The Statesman Vs. The Turncoat

By

It has been such an exciting week.  With our Turncoat President off reassuring Great Britain that he has no clue (or class), our House was graced with the presence of a true statesman, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  Unfortunately, Bibi was forced to explain to those of us who don’t have the luxury of galvanting around the world at the taxpayers’ expense that for there to ever be peace between Israel and the Palestinians, the Palestinians must actually want peace, not the annihilation of Israel (a small fact that strangely seems to elude our self-proclaimed smartest. president. evah.)

It is safe to say that some of the difference between Bibi and BO stems from the way they grew up and, in particular, how they spent those crucial first years crossing over into adulthood:

The values set in place then are quite evident today and are rather like the difference between having oatmeal for breakfast versus Fruit-Loops.  One is solid nourishment, the other sugary fluff with no real substance.  Bibi’s speech, delivered with proper eye contact and with only a few notes for reference instead being read off a teleprompter, was interrupted countless times by heartfelt, spontaneous applause as he stated simple, real-world truths that a majority of Americans already understand.  It was grand and it was glorious and it was a shame that President Walking Eagle would be conveniently absent to hear it.

And though it was somehow fitting our president would instead be mucking up a toast to the Queen of England, the truth is that it was actually rather embarrassing that a foreign head of state should be the one to provide such clear leadership to the American people.

Setting The Stage For Madmen

By

We’ve been wickedly busy in the real world here, leaving no time to write, however, we have managed to keep half an eye on current events and, needless to say, in our opinion a bad administration and Congress continues to be a bad administration and Congress.  Though it is heartwarming to see the ACORN falling from the tree, under the current bad administration and Congress we expect to see only that the worms scatter and they will therefore stealthily continue their invasion of America’s freedoms.

Of greater concern is what is going on in the Middle East.  We listened to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address the U.N. this past week at the U.N. Security Council Summit On Nuclear Non-proliferation and Nuclear Disarmament and applauded his straightforwardness.  He demonstrated real leadership in his plain-spoken statements; a stark contrast to President Obama, who merely reveled in the opportunity to wag his finger in a world spotlight yet continues to avoid taking any definitive stand against the enemies of freedom. 

But of course the White House expects us to think the President has things under control.  They now claim they knew about Iran’s second nuclear facility before the inauguration and …

“It’s important to see what happened today building on what happened in New York,” Obama said at a press conference to close out the week, adding that his overall strategy to keep an open hand toward Iran had succeeded in isolating Tehran on the world stage.

So that explains why once again Obama’s pantywaist rhetoric was promptly rewarded by yet another missil launch.  This time by Iran.  Who is apparently feeling more and more confident because of its sanction-cushioning economic ties to Venezuela, who with Iran’s help is now pursuing nuclear power.

Though I know her leader will meet the challenge head-on, I fear for Israel.  Sadly, Netanyahu will do what he must without any help from us until it makes economic (recovery) sense for the United States to become involved in another world war, for Russia, China, and North Korea have already seen they are in a position of strength because of Barack Obama and will not hesitate to become involved to further their own aims against us.

You’d think we’d have learned something from the great wars of the 20th century but what I see today is history repeating itself.  We have a President who fancies himself another Wilson, another FDR, and his embrace of their progressive failures are again allowing for – nay, they are succoring – the rise of madmen.
