…what is frightening to consider is what kind of situation vis-a-vis Iran a new president will inherit in 2013 – or, God forbid, in 2017 – at the rate with which this man is demonstrating his incompetence and naivete.

At some point the Israelis will feel threatened and act on their own, the heck with what Obama will or will not do.

The question will be one of will the US allow overflight of Iraq by the Israeli strike force, or will Obama direct the US military to inform Iran of the approaching force. I wouldn’t doubt that Obama is so stupid as to not think that by helping Iran in this way he could curry some small amount of favor.

“Nobody move! I dropped me brain!”

“Those nukes? They’re not nuke nukes. Not a big deal, really. Iran’s paid the price to re-join the international society anyway.”

“Well, it’s Bush’s fault, we tried our hardest but, Bush has screwed things so badly, no one can succeed.”

Like everything with this crowd–they’ll just redefine success to mean whatever they want it to mean, declare victory and move on.

“If Barack Obama cannot convince the IOC to give Chicago the Olympics, how is he ever going to be able to convince Iran to give up its nukes?”

If this matter weren’t so deadly serious, our stumbling, bumbling, clueless, yet narcissistic and egomaniacal chief executive would be quite amusing to watch.

With cap and trade looming, liberals have long asserted that we must act unilaterally and show leadership. Even though cap and trade will put us at a competitive disadvantage with countries that don’t adopt cap and trade.

He is going to hurt US businesses, but thinks the American apology tour and his charm will somehow lead to China, India, Indonesia, Russia … to also adopt tough cap and trade restrictions. Bullcrap.

He cant persuade the IOC. How is he going to convince hostile countries to destroy their own economies???

I simply cannot see him enough. I wish he was on every hour of every day.
Then I would never watch TV again. I do not believe I have met or witnessed, in my 76 years, anyone more narcissistic than this poor impression of a leader.

This was not a narrow margin. This was not a nail-biter. This was a flat out rejection of Obama’s arrogant tactics by a group of people who certainly recognize thugs when they see them – even if it is only when they look in the mirror.

I don’t know. Perhaps they will redefine success in Afghanistan and get out for the sake of our troops. Why risk the lives of more troops by supporting a non-committal strategy?

He’ll just agree for Iran to transfer them to Venezuela and Cuba and a pack of submarines patrolling the Western Atlantic and Eastern Paciifc – not to mention some for Hamas and Hezbollah. And the media will proclaim this a great political victory for Obama.

Think I’m kidding – just wait and see…

What a shame the racketeering scum of the Chicago Machine won’t have this windfall to milk, LOL

And aren’t things going great since Valerie Jarret has been running the country?

“Blogger Erick Erickson, who runs the popular Red State site, vented sarcastically. “Hahahahaha. I thought the world would love us more now that Bush was gone. ”

and the world keeps getting to be a better place because of Erick…thank you sir!

A GREAT LT EDITOR BACK WHEN…

From a Letter To Editor in the Jackson, Ms Clarion-Ledger paper by J. W. Lawson of Jackson…at least 10 years ago:

“Because we favor life, we are to blame for the murder of an abortionist.
Because we own guns, we could be a blood-thirsty killer.
Because our houses are framed with wood and we drive a car, we abuse the environment.
Because we believe in God and the Bible, we are homophobic.
Because we think punishment of the guilty should be just and certain, we are not sensitive.

Because we think government should operate within its means, we have no sympathy for others.
Because we favor a strong and ready military, we are bullies looking for a fight.
Because we believe in the American dream and all it entails (see the Bill of Rights), that a given is needed before a gotten is had, that a man is a man, not white or black, we are racists and fascists.
Because we are conservative, our voices should not be heard or our words printed.

Your selected columnists tell us sin is not sin, crime is not crime, justice is not justice, life is not life, waste is not waste,
right is not right, wrong is not wrong, fair is not fair, liberty is not liberty, good is not good and evil is not evil…..

How about printing some real divergence of opinion on an equal basis? Are you up to it?”

He wants them to chuck one so he has a huge crisis so he can declare Marshall Law and stay in power for an unlimited amount of time…easy peezy.

I’ll give you all a good write up about it later, but it was a very positive experience. The MN GOP looks like it has finally gotten its head on straight and could be a model for other states.

Also, Marty Seifert won the Governor straw poll, and I am anxious to tell you all about what he has to bring to the table as a potential nominee and what our State’s choices mean in the grand scheme. ( Disclaimer, as of today I am firmly a Seifert supporter.)

Met some great folks and am very positive about the short term future of MN and the party here.

Here’s my submission:

Strike at the IRS!

(This thought was inspired by Greece, a nation whose central bank went on strike in 2008.)

Have fun and make me laugh!

See what happened. Iran tested long range missiles when the new site information came up.

This is from foxnews from today – http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,559581,00.html
—————————————
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad challenged that view in a speech Saturday, saying that Iran voluntarily revealed the facility to the IAEA in a letter on Sept. 21. He said that was one year earlier than necessary under the agency’s rules.

“The U.S. president made a big and historic mistake,” Iranian state TV quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. “Later it became clear that (his) information was wrong and that we had no secrecy.”

When Sarkozy seems to be tougher than POTUS, could it get worse? I don’t know why 0 did not bring this new site up in his UN speech. Was that to keep everything nice? Coming from a man who used far more crude language when talking about a Police Officer (Stoopid).

He can certainly Hope. Hope that isn’t worth a cup of coffee.

“[Action among the enemy] works best in a protracted war. Words become weapons, and ambiguities confuse the target people. They see no end to the fighting, no respite from the killing, and no positive gains as the result of battles and campaigns. They begin to question the motives which led to the war and then the truthfulness and competency of the leaders conducting it. Soon they question the morality of the war, and then the war becomes [an] excuse for surrender to the enemy.”

These words jumped off of the page as I read them this week.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

… that the Iranians are more inclined to act in their own best interests than the IOC. I wouldn’t count on it, though.

Just prior to the Iraq invasion George Bush was criticized by democrats and by UN western powers for unilateral intervention. As I recall Britain was our only close supporter. During the presidential campaign Barack Obama stated very clearly that if the UN felt so strongly about the war on terror then “let them send more troops.” Fast forward. President Obama is now basically saying that the United States will no longer lead in the war on terror nor against rogue states threatening world peace. We are now officially France and Spaini. The only difference is President Obama cannot easily withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq although he wants to. The UN is now rattled because they know that President Obama’s election is going to have backfiring results they didn’t expect. The end of the US counter balance and strongarm of the Security Council. Europe has taken for granted US power to keep stability. There is no intention of forcing Iran or N. Korea to give up nukes. Europe sees a growing instability by an aggressive Russia and an Iranian nuclear threat. Europe is nervous because they don’t want to lead and they know President Obama won’t. If this were 1961, Russia would have kept the nukes in Cuba and taken Western Berlin without any interference from the United States or Europe. We can only pray that either President Obama wakes up and reverses, or the world can survive without a major war until US voters wake up and elect a “peace through strength” president and congress.

re: Moe Lane’s Redhot “Charge of the Light Brigade”

Everyone on the ground knows it’s going to fail, but the powers that be continue to press on.

As a consumer of a recent project, I watched as those accountable continued to press on until they got fired. The option to acknowledge futility was there in the early to mid stages of the project. It was have cost some immediate capital to the director in charge, but almost surely it would not have been fatal.

A year and a fired director later, I just scratched my head. Was it that hard to admit it wasn’t working? Even when everyone knew the end result was going to be very bad?

Regret and human nature are working against the Dems.
