Senator Obama Don't Be Bitter

Posted by Always To The Right on Monday, April 14, 2008 5:21:36 PM
Obama's glow as the Democrat messiah is tarnished, as he continues to expose himself as a bitter, America-hating, extreme liberal. The Hillary-Obama "dream ticket," is a nightmare.

Speaking in private to elitist millionaire pals, Obama let slip how he sees Small Town USA: "bitter" racists, who "cling" to religion when times are tough. Liberals prefer you turn to faith in government in tough times.

Bitter, small town Americans have a message for you, Sen. Obama: they want big, intrusive government to leave them alone!

"Obama called millions of Americans racists. He called into question their commitment to their religions. He dismissed their desires under the Bill of Rights to have guns as psychological. You cannot condescend to and smear the people whose votes you seek, and who you hope to lead. It shows the complete lack of humility and an inability to unite people despite claims to the contrary."

McCain To Staff: Hands Off Of Hillary

Posted by Always To The Right on Monday, April 14, 2008 3:18:56 PM

John McCain is telling his campaign staff to lay off of Hillary. So says the Drudge Report. Not a shocker if you’ve been listening to The Maaaaverick’s effusive praise for Hillary–she of such  good character, honesty, and integrity“–over these many months and years.

Guess we’re not the only ones he’s telling to “calm down.” Maybe they’ll need to stock up on nose plugs, too.

Obama Getting Slapped Around For Campaign Finance Fibs

While Obama’s Crackerquiddick condescension burns through the internet, another minor scandal is simmering on the back burner. Bill Clinton brought the matter up a few days ago, only to be hit back hard with a little racial demagoguery. But things have changed, and it looks like they’re trying a do-over on the Obamessiah’s claims of campaign-finance purity

Even…gasp..big oil? Big pharma?

People in the oil and gas industries have given $222,309 to Obama. He received $528,765 from the pharmaceutical and health industry, making him the largest recipient of the sector’s largesse.

Of course, this kind of truth-shading couldn’t even slow down the Hopey McProgress juggernaut, but it takes some of the shine off. Obama’s most idealistic fans wouldn’t bat an eye at the contributions themselves, but they’ll get to stumble around a little bit explaining the Chosen One’s Clintonian meaning-of-is-is, did-not-have-financial-relations-with-that-industry, carefully parsed boasts.

Does HillaryCo. really want to go down this road? Because all Obama has to do is bring up Norman Hsu and they’ll start to regret it.

Consensus Sometimes Stinks

What comes after Gitmo?


All three presidential candidates agree on one policy change after the Bush administration makes its exit in 2009: close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. However, all three have another common quality in the new policy, which is that they don’t explain how to do it. Bringing the terrorists to American territory may mean releasing them here, unless Congress wants to allow indeterminate detention without trial in the US

Harry Reid And Company Welcome Bad News And Ignore Good News

Posted by Always To The Right on Monday, April 14, 2008 2:16:27 PM
Vultures of the Left

. . . A ranking member of the U.S. government, Reid responded to a major terrorist attack by calling for surrender. If Reid had any concerns about how our enemies might take such a response and how it might incentivize their future actions, he didn't let those concerns slow his rush to criticize the Bush administration.

The vultures of the left habitually hover, waiting for bad news from Iraq. Whatever bad thing happens becomes their propaganda item du jour. For instance, the 4,000th American casualty in Iraq triggered a paroxysm of "commemoration" in the leftwing blogosphere and other anti-Bush outposts.

Some people insist that those on the left who mark such "grim milestones" do so because they are sincerely grieved. While it's impossible to know what lies in the hearts of the vultures, an objective look can't help but raise questions about just how grief-stricken they are. In the days before the 4,000th casualty occurred, one could almost sense the anticipation. When the time came, some left-wing websites chose to "honor" the fallen by running a portrait of George W. Bush and John McCain composed of tiny pictures of the 4,000 fallen. One wonders whether those involved in the project asked the families of the fallen if they felt this was an appropriate use of their loved ones' images.

Don't Put Your Hope In Democratic Statesmanship

Posted by Always To The Right on Monday, April 14, 2008 2:09:23 PM
They Really Do Plan to Surrender

. . . Some wishful thinkers may not believe the Democratic presidential candidates are serious. They may think that these savvy pols are playing to an antiwar primary electorate and will become more "responsible" if one of them becomes president. They misunderstand the Democrats.

For most Democrats, leaving Iraq as soon as possible is the responsible course of action. Hence Hillary Clinton's statement during the Petraeus hearings last week: "I think it could be fair to say that it might well be irresponsible to continue the policy that has not produced the results that have been promised time and time again." Would a President Clinton suddenly decide otherwise? Would she argue that U.S. security requires a large American force to remain in Iraq indefinitely? Do pigs fly?

Can Be Done

Winning an Asymmetric War  Is it possible to defeat an enemy that doesn't play by the rules?

 The belief that asymmetric warfare, in which conventional armies are forced to fight ostensibly weaker terrorists who don’t fight by the rules, can only be won by political rather than military means and that therefore states must talk to terrorists, currently commands enormous political support in the west and is to a large extent responsible for the mood of defeatism and appeasement that currently grips its elites. All the more bracing, therefore, to read this fine analysis by Maj-Gen Yaakov Amidror of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, which magisterially refutes this counsel of despair.

First Grade Outrage

Zero tolerance makes little sense. “Randy Principles”

The policies of these “school officials” are dignified by the name of “zero tolerance.” “Zero sanity” would be a more accurate description.

Mexico's Immigration Law: Let's Try It Here At Home

Posted by Always To The Right on Monday, April 14, 2008 10:44:42 AM
I may have posted this once before but it's worth a second time.

. . . Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.

"He Who Fights That Islam Should Be Superior Fights In Allah's Cause"

Posted by Always To The Right on Sunday, April 13, 2008 10:46:02 PM

According to one of the world's leading Islamic scholars, this is the
worst thing to happen to Christian-Muslim relations this year: the
pope acting like the pope and baptizing a convert to Christianity (3/23).

On the other hand, if you don't share Islam's moral self-obsession, then
you might have felt that the targeted murder of two Christian children (1/11, 1/29), an Archbishop (3/15), a priest (4/05) and the burning alive of
a Pakistani Christian convert (2/05) all ranked a bit higher on the scale.

Dick Cavett: Yet Another Liberal Dazzled By Petraeus’ Shiny Medals

Posted by Always To The Right on Sunday, April 13, 2008 9:49:07 PM
see-dubya  •  April 12, 2008 10:33 PM  [Michelle Malkin's site]

There’s something about General Petraeus that brings out the most quotable in liberals. Most recently it was LA Times wine critic Matthew DeBord who must have been auditioning for a fashion column as he critiqued Petraeus’s uniform and, especially, his many tacky, tacky medals awarded for service to his country. Righteous indignation about that from Uncle Jimbo, hilarious sarcasm at Iowahawk. Take your pick.

That was yesterday. Today it’s talk show host Dick Cavett, who I’m glad to learn is still alive, getting all hot and bothered about General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker in the New York Times.

Yes indeedy, Dick, where does this Petraeus fellow get off pretending like he’s some sort of intellectual? Poor clod only has a Ph.D. in International Relations from Princeton University.

But clever Dick can’t resist the lure of those bright, shiny medals

But if you’re a grown-up New York Times reader, if you move in the elite circles that Dick does, then valor, patriotism, and service to your country are just a clever punchline.

Baldilocks zeroes in the artillery

Ouch. But it’s true. Dick Cavett has led, by most measures, a successful life, and yet in spite of his success he’s now shown himself to be a petty, envious, and ungrateful little man.

Perhaps the saddest part is that all this effete sniping represents an improvement in the tone as compared with the last time the General testified before Congress.
