Glenn Reynolds links to this piece of news tonight from the Department of State (emphasis added):
The OAS Foreign Ministers mission is in Honduras seeking support for the San Jose Accord, which would restore the democratic and constitutional order and resolve the political crisis in Honduras. In support of this mission and as a consequence of the de facto regime’s reluctance to sign the San Jose Accord, the U.S. Department of State is conducting a full review of our visa policy in Honduras. As part of that review, we are suspending non-emergency, non-immigrant visa services in the consular section of our embassy in Honduras, effective August 26. We firmly believe a negotiated solution is the appropriate way forward and the San Jose Accord is the best solution.

To permit this ridiculous fraud of a President and his useful idiots in Congress to expand our country’s debt way into the trillions is morally insane. Our civilization cannot survive with that kind of debt and the concomitant taxation.
We have been warned. Now we should act.

Did you hear this ridiculous liar of a President we’re stuck with say this [yester]day? (emphasis mine)
President Obama made what his advisers believe were his first public comments on the U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday, basically knocking its performance during his health-care-themed town hall in New Hampshire.
He said an audience member raised a “legitimate concern” about how a government-run health-care program might affect private insurers.
“My answer is that if the private insurance companies are providing a good bargain, and if the public option has to be self-sustaining — meaning taxpayers aren’t subsidizing it, but it has to run on charging premiums and providing good services and a good network of doctors, just like any other private insurer would do — then I think private insurers should be able to compete. They do it all the time.”
Then he invoked the Postal Service:
“I mean, if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? No, they are. It’s the post office that’s always having problems.”
That comment provoked laughter from the audience.
“That comment” makes absolute nonsense of his socialism. In fact, it very succinctly implies that Government entities are prone to acceptable levels of inefficiency and waste because it is typically assumed that they will be subsidized indefinitely, thereby making “competition” an open fiction.
It does not matter that Obama says the public option “has to be self-sustaining” because that’s a lie and he knows it’s a lie as he tells it.
The best thing that could possibly happen to this guy right now is some disaster or crisis to make him “look” Presidential. Otherwise, and day by day, the recklessness and arrogance of this Lying Narcissist on the subject of health care will erode his position with the moderates and other kinds of polite straddlers who are still too stubborn to admit that they got took when they voted for him.

Why has Obama found himself inviting Cambridge (Mass.) police sergeant James Crowley and Br’er Rabbit to share some beer with him in the White House? Because he is an egotistical bastard who made a huge blunder that he cannot bring himself to apologize for. So, instead, he raises the stakes beyond all proportion (much like interjecting himself, as the President of the United States, into a local police matter involving a personal friend for no apparent reason except to race-hustle) and is now stuck with the consequences of his ridiculous pride.
And all this is going on while his party’s plans for socialized medicine are completely tanking. Where the hell is he? Off to make another goddamned stump speech? What a tedious man!
Oh, and the “teachable moment” you’re hoping to have actually happened as soon as you opened your mouth about race, Barry —and when you insulted a good man’s professional integrity in a very public way. There’s a lot of lessons I learned in that “moment.” Even Juan Williams had to say that you can’t have a teachable moment “based on a lie,” so what is even the premise of this meeting? Sounds like Crowley’s really up against it. I just hope he gets out of it without getting messy.

I like Skip Gates as far as I know him from his work on PBS, but the stink over his recent arrest for disorderly conduct marks him for the prissy little celebrity bitch he is.
And for the Lying Narcissist to hold forth on a hugely unimportant incident concocted by some academic friend of his, of which he admitted to not knowing enough? Really? On a night you were supposed to be defending your dream of socialized medicine? Why would you do that, Barry? Didn’t you once claim that your initial and protracted silence on the stillborn Iranian Revolution of 2009 was because you wanted to know what you were talking about first? Why did you make an exception here? Are you some sort of ward heeler —straight representin’? Or are you the President of the United States? Try remembering your place.
It’s fine for these performance artists to pull their stunts or go into hysterics for the sake of an audience. You don’t expect from them more than that. But, because God is a vengeful god, Barack Hussein Obama is also the President —and an American would expect someone in that position to not abuse the bully pulpit for what was essentially a point of personal privilege last night.

The stock markets are doing well because it is becoming apparent that the President’s and the Democratic Party’s plans for socializing medicine are doing so poorly.
How’s this? The recovery of economic health in this society will depend on the continuing failure of its own government’s economic policies. Assholes —and, by that, I mean Democrats— need to reconsider the wisdom of sinking this economy further into the mire by raising and adding taxes that will obviously impact the middle class. OBVIOUSLY. Then again, a lot of these very people are the ones who put the Lying Narcissist in power to begin with. These are the ones who were practicing class warfare right along with him, so maybe they can find the time to be good citizens and quit uncritically pretending that Socialism is okay or is some sort of fad that we’ll just slough off if need be. WRONG.
The veto is a natural power available to all men. Free will be done in America as it is on Capitol Hill.

Jesus, could I be any happier? I’m almost nauseatingly at peace with the world.
For instance, I’m out driving around a while ago —completely oblivious to the carbon bigfootprint I was putting down— and I spot these two cats moving down the sidewalk in some sort of fraternally-cocksure gait. It’s a pair of very young black men —eleven or twelve, tops— wearing their white cotton wifebeaters and sporting some sort of overlong shorts or trunks. And they’re wearing them in a dignified manner —even pulled up to their waists! (Their kicks I don’t know from; I wasn’t paying attention.)
So, I’m idling there at the light with some early James Brown funk going on and watching these guys —and just beaming. And I’m thinking of all the afternoons of my own youth spent with my friends and of us wearing the appropriate uniforms of our day when we, too, would walk the streets like we owned them. And I’m thinking and hoping for these young men that they live long and prosper and realize the privilege that comes to men of my age to see the world anew in every moment lived with charity in one’s heart.

I just came in from a little grocery shopping and saw that Sarah Palin is resigning her governorship. That’s quite a surprise, but I don’t think it has any real significance, except to liberal partisans. If her job was of no importance in qualifying her for the GOP ticket in 2008, then what difference does it make to them or to anyone else if she leaves it now?
Maybe if American politicians looked at their jobs less as entitlements and more as positions with a purpose other than self-preservation, this Republic might not be as full of corruption as it very obviously is.
Oh, look —it’s another story about goddamned Michael Jackson. There you go. That’s a good boy.

It’s no surprise that the Obamatons would be unable, after more than seven years of falsely claiming that George W. Bush was a new Hitler who was trampling the Constitution and running a police state, to recognize an actual police state killing protesters in Iran. These Democratic partisans are as ignorant and cowardly as the narcissistic liar they elected to the White House. None of them is capable of standing up against authoritarianism because they wish to have that same system implemented here in the new socialist paradise they seek for America.
History will condemn Barack Hussein Obama for backing the mullahs in the Iranian Revolution of 2009.
