One Liberal's Ideas

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, May 31, 2008 4:37:49 PM
A very liberal family member gave me his opinion of the upcoming election.
This will be the sum and substance of his comments as I can remember them.

This is if he [Obama] doesn't get shot.  The neocons have it set up, if it looks like Obama is going to win, that there will be some kind of "red flag" event [explain later] in Iran, most likely, and Bush [this is before the election] will declare an "emergency."  Now after this with powers available to the President he will suspend the election and remain in power.

This "red flag" thing would be a "made up" event we would conspire with Iran to do this.  Remember this is the neocons that are plotting this.

Why would anyone in Iran want to plot with the U.S. to keep a leader in power who is not friendly to Iran to keep out Obama who would seem to be more of a friend?

He said this was his opinion and when I said he was not entitled to this opinion because it had no basis in fact or reality.  I was told that he  hoped I was right and what he described would not happen.

I invite comments also if anyone has any idea where this idea comes from.

Clueless Kerry strikes again

Well, we weren’t at war, but check out this list and ask yourself if we were at peace:

  1. 1993 - World Trade Center terrorist attack kills 6
  2. 1996 - Khobar Towers terrorist attack kills 19 US military personnel
  3. 1998 - US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania bombed, over 200 dead
  4. 2000 - USS Cole attacked, 17 sailors killed

One potatoe, two potatoe, three potatoe, four

How many times did Quayle misspell potato before the American media and popular culture proclaimed him an idiot? We can add this to Obama’s existing list of gaffes and blunders:

When Does 'Iraq Made Us Less Safe' Become Inoperable?

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, May 31, 2008 12:12:12 AM
Expanding a bit on this thought from Jen Rubin: A standard, almost rote part of Obama's argument is that the war in Iraq "hasn't made us safer, and has in fact made us less safe."But we haven't had a (knock on wood) terrorist attack on American soil since the anthrax, . . . Go

Scott McClellan

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, May 31, 2008 12:05:57 AM
McClellan tries to walk a fine line between echoing Bush haters and saying utterly irresponsible things. “Closing the Book on McClellan”

The most extraordinary aspect of McClellan’s book is the sense that he stumbled into a reckless, propagandizing administration and did its bidding for years without realizing how nefarious it was — until he left and decided to write a book. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that he has shaped his views to the marketing pressures of the publishing industry. If so, it is a shameful end to an undistinguished public career.

The story he sells isn’t even there. “What Happened?”

McClellan’s only legitimate beef seems to be his unjust treatment during the Valerie Plame investigation. But that complaint doesn’t sell books or get the sluices of journalistic saliva raging. Use of the word “propaganda” and charges of dishonesty about the war do, which is why he uses them. But McClellan concedes in interviews that even when he was an important cog in the “propaganda machine,” he never witnessed anything that seemed at the time to be deceitful or untrue.

This all bespeaks a level of sophistication few ever credited McClellan with when he stood at the podium looking like a McDonald’s cashier flummoxed by an order. He’s hawking books by making people think he’s charging the Bush administration with wholesale dishonesty when he’s not even making that case at the retail level. He’s claiming the role of insider with behind-the-scenes insights, but he admits it never occurred to him that there was any dishonesty at work until he left the White House and began ruminating on what he could put in his book.

McClellan’s book has all the inherent interest of one of his briefings. “Mouth McClellan”

If McClellan’s provocative language is stripped away, what he is saying is unremarkable. In its zeal to persuade the public of the case for war, the president’s team ended up “obscuring nuances and ignoring the caveats that should have accompanied their arguments.” In retrospect, that’s inarguably true. “However,” McClellan adds, “this is not the same as saying they deliberately misled and lied.”

Bob Dole Goes Freakin’ Nuclear On Scott McClellan

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 30, 2008 11:44:22 PM
see-dubya  •  May 30, 2008 01:26 PM [Michelle Malkin's site]

Whoa, nelly!

“There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues,” Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. “No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique.”

It gets better. Nicely done, Senator.

UPDATE: Commenter Iamsaved cautions “Don’t be surprised if the money trail [for McClellan’s book] leads to George Soros or one of his ilk”.

Oh, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Allah’s got some more questions about the book’s financing.

Me Generation: Perpetual Adolescents

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 30, 2008 11:35:59 PM

Here is how our baby-boom generation solves problems: Recently, George Bush went to Saudi Arabia to ask the ruling House of Saud to pump more oil.

For the past five years, we fretted over a "housing boom" that had priced an entire generation out of the market. In response, government and lending agencies got "creative" by relaxing standards to allow shaky "first-time" buyers into the red-hot market of high-priced homes. Home-improvement TV shows proliferated on how to "flip" houses and buy "no-down-payment" properties.

When the bubble inevitably burst, cries of outrage followed about how "they" (never "we") caused a "depression" in housing. Our leaders shrieked about greedy lenders and incompetent regulators who foreclosed on us — never that the American people themselves caused much of the speculation problem, or that housing prices are finally becoming affordable again for new couples.

What Recession?

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 30, 2008 11:28:59 PM
Many (if not most) pundits, economists and policymakers seem to think the U.S. is in a recession. And if polls are to be believed, so do the American people. Funny, the data just don't show it, at least not yet.
