Different Standards for Republicans

Scooter Libby was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail for his conviction of lying under oath, or perjury. The judge refused to weigh Libby’s career of public service and decided to jail him rather than give him probation and fined him a quarter million dollars. This is what happens when Republican is convicted of lying under oath. When a Democrat is guilty of that he keeps his job and makes millions of dollars a year on the speaking circuit while his wife serves as a Senator and runs for President. The article indicates that Libby was the highest ranking official convicted of a crime since Iran Contra. I guess Clinton being guilty of perjury (the same offense as Libby) does not count because the gutless bastards in the Senate did not have the courage to impeach him. I suppose those on the left who said that perjury was not an impeachable offense can shut up now since this jackass judge has decided it is worth 30 months in jail.

I am not convinced Libby lied and even if he did it is not worth 30 months in jail. This judge is trying to make a name for himself by being tough but if Libby’s lie was worth 30 months where was this jackass judge when Clinton was deliberately lying to cover up his behavior? I think Libby should have just killed Fitzgerald because then he would be on probation. DC never takes murder that seriously and Libby would be a free man and Fitzgerald would be with Satan where he belongs.

Libby does not have a report date and the judge has not decided whether he should remain free pending his appeal (but has indicated that he sees no reason for it). The President should wait to see if Libby will remain free until his appeal and if he must report to jail the President should immediately pardon him. I don’t really care if the left likes it and Fitzgerald can suck wind along with his butt buddy judge. President Bush should thumb his nose at them and pardon Libby so he can move on with his life. Clinton seems to be doing well after his episode of perjury and Libby deserves the same.

If Hillary Rodham makes any comments about the sentence people should remind her that her sex offender husband was guilty of the same and then someone should kick her between her legs and make her testicles land in her throat. If Bush pardons Libby and she has a word to say then they should kick her there again and remind her of Mark Rich and all the other people her husband sold his pardons to.

As for the Democrats in Congress, if any of them comment on the culture of corruption and Libby then they had better be prepared to see Jefferson end up in jail for a thousand years and not open their yaps. They should also be reminded that their last President should be in a cell next to Libby and that they all should be there as well.

I believe that Libby can win on appeal. Fitzgerald unduly influenced the jury by and he continued even after he had the leak. Had he stopped when his scope had been reached he would not have even spoken with Libby. Spilled milk I imagine, now George Bush needs to grow a pair and pardon the man instead of just feeling awful for him and his family.

Fitzgerald is worthless and someone should kick him between the legs. Of course, it won’t hurt him. you have to have something there to feel pain. But then the judge already knows that.

Bill Clinton’s Black Magic

If anyone needs any evidence that the end of the World is around the corner one only needs to look as far as the people who swarm Bill Clinton as if he is a messiah and who praise the work he claims to have done as president. One only needs to know real history and not Clinton revisionism to understand that a whole generation of people are clueless and do not know what the truth is.

Bill Clinton was out pandering for votes for his wife’s presidential bid and of course he had to go to the Rainbow/PUSH coalition headed by the race baiting poverty pimp Jesse Jackson. It is obvious that B. Hussein Obama poses a greater threat to Hillary Rodham than she predicted and since his positives are much higher than hers, Billy is our pandering to blacks. It seems to have some affect because black voters say they can not decide between Ms. Rodham on Obama.

As is typical Clinton, he rewrote history and he managed to distort the truth in order to help Ms. Rodham and in order to woo the black voters. As is the case with those in the race baiting business and those on the left, class warfare was out in full force as Clinton told the crown how he worked for two decades to end the disparity but that under Bush the rich get richer and those at or below poverty lose ground. This is patently untrue and Clinton is lying to people who have it better now than they did 30 years ago. He and Jackson, both very wealthy men, are acting like Bush made them rich while trampling on those poor folks in the audience.

I guess what we need to do is look at what constitutes poverty in America. The following is from the Heritage Foundation and it describes people who live in poverty in America. It is from 2004 and the economy has gotten better since then:

The following are facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:

  • Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
  • Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
  • Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
  • The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
  • Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.
  • Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
  • Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
  • Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.

Heritage Foundation

The piece goes on to describe how those in poverty in America are far from undernourished and while some families report going hungry in the past year, that is temporary and they eat and have access to food. As an aside, obesity is the number one problem among the poor in America. Only in this country can those who are poor be eating too much.

Clinton is just dead wrong and this demonstrates for the zillionth time that he will say anything to get him or his wife into office. He lies and does not comprehend how to tell the truth. He and his wife were bad for this country before and they will be even worse for it in the future.

I will also add that it is Hillary Rodham’s fault New York was hit on 9/11. So long as people can believe that Bush is to blame for 9/11 Hillary can be to blame for them attacking New York.

Clinton and Rodham are a greatly deceptive team who will ruin America even further if put back in the White House. I am not an Obama fan but he would be a better choice than Rodham.

Too bad the black community has trouble learning from experience. How many times do they have to be screwed by Democrats and lied to by the Clinton team before they catch on. Oh well, you get what you deserve as many who voted for Martin O’Malley in Maryland are learning. Hope it does not get too hot for them this Summer.

Clinton and Rodham need to just fade away. Perhaps a loss will help with that.

What About Guarding America’s Secrets?

I do not agree with much of what Susan Estrich says and we are politically opposite but I have read a bit about her and she had some tough times growing up so I applaud her for making something of herself despite the troubles along the way (not to minimize rape by calling it a troubles, because it is a terrible crime). I know there are many people who have tough times growing up but it is nice to hear about the ones that made something of themselves and Estrich is quite accomplished.

Estrich wrote a piece at Fox News (Fair and Balanced) and it discusses how Hillary Rodham had a bad week last week. In it she wrote this:

Let’s start with the Henry memo. I don’t know the guy personally, and he may be very good at many things. But writing a memo at this point arguing that Hillary should bypass Iowa is just plain stupid. First of all, even if that’s what you think, you don’t write it down and circulate it around the campaign. How many campaign memos will have to be leaked (so far, we’ve had Giuliani and Romney, and now Clinton) before staffers and consultants get the point that you can’t put on paper anything you don’t want to see on the front page of the New York Times or in the table of contents of the Drudge Report. Fox News

The article goes on to talk about Top Secret memos being an invitation for someone to leak them. As we can see in the quote above, Estrich thinks that it is wise not to write important stuff down because she believes that secrets should be secrets. From her piece, I gather that she thinks it is a bad thing for secrets to appear in the NYT (or anywhere else for that matter). I can not disagree with her. It is important for campaigns, companies, and even our country, to keep secrets.

I believe that is the point that was made some time ago when every other week someone was leaking national secrets and the NYT was reporting secret programs, war plans, agency activities and all kinds of other secret stuff. The left and their minions in the media felt it was the people’s right to know these things.

So why is it not our right to know what Hillary’s campaign plans are? Surely they can not be more important than our national secrets or worthy of more aggressive safeguarding…

The left only believes that secrets should be kept when they involve a Democratic campaign or the wife of a third shelf, loser diplomat.

Ben Affleck Proves the Point

Ben Affleck was on the show of anti Christian Bil Maher and said that Romeny would win the Republican nomination and then he went into an expletive filled rant on the Democrats because they passed a spending bill without time lines. Affleck said they did that because they did not want to go on vacation and have the president talk badly about them. Truth is, they did not want the bill to get in the way of them going on vacation. How would it look if they went on holiday without money for the troops? People would be demanding that they stay until they were able to get something done. They were not about to give up vacation and risk working more than 100 days this year. Affleck said one thing that is pretty interesting (if you can believe it):

“These (bleeping) people,” he said. “This is the (bleeping) problem with that. Democrats live in fear of basically being called cowards,” Boston Herald

His rant was directed toward the Democrats. My question is, if you live in fear of something doesn’t that pretty much make you a coward? If you live in fear of being called a coward, what does that say about you?

It is one thing to be afraid or to have fear, but to live in fear…

From Webster:
coward – one who shows disgraceful fear or timidity

Ginsburg; Feminist Opinion Trumps Law

Ruth (Darth) Bader Ginsburg dissented in a recent decision where the Supreme Court ruled that a woman could not file a discrimination suit against an employer because she failed to meet the filing deadline in the law. The employee evidently filed the suit years after the alleged discrimination and the court rejected her claim. Justice Darth Bader Ginsburg was unhappy with the ruling and indicated that the court was ignoring the insidious discrimination in pay between men and women.

No Justice, the court was following the law. The employee might have been discriminated against but has an obligation to file suit within the time indicated in the law. Justice, are you not the same person who dissented in the partial birth abortion case indicating once again that this somehow hurt women’s rights? Are you not employed to interpret the law? The law allows abortions (another SCOTUS mistake) up to a certain time. There is no way in hell you or anyone else can justify killing a child seconds before it is born by saying that it is a blob of cells or any other clap trap you folks use to justify murder.
