Uncle Obama Wants You! …To Be Drafted into National Service

Posted by The Dude on July 3, 2008

Listen to this entire speech. Obama says he wants to FORCE all Americans to perform “government approved” community service every week. It is really scary. This is nothing short of fascism. Government controlling your life-Pure and simple.

The Dude’s Thermostat is at a Chilly 65 Degrees, Thanks Joe Klein!

Posted by The Dude on July 2, 2008

After reading this idiotic column by Mr. Anonymous, Joe Klein, entitled “Kill Your Air Conditioner“, I decided to turn my thermostat down to as crisp 65 degrees until after the 4th of July holiday. Unfortunately for me, I’ll be at work most of the time, so I won’t be able to enjoy it….

But the Dogs are already loving it…

Obama’s South Side of Chicago: Very UN-Changed

Posted by The Dude on June 27, 2008

Got this video of the South Side of Chicago, which Obama ‘organized’ for a number of years, from Chicagoans Against Obama, who got it from Rezko Watch. They are both worthwhile sites, so check ‘em out.

The Best of TV News Lip Slips

Posted by The Dude on June 26, 2008

The best of television news folks’ lip slips. You know those, they’re the terrifically awkward moments when an anchor says “blow job” instead of “block party,” or accidentally outs their station’s weatherman. They’re completely embarrassing, uncomfortable, and downright Funny.

Get Disappointed by Someone New??

Posted by The Dude on June 26, 2008

Check out this Pro-Obama bumper sticker from the good folks at The Edge of the American West.

It made me laugh, so I figured I would share it with you…although, to be forewarned, the profits benefit the Obama Campaign.

I’m working on my own version of a McCain bumper sticker. It’ll read: Get disappointed by someone old. McCain 2008.

Clinton Administration Toast to Kim Jong Il

Posted by The Dude on June 26, 2008

In light of President Bush’s speech on North Korea today, I thought I would remind the folks of another way of doing business with the North Koreans.

This is the text of a toast that then Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright made in 2000, to North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Il. It demonstrates the difference between the way a Republican and a Democrat would handle a rogue dictator with his eyes on a nuclear prize. I’m siding with the Right on this issue. (Shocking, I know)

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman (Pyongyang,
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)
For Immediate Release October 23, 2000 As Delivered

Toast by Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright At Dinner

Hosted by Chairman Kim Jong Il Pyongyang, Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea
October 23, 2000

SECRETARY ALBRIGHT: Chairman Kim Jong Il, Vice Marshal Jo,
distinguished leaders of the Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea
on behalf of the United States of America, I want to thank
you for your kindness and hospitality.
Vice Marshal Jo, we really enjoyed your visit earlier this month
to Washington and now you have made us feel very welcome, and we
appreciate it very much.

The exchange of letters and greetings between Chairman Kim Jong
Il and President Clinton, the exchange of visits by senior
officials from our respective lands, and our recent joint
communique could not have been imagined only a few years ago. We
do not move as rapidly as the performers in tonight’s wonderful
performance, but step by step we are moving toward a fundamental
improvement in our relationship. This will benefit all the people
of Korea and of the United States. I believe that our meetings
during these two days will help us to move further down the road
of cooperation.

Mr. Chairman, the process in which we are now
engaged is a process that your father President Kim Il-sung
helped to begin. It can lead to reconciliation and reunification
of the Peninsula and to more normal and prosperous relations
between your government and others in the region and the world.

This process will succeed if we all profit from the lessons of
the past and understand that confrontation is not the path to
progress in this new era. We each must meet our responsibilities
to eliminate threats, reduce tension, build confidence, and
expand ties. We each must strive to open new avenues of
communication, commerce and contacts. We must each do our part
if the Cold War is truly to end and along with it the divisions
that have caused such suffering to the people of Korea.

There is a great distance between our two lands, but as we are
starting to discover through our visits, distance is no barrier
to closer ties. The United States understands that differences
developed over many decades are real and cannot be eliminated
overnight. We must be pragmatic and recognize that the road to
fully normal relations remains uphill.

But America’s symbol is the eagle, a bird that soars. And Korea’s
pride is its mountains, which scrape the sky. There is no
obstacle we cannot overcome if we make the strategic decision to
do so together.

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Marshal, and our other distinguished
hosts, on behalf of my delegation, I want to thank you again for
your hospitality.

I look forward to tomorrow’s meetings and events. And I invite
you to join me in a toast to the health of the people of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and to the growth of
friendship between you and the people of the United States.

AND JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT, IT DIDN’T TURN OUT WELL: N. Korean Nuclear Conflict Has Deep Roots

Barack Obama and the ‘Coalition of the Shilling’

Posted by The Dude on June 20, 2008

Damsel in Distress? Pols, Press and the Peeps All Come Together To Shill for Their Candidate

Is it just me or does the media seem to treat the junior Senator from Chicago, Barack Obama, as a sort-of damsel in distress character, running to his aid when he is criticized, and counter-attacking the perpetrator. When appropriate, I am glad and grateful to see that there are people in this world who are willing to stand-up against injustice, but this is getting ridiculous. [And now, is wife is getting the same treatment.]

No matter the topic, when someone criticizes the Senator, fairly or unfairly, people come out of the woodwork to defend the man.  The newest Obama apologist, New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, is the latest in long line of panderers to remind the public about the lies and false emails, claiming Obama is a Muslim. Now, I have never received one of these emails and I certainly wouldn’t believe such garbage, but I have certainly been told repeatedly about their existence. Over and Over.

Example: When this blog (and others) criticized Obama’s affiliations with radicals and domestic terrorists, throngs of people, from all walks of life lept to his defense, on radio, television, and any other medium that would have them.

It is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in politics. It’s Barack’s “Coalition of the Shilling”, where any time an accusation is cast there are members of the press, image-conscious politicians and so-called political ‘analysts’ that all come together to fight the lies and misinformation about the son of a goat herder. The most obvious irony of course is the fact that the usual purveyors of the rumors and misinformation (Hello KO) are the same people attempting to “protect” the junior Senator from their own tactics.

Haditha Marine May Sue John Murtha…

Posted by The Dude on June 19, 2008

The highest ranking Marine to be exonerated in the Haditha case,  Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, is reportedly considering suing the Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania [and Time Magazine] for comments the Congressman made in 2006. On May 17, 2006, Congressman Murtha announced to the world, with absolutely NO EVIDENCE, that U.S. Marines had “killed innocent civilians in cold blood” in Haditha, Iraq.

Check out my previous post on the subject, which has a video of a reporter confronting Murtha over the Haditha situation and a video of how the story was reported over seas…

Photobucket

Murtha, by the way, is the freakin’ king of pork barrel spending in a Congress full of big spenders and a vicious partisan Democrat. This guy has GOT TO GO!

So much for trimming the pork
