The “You had to have been there” Thursday Open Thread.


Except that I *was* there, and I *still* do not understand why the Other Side went, well, nuts like this.

Hey, remember this? I still want this in black velvet:

Although, these days, I figure that I could probably get the original cheap.

Very, very cheap.

Open thread.

Even if these Obama-worshippers are so oblivious as to depict their new god in such a tacky way, you’d hope they’d be self-aware enough of their own limited talents as to not have the end result look like Obama is about to snatch the microphone from Taylor Swift.

I’ll bet dollars to donuts our humble but lovable Dictator In Training Pants™ had no clue this was going on, or he’d probably have stopped it cold, lest we offend anyone’s sensibilities or distract from some serious scientific achievement

Either that, or he knows his poll numbers are lower than whale poop in the Marianas Trench and he made the call – in which case, the press conference should happen in 5…. 4…. 3….

Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children Save The Day (As It Should Be).

U.S. Marines early Thursday boarded and took control of a German-owned commercial vessel that had been attacked and captured by pirates, in what appeared to be the first American-led military boarding of its kind amid the recent surge in piracy along the east coast of Africa.

It reportedly took the Marines an hour to subdue the pirates and retake the ship, the M/V Magellan Star, which had been attacked early Sept. 8. The nine captured pirates remain on the Magellan Star awaiting transfer. No shots were reported fired as Marines overtook the pirates, and no injuries or casualties were reported.

==========

Those ‘nine captured pirates’ (read that as Muslim Terrorists) should be shot up with sodium pentathol, then shot up with questions, then shot up with….. High crime on the open seas and all that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know…… We’re better than that….. We’re Americans.

Obama’s America-the paucity of hope

Have you seen recent pictures of him lately? He

throwback59 Thursday, September 9th at 9:42PM EST (link)

ain’t so pretty anymore. He’s got more gray hair than, well, me, and I got 5 years on him.

And the gray hair isn't from his worry about the safety and security of America and its people,.

but rather concern for his legacy and what people think about Obama.

If The GOP Can Get WV & CT Seriously 'In Play'...

IJB Thursday, September 9th at 2:20PM EST (link)

…That would mean 12 currently Dem-held seats would be ‘in play’, 2 more than need for control.

If the GOP can get OR and NY-B in play as well, that’d get them to 14 Dem seats ‘in play’.

If they win all of the first 12, the Senate would be 53R-45D-2I.

If they could run all 14(!) (improbable, but who knows!…) that could actually get them to 55R-43D-2I!!

Just sayin’…

…and I will take care of you and ensure that youl win your elections.

Our new term will be “Obamacrats” because you believe in ALL that I do. Together we will build a U.S. that is Sharia and Socialsit compliant first, and full Communist second.

Our platform to get there is to futher increase socialized medicine, do another trillion dollar stimulous for the unions and to increase taxes on rich (who create jobs) and raise taxes on the middle class (to give more money to the unions.) We will also continue our war on all business in America and work our hardest to destroy the U.S. Constituion. These are platforms to win with.

I say to you Obamacrats, just keep supporting me and keep supporting these platforms and we will win.

We are Obamacrats.

Three presidents there who all, to differing degrees, put Obama to shame

RedBeard Thursday, September 9th at 3:35PM EST (link)

If we’re supposed to think that Bush is asking for guidance, I have no problem with Lincoln and Washington offering it. And if they are trying to guide Bush without his asking, also fine. If we’re supposed to think all three are praying to a higher power, then again no problem. In any of those scenarios, Bush appears humble, something quite impossible for our current Dear Leader.

Or, if I’m rambling on too much, forget what I said above and just note the absence of unicorns and halos. ;-)

I actually looked on ebay for the “Obama spurting out roses” print on black velvet, to no avail.

However, there is plenty of bad Obama art for sale — with absolutely no bidders.

Here’s a gem (what is the thing with him and unicorns, btw?):

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

 

Open thread: Obama said on Monday,

Flagstaff (Diary) Friday, September 10th at 12:00AM EST (link)

“…we should not hold middle class tax cuts hostage any longer…. ”

So, why is he holding them hostage until the Republicans give up tax cuts for EVERYBODY?

And why does “fair and balanced” Fox News agree with his characterization of extending all the Bush tax rates as “giving $700 billion in tax cuts ‘to folks who are already millionaires’”?

If keeping rates low is a good idea at all, why shouldn’t we just do it permanently?

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964

 

Judges gone wild

Kyle-MI (Diary) Friday, September 10th at 12:16AM EST (link)

We have recent judicial activist rulings against the Arizona immigration law and for a constitution right to gay marriage. Just today we got hit with a double whammy of judicial activism. First a judge in PA used the flawed Obama reasoning against AZ to strike down a local ordinance against illegal immigration. And now they finally found a worthless piece of garbage for a judge to strike down the don’t ask don’t tell policy in the military.

The judiciary is getting out of hand. Something needs to be implemented to not just clear out these outrageous rulings, but to pull these judges. They have gone too far. They need to be out of any job that even comes close to the judiciary. There needs to be a mechanism to reign them in and scare the dickens out of like minded activists judges before they would even think about similar out of bound rulings.
