 MAYBE WE'LL NEED A CABINET LEVEL DEPARTMENT FOR THIS
 For what? For determining what other countries believe is fine and what is not fine before the we in the United States make any lifestyle changes or other weighty decisions.
Before that huge crowd in Portland, Oregon this past weekend The Messiah told the believers that "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK." Hold on, Obama? What am I missing here? On what particular calendar day did it suddenly become necessary for me to seek the approval of any Euro-weenie nation before I decided what car I was going to drive? And to what international body do I apply for permission to eat? Also ... is there some Internet site I need to visit to determine where I set my home thermostat on any given day? Look, this is just too complicated for me. I just can't be expected to find my way through the maze of international relations for help in deciding what car to buy, what to have for lunch, and how cold I can have my home on a hot summer day. I'm sorry, Mr. Obama, but you're just going to have to help out dumb Americans like me. We'll need some huge government agency – perhaps even a cabinet-level department – to poll the nations of the world on a continuing basis in order to set the parameters for what we, as Americans, can and can do with our own money and our own lives inside our own homes. You know, it used to be that we pretty much accepted the idea that we could do anything we want in our private lives, as long as we weren't violating someone else's right to life, liberty or property. What a wonderful new world President Obama is going to usher in for us. America – Americans – seeking permission for basically everything we do. Don't want the world pissed off at us now, do we? LEAVE MY WIFE ALONE Awww .. what's the matter, Barack? Are things getting a bit warm out there? Barack was complaining yesterday that Republicans are bringing up his wife, Michelle, in their campaign commercials. He says that this is "unacceptable." First of all .. Obama seems to spend a lot of time telling the rest of us what is acceptable and what isn't. It sounds like this guy really likes the idea of wielding power. Imagine a country where behavior is limited not on the basis of whether or not the violation of individual rights might occur, but based on whether of not the behavior is "acceptable." And who, by the way, gets to determine acceptability? Look: It was Michelle Obama who made the amazing utterance that "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country." She never found anything to be proud of in America until her husband became the front-runner for the Democrat nomination. Well, you know what? I find her attitude unacceptable. With al of the good this country has done for so many people around the world, she has not one moment of national pride until they coronate her husband? What about America's relief effort after the Indian Ocean tsunami? Nothing to be proud of there? What about or relief efforts in so many other parts of the world. How about spending $15 billion to fight HIV in Africa? No moment of pride there? If Obama wants his wife to be off limits in this campaign then he can tell her to stay the hell home and tend to the kids and leave the campaigning to him. If she speaks for his campaign, if she inserts herself into the campaign in any way, then she becomes a part of the Obama campaign and she is subject to scrutiny and comment. If she can't stand the campaign heat, she should get back into the kitchen. And as for Obama ... Has it ever occurred to you that there are legions of people in this country who don't give a flying burrito over what you find to be acceptable or not acceptable? KENTUCKY AND OREGON ... THE END FOR HILLARY? When are we going to get rid of her and move on to the real race: Barack Obama and John McCain. Today we have the primaries in Oregon and Kentucky and even if Hillary loses, will she wait for the June 3rd primaries to pull out? The answer is probably yes. After all, this was supposed to be Hillary's anointment --- the grand march to her inevitable coronation. This evening could be quite a show. Maybe Barack Obama will go ahead and declare "victory." Won't that get Hillary's thong in a wad. I would say that she is going to be missed on the campaign trail .. but then she's only been a part of this campaign in the vaguest sense for weeks anyway. TTFN, Hillary. Don't let the door knob hit ya. SPEAKING OF HILLARY How is it that we haven't linked to Red State Update yet? In this episode, hear what they have to say about Democrats and the Pennsylvania primary. Travis & Jonathan for President!
IRAN IS A 'TINY' THREAT?? According to Barack Obama, there is no need to worry about the "tiny" threat from countries like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. You see, we don't have to worry about them because they aren't as big of a threat as we faced during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Here's the quote, "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, `We're going to wipe you off the planet.'" That's interesting because I do recall Iran threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. I do recall Iran developing a nuclear program. I do recall Iran offering its nuclear expertise to other Muslim countries. I do recall Iran funding and training terrorists that are killing American troops in Iraq. Oh and by the way, this threat from Iran is all George Bush's fault, according to Barack Obama. Well guess what, it wasn't George Bush's fault when Muslim terrorists decided to attack our country in September 2001. Rather than "talk" and appease the enemy – radical Islam – George Bush stood up and defended the greatest country in the world with the greatest military. Yes, Barack Obama, Iran is a threat to the United States because it is engulfed in a religion of hate. It is ruled by a mad mullah who wants nothing more than to extinguish the Western way of life – all of those homosexuals they don't have over there, for example. Not recognizing your enemy is just as bad as not fighting it to begin with. John McCain has already called out Obama on this statement. He says that this statement shows the depth of Obama's inexperience and reckless judgment. Are you going to feel all that comfortable with Obama as our commander in chief? Sorry .. not me. NORTH KOREA IS MAKING IT OFFICIAL The Gargoyle seems to be ready to make it official and declare his nuclear program ... wow, I had no idea. Nobody saw this one coming. I mean, even after testing a nuclear weapon, I thought that all of the verbal and written outrage would have stopped North Korea by now. But U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill says that the declaration is coming within days or weeks. Then we are, apparently, going to "quicken the pace" in coming weeks to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear program. Yeah, that's going to work really well. Kim Jong-Il simply doesn't care. He knows we're not going to do anything. HURRICANES CAUSED BY GLOBAL WARMING  When Hurricane Katrina hit back in 2005, the global warmers went nuts. Now we are getting reports from top federal scientists that global warming isn't to blame for increased hurricane activity.
Tom Knutson is a research meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Although Tom Knutson seems to be an OwlGore believer, he says that a new study based on a computer models says that hurricane activity is not linked to global warming. Not only that, but warmer temperatures are supposed to reduce the number of hurricanes that make landfall. TYPICAL GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS If you are in an accident in southwestern Kentucky, there's no point in calling your local emergency workers for help. They won't be answering calls. In fact, they voted unanimously to stop answering calls starting midnight this Wednesday because the city refused to give them $89,000 for a new truck. The Fulton County-City of Hickman Rescue Squad has asked the county taxpayers to fork over $89,000 to buy a truck. The Fulton County Judge Executive says that this is something they simply can't afford. So the court offered $10,000 toward the cost of the truck but the 13 members of the independent volunteer squad weren't happy with that. So they decided that rather than coming up with a more reasonable solution, they would rather quit. READING ASSIGNMENTS  Hillary's former campaign manager and confidante, Patti Solis Doyle, is considering a job with the Obama campaign for the general election. Looks like she knows which side of the fence her bread is buttered on. A recent Rasmussen poll shows that 49% of voters believe we will win the War in Iraq (it should be the war against Islamofascism) if McCain is elected, verses only 20% believe we can win if Obama is elected. If Americans truly love winners then this should be worrisome to Obama. President Bush remains opposed to any homeowner rescue legislation that would be a bailout for lenders. How about legislation that would be a bailout to irresponsible borrowers? The Supreme Court upheld criminal penalties for promoting child porn. The Justices did not seem concerned with the law being applied to mainstream movies or classic literature. It has now been confirmed that the French foreign minister held informal talks with Hamas. There is a county in Oregon where the people have declared it to be a "U.N.-free zone." Is Obama French? The world according to the ACLU ... the truth is awfully inconvenient. Yet another year goes by and the Boortz guy wasn't invited to give any graduation speeches. Darn. But at least someone was out there giving some good advice. A Marriott in Brazil offers arrows and compasses showing the direction of Mecca, copies of the Koran, teas and the removal of alcoholic beverages and images from the room ... all to attract Muslim customers. New York City taxpayers spent $1 billion for elevators and escalators in Subway stations ... only to spend $25 million each year on maintenance and repair because they never work. When "underprivileged students" in Florida were given the freedom of school choice, guess what happened? People actually liked it and convinced their Democrat politicians to like it too. When people get fatter, just remember that it is always the government's fault for not telling us what to eat. Some government schools are changing grading scales so the lowest grade a student could receive would be a 50, instead of a zero. Government schools are doing this to try and encourage failing students. In an attempt to get children to eat more fruit, a handful of schools in Connecticut are offering Fizzy Fruit, which is carbonated fruit made to taste like soda. Imagine if your son got drunk, stole your truck, and went to find some girl he met at the rodeo ... at the age of 12. If your child as young as seven-years-old is thinking about a sex change, there's a doctor in Boston who is willing to help. Hamas officials have decided to block pornography websites access in the Gaza Strip. This isn't going to go over well. Remember, please, that around the world Muslims are the all-time champs at accessing porn on the web. German psychologists are warning that "professional smilers" can be affected by stress, depression and even heart problems. Apparently this won't be too big a problem in Germany. |
