Bill Maher, Janeane Garofalo Explain the Herman Cain Anomaly

Posted by john lillpop on October 2, 2011 at 9:03am

By John W. Lillpop

As one who has been duly (and innocently) impressed by the education and business experience brought to the presidential fray by candidate Herman Cain, I find myself in a deep depression, approaching excessive misery, after learning that my admiration for the feisty entrepreneur is actually an attempt to cover-up latent racism and disregard for any and all black people.

The ‘real’ me was abruptly exposed by Bill Maher and Janeane Garofalo, professional comics who apparently moon light as practitioners of Abnormal Psychology.

Although they acted separately, both of these gifted clinicians reached the same conclusion: The mere notion of any Republican supporting any black candidate without malice of thought was just about the most hilarious thought in the whole damn universe.

And when said Republican is also a member of the Tea Party, the hilarity is simply awesome!

As reported at the reference, Garofalo ignored President Obama’s call for ‘toning down the rhetoric,’ in American politics, with these soothing words:

"Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party. Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same.”

Thanks much for that intelligent contribution to the debate, Janeane!

Your analysis is so profound that it will surely be used by scholars as a basis for explaining the irrational ObamaMania that spread throughout America in 2008.

How else to explain the election of an inexperienced community organizer with no discernable experience or accomplishment, with a Muslim name, and with an obvious disdain for America, than by conceding that “White liberal quilt” was to blame?

Garofalo’s liberal do-do was echoed by Bill Maher who vented about Rick Perry and Cain:

“Rick (Perry) started talking, and he sounded so dumb that now they're even considering voting for a black guy.”

Maher said of Newt Gingrich, "Let me put your unpopularity in context for you - you're a Republican and you're polling behind a black guy"

Once again, a liberal genius has helped clarify the ebb and flow of racial politics.

Indeed, Maher’s biting commentary helps one understand Obama’s dwindling support among African-Americans.

Namely, Barack is so bleeping incompetent that even blacks are considering voting for a white guy!

To assure that a repeat of the Maher- Garofalo meltdowns does not occur, perhaps black candidates should show a little professional courtesy and ALWAYS run as Democrats, just as God intended?

Can Predator Drones Save the Obama Presidency?

Posted by john lillpop on October 2, 2011 at 1:10am

By John W. Lillpop

Who would have imagined that Barack Obama, America’s Nobel Peace Prize winner and world-renown peace monger, would turn out to be a brutal killer of Islamic bad eggs?

After all, until recently Obama insisted that blabbing with our enemies, AKA, diplomacy, would eliminate the need for dumb wars and violent killings.

Yet in the most dramatic transformation of his persona to date, The One seems to have gone from Talker-in-Chief to Assassin.

Which proves just how devastating approval ratings in the 30s can be to a non-messiah figure facing reelection!

The president’s new image started with the messy removal of Osama bin Laden back on May 1 when Navy Seals invaded bin Laden’s ‘luxury’ digs in Pakistan and proceeded to teach the 6’11” freak a vital lesson about Jihad, American style.

The president’s newly minted, “Don’t Mess With Obama!” toughness continued when Obama ordered what was left of UBL to be dumped into the sea, without last rites or a proper Christian burial.

Even more shockingly, Obama apparently ordered Navy Seals to send bin Laden to the tender-loving-care of 72 virgins without first reading the brutal killer his Miranda Rights, a real no-no to people like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.

Then just two days ago, Obama added another notch to his holster by ordering predator drones to free the world of one Anwar al-Awlaki, Al-Queada Chief and American citizen, which is more than can be stated with certitude about BHO himself.

With all the modesty one would expect from a seriously flawed narcissist, Obama hailed the demise of Anwar al-Awlaki as yet another reason why he (Obama) should be reelected.

Surprisingly, Obama failed to mention that the policies and technology which bagged bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki were 'inherited' from W.

He did, however, crow with pride that ridding the world of another terrorist was a significant victory for progressive values; albeit, blemished, ever so slightly, by the on-going 'Fast and Furious Scandal' in which he may be complicit in the death of a US border patrol agent.

So, what’s next for America's Nobel Peace Prize winner turned Assassin?

White House insiders, speaking on strict conditions of anonymity, claim that Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and North Korea’s Kim Young Ill may both face time rocky times ahead, especially if the U.S. unemployment rate does not fall dramatically-- and soon!

Who would have imagined that Barack Obama, America’s Nobel Peace Prize winner and alleged peace monger, would turn out to be a brutal killer of Islamic bad eggs?

After all, until recently Obama insisted that simple-minded blabbing with our enemies, AKA, diplomacy, would eliminate the need for dumb wars and violent killings.

Yet in the most dramatic transformation of his persona to date, The One has gone from Wimp-in-Chief to Barack Hussein Obama, The Assassin.

Which proves just how devastating approval ratings in the 30s can be to a non-messiah figure facing reelection!

The president’s new image started with the messy removal of Osama bin Laden back on May 1 when Navy Seals invaded bin Laden’s ‘luxury’ digs in Pakistan, chased down the world’s most wanted terrorist, and then proceeded to blast the head of the 6’11” freak into a bloody substance akin to that of pizza topping.

The president’s “Don’t Mess With Obama” toughness continued when Obama ordered what was left of UBL to be dumped into the Red Sea, without last rites or a proper Christian burial.

Even more shockingly, it is also alleged that Obama ordered Navy Seals to send bin Laden to Allah, and into the tender-loving-care of 72 anxious virgins, without first reading the brutal killer his Miranda Rights, a real no-no to nut balls like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.

Two days ago, Obama enhanced his growing image as The No BS Assassin by ordering predator drones to send Al-Quaeda chief Anwar al-Awlaki to the next life.

With all the modesty one would expect from a seriously addicted narcissist, Obama hailed the demise of Anwar al-Awlaki as a significant blow to the evil posed by Al-Quaeda.

So, what’s next for The Assassin?

White House insiders, speaking on strict conditions of anonymity, claim that Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and North Korea’s Kim Young Ill may both face time rocky times ahead, especially if the U.S. unemployment rate does not fall dramatically-- and soon!

Herman Cain: An Exceptional American of African Descent

Posted by john lillpop on September 28, 2011 at 9:47am

By John W. Lillpop

Herman Cain brings extraordinary credentials to his candidacy for U.S. President.

As documented at the reference he is the quintessential example of American Exceptionalism

He graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and received a Master of Science degree in computer science from Purdue University in 1971, while he was also working full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy. Cain has authored four books: Leadership is Common Sense (1997), Speak as a Leader (1999), CEO of SELF (October 2001), and They Think You're Stupid (May 2005). He also authored an article titled "The Intangibles of Implementation" in the technical journal Interfaces (Vol. 9, No. 5, 1979, pp. 144-147), published by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences

After completing his master's degree from Purdue, Cain left the Department of the Navy and began working for The Coca-Cola Company as a business analyst. In 1977, he joined Pillsbury where he rose to the position of Vice President by the early 1980s. He left his executive post to work for Burger King – a Pillsbury subsidiary at the time – managing 400 stores in the Philadelphia area. Under Cain's leadership, his region went from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable in three years. This prompted Pillsbury to appoint him President and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, another of their then-subsidiaries. Within 14 months, Cain had taken Godfather's Pizza from 911 stores down to 420 stores and reduced costs significantly. As a result of his efforts Godfather's Pizza finally became profitable. In a leveraged buyout in 1988, Cain, Executive Vice-President and COO Ronald B. Gartlan and a group of investors bought Godfather's from Pillsbury. Cain continued as CEO until 1996, when he was asked to resign by the board. Later that year he became CEO of the National Restaurant Association – a trade group and lobby organization for the restaurant industry – where he had previously been chairman concurrently with his role at Godfather's.

Cain became a member of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1992 and served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996, when he resigned to become active in national politics. Cain was a 1996 recipient of the Horatio Alger Award.

Cain was on the board of directors of Aquila, Inc. from 1992 to 2008, and also served as a board member for Nabisco, Whirlpool, Reader's Digest, and AGCO, Inc.

Wow! This is a man who is running for office based on his abilities, eduction, and proven record of accomplishment.

Look at his background in economics!

Oh, did I mention that this American patriot just happens to
be black? An American of African descent as it were.

Because of his education AND practical experience, Mr. Cain has far more going for him than the color of his skin.

This is no intellectual elitist who speaks in ‘professorial’ baby talk which sounds terrific, but which completely lacks substance.

Herman Cain does not ‘talk down’ to people, nor does he woo voters with flowery promises of ‘Hope and Change,’ and other leftist campaign pap.

Herman Cain would never use the federal government to bankrupt American industry.

Herman Cain understands private enterprise. He HAS met payrolls and successfully managed multiple businesses.

Herman Cain would NEVER burden American taxpayers with a trillion-dollar stimulus plan.

Herman Cain would never promote job-killing regulations and higher taxes.

Herman Cain was a key player in defeating socialized medicine during the Clinton presidency.

Herman Cain would not make the closure of GITMO a major, or even minor, priority of his administration.

Herman Cain would never insist that terrorists caught on the battlefield be read their Miranda Rights and tried in civilian courts.

Herman Cain understands and respects the U.S. military.

Herman Cain is an American citizen and owns no baggage which challenges his eligibility to serve as President.

Herman Cain LOVES America!

Herman Cain MUST be on the Republican presidential ticket in 2012!

Herman Cain: Let's CHANGE America back to the great nation we used to be!

New Form of Racism Uncovered: Quoting Obama Verbatim!

Posted by john lillpop on September 27, 2011 at 9:35am

By John W. Lillpop

Some stories are just too silly to take seriously.

That would include the story titled, Was the Associated Press transcription of Obama’s CBC speech ‘racist’? at the reference.

The story, in part:

By most accounts, President Obama gave a fiery speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual awards dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, telling blacks to "quit crying and complaining" and support him in the fight for jobs, according to the Associated Press. But was the AP transcription of Obama's remarks racist?

That's the subject currently being debated after the issue was raised on Chris Hayes' MSNBC show on Sunday.

On MSNBC, the African-American author Karen Hunter complained the news service transcribed Obama's speech without cleaning it up as other outlets did--specifically including the "dropped g's."

Via the AP version:

"Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes," he said, his voice rising as applause and cheers mounted. "Shake it off. Stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'. We are going to press on. We have work to do."

How in the hell can any sane person allege racism on the part of AP when they simply repeated the President’s words, exactly?

Then we have the inimitable Maxine Waters, and thank the Lord she cannot be cloned!

As reported in part at the reference, the California liberal extremist objected to Obama’s harsh words:

Rep. Maxine Waters is angry about President Barack Obama’s admonition to black Americans to “stop complaining.”

The California Democrat insisted during an interview on the “Early Show” on CBS today that he wouldn’t speak to any other group, such as Hispanics, Jews, or members of the gay and lesbian community, in such a disparaging way.

Obama, speaking Saturday at an awards dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus, told those present should “take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do, CBC.”

Waters, a frequent Obama critic, responded on the “Early Show”: “I don’t know who he was talking to, because we’re certainly not complaining. We are working. We support him and we are protecting that base because we want people to be enthusiastic about him when that election rolls around.”

Earth to Maxine Waters: When President Barack Obama told black Americans to quit complaining, he was talking directly to YOU, darling!

Do yourself a favor and ‘Google” your name and take a peek at the quotes attributed to you recently. If that ain’t complaining, nothing is!

In fact, Rep. Waters, with your urgent pleas for Obama to do more for the black community, you have advocated, perhaps unwittingly, that racial profiling be used by the President to address unemployment.

Shame on you, Congresswoman!

Why Does Obama Begrudge Jewish Janitors Clever Enough to Be Billionaires?

Posted by john lillpop on September 26, 2011 at 12:15pm

Satire by John W. Lillpop

Fresh off his historic gaffe in which he stuck his right hand over the face of Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj at a photo-op last week, President Obama is going down a new and uncharted avenue of controversial campaign speech.

As reported at the reference, in part:

“While defending his call for the rich to pay more in taxes, the president said he didn’t mind people calling him a class warrior for merely asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew. Whoops!

The president meant to say “janitor” instead of “Jew,” and he immediately corrected himself.”

Although Obama claims to have been victimized by a slip of his own silver tongue, the truth is that when it comes to compiling ‘enemies lists,’ wise politicians try to identify as many “two-fers” as possible to keep campaign costs in check.

Which helps explain why Barack is on the attack against billionaires who are also Jewish janitors. With just one ugly swat, the president can sock two of his least favorite demographics: Jews and billionaires.

It is rumored that Obama is none too fond of janitors, either, but that rumor cannot be confirmed.

It is also rumored that the prez is developing a distinct dislike for Caucasian executives who make solar panels, particularly CEOs who demand government loans as payback for campaign contributions and who then have the audacity to go bankrupt within 14 months of a presidential election.

The One’s ire is also reportedly agitated by Mexican drug cartel executives, especially the really stupid sort, who kill a U.S. border patrol agent with a gun provided by, and traceable back, to Eric Holder and the White House, again within 14 months of a presidential election.

Is there any occupation-racial mix that Obama is generally at peace with?

According to sources deep within the White House, Obama finds nothing at all objectionable about black community organizers with very low approval ratings!

Opposition to Illegal Aliens and Amnesty: It's Not About Racism or Hate--It's the Math!

Posted by john lillpop on September 26, 2011 at 4:44am

By John W. Lillpop

Millions of American citizens are in serious financial trouble.

Consider the pandemic of economic ruin running rampant in our great nation:

Unemployment and underemployment have idled or undercut 14-25 million Americans. In the black community, the devastation is even more pronounced, the suffering all the greater.

Foreclosures and bankruptcies are at record levels.

Millions of Americans owe more on their homes than the homes are worth.

40-50 million Americans are on food stamps.

Young adults are being forced to move back into the homes of their parents just to survive.

New graduates from college are finding jobs nearly non-existent.

Skyrocketing costs for food, medicine and bare essentials are forcing millions to choose between vital medicines and paying the rent or mortgage.

The nation debt is at 14 trillion and counting, with no way out for the federal government.

On and on it goes as Americans are pummeled by the ravages of recession, and a government that refuses to take our dire financial circumstance to heart.

The bitter, awful truth is that America is broke.

Once looked to as the ‘Sugar Daddy’ for the world, our great, benevolent nation must now stand in line, with tin cup in hand.

The absolutely maddening question in all this is: With tens of millions of American citizens suffering so greatly, why in the hell are politicians, mostly, but not all, Democrats so anxious to spend money on illegal aliens, people who have no legitimate legal or moral basis for being here?

Why are Democrats like Harry Reid and Barack Obama pushing a DREAM act for illegal aliens when millions of citizens are so desperate?

What sense does it make for a state (like Texas, to name one) to allow illegal aliens to take advantage of in-state tuition rates? Are there no American citizens who are just as needy and actually worthy of such benevolence, in Texas and other American states?

With so many Americans unable to secure sustainable employment, why in the hell are Barack Obama and most Democrats chopping at the bit to grant amnesty to 12-20 illegal aliens, millions of whom are in jobs which should be filled by Americans?

Illegal aliens cost taxpayers $110 billion a year! A super committee of Congress is working to cut $1.5 trillion dollars from the deficit, and yet NO ONE is questioning the prudence of spending $110 billion a year on illegal aliens! WHY?

The once great state of California is perennially burdened with a shortfall of about $10 billion. California spends about that amount to support illegal aliens each year—why is NO ONE investigating this outrageous and foolish failure to protect the citizenry of this liberal-infested state?

Have our leaders all lost their damn minds? Why in the hell are state governments all across America firing hundreds of thousand of citizens while funding benefits of illegal alien?

Some will accuse me of immigrant bashing, racism, anti-Hispanic hate speech and other gooey-eyed liberal accusations; charges made to avoid accountability and the truth.

The real truth is that America can no longer afford to allow tens of millions of uneducated, unskilled, and non-speaking foreigners to ignore our borders and immigration laws while American citizens suffer so desperately!

That is not racism—rather, to quote a befuddled community organizer of some prominence, it is the math!

Time to heed the math and end the invasions of our great nation AND deport the illegal aliens already here!

Vetting Governor Christie on Illegal Aliens

Posted by john lillpop on September 25, 2011 at 7:27am

By John W. Lillpop

By ‘clarifying’ his position on illegal aliens and the DREAM act during the GOP debate in Orlando, Governor Rick Perry managed to insult millions of good American people (most of whom are blessed with hearts) who sincerely believe that illegals are a serious threat to this nation’s homeland security, sovereignty, and above all else, the rule of law.

Those same patriots also believe that any actions which reward illegals with in-state tuition, driver's licenses, and other benefits serve only to encourage ever greater numbers to come here illegally.

Consequently, as the Rick Perry candidacy smolders in the ruins of self-inflicted waterboarding, conservatives looking for a candidate with a strong, pro-America resume on illegal aliens have been forced to rethink and reboot.

During the course of that process, the name of Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey has inevitably surfaced and, because of his tough fiscal manners, the Governor is being pressured to ‘reconsider’ his non-candidacy for the presidency.

However, a cursory vetting of the rotund Governor exposes the fact that he is a flaming RINO when it comes to illegal aliens.

As documented at the reference, in part:

If Chris Christie really does intend to present himself as some sort of conservative leader on the national scene, he's got a lot of 'splainin' to do about his position on illegal immigration.

That phrase, by the way, comes from Desi Arnaz of "I Love Lucy" fame. Desi was, quite famously, an immigrant - a legal one.

Arnaz took advantage of the "path to citizenship" that was then, and is now, available to foreigners.

So just what is Christie hinting at when he tells Jake Tapper that we need a "commonsense path to citizenship." We already have one, and more than a million people a year take advantage of it.

What's he's hinting at, of course, is amnesty. But pols know the A-word scares voters, so they use the slippery "path to citizenship" line to fool the public. Are you fooled? Me neither.

But I love when our governor tells Tapper "there have been folks all over the map on this bill."

Yeah, folks named Chris Christie. Recently he criticized Arizona officials for attempting to do what he so conspicuously failed to do as U.S. Attorney - enforce immigration law."

So there we have it: Another double-talking RINO on illegal aliens.

Sorry Governor, but American don’t need another stinkin’ pro-illegal alien president!

Explaining the ‘Obama Wave’

Posted by john lillpop on September 24, 2011 at 4:40pm

By John W. Lillpop

In a gaffe that will be damn near impossible to blame on George Bush, President Barack Obama stuck his right hand over the face of Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj's just as a camera was taking a group photo at the United Nations.

Thus was born the Obama Wave, not be confused with the Obama Waive which is used to exempt campaign donors, political buddies,and extortionists from the ravages of ObamaCare and No Child Left Behind.

Pundits have scratched their heads week, trying to determine why Obama raised his hand.

As it turns out, the photographer had just asked the group a question as shown below:

All who think President Obama is the smartest person in the world and who absolutely adore him, please raise your right hand!

FED UP! with RINOs from Texas!

Posted by john lillpop on September 23, 2011 at 4:21pm

By John W. Lillpop

In 2010, Governor Rick Perry(R-Texas) authored a book titled FED UP!, which chronicles the Governor’s anger and frustration at Washington, D.C. and what he sees as the deliberate usurping of the rights and liberties of American citizens by Washington bureaucrats.

From all appearances, Perry is the quintessential conservative, the go-to man when it comes to poking holes in the flawed logic of moon bat liberals who favor big government.

Unfortunately, upon further investigation, Perry’s conservative credentials are blemished, almost to the point of extinction, by virtue of his very liberal views on illegal aliens.

At the GOP Presidential debate in Orlando, Florida on September 22, Perry said:

If you say that we should not educate children who come into our state for no other reason than that they've been brought their through no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart," Perry said. "We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. I think that's what Texans wanted to do. Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue. Texas voted on it. And I still support it today."

Perry’s outrageous statement made it clear that he is another Texas RINO who simply does not respect the rule of law and American sovereignty.

Consequently, I have decided to publish my own book titled, FED UP with RINOS from Texas!, which chronicles my rage at cowboys from Texas who somehow manage to steal the White House based on false claims and who subsequently sell out the American people to the failed state of Mexico.

Excerpts from my masterpiece follow:

Dear Governor Perry:

Patriotic Americans all across our great land are flying the American flag upside down this morning, at least metaphorically, to signify our severe disappointment at your performance during the Republican debate in Florida on September 22.

Our ire was aroused by your position on illegal aliens which we believe to be “naive, arrogant, misguided, and dangerous.”

At issue is nothing less vital than homeland security, rule of law, American sovereignty, and preservation of American language and culture, all of which are threatened by those who propose to coddle illegal aliens and reward these criminals with in-state tuition and other lures that will only attract tens of millions more invaders to our blessed nation.

Just to make sure that our views are clearly understood, please be advised that we the people are FED UP with the attempt to undermine American sovereignty, homeland security, and culture.

In short, we the people are:

FED UP with the refusal of the federal government to secure our borders at time of war.

FED UP when armed Mexicans illegally cross our borders and assault Americans, yet our government takes no action, and refuses to even protest.

FED UP when Americans defending the U.S. from drug smuggling illegal aliens are sent to federal prison, while invading criminals are to be forgiven via amnesty for violating our borders and laws.

FED UP with the fact that upwards of 20 million illegal aliens are currently in America, costing taxpayers at least $110 billion dollars every year.

FED UP with a president who orders thousands of young Americans into harm's way thousands of miles from home, but who refuses to secure America.

FED UP with politicians who refuse to enforce immigration laws and who claim it is "impossible" to deport criminals here illegally.

FED UP with illegal aliens who can not and/or will not speak English.

FED UP with taxpayer dollars being wasted to print documents in foreign languages.

FED UP with illegal aliens who dump their medical bills on the backs of U.S. taxpayers, but who send $30-40 billion a year back to Mexico each year.

FED UP with the fact that providing free medical services to illegal aliens drives hospitals out of business, making those facilities unavailable to American citizens for whom the medical centers were intended.

FED UP with our schools being invaded by non-English speaking children who impede the learning process of students who genuinely belong here.

FED UP with the fact that federal, state, and local penal systems are overrun by illegal aliens, again costing taxpayers billions each year.

FED UP with the fact that the overwhelming majority of felony crimes being investigated in Los Angeles have been committed by illegals from Mexico.

FED UP with politicians who refuse to round up and deport millions of illegal aliens who are destroying American culture and language.

FED UP with politicians who pamper illegal aliens with driver's licenses and free public services such as in-state tuition, which encourage even more invaders to come to America.

FED UP with the attempted Mexicanization of America. Mexico is a third- world slum, and we are FED UP with those who want America to be like Mexico!

Finally, we the people are FED UP with those who consistently work on behalf of illegal aliens and the state of Mexico, and against the interests of the American people!

Please know that because of your RINO support for illegal aliens, we cannot support your candidacy.

Regards,

AMERICA PATRIOTS FROM COAST TO COAST

Barack Obama: A Global Embarrassment

Posted by john lillpop on September 23, 2011 at 6:53am

By John W. Lillpop

President Obama’s ‘Peace Is Hard’ speech before the United Nations on September 21 put U.S. allies, as well as enemies, on notice: America the great is no more.

Or to be more blunt, Exceptionally unexceptional is us!

The president appeared weak, tired, and confused, due in part to the fact that his soaring oratory from 2010 has proven unsustainable, when compared to reality.

Scoundrels in Syria, North Korea, and Iran must have found hope in the president’s weakness. The obvious muting of American strength and preeminence will surely embolden the ‘bad guys’ to take greater risks, a fact that makes the world dramatically less safe than it was when Obama took office in 2009.

What will motivate Iran to abandon its quest of a nuclear weapon now that America is no longer interested or capable of providing effective opposition?

Why would North Korea bother to be more civil and accommodating now that the United States is run by a pacifist who prefers to ‘lead from behind’?

Threatening Syrian President Assad with more sanctions is a far cry from rattling a few American sabers in the tyrant’s face.

To Americans, President Obama is now a major embarrassment, both domestically and on the world stage.

Although George W. Bush often delivered speeches replete in broken syntax and mangled grammar, at least the world knew that America was a force to reckon with. And yes, even fear.

By contrast, when Obama speaks, the only fear resides in the hearts of patriotic Americans who are witnessing first hand the decimation of a proud and great nation by an elitist more suited for lecturing than leading.

‘Fast and Furious’ Scandal Explodes!

Posted by john lillpop on September 16, 2011 at 11:35pm

By John W. Lillpop

Much to the chagrin of President Obama and his supporters, the ‘Fast and Furious’ scandal and cover-up is simply not going away.

In fact, for the first time investigators have uncovered E-mails which detail White House involvement in the execution and cover-up of serious crimes.

As a result, Fast and Furious is now in the same league as “Watergate” when it comes to high crimes and misdemeanors.

Impeachable offenses may have been involved.

As reported, in part, at the reference, President Obama and Eric Holder are no longer able to block the inquiry with contrived transfers, demotions, and reorganization tricks:

“The disastrous Obama Administration operation “Fast and Furious”, which deliberately put guns in the hands of the Mexican cartel, exploded this week with new revelations of a cover-up, and emails which tie the scandal directly to the White House for the first time.

“Fast and Furious” was an attempt to intercept gun-trafficking that sent 2,000 guns to cartel operatives via straw buyers. Critics believe that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder saw the program as an opportunity to embarrass U.S.-based gun dealers, and help galvanize support for increased gun-control measures, while controlling where and how the guns would be “walked” across the border. But the operation went horribly wrong as the guns went unaccounted for, leading to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry last December in Arizona, and the deaths of untold others inside Mexico – all using guns provided by the ATF. Holder denied knowledge of the operation at a U.S. House hearing on May 3rd, but subsequent revelations clearly show both Holder and the White House had been informed about this program as it ran off the rails.

Now it has been revealed that after the death of Agent Terry, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Hurley and then-U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke colluded to cover-up the fact that Terry was killed using one of the guns from ‘Fast and Furious’. Evidence shows that Hurley – who knew “almost immediately” that the guns could be traced to the program, contacted Burke, and they agreed to cover it up:

In an internal email the day after the murder, Hurley, and then-U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, decided not to disclose the connection, saying ” … this way we do not divulge our current case (Fast and Furious) or the Border Patrol shooting case.”

As Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said “The level of involvement of the United States Attorney’s Office … in the genesis and implementation of this case is striking.” Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) are investigating the scandal, and AG Holder’s knowledge and role in its implementation.

Grassley’s office on Thursday also revealed that 21 more Fast and Furious guns have been found at violent crime scenes in Mexico. That is up from 11 the agency admitted just last month, and Grassley said he can only imagine the carnage that will be shown to have been made possible by the thousands of guns put into the hands of criminals by the Obama Administration.

Grassley and Issa also Thursday asked Justice for “interviews, emails, memos and even hand-written notes from members of the U.S. attorney’s office” involved with ‘Fast and Furious’. Thus far, Holder’s arrogant department has stonewalled, deceived and provided censored testimony, when it even responds.

And now, for the first time, evidence that the White House – which had denied knowledge of the operation – did in fact know about the scandal. At least three national security officials in the White House were briefed to some extent on the operation:

The supervisor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation in Phoenix specifically mentioned Fast and Furious in at least one email to a White House national security official, and two other White House colleagues were briefed on reports from the supervisor, according to White House emails and a senior administration official.

The White House denies that they were informed of the operation’s “covert investigative tactics”, which sounds an awful lot like parsing to avoid legal jeopardy.

Where is the national media on this? During the Watergate scandal, the nation came to a screeching halt while the media expended unlimited resources exposing the debacle – no detail was too small to be exposed.

With “Fast and Furious”? Crickets. Sure, they’ll mention new details when leaked to them, or notable testimony from a House hearing. But unlike Watergate, the national media will not put dedicated reporters on the trail to dig up the whole story. Even when the Attorney General is caught in a lie – under oath. Even White House is now proven to have been in the loop all along – despite their denials.

And no one was killed from Watergate.

Hey media: do your damn job. If not for us, then do it for him…”

Unfortunately, the liberal media is still mesmerized by the Obama mystique and the “thrill” that The One causes to run up and down the legs of alleged journalists.

That means that the media will most likely be a part of the cover up, rather than an objective seeker of truth.

Still, the US House is in the hands of Republicans who will persist until the question, “What did Obama know and when did he know it?” is answered satisfactorily!

Barack Obama and Erick Holder MUST be held accountable.

Period!

James Carville’s Sage Advise for Obama: PANIC!

Posted by john lillpop on September 15, 2011 at 8:27pm

By John W. Lillpop

How badly are things going for Barack Obama?

Back in 2009, James Carville, the ‘Ragin’ Cajun’ from Louisiana, boldly predicted that the election of Barack Obama and majority-Democrat bodies in the U.S. House and Senate meant that America was owned and occupied by progressives for at least the next 40 years.

Nearly three years later, with America in shambles and Obama sporting unimaginable disapproval ratings, Carville’s Ragin’ has a new perspective: PANIC!

As reported at the reference, in part, Carville pulled no punches:

“In the last six months it seems people’s perception of our economic woes changed from something akin to a downslope in a roller coaster—with an uptick surely ahead—to a new flat landscape depressed at a lower elevation indefinitely in front of us. There was the nagging sense that this is the “new normal.” Panic started to set in.

Panic set in for everyone except the president, it seemed. Obama’s signature cool-headed style in times of economic crisis seems to simply fall short of the sense of urgency people expect. This morning Bill Clinton’s former adviser James Carville has a message for the president: it’s time to panic.

“This may be news to you but this is not going well,” Carville says. “For precedent, see Russian Army 64th division at Stalingrad.”

Suddenly a field of “unelectable” Republicans is starting to seem formidable, if for no other reason that in times like these, voters will go for anything other than the status quo. “What should the White House do now?” he asks. “One word came to mind: Panic.”

And it seems there’s statistical evidence to back up Carville’s sentiment. Politico today reports that recent a poll of voters in Democratic-dominated district in New York City found just 43 percent approval rating on Sept. 9 and 31 percent on Sept. 11. By contrast, the poll found 75% approval for New York’s Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo. “It is not per se a Democratic problem, it’s a problem with this president,” concluded the polling firm Siena Research.

Carville’s advice? Start firing people, and start indicting people.”

Great advise James, except you have overlooked one potential action that could save the day for America, if not for our beleaguered and overmatched community organizer:

That would be RESIGN, Mr. President.

Doing so now would convince historians that you were a genuine patriot concerned mostly about the nation, rather than the arrogant, ill-informed snot that you really are.

Take Joe Biden with you and let John Boehner ascend to your seat in the Oval Office.

Unless Obama resigns, he may be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors for abuse of power in the war in Libya, the scandals of “Fast and Furious” and Solyndra.

Then there is always the possibility that Ralph Nader will challenge Obama from the left side of insanity.

Any way you look at it, the next 460 days for Obama do not portend good times. Time to pass the torch to real Americans, Mr. President.

Do it for the children.

What If Barack Obama Had Been President on 9/11/01?

Posted by john lillpop on September 9, 2011 at 8:34pm

By John W. Lillpop

How much different would America be today if Barack Obama had been president on September 11, 2001?

To begin with, he would have held an urgent press conference on the morning of September 11 to assure leaders of Muslim nations that America accepts the fact that U.S. policy in the past has often been wrong, dumb, and based on Islamaphobia.

He would even leave open the possibility that U.S. policy caused 9/11.

He would declare, emphatically, that America is NOT a Christian nation and that there would be no military retaliation against any Muslim group or nation. America is not at war with Islam, he would cry.

He would offer to personally meet with Osama bin Laden and his top Al-Quaeda staff for a chance to get to know Osama bin Laden and Al-Quaeda better and to incorporate their concerns into future American foreign policy.

He would declare that, effective immediately, diplomacy, compassion, and understanding were to replace aggression as the “American Way” to conduct foreign policy.

He would order an investigation into the 9/11 attacks to determine if Israel was behind the attacks in a cowardly attempt to discredit those who practice the Religion of Peace.

He would suspend all economic and military aid to Israel until the Israel investigation was complete.

He would rule out any military retaliation for the attacks, declaring that monies required to run a respectable war were desperately needed to provide free health care, housing, education, and general welfare for millions of “Newly Arrived Refuges,” also known by patriotic Americans as illegal aliens.

With that as a base, how would America look ten years later on 9/11/11?

President Obama would be serving his fourth term as president of the Union of Socialist American States (USAS) which would include Canada and Mexico.

Sharia would be the law of the land.

All legal and legislative proceedings in America would be conducted in Arabic and Spanish. Proceedings could be translated into English for a fee,

The rallying cry, “Let’s Roll” would be declared a call for violence against Muslims and would be a federal felony on a par with treason.

The Star Spangled Banner would be declared too violent to be our national anthem and would be replaced by “Imagine,” written by the late, John Lennon

Barack Obama: Thank God He Was NOT president on 9/11/01.

Greed Runs Amuck as Union Members Authorize STRIKE Against Ford!

Posted by john lillpop on September 9, 2011 at 7:49am

By John W. Lillpop

With 14-26 million Americans unemployed and or underemployed, one would expect an ‘attitude of gratitude’ among workers still holding jobs, especially those being paid an average of $58 per hour.

However, unionized auto workers in Detroit have grown accustomed to enjoying unreasonable wages and benefits, courtesy of thugs who operate the United Auto Workers union.

So what if the unemployment rate is 9.1 percent?

Who cares if America is plunging into a double-dip recession?

Only a fool would fall for the propaganda which admonishes those doing well to ‘pay their fair share.”

With that brazen disregard for the facts, the UAW has authorized a strike against Ford Motors, as reported, in part, at the reference:

The image of UAW workers with picket signs touting unfair wages is something that no one wants to see, but the possibility now exists thanks to a union vote that authorizes Ford workers to strike if negotiations between the auto maker and the UAW break down. While the issue of wages and negotiations with unions can be terse, this round of labor talks has a new flavor that we have not experienced in a while, and the implications of these issues may give Ford a negotiating edge.

When the government stepped in and bailed out GM and Chrysler with an infusion of cash, there were certain concessions made by the UAW. The bailout allowed the companies to survive and even revamp their businesses. It also prevented the union from striking against GM and Chrysler. Through that period, Ford became somewhat of a shining star by not taking any bailout money. Ford's reward for taking the harder route is that the UAW, in negotiations with all three makers, can strike.

This reason, while perhaps sentimental, is one key negotiating tool that Ford has in Ford's cap. The perception that the union will punish Ford, the company that did not take a bailout, would leave a stigma on the UAW that could take years to erase. It is the classic mantra that no good deed goes unpunished. This mantra is something that people in America are growing tired of, in particular because of the state of the economy.

A more fundamental reason that the author does not see a strike happening is the fact that Ford employees are the highest paid in the industry, and the "Big Three" have a higher average pay than many competitors. This makes it hard for the UAW to complain about pay, and even more difficult to complain that Ford is not paying well enough. According to The Center for Automotive Research, Ford has labor costs of $58 per hour, while Japanese competitor Toyota comes in at $55. The $3 per hour may not seem like much, but when spread over thousands of workers for tens of thousands of hours, the numbers get big quickly.

One compliant of the UAW is that merit raises and a 401(k) match were reinstated for salaried employees but not union members. However, the union neglects to state that UAW workers received profit-sharing checks averaging $5,000 in 2010. The argument that the union has is that this is a "one-time" perk and not the same as getting a merit raise.”

Thus, the media-created image of greed as a fat-cat, Republican parasite who thrives by not paying his or her fair share, needs to be updated.

Today, the greedy are dim-witted auto workers who earn six-figure incomes, vote straight Democrat, and are dumb enough to vote to strike when a bona fide economic depression is bearing down on America.

Only in America, only by Democrat puppets!

Obama Speech As Seen by a Common Citizen: Recycled Peas!

Posted by john lillpop on September 8, 2011 at 7:45pm

By John W. Lillpop

During the bloody war over increasing the federal debt ceiling, President Obama warned Americans that it was ‘Time to eat your peas,” a homey reminder of the difficult times and choices that this nation faces.

In delivering his jobs speech to a Joint Session of Congress on Thursday, Obama amplified on that theme with a slight twist: Time for recycled Peas, America!

As always, Obama was eloquent and passionate.

Regrettably, the president’s words, though terrific in terms of style and oratory flare, were more of the same, tired old liberal pap that has damn near destroyed the greatest nation in the world.

His words make it clear why America’s credit rating was downgraded for the first time in U.S. history.

His failure to face reality and assume a genuine leadership role explains why our nation has slipped to fifth place in competitiveness according to the World Economic Forum’s rankings.

For years, Obama has argued against the notion of American Exceptionalism. Through his failed policies, Obama appears to be making his point, much to the chagrin and detriment of 300 million Americans.

Despite the much-touted ‘Summer of Recovery’ and failed trillion-dollar stimulus, America continues to bleed jobs:

Ford Motors Company has announced a billion-dollar construction project—in India.

General Electric is moving headquarters of a highly-successful, medical-imaging business from Waukesha, Wisconsin, to China.

The U.S. Postal Service is on the brink of collapse and has plans to lay off 120,000 employees.

While a part of the USPS problem is the loss of business to the Internet, the major problem is employee costs mandated by labor agreements with labor unions.

And so it is all across America: Unreasonable pensions and labor costs demanded by labor unions are bankrupting government municipalities and private business alike, forcing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work.

Why, then, did the president fail to challenge greedy unionized labor members to ‘pay their fair share?’

Why not propose a ‘windfall profits tax’ on obscene, unsustainable pensions that are wreaking economic havoc from coast to coast?

Then there is the president’s mindless pandering to illegal aliens, presumably to savor favor with Hispanics.

With 16-28 million Americas underemployed and or unemployed, why is this president working to stall, or eliminate, the removal of millions of aliens who have no moral or legal basis for being in America?

Why the push for a DREAM Act for illegals when so many American citizens are suffering so?

American taxpayers subsidize illegal aliens to the tune of more than $100 billion a year. Why in the hell does this president refuse to enforce the rule of law and spare taxpayers this outrageous expense?

Most importantly, this president has waged bloody war against private enterprise and capitalism since he took office in 2009. His bitter anti-business, anti-American rhetoric has caused people who hire employees to retreat in fear and uncertainty.

His stated desire to use government to bankrupt the coal industry is a chilling reminder of how out-of-touch this man is.

With all due respect, Mr. President, America deserves better than your ‘recycled peas’ offer.

And please do not waste time blaming the Tea Party, George W. Bush, the Japanese earthquake-tsunami, or any other party.!

Perhaps America’s return to a prosperity mindset will have to wait until our Marxist community organizer is returned to the streets of Chicago in 2012?

Maxine Waters Demands ‘Racial Profiling’ to Combat Black Unemployment

Posted by john lillpop on September 8, 2011 at 12:18pm

By John W. Lillpop

Most liberals consider racial profiling to be immoral, unconstitutional, and downright un-American. Especially when such practice is used to prevent another gang of young, middle-eastern males who speak Arabic from repeating the carnage of 9/11.

Or when a state like Arizona tries to protect its citizens, of all colors and creeds, from being abused and harmed by illegal aliens from Mexico and points south.

In other words, racial profiling is evil when used to protect America from harm a the hands of people of color.

However, liberal loathing of profiling disintegrates in mid-air when the practice is used to bestow special benefits to, say, illegal aliens who, because most are Hispanic, deserve gifts like the DREAM act and other pandering.

Liberal insanity on this issue reached new lows of morality when Maxine Waters openly challenged President Obama to use race in deciding who has the greater priority for getting government booty.

As reported at the reference, Ms. Waters left little doubt about where her sentiments are when she asked, “Are the unemployed in the African-American community, including almost 45 percent of its youth, as important as the people of Iowa?” Waters asked.

Wow! If that is not a plea for government action based on racial profiling, then what is?

Racial profiling: An evil from hell—unless you stand to profit!

How Obama Can Save 120,000 Jobs Without Spending Money!

Posted by john lillpop on September 8, 2011 at 2:24am

!

By John W. Lillpop

Thursday is a HUGE day in America. That is because the New Orleans Saints take on the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

Are you ready for some football, America?

Oh, and before the start of the football game, President Obama is going to waste valuable television time trying to convince Congress and the American people that he has some magical formula for creating jobs.

My question to the president: If you have any workable ideas for fixing the wretched economy (which you made all the worse) why in Hades have you waited nearly three years to speak up?

After all, in 2009 and 2010, you owned both chambers of Congress and could have passed damn near anything.

Why in the world did you waste close to a trillion dollars on the so-called ‘stimulus’ failure if you had a better plan in your mind?

Of course, the truth is that Obama will serve up 535 plates of rehashed peas that will call for MORE spending, but NOT stimulus, that will raise the deficit even more!

He will promise to reimburse treasury once the economy is ‘jump started,’ a story not unlike that told by an alcoholic uncle who promised to swear off the sauce forever if we could just lend him a $1,000. to get back on his wobbly feet.

Forget it—its called enabling and the last thing ding bat, addicted-to-spending Democrats need is another $300 billion to waste!

There is, however, a way in which Obama can show leadership in righting America’s financial ship.

Specifically, the U.S. Postal Service is about to go belly up, and may default on a $5.5 billion dollar obligation to employee pension funds. Things are so bad that the USPS is talking about laying off 120,000 people!

While a part of the USPS problem is the loss of business to the Internet, the major problem is employee costs as set forth in labor agreements with labor unions.

Those agreements are simply unsustainable in the current environment. USPS management needs to be able to renegotiate with the unions to reflect the new reality.

The devastating impact of outrageous labor costs also drove Ford Motors to announce construction of a billion dollar plant—in India!

And so it is all across America: Outlandish pensions and labor costs negotiated by labor unions are bankrupting government municipalities and private business alike, forcing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work.

If President Obama really wants to tackle unemployment and the economy in a serious way, he should propose sweeping reform of labor agreements to conform to the current reality.

Forget about more taxes and spending, Mr. President! Our nation is being crippled by greedy labor leaders who are not interested in “spreading the wealth” to other Americans.

Reform labor agreements NOW, freeze all new regulations, cut taxes across the board, and just get government out of the way!

That is the way to cut unemployment and rebuild America’s economy.

Now Its Racist NOT to Rebut Obama?

Satire by John W. Lillpop

By now everyone on the planet knows full well why Nancy Pelosi, former Shrieker of the U.S. House, has never been invited to a Mensa meeting: She no brighter than a mud fence, and not one iota more!

Over the years, including her term as House Shrieker, Pelosi provided a fundamental transformation of the way women politicians are viewed.

Namely, at least in Pelosi’s case, the woman’s place is in the home, most definitely NOT the U.S. House!

As reported, in part, at the reference, Pelosi has outdone her goofy self in bitching about the way Republicans are handling the Obama ‘jobs lecture,’ fictitiously referred to as his ‘plan”:

Republicans have decided they're not going to give a rebuttal to President Obama's jobs speech later this week, a decision House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi took as a high affront to the White House.

Pelosi said the party's "silence" would "speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs."

"The Republicans' refusal to respond to the president's proposal on jobs is not only disrespectful to him, but to the American people," Pelosi said.

This from the woman who stated that the abortion issue was up in the air because the church Fathers had not decided with finality.

The woman who pushed for quick passage of the ObamaCare travesty so that we could ‘find out what’s in it’!

The woman who, speaking before a group of illegal aliens holed up in a church in San Francisco tried, to comfort the assembled criminal invader by assuring them that enforcing the rule of law was ‘un-American.’

On and on it goes, as Nancy Pelosi continues to embarrass the state of California while making goofy constituents in San Francisco bean with pride at her genius!

Barack Obama and the 10th Anniversary of 9/11

Posted by john lillpop on September 6, 2011 at 1:09pm

By John W. Lillpop

America is about to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11. We do so while embroiled in wretched partisan politics, despite the promise of ‘post-partisan’ utopia from Barack Obama.

Given the emotional significance of this anniversary, one would expect candidates from both major political parties to deliver inspirational eulogies on behalf of the 3,000 victims and their families, and to remind Americans of the urgent need to remain ever diligent in fighting Islamafascism.

Unfortunately, delivering uplifting cries of patriotism is simply not in the DNA of most liberals, including the erstwhile community organizer now occupying the Oval Office.

Rather than working to unify Americans in remembrance of that awful September morning and of the wars that must still be waged and won in order to preserve American independence and freedom, President Barack Obama has made statements in the past which suggest that he sides with terrorists.

An example as reported by Aaron Klein at wnd.com:

"Obama's comments about legitimate causes' of terror groups and 'root problems of causes and dangers' seems to echo little-noticed remarks the presidential candidate made eight days after 9/11 in which he said the attacks were carried out because of a lack of "empathy" for others' suffering on the part of al-Quaeda, whose terrorist ideology 'grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.'

"Obama went on to imply the Sept. 11 attacks were, in part, a result of U.S. policy, lecturing the American military to minimize civilian casualties in the Middle East and urging action opposing 'bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle-Eastern descent.'

"Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we, as a nation, draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy," Obama wrote in a piece about 9/11 published Sept. 19, 2001, in Chicago's Hyde Park Herald."

All of which proves that, despite his protestations to the contrary, Obama was indeed paying attention during the terrorist-friendly rants delivered by Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Furthermore, if Obama wants the U.S. to determine the "root causes" for 9/11, then he seems to be implying that ramming jumbo jets into New York City skyscrapers and the Pentagon might be more acceptable if we only knew WHY the terrorists decided to cremate 3,000 innocent Americans.

Perhaps Mohamed Atta had a disturbed childhood in which he was unfairly denied the opportunity to become a suicide bomber, and 9/11 was his way of acting out against overly strict parents?

Or perhaps the late Osama bin Laden desired to murder tens of millions of Americans because, during his youth, he was molested by a gay mullah in an isolated cave in the mountains of Pakistan?

According to people who think like Obama and Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA), instead of attacking Al-Quaeda conclaves in Afghanistan in October, 2001, President Bush should have offered to meet with OBL and other Islamofascists terrorists to determine the "root causes" for the wanton murders.

Hear ye, hear ye, progressive dim wits everywhere:

Islamofascists attacked America because they want to destroy our way of life and replace it with Sharia law and mandatory conscription into the army of Allah!

Period!

There is no romantic sub-plot here. Al-Quaeda would incinerate every home in America if they were able because they hate Democracy, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, atheism, feminism--everything that falls short of reverence for, and obedience to, Allah!

Granted that Barack Obama is much too young to know much about Pearl Harbor, another grave attack on America.

However, any man or woman who aspires to the presidency of the United States should make an honest attempt to understand history.

Pearl Harbor 101, for Obama and friends:

President Franklin Roosevelt and the U.S. Congress did NOT waste precious time trying to determine the "root cause" behind the Japanese attack that left 2,500 American sailors dead in Pearl Harbor!

Instead, America declared war on the enemy, took actions necessary to execute that war, remained steadfast in determination to win, and eventually did win the war!

The lesson? When Americans have been attacked and are at risk of being attacked again, to hell with legitimate claims and root causes!

To paraphrase President Bush, who despite all his other failings, prevented a second 9/11 from happening on his watch, "Either you are with us or you are against us!"

Which is it, Mr. President?
