Obama Gets Tough On Iran
by Pat_S on November 20, 2009A post by Pat Just kidding. The world began anew when the Bowing Fanny plopped into the chair in the Oval Office. Thirty years of hostility from Iran would dissolve in the presence of The One. Obama strikes such a fine figure and makes some rip-roaring speeches, surely he must be smarter than everyone when it comes to peacemaking. Patience, mutual respect and humility will win over the madmen. When it became obvious it wasn’t going to happen exactly like that with Iran, analysts generously gave Obama the benefit of the doubt that his naivete was actually a clever ploy to put other countries in a bind when it came time to impose harsh sanctions. It was his master plan....

Another Fake Prize for a Fake Leader
by Tammy on November 19, 2009Maybe he’ll wear it when he picks up the Nobel on December 10th. Obama to Receive Honorary Taekwondo Belt U.S. President Barack Obama will be given an honorary taekwondo belt to mark his first visit to Korea on Wednesday and Thursday. A government official said that President Lee Myung-bak will present Obama with an honorary taekwondo degree certificate and a uniform embroidered with his name. Obama practiced taekwondo for about four years with an American master in Chicago from 2001 while he was serving in the Illinois state senate. He obtained a green belt. Meanwhile, the government has yet to choose whether to serve the traditional Korean rice wine makgeolli or a Californian wine during the welcome luncheon on Thursday....

SEIU’s Turf War with an Eagle Scout
by Pat_S on November 19, 2009A post by Pat A warning to anyone who plans to answer Obama’s call for volunteerism, check with the SEIU first. Kevin Anderson, a 15-yr old Eagle Scout, voluntarily worked 250 hours to clear a walking path in a local park. The president of the local SEIU chapter considers the park his turf and went looking for Kevin. Union troubled by Eagle Scout project in Allentown Anderson, a junior and varsity soccer player at Southern Lehigh High School, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 301 of Center Valley. He got the idea for the trail while taking hikes along the partially complete, 165-mile Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. He noticed there were a few missing connections to the...

Hate Studies — Orwellian New Academic Field
by Pat_S on November 18, 2009A post by Pat The smart people are going to study and define hate then teach the kids how to be agents for social change. What could go wrong? Political Correctness was an amusing loony left notion in the beginning, giving male names to hurricanes, spelling “woman” “womin”, quirky things like that. It got seriously irritating when we had to drop Christmas for The Winter Festival, but PC kept rolling along. It continued getting worse over the years while we all learned to self-censor our thoughts and actions to the point of getting 13 people killed at Fort Hood. Sane people think it’s finally time to pull back from PC. The radicals think it’s time to kick it up a...

The Dogs of War!
by Maynard on November 18, 2009A post by Maynard It’s heartwarming when soldiers return from the field of battle to be reunited with their loved ones. Of course I wouldn’t want to understate the importance of the homecoming with regard to wives and children and the like. But the pièce de résistance is the reunion with the family pooch. Could anyone possibly disagree? For more canine celebration videos, see this blog page.

Fox News Touches Obama
by Tammy on November 17, 2009Perhaps he should bring some Purell with him. Major Garrett, that is. Fox’s Major Garrett gets interview with Obama Fox and the administration have been in a public fight since former White House communications director Anita Dunn said the network acted like the research or communications arm of the Republican Party. The president pointedly avoided Fox when he gave a round of interviews to Sunday shows about his health care plan. Garrett, Fox’s senior White House correspondent and a CNN reporter before moving to Fox, will have 10 minutes with the president. Other network correspondents traveling with the president — Chip Reid of CBS, Chuck Todd of NBC and Ed Henry of CNN — will also get interviews. ABC gave...

The Feds New Mammography Guidelines
by Tammy on November 17, 2009Make no mistake, this is the result of Obama’s Deathcare, and it hasn’t even passed yet, but they think it will. I’ve sounded the alarm bell for you for months now–once the gubmint is in charge of everything and paying for everything, all will be cut or rationed. The CDC via their new Task Force on the issue has reversed what had been a clarion call for women to be vigilant with mammography screenings after 40. Now they’re saying nevermind, you really don’t need them until after 50, and then not so often. The bottom line–sure their will be some casualties but compared to the money saved, it’ll be worth it. Make no mistake–this has nothing to do with women’s...

Here’s What Happens When You Treat Terrorists Like Common Criminals
by Maynard on November 16, 2009A post by Maynard Does anybody remember Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman? He was the blind Egyptian cleric who was associated with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He was plotting numerous additional bomb attacks, which were thankfully prevented by his 1993...

A Bow to Sir Charles
by Pat_S on November 16, 2009A post by Pat Charles Krauthammer had a few choice words for the President’s behavior overseas. First the toe dive and then Obama’s declaration of being the first Pacific President. Well, that was definitely a world class bow in Tokyo. …there was a second incident that I found interesting when the President declared himself the first Pacific President. That’s because he grew up and spent some of his childhood in Hawaii, and in Indonesia and his mom took him on a visit to Japan, although all he remembers of that, as he says, was the ice cream. The first Pacific President? Well, Teddy Roosevelt, he built the Panama Canal in order to make the United States a Pacific power and...

Sarah on Oprah
by Pat_S on November 16, 2009A post by Pat The greatly anticipated Oprah interview with Sarah Palin has just aired in the Eastern time zone. We heard a lot of advance info about it so there really aren’t any surprises. It was great to see Sarah again. They talked about the McCain’s team handling of the pregnancy announcement, wardrobes and makeovers. Sarah says she never had a script to stay on and was not told about the campaign dropping out of Michigan. Then there’s the infamous Couric question about reading materials. (ABC has blocked embedding) Sarah makes some poignant remarks about her and Todd’s reaction to the news of a Down Syndrome baby coming their way. I can understand that Palin would have been annoyed...
