"She's into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise," adds the source"
The hyperbole of politics is fraught with the language of war: "war chest; battle ground; faction; war room; enemies list; If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun; etc.
And despite the fact that history proves Anarchists & Leftists are frequent perpetrators of violence, destruction & presidential assassinations, the Lefties still demagogue the faux spectre of 'right wingnut radicals' as the greatest threat the world has ever known, blah, blah blah.
So, it comes as no surprise that our friends over at the oddly named 'Think Progress' have messed themselves over the above Missouri billboard which enumerates several bullet points for non-violent political actions - a revolution, as it were, to wrest power from a corrupt gub'mint and return it to the people. Plus, some big red hyperbole at the bottom.
I live thirty minutes from this bill board, but have never seen it in person, have never spoken with any neighbor about it, and only know of its existence from all the smoke blowing in from Left field. No. We won't join you in any violence.
This questionable exercise of expensive free speech out on I-70 is most certainly a calculation for effect - that mostly goes unnoticed.
Kinda like this one, in the same place, from several months ago.

But the worst derision comes from the Warmer's own delusion that their motives & methods are somehow apolitical.

Or was it "Will You Respect Me at the End of Your Administration?" Something always gets lost in translation.
And, if Obama has lost SNL, has he lost middle America? Or is Sarah Palin's whirlwind book tour simply not a target rich environment for the lampooners this week?
Inquiring minds want to know.
From the King James Bible; 1 Samuel 17:41-49,
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
No, smart aleck, the answer is not "8".
From "What Has Changed?" by Robert P. Kirchhoefer at the Am. Spectator:
"Unlike the 1993 attack and unlike the apprehension of 9/11 co-conspirator Moussaoui, those accused of planning the 9/11 terrorist attacks were all apprehended outside of the United States. They were imprisoned outside of the United States. Most were apprehended well after the United States had launched the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These enemy combatants who were caught overseas have no need of being brought to America as if they were NYC cab drivers, tourists, or preachers in a lower Manhattan mosque. They were not.
Attorney General Holder states that we are using all of our options in the prosecution of these terrorists:
We are at war, and we will use every instrument of national power -- civilian, military, law enforcement, intelligence, diplomatic and others -- to win.…
"Every instrument" should also include the military tribunals. Military tribunals are military actions. They are for wartime activities. To date, over 5,000 soldiers have lost their lives fighting this war. This is not a police action nor is it a limited engagement. This is, as Mr. Holder stated, a call for "every instrument of national power." But Mr. Holder fails to grasp the significance of his own words. He fails to recognize that we have other options and other instruments. Why won't we use them?"
"After all, it was a Democratic Congress that passed the current military commissions system, working with a Republican President, to find a system that would get the blessing of the Supreme Court while maintaining security for our war efforts in intelligence. Without the Democrats in 2007, there would have been no military commissions system at all. That default would have forced KSM and everyone else at Gitmo into federal court eventually, an outcome that few wanted to see … at least in 2007."
The longtime reader of this blog (thanx, Mom!) knows my kid has been enlisted in this United States Army lo these last four & half years.
Here it is, three tours in Iraq (Tal Afar, Ramadi, & Styker/Bahgdad), one 15 month stop loss and a few months being a slacker in Ft. Drum NY later, and my girl has her DD214 in hand. She'll be home for Christmas. Amen!
Thank you. We're all so very proud of you. So, without further ado...

"North Dakota's top prosecutor said the state will seek to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Spirit Lake Sioux tribal members who want the University of North Dakota to keep its Fighting Sioux nickname.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem met with state Board of Higher Education members behind closed doors Thursday to update them on the state's response, which is expected to be filed by next week. A judge has barred the board from taking any action on the nickname issue until after a Dec. 9 hearing.
Stenehjem said the tribal members will have a hard time with that order, issued last week by Northeast District Judge Michael Sturdevant.
"They have to be able to show the judge they're going to win the lawsuit," he said. "I think that's a difficult standard."
The board has said it will retire the nickname unless the state's Sioux tribes sign 30-year agreements to support it. The board originally set an Oct. 1 deadline, but extended it to Nov. 30 because of tribal elections on the Standing Rock reservation.
Pat Morley, an attorney for the tribal members, said the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock Sioux tribes should have until Nov. 30, 2010, to decide whether to support the nickname and logo."

Obama's Sect'y of the Treasury Timothy Geithner's tax evasion was the stuff of headlines earlier this year - as were failed nominee for Sect'y of Health and Human Services, Tom Daschle(D).
Now comes another 'unpatriotic' democrat.
"Obama’s nominee for undersecretary of the Treasury for international affairs, Lael Brainard, is the fifth presidential nominee to reveal tax issues during the congressional vetting process.
Brainard was late in paying real estate taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007 on property in Northern Virginia, according to the report by the Senate Finance Committee staff.
The report also challenges the accuracy of a deduction Brainard claimed for running an office from her home. The challenge led Brainard to reduce the deduction on her 2008 return, though she declined to adjust returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007, telling committee staff she used a reasonable method to calculate the deductions.
Brainard is current in all her taxes, said Treasury spokesman Andrew Williams."
From the NOAA National Climatic Data Center:
"The average October temperature of 50.8°F was 4.0°F below the 20th Century average and ranked as the 3rd coolest based on preliminary data.
For the nation as a whole, it was the third coolest October on record. The month was marked by an active weather pattern that reinforced unseasonably cold air behind a series of cold fronts. Temperatures were below normal in eight of the nation's nine climate regions, and of the nine, five were much below normal. Only the Southeast climate region had near normal temperatures for October."
And speaking of patterns... Watching Gore make a complete scientific idiot of himself on national TV: priceless"The 192-nation climate conference beginning in three weeks in Copenhagen had originally been intended to produce a new global climate-change treaty. Hopes for that have dimmed lately. But comments by Obama and fellow leaders at a hastily arranged breakfast meeting here on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific summit served to put the final nail in any remaining expectations for the December summit. "
Hey! Mr. President. Where's that pay czar??!

(It's even worse when they venture into politics.)
During the early months of the American civil war, President Lincoln had to contend with the ineffectual (and some say traitorous) General George McClellan. No matter how much men and material Lincoln supplied, McClellan simply would not engage the armies of the South.
McClellan was eventually relieved of command.
That was once upon a time. Now that it's twice upon a time, the opposite is true.
As the war in Afghanistan rages, and American casualties mount, it's been over two months since Gen. Stanley McChrystal requested an additional 40,000 troops from his commander-in-chief, only to hear in reply, "The check is in the mail." It seems our own modern day 'Lincoln' has proved himself to be timid, undecisive and impotent.
Today we hear, once again, that Obama is 'close' to Afghan decision:
"President Barack Obama says he is "very close" to deciding whether to send more troops to Afghanistan and will announce his decision within "several weeks".
Mr Obama also told CNN in China his new strategy would emphasise an "endgame".
As much as $21 billion dollars.
"Nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor projected state spending severely out of line with tax collections not just amid the current recession but for years to come. Solving the fiscal mess will require "painful choices" in both cutting services and raising revenue, Taylor warned.
The gloomy forecast, which comes after Sacramento officials have already raised taxes and slashed programs this year, portends a fierce budget battle again in 2010."
" Using more efficient televisions will require lower operation of power plants, which could cut air pollution like nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide and soot by nearly 880 metric tons per year, the commission said. It could also cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 3 million metric tons per year and reduce mercury contamination in the environment, as efficient TVs use less mercury, the CEC said. The rules will mean savings for consumers of nearly $20 a year per television, in lower electricity bills, the commission said."

"Imagine that – 11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to “fact check” what’s going on with Sheik Mohammed’s trial, Pelosi’s health care takeover costs, Hasan’s associations, etc. Amazing."
