Presidential Debt Commission

There is a reason that people should listen to Rush Limbaugh.  I caught his show for about twenty minutes yesterday and heard this gem, which I paraphrase:

Why he doesn’t support a Commission to study cutting the debt? It would be as though Rush burned down a house, witnessed by millions after it was caught on T.V. cameras and broadcast nationwide.  He’s guilty, the entire country knows it, but instead of accepting blame and being punished, he denies guilt and appoints several cronies to a Commission to study the arson and place the blame on somebody else.

Congress created this problem, and Congress should be blamed for the problem, and Congress should fix the problem, not foist it off on some bipartisan “Commission.”

Awwww

Who dunt like baby pictures?

Obama the Marxist

This one is for Sheldon.  Oh, gee Shelly, how do I know he’s a Marxist? Can I read his mind?

And, if you dare, go to Brietbart and listen to an ex-Marxist who met Obamster back in 1980.

AS IF we didn’t already know queers wanted special treatment

They get their prissy little panties in a bunch because Gov. McDonnell doesn’t give them the special Princess treatment: Extra rights!  Heaven forbid that all men shall be treated equal!  From TPM–Here is a portion of the new discrimination policy: 

“It shall be the policy of the office of the Governor to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace, encourage excellence by rewarding achievement based on merit, and prohibit discrimination for any reason. Hiring, promotion, discipline and termination of employees shall be based on qualifications, performance and results.”

What?! No special treatment for queers! The Governor must be a bigot!

Why are liberal arts professors liberal? A rejoinder to Professor Surber

 Jere P. Surber, a professor of philosophy at the University of Denver, wrote an article in The Chronicle Review with his theories of why, as a general rule, liberal arts professors have such a liberal bias.   If I may attempt to paraphrase–don’t take my word for it, read his article–he had three reasons why liberal arts professors are generally liberal. 

 First, because liberal arts professors get paid less and they think that is unfair.  Doctors, lawyers and engineers have the equivalent education and get paid 10-100x more.  Peoples’ political philosophies tend to align with their economic interests. 

 Second, because they have studied history and history is the struggle of the oppressed and the underprivileged and their struggle for parity.  There is a “right side to history” and they want to be on the “right side”–the side of the oppressed.  

 Third, because they come from a background in liberal education (as opposed to say engineering and business which just study the bottom line)  “which emphasizes the role that values play in human affairs…  and they’ve learned that values inevitably conflict, and they have developed the skills to interpret these clashes with nuance, envisioning various forms of resolution or mediation.” 

 I have much to say, but first let me say this: Hogwash.  Liberal arts professors are liberal because they do not have a job in the real world.  Many (most?) have never had to make a payroll, never had to pay exorbitant taxes and comply with onerous rules and regulations.  They go from high school into college, the grad school, and then move right back to frolicking with juveniles just out of high school.  They have the summers off, cannot be fired and get regular pay increases. Seated in their ivory towers the real world looks oppressive.  What to them appear as “oppression” are actually business owners trying to provide a service or goods while earning a profit after being taxed and regulated nearly out of business.  What to them look like under privilege are actually hard-working men or women struggling to earn as cushy a job as the good professor has.

Pakistanis capture No. 2 al Qaeda in Afghanistan because of “increased engagement by the Obama Administration” and because of al Qaeda bombings in Pakistan

But mostly because of al Qaeda bombings in Pakistan.  The Obama administration is trying to spin this recent capture of the number two leader as a coup for the adminstration.  Turns out the Pakistanis have known where he was for a long time, and have even had meetings with him.  They could have captured him at any time.  From The WaPo:

“White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said that increased engagement by the Obama administration had persuaded Pakistan to increase its cooperation and that Pakistanis’ ‘realization of what was happening within their own country and the threat that it posed also played a big part in changing their actions.’” 

The Obama adminstration did not persuade the Pakistanis to cooperate, the many terrorist attacks within Pakistan and the almost complete takeover by al Qaeda of an entire region within Pakistan caused them to cooperate. Nice try though, Bagdad Bob.

Obama supports two nuclear reactors in Georgia

Damn it, I hate it when he does something smart. Please Mr. President, stay out there in la-la land where a vast majority of the country opposes what you do. 

I want him gone, one and done.  But I certainly won’t criticize him on those rare occasions when he does pursues the correct policy.  Hard to believe that there have been no nuclear reactors built  in the U.S.A. since the 70s.  F’n hippies.
