Please, correct me if I'm wrong (consider that a general invitation, C2ers), but didn't Obama suggest in a speech that people's fears about these things were not grounded in reality? I heard it on Rush Limbaugh - and I figured Allah and Ed would be on it. Sure enough. (I'll bet I owe someone here a hat tip, too - just haven't read all the posts this morning...so if I do, someone please bonk me on the head and I'll add it.)

Issue Number Two:
Michael Medved just played an excellent example of hysterical, hyperbolic leftist-think. Watch this, please. It's Bette Midler and Joy Behar, talking about Glenn Beck. Watch the imaginary lines they draw between Beck and murderous thugs. Love Beck or hate him, is it really necessary to go this crazy with the comparisons? He's a talk show host, ladies. A talk show host. He has access to exactly as much power as...Joy Behar. It's just that more people like him than like her.
UPDATE: C2er redstateredneck points us to a very, ummm..."red" story this afternoon:
Isn't that just special?
And this man - what's his problem? I mean, he doesn't like the idea, and even more damning, he's from Montana:
"I think it's a bad idea," said Dick Paasch, 69, from Billings, Montana. "The Chinese Revolution ... in the years 1958-1960, there were something like 26 million people starved to death. Why would we want to celebrate something like that?
Bitter. Clinger. And a cowboy. Don't forget cowboy.

Gore Vidal bloviates....
ReplyDeleteNow, he reveals, he regrets his change of heart. How’s Obama doing? “Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism.” America should leave Afghanistan, he says. “We’ve failed in every other aspect of our effort of conquering the Middle East or whatever you want to call it.” The “War on Terror” was “made up”, Vidal says. “The whole thing was PR, just like ‘weapons of mass destruction’. It has wrecked the airline business, which my father founded in the 1930s. He’d be cutting his wrists. Now when you fly you’re both scared to death and bored to death, a most disagreeable combination.”
[]
Another notable Obama mis-step has been on healthcare reform. “He f***ed it up. I don’t know how because the country wanted it. We’ll never see it happen.” As for his wider vision: “Maybe he doesn’t have one, not to imply he is a fraud. He loves quoting Lincoln and there’s a great Lincoln quote from a letter he wrote to one of his generals in the South after the Civil War. ‘I am President of the United States. I have full overall power and never forget it, because I will exercise it’. That’s what Obama needs — a bit of Lincoln’s chill.” Has he met Obama? “No,” he says quietly, “I’ve had my time with presidents.” Vidal raises his fingers to signify a gun and mutters: “Bang bang.” He is referring to the possibility of Obama being assassinated. “Just a mysterious lone gunman lurking in the shadows of the capital,” he says in a wry, dreamy way.
[]
Vidal became a supportive correspondent of Timothy McVeigh, who blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 killing 168 people. The huge loss of life, indeed McVeigh’s act of mass murder, goes unmentioned by Vidal. “He was a true patriot, a Constitution man,” Vidal claims.
Oh, there you are Mr. Vidal, you forgot to take your meds.

Spokane, WA. Prop 4 Community Bill of Rights.
ReplyDelete* Residents have the right to a locally-based economy,
* Residents have the right to affordable preventative health care,
* Residents have the right to affordable and safe housing,
* Residents have the right to affordable and renewable energy,
* The natural environment has the right to exist and flourish,
* Residents have the right to determine the future of their neighborhoods,
* Workers have the right to be paid the prevailing wage, and the right to work as apprentices, on certain construction projects,
* Workers have the right to employer neutrality when unionizing, and the right to constitutional protections within the workplace.
*GAH*
Rights are intrinsic, not extrinsic. An individual has a right access, to obtain those things. They don't have a right to them.
Nature has rights? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Sounds like Obama's Sci. Czar, trees should have standing in court to sue.
I added a vid in the thread you guys. Michael Medved just played it.
ReplyDeleteI am pounding my head against the wall with these people. I am not particularly fond of Glenn Beck's style - I find it a bit hyperbolic now and then - but how is this sort of hyperbolic speech any better than his?
They point the finger and ignore the fingers pointing back at them, and hundreds of thousands of housewives nod in approval. Are they any better than Beck in this regard? I don't think so.
Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong. Please. Level playing field here, that's how Bare and I want it, and I'm sure the whole staff wants it that way too.
Rwanda? Get a grip, Bette.

Iranian FM in Washington to visit Pakistan embassy: US
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON — Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki made a rare stop in Washington on Wednesday to visit Iran's interests section at the Pakistani embassy, a US official said.
Mottaki's visit, which was authorized by Washington, is highly unusual as the two countries have not held diplomatic ties for three decades and comes amid efforts by President Barack Obama's administration to engage with Iran.
"I wouldn't read too much into this. It was a straightforward request, and we granted it," Crowley said.
I smell a rat.

ReplyDeleteThe Policy Note points out:
The Community Bill of Rights will expand government entitlement programs, not individual rights,
Taxpayers could be on the hook to pay for proposed programs that have no funding mechanism in place,
The broad policy agenda is not affordable under the city's current budget,
The measure will likely face scrutiny in courts under the state's "single subject law."
Mere details.
redstate, you don't find Glenn Beck "terrifying"? LOL
ReplyDeleteDo these people ever listen to themselves? If Beck is over-the-top, they are just as over-the-top, if not more. It's crazy.
While I wouldn't call myself a fan, really, I do appreciate Beck's willingness to address things no one else in the media is interested in touching - his programs can be very informative, and particularly lately, they have been.
I wonder if either of these women ever sat through one. It's like with Limbaugh - whenever I hear people going on about what a monster he is, I am convinced they've never listened to him.
(By the way, I personally know a black man who is a very good friend of Rush's. The charge that Rush is a racist is very unfair, imo. I've been seeing the left pushing that one.)
If Rush were a racist, I doubt very seriously if Dr. Walter Williams would guest host his program, nor would Dr. Thomas Sowell be a guest caller.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm quite sure that neither Joy nor Bette have watched or heard more than a snippet of either Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh, yet they know all about them.
The left is going after Beck like they went after Palin (OK, that's impossible, but work with me here).
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show, most nights I don't get home until 6 anyway, but the more they spew at him, the closer he must be.
That whole frog thing was just weird, but I get his point a lot of the time. Scaling it back wouldn't make the show what it is,IMO. The stuff like the Great Plastic Frog Incident at least gets people to listen to some of the good points he has.
C2, Beck is doing what no one else in the MSM will: he's revealing the layers of 0bama's administration, identifying the key players, explaining connections, and making people aware. His shtick the way he's chosen to draw people in and if it gets more people aware and involved in the daily affairs of government, then MORE POWER TO HIM.
ReplyDeleteI posted a link yesterday .....his viewership is up 136% ....?? How bad can he be. :-)
The left is terrified of him, and with good reason.
CC,
ReplyDeleteJames Golden, aka Bo Snerdly, left Rush show and tried his own show for awhile the return.
He's certified black enough to criticize Obama....
Beck is on in the mornings in Seattle, and I listen to the local guy, Kirby Wilbur.
Exactly, Squatch! He needs eyes and he's getting them. If it takes a goofy frog demonstration, use it. Apathy at government is what the left counts on; Beck knows this and has applied a remedy. It's a powerful start. Again, I say more power to the man. I don't care if he's conservative or libertarian or whatever ....he's GETTING PEOPLE INTERESTED. That's the key.

ReplyDeleteWhile going to the UW (Seattle) I was riding the bus behind two young women, since the bus route started on campus I assume they were students.
Another bus goes by with a big Rush ad. One girl asks the other, "Who is Rush?"
The second replies, "Oh, that right wing hate guy."
The first says, "oh, I hate him."

ReplyDeleteI listen to Kirby too, if I'm up that early.
And yes, redstate/JCM, there are enough black people in Rush's circle that I would say that charge is completely unfair...but it's sure a popular one. They use it a lot.

__________________________________________________________
This is purely my guess, but I think Obama is trying to develop a way to get out of Afghanistan without nasty repercussions at home. I doubt he gives a flip about Afghans and only cares about the Taliban as far as their support of Al Qaeda might lead to another attack here before he's out of office.
Gee.... was that too cynical? ;-)

Pink...I've listened to Beck a half-dozen or so times in the morning. He hits a lot of nails on the head but tends to drift-of into goo-goo land on a whole bunch of issues.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I think Beck is so hated is because on at lot of these issues, people see the same info and come to very similar conclusions as Beck and it frankly scares them. Rightfully so.
There are a lot of dangerous people out there, right & left. Likely as not the lefties fear Beck because one of theirs will get caught with the smoking-gun. Pelosi statement came from what she'd seen in the 60's and 70's - the I wanna be a Che years.
Apologies because I know I'm not being clear -under the weather- but Beck & Rush are focal points of a real grassroots activism which, I don't think, was part of their(Obama & Co's) equation.

Lucius - such a good memory. That's exactly right. How about Romper Room? I was too mature to watch that at the ripe old age of 9. It was a "baby" program.
ReplyDeleteThat magic mirror schtick, "And I see Lucius, and Ufo and . , ."
Why is Mickeral Moore on TV all the time now?
ReplyDeleteHe's selling that creep show of his, by way of, well, hmmmmm,ummmm, Capitalism, I suppose...
But he hates every minute of it.

ReplyDeleteOh man, I remember that show.
Hey, Cal! what's up, bud.
ReplyDeleteI have some info on your shirt.
Cheap shipping. I forgot to bookmark the shirt link, though.
Do you happen to have it ?
(This one's on me BTW,your euros are no good here,if you'll allow it)
I watched some of Romper Room, although my sister was more into it -- when the teacher changed she was alienated.
ReplyDeleteI was actually on Bozo's circus once. My cousin got to play "the grand prize game." And after we got home we all had come down with the mumps.
Ah, the sixties ....
Ok, so I'm about an hour and eight minutes late -- I've had a rough day....

The Reagan t-shirt I would love to wear is at this link. Paypal is an alternative to exchange the unwanted euros. ;-)
You are one hell of a friend, in areally good way.
Thanks a million!
What will Arnold do?
ReplyDeleteJorline - when the pub opens, can I buy you a drunk, I mean drink? Or both if you prefer.
ReplyDeleteCallahan,
ReplyDeleteAnd much of the profits from his movie will he donate to the IRS?
Ufo Tofu....
ReplyDeleteIs Ahnold anti-gun? I can't imagine.
Good evening good people.
Did anyone see or hear about the Whoopi Goldberg rant about Polanski? Apparently from her perspective drugging and sodomizing a thirteen-year-old isn't "rape-rape." It's something else.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how all the Hollywood types who signed the petition on his behalf would feel if it were an ordinary citizen who committed the outrage? Oh, I know -- ordinary citizens are less valuable than Roman Polanski.
Michael Mooron does not seem to have missed any meals on account of the horrors of Capitalism.

West goes to Iran talks _ and readies sanctions,
ReplyDeleteEven as they prepared for Thursday's talks, the U.S. and its allies were contemplating new and tighter sanctions on Tehran,
Russia warns against hasty actions on Iran
Russia's top diplomat at the upcoming Geneva negotiations of the 'P5+1' group with Iran has warned against using Tehran's recent missile tests as a pretext for imposing further sanctions.
[]
"When and whether sanctions against Iran will become inevitable is a completely separate issue, one that we are yet to address,” The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying by Interfax News Agency.
The ChiComs have already signaled they are opposed to sanctions.
Any sanctions are dead in the water before they start.
But, hey, the Chicago Olympics are in the bag, worth the Obama's flying separate planes to bring that home.

That is great LOLs. It is actually an advertisement that was mainly shown in movie theaters.
Thanks a lot. "What are you sinking about?"

The last t-shirt I bought in the US was a 100% cotton and small, up until now it refused to shrink.
But then to think of it, please make it an M size.
