"Hello, Muddah, Hello, Fadder" Becomes "Hello, Parent One, Hello, Parent Two," Etc

"Hello, Muddah, Hello, Fadder" Becomes "Hello, Parent One, Hello, Parent Two," Etc.

If the late comedian Allan Sherman went to Camp Grenada today, he could still write home to his “muddah” and “fadder” but if he went overseas his passport wouldn’t refer to his mother and father but rather to his ”Parent One” and “Parent Two.”

Such is the state of things in Obamaland 2011.

It’s all very explicable, however. “A statement on the State Department website noted: ‘These improvements [sic] are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.”

State Dept. spokesman spokeswoman spokesperson Brenda Sprague hastened to clear up any misconceptions over the change saying that, “the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness,” as if any fool would think that!

“We find, Sprague said, ”that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago.”

Or even two years ago, pre-Obama.

Understandably, although there has been no Islamic reaction, conservative Christians are repulsed at the change and ”Gay rights groups are applauding the decision:” http://tiny.cc/bfv7p No comments have yet been made public by other liberal groups. Animal rights advocates who have long felt that orangutans, et al. were people, too, and vegetation rights advocates who favor full rights of citizenship for plants and shrubs have remained silent.

Ridiculous? Absurd? Nuts? What, that animal rights and vegetation silliness or the Obama State Department silliness, and VERY PC passport change? Or, all of the above?

Our Obamian State Department may have earned the Absurdity of the Month Award but there are other contenders hot on its tail.

Inspired, motivated, and pressured by the same agitators who won that passport gender neutrality change, the most powerful agitators in America, the homosexual lobby, agitated in the former “Live Free or Die” state of New Hampshire. Its new motto may some day become, ”Free Sex But No Candy for You!" . . .

The Case for Canning Clinton

The Case for Canning Clinton

So the title, “The Case for Canning Clinton,” does not refer to Bubba but rather to his blushing bride, presidential-ever-hopeful, now Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, laughably America’s top diplomat.

The former commodity maven who miraculously, artfully, turned a pittance of a thousand bucks into a $100,000. windfall within a year due to her speculative expertise in cattle futures, the same Hillary who, even more miraculously, said she was named after the famed Mount Everest explorer, Sir Edmund Hillary, even though she was a gleam in her daddy’s eye about 5 years before Edmund set foot on the mountain, may finally have met her Waterloo, her long overdue comeppance, thanks to WikiLeaks.

See “The WikiTsunami,” http://tiny.cc/wxv51

The case for canning Secretary of State Clinton is a simple, straightforward one and comes to us directly from the U.S. State Department website which spells out her general mission and which Hillary surely had a hand in composing.

Hillary’s own page on that site defines her duties: ”The Secretary carries out the President’s foreign policies through the State Department and the Foreign Service of the United States.”

The website, (Hillary?), further states, “[T]his work starts at home, where we have rejected the false choice between our security and our values. It continues around the world, where human rights are always on our diplomatic and development agendas, even with nations on whose cooperation we depend for a wide range of issues. . . A lot has been said about our 21st century statecraft and our e-diplomacy, but we really believe that it’s an important additional tool for us to utilize.”

Sounding even more Hillary-esque, it goes on to say, “We must use what has been called “smart power”: the full range of tools at our disposal–diplomatic, economic, military, political, legal, and cultural–picking the right tool, or combination of tools, for each situation. With smart power, diplomacy will be the vanguard of foreign policy:” http://tiny.cc/p2x62

And there you have it folks, the State Department’s cogent delineation of the bases for the removal from office of the Secretary of State: an abject failure to fulfill her assigned mission.

Thanks to the revelations of Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks, it is clear that Clinton arrogantly rejected both “our security and our values,” she incompetently misused and failed to use “the full range of tools at our disposal–diplomatic, economic, military, political, legal, and cultural,” and she obviously picked the wrong tool and “combination of tools.”

In brief, since diplomats, even inept diplomats, love their briefs, Hillary Clinton authorized, ordered, our diplomats and our foreign embassies to spy on other world diplomats and even to look for dirt on U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Prostituting our worldwide diplomatic corps might better describe what Secretary Clinton mandated.

Not content to spy on enemies, . . .
