If you’re my age you probably remember Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, a television series about wildlife. Too bad the host, Marlin Perkins, wasn’t around, because we’ve got a whole new “Wild Kingdom” to talk about and you don’t need to go to the Serengeti to see it.
I’ve written before how astonishing our current administration is, without a week going by that some new mind-boggling decision, non-decision, or legislative initiative is hoisted into the dust cloud of failure that is engulfing them. The lawsuit against Arizona, despite nearly 70% of the population supporting the new Arizona law is one of the latest examples. Folks were quick to jump on McCain as having political motives when he hardened his view on the Arizona border, but our President stops just short of administering a personal back rub to every illegal immigrant, and suffers barely a whisper from the “Press”. Not coddling that Hispanic vote are you? The motivation could not be more flagrant. And, Obama seems oddly removed from any concern about public perception of his performance or motives.
He continues to seemingly ignore the Gulf Oil Spill, and by the way, we can stop calling that a “spill” anytime now. A “spill” is a glass of milk, not an oil slick the size of Kansas. The country should expect weekly briefings from him with regards to the world’s largest environmental disaster. Of course, there would be nothing to report, because there has been no leadership from the White House on this. No commands coming from the command post. They have dispatched lawyers, instead of drilling and clean-up experts and have hampered, stalled or denied every effort by the State of Louisiana to mitigate the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico. Send more lawyers.
Lawyers, too, were involved in the latest example of blind leadership. The charges against a couple of Black Panther members who disrupted a voting center during the 2008 Presidential election were ordered dropped by Attorney General Eric Holder. You’ve all seen the footage. A “Panther” outside a local voting center waving a night stick and threatening folks on their way in to cast their vote. More footage of the same man urging people to kill “crackers” and their babies. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? The conviction was in place, just sentencing was due, and the entire case got dropped. Imagine a couple of White guys doing the same thing in a mostly Black neighborhood? Imagine, if you can, the field day the Press would have with that. Imagine the charges being dropped. There would be rioting in the streets.
I assume, as well, that this should open the door for some pretty colorful expressions of Free Speech outside voting booths this November. I’ll be yelling from the gun turret of a surplus tank over here in Milford. Should be no problem as far as I can tell. Folks should expect intimidation and threats of violence when they go to their local Middle School or Town Hall to vote, right? I mean…look at Iraq. Why should we be any different?
As though the economy wasn’t enough, and the social unrest that will accompany any further decline in it, Obama seems to breed chaos. It’s as though they want it. He has fueled the fire in Arizona instead of quelling it. The Black Panther situation is yet another signal from Washington that deep cultural change is the intent and if the shrinking number of Americans that still remember what this country is all about, and are not ashamed of it, don’t come out in force this November to stop this madness…well…we will all need a night stick, or worse, to go vote in 2012.

Amazing….
“More footage of the same man urging people to kill “crackers” and their babies. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? The conviction was in place, just sentencing was due, and the entire case got dropped.

It would be more like murder in the streets……. all the while the liberal media don’t even cover the story… Absolutely incredible!
On a related note……… referencing the old forum. Over the course of the four year existence of the forum I came to learn a lot from the other members. As I am about four years younger on average I had the luxury of learning from others experiences regarding deaths of loved ones and friends. As today I lost a family member. Learning from others experiences has tempered the loss. As I see that the death of a loved one or of a friend should not be met with surprise or shock, but rather something to be expected as a part of life. This realization can only add to the moments and appreciation of what I have today. I stick to my guns and maintain the bright side and that the cup is always half-full unless of course you focus on the empty portion………… it’s a choice.
I sincerely wish whoever is reading this to have a happy and fulfilling day.
Jimbo,
Yes..you’re right, there would be murder inthe street.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. It seems, and I’m not surprised, that you’re approaching loss similar to how I did. It just becomes part of you. The memories of the loved one do as well and in an odd but probably appropriate way, it makes ones appreciation of each day a little deeper.
Best,
Karl
Jimbo, I am sorry for your loss as well. Karl, another good “blog”. I am just sick about the state of our country…and tired of being called a racist because I disagree with the current admin. and his minions.
Bogey…thanks for reading. I, too, am sick aout the state of our country and the direction it is being taken in. I’m past worrying about being called a racist. This guy is ill-equipped for the job. I don’t even see how anyone can argue that at this point….
Karl related to your column and Bogey’s comments, I’ve had the following rant in me a week ago prior to the death of a family member. So it is not motivated by grief.
I predict this whole Obama gang and those who worship him are soon going to sink like a ship. As big bro said a year ago it’s inevitable because what he is proposed economically just historically does not work……….. now even his corporate whores Gen. electrics Jeffrey Emmelt and the head of his business Roundtable Ivan Seidenberg of Verizon have come out and declared that Obama does not like business to business does not like Obama. Even for the greatest kiss ups it is absolutely unavoidable that his tax-and-spend big government and catering to every social movement in the country from the multimillion dollar spending unions who fraudulently claim to represent the little guy to every liberal special interest from the abortion loving feminists to the traditional value hating atheistic secularists to the race merchants and those who only care about the gay-rights, it is just inescapable that they are have all overreached at a time when the majority in this country recognize that we need sacrifice and conserving over taking an opportunity for a big grab. Obama and his ilk when you look beyond the rhetoric and just the facts have represented nothing more than a big grab. They have all been exposed especially the liberal media, who I never appreciated just how far left they are until now. As you noted in your column of the Black Panther member in full view in broad daylight declares that blacks need to kill white babies. This is the same guy who was found guilty of voter intimidation as you noted in your column. Yet when the Justice Department headed by Eric Holder or………. you know the guy who declared the United States as a nation of cowards for not addressing the issue of race, had a chance they dismissed the case. You just can’t make this stuff up. Outrageous! Yet the mainstream media the liberal media remain quiet. Not only that but they proactively attempt to portray those in the tea party and those with traditional values as uneducated ignorant soulless racists etc.
I’ve been contemplating writing a book about this whole liberal narcissistic self-indulgent holier than thou crowd who make up the majority of baby boomers. The title of the book will likely be “The Worst Generation.”
The day of reckoning is upon them and the change will not occur because of any shred of altruism that may be buried within their souls, but instead will arise out of their own pathological narcissism and self focus as they begin to experience a rapid drop in their own standard of living. Basically I predict these elitists will join the majority. Not because they want to do what is right, but because they would prefer(consistent with their own narcissism) to save their own asses over their own elitist fantasyland self-serving idealism.
Barack Obama optimized this mentality of this group best when he himself said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Now doesn’t that quote just say it all? ………….. and the funny thing is that he and most of these narcissistic baby boomers are so deeply narcissistic that they can’t even see the absolute embarrassing and shameful truth that that quote reveals about themselves.
That said………… rant out
“I’ve been contemplating writing a book about this whole liberal narcissistic self-indulgent holier than thou crowd who make up the majority of baby boomers. The title of the book will likely be “The Worst Generation”"
You will find a lot of material out there so if I may suggest…possibly a trilogy? (-;
AWESOME!!! Don’t apologize for that rant, do it every week! You hit every nail on the head and I would encourage you to write that book and use that title…it is perfect. We are indeed the worst generation, watching this great nation crumble at the hands of a bunch of rookies with a philosophy I abandonded when “Moondance” was still in the Top Ten. They never grew up, the forge on despite every shred of evidence telling them they’re wrong. Obama will soon be taking 50%…that’s right…50% of your 401K retirement. Wait till that one sinks in with his followers…..
jimbo….sorry to hear of the loss of a family member…my prayers and condolences…..
you know what I’m so tired of these so called bullcrap compassionate bastards…..who have two sets of parameters for how they view rascism…..you know what call me a rascist….. when I see rascists bastards like these panthers acting very much like the klan in the south….themn its okay to tag them with what they are….people like these panthers and their neer do well NAACP counterparts move the cause many steps backwards…the NAACP used to be a proud organization…especially in the days of dr king….who fully understood the concept of coming together….bridging our differences and making a difference in our lives…if me and nunzio were out there….we would of been cuffed,jailed,and charged with civil rightsd violations….when you weaken the attitude toward all rascism being evil…..you weaken the whole concept of equality of all colrs,creeds,and genders
Joey…good to hear from you. Interesting, too, to hear Morris and Rove declare that the Panther incident is staged and deliberate. An attempt by the Obama Administration to motivate blacks…to the voting booth of course. It makes sense. They play the race card without hesitation or remorse, sue Arizona, and essentially do everything possible to coddle and acquire the Hispanic and Black vote. They also are trying to diminish and brand as racist, the Tea Party. Better hurry…November is coming,
Karl, If you think I hit the nail on the head just listen to Charles Krauthammer. I think he is a genius. He is a journalist/columnist, but also an award-winning psychiatrist. He nailed Obama long ago and continues to nail him with examples that Obama provides each week to prove the depth of Obama’s narcissism. When Krauthammer points this out each time it is really stunning.
It is as if Obama and his narcissistic followers believe that this country began with them, showing no deference or respect to the incredible generations that came before them who sacrificed, struggled, and toiled through so many challenges to make the United States a great country and leave us with a high standard of living and opportunities that most in the world can only dream of.
It sickens me when I hear these narcissistic elitists talk about their favorite topic………. themselves………. with no sense of humility or deference for those who came before them and built that which they all enjoy today.
I’ve been reading and listening to Krauthammer for a long time. He is a genius and a gentleman and, yes, he has been right on about Obama. I listened to Severin today talking about the admission by the Obamistration, that yes…people will lose their employee-based health plans in some cases and be forced to accept the government care. Companies are already eliminating coverage for employees as costs already begin to rise. Surprise? Not for anyone who has been paying attention. One of the first things Obama wanted to do was eliminate government funded medical care for veterans. “They’re volunteers, afterall” he said. Imagine? It was met with such outrage that he backed off immediately, but the fact remains…he wanted to do it…and would have. So it should come as no surprise that he has no empathy for throwing working people to the wind. It is more important that we care for citizens of outher countries who wander in here. By the way, if you want a good example of the liberal mindset, check out my columns at http://www.redhampshire.com sometime. I posted this weeks column regarding Roman Polanski and there are a few zealots on there who hammer on me, but it is worth the insight into how they think.
Karl, I heard your call to Graham today, LOL! Even I did not want to hear the “Einstein the worlds smallest horse” scenerio with the midget porn star…ok, I am lying do tell!
Joey! How are you???
I need to catch up on Krauthammer..I have always been a fan of his.
Bogey…look…your state has the world’s smallest porn star…”Bridget the Midget”, and we have the world’s tiniest horse. If you listened closely, while Michael was trying to get me off the air, I only suggested that perhaps they could get together and make a “cowboy” movie. You like cowboys, don’t you?
Karl…on another topic. Why does it take 150 people to be stung before they realize there is a killer jelly fish weighing 50 pounds (disguised as a log) in the water? (-;
That’s easy. The first 120 are too fat to realize they’ve been stung by anything. It would take an alligator bite to get their attention. The next 20 are too stupid and were busy looking for peanut butter and bread, the next five probably enjoyed it for sexually deviant reasons, the next four are animal lovers and didn’t want to get the jellyfish in trouble or have it be gassed like they do to gees in NH. The last guy called 911 to report a giant jellyfish. Any other questions?
I missed this story:
“”Bogey…look…your state has the world’s smallest porn star…”Bridget the Midget”, “”
Somebody do fill me in.

I recognize her from high school…..she’s no Big deal.;)
If it were legal, I’d like to kick Robert Gibbs in the balls. ……(what an arrogant, dismissive ass he is.)
In the past week the race merchants have thrown away their Viagra. ….(what a great time they’re having.)
Little hot under the collar here….but …have you noticed that these folks, black and white alike,(ie. talking heads or gov’t employees w/ plush pensions and benefits) who are so quick to label you as racist and want to indulge in a “national conversation on race” have secure jobs, unlike 20% of the rest of us, and want to indulge in a narcissistic intellectual exercise?
How about first starting with sound private sector job-creating economic policies first? ….then I’ll join them for tea and indulge in a self-important, intellectual “discussion.”
Get real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m pretty sure it IS legal to kick Robert Gibbs in the balls. Remember, though, he’ll probably enjoy it. And yes…let’s all have tea and a national conversation on “race’. Wait a minute….is that a Black President and Attorney General…? Wanna cancel that tea, please….
Laura Ingraham calls Gibbs “Mrs. Doubtfire” So, does he or does he NOT have balls?
Bogey…contrary to popular rumour, I have NOT seen Gibbs in Spandex. In other words, your guess is as good as mine.
Where’s ANDY at?
With some help from Dennis, we just got him squared away. He had lost his password. I let him know a few of us were chatting here. With any luck, he’ll pop up soon.
