Mythbusting the “Birthers are racists” meme

As per usual, the mainstream media and left-blogosphere are saying the issue of Obama’s constitutional qualification to be President is all about race. Hogwash.

Our struggle is against the spiritual forces of evil.

Quick to anger

By Chrissy the Hyphenated

1 Corinthians 13:4-6 – Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Can we all spell “part of his effort to accumulate more power”?

If he talked this plainly all the time, I could almost like him. I’d still disagree with his politics, but at least I wouldn’t need to grab for the TUMS every time I saw his face.

Bearing the burden

By Chrissy the Disgusted and Surly

Embiggen if you must.

Back in 2006, Dems said they were the only ones holding the line on Bush’s irresponsible spending.

Now they’re the Party of the Recently Wised Up, Newly Humble and Superlatively Brave!

From Obama’s April 14, 2011 interview with George Stephanopoulos [plus my snarky commentary in red]:

GS: You’ve got to extend the debt limit by May. It seems you made your job a lot tougher because of your vote in the Senate against extending the debt limit. When did you realize that vote was a mistake?

BHO: I think that it’s important to understand the vantage point of a Senator versus the vantage point of a President. … As President, you start realizing, “You know what?  We can’t play around with this stuff. This is the full faith in credit of the United States.”

Sooooooo … the People of Illinois elected a dumb, self-centered boy-child to one of the highest offices in the land? Golly. Aren’t we LUCKY that he didn’t stay stuck in that stuffy, vantage-point-limiting job of United States Senator, but became PRESIDENT, so he could finally see The Big Picture and get all smart about this Really Important Economy Stuff?

BHO: And so that was just a example of a new Senator,  you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country.  And I’m the first one to acknowledge it.

Sooooooo … 5 years ago (and 20 minutes before he decided he was ready to hold the Most Powerful Office on the Planet), he was nothing more than a self-centered, wet-behind-the-ears, iggerant freshman Senator.  NOW, of course, what with all his vantage point experience Running the World these past two years, he’s become not only Smarter Than God, but also Humble. Golly.

BHO: Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. … The burden is going to fall a lot on Democrats in the Senate to make this happen.

Soooooo … yeah. When Republicans were in the majority, Democrats played politics rather than lead. We knew that. BUT it just gives me GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER to know that now, by GUM, they’re all wiser and better and Ready to Lead … no doubt because there’s a Spiritually Enlightened Being in the White House and the oceans are slowing their rise and America is finally the Kinder, Gentler Nation (never mind that third war). Should we cue some stirring music now?

Pretending to Care

By Chrissy the Sarcastically Underwhelmed Military Mom

Please do not embiggen graphic if you are eating, have eaten recently or plan to eat in the future.

April 12, 2011: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden launched “Joining Forces” to “shine a light on a national problem and seek public-private partner ships to find solutions.”

SEEK?  There are loads of these programs around, programs that have been up and running long enough that my kids who served in the (bad) Bush Wars got to benefit from them.

Yes, it’ll be nice if MEchelle and Dr. Jill can drag some reluctant libbies in to help out the kids who are now serving in the (good) Obama Wars.

But methinks they’re the type to drop out again five seconds after the spotlight turns off, a Republican is elected to office, or Democrats kill off charitable tax deductions to “punish the rich” … whichever comes first.

President Obama said, “I want every military family to know, Michelle hears you.”

Oh phew. Cuz we were like really worrrrried about that. It’s right on the list after “Does God hear my prayers?”

Mrs. Obama said, “This is a challenge to every segment of American society not to simply say thank you but to mobilize, take action and make a real commitment to supporting our military families.”

No, you arrogant bitch,  ma’am. This is not a “challenge to EVERY segment of American society.”  Maybe Lefties need to wise up, but the rest of us are already thanking AND doing a lot of other stuff.

And while we’re on the topic, why don’t you tell Lefties to start thanking soldiers … you know, instead of sneering, insulting and spitting at them. Oh, and if they could also stop keying military-stickered cars in the parking lots, that would be good too. The repair bills are killer.

After the “Joining Forces” launch, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden headed off for a “We’re here to pretend we suddenly care about the families of those didn’t-do-their-homework-gun-totin’-Republican-votin’ enlistees” media blitz.

They’re also going to get their pictures taken with celebrities as they tour through … what a surprise (NOT) … three of the swing states that are critical to the Obama 2012 re-election bid.

And oh how super duper is it that celebs like OPRAH are jumping on board, making appearances and commercials for the Families of Our Brave Men and Women in Uniform!

Be still my heart.  Wait … no that’s heart BURN. I need an Alka Seltzer.

These same individuals wouldn’t have been caught DEAD supporting the military when Bushitler was running his Eeeevil Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But sigh … isn’t it positively miraculous how His O’liness not only blessed those (bad) Bush Wars and turned them into the (good) Obama Wars, but also added a WHOLE NEW WAR?! Does that take leadership or what?!

And isn’t it simply fantastalicious how, in the Name of Obama, these Celebrity Patriots are tolerantly and open-mindedly rethinking their deeply held “all-wars-are-bad” philosophies and lending their glittery famousness to supporting Obamas Troops?

It just chokes me up. Well … it chokes me anyway. Especially the part about MEchelle glomming on to programs that have been in place for years and claiming them for her “Joining Forces” effort as if they were All About Her.

At the “Joining Forces” launch event, MEchelle wore a salmon skirt suit. The inimitable Newsbird described it thus:

“How conservative! How tight!  How ill fitting! How rippled around the hips!! How it stands out in a crowd! How it stands out to highlight the backside! Knees covered is good!  Jacket button sewn in with 250 lbs fish line!”

Eliot Spitzer Creepily Exploits Military Family’s Financial Troubles for Political Gain

http://www.mrc.org/biasalert/2011/20110411053858.aspx

If you’re not familiar with Spitzer, he is the disgraced former Governor of New York who, true-to-Leftist-form, has been rehabilitated and returned to the spotlight as a CNN political analyst.

CSB @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2476179450056011884goHTou

If Leftists practiced the same tolerance for Right-wing pols, I’d maybe buy into their claim that “only what they do on the job matters” to them. But I still remember the outraged Left’s lynching of Judge Clarence Thomas for maybe or maybe not having made “sexually provocative statements” to an employee who continued to work for him in not one, but two different jobs.

Somehow, it was only when Thomas, a strict constructionist, was headed for SCOTUS, that this faithful employee suddenly morphed into the Left’s Favorite Sexual Assault Victim of the Century. How amazing that, just a few years later, a semen stain a naive young intern got on her blue dress while kneeling on the Oval Office rug was evidence of no more than one teensy weensy, inconsequential, very PERSONAL failing of a beloved Left-wing president.

But I digress. This was supposed to be about how suddenly the Left gives a crap about the military.

I don’t remember any Leftist concern for military families last year when the All Democrat All The Time Federal Government was SUPPOSED to be writing and passing THIS YEAR’S budget. How dare they try and blame the threat of government shut-down on Republicans who weren’t even in office then!

For the 2006 and 2008 elections, Leftists paraded rows and rows of dead soldier photos past us and featured weepy Gold Star moms and widows on the nightly news. Soldiers are still dying in our not one, not two, but THREE wars. Seen any dead photos lately? How about Code PINK’s favorite Gold Star mom, Cindy Sheehan? Me neither.

Then there was General Betray Us. Remember that? MoveOn.org kept their vile trash posted right up until His O’liness, the Messiah, put the good general in charge of Afghanistan. Then, whoopsie, that Big Famous ad they were So Proud Of was alllll gooone.

Now that Republicans have a majority in the House and are TRYING to rein in run-away Dem spending before the economy gets any worse, the Left is back to using the popularity of the military among decent Americans to score political points for their Socialist agenda. What a bunch of bloviating phonies.

THEY did this to us …

CSB @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2610746420056011884vLnRzy

And speaking of bloated phonies … does anyone find the IRONY in Michelle Obama’s latest project?

http://www.whitehouse.gov/joiningforces/

I mean … it was HER husband who SAID that if Congress didn’t arrive at an agreement before the government shut down, he was NOT going to make an exception for military pay!

I remember when Democrats had the majority in Congress under Bush, they refused to allocate funds to those soldiers who were under fire. And I will not soon forget La Clinton’s bellicose lies about how the eeevil Bushitler had fooled her into believing the Iraq War was necessary.

CSB @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2791218150056011884JwtKgz

It never ceases to amaze how the Left managed to simultaneously believe their mutually exclusive memes that Bush was somehow both too stupid to put together a sentence and wily enough to pull the wool over the eyes of all the Smarter Than God Leftists like Clinton who voted for the war.

Never mind how it still makes me break out in a rash when I think about how they crucified Bush and Cheney as blood-thirsty, evil, blood-for-oil maniacs, when both of them honestly and deeply cared about our military men and women.

Both of THEM routinely visited with wounded soldiers … without cameras. Remember when Campaign Obama was scheduled to go visit a military hospital, then canceled at the last minute when they wouldn’t let his “people” (cameras) inside with him?

And where’s MEchelle been for the past two years? Not that any military wives I know wanted to have to make nicey-nice to her, but she did say early on that “supporting military families” would be a “top priority” for her as First Lady.

CSB @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2205124080056011884MlMBHP

I have always thought MEchelle’s switch to childhood obesity had more to do with the liberal media than anything.

CSB @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2014158560056011884KmdjQz

She’s deeply committed to healthy eating? Really?

Budget Deal Details – Abortion funding, PP, Obamacare

By Chrissy the Hyphenated

Excerpts from LifeNews report
@ http://www.lifenews.com/2011/04/08/budget-deal-nets-dc-abortion-funding-ban-planned-parenthood-vote/

The budget deal restores language that prohibits federal taxpayer funding of abortions in the nation’s capital that President Barack Obama and Democrats removed in a previous budget when they controlled both chambers of Congress. Congress had a ban on taxpayer funding for abortions in D.C. from 1996-2009. When Democrats got control of the House, the Senate and the Oval, they lifted the ban. The National Right to Life Committee says that, prior to the ban, public funds paid for more than 4,000 abortions a year in the nation’s capital.

The budget deal requires the Senate to vote on a bill the House Republicans already approved to repeal the pro-abortion Obamacare bill that contains abortion funding and rationing concerns and on revoking funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Both votes will force Senators coming up for re-election in 2012 to go on record about where they stand on abortion and on Obamacare.

The Senate vote on funding PP will also give pro-life advocates an opportunity to testify to all the ways PP doesn’t protect women’s health, has covered up cases of sexual abuse, and has used $363 million in annual federal funding to prop up a business that now does more than one-quarter of all abortions in the nation.
