All Syrians Aside

As great as the need may be for preventing the use of chemical weapons, as well as deterring (i.e. kicking the behinds of) those who use them, unless there is a demonstrable direct threat to our country, it’s not our place to go it alone.

In the case of Syria, there is as much of a potential threat to the U.S. if John Kerry’s “secular” rebels manage to turn that country into an even more malignant terrorist hotbed. Unfortunately, the choice between oppressive secular regimes or thug snuggeries seems to be the only option these days. Any freedom-loving citizen of a Middle Eastern Muslim country disagree with that assessment? Raise your stump.

I believe there is such a thing as doing the right thing, but the reason for the opposition is, in Peggy Noonan’s words, “Wrong time, wrong place, wrong plan, wrong man.”

If a strike supported only by the U.S. and (ahem) France tempts regimes like Iran to save face after promising to retaliate by hurling brimstone into Israel and Lord knows where else, and if it triggers a full-scale war, throttling the supply of oil to some of our lovely fair-weather friends, like China, the finger pointing is only going to be in one direction — well, two directions, but who gives a flying frappé about France?

I don’t have any qualifications as a military strategist, so I'm apparently on par with the Commander in Chief, but if we can take a decade or so to knock off the world’s worst scum, then I think it’s a good idea to hold off until we come up with an approach that doesn’t risk a touch of Armageddon, if you please.

And do we really want the same minds who haven't even come to grips with the Benghazi attack one year ago, making decisions about something like this?

Besides, the truth has finally come out as to what caused all the hubbub in Syria in the first place. You guessed it: global warming — SUVs, Big Macs. All our fault.

It's Sunday

If you’ll pardon my language, I have a simple message for the President of the United States of America.

They can’t follow if you won’t lead, asshole.

Now, I’ve said a lot of nasty things about our last three presidents. A lot of nasty things. But I don’t think I’ve ever been tempted to personally address any of them as “asshole.” Not until today. Not until witnessing the most embarrassing and embarrassingly public performance by a world leader on the world stage. Monica Lewinsky could have been giving Bill Clinton a blowjob right there at the podium during the State of the Union address, in front of all the cameras, and it still wouldn’t have been as air-suckingly horrific as the low-rent Vaudeville act we’ve watched Obama and Kerry put on these last few days. Because in the Clinton-Lewinsky scenario I just described, at least the President is the one getting serviced, instead of dropping trou, bending over, and giving the whole world an invitation to do whatever — because, “You know, whatever. It’s only foreign policy. It’s not like it’s something important, like giving public money away to some buddies of mine who just swear they can build a magic car battery.”Or siphoning money to your half brother who is in charge of the monies for the Muslim Brotherhood, which is backing the terrorists in Syria, who are Al Qaeda.

During Dick Nixon’s impeachment hearings, the question was, “What did the President know, and when did he know it?” Turned out, Nixon knew plenty, and knew it all quite early enough to get him driven out of the White House. With Obama the question is, “WTF? I mean WTeffingF? Doesn’t this asshole know anything?” And the answer is no, and yet we’re still stuck with this SCoaMF for three and a half more years.

I’m sure the Republic will survive. But I’m not sure we’ll recover unless the next President is Ronald Reagan crossed with Chuck Norris crossed with George Patton crossed with Jesus.

I know just the guy. Allen West. Am I right?

Actually, as funny as this piece is and as tempting as it is to look at what Obama is doing and conclude that he's a complete and utter dumbass, my take is that this has all been carefully orchestrated (oh, not by Obama..he really IS an utter dumbass) and that we are likely seeing the

pieces being moved on the chess board to bring about the destruction of Israel, eliminate the threat of a Shiite power grab via Iran, and ultimately consolidate a new Caliphate in the Middle East under the powers of the Sunnis via Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Oh...and destroy the last vestiges of our Constitutional Republic with its separation of powers.

Nice little trifecta on foreign policy with a little added bonus of ending freedom in the United States.

Here's my gut-level analysis:

Journey to the End of the World in 20 easy steps.

1. Obama has, since taking office in 2008, systemically and deliberately been destroying the energy producing sector of our country. This has to make Saudi Arabia happy. And it puts us as at a SERIOUS disadvantage to fight a protracted war in the Middle East.
2. Obama's family members have strong ties to Marxism, violent revolutions in Africa, Sunni Islam, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Not the kind of background that makes you feel he's on our side.
3. Within Islam, the Shiites and the Sunnis hate each other and are struggling for ultimate power - the new Caliphate.
4. Saudi and Turkey are Sunni. Iran is largely Shiite, and though Syria is predominately Sunni, its rulers are Shiites. In other words, Syria and Iran are damn upstarts and need to get whacked.
5. Obama allowed Mubarak's government to be overthrown. He did nothing when the Muslim Brotherhood took over (which everyone saw coming)...except to approve. When the army stepped in, he got all pissy about "coups" and democratic elections. 
6. Obama toppled Gaddafi and completely destabilized that region, a region that provides more terrorists fighters to Al Qaeda and crew than almost any other in the Middle East.
7. The last person Ambassador Chris Stevens met with on the evening of his death was the Consul of Turkey.
8. There is strong evidence that our government was running guns and weaponry through the Benghazi consulate with Turkey's involvement -- to the Syrian "freedom fighters."
9. If we strike Syria, Iran has already stated that it will retaliate -- by hitting Israel.
10. Israel has given them all the finger and promised massive reprisal if Iran pulls any shit.
11. Russia and China have warned Obama to stay out of it -- or something really bad might happen.
12. Obama is saying he just wants to throw some bombs around. He doesn't really want to get involved. WTF?
13. Russia is explaining to Prince Dumbass that would be "involved."
14. Approval for this stupidity is at around 9% among an American electorate that can't usually distinguish their ass from a hole in the ground, but this one time they seem to be paying attention.
15. But this resistance from the American people just plays into Obama's hands because now, to appear conciliatory and diplomatic, he is going to politely twiddle his thumbs and wait for Congress to reconvene in another week so that he can ask them to handle this CRISIS by giving him the go ahead. They will say no. Then Obama will say, "Fuck you" and go ahead anyway.
16. This will effectively destroy any power Congress has left against the Obama juggernaut of tyranny because it is an altogether different critter to just go ahead and start shit (lots of presidents have before Obama), then it is to ASK FOR PERMISSION AND THEN GO AHEAD AND START SHIT ANYWAY AGAINST CONGRESS' STATED "NO WAY, JOSE. SIT THE FUCK DOWN."
17. This is like our Prince Dumbass saying, "If Congress doesn't act, than I will." Really, bucko? REALLY? Yes, really.
18. So we hit Syria. Iran hits Israel. Israel rains death and destruction on their picnic cloth heads. Russia and China step in. It's game on.
19. BOOOM!
20. The End

It's Sunday, so I suggest you all start praying.

Dennis and Kim Jong Sitting in a Tree……

So, Dennis Rodman went back to visit Kim Jong Un again. Do I hear wedding bells in the future? So exciting!  The only question remaining is where to set up their love nest.  I think Rodman can make a good case for moving the family to America.

• With the downfall of DOMA and living conditions in Detroit mimicking those in North Korea, Dennis can finally convince Un that they can have a happy life together in Michigan.
• With the packs of wild dogs that have moved in, there will be plenty of food for them in Detroit.
• With the collapse of the Detroit housing market, they can pick up land for a palace on the cheap.
• Having been born and reared under liberal rule, the residents that remain will be welcoming a benevolent dictator willing to selflessly tell them how to live their lives.
• Having been raised learning the merits of Keynesian economics, the remaining populace will be easy to convince that dedicating all of their time, possessions and talents to erecting the Un palace will lead to an unprecedented economic boom.  And the project is shovel ready.
• There will be plenty of unskilled laborers to work in his new Kia factory.
• If he builds his silos in Detroit, his nuclear missiles might finally be close enough to reach America.
• He won’t have to go all the way to Iran to find Muslim terrorist allies anymore.  There are plenty of them just a stone’s throw away in Dearborn.
• Despite gun control laws, the Detroit mob would be perfectly happy to supply a psychopath like him with all the weaponry he needs.
• If he sneaks into the country soon, he should have amnesty and full citizenship in less than 6 months.

Obama Administration Now Harassing the American Legion With IRS Intimidation

The next evil patriotic American group that Obama is using the IRS to intimidate is that well-known, dangerous organization going by the nefarious name the American Legion, the veteran’s group that has been around since WWI.
The American Legion was founded in 1919 after the so-called “war to end all wars” (which sadly didn’t turn out to be what the sobriquet promised) by American veterans who returned from fighting “over there.” Its legion halls have for years served as a place of comfort for veterans, a place where they could go to feel welcome and associate with others who had been in the military–those who know what it’s like.
But, now Obama is targeting them like one would the sort of organization one would want to intimidate and destroy, just as he has with Tea Party groups and other conservatives.

Obama has unleashed on each American Legion post new rules that may levy upon them a $1,000 per-day fine for not giving the government a detailed roster filled with the personal information of each member.
As Daily Caller reports, “The American Legion was referring to a 13-part section of Part 4, Chapter 76 of the Internal Revenue Manual pertaining to ‘veterans’ organizations.’”
The Legion feels that this rule cited above–the one abused by Obama IRS operative Lois Lerner to attack the President’s political foes–will hit them hard and are taking action with its membership to address the matter.
Cincinnati’s Ben Swann recently did a great piece on WXIX Fox 19 discussing how the IRS is flat out refusing to obey the law and Congress by releasing the demanded documents to show what it has been doing over the last four years.
It is just typical of the most lawless President and administration in American history.

How to Do a Show of Force in Syria

So what’s going on here? Obama is going to ask Congress for approval on attacking Syria? When has he ever cared before about following the Constitution when he can just do a power grab?
Well, the idea of us getting in a war with Syria is really unpopular, and he has no international backing. At the same time, he’s been talking about a “red line” if chemical weapons are used so he’ll look like a little twit if he does nothing. So the guy needs an out. That’s why all of sudden he’s like holding up this document and saying, “See, it says here in the Constitution I need Congress to authorize a war.”
And everyone is like, “That’s not the Constitution. That’s the Magna Carta.”
And Obama is like. “Oh… well, they’re basically the same thing — just old, faded documents. So anyway; up to Congress now and it’s tee time.”
So, the point is how do we get Syria to listen to us about not using chemical weapons and slaughtering people? We have enough nukes to wipe any country off the map, but no one cares because they know we won’t use them. It’s like if the Empire had the Death Star but never blew up Alderaan and the Emperor was for decades going, “You better do as we say, or we’ll destroy your planet!” without ever actually firing the super laser. Eventually everyone is like, “Whatever, wrinkles. And what’s with the hoodie? We’re you really affected that much by what happened to Trayvon?”
So, what we need is a show of force to let Syria know we’re Syria-ous. Here’s some ideas:
* Let’s write a letter to Syria saying we’re really, really serious about them not using chemical weapons. And let’s underline “serious” in the letter for extra emphasis. Maybe we could also write the word in all caps, but we don’t want to look like a nut.
* Let’s have a big conference in Syria with a bunch of booths set up on America’s various weapons. That way, Syria’s government officials can look at the technical details of their potential doom. “Here’s a pamphlet on our bombs. Just imagine what it would do to your house. Actually, you don’t have to imagine; the explosive payload of it is well documented.”
* Have our best in Hollywood do a series on YouTube showing what it would look like if we attacked Syria. With the best special effect available, it will really look like Syria is already being bombed. Maybe it can be released to theaters and put in 3D too if that will help with the propaganda. Oh, but make sure Hollywood knows this time to not have the American soldiers be the bad guys. Plus, if you have the CGI budget, can we attack Syria with dinosaurs with rocket launchers on them? And you better somehow fit a love story in this to keep it interesting. Also, so it’s not racially offensive, let’s replace the Syrian bad guys with white Europeans.
* Have Obama go on TV and hold up a kitten and say, “This is Syria.” Then he can shake the kitten really hard. You don’t want to be that kitten!
* Threaten to overthrow the Syrian government and make the new Syrian president Ben Affleck.
* Say we want to have a meeting with Syrian officials. But the diplomats we send are… Chuck Norris and Mr. T! BAM! POW! They’ll be picking teeth out of the walls from that meeting. And if Syria keeps it up, the next diplomats we send will be the entire cast of the next Expendables movie!
* This almost goes without saying, but nuke the moon. The Syrians will be like, “If the Americans can nuke the moon, think of how much easier it will be to nuke us who is much closer!” There’s nothing nuking the moon can’t solve — unless your problem is too much radiation on the moon.
So, there you go. But no matter what we do with Syria, the point is we should have fun doing it.
Or maybe the point is to discourage the use of chemical weapons.
Eh, I don’t know what the point is. Why are we maybe getting in another war again when the last couple were supposed to be so horrible?

Pause For Prayer

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with President Obama, and his decision to attack Syria as punishment for chemical weapon use, it is prudent, and we are personally requesting, for all of us, regardless of disposition, to pause and pray for the safety of our nation’s soldiers who will be tasked to carry out the command.

Like many, perhaps most, I do not support the approach – Nor do I think it is in our nations best interests. However, regardless of my disposition I am certain that our military will execute their objectives with unparalleled professionalism and respect for duty.
We should not be quiet; yet we should not bitch and moan without purpose.
We should fight like hell to have OUR voices heard by our representatives; and we should demand those who we have elected to hold the Executive Branch to account…..

…. and then, in the final analysis, if our voice is overruled – regardless of our frustration or angst, we should present ourselves on bended knee and pray for those who ultimately are charged with carrying out the decisions of our national leadership.

It is from the diligence of our brave military we are able to rail, protest, and demand voice
