have every Republican still living who ever served in government dragged before congressional committees, special prosecutors, and senate investigators until the whole darn government is frozen solid. That will very likely be our best bet for escaping the fixes that our new Marxist regime has in mind for us.

Remember, to politicians, wasting time is second only to spending money we don’t have as a pastime in that 75 sq. miles surrounded by reality called Washington.

Smith, Friedman, Sowell and Now, Annie Leonard!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Thursday, May 14, 2009 11:15:43 AM
H/T to Harvey at IMAO for this little "green" gem.
 
Annie Leonard is a former Greenpeace employee who has gone the Goracle one better and produced a video that manages to cramp more wrong information into a short video than His Holiness managed in an entire movie. Best part? This video has been ordered by over 7000 teachers, churches, and other organizations and been assigned viewing for students by hundreds of other teachers. The NYT reported that one kid subjected to this video was so effected by the video that he expressed guilt at wanting a new set of legos.
 
As one who holds the opinion that the echo chamber of the classroom for the last 35 years has been responsible for electing the most anti-American president in history, one shudders to think what this next generation of mind-numbed mush-brains will think is a responsible leader.
