Tim Tebow Can Be Great, Just Not in the NFL | Bleacher Report:
Oh, wait, he already has come out ... as a Christian. That makes him "controversial". He had been declared unfit for the NFL immediately upon entry as I talked about in "Christian Hate Speech".
Does ANYONE really think it is "courageous" to come out as Gay today? Could ANYONE write something like this about whatever his name unknown from the equally unknown Wizzards who recently came out as "the first openly gay person in US professional sports"?? (with a glowing banner headline on CNN).
We have pretty much descended to Roman times without the lions (yet) ... Note, real lions, not the Motor City Kitties!
Bring on the debauchery, throw the Christians to the MSM!!!
The lions were more fair minded!

W Still Right, Saddam Still Dead
Iraq 10 years later: George W. Bush is still right | Washington Times Communities:
Wow, just read it. Very well done.
We all know if Saddam had still been in power in '04, that would have been a Kerry campaign centerpiece. Having the media on your side means you can say anything and get away with it!

Our Dying Troops Forgotten
iCasualties | Operation Enduring Freedom | Afghanistan:
Remember when showing pictures of grieving military families and the caskets coming back from overseas was an extremely high media priority? Remember when each and every loss of a solider was front page news, and when it was in your state, it was both local and national news?
This completely proves that for the left and the MSM, the "anti-war" posture was COMPLETELY politically motivated. Whatever their protestations, they care not one whit for the actual troops -- BO could slaughter as many as he wanted in any way he saw fit for a good long while and they would be silent or even cheering.
Take a look at the following and then try to recall when the last time you have seen ANYTHING on troops lost on Afghanistan? Can we really be SO BRAINWASHED that we as a people get whipsawed about by an MSM intent on bringing down W, so hammering the pain of each casualty home in searing headline reports, yet INSTANTLY putting on a virtual news blackout of loses as BO takes power.
If electing BO a 2nd time didn't make it obvious, this clearly should. We have COMPLETELY lost our ability to govern ourselves.
499 soliders lost in 2010. A congressional election year. I never knew. Each 1K milestone under W was a "story of the week" for the MSM. Casualties in Afghanistan were especially bad ... because W had "taken his eye off the ball" there, and was busy "fighting the wrong war". Kerry and then BO promised "we can do better"! They were COMMITTED to WIN "the right war".
310 Americans lost last year. Be honest, did you have ANY idea??
1577 lost since BO took office. Remember when Kerry was hammering on "who will be the last man to die for a lost cause in Iraq"? Well?? He is Sec of State now!! Are we "winning" in Afghanistan? Does anyone even care??
"Better" meaning drastically INCREASE casualties with no evidence of increased success against Al Qaeda or the Taliban? I only thought of this today because I'd seen some postings on FB of units that had been especially hard hit the last couple months in Afghanistan and had lost 5 and 10 guys in very elite tight knit units -- they were asking for help and for people to take notice.
I'm ashamed. How hard it is to pay attention to "absence of evidence" and to realize it complete is NOT "evidence of absence". We are ALL, me very much included, so very easily led by the MSM that it is completely humbling and VERY disturbing!

French Spring??
A French “Oui” for Gay Marriage? Not So Fast | Power Line:
Wow, civil unrest in France? A backlash against "gay marriage" in that most sophisticated of European nations? Why, this would seem to be a story!
No? Interesting ... Powerline covers it superbly here, I love the assertions on what the media is probably up to and thus missing this important topic!

Gay Cheerleading
A personal sexual preference is headline news? I thought that Gay was supposed to be "just like everyone else, no big deal"??
Why this is almost as big a news event as Tiger Woods "coming out" as "completely not monogamous" ... although that also did a good job dissing "tired old Judaeo Christian ethics", so why wasn't it celebrated as heartily?
Not that there as ever any doubt, but we can certainly see that the MSM has no desire that being Gay be in any way "equal" with being heterosexual. Being Gay is clearly supposed to be celebrated and trumpeted from the rooftops -- where being heterosexual, even getting married like Michael Jordan, (ironically on the same page) is much lower priority news well down the sidebar!

Wrong About Ricin Case
Ricin case resembles a Mississippi tall tale:
I discovered a strange case where the MSM in the US has decided to NOT make the indication that the alleged perpetrator is a Republican. I had to do some searching to discover the apparent political leanings of Everett Dutschke which something like 90% means "Democrat" when the topic is "something bad". So my rule failed in this case!
It seems that the ricin caper is a comedy of inept and weird southern vendetta. The British tabloid media seems to be enjoying it far more than the US ... feud between an accused child molester and an Elvis Impersonator in Tupelo MS. Hard to beat that for "weird news of the world"!

Hoping For the Next Newton
Round Two for Gun Control May Take a ‘Next Newtown’ - NationalJournal.com:
Republicans need only try to get the deficit under $1T these days before we get a huge chorus from the MSM saying "they want the economy to fail so that Obama will be blamed".
No chance someone could believe that incentives for hard work, fiscal responsibility, less inflationary politics, etc could POSSIBLY produce better economic results! Nope, Republicans are mean spirited political ideologues, and even though they tend to be hard workers, investors, and have kids and grandkids, they completely and ONLY care about "making Obama look bad". How could anyone who has invested in the country and a family POSSIBLY care about the future?
We well know that caring about the future is the sole domain of folks that aborted their kids or wrote two autobiographies before they were 50! Those are the folks that care about the future of America more than temporary expediency or personal political gain!!
Why, I'd have to be the insane right wing looney that I am to think any different!
Can ANYONE look at this and not believe that there are not a TON of folks on the left that WANT to see another Newtown?? Heck, they are willing to essentially say that in a HEADLINE!! No chance at all I suppose that there could be some crazy lefty out there that is right now "girding his loins" to head out and shoot up some grade school ... or maybe nursery this time if the committed gun grabbers are "lucky".
Why is it that the often MSM makes me sick again??

How Politics Works
Michael Ramirez Cartoon:
'via Blog this'
We have all seen this happen locally. The classic is the school when short of money starts cutting athletic or music programs that have heavy emotional support, and explains "that's what cuts mean". They don't cut monstrous administration salaries, reduce administrative personnel, increase some of the class sizes at Jr High and HS, etc. They take actions that are guaranteed to get people up in arms ASAP.
Local government is much the same. Hold some key local need hostage until the pet bonding or tax levy that allows pork and featherbedding as usual to go on or even increase. Just go take a walk through your local courthouse, county government center or other similar facility and think about the thought that "government has been cut to the bone".
This is why our founders worked so hard to LIMIT the Federal Government. They had studied human nature and history, and they were dealing with a government ruled by a King. They knew government was necessary, but realized that it was very difficult to control, even at the LOCAL level.
The BO FAA ploy is classic. Refuse to deal with the elected representatives of the people, suggest the idea of sequestration, get the tax increases on the wealthy that you had indicated were what you were after, and then continue to refuse to deal on spending. When the sequestration that you wanted comes to pass and really doesn't make that much difference after all, push in any way you can to make it as painful as you possibly can, independent of the harm it causes to the economy or to individuals.
You are just going to successfully blame it on the other party anyway and probably even pick up control of the House in the next election because, just as in 1776, lawless despotism works!
For the despot!

FAA Furlough Fact Free Fury
FAA furlough reprieve: 'No fair!' - Apr. 26, 2013:
First, let's get the salient point out, this quote is in response to the claim that the BO admin is just trying to make things as painful as possible for political purposes:
What I find even more interesting is the left screaming "no fair" on even the phony "deal" to get the controllers back to work. They want "all or nothing". Either ALL the funding comes back, or NONE of it!!
With that logic, we can't possibly govern ourselves. The whole idea of budgets is making intelligent choices about where and how much to spend based on priorities and trade-offs. Take that away and one would get a government spending trillions, borrowing trillions and taxing the economy into oblivion on auto-pilot.
Oh, wait ...

First, let's get the salient point out, this quote is in response to the claim that the BO admin is just trying to make things as painful as possible for political purposes:
The FAA’s budget backs that theory. According to FAA budget documents, the agency’s budget request for the 2013 fiscal year was $15.146 billion. The FAA’s actual, post-sequestration budget for FY 2013 was $15.371 billion — $225 million more than requested, as Phil Kerpen at American Commitment noted Thursday.So, there are two potential reasons for the supposedly sequestration caused furloughs:
- Gross incompetence. The FAA requested over $225 million less than they needed to operate, and that ONLY came to light after the sequestration.
- This is a political ploy to make people "feel the pain" of sequestration.
What I find even more interesting is the left screaming "no fair" on even the phony "deal" to get the controllers back to work. They want "all or nothing". Either ALL the funding comes back, or NONE of it!!

I Miss W
CURL: W outclasses Barack and Bill, without even trying - Washington Times:
Had to throw in a little rah rah after the W Presidential Library opening. Reagan was certainly better, but no question that W was the 2nd best President of my lifetime. From 2000-2006, America still had hope for a better tomorrow, but we let ourselves down in '06 and elected Democrats to both houses of congress, and it ias been downhill HARD ever since.
My sense is that we have no hope of pulling out of this decline without domestic violence of a sort not seen since the Civil War, economic collapse to a level we have never seen -- making the Depression seem mild by comparison, and probably a major war with more loss of life than WWII ... it could be worse than that, but I'm somewhat of an optimistic realist.
But we had one final shot, W did his very best, we just blew it as a people.

NY Mag Classy Insights on W
Bush: Terrible President, Also Not a Smart Man -- Daily Intelligencer:
On the very day of the opening of your enemies Presidential Library, when four ex-pres, two of which pretty much hate him (Carter and Omama) are willing to show up and be civil (KUDOS!!) , it make a significant statement to be out beating the "W is a dummy" drum!.
Since it is obvious that W is stupid and was a terrible president, completely obvious that the NY Rag and old J Chait are super intelligent, urbane, and immensely competent, I can only imagine what is on tap for tomorrow!
Earth not flat, penis enlargement pills fake???
Since they wanted to put in some cherry picked videos to prove their point on the stupidity, here is the master of numeric intelligence waxing eloquent ...

Not All Terrorists are Muslim
Government Wants 45 Years for Would-Be Mass Murderer | Power Line:
No, some are left wing homosexuals that attack people that disagree with their beliefs.
Had this attack been on an abortion clinic or a left-wing organization, "Floyd Corkins" would be famous, and we would know A LOT about this attack and trial.
I can't possibly see how any of the press could be held accountable for rhetoric relative to Chick-fil-A that could have precipitated an idea like killing the folks and then rubbing a Chick-fil-a sandwich in their face.
Not nearly so clear as Sarah Palin using "targeted" in an ad relative to "causing" the Gabby Giffords shooting ... those Republicans REALLY have to clean up their militaristic rhetoric!

The Defense of the Indefensible
Why Does Evil Make Liberals Stupid? | Power Line:
I happened to touch on the main column covered by PL in this blog.
This is worth a read. The point that PL does NOT make here is that if the bombers had turned out to be in ANY way "right wing", or even if they had just been nuts, and opened up with an AK-47 at the finish line the inability to deal with evil and thus the fall to incoherency would not have happened.
If the bombing had in any way been "right wing", **EVIL**!!!!!! would be shouted from the rooftops and COMPLETELY connected with "Fox News, Talk Radio, Conservative Bloggers, Republicans, the NRA, Christians hating gay marriage, etc, etc" ... now? There is just no way for a liberal to understand the complexity of it all.
In fact, as we saw in both the bombing and ricin case, the MSM could barely contain their hopeful rage in either case that it WOULD turn out to be "right wing". They MUCH more enjoy being able to pound on what they see as the SOLE source of evil in the world, rather than having to drift into inconsolable incoherency in defense of the indefensible.
