USATODAYGALLUP: Poll Danger Signs; Obama Tracking Lower Than Carter...

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/presidential-approval-tracker.htm

Check out this video of a Democrat tool getting laughed at and jeered by his constituents at a townhall meeting promoting ObamaCare.

Pay particular attention to the middle aged woman in the blue striped shirt in the video. She's grinning smugly through the whole thing. Then, when Kevin Jackson calls out "If it's so great, why isn't Congress on it?" Her face falls like a melting glacier.

"MSM Silent on Discovery of Planned Honduras Vote Fraud"

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/msm-silent-on-discovery-of-planned-honduras-vote-fraud/

40 Years Ago, America landed on the moon, and moonbats were already protesting about it:

A 25 person delegation from the Poor People’s Campaign, led by Rev. Ralph Abernathy (Martin Luther King’s successor), came to the Apollo 11 launch at Cape Canaveral “to protest America’s inability to choose human priorities,”

Never mind that the entire Apollo program cost less than three months of Federal social spending.

Mean-spirited Views on the UAW, Terrorists, & Cronkite

If what follows seems un-Christian and unforgiving, so be it.

UAW Woes: Times are tough in Detroit and wherever else United Auto Workers live or used to work. I have great empathy for anyone, UAW member or no, who have lost their jobs and who may never regain them.

The UAW people most probably will never get another job with the pay scales and bennies they reveled in at GM, Chrysler, and Ford.

Hourly pay in excess of $70, unrivalled health care, sick days, and pensions, right of refusal to transfer, 80% salary when they so refuse, even a UAW country club to help make their cares go away, were just the tip of the iceberg of life as an autoworker who typically earned his position by graduating high school.

The UAW knowingly drove their companies into bankruptcy with their rapacious demands and even then produced vehicles notorious for shoddy workmanship that all but begged the Japanese, Germans, and South Koreans to come on over and win the allegiance of the American car-buyer.

The foreigners obliged, eventually overcame the bloated aristocracy and over-indulged peons of the UAW and captured larger and larger slices of the American car-pie market. Then GM and Chrysler went bust and Ford is now treading water.

Undismayed, the companies turned to whom else but the guy they had bought in the last election and he paid them back. Obama gave GM to the UAW and helped give Chrysler to the Italians: http://bit.ly/7qZIy.

Recall the days not very far back when the judicious car-buyer was warned not to buy a vehicle which rolled off assembly lines on a Monday or Friday when subs filled in for the thousands of absent UAW members? Payback can be a bitch, but not always in the USA.

Times are tough all over but the UAW and the auto narons brought on their own plight. Many workers may end up repairing fridges or servicing Fiats but all can take solace in the knowledge that the American taxpayer bailed out their profligacy.

Even temporary victory must be sweet.

Terrorist Ultimata: Last week brought some distressing news. ”The Guantanamo war court stalled again overnight when the five men accused of the Sept 11 attacks refused to leave their cells for a hearing at the remote US base in Cuba. ”

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and his trusty comrades in arms, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, are accused of conspiracy to murder civilians on September 11th, 2001 and have proudly admitted their responsibility. However, in a semi-final act of sheer contempt for America, they’re being un-cooperative.

Oh, really?

These (accused) dregs of humanity thought it all over and decided they will not make an appearance before an American court of justice? These (alleged) murderers of thousands of Americans chose not to attend their hearings unless they were permitted to make opening statements? These (suspected) terrorists are allowed to dictate their own terms?

Excuse me?

I don’t know who is more unbelievable in this farce. Is it the American government and prosecutors who entertained the thought of that boycott for more time than it took them to recover from guffawing or the snarling terrorists who sought to ridicule and abuse our justice system?

Since we can’t do this to those Americans, I suggest we shackle, muzzle, and drag the accused kicking and screaming beneath . . .

Critics Slam Overweight Surgeon General Pick, Regina Benjamin

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=8129947&page=1

Fat drunk and happy IS a way to go through life.

The clips of angry people reaming politicians is really adding up. Gateway Pundit has a few more.

Astonishing that none of you have displayed any outrage at Fox analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters statement yesterday the Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl is a "deserter", and that the Taliban could save us "alot of time and money".The Pentagon has issued a statement that there is no evidence that he is a deserter. You guys are so bent on President Obama, or how much the First Lady's shoes cost, that you ignore such a irresponsible statement.

Notice how the left never gives a damn about the troops until they can use one as a right-bashing talking point?

Kyle, you get "Bent".

And yet still no outrage about what Peters said. Even Fox host Julie Banderas was baffled at his comment. So, let me guess, it's "Support the Troops" only the GOP is in charge? Gregory, my work with Vets and now service dogs has been ambitious and fulfilling to all involved. So, do not even try the bs with me.

You missed a point those creepy hands should be dripping with the blood of the inocents

Gregory's video link is priceless. Made my day to see that imbecile Russ Carnahan (D-MO) and his panel of leftist supporters getting heckled. How arrogant and patronizing to keep spewing the party line crap about saving money. These fools can't confront the truth, so like many anonymous trolls here, just keep spouting off the party propaganda. And the comment "If it's so great, why isn't Congress on it?" absolutely sank their black hearts. That should be our motto - "If Obamacare's so great, let Congress be the first enrollees." Let those insipid snakes like Carnahan be the canary in the coal mine.

I Can't decide if the hag in the striped shirt reminds me more like Bond villaness Rosa Klebb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Klebb, or the marxist woman who Dr. Zhivago confronts after Gromeko's house has been apportioned by the revolutionary government to accommodate 20 or 30 other people.

Like Dr. Zhivago, conservatives are more concerned with the welfare of individuals than with the welfare of politically favored groups, which in Zhivago's time was construed as anti-Marxist by the Soviets. Now we conservatives unfortunately find ourselves in something of Zhivago's distopian world, wrangling with leftists to preserve the welfare, liberty and healthcare of individuals, and protecting America as we know and love it from the twisted manicles of Obamacare.

I wonder if Kyle's talking points and work with service dogs is related at all to being a bouncy democrat who supports Al Franken.

Cowlove, my efforts with with service dogs and rescued dogs dates back to my teens. I have taken in dogs of soldiers who have been deployed. and assisted in training dogs into the service effort. Franken's forthcoming legislation is encouraging. I am also in the process of booking Vets with service dogs on some radio shows.

Astonishing though, still no outrage over Peters statement, now it's about trying to discredit me. Reflect on the statement guys...

Meh, link to it. And to be honest, if something is recent headlines I always question when a liberal who spends his time arguing on the internet claims it.

Even before you link to it, if someone is saying shitty things about military personnel, piss on them. Nuff said. D or R, I have no patience for it. Unfortunately, if it happens to be an R, you can bet your ass it's the exception that proves the rule, as your fierce clinging to it clearly shows.

But, even with your shortcomings, if you're supporting vets how you claim, good on you.

Cowlove, well thank you. I don't know this blog at all, so I picked a random one from Google.
http://hotairpundit.blogspot.com/2009/07/colonel-ralph-peters-on-captured.html
His statement has alot Vets very pissed, and as I said, even the rookie host did not know how to react. His statement endangers the lives of any soldier captured, period. I just expect, that any Conservative or Liberal with any decency not call the guy on it. So, thank you for your thoughts on it. As Jay likes to point, in his mind I "a well paid whore" and I see alot right leaning blogs, and none have covered.

Astonishing though, still no outrage over Peters statement, now it's about trying to discredit me.

You are not worth outrage, and you do a fine job at discrediting yourself with your childish pleas for outrage and your rote regurgitation of left-wing talking points.

SRSLY, I am not going to get outraged because a pissant troll tells me I'm supposed to be outraged. Nor do I take trolls at their word for what they claim to do in meatspace; especially when their claimed profession is "oh-so-convenient" to the topic of the day.

On the internet, no one knows you're a dog. Your arguments either stand on their own, or they don't. Yours don't.

If Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl is a "deserter", or not,
It’s up to a military court to decide.
In the mean time I agree with Sarah Palin, lets all pray for his safe return.
God bless our Troops.

I think ghosty is having a "Sybil" kind of experience,how many people are you ghosty?

Stoopid kyle wellstoned somehow doesn't get the whole point of this blog, which is to make fun of moonbats. When he can't challenge what's been said, he gets all bent out of shape when we're not outraged by what he wants us to be. Aww. Some guy may have said something stupid, sounds like he did, but it's OFF TOPIC for the thread, as well as OUTSIDE THE FOCUS of the entire blog. Go blog about it yourself, little boy, and get your usual zero comments. Don't expect us to jump.

kyle/goat;
Some of us are UNAWARE of said incident. Unlike Liberals, we do not tune in to certain news reports to get the latest talking point or fad to be spread around to world.

No "gotcha!" here.

"Mr Evilwrench at July 21, 2009 1:53 PM"

How can GOAT be off-topic on an Open Thread?

Sybil? That Kyle and GOW are clearly spelled out on my blog and elsewhere, it is hardly a "Sybil" moment.

Evil, apparently "Open Thread" confuses you.It is open to whatever the news of the day/week may be. I just find it ironic that while for years you guys attacked the left for "Not Supporting our Troops" yet the rights silence on Peters is deafening. I applaud Cowlove for actually recognizing that. Are you so arrogant that eagerly wait for Helsing's posts in order to bash liberals, that you ignore the actions of Conservatives...even when they are clearly wrong? Evil, your hate for liberals is spelled out. However, you need to get over yourself a bit a realize that both the right and left have contributed to the problems America faces.

Intimations of Destiny Part One: The Paper Tiger Surrenders in Pieces

I had the pleasure of visiting with a member of the newest generation last weekend, not with teenagers who, whether they like it or not, are really part of the present generation, but with my 2 year old grandson.

With all the upheaval going on in Washington where Obama is so obsessed with radical change for its own sake and throughout the planet where revolutionary and terrorist forces are in play to complement Obama’s radicalism in their own land and in their own ways, his future isn’t promising.

Other movements are also disquieting for him and his generation.

In a number of quarters we are witnessing efforts to unseat the formerly almighty dollar as the world’s preeminent currency of exchange. If successful as they very well may be, those efforts may not alter Americans’ day-to-day life at first but would be a clear signal that the “American Era,” our dominance over world affairs, is over.

The long-term effects of what lay ahead, perhaps the China Era, as many believe, may be conjectural but in no way suggest good tidings for the United States and its approximately 305 million citizens, or for my kids and grandkids.

More imminent than Sino supremacy over the planet and its peoples and the resultant effects on our country is the matter of wars we are about to lose, lose for the same reasons we lost the last two–the lack of a resolve to win.

One of those current wars, the most consequential by far, is the War on Terror which has unilterally been suspended by the Obama administration due to a lack of interest in favor of his naive hands across the seas policies.

As with any war, if the opponent concurred in the suspension of hostilities, we would be in a state of truce. If not, as is the case with Islamic terrorists, we would be, and are, in a seriously disadvantaged and dangerous position.

Our president is so enamored of himself that he seems to believe that if he extends his, America’s, open hand in friendship and conciliation, Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will unclench his smarmy fist. Mahmoud has already and repeatedly shown that Iran’s fist is still very much clenched, save that one middle finger salute in our direction.

I have no idea what Obama really expects from his make-nice policies toward America’s unrepentant enemies. However, you could sooner anticipate the lamb lying down with the lion at night and believing it will be grazing when the sun rises than expect Iran in 2009 to extend an unclenched fist.

It matters not that the American hand has been rebuffed and bitten by the Persian lion. Hope springs eternal for this ass of a president with whom we are burdened and who almost makes one yearn for a return of the most incompetent leader in our history, bumbling Jimmy Carter.

Barack Obama is a man-in-waiting for that mantle of most grossly, naively incompetent commander-in-chief to be conferred on him. Based on his first six months, he is clearly on target.

It won’t be conferred as a result of China’s machinations and its economic boom which will take a while. It will be rightfully awarded when Obama retreats under fire and loses the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, probably within the next two years or less but definitely after the 2010 congressional elections.

Obama will slog through at least until December, 2010 after which he can with relative safety run, hide, and surrender and keep the baying hounds of the Left at bay and stop their sniping at his heels, all the while pretending he wanted to win in the first place.

The irony is that he, we, will lose those wars not because of Obamian initiatives and lack thereof but because he will mindlessly pursue the same initiatives and lack thereof which led to our defeats in Korea and Viet Nam.

One of America’s greatest generals, Douglas MacArthur,

was eerily prescient of America’s decline and fall as a great power half a century ago when spoke the memorable line that was disregarded and forgotten by our leaders the moment it was uttered.

“In war there is no substitute for victory,” said MacArthur, a truism that speaks for itself yet has been ignored since it was spoken.

Removed from command as Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers by President Truman in 1951 for insubordination, MacArthur technically was fired for refusing to heed the president’s orders. In fact he was dismissed for failure to cease and desist in his attempts to achieve victory in Korea.

(For a concise and scholarly account of the Truman-MacArthur Korean conflict, see http://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-17-3-b.html.)

Harry Truman was absolutely correct in overruling MacArthur’s impertinence. It was his right and duty as America’s civilian commander to exert his authority under the Constitution. He was absolutely wrong, however, in disregarding MacArthur’s insights and premonitions.

The consequences: . . .

Not being judgmental, just providing a favorite quote:

"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." - Mark Twain

I applaud Cowlove for actually recognizing that.

Please don't. I feel no need to dance for you as you demand outrage from the right wing in general for this or that topic of the day. My comment was pure common sense. As Evilwrench said, if you feel it's so crucial and important, spread it to your audience on your own blog.

Can't help but wonder if Goatse was "outraged" when elected Democrats like John Murtha accused soldiers of being cold-blooded killers; or when elected Democrats John Kerry and Barack Obama accused them of needlessly terrorizing civilians.

As for Ralph Peters, I think he ought to have waited until there was more confirmed evidence before making his accusations; but desertion is certainly a dishonorable act; especially in wartime. We don't owe deserters any honor, but we ought to have some confirmation first.

We have the "Ghost of Kyle" now???

What's up with that?

Naked Cowboy to run for mayor of New York

He actually sounds like he's planning to run on a platform of fiscal conservatism:

""No one knows how to do more with less than yours truly, and that's the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers when you elect me," said Robert Burck, announcing his bid to run against Mayor Michael Bloomberg."

Also, this is awesome:

"Dressed in nothing but a cowboy hat, boots, and a pair of white underpants emblazoned with the words "Naked Cowboy," Burck earns about 1,000 dollars a day with his busking."

Good for him.

Obamacare includes racial biases for medical schools

I did express my disdain for Murtha's statements, and Kerry and Obama's words were supported by a number of soldiers, but I do believe they should have kept their mouths shut. Soldiers are still writing of the actions that were described. It is for them to discuss, and not for D.C. politicians to specualte.

As far as Peters, the Pentagon has said, there is no evidence that Bergdahl deserted. So, I don't know where you get "more evidence" from.

The more I read about this guy the more I hope he ousts Bloomberg:

In a 2005 online interview, Burck cited Nancy Reagan and Garth Brooks as two of his leading inspirations. During the 2008 American presidential election Burck was a staunch supporter of John McCain, remarking that the Republican candidate was "older and wiser" than his opponent Barack Obama.[1] Additionally, on November 22, 2008, he became an ordained minister, and on December 10, 2008 he was officially registered as a marriage officiant by the City of New York.[2]

Obamas sullen angry somber look as he toured the Ghana Slave Fortress was lost on many. This is capital for him . He will play it for all its worth. Never will Sharpton, Obama and his ilk ever stop playing the race card. it works to well for them and its so darn easy.

Posted by: Kyle at July 21, 2009 8:10 PM

...Kerry and Obama's words were supported by a number of soldiers,

Oh really? So, are these soldiers being brought to justice for their admissions of guilt in 'air raiding villages' and 'bombing civilians' ?

but I do believe they should have kept their mouths shut. Soldiers are still writing of the actions that were described. It is for them to discuss, and not for D.C. politicians to specualte.

You know what, it's reeeeeal interesting how in all of these supposed incidents, 'a number' of soldiers magically pop up to claim that they were there and saw [someone else] blowing up civilians or running over dogs, or whatever else. What else is reeeeeal interesting is that their testimony is always thrown out of any self-respecting court and their idiotic stories generally debunked by anyone with a modicum of military knowledge.

But hey, as long as 'a number' of soldiers, who support Democratic politics and are opposed to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (being fought by the volunteer army to which they signed up) can be dredged up by the NYT to make poorly thought out claims, I guess it's okay for the guy who is now the president and the guy who was almost president four years ago to accuse soldiers of war crimes without any proof. Or something.

Hey, quick takeaway question -- why is it that none of these 'whistleblower' soldiers ever end up being charged for the crimes they claim to have taken part in, and neither does anyone else?

You beat me to it, Mandible Claw!!

".....a number of soldiers".....yes, a really, really low number.....

Truly a doomsday scenario: Global warming causes smaller sheep

Contra Goatse, Questions have been raised about the circumstances of Bergdahl's possession by the Taliban. The details are contradictory and unconfirmed, so Mr. Peters was out-of-line to jump on them. On the other hand, we should keep an open mind. We don't want to be like the left and only accept as valid evidence that supports our prejudices.

Knife crimes a problem in Britain

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8161880.stm

Funny, I thought once they banned guns in Britain, crime would go away. Strange how that works, huh?

Hellz yeah I hate the left, and I do know that people "not-left" (won't admit to most of them actually being "right" these days) flake out once in a while as well. As to the thread, I was far enough down the comments a conversation had developed & I thought it was a different thread. Do pay attention to which blog you're on, though.

Schadenfreude: Harvard University, the Moonbat Factory on the Charles, is broke. The producers of the government elites that will run health care at peak efficiency and with savings to the economy seem to have lavishly spent and expanded themselves into too much debt with no way to pay for it.

Interesting... Reading an article in a local magazine, entitled "Why the Marriott Was A Target," about the bombings of the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta last week.

Have tried to find this online but it seems to only be in the print edition.

"For some people [the Marriott] is a symbol of the Jews hated by the whole world," said Abu Rusdan, a former leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah group."

But, wait, all the leftists who swear they're not terrorist apologists claim that Muslims don't really hate Jews, they just hate Israel's specific actions in the Gaza Strip.

How very interesting that a former leader of the (Al Qaeda-affiliated) Southeast Asian terrorist group would cite 'Jews' as a reason for attacking Western hotels in Indonesia...

In the Mumbai attacks a few months back, you may remember that a synagogue was also targeted, and the rabbi who ran it, and his pregnant wife, were tortured to death in front of their infant son.

Maybe there's something to those unfounded claims by right-wing racists who think all Muslims are terrorists, that Jews mysteriously end up being specially singled out in Muslim terror attacks across the world, who knew.

L.A. PARKER: Rockin' the White House master bedroom

Published: Thursday, January 22, 2009

Now that President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, have danced their night away on a night that they seemed more like newlyweds than our nation’s most noticeable company, let’s take care of one undiscussed topic.

The prez, after what seemed like a hundred nuzzles of his wife’s neck, cute smooches on her waiting lips, and whispers that seemed to perk the First Lady’s interests, looked like he was working his way toward a successful bedroom diplomacy strategy.

Mr. Obama may have talked war strategies with military leaders yesterday, but early Wednesday morning after a night of semi-dirty dancing, there is no doubt here that our nation’s newest leading couple were rockin’ the president’s bedroom.

Michelle Obama’s stunning gown produced by 26-year-old Jason Wu likely was dropped onto a carpet or tossed onto a nearby winged-back chair.

You can imagine Mr. Barack asking that timeless bedroom question, “What’s my name?”

Michelle Obama probably delivered a loving answer of “Mr. President,” and the pair consummated a new stage of their relationship.

No idea what you're talking about. If Col. Peters claimed the guy is a deserter, without proof, then yes, that is outrageous.

Funny though, that you'd put that story up in a thread where we'd just been discussing claims made (without proof) by Democrat politicians - including the President - that U.S. soldiers were committing war crimes.

Presume we can expect a level of outrage from your good self proportionate to the relative prominence of the President of the US and some no-name mil analyst on Fox?
