Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Night and Day

Bubba now:

During a campaign swing for his wife, former President Bill Clinton said flatly yesterday that he opposed the war in Iraq “from the beginning” — a statement that is more absolute than his comments before the invasion in March 2003.

Bubba then (2004):

On whether Bush was right to invade Iraq
…
That’s why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff unaccounted for. So I thought the President had an absolute responsibility to go to the U.N. and say, “Look, guys, after 9/11, you have got to demand that Saddam Hussein lets us finish the inspection process.” You couldn’t responsibly ignore [the possibility that] a tyrant had these stocks. I never really thought he’d [use them]. What I was far more worried about was that he’d sell this stuff or give it away. Same thing I’ve always been worried about North Korea’s nuclear and missile capacity. I don’t expect North Korea to bomb South Korea, because they know it would be the end of their country. But if you can’t feed yourself, the temptation to sell this stuff is overwhelming. So that’s why I thought Bush did the right thing to go back. When you’re the President, and your country has just been through what we had, you want everything to be accounted for.

I mean, that he’s a liar is clearly not a surprise to anyone.  But you figure the dude would come up with a system of being a little more organized so he can better remember his lies and avoid public humiliation like this.

R.I. hospital performs brain surgery…on the wrong side!

And for the third time this year!  From Breitbart/AP:

Rhode Island Hospital has been fined $50,000 and reprimanded by the state Department of Health after its third instance this year of a doctor performing brain surgery in the wrong side of a patient’s head.

“We are extremely concerned about this continuing pattern,” health department director David R. Gifford said in a statement Monday. (Ya don’t say? – Ed.)

The hospital issued a statement saying it was re-evaluating its training and policies, providing more oversight, giving nursing staff the power to ensure procedures are followed, among other steps.

Hey, isn’t Rhode Island one of the bluest, most liberal states in the union?  Just sayin’.

U.N. arms embargoes worthless

What a shocker.  From AP:

Arms embargoes imposed by the United Nations since 1990 have been effective in only about a fourth of the cases, according to a new study.

The report, compiled by The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and the Uppsala University Special Program on the Implementation of Targeted Sanctions, said U.N. arms embargoes have had limited impact on both the compliance of targeted countries and the arms that flow to them.

The study looked at 27 U.N. arms embargoes imposed between 1990 and 2006, including the cases of Iraq, Iran and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as well as African countries such as Liberia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.

“There appears to be a correlation between the imposition of a U.N. arms embargo and improved target behavior in only a quarter of the annual observations made for the 27 mandatory U.N. arms embargoes studied,” it said.

This was in spite of the arms embargo being “one of the most frequently used forms of sanctions” to maintain international peace and security, it said.

In other breaking news, water is wet.

Memphis trannies raise hell at Mickey D’s

Not one of the more flattering national headlines from my hometown.  From Dan Riehl:

Three cross dressing Black males have been arrested after an assault on the staff of a Memphis McDonald’s. According to reports, after not getting a clerk’s attention by tapping on a drive up window, the men took off their earrings and high heels, picked up a tire iron and went inside to confront the employees.

McBrawlers

Three cross-dressing customers who attacked a McDonald’s staff late Sunday evening have been, um, dragged off to jail after police captured them yesterday afternoon. (If you somehow managed to miss this Memphis moment, get the details here.)

Dacorian Greer, Danny Mitchell, and Lynn Gillespie, all in their late 20s, were charged with assault and damage of property over $500 after their unladylike behavior, which included smashing the drive-thru window and peeling off accessories to better teach the workers a lesson in customer service.

As any good cross-dressers would, the three began to kick off stiletto boots (to better keep their balance while swinging), remove hoop earrings (no danger of having them yanked out), and take off their jackets (less restriction of movement) in order to deliver a McWhoopin’ on the staff.

Next time, get the queens their Big Macs post haste!  “Two snaps up in a circle!”

How to decipher Dem-speak

MSM: GDP up a sizzling 5%, so we must be in or near a recession!

From Ace:

Wow.

On Thursday the eggheads will revise the 3rd quarter GDP snapshot of the country’s economic growth. It was preliminarily called at 3.9% — already a pretty sizzling number — and may be revised up to 4.5% (smokin’ up your kitchen) or even 5% (inferno, grab the cash from the icebox and evacuate the premises).

The Deciders, however, are entirely unimpressed:

In normal times, a U.S. recession would be a distant prospect. The biggest piece of economic data this week is the revision of third-quarter U.S. GDP growth rate, probably to a far-from-recessionary 5%. But these are not normal times.

By “normal times” I’m pretty sure they mean “periods in which a Democratic President is in office.”

Newsbusters comments:

If (emphasis “if”) Thursday’s actual result is 4.9% or higher, it will be the best GDP growth since the third quarter of 2003, and the second-best since the second quarter of 2000.

The second quarter of 2000? Doesn’t that mean the GDP growth would be higher than at the end of Clinton’s term? And the other big quarter — the eyepopping 6+% rate in 2003 — was also not hit during Clinton’s presidency.

The economy was strong under Clinton. That is not arguable, except, I guess, by lunatics. But the lunatics in the MSM are determined to pretend that when Bush’s presidency consists of quarter after quarter of solid-to-strong growth and low unemployment, we’re in a fucking recession, or we are just barely dodging a recession, or we will be in a recession next week.

I don’t think they’ve pined for anything quite as strongly except perhaps the long-anticipated Iraqi Civil War. Their longing for both demonstrates an obsession bordering on the sexual. 

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Jesse: Mortgage crisis result of targeting blacks

Th’ Man is willing to throw the country into a recession/depression, so long as he gets to keep Th’ Brutha Man down.  From Chicago’s fishwrap:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. on Monday demanded City Council hearings and plans a Dec. 10 march on LaSalle Street to shine the light on a mortgage foreclosure epidemic he warned could trigger a “sustained depression” as early as next year.

Jackson accused “unscrupulous lenders” of targeting minorities for high-cost loans in a “form of redlining and racial profiling.” He pointed to a study by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition that shows African Americans of all income levels in the Chicago area were more than twice as likely as whites to receive the subprime and ballooning adjustable interest rate mortgages that can be a prelude to foreclosure. The City Council has no power to bring about the solution that Jackson is seeking: a freeze on both adjustable rate mortgages and home foreclosures, and restructuring in favor of repossession. But, City Council hearings can apply political pressure. 

Does anyone other than me get a kick out of Jesse “Babydaddy” Jackson calling anyone “unscrupulous”?  Pots and kettles are coming to mind.  Oh, wait: pots and kettles are both…black!  I must be racist.

Shrillary camp blasts poll they don’t like

I’ll be the first to admit that I (and many of you) are prone to ignore or poormouth a poll that results of which we are suspicious.  In that regard, Her Highness and her dog washers are not different.  I’ll also admit that Zogby has gone from a once-reliable poll source to a hopelessly biased one (dude actually said Kerry was leading in TN in 2004…he lost the state by 14%).  So piling on Zogs is not that newsworthy.

But Her Highness’ handlers appear to be in a quasi-panic mode, despite the fact that the first primary is over a month away.  In political terms, that’s a lifetime.  Anywho, check this out from Zogby:

All is fair in love and war, the centuries–old proverb states. Politics is not included, but given the way the game is played in modern–day America, maybe it should be. That’s the sense I had again this morning watching Mark Penn, the chief political strategist for Democrat Hillary Clinton, denigrate our latest Zogby Interactive survey simply because it showed his client in a bad light (Link to Latest Poll Number). Penn made the contention on the MSNBC morning news program hosted by Joe Scarborough (Link to Video)

Penn mischaracterized this latest online Zogby poll as our first interactive survey ever – a bizarre contention, since we have been developing and perfecting our Internet polling methodology for nearly a decade (Zogby Intreractive Methodology), and since Penn’s company has been quietly requesting the results of such polls from Zogby for years. We always comply as part of our pledge to give public Zogby polling results to any and every candidate and campaign that asks for them. What is interesting is that no other campaign has made as many requests for Zogby polling data over the years than Penn has made on behalf of Clinton.

Because Mark Penn is a quality pollster himself, we chalk up his contention that our poll is “meaningless” as a knee–jerk reaction by a campaign under pressure coming down the stretch. Several other polls – Zogby surveys and others – have shown her national lead and her leads in early–voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire have shrunk. This is not unusual. These presidential contests usually tighten as the primaries and caucuses approach. 

Shrillary’s mouthpieces are either lying or woefully uninformed, and considering the level of dishonesty inherent to Her Highness and those around her, I’m leaning towards the former.  At any rate, I still suspect she’ll win in Iowa, though I must admit that I’m taking extreme pleasure in watching her squirm like this.

Chavez: Make me dictator for life, or else

He will be dictator for the rest of his life, and you Venezuelans will like it!  From Breitbart/AP:

Rallies for and against constitutional changes proposed by President Hugo Chavez surged Tuesday as the Venezuelan leader declared that a weekend referendum on the proposed charter “cannot fail.”

Such gatherings have increased tensions ahead of Sunday’s referendum on reforms that would allow Chavez indefinite re-election, increase presidential terms from six to seven years and help the Venezuelan leader establish socialism in Venezuela.

While Chavez appeared before supporters to urge Venezuelans to approve the referendum and “open the path to a new nation,” opponents held at least two protests and one of his ex-wives even held a press conference to urge voters to reject the slate of changes.

In Caracas, about 300 placard-waving students gathered outside the Catholic University Andres Bello, occupying a highway for four hours and causing rush-hour traffic jams, to urge Venezuelans to vote “no” on Sunday. The students contend the new constitution would give Chavez authoritarian powers.

“We students will keep coming out onto the street to demand freedom and democracy,” said Roberto Diaz, a 21-year old law student at the university. Dozens of police and national guard monitored the demonstration that ended Tuesday evening without incident.

At the same time, about 5,000 mainly female Chavez supporters gathered in a stadium west of Caracas to back the referendum campaign. Participants in the “Women for Yes” rally, many dressed in Chavista red, waved posters with images of Chavez and Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
…
In a speech Tuesday, Chavez said Venezuelans will vote “yes.”

“On Saturday, the final attack begins, and Sunday … it’s written: the people will vote and will say ‘yes’ to the call we’re giving to open the path to a new nation,” Chavez said, alluding to the referendum that aims to modify 69 of the 530 articles in the constitution.

“We can’t go backward, we cannot fail! (He means that literally. With the voting rigged, he cannot fail. – Ed.) We’re obliged to win, to continue triumphing. This is a battle of world proportions,” Chavez said.

Still, according to recent polls, the “no” could give Chavez his first defeat at the polls since he first won office in 1998.

Of course, Chavez is threatening opponents of his reforms in a Mugabe landgrab kinda way.  But not to worry, folks.  I’m sure Jimmy the Dhimmi Carter will go down there to make sure the “vote” is on the up-and-up!  For those of you on the left, the prior sentence was sarcasm.
