Desperate Liberals

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, November 19, 2009 8:14:29 PM

Reid, aping Pelosi, wants another Saturday massacre of America with another unusual vote on a clearly umpopular Bolshevik bill of crap.  This will not stand, start calling and emailing your derelict senators.  I have two to contend with, but I'm used to it.  Nail the Bolsheviks to the wall and keep the debate from coming to the floor.  Leiberman, their 2000 V.P. nominee, is now an Independent because of the Dems' progressive lunacy and will not hang with the sixty traitors needed to pass the resolution and bring the bull to the floor. It may come down to the Rinos again, so don't leave suspect senators alone.

Twenty Years After the Wall, America Falls

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, November 12, 2009 7:04:46 PM
To Communism, Liberalism and New Age Fascism.  The vote Saturday night on the Health Care Takeover points out the tendency to mob rule so common in democracies driven by propaganda.  It also points out the brilliance of the Founding Fathers' construction of two houses of Congress.  All kinds of silly bills have been passed quickly in the hysteria of the moment by the House of Representative Lunatics, only to be held up and let to die mong the pontifications in the debating society called the Senate.  The Tax and Scam bill has been held up in the Senate now for months, on the back burner.  Even Sen. Reid, hearing the tolling of his own political iron bell back in Nevada, said the Health care bill will not be taken up until next year.

Of course he lies.  Reid, obviously liberally suicidal, still wants to open the debate on Obamacare this year, even though he doesn't have the votes.  Check out Hugh Hewitt's posting today with Townhall for the main senate switchboard and the numbers and addresses of some of the more vulnerable Democrat Senators.  If you need more numbers, addresses and emails, Google U.S. Senate. 
 
It's silly season in Washington and we need to exercise our First Amendment rights by pestering the Senatorial Clowns.  Suggest to senators or their staffs, if they don't listen to you, to start debate on a new amendment to the Constitution to repeal the 17th Amendment to allow the States to appoint their own Senators again.  As Super Representatives who do not represent the people who elected them to office, they should admit their own tendency to mob hysteria, muted by longer terms, and admit they can be replaced by the States in the States House.
 
The Constitution is designed to slow such tendency of unbound human nature, but it's up to we the Citizens of America to hold the elected clowns in both houses to keep down the idiocy.  Unfortunately, we are partly in this situation because of the partisanship of the American Pravda, formerly known as the Old Press, and their ongoing distortion of the news to cover up the lessons of history.  The difference is, we, who know more than the usual liberal loon on the street, can ignore most of the dribble from American Pravda; we can't ignore the Congress.

Reaganism Lives While Communism Falters

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 3:00:41 PM
So many of the arguments against Obama & Co. were said 45 years ago by Reagan in his speech for Goldwater's candidacy in 1964 that launched his political career.  They were beliefs he never varied from the rest of his life.  Rush has been broadcasting excerpts from that speech today and Hannity has been broadcasting other statements Reagan made in his subsequent speeches that are the best arguments against the present grab for power of the Left.  Some things never change, like the truth and the basis and soul of America.  Communism, or whatever leftist isms you want to consider also never change, they just keep changing their masks to cover up their true and unchanging nature.
 
The Left keeps saying Reaganism is dead, as they try to hide behind their mask of the day.  The truth never changes, nor do the laws of economics.  What has failed is Communism, Fascism, Socialism and Liberlaism.  To combat the constant change of appearance and tags, we must realize tyranny is also unchanging.  How do we fight all these isms?  Use Reagon's statements of truth as clips in political TV ads this next year, leading up to the 2010 Elections and use their salient points to contradict the predictable dribble of the Left.
 
In black and white or in color, they will have the same effect.  As the Left never rests in perptuating their lies, we need to be resolute in promoting our core beliefs.  We have the upper hand on radio as Talk Radio actually constitutes a series of ongoing townhall meetings across the country for citizens exercising their right of freedom of speech.  But many people in the muddle headed middle don't listen to radio, except to listen to music or sports.  Many are better reached through visual stimulation on TV.  Many have never heard these speches and some don't even know who Reagan is.  But most know about FDR and the New Deal with the endless broadcast of old black and white images from the Great Depression, the extension of which was the result of FDR's Liberlaism.  It's time for some enlightenment from Reagan and the Age of Enlightenment.
 
P.S. To get an idea what we are facing with the current administration, Read "Stalin The court of the Red Czar" by Simon Sebag Montefiore and see how Stalin was his own propagandist and the first editor of Pravda.  As Stalin became more paranoid and delusional as his Communist policies failed, he blamed enemies and traitors for his own shortcomings as he became more and more isolated from reality.  Obama is doing the same against Talk Radio, Fox News and us.

Obamacare = Landshark = "Candy Gram!"

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, September 24, 2009 2:46:19 PM
Back on SNL (when it was funny), Landshark used the lure "Candy gram!" to get in the door, then devoured those he duped with his ploy.  Well, he's back!  This time, he's in the form of Obamacare, with or without its Government Option.  It's an equally voracious carnivore equally out of water, but not without the same bone chilling blood frenzy to devour everyone in sight.
 
Run for your life, better yet, defend your life and don't believe anything the Obama administration says.  It's not a candy gram, it's a ruthless urban predator with all the boundless violence and restraint of an IRS agent in full audit mode!  Oh, the inhumanity, the carnage, the ignominious end; let alone the condition of your underwear if you survive the attack and the doctors are allowed to treat you in an E.R..  Your mother warned you there would be days like this, but you never listened.
 
Oh, the shame of it all.  But the doctors and the medical insurance companies, the front lines of health-care, are not enough to protect you.  Where there's the Obama Federal government, there is no real competition; no more than a sustanible level of oxygen in an enclosed room engulfed in a blazing fire.
 
What will the Death panels then rule for the survivors?  Off to the soap factory, after they harvest your remaining organs, because you belong to them now.
 
Furthermore....
 
Knock! Knock!
 
"Who is it?"
 
"Candy gram!" 
 
"Mmmm, I refuse delivery!  Forward it to Mongo, at Rock Ridge, care of "Blazing Saddles".  Mongo loves candy, but he never received a candy gram like this one.  If he's not there, send it back to Hedy Lamarr or William J. LePetomane, the petty man empty-suit-in-chief (a.k.a. Obama)".
 
"That's Hedley, Hedley Lamarr!"
 
"Whatever.  Now kiss off!"
 
Must be a dry run.
 
Now where were was I?  Oh, yes....
 
Knock! Knock!
 
Are they hunting in a pack?
 
"Who is it?"
 
"Collecting for Regulation Czar Cass Sunstein's Sustainable Live Organ Donor Drive.  What's yours is ours!"
 
"Kiss off, Momma Cass!  Or is that you Rahm?  Well, I don't recognize the authority of any damn Czar.  You and the Obama administration have no authority under the Ninth or Tenth Amendments.  They're my organs, my person and my life.  Also, do you have a warrant under the Fourth Amendment?"
 
"Ah, no."
 
"Then you can screw yourselves and your posse too!  I'm secure in my person, house, papers and effects and shall not be violated.  If you don't understand that, let me read you the Second Amendment."
 
"Oh, okay."
 
"Don't mope and groin, just move on."
 
Now in conclusion....
 
Knock! Knock!
 
"What now?"
 
"Oh, never mind."
 
"We mind, all right and you will mind after the 2010 elections.  It's called the coming revolution.  You have been warned, comrades."
 
In the interim, it's time to stock up on shark repellant.
 
P.S.: I'm off to monitor the demonstrators in downtown Pittsburgh (that's "dahntahn Picksburgh" in Pittsburghese) during the G-20.  If I don't return, you know the Landsharks got me.

The News Media Ignores 9/12 Part II

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 1:15:07 PM
The News Media continues to ignore 9/12, its scope and nature.  The event was only announced under the fold on the front page of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, with the article appearing on page A-9.  The article itself was a reprint of one from the Scarlet Harlot, the New York Times and was written by Jeff Zeleny.  Its title was "Obama, Congress targeted", with the subtitle "Tens of thousands attend broad protest of government in nation's capital".
 
If it was a broad protest of government, how could there only be "tens of thousands" of protesters?  And how could Zeleny than state in the article and I quote "but the magnitude of the rally took the authorities by surprise, with throngs of people streaming from the White House to Capital Hill for more than three hours".  How can that be the result of merely "tens of thousands" of protesters being at the rally?  The distance from the White House to Congress is a mile, and the protesters were streaming from one end to the other for three hours and filled Pennsylvania Ave..  But the Times ran with an earlier estimate of the protest made well before the rally occurred by the authorities.  These are the same authorities who are used to policing rallies by the Left and the Obama Coronation.  Yet they were surprised by the magnitude and compostition of the attendees at the march.  The Scarlet Harlot simply ignored the facts and did not update the estimate to fit with the reality of the turnout; and since the rest of the Gobblist Press merely parrots what the New York Times says, the misinformation was broadcast again while the Press ignored the facts; as it usually does, and did not do their job.  The Post-Gazette merely reprinted the article.
 
On the same day, Sunday September 13, 2009, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the other hyphenated but conservative local paper ran an article above the fold titled "Protesters take D.C. by storm" but with the subtitle of "Tens of thousands march in opposition to Obama's agenda".  The aritcle was a reprint of an article written by Mark Z. Barabar of the Los Angeles Times.  The times are changing and the  New York and L.A. Times are both suffering from, dare we say, declining circulation.  Perhaps the lack of blood is effecting their perception of the world and the truth.
 
As an example, Barabar also makes the contradictory observation "....the demonstrators filled Pennsylvania Avenue and swarmed the Capitol grounds with a sea of bobbing palcards and hand-lettered signs that spelled out a catalog of dissent".  Yes, that's right, dissent, peaceful, widespread and active dissent by well over, dare we even mention, a million, perhaps two million people?  If the attendees at the rally swarmed the Capitol grounds while filling Pennsylvania Ave., then could there could have been as many as two million American citizens at the rally?  It's very probable, even with the misinformation of the fourth estate.  
 
By ignoring the magnitude and scope of the rally, minimizing its size and its significance of exemplifying the free exercise of public speech and then emphasizing the misleading number of protesters, the News Media are in fact ignoring 9/12.

Ted Kennedy-Patron Saint of Private Medical

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Monday, August 31, 2009 7:04:58 PM
Sen. Ted's death was delayed by private health care, without any government option.  What a selfless, exemplary action by Old Ted.  I'm being facetious, of course.  The irony of Kennedy using these means of extending his life has turned Old Teddy into a saint suffering for a truth.  We need to embrace (in a purely figurative way) this tubby, scurrilous degenerate and raise him to the level of sainthood as St. Ted, patron saint of private medical and the right to privacy between a patient and his or her own doctor (and by extension, his or her insurance company) under Roe.
 
Or could the last son of Camelot be a typical lying liberal, expecting to be the exception to the oppressive rules he demands the rest of us have to live and die by?  Judging by the actions of the Kennedy clan, it's in his flabby genes (and jeans) to lie.  He also needs a better lagacy than being nothing more than a spoiled child gone to seed.
 
If he was not a Senator or a Kennedy and had been hauled in front of a NICE review board, like the ones they have in Great Britain for their government option, the old war horse would have been told he had lived enough and it was time for the glue factory.  True, in his younger days he was fit enough to swim a channel and avoid responsibility for the death of someone else.  All that would be relative, but only to a point, according to Rahm's brother, Dr. Zeke.  But Ted would simply not be worth rationing government funds on to be kept alive.
 
So he was right to take advantage of the smorgasbord of private insurance available exclusively for the privileged members of the U.S. Senate and House.  Perhaps he saw the light, after a lifetime of trying to socialize medicine, and pursued his own options.  What a guy.  Was he inspiring, or aspring, to make himself an example of choice for the individual against liberally applied oppression?  If only he had the same compassion for the lowly serfs and plebes he supposedly represents in Congress.  Or was he simply a selfish a**?  That would be up to him, his private health plan and his doctors; a situation he would have denied the rest of us in his best of all possible worlds. 
 
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, it is just that we raise him to sainthood because he had the best of intentions, though the worst of all actions throughout his career.  Well, when you're a progressively self-serving and insolated Stalinist statist, your holiness is only more acutely heightened by what you say than what you do.  Satisfying that low threshold of intensions absolving him of actual responsibility and action; Old Teddy is now ready to be canonized by extending his own exulted life, but not ours.  This results from his efforts to protect his right of privacy for his own convenience as set forth by Roe.  It it's good enough for Chappaquiddick Ted, it's good enough for us.
 
I'm still facetious and only want him to be canonized by having his childish bombast stuffed in a cannon and shot to Hell to keep him company.

Lest We Forget Cap & Trade

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 3:28:53 PM
We are gaining against ObamaCare, but don't forget Cap & Trade.  I was concerned our efforts might be fading around the Fourth of July Tea Parties because of the lack of coverage in the Media by their manipulation and ongoing propaganda efforts trying to minimize the People's efforts.  The American People are becoming the fly in their new, all pupose ointment.  I'm glad I was wrong in my momentary lack of faith.  What we have since the beginning of the Tea Party Movement is a true growing grass roots ground swell against tyranny.  But it's no time to be giddy, we have to increase our efforts because the enemy is relentless and out of touch with the new reality. 
 
Contrary to reports in the Media, Specter's townhall meetings were very restrained and respectful, it's just the attendees asked tough questions and Specter simply stood there and couldn't fully comprehend what was going on.  I watched rebroadcasts of two of the meetings which pointed out his clue less reading of the People's will.  I also realized his mind was going as he continued to insist on Global Warming.
 
Why should this be of concern?  We are only one casitng of votes in the Senate away from the Federal government taxing us for the weather and reducing us to lifetime paupery in the effort.  The only ones who stand between us and that new imposed economic disaster are our senators.  In Pennsylvania, that amounts to two of the Seven Dwarfs; namely (and lamely) Sens. Grumpy (Specter) and Goofy (Casey).  This does not bode well for our future.  As we spursue them on ObamaCare, we need to be just as persistent on Cap & Trade and the future taxing of our earnings for a fraud, coupled with a process where the Democrats in Congress don't even read their respective bills. 
 
Only relentless pressure will push them to stop these inpending laws.  Our efforts have to be a two prong attack.  At least I don't have to worry about my representative.  By the way, the composition of the two townhall meetings with Benedict Arlen was the same as the one I attended with Rep. Murphy (R. PA).  Most of the attendees were not radicals, not rent a mobs like ACORN and union thugs; it was attended primarily by the elderly.   When the liberal Democrats lose the Elderly, they will lose everything.

Murphy's Townhall Meeting, 7-25-09

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Monday, August 03, 2009 4:04:16 PM
Rep. Tim Murphy (R) had a townhall meeting, and over six hundred people showed up.  They were anticipating three to four hundred and kept attendees and their guests aware of a change in its location because of the growing interests of the people to participate in the running of our republic.  The attendees were overwhelmingly conservative, many elderly and concerned about the fiasco of socialized medicine.  The people were respectful, but insistent about their objections to this new tyranny. Rep. Murphy was informative about the implications of this new scam and, as a conservative member of Congress, was against the legislation.  There were only a few liberal idiots outside asking us to sign a statement to support Obama on the bill.  We told them no.
 
Inside the meeting, most of the questions were against the bill and other liberal agendas.  Some of those who spoke were for socialized medicine or placed the blame on the current system.  Only two of them stood out.  One looked and sounded like the son of Pony Tail Boy, the pea brain who stood up in the Richmond bebate during the '92 election and asked Clinton to be a like a father to the nation and see the American people as his children.  What a woos.  Pony Tail Boy Jr. delivered his talking points by making snide remarks about the evil drug and medical insurance companies while suggesting more competition be introduced into the system by allowing the Federal government to provide a public alternative.  Yes, there are people with addled enough minds out there who can't think for themselves.  Then there was a research doctor, with almost no clinical practice, who said America's health system was ranked thirty something in the world.  (The World Health Fund just voted America's health system number one in the world).  We didn't believe either of them. 
 
Few of us wanted any major change in in the systemt; with the exception of tort reform to reduce the need for high malpractise premiums doctors had to pay and forcing members of Congress to live with the same health care program they are fostering on us.  As it is, the members of Congress have a wide variety of private, not public insurance programs available to them, which will not be available to the rest of us once the private insurance companies are squeezed out of the system.  It makes you wonder how long Sen. Kennedy would have survived on such a public program with the Federal government in charge.  The old war horse would have been told to go to the glue factory during his first five year review. 
 
As far as the research doctor, he further said America ranks far below other countries in life expectancy because of our health system.  With the third largest a nation in the world, with of over 330 million people having a life expectancy of nearly 80 years for women and over 77 for men; America is doing a great job by any standards.   And those figures probably include the fifty thousand people a year who die in auto accidents in a country which accounts for half the cars in the world. 
 
With so many people jeering the doctor, I wasn't able to ask him what country has the longest life expectancy.  A few years ago, it was Andorra, with a life expectancy of 84 years for I believe both sexes.  I would have further asked him how the Andorrans achieved that feat.  Was it the clean mountain air?  The generous government run health program?  Hell no, Andorra's main industry and way of life is smuggling goods back and forth between its neighbors, France and Spain, through the mountains so the French and Spaniards could avoid paying high taxes used in both countries to support government health care scams.  In other words, free enterprise and individual choice are the best prognosis for long life expectancy. John Handcock and other Founding fathers did the same thing against the royal government of Great Britain, not by submitting to the power of the ruling class.  Well, Handcock always had a full bowl of spiked punch aboard his ship for additional intestinal fortitude.  Ah, the good ole days.  Today, his punch drunkeness would be considered a pre-existing condition.
 
Perhaps bucking the demands, rules and taxes of unresponsive governments are the best self-medication for prolonging one's life and liberty, instead of following the ill-conceived ideas of the yahoos in government.  
 
It's still our duty to keep hounding after our representatives and senators to do their duty.  I know I can trust Murphy, not Senators Specter or Casey, but I'll keep track of all three of them.

Specter-What a Schmuck, Part II!

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, May 07, 2009 1:40:26 PM
Now that you're a Dem, don't be suprised to be beat like a rented mule.  No one trusts a traitor and the liberals don't need liberal light, they'll put their own jack*ss in your seat.  Now you seem shocked.  Really?  To lose your seniority on all the committees you take up space on should have come as no surprise.
 
Yeah, yeah, but they told you otherwise and you believed them.  What a schmuck!  You might have been a Rino, but you were still a Republican, and with the liberal Democrats, politics trumps everything.  You are now expendible and you're too senile and stupid to realize you and McCain were just two useful idiots; to be used and desposed of after your useful idiocy no longer matters.  Didn't you learn anything about Stalinist politics?  After all, you lived through the era of that sociopath the Left are modeling themselves after in so many ways.  You should have seen it coming. 
 
Now you have lost your best asset, since your seniority, unlike your senility, won't even be considered until after the 2010 elections, if ever.  Congrats, you just signed your own political death notice.  Remember what I told you about the door on your way out.

Specter-What a Schmuck, a Schlep You Are!

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, April 30, 2009 2:56:18 PM
Don't let the door smack you in your other face on your way out!  After President George W. Bush saved you in the last primary, after all the times the Republican leadership stood up for you, you stab them in the back, Arlen.  What a putz!  You are a walking, talking ad for term limits.
 
The longer a politician spends in Washington, the more devious and corrupt they become.  It's a preogressive illness, like being progressive and liberal, and you have a terminal case.  Symptoms include attacking your own constinuency, blaming them for all your problems, while you do everything you can to hurt them.  You have no place in a representative republic.  You've been a Democrat for such a long time, your final announcement was certainly not surprising to me. 
 
You could have at least been a little more honest about your nature and saved us a loss in the 2004 primary.  Toomey would have been, and will be, a far greater Senator than you.  Don't forget, most of the excess in registered Democrats over Republicans in Pennsylvania are still Republicans who switched during the 2008 primary as part of Rush's Operation Chaos.  Neither your primary or election victory is thus quaranteed.  Funny you didn't think about that before you changed parties. 
 
Then again, you're like the man in the old hand painted poster from the 60's, with his head up a certain part of his anatomy and accompanied by the caption "Your Problem is Obvious!".  So probably the door won't help slap any sense into you.  It will only confuse you.
 
P.S.  Check out "The Texas Declaration of Independence" posting by TexasTom at 12:00AM today, April 30, 2008 and see if it doesn't sound like the situation we are facing with the present administration and Congress in Washington.  The present American Federal government sounds a lot like the Mexican government the Texans rose up against.  The difference?  Mexico is still crippled with the same corrupt government, we can still change ours.

Black Caucus Grovels to Big White Master

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Wednesday, April 08, 2009 2:19:40 PM
The Black Caucus met with Castro and humiliated themselves, following Obama and his bowing and scraping to the king of Saudi Arabia.  This is equality?  Since when do you proclaim your independence by subjecting yourselves to virtual slave holders?  Did the Black Caucus meet with Alian Gonzalez, the Dred Scott of our time?  Not likely, reality has nothing to do with bombast and liberal two dimensional thinking.  If the Black Caucus was for freedom, then why are they members of the former slave holder Democrat Party?  
 
One of the female members of the caucus, after traveling through unspeakable poverty in Cuba, said some of the Cubans were better off then some of the people in her own district.  Was she jealous of Fidel's more effectual rule over his subjects in relation to her own?  Perhaps she should resign and admit the failure of liberalism in this country.  Both her district and Cuba are suffering from long term, single party rule.
 
My own home city of Pittsburgh has lost roughly half its population in the last fifty-six years as a result of over seventy years of Democrat big city politics.  Most of the people with money and initiative simply moved to the suburbs; which have prospered in comparison to Pittsburgh.  Not to be outwitted, which is very simple to do, the Pittsburgh and county Democrat politicians want to consolidate the more than hundred and thrity communities in the surrounding Allegheny County into Pittsburgh in order to spread the cancer.  This explains why communities just over the Allegheny County line, like Cranberry Township and Cannonsburg, are now prospering.  These communities remain outside the proposed new liberal commune. 
 
Both the Castro brothers and the Black Caucas continue in power by blaming everything wrong in their subjects' lives on the inequities of America, without ever solving the real problems.  Day-to-day problems should be handled by individual initiatives.  But freedom is such a dirty and scary word to socialists of any stripe.
 
Even in such an absurd and surreal a setting; Fidel Castro invoked the memory of a Republican, Dr. Martin Luther King.  The irony was lost, naturally, on the self-deceived.

Sen. Ditzy Stabenow Takes Stab at the Constitution

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Friday, February 06, 2009 1:15:14 PM
Dear Ditzy:  May I remind you of the First Amendment,which states "Congress shall make no law....ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM
OF SPEECH....  Yes, Ditzy, that means you.  What you are proposing is uncostitutional, null and void.  Not only do you want a new Fascist Doctirne, you want Senate hearings.  Besides the Constitution, you have no authority for either intiative, because of an obvious conflict of interest.  Your husband, Thomas Athans, is a former co-founder of the now defunct Air America.  His failure is not ours, nor Talk Radio's.  Liberal Radio does not play well in the real world.  The accountability in this case is the bottom line. Liberal Radio doesn't add up or balance in the marketplace of ideas.  Talk Radio is the voice of dissent and protected by the Constitution.  Shouldn't you concern yourself with passing the Pork-a-Matic (or as Rush calls it, the Porkulous) bill and destroy the American Economy?  Being from Michigan, you're better qualified for that effort.  Just a thought.

Steelers Nation vs. Obama Nation

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, January 29, 2009 6:58:03 PM
I was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan even as a child and was the only kid in my elementary school who had a Steelers lunch box.  I got the snot beat out of me, several times; by groups of other kids who followed "Public Opinion" and thought the Steelers were lousy.  The Steelers were lousy during their first forty years.  But the Steelers were my hometown team and had potential.  So I  defended the team and myself well enough and forcefully enough so the promoters of public opinion gave up on us.  I never surrendered to the tyranny of public opinion.  Then, after the Steelers became the Super Steelers, these same schmucks became their biggest fans, until the team started faltering after the last of their four Super Bowl wins.  Most fans, however, never gave up on them in the lean years, as the team slugged it out in the league.  Our loyalty became legend.  I have the same loyalty for the hapless Pittsburgh Pirates and the Stanley Cup winning Penguins.
 
Now it seems most people, at least in Washington, are following public opinion, as crafted by the News Media, and are rallying around Barack Insane Obama.  To be truthful, Obama looks like he was beaten up a lot as a kid because of the goofy look on his face and his big ears.  He should have learned to stand his ground against the mass hysteria of public opinion he now wheels against any opposition.  His thin skinned response to the slightest criticism confirms he is not someone to be counted on to stand by his convictions, if he had any he would admit to, without consideration of their value in his own political calculus.
 
This week he was desperate to drag any of the Republicans in the House into supporting his 800 billion dollar plus Pork-a-Matic Economic Strangulation Bill.  None of the Republicans crossed party lines to vote for the scam and were joined by eleven Democrats in true bi-partisanship, for a total of 188 in dissent.  Now Obama and the lockstep Dems in the House will have to face decreasing support for the economically destructive features of the legislation as the people see what a bill of socialist goods it is.  He won't be able to drag the House Republicans down with him on this one to cover for himself and his allies.  We can only hope the Senate Rinos won't cross over, again, and provide the liberal Dems with some coverage in the future in the name of Democrat bi-partisanship.  Obama will need them if he doesn't want to get his Dumbo ears boxed.
 
In the Obama Nation, I detect more of a short term, changeable group "me too" mentality wanting to embrace the newest fad of change, while delving and devolving into a cult of personality.  They have no staying power, or they will become wagon jumpers to the next fad.  That is why I am a  Steelers fan and not a follower of the newest political expediency trumped up as public opinion.  Public opinion be damned, you stay with what lasts, what works and wins against the ebb and flow of life.  The success of the Steelers Nation stands in contrast to the economic Diaspora that spread Pittsburghers around the country during the same time period as a result of the actions of local, county, state and Federal level Democrat politicians wrapped up in the dementia of liberal socialist policies, which never work.  More on the mania of taxing ourselves into prosperity later.

Boobs on the Left

Posted by Marked in Pgh on Thursday, January 15, 2009 3:00:01 PM
I saw a picture of Sarah Palin's face superimposed on the topless body of a model a couple days ago.  It was set up in someone's place of business; where the owner, or its employees, obviously thought it will not be taxed to death by the new administration.  And some dare say the Left are insensitive and politically incorrect.  I found it insulting, to Sarah Palin.
 
At the same time, as a straight guy, I have to admit I found the anonymous model's body inspiring.  She had a lovely set of eyes.  I'm talking, in the vernacular, about boobs.  But I know, if I want to envision a perfect set of boobs; I couldn't do better than to envision the winning set of Obama and Biden.  Then, there's Reid & Pelosi, Dodd & Schumer, Rev. Wright & Blago, the Ayres and the matched set of Bill & Hillary.  They are inspirational and irrational, but only to the Left. 
 
Last, but not least, we shouldn't forget Barney Frank.  Though boobs are not his preference; his behavior, persona and attitude makes him more a boob and a half than the others.  He could qualify for a pair of boobs himself, with little augmentation, while he pretends he knows what he's talking about, as he excoriates everyone else.  If he does need help to make a set, there's always Waxman and Rangel to help fill in with one or the other's contributions.  The other two could qualify as a pair in partnership.
 
So, the Left should leave Gov. Palin alone.  She's her own woman, just like Coutler, Malkin and the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher.  They are all immune to juvenile tactics.  The Left has enough boobs to play with in Washington, including institutionalized sets as diverse as the Washington Post and New York Times or CNN and the Asinine Press.  Then, there's the Kennedy clan; a true royal flush, or flash, of boobs.
