Ever notice how casually liberals spew out any kind of unreferenced statement that then requires correction by a conservative?



The latest liberal lie ("The Japanese were prosecuted by the U.S. for water-boarding after WWII") is particularly revealing since it suggests that now with BO at the helm, liberals aren't even trying to disguise their seditious intent as "patriotism" anymore.

Notre Dame Shame: The Saga Continues on Video

Megyn Kelly this morning on the Fox News Channel was the only one who kept (relatively) cool during a knock-down, drag-out debate between Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League and Robert Boston, representing Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

The two articulate gents were discussing the ongoing scandal surrounding the invite to President Obama to deliver the commencement address at the University of Notre Dame and to receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree next Sunday. To say that decision to invite and to confer an award on a proud, outspoken proponent of every conceivable method of extinguishing human life in the womb has caused an uproar would be massive understatement.

With Megyn acting as referee, Donohue and Boston went at it tooth and claw. Had they both been in the studio together without a ref, it would have ended in a true donnybrook.

The most salient point scored in the confrontation was Donohue’s very valid analogy that giving Obama ”an honorary degree, would be like Howard University giving David Duke a degree in racial politics,” to which Boston responded, “That’s offensive,” to which Donahue retorted, “No, what’s offensive is you.”

They verbally beat one another over the head and shoulders over an issue which is really pretty cut and dried: Should any institution, in this case a renouned Catholic university, abnegate a fundamental principle, in this case a foundational belief that the act of aborting a pre-born infant is morally and ethically repugnant and unacceptable, reward with honors and recognition an active advocate who promotes said immoral and unethical abortions, no matter who he is?

In this case the advocate just happens to be the President of the United States but should any individual be exempted and any moral principle be sacrificed for expedience or for any other reason?

I say, Nay, and so too did Bill Donahue say, Nay!

See here for the video of the debate: http://conservativexpress.blogspot.com/2009/05/catholic-league-presidentto-give-obama.html and here for more background on the “controversy:” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/08/archbishop-slams-obama-appearance-notre-dame-administrations-abortion-policies/.

For anyone who professes to believe in the sanctity of human life or who believes that firm moral principles take precedence over all else, even in South Bend, Indiana, there is no controversy.

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke
Irish orator, philosopher, & politician (1729 - 1797)

I will only add that all that is necessary for Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins to redeem himself and endorse good over evil is for him to rescind his invitation to Barack Obama. By so doing, he will also be redeeming the honor and good name of Notre Dame.

Nancy Pelosi vs Reality

There’s nothing wrong with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that a pre-frontal lobotomy, wouldn’t cure. That may be wishful thinking, however.

The first woman Speaker in America’s history, the first Italo-American, and the first Californian to serve in that post, in her first 3 1/2 months in office Pelosi has set back for decades the causes of women, Italian Americans, and Californians to be recognized as rational human beings.

Hold the brickbats! I was just trying to slur Pelosi half as much as she has slurred Americans in her short tenure. I firmly believe that it is far better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt but even if she stood mute, Pelosi could as well hide her Botox-addiction as she could hide her foolery.

I’m trying to rationalize What Makes Nancy Tick.

It could be due to her vainglory at presiding in the prestigious position as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America which has gone to her head. It could be her cockiness arising from the fact she is one of the richest politicians in the land and yet a Democrat, a member of the “Party of the People.” It could be her awareness of the very scary thought that she sits two heartbeats from the presidency and that realization has warped whatever grey matter she started out with.

Whether due to her hubris, her personal wealth, terror, or sheer stupidity, Pelosi continues to outdo herself in craziness and lies. She must meditate on those lies on her long flights home to her palatial pad on Pacific Heights. As a pro-abortion “Catholic,” she must also reflect on that incongruity.

Or, maybe not.

Referred to by her many merciless but accurate detractors with such epithets as “Lady Crazy Eyes,” ”dumb as soap,” “Bella Pelosi,” and other less laudable and unprintable descriptions, Speaker Pelosi is now trying to deny she ever knew anything about waterboarding as a method to induce terrorists to spill their guts on which American cities will next be attacked. Now she wants a “truth” panel to clear the air: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/04/23/2009-04-23_pelosi_ups_pressure_for_truth_panel_on_torture.html.

The air is already as clear as it was when the Obamanians sent an Air Force One lookalike to tour the skies over New York City with F 16’s in apparent hot pursuit. The intent was to capture the Statue of Liberty and President Obama joined as one. The result was scaring the bejusus out of tens of thousands of New Yorkers, all for a photo-op.

Even the Obamian stalwart and media lackey, the Washington Post, reported that the CIA fully briefed then Democratic ranking member of the House Pelosi on the use of such “harsh interrogation techniques” as waterboarding: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitol-briefing/2009/05/cia_says_pelosi_was_briefed_on.html

(Memo to Pelosi: CIA=Central Intelligence Agency.)

Not surprisingly, like Sgt. Hans Schultz of the old “Hogan’s Heroes,” would say, Sgt. Pelosi “knew nutink!”

Bottom line, Mrs. Speaker, is whether “harsh interrogation techniques” of any kind are morally worse than the murder of many tens of thousands, perhaps millions, in the next 9/11? Or does re-election supersede moral concerns?

She also knew nothing when she denounced the enforcement of America’s immigration laws as “un-American.” She was shocked, shocked, I tell you, . . .

Liberal states have less personal freedom (duh)

According to a new study released by the Mercatus Center of George Mason University, some of the most liberal U.S. states rank lowest when it comes to personal freedom.[...]

# he freest states in the country are New Hampshire, Colorado, and South Dakota, which together achieve a virtual tie for first place. All three states feature low taxes and government spending -- and middling levels of regulation and paternalism.

# New York is the least overall free by a considerable margin, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, and Maryland.[...]

“The problem is that the cultural values of liberal governments seem on balance to require more regulation of individual behavior than do the cultural values of conservative governments,” say the study’s authors. “While liberal states are freer than conservative states on marijuana and same-sex partnership policies, when it comes to gun owners, home schoolers, motorists, or smokers, liberal states are nanny states, while conservative states are more tolerant.”

Le Emperor Obama bans commoners from D-Day celebrations

The 65th Anniversary of D-Day is fast approaching. Barack Obama will attend the events on June 6th as George Bush did in 2004 for the sixtieth memorial service. Here is the rub, as of now Obama’s State Department has asked (read demanded) the French government not allow tour guide services to operate that day. It is a big day for Normandy tourism. Yet, the king will not allow those not connected with government to enjoy the day. Obama is very important you know. This is an unprecedented request. I hope the French come to their senses and deny it.

Queen's Trinity Cross of the Order of Trinity scrapped for offending Muslims and Hindus

A medal established by the Queen is being withdrawn after it was declared unlawful and offensive to Muslims and Hindus.

The cross-shaped honour - The Trinity Cross of the Order of Trinity - has been handed to distinguished members of the former colony of Trinidad and Tobago.

Cricketers Brian Lara and Garfield Sobers are among those who have received the medal along with diplomats and politicians.

The Christian name and cross are now being replaced with the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago - a circular medal featuring a sun, stars, water and a map of the islands.

The Privy Council, made up of 12 law lords, ruled the merit decoration was unlawful because it discriminates against non-Christians.

Now other honours are being reviewed over their references to Christian Saints or symbols.
