Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

TX guv to EU: P#ss off

I’m not a huge fan of TX Governor Rick Perry, especially since he tried mandating a vaccine (even against parental wishes) in a program that would have benefited a former crony’s…er, “associate’s”…current employer. It had “conflict of interest” written all over it. However, I’ve gotten some of that respect back. From the horse’s (spokesdude’s) mouth:

Statement by Robert Black, spokesman for Texas Governor Rick Perry, concerning the European Union’s appeal that Texas enact a moratorium on the death penalty:

“230 years ago, our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and gain the freedom of self-determination. Texans long ago decided that the death penalty is a just and appropriate punishment for the most horrible crimes committed against our citizens. While we respect our friends in Europe, welcome their investment in our state and appreciate their interest in our laws, Texans are doing just fine governing Texas.”

Regardless of whether you agree with Texas’ policies on the death penalty, you gotta like it that the EU was told to go pound sand!

Silky Pony wants you to die of cancer

…so long as he gets his wet dream of socialized medicine.  From Say Anything:

As you might expect, it contains a lot of stuff about spending more tax dollars on research and telling people how to live their lives.  But what’s interesting is while Edwards is showing his willingness to spend other people’s money on solving the cancer problem, it turns out that America has the best survival rate in the world for all types of cancer among males and females:

What’s funny is that, going by those numbers, it seems the best thing John Edwards could do about cancer in America is keep this country away from socialized medicine which is practiced by nearly every other country on the list.  But, of course, in reality John Edwards loves the idea of socialized medicine and largely ignores that those countries that have it offer health care quality that is below that which Americans enjoy.

Considering that I have lost loved ones to cancer, I would love nothing more than for that horrific disease to be eradicated from the planet.  However, you’ll have to forgive me if I doubt that socialized medicine or the Breck Girl will lead the way.

Bubba lied about ordering assassination of bin Laden

Bill Clinton a liar?  Get outta here!  From Red State:

Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball, weigh in on the scathing CIA Inspector’s General Report the CIA didn’t want us to see.

Buried on page three of the web exclusive is a passage which shows that Slick Willie lied during his September 2006 encounter with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. As I’m sure you remember, during an interview, Clinton erupted in anger, became unhinged, pointed his finger at Wallace, and boldly asserted:

What did I do? What did I do? I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.

Isikoff and Hosenball write the IG report criticized intelligence problems when Clinton was president, “detailing political and legal ‘constraints’ agency officials felt in the late 1990s.” Then they mention Clinton’s 2006 temper tantrum and explain Clinton’s prevarication:

Clinton appeared to have been referring to a December 1999 Memorandum of Notification (MON) he signed that authorized the CIA to use lethal force to capture, not kill, bin Laden. But the inspector general’s report made it clear that the agency never viewed the order as a license to “kill” bin Laden—one reason it never mounted more effective operations against him. “The restrictions in the authorities given the CIA with respect to bin Laden, while arguably, although ambiguously, relaxed for a period of time in late 1998 and early 1999, limited the range of permissible operations,” the report stated. (Scheuer agreed with the inspector general’s findings on this issue, but said if anything the report was overly diplomatic. “There was never any ambiguity,” he said. “None of those authorities ever allowed us to kill anyone. At least that’s what the CIA lawyers told us.” A spokesman for the former president had no immediate comment.)[Emphasis added]

So now we can see why Clinton went nuts when asked if he did enough to get Osama bin Laden – he knows he did not do enough.
…
No matter how many times I watch that video, it always make me think of Clinton getting on national television, pointing his finger at the camera and saying “I did not have sexual relations with that woman…”

I know, pointing out more Clinton lies is like throwing ice water on the Titanic: it’s just not necessary to make the point, is it?
