Seeing all the political insane nonsense going on today is enough to make your head explode! Between Obama’s blatant contempt for doing anything productive or logical, Kagan’s falling-off-the-left-side progressive utterings and weasling, and all the other socialist government expansion, you’d think you were locked in a nightmare of mortal stupidity. It’s frightening to watch this craziness. What the hell is going on in this country? What do these politicians think there place is? They walk around with total disregard for the will of the country. They mock their constituents like their place in office is secured by an unmovable foundation. There is a certain swell growing across the nation. November is forming to be a desperate and long suffering quenching of dire thirst. When people go to vote, there will be such a fervent changing of the tides it’ll more resemble class five rapids.

Its so dam obvious that the nation is fed up with the government, yet the dems and progressives continue to behave as though everything is as normal and carry on with the status quo. And the republicans continue to act like a bunch of spineless candy-asses. If ever there were few good choices among the available options, now is certainly the pinnacle of that dilemma. We need some big-balled, shameless, unapologetic, and uncompromising real people like Christie to take on these flagrant progressive’s who think they can rule the majority with their fear and scare tactics. Christie has done a great job taking on the unions and other progressive and liberal institutions that are bankrupting and destroying the country. If we had a bunch of Christies in Washington, we’d actually get things done and call out ignorance, incompetence, and waste.

We’ve got to get things rolling in the opposite direction with the elections in November. If we don’t, it will be terrifying to see what further destruction the dems do to the nation. They are already throwing out every liberal agenda and passing them like a sieve. They know the shit stick is coming and are desperately doing all they can before it slaps them in the ass right out of office. November just can’t come quick enough.

Despite the poppycock going on in government, there is a some amazing news! Noisy Dove is welcoming a new member to the team, Comic Dove! You have to stop by tomorrow and see Comic Dove’s first comic post. You’re going to love it for sure! Get ready to laugh your ass off!

Here’s a question: You know how the Left has been working away trying to sell the narrative that the Tea Partiers are violent and stupid? They sight what’s-his-name predicting that Obamacare will be Armageddon and call FOX and Glenn Beck hate mongers. They scrutinize a brick thrown through a Democrat’s office window and ignore the regular Leftist disruptive and destructive protests. I’m mean – shit – the Tea Partiers get out of your way and even clean up their own litter – lol.

I don’t know about you guys, but when I hear an idiot congressman on either side call something like the health reform bill – it passing or not – Armageddon, or other similar statements like, “the Republican’s plan want’s you to die quickly” I just shrug it off as an idiot politician who probably shouldn’t be reelected. And for the record, nothing about FOX or Glenn Beck is hateful, unless you’re talking about the far-left definition of “hate speech” which is anything that shines light on the fundamental flaws in Leftist thinking.

And no, seeing a map on Sarah Palin’s website with reticles over ‘targeted’ congressional seats does NOTHING to insight my evil side, nothing at all. More so, it makes me think we should all prepare and watch those states carefully, with the idea we’re going to bag a new Republican seat – which I think was the intention. But then, I know what a rifle is. It’s a tool.

In other words, when I hear a Conservative talking up conservative ideas, or talking down Liberal ideas, evencalling Liberal ideas dangerous, it doesn’t make me angry or have violent thoughts. It’s actually calming. Hearing Bill O’Reilly at the end of the day usually unknots some stress from my shoulder. It’s nice to have someone validate my reasoning in his clear, thoughtful, and authoritative way.

However, what does get my blood boiling is when people call me a racist because I don’t like their poorly conceived and unorganized reform bill. When stupid congress people equate the Tea Party to the Democrats protesting the end of segregation, that makes me mad. What makes me angry is when the leader of our country isn’t pulling the sides together after his victory, but instead keeps up his dismissive attitude and sets up his trusty straw-men in place of our valid arguments, all in an effort to sell his cheated-through garbage bill for the sake of reelection – that makes me angry. And when people talk about the “Fairness Doctrine,” oh – that get’s me pissed.

So here’s my question, finally: When all us crazy stupid Conservatives are pushed over the edge by our small-minded back-woods perspective, and start attacking people whose ideas we don’t understand, what then? Will we get the same treatment the Liberals want to give other terrorists? Will the Left blame the corporations for exploiting us and society for keeping us ignorant? Or will some sight our grievances? In the same way the Left demand America pull out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and all other “Muslim” lands and not draw pictures of Mohamed – will the Left demand we cut spending and not raise taxes?

Many people simply misunderstand the purpose of the public nuclear strategy. Liberal bloggers describe it like so: This is done in order to ensure that an all-out nuclear war isn’t created when so many other alternatives exist. (agreements ensure nothing) And then you hear Liberals calling up NPR voicing their indignation that the US nuclear strategy includes using nukes in any case for any reason – because we know how terrible they are now – it’s insane – and so on.

OK. I understand why the average Liberal might see our nuclear strategy like this. I mean, look at Obama. He can’t make a good move on either war or make a hair’s worth of progress against terror activities without posting it on the national refrigerator for us all to praise. And besides this, Liberals in general don’t seem to grasp the desperate realities or hard logics of war.

The nuclear strategy is part of the overall strategy of deterrence. In the simplest terms: If you don’t want the crazy people in the world to use their nukes on you – you damn well better keep them convinced you’re crazy enough to use your nukes on them in retaliation – immediately.

During the cold war maintaining this was essential. Likewise, enemies like India and Pakistan maintain the same deterrent check. Once Iran and N. Korea get there nukes, their neighbors will need nukes to deter them. Agreements won’t replace this logic, not when a war can be won and a civilization vaporized within an hour. (Remember, Hitler had that solid wall of democracies to his north and west convinced he had no designs on them, so they had no reason to stop him, until he picked them off one at a time leaving merry old England to fight the good fight by her self.)

Obama has decided it’s best to make some updates to the policy, primarily that he promises not to use nukes on countries not armed with nukes – with the noted exception of countries actively developing nukes in direct contempt of the national community, namely Iran and N. Korea. (Hey guys!) And he has no plans to update the current decades old US nuclear arsenal, but will be dismantling some according to future agreements.

Now the first one might seem natural, obvious, and logical – something that should have been included all along. Why would the US use nukes on a non-nuke country, besides Japan? The US and its allies have lived this past 50 years under a nuclear umbrella that not only protected them from nukes, but also Nazi-German-like conventional aggression, the kind made possible by tanks and trucks, the kind that can change the map over the weekend, the kind that Soviet military hardware was built for that every third-rate government owns. That’s why Western Europe doesn’t keep a serious standing army, the US is there to fish them out of any serious challenge to their sovereignty.

Under such an umbrella, only the truly crazy and brazen would invade a US ally. Sadam Hussein? Kuwait? Thankfully Kuwait was bordered with other allies and Sadam was so uncoordinated and weak that the US was able to push him out with one mighty effort. But the deterrence failed then because Sadam believed the US didn’t have the will to stop him, he underestimated, or rather we didn’t properly display, our crazy.

So why is Obama making such an odd change? Why is he compromising our crazy? Why is he giving the crazies of the world one less reason to behave?

Well, he wants to talk Iran and NoKo out of their nuclear weapons programs without a military strike, and thinks credibility will help. (Ever try to talk a crazy person out of something?) His idea is that, if he isn’t developing nukes, promises not to use nukes on non-nuke countries, and moves to reduce the US arsenal, the crazy guys will see the rationality in giving up their nukes. In other words, it will be harder for them to say: “eh, but you’re doin itnnnnnnnnnnn!”

If you ask me, this line of reasoning sounds like a campaign gimmick gone awry, like Cat’s Cradle fans starting a Bokononist church. There’s no way in hell Obama will earn a shred of credibility with the crazy leaders of the world, not the kind they respect anyway. And meanwhile Russia, China, and other rivals (possible future enemies) are updating their arsenals.

Again – one maintains a ready arsenal for fighting a war – so that war won’t have to be fought. We make bombs not so we can drop them. We make bombs so we can drop them, so we won’t have to. One can see how the philosophy behind this policy is dangerous. (deproliferation is another asinine topic for later, so enough with Obama’s reasoning)

The Liberals are going crazy over Sarah Palin’s latest Obama-bash in this regard. She equated the policy to announcing that anyone can – go ahead and punch me in the face, I won’t do anything about it. The Liberal counters, as usual, are nearly as fun an entertaining as Palin herself. They can’t point out any problems with her logic. They pretend she’s stupid without expressing why, and ponder if she’s just rabble-rousing. Then, usually end their piece extrapolating Sarah’s opinion into some radical view: She doesn’t agree with the policy change so she must want to go nuking some people!

Regardless, what I DO like – or love – about the policy change is the immediate message it has sent. “Ok – everyone without Nukes is cool. We’re not going to wipe you off the map any time soon. Oh – except for you two over there, yeah, you two.”

lol – Ahmadinejad is up to his usual mockery and N. Korea – well – N. Korea is being N. Korea. Mind you, I’m not saying I like the initial message because of the immediate failure of its ultimate goal – that failure being Iran and NoKo’s continues butt-slapping. I like it because it inadvertently told the two remaining spokes on the axis of evil that we got missiles with their names on them. Those two crazies NEED to know we’ve got all 14 of their probable locations targeted and ready for sudden abrupt zapping.

So Cheney has been busting Obama’s balls about national security. I’ve been thinking a little about that. Now – from the casual observer it can be noted that his criticism has been helping Obama by causing all the flaky and miss-matched Democrats to rally around him. And assuming that Cheney is indeed against the Obama agenda, it might seem illogical. It might seem that Cheney has some vindictive hair up his ass.

But let’s give this more than 1 and ½ second’s worth of thought. Cheney is a smart man. You can call him evil or crazy – but you have to admit he knows how to make things happen his way. Maybe he is seriously concerned about Obama’s approach – or lack of – to national security. Maybe he knows more about the situation we’re in and our ability to deal with it than we do – since it used to be his job.

Or maybe it is animosity. Maybe Cheney believes – as I believe – that a serious attack will be getting through –probably in less than a year. And if Cheney wants to totally cripple Obama’s agenda, his current criticism might be an effort in making every lax move Obama makes regarding national security starkly apparent so that when the attack does finally get through – when the next weaponized article of clothing operates as intended – everyone will know exactly who to blame.

Obama’s no more of a left wing nut than Bush was a right wing nut (which he wasn’t). I’m not saying he wasn’t aterrible president. He just didn’t try Laissez faire capitalism or making unions illegal. No a right wing nut.

Obama is a liberal democrat, through and through. That doesn’t make him crazy. If he were a socialist, I would call him a left wing nut, but he isn’t.

From here out, I’ll use the following definitions, just to keep things clear.

Socialism: economic system in which the state owns industry, and resources are elloted equally among the populous

Democrats: American political party that advocates financing broad social programs with tax money (taken disproportionately more from people with larger incomes), and greater government control of industry

Now he is in office.  He has taken over 2/3 of the auto industry (aka gave the companies money so they wouldn’t go under and take the Rust Belt with them), huge swaths of the banking system (the same as with the autos, but in order to prevent total economic collapse in our country), forced an auto CEO out of office (not legally, just with pressure), blamed the Bush admin at every possible turn for everything that is wrong in this world when his own party is to blame as much as anyone else (he’s a politician), he has assigned “Czars” for just about everything (democrat thing), is currently masquerading a health care reform bill as innocent rather than socialist (not socialism; socialism would make private healthcare illegal; the bill is democrat is a vengance), has told the American people they can’t do things on their own without government help (I’d like to hear a quote), and has followed a laundry list of historical left-wing actions including taxing successful people (the rich) and cutting back on military readiness and pushed through an unnecessarily enormous stimulus package that was twice the size it needed to be and created half the jobs it could have (again democrat, not socialist).

Calling Obama a socialist (aka left wing nut) is horribly unfair. It’s as bad as calling Bush a war criminal.

Diplomacy is negotiation in its polite form. To negotiate effectively you need ‘leverage’. In other words, you need something of value to trade. If you approach diplomacy without leverage, it’s exactly like negotiating without something to trade. And usually a negotiation without a good to trade is called BEGGING. But Obama seems to think his shear popularity and character will somehow win over the likes of Krazy Kim and Mahmoud.

And that’s nuts. Without leverage, for example, Mahmoud will certainly make sure that Obama’s diplomacy works and makes slow steady progress – until all of a sudden Iran is Nuke Capable. Then you, Obama, and anyone else who gives a flying rat’s ass about peace anywhere in the Middle East and beyond can go bake a horse-shit cake and eat it with big happy horse-shit smiles.

And don’t try to tell me Obama’s concessions and promises of sanctions are leverage. His concessions are like bubble gum in trade for a fancy car. And Mahmoud watched the election too. He saw Obama beat the hell out of Bush and McCain for their Texas diplomacy (following through with threats) and knows that Obama’s agenda relies on the softest Americans who will put up a huge fuss if he lifts one angry finger at anyone but the Republicans in congress. You can’t trade a goat for a camel. Iran sees it’s place as the head of the Middle East. Once it’s Nuke capable it can start more proactive work toward that ends.

That isn’t good for anyone. And the kicker is – Iran is ripe for the picking! They don’t have the bomb YET and their people are pissed off and aware that their president is illegitimate.

So far Obama has legitimized several of the world’s illegitimate dictators, emboldened our enemy, kicked our European allies in the balls, left honest revolutionaries (Iranians) hanging, and started letting air out of future cooperation from regular Iraqi and Afghan people. That’s not promoting peace. That’s promoting withdraw. The Left equates withdraw somehow withpeace. That’s also making nice with everyone. The Left also sees making nice, having relations with a dictator, as making peace. That’s all pacifist bullshit philosophy.

Anyway, this Nobel prize is just one more monkey on Obama’s back – one more thing affecting his judgment – one more screaming whining spoiled know-it-all hippy trying to tell world leaders how to simply and miraculously create peace – one more reminder of those things besides victory in Iraq and Afghanistan that Obama will be considering when forming a strategy for Afghanistan. The Nobel Peace Prize is a borderline insult/joke since Arafat and Gore got it. Why do we even care? Let’s put together a group and promote the hell out of it until we seem credible – then throw awards at people who seem to support our type of thinking.

You know, this Obama-diplomacy sounds really nice when you’ve got a Texan chasing anyone who wants to harm you to the ends of the earth. But once Obama is in charge you start to see how the pretty words don’t quite fit into the filthy world. Theworld still hates us. The terrorists are still trying to destroy our society. And – well – our foreign policy is exactly the same as it was under Bush; except we have a fancy-talker goin round resetting our belligerent past efforts to pull the world back from the brink of chaos.

[Michele Moore chimes in] “Pull the world back from chaos? You’re kidding right? America is the one going around and causing the chaos. Just look at the financial crisis. That’s all due to the evil of capitalism and greed. Look at how industry gives jobs to people in developing countries to supply America with goods those workers can’t afford. We need to impeach Obama and elect Hugo Chavez. “

The Nobel Peace prize thing knocked me on my ass this morning, until I realized it was based on his single accomplishment: Becoming President. I’m not sure what it has to do with actual accomplishments in furthering peace. If anything his efforts are telling our enemy that we might give up soon, and telling Iraqis and Afghans that they should keep playing both sides, which is just prolonging the two wars. But to some poor thinkers the reluctant-warrior seems more peaceful.

And I think it’s just plain ideology. Obama shared the foreign policy ideology of the Nobel committee. Bush was contrary to Nobel because he liked killing terrorists by the spreader load before they become honored martyrs. Obama’s conceptual foreign policy is the use of his charming personality to persuade irrational leaders to join the world community without the leverage of sanctions of military action. (everyone knows he won’t be attacking anyone. Lol)

Oh holy horse shit. Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was on the Nobel list and Obama beat him. That shit is fuuuuuuucked uuuuuup. Also on the list:

Two formerly imprisoned Chinese dissidents.

A female afghan doctor who fought against the suria law oppression of women

That Colombian guy who negotiated the release of those hostages from that rebel group.

I hate you world.

It would be very easy to make the case, looking at today’s leaders, and especially easy if you look at history and the most powerful leaders – that they were crazy or had complex mental problems including psychosis. Mao, Stalin, Hitler – to name a few resounding examples, listed in order of who killed the most millions of people for reasons of their beliefs (far outweighing any of those evil theist and their hooky religions) and for reasons of paranoia and general maintenance of power at any and all costs.

Mao gets branded insane just based on numbers. No one really knows but the “Great Transition” starved millions. Add to that the communist way of dealing with decent – you know, people complaining because they’re starving to death – exiling people to die in work camps or simply lining them up and shooting them.

Stalin wasn’t in charge during Russia’s transition – which also starved plenty – but he killed left and right. Obviously paranoid he sent whole armies to the slaughter against Germans just to take out a questionable general.

Hitler was just plain off his rocker. He somehow found lose in some of the most resounding victories with the most effective army the world had ever seen. He had mainland Europe wrapped up. He hadforces winning just barely in N Africa. So what does he do? He invades the USSR – an alley – for oil of all things. Why didn’t he give Rommel what the fuck he needed to take N Africa? He would have control of the Mediterranean sea = plenty of oil.

Hell, if you just took out the ‘delusional’ from his list of mental disorders we likely would have learned German in school so we could do business in Europe and Asia – because that’s what they’d all have learned. Think about it. Germany has been ahead or just behind the US in most technologies. Had Hitler squared things away in mainland Europe, secured oil fields in N Africa, and avoided war with the US – Russia wouldn’t have been the upcoming world power to challenge US. Russia would have stayed in their winter wonder land – held in check by the German Empire.

We might have still had the cold war, or something like it, but it would have been with Germany, and they wouldn’t have had the hindrance of communism crippling their economy. And I bet Germany soon enough would have been all over the Middle East for the oil. We’d probably be buying oil from Germany and the Pan Islamists wouldn’t be able to find the US on a map – if they were ever born. Shit – if Germany had taken North Africa and the Middle East they’d be one wealthy and powerful empire. And if anyone could take over the Middle East, it would have been the Nazis. It would have been Arabs and Persians into the furnaces next… They wouldn’t go fishing or drain the lake. They’d meticulously bail the lake into a sterilization system – metaphorically speaking – and move in some quality Arian stock.

You’d really have a hard time doing a parody of this speech. But then you could always just show this speech. Qadaffi is insane AND stupid. At least he had high praise for Obama – lol.

Health care reform is an easy thing to talk about on the campaign trail. But I think when all these congressmen start really looking at the complexities and size of things – they’ll start to get cold feet, especially with the political weather that has kicked up. In the case of broad sweeping naïve Change® I’m sort of glad. We need some reform in the way we pay for health care though, that’s for sure. The insurance model doesn’t fit, people get screwed, and so on.

As much as our conservative buddies hate it, this reform needs to include undocumented immigrants. Just like irresponsible people, people too poor but too rich, and people with preexisting or chronic illness – society ends up paying ER prices anyway. There is also the loss in productivity.

I don’t see how real reform will happen though. The left has unrealistic ideas bolstered by rosy assumptions. Republicans are scared to death of voting for anything that could possibly be labeled Socialist (gee I wonder why). Democrats wouldn’t vote for any of the Rep’s reform ideas, if only for the reason of kicking Bush in the balls. This whole debate is a prime example of the BS in democracy. To bad there aren’t any better systems.

I’m listening to Obama on the radio. He was sincerely defending the accusation about death boards. lol, if Noisy Dove was managing the administration, I wouldn’t let the president do silly crap like that. It’s sloppy pool. You always have to remember to treat insane accusations as insane accusations. Ever argue something insane with an insane person? Yeah, it validates their idea and works them up even more. I swear, I think crazy people just get ideas out of the air, and sometimes share them, uncommitted. But as soon as someone starts arguing – the crazy person’s rational side thinks, “hey, if they’re arguing it my idea must be valid.”
