OBAMA OFFERS TO TWEET YOUR MOM ON MOTHER’S DAY

Hustle in 5 or more donors to Obama’s election campaign and your name goes into a hat. The lucky winner gets his mom tweeted by the President of the United States. LOL!

It’s no joke. Here is a link to the official Obama-Biden Blog where Rufus Gifford, Obama’s National Finance Director made the announcement yesterday. Just because it’s a real doesn’t mean it isn’t funny. After all, Biden’s name is on the website. If Biden didn’t originate the idea it must have come from Avon where the Lady who brings in the most new accounts for the month gets a pink handbag. The idea is not without risk, however. What if someone calls our leader a Mother-Tweeter and it sticks?

Well anyway, if you want your mother shouted at or tweeted personally by the big BHO himself this will probably be your last chance. Enroll your dog, your cat or uncle John if you need to in order to get the five. I know, uncle John was a Republican but once they have passed away they can be voted either way. I learned that from a friend in 2008. A lot of Republicans turn Democrat when they die, he said.

Of course you may not win the drawing; then what? You will have to tweet your mother yourself or buy her flowers. I suggest you forget the tweeting thing and just go for flowers and the best Mother’s Day card you can find. A kiss would be a nice touch too.

WHITHER EUROPE? PAIN TODAY OR GREATER PAIN TOMORROW

You can’t cure an alcoholic.  It is something an alcoholic has to do himself.  First he must recognize the problem; then he must be willing to endure the cure.  Europe isn’t there yet on either count.

France has just chosen to go full bore Socialist, riots continue in Greece as the Neo-Nazis gain political favor and German voters are prepped to depose Angela Merkel.  The nanny states with their unsustainable level of benefits are running out of money and the children are shouting like bloody murder for the continuation of their luxury.  Reality is unacceptable so they are voting for promises.  Apparently the pain has to get worse before Europe will be willing to suffer through the cure.

Some argue that the way out is to spend more to rev up the engine of government income which, of course, is greater tax revenue.  The argument to spend more is based on the assumption that the problem is an economic recession.  That’s understandable but this time it’s a false premise.  The problem is not just another recession.  The European private sector is not robust but it’s healthy.  It’s only sovereign nations that are bankrupt.  The wealth of a nation is derived from two sources, private assets and income that can be taxed and to a much lesser extent its mineral rights.  Taken together the wealth is large but government’s capacity to spend is even larger.  When nations face insolvency during a more or less normal economic sector down cycle, the problem is overspending, not the economy.

SANTORUM SUPPORTS ROMNEY, LET THE HEALING BEGIN

Rick Santorum has given his full blessing to his campaign manager’s decision to work in the Romney campaign to bring Santorum’s constituency into Romney’s camp.  Santorum is expected to follow up with a full endorsement soon.

Mike Biundo’s decision to join the Romney campaign is a significant step in the healing process after the hotly contested primary race.  If the other Republican contenders also show support, as some surely will, Romney’s chances of ousting Barack Obama will be very good indeed.  Even hard core Democrats have lost a lot of their enthusiasm for the President.  They will not vote against Obama but many will not bother going to the polls.  Republicans, on the other hand, see the 2012 election as the most important vote they will cast in their lifetime and not succumb to the same lethargy.

Santorum’s support is the first pickle out of the jar.  The rest will come easy.  Obama has a little over six months to pull off a miracle on jobs and the economy.  What he could not do in 3 ½ years he is not going to do in 6 months.  Money is pouring in to fund the fight.  Mitt Romney is beginning to look like a winner.

NBC FAILS TO APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT IT DID

Steve Capus,president of NBC News apologized for a mistake.  What mistake?  It would be the height of naivety to believe that such careful altering of the tape was a mistake and not a deliberate act.

A respectable news agency will have zero tolerance for dishonesty of this sort.  Steve Capus is the captain of the ship; he is the one who should go, not just some anonymous producer who got caught exposing the extent of bias that appears to exist throughout the network.  At an upright news outlet a producer would know he was risking his job if he doctored a tape in a way to give an allusion opposite to the truth.

NBC is becoming MSNBC lite.

An aside.  False apologies are common place.  When an apology takes the form “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings” it is not an apology at all. It’s an expression of regret that the offended person doesn’t agree with the offender.  A: You are an ugly pig.  B: You owe me an apology. A: I apologize because you were offended when I pointed it out.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DEALS WITH THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

A rocket from Egypt hits Israel.

Obama administration officials are meeting with envoys from Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.

The White House – “We believe that it is in the interest of the United States to engage with all parties that are committed to democratic principles, especially nonviolence,” said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.

OK, but what does that have to do with meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood? Vietor’s statement qualifies as the non-sequitur of the week.

The Truth About the Muslim Brotherhood – Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood has been an immensely powerful force in Middle East politics.  Their Mission Statement is: “Allah is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.”

The Brotherhood’s founder, Hassan al-Banna, stated that the group’s goal was to assert Islam’s manifest destiny and create an empire governed by Islamic religious law and unified in an autocratic caliphate. He claimed “It is in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.”

Vietor again – “In all our conversations with these groups, we emphasize the importance of respect for minority rights, the full inclusion of women, and our regional security concerns.”

That would be all well and good if you knew who you are talking to, but it is obvious you don’t. And I am giving Obama the benefit of a doubt at that.

NBC’S CONTRIBUTION TO RACISM

Bias on the part of the main stream media is one thing; deliberate distortion, make that lying because it’s more accurate, is another. I am referring to the doctoring of Zimmerman’s conversation with the 911 dispatcher on the Today Show that went as follows.

The conversation as NBC played the doctored recording:

Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”

If that were the recording it would indicate bias. But the actual conversation was:

Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.”
Dispatcher: “OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?”
Zimmerman: “He looks black.”

We have come to expect this type of dishonesty from the likes of Al Sharpton. The general public discounts it knowing the lack of credibility of the source. However, NBC is still a generally respected network.
Freedom of speech is and should remain broadly interpreted but it does not give you the right to falsely cry fire in a crowded theatre. What NBC has done is play into Al Sharpton’s incitement to riot. NBC’s license should be suspended. It will not be, of course. NBC has a history of deliberate dishonest reporting.  If you remember they rigged a bomb under the fender of a truck to explode on external impact and then crashed another vehicle into it to set off the bomb “proving” the trucks were dangerous and condemning the manufacturer. The truck episode was not as egregious because it had no potential for the loss of life and was not racist.
UPDATE (completion)
However, NBC’s act fans the flames of insurrection which conceivably could cause personal injury and loss of life.  At the very least it is an act of inexcusable irresponsibility.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS – 3/30/12

A race baiting former Black Panther wears a hoodie on the floor of Congress in defiance of the rules of the House of Representatives.  He happened to be a Democratic Congressman.

Obama failed to respond in any form to any of three letters from parents of sons who were murdered in cold blood while visiting America.  It happens the victims were (1) British, (2) white and (3) their parents don’t vote in U.S. elections.  It also happens to be that the killer was black.

President Barack Obama’s budget proposal was rejected by the House.  It happens that not even one Democrat voted in favor of Barack Obama’s budget.

IRS seeks 4,000 agents, $303 million for Obamacare.” says the headline in the Washington Examiner.  What is the IRS going to audit, pray tell?  Whether or not you smoke?

John Hinderaker, well known attorney and co-founder of the Power Line blog wonders how the federal government can “force you into a government-run health care system; force you to pay for your neighbor’s health care; make you contract with physicians and hospitals exclusively on terms dictated by the government; and, perhaps, make it a crime for you to procure health care for your family outside of the government’s system”.

These are just some random observations for just one day.

MARCO RUBIO ENDORSES MITT ROMNEY – WHAT IT MEANS

Rubio’s endorsement is the final blow ending any chance Santorum still had of securing the nomination.  Rubio is highly regarded by members of the Tea Party faction making his endorsement a very significant one.  In fact, Rubio would be the ideal choice for Vice Presidential running mate.

Imagine Rubio on the campaign trail – young, Spanish speaking, popular, experienced in government but not part of the Washington establishment, from the South to balance Romney’s northern Massachusetts handicap.  And Rubio has fire in his delivery that Romney does not.  But would he run if asked?

IS CARVILLE ADMITTING OBAMACARE IS AN ALBATROSS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

If the Supreme Court overturns Obamacare “I think this will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Democratic Party,” according to Democratic strategist James Carville.  Puzzled?  Here’s his reasoning,

“You know, what the Democrats are going to say, and it is completely justified, ‘We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority’.”

Carville … predicted health care costs will only increase in the future, in which case Republicans will be to blame for leading the drive to expel a federal program designed to help Americans cover those costs. (CNN)

“Then the Republican Party will own the healthcare system for the foreseeable future. And I really believe that. That is not spin,” Carville said.

Pass a bad law and then root for it to be repealed so you can blame the other party for the mess you created.  Good plan, Mr. Democratic Strategist.

Comments coming from Supreme Court Justices in response to Obama’s Solicitor General have been a riot.  Watching the Court hasn’t been this much fun since the Justices overturned Roosevelt’s NRA (Google it).

THE CALL FOR VIGILANTE JUSTICE IN FLORIDA

In the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack that was carried out by 19 Muslims, President George W. Bush took quick pre-emptive steps to prevent backlash from arising against Muslims in America.  In the aftermath of the killing of an unarmed Black youth, President Barack H. Obama has done little, some would say nothing to quell the backlash that is rising in the Black community against non-blacks in America.  What if the shooter had been plain vanilla white instead of someone from a Hispanic/Black family?

The New Black Panther Society has issued a $10,000 “reward for the capture” of George Zimmerman, the shooter.  Zimmerman is not on the loose and hiding.  So in this case capture means kidnap: every Panther member knows that.  When Panther leader Mikhail Muhammad announced the reward he called for 5,000 Black men to mobilize and bring Zimmerman in.  “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” Muhammad said, “If the government won’t do the job, we’ll do it,” followed by chants of “freedom or death” and “justice for Trayvon.”

It’s vigilante justice calling for a trial-less lynching.  In times like these a black President should take every possible measure to show he is race neutral.  When racism rears its ugly head, no one is in a better position to quell it than a black President who is willing, able and anxious to restore harmony.  Unfortunately, we don’t have one.
