Tellin’ it like it is
My sister Sonja Schmidt takes us back to a time before America strayed from the principles of the Founding Fathers, a time before the culture of blame.
Self Important, Obnoxious Liberal Mothers In Top Form
Readers of The Silver State Chronicles know that I have particular contempt for many members of the class of people known as the modern American mother.
Yep, you talk a mean game about how hard your job is, and how important it is to be a ‘great’ mom, but the fact of the matter is you have mothered a collection of obnoxious, rude, self absorbed children. But when we look past the superficial tattoos and body piercings of your precious teens, and get a good look at the person beneath the surface, we actually recoil in horror that there is nothing very meaningful there either!
You failed at mothering, plain and simple. A visit to the neighborhood mall reveals the stunning accomplishments of your neglect. A legion of nihilistic youth with no depth of knowledge and no strength character whatsoever. All the talk in the world won’t undo the damage you have done. You’ve come a long way, baby.
So it comes to no surprise that the liberal activist group MoveOn.org had released an ad where a young mother tells GOP Presidential Candidate John McCain that he “can’t have” her precious infant Alex for his war.
Don’t be so sensitive, Barry!
Obama takes Bush ‘appeasement’ comment as veiled attackU.S. President George W. Bush lashed out Thursday at those who would negotiate with “terrorists,” calling the approach comparable to the “appeasement” of Adolf Hitler before the Second World War, comments that were perceived by Senator Barack Obama as a personal attack.
“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” Bush said in a speech to Israel’s parliament as part of the country’s 60th anniversary celebrations.
No names were mentioned, but it was widely seen as a criticism of Democratic presidential nomination front-runner Obama, who has expressed willingness to meet with leaders of U.S. adversaries such as Iran and Syria.
The Illinois senator was quick to respond by issuing a statement accusing Bush of launching a “false political attack” and stressing that he doesn’t support engagement with terrorists.
White House press secretary Dana Perino flatly denied the idea that the remark was aimed in any way at Obama.
Bush was referring to “a wide range of people who have talked to or suggested” we talk to such opponents as Hamas, Hezbollah or their state sponsors, said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
The comment also comes after former president Jimmy Carter held talks with Hamas leaders last month and pushed for the militant group to be brought into the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Bush’s lengthy speech focused on promoting the strong alliance between the United States and Israel, but during it he also took aim at those who make the case for negotiating with “terrorists and radicals.”
He said that when Nazi tanks had crossed into Poland, an American senator declared that if they had talked to Hitler, the situation could’ve been avoided.
Bush said that such “false comfort of appeasement” has been “repeatedly discredited by history.”
In Obama’s responding statement, he said, “It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel.”
“Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled and direct diplomacy — to pressure countries like Iran and Syria,” he said.
Since Barry opened the door by insisting that the comment was about him, I thought I’d do a little detective work and see why anyone would think this was about him.
So set the wayback machine to one of those 21 Democrat Party debates for some insight into Senator Obama’s approach in dealing with nutty rogue nations.
To be fair, President Bush’s comments were about negotiating with ‘terrorists’ and in this clip Obama is just referencing terrorist enablers. Close enough, I think, for him to have a guilty mind about this.
PS – That Democrat who uploaded the video of his question must be one of those fertile minds that dominate liberal ranks. He notes that Anwar Sadat had the courage to go to Israel in 1982. That’s quite a trick, since he was murdered in 1981!
My Faith in America’s Youth is Strengthened
Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers [D], wife of powerful Democrat Congressman John Conyers, recently had an immature outburst at the Detroit City Council. During her tantrum, she even referred to Council President Kenneth Cockrel Jr. as “Shrek.”
Not long after, Councilwoman Conyers had an educational sit down with a small group of young girls, eager to learn about the halls of government. During that session, Conyers gets taken to the woodshed by a smart and well spoken eighth grade girl named Kierra Bell.
Here’s to you, Miss Bell! Thanks for being the smart, moral, and mature person in this exchange! Please remember that not all adults are as immature, disrespectful, and foolish as Monica Conyers. When most of us do wrong, we don’t try to justify it like she did.
Thanks for holding her accountable, and congratulations on being her intellectual master!
EPILOGUE
Found this nice follow up story that shows that young Kierra Bell hasn’t let the attention get to her head:
