Latin Americans lecture Obama on Debt

Talk about a turn of events. I remember a time back in the 80’s and 90’s when Latin American nations would default on their debts. Another tactic they would use is monetizing their debts, sound familiar. Now most Latin countries have their fiscal house in order, The result is economic growth. Buoyed by their new found success, they are now lecturing the Obama Regime about debt and fiscal responsibility.

SAO PAULO, July 20 (Reuters) – After three decades spent battling their own debt crises and getting constantly lectured about them by Uncle Sam, many Latin Americans are watching the countdown to a possible default in Washington with a mix of schadenfraude and fear of what a collapse might mean for them.

For everybody from presidents on down to street vendors, seeing U.S. politicians argue over where to make painful budget cuts has also been a reminder that those days are over in Latin America. For now, at least, as most of the region enjoys an era of economic prosperity and comparatively tiny deficits.

[….]

Brazil, the region’s economic powerhouse, which just a decade ago had to come to Washington to ask the International Monetary Fund for a bailout, is now the United States’ fourth-biggest sovereign creditor — holding about $211 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, according to U.S. data from May.

This is unacceptable. America is becoming the economic laughing stock of the world. When you have former debtors telling us to be responsible, it’s embarrassing.

Rep. West: No New Tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood

Once again, Rep. Allen West shows that he has a better grasp of the reality of the Middle East than anyone in the Obama Administration:

In a letter to Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon on Monday, West wrote:

“It has come to my attention that the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress on July 1, 2011 of a possible foreign military sale to the government of Egypt for 125 M1A1 Abrams tank kits for coproduction and associated weapons, equipment, parts, training and logistical support.

“One of the greatest threats to Egyptian stability, as well as to regional stability, is the growing prospect of a new Egyptian government under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. If given control of the country, the Muslim Brotherhood would nominate its own candidates and turn Egypt into a radical Islamic state.

“America must continue to stand with the Egyptian people and encourage them to build their own democracy with new political parties and freedoms. However, we must exercise caution with regard to military sales and support to the Egyptian government until a government is formed absent of the radical elements of the Muslim Brotherhood that will maintain active peace with Israel,” stated West, R-Plantation.

“As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I strongly oppose any military sales of any kind to the government of Egypt as long as the Muslim Brotherhood remains active in the political process. Doing so would seriously jeopardize the safety and security of the state of Israel. The last thing I want to see is Egyptian M1A1 tanks rolling through the Sinai toward Jerusalem.”

Maybe we can send them to the Libyan “rebels,” instead.

Vichy Republicans

In addition to David Brooks and Kathleen Parker, we can add David Frum, David Gergen, Christopher Buckley, David Brock, Arianna Huffington to the list of sell outs.  The thing abut David Brooks and Kathleen Parker is that they are not even good, analytical writers. William Safire was the only reason to ever look at The New York Times.

by Diana Banister and Craig Shirley

The news of Brooks being fired and then arrested came via e-mail. Conservatives across the country cheered in unison that justice had been finally served on David Brooks, The New York Times ersatz conservative and full-time insult-hurler.

Alas, it was Rebekah Brooks of the other tabloid, News of the World, on the other side of the pond to whom rough justice was being ladled out. The American right is still stuck with the window-dressing rightist that no one in the Republican Party considers a Republican and no one in the conservative movement considers a conservative.

Still, his kind — along with fellow Fifth Columnist Kathleen Parker — is not new to Sodom and Gomorrah, ahem, New York and Washington.

Garry Wills, whom Bill Buckley must have regarded as a great mistake, began his life as a writer for National Review and then upon his departure made a career of taking cheap shots at Ronald Reagan and conservatives.

Wills plowed the field for Vichy Republicans like the Parkers and Brookses of the world.

What purpose do these folks serve, other than furthering their own careers by co-operating and cheering for the opposition?

Brooks and Parker never met a Republican they liked, unless maybe it was Lowell Weicker, the irritating left-winger from Connecticut who even provoked the normally pacific Reagan into calling him a “schmuck” and a “pompous, no good fathead.”

[……]

More to the point, Brooks, Parker and the establishment they represent never met a conservative or Tea Party member they liked. Of course, neither genre is likely to be found at a Georgetown or Manhattan cocktail party. The sophisticates who presume to speak for the right simply couldn’t be more wrong.

They are in the liberal establishment to serve as window dressing, for entertainment purposes; but not to be taken seriously by their captors and certainly not by anybody on the right. They can’t stand the idea that there might be a party of the commentariat to which they are not invited.

After all, Mr. Brooks fell in love with Obama after he was impressed by the crease in Obama’s pants. He used last week’s column to trash Republicans for hanging tough on preventing tax increases. In it, he claims to be speaking for a group of people who agree with him. He suggests in parentheses, “You might call us conservatives.” You might, but not with a straight face.

Today’s column by Mr. Brooks continues in a long and boring, uninteresting and anti-intellectual line of his usual vapidness issued from his holier-than-though perch. He trashes conservative leaders for their principles; he trashes conservative talk show hosts for their principles; he trashes conservative candidates for their principles.

[……]

Mrs. Parker’s role began by bashing Sarah Palin. More recently, she’s spent most of her time defending Obama, as befits any good insider. On Sunday, Parker wrote about the president’s prevarications in describing his mother’s so-called problems with health insurance. “It’s likely that the president will be forgiven this exaggeration in the service of a greater truth.” Beg pardon?

No real conservative believes the truth can ever be served with a lie.
