Will the Hating Ever Stop?

President Obama is on his way to Prague this week to meet with EU members. The bright and informed citizens of Prague have decided to protest the building of a U.S. missile base there by tossing effigies in the Vltava River of George Bush and Condolezza Rice?



Well didn't anyone tell them that GW was no longer in office? Or weren't they informed that Hillary is the SOS and Condi has returned to private life?

Of course Reuters is all over it with many pictures of the exploits of the dummies throughout the day. Because dummies of GW Bush and Condolezza Rice are so newsworthy.

One would think that if you were to protest the actions of a nation like the U.S. you would direct your ire towards the sitting heads of power. What message are they trying to send? "Tell George and Condi we don't want their stinkin' missile base in the Czech Republic!" Sure thing Jakub. I'll pass that message right along.

When America Needs to be Kicking Butt, Obama Kisses It

We've come a long way baby! We have the first African American President. And he bows to Islam. That is so wrong so many levels. First off I believe that as leader of the free world he should not have bowed to a dictator. Secondly there is no way a man who considers himself a Christian should have bowed to an Islamic leader.

I am sure many people, especially on the left, will try to play this down siting all kinds of diplomatic meeting protocols and past Presidential behaviors. But the bottom line is President Obama is suppose to represent America. He claims to be Christian so he is suppose to represent Christ too. In this instance he does neither.

Happy Blogoversary To Me

Well according to the widget I put in the sidebar, today marks the 4th anniversary of my starting this blog. Oddly enough I have not posted anything in over a month and lately I find it increasingly difficult to get motivated to post.

Don't get me wrong. I have had many ideas about Obama's winning the election, his handling of the economy to date, and his handling of his critics. I find that I have had some pretty strong opinions about racism in light of the "police shooting monkey" cartoon and the "chimps" book in the midst of the Obama book display. The whole Rush Limbaugh thing But I just can't seem to get myself motivated to put those thoughts to paper, (or computer.) I feel like why should I write when nothing will matter? The liberals are dismantling conservative reforms and really sticking it to the working class. They make no bones about turning America into a socialist cesspool. It makes wanting to write very difficult. Maybe I have a little bit of depression going on. Also one of my favorite things have gone by the wayside. The Thursday Thirteen folded up. I really miss them.

So what am I going to do about it? Well I guess I will have to force myself to post. And I am thinking about another format change. My current blog template is an old throwback to Blogger 1.0. I left it that way so the comics section would display correctly. Well it's been awhile and no one has mentioned the comics. As browsers advance, the little trick that allows the comics to display is failing. So I am going to upgrade my blogger template which means most of the comics go away. You will still see Day by Day and Dilbert.

Let's keep this up for another year and see how I feel then! Thanks for visiting!

Interesting Quote

The truth is, however, that if you go to South America, you will find a huge number of conversions to Protestant Christianity. If you go to Korea, you will find Christian churches with 100,000 members. If you go to China, you will find 100 million Christians. And if you go to Africa, you'll find that countries whose populations were only five percent Christian 100 years ago are now 50 percent Christian. These trends have not gone unnoticed by historians, who are startled by them and have attempted to explain them away, and they are the empirical basis for my claim that God is doing very well in this world. What's important to understand is that the New Atheism is not a triumphant cry of success, but rather a bitter reaction to the success of religion. -Dinesh D'Souza

Historians Rank George W. Bush Among Worst Presidents

Wow. Roughly 32 days into the Obama era and "historians" have labeled Bush one of the worse 10 Presidents of all time.

The worst presidents, according to the survey, were James Buchanan at 42, Andrew Johnson at 41, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison, Warren Harding, Millard Fillmore, George W. Bush, John Tyler, Herbert Hoover, and Rutherford B. Hayes.

How can that be? I mean they ranked him lower than nut case farmer Jimmy Carter. That fact alone tells me there is political agenda behind the ranking more than an objective look at the presidencies of 42 men.

"How we rank our presidents is, to a large extent, influenced by our own times," Medford said in a news release. "Today's concerns shape our views of the past, be it in the area of foreign policy, managing the economy, or human rights. . . . Lincoln continues to rank at the top in all categories because he is perceived to embody the nation's core values: integrity, moderation, persistence in the pursuit of honorable goals, respect for human rights, compassion; those who collect near the bottom are perceived as having failed to uphold those values."

So if these scholarly historians perceive Bush to be a bad president in the context of today's concerns, they feel justified in putting him in the bottom 10.

U.S. News and World Report mentions another list of 13 Worst Presidents. GWB didn't make it but Nixon did (tied at 9th with Hoover)and Carter was #11. The bold names above made both lists.

Regardless of the current list I think George W. Bush was a good president. I certainly don't think he was one of the 10 or even 20 worst. Time will adjust his position, like it has for Ronald Reagan who has just now cracked the "Top 10 Best Presidents" of these same liberal historians. It takes time for them to figure out what exactly a good president is.

Quote about the Stimulus Package

In an open letter disseminated by the Cato Institute, two hundred economists stated, "More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan's 'lost decade' in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today."

Black Jesus Has Come

I had often joked about how moonbats had elevated Barack Obama to the status of god. Well the Dutch have really gone the extra mile. A Dutch newspaper actually depicts Obama as God.

But the picture in free newspaper De Pers probably best sums up the mammoth expectations of the world on President Obama's shoulders. It prints a rendition of Raphael's The Transfiguration with the first black US president depicted as Jesus, flanked by two prophets, the clouds looming behind him lit up. The headline reads "Black Jesus has come".

True feelings or paper selling hype? I thought the latter until I read a little farther.

The Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander told a press conference in Dubai that the inauguration of Barack Obama was "probably more important than the release of Nelson Mandela".

The election of the United States' first black President was monumental but I seriously doubt President Obama faced the persecution Nelson Mandela did. I get the feeling that there are a great many people whose grasp of reality is tenuous at best.

In closing I would like to treat everyone to this video;Hope and Change Fulfilled from the good folks at The Nose On Your Face
