A Funding “Solution” For Democrats Concerned about Budget Cuts

Remember all that stuff we didn’t have to have in the New Hampshire budget before 2006 when the democrats started piling it up into what has become our Billion dollar budget deficit? I don’t either. I’m not even sure what they spent it on which is why I am convinced I can do without it. All this caterwauling is clearly just cover for keeping the bloated bureaucracy alive so they can milk it for union campaign contributions.

Is The Teenage Mother’s Life Really at Risk?

In the 20th century, deaths from complications of pregnancy have dropped from 850 per 100,000 pregnancies in 1900 all the way down to 7.5. That’s quite impressive. What has to annoy liberals is that most of that improvement occurred by 1982 and without unlimited access to “life saving abortions,” and without the state or federal pro-abortion democrats hindering parental consent before they were performed on minors.

PCOTD (Political Cartoon of The Day) 5-11-11

    Cartoonist: Mike Shelton   It seemed appropriate to take this in a slightly different direction.  So most of the future content posted as the Picture of the day will be more political in nature.  Introducing the PCOTD.  Political cartoon of the day. (With a side of commentary, optional.) Sharing is encouraged. "I think … Read more

Which Is Worse Or Is It Both?

It should come as no surprise to anyone that a guy (Mr. Obama) who sat in a church for years and years and insists he didn’t hear anything that he didn’t (presumably) want to hear, would be any different towards the American people?

Hillary Clinton Edited Out Of ‘Iconic’ Photo

Cats!

(First a Note: This is not the picture in question. It’s better)

That’s the Yahoo! News headline. Hillary Edited Out of Iconic Photo.   Though I’m not particularly concerned about that.  I’m more interested in the media narrative about a staged photo.  The word iconic keeps popping up as an adjective to describe this "piece of…history." 

Well, Iconic is defined by dictionary dot com as…

-Adj,

1.  relating to, resembling, or having the character of an icon.

2.  (of memorial sculptures, esp those depicting athletes of ancient Greece) having a fixed conventional style.

OK. Not much to work with there. How about Icon then?

— n
1. Also: ikon  a representation of Christ, the Virgin Mary, or a saint, esp one painted in oil on a wooden panel, depicted in a traditional Byzantine style and venerated in the Eastern Church
2. an image, picture, representation, etc
3. a person or thing regarded as a symbol of a belief, nation, community, or cultural movement
4. a person regarded as a sex symbol or as a symbol of the latest fashion trends
5. a pictorial representation of a facility available on a computer system, that enables the facility to be activated by means of a screen cursor rather than by a textual instruction

Which of these five do you think the media is shooting for?

Given the direction of public education, I think we will have to amalgamate these into a common perception.  Something that fits the modern, western, collective unconscious, or in this case the media narrative about the current administration.  Iconic implies a historical moment of great importance destined to define our nation and it’s leaders (so -depicted) for generations to come.  Think- Sputnik moment!

Well lets work with that.

Follow The Big Blue Bread Crumbs

Democrats are hypocrites. Need more proof, just look to Obama care, and the billions it has handed out to big business, Big Union business in particular Yes, a union is a huge business, one that donates tens of millions to democrats.

Elvis, Osama bin Laden, and Jim Morrison Walk Into A Baskin Robbins….

ElvisAs a rule, the lefts interest in photographs of the dead are limited to political hits on opponents, or moody propaganda pieces for the anointed one. (Obama honors war dead–look, see–pictures.)  So can releasing the pictures of an ex-Osama provide some political advantage today? 

I feel comfortable stating right out front that I don’t think they’ll show us any pictures unless Obama looks as if he’ll lose in 2012.   They will make excuses and hem and haw, to intentionally create another conspiracy theory; that Osama is being held on the same sound stage where we faked the moon landing–or…something like that. 

And they will do it because the political distraction of pictures unseen, and a death unconfirmed, dragged out for months or years, has the potential to create a "deather" movement that can be used to distract the American people from a larger problem; high unemployment, rising inflation, and the return of stagflation and the misery index.  At least in theory.  Mr. Obama does need all the misdirection he can get, and any situation that pits his word against that of others, where no hard evidence exists to refute him, fuels the mission statement and puts meat on the bones of the narrative; his detractors are a bunch of wacky racists looking for a reason to smear Dear Leader.

So a photograph, like a birth certificate which exists but that has only been confirmed by reputable sources, is the perfect foil for the legions of cynics who realize that most everything that comes from the mouths of this Executive branch are more like the words of Satan; if not outright lies, they are half truths riddled with omissions, and always with a shelf life.  No "body," hidden pictures…even the most pragmatic person will feel inclined towards doubt.

Bin Laden is dead & Liberals Are Being…Hypocrites–Surprise!

Flip flop!They make it easy, and Bin Laden is no different.  Their hypocrisy emanates from them like the stench of stale sweat. So it is impossible to give them any credit because we all know that the only reason Osama’s death was made public late on a Monday night was because someone probably leaked it; this Executive branch does nothing without first plotting out the political ramifications and optimizing the benefits; it’s why it often takes them days to respond to any event.

So Osama is dead.  Go team.  But will we stay the course to get the rest fo them?  Probably not.  So what better time than now to remind ourselves about the hypocrisy; and we look no further than MoveOn.org (H/T to Ace of Spades) and the democrats who ran adds attacking Republicans for politicizing 9/11 and Bin Laden.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ — A new TV ad attacks Republican attempts to use the fifth anniversary of 9/11 to resuscitate the President’s popularity and help Republicans hang on to control of Congress.

MoveOn.org Political Action’s thirty second spot is planned to begin airing nationwide on cable this week. The ad buy is $100,000.

The ad, "Exploiting 9/11," reminds Americans of the now discredited claims and promises made by the President and Republican leaders in Congress about the connection between 9/11 and Sadaam Hussein; the capture of Osama bin Laden; and making the country safer by invading Iraq

Who want’s to put money on the left buying ad time to use Bin Laden and 9/11 to "resuscitate the presidents popularity"–now that president is Obama? Will there be cries of outrage–yes, but only for those of us who dare point out the contradictions.

BIN LADEN’S DEMISE IN FOCUS

The news of Bin Laden’s demise was barely minutes old before the politicizing began in earnest. In the hours that followed, Barbara Walters on the view retorts, “I would hate now to be a Republican candidate thinking of running,” Like this somehow cancels out the high gas prices, the economy being in the toilet and … Read more

Concord Monitor’s Editorial Shell Games

“For a moment, at least, a nation united” the headline informs in the Concord Monitor. The monitor editorial continues on reflecting on the losses born out of 9/11, on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq and how our lives have changed since, all of which is very stoic and reflective.  But leave it to those … Read more

Er, no

Marginalizing -> Not until retired… I may not be a fan of "The Donald", I might not vote for him in the primary, but you have to admit, he got the job done on the birth certificate issue.   There is no more "Hope & Change" – people are going to judge Obama on his … Read more
