Jose Maria Aznar Sums Up Obama
Possibly the most shameful moment in Spanish history came when Spain reacted to the Muslim terror attacks of March 11, 2004 by rejecting Jose Maria Aznar in favor of the groveling dhimmi Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. But Aznar is still around, proving there's hope for Spain yet. Here he is on the farcical Obamessiah phenomenon:
A historic exoticism and predictable economic disaster.
If anything is more predictable than the catastrophe The One's insane "stimulus package" will cause, it is moonbats' denunciation of Aznar as having "clear racist roots" (to quote Jose Blanco of Spain's ruling Socialist Party).
Failing to revere the Moonbat Messiah is such a blasphemy, the Chicago Sun-Times uses it to discredit other words of wisdom from Aznar:
Aznar has a history of controversial statements and gaffes. Last October, he dismissed climate change as a "new religion" that is drawing hundreds of billions of euros at a time of economic crisis.
He has also asked why Muslims have never apologized for having conquered Spain and occupied it for eight centuries.
Presumably anyone who doesn't believe these are "gaffes" is enough of a thought criminal to think $1 trillion of pork we can't pay for won't save our economy.
On a tip from nanc.

OT - but could this be true? Chief Justice Roberts agrees to hear the 'Obama is not a natural born citizen' case.

Now that would throw a monkey wrench into things...

So what are Aznar's "gaffes?" The three statements above are certainly controversial, but just as certainly are not gaffes.
The jury is out on Obama's policies (I have my misgivings, but I could be proven wrong), but Aznar's statement re global warming as a new religion (undeniably true, even if one thinks AGW is a problem) and questioning why Muslims have never apologized for conquering Spain are well-taken.

It's too bad we can't elect a foreigner to President [oh wait, we just did]. I'd run Asnar (or others) for the Republican candidate any day. Vaclav Klaus also comes to mind (roll on Czechs!).

Wouldn't it be nice to have Aznar as the new RNC Chairman...

Aznar is a good man, an ally of the US, a staunch NATO supporter and a tax & spend cutting supply sider to boot....

That's a good point. If America is expected to apologize to the Native Americans and Blacks for its past wrongs, and England, Spain, Portugal, et al are expected to apologize for previous imperialism, then why is the Religion of Peace not expected to apologize for its imperialism? I guess colonization is only wrong when westerners do it.

Forget Aznar as the next GOP leader, how 'bout the old scumbag Ed Asner? Good old Eddie is good for a few laughs and then he takes a dirt nap.

Regarding his third statement, about Muslims never having apologized for occupying Spain, I think that's because many Muslims (Especially the radical ones) believe that their occupation of Spain and also of Portugal, were right and justified. I remember seeing on Youtube a clip of part of an episode of that one controversial Hamas kids' show in which a Mickey Mouse ripoff named Farfour teaches Palestinian children to hate Jews and seek to become terrorists. In the clip, not only does a Muslim guy claim that Christians and Jews are happy and well- treated in Muslim- controlled countries (COUGHCOUGHbulls**tCOUGH), he and the little girl who helps cohost the show talk fondly about Andalus (The term for Spain and Portugal, when they were under Muslim rule), and how one day, they will reclaim their rule of that land.

Senor Aznar is in good company on the whole AGW "thing," to include the late Michael Crichton and something like one-half (the reputable half) of all qualified scientists, who can find nothing remotely approaching "proof" that man (more specifically, American men and women) is the cause of non-existent "global warming" (er, excuse me, it's now the catch-all "climate change," as in: "Hey, the Sun is shining. Holy crap! Climate change! The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Arrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!").
Briefly, from J.R. Dunn in 2000: "There's a tendency to put climate in the same mental compartment as geology or astronomy: a continuum in which little or no change occurs in human or historical terms. Given that framework, any appreciable climatic shift takes on the character of a calamity, on the order of an earthquake or asteroid strike.
"In truth, climate is weather writ long, subject to transitions and variations from a number of causes, a point adequately confirmed by the term 'ice age'. Or perhaps not so adequately, since the scale remains too vast. No small part of human history has been affected by climatic shifts, sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic. These shifts are consistently accompanied by changes in temperature, one of the major climatic variables.
"Since the end of the last glacial period, the Wisconsin State (or Würm State, as it's called in Europe) 6 to 7,000 years ago, Earth's climate has shifted repeatedly, with temperature variations looking (very) roughly like this:
"A hot period, the Climatic Optimum (or the Holocene Optimum), between 6 to 5,000 and 3,000 B.C.
"A prolonged cooling (spiked by several warming episodes) through the second millennium B.C., leading to a cold period from 900 to 300.
"A cool period from 300 B.C. to A.D. 750, with a short warming between A.D. 300 and 400.
"Another lengthy warm period from 750 to 1215 called the Little Climatic Optimum (or Medieval Warming Period)."
Typical of short-sighted libs, historical context ("weather writ large") means nothing at all. It's power, power, power . . .

Jose M Anzar hit the nail right on the head aboutt his GLOBAL WARMING poppycock Its a whole bunch of pagan new age wackos who have turned to worshipping false deities like GAIA I mean AL GORE is their high preist

obl has sworn that izlam will take spain BACK.

Far from being apologetic, the diaperheads are in fact offended that Spain was taken BACK from them. They consider that once a territory has become theirs, it's theirs by right in perpetuity. You have "dar el islam", the territory controlled by islam, and "dar el harb", the "house of war" which is any territory not controlled by islam YET and in which acts of war are legitimate.

Obama can't be POTUS.
Since no congressman and senator objected on 1/8/09 to Congress' count and certification of the electoral vote which would have turned resolution of Obama's eligibility issue over to Congress, rendering moot both the Berg and Lightfoot cases, Berg finally does achieve standing on the issue of actual harm, to be addressed at the 1/9/09 SCOTUS Conference on Writ of Certiorari. Obama's failure to submit evidence of his constitutional qualification for the 1/9/09 conference will mean he cannot thereafter challenge Berg's request to enjoin the 1/8/09 Congressional electoral count and certification, albeit retroactive, scheduled for SCOTUS conference 1/16/09. Moreover, Chief Justice Roberts has scheduled a full Court conference on the Lightfoot case 1/23/09 in the event there needs to be a Constitutionally mandated action, the Inauguration itself, to enjoin retroactively.
Checkmate! (WHERE IS THE NEWS MEDIA?)

Aznar is out of his mind.. asking why the muslims didnt apologize for conquering Spain, well, when have the Spanish have apologized for conquering and slaughtering whole central and south america.. People in Spain didnt want to go to Irak, they considered it a misfire, they were willing to support the US in afganistan, but not to go on a wild goose chase after every muslim in the world, so they blamed it on aznar, when muslims bombed madrid train station and thus elected zapatero, who I beleive is not as fit as Aznar, but better fit than that dude Rajoy, a real brickhead.. (remember Aznar was stepping down)
Aznar has had his gaffes, and hes given a interview to the press in a clearly drunk state, I mean the guy is an idiot If he calls Obama and economic disaster (nobody, not even Buffet knows what the heck the markets are gonna do) and calls bush a great statesman.. I mean holy f*cking jumping jesus.. will somebody duct tape his mouth?? Im no Obama lover, but this declarations are outrageous, that he decides to turn the blind eye on todays world and say US elected Obama based on "historic exoticism" like electing a president black "to see what happens" I trully see if it wasnt for these absolutely critical times, Obama wouldnt even have had a chance, but it is not "exoticism" lol.. it gives me tummy ache.. I would kindly tell him to shut the F up, like the king did to chaves..
