Well Screw You Anyhow Cold Play, Or At Least Learn The Facts Before Opening Your Traps.

Every once in a while, I come across an obvious piece of propaganda which really pisses me off.  The musical group Cold Play provided me with the latest bit of it.  It seems as though Cold Play, the popular singing group hates Jews.  They are wishing for that imaginary land of Palestine to be returned to those imaginary people called Palestinians.  (Yes, I know that there are Arabs there living in Gaza and the West Bank that refer to themselves as Palestinians, and that most of them actually believe the brainwashing that they have received from birth which tell them that their families were forcibly removed from their ancestral home land, but a minimal amount of actual research, going back to the ancient date on 1917 for instance, and it is obvious that this is baloney.)  For those of you who wish to crouch your hatred for Jews in that nonsensical meme that anti Zionism is not anti Semitism, why the complete silence when Jewish Children are killed on school buses or in Pizza Parlors?  Where was your apology for when you screeched about the death of Mohamed Al Dura at the hands of the IDF, when it turned out that little Mohamed was actually killed by his father as a neat publicity stunt?  Two videos coming up, the first promoted by Cold Play, the second will be an excerpt from a, “Palestinian,” Children’s T.V. show called Tomorrow’s Pioneers.

The claim from our propagandists is that the Israelis are guilty of perpetrating some sort of genocide against the, “Palestinians.” They further claim that even though the Jewish population in this world is less than one half of one percent, we actually control the world’s media, governments etc… So with the fact that during the 1948 division of nonpatriated land into Jordan and Israel, with 600,000 Jews being expelled from Arab lands, and 600,000 Arabs making it their choice to leave Israel, how is it possible for there to be over 7,000,000 refugees today? If we Jews are that crafty to be masters of the universe, and to control a population which is 200 times greater than ourselves, how is it possible that we screwed up this genocide thing so badly that the, “Palestinians,” have multiplied like cockroaches?

Next subject, it is a well known secret that the leaders, and people of Israel want there to be a Palestinian State. The Palestinians could have their own nation tomorrow, and all they need to do to get every thing that they claim to want is to just accept it. The fact is, they are more interested in killing all of the Jews in the world than they are anything else. Almost every nation in the world enforces its borders. The Israelis have a very good reason for enforcing theirs. After being attacked by 5 surrounding nations within the last century, and after repeated attacks by, “Palestinians,” on a daily basis, significant control of the border with Gaza and the West Bank is a matter of survival. 12,000 Katusha Rockets are fired into Israel each year, just imagine what would happen if you allowed these animals free access.

Expect the Cold Play apology within a week. It will be accompanied by the typical lame excuse of we only care about the plight of the oppressed anywhere oppression occurs, and we meant not to say that we hate Jews. Well boys, I’m one Jew who ain’t buying it.

Let me leave you with one more video, of Walid Shoebat. While I am not a Christian, there is more to Shoebat’s message than the religious message that he is delivering. He has a unique insight into the world of Islam and Muslims. Having been a former member of the PLO, and actually having participated in terrorist acts, he disabuses everyone who pays attention to what he says of the notion of a moderate Muslim, or of the notion that Islam is a religion of peace.

Conflict of Interest!

Please Note, this piece is an opinion. In it I refer to felonies having been committed by Elena Kagan and Barack Obama. As neither of these individuals have been prosecuted by officers of our judicial system, nor convicted in the same, this remains solely my opinion.

You can always tell what Democrats are up to by listening to what they accuse Republicans of doing. We’ll use some examples of this statement for context. During the height of spontaneous outrage over the Obamacare legislation which occurred all over America in the summer of 2009, Nancy Pelosi went to the nearest bank of microphones and cameras and told us it was just AstroTurf. Perplexed, a reporter asked Nancy to define the term. She told us of the little known practice of faking buzz and interest in an issue or candidate. This is accomplished by loading buses filled with professional protesters, and taking them to where the epicenter of the issue is. Mass mailings of editorial letters to every newspaper in the country claiming that they all were written by local citizen. Packing town hall meetings with professional protesters again to give the appearance of dissent stronger than what the dissent may actually be. to date, the GOP instances of astro turfing verified is still at zero. To date, the instances of Democrat AstroTurf, to numerous to estimate. Politically motivated firings by executive privilege. The left went nuts when George Bush fired 3 Federal Prosecutors. Even though, these people serve at the pleasure of the President, and he was able to produce letters written by each of them in which they stated that they had no intentions of performing their duties to the standards set forth by their boss, the President, it was called cynical. On his first day in office, Bill Clinton fired every federal prosecutor, and issued a statement that essentially called them all crooked. I am still waiting for any sort of a comment or even a blurb to be reported on this.

About 6 months ago, I started noticing stories about the wife of Justice Clearance Thomas.  She is a career woman who works for the Heritage Foundation.  The Heritage Foundation is a political and economic think tank with a conservative bent.  They also pride themselves on the accuracy of their facts.  They researched the Obamacare Law, and reported on some factual discrepancies.  They also editorialized against it.  On this flimsy basis,  Democrats began screaming about Justice Thomas’ possible role in the SCOTUS decision regarding the eventual Obamacare arguments in front of the court.  After all, if his wife works for people who are against it, how could he possibly remain impartial?  Something happened two days ago which made this preposterous stance all too clear.

As it turns out, there is real evidence now that Elena Kagan, the newest member of the court, was the person responsible for developing the White House’s legal defense for this Law.  Some points of interest here.  Kagan was asked about this very thing while giving testimony during her confirmation hearings.  She flat out lied about it.  Elena Kagan is not supposed to be a politician who lies with such ease and the low expectations that come with being a professional campaigner.  She is supposed to be representative of the highest court in the land, and an example of unimpeachable integrity.  Kagan also stated that she would not recuse herself from the case, when it eventually makes its inevitable trip to the court. 

That this Law would eventually be headed, as it is, to the Supreme Court was never in doubt.  Obama had the chance to pick a vote which would go his way, regardless of all other factors.  He had the chance to pick the very person for the court who wrote the argument she will now listen to and adjudicate.  This is beyond cynical, it is outright criminal.  Lying to Congress is also a criminal act.  I am still waiting for the slightest reaction from the main stream media on these facts.  When elected, President Obama promised, “to pick people for the court who would use their empathy to determine social justice as well as legal justice. ”  It is a shame he refused to use actual knowledge of the Constitution or a personal integrity standard for his criteria.  An officer of the highest court in the land is now a felon, as is the President of the United States.  (Obama is also included in the felons club for his role in Pigford.)

Are You Serious? No Chicken Little, Barack Obama Is Not A Shoo In.

So, here we are with another election cycle starting out way to early. The GOP field is in the middle of announcing their bids officially. Announcing their intentions this early is nothing new. What is new however, newspaper articles and television reports assuring us that no matter what we the people have to say about it, the current POTUS is a lock for reelection. Several media sources including the New York Times, Newsweek, Time, and MSNBC have already informed us that the conservative movement is now officially dead, and further, the GOP need not bother with a nomination process, Barack Obama simply can not be defeated. If you choose to laugh for a bit prior to reading on, I completely understand.

The only thing necessary to dispel this pap of course is an adult memory. Remember back to the ancient date of November 2010. The voters, meaning we the people, delivered an overwhelming referendum to reject President Obama’s domestic agenda. Since then, many predicted that Obama would tack to the center, and coopt the conservative message. President Obama in fact has done the opposite. He has rejected outright the message delivered by an historic election where his party saw losses of 72 House Seats, 6 Senate Seats, 11 Governorships, 680 State Legislature Seats, and watched his messianic approval numbers plunge to being below the mendoza line. Gas is not only above $4.00 per gallon, but there are several recordings, youtube videos, etc. of Obama and members of his administration stating that this was what they wanted to inflict upon America in order to promote social justice and to save the planet from global warming, (something which by the way has been shown to be a farce by leaked emails sent by the main proponents of this nonsense.) Monthly, we all get treated to a story about how the economy is, “unexpectedly,” sluggish in terms of GDP growth, employment, construction starts, materials inventory, venture capital, what have you. I have read the adverb, unexpectedly, so many times in economic news reports over the past two years that I am seriously considering donating a couple of bucks to Newsweek so that they can purchase another descriptive phrase.

Based on economics alone, Barack Obama is a goner. then we have his record on foreign matters. Yes, we got Bin Laden, but then again, the lack of getting Bin Laden was not President Obama’s sore point. The middle east is in flames. The Muslim Brotherhood has taken over Egypt, and is making overtures in other nations as well. He has gone out of his way to insult and alienate our staunchest allies while cozying up to the world’s most thuggish dictators. How weird have the optics of his Presidency gotten in regards to foreign policy? Try contemplating this. A past winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Barack Obama, held a state dinner for a thuggish dictator, Hu Jintao, who had at the time imprisoned the current winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Dali Lama. We also have a wonderful still shot of the Dali Lama being forced to walk out of the service entrance to the White House, past the garbage.

Remember when George Bush was President and we were bludgeoned daily with tales of the disastrous national budget deficits, which at the time were $450 Billion. Candidate Obama promised to cut this in half, not just the deficits, but the total debt as well. President Obama has proposed nothing short of a deficit of $1.6 Trillion. While he proposed this, he claimed to be leading the charge on reigning in spending.

He has appointed some of the most incompetent people imaginable to key positions. This includes Van Jones, who’s latest endeavor is to anoint human rights to animals, trees, and even to inanimate objects like rocks and dirt. That people are not laughing at this is perplexing, until I realize that our media has not seen fit to report on any of this. The problem President Obama faces is in some context going to be the early success of his bid for the Presidency. The media could ignore the gaffes, and outright embarrassing facets of the man Obama. They will not be so able to do this in 2012. The President lives in a fish bowl, and people know what he has been up to, and they don’t like it. Then we can add in the socialized health care which nobody wanted. Seniors are beginning to figure out the Barack has indeed screwed with their Medicare and Social Security.

Taken all together, this does not point to a shoo in. All we need to do is to not pick the candidate the main stream media would pick for us. We, meaning we the people, need to vote for who we believe represents our values and ideals, and not worry at all about who we feel has a chance at being elected. Doing that, is how we got landed with John McCain, the GOP Candidate who was endorsed by the New York Times. One lesson which should be remembered by those of us in the conservative movement is that after endorsing McCain during the primary, the New York Times spent the next several months savaging him editorially.

Keep the faith, keep fighting. Nobama in 2012.

As Bin Laden Assumes Room Temperature, Credit Obama For Continuing Bush Policies, Entire

I realize that every blogger and his mother are chiming in on this one today, but I feel that I must point out at least a few observations.  One, while candidate Obama whined about the Bush policies enacted to prosecute the war on terror, he changed precious little of those policies which had to do with the actual operation of the military, or our intelligence gathering services.  As it turned out, that was a good thing as far as eliminating the remaining figure head of Al-Queda was concerned.  So, as Obama took to the airwaves to make the statement that he did this all by his lonesome, and that not a single member of his team of advisers, or the military, nor our intelligence gathering services contributed in any way that should interfere with his bid at reelection.  But even in his best attempt to fly his flag on undeserved arrogance, he made a small misstatement.  Obama stated that he signed the order to take this action.  The reality is that he reaffirmed an order previously signed by George W. Bush.  This may seem like a ticky tack distinction, but it really is very telling.  Once again, Obama’s best actions as President turned out to be an instance where he successfully kept himself out of the way of others.  It was after all intelligence gained at Gitmo, a place Obama promised to close, by use of water boarding, a practice Obama promised to discontinue, from Khalid Sheik Mohamed, a man Obama promised to try in civilian court complete with a defense lawyer and Miranda Rights that led to this result.  I will give Obama Kudos for not following through on his disastrous campaign promises to close Gitmo, end water boarding, end rendition practices, and prosecute the war on terror using law enforcement. 

The media spin has already begun.  The New York Times has called this the result of Obama’s maturation as a world leader.  How low must the grey lady sink before she becomes the laughing stock she so richly deserves to be?  By the first hand accounts leaking out about the process of this decision so far, Obama has known since the early days of his Presidency, within the first weeks at least, where Bin Laden was holed up.  It took just a little over 30 months for him to give up dithering and to make an adult decision.  I will predict that within two years of Obama’s Presidency ending, there will be a book released by no fewer than three members of those security council meetings where this decision was born, and it’ll show Obama to be an aloof, clueless participant who had to be forced, like a small child into doing something.  If this were Bush, does anyone in America actually believe that it would have taken him 30 months to act on this information?

Does our President have a clue as to the optics he is showing with his Presidency.  As he lectures a concerned citizen in Pennsylvania about driving a car which only gets 8 miles to the gallon, (a fact which Obama did nothing to establish by the way,) he boarded Air Force One to visit with Oprah on the set of her T.V. show.  While telling Americans to take, “staycations,” to save on resources, his wife jets off to Spain with dozens of guests to vacation in Europe on the taxpayer’s dime and to stimulate a foreign economy.  While chastising the CEO of BP for yachting during the Gulf Oil Spill, he went literally from the bank of microphones to the golf course and then to a party with Paul McCartney in the same day.  While this operation was being carried out, he managed to squeeze in 9 holes as well.  One of the constant criticisms of Bush was the amount of time he spent working at his Crawford Texas home.  I am beginning to wonder if Obama has even found the Oval Office yet, or even laid eyes on his desk.  Of course, if he never does, he’ll do less damage that way. 

Thank Goodness we had George Bush enact his policies prior to Obama becoming President.  If Gore or Kerry had won, we would doubtless be following their insane ideas right now.
