Based on thousands of requests—okay, maybe four—I’m working
on making my collection of Random Thoughts since 2008 available in book form.
Stay tuned.
With the IRS Scandal, the AP phone records scandal, the Fast
and Furious gun running scandal, the Benghazi
scandal, the Pigford scandal, the war on Libya Clinton
Benghazi—what I think happened: I think that Obama and
Clinton made a cold political assessment that it was better to let Stevens and
the SEALs die than to risk a response, because a rescue effort might fail with
even more deaths, and it might create a firefight that would kill Muslims, thus
provoking riots in the Muslim world, none of which would have been good for Obama’s
reelection. It would have totally destroyed the “we have al Qaeda on it’s heels
and the war on terror is over” narrative of the Obama campaign. Then they cast
around for an explanation that didn’t identify terrorism, and tried to pin it
on the video. That unraveled by the debates, despite the moderator weighing in
on Obama’s side, and we now know was a deliberate lie. Americans were allowed
to die to protect Obama politically. That’s despicable. But most Americans care
more about the latest sensational trial, American
Idol and their free Obama Phones than about honor or the lives of brave
Americans.
Turns out the Obama of the first Romney-Obama debate is the
real Obama. Who knew? Well, other than right wing tea party nuts being audited
by the IRS.
Because my advancing pulmonary fibrosis is forcing my
retirement, we are putting the condo in Cook County Chris Dodd and other
Democrats who defended Fannie against Bush’s efforts to rein it in, promising
us they wouldn’t cost taxpayers a nickel. Dr. Thomas Sowell has pointed out
that both white and black owned banks gave mortgages to whites at higher rates
than to blacks, and to Asians at higher rates than to whites, because people
individually in these groups had better credit ratings and were more likely to
repay the loans. But Progressives always have to find racism, and if that hurts
the average guy, white or black, they don’t care.
Obama blamed Bush when gas went to $1.84 a gallon. Can we
get Bush back to do this again?
Anyone surprised by the Obama scandals must not know that
Obama is a Chicago Way
I think the GOP is likely to blow the advantage these
expected scandals give them, as they did with Clinton
All this talk of Obama being impeached or resigning is just
talk. The House can impeach, but conviction requires 2/3rds of the Senate. Few
Democrats would dare to alienate their black constituents, especially when it
would likely mean riots in the cities. Unless they have video evidence of him
murdering someone, or selling secrets to al Qaeda, no chance. Maybe not then.
I recently announced that my declining health had forced me
to retire by November. People keep saying “Congratulations!” Gee, on a worsening
terminal illness? Should I wish them the same?
How come FEMA’s response to Katrina was George Bush’s fault,
but anything the IRS, the Justice Department or the State Department has done
in the last five years was totally separate from Obama?
Why is it brave for one athlete to tell people he’s gay, and
divisive for another to say he’s a Chris tian?
Maybe they could head off future terrorism by going down the
welfare rolls for Muslim names?
Seems to me that retirement is when every day is Saturday
and no day is payday.
Facts are hard things. Math is fact based.
Fact: There are tens of millions of Muslims in the world,
and thousands in the US
Few things are as evil as good intentions that produce bad
results for real people.
They say if you build a better mouse trap, the world will
beat a path to your door. Today, the people at your door will be: The EPA,
demanding an environmental impact statement. Manufactures of other traps,
lobbing government to outlaw yours. PETA organizing a protest. OSHA demanding
that you institute operator safety regulations. The DOJ, with an anti-trust
suit claiming your trap is anti competitive. Obama, claiming you didn’t build
it, but wanting to tax it heavily to spread your wealth around. And so it
goes...
Few things are as disappointing, or as common, than finding
a lack of loyalty in people you have been loyal to.
There are few handicaps worse than the self imposed one of
having a bad attitude.
I hope, for old times sake, Obama declares this “recovery
summer” again.
So, which was worse? Watergate, Fast and Furious or Benghazi
Oh, if only Obama had thought to make Benghazi
My position on Syria
When Mexicans point out that the Southwest US once belonged
to Mexico , we might point
out that all of Mexico
Martin Luther king Jr dreamed of an America
Hey, did you hear that Tamerlan Tsarnaev's secret burial
place is on a pig farm? Tell all your Muslim friends!
I volunteer for the firing squad to shoot the Cleveland
Remember what your mom said: Always wear clean underwear in
case some member of the Religion of Peace blows your legs off, screaming “Allah
Akbar” in a fit of workplace violence, and you have to go to the emergency room
if you get through triage.
Liberal logic: if low skill Americans lose their jobs to
“undocumented workers, they can go on food stamps, welfare or disability.
That’s what they are for.
Using pejoratives like “libtard” helps liberals as more
moderate folks will tune you out, and anyone with a mental challenged loved one
will be offended by you, not the liberal you are targeting.
There are Starbucks people and Dunkin’ Donuts people. I’m a
Dunkin’ guy.
Whenever there is a violent incident reported as breaking
news, the left media and liberals all start hoping that the perpetrator is a
white, Chris tian, veteran,
NRA/tea-party member so they can drive their narrative. Conservatives hope the
perp is black, Hispanic or Muslim so the media won’t use it to sear all of
them. More often than not, they get their wish.
Not all muggers are bad guys. Be a little careful about
turning your back on good guys.
Not surprising that the left is making the Gitmo
detainees—those who haven’t been released to return to murder—into victims. The
love ruthless murderers.
It’s hard for me to understand why someone who at 18 is not
considered old enough to have a beer is old enough to join the military to go
war, fight and perhaps die, to help select the next President of the United States
I would not accept the job of Press Secretary to ANY
president.
On Benghazi
When a politician uses the passive voice to say, “Mistakes
were made,” it’s like a child saying “The lamp broke,” thus distancing him from
responsibility.
With all due respect to Tom Jefferson, “pursuing happiness” doesn’t
work. But if you commit yourself to things you care about more than yourself, such as family, job, non-profit cause, church or temple, community, of
service to your country, happiness will find you.
Tee shirt suggestion: “I’m an environmentalist. I helped
make Al Gore rich beyond anyone’s dreams, the lower class poor and jobless and I
and my greenie friends feel all warm and fuzzy.”
Government is now so big, that no one is responsible for
what it does.
How to tell if you are an elitist in the One Percent: You
have someone stand in the rain holding an umbrella over you.
Democrats pretending that Benghazi
Obama’s scandal excuses are getting down to “I know nothing,
besides Nixon did it too.”
The “Book of Mormon,” a musical comedy, has been playing in Chicago
If a TV infomercial tells you the price of the item, but not
the shipping and handling costs, you can bet they are going to hose you on
S&H.
Remember when members of the media were watchdogs instead of
lapdogs?
When a Progressive says “Social Justice” he means “Stand and
Deliver!”
If Obama had responded as strongly to Benghazi
When I call a business and get, “XYZ business can you please
hold?” rattled at me, I’m always tempted to say, “No, we will give the prize to
the next person” and hang up.
I received a bumper sticker mock up with the Democrats’
dream ticket: “Weiner -Holder for 2016.”
Why are you surprised at the current Obama administration
abuse of power scandals? He was nurtured in the bosom of the Chicago Daley
Democrat machine, never spoke against corruption or abuse of power in Chicago
I’ve noticed that people who like to stick it to other folks
are surprised and outraged when the other folks try to stick it back.
Have you paid “your fair share” to support the next Obama
golf vacation, the next First Daughter’s international spring break, the next
White House Celebrity Bash or the next funding of Muslim Terrorist
organizations?
Officials knew about the IRS political abuses in October.
Too bad the public was kept in the dark.
The IRS and AP calls scandal prove one of two things: The
Obama Administration is a threat to freedom. Or the administration is
incompetent and the government is a threat to freedom. Take your pick.
If I understand liberals and the media, anyone who holds the
position an gay marriage that Obama held last year, before he switched to Dick
Chaney’s position, it’s a heartless, brain dead Neanderthal.
When Obama “evolves,” it looks like “spin” to onlookers.
Remember when MNSBC talked about the Obama Administration
being relatively scandal free? Ah, good times.
If Islam is a “religion of Peace,” as both Bush and Obama
assured us, wouldn’t their be a massive, world-wide campaign of Muslims against
jihadists defaming their religion with violence?
Starting in 2014, you might not want to talk politics or
wear conservative tee shirts to your health care appointments.
Polls show that, given a choice, a majority of folks would
chose Republican policies, but vote for Democrats because they like them
better. Hope they like the results they are getting.
Jihad: The original hate Crime.
If you vote for cool over competent, you get what you
deserve.
You haven’t heard real cursing until you’re with me when I
step on my oxygen hose and rip it painfully off my ears.
If you cite the Crusades as justification for Muslim
violence, victimhood and anger, either you are ignorant of history or you want
to ignore facts to prove your point. Muslims attacked Europe
many time, and first. See the Battle
of Tours and Charles Martel (Supposedly an ancestor of mine, but so far
back, probably of yours as well.)
It only takes one disaffected employee with a negative,
hostile attitude to poison the well in an office.
Scratch a Progressive, find a Totalitarian. All for your own
good, of course.
Communism is when government owns all businesses. Socialism
is when it owns big ones, like energy and healthcare. Fascism is when business
is privately owned, but controlled and directed by the government, with favored
companies rewarded. Which sounds most like America
With all my medical tests for a lung transplant evaluation,
I’ve given more blood than the loser in a vampire movie.
If someone is looking to be offended, anything will do.
One of my jokes is that sometimes when I’m introduced to
someone, I say, “Congratulations on getting to meet me!” One fellow at a party
topped me, saying, “Well, it’s been a pleasure so far!”
Affirmative Action is racism, dressed fancy for the
Progressives Ball.
Groups keep subscribing me to e-mail lists faster than I can
unsubscribe.
See something, say something, get charged with Islamophobia
or hate speech.
Be nice if the person in front of you using the food stamp
credit card at least thanked you.
From the KKK to Tammany Hall to the IRS, Democrats have
always intimidated the opposition.
Now that Hezbollah is on the side of the “bad” Syrian
government against the “good” rebels, does that make Israel
They say there is no food that really burns fat. But that’s
not true. A turnip a day will do it. But you have to dig it up yourself, from a
farm at least ten miles away, that you walk to.
A Chinese couple in grocery recently saw my oxygen tank,
said they were Christians and asked if they could pray for me. I said sure.
With her saying "amen" regularly, he pretty forcefully, if in not the
best English ordered Satan & pulmonary fibrosis to leave me alone, never
return, and put me under the protection of Jesus. I'm not making fun of
this—I’m grateful for anyone who cares and wants to help. This is the second
time someone has publically prayed for me. Maybe it will help.
