Decent speech by the President at the
memorial service for the Fort Hood victims, but why does doing or
saying the right thing always seem to take him longer than it should?
When
I hear a Democrat say 'bipartisanship' I hear 'we need a Republican on
board to blame when our idea doesn't work'. And yet the Republicans
fall for it over and over. Time to replace the elephant with a picture
of Charlie Brown holding a football.
Robin Williams once joked about English law enforcement procedure concerning unarmed police faced with a
fleeing criminal: Stop, or I'll say stop again.
Who knew years later this would be adopted as Obama administration
policy toward Iran, and North Korea, and Afghanistan, and terrorism,
and you get the idea? The only thing that so far has warranted a
stronger Obama stand is the destruction of criticism and dissent.
Anyone
see the photo-op cheshire cat grin of Imelda Pelosi being serenaded by
fellow Democrats applause Saturday night, after the passing of that
unconstitutional health care bill? I can't see that picture without
adding the caption 'Look how much money I just spent'.
Can someone please tell Bill Clinton that the real conspiracy is how Al Gore is
still somehow living on
the government dime.
Where'd all the war protesters go?
Before
the
moon was bombed shouldn't we have given UN sanctions a chance, or at
the
least sent Hillary Clinton there to open a dialogue? Maybe even add the
moon to the presidential apology tour list for landing there in the
first place.
I guess its safe to assume that the wind beneath Bette Midlers' wings isn't Glenn Beck.
The
NFL
and its esteemed commissioner Roger Goodell carry the scent of
hypocrisy once again. Goodell couldn't even hold Larry
Johnsons' actual homophobic comments to the same standard as he did the
imagined comments attributed to Rush Limbaugh.
What is diversity? Hearing a caller to a national sports radio show
saying Limbaugh is blatantly racist because he's from Missouri, and
that the Midwest is naturally racist because there's 'no diversity' has
me concerned. Is diversity a region predominately white but with varying opinions stemming from differing ethnic and religious
influences, or is diversity represented by a political party whose members
all parrot the exact same words?
I guess diversity means Democrat.
Why is it whenever a member of the US Politburo, sorry, Congress, cites a statistic or percentage it
sounds like they've made it up that very second?
If
anything written here led you to believe I'm Republican, not hardly. I
left back in 1990. Watching The Dede and Newt Funtime Road Show further
cemented my feeling that Republicans are low-cal Democrats. Flipping
the bird to the voters they're supposed to be courting by running
candidates like John McCain and Dede Scozzafava, and then trying to justify it with a
bend-over-and-accept-it attitude is a great way to ru(i)n a political
party. Do I support third parties? No, but I understand the anger and
frustration that comes from being ignored by the party leaders who've
been holed up in DC for so long that they've lost the ability to relate
to, or for that matter even talk and listen to, ordinary people.
If either party spent even half
as much time protecting the greater interests of the country as they do playing politics they'd never lose another election.
