It Never Ends and Never Will

After the UK loss to UA tonight, by two points after trailing by 20 and turning the ball over twice in the final minute….back on subject….I read a bit and am linking these….

Obama Knows Bush was right or Cheney Mocks Obama

Have you no Decency

Sullivan pledges to be nice to Palin or Something

Three subject matters and  unrelated quotes and observations from today Tuesday January 18, 2010. 

The first points out where a liberal writer acknowledges that Obama has followed the Bush WOT policies without change.  The blogger points out that this means all that hope and change stuff was what you knew it was: a pile of crap intended to deceive stupid voters. Yet, no one on the left wants to call Obama on it.

The second corrects a history professor’s remembrance of the McCarthy hearings.  Anyone who has read about the McCarthy charges and the subsequent hearings knows the following two things. First, McCarthy was right.  There were communist supporters and current and former members of the communist party at the highest levels of the US government. Second, the common narrative about McCarthy’s charges, his evidence and the hearings is inaccurate. Yet, these two facts are obscured over and over.  Heck, I knew it was wrong a hundred years ago at University, but even then the professors and the students on the “right” side painted McCarthy as deranged, sick, and so forth.  Charges which may be accurate given his alcoholism, but do not detract from the accuracy of his basic charge.

The third is quote from A Sullivan about how he intends to more civilly write about Sarah Palin despite questions about the provenance of her Downs Baby and amazement at how an advanced democracy could consider electing her President.  Which is like saying you are stupid, but I will say it with a smile.

The lack of civility, honesty and honor among the left is bottomless.  One hears a statement and thinks, they can’t go any further.  Yet, they do.

You know why that is, but you try to avoid admitting why.  I do, but ultimately one must acknowledge the truth and this is it.  The left in the US are cut from the same fabric as the Nazis in Germany who killed the Jews.  The communists in Russia who enslaved a nation of 200m plus for 80 years or so or the fascists who enslave it now. They are the fascists of Argentina who completely destroyed a country that once had the third highest standard of living in the world.  They are the Khmer Rouge who killed millions.  Oh, the leftists in the US are of a higher quality cloth than the examples I cite, but it is the same fabric.   Lie about your opponents, destroy the currency, nationalize private property, take away freedoms, and kill the innocent.  Yes, it is the same fabric, just better dressed, more pampered, more articulate, but it is the same.  In the US, like the other instances named, the good people, those that tell the truth, that love their neighbors, that pay their taxes, that raise families, that run business, that go to work each day wanting to do the right thing, that go to church oh we are too busy to pay attention to the lies and deceptions.  Sure we call them out from time to time, but there are so many lies and we have taxes to pay, businesses to run, families to raise, churches to attend, we can’t catch them all. So day by day, the left, the liars, the evil ones, get a convert here and one there.   Drip, drip, drip and suddenly we notice the Rock of the Constitution, the Rock of our institutions, the Rock of our legal system, are smaller, not as important.  Drip, drip, drip.  It never ends and never will.  Men without honor cannot stand those that have it.  They are shamed by the sight of honor so they must destroy those that have it.

If this Republic is to survive, things are going to get really dark and bloody around here before this is over.

Sarah Palin for President 2012?

I have to admit it.  It was love at first sight.  That night in Minnesota I looked at her, I listened to her and I watched her barely miss a beat during an obvious teleprompter glitch and thought: Now that is the first female president of the United States.  I even texted a few friends that have an idea what D&B really thinks.

Two long years later, I have to admit it was an infatuation, not true love.  Oh, don’t get me wrong Sarah is an impressive person.  A good mother, appears to be a good wife, generally has the right views, a very good public speaker, has a quick sharp tongue, loves to hunt and fish, and seems to have a good sense of humor. Yet, I don’t see her as president.  Oh, I would happily vote for her if the other choice were Bambam or Bill’s wife, but Sarah isn’t my choice.    After all, when voting you are rarely voting for someone, rather you are voting against someone who will screw things up worse than the person you are voting for.   That’s life and if you don’t understand that, you need to get out more and grow up.

Sarah has become a problem for me for a surprising reason.   No, it isn’t the resignation, it isn’t the television show, nor is it the interesting use of social media to get her message out. (At which she is very good at and innovative.)  My issue is this, she resembles Bambam too much.  Yes, that’s right.  The pretty red head from Alaska reminds me of the man nothing suit from Hawaii by way of Chicago.

To make my point I probably need to summarize my view of BamBam.   Now I am not a Johnny Come Lately to these views. My opinion and impression was formed before he got the Democratic nomination.  (I visited the convention btw.  I will have to tell that story some time.)  Ok, here goes:

Not since Franklin Pierce has a more fragile individual held the presidency.  Never has a more egocentric and inexperienced person held the presidency.  Never has anyone who was less American been president.  Obama is always the least experienced and gracious person in whatever room he enters.  Yet, millions fell in love with him and made him president even though he had not accomplished one, not one, significant achievement in his life.

One Obama voter told me before the election, he was Editor of the Harvard Legal Review. Be still my beating heat.  I said, do you have any idea what that means?  What an editor does? Another said he was a caring person and he spent time as a community organizer.  Well, that’s something I said, he spent his time working with the most desperate and lost in our society.  I asked, have you ever known someone who described themselves as a community organizer.  Well, no this voter said.  I said, it means he wasn’t a social worker, he wasn’t a priest, he wasn’t a teacher, he was organizing votes and political action.  It is a job for losers.    It is a stepping stone for a career in local politics.  That BamBam made it into the first step along the way to the presidency says more about voters than it does about him. Oh well. Both of them voted for him and as I write this, both are unemployed.

Obviously, none of this is why I think Sarah is like Obama.  No, they are alike because fame came too soon.  Neither had accomplished enough before they became famous.  Sarah could have done it and I certainly understand why she had to resign given the crazy legal actions against her and the crazy laws in Alaska that impacted her ability to defend herself.  No, I don’t blame her for resigning, she was, and I stress was, not a wealthy person while she was governor.  But, she resigned and for all of the fame, fortune and renown she has since achieved that doesn’t change the fact that fame and fortune came too soon.  Like Obama.

Yet, I would vote for her over Obama or Clinton.  Why? That’s easy.  First, she generally has the right views.  Secondly, she is for America.  Finally, and this is really it.  I lied. I still have that loving feeling, but in a different and stronger way.  Now I see her and think of her as a sister or daughter and let me tell you something, you mess with any of them and D&B will be on you like white on rice. 

Ultimately what the left doesn’t get about Sarah is that millions and millions of Americans look at her and think, she reminds me of mom, or sis, or that perky cousin who, did so well after she left the farm.

Most these people don’t think mom, sis or a cousin should be president, but if those people are going to keep picking at her, well let’s just show them and elect her.

Oh well, having Sarah for president would be more fun than having BamBam.  One example, Bambam bows to Muslim Kings.  Sarah will make them shake her hand. Can’t wait for the riots that will cause.
