Visiting The ACORN Office In Disguise

Visiting the ACORN office in disguise can take on various forms.


“ACORN.  Disguise what you do on these applications.  You don’t want to put down you’re  insurance and drug company lobbyists.”

Computer Morphed Relatives Go On Display

Moonbattery has a display on some Photoshop work.   It is just amazing an enthusiast can sit down and punch out a piece without much effort, once they set their mind to it.

Caution.  Graphic for the politically correct.  Hint: a play on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Blitzkrieg The Airwaves Sunday September 20, 2009

Seeing things from another’s perspective can sometimes be just so enlightening.  For your viewing and satirical pleasure, today we have The Sibyl Speaks on Blitzkrieg News at Daily Motion, in THE interview of all the Sunday morning talk shows.  Click here for the video

The Telegraph spotlighted the hype of recent political rhetoric, that set the stage for The Sibyl interviews “Barry.”

Should the proposals fail to become law in the next few weeks, Mr Obama’s young presidency could lose a lot of its lustre and promise. Suddenly an entire presidential agenda seems to hang in the balance…

Splatter warning!  Put down that beverage before watching Blitzkrieg News.  Can also be seen at Daily Motion

Dressing Health Care Reform For Success The White House Way

In April 2009, the Chicago Tribune politely touched on First Lady fashion by asking Who made Michelle Obama’s dresses? and then making rave comparisons to that of famous faces. 

But of late, the take on first lady fashion judgment has been polar opposite.  Understandably, not everyone is gifted with a style that could rival Coco Channel‘s.  Given the situation, most people would hire accordingly, since delivering a statement can never be made as convincingly if the package is not dressed to impress.  Or at least not dressed to distract.

Michelle Obama: A Staff of 22 Attendants, Not One Can Help Her Dress?   It is true.  Michelle Obama has staff of 22 assistants.  To the tune of $1.2 million taxpayer dollars per year.  Amongst those, certainly there could be a few to guide the dress selection hand and offer an opinion.  But it may be that Michelle Obama’s Stylist Takes a Day Off.

Just as Michelle Obama on ObamaCare: This is very much a women’s issue, so is the presentation of the messenger.  And if this presentation is how the White House is selling health care reform, the book contents are being judged just as reflective as its cover.  ObamaCare: The Problem is the Substance.  That is why Rasmussen: ObamaCare hits highest disapproval rate yet.

NY Governor Thrown Under The Bus

Obama Requests That Paterson Drop New York Campaign at NYT.  Looks like one certain president believes one certain governor is a party pooper for one certain Democratic party in New York state.     

The move against a sitting Democratic governor represents an extraordinary intervention into a state political race by the president, and is a delicate one, given that Mr. Paterson is one of only two African-American governors in the nation.

But Mr. Obama’s political team and other party leaders have grown increasingly worried that the governor’s unpopularity could drag down Democratic members of Congress in New York, as well as the Democratic-controlled Legislature, in next fall’s election.

The long and the short of it is that Paterson’s performance approval has been steadily dwindling down to 30 per cent, in contrast to Democrat Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s 74 per cent approval.  Cuomo has been thinking about tossing his hat into the ring.  So has Republican Rudy Giuliani, who has stirred the New York waters, and could catapult a critical number of tepid Republican voters into a spirited race. 

Unable to keep from meddling, Obama personally okayed the decision first presented by unnamed political advisers, to ask Paterson to clear himself out of the picture.  Backroom politics in Washington, D.C., to clear the field in a state governor’s race?  Paterson goes under the bus.   

Just another attempt by the current administration to feed it’s political power ego by interposing itself in a political process, and annoint its chosen one.  Seemingly similar to the way the DNC tilted the playing field to Barack Obama against Hillary Clinton in June 2008.

Portugal Stone House Draws Parallels To The Flintstones House

The Flintstones, “a parody on modern suburban life, set in the Stone Age,” was enjoyable for both kids and adults.  Those who recall the fun in being entertained by the episodes Saturday mornings, will find a nifty little pleasure in this earthen find.

They’re the modern Stone Age family… so is this the REAL home of the Flintstones? at the Daily Mail asks a very good question.  Recall the humble abode of The Flintstones of the 1960′s era.  And then check out this home in Nas montanhas de Fafe in Portugal.   More images here.

Obama Using Backdoor To Give Illegals Health Care

Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care brought to you by the Washington Times. 

“Republicans see a backdoor move toward ‘amnesty’”

President Obama said this week that his health care plan won’t cover illegal immigrants, but argued that’s all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.

He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered – a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.

Crying Wolf Diminishes The Significance Of Racism

The idea that racism was at the root of Representative Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) outburst, “You lie!” directed at President Barack Obama during the prime time presidential address to the Joint Session of Congress, was truly a shocker.  But so claimed former president Jimmy Carter.  Telegraph.

I think it’s based on racism.

There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.

Jimmy Carter plays the race card.  Telegraph’s Janet Daley rightly pointed out the utter fallacies behind the notion that race underlies behavior toward the President.  Instead she clarified for those with weak rationale and seemingly contemptuous motives.

Americans have profound fears about central government taking power away from individual citizens and those fears are legitimised by the Constitution. They have every right to express them without being smeared as “racists.”

Then out of the woodwork, a Congressman Suggests People Will Don ‘White Hoods’ If Wilson Not Rebuked.  Fox. 

Making an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on “white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside” if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example.

White hoods and white uniforms riding through the countryside hooked up with subtly supported by Wilson?  Simple deductive capability fails Representative Hank Johnson, except of course, that he is a Democrat intent on taking down a Republican target by planting seeds of hate and hysteria.

Even mainstream media can see that crying wolf lessens the significance.  ‘Racist’ claims defuse once powerful word.  AP via MSNBC.

The word is being sprayed in all directions, creating a hall of mirrors that is draining the scarlet R of its meaning and its power, turning it into more of a spitball than a stigma.

The real conundrum is Flashback: Carter Called Obama a ‘Black Boy’.  Jammie Wearing Fool.  The protective Southern fatherly description of “this black boy,” with the stark prediction of transcending race.  Has not happened. 

…just knowing that this black boy who grew up with just a loving mother and grandparents…

And if Obama is elected, which I think he is going to be, then I think that will be the transforming race for the end of racism, and prejudice, and hatred between races in this country.

Charles Krauthammer, in his calm, erudite, and supremely on-the-mark psychoanalysis on the liberal agenda and motivations, discussed the accusations of racism on Fox.  Such an excellent use of words.  ‘Special Report’ Panel on Political Charges of Racism.  Fox.

The accusation of racism is a sign of desperation by people who know they are losing the national debate and they want to hurl the ultimate charge in American politics.

This is dealing from the bottom of the deck, and I agree that it is a disgusting tactic. It’s done as a way to end debate. The minute you call somebody a racist, the debate is over. You don’t continue. I mean, accusations of racism are the left refuge of the liberal scoundrel.

It is a deliberate attempt to change the subject and discredit the opposition with an un-proveable and unproven ad hominem.

Ad Hominem.

  1. appealing to one’s prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than to one’s intellect or reason.
  2. attacking an opponent’s character rather than answering his argument.

Annoy a liberal.  Use facts and logic.
