Today’s “Pot. Kettle” Moment …

Posted by s.z. on August 14th, 2008

 . . .comes from Bill O’Reilly’s latest column, Rockin’ in the Free World.

It seems that Bill, who recently attended an Earth, Wind, and Fire concert, was amazed to find that the lead singer (a) was still alive; (b) didn’t use any more crack or slap around any more ‘hos than a white singer; or (c) didn’t badmouth America. 

While “a” and “b” may be true, the correct answer is “c,” because Bill’s sputterings for this week center on the idea that although Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Chris Martin have the constitutional right to voice their opinion (and so those who say the rockers should ”just shut up and sing” should just shut their pieholes and stay off of Bill’s turf), actually the singers should just say what Bill wants them to say and then refrain from singing.

Anyway, here’s our “Pot, Kettle” moment for today:

What annoys me about Springsteen, Young and Martin, in particular, is that they never debate the issues. They never show us exactly how deep their political thinking is; how wide their frame of reference is. Instead, they yell out dumb stuff to their zombie followers and revel in the applause.

BTW, Bill has come up with 16 reasons why you should pay money to Join His Zombie Followers.  I especially like reason #4:

4.  One show a night not enough for you? Get more Bill in your life with access to exclusive video clips of his travels, television appearances, and special events.  Have access to Bill’s world at your fingertips 24-7!

I can’t think of anything more disturbing.

UPDATE:  Remember when we told you that the Russia/Georgia war was was all Barack’s fault?  Well, it turns out we were wrong: the real reason for the conflict is that Vladimir Putin is a vampire.  It’s all explained in Bill’s Column

[...]

Now we have Vladimir Putin, the Russian martinet, who is orchestrating the violence in Georgia in order to show the world that the Russian military is back in fighting form.

[...]

But why is Putin doing this? Well, like Dracula, it is in his blood.

[...]

Putin is one tough customer. It will be interesting to see if the United States will elect a leader who can effectively neutralize him. Because if that does not happen, old Vlad, like Dracula, will commit scourge on the countryside.

So, kids, who are YOU going to vote for: wimpy Barack “I support gay vampire marriage” Obama, or tough, old John Van Helsing McCain?  Vote wrong and you’ll get bad actors comitting scourge all over your countryside.

Yesterday Sheri mentioned that NewsMax was giving away “The Case Against Barack Obama,” by Frodo Bagginses, presumably because turning trees into pulp, and then into wingnutty books, and then back into pulp as quickly as we can is mankind’s only hope of prevailing in our war against the Ents.

Well, our friend Kyle-Anne Shiver over at American Thinker (motto:  “America is like a toilet stall — it’s a good place to sit and think.  It’s also a good place for a Stick-Up™”) wants a piece of the action too.  She quotes from Frodo’s “Obama Timeline” which is sort of like the Obama Body Count, but emphasizes his abuse of power as a state senator, while downplaying his frequent killing sprees, and includes such incriminating items as:

March 19, 1996 – Obama wins Democratic state Senate primary, unopposed.

February, 1997 – Obama co-sponsors a bill that creates affordable local housing funds in order to subsidize private developers.

August 23, 2001 – Bill co-sponsored by Obama, giving special tax credits to donors to private developers of “affordable housing.”

and my favorite: May 21, 2003 – Obama votes for the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act, creating demand for at least 7,000 new “affordable housing” units and letting private developers circumvent local ordinances.

You see, by creating “supply,” Obama also created “demand,” which is pretty presumptuous, because all those people living in appliance boxes and tents made from duct tape and discarded rain ponchos were perfectly content until Obama shouted “Yea” in a crowded state house and stampeded them.  But does he care about the death and destruction he’s left in the wake of his vote for a piece of legislation?

The poor citizens of Illinois are left paying the consequences of Obama’s power.  He’s off in Hawaii resting up for his Denver coronation.

In an effort to determine just how far this pretender is willing to go, Kyle-Anne hit the streets and rousted her usual stoolies:  Rooster.  Huggy Bear.  The Communist Party USA, which snitches that a “broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s ‘Hope, change and unity’ campaign…”

It’s certainly no secret that America has a number of citizens who would prefer rule by a dictatorship of the new-and-improved rainbow proletariat, but that number has traditionally been a small fringe.  Obama seems to believe, however, that he will win the rest of us over.

Kyle-Anne’s not one to be fooled by a flim-flamming mulatto who sprays the proletariate with decorator colors and tries to pass them off as Skittles.  And I’ll be frank here, I too prefer a more bespoke dictatorship; the most I’ll tolerate is a herringbone tweed, or perhaps a small houndstooth check proletariate.

Since 2000, this nation’s citizenry has been bombarded in systematic fashion with polarizing tactics aimed at one person:  President George W. Bush.  And collaterally, at his party.  At the “religious right.”  At “hard-hearted” conservatives.  At anything and everything whatsoever traditional-American.

So pretty much everybody then.  Well I guess that’s what happens when you send your whole military overseas; the citizenry has to systematically bombard themselves.

Since polarizing the President went national, with the nearly complete assistance of the mainstream media, it broke through, rather quickly, to its counter-side and produced a sizeable backlash among large swaths of the American electorate. 

Which is why today, George W. Bush is more popular than Jesus!

Polarizing the President and his Christian faith quickly produced a determined opposition among those voters, which are a clear majority of our citizenry.

More than a majority, they constitute a clear 100% of 23% of the citizenry.  Statistics don’t lie!

The myriad sufferers of “Bush Derangement Syndrome” have been forced to contend with American common sense within a number of constituencies.

For instance, the Professional Association of Glaziers, Window-Tinters, and Presidential Polarizers.

Obama’s attempt to keep his campaign on the polarizing shtick, by constantly attempting to tie John McCain to George W. Bush, does not seem to be working with voters.

Because they love George W. Bush! 

If it were working as planned, then Obama would be leading in polls by double digits

Because people hate George W…wait a second…

If he had stayed in the predominantly local business of “organizing black folks” for long enough to develop real skill at actually solving problems, seeing firsthand what ideas worked to produce good results, then he might be able to run for President after, say 30 years, on the proving grounds of politics.

Picking a single bale of cotton does not qualify one to put on a tailcoat and work in the Mansion, son.

Jonah Has Been Outsourced to Renew America

Posted by s.z. on August 14th, 2008

Jonah’s analysis of the Georgian situation, brilliant as it might have been (in another reality), failed to delve into root causes.  So, for that, we must go to Renew America’s crack geo-political analyst, Time/Warner Todd Huston.

Georgia/Russian war: blame Obama

See how it’s done, Jonah? 

 Anyway, Time/Warner uses most of his column to show off his knowledge of Russian airport history, so let’s just skip to the part where he presents his perfect-storm-of-wingnuttery thesis.

But, the question remains, why did Saakashvili decide to attempt to pacify the separatists in South Ossetia now? The only answer can be that he is trying to solve his problem now while Bush is still in office so that if things escalate too badly he can appeal to American intervention. Saakashvili understands well that if he makes this move after Obama takes the White House, the Georgians cannot expect any help from what will surely be a weak American foreign policy and a gutted American military.

[...]

Once Obama gets into the White House bad actors the world over understand that they will be on the rise. And Mikheil Saakashvili understands this and made his move accordingly.

Obama’s weakness has been the catalyst for this conflict.

Yes, it’s all Obama’s fault for becoming President in 2009 and doing away with the military, thus not being in a position to support Georgia after it provokes Russia in 2010, gets invaded, and becomes an unwilling member of USSR2 (this time it’s personal).  Sadly, Obama’s weakness also leaves us totally vulnerable to the space alien attack of 2011, which results in the human race becoming the protein portion of  Space McDonald’s intergalatic Happy Meals. 

So, the Georgian President had no choice but to go back in time and provoke Russia NOW, while President Bush is still in office and feeling women at the Olympics, in order to save humanity.  See, it all makes sense now! 

And, sadly, bad actors understand this and will be on the rise, thus doubly dooming humanity, which will be forced to deal with hammy performances of “Fiddler on the Roof” on top of everything else.   We can only hope that Time/Warner sends an android back in time to kill Obama’s mother before she gives birth to him.  Otherwise, the future offers no respite from Russian hegemony, peace,  and the cast of “The Hills.”
