The Saturday Claw 3-14-09

The majority of our nation has become addicted to a very dangerous drug over the past year. The Crawfish saw all of the symptoms, but didn’t figure it all out until blogger Saltwater diagnosed the problem. America is addicted to HOPIUM! We can only pray that it isn’t terminal.

For a long time, conservatives referred to CNN as the Clinton News Network, since they were so heavily slanted to the left, but liberals kept saying that the conservatives were just biases in how they perceived the slant of their network. Well, did we see their bias properly? Like Fox says, “The Crawfish reports, you decide.” One of CNN’s correspondents is running for President of El Salvador as a communist. Hmmmmmm.

Many people thought that once Jeremiah Wright, aka Rev. WRONG!, left the “Christian church” that The Chosen One attended for 20 years, but never actually listened to the sermons or believed in what the “church” had as its mission statement, that the extreme racism of Trinity United Church of Christ, based on Dr. Cone’s Black Liberation Theology, would go away. North Star Writers Group’s Paul Ibrahim recently attended a Sunday service at TUCC and guess what he found. They don’t openly say that they still believe in Black Liberation Theology, but it is still the basis of their “church.”

Just when you thought the weirdbeards of Islam couldn’t go any farther off the deep end, a religious court in Saudi Arabia sentenced a 75 year old widow to 40 lashes with a whip, jail time, and deportation. What was her crime? She had bread delivered to her by 2 men who were not “close relatives.” One was the nephew of her late husband and the other is the business partner of the nephew. Defend that lunacy, CAIR! “Religion of peace” my tail section!

Then there’s THIS outrage from the Followers of the False Prophet. Does CAIR have the nads to defend their false religion in THIS case? Hat tip to Townhall commenter Beachmom.

Blogger INTHENOW sends us this video reminder of what the Second Amendment is really all about.

Citigroup’s CEO says that the company showed a significant profit in the first 2 months of this year! The Crawfish wonders if gummint bailout money was considered part of the income side of the ledger for that one.

Here we go again. Another federal court is considering whether crosses along the highway, memorializing fallen state troopers in Utah, is a violation of the 1st Amendment’s “establishment clause.” Did the US Congress make a law regarding the crosses? If not, then the First does NOT apply! READ THE CONSTITUTION, NIMWITS!

The President of the Czech Republic publicly stated this week something that The Crawfish, GunnyG, and a host of other conservative bloggers have been saying for a LONG time. He said that the goal of the Glo-Bull Warming activists is not to save the planet, but rather to stop global economic development.

As The Crawfish promised, when President Obama does something positive, I will note it. The President is confronting the teachers unions this week by endorsing merit pay for teachers that perform well and weeding out the ones who aren’t worthy of teaching our kids. Although he is still keeping this in the federal prevue and using federal money (both unconstitutional, as education is a state/local issue), The Crawfish applauds this as a good first step. Then again, The Crawfish applauds anybody who opposes the teachers unions, even though he might become a teacher in the not-too-distant future.

Then the President turns around and floats a trial balloon with his new VA Secretary. Let’s save a few taxpayer dollars by charging veterans for health care for their service-related injuries and illnesses. If he wants bipartisanship, this might get it…with opposition from 75% of Capitol Hill!

What country are we in? The Miami Heat of the NBA aren’t sure of the answer. The uniforms that they wore on Monday night had the team name of “EL HEAT” printed on the front. Yes, the mezzicanization of the US does get The Crawfish miffed. I’m tired of hearing Spanish everywhere I go, and seeing billboards in our cities in languages other than English. There is no legitimate need for Spanish language TV and radio anywhere except tourist hotels. Don’t even get me started on voting ballots in 100 languages.

Recently, the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) have been making a huge deal out of Rush Limbaugh saying that he wants Obama’s socialist policies to fail. Turn the calendar back to August of 2006, and you’ll find…SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! Most Democrats said that they wanted George W. Bush to FAIL! Heck, James Carville even said that he certainly didn’t want Bush to succeed…and said that on the morning of September 11, 2001!!!!!!!

Howard “rrrrREEEAAAARRRR!!!!!!” Dean is warning Republicans to not oppose Obama’s “perfect” health care plan. He still claims it is not socialized medicine. The Crawfish is still looking for justification of it in the Constitution, but that’s a never ending search with the Democrat’s living, breathing Constitution. I’m sure that I won’t find it in the one dated 1787, nor in its 27 ratified amendments.

I don’t always agree with Patrick J. Buchanan, but his column from this week comparing the mistakes of imitation Texan LBJ to what imitation adult Barack Obama is doing is one worthy of my readers.

Hey Secretary Napolitano, do you STILL claim that the drug cartel violence in Mexico has not spread across the border? If so, you might want to try reading about what’s happening in Atlanta.

Meanwhile, Mexican President Calderon is also in a state of denial as he states “I have not lost any part…any single part…of Mexican territory.” 7,200 murders in the past 14 months, including the police chiefs of numerous towns, cities, and even STATES would suggest otherwise. Anyway, he says that Mexico needs the help of the US in the battle, but not any military intervention. I guess we need Michelle Obama to start another “Just Say No” campaign.

CAIR and other proponents of the religion of hate have their panties in a wad over a woman who was asked to get out of line at a Navy Federal Credit Union because she was wearing a head scarf. NFCU has a strict policy of no hats, hoods, or sunglasses inside their branches, and many other financial institutions have put that same policy in place to fight the increasing numbers of bank robberies. If she doesn’t like the policy, she can go to another bank that has a drive through! The spokesman for CAIR says her Constitutional rights are being violated. Of course, he’s talking outta his rear end because NFCU is not Congress making a law. By the way, CAIR…what was this muslim woman doing out of the house unescorted by a male relative, as required by the laws of your hate-filled “religion”??? Darn, am I on your watch list AGAIN???

Why is our society so litigious? Now it has gotten to the point that a special law was needed to shield companies from lawsuits resulting from TERRORIST attacks! Yes, people will sue over anything, thanks to The Silky Pony and his brother trial lawyer scumbuzzards.

Are y’all ready to be outraged at Red Nanny P-Lousy (as if that’s not your normal sentiment towards her)? Judicial Watch has secured documents showing how she treats the military in general, and the Air Force in particular, with complete contempt, disdain, and arrogance as she demands to be treated like she personally owns every asset and service member. I’m almost beyond comment, but that isn’t the case for Michelle (***sigh***) Malkin!

A school in Virginia that has close ties to the Saudi government has revised its textbooks on Islamic history by removing some of the passages that could be seen negatively by people from other religions. The school and the new books do not say that the previous passages are incorrect. They just took them out to be less “offensive”. Islam is still an intolerant false religion that treats women as chattel and demands the death (or enslavement) of all non-muslims, and REQUIRES death to all who abandon Islam. Maybe that is why our muslim-born President (his father was muslim, so by Islamic law, so is he) is being so friendly to the terrorists and their supporters.

Speaking of religion-based education, why is it that some judges do everything that they can to prevent children from getting a CHRISTIAN education, even if the kids are testing out 2 grade levels above their age? Tip of the hat to Poll Katz member Ginny.

Keeping on the topic of anti-Christianity, former lead council for the ACLU, SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is hinting that she might be stepping down from the Court. Normally, The Crawfish would be quite happy at the possible exit of the most anti-Constitutional SCOTUS Justice in recent history, but the fact that her replacement would be named by The Chosen One, and therefore would be even more against that sacred document, dims my optimism.

The Texas Native part of me says that this might be a good idea but the “I don’t eat foods that burn my face off” side isn’t so sure.

And the ties of Barack Obama to the muslim world continue to pile up. Earlier this month, He named Vivek Kundra (from India…first job was as a telemarketer) as His Chief Information Officer. Now, Kundra’s previous office, the DC Office of the Chief Technology Officer (Kundra’s previous title), gets raided by the FBI, and the names of those being arrested on bribery charges seem to have a certain Arabic flair to them. Is The Crawfish the only one seeing this continuing pattern?
UPDATE: Kundra is on leave from his White House job as the situation sorts itself out.

The Obama Administration is now actively going after America’s Sheriff, Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, because he has the AUDACITY to enforce immigration laws. Since the Obama Administration is trying to turn those 20 million illegals into legal Democratic Party voters, this will not do!

Get this! One out of every five dollars that Taxachusetts is going to get from the “stimulus” bill is going into projects to promote the Kennedy family. One of these is the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate, which gets $5,800,000.00 just to PLAN AND DESIGN! Really now, how much money does it take to open a bar with topless dancers?

Obama’s choice for the Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, Chas Freeman, has been featured in The Claw a few times. He has been highly paid over the years by the Saudi government, has sat on the board of a company owned by the ChiCom government (after making statements partially supporting the Tiananmen Square Massacre), and is vehemently anti-Israel. Since others besides The Crawfish actually noticed this, he has withdrawn his nomination and blames the Israeli government for lobbying against him. He says that his record has been “distorted”, which means (in Democrat-speak) that everything negative that has been brought forth against him is true.

Do Democrats know the meaning of “conflict of interest”??? Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) doesn’t seem to understand the concept.

If y’all come across any weird/stoooopid/strange news stories that might be fodder for The Weekly Claw, e-mail them to me at at1aw_usn@yahoo.com and I’ll consider ‘em. Yes, I will give you newshounds credit.

Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?”

    Another Great Issue here Crawfish. I know I’ve said it before but I will say again, you and your Buddies need to run for office or become civics teachers.

    Thanks for all you do to put these together for us. Your columns have become a definite part of my weekly schedule.
