Say It Ain’t So, Joe Biden!
There’s been an ugly rumor floating around Washington for a while now, namely that Vice President Joe Biden is a drunk.
Not to make light of the serious disease that is alcoholism but, if true, it would explain quite a bit about his antics and gaffes during last year’s campaign and since he assumed the vice presidency in January.
Of course his boss, Barack Obama, is D.C.’s resident Gaffe King. That’s not a result of being tipsy but because he’s just Obama.
He is so reliant on his crutch, Mr. Teleprompter, that without it he tends to say stupid things such as claiming he had campaigned “in all 57 states” and being unable to speculate on the moment of conception because it “was above my pay grade.”
Post-election his most famous, and insensitive, goof was ridiculing Special Olympians on Leno.
Not that any of the gaffe twins’ numerous examples of foot-in-mouth disease get any significant play in the mass media, except for the Leno remark which was made on national television.
If covered at all, their flubs and screw ups are soon buried, never to see the light of publicity again, whereas George Bush’s numerous misspeaks still are prime fodder.
Biden is no slacker in the blooper department, either.
Don’t expect to see them on NBC, CNN, et al., but two videos featuring good ol’ Joe have come to light which give credence to his having an issue with “the drink,” as his Irish ancestors would say.
They offer explanation for his often rambling dissertations, solecisms, flubs, and outright improprieties.
The first Biden video, . . .

And, They're Off!
And, They’re Off!
The title isn’t a reference to the Derby or the Preakness or the Belmont Stakes. It’s a reference to the annual Festival of Nativity Naysayers, aka the Feast of Christmas Humbuggers, aka the Holiday When Liberals Dump on Christians.
We’ve barely reached the pagan festival of Halloween but, never known as people who missed a chance to bash Christian beliefs, the Left is already up in arms over a 63-year Christmas tradition in Warren, Michigan.
They’re trying to ban the return of a creche scene to a public site where it has stood every year since 1945.
Perhaps emboldened by President Obama’s outrageous declaration that America is not a Christian nation and well aware it could never accomplish its goals by public referendum, the atheistic Freedom From Religion Foundation has filed suit in federal court to banish the creche.
The foundation’s basis? Why, the non-existent constitutional clause mandating a strict separation of church and state, of course.
John Satawa’s dad built and installed the creche. . .

Obama's Islamic Video
An Obama-Islamic Video
When George W. Bush proclaimed during the 2000 presidential campaign that Jesus Christ was his “favorite philosopher,” he was roundly chastised by America’s left wingers for intruding religion into politics.
Bush would also as a matter of course end his speeches with, “May God continue to bless the United States,” another horrific violation of the leftist-inspired, false issue of separation of church and state.
All Thomas Jefferson meant when he wrote of a “wall of separation” in an 1802 letter was that this nation would and should never have an official state religion. We had escaped the state Church of England by our revolution and weren’t about to re-establish a national religion.
In the interests of full disclosure, I’m not a big fan of our current president, for sundry reasons, as regular visitors to this site would know. I have also questioned his religion.
I caught a lot of flak last year from friend and foe alike for suggesting the man wasn’t all he seemed. We all know appearances can be deceiving and Obama was always careful to present a pleasant facade.
In order to win the presidency, he had to appear non-threatening, a proverbial man of the people, open to all ideas, open to all races and religions.
With the aid and abettance of the MSM, he deftly skirted all negative issues and questionable associations with committed domestic terrorists such as his good buddy Bill Ayers and committed racist America-haters such as his pastor and moral compass, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Along the way in his campaign of deception and since his election, the gaffe-prone Obama has let slip though his opaque facade some very telling commentary, slipped probably when his trusty teleprompter wasn’t guiding his words. . .

Nancy Pelosi, Queen of OHI
Nancy Pelosi, Queen of OHI
When Lincoln concluded the Gettysburg Address with the stirring words, “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom–and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” he could never have envisioned Nancy Pelosi.
We still have a nation even if God has been banished from the public forum and we still have some freedoms left despite efforts by Congress and the president to deny them.
However, Abe’s dream that our government would always be of, by, and for the people took another shot to the solar plexus in Washington today.
Nancy Pelosi’s health care bill, is a monstrosity in every sense of the word. . . .

The U.N., a Boil on the Arse of America
The U.N., a Boil on the Arse of America
We should have known at the inception of the United Nations when the U.S.S.R. was accorded three separate votes in the General Assembly that the whole idea was a bad deal for the United States.
We should have known but we didn’t, or else we did know and bought into the deal anyway because, ostensibly, it was all in the interests of a lasting world peace, aka, pie in the sky.
Then, too, convicted Soviet spy, Alger Hiss, helped establish the structure of the U.N. However, that was before the Cold War with the Soviet Union so his machinations must have been motivated by the purest and most patriotic intentions.
The fact that the world hasn’t had any real peace since the U.N. entered the geopolitcal picture still hasn’t resonated with many Americans and the fact that nothing the U.N. has ever done has favored American interests. We still pour money and precious military resources into that cesspool.
The U.N. has been and will continue to be the proverbial teats on a bull while posing as mankind’s savior and American suckers will continue to subsidize that sad excuse for a deliberative, international body.
Far worse, the rotting building on New York City’s East River and its thousands of rotten, resident delegates and functionaries represent the most insidious, dangerous force we have ever faced.
Too many books and articles, including any number of articles in this space, have been written on the fraud that is the United Nations to beat that dead horse so let’s just focus on one of its most recent foray into diplomacy.
US Drones May Be Tantamount to Summary Executions: Of all institutions, the U.N. should be the last to speak of drones but this week U.N. Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions Philip Alston did just that.
With that ostentatious title, I guess Mr. Alston feels he’s entitled to address any issue he damned well pleases. . . .

Dem Damned Lies, Deceptions, and Dolts
Dem Damned Lies, Deceptions, and Dolts
This mess of Democrats in control of our government has come near to perfecting the fine art of political obfuscation and nervy prevarication.
Whether it’s the president who now says that, “Gee, when I said that my Obamacare proposals never incorporated funding for aborting the pre-born, I didn’t really mean that Obamacare wouldn’t incorporate such funding,” or other deceptions, it’s transparent that this ilk has gone to the top of the Prevarication Charts.
Seriously, now, they are absolutely superb at twisting the truth, that is unless, ala Bill Clinton, everyone else is lying but they are telling the god’s-honest truth.
For example, “Rep. Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.) told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama told him in a telephone conversation that when he said in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress that ‘under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions’ he was not talking about the actual bill drafted in the House but about the president’s own health care plan—which has never been written.”
Huh?
“I don’t know if it is a game of semantics or what,” Stupak said of Obama’s nationally-televised declaration to Congress that the health-care plan will not allow federal funding of abortion:” http://bit.ly/11fnaq.
Rep. Stupak, it’s not semantics. It’s baldfaced lying, a political technique developed into an art form by Barack Obama and his acolytes and predicated on the assumption that the American people are dolts.
All Stupak wants is a floor vote on an amendment prohibiting abortion funding in Obamacare, a transparent, democratic procedure to determine specifically where House members stand. Speaker-wannabe Steny Hoyer has now tried to placate Stupak with more mealy-mouthed, vague promises of compromise: http://bit.ly/4dy7iw
Then along comes the Queen of Deceptive Prevarication, House Speaker Nancy Patricia D’Alesssandro Pelosi, who feigned ignorance–or was it feigned?– . . .

Jesse Dirkhising Would be 23
For those not familiar with the name Jesse Dirkhising, that’s no surprise. He was never a media favorite like Matthew Shepard even though the two met similar fates.
The chief differences are that Jesse was a child of 13. Matthew was a young man of 21. Jesse’s vicious murder was committed by two pedophiles, sadistic animals who also tortured and repeatedly raped him. Matthew was killed by 2 drugged up drunks in a robbery.
Oh, there was another difference: Jesse was a totally innocent, heterosexual victim and Matthew, a homosexual, was picked up in a Wyoming tavern before he was robbed, beaten, and left to die tied to a frozen fencepost.
Both were horrendous crimes but for some inexplicable reason, we now have a hate crime law commemorating the life of Matthew Shepard, a man, and only a tombstone to remember Jesse Dirkhising, a child.
Why the disparity in recognition?
Ask the mainstream media which chose either to treat Jesse’s horrific murder as a mere random aberration–which it wasn’t–or chose to ignore it altogether, and to honor Matthew as a cause celebre’ because he is some kind of hero–which he wasn’t.
Rumor has it . . .
