With the Navy Seals played by active duty . . . Navy Seals!

Get on your knees, you mo fo’s and thank God that great men like these are doing violence on your behalf.

With Obamanomics failing miserably, and Obamacare not even cutting in our here in the Granola State, the administration’s reelection efforts have come down to this: Attack Watch — a site where you can key them in directly to any attacks, smears, or complaints about our Narcissist-in-Chief simply by filling out a little form. How convenient.

Bill Whittle, eminent Conservative thinker/writer/video maker has a post that encourages all of us who are disappointed with the mighty Obama to turn ourselves in, and then make our own reeducation identity badges:

So, here’s the thing: anyone whose sense of civic duty compels them to report themselves, and then make their own ATTACK WATCH! graphic will get it posted here. That way, the President of the United States will not have to waste all of that time surfing the internet to compile his Enemies List: it will all be right here in one place for easy re-education assignments!

So, I did and here’s my badge:

Just to get you up to speed:

Oh well — better get my own self ready to eat all those dang peas . . .

Sarah Palin is making some big announcement in Iowa on Sept. 3rd, so I guess we’ll know pretty soon. Most commentators are calling this her first campaign commercial. If so, it’s a good one!

What can we say?

For a third night the city of London has been ravaged by rioting youths. Progressives attribute this to joblessness and the lessening of social services. I attribute it to thuggery!

We saw this happen out here in LA in the early 90s after the Rodney King verdict, when South Central erupted into chaos beginning with the severe, near fatal beating of Reginald Denny — who would have guessed it, but the man convicted of mayhem in the Denny beating (one of the “L.A. Four”) was arrested a few weeks ago on suspicion of murder.

I bring that to mind so as to say, it could happen here . . . again.

We saw near chaos conditions in Wisconsin over the Governor signing the bill ending collective bargaining by state workers, and now there are recall elections going on today as Progressives try to undue what the newly-GOP-controlled legislature has wrought in their efforts to bring fiscal sanity to their state government.

The civility of the Progressive movement and its members in Congress has also been on full display recently with the painting of the “Tea Party” folks as the “American Taliban”. Yes Virginia, those mostly white, middle to older aged protesters who gather in mass, make patriotic statements and promote fiscal responsibility, and then clean up after themselves before leaving are a force to be deathly afraid of — according to the main-stream media and Progressive commentators everywhere. Those nice, family-lovin’ SEIU members and New Black Panthers who shut down state government buildings with their protest and intimidate voters at the polls are folks to be revered and honored for standing up for the “little people”.

To fully understand what Progressives want for our country, just mosey over and read their proposed “Contract for the American Dream”, which is a total nightmare for anyone with any sense of fiscal responsibility. Regardless, good Lefties just can’t ever get enough of someone elses money, as witnessed by today’s Michael Hiltzik LA Times piece, “Political leaders unwilling to address economic fix: stimulus”:

A new economic stimulus package is needed to put people to work for state and local governments and on public initiatives that improve education, transportation and quality of life. Without it, Washington will be ignoring the lessons of the 1930s.
{…}
In short, although the private sector had not yet stepped up hiring and the Federal Reserve was tightening credit, the government stopped priming the fiscal pump and instead took water out of the bucket.

The result of the new austerity was the severe recession of 1937-38 — the double-dip sequel to the Great Depression. Congress and the Roosevelt White House responded with the most aggressive stimulus program of the New Deal period — stepped up public works construction and housing assistance, and a $3.75-billion relief program.

The new spending evoked shrieks of dismay from conservatives — Democratic Sen. Harry Byrd of Virginia condemned the “present orgy of spending” and demanded a balanced budget and a ruthless purge of relief rolls. But it halted the recession in its tracks.

I thought that the position that Roosevelt’s spending was not what caused the end of the Great Depression, but for WW2 things would have remained pretty dour for a lot longer . . . might even have been the end of this great experiment. Hell of a way to clean up an economic mess, though — and not an option in this day and time of weapons of mass destruction.

Take another look at the photo above, and then think about the incidents at the Wisconsin State Fair over the weekend.

It’s obvious, for some out there among us, we’re only a gnat’s eyelash away from barbarism at any given moment in time. They don’t really need a reason . . . they just have to be in the mood.

Weinergate. The very word makes one giggle like a grade-schooler . . . by junior high we had more “manly” words for our little fellas. Representative Anthony Weiner sure seems to be proud of his so we are giving him the coveted “Head Up the ‘ol Wazzoo Award” for how he’s handled his, uh, little problem. Apparently he likes to take underwear pics of it, too . . . although he doesn’t seem to be able to keep track of what happens to them afterwards. But wait, if you don’t listen to talk radio, or watch Fox News, you might not even know what this is about. Kind of like when the mainstream media “held” the story of John Edwards hiding his mistress and using campaign funds to pay her off during his ’08 run in the Democratic primaries. Anyone want to speculate how that would have been handled if it had been a Republican candidate?

At least now with a Federal indictment and arrest of Edwards yesterday, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the liberal newspapers have had to step up and tell the whole story. If I were them, I’d have been ashamed to have been scooped and out-moxied by The National Enquirer way back then! But, I do digress, so back to Weinergate (giggle). The Left tried their darnedest to destroy Breitbart for breaking the story over at Big Government, but now they seem to understand that was a futility!

In his NRO piece, Is Weiner Being Frank?, Jonah Goldberg asks and answers the questions the MSM just can’t bear to deal with:

So when the busy Mr. Weiner was asked on Wednesday if he was the guy pictured in the photo of a man in tight gray briefs in a state of readiness the folks at NORAD might describe as “Defcon 1,” the congressman responded that he just couldn’t say for sure. “I don’t know what photographs are out there in the world of me,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

And, really, who can blame him? I mean, how can we expect him to be able to keep track of all his groin shots, either in his personal archives or out there “in the world”?

Can Justin Bieber account for all of his headshots and cellphone pics? Of course not. So why should we expect Weiner to know for sure whether that’s one of his pics?

It’s very clever and funny, so go and read it all! Hey, how about another game of golf for the Mighty “O”? Nothing really there to report, it just sounds funny to me. What else does the guy do? He sure hasn’t done much to help the struggling economic recovery. As noted by Jim Geraghty in a CNN interview, unemployment is high and will probably remain so next year.

I tried to point out that this is a central point of the traditional argument of challengers against presidential incumbents: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” For eight years, Democrats painted the Bush years, with their 4 to 6 percent unemployment, as the bad old days of economic deprivation. (Here’s a letter from Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle bewailing high unemployment and the tough job market in December 2003, when the unemployment rate was 5.7 percent.) Sure, Obama and the Democratic Congress inherited a tough economic circumstance — but with large congressional majorities able to pass the stimulus and the health-care bill, most Americans haven’t felt any significant improvement in their lives.

CNN lackey Ali Velshi didn’t like that observation at all, accusing Geraghty of spewing GOP talking points and saying that he needed to come to interviews like this one “better armed.” Gotta LUV the libs — “They can’t handle the truth!”

One last note for today, yesterday the story broke about a U.S. District Court judge in Texas ruling that no one could pray at a specific Texas high school graduation ceremony, under threat of going to jail. Evidently there is some sanity at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals as a justice there overturned that ruling in time or the school to have it’s graduation as it as intended.

Public prayer will be allowed at a Texas high school graduation after a federal appeals court on Friday reversed a ban won by an agnostic family that claimed ceremony traditions such as invocations were unconstitutional.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency appeal filed by the Medina Valley Independent School District. Its San Antonio-area high school was ordered by a federal judge earlier this week to forbid students from asking audience members to join in prayer or bow their heads during Saturday’s graduation.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Christa and Danny Schultz, who said watching their son receive a diploma this weekend would amount to forced religious participation.

The lesson in all this? Don’t give up . . . they haven’t won, yet.

It’s self explanatory — so just watch it already. Then remember to tell the new Congress to get the Bush tax cuts made permanent! It’s the American Dream, man . . .

THE AMERICAN DREAM!!!

We are still America — right?
