  • Bush Derangement Syndrome

    According to CNN, 44-year-old Benjamin Smith was arrested in New York City as he plotted to “kill, kidnap and inflict bodily harm” on former President George W. Bush. I guess he thought that Mr. Bush was the only thing keeping him from a relationship with former first-daughter Barbara;

    Benjamin Smith, a resident of upstate New York, threatened to “kill, kidnap and inflict bodily harm” on Bush, the complaint said.

    Smith also professed a love interest in Barbara, one of the former president’s twin daughters, according to the complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

    “Bush will get his,” Smith allegedly screamed as he was being arrested, said the complaint.

    The U.S. Secret Service was alerted to the threat after Smith’s mother found a note in the home they share in which he allegedly wrote that he’s “going to work for George W. Bush and the Pentagon,” the complaint said.

    Smith also allegedly wrote: “I have to slay a dragon and then Barbara Bush is mine… America is finished. Obama, Etc.”

    Funny, but I don’t think he sounds any nuttier than any of the other trolls who are still clinging to their BDS. Oh, yeah, nutjob here also had a can of gasoline and a machete in his car. I guess he was planning for all contingencies.

  • President phones in Thanksgiving to troops

    Bush Thanksgiving

    Stars & Stripes writes that President Obama took time out of his holiday to call some members of the military;

    Hewing to past practice during his administration, Obama placed calls to several uniformed personnel. The White House said he talked to 10 service members – two each from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.

    The White House said the president wished them and their families “a happy Thanksgiving.”

    What? I didn’t say anything.

  • NRA Life of Duty; Veterans’ Day message

    The folks at NRA Life of Duty send a message to all Americans about a few Americans;

  • Bush’s fault

    MCPO NYC USN (Ret.) sends us a video from the Media Research Center wherein folks on the street are asked whose fault the shutdown was and of course, it’s Bush’s fault, five years after he left office. It was all filmed across the street from my office on North Capitol Street in DC. I used to get my half-smoke at the little cart in the background from Mary the Ethiopian woman who runs it. But, I’m not there anymore, and now you know why.

    Oh, by the way, I went back to work this morning after a call at 1 AM from a robo-caller thing. So I’m buried in the stuff that piled up during the furlough, because the flow never stops. I’m not one of the federal workers who are whining because their pay shut off for a few days, though. I did that weird thing called “planning ahead” since 2006. I hope the whiners can make it to next week when we get all of that back pay that we didn’t earn.

  • Report: Iraq more dangerous

    Who could have imagined that the general climatein Iraq would have gotten more dangerous after the President announced a withdrawal date…well, who besides everyone in the Bush Administration and the whole right side of the country (Washington Post);

    “Iraq remains an extraordinarily dangerous place to work,” U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart W. Bowen Jr. wrote in his quarterly report to Congress and the Obama administration. “It is less safe, in my judgment, than 12 months ago.”
    The findings come as Washington awaits a final decision by Iraqi leaders on whether they want U.S. troops to stay in the country beyond the expiration of a three-year security agreement in December.

    So in an effort to become the anti-Bush, Obama announced a withdrawal date to appease his ignorant base and by doing so has sentenced more Iraqis to death as well as American troops still stationed there. SOnow the discussion is not when we leave, but should we leave at all.

    Bowen’s report noted that 14 U.S. troops were killed by hostile fire in Iraq in June, the bloodiest month since April 2009. Most of the attacks are tied to Shiite militias, who U.S. military officials say are receiving weapons and training from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force.

    So far, five U.S. troops have died or been killed in July, according to military figures.

    More dithering and bad policy that the troops pay for in the end.

  • Obama is smarter warrior

    David Fredosso sends us this from the Washington Examiner;

    As if to lend credibility to the cartoonist, Ashwin Madia, Jon Soltz’ replacement motor pool queen at VoteVets plants this sloppy, wet kiss squarely on the presidential posterior;

    I’d like Madia to explain how he thinks that Obama has done anything differently than President Bush. He rambles on about not using torture, but the Bush Administration didn’t torture either – unless you count the mild discomfort caused by the water boarding of two terrorists. More hippies and journalists have volunteered to be water boarded than actual terrorists.

    Every American felt intense pain on 9/11. A desire for vengeance is understandable, and a picture of Osama bin Laden with a gaping bullet hole in his eye would undoubtedly bring some sense of satisfaction to many Americans. But, when we elect a president, we elect someone that we trust will not succumb to instincts like those. We elect someone who will be smart, who will be deliberate, and will do what is right for America’s security, and our troops’ well-being.

    When it comes to the war on terror, we certainly have that in President Barack Obama. It’s why Osama bin Laden is dead, and America is and continues to be made safer.

    Oh, yeah? What has Obama done differently than Bush, Ashwin?

    America continues to be safer because of the things Obama campaigned against but left in place from the Bush Administration when Obama was gob-smacked by reality.

  • Do you miss me yet?

    George W. Bush on Stephanopolis’ show with SGM Chris Self tells Stephanopolis “Just because you’re [ABC News] reporting it, that doesn’t make it true” when asked about the new assignments for General David Petraeus and Leon Panetta.

  • Head coke addict: Take back Obama’s Nobel Prize

    Evo Morales, Bolivia’s cocaine-fiend-in-chief, thinks President Obama should give back the Nobel Prize that he was awarded his first few days in office;

    ‘How is it possible to give the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who has launched an invasion, a bombing? It’s a violation, an assault, an aggression,’ said Morales, one of Latin America’s most left-leaning leaders and a vocal critic of the United States.

    ‘Obama is the leader of group of thugs who led an assault and an invasion – and that has nothing to do with defending human rights,’ he declared.

    So what happened to all that goodwill that was supposed to be coming our way when Obama became president? I thought working inside of the UN instead of without them was going to make us stronger. It seems that they dislike us no matter what we do – like we’ve been telling the American Left for the past ten years.
