Come On, People Now, Smile On Your Brother ...

... everybody get together, try to love one another right now.

Let's all sing together for DNC chairman Howard Dean, who's calling for a return of the 1960's. Yeah, that decade.


(CNSNews.com) - America is about to revisit one of the most turbulent decades in its history, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told a religious conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. "We're about to enter the '60s again," Dean said, but he was not referring to the Vietnam War or racial tensions.

Dean said he is looking for "the age of enlightenment led by religious figures who want to greet Americans with a moral, uplifting vision."

"The problem is when we hit that '60s spot again, which I am optimistic we're about to hit, we have to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes," Dean added.


I don't know. The race riots. The rioting at the '68 Democratic Convention. The assassinations - two Kennedy's and Dr. Martin Luther King. Kent State. The "Great Society" - not so great, as it turned out. The "War on Poverty" - which failed.

It was no picnic for Democrats, who managed to lose the '68 Presidential election to a retread in Richard Nixon, then get absolutely swamped with George McGovern their standard bearer in '72. And that in the middle of an "unpopular" war. Is Mr. Dean really sure he wants the 60's again? I hope he hasn't been smoking any of those funny cigarettes.

Well, at least gas was cheap then. Okay, now, sing with me!

There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear...

Wictory Wednesday - June 28, 2006

Once again, it is time for Wictory Wednesday! Today's spotlight falls on Virginia Senator George Allen, a terrific conservative! Thanks as always to John Bambenek of Part-Time Pundit...

This week Wictory Wednesday is supporting the reelection of Senator George Allen of Virginia. Sen. Allen has been a consistent supporter of conservative values in the Senate, earning a place in the ranks of the American Conservative Union's Best and Brightest.

Sen. Allen is a supporter of fiscal conservativism and introduced legislations to require a balanced budget. He also supported a law that would dock congressmen's paychecks if they failed to produce a budget by October 1st. The idea that legislators should be penalized for failure to do the few things they must do is one that should be whole-heartedly supported.

While Senator Allen does support accountability for school systems and supporting programs that succeed, support for school choice is notably lacking. There is no better accountability than allowing people to leave failing schools, taking tax dollars with them.

Illegal immigration is an issue many legislators are running away from while Senator Allen has the courage to take a stand. He understands what should be common-sense, immigrating legally is a good thing, immigrating illegally is a bad thing. It is obvious that decades of not enforcing immigration law hasn't worked and perhaps it's time we give law and order a chance. We don't need to demean the people who came here while the government basically said it wouldn't enforce the law, but that doesn't mean blanket amnesty… or for that matter, lavishing rewards on illegal immigrants.

Lastly, while it has become chic for members of Congress to suggest it's time to surrender to America's enemies and to proclaim that America is the cause of every world problem, Senator Allen understands that no victory came through surrender. The war on terror and Iraq are difficult problems that lesser men run away from by planting their heads in the sand. Winning the War in Iraq takes time and with plans for troop reductions under way, it's clear that "stay the course" is not only a strategy, but a strategy that's working.

Please considering donating to Sen. Allen's reelection campaign or volunteering your time.

This has been a production of the Wictory Wednesday blogburst. If you would like to join Wictory Wednesday, please see this post or contact John Bambenek at jcb (dot) blog [at] gmail {dot} com.


Do you blog? Instead of just expressing anger and dismay at what is going on in Washington, D.C., please join us in working to increase Republican majorities, elect more conservatives and defeat liberals everywhere. It is the only way we will ever win!

Remember: Refusing to support Republicans won't hurt the RINO factions, it will only help Democrats and their far-left liberal kook base seize power! Thank you.

Quick Blog Update...

Busy, busy, busy!

I hope to be able to get the photo caption contest with Bush & Rove judged and posted sometime tonight, but it might not be up until tomorrow, depending on available time the rest of today.

I started researching a big project that I hope to get done with in the next week or two.

I have to update my scoring sheets on the photo contests, as well, as I would hate to end up having too many to tally at the same time at the end. The big year end championship post for the Caption Hall of Glory will be posted as soon after the conclusion of the 52nd contest as possible. For those that are wondering, the latest ongoing contest featuring Slick Willy is #50, so we are in the homestretch!

I know the Anthology site is hopelessly outdated, it is on my long-term to-do list.

And, yes, we are about due for another round of inductions into the Frequent Flyers Club. That will likely happen within the next few weeks.

Sorry for the lack of frequent posts, but I am trying to make this blog worth reading on a weekly basis at least, right now daily is a little too much to handle. Now, off to more chores and errands...

CUL8R!

Wictory Wednesday - June 21, 2006

It's that time of the week again, and this week Mr. John Bambenek has picked a terrific candidate to spotlight, especially given whom she is running against!

This week Wictory Wednesday presents Diana Irey for US Congress. Diana is running against ex-Marine Rep. John Murtha from Pennsylvania who needs no explanation as to why he should be replaced. This race began as what seemed to be an uneventful race against an incumbent who not only didn't expect competition, but is planning on making a run to become House Minority Leader.

Diana Irey served for ten years as commissioner of Washington County and served on a number of boards and commissions bring jobs and fiscal discipline to the local government. She supports not only lower taxes but lower government spending. While Murtha's campaign seems to revolve around nothing else but the Iraq War (albeit an important issues), Irey is approaching running for office with a variety of stances on issues including supporting victory in Iraq and treating soldiers with respect, not as criminals.

Most importantly Diana is not a beltway bureaucrat and has served only in local offices until now. She will not only bring a local perspective to a seat that is held by an individual more concerned with his own national profile, she will support balanced budgets and intelligent policy-making to a Congress that has shown itself to be free with the money entrusted to it.

Please consider supporting the campaign of Diana Irey for the House of Representatives for the 12th District of Pennsylvania.

The Conservative Cat

Articulate A Position. Please.

Thanks to the Times' Select Cone of Silence I had to obtain this information on a Frank Rich column from Tom Maquire. Given that source I believe the excerpt to be accurate. Mr. Rich is taking his customary jabs at President Bush over the war in Iraq, while simultaneously bemoaning the inability of the Democrats to craft a relevent position.



On the war, Democrats are fighting among themselves or, worse, running away from it altogether. Last week the party's most prominent politician, Hillary Clinton, rejected both the president's strategy of continuing with "his open-ended commitment" in Iraq and some Democrats' strategy of setting "a date certain" for withdrawal. She was booed by some in her liberal audience who chanted, "Bring the troops home now!" But her real sin was not that she failed to endorse that option, but that she failed to endorse any option.

Like Mr. Bush, she presented a false choice — either stay the course or cut and run — yet unlike Mr. Bush, she didn't even alight on one of them.

Mr. Rich, like all Democrats before him, and like all Democrats to come I'll wager, declines to define that third option. After all, if you don't articulate a position, what could there possibly be to criticize? And he's upset at Hillary? She at least recognizes that the fence she's trying to straddle has a sharp edge. And, like the Democrats, he caricatures administration Iraq policy without acknowledging the contingencies on which said policy is based. As if the hole he's digging for himself needed to be deeper:

Those who are most enraged about the administration's reckless misadventures are incredulous that it repeatedly gets away with the same stunts. Last week the president was still invoking 9/11 to justify the war in Iraq, which he again conflated with the war on Islamic jihadism — the war we are now losing, by the way, in Afghanistan and Somalia.

Defeatism is not a policy that America will embrace. Democrats, to their small credit, recognize this, which is why they get angry when they are made to go on record. Mr. Rich does not.


UPDATE: For more on this kind of defeatism, see the Wall Street Journal today.

As for Mr. Murtha's proposal that U.S. forces should redeploy to some nearby part of the Middle East, this is merely a disguise for what everyone would understand was a defeat in Iraq. Anyone who doubts it should merely listen to Mr. Murtha, who said again yesterday on NBC's Meet the Press that "We can't win a war like this." It's more accurate to say that our troops have a harder time winning a war with political leaders as inconstant as Mr. Murtha, who voted to commit U.S. troops but now lacks the will to finish the job.

That'll leave a mark.

Pelosi Decides!

I wondered if House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi would figure out what to do about Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana. She looked everywhere for help, but most turned their back or threw up their hands in puzzlement. It looks as if a decision was ultimately reached.

WASHINGTON - Add political banishment to the list of problems confronting Rep. William Jefferson, ensnared in a bribery scandal that fellow Democrats hope to turn to their election-year advantage.

"Democrats are determined to hold a high ethical standard," the party's leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, said Thursday night after engineering a 99-58 vote of the rank and file that stripped Jefferson of his seat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

"This isn't about proof in the court of law. This is about an ethical standard," Pelosi said. "I wish that the White House would do the same."

The White House? She's not mad about the Rove non-indictment, is she? Still, to her credit, I believe, she did the right thing in sanctioning a member of Congress who was found to have $90,000 of FBI marked bills from a sting operation in his freezer. Of course it's race that's the reason, not corruption.

Asked if he thought race was a factor in Pelosi's decision, Jefferson replied before the vote, "It's not happened before. The first time it's happening, it's happening to an African-American."

The assertion that race is a factor has already been floated by members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including Watt, who question why Rep. Alan Mollohan of West Virginia, a white Democrat who also is under investigation, was allowed to keep his seat on the equally powerful Appropriations Committee.


I strongly doubt that Mr. Jefferson's race was a factor, but I have to admit that the dissimilar treatment of Mr. Mollohan raises that question. I suspect a better explanation is that with the "culture of corruption" grandstanding that Democrats were doing they hoped that by not making a big deal out of the Mollohan problems they might be forgotton by voters. Then the Jefferson problem cropped up, fairly dramatically, and they were forced to deal with it.

But hey, good luck with that "culture of corruption" thing, Ms. Pelosi.

Senate Rejects Iraq Pullout

You can read the news reports and get more information that I'd be able to give you. I have a couple of observations, though.
  • It wasn't close. 93-6 was the vote, with the six being Kerry, Kennedy, Boxer, Feingold, Byrd and Harkin. Kerry and Feingold are the only two with presidential aspirations, firmly courting the irrational left.
  • Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, spoke up:

    "This is a war that is a grotesque mistake," countered House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. She called for a fresh strategy — "one that will make us safer, strengthen our military, and restore our reputation in the world."

    It'll be a cold day in San Francisco before Ms. Pelosi articulates such a strategy.
  • "Kerry called the vote "fictitious" and promised further debate next week on the issue."

    Fictitious? Well, he would know. Just like Christmas in Cambodia and the Magic Hat. And the Boston Marathon. And the Winter Soldier investigation.

Ms. American Spy

In honor of the momentous events of these last few days, I channeled my inner-moonbat and came up with (dare I say it): the world's very first Fitzmas Carol! A tune destined to be sung by joyous moonbats every Fitzmas Eve as they gather around the tree and exchange gifts! I hope you enjoy it...


Ms. American Spy
(Sung to the tune of Don McLean's American Pie)

A short, short time ago
I can still remember
How the "Plame Game" used to make me smile
And as I read those D-Kos rants
I got a big bulge in my pants
And thought maybe we'd get "Chimpy" for awhile

But then June 12th made me shiver
Fate became an "Indian Giver"
Bad news on the Internet
Precisely what I had fret!

Oh, I remember how I cried
When I thought of Wilson's "outed" bride
Something deep within me fried
The day that Fitzmas died

So don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly
This'll be the day donkeys fly

Did you see the film Loose Change?
And do you have faith you're not deranged
Though ev'rybody tells you so?
Do you believe in "Downing Street"
The "Memo" that'll get Shrub impeached?
And can you prove Kerry won O-hi-o?

Well, I know that Diebold rigs machines
'Cause the exit polls are all I need
Vote counts are just a ruse
I'd Rather trust CBS News!

I was a lone mid-thirties ne'er do well
In my Mommy's basement on her old-school Dell
But I could have sworn I was in Hell
The day that Fitzmas died

I started singin':
Don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly
This'll be the day donkeys fly

For nearly six years, we'd been overthrown
Reading psychotic rants in Rolling Stone
Believing every conspiracy
Will Pitt had to vent his spleen
With a quote he borrowed from Howard Dean
And a scream that came from you and me

Oh, and while Chimp's polls were looking down
Fitz dropped the ball and lost his crown
The Grand Jury was adjourned
No indictment was returned
And while Markos read a book on Marx
Code Pink protested in the park
Neil Young sang dirges full of snark
The day that Fitzmas died

We were singing:
Don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly
This'll be the day donkeys fly

Bash 'em, smash 'em, gut 'em all and trash 'em
Repukes get off, seems we just can't thrash 'em
All our hopes are fading fast
Nancy's built a House of glass
Those frozen assets could bite our ass
Didn't need that freezer full of cold hard cash

Thought TruthOut's scoop meant Karl Rove's doom
We envisioned his frog-marching gloom
Our cause it would advance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause Leopold's tale was far afield
Those "business hours" refused to yield
Do you recall "Sealed Versus Sealed"?
The day that Fitzmas died

We started singing:
Don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly
This'll be the day donkeys fly

Oh, and there we were all in one place
Moonbats lost in cyberspace
With no chads left to count again
So come on, Fitz be nimble, Fitz be quick
Indict some Rethug and make it stick
'Cause indifference is the fascists' only friend

And as I watched him on the news
My lips were clenched 'round some cheap booze
But no drink the store would sell
Could break Bushitler's spell
And as the "Plame Game" died out in the light
To cheers from the "Religious Right"
I saw Freepers laughing with delight
The day that Fitzmas died

We were singing:
Don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly
This'll be the day donkeys fly

I met a girl who'd popped some 'ludes
And I asked her to improve my mood
But she told me that she was gay
I went down to the DU board
Where I'd read the good news weeks before
But the threads there said the indictment wouldn't play

And in the streets Mother Sheehan screamed
Franken cried, and Al Gore schemed
No "truth to power" spoken
Air America was broken!
And the blogger I admired most
Armando from the Daily Kos
He hopped a Lear Jet for the coast
The day that Fitzmas died

And they were singing:
Don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly
This'll be the day donkeys fly

They were singing:
Don't cry, Ms. American Spy
We'll get Libby for his fibby
And then Cheney will fry
And that smirking chimp will finally wave us goodbye
Singin', this'll be the day donkeys fly!

UPDATE 6/16:

I fixed a line that I had inadvertently flipped in the original post, and altered it slightly:

But Air America was broken
No "truth to power" spoken!

is now...

No "truth to power" spoken
Air America was broken!

Sorry for the perfectionism, but it bugged me!

Happy Birthday, U.S. Army!



Our good friend Oak Leaf (yes, folks, he's a Lt. Col in the U.S. Army Reserve) wanted us to be certain to remember this special day!

And, oh yes, it happens to be Flag Day, as well.



God bless America and the men and women who have given so much to keep her free!

Wictory Wednesday - June 14, 2006

Once again, we proudly present Wictory Wednesday, courtesy of Mr. John Bambenek...

This week Wictory Wednesday is supporting the reelection of Jean Schmidt to the House of Representatives.

Congresswoman Schmidt is a supporter of private property rights against the rising level of abuse of eminent domain by cities and states. Emiment domain is the widely criticized practice by which local governments kick you out of your home, pay you a (now very deflated) price for your house, and then hand it over to big business. Some of the rampant abuse of eminent domain has had governments pay only $1 for property worth over a million, and the City of New London charging "back rent" for citizens who exercise their legal rights and challenged the city's eminent domain action in court. Congresswoman Schmidt is commited to ending the abuse of local governments by curtailing eminent domain.

Representative Schmidt has been a strong proponent of fiscal responsibility and has cosponsored legislation to give the President a line-item veto to help curtail the abuse of earmarks tagged on to legislation. She also understands that part and parcel of cutting taxes is reducing spending, not increasing it.

Lastly, Representative Schmidt understands that a nation worthy of the title of nation must secure it's borders. This is not to say all legal immigration should be stopped, but it should be a matter of common sense that immigration should be regulated and orderly. While it may be difficult to craft a a solution to illegal immigration, it does not follow that an open-borders, full amnesty, and large payoff to illegals is the way to go.

Please consider donating to Representative Schmidt's campaign or volunteering your time.

This has been a production of the Wictory Wednesday blogburst. If you would like to join Wictory Wednesday, please see this post or contact John Bambenek at jcb (dot) blog [at] gmail {dot} com.


Do you blog? Instead of just expressing anger and dismay at what is going on in Washington, D.C., please join us in working to increase Republican majorities, elect more conservatives and defeat liberals everywhere. It is the only way we will ever win!

Remember: Refusing to support Republicans won't hurt the RINO factions, it will only help Democrats and their far-left liberal kook base seize power! Thank you.

The Day That Fitzmas Died

Not a Good Morning to be a Moonbat!

Okay. Imagine, for just a minute, that you've lost your mind. You are a committed leftist, who really and truly ought to be "committed", who's body, mind and soul have been drowned in a sea of Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) since the 2000 election was "stolen" by the "fascists".

How do you feel this morning waking up to the news that Santa Fitz won't be coming to your house with that KKKarl Rove indictment you've been hoping... wishing... PRAYING for (even though there is no God, of course)? Not today, not ever!

It's too much to bear! Coming just days after your heroic "Freedom Fighter" in Iraq, al-Zarqawi, was iced by Bush in a transparent attempt to rescue his falling poll numbers and kick the Haditha story off the front page... and now, THIS has to happen! Why???

Just a month ago, TruthOut.org published an exclusive scoop promising ROVE HAD ALREADY BEEN INDICTED!!! Dear, Gaia, where oh where is that valium???

IT HAS TO BE ANOTHER CONSPIRACY!!!

Take a good look at the picture below, my little DUmmies. It's a photoshop, of course, and it is the only way it will ever happen: In the world of make believe, where those of you in the "Reality Based Challenged Community" dwell...


SOURCE

So consider this an open thread to enjoy the thrills of Schadenfreude. And if you find some delicious threads somewhere you wish to share, drop me a line via comments or e-mail and I'll post them when I can. For now, let me start us off with this...

DUmmie FUnnies: "Rove Won't Be Charged in C.I.A. Leak Case"

THIS POST WILL MOST ASSUREDLY BE UPDATED... STAY TUNED!

UPDATE #1:

IMAO: "Rove Is Unindicted and Out for Our Blood!"
ScrappleFace: "Rove Cleared, Zarqawi Dead, GOP Doomed"

UPDATE #2:

This is a MUST READ! Pure genius, Pat!

Brainster's Blog: "The Night Before Fitzmas"

UPDATE #3:

And the hits just keep on coming! This is hilarious...

The Politburo Diktat: "Jason Leopold Indicted"

Merry Fitzmas!

There's going to be a lot of teeth gnashing in the lefty fever swamp today:
The prosecutor in the C.I.A. leak case on Monday advised Karl Rove, the senior White House adviser, that he would not be charged with any wrongdoing, effectively ending the nearly three-year criminal investigation that had at times focused intensely on Mr. Rove.

The decision by the prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, announced in a letter to Mr. Rove's lawyer, Robert D. Luskin, lifted a pall that had hung over Mr. Rove who testified on five occasions to a federal grand jury about his involvement in the disclosure of an intelligence officer's identity.

In a statement, Mr. Luskin said, "On June 12, 2006, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald formally advised us that he does not anticipate seeking charges against Karl Rove."


I'm now off to the Daily Kos and Democratic Underground for an overdose of schadenfreude! ;-)
