The Sara-Cuda Bites Us.

So Gov Palin is stepping down. And I have one question.
How the F*** does this help anyone.
Yes I still love her, and will keep the links on the right that go to her and her friends, but I'm pissed.
And unlike some nuts on the right I'm not pissed at anyone on our side who may have been ambivalent about her 3 years early. I'm pissed at the shitheads on the left who kept sniping at her long after "they won."
I'm also pissed at her.
Yes.
Why?
Because she is quiting way too early. This will keep her from being a serious candidate in 2012. You can not run for a high pressure job if you are giving up before the end of your term for a less stressful job.
The LameStreamMedia will not let the voters forget.

Well there is my rant.
I'm sure that somewhere down the road I'll change my mind 7 or 8 more times.
Stay tuned!

Thugs And The Won

Another wonderful smack down of the Won's foreign policy (or lack there of) from Victor Davis Hanson.
He show how each time Obama has tried to kiss up to thugs on the world stage he gets slapped.

The Great Listener is in the White House and:

"But so far the world's thugs do not seem to appreciate that new goodwill. Intelligence reports indicate that North Korea's Kim Jong-Il is planning to launch a ballistic test missile in the direction of Hawaii between July 4 and July 8. Russia's Vladimir Putin would like to replace the dollar as the global currency.

Most recently, Obama kept relatively silent for a week after the fraudulent Iranian election and the ensuing government crackdown against protestors. He was apparently worried about offending Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the mullahs above him who truly run the country — and thereby making it more difficult to negotiate once the resistance was put down."

This is lost in the echo chanber that is the LameStream Media.
"Obama is doing great things."
"All of these problems are the fault of Bush."
"Yada Yada Ya."

He gives a rundown of the things that soemone should do when comfronted with thugs.
He does it in such a way that even a troll could understand. If they could read.

He ends with this:

"So, Mr. President, do not talk to a thug unless you absolutely have to. Do not apologize to — or put our trust in — one. And whenever people rise up against a thug, speak out immediately and forcefully on their behalf — and let the thug, not America, worry about the consequences of the spread of freedom."

I wish I could have said this, but then again I'm not VDH.
Thank G-d someone is.

Tyranny V. Liberty

Mark Levin's new book "Liberty and Tyranny" is amazing.
I'm about halfway thru and well I can't wait to finish it and start reading it again.
He presents the issues that divide the Conservative from the Statist (his word, and now my word) with facts and true black and white differences.
There is no wiggle room.
Quote / UnQoute Conservatives who support the power of the state over the individual are given a backhand with the facts.
The Constition is his framework and he keeps showing how since FDR the Statists has added more and more power, while the Original Intent of the Constition is lost.

I'll let you know what I think when I'm done, but I don't see a major turnabout in my love of this book so far.
