PUNK ROCK REPUBLICAN

While I was digging up Youtube footage of Sarah Palin last night I noticed that a few whack jobs were claiming that there was a hand note conspiracy brewing over the Governor scribbling crib notes on her left palm for her speech without teleprompter at the Nashville Tea Party.

Boy! P.T. Barnum got it partially right – never underestimate the utterly stupid bias of America’s Leftist Media. By days end 2,528 articles had been written covering the gaffe (?).

By comparison when the guy under White House arrest who’s only allowed outside in a teleprompter ankle bracelet – the guy white Democrat Chris Mathews only remembered was African American 8,759 hours last year - mispronounces ‘Corpsmen’ as ‘Corpse Man’ three times in a speech over the weekend it only rated 20 articles.

Nice try assholes. Instead of creating a wave of anti-Sarah Palin hostility you’ve drawn even more attention to the inability of President Obama to articulate a thought unless his handlers write it down for him. And even then its even money that he’ll be able to pronounce it.

AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT …

It’s also highlighted the six words written on Sarah Palin’s hand. ‘Energy’, ‘tax cuts’, and ‘lift American spirits’.

With apologies to George Carlin … The six words President Obama can’t say on television.

And yeah … a lot of us voters noticed that where your 2,528 articles didn’t!

… You draft for ability and instincts and everything else will take care of itself.

The Presidency is not a rotisserie fantasy baseball league.

All the criticism of Sarah Palin ignores this.

India’s decision to kick the ‘Money for Crude’ program to the curb reminded me of the second most important plank of John McCain’s 2008 presidential bid – the creation of a League of Democracies to side step and ultimately supplant the world’s largest hate group, the United Nations, as the world’s governing body.

‘India Forms New Climate Change Body … Because It Can’t Rely On The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change’
By Dean Nelson for The Telegraph.

So I went back and read Senator McCain’s Op Ed Piece in The Financial Times in which he outlined his vision of the world’s free nations acting in concert without the debilitating majority veto of the world’s small dick led garbage pits and …

… The entire thing is about how a League of Democracies could be more effective in dealing with Climate Change!

‘America Must Be A Good Role Model’
By John McCain for The Financial Times.

So maybe what America really needs for the 2012 presidential election is a candidate who calls for a ‘League of John Boltons’ or even better a ‘League of Charles Barkleys.’

“I’m not a role model. Just because I dunk a basketball doesn’t mean I should raise your kids”
Future Secretary of State candidate Charles Barkley at Brainy Quotes.

… As Danzig sang a few years ago.

Instead of calling us obstructionist maybe the Democrats should go back to calling us greedy … I want it all baby!

… but it’s not unheard of.

Captain Daniel Whitten, 28, of Grimes, Iowa died of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked his vehicle with an improvised explosive device in Zabul province Afghanistan. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

He was also a good sport.

Charles Pellegrino has been a frequent guest on The John Batchelor Show for a while now talking about his new book on the survivors of the nuclear bombings of BOTH Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ‘The Last Train To Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back’.

I’ve read John Hersey’s Hiroshima so it’s not like I don’t already have a pretty good idea of what went on there but last night Mr. Pellegrino added one new fact to the mix that really puts President Truman’s decision to go nuclear and end World War II quickly in perspective.

In anticipation of a final Allied invasion of Japan President Truman ordered the minting of 400,000 Purple Hearts to award to those expected to be wounded.

To put 400,000 wounded into perspective D-Day had about 2,500 American killed and wounded.

But because of Japan’s quick surrender after the two nuclear bombings those medals didn’t have to be issued and the U.S. was left with all of those medals in storage to be doled out in the future as needed.

Ever since the end of World War II every single Purple Heart issued to every single wounded American service person has been one of those Purple Hearts minted in 1945. And we haven’t run out of them yet.

Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Desert Storm, the War on Terror … that’s how many Americans were saved by the dropping of those two nuclear bombs.

The Battle of Shiloh at the dawn of the Civil War was notable because in its two brief days more Americans were killed in battle than in every single American conflict up to that point in American history – combined! More Americans killed in two days than in the entire American Revolutionary War, plus.

Truman’s decision to drop those two nuclear bombs was the Battle of Shiloh in reverse and saved an entire American generation. And if it saved more wounded than have yet to be wounded in every single American conflict since - how many lives did it save?

A note: John Batchelor’s father would have been part of the invasion of Japan. Charles Pellegrino’s father would have been also. As would have been my father.

Or as Mr. Batchelor said, “Without President Truman’s decision we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

And I wouldn’t have been listening.

‘FCINO’ Fiscal Conservative In Name Only.

Thank You FCINO

There are some questions as to whether the correct pronunciation is allowable on air under current FCC guide lines (or as I like to call ‘em the FUCC).

Via The John Batchelor Show which was giggling about this as I awoke this proto-morning.

Dare I say it sounds like more of that dastardly Republican obstructionism!
