Washington's Wake

Posts Tagged ‘Culture War’

So the administration finally admits the obvious. Contrary to Nanny Bloomberg, this was the work of an Islamic terrorist with complete funding and help by an Islamic terrorist group in Pakistan.

Top Obama administration officials jettisoned the theory that the Times Square terror suspect acted alone on Sunday, revealing that the Taliban in Pakistan — known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan — hatched and bankrolled the failed plot.

Eric Holder, making his first Sunday shows appearance as Attorney General, told ABC’s Jake Tapper on “This Week” that investigators have “now developed evidence that show that the Pakistani Taliban was behind” last weekend’s attempted bombing of Times Square.

“We know that they helped facilitate it,” Holder said. “We know that they helped finance it, and that he [suspected bomber Faisal Shahzad] was working at their direction.”

Wow. Shocked. No really. I’m shocked that the administration actually had to admit that an Islamic Terrorist propagated this attack. Now if they’ll only admit the same of the other attacks…

The bigger problem is that they refuse to see the elephant in the room and act accordingly because it’s obvious that this administration would rather be liked than do the right thing. It’s pretty much the Stuart Smalley administration.

And to prove the point, here’s what the chief law enforcement officer had to say about terrorists.

Holder also said for the first time that the administration is open to modifying the Miranda rules that protect criminal suspects in custody, and will work with Congress to revise its public safety exemption, which allows for delaying the warnings in the event a suspect has knowledge of an immediate danger to the public, to adapt to an age of terrorism.

“The [Miranda] system we have in place has proven to be effective,” said Holder, who has drawn criticism for administering the self-incrimination warning to Shahzad, a recently naturalized American.

“I think we also want to look and determine whether we have the necessary flexibility — whether we have a system that deals with situations that agents now confront. … We’re now dealing with international terrorism,” Holder said.

“I think we have to give serious consideration to at least modifying that public-safety exception [to the Miranda requirements]. And that’s one of the things that I think we’re going to be reaching out to Congress… to come up with a proposal that is both constitutional, but that is also relevant to our times and the threats that we now face.”

I suppose the obvious thing, instead of chipping away at my contitutional rights, you could conclude that we’re dealing with someone who has declared war against the US and should approach things from a military standpoint. After all, the Islamic terrorist groups have repeatedly stated, they are at war with the US. Maybe the US should, you know, take them at their face value, and act appropriately instead of ruining the rights of US citizens.

Yes I know that is really too simple a plan and would require the world view of this administration to change and admit that no, they don’t like us and no amount of talking will make them like us. They want us dead or subjugated to the will of Allah. And the quicker this Stuart Smalley administration figures this out, the sooner we won’t have to deal with dead Americans because of the incompetence of this administration.

Despite nanny Bloomberg trying to be all politically correct, it turns out that the attempted car bomb in Times Square is the work of Islamic terrorists. It was not the work of a tea party person or another Tim McVeigh. It is the work of Islamic terrorists and this administration had better get it’s head screwed on straight or we will have a serious problem.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced early Tuesday that an arrest had been made in the failed Times Square car bombing, saying that Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old American, was taken into custody at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he tried to fly to Dubai on Monday night.

This administration better get its collective head out of its collective ass and pay attention that this is an Islamic attack. The last time an administration decided to treat this as a law enforcement action, we ended up with Sept 11. This administrations pathetic pandering and kowtowing to foreigners has done nothing but shown the world he is weak.

In the real world, not the world of the community organizer, weakness is bad. The bullies of the world prey on the weak and no amount of dialogue will change that. This president better wake up and realize that, before his policies cause the bullies of the world to do something really bad. Power abhors a vacuum. And a weak American president is a huge vacuum that is begging to be filled by something. Let us hope it’s not more carnage cause by the bullies of the world, emboldened by a weak president.

You haven’t seen this picture because the legacy media is full of cowards.

There was a protest that involved active duty servicemen chaining themselves to the fence in front of the White House. The media was there to cover the even. But since HRH The Sun King was heckled the other night for his lack of policy movement on DADT, and he has a notoriously thin skin, the authorities in DC decided that it was much better to remove the media from covering the event and trying to squash any coverage of the event.

If you don’t believe me, you can see the shameful media backing up like the craven cowards they are.

You’d think the media, the supposed defenders of the first amendment, would be up in arms that their guys police apparatus actually stopped them from covering a protest. Oh wait, that’s right. HRH The Sun King is their guy, that’s why they are the craven cowards that they are and did nothing. No, they didn’t do nothing. They did what the authorities told them to do and backed up, like the cowards they are.

Where’s the bravery? Where’s the journalistic impulse to ask the police, why are you closing a public park? I’d go on but since the “journalists” have proven themselves to be such cowards it’s not even worth my time. If all you sucks up in the legacy media want to know why people think journalists are such shits, maybe you should actually look at your behavior. Of course that would require you actually doing something other than toadying up to HRH The Sun King and would require you to actually think about what you’re doing so I know that will never happen. Chumps.

Oh my, I have a new daily read. The Daily Gut hits you right between the eyes. Take, for example please, this rant on Hollywood stupidity.

The great thing about a-holes, is you can see them coming. Whether it’s Sean Penn or Jeanine Garafalo calling you a racist or wishing you dead – their essential douchebaggery makes them easy to spot and harmless. Their inanities should only generate guffaws, not concern.

I wish I could say that about nice people.

See, nice people are worse.

Case in point: Matthew Modine.

Like a typical limosine liberal, Matthew Modine went on tv and just absolutely showed how stupid he is and how clueless he is on how the world works.

Here’s how the post ends.

When faced with an “us vs. them,” mentality- in which the choice for our enemies is either death or glory: history suggests there’s only one way to respond. And it’s not with back rubs ( much to my sadness). It’s annihilation until surrender. It’s an ugly thing. But when you consider the alternative – subservience under a new caliphate – it’s pretty much all we have.

And if you disagree with me, you’re probably a racist extremist homophobe who eats poor children.

Heh.

A wonderful blistering rant on Hollywood stupidity. There’s some other great rants on the site too, so check it out.

This is a great speech. It’s a barn burner. They should be like this more often. It would really show some life and what they really stand for as a party.

You almost have to pity the useful idiots.

“The paradox is Europeans think Obama is one of them, that he ran [for office] on repairing American relations with them — damaged by Bush and the war in Iraq — and now feel he doesn’t care about them,” said Robert Kagan, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who was foreign policy adviser to Senator John McCain, Obama’s election opponent.

“He’s just not emotionally attached to Europe,” agreed Kim Holmes, of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. “It’s not hostility. It’s just indifference.”

Ha ha ha. I know that this seemed to be a prevalent mood amongst a lot of Europeans and the moderates in America. Glad you guys didn’t want to listen to those that clung to their religion and guns. Suckas.

It seems freedom from governmental tyranny is for everyone as the Billings Gazette reports.

Calling for new tribal leadership and a break from the federal government, founders of the first Crow Indian Tea Party movement rallied Monday in Hardin.

Leading the new Crow Nation Tea Party was Adrian Bird Sr., a former tribal chairman candidate…

But wait, I thought the Tea Parties were nothing but a bunch of right wing racists that hate and despise minorities in this country?

Other Tea Party members from across the state joined the Crow Nation Tea Party in demonstrating at Hardin’s only downtown stoplight. The groups gathered at every corner of the intersection with placards denouncing health care reform, climate change legislation and excessive federal government.

They elicited honks from passersby during the noon rally.

“We just wanted to be supportive of these people,” said Ken Champion of Bozeman. “Anybody who stands for freedom and liberty and opposed to unrestricted government spending, we want to support.”

Got that right. We need more people like that.

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud that I was born in Massachusetts.

I’m sure everyone knows this by now but Scott Brown has won election to the US Senate as a republican in the People’s Republic. I believe that pigs now fly and it is hockey season in hell.

But seriously folks, this turns any and all conventional wisdom about the upcoming elections completely off.

If you’re an elected democrat who’s a blue dog dem or in a centrist or god forbid republican leaning disctrict, you had better get the fear of god in you because things are now different for you.

I believe Moe Lane about sums it up.

nobody is going to be able to save you. If the President, the DSCC, the DCCC, the DNC, the SEIU, ACORN, and the netroots couldn’t manage a win in Massachusetts… what do you think that they can do for you?

No really. There’s an interesting story in Foreign Policy talking about the new surge of interest in Ayn Rand in India.

Perhaps more surprising is the Ayn Rand boom that is building in another mass democracy: India.

Not only do Indians perform more Google searches for Rand than citizens of any country in the world except the United States, but Penguin Books India has sold an impressive number of copies — as many as 50,000 of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead each since 2005, a number comparable to sales there by global best-seller John Grisham.

A very interesting story. Nice to see that maybe the entire world isn’t going to become one socialist hellhole after all.
