Could We Have At Least ONE Aspect of Obama's White House That's NOT Controversial?

This White House is fast becoming the champion of bad ideas. Mao on a Christmas Ornament? Yeah, you know, the mass murdering genocidal evil communist piece of sh*t Mao. Yeah, that one.

And before any lefties chime in that this is a ginned up controversy by the right wing, a tempest in a teapot, and other blah blah blah, let me ask you: Does the face of one of the most evil foul wretched excuses for humanity the world has ever known belong on a White House Christmas Tree? This administration is making me sick.

This is not a difference of opinion between conservatives and liberals, or Republicans and Democrats. This is not a matter of taste. This is a matter of good versus evil -- no more, and no less. Putting a picture of Mao on a Christmas tree at the White House is an act of EVIL. I could give a rat's ass whether it was allowed by a Donkey or an Elephant. Evil.

The Crash Continues -- Obama Approval Index now MINUS 21

I thought passing "Healthcare Reform" would help Obama's sliding numbers? Isn't that what every lefty pundit said? Now we are on the brink of having this massive federal takeover of 1/6th of our economy shoved down our throats. Result? More slide. Let us pray the left doesn't wake up from their delusions any time soon. November will be the wake up call. The anger out there is palpable. What will Obama do when he sees Pelosi hand the gavel to Boehner? What will he do when Reid is not only no longer the Senate Majority leader, but didn't even manage to get re-elected? Folks there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel we are in. It's dim, I grant you, but I can see it getting brighter.

The Crap Our Country Worries About

Obamacare? Socialized Medicine? Abortion? Taxes? Nukes in Iran? Nope. Most people spend their time worrying about useless crap.

Case in point: Fox News interviewed a mother today whose 4 year old son is in violation of the dress code at his pre-K school because his hair is too long. Whining and complaining like the true 'victimhood mentality chapter president' that she is, she bemoans the fact that her little snookie has to spend his time in the Library instead of in the classroom with his other pre-k friends. PLEASE! GROW UP! Cut the kids hair! Make him look like a boy. What in God's name has happened to parents in America?

Just imagine what a little monster this tike will turn out to be in another 5 or 7 years with Mommy letting him do whatever he wants. God help him.

A Random Rant

I have come to the conclusion that liberalism is actually not a political philosophy, but a sign of mental and moral problems.

I believe one big reason that liberals so despise conservatives, is that by their very existence, they point out the morally bankrupt and socially irresponsible nature of their opposites.

When faced with facts, history, and demonstrable outcomes, liberals will throw all caution to the wind and say who cares? We'll do it our way.

In a nutshell, liberals think that it's government's job to guarantee results. Conservatives believe it's government's job to guarantee opportunity. Results are strictly a result of character, initiative and dedication.

Liberalism believes life should be "fair". Conservatism believes life should be just. Guess which side history is on? Guess which side God is on? You could look it up.

To those who doubt this premise, a simple question: If Liberalism does not indicate a moral failing, how do you explain Ken Jennings? You know the one. Obama's "safe school" czar. The one who advocates sex between men and boys. The one who contributed to books teaching little boys how to "fist" their sex partners. Don't know what that is? I won't explain it.

Obama Gives Himself a B+.....Country's Opinion Slightly Different

Latest Rasmussen Tracking Poll: Obama's approval index at an all time low of minus 18. The President is so remarkably oblivious that he grades himself a "B+". This disconnect is a good indicator that Conservatives should do very well in November.

Question for Bill O’Reilly: Who’s the Idiot Now?

That's the title of a new article, courtesy of Accuracy In Media. It's a good question. O'Reilly fancies himself an independent, a populist, a protector of average folks, and a man of the people. Sometimes he is. Other times, he is the most exasperatingly ignorant man on TV.

On nearly every episode of the Factor, O'Reilly repeats what is to me a very tired mantra: "I want to be fair". This statement betrays an underlying flaw in his approach. What flaw? The belief that in any political issue, both "sides" have good points and bad, and that to be "fair", you have to give them each their time. Nonsense. It isn't about sides. Both "sides" may be flat wrong. Besides, if you can distill down any political issue to what the DNC, RNC, Liberal or Conservative talking heads, or the White House thinks about it, you have missed the boat entirely.

Right is right, and it can never be wrong. Wrong is wrong, and it can never be right. The rules of logic and common sense were laid down thousands of years ago, and they survive to this day. If a politician espouses a position that is just flat wrong, a true man of the people, a true populist exposes that error -- that lie -- for just what it is. He does so with no sugar coating.

Sadly another nasty habit is for O'Reilly to pronounce judgment without having all the facts. Case in point: Global Warming. First, the science is not even settled as to whether global warming is even occurring, depending on the time frame you are willing to examine. Second, if one were to concede that some form of global warming did exist, the case for it being caused by man is extremely flimsy. Third, since climategate, those of us who knew the theory was based on junk science and outright lies have had their opinions confirmed. Did any of this matter to O'Reilly before he pronounced us skeptics "idiots"?

Who's the idiot now Bill?

Ruining America - And Not Even Elected

Phil Kerpen has an excellent article on Fox forum today that can be found here, detailing Carol Browner and Lisa Jackson's attempt to trash the US economy. Cap and Trade shows no signs of passing. Climategate punched more holes in an already shaky theory based on junk science.

No problem for Browner and Jackson. Just declare "greenhouse gases" pose a serious threat to public health. Bingo! Now you can regulate America into oblivion, and the people have no say. Not even the congress has a say. Nazis. Hacks. Lowest of the low. Nevermind that there is no such thing as a greenhouse effect. Nevermind that global temps are going down, and have been for more than a decade. Nevermind that so-called global warming has nothing to do with man, and everything to do with the cycle of the sun.

Bureaucrats pose a much greater threat to America's future prosperity and freedom than elected officials do. Worse, yet, they are completely unaccountable, except to a man who has swallowed more Kool-Aid than they have. God help us.

Palin on Climategate

The president's decision to attend the international climate conference in Copenhagen needs to be reconsidered in light of the unfolding Climategate scandal. The leaked e-mails involved in Climategate expose the unscientific behavior of leading climate scientists who deliberately destroyed records to block information requests, manipulated data to "hide the decline" in global temperatures, and conspired to silence the critics of man-made global warming. I support Senator James Inhofe's call for a full investigation into this scandal. Because it involves many of the same personalities and entities behind the Copenhagen conference, Climategate calls into question many of the proposals being pushed there, including anything that would lead to a cap and tax plan.

Policy should be based on sound science, not snake oil. I took a stand against such snake oil science when I sued the federal government over its decision to list the polar bear as an endangered species despite the fact that the polar bear population has increased. I've never denied the reality of climate change; in fact, I was the first governor to create a subcabinet position to deal specifically with the issue. I saw the impact of changing weather patterns firsthand while serving as governor of our only Arctic state. But while we recognize the effects of changing water levels, erosion patterns, and glacial ice melt, we cannot primarily blame man's activities for the earth's cyclical weather changes. The drastic economic measures being pushed by dogmatic environmentalists won't change the weather, but will dramatically change our economy for the worse.

Policy decisions require real science and real solutions, not junk science and doomsday scare tactics pushed by an environmental priesthood that capitalizes on the public's worry and makes them feel that owning an SUV is a "sin" against the planet. In his inaugural address, President Obama declared his intention to "restore science to its rightful place." Boycotting Copenhagen while this scandal is thoroughly investigated would send a strong message that the United States government will not be a party to fraudulent scientific practices. Saying no to Copenhagen and cap and tax are first steps in "restoring science to its rightful place."

Is Huckabee Toast?

So now that this pathetic piece of filth Maurice Clemmons has been found and shot dead -- after murdering 4 police officers in a cowardly ambush at a coffee shop, alot of questions remain.

He had many enablers. His family helped him elude capture after the murders. They intentionally lied to police and obstructed the investigation and manhunt. They provided him with food, money, cell phones, medical treatment, vehicles and hiding places. Police are rounding up the scumbag family as we speak. (as a side note, can't you just wait to see Sharpton, Jackson and every other race-baiter come out of the woodwork to defend this guy's 'family'? Oh Joy) The Washington court system was also totally incompetent. They let him out on $15,000 bail last week on a child rape charge.

The one enabler that I want to focus on right now however is former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. As you no doubt have read, this thug had his lengthy prison sentence commuted by Huck when he was Governor of Arkansas back in the year 2000. Huckabee has released statements, blaming the prosecutors in Arkansas, blaming the parole board, blaming the courts, and only to a small extent, blaming himself.

My problem with Huckabee is that I think it's clear that his judgment was clouded in this case, and in many other cases, by his religious beliefs. He has a history of granting clemency to violent criminals who reoffend after they are released. Clemmons is just one example. In fact, Huckabee granted clemency or pardons to more than ONE THOUSAND convicts while he was governor, including a dozen or so MURDERERS.


Why did he grant such clemency in many of these cases? Because the criminal claimed a religious conversion and a changed life, and Huckabee wanted to give them a 'second chance'.

If a criminal does have a religious conversion and a change of heart, I'm happy for him. But what does that have to do with justice?

A Bible verse comes to mind, since I'm on the subject of religion and how it influences Huckabee's judgment:

Proverbs 25:2 -- It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

What does that mean? Quite simply it means that God is in the sin forgiving business. Kings, rulers, Presidents and Governors are not. They are in the prosecution and punishment business. It is to their honor, glory and credit to "search out a matter"; to find the truth, to punish the wrongdoer, and to do justice.

When a ruler (or a Governor) mixes up his role with God's role in a just society, that society ceases to be just. Pastors would often call Huckabee while he was Governor, begging for clemency. Often they actually got it. They knew just what buttons to push. It might sound harsh to some, and it may be a case of oversimplification, but I believe that when it came to criminal justice in Arkansas, Governor Huckabee had a hole in his head.

C'mon Mike. Going on O'Reilly last night and whitewashing what really happened might help you convince some, but the bottom line is that this scum would still be locked up in an Arkansas prison, and those 4 Police officers would still be alive, were it not for your decision to grant clemency, over the vehement objections of the prosecuting attorney's office, and the victims of his crimes.

There's gonna be alot more fallout from this. If Huckabee is going to be able to salvage his Presidential hopes, that's going to take some serious dancing. I for one think he's toast.

UPDATE: 12/1/09 @ 8:45 PM --

Just heard Bill O'Reilly defend his treatment of Huckabee on last night's show, basically saying it wasn't Huckabee's fault, because he only commuted this guy's sentence, and others paroled him. Besides, O'Reilly says, the guy was 16 when he committed those crimes. Since he was paroled in Arkansas, he has committed multiple felonies and violent crimes as an adult and the Judges and courts that kept paroling and releasing him should have known better. Hey Bill, that's a logical fallacy. It makes it WORSE NOT BETTER. ALL THE CRIMES he has committed as an "adult" would have been PREVENTED if Huckabee had not commuted his sentence. HE'D STILL BE LOCKED UP IN ARKANSAS BILL! Here's a clue to you and to Mike Huckabee, Bill. Just don't commute sentences. Just don't do it. There's a reason these violent criminals are sentenced to lengthy prison terms. They're just too dangerous to set free. Why is that so hard for you to understand? No Spin zone? Please.

UPDATE 2: 12/2/09 @ 08:24 AM --

Now defenders of this commutation are pointing out that he got a sentence of 108 years for robbery, which was excessive, and all that Huckabee did was commute it to 47 years. LIE! He got what was 'in effect' a 108 year sentence because he was convicted of MULTIPLE violent felonies, some of which he was sentenced for concurrently, and some of which he was sentenced for consecutively. The "net" was 108 years. He would have been out around 2015. Ummmm.... that's 4 or 5 years from now. Those cops would still be alive. The other multiple crimes he committed since his 2000 release in Arkansas would not have happened. The original Judge and Jury got it right! This was an extremely violent and unstable thug who belonged in Prison -- not on the streets to commit his atrocious crimes again. You cannot spin your way out of this one Mike.
