Obama appoints activist “inspired” by NAMBLA supporter to protect the nation’s children
“One of the people that’s always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America." - Kevin Jennings, Obama's 'Safe Schools Czar', in 1998
For a detailed look at the NAMBLA activities of the inspirational Harry Hays, read more detailed analysis at ZomBlog.
I just don't know how much worse this administration, and it's vetting process, can get.

ReplyDeletePerhaps he'll explain that he never truly, really, deep inside *believed* in the substantive message of NAMBLA. (AKA, the "Van Jone Defense")
ReplyDeleteMake that "Jones", with an "s".
ReplyDeleteAnd with that, I have to say, BBL.
Perhaps he'll explain that he never truly, really, deep inside *believed* in the substantive message of NAMBLA. (AKA, the "Van Jone Defense")
ReplyDeleteI dont' see how he could possibly use that excuse, considering the "advice" he gave the kid.
Great job by Zombie, as usual.
ReplyDeleteWell, since we have the rare opportunity to see the very first stirrings of what clould be a quick little scandal, let's take odds on the outcome.
I guess the categories should be simple:
Jennings remains as Czar
Jennings does not remain as Czar
(Maybe an over/under on when he steps down?)
I'm still not sure what I think. Jennings' response (or lack thereof) will decide where this thing goes, I guess.
"I admire his courage, the way he stood up for oppressed peoples and his beliefs. We have to remember that when he first came forward and spoke out on these issues, most people were too afraid to say what they believed. And that same silent terror -- the terror of being denied a job/health care/respect/______ is still with us today. While I may not agree with him on all points, I still find his courage and willingness to fight for his beliefs inspirational."

ReplyDeleteThe media made him; this was their greatest success since foisting Jimmy "the Goober" Carter on us. They are still too proud of their accomplishments to notice.
OTOH, that he's getting flack on the editorial page of the WaPo is an indication that the honeymoon is over.

Heh.
I hear that later this week, CNN will be airing a hard-hitting exposé on the gross factual distortions contained in the "Who's On First?" routine. Here's just a taste: After an exhaustive records search, they have found NO RECORD of a major league baseball second baseman with the family name of "What"!
"Fact-checking the SNL skit about President Hussein?"
ReplyDeleteWill SNL do a skit about jokes being fact-checked?
Never mind...
This creep advocator has got to go--and go NOWHERE near children either.
ReplyDeleteKevin Chavous and other black democrats in DC are breaking publicly with the President, even Marion Barry the four time mayor of DC is breaking with the President, on forcing poor kids into public schools where predators like this creep find employment and victims.
Poor parents wouldn't want this guy near their kids either, IF they had a choice and a voucher to put their kids in a charter school where they have more input.
"Oh, I would never diss Pinochet.
ReplyDeleteNow Trujillo, that's another matter."
I would diss Pinochet, although yes, he did get some big things right.
Trujillo was just an out and out thug, on the other hand. (Literature Korner: "The Feast of the Goat", by sorta kinda Latin Neocon Mario Vargas Llosa)

ReplyDeleteBoth Obamas gave heartfelt speeches about ... themselves. Although the working of the committee's mind is murky, it could reasonably have rejected Chicago's bid for the 2016 games on aesthetic grounds -- unless narcissism has suddenly become an Olympic sport.
In the 41 sentences of her remarks, Michelle Obama used some form of the personal pronouns "I" or "me" 44 times. Her husband was, comparatively, a shrinking violet, using those pronouns only 26 times in 48 sentences."

Obama to confer with lawmakers on Afghanistan
ReplyDeletePresident Barack Obama will confer with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders on the Afghanistan war at the White House on Tuesday as he weighs a decision on whether to send more U.S. troops there.
Obama's top defense and diplomacy advisers said the United States retains the Afghanistan war goal that Obama outlined just two months into his presidency _ to sideline al-Qaida _ but changing circumstances require a reassessment of how to get there.
A "snap decision" on whether to add more U.S troops would be counterproductive, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday.
/maybe they can sort it all out over a nice leisurely game of Risk
I REALLY don't like the fact that all these "czars" are just appointed to these funky positions.

The Obamas' Narcissism on Display
ReplyDelete"In the Niagara of words spoken and written about the Obamas' trip to Copenhagen, too few have been devoted to the words they spoke there.

Her husband was, comparatively, a shrinking violet, using those pronouns only 26 times in 48 sentences. Still, 70 times in 89 sentences was sufficient to convey the message that somehow their fascinating selves were what made, or should have made, Chicago's case compelling.",
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/10/06/olympic_gold_for_narcissism_98591.html
The appalling narcissism of the Obamas is now out in the open. No longer confined to chatter in the comments sections of various blogs, leading journalists such as Charles Krauthammer, Jack Kelly and now George Will have written about the sickening self-regard in residence at the White House. Even foreign leaders, such as France's Sarkozy who recently described the American president as "grossly egotistical".
http://www.breitbart.tv/sources-sarkozy-thinks-obama-is-incredibly-naive-and-grossly-egotistical/
If our journalists and allies have noticed Obama's personality disorder, it's a sure bet the thugs & dictators or the world have sniffed him out. The likes of Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, Chavez and Kim, among whom the malignant form of narcissistic personality disorder is the commonality recognize a fellow spirit in the young American president. To be precise, Obama is does not have malignant NPD, characterized by sadism, but the kinder gentler form of NPD with an overweening self-regard and bottomless need for praise.
The rougher members of the narcissistic tribe will play naive Obama as a pack of wolves will tease, lure and finally tear apart a domestic dog. He will be their bitch because they know he craves admiration above all else. America, and the world, are in for a rude awakening when that happens.
Excellent job, zombie! Let's hope this picks up some traction in the MSM. Hannity did mention it on FOX last night, so maybe...

How to proceed in Afghanistan will be among the most difficult and fateful decisions that President Obama ever makes. But he's the one who has to decide, not his generals.

ReplyDeleteMy kids schools have lots of rules about PDAs (Public Displays of Affection), so I fail to see where they are promoting any sexuality.

He's saying military brass should not speak out publicly about such matters. Unless, of course, the president is a Republican, and the general is disagreeing with the CinC. In that case, they get a front page spread in the NYT.
ReplyDeleteJCM: I hate dicks like that for example;
ReplyDeleteBut what we want to achieve in Afghanistan is a political question, and we don't pay our generals to do politics. That's the job of the president and Congress -- and whether our elected leaders decide to pull out tomorrow or stay for 100 years, the generals' job is to make it happen.
He should read some Clauswitz. "War is politics by other means." A general is telling his boss what he needs to prosecute the war to win. Anything else is giving up. Maybe not now, but eventually down the road when there are more losses then gains. Eugene Robinson is a terrorist enabler, he also states that eventually we may have to negotiate with the Taliban. *spit*

Hey y'all - just a short break from my chores with some depressing news from Rasmussen:
ReplyDelete55% Still Blame Bush for Economic Problems
Monday, October 05, 2009
Fifty-five percent (55%) of likely voters say the nation’s current economic problems are due to the recession which began under President George W. Bush, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) say the current economic problems are caused by the policies President Obama has put in place since taking office. These findings have remained relatively stable since May.
Eighty-seven percent (87%) of Democratic voters blame Bush; 65% of Republicans blame Obama. Fifty percent (50%) of unaffiliated voters attribute the current economic situation to the Bush administration.
Still, when it comes to economic issues affecting the nation, 59% of voters trust themselves more than the president, up 10 points from early February. Just 29% trust Obama more. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/october_2009/55_still_blame_bush_for_economic_problems
We obviously have Voters with VERY LITTLE understanding of the economy or politics. Let us NOT forget that the LEFT owned Congress for the last two years of Bush's presidency. And it is Congress which passes budgets and appropriations.

ReplyDeleteThat as it happens is a true analysis ONCE THE PRESIDENT DOES IN FACT MAKE UP HIS MIND.
The military in the United States has ALWAYS been subservient to the wishes of the CIVILIAN President and CIC.
But I don't recall a President (except MAYBE for Carter) who was SO UNWILLING to listen to the advice from his Generals as Obama. He has NO EFIN' CLUE about military matters, none. Nor does Rahm Emmanuel and Biden's entire military expertise comes from sitting his fat ass in a chair in a Senate committee listening to the REAL WARRIORS. I give true and deserved props to Biden's son who is,iirc, serving in Afghanistan, but those props stop with the son.

ReplyDeleteGlazing chicks like a donut?
it's actually not an "f" but a "long-s"
ReplyDeleteThe s that we're all used to were only used at the ends of words. That same practice continues in Greek. Using the "short s" in the medial position only came into widespread use in the nineteenth century, largely to simplify typography. It remained in handwriting in English up to the middle of the century, and in German until post-WWII.

I hear you, man. That is true, but it's even worse than that. Obama's leftist instinct is to believe the US military will always create more problems than they solve, and that actual military victory is undesirable because it will lead to "resentment". Obama will actually choose to avoid winning this war. He wants to have a negotiated settlement in which everybody goes home with something and everybody will be happy and content and Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize.

ReplyDeleteWhere does the government get its money anyway? While 65 percent understand the government's money is their taxpayer dollars at work, some 24 percent think the federal government has "plenty of its own money without using taxpayer dollars."
I am continually amazed at the abject stupidity of a large percentage of the American people. Public education (paid for with YOUR TAX DOLLARS) at work.
Recall that even paid Dem shills will tell you that something like 40% of the US doesn't actually pay income tax.
Consider that class warfare has been a theme of the party for quite some time.
It's really not hard to understand, then, IMO.
In another context, gay activists will tell you that sexual orientation is not a matter of choice, but is hard-wired into the human brain by the time a child is born. The issue is merely about accepting the way people are. Recruiting people to one orientation or another is pointless, as are so-called "cures" for homosexuality.
ReplyDeleteYet, when it suits Kevin Jennings' political agenda, he will ignore all that and insist schools are recruiting for heterosexuality.
Da.

Oh, if Obama is such a great orator, where's his "It's Twilight In America" speech? Huh? Huh?
Realwest... in old typography one "f" equals "ss"
ReplyDeleteKenneth - "Obama's leftist instinct is to believe the US military will always create more problems than they solve, and that actual military victory is undesirable because it will lead to "resentment". Obama will actually choose to avoid winning this war. He wants to have a negotiated settlement in which everybody goes home with something and everybody will be happy and content and Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize."
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid you are correct, that is his instinct.
But I think it's also true that in Obama's mind, the Taliban aren't a threat to the USA, only Al-Quaeda is. The disconnect between the two can't be explained to him without the use of the words
"Safe Haven" and once you explain that to him, you have to explain to him that IF Afghanistan goes back under control of the Taliban, then Al-Quaeda will once again have a Safe Haven. Seriously, when it comes to foreign affairs, someone has to actually define terms and connect the dots for him, because, as you said, his LEFTIST instinct is to "jaw-jaw" not "war-war".
"Twilight Zone in America", more like it.
ReplyDeleteFolks like Wells aren't interested in an argument. Words are merely tools to deceive, confuse, anger, cajole, etc. Power is the end. They want power.

ReplyDeleteI hear you. I post at least every few days on the damn FUBARed air tanker deal.
Fuel tankers are an airborne gas station, not very glamorous, but without them we have near zero capability to project force.
Congress the Pentagon, and the contractors continually find a way TO FUCK IT UP!
Pretty soon our ability to maintain air logistics and force projection is going to be impacted.
Hi doppelganglander! I have to thank Pink Freud for doing that for me, THAT'S how tech tarded I am!
ReplyDeleteI kept trying to get it to work with TypePad - which is now miles in my dust and my horse's doo-doo, with no success, but Pink saw the problem (Typepad and a technologically challenged C2er) and fixed it in something under 10 minutes.
YAY PINK! We loves ya!!

Realwest said...
ReplyDeleteYup. For Obama, the utility of the distinction between Al Qaeda and the "Tollybahn" is that it will allow him a way to negotiate & withdraw. That's the goal. Facts are bullshit to him. Never mind that the Canadians in Kandahar report that at least half the bad-guys they fight are Al Qaeda, fighting along side of Taliban.
What will Obama's new ROE be? To require NATO troops to ask the punk pointing an AK47 at them to declare whether he's AQ or Taliban before deciding to defend themselves?

ReplyDeleteOne of the first real-life military flight sims I got to use (at the old Pease AFB) was a KC-135. One of the first I ever got to actually flay for several minutes (with the real pilot ready to go if I fucked anything up LOL).

ReplyDeleteActually, I was a Civil Air Patrol cadet, with plans to end up being a USAF pilot, so I got to spend a few weeks with pilots at the AFB, living "the dream" so to speak. I got to fly a real tanker nice and steady and straight for several minutes, and then hung out with the boom operator during the refuelings and stuff.
It was pretty fun. The FB-111 Simulator they had on base was pretty advanced for the time - almost like a video game (but cooler) and I got to shoot down MIGs. Woot!
Hey Pink, so am I! LOL! Thankew very much!
ReplyDeleteAnd {red}- tough luck; the " 6p00" has been left in the dust, so to speak!

ReplyDeleteWhich Rubicon?
Oh well:
As he stood in doubt, this sign was given to him. All of a sudden there appeared hard by a being of wondrous stature and beauty, who sat and played upon a reed, and when not only the shepherds flocked to hear him, but many of the soldiers left their posts and among them some of the trumpeters, the apparition snatched a trumpet from one of them, rushed to the river and sounding the war note with a mighty blast strode to the opposite bank. Then Caesar cried "take we the course which the sign of the gods and the false dealings of our foes point out. The die is cast." -- Suetonius
RB,
ReplyDeleteBest I every did was fly around with friends in Cessnas and Pipers. Back in the 60's I got to sit in a 707 captains seat while flying across Europe.
Now I just have fun with X-Plane which beats the snot out of MS Flight Sim for flight dynamic realism.

ReplyDeleteI was well on my way to a pilot's license. I had soloed and everything. Unfortunately, I was poor. Couldn't afford to keep doing it, paying for fuel etc... I settled for a Glider license at the time.
Then I joined the Navy because they had a bigger air force than the Air Force. Heh.
RB - a USAF pilot? Really? I've always thought that, day in and day out (and nights too!) that US Navy Pilots had more courage in their little fingers than I did in my whole body!
ReplyDeleteI mean trying to land an aircraft (much less a supersonic fighter at realtively high speeds in case of a miss and you had to go around) on something that looks like a SMALL postage stamp in the ocean is really an accomplishment!
How come you didn't wind up flying for the Air Force?
Kissinger weighs in on Afghanistan...
ReplyDelete"The request for additional forces by the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, poses cruel dilemmas for President Obama. If he refuses the recommendation and General McChrystal's argument that his forces are inadequate for the mission, Obama will be blamed for the dramatic consequences. If he accepts the recommendation, his opponents may come to describe it, at least in part, as Obama's war. If he compromises, he may fall between all stools—too little to make progress, too much to still controversy. And he must make the choice on the basis of assessments he cannot prove when he makes them.
The demand for an exit strategy is, of course, a metaphor for withdrawal, and withdrawal that is not accompanied by a willingness to sustain the outcome amounts to abandonment. In Vietnam, Congress terminated an American role even after all our troops had, in fact, been withdrawn for two years. It remains to be seen to what extent the achievements of the surge in Iraq will be sustained there politically."
