The Courage of Her Convictions

 
Mary Ann Glendon, Harvard law professor and prominent Catholic conservative intellectual, announced that she would not accept a prestigious award1 from Notre Dame because doing so would mean appearing on the same stage as Barack Obama. 
 
In a letter to Notre Dame's president she said:  "A commencement, however, is supposed to be a joyous day for the graduates and their families.  It is not the right place, nor is a brief acceptance speech the right vehicle, for engagement with the very serious problems raised by Notre Dame's decision, in disregard of the settled position of the US bishops, to honor a prominent and uncompromising opponent of the church's position on issues involving fundamental principles of justice". 
 
Notre Dame has been taking fierce criticism from American bishops, as well as hundreds of thousands of conservative Catholics (including alumni and donors), who have expressed their outrage that a Catholic university would honor a man who supports abortion rights up to and including infanticide, regardless of that man's elected position.  A bishop in Illinois suggested that Notre Dame change its name to "Northwestern Indiana Humanist University". 
 
Rev. Kenneth Himes, chairman of theology at Boston College, had this to say about the situation:  "There are some well-meaning people who think Notre Dame has given away its Catholic identity, because they have been caught up in the gamesmanship of American higher education, bringing in a star commencement speaker even if that means sacrificing their values, and that accounts for some of this.  But one also has to say that there is a political game going on here, and part of that is that you demonize the people who disagree with you, you question their integrity, you challenge their character, and you brand these people as moral poison.  Some people have simply reduced Catholicism to the abortion issue and, consequently, they have simply launched a crusade to bar anything from Catholic institutions that smacks of any sort of open conversation". 
 
Mr.  Himes, however, was singing a different tune in 2006 when he wrote a letter, which he circulated for the signatures of others, objecting to Boston College giving an honorary degree to Condoleezza Rice.  He said, "On the levels of both moral principle and practical moral judgment, Secretary Rice's approach to international affairs is in fundamental conflict with Boston College's commitment to the values of the Catholic and Jesuit traditions and is inconsistent wit the humanistic values that inspire the university's work". 
 
So, there it is.  It's gamesmanship to object to someone who believes in abortion, but it's quite acceptable, on the other hand, to object when someone supports a war you don't.  The unbridled, and unrecognized by them, hypocrisy of the Left on display yet again.

1  Ms. Glendon, who was the US Ambassador to the Vatican in 2008, was scheduled to receive the Laetare Medal, which honors a Catholc layperson who exemplifies the ideals of the church.

Loser of the Week

 
Arlen Specter, who else, for going over to the dark side.  After decades of pretending to be one thing, Mr. Specter now wants to be something else.  After claiming that his party had left him - that old canard - Mr. Specter finally admitted that the reason he switched was because he didn't think he could get re-elected as a Republican. 
 
One thing going for Mr. Specter, and pretty much the only thing, is at least that's an honest statement.  Instead of pretending to have ideals and beliefs, he admitted what we've known all along about politicians:  it's always only about getting re-elected. 
 
I used to think that Al Gore was the most pathetic man in politics.  Remember the 2000 election when he said that he would do anything to get elected and almost did.  Watching him desperately try to steal the presidency was painful. 
 
Then came 2004 and John Kerry.  The two-time gigolo who was so desperate to get out of Vietnam that he demanded medals for boo-boos.  The great war hero, as he now fancies himself, never incurred an injury that required more than Bactine and a band-aid. 
 
Now. there's Arlen Specter to join the ranks.  Hopefully, the dimocrats of Pennsylvania will give him an ignominious end to a career that never really amounted to anything except a headline-grabbing effort to get re-elected.

He May Have Left His Heart in San Francisco . . .

 
This is what Tony Bennett had to say recently about BO: 
 
"I love everything he's done and everything he's doing.  I think we should give him all-out support for anything he wants to do.  We should all help.  He's giving our country back to us, and that's the laws of the land - the citizens own the country . . . I think he's one of the great orators of all time . . . he is so intelligent, and he's such a great orator.  He has such a great way of communicating, and his thoughts and his philosophies are just astounding.  He's impressing the rest of the world.  I wish that everybody in America would realize that we really have a great president."  (Emphasis mine)

. . . but God only knows where his brain is.

Dial It Back, Sweetie

 
The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised its alert to 5, second-highest, and said a pandemic declaration may come soon.  A pandemic is defined as a "widespread outbreak of disease". 
 
Margaret Chan, director-general of WHO said, "It is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic . . . All countries should immediately now activate their pandemic plans". 
 
Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth where there are 6 billion people, there are 257 confirmed cases of swine flu - worldwide - with 7 deaths.  Pigs are being slaughtered by the thousands and not always humanely.  People are losing their livelihoods. 
 
If people were dropping like flies, I could understand the overheated rhetoric.  But, they're not. 
 
Why is it always necessary for someone to say that every single thing that happens is a crisis?  Why is it always necessary for someone to always create panic?

Unbelievable Stupidity or Something Else?

 
By now, you've all heard about the fly-over over New York City.  Somebody, somewhere thought the new administration needed some new publicity shots of Air Force One.  What the residents of NYC saw was a big plane, flying about 1,500 feet, being chased by at least one fighter jet.  Panic ensued.  People by the thousands streamed out of skyscrapers.  Some buildings were ordered evacuated.  People stood on the street looking skyward.

We'd all like to think that it was just some idiot who ordered the flight to be kept confidential.  The e-mail sent to NYC's City Hall said that the information was "only to be shared with persons with a need to know" and "shall not be released to the public".  Yea, right.  The public was never going to find out about it.  In an FAA memo, the feds knew that the fly-over was going to cause panic, but they still ordered it be kept hush-hush, under threat of federal sanctions. 

NYC Mayor Bloomberg said that he wasn't told, but chastised his office for its role in keeping quiet.  The aide who knew has had a "disciplinary letter" placed in his file.  An aide knew, but not the Mayor?  NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly promised to never obey such a directive again. 

Louis Caldera from the White House Military Office took the blame, becoming the second sacrificial lamb of the BO administration.  The first being, of course, the new CEO of Fannie Mae who "committed suicide" a week or so ago. 

This was no mistake. nor was BO ignorant of it.  It was a cold and calculated move by a man committed to lowering our defenses to see how the public would react to a possible terrorist attack. 

It proves once and for all, to those with a 9/10 mentality or those who believe that if we're nice to them, they'll be nice to us, that this is still very much a 9/11 America that is not ready to see everything that President Bush did to keep us safe just thrown away. 

By the way, those in power should get it through their heads that there's a lot of us out here who don't care what is done to terrorists.  We don't think that making terrorists listen to loud music is bad.  We cheer the fact that waterboarding the 9/11 mastermind prevented another attack.  We don't suffer from any kind of guilt.  And, regardless of what the elites tell us, we know that we will always be better than those who would destroy us.

Moral Bearings?

 
Recently, BO said that the United States had lost its "moral bearings" under the previous administration.  This was said in the context of "enhanced" interrogation techniques which NPR (National Public Radio) just recently called "gruesome". 

You want to talk gruesome?  Okay, let's talk gruesome.  Gruesome is when a doctor delivers a baby feet first and just before the head emerges, sticks a sharp instrument in the back of the baby's head, sucks out the baby's brain, collapses the skull, and then delivers the now-dead baby. 

This is the practice known as partial-birth abortion.  This is what the interloper in the White House campaigned on.  This is what he promised to make the law of the land in all 50 states.  This is what he believes in. 

Absolutely no one who believes in this procedure - and that includes the entire democrat left - has any moral standing whatsoever to even comment on what the Bush administration did to keep this country safe, let alone condemn it.

Losers of the Week

 
Joseph Biden:  Upon accepting the Legal Momentum Hero Award at the Georgetown University Law Center, pro-abortion Biden said:  "You know there is no excuse for violence against a woman or child.  There is no excuse". 
 
Hey Joe.  Do you know what an abortion is? 
 
Hillary Clinton:  Saying in reference to Dick Cheney:  "Well, it won't surprise you that I don't consider him a particularly reliable source of information". 
 
What's that old saying about a pot and a kettle?
 
Barney Frank:  "I would let people gamble on the internet.  I would let adults smoke marijuana.  I would let adults do a lot of things, if they choose.  But allowing them total freedom to take on economic obligations that spill over into the broader society, or have a house in a neighborhood- when when they go bankrupt becomes a fire hazard for their neighbors - we're well beyond, the impact goes well beyond the individual." 
 
First of all, Barney Frank was pulling in tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac all the while adamantly refusing to let the Bush administration rein them in.  The current mortgage crisis can be laid squarely at the feet of Mr. Frank. 
 
Secondly, apparently Mr. Frank is unaware that people use credit cards to gamble on-line, racking up millions of dollars in bills that they cannot pay.  That is why Congress made it illegal.  Buying a house you cannot afford is not the only way to go bankrupt. 
 
Thirdly, apparently Mr. Frank is unaware that legalizing marijuana would mean a lot more people on our streets and highways driving under the influence.  Wouldn't more deaths and injuries "spill over into the broader society"? 
 
Perez Hilton, celebrity nobody gay judge at the Miss USA Pageant, for calling Miss California a "dumb b***h" because she's a Christian who believes in one man/one woman marriage. 
 
Nancy Pelosi for claiming that she was never briefed on waterboarding, despite eyewitness accounts indicating she was briefed some 30 times. 
 
Hey Nance, just because you weren't paying attention doesn't mean you weren't briefed.  Maybe she just doesn't know what the word "briefed" means.  It's not like she's the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Hmmmm. Why is That?

 
There's going to be a hearing today before the House Energy and Commerce committee on - you guessed it - global warming.  Appearing will be Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.  Lord Monckton is a loud and outspoken critic of the hoax of the ages. 

He was originally told that he would be appearing alongside none other than the High Priest of Climate Change himself, Mr. Albert Arnold Gore II.  However, when he landed in America yesterday, he was informed that he would not be "allowed" to testify alongside the great and powerful Gore. 

What is most likely going to happen is that Lord Monckton will appear alone and be rudely treated by the Lefties who want to impoverish us for their own power.  While Gore, meanwhile, will also appear alone and be treated like some god from Olympus, sent to impart his wisdom to us.

Why is it that the Wizard of Gore will not debate anyone on the subject that has made him rich, famous, and the recipient of the (tarnished, worthless) Nobel Peace Prize?  Scared?

Well Said


As I was sitting in church waiting for the start of the service, my grandpa came walking towards me pointing his finger.  No matter how old I get, and no matter how long he's been out of the U.S. Navy, that's still an intimidating sight.  As he approached me, his voice quivered as he said, "We saved that continent twice...how dare my president apologize for this country's arrogance."  My grandpa is right.  Americans need not apologize to the world for their arrogance; rather, Americans should apologize to their forefathers for the arrogance of their president.

 
Barack Obama's first foreign trip as President of the United States has confirmed the naiveté so many of us feared during the election cycle.  But worse than that, it has also demonstrated that our president suffers from either a complete misunderstanding of our heritage and history, or an utter contempt for it.  Neither is excusable. 

 
Garnering cheers from the French of all people, President Obama declared, "In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe 's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."  Consider that Obama spoke these words just 500 miles from the beaches of Normandy , where the sand is still stained with 65-year-old blood of "arrogant Americans."
 
Indeed, columnist Mark Whittington observes, "One should remind Mr. Obama and the Europeans how America has 'shown arrogance' by saving Europe from itself innumerable times in the 20th Century. World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and the wars in the Balkans were largely resolved by American blood, treasure, and leadership."  But all that appears lost on the president's seemingly insatiable quest to mend fences he imagines have been tarnished by the bullish George W. Bush.
 
If Obama wishes to continue trampling the presidential tradition of showing class to former office holders and publicly trash Bush for his own personal gain, so be it.  But all Americans should make clear that no man – even if he is the president – will tarnish the legacy of those Americans who have gone before us.  Ours is not a history of arrogance.  It is a history of courage, self-sacrifice, and honor.
 
When abusive monarchs repressed the masses, Americans resisted and overthrew them.  When misguided policies led to the unjust oppression of fellow citizens, Americans rebelled and overturned them.  When millions of impoverished and destitute wretches sought a new beginning, Americans threw open the door and welcomed them.  When imperial dictators were on the march, Americans surrendered their lives to stop them.  When communist thugs threatened world peace, Americans bled to defeat them.  When an entire continent was overwhelmed with famine and hunger, Americans gave of themselves to sustain it.  When terrorist madmen killed the innocent and subjugated millions, Americans led the fight to topple them.
 
This is the legacy that generations of Americans have left.  If President Obama seeks stronger relations with the world community, perhaps he should begin by reminding them of these very truths, rather than condemning his own countrymen on foreign shores.
 
This "obsessive need to put down his own country," has caused blogger James Lewis to call President Obama a "stunningly ignorant man" who has evidently never spoken to a concentration camp survivor, a Cuban refugee, a boat person from Vietnam, a Soviet dissident, or a survivor of Mao's purges.
 
Unfortunately, I can no longer bring myself to give Mr. Obama that benefit of the doubt.  Not after looking at the pain in my grandpa's eyes...a man who still carries shrapnel in his body from his service to this country.
 
As a student and teacher of history, I recognize that America has made mistakes...plenty of them, in fact.  But one of the great things about our people has been their courage and humility in admitting and correcting those mistakes.  God willing, they will prove that willingness again in four years and correct the mistake that is the presidency of Barack Obama.

Why Doesn't This Man Like America?

 
Considering that BO has just returned from his I-Apologize-For-Everything-America-Has-Ever-Done-Except-For-Electing-Me tour of Europe, now is a fitting time to reflect on the fact that no matter what it is, he always finds America lacking. 
 
Around the time of the Beijing Olympics, BO opined that we should emulate China with regard to infrastructure.  What he didn't say and no toady-journalist pointed out was that China has no such thing as eminent domain.  When the government wants property for something, it simply takes it, displacing the people who had previously called it home.  The people are expected to accept this without complaint.
 
BO recently said that he wants to emulate Spain when it comes to "green" jobs.  What he didn't say and no toady-journalist pointed out was that a recent report from Spain indicates that every "green" job that Spain created with government money over the last 8 years came at the expense of 2.2 regular jobs. 
 
And, only 1 in 10 of those new "green" jobs became permanent.  So, for every 20 jobs created, 44 will be lost, and only 2 will be permanent, resulting in a total job loss of 62.  It doesn't take a math genius to see how catastrophic this is going to be in terms of unemployment.  It's no wonder that the author of the study, Dr. Gabrial Calzada, an economics professor at Juan Carlos University in Madrid said that the program hindered, not helped, Spain's attempt to come out of its recession. 
 
The man BO originally picked to "fix" our healthcare system, Tom Daschle, stops just short of endorsing the socialist model of England.  He thinks there should be a Federal Health Board, run by experts, that answers to the government but is "largely insulated from the politics and passions of the moment".  Yea right.  This Federal Health Board would make all decisions with regard to cost and treatment because we "won't be able to make a significant dent in health-care spending without getting into the nitty-gritty of which treatments are the most clinically valuable and cost effective
 
Here's the first step in fixing healthcare:  insurance should only be used for emergencies and catastrophies.  Once doctors realize that they aren't going to get reimbursed for every little thing, they will stop ordering unnecessary tests and procedures, most of which are done for the sole purpose of billing the insurance company.  People won't be clogging up doctors' offices with every little sniffle or every little pain. 
 
The second step is already in force.  I refer, of course, to "never events" as defined by Medicare.  The term "never events" means that the situation should never have occurred in the first place and prevents the healthcare provider from billing Medicare, the person's private insurance, or the person.  Once doctors can't just automatically bill insurance companies for their malpractice, and have to start eating their own bills, they'll become better doctors, which will result in further savings. 
 
By the way, Daschle thinks that older people should be more "accepting" of what comes with age.  Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what he means by that.
 
Just this week, BO stated that he was no longer going to allow waterboarding and just might consider prosecutions for the people involved.  We know, of course, that he's referring to Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.  Damn the consequences, on with the witchhunts. 
 
BO's statement that waterboarding is mean and we're not going to do it anymore comes after a report said that waterboarding the 9/11 mastermind resulted in intelligence that prevented the "Second Wave", a plan to use East Asians to crash a hijacked airliner into a building in Los Angeles. 
 
A memo from Principal Deputy Attorney General Steven G. Bradbury to John A. Rizzo, the senior deputy general counsel for the CIA, said that: "Your office has informed us that the CIA believes that the intelligence acquired from these interrogations has been a key reason why al Qa'ida has failed to launch a spectacular attack int he West since 11 September 2001."
 
Before the use of "enhanced techniques", the captured terrorists were not only uncooperative but also contemptuous of the will of America to defend itself.  Now that BO has done away with a procedure that actually produces results, the people who want to destroy us are sitting back and laughing at us for being so incredibly stupid.  When the next attack happens in America, I don't think anybody will be more surprised than BO.  After all, doesn't everybody in the world just love him and hang on his every word!?! 
 
When BO was recently in Mexico, he sold the fiction that guns coming from the US are responsible for the carnage in Mexico.  Yea right.  What he didn't do while in Mexico was demand to know what is being done about the 134 Americans that have been murdered in Mexico.  Shows where his priorities are, doesn't it. 
 
While in Latin America for the Summit of the Americas, BO sat still for some 45 minutes while Daniel Ortega insulted America.  Probably thought we deserved it.

She's Too Stupid to Know That We're Not Stupid Enough to Believe Her

 
On October 30, 2008, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) wrote to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and offered to help it obtain money to help in its efforts to stem rising foreclosures.  On November 13, 2008, the FDIC signed a contract with CB Richard Ellis Group (CBRE) to sell foreclosed properties that the FDIC had inherited from failed banks.  On the first day of the new congress, Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation to route $25 billion to the FDIC, even though the FDIC is supposed to operate with money it receives from insurance payments made by banks and not taxpayer dollars.
 
The chairman of the board of CBRE is Richard Blum, Mr. Di Fi.  Surprise!  At about the same time that the contract was awarded, Mr. Di Fi's private investment firm reported that it and its related affiliates had purchased more than 10 million new shares in CBRE.  Those shares were purchased for $3.77 and are now worth $5.14.  A cool $13.7 million profit in five months.  Not bad. 
 
According to spokesmen for this cozy triad, there was no connection, no connection at all, between the legislation and the contract.  Further, Mr. and Mrs. Di Fi didn't even know about CBRE's business with the FDIC until after the contract was awarded. 
 
Yea right.  The chairman of the board of CBRE didn't know what CBRE was doing.  Mr. Blum didn't know what his own private investment firm was doing. 
 
Since people keep on electing her to office, is it any wonder that she thinks we'll buy this.

She Can't Possibly Be Serious. Can She?

 
Speaking before the Log Cabin Republicans' 2009 convention last Friday, former New Jersey Republican Governor Christine Todd Whitman said the following: 
 
"Well, I am somebody who believes in the separation of church and state and that the government, frankly, ought to be out of the business of marriage entirely.  It ought to be everybody - heterosexual, homosexual.  When you go down and register to get married, that's when the legal transfer of everything occurs and that's a legal recognition of a relationship - and if you want to get married in a church, a temple, whatever, and you find one, great!  Civil marriage, everybody". 
 
She went on to say that that part of the Republican Party platform entitled "Preserving Traditional Marriage" should be removed. 
 
How could a former governor be so incredibly ignorant.  If the government were "out of the business of marriage entirely", then there would be no laws of any kind governing marriage.  Gay marriage?  Okay.   Incestuous marriage?  Fine and dandy.  Polygamy?  The more the merrier.  By definition, "Civil marriage, everybody" would include all of these. 
 
I realize she was playing to the crowd (Log Cabin Republicans are the gay segment of the party), but to say something so patently absurd is more appropriate to a neophyte candidate and not a seasoned pol.  Obviously, Ms. Whitman is on the 2010 campaign trail.  Not an auspicious start.

A Tale of Two Tales

 
Tonight the Hallmark Hall of Fame will broadcast the story of Irena Sendler, a woman who risked her life to save 2,500 children from the Warshaw Ghetto during WWII.  She was a nurse, a non-Jew who wore the yellow Star of David so she could slip in and out without drawing attention to herself.  She smuggled the children out in suitcases and boxes.  She also kept meticulous records and tried to reunite the children with their parents after the war. 
 
Al Gore is a huckster extraordinaire.  He has been peddling his false story of anthropogenic global warming for years now, becoming extremely wealthy in the process, all the while living a life that puts a lie to everything he says he believes. 
 
In 2007, Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, beating out Irena Sendler who was also nominated.  What a farce.

"Let's be very honest about what this is about.  This is not about bashing democrats.   It's not about taxes.  They have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about.  They don't know their history at all.  It's about hating a black man in the White House.  This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks.  There is no way around that.Janeane Garofalo 

"The 'tea parties' being held today by groups of right-wing activists and fueled by Fox News Channel are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95% of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs.  It's despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt.  Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year.  Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama-bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians".  Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) 

What's despicable is a member of congress saying that it's despicable for Americans to avail themselves of their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble, especially when said by one from the dunghill of Illinois democrat politics whose husband went to prison for tax fraud. 

Oh, by the way, the reason nobody will "be taxed at a higher rate this year" is because the Bush tax cuts are still in place.  When they sunset and BO's tax increases are implemented, then and only then will we see if there is any truth to the statements that "95 percent of Americans" will get their taxes cut and "3.5 million jobs" are created. 

B. Hussein Obama for releasing sensitive intelligence memos on CIA interrogation methods because he wanted to move beyond "a dark and painful chapter in our history".  Yea, right.

And, if he really believed that "Nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past", why did he release this memo at the exact same time as the April 15 TEA parties if not to focus attention once again on the evil George Bush rather than his own considerable failings and the public response to them.
