Obama Gets Precious Little Right.

I have to say, the speech Dear Leader gave last week to our school children marked a very hard right turn for President Obama. I have to say I was impressed with his words, even though I know in my heart that he doesn’t really believe in them. Seriously… work hard? Be personally responsible for your own actions? Who is this guy?

While I am on the subject of PBO saying the right thing… I found it hysterical that he called Kanye West a jackass. You know? Hell might just freeze over, because THAT I can whole heartedly agree with.

Double Standards

Amazing.  Press Secretary Robert Gibbs saw fit yesterday to warn, perhaps threaten, the opponents of President Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.  In various articles around the net he is quoted as saying ”be exceedingly careful” in just how they criticize Judge Sotomayor.

Really.

And just who should be careful?  Conservatives?  Men?  White people?

I find it exceedingly hypocritical that liberals are going so far out of the way to warn Republicans to tread lightly.  As I remember it, Democrats did not tread lightly when Alberto Gonzalez was nominated to be Attorney General.  They did not worry about the Hispanic vote.  Nor were they very concerned when in 2003 they were communicating among themselves about Miguel Estrada.  At that time, they thought that Miguel Estrada was being groomed to be a Supreme Court nominee.  They opposed him not because of his qualifications, but BECAUSE HE IS HISPANIC. 

But, we all know that Democrats know how to take a voting bloc for granted.  In fact, if anyone DARES to disagree with their socialist, classist, racist view of America, he or she are skewered publicly.  Lest we forget: Colin Powell was the first African American Secretary Of State.  Condoleezza Rice was the first female African American Secretary Of State.  Alberto Gonzalez was the first Hispanic Attorney General.  Were liberals careful about what they said about these people? No.  Let’s look a little further back in history.  Remember Clarance Thomas’ confirmation hearings?  Liberals didn’t care much about the black vote, then.

I personally am tired of liberals taking the votes of minorities for granted.  So long as a minority holds true to the idiotic ideals of liberals, they are gold.  A guy like me, a Hispanic conservative is crap to liberals.  If I were to run for public office, you’d better believe that liberals would waste no time throwing me to the wolves.  I only wish others could see the same things I do.

The Democrat “Big Tent”

So, in listening and watching the libs the past week, I have noticed just how tolerant and open minded they have been toward Arlen Specter.

It seems to me, that in all their tolerance and open-mindedness for differing opinions, they seem to have forgotten their own rhetoric.  They criticise Rush and other conservatives for celebrating the change, for wanting to rid ourselves of RINO’s like McCain and Powell, yet blast Senator Specter for saying “I never said I’d be a loyal Democrat” and for voting against Dear Leader’s budget.  Let’s not forget stripping him of his seniority.  This shouldn’t surprise us, however.  Remember how they treated Joe Lieberman after the election, they still give him a hard time for supporting McCain.  Let’s not forget the absolute skewering Miss California has taken for expressing her honest opinion during the Miss America Pagent.  Oh, btw, Perez Hilton: screw you.  Wait, nevermind.

None the less, it doesn’t surprise us.  We here know that the liberals, for all of their boasting, are only interested in power and control.  Power to dictate how much you can make.  Power to dictate how you make it.  Power to force you to join a union.  Power to control your thermostat.  Power to tell you what kind of car you can drive.  Ideals and principals mean nothing unless it means more power for them.

President Chimpy, Part II (Or, How Do You Do, Apu?)

So, after the fervent tongue lashings dealt by the left for the silly little cartoon allegedly depicting President Obama as the chimpanzee that had been shot, I was shocked to hear some of the comments made on liberal talk radio about Louisiana Governor Piyush “Bobby” Jindal this week.  Okay, not really.

Governor Jindal gave a nationally televised speech in response to President Obama’s speech the other night.  This was the Louisiana Governor’s first nationally televised speech.

Despite their best efforts, it seems that liberals have once again let their true colors shine through.  While lampooning his speech, they reverted to making several racially insensitive remarks about his ethnicity.  I heard comments about making phone calls to tech support and customer service, which many companies now forward to India.  I heard comments about food with lots of curry in it.  I heard comments about convenience stores.  I even heard one of the commentators call him ‘Apu,’ the stereotypical Indian character on the animated television series ‘The Simpsons.’

So, here we go again with the double standard.  No one can make any kind of racial jokes.  No one can make fun of someone else because of their skin color. No one can make fun of someone because of their sexual orientation. No one can say anything that can be even remotely construed as offensive.  That is, of course, unless the target of said satire happens to be a conservative republican.  Then that’s alright.

The left spends an awful lot of time lecturing us on racial sensitivity.  Any time we say anything remotely or even inadvertently offensive they accuse us of ‘hate speech.’  As I stated last week in my posting ‘President Chimpy?’, hate is hate, no matter who it is directed toward.  Wouldn’t it be nice if, in keeping with all of their rhetoric, liberals would at least have the decency to hold themselves to the same standard they expect the rest of us to live by?  Of course, the same could be said about liberals on a lot of subjects.  Not just race relations, but conservation, economics and all that other fun stuff?  Oh, that’s right.  ‘Leaders’ on the left and in left wing media are better than the rest of us.  The rules they expect the rest of us to live by don’t apply to them.

President Chimpy

Oh, the left wing has their collective panties in a knot this week over this one.  This comic strip depicts the scene which occurred this week where police officers were forced to shoot a chimpanzee that went, well, apes#!t.

The rub is that one of the police officers is captioned as saying ‘They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.’  As much as I would like to be able to say that this was more about congress than it was about the first black President, I cannot.  As a conservative who looks forward to the day when we can all live truly color blind; with true equality and respect instead of quotas and tiered testing, I find this comic disturbing and disgusting.  It is clear in my eyes as well as to anyone with any sense that the chimpanzee is meant to represent President Barack Obama. 

Regardless weather or not I agree with his politics or policies, I do not wish the man harm.  The images depicted here are completely and utterly unacceptable.  At no point should anyone find it within their frame of mind that depicting the shooting of the President of the United States is parody.  This really is not funny.

However, it seems that the left is living by a double standard this week… what else is new?  They seem to have forgotten the laughs they got at our former President’s expense.  They have forgotten the e-mails and websites dedicated to comparing President Bush to a chimpanzee.  The liberal commentators have forgotten how they referred to The President as ‘President Chimpy’  They have forgotten, in less than a month, the level of uncensored hatred that they freely expressed to anyone who could be bothered to listen, and many who couldn’t.  They have forgotten the many on their side who freely and openly called for Mr. Bush’s ASSASSINATION. But that was okay, because it was them, and their target was a white man.  Their target was a conservative.

In my eyes, hatred is hatred, without consideration as to the color of the target’s skin or political affiliation.  In a truly colorblind society, we don’t do this kind of thing even if the man were green with purple polka-dots.

So before those of you on the left go marching behind race baiters like Al Sharpton, remember all the bile and hatred you were spewing just 1 month ago.

Am I excusing what this comic did?  Absolutely not.  What I am doing is reminding those of you who are screaming the loudest about this that you are likely guilty of the same, if not worse.

Come Fly With Me!

I find it amazing, how after the beating the corporate CEO’s have been taking over private jets, that Our Dear Leader has now seen fit to jet around the country in a Boeing 747, at times, it seems, for no reason at all.

Last week, Barack Obama brought himself and his family to Chicago for Valentine’s weekend.  Then on Monday, he flies back to Washington, DC only to fly back to Denver today to sign away yours and my grandkids’ life’s work.  Isn’t this the same man who said that we can’t drive our SUV’s and keep our thermostats at 72 degrees and all that nonsense?

What a hypocrite!  Just how much jet fuel does a bird that size burn, anyway?  Can you imagine the carbon footprint?  What about global warming, Mr. President?  What about dwindling resources, Mr. President?  You talk about the need for everyone to sacrifice, I think you should be setting an example, and not spending EVEN MORE of our money trying to out-rockstar our last rockstar President Clinton.
