Has anyone told them?

It’s not the military’s policy.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Lawyers for a gay rights group asked a federal judge Friday to impose an injunction halting what they called the military’s unconstitutional “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

Congress created the bill, President B.J. Clinton signed it into law.

Don’t blame the military for U. S. Law.

Kagan

Yesterday I wrote my Congressman regarding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States. I told him I hoped he planned to vote against her confirmation, and described some of my reasons. Today I saw this testimony, and Senator Burr, I hope you heard it, too:

A Veteran Puts Kagan to Shame

Michael Steele is a Moron

This is Michael Steel trying to be, to quote him, “too cute by half.”

“This is a war of Obama’s choosing.” Apparently he forgot about Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and 9-11.

I’m with Bill Kristol on this one… Michael Steele: Resign.

Conspiracy Theorists Gone Wild!

I don’t know who Mr. Orengo is – he could be a Kenyan Ron Paul – but I find it hilarious to read this in an official (Kenyan) government document, over two weeks old, having heard not a peep about it on the news.

If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America?

Mr. Orengo, Minister for Lands, Kenyan National Assembly, 25 Mar 2010

Late Friday Night

Jonathan — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:45:16 +0000

In the last year, how many times can you recall the phrase “in a statement released late Friday night” in reference to some embarrassing tidbit released by the Obama administration? Too many, certainly. This morning, it was the new muslim envoy to yet another radical islamic nutjob group (why do we seem to have so many of these now?). He “regrets” what he’s been quoted as saying in support of some terrorists. But he’s got a high ranking job in Barry’s house of jokers. Yay. Go team.

With shit like this going on in the White House, we’re supposed to be mad at Rush for saying he wants Barry (‘s policies) to fail?

My version goes like this: “I don’t want this president to cause my country to fail (and will fight against that end), but I definitely want his efforts to radically change the country to fail. Hard.”

2010 State of the Union

I mentioned this to people at work the other day, but haven’t seen another comment/post/blog about it, so I guess I’d better before I forget.

The president has an annoying habit of thumping his hands on the podium when he speaks. I don’t know if he’s always had it and I never noticed, or if having to say fairly nice things about the country brought it out of him… but recall the SOTU speech, and think of the pattern of hands… small gesture, fold, thump. gesture broadly, fold, thump. point, fold, thump. rinse. repeat.

Watch for yourself. I literally could not hear what he was saying for the last fifteen minutes or so. I think it was on purpose.

I hope his hands are sore from it now.

Was that a deadline?

Make no mistake (and damn do I hate that phrase), I have no desire to see the maggots housed in the cells in Guantanamo released anywhere in the world, let alone inside the continental United States. That being said, I just cannot resist the urge to point out another failure of Barry and Co.

Obama orders Guantanamo closure

Thursday, 22 January 2009
Mr Obama signed the three executive orders on Thursday, further distancing his new administration from the policies of his predecessor, George W Bush.

He said the Guantanamo prison “will be closed no later than one year from now.”

So Barry, it’s been a year. This ill-advised plan looks to be going about as well as your economic schemes. And healthcare takeover.

PLEASE keep up the good work!

Obama Fan

Jonathan — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:31:05 +0000

Got this one from a friend who likes to forward jokes and such… gave me a chuckle, so I thought I’d share:

A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans.

Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.

The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different… again.

Little Johnny said, “Because I’m not an Obama fan.”

The teacher asked, “Why aren’t you a fan of Obama?” Johnny said, “Because I’m a Republican.”

The teacher asked him why he’s a Republican. Little Johnny answered, “Well, my Mom’s a Republican and my Dad’s a Republican, so I’m a Republican.”

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, “If your mom were a moron and your dad were an idiot, what would that make you?”

With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, “That would make me an Obama fan.”

Saturday Night Politics

Jonathan — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:22:10 +0000

Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed.
Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend.

Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary?

BOHICA, America.

This is the kind of shit your hopey-changey vote earned you. I hope you’re proud.
