Taking Over or Moving Aside?

Hussein Obama frequently takes both sides of an issue, if only so he can confuse those not paying attention as what his intentions are. Right now, he's trying to find a way to force his pork spending bill on the American public. Hussein Obama's calling it a "stimulus" bill. But, he's been finding out that the longer the bill sits there being examined, the more it's being noticed that it doesn't stimulate anything but the size and power of the federal government.

So, what's the game here? Realizing that most Americans are, by nature, small government types, Hussein Obama wheeled out some business executives and had this to say:

"All we can do, those of us here in Washington, is to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper, businesses can thrive, and our economy can grow," Mr. Obama said, speaking to a group of about 50 business leaders in the White House East Room.

"That is exactly what the recovery plan I have proposed is intended to do, and that is exactly what I intend to achieve, soon," he said.

Go here to read the bill and see if you can find any provisions to create a "favorable climate" so that the economy will recover. Instead, the bill seems like the early moves to increase government control over the economy, as Hussein Obama noted in a major policy speech just a few weeks ago:

"It is true that we cannot depend on government alone to create jobs or long-term growth, but at this particular moment, only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe," Obama said in a speech at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. "Only government can break the vicious cycles that are crippling our economy -- where a lack of spending leads to lost jobs which leads to even less spending; where an inability to lend and borrow stops growth and leads to even less credit."

So, is the private sector going to lead us out of this economic hard patch, or is it government that's going to do the work, and which do you think BHO really wants to be in charge?

Hussein's Our Man ... 44 Has Arrived

The Otopia has begun, and Hussein and Chief Justice Roberts couldn't even manage to get the Oath of Office right. Not exactly an auspicious beginning.

Willfully Ignorant

Like the leftists before them, the Islamists are hollowing out various institutions in America as a means to undermine and topple them. Afraid of offending our enemies, even the Army War College is caving in to politically correct Islamist apologists/propagandists/liars:

One effort to remedy this strategic deficiency identified by Gawthrop was undertaken by Joint Chiefs of Staff analyst Stephen Coughlin, who published his finding in his master’s thesis at the National Defense Intelligence University, “To Our Great Detriment”: Ignoring What Extremists Say About Jihad. In his thesis, Coughlin examines texts from multiple schools of Islamic jurisprudence to evaluate the respective traditions on jihad and their contemporary use by Islamic terrorists, concluding that failing to investigate these sources has left our military “disarmed in the war of ideas.”

Coughlin’s thesis had barely seen the light of day before he was sacked from his position with the Joint Chiefs, having running afoul of another Pentagon official, Hesham Islam, a top-ranked Muslim advisor to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, who took issue with Coughlin’s academic analysis.

Now I know where Brad Thor got that particular character for his novel The Last Patriot. That this stuff is going on inside the military while the military is at war with Islamic fundamentalist fascists is disgusting, and that there are Islamic apologists at work inside the military with the ears of policy makers is frightening. Hesham Islam. Really? No, REALLY?!?!?!? Sure, it's just his name, but would any defense secretary in World War II have employed a man named Mark Hitler or Tim Mussolini or Bobby Tojo as a top-ranked advisor?

The mainstream media and the Democratic Party have spent seven long years trying to mislead and mischaracterize the nature of our enemy, and one can only hope that now that the leftists are in power, they'll recognize the threat from outside to their power, and move to protect America. One can hope, but Congress is so full of incompetent self-aggrandizing anti-intellectual morons intent on lining their pockets with taxpayer funds and graft they probably don't recognize there is a threat because, after all, they've been claiming Bush lied about the Islamists all along and the media agrees with them, so it must all be scare tactics used to fuel the military-industrial complex and line the pockets of Bush's and Cheney's cronies in the munitions and oil busineses.

This isn't just a stairway to hell, it's an elevator shaft.

Can Haz Sea Kittens?

People for the Eating of Tasty Animals has come out with a bizarre proposal - sorry, the other PETA came up with a completely moronic, idiot-fueled, douchebaggy idea to encourage people to start calling fish "sea kittens." Seriously, these people are idiots:

People don't seem to like fish. They're slithery and slimy, and they have eyes on either side of their pointy little heads—which is weird, to say the least. Plus, the small ones nibble at your feet when you're swimming, and the big ones—well, the big ones will bite your face off if Jaws is anything to go by.

Of course, if you look at it another way, what all this really means is that fish need to fire their PR guy—stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone. You've done enough damage, buddy. We've got it from here. And we're going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?

I know, I know, we in a civilized society are neither allowed to send these assclowns to re-education camps in Alaska nor are we allowed to just shoot them where they stand, because these ineducable nitwits are too stupid to know how stupid they are, and, therefore, we must show compassion. Sure, thinning the herd of these anti-human morons would make the race stronger and society better, but we must tolerate their idiocy and do our best to ignore them.

Sea kittens? Seriously, this is what they came up with in their pea-brained meetings to come up with a new name to call fish? This is so embarassing that were I associated with the idea to call fish "sea kittens," I'd hang my head in shame. Indeed, those who are associated should be forced to endure Nelson Muntz's mocking laugh at the top of every hour:

It never ceases to amaze, the depths of idiocy the human race can descend to on purpose.

Science Idiocy

In recent years, there's been much ado about expanding the scope of the definition of "autism." I have no idea why, I just know it's happening. And this kind of non-scientific BS is pervasive:

Men who do not find the shape of the curvier woman most attractive could be more likely to father children with autism, according to a study.

Researchers showed 100 men with autistic children pictures of curvy women, women with athletic frames and more rounded women and found that they do not have a preference on which figure they find more attractive.

The new research from the University of Bath suggests that fathers of autistic children do not share the preference of men across the world for the curvier woman.

This is the kind of "science" morons practice. This is the kind of newspaper article morons write. This is the kind of anti-intellectual information that creates morons of normal people. There is no science information in this article, despite the presence of "scientists" talking about their "study." Merely the presence of the headline in a newspaper or a hyperlink on a web page is enough to spread this idiotic meme, as many people will see it and internalize it to some degree.

Pure common sense will tell you that this analysis is idiotically wrong. Who knows what the motivation behind it is, but it is dangerous to pursue this line of investigation, because it will eventually confuse people into making bad decisions. I mean, not only can you not base anything on the information you get by showing 100 fathers of autistic children photos of various females, this idiotic article doesn't even tell you what percentage of the 100 favored which kinds of female body shapes. This isn't information, it's dis-information.

And, probably, an outright lie being used by these researches so they can secure more research funding so they can continue to generate food on their dinner plates.

The American Left: Filled with Hatred and Rage

This sort of sounds like "hate speech" to me:

Most of the chants were run-of-the-mill; men and women waving Palestinian flags called Israel's invasion of Gaza a "crime," while the pro-Israel group carried signs calling the Hamas-run territory a "terror state."

But as the protest continued and crowds grew, one woman in a hijab began to shout curses and slurs that shocked Jewish activists in the city, which has a sizable Jewish population.

"Go back to the oven," she shouted, calling for the counter-protesters to die in the manner that the Nazis used to exterminate Jews during the Holocaust.

"You need a big oven, that's what you need," she yelled.

That there is anyone who would shout such a thing, let alone think such a thing, of the leftist side of the Palestinian/Israel debate should be enough to shame the entire side of the debate. Alas, leftists are anti-Semites when it comes to Israel:

The protest organizers, asked to comment on the woman's overt call for Jewish extermination, said she was "insensitive" but refused to condemn her statement.

This is the modern left in America: outraged at its political opponents and blind to the hate fueling the leftist ideology.

The War Ends in Iraq

Thus observes the Washington Post:

"The war has ended," said Heidar al-Abboudi, a street merchant.

The war in Iraq is indeed over, at least the conflict as it was understood during its first five years: insurgency, communal cleansing, gangland turf battles and an anarchic, often futile quest to survive. In other words, civil war -- though civil war was always too tidy a term for it. The entropy, for now at least, has run its course. So have many of the forces the United States so dangerously unleashed with its 2003 invasion, turning Iraq into an atomized, fractured land seized by a paroxysm of brutality. In that Iraq, the Americans were the final arbiter and, as a result, deprived anything they left behind of legitimacy.

There are no victors. There are no losers. The war has just ended. The "civil war" started when the United States illegally invaded a sovereign nation and ousted the beloved Saddam Hussein from power is now over. Not that there's any good to come from it, either.

Post writer Anthony Shadid is a blithering leftist idiot whose central mission here is to strip any victory from George Bush and the US military and to reinforce the idiotic nonsense that no good came from liberating 25 million Iraqis from a brutal, murderous tyrant.
