Perhaps Maureen Dowd Was In A Coma
Oct 18, 2010 Political
Leave it to the ever increasingly irrelevant Maureen Dowd of The New York Times to write a piece that is nothing more than mindless prattle. Ms. Dowd is a frustrated old maid who has trouble seeing the real America from high atop her ivory tower. She is a liberal and loves to extol the virtues of liberalism while berating anyone who is not in line with her thinking.
All well and good but at least this shrew could demonstrate some professionalism. She is, after all, supposed to be a journalist.
Case in point. Dowd has a new article this weekend at the NYT (you find it, no linky love here). In it she discusses all the Republican women and how mean they are. She mischaracterizes the Arizona immigration law while taking a shot at the mean ole meanie Jan Brewer. Yes, to Dowd, Brewer is mean because she was elected to protect the citizens of Arizona and that is what she is doing. And Dowd does not stop at Brewer. She also has it in for Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and a handful of other conservative women.
Dowd is upset with these strong women and describes them as mean simply because they are out playing hardball in the field of politics. There was once a time when women like Dowd fought for the rights of all women and told us that women are just as tough as men. Now it seems that sentiment is only reserved for liberal women. Conservative women who are in the game are mean. Sharron Angle tells Harry Reid to man up and she is a horrible, mean woman.
Has Dowd ever called Hillary Clinton such things? Clinton uses the F word more than a platoon of special forces soldiers and has been known to throw a few things in the White House (confirmed by a Secret Service acquaintance) and Dowd ignores her meanness.
No, she has to reserve her disgust for the conservative women who are supposed to act like June Cleaver while the MSM, the political pundits, and their opponents ravage them. Can anyone honestly say that Sarah Palin got a fair shake and was treated with respect? Hell no, she was attacked, her family was attacked, and the left treated her like a bastard at a family reunion.
I think Dowd herself has had a few nasty things to say about some or all of the women she mentions but she conveniently ignores that while excoriating them for being mean.
Dowd’s writing is acerbic and it has been said that she is writing to her mother. Seems to me her mother should straighten that girl out. Perhaps a note like, hey Maureen, for goodness sake will you finally get yourself a man who will treat you like a cheap gong so you won’t feel so testy anymore.
Either that or she needs to see Doc Johnson and buy an aid.
We are not going to cure Dowd’s mental issues here so let’s move on.
She claims conservative women are mean. I guess this has something to do with the fact that many of them are WINNING and beating the pants off her liberal buddies. Yes, when conservatives win it is a mean thing, boo hoo.
I also cannot discount the bit of jealousy that must be at play here. Dowd is not too terribly famous and is a boor. She is a has been who has never wielded power.
It has to eat her up that conservative women have better name recognition and are contributing much more to society.
Don’t worry Maureen, your articles provide great value to millions of bird owners and guys who run the fish markets.
I guess Maureen has a right to be mad. The women she hates are influencing politics and the direction of this country. Some of them are beating Dowd’s candidates like they are red headed step children.
And that can’t sit too well with the Queen of boor.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

You Uninformed People Are The Problem
Sep 26, 2010 Political
John Kerry says the Democrats have problems because the voting public is uninformed. This is the elitist Kerry who told college students if they did not study hard and do well they would end up in Iraq (which ignores the large number of military personnel with college degrees). Seems that all the troubles in the world, from Kerry’s viewpoint, are because of the not so smart among us. You are obviously not too bright if you are uninformed and angry at Democrats.
I imagine that Kerry did not consider that many more people than ever are actually informed about what is going on and THAT is why they are angry. People know that the Democrats have not been listening to them. People know that Democrats ignored the will of the public, those they represent, and did what they wanted.
In fact, the anger is there because of uninformed politicians like John Kerry.
He would never believe it because he thinks that people just live in slogans and soundbites and have no depth of knowledge.
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday. Boston Herald
Oh Johnny boy, people are paying quite a bit of attention and that is why you and your Democrats will get their rear ends handed to them in November. And let me say Johnny, that if people are this angry and they have not been paying attention then you had better hope they never start or things will get really ugly.
We see what is going on, we see how you have ignored us, we see the false claims of racism and the other personal attacks on us and we see that you are not doing what we want you to.
We will also see your rears walking out the door next January.
But I will agree with you John on a little of what you say but I have to reword it. The only reason Democrats have control and Barack Obama won is because people did not pay attention. People were too wrapped up in this messianic BS and hype to see what was going on. The post election questions show that. In fact, the only thing most people paid any attention to was his color. They had to vote for the black man to either show racial solidarity or to alleviate some perceived white guilt.
And yes John, people who are influenced by a simple slogan are morons who need to have their voting rights taken away.
HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE
I think you get the point.
Nothing wrong with a slogan John as long as you are intelligent enough to learn the issues. When your voters are living off the government and can’t articulate any position you hold then you are dealing with the uninformed with which you have a problem.
We call then Democrat voters who, by the way, are as uninformed as the Democrat politicians who pander to them.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Smartest POTUS Evah!
Aug 30, 2010 Political
The Far Side had a cartoon some years ago where a door to the school for the gifted had a sign that read “Pull” and a supposedly gifted kid pushing (here). Interestingly, we have some very gifted people occupying the White House. They just passed through a rainy New Orleans on their way home from their 8th vacation this year and Barry and Michelle had a few problems.
Two things are troubling about the above picture. One is that Michelle is ducking as if she is tall enough to hit the top rail that is the focus of troubling thing number two. Barack Obama, the smartest POTUS evah, is holding the umbrella in such a fashion that he cannot get through the gate. Obama does not appear to be lowering the umbrella acting instead as if he can get it to pass through the metal crossbar. Well, they say he can walk on water…
Smartest Evah……
Environmentally Friendly Rally Attendees
The Restoring Honor Rally was Saturday. The people who attended that rally, the ones who were raised to take care of themselves and to respect the property of others, left no mess. They picked up their trash and left the place clean. This is a stark contrast to the Obama inauguration where those who believe in dependence on government and cradle to grave care left tons of trash lying about for someone else to clean up. This also begs the question about which group actually cares more about the environment.
I read that some lib websites were claiming the group cleaned up to deprive parks employees from getting work. Don’t they have jobs to do whether or not there is trash to pick up?
Not So Smart Congresswoman
Eddie Bernice Johnson is in a bit of hot water. She used money allocated to the black caucus to award scholarships to children in her family and to children of a top aide. This was not allowed according to the guidelines for awarding the money. The awards are invalid and the rules state the money must be repaid.
Johnson claims she did not do this deliberately and that names come across her desk and that others handle this blah, blah. Her two grandchildren were recipients and it is unlikely their names came across her desk and she did not recognize them. She was aware of the rules and should have investigated further (maybe it was kids with the same names). She did not do what she was supposed to and I find it very unlikely that she made a mistake.
I believe she is in a safe Congressional District that was drawn up to favor her party and she felt safe in an environment where the word racist flies as soon as someone has an issue with a black politician. She was using funds to help her family and the children of her aide.
This is wrong and should be fully investigated.
Already Enough Boobs In Politics
A Venezuelan politician is holding a raffle to raise campaign cash. He is raffling off a set of breast implants in order to raise money for his campaign. I wonder if he is running for an official office or a titular position…
I hope it does not come down to this in America. Our political system already has way too many boobs in it…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Pelosi Is One Reason We Are In Trouble
Jul 3, 2010 Political
Nancy Pelosi is a shrewd politician but she is as dumb as a box of rocks. Her entire existence revolves around getting reelected and staying in power so she can institute Socialist programs. She lies constantly in order to push her agenda.
Remember, it was Pelosi who claimed TEA Party members (and others dissenting) were not patriotic and were violent. She had heard the rhetoric before and it was dangerous. Of course, the violence has come from the left and the stuff she heard before with the violence was liberal on liberal violence where Harvey Milk was killed over a political dispute among politicians.
The other problem with Pelosi is that she has no concept of what it is to run a balanced budget. She has no concept of how the economy works. She has no concept in what it means to make payroll, to produce profit, to provide for employees or to combat government intrusiveness as most business people do. This is evident in her latest bout of moronitis.
Nancy Pelosi said that unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs. Pelosi said this about unemployment; “It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name.”
Only a moron would tell you that unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs. First of all, unemployment is paid out of taxpayer money and money paid in by employers. If people are receiving this money and spending it they are just redistributing taxpayer money from one pair of hands to another. Any sales tax collected will never reach the level of the taxes paid to fund unemployment.
Besides, when people on unemployment spend money in casinos and strip clubs, how many jobs are created and how is this activity needed in any way?
It is also well known that you get more of what you subsidize. If you pay people to be on unemployment then more people will be on unemployment. There are jobs being offered right now that pay $12 an hour and people are not applying because they get more on unemployment. Pelosi would have you believe that paying people to do absolutely nothing will motivate them to actually do something. As long as unemployment benefits (and the term benefit is misleading at best) are continually extended there is no incentive for people to get a job. If those benefits had an end date then people would be forced to find a job. By continually extending the end date the motivation to find a job is diminished.
Pelosi is a moron who does not understand this concept.
She is also working against what reasonable people can see. If unemployment is the fastest way to create jobs then why, after extension of benefits up to 99 weeks (nearly TWO YEARS), has unemployment not been fixed. If it is a way to create jobs then why are we losing jobs each month? Why is the unemployment rate hovering around 10% and why did we lose 125,000 jobs in June. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate would be much higher but the number of people who have quit looking and reportedly dropped out of the labor market has increased which means that there are fewer people looking for jobs so they are not counted in the numbers.
I wonder if they are receiving unemployment checks. We should be counting each and every person getting an unemployment check in the numbers even if they have stopped looking for work (I thought Pelosi said the checks would create employment).
If unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs then why has the Obama regime missed its job creation goals and why has Joe Biden been forced to eat his words about how many jobs would be created?
And perhaps the biggest question of all is, if unemployment benefits are the fastest way to create jobs why have we not seen massive numbers of jobs created? Millions of people are on unemployment and it has been a few years since this all started so we should see all these jobs that Pelosi says unemployment checks create.
No, it will not happen because unemployment will NOT create jobs. Spending taxpayer money will NOT create jobs. Government does not create private sector jobs which are the only jobs that will increase tax revenues (public sector jobs are paid for with taxes so they do not help anything).
If we want to create jobs and get people off unemployment then we need to decrease taxes and decrease government involvement in the private sector. We need to give certainty to the business world that it will not be punished when hiring employees. Government has failed to do this. It punishes businesses based on numbers of employees (if you have more than 50 employees you must provide this or that to them) and those things keep businesses from hiring people. Why hire 51 people and have to pay when you can make do with 50 and not pay?
Government is the problem, not the solution. And it continues to be the problem because it is imposing one rule after another and those rules are stifling the creation of jobs. Businesses are worried about the cost of cap and trade, health care takeover and the tax increases that will hit 1 January 2011. These will potentially cost money and businesses are not going to hire people when these business killing items are out there posing a real threat.
Government programs like these and unemployment are job killing measures.
Despite what that moron Nancy Pelosi says, unemployment checks do NOT create employment.
She cannot show this to be true because it is not. Once again, she is lying to people for political purposes.
But I have to wonder, if this is such an important issue (and if they are willing to compromise), why did Democrats go on their week long 4th of July vacation (they come back the 12th) without passing the measure to increase unemployment?
They refused a Republican compromise that would have required them to pay for at least some of the extended benefits (Democrats promised Pay Go meaning they would pay for everything they passed) and went on vacation instead.
Voters should remember this in November. Help Pelosi by putting lots and lots of Congress critters on unemployment.
Remember, she said it is the fastest way to create jobs.
Moron…

Pelosi Is Delusional
May 30, 2010 Political
Nancy Pelosi is using the favorite tactic of the left, the method of leadership that defines the morons residing in liberal land and that is to blame George Bush. Pelosi has blamed the Gulf oil spill on Bush (I bet he blew up the oil rig like he did the levees in New Orleans) and says it is the people he put in the positions of oversight who botched this.
“Many of the people appointed in the Bush administration are still burrowed in the agencies that are supposed to oversee the [oil] industry,” Pelosi said when asked if Democrats could have prevented or mitigated the crisis by keeping a closer watch on the industry.
Added the Speaker, “the cozy relationships between the Bush administration’s agency leadership and the industry is clear…I’ve heard no complaints from my members about the way the president has handled it,” Pelosi stated. Washington Examiner
The Examiner asked for the names of these people to whom Pelosi refers but no response was received. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Pelosi to provide them.
No matter who put these people in their jobs (and the one Obama put in was fired or resigned) they work for Obama and the oil spill happened on his watch. If there was no oversight then this too happened on his watch.
He has had 18 months to make changes and get things right (if he thought they were wrong) but he has allowed his point person to botch things, skip inspections, and give awards to oil rigs for the safety displayed.
And if Pelosi has had no complaints from her members then she has not been paying attention. There are some House Democrats who are not happy with Obama and the response. If they did not complain to her directly then she should turn on the news.
Rewriting history is a tactic the left loves.
Here is a newsflash. The public is tired of hearing everything blamed on Bush. There comes a time when the people in power have to accept responsibility and that time has long passed. The public knows who is in charge and who is responsible.
Let us band together to fire Nancy Pelosi from her job as Speaker.
Never surrender, never submit.
