GOP Failing Palin/Breitbart Test

By | | , , ,
Leave a comment

I had this as a draft before Palin announced she would not run:

The GOP has been had again, and deserves its fate.  The candidates are now trotting to the tune called by their media betters, with the exception of Gingrich, who will never be President anyway.  Why are they not talking about fourteen trillion dollars in outright debt, or sixty trillion in unfunded liabilities?  Why are they STILL answering the same God-Damned questions about gays (gays), abortion (stem cells, HPV), and guns (death penalty)?

Because they have failed to defend Sarah Palin, and now they are being picked off one by one.  We had a chance to take the narrative and run with it, but instead we are being run behind the media bus.  Trip once, and … Continue reading →

Shame, GOP Surrendering Palin

[pullquote]The MSM is turning on Obama not because they ran out of liberal whitewash.[/pullquote]I’m not buying the MSM’s pivot on Obama.  They may be genuinely upset at his incomprehensible (or dishonest) statements lately, but they are taking him to task not because he is so obviously lying, and not because they ran out of liberal whitewash.  The MSM is turning on Obama because the GOP failed to defend Sarah Palin.

They have always known that Obama is a liar, and they have always been willing to do whatever it takes to support him.  Lie, cheat, steal, kill, throw an election–there’s an argument that each of these has been accomplished on the road to BarryTown.  So their sudden criticism is not squeamishness about what needs to be done–they are fearless about … Continue reading →

This is bad.

POLICY BOARD SHIFT

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta this week moved to replace key members of the Defense Policy Board, the advisory group of former officials that serves as a brain trust.

“He made it more ‘Democratic,’” one board member quipped about the changes.

Liberals added to the board include former Clinton administration Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, retired Marine Corps Gen. James Cartwright and Jane Harman, a former Democratic congresswoman from California. Also added: former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead.

Most notable among the new members is Ms. Gorelick, who was notorious for erecting the so-called bureaucratic “wall” blocking law enforcement and intelligence agencies from cooperating closely before the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The … Continue reading →

Why We Hate The SuperCommittee

The SuperCommittee is such an awful punt that it should infuriate not only the Tea Party, but independents and democrats as well. Anybody but the permanent Washington DC bloodsucking class. It is a model of bureaucratic ass-covering and foot-dragging, and it replaces the voters with the President as their most effective driver.

[pullquote]this backscratching society which will operate in secret[/pullquote]We charged into the House, and promptly squandered a huge head of steam with shenanigans over the Continuing Resolutions. Not to worry, we were told, the debt limit fight is where we will really get them! Then we gave up the debt limit fight, and in the process threw away our numerical advantage in the House. All we have left to show for it is this backscratching society which … Continue reading →

Amy vs TSA

Amy Alkon is taking on the TSA.  After her unreasonable search (or sexual assault) at the hands of the TSA and the TSA agent’s subsequent attempt to shake a cool half-million dollars out of Alkon, she’s is lawyering up.  Except that the lawyers refuse payment, and have leapt at the opportunity to do this stuff pro bono.

I have written that we should abolish the DHS, releasing its constituent agencies back into the wild, and amputating many duties from the TSA.  Amy’s experience  is not only a prime example of why: it is a valuable lesson in how:

Supercommittee and Jobs Act: Twins

Leave a comment

[Events are overtaking this post faster than I can edit!  So it’s a bit of a jumble.]

President Obama’s “American Jobs Act of 2011”  is such a steaming pile of FAIL that it is hard to know where to begin.

Last week the two co-chairs said that many future panel meetings will be closed to the public, though, press and public interest groups have called for transparency and disclosure of every meeting.

…

If the joint committee or Congress fail to act by December 23, the bill calls for automatic across-the-board cuts, split 50-50 between defense and non-defense spending, including Medicare.  Social Security and Medicaid would be excluded from the automatic cuts.

The plan also calls for a Congressional vote on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution by the end … Continue reading →

Solyndra: Perpetual Motion Machine Wrapped in a Ponzi Scheme

Now I know why the goofy name for this company.  Their one-trick pony is a cylindrical solar panel.   Solyndrical, plus a suitable Kumbayah web 2.0 ending, I get it.

The problem with these panels is the same problem with water injection to boost the expansion of an internal combustion engine.  Sounds dumb right?  Water kills fire.  Oh, but wait, if the heat of the fire is used to power the unbelievably explosive power of steam expansion, then you actually get MORE power from each ignition, right?  Amazing!  Oh, but… water kills fire.

Even if you can get the system to work consistently, the steam expansion would remove so much energy from the cylinder that a tremendous amount of fuel would be required just to keep the engine … Continue reading →

Hey House: Ditch Obama's Jobs Speech

[UPDATE: Mother Jones writer says no need to watch… see below]
House Republicans are deserting the Obama jobs speech scheduled for Thursday evening.  They simply won’t attend.   Speaker John Boehner, who stuffed the President on his blatant attempt to summon Congress to sit before him, has now decided that the flimsy $300 billion half-hearted jobs speech is not worth rebutting.  An increasing number of NBC affiliates won’t even show the speech itself, opting instead to stick with their regularly scheduled Saints-Packers pre-game show.  It’s a sham, and they know it.  Obama knows it, and he thinks that we are too dumb.  He wants to use the Congress as a political prop, and some in Congress aren’t having any of it.

[Update] Even this writer for Mother … Continue reading →

Hoffa Shoots Eight, Kills Three!

Now where is the cowardly and dishonest New York Times?  They rushed to pin the Loughner shootings on Sarah Palin, and hid behind a fusillade of excuses.  I will never forget their snivelling attempt to explain their wrongdoing, entitled Time, The Enemy.  As if those SOBs are the only people to work on a deadline.  The problem is that there is no deadline for smearing conservatives–that’s an internal goal, not a requirement of publication.

The real problem is that they focus on interpreting, rather than reporting.  Everything must go into the narrative, or it is rejected.  They felt that they could not report on the Loughner shooting without somehow pinning it on conservatives, because a prominent victim was a popular Democrat.

Notice that no matter how many … Continue reading →
