Smoking in the White House is A-OK, Smoking in the US Military is Not

2009-07-11T16:06:00.000-07:00

It looks like the Obama Pentagon is on its way to banning smoking in the US military because smoking in a war zone could be bad for a soldiers health; forget all those artillery shells and bullets flying around.

In the meantime, the smoker-in-chief, Barack Obama, has no problem lighting up whenever possible. Smoking in the White House is A-OK; smoking in a war zone is unhealthy.

Obama: "I Have the Blood of Africa Within Me"

2009-07-11T10:22:00.000-07:00

It is one thing to have pride in ones background. It is quite another thing to loudly focus on how the "blood" of ones race runs through you. Isn't African blood, Aryan blood, Jewish blood, European blood, Asian Blood... etc... all red? The Presidents public proclamations about the ethnic "Blood" that "runs through him" seems a little creepy and would be totally unacceptable if there wasn't such a double standard that this President is held to. And where would our President possibly have learned that focusing on his "African blood" is to be encouraged? Perhaps 20 years of listening to this, had its effect.

Israel Stuns Russia in Davis Cup

2009-07-10T21:01:00.001-07:00

Taking a 2-0 lead in best of five, really a stunning achievement in front of a crowd of over 10,000. Russia has won the Davis Cup a few times in the past few years, and the US has won it over 30 times. Unfortunately, the US is down 2-0 to Croatia, also a stunning development.

UPDATE: Israel sweeps powerhouse Russia in Davis Cup, reaches semi-finals.

Justice Ginsberg: Abortion was Legalized to Limit the Population of Yucky People

2009-07-10T13:28:00.000-07:00

You see folks, this is how the liberal mind works. In an interview with the New York Times, Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg had to say this about abortion: "Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."
Now, normally, these kinds of sick attitudes are kept under wraps because us "stupid" Conservatives simply don't have the sophisticated Liberal capacity to rationalize this sort of thing. But every once in a while there is a slip of the tongue, revealing what really goes on in their perverted minds.

In addition to the moral depravity of killing babies to limit the population of undesirables, Ginsberg implies that the Constitution was not the primary guide for the decision, but a simple policy concern "about population growth". She seems to have no problem with unelected judges addressing policy concerns, the Constitution be dammed.

Yucky American President Reaches Out to Yet Another Yucky President... again

2009-07-09T17:04:00.001-07:00

In the 'how much damage can I inflict on America in four years' game, Obama has pressed the flesh with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, he is trying to reinstate the deposed tinpot dictator of Honduras. He is desperate to hop in bed with Iran's Ahamadinejad, he can't stop apologizing for America wherever he goes. Yet the yucky President of the United States will not stop until he embraces every murdering thug on the planet. It's a compulsive thing. Today's Obama dictator photo-op was with Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.

Related news; In what many believe is the beginning of a flood, Obama has decided that 1,350 Palestinian Muslim Arabs will be resettled in the US, mostly in southern California, starting this fall. What could go wrong?

"The Earth Has Been Here for 6,000 Years"

2009-07-08T14:43:00.000-07:00

Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs seems a bit overly obsessed with the 'evolution vs. creation' debate for my taste, but when he posts a video clip of a stunningly ignorant State Senator talking about how "the Earth has been around for 6,000 years", you really have to wonder about the sanity of our public leaders. I mean people are entitled to their personal beliefs, but are not entitled to make up their own "facts", unchallenged in the public arena. Anybody willing to suspend all rational thought to that degree should not be anywhere near real power. I suggest that Arizona Republican State Senator Sylvia read the following book as a starter.

The irony, of course is that she’s talking about uranium mining, and it’s through the radioactive decay of uranium that we know the Earth is billions of years old. And she also praises technological achievements!

Israel's Natural Gas Find Bigger Than Expected

2009-07-07T23:35:00.000-07:00

Noble Energy announced that the natural gas find off the coast of Israel is about 30% larger than expected; enough to supply all of Israel's gas needs for about 20 years. Noble CEO Charles Davidson also estimates that the probability of finding additional large natural gas reserves off of the Israeli coast has increased exponentially. Full-scale development has been approved and funded, and the gas should begin to flow by 2012. It is hard to understate how this changes Israel's strategic situation for the better. I wonder if the Obama administration will call the gas platforms "Jewish settlements".

Cool Photo's and Video of Dolphin-class Submarines

It Begins: Israel Dropping Purchase of US Weapons Systems

2009-07-01T12:40:00.000-07:00

The Israel Navy has shelved long-held plans to purchase Lockheed Martin-produced Littoral Combat Ships (LCS), as well as a fallback option involving corvettes built by Northrop Grumman. Instead, sources say, the Israeli Navy is pushing to establish its own combat shipbuilding industry through customized, locally built versions of a German corvette design.

"One of the things we put on the table is how to vector our urgent operational needs into a project that can support local industry. We believe a strong case can be made for making this into a national project that fosters self-sufficiency and provides all the economic benefits that come with creating a military shipbuilding industry." An Israeli spokesman said.

Indeed, why be dependent on an unstable Obama Administration who runs his foreign policy like a crazy preacher from the south side of Chicago? Bottom line? Israel doesn't want Obama Administration export restrictions associated with the LCS or other systems. The market for warships over the next 10 to 20 years is huge, with likely buyers in India, China, Singapore, Vietnam and others needing capabilities which Israel could supply; competing in the international market directly with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman; Offering a similar product at a much lower price tag. Expect many more situations like this during the Islamo-Obama Administration.

Hey, I'm just saying outloud what everyone else is thinking.

Obama "Meddles" in Honduras Internal Affairs, Sides With Chavez

2009-06-28T14:13:00.000-07:00

The Leftist President of Honduras who was attempting to pull a 'Chavez,' was ousted from office today. the President wanted a "referendum" to bypass the country's constitution and allow him to run for "reelection," ala Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Indeed, Manuel Zelaya is a close ally of Chavez, Castro and Ortega.

The Honduran Supreme Court ruled the constitution-circumventing referendum to be illegal and everyone from Congress, the military, and members of his own party opposed it.

Enter Barack Obama. "I am deeply concerned by Zelaya's expulsion... I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter." Hmmm. meddling in Iran or anywhere in the Muslim world is a bad thing. Meddling on behalf of Chavez, Castro and Obama's lefty pals is a good thing. Wow!

Thank You Michael Jackson - Cool Iran Video to 'Beat It'

2009-06-25T15:57:00.000-07:00

OK, I changed the video on this post to images in Iran played to Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'. I lifted the video from Gateway Pundit who has been doing a great job on the Iran coverage. The entire Iran issue has exposed how newspapers, and the main-stream-media in general are vastly inferior to the Internet when it comes to breaking news. Especially from places like Iran where real news can be obtained almost exclusively from Internet sources while Billion-dollar big media are completely dependent on unpaid citizen journalists to get the story for them. the Michael Jackson coverage is wall to wall at the MSM. Well, at least we see that they seem to have Los Angeles covered pretty well, and there's nothing like a celebrity story for MSM to obsess over.

Elliot Abrams: Hillary Is a Liar

2009-06-25T10:55:00.000-07:00

In 'diplomat speak,' Elliot Abrams simply says that "Hillary is wrong" when she asserts that there was no agreement between the United State and Israel on settlement expansion. Of course, in real-world speak, he is calling her a liar, and he more than anyone is in a position to know. Mr. Abrams handled all Middle East affairs at the National Security Council from 2001 to 2009.

"In recent weeks, American officials have denied that any agreement on settlements existed. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated on June 17 that "in looking at the history of the Bush administration, there were no informal or oral enforceable agreements. That has been verified by the official record of the administration and by the personnel in the positions of responsibility."

These statements are incorrect. Not only were there agreements, but the prime minister of Israel relied on them in undertaking a wrenching political reorientation -- the dissolution of his government, the removal of every single Israeli citizen, settlement and military position in Gaza, and the removal of four small settlements in the West Bank. This was the first time Israel had ever removed settlements outside the context of a peace treaty, and it was a major step.

It is true that there was no U.S.-Israel "memorandum of understanding," which is presumably what Mrs. Clinton means when she suggests that the "official record of the administration" contains none. But she would do well to consult documents like the Weissglas letter, or the notes of the Aqaba meeting, before suggesting that there was no meeting of the minds.

Mrs. Clinton also said there were no "enforceable" agreements. This is a strange phrase. How exactly would Israel enforce any agreement against an American decision to renege on it? Take it to the International Court in The Hague?

Regardless of what Mrs. Clinton has said, there was a bargained-for exchange. Mr. Sharon was determined to break the deadlock, withdraw from Gaza, remove settlements -- and confront his former allies on Israel's right by abandoning the "Greater Israel" position to endorse Palestinian statehood and limits on settlement growth. He asked for our support and got it, including the agreement that we would not demand a total settlement freeze.

For reasons that remain unclear, the Obama administration has decided to abandon the understandings about settlements reached by the previous administration with the Israeli government. We may be abandoning the deal now, but we cannot rewrite history and make believe it did not exist."

Abram's article in today's Wall Street Journal clarifies why the Obama administration is not to be trusted, and should be treated by every US ally as hostile and untrustworthy until proven otherwise. Until now, the only countries that have something to celebrate from the Obama administration are enemy states and terrorist entities (Think Chavez, Ortega, Castro, Ahamadinejad... etc...)

Foreign Policy Nightmere: Obama Upgrades US Relations With Syria, Invites Iranian Regime to 4th of July Celebrations, Reaches Out to Chavez...etc...

2009-06-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

This is what passes as American foreign policy these days.
Continuing his march towards closer relations with terrorists, thugs and the worlds worst dictators, the Obama administration has decided to upgrade US relations with Syria, Iran's closest ally in the Middle East and still officially designated as a terrorist sponsoring nation. Meanwhile, as Iranian citizens are murdered in the streets by the regime, the Obama administration extends an invitation to representatives of the murderers to US 4th of July celebrations at US Embassies around the world. Change you can believe in. of course, the administration continues to remain "very concerned" about Jewish kindergartens in certain areas that the administration believes should be 'Judenfri,' otherwise they are "obstacles to peace." Good lord.

UPDATE: Shortly before the Iranian regime started murdering democracy demonstrators in the streets, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, begging for an improvement in relations with the illegitimate, murderous regime.

UPDATE: A little slow on the uptake, the Obama administration just canceled their incredibly stupid invitations to Iranian murderers to attend official US 4th of July parties around the world. Well, I guess better late than never.

UPDATE: North Korea threatens to "wipe out the United States". Apparently Hope&Change is on hold in NK. Perhaps personal charm will do the trick.

UPDATE: Obama returns US ambassador to Venezuela where the pro-Iranian dictator Chavez is enjoying a growing relationship with the US President.

Coulter: Tiller's Killer was Simply Excercising his "Choice"

2009-06-23T16:39:00.000-07:00

Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs takes Ann Coulter to task for the below interview on Bill O’Reilly's show today. Of course, I agree that the killing of an extreme abortionist cannot be condoned. But unlike Johnson, I cannot fault Coulter for her language in this interview, nor do I think it a good idea to try to silence speech by painting her obvious sarcasm as somehow beyond the pale. The "law" in America is deeply disconnected from justice or morality in many areas. A person making a mistake on an export licence form can go to jail for years, while a guy like OJ who slits the throats of two innocent people played golf (and the system) for years. Rich people can defend themselves against the system while poor people and the weak are at the mercy of our system. Unfortunately, The "law" in America is not always a reflection of what is right or what is wrong. Sometimes its just the reflection of politics. Coulter simply adopted the language of the left to make her point. The killer of Dr. George Tiller was simply exercising his "choice" and who are we to "impose our moral values" on Tiller's killer. She was clearly using sarcasm and the lefts language to make a larger point which seemed to have went right over Johnson's head. Hey, it happens to all of us.

A Tale of Two Presidents: Sarkozy Vs. Obama on Radical Islam

2009-06-22T20:01:00.000-07:00

You make the call:

Obama:

“That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it. So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America."

Sarkozy:

“In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity … The burqa is not a religious sign, it’s a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement — I want to say it solemnly, it will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic.”

WOW! At this rate, I'm moving to France! A country with a real President.

Instead of Ahmedinejad, Obama Should be Seeking a Meeting With Mousavi.

2009-06-22T15:57:00.000-07:00

"Change" is an empty slogan. Instead of propping up the legitimacy of crazy Ahmedinejad, Obama Should be publicly seeking a meeting with Mousavi. That would be powerful symbolism Instead of constantly talking about how he wants to reach out to Iran's illegitimate, murderous regime, perhaps Obama should be reaching out to the forces of democracy, tolerance and pluralism as represented by the demonstrators. Why does this president insist on recognizing the most extreme Islamist elements in Iran as the legitimate governing body there? By reaching out to Ahamedinejad's government he is defacto recognizing its authority over the people of Iran, seeking freedom at great risk to their own lives. And "neutrality"? Only Obama would find "neutral" ground between the arsonist and the fire department. Why don't you stand with Neda Mr. President, instead of defacto standing with her murderers? For some convoluted idea of "balance", and the "right tone".

Sarkozy: Muslim burqa is not welcome in France, calls it a sign of the "debasement" of women.

2009-06-22T09:48:00.000-07:00

In a stunning and brave statement, Sarkozy calls for banning the garment from being worn in public. "In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause at the Chateau of Versailles, southwest of Paris. "The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement — I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic." FINALLY! Sombody gets it.

Richard Lugar - Useful Idiot Alert

2009-06-21T13:41:00.000-07:00

Absolute proof that Republicans can be just as STUPID as Democrats. As free speech is crushed and people are murdered in the streets, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) says that all this represents a good opportunity for the two countries to meet. He says President Barack Obama or Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton should be ready to meet with their Iranian counterparts [Ahamedinejad-Kahtemi] despite their murdering people in the streets. Lugar spoke to CNN's "State of the Union." Good lord. This old fart needs to retire.

Iran's Democracy Demonstrators not the only ones Betrayed by Obama

2009-06-21T12:49:00.000-07:00

Just six months into this new administration, it is becoming increasingly clear that those who harbored suspicions about Obama's approach to the Middle East had good reason to be worried. A confluence of factors -- including his administration's undue pressure on Israel, a conciliatory approach to authoritarian Muslim regimes, and the baseless linkage of the failed "peace process" to the curtailment of the Iranian nuclear program -- point to what could become "the greatest disagreement between the two countries in the history of their relationship," as Middle East expert Robert Satloff recently told Newsweek. Of course, Obama's disastrous policies are slowly beginning to show up his own poll numbers. For the First times Rasmussen has him in the negative.
