The Gelding of the President

Barack Obama has just joined the ranks of Yasser Arafat, The United Nations, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, and Albert Gore, Jr. in being awarded (as opposed to ”winning”) the Nobel Peace Prize.

From Pamela Geller:

Because nothing means anything anymore. Because good is evil and evil is good. Because we live in a morally bankrupt world.

Obama won what? This is embarrassing. Who's next? Bill Ayers? Stuart just pointed out this Nobel Fun Fact: This year's Nobel Peace Prize winner (Our Esteemed President, peace be upon him) recently refused to meet with the winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize (the Dalai Lama), in an attempt to suck up to China.

Obama has sided with evil, abandoned the Jews, the Iranians, the Hondurans, the Eastern Europeans, capitalism, individual rights, American sovereignty -- in under a year.

This wasn’t awarded for what he has accomplished, but for what anti-Americans hope he will accomplish.  Its purpose is to stoke his ego into “performing” as the world wishes.  One commentator called Obama’s prize, “the gelding of the President.”  The purpose of “gelding” in the world of horses and mules is to make the animal calmer and better-behaved, and more suitable to being manipulated into subservience. 

This is the purpose of the Nobel Prize in the case of Obama.

Actually, this is a case of transparent manipulation of an ego on the international stage – a bribe.  A wiser recipient would decline the “Prize” in this situation.

Time Magazine came out with this article:  Obama’s Nobel:  The Last Thing He Needs.  Refreshingly on target for such a left leaning publication.

Nazis are new US partner in German coalition

That is the moral equivalent of what Obamaniac wants to do in Afghanistan with the Taliban:

“The official…added that the president is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in Afghanistan's political future, reiterating what Obama said in March.

The assessment comes from an official who has been involved in the president's discussions with his war council about Afghanistan strategy.” From Fox News “Politics.”

So, did we get it wrong these past several years.? The Taliban is really not so bad? We will now suck up and partner with them to form an Afghan government? You have got to be kidding! Read this excerpt from Wikipedia:

In 1996, Osama bin Laden moved to Afghanistan from Sudan. He came without any invitation from the Taliban, and sometimes irritated Mullah Omar with his declaration of war and fatwa to murder citizens of third-party countries, and follow-up interviews,[97] but relations between the two groups became closer over time, and eventually bonded to the point where Mullah Omar rebuffed its patron Saudi Arabia, insulting Saudi minister Prince Turki and refusing to turn over bin Laden to the Saudis as Omar had reportedly promised to earlier.[98] Bin Laden was able to forge an alliance between the Taliban and his Al-Qaeda organization. It is understood that Al-Qaeda-trained fighters known as the 055 Brigade were integrated with the Taliban army between 1997 and 2001. Several hundred Arab Afghan fighters sent by bin Laden assisted the Taliban in the slaughter at Mazar-e-Sharif.[99] Taliban-Al-Qaeda connections, were also strengthened by the reported marriage of one of bin Laden's sons to Omar's daughter. During Osama bin Laden's stay in Afghanistan, he may have helped finance the Taliban.[100][101]

Perhaps the biggest favor Al-Qaeda did for the Taliban was the assassination by suicide bombing[102] of the Taliban's most effective military opponent mujahideen commander and Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud shortly before 9 September 2001. This came at a time when Taliban human rights violations and extremism seemed likely to create international support for Massoud's group as the legitimate representatives of Afghanistan.[102] The killing, reportedly handled by Ayman Zawahiri and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad wing of Al-Qaeda, left the Northern Alliance leaderless, and removed "the last obstacle to the Taliban’s total control of the country ..."[103] After the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, Osama bin Laden and several Al-Qaeda members were indicted in U.S. criminal court.[104]

The Taliban protected Osama bin Laden from extradition requests by the U.S., variously claiming that bin Laden had "gone missing" in Afghanistan,[105] or that Washington "cannot provide any evidence or any proof" that bin Laden is involved in terrorist activities and that "without any evidence, bin Laden is a man without sin... he is a free man."[106][107] Evidence against bin Laden included courtroom testimony and satellite phone records.[108][109] Bin Laden in turn, praised the Taliban as the "only Islamic government" in existence, and lauded Mullah Omar for his destruction of idols like the Buddhas of Bamiyan.[110]

Yes, indeedy. The Taliban is now our friend. Is there any wonder why Army chaplains in Afghanistan are seeing a huge upswing in troops who are confused about their mission and losing heart? This sentiment is typical…

“Sergeant Christopher Hughes, 37, from Detroit, has lost six colleagues and survived two roadside bombs. Asked if the mission was worthwhile, he replied: “If I knew exactly what the mission was, probably so, but I don’t.””

Does our mission sound fuzzy or inane to you? Yes, me to. That simply means our leadership sucks.

These kinds of unfathomable revelations are what cause normally well-adjusted people to consult with chaplains and turn religious in general. The astounding things in religion that require faith to believe are more solid and rational than the goings on in world politics - especially the goings on of the Obama administration. Hey, this may be the one positive "change" coming out of this radical in the White House - an increase in religious faith.

Pathetic Way to Run a War…

Mmmm, mm, mmmmm, mm, mmmm.  What a way to run a war.  Summon a bunch of politicians who know little about the military, less about running a war, nada about Afghani tribalism, and even less about Islamism, the enemy, and seek their advice.  That is what Obama is doing.  This is turning into the ultimate politician-run war – doomed to failure.  Dumb leading the ignorant.  What a bunch of dopes.  Thus is the danger of hyper-inflated egos.

U.S. lawmakers press Obama on Afghan war strategy

By Sue Pleming

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama told congressional leaders on Tuesday his decision on a new Afghan war strategy would not make everyone happy, while Republicans urged him to heed his military commander's call for more troops.

Obama summoned key Democratic and Republican lawmakers for a meeting at the White House to hash out their views on how to overhaul strategy in the eight-year war, where the military says the Taliban has the momentum in the unpopular conflict.

Obama told the meeting his decision, to be announced in the coming weeks, would be based on what he thought would be the best way to prevent future attacks on the United States and its allies, a U.S. official said.

"He also made it clear that his decision won't make everybody in the room or the nation happy, but underscored his commitment to work on a collaborative basis," the official said.

At the heart of the debate within the Obama administration is whether it would be best to send more troops to Afghanistan and work to earn the trust of the Afghan people or to more narrowly focus the war effort using airstrikes against al Qaeda targets.

Republican Senator John McCain warned Obama against "half measures" and urged him to implement a plan by the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, who wants as many as 40,000 more troops and trainers to fight the war.

"I am very convinced that General McChrystal's analysis is not only correct but should be employed as quickly as possible," McCain told reporters after the 90-minute meeting.

"There is no middle ground," said McCain, who lost the election to Obama last year.

Democrats countered that Obama was being responsible by taking his time to decide on a strategy in Afghanistan.

"We all realize the important decision the president has to make. Eight solders were killed on Sunday, one of them was from Reno, Nevada," said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, who represents Nevada.

More Asinine Directives from Washington

It is not enough that we are directed to read Miranda rights to combatants in wartime scenarios.  Now Washington is directing the emasculation of the power of county sheriffs enforcing immigration laws.  Enforcement of immigration laws is something the Federal government inexplicably refuses to do.  The feds are the ones that should be directed to cease their directives.

DHS strips Arizona sheriff of authority to patrol for illegal immigrants

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he will continue his controversial "crime suppression operations" despite a Department of Homeland Security decision to strip him of authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status, the East Valley Tribune reports.

“It’s all politics,” says Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County.

Arpaio will still have the power to check the immigration status of people booked by his officers, but not the authority to conduct street patrols looking for illegal immigrants.

His “crime suppression operations” are saturation patrols in designated areas where deputies would find illegal immigrants by stopping them for traffic infractions and minor violations, the paper says.

The department of Justice and other federal agencies are investigating the sheriff’s office on accusations of racial profiling during the operations, the paper says.

Arpaio said he will be able to still conduct the crime sweeps under state human smuggling laws and an obscure federal law that allows local police to arrest illegal immigrants.

A spokesman for the Phoenix office of ICE declined to comment until after pending agreements with the country are signed.

Wow! The end game of homo activists…

Ceasing discrimination against homosexuals is not enough.  We must stop our subtle advocacy of heterosexuality.  It is wrong to infer that heterosexuality is the best practice.  That might warp little minds.  There should not be any preference shown that heterosexuality is preferred.  What’s next?  We shouldn’t suggest that abstaining from pedophilia is the best practice?    Oh wait, Kevin apparently believes that, too.  Read below the video.  Is there any line against deviancy anymore?

Here is Obama’s “Safe School Czar” Kevin Jennings criticizing schools for using proms and Romeo & Juliet to promote heterosexuality.

Kevin has a different interpretation of what constitutes safe schools than most of us.  Of course, most of us are wrong.  He didn’t see fit to report a case of pedophilia that was reported to him when he was a teacher:

Obama's Safe School Czar Hid Case of Pedophilia

Everybody may have a different Idea of what "safe schools" may mean, but I would imagine many people who would include pedophilia in a list of things that make schools safe, with the exception of President Obama's safe schools Czar, Kevin Jennings.

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar." It's getting hard to keep track of all of this president's problematic appointments. Clearly, the process for vetting White House employees has broken down.

Obama’s most favorite world event yet…

Neutering our national defense is nothing compared to this. Obama can be so proud.

UN Calls for New Reserve Currency

Arabs Plot to Drop Dollar

Word is out. Level the economic playing field by getting rid of the dollar that favors the US in world financial matters. Obama must be wringing his little socialist, one-world equality hands with glee with this one.

“Chinese financial sources believe President Barack Obama is too busy fixing the US economy to concentrate on the extraordinary implications of the transition from the dollar in nine years' time. The current deadline for the currency transition is 2018.”

"Important progress in managing imbalances can be made by reducing the reserve currency country’s 'privilege' to run external deficits in order to provide international liquidity," UN undersecretary-general for economic and social affairs, Sha Zukang, said.

Speaking at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Istanbul, he said: "It is timely to emphasise that such a system also creates a more equitable method of sharing the seigniorage derived from providing global liquidity."

He said: "Greater use of a truly global reserve currency, such as the IMF?s special drawing rights (SDRs), enables the seigniorage gained to be deployed for development purposes," he said.

Wheeee…all of the Beatles’ and Rolling Stones drug-induced song lyrics are coming true now that the liberal buzz-heads from the 60s drug culture are advising the President.

And I wouldn’t blame the Arabs for this. It is our own consumptive, spendthrift, socially and financially irresponsible habits that are to blame. Let’s spend our way out of recession. Yeah, right, Bush and Obama and Congress. They are all spineless fools. They feel a need to keep the masses happy, despite the long-term consequences. And as long as we, the masses are happy, they stay in power and we all go down together.

Obama’s foreign policy: A possible positive result

Obama has done a lot of things that cause conservatives to believe he is screwing up our national security and relationships with our allies.

But there may be one bright spot. We are no longer perceived as being the lead defender of the west. We have relinquished what many perceive as the Bush junk yard dog mentality. No more “Matt Dillon” galloping to the rescue of the young maiden.

The other “townsfolk” now know they have to share the burden for law and order in their territory, their national defense. But the big question remains: Do they have either the will or the means to defend themselves? History over the past 95 years says they don’t.

Oh well. It was a thought, anyway.

On a related note, Yahoo News reports “…commentators on the left say the military ought to keep its advice private without trying to influence public debate, with New York Times columnist Frank Rich accusing the generals of an attempt to "try to lock him (Obama) in" on Afghanistan.”

But the military rightfully doesn’t want to take the fall for the failure of a political solution to the Afghan war. They are right to lay out what is needed from the military perspective. If the President fails to heed their advice, the failure is properly on his shoulders. No wonder Obama is dumbing down his definition of “victory.” He is preparing us not to expect very much.

Here is a gem of a quote from George Will:

"A presidential strategy is half-baked if its author decides it is dubious after its first collision with difficulty. "

Result of binding and gagging our troops…

Obama has his ways of provoking public sentiment against follow-through that would allow success in Afghanistan.

First, prohibit effective interrogations.

Next, prohibit use of of air cover.

Next, embolden enemies by showing our weakness through pandering

Next, inform the world that we really don’t intend to “win.”

Next, require Miranda rights be given to terrorist captives.

Finally, ponder for months about the need for a troop increase.

Any wonder why we just experienced the death of 10 US soldiers in the deadliest battle in 15 months?

It must be “resentment” – It must be “racism”

Of course, there isn’t any good reason why Rio de Janeiro should win the Olympics bid other than the world’s “resentment” against the US because of Bush.  Just like there isn’t any good reason why people would be upset with Obama’s naiveté in foreign policy, his radical past and continuing ties, his socialist/communist leanings and agenda, and his disdain for capitalism other than “racism.”  It appears the thinking of these people is so shallow that their own biased anti-American and racist thoughts bubble up to the surface.

Chicago torpedoed by anti-U.S. sentiment?

October 3, 2009

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter apallasch@suntimes.com

Some Chicago officials say anti-American resentment likely played a role in Chicago's Olympic bid dying in the first round Friday.

President Obama could not undo in one year the resentment against America that President Bush and others built up for years, they said.

"There must be" resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. "The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans. That's why I thought the president's going was the deal-maker."

No clue why he shot them…

Afghan soldier shoots dead two American troops

Shahedullah Shahed said “we have no clue why he shot them.”  No clue.  I’ve got a clue.  Could it be that Islam teaches them to kill the “infidel wherever they may be found?”  Sleeping in bed or otherwise.

Sat Oct 3, 2009 11:25am EDT

KABUL (Reuters) - An Afghan soldier on guard at a joint base with U.S. troops shot dead two American servicemen and wounded two others as they slept, a provincial official said on Saturday.

Shahedullah Shahed, spokesman for the governor of Wardak province west of Kabul, said the shooting took place after a combined team of Afghan and U.S. forces had returned from a joint operation late on Friday.

"The Americans were in the middle of sleep when an Afghan soldier on duty opened fire on them," Shahed said.

"We have no clue as to why he shot them."

A statement from NATO-led forces said two American soldiers died from injuries suffered in a "hostile attack" in eastern Afghanistan on Friday. A press officer for the Western troops said he could give no further details of the incident.

Congratulations, Rio de Janeiro!

The best Olympics proposal won.  Our household had a happy celebration this morning after learning that Chicago was eliminated first.  This was as much a victory for America as it was for as Brazil.

Maybe this will be a humbling kick in the butt for Chicago (and our President) to forego some if its corruption in favor of some character building exercises they desperately need.

Letterman: You can tell a man by the jokes he tells

It is one thing for a slimeball like Letterman to be blackmailed and be forced to reveal on national TV his multiple sexual forays with his staff. It is one thing for Letterman to frame his “confession” in a manner that makes light of his behavior.

But It is quite another for his depraved audience to laugh and enter into sustained applause during his public disclosure.

What a wonderful, faithful audience they are, lending their “moral” support to a man in his hour of need. Haa, haa haa! Isn’t he funny!

What a picture of our perverse, misguided American culture. I can’t decide whose behavior is worse, Letterman’s or his audience.

The perverseness of the audience reminds me of when a female neighbor some time ago wore a tight top with skeleton fingers grasping across her breasts, not to a party, but out in public. Ha, ha, ha, isn’t that clever! I didn’t laugh. But then, I am such a sanctimonious prude. Her “audience” was her mother who complemented her outfit. I wonder if she would have complemented her husband if he wore tight drawers with skeleton fingers grasping his crotch a la Michael Jackson, RIP.
