Another Obama Appointee Idiot

Can't you appoint some people WITH brains. Read this idiot.

Rocco Landesman is President Obama's handpicked chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Last week he gave the keynote address to the 2009 Grantmakers in the Arts Conference. Those of us concerned about the politicization of life and art in the Age of Obama will not be consoled by a reading of Landesman's speech. The speech bears examination in its entirety, but Landesman's tribute to Obama is especially worth a look:
This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.

Well, so what if Landesman is a bootlicker? Landesman is also an idiot. Lincoln never wrote a book, although I believe he did compile the texts of his 1858 debates with Douglas for publication in book form. And Landesman misses a few presidential authors since Theodore Roosevelt.
Woodrow Wilson wrote several influential books as a Princeton professor. Herbert Hoover wrote books including, I am reliably advised, a classic book on fishing. Richard Nixon wrote books before and after his presidency. And even Bill Clinton wrote his apologia pro vita sua.
Landesman leaves JFK unmentioned by name. JFK was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Profiles in Courage in 1957. My guess is that JFK and Obama share the attribute of authorship in roughly equal measure.
One reader of Landesman's speech wonders: "Isn't Obama the first president since Jefferson to more than double the size of the country? The first since Lincoln to free the slavers? The first since FDR to win a war against fascism?" Betraying the spirit of Rocco Landesman, however, the reader injects a note of caution: "I might be wrong. Can any of you fact check that?"
It would be hard to pack so much ignorance into one short paragraph if one were really trying. We can deduce that Landesman doesn't even have to try.

Dope instead of Hope

It figures this dopehead would strive to legalize blowing a doobie. Nice job pothead.

Al Sharpton / Jesse Jackson - How Dare You

I love it when a racist calls another person a racist. Al, who is a great guy to listen to, based his whole career, if you can call it that, on racism. I don't know if Rush is one; his actions don't display it. I do know Al's actions display it. Read this.

The Race Card, Football and Me
My critics would have you believe no conservative meets NFL 'standards.'


It didn't take long before my name was selectively leaked to the media as part of the Checketts investment group. Shortly thereafter, the media elicited comments from the likes of Al Sharpton. In 1998 Mr. Sharpton was found guilty of defamation and ordered to pay $65,000 for falsely accusing a New York prosecutor of rape in the 1987 Tawana Brawley case. He also played a leading role in the 1991 Crown Heights riot (he called neighborhood Jews "diamond merchants") and 1995 Freddie's Fashion Mart riot.

Not to be outdone, Jesse Jackson, whose history includes anti-Semitic speech (in 1984 he referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in a Washington Post interview) chimed in. He found me unfit to be associated with the NFL. I was too divisive and worse. I was accused of once supporting slavery and having praised Martin Luther King Jr.'s murderer, James Earl Ray.

That Idiot Carter

Jimmy Carter and the Elvis Factor
September 17, 2009 1:00 am

Jimmy Carter strikes again!

The former President is not content having left office with high inflation, high interest rates and high unemployment. Nor is he content with having signed into law the Community Reinvestment Act – strengthened by President Bill Clinton – which played a major roll in the eventual housing market meltdown.

Nor is he content with having cut the legs from under the shah of Iran, which led to the establishment of the Islamic theocracy in Iran – a state that pursues a nuclear weapon, funds terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah, and continues to undermine the fledgling democracy of Iraq. Nor is he content – as ex-president – with writing a book in which he likened the state of Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians to South Africa under apartheid.

Obama Wins Nobel Pacifist Prize

Nonsense and embarrassing. He has done NOTHING so far. What a farce.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125509603349176083.html

The deadline for nominations for the prize was Feb. 1 -- two weeks after Mr. Obama was inaugurated.

"So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far," former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, said Friday. "He is still at an early stage."

Ministry of Truth, Obama-style
By John Griffing October 08, 2009

President Obama has been agitating for the authority to criminalize political opponents since he took office. First there was the raft of DHS reports profiling conservatives as terrorists. Then came the push for a new fairness doctrine, subsequently refined to be achieved in diversity regulations to be imposed on local radio stations. Following these attacks on free speech was the much debated hate crimes legislation, considered by many to be a back-door path to silencing critics of the administration. But, while dangerous to free speech, none of these draconian policies could do as much damage as new regulatory czar Cass Sunstein's shocking proposal to ban "falsehoods" -- a term left up to the Obama administration to define. If Sunstein succeeds, free speech will be truly dead in America.

These revelations are found in Sunstein's new book, On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done, in which he attacks the plague of "rumors" besetting the Obama administration. Rumors must be regulated, according to Sunstein. Suspiciously, Sunstein's definition of "rumors" never seems to favor conservatives. To combat "rumors," Sunstein proposes fines, and even obligatory retractions, in the case of Internet publications.[1]

Obama + Michelle x Oprah = Zero

Gore Vidal calls Obama Dreadful

Vidal Gore's time has come and gone. He is a nut case the blackens the democratic and liberal eye. It is the numbskull like this guy that turns people away from the democratic party and makes the average citizen believe liberalism is a mental disorder. It is time for Gore to leave this great country and move to his communist ideal, like Cuba. On your way, please take that dumb, fat bas***d, Michael Moore, with you.

Gore Vidal: ‘We’ll have a dictatorship soon in the US’
The grand old man of letters Gore Vidal claims America is ‘rotting away’ — and don’t expect Barack Obama to save it
From The Times September 30, 2009


How’s Obama doing? “Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman

Another notable Obama mis-step has been on healthcare reform. “He f***ed it up. I don’t know how because the country wanted it. We’ll never see it happen.” As for his wider vision: “Maybe he doesn’t have one, not to imply he is a fraud.

Comment: This really illustrates Vidal's nutiness

Vidal became a supportive correspondent of Timothy McVeigh, who blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 killing 168 people. The huge loss of life, indeed McVeigh’s act of mass murder, goes unmentioned by Vidal. “He was a true patriot, a Constitution man,” Vidal claims. “And I was torn, my grandfather [the Democrat Senator Thomas Gore] had bought Oklahoma into the Union.” McVeigh claimed he had done it as a protest against tyrannical government.

Comment: More Vidal nutiness

Republican Party is a party when in fact it’s a mindset, like Hitler Youth, based on hatred — religious hatred, racial hatred. When you foreigners hear the word ‘conservative’ you think of kindly old men hunting foxes. They’re not, they’re fascists.”

Bitter Twisted Old Fruit

I believe that was a line from the greatest movie of all time, This Is Spinal Tap. Directed by extreme leftist, Rob Reiner.

Michael Moore is the type of sap that gives liberalism and democrats a bad name. This nutcase is a hypocrite to the max. He has made tons of money from capitalism and complains about it. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't (hasn't) donate much of it to charity. With his bitter rancor, he should donate all of it and be the true communist he is.

How dare he complain that he could get his first movie backed. Did he think that the money and support should just be there because he wants to do it but can't afford it? That's communism. He doesn't believe in hard work and earning your way to the top? What a d***head this guy is.

He is wants gives all liberals and democrats a bad name. Listening to his dribble turns democrats into instant republicans.

Really? Capitalism did nothing for you? You hypocrite idiot!

CNSNews.com then asked Moore: “Critics would say he’s [Moore] been very successful under a capitalist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?” Moore said: “Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film.”
