Appeasement University (i.e. The Democratic Party)

Funny how President Bush mentioned "people" in his speech yesterday who want to appease terrorists and terrorist regimes, and the entire Democratic Party was (and still is) up in arms. Most thought he was referring to Barack Obama. I'm certain Barack is like the rest of the Elitist Leftists who think the world revolves around them... but someone who places such emphasis on oratory should know that "people" does not equal "one person" and thus President Bush couldn't have been talking exclusively about Barack Obama. And he wasn't. He was talking about those people who regurgitate the idea that we must sit down with evil regimes and terrorist states and hold their hands, talking softly to them to find out why they don't like us. Certainly if we talk to them, we can come to a solution and find common ground. YOU DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS AND YOU CAN'T FIND COMMON GROUND WITH EVIL DICTATORS OR SOCIOPATHS. But that doesn't matter to the "Blame America First" crowd who think the answers to the world's ills is to sit around a camp fire and sing Cumbayah.

The facts in the matter are two fold. First, President Bush was right. Second, he wasn't talking about Barack Obama. He was talking about Barack Obama (his stated policies), Nancy Pelosi (Syria trip), and Jimmy Carter (Hamas traitor) along with John Kerry, Most of the Democratic Party, a few RINOs, the United Nations General Assembly, some countries prior to the Iraq War (cough... France), Nevel Chamberlain, et all. Quite a few people fit that mold actually, and the President was referring to all of them. So you can quit crying so loudly Barack, it wasn't just you that George was picking on.

Funny, how when President Bush mentioned "people" he didn't make any remarks to infer he was talking about Obama... yet Obama was one of the first to whine that the President was attacking him and refute that he wouldn't talk with terrorists. But if the policy didn't fit you Barack, how did you know President Bush was referring to you? Ahhh... maybe the shoe fits afterall??

Mike Huckabee said there is a saying in Arkansas that goes something like this... "if you throw a stone over a fence, the dog that whines is the one that got hit." I'll put it a simpler way... "the one that smelt it dealt it" and Barack Obama, you stink.

For Barack and the rest of his party, we've created a special t-shirt just for you...

Flags over Faith?

Barack Obama's stance against wearing an American Flag lapel pin is pretty well known. It's not that he doesn't support America he says, but he doesn't want to use the flag for political gain or as a substitute for patriotism or the war. Symbols don't equate to actions, or so his theory goes, and it seems the flag means more than just wearing it on your lapel to make a statement.

So while he won't use the American Flag to advance his political career, he doesn't mind using the Cross, a symbol of Jesus and the Crucification to Christians. And that appalls me.


So basically, its ok to use Christ for political gain, but not the American flag? To all those people who gave Huckabee flack for the political ad with the supposed subliminal cross in the background... where are you now on this?

To me its pretty simple. Its ok to use the cross for political gain but not the flag if you are Barack Obama. Thus the cross is less important (or sacred) to Barack Obama than the flag, and we all know how little he likely feels about the flag (based on his wife's and pastor's comments). Just another example of political opportunism, hypocrisy and lies from Candidate Obama. So much for change.

Tornadoes Caused By Global Warming....

at least according to John Kerry. Nothing like using tragedy to promote your own agenda. Who needs facts when when you have unproven theory and scare-mongering fears of global annihilation.

Relatively, we haven't been recording weather events for all that long in our history. However, it would seem that devastating tornadoes have been around longer than automobiles, airplanes, aerosol cans, and 2-ply toilet paper have been threats to our environment.
  • On May 7, 1840, a tornado in Mississippi killed 317 people.
  • On February 19, 1884, over 60 tornadoes swept the South East killing at least 170 people.
  • On May 27, 1896, 305 people were killed, over 1000 injured, and over $10 million in property damage was caused by a tornado in the St. Louis area.
  • On March 23, 1913, tornadoes struck the east, north east, and west Iowa. The death toll in Omaha, Nebraska alone was 94 with 350 injured and over 600 homes lost.
  • On March 18, 1925, the "Tri-State Tornado" killed 747 people from Missouri and Tennessee to Indiana.

    (these and more historical tornado events at weather.com)

So unless these were all caused by Cow Flatulence, global warming is not the cause of devastating tornadoes. There have been many other horrible tornadoes besides the ones listed up through today. It happens, and its not a pleasant experience, but to use the death and destruction caused by a naturally occurring weather phenomenon to prop up your own agenda is dishonest and despicable.

See the quote at the end of the article
:
Kerry’s assertion tornado activity is related to any type of climate change is questionable based on the writings of at least one meteorologist. Roger Edwards, a meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Center in Norman, Okla., has doubts about any global warming and tornado relationship.

“As of this writing, no scientific studies solidly relate climatic global temperature trends to tornadoes,” Edwards wrote on the Earth & Sky Web site in April 2007. “I don’t expect any such results in the near future either, because tornadoes are too small, short–lived, hard to measure and count, and too dependent on day to day, even minute to minute weather conditions.”

John, here's an idea... keep your mouth shut and stop trying to be relevant. You're not. Its over. Time to Move On.

Oh, and I suppose the "Global Cooling" that we were supposedly threatened by in the 70s was responsible for the 1974 Super Outbreak of 148 tornadoes in 13 states that killed 315 people and caused over $600 million in damage.

I'm sorry that more than 50 people were killed and countless more lives were forever changed in the tornadoes on Tuesday. Any loss of life due is a sad and tragic event. But let's not stand on the shattered houses and the memories of those who were lost in order to advance an agenda that at the best is factually unproven and more likely completely false.

You Know What They Say About Making Assumptions...

Apparently Marie Lupe Cooley hadn't learned the lesson about assumptions yet. I bet she has now. (My commentary is in red)

When Marie Lupe Cooley, 41, of Jacksonville, Fla., saw a help-wanted ad in the newspaper for a position that looked suspiciously like her current job — and with her boss's phone number listed — she assumed she was about to be fired.

So, police say, she went to the architectural office where she works late Sunday night and erased 7 years' worth of drawings and blueprints, estimated to be worth $2.5 million.


Real Smart. You think you are about to be screwed by your boss, so you might as well screw him over first, right?

Police arrested Cooley Monday evening and charged her with causing greater than $1,000 damage to computer files, a felony. She was bailed out the following afternoon.

I want to know why she was bailed out. No job = no money for rent. No money for rent = no place to live. At least if she stayed in jail she would have a place to stay. Its not like anyone else is going to hire her now.

Hutchins [her boss] told one TV station he'd managed to recover all the files using an expensive data-recovery service.

Well, that's good. So other than an annoyance and unnecessary expense, she didn't really screw her boss afterall.

As for the job, Cooley originally wasn't in danger of losing it. The ad was for Hutchins' wife's company.

That's funny, but its not the best part. Read the last paragraph.

The firm told FOXNews.com that Cooley no longer is employed there.

You think?
