The Media’s Ukraine Hocus-Pocus

Posted on Comments

How many times do you have to watch the same magic trick before you start getting wise to the fact that the rabbit was never in the hat to begin with? The media’s approach to any controversy or scandal involving President Obama begins with two basic premises:

  1. Everything Obama does is right and good;
    and
  2. Any critic who says otherwise is wrong and bad.

This has been the way with everything from the 2009 “stimulus” bill to ObamaCare to Benghazi to the IRS scandal, and now we’re seeing the same method applied to the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

Don’t listen to Obama’s Ukraine critics: he’s
not ‘losing’ — and it’s not his fight
— Michael Cohen, Guardian

No, American Weakness Didn’t Encourage
Putin to Invade Ukraine
— Peter Beinart, The Atlantic

Translation: “That thing you thought you saw did not actually happen.”

In the initial reaction to Putin’s Crimean invasion, everyone saw it as an obvious embarrassment to Obama.

Then the clever liberals went to work, re-arranging the facts. Within a few days, they will have convinced us (a) that anyone who criticizes Obama for what happened in Ukraine is a neocon chickenhawk who wants to start World War Three, and (b) that Obama’s leadership in this crisis has been faultless, praiseworthy and arguably even heroic. Because in the eyes of liberals, it could never be otherwise.

When done with the fun run, Sissypuss heard, Obama and Biden were to hear about plans to blame the Ukrainian crisis on some random B-movie film maker. “It’s one way to get attention off ObamaCare,” said Greasy Joe.

#OccupyResoluteDesk Totally Knows Him Some Foreign Policy

Look at Obama just mop up the floor with Romney during the 2012 debates:


Five years of observing BHO, from Zelaya in Honduras, to Chavez in Venezuela, to the Green Revolution in Iran, to Libya and Syria, and now Russia/Ukraine lead to the following observation: I daresay Obama’s sympathies are totally with Putin, and all the other hard workin’ world leaders just tryin’ to keep civilization goin’.

The peasantry craving old-fashioned notions like rule of law, budgets, political- and religious expression are merely a pesky detail to remove.

Palin Vindicated on Russia, Ukraine: ‘I Could See This One From Alaska’

Posted on Comments

She who laughs last:

Sarah Palin may be having a bragging rights moment.
In 2008, when she was the GOP vice presidential nominee, Palin questioned in a speech whether then-Sen. Barack Obama would have the foreign policy credentials to handle a scenario in which Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.
“After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence — the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next,” she said in Reno, Nevada on October 21, 2008.
The former Alaska governor was happy to highlight her prediction on Friday and scold those who criticized her 2008 comments.
“Yes, I could see this one from Alaska,” she said on Facebook. That remark was a reference to a 2008 interview in which Palin argued that Alaska’s proximity to Russia helped boost her foreign policy experience.
Saturday Night Live parodied her remarks in a now-famous sketch with Tina Fey, who played Palin on the show, saying “I can see Russia from my house.”
On Facebook, Palin continued to explain how she anticipated a growing crisis between Russia and Ukraine, where there has now been an uncontested arrival of Russian military forces by air at a Russian base in Ukraine’s Crimea region. They are believed to be Russian land forces, according to a U.S. assessment.
“I’m usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as ‘an extremely far-fetched scenario’ by the ‘high-brow’ Foreign Policy magazine.”

And while Vladimir Putin was reportedly sending 2,000 paratroopers to the Crimean peninsula, what was Obama’s reaction?

President Obama himself, having delivered a limp warning to Vladimir Putin, decamped for a meeting of the Democratic National Committee, where he told a cheering crowd: “Well, it’s Friday, it’s after 5:00. So this is officially happy hour with the Democratic Party.”

 


And Satan Said, ‘Abra Cadaver’, And Lo: Harry Reid Did Clutter The Senate

Poor, poor, pitiful Reid. So tired sounding; so burned out by the ongoing effort to do what he thinks is proper, in the face of the Koch machine:
God save us from the endless stream of lies that Harry Reid embodies. Truly, the GOP can retake the Senate merely by playing Harry Reid clips. As Dennis Miller immortally intoned:

The voice. If it’s possible to make Mr. Limpet sound like Demosthenes, Reid does it every time he opens his ashen pie-hole and haltingly forces out that tremulous, pale gray oratory that sounds like it’s oozing from a stuck caulking gun.


Great rant. Too bad Reid’s evil, coupled to Las Vegas in such a pagan fashion, could not be un-elected. People like to blame Sharon Angle, but you really have to blame Nevada for preferring a piece of work like Reid, to the detriment of the country.

Arguing With Psychotics

Posted on Comments

How are we supposed to have meaningful discussions of politics and policy, when Democrats are devoted to promoting paranoia?

Study: Global Warming Will Cause
180,000 More Rapes by 2099
… Using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s warming projections, Ranson calculated that from 2010 to 2099, climate change will “cause” an additional “22,000 murders, 180,000 cases of rape, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 robberies, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny, and 580,000 cases of vehicle theft” in the United States.

See? it’s science, and you can’t argue with science. This certainty of impending climate-induced doom is intended to provoke  global-warming panic that will elect more Democrats pledged to enact draconian anti-business regulations that will strangle the economy. The resulting poverty and misery can be blamed on “the rich,” who will be targeted with punitive confiscatory taxes.

Irrational fear and hatred are essential to the agenda of the Democrat Party, and this kind of “science” gives them an excuse to say that if you oppose their environmental policies, you are pro-rape. But of course, Amanda Marcotte knows you’re pro-rape:

I have a better suggestion for Republicans: If you want the war-on-women narrative to go away, stop waging it. The reason that “war on women” is such a simple, evocative phrase is that you don’t really have to explain what it means to the public. Indeed, the phrase was initially the “Republican war on women,” but the “Republican” part fell off because it was so clearly implied in the other three words. Just as the phrase “just do it” immediately calls to mind an athlete ready to spring in a pair of prominently featured Nikes, the phrase “war on women” immediately calls to voter minds a bunch of middle-aged men in suits trying to figure out how to take away control of the nation’s vaginas from the women who are currently sitting on them.

Show of hands: Any of you Republican guys want to “control” Amanda Marcotte’s vagina? I didn’t think so. But the agenda of paranoia — inducing people to fear non-existent threats — isn’t about facts or logic. Or vaginas, for that matter.

No, it’s about ginning up hate against Republicans, and then exploiting that hatred to elect Democrats. It is impossible to “debate” Democrats about this paranoid stuff — you’ll just get the taint of their craziness smeared all over you.

Meanwhile, left-wing filmmakers Joe and Harry Gantz have created an anti-capitalist film called American Winter about how our nation must enact socialism now — for the children!

 

Eric Holder Hospitalized

Posted on Comments

Don’t know what the diagnosis or prognosis is:

Attorney General Eric Holder was taken to an area hospital Thursday after reporting faintness and shortness of breath.
Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said Holder, 63, began experiencing the symptoms during a regular senior staff meeting at the department.
“As a precaution, the attorney general was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center to undergo further evaluation,” Fallon said. “He is currently resting comfortably and in good condition. He is alert and conversing with his doctors.”

Most likely a heart attack, but we’ll have to wait and see.

 

Obama: OFA ‘Doing God’s Work’

Posted on Comments

Steven Ertelt of LifeNews noticed that quote from an event last night, and was reminded of when President Obama said “God bless” Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States.

By the way, I’ve been researching a follow-up on Miriam Weeks, the Duke University freshman Women’s Studies major who pays her tuition by performing in porn as “Belle Knox.” Just a warning to anyone who might be curious: Her Twitter feed is NSFW.

Someone in the comments of last night’s post suggested that the reason Miriam Weeks doesn’t use her real name is because her parents would not approve. Well, her father’s a doctor and they sent her to a private Catholic prep school, so that’s a good guess, but I was reminded of an old Chris Rock comedy routine:

“They don’t grade fathers, but if your daughter’s a stripper, you f**ked up. . . . Some of them were abused, and some of them just missed a few hugs . . . . ‘I’ll show you! I’m going to dance naked to Motley Crue records!'”

Miriam Weeks has done much more than merely dance naked.
