Heaving bosoms at the Associated Press;
Washington pulsed with anticipation of Obama’s swearing in as the nation’s first black president. The city was aflutter with preparations for four days of parties and pomp, shadowed at every turn by layer upon layer of security.
Obama’s Philadelphia Speech provides the solution to AGW
“A planet that is warming from our unsustainable dependence on oil.”
Main Entry: unsustainable
Part of Speech: adj
Definition: not able to be maintained or supported in the future, esp. without causing damage or depletion of a resource
Golly if we do NOTHING or Increase the use of; the oil will be depleted and the warming will cease!
I can’t read the link. My internet service (Bezeq in Israel) is blocking it!
What is with lefties like anon that they have to swear and curse with sexual connotations and plain filth in their posts? Then you link to places like KOS or rabble and they all post like that. Little logic or coherent though processes going on just snarling attacks if you challenge them at all. They sound like mindless adolescents that never matured and the same type marches with the leftist parades calling for the death of the Jews or the target of the day.
IainGFoulds, a thoughful poster at the National Post wrote this today and I think he has nailed it.
“More and more I recognize that the true denominator of the Left is not political, but psychological. Their political positions are products of a tragically stunted state of development- a failure to mature.
… Thus, like a child, the Left is always a position of personal irresponsibility- irresponsible for one’s actions, one’s health, one’s finances, etc.
… Whereas, the true Right- the path of respect for one’s own liberty and that of others, is a life of unfolding maturity- from childhood to old age- accepting the responsibilities and challenges of life with cheerfulness and courage.”
Hmmmm,5000 portapotties,10,000,000 people seems something will stink in DC.Unless my math is waaay off that works out to 1 one holer to 2,000 visitors gonna, be a long line up.
A 1930’s Pullman is a railway car with sleeper compartments inside; Obama and family was touring by rail.
If I had his pull, I’d have made them bring out of retirement and hook up a Union Pacific Big Boy to drag it. Excess, after all, is the new restraint.
I beg to differ with the subservient U.S. media: I’m tired of the Obamessiah already and am somewhat in despair as I contemplate another four years of him, at least.
Pass me my smelling salts …
And Dave: “What is with lefties like anon that they have to swear and curse with sexual connotations and plain filth in their posts?”
That’s the left’s modus operandi. Like the spoiled, entitled, toddlers they are, when things don’t go their way or when their views are challenged, all they know how to do is pull a tantrum and go ballistic. The idea of bringing reasoned and reasonable arguments to the table is completely outside their purview. Tantrums and bullying behaviour worked perfectly well in daycare, in school, and in the few hours they saw their parents every day. Why not now?
“Outta my way …”
Interesting commentary about Barry’s speeches – borrows a quote from Lincoln, another from MLK, yet another from this guy and that guy. No wonder taking Biden as his VP was attractive to him. I think they call it mentorship.
Barry’s first thoughts when he walks into the Oval Office for the first time “Lets see now – what was it WE said during the campaign? Never mind that – just wing it.”
anon – saying you are scum is to compliment you.
“Washington pulsed with anticipation of Obama’s swearing in”
“pulsing”
Is this the new media buzz tag for “Obamagasim”?
I don;t know what will kill me first his inept corporate welfare instincts or the fawning media syrup
It seems that every society has to go through this phase before it realizes that it is the wrong path.
In the early 50’s of the past century, in the grade school, in socialist paradise, Uncle Joe was presented to the students as nothing short of a saint. The students were encouraged to compose poetry, paint pictures and such other expression of the light that Joe radiated to the masses.
The prewar generation was hard to catch with the program, though as you may guess, there was money to be made in proclaiming sainthood of Joe. So there were those, wholly in the sphere of envy that made it work, sending those that did not agree to prison, an engineer was sent to do harvesting of grain to cultivate his rough edges. A lawyer was paving streets with asphalt, which when you come to think of it, was not a bad switch.
Anyway, the proclaimed sainthood of Obama is known mode of operation for those that grew in communist run countries.
Americans, being patient people will be pushed until they can’t be pushed no more. Today’s propaganda machine of the media is so remarkably like the communist propaganda of another time, it is frightening to those with first hand experience.
The way this guy is portrayed in the opinion media and other people that comment on socialist blogs is commonly know as a “Cult of Personality”.
That is what it is.
Obama, to the surprise of those that succumbed to the mass hysteria, will not bring down the sea levels anymore then your neighbor will.
Have a look at the propaganda pictures of the fascists, the nazi, the socialists and the communists, they are remarkably the same, where the muscled worker with his mate goes forward with hammer and some other tools looking to the future with glean in their eyes and grin of satisfaction on their faces.
As it turns out under the …’ists the working man got poorer as the time went on all the while being told how happy and blessed he is by the presence of the dictator.
Cult of Personality is the mode of media today in regard to Obama.
Dear Bush haters: You’ve been played, manipulated right outta your socks. Maybe that bothers you, maybe it doesn’t, but if you’re interested in truth, read the whole thing.
From The Anchoress Thank you, President Bush
“Not that he didn’t make his share of mistakes – all presidents make mistakes and wartime presidents make more – but it always seemed to me that when the Arab Springtime was poised to flourish, and President Bush’s approval ratings seemed like they wouldn’t sink, when it became clear that Bush meant what he said about freedom and the human spirit, he had to be taken down. And that was accomplished; it was a group effort. It’s difficult to find a positive word written about him or his policies in any news report after that. Seriously. Go look.”
Interesting situation Obama is in: Most everyone is praying that he stays in power … so that neither Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi get a shot at running things! They’re much like the crazy uncle & aunt that we all have but don’t talk about, eh?!
Hi everyone! This is my first post. I just found out about this site while on Little Green Footballs. Congrats on award.
A bit late to the thread, but the first paragraph demonstrates quite the disconnect on the part of Mr. Obama
The very country that just elected a black(ish) man, is being called small thinking, prejudiced and bigoted – by the very same man. I can’t imagine that he is referring to people who voted for him, so I guess he is describing those who voted for his opponent.
So by describing the supporters of his political opponent as “small thinking, prejudiced bigots”,
Obama is demonstrating that he is what? Open minded, unbiased and tollerant?
Apparently neither Obama or the media see the irony in this statement.
ABOARD THE INAUGURAL EXPRESS (AP) – Tracking Abraham Lincoln’s historic path to Washington, President-elect Barack Obama launched a four-day inaugural celebration Saturday before thousands of chilled but cheering onlookers from Philadelphia to the nation’s capital. He promised to bring the country “a new Declaration of Independence” – free from small thinking, prejudice and bigotry.
Enjoy your time out in the cold, wingnuts!
Don’t you mean our time out in the Warm, Kaplan? Seeing as Obama says we have runaway Global Warming?
Welcome, E.J.!
