The events of the last few days have brought the situation that we are in into sharp relief, and it’s not a pretty picture. The narcissistic, inexperienced, elitist, empty suit with a history of cocaine use, a shadowy past and a collection of unsavory friends and associates that is masquerading as the guardian of our Constitution repeated once again that he is not interested in “victory” in Afghanistan, but rather in “solving the problem,” thereby displaying a stunning and terrifying naiveté. Forgive me, man-god, but there is no solution to this problem without victory. If you don’t understand that, you are even more clueless than even I previously believed. Don’t you worry about it, though. You’ve got to get to Copenhagen to do a favor for Mayor Daley. Priorities are priorities. 

    Thanks to the hoards of celebrity-obsessed, ignorant teenyboppers and Oprah acolytes encouraged by ostensibly serious journalists who shared their squealing schoolgirl crush, this is where is where we find ourselves. The following is the reality:

What’s Important to B. Hussein

    The “crisis” of man-made global warming

    Incessantly appearing on television, magazine covers, and any other vehicle he and David Axelrod can find to insure that he is constantly in the face of every sentient creature on earth

    Squiring Michelle Antoinette (aka the First Klingon)  all over the planet on glamourous “date nights” and shopping sprees

    Destroying our health care system through his government takeover scheme

    Redressing the unfairness of this “mean country,” by redistributing income from the serfs who exist merely to submit to his dictates to his mascot groups and political cronies

    Apologizing for the many sins racist imperialistic Amerika has committed against the rest of the world, Including destroying the planet through its greed and consumerism (see above, re global warming) so that the members of that international insane asylum with frequent open mic nights, the U.N., will love him

    Payback to Mayor Daley and the rest of the Chicago Machine for their help foisting him on our country

    The continued existence of the cult of personality that catapulted him into office, including the covert stoking of white guilt, the tsunami-like wave of which he surfed right into the Oval Office

    His belief in his own preternatural talent and super-specialness

What’s Important to Normal Americans

    Victory over al-Qaeda and similar head-chopping Islamic fanatics determined to murder as many Americans as possible, so that we can be safe and secure in our homes, workplaces and schools

    Winning the war in Afghanistan

    Peace through strength, as putting the national interest of the United States of America ahead of every other nation on earth, even if that means we must take actions that might not pass the “global test” or otherwise please the U.N.

    Preventing totalitarian lunatics from obtaining nuclear weapons

    The protection of our brave, selfless troops putting their lives on the line to keep us safe

    The continued existence of America as that “shining city of a hill” Ronald Reagan so eloquently described

    Passing to future generations the freedom that we were fortunate to inherit from our ancestors, who worked tirelessly, fought, and even died, to give us this precious legacy

    Individual responsibility

    Individual liberty, facilitated by limited government, confident that if left alone in an economy with a robust free market we can take care of our families just fine, thank you, and help the less fortunate, too, without the federal government putting a gun to our heads

    Belief in God, and the strength that we draw from faith

    Once again I find myself disagreeing with Hugo Chavez. (I guess he won’t be winking at me the way he did at Courtney Love.) Where he smells hope, I smell the stench of appeasement, incompetence and arrogance, none of which bodes well for our country. Courage, but pray.

The Liberal Death Star  (that would be the New York Times for those of you who don’t listen to the Teri O’Brien show, or who are new to this blog) Reports:

Seven former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency asked President Obama on Friday to shut down the new Justice Department inquiry into past abuses during interrogations of terrorism suspects, arguing that it “will seriously damage” the nation’s ability to protect itself.

In a letter to Mr. Obama, the former C.I.A. chiefs said the cases under study had already been examined by career prosecutors who found that no criminal charges were warranted. To reopen cases based on a change in which political party controls the government, they wrote, will make it harder for intelligence officers to take risks without worrying that some future attorney general might investigate them.

“Those men and women who undertake difficult intelligence assignments in the aftermath of an attack such as September 11 must believe there is permanence in the legal rules that govern their actions,” the men said in their letter.

They argued that the new inquiry would result in the disclosure of information about past operations that “can only help Al Qaeda” elude capture, and would convince foreign intelligence agencies that they could not trust the United States to protect secrets.

    First of all, it’s distressing to learn that obvious racists (otherwise why would they criticize an Obama administration policy?) were in charge of the CIA, including two who worked for our first black president Bill Clinton. Second, who do these guys think they are, questioning the decisions the One’s hand-picked Attorney General makes? As if! As if they know more about national security than Eric Holder and B. Hussein Obama, two guys who understand that, sure national security is sort of important, but that the rights of guys named Abdul and Mohammed, not to mention this generation’s Bill Ayers are paramount. What if someone eavesdrops on them without the ACLU and some SoSo (as in Sonia “Affirmative Action Baby” Sotomayor) type federal judge’s approval? Is that what you want? Do you want some poor former cave-dwelling, previously lice-infested, rag-head wearing guy taken away from his orange peel chicken and rice pilaf so that some cruel interrogator can splash him with water? I didn’t think so. 

Jimmy “King of the Useful Idiots” Carter understood that. He was horrified by the excesses committed by the CIA. Sure, his policies of emasculating and demoralizing our intelligence agencies probably led directly to 9/11, but I’m sure that, like Mary Jo Kopechne, who no doubt would have volunteered to give her life to ensure that Ted Kennedy could spend 47 years in the Senate, those who perished on 9/11 would have been happy to be incinerated to make sure that none of our country’s enemies rights were infringed or even threatened.
