It’s Thursday, November 13th, 2014…but before we begin, our apologies for the extended period of radio silence. What was first intended as a brief respite to recharge our reactionary batteries was rapidly overcome by work-related events, resulting in a longer-than-anticipated leave of absence.
Then again, in view of the utter ass-whipping America delivered the Dimocrats November 4th, anything we might have added would have been superfluous.
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, the great Thomas Sowell explains that while America just dodged a very large-caliber, bat-eared bullet, the fight is far from over:
“…People who are increasingly questioning Barack Obama’s competence are continuing to ignore the alternative possibility that his fundamental values and imperatives are different from theirs. You cannot tell whether someone is failing or succeeding without knowing what they are trying to do.
When Obama made a brief public statement about Americans being beheaded by terrorists, and then went on out to play golf, that was seen as a sign of political ineptness, rather than a stark revelation of what kind of man he is, underneath the smooth image and lofty rhetoric…”
In other words, a…
…and a lying, traitorous Communist at that!
And as The Hill‘s Tim Devaney notes, courtesy of the WSJ, it’s obvious our Marxist-in-Chief has no intention of going gently into that good night:
“Business groups are bracing for an onslaught of regulations, with the Obama administration bent on completing a host of the president’s unfinished policy goals and the midterm elections now in the rearview mirror.
Agencies across federal government are expected to drop a host of major rules over the next few months, with regulations running the gamut from calorie label requirements on restaurant menus to new rules for hydraulic fracturing and air pollution. There are roughly two dozen major rules that are scheduled to drop between now and late January, according to a review of the administration’s official regulatory agenda and rules now awaiting approval at the White House.“
Since we’re on the subject of the nation’s only President ever to promote policies altogether anantithetical to America’s interests, and that continually, FOX News details the latest act of treason perpetrated by The Great Prevaricator:
“I know there’s one born every minute, but HE takes the CAKE!”
“President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that the U.S. has set a new goal to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by between 26 percent and 28 percent over the next 11 years as part of a climate change agreement with China.
The new target is a drastic increase from earlier in Obama’s presidency, when he pledged to cut emissions by 17 percent by 2020. By contrast, Obama’s counterpart, Xi Jinping, did not pledge any reductions by a specific date, but rather set a target for China’s emissions to peak by 2030, or earlier if possible. Xi also pledged to increase the share of energy that China will derive from sources other than fossil fuels. China’s emissions have grown in recent years due to the building of new coal plants.
“This is a major milestone in the U.S.-China relationship,” Obama told a news conference in Beijing, with Xi at his side. “It shows what’s possible when we work together on an urgent global challenge.”…”
No…all it shows is Barry’s a complete buffoon…or the quintessential Manchurian candidate. Put us down for the latter.
The WSJ terms it The Obamao’s…
“The climate-change campaign against fossil fuels has been having a hard time with democracy. Voters in the U.S. support fracking and the Keystone XL pipeline, Australia repealed its carbon tax, and frustration with green energy costs is rising across Europe. So perhaps it’s not surprising that President Obama has turned to a dictatorship for help with his anticarbon ambitions.
In that sense, the emissions accord sealed Tuesday night between the U.S. and China is a perfect reflection of the mindset of Western climate-change activists. Cheap and abundant energy is popular among Americans because it raises living standards and helps the economy grow.
The romance of the fresh princelings of Beijing is that they needn’t abide such barriers to enlightened governance as elections, a free press, transparency, the rule of law and two political parties. They can simply order economic transformation in the next five-year plan, and censor any dissenters as Al Gore wants to do in the U.S. Thus in China Mr. Obama has found the ideal climate-change partner: A technocratic elite that can instruct the bourgeoisie how they must light their homes and commute to work…”
Further proof why we’ve long been of the opinion…
Meanwhile, seeking to further cripple U.S. economic growth isn’t the only way Barry’s attempting to sell out our nation’s security; as the Washington Examiner reports…
“When dealing with the Soviets and their nuclear aggression, President Ronald Reagan famously cited an old Russian proverb: “Trust, but verify.”
In his current dealings with Iran and its nuclear ambitions, President Obama seems to be forgetting about that second part. He is asking Americans to trust a negotiating adversary who keeps trying to remind the world that it remains the same bad actor it was during the 1979 hostage crisis.
Nearly a year into the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran, it becomes more and more apparent that the American people are watching a bad deal unfold as it gets hatched in their name. Several new and alarming hints have emerged in just the last few days that should make everyone suspicious…”
Which is another way of saying…
Speaking of lying Liberals (as if they come in any other variety), James Taranto comments on the inevitable reaction to their rare moments of candor:
““In less than a year Jonathan Gruber has gone from being cited [by Obama administration supporters] as an outstanding expert on health reform modeling to being downplayed as ‘a private citizen’ who misspoke,” notes Breitbart.com’s John Sexton. The evidence Sexton cites is striking…”
By the way, if you’re as offended by the good doctor’s overweening arrogance, we encourage you to contact him directly…
…and let him know exactly how you feel!
Then there’s this bit of hopeless Liberal naivete:
National Cathedral to Host First Muslim Prayer
Washington National Cathedral is hosting a Muslim prayer service for the first time on Friday. Planners say they hope Friday’s service at the historic cathedral will foster more understanding and acceptance between Christians and Muslims around the world.
The prominent Episcopal cathedral often hosts national events, such as presidential funerals, and has hosted Muslims at various interfaith services in the past. But planners say this is the first time the cathedral has invited Muslims to lead their own prayers there, which they call a “powerful symbolic gesture.”
Planners say the prayer service developed after the cathedral’s liturgical director met South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool while planning the national memorial service for Nelson Mandela. In a statement, Rasool says, “This is a dramatic moment in the world and in Muslim-Christian relations.”
“Powerful”…”dramatic”? Not hardly. At least, not nearly as dramatic as the moment…
…Iran finally gets…
…the ObamaBomb. Assuming of course, Israel permits it.
And in today’s installment of the “Be Careful What You Wish For” segment, here’s one, if you’ll pardon the pun, for the books, courtesy of Carl Polizzi and the Puffington Host:
“…The details: A Christian group received permission to distribute Bibles and other religious materials to their students, leading atheist groups to appeal for an equal opportunity. It wasn’t long before the Satanic community hopped on board as well…”
Then again, should this really surprise us? Is it not the inevitable result of the influence of Leftists so blinded by political correctness they’d cancel Christmas?!?
Turning to the Lighter Side…
Finally, a few you may have missed while we were away but well worth your time:
