Racism From the Left Gets a Pass at MSNBC

There was no uproar, offense, or calls for resignation at MSNBC when former DNC director of communications Karen Finney described Republicans as “those crazy crackers on the right . . . with their very hateful language”. Making this clearly racist remark even more stunning was the fact that Finney was railing against, and calling for an end to, hateful language when she said it.

This is a perfect example of the one-way street many progressive liberals blindly travel on their way to “fundamentally transforming” America. For years, racism has been a trump card for the left while they considered themselves immune from such allegations. Many have even expressed their firm belief that blacks and other minorities can never be racists.

The left has deluded itself into believing that hate, racism, stupidity, and evil only exists on the right. President Obama, who once campaigned on being a “uniter”, polarized the country further than it has ever been and fueled the fire of this delusion. Arrogantly refusing to accept responsibility for anything that is wrong, Obama has gone so far as to blame hurricane Sandy for the recent drop in the GDP and FOX News for the “nasty atmosphere” in Washington – an atmosphere he helped create.

With most of the mainstream media on the same page as the White House and avidly believing in and promoting this one-way-street delusion, it can only get worse. Silence from those who know better enables it to continue. The time has come to speak out, or face the real possibility of delusional Joe Biden becoming our next president. If that doesn’t motivate you to speak up, you’ve become part of the problem.

Biden’s Bogus Boasting

Vice president Biden is loved by the liberal media for speaking “off the cuff”, but he has long surpassed that tendency and now speaks more “off the wall”. That’s what happens when someone is given a pass for poor behavior; it gets worse over time. Biden is becoming a caricature of himself and it is no longer amusing.

His latest off-the-wall stretching of the truth occurred during a meeting of mayors in Washington where he was cheer leading for Obama’s gun control measures. He claimed to have been golfing a quarter-mile away from the Amish schoolhouse shooting in 2006 and heard the gunshots, but the nearest golf course is five miles away and he was not there at the time. Unless he was putting alone in the woods, his story is a total fabrication.

Biden loves to make up stories that give him a seemingly first-hand understanding of issues that are usually outside his personal experience. He is the epitome of the self-serving, ingratiating politician who feels the need to connect with people by “sharing their pain”. Biden pretends to be a “common Joe” in order to bring himself down to a typical voter’s level – a level he has been far removed from for quite some time. He feels empowered to make up stories to do so.

It is no surprise that Obama seems to have a special connection with Biden as does the liberal media. It is also no surprise that there is talk of him running for president in 2016. It would be a continuation of the farce and a further return on the media’s investment in Obama.

It is time to put a stop to Biden’s buffoonery and lies. He is an embarrassment to the White House and to the nation. It is unfortunate that he remains vice president, but it would be a disaster if he became president. That idea needs to be nipped in the bud now.

The Keystone Cop Obama Administration

There are so many contradictions, missteps, and outright errors occurring in the Obama administration that the infamous Keystone Cops are in danger of losing their place in American culture as the epitome of ineptness. Unfortunately, the Keystone Cops were fictional and the Obama administration is real.

One need only listen to Vice president Biden speak for more than two minutes to get a taste of the clown side of this administration. Biden’s latest gaffe, asserting that the middle class has been buried for the last four years, directly goes against Obama’s ‘blame-Bush’ message on the economy he claims to have saved. Biden inadvertently spoke the truth but will surely be taken to the woodshed because of it.

Listening to Obama’s press secretary, “Baghdad Bob” Jay Carney, rationalizing the irrational policies and actions of the administration has also been very clownish. One can almost feel sorry for Carney as he tries to spit in your ear and tell you it’s raining – almost. It usually just ends up being an insult to one’s intelligence.

Speaking of the economy, another comedy skit from this bumbling administration has Obama aide Stephanie Cutter denying they are blaming Bush while at the same time campaign adviser Robert Gibbs is blaming Bush. It seems it’s not only Biden who is confused.

The administration’s mishandling of the attacks in Libya are Keystone Cop antics displaying incompetence dangerous to our nation’s security. Furthermore, the ensuing cover-up proves that re-election is, and has been, the top priority for Obama. Admitting terrorism contradicts his boasting of beating terrorists; therefore, he blames a video.

One can only hope that at this time next year we will be repairing the damage and be able to look back with laughter at the punch lines from this administration, such as: “Solyndra green jobs”, “You can keep the coverage you have”, “Government Motors”, “You didn’t build that yourself”, “The private sector is doing fine”, “Post-racial era”, “Fast and Furious”, “Fair share”, and so many more.

If, however, this comedy show is renewed for another season, there will be little laughter and there will be little hope. We will have to resort to old Keystone Cop movies if we will want to laugh about incompetence, though they will seem like amateurs in comparison.

‘Victory’ a Dirty Word

In a recent interview, Vice President Biden verbally strutted like a peacock in a victory dance over the removal of troops from Iraq, emphasizing that the administration is “…not claiming victory”, making his victory dance look pretty foolish. This is the same Joe Biden who adamantly predicted that the surge in Iraq would not work. The surge, of course, was a Bush strategy that paved the way for what Biden is now claiming ownership of but, wink-wink, not claiming a victory.

As he does every time he speaks longer than 20 seconds, Biden let his mouth get the best of him and further informed us there is no validity to “…the idea that there is sufficient capacity to bring down this government (Iraq), to fundamentally alter this democratic process that is under way.” Forget for a moment how much like ‘victory’ that sounds and contemplate the hubris involved. Of course he immediately warned, again, that “We’re not claiming victory”, just in case he was misunderstood.

The very idea of “victory” is distasteful to this politically correct administration (and the far left), so Biden needs to be concerned about it. President Obama, back in 2009, told us that he is “…always worried about using the word ‘victory’…” so it should be no surprise that this administration’s policies for Iraq and Afghanistan were never geared for winning or a ‘victory’. Those policies were always geared for nothing more than Obama’s personal political gain. Biden, being an excellent sycophant, understands this perfectly.

Left Finally Recognizes Terrorism – But Only in Tea Party

After years of trying to deny the threat from fanatic Islamic terrorists, the non-judgmental left has finally caved in and recognized that terrorism does exist and we are in danger. Unfortunately, they see this terroristic threat coming from the Tea Party and they are marching in lock-step and voicing the same talking point, hoping to scare the public into submission.

The left has denigrated the Tea Party since its inception, fearing the power a group of concerned citizens can wield against their idealistic and unrealistic ideology. They have called the Tea Party everything from stupid to anti-American to crazy. Finding those accusations to have little effect, they now are turning to something the American people understand much better than they do – terrorism.

The NY Times, upset with opposition to irresponsible spending, backed this latest tactic with columnist Nicholas Kristof likening the Tea Party to Al Qaeda and Thomas Friedman calling it a “Hezbollah faction”. Chris Matthews, a parrot of leftist talking points, called the Tea Party “baby-kidnapping terrorists”, attempting to up the ante with hyperbole, but only succeeding in making himself look more ridiculous.

William Yeomans, an American University law professor, writing at Politico, said Tea Party members have become “full-blown terrorists”, as if planes are being hijacked and suicide bombers are on the White House grounds. Speaking of the White House, Vice President Joe Biden (no stranger to asinine remarks) got into the act by saying Republicans had “acted like terrorists” during the debt limit negotiations, putting the administration’s seal of approval onto this latest tactic.

It is ridiculous to equate the Tea Party with terrorism. However, the left (“elites”) continues to believe the American people are dumb enough to be swayed by such exaggerated rhetoric. Perhaps the next election will show the result of treating Americans like fools.

Thank You Donald Trump

CNN is reporting that President Obama has released his birth certificate:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/27/white-house-releases-obama-birth-certificate/?hpt=T1&iref=BN1

You can link to a PDF of the document from their story.

Thank you, Donald Trump, for having the will to get this done. The question is, why did it take so long?

Now the debate over what makes someone a “Natural Born Citizen” can begin, although it would be nice if we could move on to the important problems we have in this country.

After all, the outcome, should President Obama be found to be unqualified to be president is–

President Biden???

Now that is truly scary.

Joe Biden Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot–Again

The Vice President is a walking gaffe machine. From TheHill.com:

Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Philadelphia Friday, compared Republicans in Congress to people who excuse rapists by blaming their victims.

The vice president, known for speaking his mind and at times putting his foot in his mouth, said that Republicans who want to cut spending while at the same time cutting taxes for the wealthy are similar to rape apologists.

Biden On (High) Speed

Vice President Joe Biden routinely speaks before he thinks and since his gaffes are usually comical and relatively harmless, he is given a pass and treated like a court jester. His rhetoric backing the administration’s intent on a high speed rail, however, is just too over-the-top to let him slide.

In proudly announcing that the administration is prepared to spend $53 billion on a high speed rail network, Biden provided a comparison of the US with Japan and China, saying: “This is about seizing the future…If we do not, you tell me how America is going to be able to lead the world in the 21st century.” In support of this idea, he has also said: “If we don’t get a grip, folks, they’ll not only be teaching us, they’re gonna own our kids.”

Who knew a high speed rail was so important? According to Biden, it is an issue of national importance and our very existence as a nation is at stake. He discovered this secret by traveling on Amtrak from Wilmington to Washington during his career on the Hill. This is the same Amtrak that was the government’s attempt to nationalize America’s passenger trains and has been economically failing for 30 years, receiving $25 billion in taxpayer dollars that still can’t get it to break even.

Biden now tells us the government needs to invest (lose) even more in nationalizing passenger trains in order that Japan and China won’t “own our kids”. Forget all the other things that the US should attempt to lead the world in such as: freedom, individual rights, advanced technology, space exploration, alternative energy sources, food supply, medical treatment, standard of living, etc. The “gold mine” of world leadership is buried in high speed rails.

One may assume that the first government high speed rail will “coincidently” be built between Wilmington and Washington. Cheer leading, Biden’s forte, must have its benefits.

Calling “Sheriff” Joe Biden–Again

Remember when President Obama assigned Vice President Joe Biden to oversee the stimulus project? http://wp.me/pBslf-db

“As part of his duty, Joe will keep an eye on how precious tax dollars are being spent. To you, he’s Mr. Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff — because if you’re misusing taxpayer money, you’ll have to answer to him,” the president said.

Apparently the “Sheriff” hasn’t been to Baltimore.

Maryland officials are suggesting that $45 million in stimulus money be used as “Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds” and issued to help John Paterakis, one of the wealthiest men in Baltimore and president of the one of the largest privately-owned bakeries in the country, finish his Four Seasons hotel and spa in Harbor East, Baltimore.

It seems that Maryland’s Department of Business and Economic Development only has until the end of the year to award $101 million in “Recovery Zone” allocations, or possibly lose the aid. Why lose perfectly good money when you can waste it on a private project being built by a wealthy man?

According to the Baltimore Business Journal, a DBED spokeswoman says the money will be used to complete the construction on the project rather than refinance it. Some of the money will be used to buy and install furnishings, equipment, machinery, and other improvements for the 256-room hotel.

In what universe is a Four Seasons hotel near the Inner Harbor of Baltimore considered a “Recovery Zone?”

And here’s the kicker—Richard Clinch, an economist who has advised the developers—said funding the hotel should “help create hundreds of jobs for Baltimore’s low-income workers.”

Guess what else would create hundreds of jobs? The Free Market.

Let the hotel be foreclosed upon if Paterakis can’t afford to complete it. The new owner will get it for a good price, finish and furnish it on the company’s own dime, and the Maryland Department of “Business and Economic Development” (do they even know what that means?) could send the unused stimulus money back to the federal government where it could be used to pay down the deficit—a little.

Clinch also said: “To me, this is not a bad use of stimulus money to promote economic development.”

Right. How about if the taxpayers keep the stimulus money and private enterprises fund their own hotels?

Where is “Sheriff” Joe Biden when we need him?

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Vice President Biden will headline a public rally Tuesday afternoon at Pennsylvania State University as part of a push by Democrats to excite young voters about the midterm election.
The rally will be held in conjunction with an event attended by President Obama at the University of Wisconsin, Democratic National Committee spokesman Michael Czin said.
