New Orleans: Your Last Warning

Here's the deal, New Orleans:

If you folks re-elect Nagin as your mayor (or as your Sewer Commissioner or anything else) your federal aid will be withdrawn. End of discussion.

Six Fucking Generals!

Six – yes 6 – disgruntled, retired generals are calling for the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld. Six out of over 4,000. That’s .15% - point one, five percent – less than two tenths of one percent or 1 and a half generals out of each thousand. That means that 998.5 of every thousand retired flag officers either support Rumsfeld or are afraid to voice their opinion. My point: it’s a pretty small group that’s creating this ruckus.

So howcome one-tenth of one percent or so, are right when they say that Rumsfeld should resign, while 2400 times that proportion of Americans (36%) are wrong when they say the President is doing a good job?

Howcome 6 generals, most of whom probably never met the Secretary of Defense, are presented as truth-telling heros whose motives should not be questioned, when dozens of Swiftboat Vets who served with John Kerry were universally dismissed by the media as crackpots with a (Conservative) agenda?

Guess with me: because the generals are promoting the media’s message.

That’s how it works in this country these days. To get media attention, all you have to do is make some wild accusation against the Bush Administration.

That’s why you know who Cindy Sheehan is.

That’s why you still remember Alec Baldwin.

The Death of America

The Democratic Party, and its wings in major media, academia, Europe and Hollywood, have masterfully played the opposition game. Nipping at the heels of the President at every slip, creating slips if needed, giving no ground; this 5-year onslaught has taken its toll, as fire ants can bring down an elephant, who then finds itself half-eaten before it dies.
-
But unfortunately, that is all they have. Negativity for its own sake. Their goal is only to regain power. They offer nothing to replace that which they have destroyed.
-
Yes, the Left has perfected the art of Negativity. During perhaps the most critical period in our history, they essentially invented a subtle civil war in America, turning us against each other – their historical specialty. They have created a citizenry which accepts no responsibility or accountability for its own actions, and in the process they have destroyed the United States.
-
The mortally wounded elephant struggles on, thinking that its might, or its right, must logically prevail. But the elephant is being eaten alive and will not survive. A "dead man walking", who is coming to the realization that logic does not apply in today's universe.
-
Just as we have found in the War on Terror, America – Real America – does not understand the concept of pure hatred as a motivating force. We find it hard to fight an enemy who wants nothing but our death, and is willing to pay any price to achieve it.
-
The Left has learned the game well and played it masterfully. It is a game in which they create the rules and change them at will. If it was just a game, they would be applauded for their skills, having handed a convincing and humiliating defeat to the greatest opponent in modern history: The United States of America.
-
If only it was just a game.

Cynthia McKinney: a joke

Cynthia McKinney: a joke that has been happening for 12 years.

Standing out amongst a group of generally reprehensible public "servants" in the U.S. Congress, McKinney distinguishes herself as one of the worst politicians of this or any other time. This woman, to whom nothing - absolutely nothing - but race matters, has predictably played the race card in her Capital screening incident, adding the sexual harrassment innuendo. Disgusting is her middle name.

McKinney spokesman' Coz Carson said of the investigation: "We're aware that the wheels are turning in Washington. We have no control over what they decide to do. We will make the appropriate statement and take the appropriate action once we know where they're going."
And, unless the officer and his supervisor are dismissed, unless an official apology is made to this bogus, racist abuser of the public trust, the appropriate statement will be that "blah, blah, blah... because I am a black woman."

McKinney herself is not deterred by the proceedings against her. "Rest assured, I am doing the work they sent me to Washington to do. Nothing is going to keep me away from my responsibilities," McKinney told a crowd of supporters in Atlanta Monday.

This, on the same day that she was forced to admit spending office supply money to fly Isaac Hayes to Atlanta to open some building or other, a distinct and blatant violation of House rules. Her solution is to pay back the money, and she thinks that should resolve the issue, which she surprisingly admitted this act without mentioning her race or gender - possibly a first. But "rest assured" those two citations will be made should the House Rules Committee take any action against her.

I can't believe that I'm writing about Cynthia McKenney. In the highly unlikely event that anyone ever happens to read this post, I apologize for wasting your time on this sorry subject.
