Hope and Change (Rapture Edition)

Preacher moves rapture to October 21st?
At least he didn’t sign an executive order on the matter. That could have been really embarrassing.
Either way this guy could be president. How many recovery summers are we up to now?
It’ll happen. Any day now.

A Gun Runnning Message In a Bottle

ATF and Holder, and all the rest of the cranks, insist it was to track the guns to the bad guys. But given the way democrats feel about gun rights you have to wonder if they had other motives. “Finding” American guns in the hands of drug cartels plays right into their rhetoric.

Stephen Colbert’s Campaign Finance Lesson

“Why does it get so complicated to do this? I mean, this is page after page of legalese,” Mr. Colbert lamented. “All I’m trying to do is affect the 2012 election. It’s not like I’m trying to install iTunes.”

Right To Work Override

If Exxon Mobile demanded $50.00 per month from all its employees, every month, to pay for benefits and it’s political action agenda, the left would shit kittens, protest, and then engage in well funded, partisan series of lawsuits until the company was forbidden from using that money for political activity.

Is John Edwards a Scumbag?

It should have been rhetorical but after Tweeting John Edwards latest declaration of Ass-hattedness to Twitter and Facebook about an alleged John Edwards sex tape, I was asked jokingly:

"Is John Edwards and alleged Scumbag or is it confirmed he is a Scumbag. Don’t want you to cross any legal lines."

Great question. When exactly does an ambulance chasing trial lawyer turned professional lying-cheat, rat-bastard, who had an affair on his cancer-stricken wife, making a sex tape with his videographer who had his love child, cross the line to scumbag?

That’s not a hard question to answer even if we can’t agree that he started on the other side of the line. But why is allowing his mistress to create a sex tape she never destroyed her fault? You don’t make sex tapes with politicians unless you either want to blackmail them or you want to spice up the act; does anyone actually watch these after they make them, or do they just wait until they get stolen and show up on the internet? And if you are a politician and you let someone make a sex tape–when you are married and running for President? Well….who is the idiot in this scenario? Was it not dumb enough just to cheat on your sick wife while on campaign, or dumber to then allow someone to make a record of it?

I can’t give an unbiased answer for several reasons  but mostly because I think he always was a scum bag.  So I figured I’d give some of the folks who were willing to ignore the fact that he was an ambulance chasing trial lawyer turned professional lying-cheat, rat-bastard, and supported his goal to to be President, an opportunity to answer the question for us.  To that end I have included an October 2007 list of Graniteroots town chairs for Edwards I found over at NH Insider.   If anyone can tell us when or if he has crossed the line to ‘scumbag’ they can.

The list is on the jump.

Or we can ask Tim Horrigan, also an Edwards fan at least in Jan of 2008, who is the one Democrat I know of most likely to read this post.

So find a name and take a survey.  Let us know if Edwards is officially a scumbag across the ideological spectrum or…will the democrats now elevate him to Clintonesque stature?  Sex scandal, perjury, a southern lilt, lying dirt-bag; that’s presidential material for left wingers.  This could be a tough one.

The Missiles of Venezuela

missile.jpgOriginally reported last November by Germany’s Die Welt, but just recently resurrected by The Drudge Report from the Jerusalem Post, Iran–the Islamic regime that has been waging war on the United States since 1979–is building intermediate range missile launch pads in Venezuela.

Yes, the same Iran that prior to 2005 traded nothing with Hugo Chavez but which has since increased its trade with the socialist nut job to the tune of 40 billion.  There is good reason to speculate that this has or will include nuclear technology.  His goal being to expand control in the region by intimidating neighbors, I’m sorry–by offering mob style "protection" from the evil Americans.

So we’d have an America hating socialist nut job with intermediate range Iranian missiles and a working relationship with a country (Iran) that the current administration has suggested is going to get nuclear weapons anyway?  Venezuela is already suspected of having Hezbollah training camps in its jungles.  The Iranian Military is hanging with the Chavez.  This presents no risk?  Or maybe the economy isn’t the only thing Obama plans to screw up while in office?

Note to the White House.  Israel will not be bombing our problems away in Venezuela.  And I’m certain they have no expectation that we’ll back them up with anything other than wordy statements when they do what has to be done to survive. So don;t count on them to help you out here.

So the next question; can :Obama the bold, courageous, and decisive" actually be any of those things when it comes to the Missiles of Venezuela?  Can the guy who accepts books from the same dictator who is prepared to represent a significant risk to American interests in the hemisphere–including interests in America, step up and take them out before they are operational?  Or does the major troublemaker and regional king maker in Venezuela have a right to intermediate range weapons capable of carrying nuclear warheads, and the ongoing training and assistance of Iran’s Qods force?
