Nobel Prize for Weakness

The Nobel prize now holds about as much value as the Confederate dollar. Obarrassing winning the Nobel peace prize is like me winning a gold in Olympic swimming. I risk drowning every time I brush my teeth, and likewise, Obarrassing's clearly in over his head. This street fair's just too big for him.

So why did he get the award? Because he's not only willing, but eager to bring the United States down to the level of a 3rd world country to gain their favor. He wants to be liked, and if that means ruining our economy, taking away our freedoms, and denigrating all that this country once stood for, so be it.

There's a difference between arrogant and proud. We should be proud of our achievements as a nation; Obarrassing views this as arrogance. We should be confident that we can continue to help the peoples of the world in their quest for freedom; Obarrassing would rather help their oppressors. He's genuflecting to corrupt, ineffective beaurocrats and dictators, and alienating our allies.

Obarrassing vision of peace is rooted in weakness for all. Unfortunately, there are some big kids on the block that will see this as just what it is - cowardice. He's won the prize; now we'll all get to pay the price.

Who does the IOC think they are, denying the shining Obarrassing duo the 2012 Olympics? This is inconceiveable! That a board of mere mortals, the dregs of society, clearly biased and uninformed, would dare to deny Obarrassing his goal? Clearly race is behind this; it must be. Chris Matthews' legs must be aching today, the tingle gone, faded into a fond memory, one that I'm sure he relives nightly in his sordid little left wing dreams.

Clearly, the international community is getting just as tired of Obarrassing's "I Love Me" efforts as we here at home are. He's an empty suit with a smile, propped up by a mindless pack of willing automatons. Fortunately, as the weight of actual responsibilities presses on him, more and more of them are seeing that the man is all hat, no cattle.

The Olympic torch will burn brightly, but the light of Obarrassings self-aggrandizement has, at least momentarily, been snuffed.

Congratulations, Rio!

"You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free."

This is a line from Obarrassing's upcoming speech to school children. All this time, I've been thinking America was the land of the free, where everyone has an opportunity. Again, my foolish patriotic nature has apparently blinded me to the reality of enslavement and discrimination that lurks outside my door. This is the type of thing that, true or not, will creep into your child's thoughts. The more they hear this sort of anti-American propaganda, the more true it becomes in their minds. This is why I'm disturbed by Obarrassing's speech. Sure, it's just one speech. Tomorrow. But with his ego, and his agenda, you can rest assured that there will be more, and each of them will be sprinkled with this kind of suggestive blather. If this were Joe Liberal, sitting on a bus, it would be some guy sharing his opinion. It's not... it's the President of the United States, being pumped into hundreds of thousands of classrooms simultaneously. This is indoctrination, and this is exactly what we don't want.

Here are a couple other gems: "Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country," and , "I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down."

Why not just use a little guilt, too? I'm working hard to make it better for you; so gosh, please, don't let me down, Bobby. Or your parents. Or your country. Guilt is a great tool for an ineffective parent, sure to burden a child with a whopping dose of insecurity. Again, combine this with being pitched in a school setting, and you're compounding the problem. I don't really need my child being demeaned by his President.

And despite the actual content of the speech, I was listening to a liberal blogger today on a national radio talk show. He attributed the reluctance of some parents to let their kids sit in on tomorrow's speach to their misgivings about having a black president. The left can't grasp the fact that we can actually disagree with someone's philosophies and ideas without taking their race into account.

Hijacking Young Minds

My child's school superintendent was quite surprised when we expressed concerns over the upcoming forced indoctrination session that Obarrassing has planned. "Why wouldn't you want ___________ to listen?" they asked.

1) My child has an excellent teacher, and I'd rather my child spend an extra hour with her, actually learning, than being primed to vote as a Democrat and having his head filled with nonsense about climate change and socialist utopias.
2) Because it's my job, not Obarrassings, to instill the importance of hard work, education, and community service in my child.
3) Because Obarrassing should have more important things to do than campaign to elementary schools.
4) Because I beleive that roughly 99.73% of his ideas are harmful to our country, our children, and life as we know it on planet Earth, and I don't needed him promoted blindly by the schools.
5) Because my child doesn't "serve the president," it's the other way around. Or at least, it's supposed to be.

Schools need to teach kids about the government, the branches, and checks and balances. We need to teach respect for the office of the Presidency, not blind devotion to a man who's basically a vacuous ego with feet.

When liberals protest, no matter how disruptive, loud, or disrespectful, it's a beautiful, essential expression of free speech, of standing up against "the man." This is true whether they're promoting abortion, calling George Bush a terrorist, saving whales or chaining themselves to trees. (Too bad they wouldn't try chaining themselves to the whales for a change...)

But let an average American take time off from work to show up to disagree with Obarrassing's "Death to Health Care" program, and suddenly it's a vast, right-wing conspiracy funded by insurance companies and manned by closet Nazis. And good Lord, if they happen to be wearing suits... well, we know that just couldn't be! Well-dressed Americans, protesting? Clearly, this is too bizarre to comprehend, and thus, must be the result of a black op of some kind.

It's an interesting double standard, and yet, the more I listen to these arrogant, self-centered blowhard Dems, the more I'm starting to think that they ACTUALLY BELIEVE this to be the truth. Is this possible, and if so, how?

It's apparent to most that Shrieker Pelosi isn't accessing anywhere near the normal level of human intellect. This may explain the problem. Perhaps bits of Nancy Pelosi's brain have been aerosolized (probably as a result of flying around in a delapidated, horribly outdated aircraft with tragically faulty air circulation and cabin pressurization) and have spread throughout elected Dems. Once lodged in the unsuspecting Dem's brain, the Pelosicytes infect them, pumping massive doses of fermented estrogen and surplus botox into their cerebellums, causing the host politician to become completely, irreversibly, deranged.
Another cause could simply be the sudden presence of Al Franken. That dropped the average IQ in D.C. from slightly-below-normal to turnip.
Regardless, it's a problem we must deal with. Stand up. Speak out. Exercise your rights to free speech while you still can. And please, for safety's sake, if Nancy Pelosi walks into the room, hold your breath.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr.: VIW

Henry Louis Gates Jr., VIP, was also clearly a VIW... a victim in waiting. He has probably spent his entire adult life waiting for an opportunity to play the victim card, and now an unsuspecting professional has blundered into his trap. Sgt. Crowley should be commended for doing his job, and doing it well. But he's trapped in the morass that is our politically correct society.

To top it all off, Obarrassing decides to set race relations back by about a decade by opening his mouth with absolutely no idea of the specifics of the case, armed only with his own racism and a desire to help Mr. Gates wave the victim flag.

Shame on you, Mr. President.

Supporting the Second Amendment

The Second Amendment to the Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."



Lots of liberal-minded folks want us to believe this is intended to mean that the states can arm official militias, not that the average citizen (that's you and me) have the right to bear arms. Well, here are just a few quotes from some folks who might have had some insight into the founders intent:


"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them." (Richard Henry Lee, Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress, initiator of the Declaration of Independence, and member of the first Senate, which passed the Bill of Rights.)


"The great object is that every man be armed . . . Everyone who is able may have a gun." (Patrick Henry, in the Virginia Convention on the ratification of the Constitution.)


"The advantage of being armed . . . the Americans possess over the people of all other nations . . . Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several Kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (James Madison, author of the Bill of Rights, in his Federalist Paper No. 46.)


I, for one, don't see a lot of ambiguity in these statements. Personally, I don't consider the 2nd amendment as simply bestowing upon me a right; I consider it a call to exercise my responsibility as a citizen. Exercise your 2nd amendment rights - and responsibilities - while you still can.

Where will we go?

When your doctor points to his federal healthcare treatment guidelines manual and says "I'm sorry, Ted, but I'm not allowed to authorized any more chemo," where will you go? You won't get the help you need in Canada, or Mexico.

When "cost-cutting" kicks in under Obarrassing's proposed health care plan, it will be in the form of cutting back pay to doctors and hospitals, fewer choices for medications and treatments, "negotiating" lower prices for medications with the drug companies, and in rationing care. Don't think it won't happen here, it's happening everywhere else where there's socialized medicine.

What's worse here is that the sheepification of the American people has rendered us, it seems, unable to look out for our own best interests. By the time everyone glued to American Idol realizes what's happening to their country, it will be too late. We're like frogs being brought to a slow boil.

MAKE SOME NOISE. Call your representatives. E-mail them. Speak out... while you still have the right to do so.

A Fatal Illness

I just received the dreaded public opinion poll call, and the topic was (fanfare, please) health care reform. I did my reluctant duty as a citizen and took the opportunity to answer "very much opposed" to every facet of the Obarrassing plan, but the frustrating part, as it always is with these surveys, was the loaded questions. For instance:

"What income group do you think should have their health care subsidized by the government?"
- Those who make $30,000-$40,000; $40,000 to $50,000, etc. The problem... there was no "None of them" option for me to choose. That's why these polls, when reported out to whomever the client may be, give them the answers they want, no matter what you want. I chose only the lowest income bands, but only because that was the option closest to what my answer would be.

The lies about the number of uninsured go on and on. How many of the phantom uninsured are that way because they don't want to buy the coverage? Right or wrong, perhaps that healthy 25-year old would rather spend the money on a nicer apartment, or save it for a down payment on a first home. How many people out there "can't afford" health insurance, but they're driving $30,000 SUVS, and have 3 flat screen televisions in the house. How many of these uninsured are already here illegally, and are burdening out emergency rooms beyond capacity, and draining our resources?

It's too bad we can't buy insurance to protect us against the real disease that's killing our Constitution - the tumorous growth that our government has become.

Obarrassing's No Fly Zone

Insects around the world are nervously looking over their shoulders (very easy to do with compound eyes) after Obarrassing today declared war on bugs. In a dazzling display of unilateral extermination, our President fearlessly swatted a fly, and was immediately deluged with gushing praise from all corners of the globe. This display of the manly art of war garnered more praise than Reagan's defeat of the Soviet Union, or Bush 41's expulsion of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Rumor has it that ABC will air a 6 hour re-enactment of the tactical coup, broadcast from the bathroom off the Oval Office, this weekend.

We can no longer say that he's accomplished nothing of merit. All hail Obarrasing!

Healthcare's Untimely Demise

Okay, so you're on board with Obarrassing's healthcare plans. Good for you, that's cute. But here's the question you need to ask your elected representatives before it's too late: "Sir or Madam, at what point in the healthcare process will the nice person behind the desk ask me for my political party affiliation?"

Because, you see, unless they give you liberal democrats a different plan than the rest of us will be getting, your healthcare is going to be just as limited and inadequate as that of the Republicans and Independents.

So, if you want any elective surgery, get it done now. If Obarrassing gets his way, only the super-rich and the bureaucrats running the show will be able to get those nose jobs behind the scenes. Something tells me that Congressman Forkbend, from Doorknob, Mississippi will still be able to get the breast augmentation for his "niece," but don't you bother even trying to get that tummy tuck, Poopsie, that's just not in the budget. And if you're 78 years old, and you'd like to get that knee replaced, do it before "they" decide that the return won't be worthwhile. Sure, you might think it's worth it, but "they" may not. Sorry, no knee, hit the road, gramps.

There have been times when I didn't have health insurance, and times when I had to make payments for medical expenses. And yet, I've never gone without care if it was needed, nor have any of my children. There are a ton of people out there right now who "can't afford health insurance," and yet they're driving around brand new SUVs and watching flat screen televisions. And yet, we're told every 2.6 seconds by someone in Washington that the system is "broken."

"Broken" in Obarrassing's world simply means that it's working without him, and that's completely unacceptable.

David Letterman

Okay, I confess. In my misspent youth, I was a David Letterman fan. When he first started out as a talk-show host, he was actually funny, and had sort of the "underdog" thing going for him. Now, he's a drooling, witless, left-wing wack job. Can you imagine if Rush or Michael Savage, or anyone, were to foolishly refer to Her Most Imperial Highness Michelle's "slutty flight attendant look?" Heads would be exploding on the sets of all the major networks, and mobs of pseudo-journalist-Obama worshipers would be raging through the streets with pitchforks, chanting "Fairness Doctrine, Fairness Doctrine!" Sarah Palin has accomplished more of substance this week than David Letterman has in his lifetime. I think many of these left-wing metrosexuals find her intimidating. We right wingers, we just think she's hot, smart, and eminently more qualified than the Apologizer in Chief.

Friday, June 5, 2009

Sorry...

... seems to be a theme developing. Our Apologist in Chief has now apologized to just about everyone but the Australian aborigines, but I'm sure he'll find something soon about which to beg forgiveness. This "man" is so desperate for acceptance that he's throwing the U.S. under the bus to garner good feelings - not for the U.S., but for himself. If anyone should be apologizing, it's the people who voted for him.

Now Obarrassing is working to drive more big companys' profits down by taking away any tax havens. Never mind that we already have one of the highest tax burdens for corporations on the planet. Only Japan's is higher. Many industrialized nations are significantly lowering their tax rates on business.

I went to Ireland back in 2000, and the country was having a rough time. I've been back twice since then, and their economy is going gangbusters. Why? In a big way, because they became very tax friendly for companies. Instead of punishing success, they created an environment in which it can actually thrive. This brought global companies knocking on the door, and created massive job opportunities. Go figure.

Obarrassing really should try and let go of his hate, and drop the victim mentality. Taking revenge on the big guys on behalf of his liberal constituency is going to make things worse for all of us. Of course, that's exactly what Obarrassing wants, isn't it?

A friend has planted quite a crop of tomatoes, but I fear he has a challenge - hot, dry climate and vanishing worms. I, on the other hand, planted my zucchini and cukes yesterday, only to have a frost (yes, a real frost) this morning. I'm sure my little seeds are fine, hunkered down there in the ground. I'm planting some pumpkins tonight, but I'm going to wait another week or so before I put out my own tomato plants. Just in case.

God bless little Miss California for speaking the truth about her beliefs, too bad it cost her a dream. She could just as easily have lied about her beliefs, and probably would have won. Instead, she stood up for her values. She's got more courage tucked away in that tiny little frame of hers than 98% of our "leaders" do.

Also, the Curmudgeon is proud to be a Certifed Right Wing Extremist, as defined by our Dept. of Homeland Scrutiny.

Grudging Curmudgeon

Okay, the Curmudgeon gives credit where it's due. At least Obarrassing didn't order the Navy not to take action, so good for him. Now if he could show some spine with Iran, perhaps we'd start to see a glimmer of respect.

I'm still not sure why he feels that we should be schmoozing with the likes of Chavez, but my guess is that he's craving his acceptance and approval, and that of Chavez's ilk. Isn't that what you do with those you respect and admire... you seek their approval?

Even more Obarrassing

You know that Navy SEAL teams are begging to be let loose on this hostage situation, while President Obama frets quietly in the White House, waiting for an adult to come along and make a decision for him. In the meantime, our nation loses face with every second that passes.

We've seen apologies. We've seen gaffs. We've seen subservience. What we haven't seen is leadership. The Cautious Curmudgeon is worried.

Obarrasing

Why is it that the more tactless Michelle Obama acts, the more praise she gets from the American "media"? For Pete's sake, she mauled the Queen and blessed her with the ever-thoughtful gift of an Ipod Shuffle. Boy, that took some soul searching. What, were they out of fruit cake? Is this what we've become - a nation that reveres tacky? There's little doubt that even Europeans are now shaking their head and regretting their vomitous support of this disastrous duo.

Ayieeee!

Worst Dictators?

I saw last week's Parade magazine; it had a feature piece on the world's 10 worst dictators. Where's the list of the best ones? How bad do you have to screw up to be one of the worst of these guys?

Friday, March 27, 2009

Okay, so why blog? Because maybe, somewhere out there, someone's bored, and they'll stumble across my ramblings and get something out of it... even it just makes them say "Wow, it could be worse, I could be that guy."
