Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Do try to maintain your composure watching Prez O celebrate Iraqi sovereignty, as America hands over control of Iraqi cities to the democratically elected government there.

It is a great day for both countries.  I am confident that, within my lifetime, (most) Middle Eastern countries will be transformed into entities unrecognizable from their current sad state.

And the architect of that singular achievement will have been President George W. Bush.

Because it certainly won’t be Obama, the man who opposed the Iraq war every step of the way, the man who still cannot recognize the success of the military surge and the man who cravenly states that “No system of government can or should be imposed on one nation by another.”

Yes, it can.  Everyone wants democracy.  We should give it to them.

(Then they, of course, can f**k it all up to hell themselves by voting idiots into power, much as we in the advanced democracies so love to do.)

Obama swallowed his pride here and delivered a barely adequate speech to mark the occasion.  As president, there is no way that he could not have done this.

But be still deserves caustic scorn for his Cowardly Lion routine.  Judging by his decisions regarding Iran, Honduras, Venezuela and Cuba, Obama values democracy no higher than dictatorship.

So let’s not pretend to be surprised the next time that he refuses to defend freedom, whether it be at home or abroad.

It’s just about confirmed: Al Franken is now Senator Al Franken.

Thus does he join the ranks of those entirely unsuited to high office, whether defective through intelligence, character, criminality, having killed someone, lying about everything under the sun or just about any other infringement of decent behavior imaginable.

Seriously.  I doubt that there’s anything we could come up with that some Democrat or another has not done.

So, welcome, Al.  For those people and countries around the world who love nothing more than watching the democracies cripple themselves, today is right up there with the best of ‘em.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-MI) hubby – Thomas Athans – doesn’t appear to be a very nice chap at all.

Last year, he was caught with his pants down at a Residence Inn in Troy, paying hooker Alycia Lorraine Martin (above, left) $150 for sexual relations.

Residence Inn?  $150?  Her?  High class all the way there, Tom.  Anything to avoid getting all conjugal with the much older wife, eh?

But that was last year.  Tom’s scandal this year is to work as an “illegally unregistered lobbyist on the payroll of Democratic mega-donor Jim Papas.” (Hat-tip: Right Michigan).  This raises all sorts of deliciously career-threatening questions for Sen. Stabenow, as Nick makes clear at RM.

But stay right where you are, folks, for this sordid tale gets even better.

Links are emerging between Sen. Debbie Stabenow, her husband Thomas Athans, donor Jim Papas, Rep. John Conyers and his wife Monica Conyers and Sam Riddle (a Detroit Democrat, political consultant and former chief of staff to Monica Conyers).

In the interests of time and brevity, I’ve completely glossed over the connections here, so please head on over to Right Michigan for the down-low.

It looks as though the lid could soon be lifted off a crock of corruption so rank that it might rival even the mighty Chicago.

Good job that we’ve got Speaker Pelosi’s *cough* “pledge to make this the most honest, ethical and open Congress in history” to fall back on, right?  She’ll help us get to the bottom of all this?

Right?

Judging by the legislation under review and the changes in nomenclature, problems are already being solve left, right and center by the Democrats.

Climate change?  Solved!

Terrorism?  Solved!

Tense foreign relations?  Solved!

US debt and deficit woes?  Solved!

The latest thorn to be removed by nothing more than a stroke of the pen is the troublesome Global War on Terror.  Janet Napolitano has junked the term GWoT because, in her opinion, it does not describe accurately the nature of the terrorist threat to the US.

I dunno.  It works just fine for me in describing the people who’d love to do this sort of thing again.

Napolitano tries to bring in the intellectual big guns to justify her pointless change, stating that:

“One of the reasons the nomenclature is not used is that ‘war’ carries with it a relationship to nation states in conflict with each other and of course terrorism is not necessarily derived from the nation state relationship.”

Which, essentially, is a long way of saying blah-de-blah-de-blah.

Talk about focusing on the abstract rather than the reality.  I don’t care about the origins of the nation-state and how applicable that may be to international terrorism – I only care about terrorists being killed into line.

It’s time to pray to the swirly cosmic power force again…

Just kidding.

This’ll make you weep.

We all know that the 2010 Census is going to become a hideously partisan tool to keep the Democrats in power for as long as possible.  We also know that criminal enterprises such as ACORN are going to be the ringleaders for this mass deception.

But it gets even better.  Canada Free Press has a pants-cr*ppingly terrifying piece about the census here.

The Census is going to be more invasive than a full body cavity search.  It will empower the government to pry into areas where it has no right of access and no need of information.

Unless, that is, you’re Barack Obama.  This census will give a more detailed picture of every day life in America than has yet been accomplished.

And after that’s completed, then the fun really begins.

Because once Barry has this record, work will begin leveling down every day life to the lowest common denominator.  Socialists always prefer this route because it is so much easier than trying to raise everyone’s standard of living.  Why do all that heavy lifting when you can just destroy wealth and impose the equal sharing of misery in its stead?

Let’s return to those groups that’ll carry out the Census.  They include such luminaries as:

ACORN, 100 Black Men of America, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Arab American Institute, Asian and Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Association of Professors and Scholars of Iranian Heritage, Boat People SOS (?), Hispanic Federation, Fundacion Azteca, Latino Justice PDLDEF, Mas New Mexico, National American Indian Housing Council, NAACP National Voter Fund, National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, National Black Justice Coalition, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Minority AIDS Council, National Puerto Rican Coalition, Rainbow Push Coalition, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Voto Latino, amongst many, many others.

Do you notice the one thing that unifies those otherwise fairly disparate groups?

That’s right, they constitute just about every stratum of the historically oppressed!  Score!

Too bad so sad if you’re white, conservative or Christian – you’re just SOL, boy.

Doing too much of anything isn’t healthy.  Whatever your fixation, obsession with it will sooner or later lead to a swift kick in the nads.

Which is how it’s beginning to feel exposing myself to the limitless stupidity of left-wingers, such as California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass (above center), every day.

Don’t get me wrong – I love writing this and poking fun at those worthy of ridicule (in fact, I wish that they knew what I was writing, so if any of you feel like emailing my posts to the subject itself, please do so) but it is alarming to know that people pay so little attention to something that has such a profound effect on their lives.

OK, deep(ish) thought of the day’s over, let’s get back to the smackdown.  Idiot Bass recently stated in an LA Times interview that:

“The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: “You vote for revenue and your career is over.” I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.”

First of all, genius, learn to conjugate verbs properly or you’ll end up speaking like this.  Secondly, grow a brain, you incredible dunce.  Equating Republicans with terrorists may win you points among the extreme left but they’re not going anywhere.

It’s a horror-show of an interview and I only read half of it.  She blames the people of California for the state’s budgetary problems, comes up with an awful metaphor involving martial arts and Bruce Lee (seriously), says that white men have it easy and hysterically invokes images of people dying if the CA state government falls. What?

Karen, I’m looking forward to your next outburst already.

Oh yeah, anticipation makes the harder they fall worth two in the bush.

Or something like that.

Robert Gibbs’ verbal acrobatics are becoming increasingly unbelievable (much like the Chinese Olympic gymnasts), not that they had an abundance of credibility to begin with.  Watch the vid and smile at the warm feeling of vindication that results from seeing (hearing?) the press corp laugh openly at Gibb’s ridiculousness.

This is happening early.  It bodes about as well for the Obama administration as North Korean volatility does for world peace.

Still, it’s a pretty scant consolation for us.  Bobby, Barry n’ Bidey might not like being the target of ridicule, but they still get to implement their socialist takeover.

Perhaps this trio might seek the advice of another fabled triumvirate?

Because I really, really did not want to post this.

My blog, after all, is not concerned with the inanities of popular culture.

But Tranformers 2 is having such a corrosive effect on my brain and sunny disposition that I have to expunge myself of its toxins.

Alongside the most recent Indiana Jones movie, it reaches an all-time high of atrocity.  Everything about it is bad, with one thing so prominently awful that we’re going to focus on it exclusively.

And that is the Autobot twins, “Mudflat” and “Skids”.  Skids, above, has a gold tooth.  They do nothing except speak in ghetto/jive slang and provide constant irritation whenever on-screen – more so even than Nancy Pelosi.

Now here, making probably its debut appearance on my site, is a little nuance.  As you know, I dislike the widespread use of “racism” in response to the slightest thing with which people of a different race might disagree.  It’s insulting to those who suffer from real racism, it’s highly offensive to those unjustly being accused and it reveals nothing except for the ignorance of the accuser.  I’m looking at you, Rep. James Clyburn, among others.

However, if I were African-American and went to see Transformers 2, I would  not be very happy at all.  Forget whatever you’ve read about racist characters from the entertainment world of old, because Mudflat and Skids are the worst example I’ve ever seen.  Just about every negative stereotype of African-Americans was present, not that that stopped the (predominantly African-American) audience from frequent laughter.

What’s happening to me?  Am I now turning into one of those hideous Lefties who gets more upset about imagined racism than the supposed targets?

Hardly.  But, for once, I hope that the rumors of a lawsuit are true.

This has already gone on too long (but I am feeling slightly better having for exorcised my hatred of the movie, thank you), so one final thought: how many Hollywood idiots passed off on these characters?

The same number that nodded Hillary Clinton’s wonderful “overcharge” button through, perhaps?

Mignon Clyburn is the daughter of Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC).

Yes, that James Clyburn – the genius who accused the governors of SC, TX, MS and LA of RAAAACISM because they had the backbone to resist the poisoned chalice of funds from Porkulous.

Please let me explain, because this level of stupidity is thankfully below my you, my dear readership.  The African-American population in those four states is high, allowing Clyburn Sr., with zero hesitation, to then extrapolate that the governors must have refused the funds in an attempt to punish said African-Americans.

Right.

Because only black people are suffering from the economic crisis.  Does Clyburn ever run his words through his mind before the leave his mouth, or does he just let rip as soon as his brain has the first inklings of a thought?

Genius, like I said.  There’s no point in trying to make Clyburn recognize his dearth of intelligence  – the man has made it to this point in his life without the aid of any common sense, so he’s not going to find much use for it now.

Although Rep. Clyburn does have sense enough to exploit his position by securing jobs for cronies.  Such as his daughter, Mignon, who has been shoehorned into a five year term as a Member of the Federal Communications Commission.

That wet fart sound that you hear is the dying action of Meritocracy, finally letting go…

Wow.  Who’s the ultimate personification of the 1980s – Sonia, above, or this guy?  Too close to call.

Sonia Sotomayor, aka the “perfect affirmative action baby“, is a gross simpleton.

A judgment (of mine) confirmed by the Supreme Court today in their decision on Ricci v DeStefano.

In that case, 20 firefighters (19 white and one Hispanic) filed suit against the city of New Haven, CT, after they were denied promotions because no African-American scored highly enough in the tests.  In the absence of a single African-American among those who’d earned promotion through their test scores, the city of New Haven wisely decided to deny promotions to everyone.

Quite understandably, those 20 firefighters were miffed and sued for discrimination.

Sotomayor said nuh-uh.  But now the Supreme Court has said uh-huh.

Oh dear, Sonia.  Embarrassment should cause her to spontaneously self-combust, but if that photo didn’t, then I’m guessing that this won’t, either.

I hope that the Republicans make her choke on this.  Don’t say hello.  Don’t say how are you.  Don’t say anything to her unless it includes the words Ricci vs DeStefano.
