In an otherwise fantastic article about immigration Robert Samuelson stumbles at the finish line.
Grasping this, our leading politicians engage in a consensual censorship to skip issues that involve distasteful choices or that require deferred gratification. They prefer to assign blame and promise benefits. So elections come and go, there are winners and losers — and our problems fester. RealClearPolitics - Articles - Campaign 2008: The Sounds of Silence
There is a group of folks who are supposed to prevent this sort of collusion. Rush calls them the Drive By Media for a reason though. Reporters covering both candidates should be hammering them on this crucial issue. Smoke them out and make them take stands. Instead we have a bunch of folks who by and large seem to be rooting for whomever they might be covering and because of this they almost have a stake in “their” candidate winning.
Sickening as it may be, it is an indication of just how shallow we have become as a people. We are getting both the press and the politicians we deserve…
So then Osama/Obama says that he is sorry that he did that deal with Rezko…hmm one thing for sure Osama/Obama sure has a propensity to throw long time supporters under the bus. Which to me means that he must have a quid pro quo with them. They take the fall gracefully, for the most part we all know that Wright doesn’t know the meaning of gracefully, and he bails them out of whatever trouble they are in once he becomes President. Sounds like a very dangerous man.
Rezko Guilty on 16 Counts Accused Political Fixer Has Ties to Barack Obama
A federal jury in Chicago Wednesday found Antoin “Tony” Rezko guilty on 16 of 24 counts.
The jury’s deliberations on the fate of the 52-year-old Chicago developer and political fixer stretched over 13 days, as they weighed the evidence and testimony on whether and how Rezko had illegally trafficked in access to politicians and political favors.
Rezko’s ties to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. have created image problems for the White House hopeful. Rezko, a longtime friend and supporter of Obama’s, raised tens of thousands of dollars for his campaigns, much of which Obama has since returned. ABC News: Rezko Guilty on 16 Counts
The NRO Corner lost it’s way a long time ago. When the Corner united against Coulter’s remarks after 9/11 one had to worry that in the Corner we didn’t have actual conservatives but folks who make money playing one.
But I don’t understand the pile on at The Corner.
McCain gave a serious talk that centered on the war, and especially on the point that if Obama had been in charge, we’d have lost by now and incredible chaos and perhaps genocide would be unfolding in that country. McCain also noted what he should refer to in every speech from now until November: Obama wants to sit down with dictators who would eat his lunch.Townhall.com::Blog
Typical, it takes a French woman to stand up to the Islamic tribes overrunning France.
PARIS — Brigitte Bardot was convicted Tuesday of provoking discrimination and racial hatred for writing that Muslims are destroying France.
A Paris court also handed down a $23,325 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner. The court also ordered Bardot to pay $1,555 in damages to MRAP.
Bardot’s lawyer, Francois-Xavier Kelidjian, said he would talk to her about the possibility of an appeal. FOXNews.com - Brigitte Bardot Convicted of Provoking Discrimination - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment
What a great idea it was to import North Africa into France! Hey maybe we can think of something along those lines…like say import the entire poor population from a certain absolutely corrupt country to the south of us. Hey more GREAT NEWS! Republicans have already started doing that! WOW!
Make possible for immigrants to do a job Americans won’t do
Things are terrible, and we’ve got to fix it. But we’re not going to fix it until we have comprehensive immigration reform. When there’s a demand, there’s going to be a supply. There are jobs that Americans will not do, so we have to make it possible for someone to come to this country to do a job that an American won’t do and then go back to the country from where they came.

Boy cannot wait till McCain gets into office. Yea I am voting for the bastard…he is a less bad bastard than the other bastard. What a choice to have in the greatest country in the world. We either get a loony old man who is perhaps dumber than Bush or a Black Marxist who hates white folks. GREAT NEWS!
Tigerhawk explains the correct way to look at energy and our use of it. I only want to add that if you are a liar you tend to view everyone else as liars. If you are a thief you tend to view others as thieves. Since the left makes it’s living as thieves of the labor of others it colors their entire world view. We will never convince them that there might be other explanations for wealth. They simply cannot conceive that wealth is created by working for it, it is so much easier to steal it. You can spot them in schools because they are the ones cheating.
But most peoples of the world (including American leftists) do not understand this — which is why they do not invent anything important — and instead view American wealth as if it were looted, rather than created. Hey, if I thought America was rich from theft rather than creativity, I’d feel guilty too. TigerHawk

Great article on why I have not sent any money to the Republicans this cycle. I don’t trust them. Course John Hawkins article over at Townhall is a bit broader in focus than little ole me but hey, enough about me, what do you thing about me!
However, there is one overriding problem that dwarfs all the others, a problem that few people in the leadership of the Republican Party seem to have come to grips with. That problem is that conservatives, who are the heart and soul of the Republican Party, no longer believe that the GOP has their best interests at heart.

Ignorant and stupid…
(CNN) — A teenager pleaded guilty Friday to a federal hate crime of threatening and intimidating civil rights marchers near Jena, Louisiana, last year by displaying hangman’s nooses from the back of a pickup truck.
A photo taken by I-Reporter Casanova Love shows a noose hanging from a pickup in Alexandria, Louisiana.

Ignorant and stupid…
“It just came to me within the past few weeks, y’all, why so many folks are hating on Barack Obama. He doesn’t fit the model. He ain’t white, he ain’t rich, and he ain’t privileged. Hillary fits the mold. Europeans fit the mold, Giuliani fits the mold. Rich white men fit the mold. Hillary never had a cab whiz past her and not pick her up because her skin was the wrong colour. Hillary never had to worry about being pulled over in her car as a black man driving in the wrong… I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it. Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home, Barack was. Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had her people defined as non-persons.”
One goes to jail, the other one goes to the White House if his man wins. Hmm…methinks that might just beget more of the first sort of ignorant and stupid behavior.
Course maybe I am just ignorant and stupid. Maybe we have already gone past the point where we can rein it back in. After all did you read about the Wichita Massacre? I think it is pretty damn insulting to law abiding black folks that dumb white folks buried this story.

Glenn Reynolds is probably one of the most valuable resources in the Blogsphere…but every now and again he checks out and comes up with something loony. We should expect it since he is after all a member of a class of people whose grip on reality sometimes slips…alot. Witness this “piece” that Glenn points us to this morning. Glenn bestows the coveted “read the whole thing” link to a piece so badly argued that I will be forever questioning the abilities of lawyers coming from the University of Penn.

Little Tyrants Upset Over Debate
Liberal outrage over the ABC News debate last night is at a fever pitch, with a familiar call to arms going out across the land — shutting down free speech is a common wish of these free thinkers: Perfunction: Little Tyrants Upset Over Debate
Here is a tasty morsel from a brilliant post.
Daily Kos (yesterday)
President Barack should pull their [ABC’s] Broadcasting License.
Code Pink (2005):
Clear Channel wants a new 8-year license to control our public airwaves, promote war, and use our music against us…Pull the plug on corporate radio and tell the FCC to hold Clear Channel accountable, or revoke their broadcast license.
It is coming…beware of your vote this fall. It might be the last informed vote held in these United States. This is not the time to allow these radical Democrats into power. Let us vote for the decidedly untasty McCain. With the obvious failure of the left to gain a win in a supposedly impossible to lose year perhaps the Democrats will purge themselves of the undemocratic forces within their party. The Democrats have managed to push up the only two Democrats that would lose to McCain.
Live Leak had to pull this video because:
“Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers. This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one. Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture. We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.” Brennan
Apparently Google still had it up and I was able to get an English Copy. This video needs to go viral…which it has. But we all need to post it. A point is being made that the Muslims who get upset need to understand. Freedom of speech is paramount to freedom itself. We may not like what we say about each other but we better not force the other guy to shut up.

So yesterday we claimed that we mistakenly delivered empty nuclear missile nose cones.
WASHINGTON, March 25, 2008 - The U.S. military has regained control of four non-nuclear nose cone assemblies for a Minuteman missile mistakenly sent to Taiwan in 2006, Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne said during a news conference here today.
Today we claimed that the empty nose cones were actually the nuclear missile fuses for intercontinental ballistic missiles. Weeee!
The U.S. military’s mistaken delivery to Taiwan of electrical fuses for an intercontinental ballistic missile has raised concerns over U.S.-China relations. It has also triggered a broad investigation into the security of Pentagon weapons. Bush Calls Fuse Delivery a Mistake
Will tomorrow bring the news that we were actually smuggling an entire missile into Taiwan a piece at a time. Will someone please stand up and take control of the weapons before the kids blow us all up?
In case you have forgotten the kids “lost” 5 nuclear weapons last year when they went joyriding around the country attached to the bottom of a B-52. Ooops. Guess the crew just figured those things attached to their wings were brand new hood ornaments for their bomber?
Hey I am all for protesting the Chinese Government for their general thuggishness but how about we ramp it up a bit faster than sending nuclear weapons into Taiwan a piece at a time? Oh hell how do you make fun of idiocy this monumental?
This sort of crap has been happening a lot lately. Remember the Nuclear Weapons that went on a “joyride” around the country affixed to a B-52? I covered that story in a longish article regarding the state of our nuclear weapons.

What is simply pitiful about these facts is that until we address them as a society we will never correct the issue and blacks will continue living in the most dangerous sorts of conditions in this country. Blacks are 7 times more likely to die of murder. Let that settle in the next time you are feeling a little bit antsy in a situation. The violence in some of the neighborhoods is beyond our comprehension. But folks like Obama will never fix it, since they will spend their time worrying about the wrong problem. Like a doctor who allows you to die of a heart failure while he cures your ingrown toenail.
Anyway go check this terrific article on American Thinker!
Senator Barack Obama said in his memoir, The Audacity of Hope, “The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact.” Yet he also claimed that to fear a black person on the street more than a white person is a racial “stereotype”, “bred” into us.
To the contrary, such a fear is actually “grounded in reason and fact.” When the numbers are crunched, a black person is almost six times more likely than a white person to be a murderer.Senator Barack Obama in his Race Speech said his white grandmother “once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street”. In a follow-up interview he clarified that remark by saying,
American Thinker: Typical White Fact-Based Reasoning
The left, bless their black little hearts, have never thought much of middle classes. That opinion underlies all of their philosophy. Indeed it is appealing, is it not, to consider that you are smarter than everyone you know, backseat drivers unite!…course the sane among us realize otherwise. The left, the mother of all backseat drivers.
Matter of fact the left has believed that you can indeed fool all of the people all of the time. Aren’t they cute? And who is cuter than the cutest of them all Barak Hussein Obama? Lookee here where Obama actually has the audacity to imagine that us rubes won’t know that “progressive” is just another word for really far left moonbat? In this interview he claims he is NOT a liberal…he is a progressive. Hmm…my mama didn’t raise no fool Hussein.
He said he was a progressive and a pragmatist, eager to tackle the big issues like health care and convinced that the Democrats could rally independents and disaffected Republicans to their agenda. Obama’s promise of a new majority, and the question it prompts - International Herald Tribune
But Obama is even funnier than that if you consider the attempted con job he has been trying to pull on the rest of the country. Consider his oh so heralded speech on race, which was actually an attempt to keep the Right Reverend Wright’s lunatics on board while giving willing fools a reason to believe that Obama really isn’t a white hating lunatic himself…no matter what he says about his Grandmother. He really thinks you are a dumbshit…ain’t that cute. Those leftists with their coincidental relationships with reality! Thank goodness that the Democrats are buying into this classic demagogues bullshit. Had they run a centrist candidate not out on the lunatic fringes they might have actually won the Presidency this year. Hell even Lieberman would have crushed McCain. You go girls.

Hmm is this what Obama is tapping into with his pastor? This is pretty deep seated anger.
Tennis is a prejudice game. Well, I’m Black and I’m prejudiced, very prejudiced. I’ll be always prejudiced as the White man. The White man hated me all my life and I hate him. That’s no secret. I’m not even an American, it just so happens that I was born in America. People are prejudiced in tennis. I don’t think Venus or Serena was ever accepted by tennis. They never will be. But if you get some little White no good trasher in America like Tracy Austin or Chris Evert who cannot hit the ball, they will claim this is great. Richard Williams Calls Tennis Racist … Again - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog
Are we supposed to sanction this sort of outburst? Is my white guilt supposed to have me cringing about the righteousness of his outburst?

After all if Obama was white he would have been laughed out of the house for making up that much baloney to excuse his alliance with the Right Reverend Wright. Obama made an alliance with this clown to “reach” out and gather street cred to make a run for office back in the day. Because back in the day the Right Reverend Wright was not as radical as he is now. And besides if he was radical and is radical now whose fault is it??? Well it’s white man’s fault and the way to heal that is for the white man to understand that we are to blame and we need to PAY. I am guessing that won’t play very well with in the fly over states. May not play well with all the blue dogs either. Oh baby please let Obama win the nomination. If we lose to that collection of leftist cliche’s we deserve anything that happens.
Here is John Derbyshire on the supposed need to tip toe around Osama/Obama.
I don’t get the sensitivity and slack-cutting towards Obama that Charles Murray’s post typified. Obama’s the enemy � a far-left Democrat. We should be attacking him at every weak point. That’s politics.
A pro-Obama emailer whines to me that the Pastor Wright business is “a Swift Boating of Obama.” Well, duh! The Corner on National Review Online

Just this week we found out in this post that the Oceans were not warming, indeed there was a slight cooling (you might think that would get mentioned now and again) going on. Now we find out that a satellite we sent up in 2002 is turning over many of the premises scientists thought they knew about our climate models. And not only that but other signs indicate that our temperatures have not gone up for the last ten years that indeed again ther
