Look For The Good

-
Believe it or not, I am starting to find the silver lining behind the clouds of idiocy coming from the hallowed halls of our Congress.

I honestly believe that people are watching and shaking their heads at this shameful behavior. I am seeing more and more regular articles and opinion columns about it... and my common sense antennae tell me that it is inevitable that these clowns have pushed it too far.

Anyway, here is one of the better columns I have read in the past few days. Please read and share.

Legislating A Terrorist Victory In Iraq

One of the best ever told.

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!



************************************************************



MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim, in an interview with Larry King, that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.

-

John Doe Is Me

-
Okay, let's start with this good news: "House votes to protect John Does on flights." Good news, to be sure.

If you read the article, though, and then look at this house roll call, you will see that 121 dumocrats (121 is a majority of their number, by the way) actually voted against this bill.

That means that there are 121 members of Congress that are not remotely interested in protecting us-- and even in letting us protect ourselves-- from islamofascist terrorists.

So... here is Michelle Malkin with the newest craze: The John Doe Manifesto

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners are no longer allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

I suppose one could say that this tradition is a good sign that some people can put aside their politics for a civilized dinner. A cynic, of course, would ask how anyone could sit down with people who are siding with our enemy and trying to get our military personnel killed for political power.

Anyway... Dubya had a pretty good joke writer-- a couple of these are very funny.

Here's Fred Thompson on the recent bill for funding of our war. He's a bit confused on the little "extras" that the politicians put in the bill.

[[ The House’s emergency war-funding bill contains several conditions on how the war should be run. They’ll never become law but they “send signals” they say. They’re big on sending signals in Washington. But what I was really surprised to find in the bill was what looked like $25 billion in pure pork. Since a lot of the people who voted for the bill campaigned against pork, I was puzzled.

I’m puzzled there’s $283 million for dairy farmers in an emergency war-funding bill. But there’s also $74 million for peanut farmers so, I figured our soldiers are eating a lot of peanut-butter sandwiches; they need more milk to wash them down with.

Hey, I’m trying to keep an open mind, here, okay?

But I also wondered why the bill gives $25 million to spinach producers. Our troops should certainly eat their vegetables, but unless it turns out that there’s a scientific basis for that Popeye spinach thing, I don’t get it. ]]

This is what Marines do. This is how they are trained. The enemy we are fighting is not conventional... and these Marines were doing what they needed to do. If you ambush Marines, they WILL respond immediately and with overwhelming force. That is why Marines always win. Yes, always.

War is not tidy. War is not precision surgery.

We can not win this war-- or any way-- if the politically correct generals keep doing things like this.

This is not right, and the President needs to get involved here.

Open Season On Women In muslim Lands

Well, that has been true for almost 1,400 years, hasn't it? The muslim definition of "honor" is sure different from mine.

[[ ON a windswept winter day last week, just before afternoon prayers, three gunshots rang out across the damp sand dunes of northern Gaza. Mohammed Yousef was just about to climb the minaret of the beach mosque to summon the faithful when he heard the distinctive crack of a Kalashnikov, a sharp, violent, intrusion that has become a soundtrack for the turbulent Gaza Strip, especially this month.

He hurried outside, looking first down a rubbish-strewn strip of beach that leads to the Mediterranean, then left towards a low-set concrete fence. Just inside a narrow entrance lay the crumpled body of a small woman, wearing a green Islamic gown and a full black veil. Her blood seeped into the puddles of sandy water around her head. Mohammed didn't bother with an ambulance. He need not have bothered with the police.

The dead woman was Dalal al-Behtete, a young woman from a struggling family in central Gaza. Seven other women have met the same violent and lonely fate across Gaza during a 10-day stretch this month. According to their assassins, their deaths gave them honour that their conduct in life had not. All the women had been accused of immoral behaviour. Some had been labelled prostitutes; others were branded for fraternising with men outside their immediate families. ]]

Here is the rest of this heart-warming article, just in case you want to read it. Be warned, though, it doesn't get any happier.

Is This Irony?

-
Or just idiocy? You be the judge.

At least these people are trying to live their "convictions." That is certainly more than can be said for the elitists who are their beloved leaders.

One more point before we go to the article. Liberals like to call themselves "progressives." In fact, that is what they want us all to call them. You know, as in: "progressing" away from the awful things that this country used to be. Anyway, the manner in which this couple (with different last names, but we learn at the end that they are married) lives is spectacular in its absurdity. It also points out the cold, hard fact that these people are nothing more than well-intentioned, but simple-minded, tools of the vast anti-capitalism effort that is trying to gain momentum.

Don't believe me? Okay, then, here is a very small sample of this article (which you need to read in its entirety to believe):

[[ The dishwasher is off, along with the microwave, the coffee machine and the food processor. Planes, trains, automobiles and that elevator are out, but the family is still doing laundry in the washing machines in the basement of the building. (Consider the ramifications of no-elevator living in a vertical city: one day recently, when Frankie the dog had digestive problems, Mr. Beavan, who takes Isabella to day care — six flights of stairs in a building six blocks away — and writes at the Writers Room on Astor Place — 12 flights of stairs, also six blocks away — estimated that by nightfall he had climbed 115 flights of stairs.) And they have not had the heart to take away the vacuum from their cleaning lady, who comes weekly (this week they took away her paper towels).

Until three weeks ago, however, Ms. Conlin was following her “high-fructose corn syrup ways,” meaning double espressos and pastries administered daily. “Giving up the coffee was like crashing down from a crystal meth addiction,” she said. “I had to leave work and go to bed for 24 hours.”

Toothpaste is baking soda (a box makes trash, to be sure, but of a better quality than a metal tube), but Ms. Conlin is still wearing the lipstick she gets from a friend who works at Lancôme, as well as moisturizers from Fresh and Kiehl’s. When the bottles, tubes and jars are empty, Mr. Beavan has promised her homemade, rules-appropriate substitutes. (Nothing is a substitute for toilet paper, by the way; think of bowls of water and lots of air drying.) ]]

Ummm... I'd rather not think of it, if you don't mind. Sorry, back to the fun:

[[ Yet since the beginning of No Impact, and to the amusement of her colleagues at Business Week, Ms. Conlin has been scootering to her office on 49th Street each day, bringing a Mason jar filled with greenhouse greens, cheese and her husband’s bread for lunch, along with her own napkin and cutlery. She has taken a bit of ribbing: “All progress is carbon fueled,” jeered one office mate.

Ms. Conlin, acknowledging that she sees her husband as No Impact Man and herself as simply inside his experiment, said she saw “An Inconvenient Truth” in an air-conditioned movie theater last summer. “It was like, ‘J’accuse!’ ” she said. “I just felt like everything I did in my life was contributing to a system that was really problematic.” Borrowing a phrase from her husband, she continued, “If I was a student, I would march against myself.” ]]

You just absolutely, positively cannot parody these people. Wow...

The Year Without Toilet Paper

For the record, I find nothing wrong with some of the things they are doing. Less television and more family time is an awesome concept that we all should embrace, for example (well, they went with NO television, but, whatever).

However (and this is a big however), the whole point of "progress" is to move mankind away from the drudgery, pain, and sacrifice of old. Our purpose on this planet is not to be miserable so that we don't put paper in a landfill. Our purpose is to advance, to love, to live, to enjoy the life that God has given us. Improvement of the human condition is not a bad thing.

Coming from a Catholic, you may find this hard to believe, but living on a huge guilt-trip is not something good or noble. It is just silly.

Summer's End

Summer's end has come so soon,

The bees are gone, the flowers swoon.

The snow will fall and kids will play,

Out in the cold on a pale, white day.

The leaves are gone, the trees are bare,

The sun is dull, the moon will flare.

The stars shine bright, up high in space,

The cold is overwhelming, in every place.

We miss the summer:

The wide blue sky,

With colors all over,

And birds flying high.

When the sun hits our cheeks, and green's all around,

With soft fertile soil, and a rich flowing ground.

But now that winter's come again,

We realize that it's summer's end.

One of the worst parts of being too busy is that I don't get enough time to read the works of the great ones.

Thomas Sowell is one of those of whom I can not get enough. His quiet, but inescapable, logic is a true source of inspiration to me.

Here he is covering a medley of topics with wit and intelligent insight. My favorite was this:

[[ Amid all the media hysteria over the price of gasoline and the profits of "Big Oil," one simple fact has been repeatedly overlooked: The oil companies' earnings are just under 10 percent of the price of a gallon of gas, while taxes take 17 percent. Yet who ever accuses the government of "greed"? ]]

Where else but in the world of Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) would you find an educated person saying that he is being "muzzled" and "stifled" about his views on global warming, when he has given 1,400 media interviews on the subject?

Oh, and by the way, he acknowledges that NASA, for whom he works, has certain policies on media matters. Policies that he violated many times.

So, 1,400 interviews equals censorship? Don't bother trying to figure this one out... the mental gymnastics required would cripple your brain for life.

New Political Rock Star/Messiah Update

-
Yes, of course the title of this post is referring to Mr. barrack hussein obama: he who walks upon the water and heals the sick with nothing more than the sound of his articulate and melodic voice. Who else?

Anyway, I'm shocked, SHOCKED!, to see this little tidbit:

[[ The most liberal member of Congress running for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination isn't Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio.

It's Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

Unlike TV commercials that focus on a single vote, these rankings are based on comprehensive voting records. The 2006 scores, for example, were based on as many as 95 votes on such issues as federal spending, tax cuts, the war in Iraq, embryonic stem-cell research and border security.

On the Democratic side, the analysis of "lifetime" voting records shows Obama as the most liberal with a score of 84.3 after two full years in the Senate. The most liberal score possible was 99.

The lifetime liberal scores for the other Democrats:

-Kucinich, 79.4

-Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, 79.2

-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, 78.8

-Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, 76.8 ]]

obama More Liberal Than kucinich, Analysis Reveals

By the way, the article gives us another shocker here:

Un bout du chapeau to the intrepid and ever-vigilant TJ for sending this along.

[[ Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. ]]

Huh? Exactly which "extremist groups" are they talking about? Well... you know... the extreme extremist groups.

Never fear, though... the FBI says everything is A-okay:

[[ Asked about the alert notice, the FBI's Rich Kolko said "there are no threats, no plots and no history leading us to believe there is any reason for concern," although law enforcement agencies around the country were asked to watch out for kids' safety.

Foreigners under recent investigation include "some with ties to extremist groups" who have been able to "purchase buses and acquire licenses," the bulletin says.

But Homeland Security and the FBI "have no information indicating these individuals are involved in a terrorist plot against the homeland," it says. The memo also notes: "Most attempts by foreign nationals in the United States to acquire school bus licenses to drive them are legitimate." ]]

No history?? "Most" attempts are legitimate??? I guess if you have a child on one of those buses, then "most" would make you feel better, right?

Here's Robert Spencer's post at the formidable and indispensable Jihad Watch.

BTW, Charles posted on this last week... don't know how I missed that.

"The models also had inviting expressions on their faces," said Resni Muchtar, calling for the maximum sentence of 32 months in prison. ]]

"Inviting expressions??" Geez...

Oh, well, at least they are still more tolerant than the global warming crowd.

Global Warming Zen Moment Of The Day

-
Honestly, when I read this, I thought I had stumbled upon a script for Saturday Night Live.

[[ A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite. The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.

"Ann said losing toes and going forward at all costs was never part of the journey," said Ann Atwood, who helped organize the expedition. ]]

Good stuff, eh? Well, the best is yet to come. The article talks about some difficulties the intrepid duo met, and then this:

[[ Then there was the cold — quite a bit colder, Atwood said, then Bancroft and Arnesen had expected. One night they measured the temperature inside their tent at 58 degrees below zero, and outside temperatures were exceeding 100 below zero at times, Atwood said.

"My first reaction when they called to say there were calling it off was that they just sounded really, really cold," Atwood said. ]]

But wait! Lest you think these devoted Goracle followers learned some kind of lesson here:

[[ Atwood said there was some irony that a trip to call attention to global warming was scuttled in part by extreme cold temperatures.

"They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming," Atwood said. "But one of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability." ]]

Can. Not. Parody. These. People.

I pretty much sucked all the good stuff out of it, but HERE is the link if you want to read the rest.

Have I Found My Candidate??

I watched this exchange on Glenn Beck last week, and it really opened my eyes about Duncan Hunter. I wish I could have found a longer clip, there was some good stuff before this one starts... but, anyway, it's pretty good... especially when Glenn starts going off on the moonbat congressman (about halfway through).

I admit that I did not know enough about Mr. Hunter, other than he is the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee and that he is now running for President as something of a long shot. Now I know that he is a Vietnam veteran (Army Rangers), has a son in the Marine Corps (two tours in Iraq), and is pretty solid on most issues.

Here's a pretty cool site that sums up his voting record. It also lets you take a quiz to see how you match up with various politicians (turns out that I'm pretty much in synch with Dick Cheney on many things!).

Courtesy of Hot Air, it is of a UPI reporter who has seen the truth in Iraq. It is impossible to ignore the powerful message she presents.

They are also baffled as to why the people won't buy "green" bathroom tissue.

Very little play in the old media for people like this. Very little play for anyone who dared to oppose the murderous communist regime in Cuba.

This man was one of those who dared. This man is a poster child for what happens to good people in the horror factory that is castro's Cuba.

[[ The average temperature in February 2007 was 32.9 F. This was -1.8 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 34th coolest February in 113 years. ]]

National Climate Data Center Tells The "Cold" Facts

At the risk of doing math in public (never a good idea!), I think that means that there have been seventy-nine (79) out of 113 Februarys that were HOTTER than this one... which is, I believe, about seventy (70) percent. So, to summarize, 70 percent of Februarys in the past century were hotter than this year.

Okay, got it.

...but... gore said... and all the hollywood stars... and the old media...

(Cue cognitive dissonance.)

Oh, well... must just be Bush and Halliburton going back in their time machine again.

Here is well-known madman, and fashionable international playboy, mahmoud ahmadinejad, making another one of his famous "jokes" about wiping Israel off the map.

Crazy Tyrant Says Israel Soon To Die

What's that? He wasn't joking?? But... I thought all the liberals loved this guy...?

If he's so bad, then why did Diane Sawyer suddenly abandon her "feminist" ways and become a subservient and quietly submissive little lamb when she went to talk to him and the other crazy dictator?

Surely you're not going to tell me that a liberal newswoman would stoop to such shameful behavior for a tyrant who is evil?

Come on... stop being so black and white. Look for the shades of gray...

After all, Diane told us that he likes to cry a lot because he is so sensitive.

See? He's just like us!

There are countless, endless, infinite numbers of horror stories of medical nightmares from all of the "enlightened" countries that have nationalized (socialist) health care.

Speaking Of "Can't Parody Them"

-
Frank J., the funniest guy on the internet (usually, except when the liberals are being unintentionally funny... wait that's almost always... never mind), made the astute observation that you could add "muslims are offended" to any news headline and it would not seem out of place.

Then, because of this absolutely surreal story that could cause one's brain to go into vapor-lock, Frank added that you could also add a casualty count to any headline involving a muslim event and no one would notice (e.g., "Children's literacy event held in Saudi Arabia: 12 killed").

Funny? In a sad and twisted sort of way, yes. Also very frightening, when you stop and think that these people kill each other at kite festivals...

Good Lord, how can there ever be peace on our planet while this sort of bizarre and dangerous barbarism thrives in the Middle East? (I know, I know... rhetorical question.)

Have I Got A Deal For You

Psssst... hey, you... yeah, you! Come here...

You want to be informed on the war in Iraq...? I mean really informed...? I'm talking big picture-- understanding the beginning of it, how we got to where we are now, and the possibilities of its end?

Okay, then, please (Please!) read this piece from the amazing Professor Hanson. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: this is one of the smartest men I have ever seen. He is a historian and a realist, and no one that I know of can bring the same perspective that he does. In the space of a fairly short essay, he explains the Iraq war plainly and eloquently... leaving no doubts as to whether or not he is right.

He is most certainly right.

Sweet, Sweet Irony

I have long been an ardent fan of irony. Too many people fail to recognize and appreciate it in its glory.

Anyway, here are two for the sweet irony files.

obama's Ancestors Were Slave Owners

Next, Drudge (who definitely appreciates irony) is reporting that this Global Warming Conference in Minnesota was cancelled due to snow.

Before we get too smug, please remember that, although it loves the liberals WAY more than Conservatives, the irony effect can strike anyone at times.

Get 'Em While They're Young

That is another maxim of the moonbats of the DFL. They have learned from their nazi and islamofascist brethren that the key to control of a society is through indoctrination of the children.

Check out this stunner:

[[ Some Seattle school children are being told to be skeptical of private property rights. This lesson is being taught by banning Legos.

A ban was initiated at the Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle. According to an article in the winter 2006-07 issue of "Rethinking Schools" magazine, the teachers at the private school wanted their students to learn that private property ownership is evil.

According to the article, the students had been building an elaborate "Legotown," but it was accidentally demolished. The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore "the inequities of private ownership." According to the teachers, "Our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation."

The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown "their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys." These assumptions "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society -- a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive." ]]

Can ya dig it?? If you are a home owner, you are "evil."

They are not even trying to hide their communist leanings.

Let Us Never Speak Of It Again

-
So, the great and big-time director, James Cameron, has found the "lost tomb of Jesus."

Wow, that is very exciting. He and Dan Brown really should consider getting together.

I hesitate to even dignify this crap with any words at all, but I wouldn't want my silence to be misconstrued as conciliation or anything remotely like it.

Fortunately, real scientists and archaeologists are laughing this idiot off the street. This article insinuates that Cameron and his posse are doing this for cheap publicity and money. I feel very strongly that their motives are much more sinister than that.

Once and for all, everyone must understand that hollywood is a sworn and bitter enemy of Christianity. That's the bottom line. Period.

Anyway, let's see what the real expert think of this, shall we?

[[ Leading archaeologists in Israel and the United States yesterday denounced the purported discovery of the tomb of Jesus as a publicity stunt.

Scorn for the Discovery Channel's claim to have found the burial place of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and -- most explosively -- their possible son came not just from Christian scholars but also from Jewish and secular experts who said their judgments were unaffected by any desire to uphold Christian orthodoxy.

"I'm not a Christian. I'm not a believer. I don't have a dog in this fight," said William G. Dever, who has been excavating ancient sites in Israel for 50 years and is widely considered the dean of biblical archaeology among U.S. scholars. "I just think it's a shame the way this story is being hyped and manipulated."

"I've know about these ossuaries for many years and so have many other archaeologists, and none of us thought it was much of a story, because these are rather common Jewish names from that period," he (Dever) said. "It's a publicity stunt, and it will make these guys very rich, and it will upset millions of innocent people because they don't know enough to separate fact from fiction."

Similar assessments came yesterday from two Israeli scholars, Amos Kloner, who originally excavated the tomb, and Joe Zias, former curator of archaeology at the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Kloner told the Jerusalem Post that the documentary is "nonsense." Zias described it in an e-mail to The Washington Post as a "hyped up film which is intellectually and scientifically dishonest."
Jodi Magness, an archaeologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, expressed irritation that the claims were made at a news conference rather than in a peer-reviewed scientific article. By going directly to the media, she said, the filmmakers "have set it up as if it's a legitimate academic debate, when the vast majority of scholars who specialize in archaeology of this period have flatly rejected this," she said.

Magness noted that at the time of Jesus, wealthy families buried their dead in tombs cut by hand from solid rock, putting the bones in niches in the walls and then, later, transferring them to ossuaries.

She said Jesus came from a poor family that, like most Jews of the time, probably buried their dead in ordinary graves. "If Jesus' family had been wealthy enough to afford a rock-cut tomb, it would have been in Nazareth, not Jerusalem," she said.

Magness also said the names on the Talpiyot ossuaries indicate that the tomb belonged to a family from Judea, the area around Jerusalem, where people were known by their first name and father's name. As Galileans, Jesus and his family members would have used their first name and home town, she said.

"This whole case [for the tomb of Jesus] is flawed from beginning to end," she said. ]]

"If We Don't Let Anyone Say It...

"...then it can't be true!"

That pretty much sums up the moonbat position on everything. Just like their heroes, the Thought Police, in Orwell's "1984", they want to control what we do, what we say, and what we think.

Don't believe me? Okay, then chew on this for a while... it's just the most recent-- and today's most illustrative-- example.

...the Brits are coming to get you!!!

Here is a nice story of big brother government taking care of the little people. In fact, this is the kind of fairy tale that our own American liberals love very much. The details change, but the story itself is as old as liberalism.

Here's the gist of it:

1) Something the people are doing is thought by the elite to be bad and/or unpleasant.

2) The elite make rules and laws banning the bad/unpleasant thing, forbidding the people from doing it anymore... for their own good, of course.

Problem solved. People saved from themselves by big brother government. Everyone happy.

Except the people, of course.
