Seeding a Free-Thinking People

In a decade it will be difficult to sell the idea of the US as 'The Great Satan" to these people.

Misundercalculated

I peruse too many blogs to recall where I first heard this many months ago but now I see CBS News has finally caught up with the BDS-free blogoshpere and made a video out of it. Be sure to read it first so the following points will more fully explain the folly of listening to the Democrat leadership.

Of note was this paragraph:

'He also intended and had the wherewithal to restart the weapons program. "Saddam] still had the engineers. The folks that he needed to reconstitute his program are still there," says Piro. "He wanted to pursue all of WMD…to reconstitute his entire WMD program." This included chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, Piro says.'

Now I seem to recall sometime in the past I have heard some prominent people make the case for removing Saddam for the very reasons pointed out in the article. His history of mis-undercalculating events. Where and who was it that said this ?

Was it here ?



Or maybe here ?



Maybe the Democrats were right about Saddam being a threat.

But while they just talked the talk far nobler Americans walked the walk with no plan other than to win the war and then 'as the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down'. Fortunately for us all the Democrat leaders saw the folly of this goal and drew together a plan of their own to clean up the mess Bush had made.



Harry Reid lends his pesonal touch in framing the plan.

But then something that reqired a willful suspension of disbelief had already been put into action and was producing results.

With this in mind I can only conclude that:

Obama On Withdrawal From Iraq

Finally An 'Idea' From The Campaigns

Not a Huckabee fan but this is an idea I share with him.

Apologies to Fred. His campaign up to now is the only one out there talking about policy and not blowing populist smoke.

All That Glitters is Not Gold

Well, it looks like Hollywood has found a new sparkly object to follow...

CAUSE CÉLÈBRE: Ready to give Barack the part: LATIMES

Here's the money quote to show what a vacuous bunch of idiots these people are:

"It is not a question of loyalty; Barack is simply too close to making history for Hollywood not to be part of it," Quintana said. "For most of us, Hillary was our first choice, but she has come up short. Barack has become a movement."

For them it is all about riding on the winning bandwagon in a parade of fools. These are serious times and we face serious external threats and I'm sorry but Obama simply is a nicely wrapped package with no gift inside. But hey... Hollywood, the Mullahs, Chavez and al Sadr would like to see him elected.

Next Year's Gifts for Guys Recomendation.

OK.. I am a utilitarian kind of guy. I'm not much for the graceful things in life but instead admire the usefulness of something. My nephew and niece and the 'clan' got me a gift this year that I have come to admire for its utilitarian perfection. It was a presentation basket with candles and books from

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.



I have had the opportunity to put it to the test and it gets a 5-Star recommendation from the IOpian product testing lab.

The candles smell nice too...

It's Curtains For You

Consider This...

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Drudge has a link to this article. Bill Clinton would advise Hillary, if asked, were she to be elected.

So... consider this:

* Married people can file taxes jointly, as if they were one person.

* They cannot be compelled to testify against one another. An expansion of the right against self-incremination.

* Fiscally speaking they are considered one and the same as far as debt liability and ownership. This is further supported in cases of divorce as mutual property.

Now further consider that Hillary is trying to sell her 'experience' as a ready to go commander-in-chief. During the Clinton administration she acted on the behalf of the President as a special international envoy of the highest order... the President's spouse. The other half.

She most surely advised her husband as his closest council in presedential decisions.

I doubt the Congress that passed the term limitation every saw the possibility of a husband and wife team being able to hold the Presidency for a term longer than FDR's.

So the question is: was she 'acting' as a defacto co-President and will Bill Clinton get a chance to possibly serve, in an influential sense, two more terms?

I guess it depends on what the meaning of marriage is.
