Moonbats encounter reality, forced to consider slightly less moonbatty views:

Code Pink, after actually travelling to Afghanistan and talking to the locals, now aren't so sure that an immediate pullout is a good idea:

"During their weeklong visit here, in which they met with government officials, politicians, ministers, women activists, and civil society groups, the small team of Code Pink members had hoped to gather evidence to bolster their call for US troop withdrawal within two years, and capitalize on growing anxiety back home about the war."

"That's where we have opened ourselves, being here, to some other possibilities. We have been feeling a sense of fear of the people of the return of the Taliban. So many people are saying that, 'If the US troops left the country, would collapse. We'd go into civil war.' A palpable sense of fear that is making us start to reconsider that." - Code Pink spokesshrew Medea Benjamin

Bush may have been a cowboy but at least he was respected. Bush had a military that other world leaders new that he would use to get the job done. If others didn't respect him they were scared of him. Zero is a laughing stock. World leaders know he won't use the military. Hell, some won't even shake his hand. The only people scared of Oblahblah are the American people. Zero has the FBI, ATF, IRS, etc he can use against us and I'm sure he will. As the title says, "Epic Failure", that ain't no lie.

And before the pussified lib's start harking on, "but Irans been pursuing nuclear weapons while W was president". I'm sure Iran was waiting for B-1s and B-2s to deliver special gifts also. Under Oblahblah they found a tool they can manhandle and not worry. And I'm positive the Oblahblah loves to be manhandled, he is such a pussy.

Some trolls here had some (reflexive) doubts about Ayers as the author of BO's nightmarish book, Dreams.

Since they might read but not understand the research that went into the revelation, how about Ayer's own words?

http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2009/10/bill-ayers-no-dream.html

Not conclusive, and you would not expect anything Ayers ever says to be direct, but the evidence builds to a point where reasonable people can conclude with the certainty that the sun will rise tomorrow, that BO is a low-class, street-common liar.

Actually, I meant to add that Ayers' admission is "Not conclusive" for the reason that Ayers himself is a known liar.

Barack Obama has this hanging in the White House.

This is not a joke, oddly enough.

I would have suggested a flat panel that simply says 'present' on it.

Dirty Dave’s Bunker Mates

In Japan, a guy in David Letterman’s sticky situation would already have offed himself via a traditional harikari.

I mean, hey, the man was forced under duress to go public with the sordid tale of his smarmy sex life with a still-undisclosed number of female staffers over a still-undisclosed time span and new revelations of his affairs are popping up almost daily.

Now it’s been revealed that the randy roué maintained a secret sex den at the Ed Sullivan Theater to which he would repair with any number of female employees, giving a whole new meaning to bonus time on “The Tonight Show.”

One would think America’s feminists, who are rarely reticent about shredding an male employer caught taking advantage of female underlings, would be calling for Dirty Dave’s thinning scalp by now but one would then be wrong.

Allowances must be made when the evil-doer is of the liberal persuasion!

In fact, nary a disparaging word was heard from the usually-loquacious former NOW chieftess and current majordomo of the Feminist Majority Foundation Eleanor Smeal when interviewed by CNS News.

The newly-tolerant, mealy-mouthed Smeal managed to say, “I’m not for sexual harassment, [which is good to know] but obviously a person’s innocent before proven guilty [dependent on the person’s politics?] We don’t know all the facts yet. . . Obviously, positions of power should not be used to harass:” http://bit.ly/12GEOw.

It’s beyond me what additional “facts” Smeal needs since Letterman has admitted to various sexual liaisons with various members of the opposite sex who happened to be in his employ. Doesn’t that admission constitute prima facie evidence that he sinned in the eyes of a feminist?

I guess not.

Meanwhile, another former Letterman intern has come clean over her relationship with Dirty Dave.

Miss Holly Hester, who spent her share of time in Dave’s secret trysting suite, aptly called “the bunker,” . . .

Ann Coulter on why European pant-wetters live longer

"Americans are also more likely to die in military combat than the whimpering, pant-wetting cowards our military has spent the past 70 years defending – I mean, than 'our loyal European allies.' This is a health risk Europeans have managed to protect themselves against by living in a world that contains the United States military."

Ironies!

Our topsy-turvy, ass-backward world is jam-packed with ironies of every possible stripe. Some ironic situations are sad, some comical, and some just plain infuriating.

In the comical category, James Carville saying that Glenn Beck is “Just out-and-out nuts. And I also think that he’s a blatant hypocrite” has to be awarded the funny irony cake of the week.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Jim Carville, the snake-like, ragin’ cajun conservative Mary Matalin must have married when she had a snootful or when suffering temporary insanity, is the epitome’ of nuts.

Watch Mary cringe at hubby Jim’s nutty remark here: http://bit.ly/2u0m53.

If Carville isn’t nuts for sucking up to the Clintons for 8 years and for repeatedly defending their tenure and record on national television, then no one is crazy, least of all, Glenn Beck.

The trash-talking fruitcake Carville is best remembered for covering his head with a garbage can in dismay over the 2002 election results

The fast-talking Beck will long be remembered for garnering 6 million + regular listeners on his radio show and having two, not just one, books on the best seller list at the same time.

Finishing first in the infuriating, situational irony sweepstakes is an incident on the Staten Island Ferry.

War veteran Dan Bergen bravely served in both Iraq and Afghanistan in a United States Navy special warfare unit then came home to a job as deckhand on one of the ferries that plies the waters between the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Staten Island

The newlywed Bergen, age 32, suffers from an odd, patriotic quirk: He reveres the American flag for which he fought and he firmly believes in assiduously respecting the flag wherever it flies.

In this age when flag-burning is an accepted social activity, Bergen contends proper flag etiquette is more than a traditional technicality and that the flag is “a living being.”

He therefore refused to lower Old Glory to a position beneath the city’s flag which sports the municipal seal, refused to apologize for his alleged insubordination to the ferry captain, and was unceremoniously canned.

“I just felt it’s a big disrespect to the country, the flag, the Founding Fathers, my family and even myself, as well as all my men who are still over there,” said Bergen, adding, ”I’m going to stand up for what’s right. That’s what people go into the service for:” http://bit.ly/kOumC.

Bergen learned the hard way that not everyone, especially in the N.Y.C. area, concurs in his view of “what’s right,” even if he was absolutely right in refusing to obey an unlawful command.

According to USFlag.org, “When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor:” http://www.usflag.org/faq.html

Bergen put his life on the line for his country and was rewarded . . .
