Ron’s first post on the new site.
How convenient to be able to summon up a temporary case of early-onset Alzheimer’s when asked a question by a D.C. Press Corps reporter or a member of a Congressional investigating committee.
Now, Charles Krauthammer is unafraid to share an opinion about current events, and he will readily toss names into the center ring of what Hillary calls the Cirque de So-What! when evidence points to ‘em.
I’ve heard Krauthammer say at least 3 times in the past coupla weeks that the fish stinks from the head down. Last night he used the word “fatal” in reference to the perfect storm of scandals hitting the Obama faux façade.
Huckabee, too, has been fairly direct in saying that a governor or a president should know what’s going on in his subordinates’ offices and if he doesn’t then he’s leading from behind, not in front.
That’s Obungler’s specialty. That was his Libya policy. By the way, he never did get authorization under the War Powers Act. But then the War Powers Act was designed to hobble Republican presidents and not Dimocrat ones. Oh, and the eee-vil Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler got congressional approval for both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course there’s Hannity, and Beck, and Limbaugh, and Palin, and Coulter, and Malkin, and all the rest who keep throwing back the rug after Biden and Carney and most of the 4th Estate sweeps the dirt under it.
Two old adages come to mind about hiding the truth: If you’re gonna tell a lie, tell a whopper and don’t back off from it, and if you tell a lie often enough, eventually the people will believe it. I think the first one came from Hitler and the other from Stalin.
That has been a specialty of BJ and Thunder Rodent Thighs throughout their entire careers in politics. Rose Law Firm billing records? Never saw ’em. Don’t know how they wound up in the White House with my fingerprints on ’em.
Amidst the thuggery, the muggery, and the skullduggery of Zero Bomber’s administration is a pervasive habit of shruggery. We get beat over the head with laws we don’t want, then our revenues are stolen and given to failing companies, and finally the laws protecting citizens’ rights are completely ignored so that those on the “non-existent” enemies list can have their petitions lost, their requests misplaced, and their phone records revealed.
Can you imagine the outrage from the LSM if this stuff had occurred during the Bush administration?
Then when they’re caught at it and called to account by bipartisan committees, they merely shrug their shoulders and say, “I forgot,” or “Nobody told me,” or “I’ve done nothing wrong.”
Like during the Clinton administration we had the two smartest people in the world (BJ was reputed to have a photographic memory) who couldn’t remember a damned thing.
In addition to his early immersion in Indonesian culture, it appears Pak Soetoro also spent some time learning some Amnesian habits, which he then taught to members of his cabinet and staff. He and Holder and Clinton could resurrect that old Intelligence team the Stooges were so fond of: Duck, Dodge, and Hide.
The pandemic of memory loss in and around D.C. has progressed way past CRS and into full-blown CRAFT. How many times have we heard someone lately, in reflexive answer to a direct question from a member of the White House Press Corps or a Congressional committee, say, “I don’t know,” or “I don’t remember.”
Of course many variations of the basic “Beats the hell outta me!” response come up, too. Uh-Bamugabe’s “Uh, nobody told me. I had to read it in the newspaper just like the rest of you,” not only smells like that stuff you scrape off your shoe before coming into the house after cleaning out the stables, but it’s insulting.
But according to Pfeiffer, a key White House advisor/strategist, all the interest in Benghazi, IRS “mistakes,” and the tunneling under the 1st Amendment to get a subpoena to investigate reporters who had the temerity to question The One’s integrity is even more insulting
Speaking of which, Larry Conners, the St. Louis news reader who had the temerity to ask Oboner some tough questions in an interview, was audited by the IRS shortly after, and posted about it on Facebook, was just fired by KMOV in the interests of “impartiality”. From the LSM? It would be funny if it weren’t so frightening. This is the kind of stuff that’s done in banana republics
.. . . nothing more than a Republican strategy to blow something out of proportion for political gain at the expense of El Precedente.
Hell, that’s like saying Kennedy ordered Hollywood to gin up a special effects scenario showing US astronauts on the moon for the sole purpose of embarrassing the GOP.
So what we have is a PotUS who dismisses Benghazi and other scandals with a definitive “There’s no there there” and on to the next question.
We have an Attorney General whose answer to ticklish questions about the IRS abuse of power is “I was recused, so I can’t speak to that.”
We have a Secretary of State whose answer to questions about who’s responsible for the fiasco in Benghazi is “Who gives a shit!”
We have a presidential Press Secretary whose attitude toward any negative question about his boss is “Look, he’s a really nice guy and I love him.”
And this morning we have the woman who was in charge when the IRS overstepped its authority for two years by either denying, delaying, or dismissing tax-exempt status requests by anyone suspected of being on the “I Won” enemies list hiding behind the 5th Amendment and daring Issa’s committee to assume that means she’s guilty of something.
And SHE’s in charge of the IRS section involved in oversight for the ACA?????
Pretty clear to me what’s happened here. The CRAFT epidemic is merely a symptom of a greater disorder that is seeping, crawling, inveigling through the upper echelons of central government – a deadly combination of Anorexia and Bulimia.
Gotta be. Nothin else quite fits. The EPA, the DoE, the TSA, the DoJ, the State Department, hell . . the entire cabinet has deliberately refused to ingest sufficient law, sufficient tradition, sufficient custom to act in the vital and best interests of the people of the United States.
Instead of a steady, nutritious, healthful diet of the rules and regulations and leadership principles which made the place great to begin with, this administration has become addicted to the empty calories of ambrosia, the intoxicating aftertaste of victory, the sweet, heady nectar of supreme power. “Oh, what about Ovarmint?” you say . . . “He was a Constitutional scholar, even taught courses in it at universities, right?”
Ah, yes . . . and that’s where the Bulimia comes in. He took a few bites of it, but regurgitated it all out before it could be digested and become part of his system. That’s what the Recusosian did as well . . . and Pelosi, and Reid, and Schumer, and Cuomo, and dozens of others.
Biden didn’t need to vomit up anything he ingested from law school since he prefers to simply blow everything out his ass anyway. And Carney is just a wind-up doll that gets a new sound disk every morning to recite the mantra when a reporter pulls his string.
It’s Bucramanal, folks, an entirely new syndrome which is resistant to all known forms of medication and treatment. It originated in Marxism, combined with Nazism, matured in Caponeism, and emerged as BuCrAmAnAl, which features all the worst elements of Bulimia, CRAFT, Amnesia, Anorexia, and Alzheimer’s.
Bucramanal . . . available over the counter at government offices everywhere.
Constitutional scholar, my @$$! Teh Won has always been a post-modern constitutional deconstructor.
The Liar-in-Chief has made a big mistake. He could have easily weathered the IRS and Benghazi scandals. But Eric the Red Holder REALLY pissed of the 4th Estate with the AP and Fox News shenanigans. The press may finally get up off its knees and do its job.
Nah, wishful thinking.
Well, now it can truly be said, “People died, Obama lied. And lied. And lied.
If you buy into this mans bullshit, you should loose the right to vote, before all of us loose it.
What is this “bu cram anal?” It sounds like something right up my alley. Where do I sign up?
Bawney Fwank
Yeah, I figgered somebody’d get the sequencing in the acronym.
Bu = bureaucrat
Cram = Ovarmint’s favorite tactic
AnAl = self-explanatory
IOW, “Let me shove THIS up your ass, America.”
But as a former teacher of literature, I know that most people don’t like to be told, but to be shown or just figger it out for themselves.
I tried to work the word particle “bum” into it, but it was too much of a stretch.
And now you can add the Boy Scouts of America to the list of those who have to bend over forwards and take it like a man.
You know this means new uniforms, new merit badges, and a rewriting of the oath and scout manuals. This is gonna give the “buddy system” a whole new meaning. I shudder to think.
Well put dude
Great post and unfortunately very accurate. There are cultures that promote lying to others when the liars KNOW the others KNOW they are lying, but the bully factor is so strong the liars continue with their falsehoods until the honest person backs off. I’ve seen entire societies built around this particular odious practice.
Obama and his Chicago gangsters have opened Pandora’s Box in the current government by either planting (appointing) certain devious characters or intimidating the established ones with the threat of ejection from their cushy 6-figure salaried jobs and huge, luxurious benefits. Like an opt out of ObamaCare.
The average citizen, who isn’t directly affected by these criminal activities is going to get on with their “drone-like” lives and allow the cancer to mestestastize until America arrives at a 1984 or Soylent Green style society. I fear an example of the preponderance of “drones” in America was proven with Obummer’s second coming.
Be afraid, very afraid!
Howdy Ron…
First class post & spot on as usual. Do people still wonder why over 30 % of American`s think a revolution is not only possible but probable?
The media, the leftwing & half educated college students have savaged Bush,Nixon even Reagan……. but the stench of corruption, lying & criminal activities from this administration has dwarfed anything any previous administration or combination of administrations has done in the past.
In the past there have been many things not in sync with certain custom or law………but were done in belief for or what was considered best for the Country.No one could ever consider any recent past Presidents as a traitor to the United States.
This administration has assaulted the rights of citizens & broken established laws to harass or push forward false allegations against their opponents.
We have witnessed a determined intent to diminish US power & Prestige around the world.
We have seen our allies scorned & insulted with our enemies glorified & exalted.
We are witness to an ongoing attempt to transformation of America to a Socialist state as a primary objective of this administration.
This administration abandoned any decency or belief in the duty to defend or protect our Government State Department people while on station in foreign countries….Yes Hillary, it is a big deal!
We are witness to another Democratic administration downsizing of our first line of defense the strength & power of our armed forces.
We watched as this administration made a mockery of our system for unemployment benefits using it to expand Government entitlement programs & serving to extend our recession.
We were witness to the establishment of a system of Czars wielding virtual absolute power answering only to Obama.
We seen this administration illegally take over private enterprise in a bailout, taking away stock & ownership giving a good portion to loyal administration supporter labor Unions.
We watched as our housing & banking institutions were compromised through inept management & oversight costing billions & billions with no one held accountable.
We seen this administration conduct an illegal gun running scheme into Mexico designed to place criminal blame onto private American citizens in an attempt to create excuse to assault the 2nd amendment. This operation could even be considered a violation of international law as it involved delivering over 2500 weapons to drug lords in Mexico without even notifying the Mexican Government or working in co-operation with Mexican Law enforcement. The end result was almost 600 Mexican citizens killed, 2 American border patrol agents dead , no arrests made & the whereabouts of the majority of these weapons unknown.
Then there is Medicare , a system of lies, government intrusion into peoples lives , destruction of the best health care system the world ,IRS supervision over compliance. No mandatory reading or debate over the content of what the bill contained which included a half trillion dollar cut in medicare, fines, a government panel of review for coverage & procedure permission instead of medical professionals. Touted as the crowning jewel in Obamas crown this will cost at least 6 trillion dollars with estimates ranging far above that .Of course this is a mandatory requirement for all American s…..except for most government officials & thousands of Obama supporters, contributors, Labor Unions, political allies & certain special designees
The Sad but important thing is the Media still helps to promote the Obama agenda lending their helping to coverup his failures,his Socialist activities, the criminal activity of his administration & acting as the mouthpiece for the talking points of the Democratic Party.
I consider this President to be a traitor to this country, an enemy of a free & strong America with a belief in Marxist Socialism determined to destroy this the greatest country the world has ever known.
I do not understand the willingness of the Media to work in concert with this administration,if Obama is successful in his quest the Media will be among the first to be muzzled.
The American people…..have we really become a nation of people with hands out believing they are entitled to everything for free instead of a Country comprised of “Hands On Can Do” people as were are ancestors who made America the greatest ever…….The worlds shining light, a beacon of hope & inspiration for all of mankind.
Are we really in the twilight of our existence as a free country?
Yes. It’s because the hippies took over first the schools, then the media, and now the government. And just recently, a generation that was raised on the Smurfs and brainwashed by a purple dinosaur came of voting age. Obama was inevitable. And Hillary won’t be denied, either.
Adios, America.
Reminiscent of that mouldy old document which contains the words
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”
and continues with a vertical listing of George III’s arrogance, unawareness, and contempt in his handling of subjects in the colonies.
Dudley 1 got it absolutely right. I doubt anyone could have said it better. The only thing I can add here is that The Komrade Mother-f***ing Liar-in-Chief, his Shyster General Holder, Sock-puppet Carney, and all the others in his so-called “administration” lie like cheap rugs just about every time they open their yaps. And, of course, it goes without saying that nearly every time he says anything, Mortimer Snerd Biden says something stupid.
I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said, “When the government fears the people, we will have liberty. When the people fear the government, we have tyranny.” Nothing could be more true today. The American people are running scared, and have been for the last 4-1/2 years, and will for the next 3-1/2 years if Congress doesn’t get off their collective dead asses and do something positive about this gang of bums that we laughingly call an “administration”.
Everyone fondly remembers and misses our nation’s moralist, Ted Kennedy, who said about Nixon during the Watergate hearings, “No man stands above the law.”
No man stands above the law, nor above high tide at Chappaquidick either!
