The Weekend Claw 11-6-09

TheCrawfish — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:08:37 +0000

If ya ain’t outraged, ya ain’t been payin’ attention!

The Crawfish knows that there are a lot of folks out there who are displeased with the direction in which this country’s government is heading, but they feel helpless to do anything about it. Yeah, there’s blogging, letters to the editor, maybe even a Tea Party or two, but is that really going to matter? To those people I say YES! Keep up the pressure with those activities, but also realize that there are many grassroots efforts underway to help bring about the kind of CHANGE that us Constitutionalists and conservatives want to see. One of those efforts was started by some of the bloggers on Townhall.com. It’s called “We’re Watching You!” That group is doing its part by initially specifically targeting 10 Congressional seats held by Democrats/liberals/enemies of the Constitution (sorry for repeating myself) in the 2010 election cycle, and possibly adding more to the hitlist as their support grows. If they can generate some support, they might be helpful in returning those seats to sane, patriotic, real Americans. It is important that we all get involved with groups like “We’re Watching You!” so that we can take back our nation from the likes of Barack Obama MMM MMM MMM, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, John Kerry, and John Murtha. It doesn’t take a lot of time and money, just a bit of dedication to Truth, Justice, and the American Way! Go visit their website and see if you support their efforts.

Fort Hood. Once again the Religion of Peace shows its true colors and demonstrates why no muslim can be completely trusted by a non-muslim. Their so-called religion commands that all non-muslims be converted, enslaved, or put to the sword (or in this case, shot). The shooter was a committed muslim, and even though he was born and raised in the United States, he listed his nationality as PALESTINIAN. Witnesses to the carnage say that the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar!” as he began firing, which is typical of an Islamic terrorist. His colleagues paint a picture of a muslim who opposed American involvement in the Middle East and said muslims needed to repel the invaders. It’s kinda obvious where his loyalty lies.

Tuesday was a big night for the GOP in America, with the top three positions in Virginia, the Governorship of Noo Joisey, and even a large number of offices in Connecticut (hat tip to Poll Katz e-mailer “Terri”) switching from Democrat control to the Republicans. The state of Maine even made news by becoming the 31st consecutive state to have voters ban heterophobe marriage. This seismic shift was a big blow to the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party, but according to White House Arrogance Secretary Gibbs, the President wasn’t even paying attention to the election returns. The Chosen One spent the whole weekend campaigning for Corzine in Noo Joisey, and then he didn’t pay attention to the results? Does Gibbs actually expect the public to believe that blatant lie?

Speaking of lies from the White House and the Democrats in general, their latest report of jobs “saved” by the “stimulus” bill has even more holes below the waterline and is sinking fast. The report has 935 jobs being saved at a non-profit in Georgia, when only 508 people work there. It seems that raises and benefits increases are counted by these people as “jobs saved” and they even multiply the number of jobs at a company by the percentage raises to inflate their numbers. Then again, these are the same people who say that removing tax cuts, thereby raising taxes, is not a tax increase. Democrat logic and math on full display (the math brought to you by the teachers unions). If you really want to know what’s up with the “stimulus” money, Neal Boortz and Senator Tom Coburn are glad to oblige. You’ll really be shaking your head after you read that one.

I ain’t done yet. Last week, Senator Lieberman came out with a statement saying that he would support the GOP in a filibuster if the Senate Obamacare had a socialist option, er…”consumer option”. Senate Majority leader Dingy Harry Reid then had his minions, er…staff, go out and tell liberal interest groups that he had a deal with Lieberman to actually support the Democrats against a GOP filibuster. Lieberman’s spokesman, Marshall Wittman, had this to say in response to questions about the lies that Reid and his staff were spreading, “If you believe this story is true, you will also believe that I am replacing A-Rod in game six of the series.” He reiterated that “Senator Lieberman’s clear position is that he will vote for the motion to proceed to the health care bill because he supports health care reform that will control costs and insure people who don’t have it now, but will oppose cloture on a final bill if it contains a public option.”

Puh-leeeze tell me y’all saw this lie a mile away. Back in September, Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy said that she was “absolutely” and “without question” committed to posting any Obamacare bill in its entirety online for examination a full 72 hours before any vote. As of Friday afternoon, Red Nanny was pushing for a Saturday afternoon vote on the bill, even though the language was still being worked on by the Democrats. Her nose is getting so long that she can sniff her district from DC.

One major race was not decided on Tuesday, and that would be the mayoral election in Atlanta. The runoff will pit a white female against a black male, and it WILL get ugly. For some Atlanta perspective on the matter, check out what Neal Boortz has to say. I’m sure he’ll have more commentary as the runoff date of December 1st approaches.

Newt Gingrich was on Sean Hannity’s radio and television shows on Wednesday evening, trying to explain away his endorsement of the far-left liberal in the NY-23 special election. While he did admit that his endorsement was a mistake, he put the blame on the 11 Republican county chairs in Noo Yawk who put forth Dede Scozzafava as their preferred candidate. While I agree that those 11 folks should be immediately fired from their positions, I don’t buy Newt’s excuse either. Before you endorse someone, you must know something about that person and their views. A pro-Card Check, pro-union, pro-ACORN, pro-abortion person who is supported by a group, Working Families Party, that is far to the left of Nancy Pelosi simply has no business being endorsed by any Republican. Michael Steele and the RNC didn’t do their homework on this, and it cost them over $900,000.00 in campaign contributions, much embarrassment, a Congressional seat, and (hopefully) their jobs.

Michael Smerconish interviewed Scozzafava on Thursday, and she claimed to be a solid Republican, with a 90+% conservative voting record. That’s highly doubtful, but it was enough for Smerconish to say that the Republicans are making a big mistake by excluding “moderate” and “centrist” Republicans. Sorry, Mike, but anyone endorsed by the Working Families Party is not a moderate. They are far left. Besides, when the GOP stands for conservatism, the GOP wins. When the GOP stands for a squishy middle to middle-left, the GOP loses. Pay attention to the results from 1980, 1984, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2006, and 2008.

The Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Senator John Cornyn, seems to have gotten the message from the NY-23 debacle. The “GOP establishment” gave Charlie “I’ve got a great tan” Crist an endorsement in the Senate race in Florida because he asked for it, but the NRSC is NOT going to get actively involved in the battle for the nomination, pitting “moderate” Crist against conservative Marco Rubio.

The Obama Administration is continuing its kowtowing to Islam and its war against Israel. SecState Hillary! is touring muslim lands, meeting with/sucking up to arab leaders, and reiterating that the current American government doesn’t want Israel to halt settlement construction, but rather to end it forever, saying that the US does not recognize the legitimacy of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. What kind of illegal drug is she smoking? The West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan heights are rightfully Israeli property as of the end of the 1968 war in which the arabs tried to exterminate Israel. Israel can do whatever it wants with that property. This is kinda like China objecting to any new American housing projects in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California because that land used to belong to Mexico. Once again, The Crawfish must ask why American Jews continue to back the Democratic Party.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Navy intercepted a ship filled with munitions for the Islamic terrorist group Hizzbollah, including Katyusha rockets and anti-aircraft batteries, and the Islamic terrorist group Hamas has acquired Iranian-made rockets with the range to strike Tel Aviv. With all of this terrorist activity, the Obama Administration continues to say that Israel is the bad guy in the Middle East?

I think we may have found another 25-year-old supporter of Barack Obama, in the form of Eric Hunt of Archbald, PA. This moron has filed suit in Broward County, Florida (surprise, surprise), against an 80-year-old survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau, asking for “not less than $60 million” for spreading lies about a Holocaust that he claims never happened in order to further the Jewish agenda. A few years ago, Hunt assaulted Nobel Peace Prize awardee (this one was valid) Elie Weisel in an elevator, but got a minimal sentence from a liberal judge. Somebody puh-leeeze stuff this guy into a deep, dark hole until his brain is fully functional.

Here’s yet another update from the Religion of Perpetual Outrage, proving once again that they really are sub-human. Are their any rebuttals from CAIR?

I know it ain’t really necessary, but I’ve got another example of the stooooopidity and intolerance from the Followers of the Pedophilic False Prophet. People who have a choice actually join this so-called religion voluntarily? Look for Minnesota’s Representative Keith Ellison to make those regulations part of Congressional legislation in the near future.

Y’all probably thought that the anti-Constitution stands of the Democrats for Year One of the Reign of His Majesty King Barack I would be limited to “stimulus” bills, bailouts, federal takeovers of auto manufacturing companies, Obamacare, and Crrap-and-Tax. No, my young Padawans, they’ve got lots more up their sleeves. Take Pennsylvania’s Paul Kanjorski, for example. He wants to give federal regulators the power to force large companies to break themselves up into smaller entities. Kanjorski knows that there are Constitutional limitations on the powers of the federal government, but responds “limited power… its not clearly defined. We’re going to be evident in the power.” Yes, ladies, gentlemen, and otherwise…you read it correctly. He’s another Democrat who believes that the Constitution is an optional document.

It appears that the Chicago Tribune has been reading the blog of one of The Crawfish’s Townhall readers, Patriot 76. I knew him when he was just a wee blogger…

Townhall commenter “buck” hit the nail on the head when responding to another of the Townhall blogs. He wrote, “That get voted out of office by the ‘astroturf’ will understand they are STILL out of office whether they call us astroturf, rubes, hayseeds or just rednecks clinging to guns and religion. What they should have called us is: ‘Boss’”

While the Democrats put forth a 1,990 page monstrosity of a bill to overhaul the health care programs of our nation, they ridicule the Republicans as having never put forth any plan of their own, as if they’d even bring up a Republican idea for discussion. Well, the GOP is FINALLY starting to return fire, and here is a video and plan outline from House Minority Leader Boehner. The plan outlined includes a number of items that The Crawfish and other conservatives have been hollering for all year long, such as tort reform and the ability to purchase insurance plans across state lines without mandates for coverage items that are not needed (a family of a husband and wife who cannot have any more kids and have a single son do not need obstetrics coverage, but most states mandate that coverage in all family plans). Here’s the summary, in a one-page pdf file, and here is the whole House GOP bill, which at 219 pages is only 11% the size of the P-Lousy Obamacare bill.

How much pure stoooopidity is in the Pelosi Obamacare bill? Well, just check out what it has to say about vending machines. Then again, the last time I checked, the only thing that vending machines had to do with health care was that they are usually located in or near hospital waiting rooms.

Remember when the idjut Congresscritter from Florida said that the GOP health care plan was for sick folks to “die quickly”? Well, it appears that the DEMOCRAT plan for uninsured sick people is for them to “Die within six months!” See? I can play that game, too.

Townhall commenter “clyde” sent in this story that’s bound to have y’all shaking your heads and wondering about the sanity of some people. How bad does a guy have to be with the ladies to do this repeatedly? The lady shoulda just shot him.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! It now appears that The Crawfish was ahead of the times when I started calling a certain truth-challenged gasbag “The Prophet Algoracle.” Newsweek’s science editor now has an article out calling him an “Eco-Prophet” while managing to completely ignore all evidence showing that the earth has been in a cooling cycle for a decade. Why bother with facts when there’s an agenda to prop up? The Goracle has now even gone to the point of comparing Glo-Bull Warming to the Civil Rights Movement. To quote that Great American Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon!”

An anonymous e-mailer sent in this nugget of gold. What does it say about the priorities of the Obama White House when General McChrystal, SecDef Gates, and US Trade Representative Ron Kirk have a hard time getting face time with The Boss, but SEIU chief Andy Stern and socialist puppet master George Soros can get seen immediately whenever they happen to be in the area? Whoever sent that e-mail…thanx!

Regular Claw contributor “beachmom” found an editorial column at, of all places, PRAVDA, about a couple of Russian lesbians who travelled to Canada to get “married” in order to force Russia to change their marriage laws.

Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas asks one of the questions that The Crawfish is known for screaming. Does the 10th Amendment really mean anything, and can it save us from our current leadership?

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

30 Years Since Iran Takeover of US Embassy

Flag_Gazer — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:29:38 +0000

…and, once again, it was celebrated by burning the American flag.

Repeating the post I did several years ago….

November 4, 1979 - The Iran Hostage Crisis

“…in the aftermath of 9/11, we said, “My God, it began with us.”

Bruce Laingan

Charge d’affaires of the US Embassy and Hostage

Iranian students take over the United States Embassy in Tehran, Iran

United States Embassy Hostages

On November 4, 1979, thousands of Iranian students, overran the US Embassy and took about 90 people captive. The non-Americans were freed. Later, some were freed, including the women (except for two) and blacks (except for one), on the grounds that they were unlikely to be spies and had suffered enough with the oppression of the Americans. Another hostage was released in July 1980 due to illness. 52 hostages were held for 444 days. Six others had escaped and taken refuge at other embassies. On January 28, 1980, Canadian diplomats helped these six to flee Iran. The Canadian Embassy was then closed.

Thousands of other protesters pressed around the embassy compound, responding to the call by the country’s new leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, to attack US and Israeli interests. They demanded the return of the shah, Muhammad Reza Pahlevi, for trail and execution.

President Carter eventually halted oil imports from Iran, imposed a complete economic embargo, froze Iranian assets in the US and began diplomatic efforts to free the remaining hostages.

The hostages were finally released on January 20, 1981, moments after President Reagan was inagurated.

Today, the US Embassy in Iran serves as a museum to the revolution. It was opened in 2001. Outside the door are two bronze statues: the Statue of Liberty and a portrayal of one of the hostages. It is still the stage for angry demonstrations to chant anti-US and anti-Israeli slogans and to burn flags and effigies.

*********************************

Twenty seven years ago, the country gasped in horror as the symbol of America and our freedom was taken over in Iran. We stayed up to watch the news, to hope and pray for their release. Nightline with Ted Koppel was born for the purpose of covering the event. It was the first strike in our continuing war with radical Islam.

The Weekly Claw 11-3-09

TheCrawfish — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:21:48 +0000

Hope y’all had a fun Halloween. The Crawfish Family’s scary moment came the morning after Halloween when The Crawfish went to walk the family dawg. As we stepped out of the house, we found that the exclusively INDOOR cat belonging to kid #1 had escaped the confines of the house sometime during the evening and had spent the night outdoors. Not a good thing considering the fat ball of fur has no claws to defend himself with. He was cold, wet, and scared, but four hours later he tried to get out of the door again. What can I say but…his owner is a BLONDE!

How desperate are the Jon Corzine campaign and the Democratic Party of Noo Joisey in the gubernatorial race? How about desperate enough to pay for robocalls in support of independent candidate Chris Daggett, in hopes that voters will waste their vote on Daggett instead of voting for Republican Chris Christie. Liberal commentator Chris Matthews was on the Michael Smerconish radio show talking about this race, and he was disgusted by the lies and negative campaigning of Corzine. Matthews said that an incumbent should be able to run on their own record, instead of trying to tear down the opponent. If they can’t, then it is a sign of weakness.

The city of Atlanta is on the verge of electing a white woman as Mayor. Atlanta has not elected a white Mayor since 1973, and the race warlords are supremely upset that it might happen in 2009, saying they need to keep the city under “black control.” Atlanta isn’t the only part of our nation where reverse discrimination runs rampant and is even condoned, as Ashley Stinnett of North Star National shows. Where are the words of Martin Luther King Junior when we really need them?

There has been one television commercial running in The Crawfish’s area that has been quite telling. The Democrats of Montgomery County, PA, are highlighting the fact that all nineteen elected judges in the county are Republican, and they’re asking if that’s fair. Is it FAIR? Is it fair to have the PEOPLE elect judges who come from a party that respects the laws as written instead of going by what they feel the law SHOULD say?

I sense a deep disturbance in The Force, for I am once again linking a column from Hal Donahue. Deputy SecDef William J. Lynn III (first of all, never trust someone who uses name, middle initial, last name, and a III or higher number, for they are an elitist snob with a lack of real qualifications) is now admitting to Congress that the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda is NOT going to be a world-class medical establishment, as had been advertised. Heck, it’s not even gonna have all of the capabilities that were available at the OLD Walter Reed and the OLD National Naval Medical Center. It is, however, a great example of a government project, as it is inadequate, poorly planned, not meeting expectations, is behind schedule, and is WAAAAAAYYYYY over budget. In fact, it is the poster child for the “Consumer Option” or whatever Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy and Dingy Harry Reid are calling the socialist option this week. Why aren’t the veterans organizations, such as the VFW, American Legion, Fleet Reserve Association, Air Force Association, The Retired Officers Association, The Retired Enlisted Association, etc. up in arms and making a BIG stink about this? Vets who belong to these groups, CALL THEM! Everybody should contact their Congresscritter and Senators. This is a crock of natural fertilizer!

A FRICKIN’ HUGE tip of The Crawfish’s hat goes to Townhall commenter and regular Claw contributor “beachmom” for finding something quite interesting on the “Recommended Reading” page of the National Education Association. Most of us just assumed that this was being pushed upon the teachers, but now we have proof!

Over the weekend, supposed Republican Dede Scozzafava saw the light and dropped out of the special election for the 23rd District of Noo Yawk. On her way out the door, however, Scuzzy showed the world exactly what we’ve been saying for a couple of weeks. She is not now and has never been a Republican. She is, in fact, a far left Democrat, maintaining positions and associations to the left of her Democrat opponent. On Sunday, Scuzzy formally endorsed her Democrat opponent and Red Nanny P-Lousy, which is only fitting for a person who supports the Democrats’ agenda and is a supporter of ACORN, even endorsed by the Working Families Party (a political wing of ACORN that describes itself as “New York’s livliest and most progressive political party. Formed by a grassroots coalition of community organizations, neighborhood activists, and labor unions“. Michael Steele and the GOP “establishment” have just had a 2×4 applied to their foreheads. Will they finally see the light and stop putting forth Democrats to run as Republicans? Will they finally get the message that the Republican Party needs to stand for some core values? I doubt it.

Sometimes I gotta admire the judicial systems in other nations. This is definitely one of those instances.

Holy cow! The El Lay Times is finally realizing that there are folks out there who are opposed to the Obamacare bills because of the unConstitutional mandates! Next week’s breaking headline from that rag might be that some of us actually disagree with Barack Obama because of his IDEOLOGY, not his race!

At least Senator Hatch of Utah is concerned about the mandates. He said that if the federal gummint can force Americans to buy health care plans, “then there is literally nothing the federal government can’t force us to do.” Just another reason that the Affirmative Action SCOTUS Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, should have been vigorously opposed. The Constitution is NOT a living, breathing document, in spite of what the left keeps trying to shove down our throats.

White House Arrogance Secretary Gibbs was asked about Senator Hatch’s concerns. Reporters even gave him this question, “Do you not feel there is any concern at all about whether it is Constitutional for Congress to impose a mandate?” His answer was, “No.” They don’t have any concern about a question of CONSTITUTIONALITY? AMERICA, ARE YOU HEARING THIS?????

The Obama Administration, in its never-ending quest to kowtow to Islam, has now announced that the terrorists being held, for now, at Gitmo will receive vaccinations for the H1N1 virus. The only injections they SHOULD be receiving are those of the 5.56mm and 7.62mm variety. Then again, since this is the SWINE flu vaccine, and muzzies are forbidden to have anything to do with pigs, are we going to be forcing them to violate their religious beliefs by giving them the injections, thus further inflaming the Followers of the Pedophilic False Prophet? Expect a lawsuit from the terrorist supporters at CAIR in 5….4….3….

Townhall blogger “Saltwater” sent in an article from the UK that shows just how far the nanny-state has progressed over there. Don’t think that it couldn’t happen here as well.

North Star National’s Dan Calabrese is wondering why House Minority Leader Boehner is only complaining about the size of the P-Lousy Obamacare bill, when there’s sooooo much on the inside worth attacking. I guess it’s up to the new media and us bloggers to get THAT word out.

For those of you who actually have a life, and therefore cannot spend the time to read and study the 1990 page Obamacare bill, here’s a few of the NEW TAXES that are embedded within. Do any of you still believe Obama’s promise to not raise taxes on anybody who makes less than $250,000.00 per year? Didn’t think so.

If you do go through that bill, you will notice that it is mainly another government jobs and government control bill, as it will bring about one hundred and eleven new federal bureaucracies. How in the world are you going to improve health care if you submit it to that much gummint bovine excrement?

How do y’all like this bit of language from the House bill: “Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.” As the Capitol Confidential notes, “So, you can’t try to seek alternatives to lawsuits if you’ve actually done something to implement alternatives to lawsuits. Brilliant! The trial lawyers must be very happy today!”

If you want some TRUTH about the results of tort reform, check out the update that I recently received from Senator John Cornyn of the Great State of Texas.

Oh, and just to make sure the bill gets even more expensive, The Messiah is lifting the 20 year old ban on persons who are HIV positive from immigrating into the US. Great, let’s bring in a bunch of AIDS cases and put them on the “consumer option” health plan so all of us heterosexual, monogamous, non-druggies can pay for it. Was this another payoff to the wonderfully moral people of Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy’s home district? That story came from Poll Katz e-mailer “Terri.”

It is quite obvious that the “doctors” at the White House photo op recently didn’t have any Medicare patients as clients, if they were doctors at all. No doctor that treats Medicare patients could support a health care bill that doesn’t stop the upcoming 21% slash in Medicare payments. Doctors who treat Medicare patients will soon find that they are losing money every time one of those patients walks through the door. Pretty soon, the docs will revise a saying from the workers in the old Soviet Union, “As long as they pretend to pay me, I’ll pretend to provide health care.”

Even though Red Nanny trumpeted that her plan came in under the magical $900,000,000,000.00 price tag that The Annointed One said was the absolute limit, and it still doesn’t include the $250,000,000,000.00+ necessary to prevent the slash in Medicare, Congressional sources say that the ACTUAL price tag of the P-Lousy Bill is already over $1,200,000,000,000.00, and it is still rising.

Townhall commenter “clyde” gets yet another tip of the hat for sending us a story from the Obamassociated Press. Their headline refers to the muzzie imam who was shot when the FBI raided an Islamic terrorist cell in Michigan, and were met by gunfire, as a “Murdered Radical Islamic Leader.” He wasn’t murdered. He was sent to meet his 72 virgin male camels on Viagra by federal agents who were lawfully returning fire from a bunch of muslim terrorists.

“Ginny” of the Poll Katz found a headline that y’all simply won’t believe, until you remember that this Administration is being run by folks who wish to end our national sovereignty. “Homeland Security Department Gags Local Law Enforcement to Protect ‘Privacy’ of Illegal Aliens” really goes a long way in showing the point of view of Homeland Security Ditz Napolitano and King Barack I. I hate to inform them that non-drybacks have no privacy rights here. In fact, they have NO rights here. Nappy and the other Democrats really do need to take a long hard look at the correlation between enforcement of immigration laws and national security. Wait. Maybe they have, and THAT is why they refuse to enforce immigration laws.

I heard this part of the Glenn Beck Show while driving around to medical appointments on Monday. It appears that ol’ Reverend Wrong has been making some public appearances, and is blowing the lid off of his past as the preacher to Barack Obama for 20 years and his marxist philosophy that was what Trinity United Church of Christ was all about during that time. The transcript (and audio) is from an address to a conference hosted by the Monthly Review Magazine, which is openly marxist-socialist. This is WELL WORTH your time to read. I’ll give you a couple of tastes…“what will be tolerated from a person of color in this land, the land of the greed and the home of the brave excuse me, the land of the greed and home of the slave.” “This magazine unflinchingly has tackled the tough issues from McCarthyism to militarism, from the Chinese revolution through the Canadian revolution to the Cuban revolution, from the lies told by United States presidents to the lies told by the United States media. We celebrate tonight six decades of dedicated service.” Yep, Obama’s spiritual leader celebrates 60 years of dedicated service to marxist-socialism, but Obama never heard a word he said. There’s more. “My work with liberation theology, with Latin American theologians, with the Black Theology Project and what the Cuban Council of Churches taught me 30 years ago the importance of Marx and the Marxist analysis of the sociologies of the vulnerable and the oppressed who were trying desperately to break free of the political economies undergirded by this country that were choking them and cutting off any hope of a possible future where all of the people would benefit.” I think you get the general feel. There’s a bunch of absolute beautiful quotes in there for us to use over the next 3 years.

Townhall blogger “arik” gives us this gem of a column, written by a Sergeant of Marines. He takes The Messiah to task for not understanding what Mission Accomplishment is all about, and why it is Job One.

Any time a person who is an abortion-pusher has a change of heart and becomes anti-abortion, it is a good thing. Here’s a video story from Breitbart about a Planned Parenthood leader who now opposes abortion. The Crawfish is happy to announce that this ex-director of a state Planned Parenthood organization is from Texas. Here’s the story as reported by Fox News.

The Weekend Claw 10-30-09

TheCrawfish — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:16:12 +0000

If you weren’t outraged at some point this week, you weren’t payin’ ‘tention. That being said, Happy Halloween! Now get out there and scare some kids, ’cause the stuff eminating from DC is puh-lenty to scare us adults.

Sometimes, The Crawfish really does hate Philadelphia media. Take for example WPHT, The Big Talker 1210AM, the home of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity. They bill themselves as a talk radio station, but whenever the Phillies have a baseball game, they pre-empt the biggest shows in radio for baseball, which has what…1000, 2000 listeners? The day that Sarah Palin was selected for the VP nomination, I wanted to hear the commentary, but got boring baseball instead. Wednesday and Thursday, they pre-empted the last two hours of the Sean Hannity Show for their baseball pre-game shows…the pre-game shows that LASTED FOUR FRICKIN HOURS! Why does a baseball pre-game show last longer than a whole game? Baseball pre-game shows, even for the World Series, should last no more than 30 minutes. It’s not like there’s any real strategy to discuss. The pitcher is going to throw the ball. The hitters are going to try to hit the ball. The fielders are going to try to catch and throw the ball.

How much of a Messiah complex does the left have about Barack Obama? Well, despite the fact that Obama’s books were ghost-written by unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, the leader of the National Endowment for the Arts has declared that Obama is “the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.” Isn’t that kinda like saying the gaseous emanations following this year’s Terlingua International Championship Chili Cookoff (which one of The Crawfish’s cousins will be competing in this year, first Saturday in November) are the most powerful winds since Hurricane Andrew.

How much do the Democrats hate every aspect of patriotism and traditional American values? Consider that they have selected this video as one of the finalists in a contest to make the next Obamacare commercial. The video has an image of the American flag that gets desecrated throughout the commercial by pro-Obamacare painted slogans. Desecrating the flag is something Democrats now officially celebrate.

On a related note, HBO “comedian” Larry David’s latest episode of his series features him urinating on a portrait of Jesus Christ. To the liberal mind, it is perfectly okay to attack Christianity, the flag, the Constitution, and traditional American values, but if you attack heterophobes, Islam, blacks, non-drybacks, and such you are a despicable human being.

Over the past few years, as state taxes have been sharply raised by the Democrats, over 1.5 MILLION people have fled the state of Noo Yawk. That means that the goal of the tax hikes, an increase in state revenues, is falling very short, which means the liberals will want to raise taxes even more to cover the loss. It’s a vicious circle leading to economic collapse. Let’s hope that those folks escaping the Empire State are smart enough to change their voting habits away from the Democrats when they move to red states.

Do y’all remember when the Bill and Hill Show was selling out the Lincoln Bedroom for donations to their campaigns or others that they had designated? They were amateurs. Check out how the Obamas are rewarding donors! You, too, can get a private briefing, from Administration officials even. They have no shame.

Townhall commenter “clyde” sent me a story about another terroristic muslim group in the US. The story actually is good news, since many of the members of the Islamic terrorist group were nabbed by the FBI and their imam was killed, thus saving the taxpayers the expense of a trial. Does anybody want to place odds on whether or not CAIR is going to assist the legal defense team of the ones who were caught?

The Crawfish is seeing a recurring pattern. The Obama Administration or the Democrats in Congress make an outlandish claim. Someone in the media does a sanity check on the claims, smells something fishy, investigates, finds that the claims are false, and publishes their findings. Administration officials have a tizzy fit and attack the person who had the audacity to fact-check their lies.

How will they react to THIS poll, which shows that American women prefer private insurance to a government plan by a 64-27 margin?

As I have stated many times, I will give President Obama credit when credit is due. Wednesday night into Thursday morning, President Obama made an unannounced dash to Dover Air Force Base to witness and salute the return of the remains of 18 American military personnel killed in Afghanistan this week. For that action alone, the Marines who salute him entering and leaving Marine One should have a little more snap to their salutes for a while.

When it comes to dealing with Afghanistan and Pakistan, maybe President Obama should take a listen to what Pervez Musharraf, the former President of Pakistan, has to say about allowing the Taliban to have any say in Afghanistan’s government.

When the Daily Kook is reporting that Dan Hoffman is within one point of the lead in the special election in Noo Yawk, you know that the Conservative Party candidate is a SERIOUS threat to win. The left-wing extremist “Republican” Dede Scozzafava is lagging far back in third place, despite the endorsements of Newt Gingrich, Michael Steele, and the liberal “establishment” in the GOP. If Steele had any brains, he’d tell Scozzafava to drop out over the weekend and throw her support to Hoffman.

North Star National’s Dan Calabrese was watching Queen Nancy’s performance this week, when she trotted out the new and improved 1990 page House version of Obamacare and acted like it was the ULTIMATE bill that would solve all of the world’s problems and would easily pass through Congress and get signed into law. Dan notes that some of the major provisions of the bill don’t take effect until 2013, by which time we will probably have a new President who will stop them dead in their tracks. He also notes that there are “temporary” government programs involved. When was the last time any “temporary” government program actually ended?

Dan also gives us a lesson in economic reality and how the media covers it, or covers it up.

The Crawfish’s Congresscritter, Representative Kay Granger, sent me a link to the monstrosity that Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy is putting forth. If you check page 94, you’ll find this little gem, “GENERAL.—Individual health insurance coverage that is not grandfathered health insurance coverage under subsection (a) may only be offered on or after the first day of Y1 as an Exchange-participating health benefits plan.” In other words, only the government plan will be available for new coverage in Year One of the bill, which is 2013. New private insurance coverage will be ILLEGAL!

When Edmunds.com analyzed auto sales from the past few months, they figured out that for every new car purchased under the “Cash for Clunkers” program, the taxpayers shelled out $24,000.00. Now you know that didn’t sit well with the White House, so they immediately attacked Edmunds.com. They really do get miffed when there’s truth in journalism, don’t they.

Ohgoodlord. At least every other time she’s seen in public, micHELLe is dressed in something completely atrocious, but that doesn’t stop the idjuts at Glamour Magazine from making FLOTUS their Woman of the Year. I guess the Ghettohowhohitalottery look is the next big fashion style.

The Weekly Claw 10-27-09

TheCrawfish — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:58:57 +0000

The Crawfish is starting the job search odyssey and it is REALLY depressing. Sheesh, if any of y’all know of some decent jobs in the Dallas/Ft Worth area, LET ME KNOW!!!

On Friday, we brought you the story of President Obama pledging 10% of our swine flu vaccines to the World Health Organization even before Americans get them. Well, Friday afternoon His Majesty turned around and declared that swine flu was a NATIONAL EMERGENCY! Why would he give the vaccine away if it was a national emergency? He did it to create yet another crisis in the United States that he and Rahm “Twinkle Toes Chicago Way” Emanuel can use to give the federal government “emergency” powers that they will never relinquish.

Meanwhile, is it really a good example of what lies ahead under Obamacare when there are already shortages of the H1N1 vaccine and the production is behind schedule?

This headline just in…Michael Jackson is STILL DEAD! In spite of that, Wacko Jacko Mania is on the rise, with the final Jacko CD hitting the stores and Jacko merchandise selling like crazy. Oh, well….

The Democrats keep harping on how eeeevilllll investment banking executives are for making such huuuuuuge amounts of money, but what about their attack-mutt? “Twinkle Toes Chicago Way” Emanuel made over $16,000,000.00 doing that job, and his buddy Franklin Raines scored even more when he was running Freddie or Fannie, something like $90,000,000.00 in six years while cooking the books over there and setting up the credit collapse.

Dingy Harry Reid signaled the end of Obamacare in the Senate on Monday when he declared that the bill WILL contain the socialist option. Watch for Senate Republicans, if they have any spine at all, to rally against anything with the unConstitutional socialist option. Three of the key votes that Reid needed, Senators Snowe, Collins, and Lieberman, have already said that they will support a filibuster of any plan that includes the socialist option. Meanwhile, Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy is trying to pull the wool over America’s eyes by changing the terminology of the socialist option to the “consumer option” as if changing the name changes reality.

John Podesta has come up with another way to pay for Obamacare, and it combines two of the top items on every good liberal’s list of favorite things; raising taxes and smoking pot.

Bawney “Madam” Fwank (D-gay bars of Taxachusetts) finally came out and admitted what we’ve been saying for years. He stated that the Democrats are “trying on every front to increase the role of government.” Remember that to those people, the Constitution is a document to be ignored at all costs. He’s proving his point by introducing legislation that will make it easier for the gummint to take over businesses, remove the executives, and screwover the shareholders.

Here’s a video story that shows just what the members of our armed forces will do to try to save the life of one of our own. Many of the usual safety rules were broken, and severe risks were taken, but the soldier was saved.

John “Gold Digger” Kerry-Heinz believes that his 3 months of service in Vietnam and those woundless Purple Hearts makes him much more of an authority on military matters than General McChrystal. In fact, he’s almost as brilliant in that subject as Gaffes Biden!

The Crawfish knows of two Northwest Airlines pilots who will soon be looking for a new job. Not only did they go 150 miles past their destination without noticing, but they did so because they were busy with their personal laptops, which is a no-no according to company rules. Shouldn’t at least one of them be looking outside the cockpit to make sure that there isn’t anything out there that they could collide with?

Who really has the power in our government these days? North Star National’s Dan Calabrese has the answer for youz guys.

The left criticized George W. Bush for spending so much time out of the office, especially on the golf course. In his first 33 months in office, W hit the links 24 times. It took Barack Obama a whopping 9 months to hit that number. So where’s the criticism from the left?

It’s not just the federal government that completely ignores its Constitution. Ahnahld the Imitation Republican signed a new law in California that mandates state contracts getting assigned to bidders who meet certain racial and gender quotas, even though the state constitution forbids all discrimination and/or preferential treatment in state contracts.

Ahnahld isn’t the only one giving away taxpayer money on the basis of ethnicity and such. Our esteemed ruler is giving away millions of dollars to his fellow anti-American muslims, so that they may improve their technology. Don’t they already have more oil money than they know what to do with?

It looks like the tensions between Pakistan and Iran are heating up a bit. Pakistani security forces shot out the tires of a smuggling vehicle and found 11 Iranian military personnel inside.

The terrorist supporting unindicted co-conspirators from the Holy Land Foundation case, CAIR, need to ramp up their legal defense program again, since two more Followers of the Pedophilic False Prophet are up on terrorism charges. Imagine that.

The Glo-Bull Warming frauds are now trying to push the people of the world into a vegetarian diet, and they’re going to use the Copenhagen accord talks to prohibitively raise the price of meat. You touch my steak, I break your face.

Newt Gingrich hinted over the weekend that he might make a run for the Presidency in 2012. Too bad for him that the Democratic Party’s nomination is already wrapped up by Obama, since Gingrich’s endorsement of a union and ACORN loving leftist who pretends to be a Republican in the Noo Yawk 23rd District special election and his gallivanting around with Red Nanny P-Lousy, Al Sharpton, and other left wing extremists means that he will NOT get any primary votes from the Republican base.

Ain’t it amazing how every member of the Kennedy family believes that laws don’t apply to them? The Crawfish also notes that none of them can drive in a safe and legal manner, either.

What happens when the federal government tries to run what should be a private business? Well, you could examine the inefficiencies at the Post Office and their inability to keep costs down, or you could take a look at Vice President Biden’s favorite gummint-subsidized company. Obamacare, anyone?

Can we talk about sex?

Claire — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:22:59 +0000

OK, now that I have your attention, I wanted to point you to the spouse and family blog where I actually do have a post us about sexual integrity and guarding yourself against extra-marital emotional entanglements. Military spouses are at risk for reaching out for support. There is nothing wrong at all with reaching out for added support — especially during deployment, but do you know your own weaknesses enough to know when reaching out like that can entrap you in an emotional affair? What boundaries can you put up to keep yourself and your marriage safeguarded from adultery?

Come and read the article and listen to an interview I got to do with Shannon Ethridge (a million copy best selling author on this topic).

The Weekend Claw 10-23-09

TheCrawfish — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:57:20 +0000

It’s a week before Halloween. Have all of you eeeeeevilllll conservatives started poisoning the candy for the kiddies yet? Remember that if any kid in the country DOES get a poisoned piece of candy (or gets hurt in any way), it is going to be because of capitalists, conservatives, and Fox News.

Golden Corral has been doing it for 9 years, but now Applebee’s is joining them in celebrating Veteran’s Day by giving a free meal to all of our military personnel and veterans. Note that Golden Corral’s celebration is actually on Monday the 16th. Those are two companies that deserve your support.

Over this weekend, take pause and remember the events of 65 years ago, October 23-26, 1944. The Battle of Leyte Gulf was possibly the last large scale fleet battle that will ever be fought on the oceans of our planet.

The entertainment world lost another great one this week, as Soupy Sales passed on at age 83.

For once, The Crawfish is at odds with Citizens Against Government Waste, and is on the same side as (GULP!) John Murtha! CAGW, and a few other groups, are opposing funding for an alternate engine program for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, saying a second engine program is just a big waste of funds. I heartily disagree. We have a history of producing aircraft for our military that initially have one engine, but are found to need a different engine (or a heavily modified version of the original engine) to reach their optimum performance. I’ll just name a few: P-51 Mustang (the original Allison engine was nothing compared to the Rolls-Royce Merlin!), F-14 Tomcat, F-16 Falcon, and B-29 Superfortress.

Next month, freedom loving people around the world will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since that is a celebration of a victory of freedom over Marxist-socialist communism, Barack Obama will not attend. He and all of his Marxist-socialist associates (P-Lousy, Ayers, Dorn, Frank Davis, Soros, Anita Dunn, Rev. Wrong, the czars, etc) will be in mourning that day.

Homeland Security Ditz Nappy and the Affirmative Action Attorney General must be really getting hacked off by Sheriff Joe’s continuing efforts to uphold our laws. Townhall blogger “Saltwater” sent me a story about Sheriff Joe having a press conference regarding his anti-illegal alien sweeps. The press conference was only open to the press, but at least six people from the Department of InJustice tried to get in. The liberals are mad because Sheriff Joe seems to be “profiling” in his sweeps and is arresting non-drybacks (aka future core Democrat voters). Well duh! Profiling is not a bad thing. It is simply PROPER LAW ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURE!

Do black Americans have any idea how much their subservience to the Democratic Party has cost them? How much more political power would they have if they had not supported pro-abortion liberals for all of these decades? When you consider that abortion kills more black Americans than the other top 7 causes of death COMBINED every year, you see what they’ve lost.

While Michael Steele, Newt Gingrich, and the GOP establishment are supporting an ACORN and union loving liberal in the special election for Noo Yawk’s 23rd Congressional District, the biggest news so far for that race came this week when Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman was heartily endorsed by Sarah Palin, to go along with the previous endorsements by Michelle(***sigh***) Malkin, Glenn Beck, Richard Armey, and other real conservatives. On the other hand, Hoffman’s “Republican” opponent has been endorsed by: Planned Parenthood, New York Choice Pact, the National Education Association, and unions representing longshoremen, electrical workers, and transportation workers. Somehow, The Crawfish believes that Sarahcuda is going to be a major player in the 2010 election cycle, not by running for office herself, but by making a difference in races around the country where she will support truly conservative candidates. I need to hurry up and win a big Powerball so I can get an endorsement and on-stage hug from Sarah as I run for Congress!

Speaking of Sarah Palin, could it be that one of the people who mocked her last year is now becoming one of her fans and maybe a supporter in 2012?

The Affirmative Action Attorney General and his Department of InJustice are stuck in the middle of another hoax of a race crime. Malik Shabazz, the New Black Panther Party thug who Holder’s people let off the hook in the Philadelphia voter intimidation case, is one of the enablers of one Megan Williams of West Virginny, who accused seven white men of sexual abuse. All seven plead guilty to charges (which Shabazz opposed as the charges they plead to weren’t severe enough), but now Williams has recanted, saying the abuse never happened. Shabazz was also one of the enablers in the hoax race crime involving the Duke Lacrosse team. Is it just me, or does this also resemble the not-so-reverend-Al’s involvement with the hoax race crime of Tawana Brawley?

Holder’s Department of InJustice will probably work to pardon Tarek Mehanna, saying he’s just a poor misunderstood member of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage and besides, the whiteys would have deserved it. Meanwhile, CAIR is no doubt setting up Mehanna’s legal defense team as I type.

Another adherent to the Religion of the Pedophilic False Prophet might need CAIR’s legal assistance. Faleh Hassan Almaleki was upset that his daughter, who is an adult living in the United States, was assimilating into American culture like any immigrant should (and refusing to go through with an arrainged marriage), so he ran over her and her roommate with his car. Sooner or later, the American people are going to have to wake up and realize that Islam is not compatible with the rest of the world and that there will be no peace until either every muslim or every non-muslim in the world is dead. Of course, even if all non-muslims were dead, the Shi’ia and Sunni muslims would still try to exterminate each other. Yep, that’s the Religion of Peace.

The #2 Dim-ocrat in the House, Steny Hoyer, doesn’t understand the difference between the PREAMBLE of the Constitution and the ENUMERATED POWERS of the Constitution. He claims that the “general welfare clause”, which is part of the Preamble, grants Congress the authority to order all Americans to buy government-approved health insurance. Sorry, Steny (what kind of name is Steny???), but the Preamble is a general statement describing the goals of the Constitution and has no power on its own. He also said that Congress has the power to mandate a lot of things, and this is just like them mandating that Americans pay taxes, unless they are Charlie Rangel, Tim Geithner… Meanwhile, Senator “Leaky” Leahy (Jassack-VT) believes Congress has that authority, even though he doesn’t know where it comes from, but has the audacity to say that “there’s no question there’s authority, nobody questions that!” Sorry, Senator, but everybody who understands the Constitution is questioning that.

CNSNews asked Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy where Congress gets its Constitutional authorization to force Americans to buy health insurance. All she could stammer was, “Are you serious?” Her spokesman later said that asking about the Constitutionality of that mandate cannot be considered a serious question. In other words, they’re going to do whatever they want to do, no matter what the Constitution says. It is THAT kind of arrogance that makes the majority of taxpayers outside of DC and Than Franthithco absolutely detest her.

At least House Minority Leader John Boehner understands that governmentally mandating the purchase of anything is un-American.

More fiscal shenanigans have been uncovered in the Obamacare bills. The Baucus Bill, which the last edition of The Claw exposed as dropping costs at the expense of the states having to more than double their Medicare expenditures, has another way to reduce the “on-budget” costs. They’re going to raise the Social Insecurity taxes and skim off of that revenue! This still does not violate The Messiah’s pledge to not raise taxes on those making less than $250,000.00 per year, because this isn’t really an income tax, even though it is a tax on wage income.

About 7 months ago, His Majesty King Barack I said, “If there is a way of getting this done where we’re driving down costs and people are getting health insurance at an affordable rate, and have choice of doctor, have flexibility in terms of their plans, and we could do that entirely through the market, I’d be happy to do it that way.” Well, the Cato Institute has the blueprint for exactly what he was asking for, but since it isn’t remotely close to a path to socialized, gummint-run health care, he won’t even bother giving it to his people to check out. Will the lamestream media cover this? (insert sound of crickets here)

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Actuary has issued a report stating that the Obamacare bills in the House would drive the costs of health care UP, not down! So if it is going to drive the costs up, and will only cover a few of the folks who are not currently covered, what’s the point, other than government control and making the populace dependent upon the government, thereby insuring Democratic Party power for eternity?

Will somebody puh-leeze try to make some sense of this? Our leftist politicians refuse to allow for expanding domestic oil production in the Baaken fields of the northern plains, the Black Warrior Basin, ANWR, and offshore in our own territorial waters, but China is about to start drilling in our territorial waters. Which side are the Democrats on? I guess we just answered that, again.

The envirowackos who lead the charge against all drilling in America are also fighting clean “green” energy. They are taking their fight against wind turbine power generation to the federal courts, because some endangered bats might die. It’s called evolution, ya idjuts. Get over it. What do you really want from us? To go back to stone age style living?

President Obama is about to sign legislation that makes the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law a thing of the past. Yes, he’s going to sign into law the new “hate crimes” legislation, which makes crimes against non-whites, non-Christians, and heterophobes MORE of a crime than those committed against straight white Christian males. It is also a step toward squelching all speech supporting the anti-homosexual stance that is a part of the holy books of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

Here’s a story that is sure to be ignored by The Prophet Algoracle, the Gorons, and British Prime Minister Brown. Meteorologists have recorded the lowest October temperature ever in Germany. Darn that Glo-Bull Warming!

Why is it that every single Obama appointee either has tax problems or is a complete radical? His latest appointee to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (which in itself needs to go away) is a heterophobe activist who instructed other like-minded activists to declare that “gay sex is morally good.” This Administration not only wants to destroy our Constitutional form of government, but it also wants to tear apart the very fabric of American family and religious/moral life.

I really don’t understand why Afghanistan is still the producer of 90% of the world’s opium. Once our forces got in there, all of the opium farmers should have been told to start growing different crops or see their lands get Agent Oranged. We could have even provided them with seeds for whatever crops they could grow on those lands. That crop not only fuels the world’s heroin problems, but it is also the number one source of revenue for the Taliban and Al-Qaeda groups in that region.

How much does Barack Obama wish to be worshipped around the world? How about enough to GIVE AWAY 10% of our swine flu vaccines before the demand in the US is even met. Why take care of Americans when there’s another Nobel Peace Prize to win?
