Bloodthirsty Liberal

That’s okay, Barack, you’ll get ‘em next time:

Another day, another congressional shutout of O’s latest unserious gimmick. That makes three in the past year. The Senate torpedoed his last budget 97-0 in May 2011, then the House dropped a goose egg on him in March with a robust 414-0 tally. Now this.

610-0:

Republicans forced the vote by offering the president’s plan on the Senate floor.

Democrats disputed that it was actually the president’s plan, arguing that the slim amendment didn’t actually match Mr. Obama’s budget document, which ran thousands of pages. But Republicans said they used all of the president’s numbers in the proposal, so it faithfully represented his plan.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, even challenged Democrats to point out any errors in the numbers and he would correct them — a challenge no Democrats took up…

The White House has held its proposal out as a “balanced approach” to beginning to rein in deficits. It calls for tax increases to begin to offset higher spending, and would begin to level off debt as a percentage of the economy by 2022. It would produce $6.4 trillion in new deficits over that time.

…

Said Mitch McConnell of Reid’s refusal to offer his own budget, “They’re so unserious they won’t even vote for a budget that was written by a president of their own party. It doesn’t get more irresponsible than that.”

I didn’t know what to do with this story as a stand-alone—but it fits here:

Democratic leaders have defiantly refused to lay out their own vision for how to deal with federal debt and spending, arguing that last summer’s debt-ceiling deal essentially serves as an actual budget. While a budget resolution is non-binding, they say, the Budget Control Act was signed into law.

But a few centrists in the 53-member Democratic conference expressed frustration with their party’s budget inaction.

“Anything we can do to force the Senate to deal with the debt is important to do, and the sooner the better,” Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who caucuses with Democrats, told POLITICO. “I don’t think [Democrats] will offer their own budget and I’m disappointed in that.”

Freshman Sen. Joe Manchin has often said he would have been “impeached” if he failed to produce a budget as West Virginia governor, though he conceded there are differences between the state and Senate budget processes.

“Sure I have a problem with [failing to offer a budget]. As a former governor, my responsibility was to put a budget forward and balance it, so anyone who comes from the executive mindset has a problem with that. I don’t care if you’re Democrat or Republican,” Manchin said in an interview.

I don’t know if two Democrats (one technically an Independent) qualifies as “a few”, but I take the point. While the Blue Dog Democrat may be extinct, there might still be a few in the remotest parts of the country that are genetically distinct.

As a former Democrat (for over 25 years), I can’t even imagine what I ever saw in these people.

Make Samaria and Judea (J-U-D-E-A) judenrein!!!

If you had unlimited resources, how would you bridge the gap between Israeli and Palestinian societies?

By answering that question in less than 500 words, an iconoclastic Harvard graduate student from London won the first Avi Schaefer Peace Innovation essay contest. Joel Braunold, a 26-year-old whose background includes a stint at a hesder (Modern Orthodox) yeshiva in Israel and as a leader of the international pro-peace group One Voice, argues that Palestinians and Israelis should “unilaterally take steps that are in their own self-interest that further the chances of a Two-State Solution, rather than lessens them.”

Braunold proposes that Israel build empty towns in the north and south of the country – with housing, schools, and rail lines to reach major population centers – into which the approximately 30,000 West Bank settlers who will likely be left out of a final peace deal can be relocated.

Okay, show of hands. How many of you are uncomfortable about “final” solutions involving the mass deportation of Jews from areas where they are deemed unwelcome?

Just one hand, please, Saul…. Okay, that’s everyone.

And they gave him a prize? (Oh, it was Harvard.)

Why are some Jews considered kosher and others not? Why do some Jews enable their own worst detractors? This college student sounds about as lucid as most others, habitually toasted on dope as they commonly are:

As for the Palestinians, the Harvard graduate student believes they need to remain focused on the building of state institutions and infrastructure.

“Building a state is not a gift to the Israelis – it’s purely in the Palestinian self-interest,” he says. “But a positive side benefit of it is that it demonstrates to Israelis that they have neighbors who are serious about building a sustainable civil society.”

What part of Nakba Day (the 64th occasion) did this guy not get? Since when have the Palestinian Arabs demonstrated the least interest in a civil society? They name their parks, squares, summer camps, etc., after dead terrorists (the only good terrorist), not civil servants. Didn’t I just read (in the last couple of days) that corruption in the PA is worse than ever? (I’ll add the citation in a comment when I find it.)

Why do all “solutions” to Middle East peace involve Israeli suicide? Please, someone, name me one step the Arabs have made toward peace. One. Please.

It’s a damn shame:

This evening “Piers Morgan Tonight” welcomed Mark NeJame with new details on George Zimmerman, the man charged with killing Trayvon Martin.

Joining Piers Morgan for a live interview, the CNN legal analyst shared an exclusive photograph which suggests Zimmerman has black heritage:

“The man in the middle is apparently George Zimmerman’s great-grandfather. The woman above him, is in fact his grandmother who is half black,” explained NeJame. “And the little child in the gentleman’s lap, is his mother. So we see that he really has significant multiracial, multicultural roots.”

In a case ripe with racial undertones, NeJame suggests that Thursday’s photo may help the Zimmerman camp refute theories that Martin’s death was a result of profiling and bigotry:

“Talking to people that know him, I have changed my position,” revealed the guest. “People can come up with whatever conclusions they want. But from looking at the facts and the evidence, I don’t think there is a racial motive in there.”

Odd how this hasn’t been all over the news, as the original “story” (and I do mean story) was.

And another thing you won’t hear:

A medical report by George Zimmerman’s family doctor shows the neighborhood watch volunteer was diagnosed with a fractured nose, two black eyes and two lacerations on the back of the head after his fatal confrontation with Trayvon Martin.

So, if my math is correct, George Zimmerman is 1/16th black—which makes him twice as black as Betty Buckskin is Indian. (And infinitely more so if you demand documentary proof—but since did Democrats demand that?)

As Rush said today, if Barack Obama had another son, he might look like George Zimmerman.

Actually, Zimmerman takes after Obama a whole lot more than Trayvon Martin did.

Trayvon Martin should be alive today; it’s a shame he is not. But don’t believe what the media tell you. They start lying right after “good evening” (if not before).

I mean “evolved”! Read: “So Evolved”

Of course we all know what the winner was:

Again, Aggie and I support gay marriage (as recognized by the state—churches are on their own), but we don’t go mincing and prancing around boasting how evolved we are. No one calls us the first “gay blog” (well, maybe some unevolved critics).

But if you think Newspuke only went gay after being absorbed into The Daily Beast, you don’t remember. Senior correspondent Jonathan Alter had a book deal before the election returns were counted to deliver a hagiography on the first 100 days. I think it sold fewer than 100 copies, but they’ve been in the bag (his bag) from the beginning.

PS: There goes Obama claiming credit again for something he didn’t do (see Aggie’s post below). Even if Obama were as gay as Tom Cruise at an Elton John concert, he’d still be the second gay president. Abraham Lincoln allegedly got there (so to speak) first. (Third, if you believe the rumors about James K. Polk.)

The video which shows this beating can be seen at the link

Apparently, a 24 year old soldier was walking the streets of a very nice neighborhood in Tampa at 3am after his car broke down. He was set upon and beaten by three black men and one Hispanic man. Judging by the tone of the article, the police are completely stunned. There were surveillance cameras in the area because a neighbor had set up a personal security video, and you can watch the attack.

I’d like to think I supplied the “intellectual foundation” for these folks:

[Can we all get those t-shirts?]

Dozens of demonstrators dashed into the Loop building housing President Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters this morning, slipping past security guards and running up escalators as they kicked off what they called a “Week Without Capitalism.”

Eight protesters were led out in handcuffs about half an hour later after they refused to clear the lobby. They were cheered by other demonstrators who began dancing and singing folk and gospel songs.

…

After about 30 minutes marching and singing outside the building, the group tried to enter the building and reach Obama’s campaign offices around 8:30 a.m.

Guards locked the revolving doors, but protesters slipped through unlocked doors off to the sides. Some pushed past a security guard who tried to block their entry but quickly gave up as protesters poured through the doorway.

Like Elizabeth “Lie-a-Whoppuh” Warren, however, be careful whom you clutch to your bosom:

Jerica Arents, from the Rogers Park-based White Rose Catholic Workers, said some of the demonstrators had come from across the Midwest and would be joining NATO protests throughout the week. Arents said demonstrators are committed to remaining non-violent.

“We see NATO as using up a lot of resources in the city and the world,” she said.

Okay, they’re a little simple-minded—but no violence, no rape, no defecation. I’m proud to embrace these child-like creatures as Bloodthirsty Liberal’s Children.

Because they [bleeping] owe us money!

You’ve got till Friday, Mahmoud, or every mother[bleeping] mullah in Qum is going to wake up with his brains in his turban. Capisce?

An Israeli advocacy group won a $323 million judgment in a US court against Iran and Syria for supporting Palestinian militants that killed an American teenager and ten others in a 2006 bombing, the group’s director said Tuesday.

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of the Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center that represents victims of Palestinian violence said Tuesday that the group had won courtroom victories against Iran but never before against Syria.

The center was representing the family of 16-year-old Daniel Wultz of Florida, who was among 11 killed when an Islamic Jihad suicide bomber set off his explosives at a Tel Aviv restaurant six years ago. Daniel’s father was severely injured in the attack.

Darshan-Leitner said that Iran supports the Islamic Jihad movement financially while Syria had granted the group a haven to train in its territory.

US District Judge Royce Lamberth said in the Monday ruling, “When a state chooses to uses terror as a policy tool – as Iran and Syria continue to do – that state forfeits its sovereign immunity and deserves unadorned condemnation. Barbaric acts like the April 17, 2006 suicide bombing have no place in civilized society and present a moral depravity that knows no bounds.”

That’s going to cost you, shorty.

“Barbaric acts”? Surely he means “acts of legitimate resistance”. Let’s ask the victim. What say you, Daniel?

Oh dear, I’m sorry, Daniel can’t answer. He was murdered six years ago.

Even $323 million won’t bring him back, but if it makes a state sponsor of terrorism think twice about dispatching a mentally ill young man to set off a girdle of Semtex and hex bolts in a crowded restaurant, then it may buy us a measure of peace.

For Daniel and his family, it is sadly too late.

PS: How can we not keep in mind the “barbaric acts” committed by the Arab/Muslim world in any discussion of the Middle East? Aren’t they the defining acts of the region, of the “conflict”? How can one side’s olive trees or another side’s garden shed even rate a mention when these (and I quote) “barbaric acts” are still committed as regularly as opportunity allows? (Just ask the Fogel family or Asher and Yonatan Palmer if you don’t believe me. Oops—dead again!)

Obama drops his name into the official bios of all other White House occupants, starting with Calvin Coolidge. Except Ford.

He is nuts.

Many of President Obama’s fervent devotees are young enough not to have much memory of the political world before the arrival of The One. Coincidentally, Obama himself feels the same way—and the White House’s official website reflects that.

The Heritage Foundation’s Rory Cooper tweeted that Obama had casually dropped his own name into Ronald Reagan’s official biography on www.whitehouse.gov, claiming credit for taking up the mantle of Reagan’s tax reform advocacy with his “Buffett Rule” gimmick. My first thought was, he must be joking. But he wasn’t—it turns out Obama has added bullet points bragging about his own accomplishments to the biographical sketches of every single U.S. president since Calvin Coolidge (except, for some reason, Gerald Ford). Here are a few examples:

On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.

In a 1946 letter to the National Urban League, President Truman wrote that the government has “an obligation to see that the civil rights of every citizen are fully and equally protected.” He ended racial segregation in civil service and the armed forces in 1948. Today the Obama administration continues to strive toward upholding the civil rights of its citizens, repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, allowing people of all sexual orientations to serve openly in our armed forces.

Etc. Read the rest at the link. Creepy guy.

Last week, we reported that one of Obama’s human rights posse acknowledged the obvious: the UN’s Human Rights Council is so discredited by institutional antisemitism, it might as well try another name-change (having once been the Human Rights Commission).

May I suggest the Wannsee Conference II?

Geneva, 14 May 2012

Dear Madam President,

Following the March session of the Human Rights Council, I wish to formally inform you of Israel’s decision to suspend its relationship with the Human Rights Council and with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, both in Geneva and in Jerusalem.

This decision was reached in light of the ongoing, unrelenting singling out of Israel in the Human Rights Council, which has been persistent since its inception in 2006, continued through the review process, and exists to this day. The Council and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, respectively, have become a political tool and a convenient platform, cynically used to advance certain political aims, to bash and demonize Israel.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Aharon Leshno Yaar
Ambassador
Permanent Representative

Good for Israel, and long overdue. It is shameful enough that the American regime sees fit to do business with these jackals. Israel doesn’t have the luxury of lying down with dogs.

NY Times poll

Hah!

President Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women–and men.

Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch.

Ironically, Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent.

And here’s a surprise: Despite the media hyping the so-called war on women, no major outlet today noticed Romney’s new lead with women voters.

“This is unbelievable,” said conservative consultant Greg Mueller. “The CBS story manages to not mention the change in women numbers,” he said, adding sarcastically. “No media bias here — Obama is getting fluffy stories about his commencement speech to women at Barnard — so we better bury the reality.”

They are going to go ballistic if Romney wins. Should we stock up on food and bottled water?

Let’s see who gets out of jury duty because he or she is not a US citizen, yet votes.

Watch the whole thing. At the end, there are faculty members at U North Carolina counseling students to vote more than once in a single election.

We allowed her to overstay her visa for decades, turned a blind eye to her illegal contribution to her nephew’s campaign, and even gave her subsidized housing—against express regulations to the contrary. And when she got caught, we excused everything, as if her nephew himself had issued a blanket pardon.

No wonder she’s so sad:

Auntie Zeituni has written a book. It’s called “Tears of Abuse,” on account of how tough she’s had it.

Have I read it? Of course not. Have you read her nephew’s best-seller — Dreams from My Ghostwriter, I mean Father? No one has — it’s sold millions of copies, but until two weeks ago, not a single reader got far enough into it to learn that Obama was a dog-eater with “composite” girlfriends.

Anyway, I have the press release on “Tears of Abuse,” which describes Auntie Zeituni’s journey to the United States “where she faces the unthinkable; failing health and quarantined in a hospital while on vacation in a foreign country.”

Vacation? Surely she meant to say “welfare.”

“As her story unfolds she becomes a resident of (a) homeless shelter and a subject of deportation.”

How dare they! Just because she’s an illegal alien, they want to deport her.

Have they forgotten the immortal words of Marsha Coakley: “Technically it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.”

And if you don’t believe Marsha, just ask Uncle Omar, Auntie Zeituni’s brother, or half-brother, or whatever. Technically, it is also apparently not illegal to be driving drunk illegally in Massachusetts, at least if you’re an illegal alien.

“Quarantined” in a Massachusetts hospital? How many sick people around the world do you think would choose to be “quarantined” in this mecca for medical care? All of them, give or take, right? And how much, I wonder, did that set her back financially? Was she also under “house arrest” in the subsidized house she somehow received over other candidates, more legal, if not more worthy?

“‘Tears of Abuse’ reveals how this remarkable woman turns the unfathomable into triumph.”

Public housing, on the dole — what else would you call it but a triumph? The inscription at the base of the Statue of Liberty needs to be rewritten. Forget the huddled masses yearning to “breathe free.” Now the huddled masses demand to “live free.”

Speaking of “the homeless, tempest-tost,” Uncle Omar gets his driver’s license back today. I hope nobody at the registry is even thinking of slapping that $100 license-restoration fee on this proud Kenyan illegal alien assistant manager of Conti’s Liquors in Framingham. That restoration fee is for U.S. citizens only.

Howie’s right, though. Democrats don’t have the habit of reading the actual documents they favor. ObamaCare, Dreams of Barack’s Father (Wm. Ayers, author), I, Zeituni—no one actually reads them. They just feel them. You provide the abuse, we provide the tears. It’s a win-win.
