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 →

In our dark moments, we wonder: If this is freedom, what’s the big deal?

China

China is undergoing its most significant upheaval since becoming a communist state.  Any communist revolution is by definition an attempt to deny and suppress the spirit of man.  The current transition will be both more important and more successful than the revolution there, because this move has been anticipated for thousands of years–it is led by reality, rather than the other way around.  China, long famous for deprecating any knowledge or influence from barbarian realms, is becoming oriented beyond its own borders.

While we dither and kowtow by re-forming NASA into the North African Space Administration (with a mission to make Muslim countries feel proud of their accomplishments, no less), the Chinese are … Continue reading →

Why We Hate The SuperCommittee

Leave a comment

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 →

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 →

The Insanity of Chaz Bono and Her Mother

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Chaz Bono is a mentally ill woman who has been mutilated by talented but twisted doctors. This process of “gender re-assignment” is a cultural phenomenon and a sign that we live in some very sick times. People become convinced of many things which are not true, but this does not obligate doctors to perform surgery in honor of such madness.

I wrote about this several years ago, in the case of a Florida city manager:

This is no simple personal elective surgery that Steve Stanton has chosen. It is not like removing an appendix before journeying to Antarctica, or having those tonsils out after a series of non-specific illnesses. Those are procedures which rational arguments can be mustered both for and against. The procedure … Continue reading →

On Refusing Orders

[dc]Y[/dc]ou need a lot more justification than this:

A service member who refused to report to duty earlier this month because he doubted President Barack Obama’s citizenship is to be discharged from the Air Force, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
Staff Sgt. Daryn Moran, 41, of Omaha, Neb., an ophthalmology technician with the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany also had called for Obama’s arrest in statements on websites. He said he didn’t consider his orders valid because he doesn’t consider Obama’s presidency valid.
–Politico

Frankly he should have been jailed. A simple discharge is too good for him. We cannot run a military if administrative matters are eligible for review at every level of the chain of command. If an … Continue reading →

Entitlements: Plan C

[pullquote]Plan C is you can shiver hungry in the dark for all I care[/pullquote]

You boomers are in trouble.  Your parents lived through the depression or were directly impacted by it, and they came up with a whole circus of social safety nets.  This system was never built to last even if it had not been abused, but it has been ransacked.  They used it as intended, and you have abused it, hollowing out the programs while expanding them, so that all that remains is a system of empty shells.  Now you want to retire on it, and there’s nothing left.  So you’ve borrowed the money from overseas, and told them that my generations will pay for it.

Well maybe we will, and maybe we won’t.

It’s not … Continue reading →
