500 Million Pounds of Cheese a Year

Is it just me, or do Democrats invariably resort to disgraceful tactics? If so, should they even be allowed to govern. It does seem like Republicans have no antidote. Darrell Issa tries to make a start. From what I hear, he now faces a whole team of gumshoes trying to dig up dirt to discredit him. Additionally, his committee has now been subpoenaed relating to hearings held back in 2008 regarding Roger Clemens’ steroid use. Henry Waxman - not Issa - presided back then. The Dems must be terribly afraid of what Issa might find. They’ll try everything to block the investigations.

There’s dirt on all of us. It shouldn’t be hard to find dirt on Issa. If he happens to be a saint, they’ll just make something up. And the press will run with it. And even our guys will buy into it. Why? Because they’re dirty too - some of them. The rest are cowards (thank you, Joe). They thought the political gig was going to be a cake walk.

This is not a way to run a railroad. There’s real corruption here. This isn’t a way to run anything, much less a nation.

The Democrat party in this country is completely out of control. They’ll say and do anything. And they’ll do it in broad daylight. And the media spins it for them. And they come up smelling like roses every single time.

The folks are hip to it. And they’re disgusted by it; yet, at the same time they applaud like seals when Republicans stumble. Republicans are like the Jews - the pariah underdog; and I do mean ‘dog‘. Everybody will be applauding today - including the Jews - when the UN resolution against Israel passes without America’s objection. Everybody will know that it’s a farce, but - like with Bush in his heyday - we seem to get a kick out of beating piñatas to death and spilling their guts.

Sure, there will be some who will voice concern. But their concerns won’t be heard on the national media which is stuck in its own template. When a CBS reporter was beaten and raped in Cairo while the crowd shouted, “JEW!”, everybody tried to pretend it never happened, because it didn’t fit the template of the ’happy revolution’. Yesterday, Obama is said to have called her at the hospital where she’s been recovering. It must have pained him to have to do this - his people behaving so shamefully. Why couldn’t it have been Israelis or Tea Party members? Or a gang of right-wing talk show hosts?

Hypocrisy again; double standard again; spinning again. So tired of pointing it out (again)! Union thugs in Madison, and Hamas in Gaza using children as human shields - both lying through their teeth. Lawmakers running for the hills in cheesy Wisconsin; taxpayers bleeding red ink - it’s all grist for the ever-grinding mill just as long ‘Democrats' are turning the screws.

My humble message for Republicans: Fight them tooth and nail or roll over now! But spare us the drama.

Blame America First

Frank Wisner speaks the obvious. But, it goes counter to what POTUS and Hillary are saying. It goes against reported public sentiment on the streets in Cairo. It goes against what most pundits in our media are saying - that Mubarak must go, YESTERDAY!

The ‘blame America first’ crowd has staged a significant comeback. There’s fresh wind in their sails. Throughout major media reporting, the narrative developing is that we are singularly responsible for maintaining Mubarak - a tyrannical dictator - for so many years; that we (America) have been in support of nasty tyrants all over the world who make their populations suffer; blah, blah, blah… It even cropped up on this mornings ‘Religion On The Line’ radio program and remained basically unchallenged.

We seem to feel totally comfortable with the notion of blaming ourselves for all that’s wrong everywhere. How narcissistic we are, believing that the whole world turns only around us! If we can take credit for every evil, it’s still about us - isn‘t it? And that’s the point: I, me, mine - us - America. We may be the ‘Great Satan’, but we’re still ‘great’ and that’s all that counts.

Besides, Barack Hussein Obama has promised to single-handedly turn us away from the dark side and into the light. That’s why we elected him.

Before the 2008 election VP Biden said at a fundraiser: “Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama… Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis - a generated crisis - to test the mettle of this guy (Obama)… And he’s gonna need you… to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially… that we’re right.”

Well, it took longer than six months (unless you want to count the post-election protests in Iran), but let's not quibble. And ever since, in my own humble estimation, we’ve been holding back or doing the wrong thing entirely. Biden warned us of that back when. He essentially said, “Trust us. We know what we’re doing.”

Well, the jury is still out on that. Not sure if the White House is as confused as we are about what’s happening in Egypt. At the end of the day, confusion is only a temporary smoke screen. It might well be that all will be revealed in due time. As one left-wing clairvoyant so aptly put it, "We have to pass our bill so that you can find out what is in it". Nice string of alliterations, but otherwise quite perplexing. Looks like, as in everything else Obama has tried, chaos is the goal.
