Waffles and Uncle Joe actually went GOLFING right after the speech. But what the hey.
The Secretary of State went yachting while Egypt burned and his U.N. Ambassador missed an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Syria because she was at a comedy film festival in Ireland.
President Bush’s last round of golf was October 13, 2003. As much as he loved the game, he said,
“I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf.”
Obama admitted publicly that U.S. intelligence has concluded the Syrian government used chemical WMDs on civilians last week.
Obama plans to ignore the fact that he couldn’t get U.N. approval for an attack on Syria, because Russia opposes it.
The Navy has moved a second aircraft carrier into the Gulf.
Obama said the White House will brief top congressional leaders this afternoon about Obama’s plans for a possible military strike.
Democrat and Republican members of Congress reminded Obama that just consulting with or informing Congress is not good enough to make military action legal.
Under the provisions of the War Powers Resolution (WPR), the President is required to notify Congress within 48 hours of the onset of US military involvement. They then have 60 days to get formal authorization from Congress and if they fail to do so must cease operations within 30 days.
Obama is unlikely to give a crap what Congress thinks or the Constitution says. In 2011, he ordered American warplanes into action over Libya without seeking authorization from Congress before or after.
The New York Times, the usual leakhole of Obama Inc, quoted officials describing a limited one or two day campaign that would degrade Assad’s ability to launch chemical weapons, without forcing him out of power. That might be true, but then again no less a figure than Barack H. Obama had promised that the Libyan intervention would last “days, not weeks”. It lasted months, not weeks, let alone days.
Meanwhile, Obama reportedly told several mayors that he would by-pass Congress to get more gun control.
If I had a dollar for every time liberals let their hypocrisy shine through, I could pay off the national debt.
SecState Kerry is making a great argument for the Bush invasion of Iraq. The Leftie Media is helping:
The New York Slime published op-ed – “Bomb Syria, Even if It Is Illegal” – August 27, 2013.
Politico‘s take is that we obviously have to go to war in Syria, cuz otherwise it might make Obama look bad.
Tweets on Syria by iowahawk:
Global warming has apparently wiped out the Puff-Chested North American War Protester.
So is getting congressional approval for war still a thing?
Remember when Bush was called a “chicken hawk” because he had only served in the Air National Guard? Good times, good times.
Sen. Joe Biden: Iran & Impeachment [2:04]
December 14, 2007: Sen. Joe Biden threatens to initiate impeachment if President Bush acts militarily against Iran without congressional authorization.
August 12, 2013: A Scandal Bigger Than Benghazi? By Arnold Ahlert
The unanswered and troubling questions surrounding the deadly attack on SEAL Team 6.
In a story that has remained largely under the mainstream media radar, Congress announced late last month that it would finally investigate the Aug. 6, 2011 helicopter crash in Afghanistan that resulted in 38 deaths, including 22 members of SEAL Team 6, made famous three months earlier when they killed Osama Bin Laden. Grieving family members insist that soldiers in the elite unit were placed in unnecessary danger by the recklessness of the Obama administration, whose actions they characterized as criminal. …
“As soon as Joe Biden announced that it was a SEAL Team who took out Bin Laden, within 24 hours, my son called me and I rarely ever heard him sound afraid in his adult life…. He said, ‘Mom, you need to wipe your social media clean…your life is in danger, our lives are in danger, so clean it up right now.'”
August 14, 2012: The Lying Liars in the Obama Administration
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) told a town hall group that 2 days after the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton screamed at a member of Congress for suggesting it had been a terrorist attack. Now, of course, we know that the administration knew while it was happening that it was a terrorist attack and just made up all that crap about the YouTube video.
Matthew 25:41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels’.”
Next time you feel overwhelmed by the lies and corruption of the Left, remind yourself of how Obama and Biden looked when their gun grab failed. That ain’t half what they’ll look like when they’re standing before God’s great Throne of Judgment and hear that Satan’s future is their future too.
Tweet – Obama Care will cost $2.6 Trillion but will reduce the number of uninsured from 36 to 30 million. That’s $433,333 per policy.
The Constitution
Tweet – I’d like to think that the judge who spoiled @MikeBloomberg’s fun did so on principle. But more likely, he was acting out of Sprite.
Tolerance
Tweet – People flipping out that the Pope supports traditional families…you are actually upset that the Pope is, in fact, Catholic. Tweet – Libs: “The Pope is letting his Catholicism get in the way of progress! How dare he?! PROG RAGE!” Tweet – Dear MSM: We Catholics cannot change the dogma we have received from Christ and the Apostles to suit your personal sin preferences.
Getting the planks out of their own eyes
Tweet – Has Obama congratulated the new Pope yet with a picture of himself? Tweet – Someone made a joke about the Pope? Let’s burn down an embassy! <- Things that never happen.
Consistent moral values
Biden: Garden Variety Slap [:33]
Tweet – “Garden variety” slapping?!? That is a thing? If that doesn’t make abuse of women sound benign, I don’t know what does. Tweet – It wasn’t a slap-slap, just a #gardenvariety slap. Tweet – You’d think Biden’s casual familiarity with “garden variety” domestic abuse would concern people. Tweet – If Dick Cheney had ever uttered the phrase “garden variety slap across the face,” it would still be on the front page of the New York Times today.
Joe Biden recently stated, “You don’t need an AR-15. It’s harder to aim. It’s harder to use and in fact you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself. If there’s ever a problem just walk out on the balcony here and fire two blasts outside the house.”
This advice is BOTH ILLEGAL and FALSE.
Fire Two Blasts From The Balcony – ILLEGAL. Real gun safety and self-defense experts will tell you warning shots are a bad idea. Few of us live in isolated mansions with balconies, the way “Regular Joe” does but, even for him, shooting at nothing constitutes reckless discharge of a firearm. Depending on what your ammo hits, you could also face serious legal problems for personal or property damage.
An AR-15 is Harder to Use – FALSE. They’re about the same for the first shot, but after that the AR-15 is the clear winner. Shotguns generate so much more recoil that they are significantly harder to reaim and shoot again. Plus, after two shots, the shotgun needs reloading, which requires the kind of fine motor skills that go all to hell amidst the rush of adrenaline in a home invasion scenario. The AR-15 holds 30 rounds and its reload requires only gross motor skills.
You Don’t Need 30 Rounds to Protect Yourself – FALSE.In a 2011 study of NYPD officers, it was determined that, on average, officers discharged 11.5 rounds in a gunfight with a bad guy, only 30% hit their target and even fewer of those rounds proved to have actual stopping power.
Shotgun Proven To Be more Dangerous Than AR-15 [12:28]
If you’re too busy to watch the whole video (sorry, I know it’s long), here’s the quick version.
Each gun is fired by a WOMAN.
They show the ammo side-by-side at about 3:20. (Or just check out the screenshot I took.)
You can see the recoil from the AR-15 at 4:30 vs the shotgun at 5:40.
The comparison in the sizes of the holes the two types of ammo make is at 6:32.
The difference in precision and safety for bystanders is show at 7:30.
