Today's story to sip your coffee by:
DNC Uses Flag Desecration Video to Raise Funds
A Democratic fundraising video on President Obama's political Web site shows an American flag mural being covered in graffiti and desecrated with slogans about health care reform.
As a heart monitor beeps ominously in the background, a graffiti artist paints over the Stars and Stripes with phrases criticizing opposition to the Democratic legislation, including "profit over life" and the crossed-out words "death panel." The whole flag is eventually smeared with paint and blacked out.
Very patriotic.

I also believe you have the right to Free Speech.
Now, compare my beliefs with your "Obama as Joker" reaction and suck on it.

ReplyDelete"The DNC is using the splattered Old Glory to pick up some change, asking for donations to air the winner of its contest. "[T]o put the winning ad on national television, we'll need folks to chip in and help cover the cost of getting the ad on the air," the DNC says on its my.BarackObama.com Web site."
WHAT? The DNC NEEDS MONEY? Why not just ask any of the multi-millionaire Democrats in Congress or Obama his own self for the dough. Hell, he'll probably give the DNC money to create "Stimulus Jobs".
And,on a personal note, that the LEFTY Democrats are actually using desecration of the flag - or at least considering it - speaks VOLUMES about their Patriotism and the lack thereof.
Maybe, when Obama cuts and runs in Afghanistan the RNC should come out with an ad similar to that but covered with Pelosi and Reids pronouncements about Iraq, Dem pronouncements about Vietnam and Obama's campaign pledge to Get Osama and Al-Quaeda.

Obama to talk Afghanistan troop numbers with military brass
ReplyDeletePresident Barack Obama meets his top military chiefs Friday to talk Afghanistan strategy and troop numbers in one of the last steps before deciding whether to send thousands more Americans to war.
Obama invited the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the secure White House Situation Room to hear their input on his evolving war plan from across the military establishment.
The president's meeting with the heads of the US armed service branches comes a day after he witnessed the return to home soil of American service personnel killed in Afghanistan, and said the heavy sacrifice of US soldiers was weighing on his decision-making.
An administration official said the "meeting will include a discussion of strategy and resources," as Obama considers war commander General Stanley McChrystal's request for 40,000 more troops.
Shit or get off the pot.
Gen. McChrystal has said want he needs to when, I the more I look into it, the more I think he's the best man for the job.
The indecision and meetings and dithering are a decision.
IT'S DECIDING NOT TO WIN!
It's a binary solution set.
WIN
LOSE
THERE IS NO GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING MIDDLE GROUND
The middle ground is going to troops killed in vain, alienate the populace, and lose the war.
Lose Afghanistan.
Lose Pakistan.
Iran becomes the defacto regional power.
Radical Jihadism goes nuclear.
Victory is hard and costly.
Defeat is easy.
There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace--and you can have it in the next second--surrender.

Canadians blind to terror threat
ReplyDelete"CSIS chief Dick Fadden says the public too readily embraces suspected terrorists as ‘folk heroes'. Public skepticism about intelligence agencies has built to a point where being an accused terrorist in Canada is now akin to being a “status symbol” in certain quarters, he lamented.
Mr. Fadden said that a “loose partnership” of non-governmental organizations, advocacy journalists and lawyers have skewed the public debate even though “terrorism is still the most important threat we face.” He harangued unnamed journalists for being too credulous and Canadian “elites” for being aloof to the threat of terrorism entirely.
“Why then, I ask, are those accused of terrorist offences often portrayed in media as quasi-folk heroes, despite the harsh statements of numerous judges?”
He added: “Why are they always photographed with their children, given tender-hearted profiles, and more or less taken at their word when they accuse CSIS or other government agencies of abusing them?
“It sometimes seems that to be accused of having terrorist connections in Canada has become a status symbol, a badge of courage in the struggle against the real enemy, which apparently is government.”
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canadians-blind-to-terror-threat-top-spy/article1344070/
I'll bet Mr Fadden is about to be tarred & feathered by the "“loose partnership” of non-governmental organizations, advocacy journalists and lawyers" for speaking the truth.

Can we question their patriotism yet?
Obama goes to Dover for a look at me photo-op saluting flag draped caskets of the fallen.
The DNC desecrates a flag for political purposes.
Ayers stands on a flag.
Wright shrieks GODDAMN AMERICA.
Michelle was never proud of America.
The flag and what it stands for is anti-ethical to everything Obama and minions wish to accomplish.
Mark Levin has it right. We are watching a counter-revolution bent on overthrowing everything fought for by the men in all those flag draped caskets down through the years, everything established in the Constitution.
The flag is a symbol, of an idea, one nation under God with Liberty and Justice for all.
The ad is a symbol, that that idea needs to be torn down.
It will not be torn down as long as I stand.
Realwest, it's been here for a long time. Most Canadians don't really see it. Some of us have been far closer to it and have witnessed it. I blame a lot of social policies and "folk" heroes that snuck that belief into our systems up here. The worst thing that really brought it out to me was when I was in the reserves in the late 80's and driving down a main street of a small town. We were in the back of an MLVW, big six wheeled 5 ton truck. Middle of summer and we were relaxing and enjoying the air and view. Some long haired hippy dippy kid yelled "BABY KILLERS!", at us as we drove by. We just responded with a single digit each.
ReplyDeletePart of what disturbed me about that incident was 1.) We were the same age or close enough. 2.) The last war Canada was in was the Korean War. 3.) Since the mid Sixties Canada was prominently involved in UN Peacekeeping missions.
Sad really, I think he got most of his views of history from American media like Vietnam war movies, and leftist history teachers.
Thanks, guys.
ReplyDeleteI think that "Go Cialis," with some nice Fillmore East visuals, would be a hell of a lot more entertaining as a TV ad than two saggy boomers in bathtubs on top of a hill.
Well y'all, much as I hate to, I gotta leave now.
ReplyDeleteDamnit.
I hope you all have a great day and that I get the chance to see you all down the road.
'Bye, Real.
ReplyDeleteLater Real, have a good day.
ReplyDeleteSO I got an interesting peice of mail today. My local energy company has offered to give me up to a $50.00 credit on my bill if I allow them to install "a radio device near your outside air conditioning compressor that will cycle off your central air conditioner.
ReplyDeleteThe $50 option allows them to cycle it off for six consecutive hours during a "cycling event" (undefined)
It has been duly filed in the appropriate circular file in my office.
I wonder when this becomes mandatory?

ReplyDeleteObama's Smart-Grid Game Plan
That's why there's a growing push to build a smarter grid, in which the meters can report in, appliances can control how much energy they use, and electricity stored in batteries can supply quick jolts of energy where needed, replacing the expensive power plants now used to meet peak power needs. One of the biggest believers in that vision is the White House. On Oct. 27, the Obama Administration announced 100 grants, totaling $3.4 billion, for smart-grid efforts, using money from the stimulus bill.
Who Will Control Your Thermostat?
What should be controversial in the proposed revisions to Title 24 is the requirement for what is called a "programmable communicating thermostat" or PCT. Every new home and every change to existing homes' central heating and air conditioning systems will required to be fitted with a PCT beginning next year following the issuance of the revision. Each PCT will be fitted with a "non-removable " FM receiver that will allow the power authorities to increase your air conditioning temperature setpoint or decrease your heater temperature setpoint to any value they chose. During "price events" those changes are limited to +/- four degrees F and you would be able to manually override the changes. During "emergency events" the new setpoints can be whatever the power authority desires and you would not be able to alter them.
In other words, the temperature of your home will no longer be yours to control. Your desires and needs can and will be overridden by the state of California through its public and private utility organizations. All this is for the common good, of course.
Soon, comrade, very soon.
O of S and JCM, wasn't there a story last year where the UK was flying helicopters around towns w/ IR cameras seeing whose homes were "too hot" or losing too much heat? Mind you, they were paying for the heat they were using, but they might be using "too much".

ReplyDeleteI believe most people cannot be convinced to give up much for the common good. When I lived in Spain during a rather serious drought, people refused to conserve voluntarily, so the local government turned off the entire water supply from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day. I won't be at all surprised to see it come to that in some parts of this country, whether it's water, air conditioning, or anything else.

Peggy Noonan (yeah, I know):
ReplyDelete"I talked with an executive this week with what we still call “the insurance companies” and will no doubt soon be calling Big Insura. (Take it away, Democratic National Committee.) He was thoughtful, reflective about the big picture. He talked about all the new proposed regulations on the industry. Rep. Barney Frank had just said on some cable show that the Democrats of the White House and Congress “are trying on every front to increase the role of government in the regulatory area.” The executive said of Washington: “They don’t understand that people can just stop, get out. I have friends and colleagues who’ve said to me ‘I’m done.’ ” He spoke of his own increasing tax burden and said, “They don’t understand that if they start to tax me so that I’m paying 60%, 55%, I’ll stop.”
He felt government doesn’t understand that business in America is run by people, by human beings. Mr. Frank must believe America is populated by high-achieving robots who will obey whatever command he and his friends issue. But of course they’re human, and they can become disheartened. They can pack it in, go elsewhere, quit what used to be called the rat race and might as well be called that again since the government seems to think they’re all rats. (That would be you, Chamber of Commerce.)"
