Weekend Edition: On World Stage, Obama NOT an ACTor

While listening to Jay Carney, the white house Press Secretary, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Baghdad Bob.

That was the name pinned on Saddam’s official Press Minister.

Baghdad Bob sat before a TV camera back in the early days of the war and told his people that there were no members of the United States military within 300 miles of Baghdad.

The truth was something else to be sure. At the time, there were indeed Members of the United States military directly outside the building from which he was broadcasting, We had that building surrounded.

Yesterday, in the white house Briefing Room, Jay Carney stood in front of a TV camera and told US that the, “Protests are not directed at the United States.”

Where exactly does one begin.

First of all, calling what is happening in more than a dozen countries, “protests” is a gross understatement.

At best, they are riots.

At worst, they are acts of war.

But “Protests???”

Second, Carney HAS become our version of Baghdad Bob.

If the attacks against our United States Embassies and Consulates, If the burning of our school in Tunisia, If the murders of 2 United States diplomats and 2 United States Navy Seals, If the ripping and burning of United States flags before replacing them with flags of al Qaeda, If the chants of “Death to America” are NOT directed at the United States…

To whom, EXACTLY, are they directed???

At yesterday’s service as the bodies of our fallen from Libya returned, Hillary Clinton made remarks. After remembering Chris Stevens and the others, Hillary than, again, made strong remarks disavowing the U.S. Government having a thing to do with the “movie.”

There is, I believe, a reason for this constant denial regarding the “movie” and the apologetic tone regarding the “movie” from the State Department.

Obama’s Messages Sent. Messages Received?

Our Embassies in Egypt, Libya, this morning…Yemen and Tunisia…It will not stop there.

Obama has blood on his hands.

It’s just that clear and that plain.

Obama’s actions and inactions in the Middle East and North Africa have led us, our allies and the world to the brink of disaster.

While Obama campaigns, touting his foreign policy “brilliance,” those very policies have led to acts of war against the United States and the deaths of our diplomats abroad.

Throughout 4 years of Obama’s foreign policy, he sends clear and unmistakable messages to our allies and our enemies alike. It’s brought about what we’re seeing right now across the Middle East and North Africa. It’s a disaster and, it’s going to get worse. What follows is a partial list of those messages.

For an American president to turn his back on Israel sends a clear and unmistakable message to our enemies in the region. Those are the same enemies of Israel.

Such actions as meeting with the Palestinian Authority combined with the inaction of never visiting Israel while occupying the white house tells these shared enemies that the United States will stand WITH the enemies and AGAINST our allies.

The actions of ushering Mubarak and Gaddafi out of power combined with the insistence that the Muslim Brotherhood have a seat at the table send clear messages that this administration wants Islam in control of the region and decades old peace accords rendered mute.

Inactivity by this perverse administration regarding the people’s uprisings in both Iran and Syria send the unquestionable signal that democracy, where Islamists are currently in control, is NOT something Obama wants to see.

It continues…

Liberals: Victims of Their Own Victimization

Victims.

We all know that liberals love victims but, it goes much deeper than that doesn’t it?

Liberals NEED victims and where they can’t FIND them, they’re more than happy to CREATE them.

Were it not for victims, liberals would cease to exist. They’d dry up and they’d blow away. There would be no further need for them.

This has been their Mode of Operation for DECADES.

It’s no different today that it’s ever been.

Class warfare.

Those in the middle class are now the victims of the upper class. Just ask a liberal.

It’s those vicious greedy evil people who HAVE money but aren’t paying their “fair share” of the taxes that are the problem. Right? They have to cough up more, and more, and more…Don’t they?

Never mind that those making $250,000.00 every year or more are already paying 64% of ALL the taxes while accounting for only 29% of the people…THEY’RE not paying THEIR “fair share” are they?

Therefore, if you fall below that magic $250,000.00 income number…YOU…ACCORDING TO LIBERALS…ARE A VICTIM!!!

Illegal aliens.

Those who break the law by entering our country illegally are victims.

Weekend Edition: DO NOT DRINK THE SHAMPOO

I have been reminiscing lately, about my childhood, and I have come to the most startling conclusion. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MIRICLE that I am alive today to reminisce about my childhood!

When I was a kid, the world around us was MUCH more dangerous than it is today.

A few days ago, while watching Elizabeth Warren at the convention, I decided the time was ripe to do something I had, for far too long, neglected.

I read the label on a bottle of recently purchased shampoo.

Along with all the directions, which can only be read with the use of an electron microscope, were the only words clearly visible from space…

“WARNING: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.”

Really?

My God given common sense has, so far, prevented me from drinking the shampoo.

As fascinating as I found Elizabeth Warren, I left the TV and headed for the bathroom where I started checking OTHER labels.

Did you know that your antiperspirant is ALSO for external use only?

Our hair dryer has a warning on IT too.

“WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM WATER – DANGER – DO NOT USE IN BATH OR SHOWER”

Set aside, for a moment, the shocking possibility of being electrocuted and consider…on the moron scale…where one would have to be to believe that, while in the shower, with the water running, one could get their hair dry.

Let’s face facts.

Weekend Edition: Obama’s American Dream Revealed

Over the last week, at both party’s conventions, there was one common theme.

Well…Sort of common theme.

Let’s say that the title of the theme was the same and leave it at that since that is where similarities ended.

That theme was…”The American Dream.”

Both parties talked about it. Both said they were for it.

It seems however, that they have two very different definitions OF it.

I suggest that to understand the “American Dream,” we need to step back from today’s contentious discourse.

From a literary standpoint, the tear, “American Dream” was made popular in 1931 in a book written by James Truslow Adams but, it’s not the origin of the phrase.

To find its origin as a written or spoken phrase, one must read Ben Franklin’s autobiography.

Clearly though, before something like that can be written, it must be conceived of and it’s quite possible, that concept began with the Pilgrims who longed for a land where they could worship as they saw fit.

America was accessible though far from their homelands, it offered security from their overbearing governments and it was a place from which they could have a new beginning.

It was dangerous. It was uncertain. Why…The trip TO America could kill you. There were no guarantees but there was…opportunity.

Eventually, the government control the Pilgrims had fled caught back up to them and again, rather than charting their own course and their own destiny, those who had sought freedom were again…Subjects.

Friday Fume

Thank GOD we only have to go through a week like this one just once every 4 years.

This was Liberal/Socialist National Convention and Entitlement Fest week.

In a way, it’s a somewhat easier week for those of us who watch the idiocy from a safe distance because, rather than being scattered to the winds, all the major bad actors are gathered in one place.

The downside is that it tends to magnify their ill behavior.

Their true colors come shining through, their abhorrent ideology is on full display and their complete inability to tell the truth become an open book. It almost seems as though, one after another, they’re trying to out-do each other in a race to claw through the bottom of the barrel.

Look…If you can get through the endless barrage of lies, absurd claims, false accusations and abject stupidity…One CAN pick up a few nuggets of knowledge.

My friends and Patriots…Today is Friday and…

I’m fuming.

Things I confirmed by watching the Democratic National Convention.

I confirmed that the only core value of the liberal/socialist party is…Hypocrisy.

It’s not really much of a value, core or otherwise but, when it’s all ya got…May as well bitterly cling to it huh?

Conservative’s War on Women Explained

Okay.

I’ve been putting a few things together. Connecting the dots, as it were.

You know how I enjoy connecting the dots.

Well, I’m going to do something here I have never done before. I am going to offer my assistance to the liberal/socialists.

Alright now, where to begin.

Okay. In a recent ABC News Poll…The numbers are somewhat startling for Obama. In April, Female voters preferred Obama 57-39%. However…the most RECENT poll shows a VERY different story.

Female voters NOW prefer Romney to Obama by 50% (Romney) to 46% for Obama.

My goodness. What happened???

For months now, angry liberal/socialists have been telling the nation that Republicans are waging a “war on women.” They’ve been painting conservatives as purely EVIL towards women. They say that Romney HATES women and Ryan HATES women.

They’ve said it and said it. From the campaign trail and every liberal/socialist spinning head pundit has said it and said it.

On Principle and In Fact, AKIN MUST GO!!!

 

In The most important election since 1860, a great deal is at stake.

To be clear, it’s not just the white house.

In order to start the process of taking our nation back, restoring the principles of our founders and framers, congress is equally as important as the presidency.

With the House currently controlled by conservatives, the urgency to keep it that way is pressing.

Also pressing is the need to swing control of the Senate from a liberal majority to a conservative majority.

There seems to be little doubt as to the House remaining in the control of conservatives but, each and every seat up for grabs in the Senate is crucial.

There is something else of a crucial nature which must be brought forward.

A Question for the Anybody But Mitt Crowd

Over a considerable amount of time and through the ability to do copious amounts of research, I have become reasonably good at figuring out political quandaries.

I don’t always get it exactly right but, I honestly wish I weren’t right as often as I am.

Finding the answers to questions regarding political ideology, political history, how dots are connected and the end games of certain politicians have become a passion.

I’d like to think I’ve become pretty good at it.

Currently, however, the answer to a most perplexing political question eludes me.

I’m asking for your help.

There is no cash prize involved, like the sum given to the brilliant mind which created the $50.00 light bulb but rest assured, you’ll have my unending gratitude.

Please, somebody…Explain to me exactly how…

Splitting the 2012 presidential vote between Romney, Gingrich, Paul, Cain, Palin, Johnson, Dummett, Tittle and any other number of known or unknown candidates of personal choice will defeat Obama.

Conservatives agree, after all, that Obama needs to be defeated and that if he isn’t, the situation is dire.

In that, at least, there IS agreement.

Thus, the quandary…

The National Patriot Celebrates

Friends and Fellow Patriots, the time has come to do something we clearly don’t do often enough.

We need to say…THANK YOU.

It’s just 2 words and they don’t come close to what we owe you, our readers, for all you have done for us at The National Patriot.

Tomorrow marks our 1 year anniversary.

Yep, The National Patriot is 1 year old and we  hope that you’ll indulge us as we step just slightly away from politics for just 1 article.

Because of you, our Patriot readers, The National Patriot has become one of the fastest growing new conservative sites available and we thought it might be time to let you in on why we do what we do here.

In February of 2011, my cousin, Patty Robichaud and myself decided to try our hand at writing political articles for a website called, Politicular. After 3 months, the purveyor of that site decided to go in a different direction although he did offer to sell us the site which we built for him.

It didn’t seem like a good idea and besides, nobody knew how to pronounce the name of that site.

Heck…Neither did we.

Patty and I took a month or so off but, to be quite honest, we missed it.

In Early July of last year, I approached Patty with the idea of starting over. Our OWN site.

A Name which could be pronounced even if my own last name eludes most people.

We enlisted Joe Ammendolia to assist with the technical aspects and within a couple of weeks, we had a site empty and waiting for content. Well, Patty had, with great foresight and wisdom, managed to archive what we had done at Politicular and so, she added that to our new site…Which explains why our archives at The National Patriot go back a few months deeper than our 1 year anniversary.

We recruited a few friends to contribute when they could and, on July 27th, 2011, we launched The National Patriot!!

The idea was simple.
