Conservative commentary on the Navy Yard shooter

Thirteen killed at Navy Shipyard by a crazy person (and William Jefferson Clinton)  .... "President Clinton?
"In 1993, Clinton issued an order banning guns from US military bases.
"Excepting military police and troops shooting under supervision at practice ranges, no person (regardless of rank) is today allowed to carry any weapon (including standard service pistols) onto any US military base or to keep any weapon, even stored securely, in his office or personal quarters.
"Prior to that order, officers of certain ranks were required to wear side arms."....

DC Mayor blames sequester for Navy Yard shooting   "Oh, for heaven's sake. Shut up. Just - shut up, will you?"

Drive-Bys Uncomfortable with Obama's Partisan Attacks in Midst of DC Shooting   "The president yesterday, when he went to start selling all the great lies he's telling about his economy went up within, what, hours of this tragedy and acknowledged it in an almost perfunctory way, and then began an onslaught, a partisan onslaught against his best friends in Washington, the Republicans."  Rush Limbaugh 

Gun Control’s Dead End "So resolved, let us lay down this marker: Those claiming that yesterday’s abomination demonstrates the need for stricter gun control are lying, or else they are ignorant, and, either way, they should be ashamed of themselves. It does no such thing."

Strategy, Ideology and the Close of the Syrian Crisis

STRATFOR  "It is said that when famed Austrian diplomat Klemens von Metternich heard of the death of the Turkish ambassador, he said, "I wonder what he meant by that?" True or not, serious or a joke, it points out a problem of diplomacy. In searching for the meaning behind every gesture, diplomats start to regard every action merely as a gesture. In the past month, the president of the United States treated the act of bombing Syria as a gesture intended to convey meaning rather than as a military action intended to achieve some specific end. This is the key to understanding the tale that unfolded over the past month."   Read more.

"The Obama administration is sending its highest-ranking speaker yet to keynote J Street’s conference in Washington.

"The group has been branded a “pro-peace” alternative to pro-Israel groups such as AIPAC, the ADL and the American Jewish Committee. Alan Dershowitz once said “J Street has done more damage to Israel than any American organization.' ”

Navy Yard Shooting Suspect Had Gun Battle With Police

Initial Thoughts on the Navy Yard Shooting "The call for a muscular governmental response each and every time that something bad happens in America is an unsavory reminder of what can best be described as our dumb first instinct — a hard-coded human reaction that is closely and dishonorably related to the same primeval impulse that leads frightened children to respond to disasters, abominations, and tragedies with a touching, but useless refrain, “make it better, Mommy.” "

Here’s How The Lamestream Media Completely Screwed Up Reporting About The Navy Yard Shooting
This from Mediaite:  “I used to work in Washington, live in Washington. This seems so unusual to me that a gunman could create this kind of havoc at a U.S. military facility,” [Carol] Costello asked her producer, Brian Todd. “Have you ever heard of this happening before, Brian?”

“I was just saying that this is so unusual, because this is such a heavily-secured military facility. I’ve worked in Washington for many years, I’ve never heard of such a thing happening,” she asked.
“Well, we haven’t either in this area, Carol,” Todd replied. “This is the first time we’ve seen something like this, at least in many, many years. Now you remember the Fort Hood shooting in 2009, where that was a member of the service who was convicted eventually of doing that shooting.”

ABC News   "Aaron Alexis, the former Navy reservist who killed 12 people during a shooting spree at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. today, exchanged gunfire with police multiple times before he was finally shot and killed by an officer.

" 'I think the actions by the police officers, without question, helped to reduce the number of lives lost," Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference today.

"The death of Alexis, 34, of Fort Worth, Texas, brought the toll of the carnage at the Navy Sea Systems Command headquarters to 13. Officials said at least a dozen others were injured.

Obsessed Sharpton Distorts O'Reilly 'Parasites' Comment Seven Times in a Month

Newsbusters  " Between August 13 and September 13, MSNBC's PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton has been so obsessed with FNC host Bill O'Reilly's criticism of food stamp abuse, the MSNBC host has on seven separate occasions played a clip of O'Reilly complaining that some food stamp recipients are "parasites" who abuse the system.

"But Sharpton has repeatedly portrayed O'Reilly's comment as a general attack on the poor, as his PoliticsNation program has repeatedly played the same clip -- or a shorter version -- of the FNC host. O'Reilly, from the Monday, August 12, The O'Reilly Factor on FNC:

Krauthammer On Putin Op-Ed: ‘These Are The Fruits Of A Completely Incompetent, Epically Incompetent Foreign Policy’

Downtrend  “Here is the President of the greatest democracy on Earth,” Krauthammer continued, “being lectured, insultingly really, in an American newspaper about human rights, about international law, about the protection of the elderly and children in war time. I mean, the chutzpah of writing that by a KGB thug whose last adventure in the world was to invade Georgia, to detach two of its provinces and declare them independent, and who for the last decade has been essentially supplying Assad, whom we are essentially calling a war criminal, with huge amounts of weaponry, including the elements of poison gas.”

Leno’s Opening Monologue Mocks The Obama Administration For Incompetence On Syria

Downtrend  "Last night on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno wasted no time in mocking the Obama Administration. He repeatedly joked about how President Obama and members of his cabinet have bungled the Syrian crisis.
" “You can tell Fall is coming to the East,” Leno quipped, “the leaves are changing faster than a White House position on Syria.”" 

 

...".Leno also loves to goof on Biden. Last night was no exception. “Vice President Joe Biden has been very quiet on Syria,” he said. “So at least some good has come out of this' .”

Alan Caruba; My Cold War and Now Yours

Warning Signs

 

"The historian, John Lewis Gaddis, author of “The Cold War”, noted that “By the end of the Cold War, there was little left to hope for from communism, and nothing left to fear.” Now it’s America’s turn to be governed by a president other nations do not fear and who is increasingly mocked by bad actors throughout the world."

 "Mentored in his youth in Hawaii by Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, it doesn’t take a Ph.D. to figure out why Barack Obama has brought this to pass. When that is combined with his raging narcissism, pathological lying, and incompetence, you can begin to understand the events surrounding the Syrian crisis."
....
"The events leading up to Putin’s editorial were the most glaring example of President Obama’s manifest lack of fitness for the job. Unfortunately, the only means of recall is impeachment and a sharply divided nation is not going to go there. We have forty more months of Obama’s destruction of America’s economy and reputation."  Full article.

That NY Times Putin column: What Putin Has to Say to Americans About Syria

Russia eats America's lunch

Humiliated by Putin   " "Putin openly despises your president," Russian political analyst Andrei A. Piontovsky told The New York Times. So why would he help Mr. Obama out of a jam?

"The Russian leader was following sage advice offered by a Chinese general 2,500 years ago.
" "Do not press a desperate foe too hard," advises Sun Tzu in "The Art of War." "Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across." If you know your enemy and you know yourself, you'll win all your battles, Sun Tzu said."

The import of all this and something few Obama voters- I'm sure- have not the wisdom to comprehend:

"Mr. Putin has been handed "the most spectacular public relations victory imaginable," said British journalist Janet Daley.
"Russia has been shut out of the Middle East ever since Egypt switched sides after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
"Now Mr. Putin is viewed as the strong horse. Our allies in the region are frustrated and fearful."

Obama's successor can speak truthfully of the mess they inherited from this  administration.

Jonathan S. Tobin; Obama Lost More than Style Points in Syria
"By demonstrating his lack of will to act on what he has rightly labeled a human-rights catastrophe, President Obama has not only secured the Russian base in Syria; he has sent the region a signal that the U.S. is a paper tiger.'

And I feel that is just fine with the American left. We get the government we deserve.

What Syrian Rebels Think of Obama  "AFP went to Aleppo to get the views of Syrian rebels on the Obama-Putin deal. Not surprisingly, the rebels are angry:"

“America told the world it would bomb Syria and then, when the time came, it got scared,”.... 

....“Obama has shown himself not to be a man of honour, without anything to say.” …

 "A man standing nearby, interjected: “Obama is a liar. He won’t keep his word. He said he would attack if Assad used chemical weapons against the civilian population. What more does he need to intervene and put an end to this slaughter.”"

The 'ShamWow Guy' cleans up his act

NBC News  ""The ShamWow guy," Vince Offer, has returned after a sex scandal to clean up his act with a new product, "InVinceable." It isn't just a six-in-one kitchen cleaner, though. It's a comeback.
"Four years after getting into a slugfest with an alleged prostitute — an incident that spawned a cringe-worthy mug shot and headlines like "ShamWow Guy Beats Up Cannibal Hooker" — the infomercial pitchman who became famous as an irreverent version of Billy Mays is launching a new product that’s supposed to scrub persistent stains. Offer says the black mark on his name after the hooker incident had a silver lining.

Jesse Lee Peterson; Blacks have lost moral authority on civil rights

Arkansasgopwing

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson   Most blacks have lost the moral authority to claim the mantle of civil rights because they refuse to stand for what is right.
As an example, the 50^th anniversary commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic march and speech looked like a Ku Klux Klan rally!

   ....

  "We now have a full-fledged racist, socialist president in the White House. Obama is no different than Jeremiah Wright Jr., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton – he’s just more polished and better at hiding who he is.

"Throughout American history, whites have played a significant role in helping blacks secure freedom and equality. We can no longer relinquish the civil rights mantle to liberal racist blacks. It’s time to take back our country and confront black racism head on, but it will take both whites and freethinking blacks, standing together once again, to get it done."

 

Actor James Woods; “Obama: the gift from hell that keeps on giving.”
