Dumbo on Wiki: Grab a mop, the Obama administration is leaking information like a thatch rook, in a gale. So do the Obami shut down the leakers? No the Obami order low-level government workers not to read the leaked documents. Evidently, the Obami don’;t object to the leaking of our state secrets,just as long as government workers don’t actually read them, from Fox News:
In a case of closing the barn door after the horses are out, federal employees are being warned not to look at documents leaked by WikiLeaks website, noting that despite their wide release, the hundreds of thousands of stolen papers are still classified by the U.S. government.
Bitch slapping Camelot, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend deems Sarah Palin wrong for challenging the Camelot myth Dear Kathy,there was no Camelot, either of the King Arthur or John F. Kennedy versions. Those who learn their history at the Kennedy clan dinner table, learn Kennedy myth, from Washington Post:
Palin writes that when she was growing up, she was taught that Kennedy’s speech had “succeeded in the best possible way: It reconciled public service and religion without compromising either.” Now, however, she says she has revisited the speech and changed her mind. She finds it “defensive . . . in tone and content” and is upset that Kennedy, rather than presenting a reconciliation of his private faith and his public role, had instead offered an “unequivocal divorce of the two.”
Palin’s argument seems to challenge a great American tradition, enshrined in the Constitution, stipulating that there be no religious test for public office. A careful reading of her book leads me to conclude that Palin wishes for precisely such a test. And she seems to think that she, and those who think like her, are qualified to judge who would pass and who would not.
The Constitution’s ban on a Religious Test for Office applies to the state, not to the individual voter. For the Constitution of the United States is a limited license given to the state by the public. The Constitution places no restriction on what criteria the individual voter my choose to apply. As such, the voter is free tp apply any test he alone my deem appropriate.
I find Kennedy clan politicians love to proclaim they are Catholic, but prefer to avoid actually being Catholic. Mz Townsend, how many cousins were butchered to spare your uncles the shame of Kennedy family bastard?
WASHINGTON (AP) â€” Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he’s more inclined to run for president in 2012 than not to make a bid.
No Newt, Bitsblog is inclined not to support Newt Gingrich, great idea man, but goes off the ranch too far, too often.

Slapping down the left, the leftosphere since the murder of Cristina Green and others have been trying to push the idea that hate some exclusive province of the right. There have been several notable rebuttals. However the tour de force is from Michelle:
COLUMBIA â€” U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in Congress, said Sunday the deadly shooting in Arizona should get the country thinking about what’s acceptable to say publicly and when people should keep their mouths shut.
Clyburn said he thinks vitriol in public discourse led to a 22-year-old suspect opening fire Saturday at an event Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords held for her constituents in Tucson, Ariz. Six people were killed and 14 others were injured, including Giffords.
If Clyburn is an honest man, and I am not alleging that he is, then Clyburn should hire a minder to watch over what he says. Clyburn is noted for have claimed to have the n word uttered at him, despite considerable evidence that it was never said and not evidence that it ever was. Now Clyburn is imagining some connection between political speech and murder of Christina Green and others.
Giffords was the target of Loughner’s rampage, prosecutors say, and the sworn affidavit accompanying the charges mentions that Loughner attended a Giffords “Congress in Your Corner” event in 2007. The affidavit also mentions that police searching a safe in Loughner’s home found a letter from Giffords’ office thanking the alleged shooter for attending an August 25, 2007 event.*
Tierney, who’s also 22, recalls Loughner complaining about a Giffords event he attended during that period. He’s unsure whether it was the same one mentioned in the chargesâ€”Loughner “might have gone to some other rallies,” he saysâ€”but Tierney notes it was a significant moment for Loughner: “He told me that she opened up the floor for questions and he asked a question. The question was, ‘What is government if words have no meaning?'”
As Congressman Clyburn can not seem to open his mouth without putting his foot into it, I humbly suggest that the Congressman can improve both the tone and the veracity of the nation’s political speech, by staying out of it. That is, if the Congressman can’t say thing that is accurate, then it would best if he said nothing at all.
This is the report that Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has been dreading since the tragic event on Saturday January 8.
The sheriff has been editorializing and politicizing the event since he took the podium to report on the incident. His blaming of radio personalities and bloggers is a pre-emptive strike because Mr. Dupnik knows this tragedy lays at his feet and his office. Six people died on his watch and he could have prevented it. He needs to step up and start apologizing to the families of the victims instead of spinning this event to serve his own political agenda.
Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When Pima County Sheriff’s Office was informed, his deputies assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County. Amy Loughner is a Natural Resource specialist for the Pima County Parks and Recreation. My sympathies and my heart goes out to her and the rest of Mr. Loughner’s family. This tragedy must be tearing them up inside wondering if they had done the right things in trying to manage Jared’s obvious mental instability.
Jared Loughner is deranged mental nut case. Not only did the Pima County sheriff’s department know about Loughner, the department actively protected Loughner. The murders of Christina Green and other was not the result of lax laws. Rather the murders results from the Pima County sheriff department failure to do their duty.
We won’t know for a while exactly why the gunman identified as Jared Lee Loughner, 22, shot 18 people, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and we may never know why. From the shards of maybe-evidence he left behind – to my knowledge it’s unconfirmed whether any of the MySpace, YouTube or Facebook posts being cited were created by the suspect – people can find reason to call him a right-wing nut-job or a left-wing fanatic. He supposedly railed against the government like Tea Partiers do, he was a gold-fanatic like Glenn Beck, but he also listed the Communist Manifesto as a favorite book on his alleged MySpace page.
Joan. would you feel any better about Loughner six murders in Tuscon if you just thought of them as very late term abortions. Walsh, 21 May last, Salon:
There were several witnesses to Tiller’s murder, and reportedly police even have the license plate of the car he drove away in, so it seems likely he’ll be caught. It’s safe to assume the killer was a so-called pro-life wingnut, because Tiller has been the victim of an organized crusade against his doing his job: providing abortion and other reproductive health services in Wichita. He was one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers. (A smart reader reminded me that Fox’s Bill O’Reilly crusaded against Tiller for years.)
I mean it not like you had some moral objection to the killing of innocent human beings. I could think of servral description for the late George Tiller. Victim would not e one. Butcher would.
When Navy Capt. Owen Honors was relieved of his command last week over raunchy videos he made and showed to his crew, thousands of people rushed to his defense, claiming political correctness had gone too far.
Others said Honors deserved his fate, despite a long and distinguished military record, but the issue raises questions: When does sexually explicit language or behavior rise to the level of harassment? Is it ever acceptable in the workplace? The answers are not always easy.
Honors, who was commander of the aircraft carrier USS. Enterprise, was relieved of his command over videos he made nearly five years ago, when he was the executive officer of the ship. The videos in question, apparently produced to boost morale in a combat theater, were part of pre-movie entertainment and included scenes of sailors showering; masturbation and sexist jokes; gays slurs; and a lot of cursing (particularly the “F bomb”).

There is a disturbing trends in Obama’s cult of personality, a trend started as far back as his first campaign for President. His use of the ol’ Red, White and Blue to evoke a sense patriotism along with personal logo. Unfortunately, more and more, his campaign has felt free to adopt imagery and slogan clearly copied wholesale from many of histories failed Marxist experiments.
I honestly have to wonder if he gets re-elected, if we can expect a bid to have his face on stamps and currency before the year is out. He clearly sees himself as this visionary, the revolutionary who will right the wrongs of capitalist excesses….as his forebearers attempted to do.

So, apparently, under the Obama Administration, it’s more important to placate xenophobic islamicist temper tantrums than the defend one of the foundational tenets of our political system and way of life known as “free speech.”

Is it just me, or does the political rhetoric and milquetoast responses we seem to be getting out of the current administration in response to current events unfolding in the Middle East seem almost like the responses of a battered spouse? An angry mob storms our embassy and desecrates our flag, and our embassador apologizes?
I can’t help but picture some drunk, ill-bred mouth breather in a sweat stained t-shirt who rolls in after a particularly bad bender and just lays into his poor wife, beating her and throwing her around. “WHY do you MAKE me DO this?!” he screams, with blow after blow. “You JUST. DON’T. LISTEN!!!!”
She cowers in a corner, covering her face, and sobs out, “I know, I know. I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I’ll try harder. I promise! Just…please…don’t hit me again.”
Time and again radical islamic terrorists attack our people, our facilities, our country’s honor, and “we” opt for a “measured response.” We don’t want to make them angry. We strike a conciliatory tone, hoping to “defuse” the tension and forestall another confrontation.
Which only ensures that there WILL be another confrontation, because, really, what’s to stop them? Time and again we prove that we won’t fight back, that we won’t respond with the kind of overwhelming, crushing force which would actually serve as a deterrent.
In other words, we act like a victim. Hoping to placate our attackers so they won’t hurt us. Or at least, won’t hurt us as often, maybe. Or, you know, as bad. If we just make sure to say the right things, to do the right things, to make sure we make his dinner just like he likes it, and don’t dare talk to him during his football game, because we know how angry he gets when we forget our place.
The always engaging Sobek has a brilliant post up over at Innocent Bystanders that pretty much says it all. Highly recommended reading!
I’ve found that there is so much going on in the world today, about which my own loud-mouth self will simply not shut up, and spamming my Facebook friends and relatives with partisan hooey may not always be the best course of action.
While I cannot guarantee how often I will be able to post anything, given the hurricane of activity my life is, and the festering pile of steaming excrement it may become shortly, I am going to fire this thing back up.
Hopefully I can regain a few of the readers I have so callously shunned over the last however the hell long it’s been; but regardless, there’s just too much angsty froth boiling up within me, and I’ve just gots to gives it some release.
