The Media Serves Up Old Leftovers

In addition to frantically spinning the photo of Obama leering at an underage girl’s buttocks, I notice the media has reached into the back of the story refrigerator to unwrap another “Bush spied on people” story, stick it into the microwave and hit the REHEAT button. Although loudly hyped by the AP, the story reveals almost nothing we didn’t already know; it’s just a new commentary on an old story.  And it comes just as Obama’s support among independents is declining, so the media in their role as propagandists to the Little Bronze god, see fit to remind the independents why they turned on Bush. They have nothing else in their arsenal, certainly no success stories from Obama’s policies.

Obama’s Chief Science Advisor Makes Dr. Strangelove Look Like Dr. Phil

Post by Gregory of Yardale

You know how the leftist dimwits repeat the chant about Obama “returning science to its proper place?” Well, apparently, that includes appointing a ‘Science Czar’ who believes in involuntary abortions, forced sterilization, and population control over ‘undesirables.’. (Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin)

This nutjob wanted to put sterilization chemicals in the drinking water. And he’s not just shouting from the kook fringe, he is the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

The left can rant about how ‘crazy’ the Intelligent Design crowd is all day  long, but talk about forced abortions and putting sterilization chemicals in the drinking water seems a lot scarier to me than talking about how Jesus created the dinosaurs.

The Obamas have been poisoning women and children with lead tainted vegetables from their garden. And they claim Dick Cheney was evil.

Joyce DeWitt got busted for a DUI this week. So, anyone who said she couldn’t get arrested after 3’s Company was canceled is proven wrong.

Also, from the land of fruit and nuts, California’s legislators postponed dealing with the state’s $29 Billion deficit to debate three bills: “Assembly bill 606 creates a commission to serve the marketing interests of the blueberry industry. Another bill defines “honey” to mean the natural food product resulting from the harvest of nectar by honey bees, and a third bill adopts regulations establishing definitions and standards for 100-percent pomegranate juice.” Nice to know the Assembly has its priorities in order.

What marriage means to a socialist: “I’ll never forget asking one group what they thought of marriage in a country (Sweden) where most educated young people don’t get married or bear children until they are well over 30. A young woman gave me a thoughtful answer and so I asked her, “What are you looking for in a husband?” Without batting an eye or pausing for thought, she answered: “Three things. One, he must be good in bed. Two, he must be a good father. Three, when we divorce, he mustn’t be bitter.” No wonder gay marriage is no big deal to the left.

Benedict Arlen Specter calls his Democrat primary opponent a phony Democrat. Arlen claims he’s the real deal, and his opponent didn’t register as a Democrat until 2006… while Arlen’s been a secret Democrat for decades. If Arlen had ever heard of the internet, he’d know this is the equivalent of screaming “NOOB!”

LA Times blogger hopes non-supporters of Obama “will die before the next election. Maybe this is what Obama’s whole, “we’ll pull the plug on you to save money” things is about.

Point of curiosity. Did you know a majority of pedophiles arrested by the police are also hardcore Star Trek fans? Let’s consider the world of Star Trek for a moment; no money, no Christianity, no private corporations, the government just hands out things, no one has to work, silly outfits, free-flowing sexual attitudes … it’s the leftist version of utopia.

Just sayin’….

The PC Racism of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

When I have argued with pro-abortion friends and acquaintances, almost invariably, someone will say “I support abortion, otherwise we would be outbred by the undesirables” or sometimes, they will be more to the point and say “blacks” instead of undesirables, knowing that blacks have a hugely disproportionate number of abortions. But even I was surprised to hear it coming from a Supreme Court Justice.

Ginsburg: 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.

This from a woman who never hired a black employee while practicing law in a majority minority city, who must know that blacks have a disproportionate number of abortions.

Imagine if Scalia or Roberts or Alito had said “We don’t want too many blacks.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks there's too many of you.

Palin-Beck 2012?

Post by Gregory of Yardale

I’m not convinced Sarah Palin is angling for the presidency, but I do have a rather radical take on why resigning might be a part of her strategy and might work despite the tsk-tsk of the chattering class.

Clearly, there is a substantial libertarian anti-socialist sentiment growing in the country. There’s a large and mostly disenfranchised bloc of voters who are fed up with the political establishment… numbers that are likely to grow as the Obamacrats push a very expensive agenda that restricts freedoms even more. (Needing permission from the government to sell your house being just one example from the Cap and Trade bill.)

Furthermore, people no longer believe the dickless Republicans are capable of mounting any kind of opposition to the Obamacrats; and are corrupt, elitist, and too concerned with their Argentine hoochie-mommas to be of much use anyway. The Republican Party is a bloated corpse of elitist ninnies that gave us Landslide McCain last time around.

Sarah’s resgination could signal that she’s planning an end-run around the party establishment. By resigning, she is freeing herself to voice opposition to the Obamunist agenda without facing ethics complaints from Democrat operatives like Linda Kellen Biegle. She doesn’t have to worry that if she pisses of the party panjandrums they won’t help her in the next election.

The tea parties and the popularity of libertarian figures like Glenn Beck and Mark Levin show how angry people are with the current government. Sarah Palin may provide a figure for anyone whose opposed to the status quo to rally around. She can reject the establishment and go directly to the people.

I don’t think it’s likely this is where she’s going, but it’s an interesting thought, at least to me.

Not a lady you would want to f--- with.

Congress Fears the Public Will Become Too Educated on ObamaCare

From Patterico, a curious admission.

Congressional Republicans and other opponents of Obama’s health care agenda are sure to use next month’s recess to sow doubts about the legislation, particularly the cost of reform and the so-called public option for health insurance.

…

“The longer something’s laying out there, it’s a target,” said one downtown operative monitoring the health care debate.

Whoa! So Democrats are admitting they want to rush the legislation through because if we the people actually have a chance to read it, study it, and analyze it… we’re going to oppose it.

The more the public knows about ObamaCare, the less they will support passing it. So, Democrats are trying to sneak it in under the wire.

Does this not tell you something?

The battle over government health care: how bad and how much?

Also, a quite good post on health care rationing actually works. Basically, the government won’t pay for drugs that work because they cost too much, so you suffer and die.

Also, the Democrat Majority Leader in the house laughs at the notion that representatives should read the bills they are voting on.

Chairman Zero on the Couch

Post by Gregory of Yardale

Some douchebag MSM reporter (Todd or Tim Purdum or something) wrote a hit-piece on Sarah Palin for Vanity Fair in which he alleges that “several” (unnamed of course) sources told him they looked up “Nacissistic Personality Disorder.” and accused Sarah P of having it. I thought there was someone else on the national political stage who better fit the clinical description of this disorder, but I looked it up first just to be sure.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.” Narcissistic personality disorder is closely linked to self-centeredness. It is also colloquially referred to as “the God complex.” It is indicated by five (or more) of the following criteria:

1. A grandiose sense of self-importance

Like, maybe accepts his nomination on a Greek Temple set in a stadium in front of 80,000 people?

2. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love (megalomania)

Like he thinks he is going to CHANGE the world by force of personality alone?

3. Belief that he or she is “special” and can only be understood by, or should associate with, people (or institutions) who are also “special” or of high status.

Like he compares himself to FDR and Lincoln? Or is perfectly comfortable in the presence of thug despots like Chavez and the Mullahs?

4. Requires excessive admiration

Like maybe he forms a cult around him? Like he stacks his “town hall” meetings with pre-screened sycophants who will only ask approved questions.

5. Has a sense of entitlement

Like maybe he thinks laws don’t apply to him? Like he can fire inspectors general and break legal contracts at will? Like maybe he keeps the White House warm enough to grow orchids while lecturing others on the need to reduce energy consumption?

6. Is interpersonally exploitative

Like, he’d throw his own grandmother under a bus to advance his political career?

7. Lacks empathy

Like maybe dining on Wegyu steaks, taking expensive weekend trips to New York and vacations on Martha’s vineyard while nearly 7,000,000 people are out of work? Like going out for ice cream while people are being clubbed to death in Tehran? Like voting to leave babies to die after botched abortions?

8. Envies others or believes others are envious of him or her.

Like his entire political philosophy is based on envy of people who are perceived to have more than other people?

9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

“I won.”

Pretty much any politician, anyone who seeks public office, anyone who seeks to control other people has some sort of ego disorder. But Sarah Palin’s ego is a bonsai tree compared to the mighty Sequoia that is Obama’s.

Can Robert Smith save us from Obama's Ego?

Sarah Palin and the Rottenness of the Political Class

Post by Gregory of Yardale

National politics is no place for good and decent people. Whenever somebody good and decent gets into politics, all of the people who are neither good nor decent set out to destroy her.

When you strip away the agendized rhetoric from the chattering classes, her explanation for resigning makes perfect sense. Even though she could have governed with the constant frivolous ethics complaints filed by jealous hags like Linda Kellen Biegle — the Debbie Frisch of Alaska politics — the constant distraction was keeping her from doing the best job she could. And half a million dollars in legal bills is a big deal for someone of Sarah’s modest means.

Second, there’s the matter of her family, which also accounts for a lot of it. It’s one thing when left-wing cockholsters like David Letterman are insulting her, but the cockholster went on national television and said her daughters were whores. People His audience of trained leftist seals laughed, and most of the media defended him and said she was being a drama queen for saying it was wrong for him to call her daughters whores.

Also, left-wing bloggers and Democrats were out making crude photoshops of her innocent baby son. They were also calling her older son a fag, a drug user, and said that he joined the Army to avoid jail. What good mother would put her kids through that.

We live in a very sick, depraved era. Even a few years ago, attacking a politician’s kids was beyond the pale. Now, it’s just part of the system. It’s a very sad commentary on how low we’ve gotten. I can’t blame her for pulling her kids out of that.

What is wrong with our political system that it drives good people away, but allows sewer trout like Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, and John Murtha to thrive? To hell with all of them. Both of our parties and our entire political structure are rotten to the core. And I don’t think there’s anyone out there who can fix it.

I’ll agree, if her ambitions are for higher office, quitting before the end of her term is not a wise move.  But I don’t know what her real intentions are, and I don’t think anyone does. I wish Sarah well. I hope she lives long and prospers. If she chooses to serve in government again, I think Energy Secretary under President Romney would be a good place for her; she could restore domestic energy exploration, ramp up nuclear power, and provide a worthy legacy.

A woman with better things to do than put up with leftist bullshit.

How the Gay Left Helps Mitt Romney

Post by Gregory of Yardale

With Sarah Palin out, Mark Sanford becoming the star of a tacky Telenovela (El Gubernador y la Skank), and Tim Pawlenty becoming known as the RINO from the nutball state that elected Jesse Ventura and Al Franken, pundits are suggesting Mitt Romney is beginning to look like the last man standing for the 2012 Republican Nom; primarily on the basis that he seems to be the only Republican left who can keep his nads in his pants. (Meghan McCain may not like it, but that sort of thing still matters to Republican primary voters.)

The pundit class also argue that Romney’s big handicap is the bigotry of conservative evangelical voters against Mormons. That cannot be discounted, it was what motivated and propelled Mike Huckabee’s minions. But next time around, Southern evangelicals may be more accepting of the Mormon thing because of the role of Mormons in passing Prop 8 and the vicious anti-Mormon attacks from the Gay Left and the media that followed.

Two cliches apply here: Politics makes strange bedfellows and nothing unites like a common enemy. The Gay Left eagerly took the bloody hands of the Islamo-Fascists in common cause against George W. Bush and the “Christian Right.” The backlash against Prop 8 may be enough to unite some of the evangelical right with the Mormons, or at least make them get past their visceral disdain.

IMHO, Romney’s real handicap is that he comes across like a big phony. I’m not saying that he is, but his shifting positions on abortion and amnesty most definitely have the appearance of opportunism.

Are Buckeyes as stupid as Gophers? We should find out soon. Alec Baldwin is considering a run for governor of Ohio. As Jonah Goldberg has noted, “Alec Baldwin is too dumb to be a spell-checker at an M&M factory.” Considering the current Demonrat governor harbored a convicted pedophile on his staff, Alec Baldwin might actually be a step up.

The ACORN Census is already underway in Detroit, where the city’s population count has been adjusted upward by 81,000 imaginary residents. This will make it easier for ACORN to turn those imaginary residents into imaginary voters.

Speaking of community organizers, M’Chel Obama enjoys the rare privilege of Sunday shopping in France. Stores are supposed to close on Sundays, but not for the consort of the Obamessiah. Suha Arafat used to get the same privilege. BTW: Does Michelle Obama have a penis? That bulge is bigger than Barney Frank’s.

France, by the way, is cutting taxes to encourage economic growth, which is possible because France is led by a free-market capitalist, not a neo-Marxist community organizer.

And now the latest money-making scheme from the left-wing press: The Washington Post is selling access to administration officials and reporters for $25,000 to $250,000. At one time, this sort of thing would be considered unethical, but under Obama-Pelosi-Reid, selling access to government officials is just more deep-dish Chicago Style government.

Also scummy, Michael Jackson’s scumbag father is charging admission to the Gloved One’s funeral.

And from the land of fruits and nuts, Moonbat gets burned walking into a fire at the ‘Burning Man’ festival, sues, loses. Note, he wasn’t burned incidentally, he walked into a freakin’ bonfire! Maybe he should have just poured McDonald’s coffee on himself and sued for that. Those lawsuits usually turn out better for the dimwit plaintiff.
