Wow. Really Bad Parenting and a Complete Absence of Self-Awareness.

I generally believe that you can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t hurt me or my family or cost me any money. I think that is a liberal and sensible viewpoint, and one that is shared by most Americans (though admittedly there would be a vocal minority of dissenters).

Then there is this:



It doesn't hurt me or my family and it doesn't cost me any money. So why do I care?

I probably shouldn't, but I do.

Not because of the kids, but because of the parents. Clearly they are too stupid to be allowed to reproduce. I demand that they be sterilized immediately on general principles.

Do they even know what "out of context" means?

What part of having your young daughter dress like a stripper is wrong don't they understand?

I am now openly advocating secession. I can no longer peacefully co-exist with so many idiots.

Obama Woods

I continue to find it interesting that Obama has played golf more in the first 16 months of his Presidency than Bush played in his entire 8 years in office, especially since it was, like, winter for at least 6 months in that time span.

It doesn't especially bother me that he plays a lot of golf.

It bothers me that the media excoriated Bush for playing golf in times of crisis, but there isn't a peep out of them for Obama doing the same thing. There was a major flood in Nashville. Perhaps he hasn't heard about it yet?

I also recall the hilarity that ensued when George Bush I discovered scanners in grocery stores (although he'd been Vice President and President for the intervening 12 years and probably didn't make a lot of trips to the supermarket during the period
when scanners were introduced. Over the weekend Obama claims he doesn't know how to work an iPod or an iPad.

Again, nary a word is said.

Obama is awfully thin skinned; the man has zero tolerance for criticism. Then again, I can't name a single fascist leader who was terribly open to criticism.

"You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter," Obama said at Hampton University, Virginia.

He's right about that. I mean, Janet Napolitano told us, mere moments after the failed Times Square bombing, the the responsible party was probably an isolated nut job and not a terrorist, and NY Mayor Bloomberg told us it was probably some guy who hated Obamacare. That's just crazy talk!

Why, how many Americans were shocked to learn it was some Muslim named Faisal? Outside of the administration and the media, I'll bet the answer is zero.

The Nashville Flood

I went to school in Nashville, I have many friends and co-workers that live there and I cannot believe the pictures from the flood. Honestly, this looks a lot worse than Katrina, yet the media coverage is practically non-existent.

To paraphrase Kanye "Fishsticks" West: does this mean Obama hates white people?

A Moment of Clarity

I saw this picture and suddenly everything made sense:

Well Said

Here is a must read commentary from David Harsanyi of the Denver Post, and you really must read the whole thing. He's writing about the Times Square SUV bomb and the absolutely idiotic response of so many political and media types.

Anyone who acts surprised that it was yet another Islamic Jihadi is retarded!

People like to blame Islamic terrorists for blowing stuff up or trying to blow stuff up because, well, 99% of the time they are responsible. Duh! If a Muslim finds that offensive that's just too bad, and if you believe in political correctness you're a moron anyway.

Even as investigators were hunting for the perpetrator of the botched "man-caused disaster" in Times Square, our cool Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was reassuring a frazzled nation that the failed bombing appeared to be an isolated incident — a "one-off" — and avoided the notion of (much less the word) "terrorism."

Thankfully, law enforcement agencies refrain from leaping to conclusions before they have all the facts. Not Janet. And citizens should not infer anything based on a litany of historical and anecdotal evidence, even after the fact, lest some group feel demonized.

Janet Napolitano is a moron. On her best day. She really isn't very bright, and I don't say that just because I dislike her and disagree with her. She doesn't know when to shut up, and she gives me a very bad feeling about the safety of the Nation. (FYI - I was and am opposed to the Patriot Act simply because government power grabs always end poorly.)

Mike Bloomberg? Dude, I thought you had a little sense.

"If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that," explained Mayor Michael Bloomberg — who has plenty of quarters to spare — during the investigation's early stages. "Homegrown, or maybe a mentally deranged person, or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.

"

It could be anything, said the mayor of New York City. A mentally deranged person, perhaps? Maybe some crazy from the fundamentalist faction of around 56 percent of us who opposed health-care reform. After all, in the deep recesses of some imaginations, conservatives are not above murdering hundreds of tourists to make a point about Obamacare.

Great line, huh? Maybe some crazy from the fundamentalist faction of around 56 percent of us who opposed health-care reform. After all, in the deep recesses of some imaginations, conservatives are not above murdering hundreds of tourists to make a point about Obamacare. Now I have some liberal friends who will think that is extreme. Yet there were liberal talk show hosts and politicians who said exactly that. The thin-skinned Obama crowd is all about demonizing the opposition.

Or it could be something totally unanticipated! Like Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old naturalized American citizen from Pakistan, who was taken into custody at JFK Airport in New York as he attempted to escape to Dubai. A senior U.S. official said Shahzad already admitted to interrogators that he received (not very effective) bomb-making tips during his five-month trip to Pakistan. Reason dictates Shahzad wasn't upset about reconciliation.

It is also clear that Shahzad worked "alone" in the same way that Nidal Hasan or Najibullah Zazi or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab or that bumpkin who threatened the South Park creators or the 9/11 terrorists or Umayyad and his armies worked alone.

Man, that's like Johnny Carson-quality humor. These jihadis don't work alone. They are vermin, yet we treat them as if they have rights. They don't - not under the law of war. I believe we have authority to summarily execute them, and while I have reservations about the death penalty in the context of our own judicial system, in this instance I have none.

Seriously, what is the downside? If we were wrong the world would have one less guy named Faisal. No sane person would have any issues with that.

If I had to guess 25 cents, I'd bet the administration makes no mention of fundamentalist Islam even when it reluctantly admits we're dealing with "terror."

Ouch! Could it be that Obama and his administration are really just a bunch of pussies? (I'd give Rahm Emanuel a pass on that one. I don't like him and I disagree with him on most everything, but I don't think he is a pussy.)

Yet, such an obvious admission is neither a condemnation nor endorsement of any brand of foreign policy. It is neither a condemnation nor endorsement of the idealistic notion that we can "eradicate terrorism" nor the naive idea that a charismatic president can plead for friendship enough times that jihadists worldwide will be lulled into submission and awe.

After all, the administration has never been scared to call out despots and extremists, such as insurance companies, Wall Street executives, Tea Party activists and the Israeli government. This is the Department of Homeland Security that issued a report alerting us to potential violence from "right- wing extremists" who are ginned up about "illegal immigration," "federal power," and the Second Amendment. (So at least half of you qualify.)

Ouch again.

Insurance companies, oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, Wall Street executives, Tea Party activists and the Israeli government? Evil.

An Islamic terrorist? Not so much.

To be perfectly blunt, we just have a bunch of folks in the media and in politics who need an ass-whupping. If they didn't get into fights as kids, well, they should have. It would have made them a little tougher, a little smarter.
