Concerning Those SECRET Romney Fundraiser Tapes

Democrats have perfected the art of being simultaneously maudlin and vicious, and above all else ruthlessly partisan in their pious denunciations of partisanship.

                                       --- MARK STEYN November 3, 2002

At least, they're trying to be vicious and maudlin.  However, it falls flat, because I agree with just about everything Romney said.  From the Liberal perception, his comments were damaging to election.  To someone who understands facts, truth, and integral honesty, Romney banged the nail head dead-on.

I said it before, I'll say it again...landslide in November, and demoralized Democrat debris all over the battlefield.

What Happened?

161 years ago today, we were blessed with the initiation of the "paper of record."  In 1851, George Jones and Henry Jarvis Raymond introduced to the world, the New York Daily Times.  This newspaper, selling for one cent a copy, took on the New York Times name in 1857.

The first edition of the New York Daily Times tried to explain its purpose to the potential readers.  It read like this:

We shall be Conservative, in all cases where we think Conservatism essential to the public good;—and we shall be Radical in everything which may seem to us to require radical treatment and radical reform. We do not believe that everything in Society is either exactly right or exactly wrong;—what is good we desire to preserve and improve;—what is evil, to exterminate, or reform.
 

Shocking, isn't it?  The New York Times started out as a "conservative" publication.  Henry Raymond, at the time, was a member of the Whig Party, but eventually became the chairman on the Republican Nation Committee.  Today, however, the New York Times leans so far left that it looks like it's lying down.  And so does its circluation.

 Happy Birthday you Liberal rag, you!!!

Biden in Repose: #9

 

"Hurry up...hurry, damn it.  That little Bloomberg guy is around here somewhere with his soda nazis.  Which one's the Dr. Pepper?  Smart guys drink Dr. Pepper."

The New Stalin...

Now that President Vladimir Putin has firmly aligned the government with the Russian Orthodox Church, he has moved on to create a new burden for the nation: A program to re-industrialize the country. Speaking on Aug. 31 to a Security Council meeting on the military-industrial complex, Putin said: “Over the past 30 years, our defense companies have missed out on several modernization cycles for a number of reasons — above all, chronic financing shortages. … In short, we will have to modernize the entire defense industry … and carry out the same kind of comprehensive and powerful modernization drive that was achieved in the 1930s.”
 

A frightening and well thought out editorial in the St. Petersburg Times by Alexander Golts.  Give it a read.

I Hope We Didn't Hurt Yemen's Feelings When They Started Wrecking & Killing Stuff

Yemen's interior ministry said on Friday four protesters were killed and 48 others including 10 policemen injured in the riots around the US embassy in downtown the capital Sanaa the prior day.

The casualties occurred in the clashes after mobs marched to the US embassy compound, broke in and destroyed equipment and other properties in protest against a movie offending prophet Muhammad, it said.
 

Again with the "offending movie."  I think I'd be embarrassed if I had to write that my fellow countrymen were tearing apart a foreign embassy, and killing/maiming my neighbors because they didn't like the subject of a film.  I DON'T WANT BRUSSELSPROUTS....I HATE BRUSSELSPROUTS...DIE YOU BASTARDS!!!!  Or something like that.

 The mobs destroyed 61 cars, burned 13 and stole another car and they also destroyed the doors of the embassy and the guards' room, the ministry said, pointing out that 8 suspects, aged between 18-30 years old, were arrested in connection with the events at the US embassy in Yemen.

After several Arab and Muslim countries including Egypt, Yemeni people condemned the movie, which was reportedly published in the US in the past few days. They marched to the US embassy to protest the offending movie and, when guards tried to prevent them rioting erupted.
 

This is Yemen's premier media outlet, and they don't even know the facts about the film.  Their's are, obviously, wrong, but that doesn't stop the local gentry from tearing apart the landscape and starting a few Car-B-Que's.

Drum roll, please.  Here comes the kicker:

 The Yemeni official agency reported Friday that Hadi had received a telephone call from US President Barack Obama and was assured the attack on the US embassy by angry mobs will not affect the bilateral relations.

 

Thank you President Appeasement.  Take a bow.  Good grief.

 

Skin of Our Teeth Justice

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A Virginia man convicted of plotting to detonate a suicide bomb at the U.S Capitol was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison, the maximum sentence allowed under a plea deal he struck.

Amine El-Khalifi, 29, of Alexandria expressed no remorse for his actions at Friday’s sentencing hearing.

“I just want to say that I love Allah. That’s it,” he told U.S. District Judge James Cacheris.
 

That's a shame.  Had the FBI not caught the guy, he would be on easy street, and perfectly eligible for Obama's Stop-Gap illegal immigrant amnesty program. 

Amine El Khalifi came to the United States on a visitor's visa at age 16. He settled in Arlington, Virginia, as an illegal immigrant when his visa expired in 1999.
 

Hey, Who wants a Refund?

 

On this date in 1987, our intellectual superiors signed the Montreal Protocol to close the Ozone Hole.  It required the discontinuation of certain halogenated hydrocarbons from our daily use.  As a result, you probably had to get your car air conditioner switched out, and freon went the way of the Dodo This cost us great unwashed an arm and a leg in added expenses.  But, at the same time, it allowed the environmental caste an opportunity to feel good about themselves...and that's important, I guess.

 

As you can see above, it was all a load of crap.


How about a big ole heaping helping of irony with that.  You see, now these same intellectual superiors are telling us that closing the Ozone Hole will contribute to their other favorite project, Global Warming.
