I'm Tired

The Old Jarhead  "...I think it’s very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less in an all-knowing government."...Hat tip to Jeff Hayden

Why All the Wounded Fawns?

Victor Davis Hanson "I think ultimately many "progressives," adherents to relativism, feel that the past furor over Bush in all its creepy manifestations was justified because of who Bush was; but that a similar methodology (or, in fact, far softer manifestations) of dissent toward Obama is unacceptable because of who Obama is (i.e. one can act rudely toward clearly bad people, but not rudely toward unquestionably "good" people). It is that simple."

THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS

Nealz Nuze "Can't you just imagine what this Admiral Willard must have been thinking? Here's this graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy listening to some moonbat member of the House Armed Services Committee expressing concerns that Guam is going to tip over. That was after he listened to Johnson's inane rambling about the size of Guam, using phrases like "least widest." Is there some sort of a medal we could give Admiral Willard for not laughing in the face of this fool? Instead, the Admiral, with remarkable restraint, merely said "We don't anticipate that."

Prescriptions for Disaster Now Covered Under Obamacare

Ann Coulter "At a minimum, any health care bill that purports to improve Americans' health, rather than trial lawyers' bank accounts, must include a loser-pays rule and a restriction on damages to actual losses -- as opposed to punitive damages, which mostly serve to enrich the John Edwardses of the world, and their mistresses."

It begins: GOP inching away from campaign to repeal ObamaCare

Hot Air "The thinking is that it won’t play well in some states, like Illinois, where the GOP’s got a shot at an unlikely pick-up, so rather than push some monolithic “repeal it” message nationwide, they’re going to let local candidates decide how much they want to push it or not. Which is politically savvy, but not a big confidence-booster in terms of their determination to roll this thing back should they get the numbers in Congress to do so."

Erik Rush: "The blackface of tyranny"

WorldNetDaily "First of all, then I have to say that the fact that Al Sharpton has secured sufficient credibility to be considered for consultation by respected national news venues is disgusting and shameful. In addition to epitomizing "the n-word," this is a man whose claim to fame is having attempted to frame police officers for a brutal felony in order to foment racial tension and advance his agenda of personal aggrandizement."

Sarah Palin Switches Parties, Becomes Democrat; Media Rejoices

Big Journalism "Nancy Pelosi said through one of her many spokespersons that “Palin was always one of her favorite governors,” and she was always impressed at how she worked hard to bring people together in a state as large as Alaska. “It’s a very, very difficult task to run a state as massive as Alaska, when you consider how close that state is to Russia, it’s great to have somebody in the party who has close-up, hands-on foreign policy experience."...."Staring into a mirror, Obama added that he could relate more to Palin now with some of the struggles that she had to go through as mayor of Wasilla, “It doesn’t matter how big or small the city or nation is that you have to govern, I’m finding that it’s not all that easy,” said the young, brilliant President as he displayed his unerring, puckish, and utterly charming sense of self-deprecation once again."

Encouraging Palestinian Rejectionism

Commentary "The Obami holler while the PA throws stones. The aim of both is to squeeze the Netanyahu government to the breaking point and shift the focus away from the Palestinians’ inability to enter into any meaningful peace deal (or, for that matter, even to come face-to-face with their Israel counterparts). The Palestinians now are certain that they can have both violence and a “peace process” in which the administration can be counted on to browbeat the Israelis into providing more concessions." Yes, we have become the Vichy French. And Obama is our Marshall Petain.

Congress repeals DADT- New rule effective immediately

Blackfive "Good Lord, this was a back room deal. I have said I am in favor of repealing DADT, but to do it in a midnight session is outrageous. They had promised a study and blew that off, input from the services, yeah just bend over and take it like men, and women. Having a gay roommate, get used to it. There were many things they could have done to soften the blow, but no they just rammed it home. " Uncle Jimbo April Fool from Blackfive!

Crashing Obama's nuclear wedding

Washington Times "First, how, as the president claims, will this agreement "strengthen our global efforts to stop the spread of these weapons" in Iran? The assumption appears to be that if we lead the way with our own reductions, Iran will follow. But Tehran is unimpressed. It wants nuclear weapons not because we have them, but because it wants to intimidate us and its neighbors."

Don’t Fall For Obama’s Energy Shell Game

Heritage "Go back and look at President Obama’s actual announcement again: he only promised new exploration off the Atlantic coast. There is absolutely no guarantee that any new drilling will ever occur. Secretary Ken Salazar’s Interior Department still has full discretion to never allow a single drop of oil to be harvested from these waters. And that doesn’t even begin to address the court challenges the enviro-left will employ to attack and delay the entire process."
