“Falsehood: A truth to which the facts are loosley adjusted to an imperfect conformity.”

Ambrose Bierce – The Devil’s Dictionary

Listen pal, the Peter Principal is nothing more than a right wing conspiracy! 

 Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R., Mich.) is pushing back on Obama counter-terror chief John Brennan’s claim that he briefed the House Intelligence Committee’s ranking Republican on the legal status of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

Brennan told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Hoekstra and other top Congressional Republicans were told on Christmas Day that the Detroit bomber was in FBI custody, and should have known that he would therefore be read his rights according to Miranda.

But Hoekstra told National Review Online that it would have been unreasonable to infer any such thing from his phone call with Brennan, which was brief and carried over an unsecured line.

“He never brought this stuff up,” Hoekstra told National Review Online, saying the FBI was the natural choice to hold Abdulmutallab until a detainment and interrogation strategy could be settled. “No, I wouldn’t expect the military to be at Detroit Airport waiting to arrest somebody,” Hoekstra added, but said he’d expected the administration to carefully investigate alternatives and consult with national security principals before moving forward with Miranda rights and other criminal procedure. http://www.nationalreview.com/onthenews/?q=ZjFjNTAxYzE0YzMzMmE1NjA3MzhmMjlkMzgxNTlhNWE=

Brennan has evidently become infected with the Obama administration’s favorite past time; telling lies. To anyone familiar with intel and military bureaucracy, Brennan a former Deputy Director in the CIA, could not have risen to the top without being  able to lie and place blame for his mistakes on others. We might call Brennan as well as Obama himself , members of  the cult of the “Peter Principal” where those who move to the top of the power pyramid have reached their highest level of incompetence. 

 So here we have Brennan inferring that Rep. Hoekstra ’should have known” that the crotchless one was going to be read his rights. Now I know the Agency has been experimenting with “mental telepathy” for years in an under publicised program at Duke University. But to my knowledge, though I could be wrong, the program has not been successful.  Regardless, given this administration’s habit of lying and misstating facts, we can expect more of the same as they try to cover their tracks on this and every other intel screw up that they have participated in.  Just my opinion.

“There is nothing wrong with change if it’s in the right direction.”

Winston Churchill

I guess they ain’t buying us no more

Unfortunately the American people have been held hostage for too long by a corrupted two party system. The power elites  of both parties, the ones who gain the most from this corruption have fueled division among the people by categorization of the various homogeneous ethnic and racial groups as being seperate and different from each other;  that endeavor has been successful to date. But real change is finally here.

The democrats ever fearful of being uncovered as the entitlement frauds that they are, view the coming change with justifiable trepidation. They have, since the “tea baggers” made themselves known, done everything in their bag of tricks to discredit the movement, with complicit abandon by their partners in the socialist left wing of their party along with their allies in the so called “mainstream media.”

Republicans who once had the reputation for “conservative values” at one time, have also cautiously jumped on the band wagon to marginalize the Tea Party movement by attempting to absorb them into the republican mainstream.  However, those efforts do not seem to be successful. The movement is more educated and are veterans of the lies  of both parties;  turned off by the republican agenda of trying to out do the democrats in squandering our tax money as evidenced during the Bush administration.

Barack Obama’s radical progressive attempt to trash our economy and weaken the country through bureaucratization of the government, in order to effect government control over the population, is the straw that has finally broken the American public’s back.

The Tea Party movement is truly more representative of mainstream values than either party. Those Americans who have finally had enough, have found a new partner in effecting real change; for the people, by the people — but not as partners with either the republicans or democrats, as both parties now stand.  Just my opinion.

“When we abolish the slavery half of humanity, together with the system of hypocracy it implies, then the division of humanity will reveal it’s genuine significance and the human couple will find it’s true form.”

 Simone de Beauvoir

Help me

This past week there has been a flurry of “politically correct” opinion substantiating the right of Muslim women to wear the all in-shrouding burka. This in response to the announcement  that the French government  intention to ban the wearing of the burka in all public buildings and from being worn on the streets in France.

 On Wednesday that bastion of elite media liberalism, The LA Times, ran an article titled, “France’s Misguided Plan To Ban The Burka.” According to the article, “such a ban would undermine ban would undermine  fundamental religious liberty.” Only “progressive” liberals it would seem, can make a case for the subjugation of women; there has been no comment by the feminist movement. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-veil3-2010feb03,0,1087767.story

The burka is a quaint tradition proscribed by the Qu’ran that dictates that women’s bodies are dirty and unclean. Therefore they should be covered from head to foot in order to keep men from being tempted by their unclean bodies. You would have thought the author of that piece might have instead stressed the fact that the burka is nothing more than a control feature of “dirty and immoral” men over women in Islamic society. But still no peep from the feminists.

Those that argue that the burka is a sign of religious preference neglect to mention that fundamentalist Islamic culture brainwashes young girls that it is their lot to wear the garment and for those that rebel “honor killings” are the work of the day. The burka has nothing to do with religious freedom, it is a tool of slavery to enhance the subjugation of Muslim women.  Still no comment by the feminist movement.

In this case we might conclude that the silence of comment or action in support of outlawing this form of slavery, might be  support –  by omission, of this barbaric practice. That is the weakness of the feminist movement and the politically correct purist’s that control that movement. It is no wonder that the feminist movement has proved themselves hypocrites in protecting women from slavery. The cloth shackles of the burka will continue to suppress women as long as the feminist movement makes no move to lend their support in banning this barbaric religious affectation. I think we can safely conclude that perhaps les féministe mouvement c’est mort!  Just my opinion.

“The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things — war and hunger and date rape — liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It’s a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don’t have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.”

P.J. O’Rourke

Here sits the privileged elite

A few days ago, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, criticized Scott Brown for seeking to be sworn in as soon as possible to his senate seat. This move obviously in an effort to give the republicans another vote in case a filibuster was needed to thwart attempts by Harry Reid to rush through his health care agenda. Brown however did not let the “rich elite ” Kennedy brat get away with his partisan criticism:

Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., struck back at the son of his Senate predecessor today. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., had criticized Brown for seeking to be sworn in quickly so that he could take votes in the Senate instead of appointed, (not elected), Sen. Paul Kirk, D-Mass. Said Brown:

“I was elected and the votes are certified and I’m here to do my job. It’s unfortunate that he would use mean-spirited comments like that at a time when we’re just trying to solve the problems of the Commonwealth,” Brown said today on his first full day on the job.  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Brown-slaps-back-at-Paddy-K-83680522.html#ixzz0elWVuUBF

The simple minded might just dismiss Kennedy’s criticism as “sour grapes” over the elitist liberal democrat’s frustration at the loss, of his father’s senate seat to a republican interloper. . The simple fact is that the rich liberal elites, no longer guilty over their priliveged status, now feel they have a mandate to rule. I don’t think it a stretch to think that Patrick Kennedy will try to reclaim his father’s throne in he 2016 election. After all, he like his father, was born to rule. I say once again, where is Robespierre when you need him?  Just my opinion.

“Because if you lived, as I did, several years under Nazi totalitarianism, and then 20 years in communist totalitarianism, you would certainly realize how precious freedom is, and how easy it is to lose your freedom.”

Milos Foreman

Not only can we – but we will!

Unlike the silly elitist dilettantes, sitting in their comfortable habitats where commoners are banned, Foreman has direct knowledge of the follies of fascism and socialist communism. The elitists who back this current caricature of a President, are evidently so constipated with their personal opinions, sans experience, as to be susceptible to any kind of scam perpetrated on them.  Bernie Madoff’s scam is an indication of that. They  also, as an indicator of their ignorance, evidently have no clue, or don’t want to know who Barack Obama really is, especially when dealing with Islamic terrorists.

In an interview with 60 Minutes last spring, President Obama discussed the handling of captured terrorists and challenged those who claimed the “American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists.

Obama said: “I fundamentally disagree with that. Now — do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter — down the block? Of course not.” President Obama ought to call Attorney General Eric Holder.  

“In a five-page letter to Senator Mitch McConnell, Holder lays out in exhaustive detail exactly why these folks deserve Miranda rights and why his Justice Department will treat them like a shoplifter down the block. http://www.theweeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-vs-holder

This is more proof that Obama is a liar and that Holder is a jackass.  Holder did not act without consent from the Obama White House. Unless Obama is on drugs, he had to know and conversely authorize, his fellow traveler Eric Holder, to extend Miranda rights to these Islamic terrorist scum. This is just one more reason to kick his ass out of office the next chance we get.

As a side issue we should also hope that Harry Reid will be out of office and the “wicked witch of the west” Nancy Pelosi will no longer be Speaker of the House once the boy President is gone.  My fondest hope though , and I am not alone on this, is that  Eric Holder, when once gone, will be relegated along with the entire Obama administration, to the garbage dump of history.   Sound too harsh? Tough.  Just my opinion.

“He, (Obama), uses statistics like a drunk uses a lampost, for support rather than illumination.”

Andrew Lang

They really are stupid!

Once again we are being played for fools by the administration. Lets take a look at parts of the just released Department of Labor Report:

In January, the number of persons unemployed due to job loss decreased by
378,000 to 9.3 million. Nearly all of this decline occurred among permanent
job losers.  (See table A-11.)

About 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force in
January, an increase of 409,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not
seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted
and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior
12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched
for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table A-16.)

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Note these two numbers stated in the report :  The number of unemployed in January tended to trend up,(table A-12). …2.5 million were marginally attached’ to the work force, (See table A-16)….they were not counted because they had not searched for work.

We might look at these numbers in a different way. If a person comes down with tuberculosis, but does not seek medical help, then, using this statistical method, that person  cannot be counted in the statistics of those who have tuberculosis. A very simple analogy to a simple fact made complex by the Obama administration spin doctors….and this is just two misleading points of obfuscation in that report. 

If  you have nothing to do you might want to purvey the report – especially if you are one of those unemployed who have been marginalized as a result.  Just my opinion.

Clueless: “ Completely or hopelessly bewildered, unaware, ignorant or foolish….”

Merrium Webster Dictionary

Damn that Alinsky – he told me this would work

It has been evident for some time that Obama’s “crash and burn” approach to economics has been an abysmal failure. His borrowing money from the Chinese, his looting taxpayer money for alleged “entitlements,” has turned out to be one of the bigger scams of the century, Al Gore’s “climate control”  notwithstanding. Obama’s greatest weakness is his prothelizing of radical socialism ideology as a fix for everything wrong with the U.S.

 Unfortunately for Obama,  many of us, excluding the stooges on the far left, are not as stupid as he so arrogantly thinks.  Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer’s article which appeared on the Townhall.com website puts a direct spin on those failures:

“I am not an ideologue,” protested President Obama at a gathering with Republican House members last week. Perhaps, but he does have a tenacious commitment to a set of political convictions.

Compare his 2010 State of the Union to his first address to Congress a year earlier. The consistency is remarkable. In 2009, after passing a $787 billion (now $862 billion) stimulus package, the largest spending bill in galactic history, he unveiled a manifesto for fundamentally restructuring the commanding heights of American society — health care, education and energy.

A year later, after stunning Democratic setbacks in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts, Obama gave a stay-the-course State of the Union address (a) pledging not to walk away from health care reform, (b) seeking to turn college education increasingly into a federal entitlement, and (c) asking again for cap-and-trade energy legislation. Plus, of course, another stimulus package, this time renamed a “jobs bill.”

This being a democracy, don’t the Democrats see that clinging to this agenda will march them over a cliff? Don’t they understand Massachusetts?

Well, they understand it through a prism of two cherished axioms: (1) The people are stupid and (2) Republicans are bad. Result? The dim, led by the malicious, vote incorrectly.

Liberal expressions of disdain for the intelligence and emotional maturity of the electorate have been, post-Massachusetts, remarkably unguarded. New York Times columnist Charles Blow chided Obama for not understanding the necessity of speaking “in the plain words of plain folks,” because the people are “suspicious of complexity.” Counseled Blow: “The next time he gives a speech, someone should tap him on the ankle and say, ‘Mr. President, we’re down here.’”

A Time magazine blogger was even more blunt about the ankle-dwelling mob, explaining that we are “a nation of dodos” that is “too dumb to thrive.”

Obama joined the parade in the State of the Union address when, with supercilious modesty, he chided himself  “for not explaining it (health care) more clearly to the American people.” The subject, he noted, was “complex.” The subject, it might also be noted, was one to which the master of complexity had devoted 29 speeches. Perhaps he did not speak slowly enough. (To read full article follow the link.)http://townhall.com/columnists/CharlesKrauthammer/2010/02/05/the_great_peasant_revolt_of_2010

Bottom line; this Presidency is a failure.  Obama’s ‘I know what’s best for you’ socialist philosophy coupled with his arrogant elitist attitude, has only showcased not just his failures, but intensified the disdain for him expressed by a vast majority of Americans, including myself. However, unlike those on the left who wasted so much time and energy trumpeting their hate for George Bush, I am of the Mr. “T” school of thought; “I pity the fool.”  Just my opinion.

I swear, just a few more of your dollars will save the planet!  

Purportedly Al Gore left politics because he no longer had the stomach for asking others for donations. Kudos to you Al, and I mean that sincerely. Next to you, your infamous, racist father is a mere pygmy. Several years ago you shrewdly grew a beard, and while most of us laughed at you little did we know you were setting us up for the green kill with the Jeremiah Johnson look.   

It became hard for us, the stupid, to know you would be inseparable in peoples minds from the mountain man concerned with earths survival as the planet entered into the “Bar-B-Que Age”. Your psychology worked so well that even the klunkhead  socialists on the Nobel Prize committee rewarded you for dedicating your entire self to saving our brown planet.   

Thanks to you third world organizations like the United Nations have abandoned the need for scientific evidence to back up whatever assertions they decide to cling to; or should we say”clink” to as the sound of money dropping into the cash register drawer.

Now that you have become a billionaire through one of the greatest hoaxes perpetrated on  the great unwashed of the world, as you are propped up by the left leaning world media, academia, a majority of the bought and paid for  scientific community, politicians and yes  even the aforementioned Nobel Prize committee, you no longer need to ask people for money, they willingly shovel it at you.
   

Thanks to you Al I still have belief in the American Dream.  As anyone from Tennessee knows, “if I can make it there I can make it any where”.    As Bill is fond of saying….that’s just my opinion.

“Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you’ve set.”

Octavia Butler

Obama是人!

President Barack Obama is spending $2.1 million to help Suntech Power Holdings Co. build a solar- panel plant in Arizona. It will hire 70 Americans to assemble components made by Suntech’s 11,000 Chinese workers.

That gap shows the challenge Obama faces as he works to create “green” jobs. Asia makes more than half the world’s wind and solar energy equipment, and is gaining ground as U.S. factories lose out to cheaper labor and higher demand for clean energy. China for the first time topped the U.S. in wind-turbine manufacturing and installations last year, the Brussels-based Global Wind Energy Council said yesterday in a report.

Obama is giving billions of dollars in tax breaks to the wind and solar industries to create jobs in the U.S. even as production expands faster overseas. First Solar Inc., the world’s largest maker of thin-film solar-power modules, won $16.3 million to add 200 manufacturing jobs at its Ohio plant, yet 71 percent of its planned factory growth will go to Malaysia. The company employs 4,500 globally. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=adIdrmtTtyw8&pos=12

I think that the radical left, those who looked towards Obama as the answer to all their one world socialist fantasies, are secretly celebrating. Obama is a dream come true for the “Internationale” movement as fantasized by Karl Marx. I would think that maybe Obama’s intended agenda might in a Voltaire like fantasy, go like this: First, borrow as much money as possible from China to create a financial dependency on tn the Chinese government.  Two, fund the development of green eneregy jobs in China, using the money Obama borrowed from them. Three once their green energy industry is booming ship American workers to China who if they really want jobs, will gladly go to China – where all the jobs are. Voila!

 To wit: I am a fan of Voltaire, a man of vision who painted a harsh reality as fantasy. Obama like Candide views the world with an optimism based on his own misperception of the world. The only difference between Candide and Obama is I still haven’t found out who is Obama’s “Pangloss,” (Pangloss was Candide’s mentor.) Sound too deep or ridiculous? Read the book and form your own conclusion.  Hey….just my opinion.
