Detroit, a microcosm of Obama's America

Meet 45 year old Deon Taylor, pictured here with a few of his brood of 24 offspring. He was found dead in an abandoned house in Detroit, the model city for Obama's fundamental transformation of America. 

Ostensibly the state will now be responsible for the upkeep of this litter, that is if it isn't already, which is likely. Unless you and all your family and friends breed like Deon did, your one or two kids will work all their lives to support his kids. That's how collectivist authoritarianism as a form of government works.....the oligarchs like Obama will force the few productive to work on behalf of the many indigent with punitive taxes, affirmative action, and wealth redistribution all in the name of "social justice".

Take a close look at Detroit.....it is precisely what unchecked democrat rule has in store for all of America. 

Hat tip to Moonbattery for the story.

Shameful political correctness at Ground Zero

Other than the planes actually hitting the WTC, this is perhaps the most iconic image from 9/11. Yet the director of the Ground Zero memorial, Michael Shulan, tried to get this picture cut from the photograph display because to him, it was "too rah rah, America".

What an asshole! This attack happened to America, killed Americans, and any memorial should reflect that. By saying that, he disqualified himself from that position. Clearly his bigger message is that the US is a welcoming, diverse, accepting, and tolerant nation.....gag me!

We are neither welcoming, accepting, or tolerant of terrorists. He wants to make the Ground Zero memorial about something bigger like world peace, universal understanding, and love or some such crap. That's not what it's about. It's about Americans not faltering in the face of barbarians intent on doing us harm and if Shulan waters down the memorial to the point of politically correct meaninglessness, I won't bother to go see it.

Rand Paul for President?

Sen. Rand Paul responded to criticism from Chris Christie and Peter King who attacked him as a "dangerous libertarian" for his isolationist foreign policy ideas......

From HotAir -- “They’re precisely the same people who are unwilling to cut the spending, and their `Gimme, gimme, gimme — give me all my Sandy money now.’” Paul said, referring to federal funding after the hurricane last year. “Those are the people who are bankrupting the government and not letting enough money be left over for national defense.”

“I don’t mind spying on terrorists,” he said. “I just don’t like spying on all Americans.” …

“I didn’t start this one, and I don’t plan on starting things by criticizing other Republicans,” he said. “But if they want to make me the target, they will get it back in spades.”

Oh, it is on! The more I hear from Rand Paul and conversely, establishment republicans like Christie and King, the more I like Paul and the less I like Christie and King. The establishment GOP may think it has a grip on its base, but if it wants to win elections, they'll need young people. And young voters are solidly against so much war....endless, expensive, pointless war. With talk like this from Paul, establishment republicans had better be ready to debate this issue because Americans want it debated. 

Angelina Jolie, suffer the celebrity lecturers

In discussing her new movie "In the Land of Blood and Honey", about the Bosnain conflict, the always controversial Angelina Jolie took by far her biggest professional risk yet......when she came out solidly against rape during war. 

Way to take a stand there, Angelina.

I find few things more intolerable than the celebrity lecturer......especially when they take stands against things everybody's already against anyway. I hear that next, she'll take controversial stands against pedophilia, kidnapping, and animal cruelty. 

Chris Christie further splits the putative GOP voting base

Given that the Arab Spring, as a seedling of democracy in the middle east, was a total and utter figment of Obama's imagination, and that our adventures in Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan have been complete disasters, you'd think Gov. Christie would advise a more conservative/libertarian approach to foreign intervention.....but then you'd be wrong......

From WashingtonPost -- “As a former prosecutor who was appointed by President George W. Bush on Sept. 10, 2001, I just want us to be really cautious, because this strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought."

Turns out Chris Christie is just another big-government neo-con who thinks the US has vital interests in the affairs of literally every nation on Earth. With the sentiment among traditional conservatives to stay out of the business of countries where we have no business, being nation wide, it is odd that Christie would attack libertarians since any GOP candidate will need their vote to get elected for the next few cycles at least.

All I can guess is that Christie has calculated that a if a republican gets elected, it'll be a neo-con like Bush and he needs to stake out a foreign policy position in the moderate part of the spectrum so that he can either get elected himself or get a plum administration position in any new administration. Either way, I have no use for Christie any more.

Family rescued by George Zimmerman shamefully refuses to acknowledge him publicly

What an embarrassing, shameful country this is where a thankful family rescued from their overturned car by George Zimmerman refuses to publicly say anything nice about him because they fear violent mob retaliation.

What an embarrassing, shameful media that refuses to report it because it doesn't fit into the tidy image they've falsely painted of Zimmerman as a deranged racist murderer. 

What an embarrassing, shameful justice system that cowed to the race hustlers who demanded prosecution just because they didn't like the respective skin colors of the shooter and the dead. 

And finally, what an embarrassing, shameful presidential administration that exploits the situation with race demagoguery by intentionally throwing gasoline on the fires of a ginned-up race mob with idiotic, "I was Trayvon" statements.

Illegal aliens, raping and murdering senior citizens that Americans won't rape and murder

Meet 19 year old Sergio Perez. He brutally raped and beat a 93 year old woman in her home in Omaha, Neb. She died from her injuries yesterday. Sergio Perez is an illegal alien who's only been in the US for 4 months.

If we had a legitimate functioning government, the tide of illegal-alien crime would stop because there would be no illegal aliens. Instead we have contemptible bureaucrats who care only about welcoming these hostile, third-world colonists into the country so they can put them on welfare and receive their votes.

Remember when George Bush said we need illegals because they're doing the jobs Americans won't do? Well, they're raping and murdering old women that Americans won't rape and murder too.

Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton......doormat wives

There is new evidence that the worst husband in the world, Anthony Weiner, continued a "textual" relationship with an unidentified woman, even after his resignation for the same thing, and after his door-mat of a wife Huma Abedin was pregnant. This has everybody wondering just how much very public abuse can one woman take from a cad of a husband?

Well the answer is found in the very close relationship Huma has with Hillary Clinton, the second biggest door-mat wife in America. Solely for naked ambition, Hillary tolerated all manner of embarrassment and humiliation from Bill. Likewise, Huma Abedin is tolerating similar humiliation from her derelict husband.

Hillary's tolerance is for her own political career. Evidently she thinks a divorce would damage her too much. But I wonder what Huma's motive for putting up with Weiner is. She has no ambitions for holding office that I know of. She's allowing herself to be a laughing stock for a schmuck like Weiner. Maybe there's something we don't know, but whatever it is, you can bet she's emulating her mentor, Hillary.

Was Iraq worth it? Hell no!

Was Iraq worth invading? You decide......

11 years after the invasion there are 4,500 US deaths there, countless billions of dollars spent, and a resurgent Al Qaeda is reeking havoc around Baghdad, killing other Iraqis, releasing prisoners, and doing pretty much what they want. The Iraqi government is more unstable and vulnerable to collapse now than at any time. Was getting Saddam out and finishing Bush41's campaign worth it? In another year Iraq will be worse off then with Saddam Hussein.

In my estimation, Iraq has been a colossal and utter failure. The more I think about it, the more this makes sense.....before we go to war, every politician enriching himself with taxpayer money must enlist one of his adult children in the Army and that kid will be on the front lines. Then let's see how many third-world invasions we so cavalierly undertake. I'm betting none.

It's easy to send other peoples' kids to die pointlessly, if your goal is to paint yourself as a tough-on-terror war hawk to the neo-con voters who think everybody's business is our business.  

John McCain, a little too mavericky for his own good

Will all due respect for his 5 years being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, John McCain's time is about up pretending to be a knowledgeable politician with particular insight into what the US should or should not do in hot-spots around the world. It seems his advice is always to intervene.

When he pressed the JCS for why the Pentagon hadn't already proposed a no-fly zone in Syria, the JCS humiliated J-Mac by pointing out the it would cost $1Billiion a month, would likely result in American forces on the ground there, and would accomplish nothing because Assad hasn't deployed the Syrian Air Force against the rebels....he uses artillery and other ground assault methods.

Add this embarrassment to McCain announcing that the US could easily identify the bad guys in Syria even as he unwittingly met with members of Al Qaeda posing as rebels in Syria, and you have a mavericky politician whose too old and useless to do anything useful. He needs to retire.

My favorite historical British royal......the 1st Earl of Sandwich

I know you all are hung over this morning from all the celebrations for William and Kate having an heir to the British monarchy sometime yesterday. Well, I'm not as big on royal-watching as most dumb Americans, but if pressed for my favorite British royal of all time, it would have to be Edward Montagu, the 1st Earl of Sandwich and the eponymous inventor of sandwiches. I love sandwiches and Ed Montagu looks like he enjoys a good sandwich too.

I'll bet old Ed had a kitchen wench to make him sandwiches. That'd be the life. 

George Zimmerman performs another heroic public service......black community outraged

George Zimmerman bravely rescued a family of four from an overturned vehicle near his home in Sanford, Florida today....I say bravely because leaving his home is a clear risk to his own life. I wonder what would have happened if he had stayed in his house and not acted....I mean that's what the cops told him to do when he saw Saint Skittles casing his neighborhood. 

Maybe from now on, all citizens should never get involved and just wait for the cops to handle everything.

I've included this helpful picture of what an overturned SUV might look like......

What if Trayvon was white and Zimmerman black?

Roderick Scott and Christopher Cervini.

It's the Passion of Saint Skittles in reverse. In New York, Roderick Scott, a black guy, caught some white thugs, including Chris Cervini, robbing from cars in his neighborhood, confronted them, and when attacked by Cervini, shot and killed him. There's not even a stand-your-ground law in NY, yet Roderick Scott was acquitted.

Where's the breathless, patronizing media to tell us all we're still a racist country? Why isn't Obama saying his white half could have been Chris Cervini 35 years ago? Why isn't Eric Holder looking into a federal civil-rights suit against Roderick Scott? Where are the "Justice for Christopher" T-shirts?

Answer: because black race hustlers in America (the media, Obama, and Holder included) are every bit as racist and hateful toward whites as they falsely claim whites are toward blacks.

Confirmation that government workers are not that bright

Overpaid worker drones at the Dept. of Labor received this e-mail yesterday regarding the outgoing secretary Hilda Solice....in part, "Remove the pictures of former Secretary Solis from your work spaces by noon this Friday, July 18, 2013."

Additionally, and I'm guessing this is because government workers generally aren't that bright, they were given instructions on how to not damage the frames when removing the picture and a number to call if they need assistance inserting the new secretary's picture, once one is confirmed by the Senate. 

Who keeps a picture of his/her boss in their cubicle? This reminds me of scenes from movies about Stalinist Russia or Maoist China. Must government workers be constantly reminded for whom they toil? 

I have an idea, why not remind these useless bureaucrats that is it taxpayers on whose backs their lavish salaries are funded, with this picture on every desk and in every cubicle?

Kirsten Powers sums Snowden up nicely

Kirsten Powers is a democrat, but I'll be damned if this isn't a spot-on summation of how I feel about Ed Snowden.....until I hear different.

Matt Sandusky wisely petitions the court for a name change

Heh heh, Matt Sandusky, the adoptive son of Penn St. coach and pedophile Jerry Sandusky, petitioned the court to let him change his name to something less infamous. 

Good call Matt. What took you so long? 

I'm gonna go ahead and suggest Manson, bin Laden, or Mussolini as possible surnames associated with less infamy than Sandusky. ;-)

Apparently English people cannot tolerate a little heat

Across the pond temperatures are supposed to peak this week at 35C....that's 95 on the normal scale that we Yanks use. Really? Here in Alabama, we get up in the morning and it's 95 outside and triple digits is nothing. We get that 20 days out of every summer. I guess like a lot of northerners in this country, the Brits don't generally have air conditioning. Still, 95 isn't all that hot.

Oh, and I included this helpful but totally unnecessary picture of gals in bikinis to illustrate hot weather. Those surf boards must be accessories because I don't see any waves, but then who's looking at the surf boards?

The takeaway from the Zimmerman/Trayvon deal

A friend of a friend posted this on his Facebook wall and I thought it pretty nicely sums up the take-away from the Zimmerman/Trayvon deal....

The outraged anti-Zimmerman lefty media continues to be irresponsible & our of control. They keep asking "What do we tell our children?" in the wake of the verdict. I've got the answer. Tell them don't walk up to a complete stranger and start beating the hell out of him. He might have a gun. 

Definitely words to live by. 

News readers are morons

This is 7th-grade-prank level stuff. How did something so obvious get past the producers, flunkie newsroom staff, and the brain-dead news reader herself? How ever it happened, it's absolutely hilarious that it made it to air. Heh heh, idiots!

Holder will turn travesty into farce with federal prosecution of Zimmerman

Known racist, AG Eric Holder, is considering whether to pursue civil rights charges against George Zimmerman. This, despite a thorough investigation by Holder's own agency, the FBI, that shows Zimmerman has never displayed any racist thoughts, tendencies, or actions.

What is to consider for Holder, unless as a whitey-hating racist, he just can't pass up the opportunity to prosecute a "white Hispanic" for killing a black thug, because he(Holder) still sees America as "...a nation of cowards when it comes to race"?

Let's recruit Inger Stojberg to the US

This is Inger Stojberg, Denmark's immigration spokesperson. She's apparently fed up with whining Muslim immigrants in her country trying to force the Danes to accept their backward ways of life.....

“Denmark is the land of the Danes and you are more than welcome to become a Dane and take part in the work and community,” Støjberg wrote. “But to those Muslims who constantly work against us, constantly question us, are unsatisfied, commit honour killings, belittle our values, flag or way of living - to all of you: Go and find somewhere else to live. No one is forcing you to stay. We accepted you and now it’s up to you to show the necessary respect for our society and the values it is built upon.”

“We should never arrive at a situation where we, through a misguided attempt at tolerance, accept actions, values or world views simply because the people who hold the views are a minority,”

Can she come to America? We need a politician with the guts to speak the truth about hostile colonists changing the US, and not for the better, and clearly we don't have one. Plus, she's easy on the eyes. 

The zombie reincarnation of Chris Farley presides over Zimmerman trial

You had to know the Zimmerman trial was going to be a sham of a mockery of a travesty of a sham when the zombie reincarnation of Chris Farley ended up presiding......

Begun, the railroading of George Zimmerman has

Begun, the railroading of George Zimmerman has, for defending himself against Obama's erstwhile son, "Saint Skittles". 

Because a murder-2 charge is out of the question on the grounds that it's preposterous, the prosecution is now demanding from the friendly judge that a lesser charge be considered. After all, Obama and Holder have pre-determined for political reasons that Zimmerman is a race criminal and nothing short of a conviction will be tolerated.

We already know that Obama/Holder don't care about justice. With taxpayer money, Holder funded pro-Trayvon demonstrations right after the incident and Obama aligned himself with the violent, drug-addled thug Martin when he said "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." Given that Trayvon was a constant pot smoker, that's probably not far from the truth. 

The GOP in one cartoon

This cartoon exemplifies like no other, the establishment GOP for me. The more guys like McCain, Boehner, Graham, Murkowsky, et. al. pander to the middle-left voters in order to cling to their elected offices, the more fed-up voters will turn away and seek representation with more conservative/libertarian candidates. If we did thin en-masse, the GOP would become overnight practically, once again the party of small, limited government, lower taxes, lower regulations, and open markets.

That guy at the far left stepping off the plank, that was me toward the end of the Bush administration. I now offer no allegiance to the GOP and will vote for which ever candidate is the most libertarian-like. If there is no candidate like that on the ballot whether it's local, state, or national, I'll likely withhold my vote entirely. And I don't think I'm alone.

Voting for a bad republican gets me to the same place as if I'd voted for the democrat, and I'll not willfully participate in my own enslavement to the State.

Thanks to Moonbattery for the pic.

Finally, something from Obama to applaud

I remain skeptical, but if he follows through then I can get behind this decision....

Increasingly frustrated by his dealings with President Hamid Karzai, President Obama is giving serious consideration to speeding up the withdrawal of United States forces from Afghanistan and to a “zero option” that would leave no American troops there after next year, according to American and European officials.

We aren't accomplishing anything in Afghanistan except wasting a ton of money and lives. That country is wholly incapable of self-management, at least in the democratic style we'd like. They're certainly unwilling to do anything about the terrorists who use that country as a hiding, training, and staging ground. And our being there doesn't necessarily guarantee security of their nukes. We aren't in control of that country. 

We should pull out completely, let Al Qaeda or the Taliban or whoever takes over, reform and in a year when they've organized and come out of their caves, decimate them with a couple of drone strikes. And do this periodically to keep them on the defense. 

Client #9 is back

This is Kristen M. Davis, the madam who provided Client #9 (Eliot Spitzer) with prostitutes for years while he was Governor of New York. She did time at Rikers Island for her crime, Spitzer paid no cost except resigning his office. Now they're both running for the office of NY Comptroller. She's a libertarian, a trained accountant and before she became a madam, was VP for a $5-billion hedge fund. Spitzer is a despicable, lying democrat and has no accounting training whatsoever. 

If you have a few discretionary dollars left over at the end of the month, I can think of far worse ways to blow it than helping Ms. Davis beat the crap out of Client #9.

The war in Afghanistan isn't really about terrorism

This is Errol D.A. Millard. He graduated from Carver HS here in B'ham in 2012. He'd already been accepted to college but wanted to serve his country before going to school. That means he was 18 years old when an RPG-attack in God-forsaken Afghanistan killed him. 

Just once, I'd like to hear a convincing argument for our government's claimed anti-terrorist misadventures that justifies American kids being killed in Afghanistan. 

Don't get me wrong. Military service is terrific, but why are we wasting the lives of our young service men and women in a pointless fight, in a worthless country, on behalf of Godless savages?

The answer is simple, I think for strictly business reasons, the military/industrial complex needs us to be at war with somebody on a more or less permanent basis. Otherwise for/to whom are the American defense contractors going to develop and sell their weaponry? The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that our continuous state of war is only about combating terrorism in so far as the charade serves to placate the fearful American people. It's really about the bought-and-paid-for political class financially propping up the commercial/industrial defense industry using the specter of terrorism as a pretext. 

We've(the US) been at war for so long, it's become a big business, both in government and commercially. Those "businessmen" aren't about to let the golden goose stop laying taxpayer-funded eggs for them. When Afghanistan is finally over, and there's no timeline-certain on that, there'll be another middle east country to invade and millions more insurgents to kill, maybe in Iran or Syria or Egypt.....only the generals and CEO's know already. And when billions in defense contracts are at steak, the life of Errol D.A. Millard is meaningless and well worth the sacrifice. 

Gigolo John Kerry confirms that he's an elitist snob

Let's say one of the world's political and military hot-spots, one of the US's largest recipients of foreign aid, the lynch pin nation for resisting extremist Islam, and perhaps the overall key to a stabilized middle east, is undergoing a military coup in which Muslim extremists are ousted from power, you'd think the US Secretary of State would be monitoring the situation from the state department, wouldn't you?

Well, not our Secretary of State. John Kerry was too busy tooling around Nantucket Sound on his multi-million dollar yacht that day to pay much attention.

It's reprehensible enough that Massachusetts routinely elects a man who made his fortune marrying rich widows so he can buy yachts with money earned by men far better than him, but to shirk your responsibilities  and go sailing instead of doing your job is unbelievable!

UPDATE: So I heard this morning the Kerry's wife Theresa is in critical condition and that her deteriorating health might be the reason he was in Nantucket during the coup in Egypt. If so, then I'll give him a pass on this one.

Ed Snowden receives a proposal from Anna Chapman

Anna Chapman, the smokin' hot Russian sleeper spy who got sent back to Russia to fame and fortune, proposed to Ed Snowden via Twitter. If he's got a single correctly firing synapse, he'll say "Da".

Obama between a coup and a hard place regarding Egypt

US federal law prohibits the continuation of foreign aid in the case of a military coup. Here's the pertinent phrase from the Foreign Assistance Act, 

“...restricts assistance to the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree.”

On Tuesday, a khaki-clad, beret sporting, Egyptian general seized Egyptian TV to announce that Mohammad Morsi was no longer President.......sounds like a coup to me. The question now is what contortions Obama will undergo in parsing the words of the F.A.A. in order to to continue to send hundreds of millions to Egypt?

Great Britain for the win!

Sure, we're celebrating our independence from Great Britain, but in the British Parliament, there is a micro-brew bar where the heavy metal band Iron Maiden's signature brew is sold to members of Parliament as they debate the issues of the nation. The stodgy old men in our Congress probably frown on that as they sneak swigs of booze from hip flasks.

Great Britain for the win! Sing with me.....

"Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves....."

The treachery of the Affordable Care Act starts to gather speed

By delaying the employer mandate to 2015 while leaving in place the individual mandate for 2014, Obama will have forced millions of Americans to seek government insurance who would otherwise have been covered by their employers' private policies during that year. This will dramatically shrink the policy holders of private insurance, forcing companies to raise rates on existing holders, still further forcing people onto Medicaid rolls.  

Putting private insurance companies out of business while forcing as many Americans onto Medicaid as possible.....exactly as they planned it all along, folks. 

The devious treachery of Obama is as boundless as the abject stupidity of the people who voted for him.

It's about to hit the fan in Egypt

If you are one of those people who think that Egypt's former President Mubarak was a horrible, brutal dictator and the Egypt is better off without him, you are an idiot. This is what has become of Egypt since Mubarak's departure.....

From Yahoo News -- Close to 100 women have fallen victim to "rampant" sexual attacks in Cairo's Tahrir Square during four days of protests against Egypt's Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday.

"Mobs sexually assaulted and in some cases raped at least 91 women in Tahrir Square... amid a climate of impunity."

Normal, evolved Arabs do not mob-rape women by the hundreds at random, but Sharia-compliant Muslim men do. Ever since Obama pulled the rug out from under Mubarak the way that moron Jimmy Carter did with the Shah in Iran, the respective countries have plunged into the dark abyss of 7th century Islam where anything can be done to any woman with total impunity.

These demonstrators aren't necessarily peace-loving democrats who just want a representative government and safety for the tourists. We don't know who they are or what they want except to be rid of Morsi. Perhaps their choice of leader would be worse. 

Obama and McCain align the US with Al-Qaeda radicals

Want to know the kind of savages our so-called leaders are aligning the US in Syria? The rebels in northern Syria kidnapped and then beheaded a Catholic priest, Francois Murad as scores of men and boys watched and recorded the event on cell phones. Here is a link to the horrific, gruesome video of the whole thing. Be warned, it is extremely graphic!

These are the Al-Qaeda linked rebels with whom McCain, Obama, and other RINO's want to associate the US. But as long as it's just Christians getting beheaded, it's alright. When a Muslim gets a whif of something he doesn't like the smell of and claims is Sarin gas, we must intervene on his behalf.

Our foreign policy is idiotic. There are no good guys or petroleum assets to speak of in Syria so we have no business there.

American media willingly duped by Palestinian propaganda

Whenever there is active conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, our Jew-hating media gleefully treat us to heart-wrenching images of injured or dead Palestinian children. Many have been shown to be fakes, created specifically for consumption by gullible western media liberals. What our "responsible" media don't tell you is that Hamas and Hezbollah put those kids there specifically to get injured or as shields, knowing that Israel tries mightily NOT to harm civilians.

Here are actual Palestinian children training to be terrorists....

Don't be fooled by the propaganda fed to you by our despicable mainstream media. They hate Israel every bit as much as the Palestinians do and are only too happy to exploit your sympathies with phony images of hurt kids.

H/T to Plancksconstant for the images.

Noted liberal Anderson Cooper goes off the reservation and criticizes another liberal

Alec Baldwin had another profanity-laced meltdown during which he used various gay slurs against his perceived transgressor. Noted gay journalist Anderson Cooper rightly wondered this on Twitter.....

"Why does Alec Baldwin get a pass when he uses gay slurs? If a conservative talked of beating up a 'queen' they would be vilified".

It's simple Anderson and you know the answer as well as everybody else....it's because he's a liberal.

Liberals can say or do almost anything and nobody cares because liberals never, NEVER question each other. The advance of liberalism supersedes every other minority-group agenda, so when one liberal exposes himself as a racist, homophobe, misogynist, criminal, addict, pedophile, rapist, etc., other liberals shrug and look the other way because liberals never criticize other liberals for any reason. It's a rule.
