Obama Will Veto Bill to De-Fund
Planned Parenthood Despite
Selling Aborted Baby Parts

Obama Appointee And Bundler
Blocks More Video Releases By Group
Behind Planned Parenthood Sting

White House threatens to veto bill

Does a Future Planned Parenthood Video
Contain ‘Prima Facie Evidence
of Born-Alive Infants?’
— David French, National Review

It is important to keep in mind during this controversy that, despite everything the abortion industry will try to tell you, the question is not Planned Parenthood’s existence, but whether federal taxpayer dollars should be used to fund it.

Apologists for the Culture of Death are experts at rhetorical prestidigitation, deflecting criticism and distracting the public’s attention with emotional appeals about “rights” and “women’s health.” They will use character assassination against their critics, trying to “kill the messenger” by demonizing their opponents with accusations of bad faith (mala fides) that are irrelevant to the issue. However, we do not need to engage in metaphysical or existential debates about “rights” in order to say that American taxpayers should not be required to fund an organization that profits from what everyone with a conscience recognizes as a ghastly and abominable business:

We have passed the point where Nazi comparisons are inappropriate. In the latest video about Planned Parenthood, if you want to watch it, you will see an admission that some of the children are born alive before being killed and carved up — their bodies being sold essentially for scrap.
These are children. They entered into the world alive and were killed, chopped up, and sold bit by bit.
“It’s a boy,” one person commented in the latest film. They talk about the commoditization of children’s eyeballs (the ones in the video were not developed enough), hearts that turn to mush they are so small, and reference the legs, feet, and hands of the children.
They are children being killed, butchered, and sold in pieces.

You can read the rest at Red State.

Democrats are the Party of Death, forever stained by their embrace of this hideous evil. No honest person believes their lies.




 

Poll Finds ‘Clear Majority’ of Americans Are Hopelessly Gullible Fools

Posted on Comments

That’s not the headline in the Washington Post, however:

Poll: Clear majority supports
nuclear deal with Iran

We’re conducting diplomacy by referendum now? Exactly how much does the average American know about the details of this “deal”? Are folks sitting around over dinner at the Olive Garden chatting about centrifuges and enriched uranium? Have random adults suddenly become experts in foreign policy? Isn’t this rather a specialized field of endeavor? Isn’t it true that Americans have historically been “turned off” by foreign policy discussions and prone to isolationism? Don’t questions about foreign policy usually break down along partisan lines, so that when a Republican is in the White House, Democrats disapprove (e.g., “Bush is Hitler” and “No war for oil”) and vice-versa?

The decision to go to war in Iraq — which nearly all Democrats and not a few Republicans now consider a mistake — was hugely popular in 2003. George W. Bush’s approval ratings soared as the bombs started falling in Baghdad. And yet this “vox populi, vox dei“ attitude, whereby the liberal media now push a “deal” with Iran, was not at all evident among liberals in 2003. No sir. When a Republican was in the White House, dissent was celebrated as a patriotic duty. Certainly, with a Republican president we didn’t see this synchronicity of purpose between the political regime and the media class that is so apparent today.

Anyone who thinks that Barack Obama and John Kerry are wise stewards of America’s world interests is a damned fool. Period.

They have created a phony self-imposed “deadline” for this Iran deal, and experience suggests we’d be better of with no deal.

 

Confession: I Want A Cruz Administration As Much For Prosperity As For Relentless Waves Of Butthurt From M.B. Dougherty

The anticipatory agony from Michael B. Dougherty is schadenfreude-licious:

Cruz also exhorted his audience to “imagine” many things, an America that is “finally becoming energy self-sufficient,” “booming economic growth,” “young people coming out of school with four, five, six job offers,” and the eradication of the IRS. He implored us to imagine a president that protects the Second Amendment, repeals every word of ObamaCare, ends Common Core, and stands with Israel.

In other words, imagine an America with no Democrats or Independents.

Got news for you, Dougherty: you got turning the economy around, and reducing unemployment by getting people to work again instead of just quitting in despair, and those Independents will join conservatives in staring at you like a messy bit of rhetorical road kill.

Dougherty’s piece is so bad as to achieve total self-parody:

Except Cruz is worse than Obama. At least rhetorically, Obama often credited the good faith disagreement of conservatives, and made it seem like their voices counted. Cruz has yet to offer a single policy proposal or rhetorical lifeline to the middle.

Bollocks. Obama, to my recollection, has never once said anything generous regarding those in disagreement with him, always managing either to imply they’re fools, or he’s the moderate and reasonable guy.

No, the sum of the Obama Era is that Democrats (a) argue in bad faith, and (b) cannot believe that any else argues in good faith.

Question To #OccupyResoluteDesk Next Time His Piehole’s Open Near A Reporter

The no-talent rodeo clown hath spoken: Netanyahu’s comments ‘erode the name of democracy’. OK, it’s not clear what that means. It’s still ‘democracy’, and not ’emocracy’ or ‘democrac’. Because if we’re going to hammer Bibi for saying something stupid, e.g.:

Following Netanyahu’s pre-election statement that there would be no Palestinian state if he were re-elected, Obama “indicated to him that given his statements prior to the election, it is going to be hard to find a path” forward on negotiations, Obama said.
Obama also said that he took issue with Netanyahu’s campaign trail warning that Israeli Arabs were headed to the polls “in droves.”

Shouldn’t the president at least be precise in the criticism? How do you erode the name of an abstract concept whose symbol is fairly constant, irrespective of who is throwing it in the urinal like an aromatic cake?

But that’s just a pedantic quibble. More practically, isn’t President Obama the same jackwagon who discussed voting as the ‘best revenge’?

So, if we can get Jake Tapper or Major Garrett a free moment, I’d like to have them inquire of ol’ Stompyfoot McPointyfinger:

How, exactly, does he think Netanyahu’s campaign trail remarks substantially differ from his 2012 entreaty?

I was pretty concerned about Obama when he made that remark, as it’s a challenge to reconcile tempting others to behave in a spirit of vengeance with Christian faith. But I’ll keep praying for BHO and the world. And I certainly should try use the respect level due the office, and not the respect his record has earned, in addressing BHO. Blogging is scant recompense for the ridiculous damage he’s inflicting, though.

Netanyahu Wins, Obama Loses

Posted on Comments

It was profoundly weird to watch coverage of the Israeli elections Tuesday. At one point, I saw CNN’s John King doing exit poll results as if this was a U.S. presidential election and I was like, “What the hell is this?” What it was, of course, is that American Democrats (including members of President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign team) had launched an enormous effort to defeat Israel’s conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Predictably, the liberal media jumped aboard this Democrat-driven anti-Netanyahu bandwagon, and yesterday there was a palpable excitement from the media talking heads as they anticipated the imminent defeat of the Dreaded Right-Wing Jew.

Israeli voters, however, decided that Democrats and their liberal media friends must cry the tears of unfathomable sadness:

Barack Obama might have hoped for a leadership change that would reboot his poisoned relationship with Israel’s government. But he didn’t get it on Tuesday, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 00 thanks in part to a hard lurch right — appeared to make a dramatic comeback after trailing in pre-election polls.
As votes were counted Tuesday night, Netanyahu claimed a dramatic comeback victory. “Against all odds: A great victory for the Likud. A major victory for the Israeli people,” he posted on Facebook.

In the Obama Age, everything is about Obama, even the elections in Israel. Steven Kruiser at PJMedia comments:

The last few days were absolutely polluted with stories about Netanyahu’s imminent political demise, with the most popular version of the tale being that he ruined his chances by angering great and powerful thin-skinned consumer of canines currently occupying the Oval Office.
One does not hurt Barack Obama’s feelings without some backlash.
Now that Obama has once again been revealed impotent in helping candidates not named Barack Obama to victory, his media petting zoo is out of sorts. They will be expending a lot of effort to explain exactly why this victory wasn’t really a victory.

Let Us Enjoy A Moment When We’ve Something Nice To Say Of Stacy’s Cousin

It’s not often that I can give a thumbs up to fellow IFNAG and Senator John McCain, but signing Senator Cotton’s letter was the Right Thing To Do.

Vox is about as clueful on this point as they were on Her Majesty’s email.

McCain told Politico that:

“I saw the letter, I saw that it looked reasonable to me and I signed it, that’s all. I sign lots of letters.”

McCain’s statement, reported late on Tuesday when the furor over Cotton’s letter had become a national scandal, seems clearly intended to minimize his actions by making them seem commonplace and inconsequential.
Just signing a letter! Who among us hasn’t signed letters? Basically the same as the family update your mom mails to all her cousins every Christmas — they’re all just “letters.”

Well, yeah, read it, Vox bimbo. This is the same blog where another Vox knob said of the letter:

This is a direct strike at the president’s ability to conduct foreign policy without congressional interference. Presumably, Clinton doesn’t like the precedent: after all, Senate Republicans could do something similar to a President Clinton in 2017.

Now, I’m old enough to remember that fabled, pre-unitary executive America, when the Senate had a responsibility to ratify treaties. Rumor has it that the Vox staff thinks “treaties” are what they get from neighbors at Halloween.

No wonder I don’t read Vox. I feel dumber from even this tiny exposure.

Issa: Her Majesty & #OccupyResoluteDesk Are Both Beyond Justice & They Know It

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on Sunday suggested that Hillary Clinton could face criminal charges if she knowingly withholds emails from congressional investigators.
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Issa noted that “voluntary cooperation does not guarantee that it’s a crime not to deliver all” requested emails.

Setting up your own security is both:

  • boneheaded due to risks, and
  • looks kinda like a precursor to shady moves.

But how, under the sun, are you going to bring charges, and actually carry out a trial?

Stipulate for a moment that you do. What difference, at that point, would it make? Irrespective of the Rodeo Clown’s personal contempt for Her Majesty, President Jarrett is going to put a pardon in front of the meat puppet for one of those elegant signatures.

Corporate integrity is like driver courage in bad weather, I realized in last Thursday’s slush. We’re going to go a little slower than the biggest coward on the road, no matter the conditions. The organization as a whole is going to be slightly slimier than the lowest cretin in the lot. When you’re beset with zero-integrity dirtbags like Occupy Resolute Desk and Her Majesty, the miracle is that we’re not closer to a banana republic than we already are.

The GOP needs to quit boring everyone with the potential for justice that is no longer attainable in this corrupt system. What’s needful is that the facts be broadcast, the plan to refresh our federal government promulgated, and the reform package put to voters for 2016.

Don’t bore me, Issa.

The United Hates of America

We’re more than six years into the Obama Age — “Hope! Change!” — and everybody hates everybody now:

The Associated Students of University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) voted Tuesday to remove all flags, including American flags, from an inclusive space on campus because of their offensive nature.
The bill, R50-70, was authored by Social Ecology Representative Matthew Guevara, and accuses all flags, especially, the American flag, of being “symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism.”
“[F]lags construct paradigms of conformity and sets [sic] homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy,” the bill reads.
The legislation argues that flags may be interpreted differently; the American flag, for example, can represent “American exceptionalism and superiority,” as well as oppression.
“[T]he American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism,” the bill continues, arguing that “symbolism has negative and positive aspects that are interpreted differently by individuals.”
The anti-flag hanging bill adds that free speech, such as flags in inclusive spaces, can be interpreted as hate speech.
“[F]reedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible[,] can be interpreted as hate speech,” the bill reads.

Meanwhile, in Albuquerque:

They’re calling it “prom-munism.” Seniors at an Albuquerque school want their prom to have a Communism theme. Seniors at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School near I-25 and Paseo del Norte voted online this week for the theme of their prom this year.
“They wanted prom-munism, so that’s what got voted for the most,” said senior Sarah Zachary. . . .
“We have a lot of jokesters in our grade, so they wanted it to be funny and a lot of them are really intense with politics,” Zachary said.
However, students who asked to remain anonymous don’t believe Communism is a joking matter.
“I would hope Cottonwood would realize the seriousness of having a very powerful and destructive idea as the theme for a prom,” one student wrote.
Another said, “While the seniors meant no harm in their choice of theme, it is not appropriate.”
“Our students are in the International Baccalaureate program, so they are very academically focused,” said Sam Obenshain, executive director at Cottonwood. “One of the classes they enjoy the most is a world history class.”

Meanwhile, in Detroit:

The same week President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder are stirring the pot over alleged systemic racism in the criminal justice system in Ferguson, Missouri, a white federal judge was shot in Detroit as he fought off two Black men trying to rob him outside his home Thursday night.
Judge Terrence G. Berg, who was nominated by Obama to be a United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 2012, was accosted outside the home he has lived in with his family for decades as he took out the trash around 9 p.m.
According to police and Berg’s wife Ann Sevier, two Black men between eighteen and twenty years old confronted Berg, telling him they were robbing him and to let them in his house. Berg resisted the robbers to prevent them from gaining entry.

The American flag is hate speech. Communism is a prom theme. A federal judge is shot. Republicans demand gay marriage. What?

“A disaster of biblical proportions. . . . Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff. . . . Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!”

 

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
