And We All Came Together And Said, “F#*k It, McCain!”

Hat-tip to Demure Thoughts.

Oh and here is some more good stuff at Scrappleface. Read and laugh.

Of Pledges And Pins

The question I have is not why the school suspended the kids for not standing during the Pledge of Allegiance. If they don’t want to stand, fine. Free speech and all that. (Although it is my personal opinion that kids, while in school, should not have the same free speech rights as adults. Unfortunately, the courts have ruled otherwise in this case so what can you do?)

No, the question I have is why the hell did their parents did not raise them to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance. It’s sad that they haven’t taught them to voluntarily show respect for the flag of a nation that secures and protects their right to free speech. Then again, when Barry Obama, the likely Democratic nominee and possible next President of these United States won’t even wear a flag pin why should they?

I bet they know there aren’t 57 states though.

And The Winner Is: McCain

Did you watch the Democratic debate last night? I did. Hillary won it. Obama looked weak to me, stumbling over his words, much on the defensive over his controversial relationships with former terrorists and racist pastors, his elitist comments about working-class Americans, his non-support, support of gun rights, and well, a half-dozen other things. Sure, Hillary was weak too, but Obama, he looked positively “Nixonish.” Did he shave?

Granted he will have time to hone his skills by the time he debates McCain - if he debates McCain - but he has had more than a few debates so he should have done better in my opinion. Then again, this was the first debate where I actually saw them hit with hard questions they way they should be. Charlie Gibson sounded positively conservative last night. And George Snufflelufagous was pretty good, too. I am sure neither of these two guys are friends of the left today.

But the real winner was McCain. Who, unless he has some big gaffe, is going to wipe the floor with either of these two.

Also a live blogging debate on the debate. It’s interesting.

UPDATE:

Here’s a good analysis of the debate and the Democrat’s position at this point. I agree with much of it. And he’s right that they didn’t ask enough policy questions. Much Damn near all of the left is complaining whining about that today.

But then again, these two don’t differ much on policy, so what was to ask? It’s electability that matters now - policy comes later in debates with McCain. And I think this debate very much brought valid questions Obama’s electability to the forefront.

UPDATE:

To steal a phrase from Glenn Reynolds, “They said if George Bush was elected free speech would be restricted. And they were right. Only it’s the left calling for it and right after Obama is elected president.  Why how positively fascist of them. 

Missing Rush Limbaugh: A Look Ahead

William Jefferson Clinton watched the two cheerleaders give him a manicure, and realized he missed Rush Limbaugh. The man was always good for a laugh, particularly when he played Hillary’s cackle over and over, or Farrakhan going off about the mothership. The reenactment of the Fairness Doctrine had closed down Rush, and the rest of the talkers who wouldn’t dance to the new tune. You could spin the dial for an hour and never hear anything that got your blood pumping.

He stared at cheerleaders, the white one sawing away at the nails on his left hand, the black one working on the left. Their tight sweaters said Ruth Bader Ginsberg High School, class of 2012. The Tennessee Education Commission had renamed the school two years ago, changed it from Ronald Reagan High and the locals still hadn’t gotten over it. Part of the reason he had been sent down here to Mecklenburg for the grin and grab. Tomorrow he hit two Baptist church pancake breakfasts, a Rotary luncheon, and a Boy Scout banquet that evening. There was an election in November and the party needed every vote to be counted.

The black cheerleader looked up as he started laughing. “You okay?”

“Just fine.”

“My grampa said you’re the best president we ever had,” said the white cheerleader, stropping away at his hand.

He nodded at the stack of photos of himself in hunting gear. “Would you like me to autograph a picture for him?”

The white girl shook her head. “Grandpa died last year.”

“Oh… well, would you like one for yourself?” he said.

“That’s okay,” she said.

The TV in the corner of the cramped, high school dressing room had the sound off, but he still flinched when Barry … President Obama and Michelle came onscreen. Follow Us to the Promised Land floated just below their smug faces. Their daily inspirational hour broadcast live to the American people. Michelle had taken a rolled-up newspaper to the FCC right after the inauguration and that had been that.

“Switch it off,” he growled. “I’ve been to the Promised Land and it’s over-rated.”

The black cheerleader dropped his hand. “You’re done.”

The white one did the same. “You coming out to talk soon?”

“A few minutes,” he said. “I wanted to let the excitement build.”

“What do you mean?” said the white one.

“I’ll … I’ll be out shortly.” He sat back in the chair after they closed the door, hanging on to the armrests, his head pounding. The cheerleaders had ignored him, left the TV on, and there was Barry … the president grinning away while he clapped his hands, and Michelle, as usual, looking like she wanted to slap somebody, anybody.

Nothing on the tube but those two, and nothing on radio but Air America from sea to shining sea, the bad-news-and-it’s-your-fault radio network. Some girl in Salt Lake fell and skinned her knee, the American people and their past leaders had failed her, past leaders meaning him, Willie Boy, Elvis, the Big Him. Like he should have installed marshmallow sidewalks or given away bubble wrap pants. He absently rubbed the I’m Sorry button in his lapel. Well, he might be wearing the button, but he wasn’t sorry.

Rush Limbaugh wasn’t sorry either. After he got bounced off the U.S. airwaves, Rush had set up a pirate station in the Bahamas, a real blowtorch, powerful enough to reach across the country. It had been a problem for a while, then Barry had stationed the coast guard up and down the whole east coast to jam the broadcasts. Cost a lot of money, but there was plenty now since Barry cut the defense budget by 2/3 after the Iranians promised to play nice. Must be nice to be able to get that through congress. He had slashed the military too, but the republicans squealed like feeder pigs before a luau. Barry … President Obama just blathered something about hope and everybody on both sides of the aisle swooned. Hope we can be friends. Hope we can trust you to keep your word. Hope we don’t get attacked. Hope this.

Listen Up Jews**

You better support Obama or we won’t be your friends anymore. (NOTE: They pulled the post from the Obama’O8 site. Predictable and typical. And what I quoted down below was just a quarter of the ranting that was there. A link to screenshots of what was posted in total down below in the update.)

Enough is enough.

America has suffered enough of Clintonitis.

Americans have spoken loud and clear: they do not want political business as usual that Clintonitis represent.

They want change and they want it fast.

They have chosen and anointed Obama as the agent of change.

He is the new political Messiah who shall continue where JFK stopped.

Americans seem to be in slumber and in complete denial of the present dangerous and volatile world situation.

This is where Jews can help.

By supporting Obama to win, they would cure America of Clintonitis and thereby be able to find a permanent solution to the Arab-Jewish problem in the Middle East.

Jews must support Obama or face grave consequences. You cannot afford not to.

Africans have been nice and helped Jews for more than 2000 yrs.

Now, I say to Jews all over the world, it is time to show your gratitude.

Well, now, if I were Jewish that would certainly sway me. I just love friends who threaten me if I don’t do what they say. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

This is posted on the official Obama’08 website, which I assume means he approved it. If so, how sad. If not, does he have any control over anyone in his own campaign?

I’m not sure how long it will be up, though, once people start hammering him on it. So check it out now. There’s lots more.

Hat-tip to Ace.

UPDATE:

They pulled it from the site. What did I tell you? However, if you want to see screenshots of what this anti-semitic screed looked like check em out over here. (Click the link and then scroll down some to see links to the screenshots.)

** BTW, I don’t like this title. It grates on me for some reason. But it conveys the attitude of the moron who wrote this now “disappeared” post over at Obama08.

Get Your Red Hots Here

1. Michelle Unbound. Best line, “I’m constantly reminded that I will never be smart enough to be a Democrat.” I know the feeling.

2. The Ten Most Hated People on the Internet. I don’t know many of them, and it’s a shame that one is a military member (although he deserves the scorn), but I wish Rachael Ray were higher than number 10. She makes brunettes look bad. And no wonder her voice is so raspy - she is a chain-smoker.

3. The French do love their fries. Eco-friendly since you could bring it with you when you go to McDonalds.

4. General Petraeus kicked Democrat butt yesterday. Well, that’s my interpretation anyway. What he did was answer every question they had with facts and reason and watched them make fools of themselves giving speeches about surrender. If you’re interested The Global Times has lots of video.  Just scroll down to see them.

5. And they say guys have weird shower habits.

6. Computer programming languages and their celebrity equivalents. I guess computer nerds will get this. I got some of it, which means I am only half-computer nerd. (Via Southern Appeal)

7. Navy Seal is awarded the Medal of Honor. I posted about this before, but it is worth repeating.

8. Yep, this is about as interesting as a cat gets, alright.

9. Neil gets a haircut. I cut my own. An old military habit. Saves me a lot of money, too.

10. Babies. Or little pink aliens. I am not sure which. Cute either way.

Get Me More White People

Every time I promise myself I am going to take a break from posting about Barack Hussein Obama, I end up breaking it because of stuff like this.

While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”

Yes, but were they “typical white people?”

For a couple who claim they want to “transcend” race, they sure do keep bringing it up - and in the worst possible ways, too.

QUICK UPDATE:

Forget transcending race, one wonders if Michelle Obama can just stop being such a crybaby.

Disgusting

Only a man who has a profound ignorance of and, dare I say it, a deep-seated contempt for our military would say something like this.

“McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn’t know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues.”

Senator Jay Rockefeller, Democrat, West Virginia, and Barack Hussen Obama supporter, appears to be that man.

He’s also not very bright. While laser-guided weapons were developed in the 1960s they weren’t used until very late in the Vietnam War. And that was really just a test. Desert Storm saw the first large-scale use of precision weapons. Weapons that are designed to reduce collateral damage and casualties by the way, thus flying in the face of that whole American pilots don’t care what they hit thing this putz has going on here.

Keep it up Dems. I simply cannot see attacking McCain, a man who served his country honorably and spent five fricken years in a hell-hole of a prison camp, in this way as a winning strategy in the general election.

UPDATE:

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has more about this loser’s insulting comment.

UPDATE:

Some cool video of evil, uncaring USAF pilots in action. “Ohhh, Dude,” is right.

Now it’s back to the Officer’s Club for a gin and tonic and a round of golf. Evil, I tell ya. Evil.

UPDATE:

Rockefeller apologizes. That was quick. After Obama’s people called him up in a panic, no doubt.

Interesting

Obama. He’s not who Democrats think he is?

But Don’t Question Their Patriotism

Democrats at the 43rd District Democratic caucus in Seattle show their true colors.

There was some time to kill as multiple tallies of the delegates and alternates were done, and when the time-killer of taking audience questions had run its course and the idea of teling jokes had been nixed, someone suggested doing the Pledge of Allegiance to pass the time. (Are you listening, right-wing bloggers? This is going to get good.)

At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos. Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the Pledge of Allegiance up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag (of which there was only one in the room, by the way, on some delegate’s hat) was shouted down.

Based on what I know about Barack Hussein Obama this was his kind of crowd. Somehow though I don’t think this anti-American stuff is going to play well in the general election. Then again, I am sure they will do their best to fake it for the cameras at their national convention and the media will no doubt help them along.
