Hypocrisy Reeks Out of the White House and Earns a Hoot in Russia

Read this quotation from a couple of days ago from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and tell me it’s not the height of hypocrisy:

"People must be free to take unpopular positions, disagree with conventional wisdom, know they are safe to peacefully challenge accepted practice and authority," she said in a speech at Moscow State University."

Let’s see. This is from a high emissary from a White House that is trying to silence and smear every critic in the land and particularly to paint Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the entire Fox News Bureau as fringe lunatics who are deluded liars making stuff up.

I guess "unpopular positions" and disagreements with "conventional wisdom" (an oxymoron since there is no wisdom in the current White House) are fine to challenge in Russia, but if you do so here, be ready to be charged with made-up hate crimes and racist acts and be shipped off to a re-education camp, never to be seen or heard from again. It can happen unless the American public wakes up.

I take it that Clinton elicited a good chuckle from her audience.

Gollum Grows More Desperate as ‘My Precious’ Recedes

One would hope that Saint Hillary, who in reality is a real-life reincarnation of Gollum, would have a self-examination as the original Gollum did with with his untainted self Smeagle in Peter Jackson’s memorable Lord of the Rings.  Instead, she just grows more desperate as her morally and mortally conflicted persona as America’s political Gollum sees her prize recede from grasp.

"My precious" now belongs to Hosanna Obama barring his demise from act of God or man, which I don’t wish on anyone.

Saint Hillary has already played the race card through surrogate self "Eye of Sauron" hubby Bill, and that didn’t do the trick.  The Ring is still in someone else’s possession.  So now her only hope is a) the Iowa and Florida trump card and b) a superdelegate sellout.

Gollum and Eye of Sauron will, of course, continue to sell their souls to achieve both a and b, but to no avail.

In the end, both will be plunged into the fiery pits of Mount Doom, losers in the battle to "rule them all."

We’ll all be the winners as Obama Hosanna then goes down to defeat to ersatz but better-than-nothing Republican John McCain.

Election 2008: Gollum and the Eye of Sauron

I’ve often written of Hillary Clinton that she will someday become the Norma Desmond of modern politics, descending a flight of stairs in delusional grandeur as the cameras roll.

However, that can’t happen until the primary is over.  Meanwhile, the most apt comparisons for Hillary and husband Bill are to Gollum and the Eye of Sauron.

As she becomes more desperate, Hillary is now muttering "my precious" even as her precious–the ring to bind them all in the person of the presidency–slips ever farther from her reach.

Meanwhile, husband BIll is the Eye of Sauron, policing all the political hacks, cronies and liars he’s accumulated through the years of public abuse to make sure they don’t stray from the fold and disrupt the Clintons’ perceived path to destiny–and to dynasty.

Case in point: Look at how Bill trashed New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who was in Clinton’s cabinet, when he endorsed Hosannah Obama.

What next?  The pits of Mordor?  Yes, but only if a Demofiend captures and takes the White House–and the rest of us–prisoner.

Time to Sing the Praises of Sheer Prevarication

If Hosanna Obama succeeded in obfuscating the row over the anti-white and anti-American fulminations of Rev. Jeremiah Washington, then St. Hillary went one better.  She became a hero bigger than John McCain–in her mind anyway.

Hillary evidently awoke one day at 3 a.m. and remembered how snipers had pinned her down in Bosnia in 1996.  Problem was, videotapes soon surfaced showing her and Chelsea (how much plastic surgery has she had since then?) smiling on the tarmac and being civilly greeted by several unharried, unworried people, including a young girl in a ponytail.

I guess the sniper fire came after the news crews left.  Or something like that.

Or maybe, as Roger Clements accused buddy Andy Pettitte, she just misremembered.

As usual, the liberal media downplayed, ignored and made excuses for this blatant lie.  I guess when you’re a sainted savior of all that’s best in America, you get the benefit of a cover-up.

Pardon me while I go throw up.

Demofiend Solution to Scarcity: Wait in Line Till You Die

Though I routinely bash the Demofiends for their eternal mantra of "tax, deny and regulate them until they’re happy" (they being we the people), I am genuinely optimistic about humankind’s ability to solve its own problems–outside of government, that is.  Even so, I must admit that either scarcity or over-demand or both are currently plaguing our world.

Even if there is a limit–temporary or permanent–to growth, however, the Demofiends’ only answer is to ration everything through nationalization/socialization–in other words, if you need health care, nationalize it, parcel it out, and put everyone on a waiting list.

Likely scenario:

Doctor:  "You have cancer, and we have to operate immediately or you’ll likely die within six months."

Patient:  "Sounds scary, but when can we do the operation?"

Doctor:  "Looks like we can get you a hospital slot in 18 months."

Nancy Pelosi/Hillary Clinton in the same scenario:  Operation the next day because people in Congress and high places will be outside the system.

That being said (and it’s oh so true), what I really wanted to do here was to share some quotations that I read yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, quotations that got me thinking about the so-called limits to growth.  Frankly, I’ve always felt that humankind’s ingenuity would always trump any limit to natural resources, but we shall see what happens.  Here are the quotes:

"The power of the population is so superior to the power of the Earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit for the human race."–Thomas Malthus, 1798

"If the present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limits to growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next 100 years."–The Club of Rome think tank, 1972

Were Hillary or Pelosi to read those quotations, the likely reaction would be more regulation and taxes, resulting in long gas lines, winters when you couldn’t heat your house and food rationizing–for everyone except people in Congress and high places.

Go ahead and vote for them if you like, but those are guaranteed predictions.  Just pray that you’re one of those people in high places.

Why the War in Iraq Was Really Undertaken

Five years have now passed since the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Vice President Dick Cheney, in Iraq with Sen. John McCain — the presumptive Republican nominee for president — summarized the five years by saying, “If you reflect back on those five years, it’s been a difficult, challenging, but nonetheless successful endeavor. We’ve come a long way in five years, and it’s been well worth the effort.” Democratic presidential aspirant Sen. Hillary Clinton called the war a failure.

It is the role of political leaders to make such declarations, not ours. Nevertheless, after five years, it is a moment to reflect less on where we are and more on where we are going. As we have argued in the past, the actual distinctions between McCain’s position at one end (reduce forces in Iraq only as conditions permit) and Barack Obama’s position (reduce them over 16 months unless al Qaeda is shown to be in Iraq) are in practice much less distinct than either believes. Rhetoric aside — and this is a political season — there is in fact a general, but hardly universal, belief that goes as follows: The invasion of Iraq probably was a mistake, and certainly its execution was disastrous. But a unilateral and precipitous withdrawal by the United States at this point would not be in anyone’s interest. The debate is over whether the invasion was a mistake in the first place, while the divisions over ongoing policy are much less real than apparent.

I’ll Donate the Staircase for Norma Clinton/Hillary Desmond

Barak Obama is on a roll and probably will be the anointed wonder of the Democratic party and this election year.  That doesn’t mean he’ll be elected, but it does mean goodbye to the Clintonian nightmare.

Now, I’m no fan of Barak’s.  I watched his Wisconsin victory speech (which he gave in Houston) Tuesday night, and he promised about three trillion dollars worth of programs in a very few minutes, prompting John McCain (whom I also don’t like) to observe that Obama is proclaiming "a holiday from history." 

"Just so," as my Irish ancestors would say.

The thing about Hillary is that she’s just so f—ing smug and arrogant.  She thought that her pedigree (huh?) as Bill Slimeton’s husband would assure her ascendency as Queen Hillary.

Not so fast.

Even Demofiends can smell–and deal with–hubris, though usually it would carry the day in absence of an anointed one.

All I can say is that I would be glad to spend my last dollars to donate a staircase for St. Hillary to descend in front of the cameras to proclaim her return, as did Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard in one of the most amazing and memorable scenes in cinema history.

Delusion springs eternal, Hillary.
