Beggar Obama

Okay America, give it up!

I want some more!

Obama is bowing and begging. He'll soon be standing at an entrance ramp to I-95 with a sign saying that he will read from a teleprompter for food.

From Breitbart's Big-Government:

Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?

Let your friends know how important this election is to you—register with Obama 2012, and ask for a donation in lieu of a gift. It’s a great way to support the President on your big day. Plus, it’s a gift that we can all appreciate—and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl.

Beggar Obama also does Bar Mitzvahs!

Got a special milestone or event coming up?

Instead of another gift card you’ll forget to use, ask your friends and family for something that will go a little further: a donation to Obama for America. Register your next celebration—whether it’s a birthday, bar or bat mitzvah, wedding, or anniversary—with the Obama campaign. It’s a great way to show your support for a cause that’s important to you on your big day.

Beware Of Owner

I haven't qualified with a pistol in over 13 years.

I fixed that this morning.

Boy, have things changed - the course of fire and the targets!

It didn't feel right shooting at a Irishman.

I'm gonna leave it on the door for a while.

I Love The Smell Of Environmental Nutjobs

“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”

– Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies

Greenese translation, "Since we are so much smarter and wiser than the rest of you, we have no choice but to forcibly ravage the economic lives of untold millions of people in order to satisfy our crazed social policies. All your resource are belong to us!"

"The only hope for the world is that there is not another United States"

-Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defence Fund

Greenese translation, "Despite the United States position as the single most surviving beacon of freedom left in the world, it must be extinguished. The snail darters demand it. The praire bush clover demands it. The bog turtles demand it. The shrill voices in my head demand it. You must obey."

"The United States symbolises the worst ideology in the world; growth and freedom."

-Pentti Linkola, 'Deep Ecologist' writer.

Greenese translation, "No more growth. No more freedom. Just tiny slaves. Itty bitty, teeny weeny slaves. Carrying cute little baskets on their wee little heads. And you shall all work for me."

“One America burdens the earth much more than twenty Bangladeshes. This is a terrible thing to say in order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it.”

– Jacques Cousteau,   (from a Nov., 1991, UNESCO Courier interview~ sig94)

Greenese translation,"America is evil because it doesn't smell like shit. Bangladeshe smells like shit. I love shit. I love the smell of shit. Shit smells like a shrinking Dark Ages population infested with plague ridden fleas. If I were still alive I would cover myself in shit and play with fleas."

"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of acres of presently settled land."

- David Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!

No need for translation. Batshit is as batshit does.

The Cause For Truth

Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to impeach the US Attorney General for Contempt of Congress. The vote fell strictly along party lines with 17 Democrats opposing and 23 Republicans approving the measure. Now it moves to the House floor where only a simple majority is required to pass it.

Of course there is the usual air of contention, partisan bickering as the Democrats denounce the measure; but there is a certain oily tang to it, a redolent stench of ancient sins, modern corruption and the ever present hypocrisy of Washington politics.

From the Hill:

The Congressional Tri-Caucus, meanwhile, condemned the move as “politics at its worst.” The caucus consists of nearly 80, mostly Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.

“This is an extremely low moment in our body politic,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Ill.), the chairman of the CBC. “The cause for civility has been met by an unnecessary and unfortunate partisanship.” [emphasis mine ~sig94]

What about the cause for truth? The cause for the unvarnished truth that would establish the circumstances surrounding a disastrous operation that has caused the death of at least one federal agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens? Since when has civility superseded truth? How did we miss the memo?  This is Satan in action as he destroys the legal fabric of our society.

And I say ancient sin because this type of brigandry is as old as mankind itself. I am reminded of how honest men react to this type of abuse and how their outrage is reflected through the ages. Sample this oration of Cicero (the first of four) against Cataline in 63 BC.

When, O Catiline, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now? Do not the nightly guards placed on the Palatine Hill—do not the watches posted throughout the city—does not the alarm of the people, and the union of all good men—does not the precaution taken of assembling the senate in this most defensible place—do not the looks and countenances of this venerable body here present, have any effect upon you? Do you not feel that your plans are detected? Do you not see that your conspiracy is already arrested and rendered powerless by the knowledge which every one here possesses of it? What is there that you did last night, what the night before— where is it that you were—who was there that you summoned to meet you—what design was there which was adopted by you, with which you think that any one of us is unacquainted?

Shame on the age and on its principles! The senate is aware of these things; the consul sees them; and yet this man lives. Lives! aye, he comes even into the senate. He takes a part in the public deliberations; he is watching and marking down and checking off for slaughter every individual among us. And we, gallant men that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks.

You ought, O Catiline, long ago to have been led to execution by command of the consul. That destruction which you have been long plotting against us ought to have already fallen on your own head.

Lucius Sergius Catilina was part of a plot to assassinate the consul (Cicero) and take over the Roman government. These were the Catilinian Conspiracies that arose in part due to the tremendous debt foisted upon the Roman Republic by a series of wars. The economy of Roman was in shambles and many farmers lost their homes and moved to Rome; there they swelled the ranks of the unemployed and volatile poor which included many veterans. It was from these ranks that Catiline sought to build another army and conquer Rome. Catiline was killed in battle with his make shift army in 62 BC.

Chicagostan

The Daily reports:

While 144 Americans have died in Afghanistan in 2012, a whopping 228 Chicago residents have been killed, and the murder rate is up a staggering 35 percent from last year. That’s a rash of homicides quadruple the rate of New York City’s, and police and crime experts fear it may only get worse.

Death Comparison

********Chicago *********Afghanistan
2012 ....... 228 ................. 149
2011 ....... 430 ................. 418
2010 ....... 432 ................. 499
2009 ....... 458 ................. 317
2008 ....... 510 ................. 155
2007 ....... 443 ................. 117
2006 ....... 468 ................. 99
2005 ....... 448 ................. 98
Total ..... 3417 ................ 1852
It's a quagmire. We must abandon Chicago.

In no way am I trying to equate these deaths nor the manner in which these souls met their Maker. However, the point being made is abundantly clear. The number of Americans deployed to Afghanistan is far less than the number of Americans living in Chicago. The chance that an American will die in Chicago is far greater.

The Inappropriate Carry On Blues

A woman was told she could not board a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas to New York because "her cleavage was inappropriate." She refused to stow the offensive baggage and got on the flight anyway. Southwest Airlines has issued her an apology and a carry on sweater puppy kennel.

Yes, By All Means Make Him An Ambassador To Iran

Mia Farrow's son with Andre Previn has issues with his mother's ex-husband, hyper-neurotic movie star and director Woody Allen. The son, Satchel Ronan O’Sullivan Farrow, is disturbed that his father left his mother and married his adopted half-sister, Soon-Yi Previn. While the nation's true chronic unemployment numbers are approaching 20% and people are growing ever more desperate for work, young master Ronan has procured an appointment as a special adviser to the Secretary of State for Global Youth Issues and director of the State Department’s Global Youth Issues office. I have an issue with that.

I'll Take "We'll Kick Your Ass Again" For A Thousand, Alex

Even though it appears that the Muslim Brotherhood has won the Presidential Elections, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (Scaf) has pretty much taken over Egypt. A confidential and reliable source within the Supreme Council has admitted that they fear that the "Allah-cursed Joos will kick the ever lovin felafel out of us" if the Muslim Brotherhood actually takes power. Israel is already suffering attacks from the Sinai Penisula and has moved tanks and other equipment into the area. Docile for decades since the 1979 Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty, radical Muslims have moved into the Sinai and used it as a base for assaulting Israeli workers constructing a defensive barrier.

President Obama is watching this situation with great interest. Obama's close political advisor, David Axelrod, was heard to whisper to the President that "those stinking Tea Party conservatives will kick the ever lovin' subpoenas out of us" if they actually win an election.

Watch for a coup.

Can't We All Just Get Along ... He Does Now

Here's an unexpected Father's Day present, Rodney King is no longer with us.
From Fox News:

Rodney King, key figure in LA riots, found dead
[...]King's fiancé called 911 at 5:25 a.m. to report that she found him at the bottom of the swimming pool at their home in Rialto, Calif., police Lt. Dean Hardin said.

Officers arrived to find King in the water and unresponsive, with no signs of foul play. He was transported to Arrowhead Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:11 a.m, Hardin said.

The San Bernardino County coroner will perform an autopsy within 48 hours.

No photos. Just about everything this man did was a waste of breath.

Obama throwing American workers under the chopper...

Obama has signed a no-bid deal to buy 21 light attack helicopters from ....

The Russians.
From Investors.com:

[...]Now, here's the twist you might not have expected: At the same time as the Obama administration is denouncing Russia for sending MI-17 attack helicopters to Syria, the Obama administration is buying MI-17 attack helicopters from the same Russian arms exporter, Rosboronexport.

Yes, that's right. The Obama administration is paying recalcitrant Russia $375 million for a posse of 21 MI-17's. In turn, the Obama administration will give these Russian MI-17's to Afghan government forces to fight the newest generation of rebels in the harsh terrain of that forsaken land.

You heard right. The same Russians who devastated Afghan villages in ten years of bloody murder, who decimated the country, placed explosive charges in dolls and dropped them for little Afghan girls to play with ... are getting $375 million in taxpayer dollars from America's Dear Beloved Leader to build helicopters so we can give them to the Afghans that the Russians didn't kill.
And what about American manufacturers of helicopters?  All fifteen of them and their thousands of employees?

 Don't American workers get a bite of the apple?

Do our choppers stink?

How much more "flexibility" does Dear Beloved Leader have to show the Rooosians? Does bending over and grabbing your ankles indicate flexibility? If so, we are rapidly becoming as flexible as the French.

A Moment Of Truth: That SOB In The White House Would Sell Us out For A Pack Of Cigarettes And Some Lip Gloss

From Mediate via Lucianne:

Early Wednesday morning, the non-profit consumer rights advocacy group and long-time critic of President Barack Obama, Public Citizen, released a leaked trade document detailing the administration’s trade objectives. The document is said to be one of the most controversial of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, a multilateral free trade agreement aimed to liberalize economies in the Asia-Pacific region.

[...]Much of the document focuses on granting multinational corporations, specifically those from overseas, more political power through clauses that will anger environmental activists and labor unions. As established by the document, international multinational corporations would be able to appeal American laws regulating trade to an international tribunal, which would then rule for or against the request.

This follows on the heels of the Obama Administration refusing to allow the Senate Finance Committee’s Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness to review the proposed treaty. Gee, I wonder why.

The Public Citizen takes this treaty for a test drive and finds that it is a very bumpy ride:

“The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these past two years of TPP negotiations,” said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch. “Via closed-door negotiations, U.S. officials are rewriting swaths of U.S. law that have nothing to do with trade and in a move that will infuriate left and right alike have agreed to submit the U.S. government to the jurisdiction of foreign tribunals that can order unlimited payments of our tax dollars to foreign corporations that don’t want to comply with the same laws our domestic firms do.”

 

Although the TPP has been branded a “trade” agreement, the leaked text of the pact’s Investment Chapter shows that the TPP would:

• Limit how U.S. federal and state officials could regulate foreign firms operating within U.S. boundaries, with requirements to provide them greater rights than domestic firms;
• Extend the incentives for U.S. firms to offshore investment and jobs to lower-wage countries;
• Establish a two-track legal system that gives foreign firms new rights to skirt U.S. courts and laws, directly sue the U.S. government before foreign tribunals and demand compensation for financial, health, environmental, land use and other laws they claim undermine their TPP privileges; and
• Allow foreign firms to demand compensation for the costs of complying with U.S. financial or environmental regulations that apply equally to domestic and foreign firms.

I'll Take "Lies Out Her Ass" For $400, Alex

From Breitbart Big Government:

In 1990, Rutgers Professor Philip Shuchman charged Elizabeth Warren, along with Teresa A. Sullivan (above), the President of University of Virginia who resigned unexpectedly yesterday, and Jay Westbrook, her two co-authors of the 1989 book, As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy and Consumer Credit in America, with “scientific misconduct.” Within a few months, Warren’s friends and former colleagues at the University of Texas quickly completed an error-filled investigation.

This secret report was accepted by University of Texas President William Cunningham. For two decades, Warren and her co-authors have claimed in academic circles that this report--never before made public--exonerated them.

Not so fast. Princess Hidem Data and her war party have been hiding behind a lack of interest for over two decades. No longer.

Did the authors arrange matters so that they could not provide access to the computer printouts by case, with corresponding bankruptcy court file numbers, thus preventing any independent check of the raw data in the files from which they took their information?

Of course they did. How else can you expect a poor, oppressed Indian maiden to achieve academic success?

After they received their funding, they chose to apply “human subject safeguards” by removing identifying information (case number, petitioner name, and a subsequent “identifier” they added) from the raw data files used in the study--over 1,500 bankruptcy records, each one containing over 200 fields of information (such as assets, liabilities, homeownership, marital status, etc.) That change in methodology made their research data unverifiable.

And thus the book, "As We Forgive Our Debtors" has now been republished under a new title, "As We Plead The Fifth."

Nobody Died At Watergate

Rose Mary Woods, President Richard M. Nixon's secretary, in 1973, leans over and

 breaks wind during her interview with WaPo investigative reporter Carl Bernstein.

The usual suspects are trying to put distance between the fortieth anniversary of the break in at Watergate with the recent national security leaks out of the White House.

Let's be really careful before we start a witch hunt here," said Bernstein, who was one of the reporters at the Washington Post who spent months investigating Richard Nixon and his administration for the 1972 break-in of the Democratic Party's campaign headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.

"You've got to be very careful about creating a witch hunt for sources, and a witch hunt in which you go after reporters, because now more than ever we need real reporting on this presidency, on national security, on all of these areas," Bernstein said.

I can see why Bernstein likes to revisit this old news as it is where he earned his big boy pants. But I don't see Bernstein digging around election fraud by the democrats, the whitewashing by the US AG of voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers, the killing of two Federal agents with firearms provided by the ATF and the failure to produce subpoenaed documents by - again - the US AG and let's not even mention the spilling of national security secrets by Obama's minions. Just another assclown seeking self aggrandizement.
