Obama Heads to Mass.

Posted on 17 January 2010 by Mr. Harrington

But he clearly is not scared, for if he were scared, he would be headed to Church.

Instead, he is off to Massachusetts to help the embattled Democrat Martha Coakley win “The People’s Seat.”

But so far, the People’s Seat seems that it will go to Republican Scott Brown; and, if it does, it will eliminate the Super-Majority Stranglehold the Democrats have on the country.

Brown, a populist, has been able to energize a nation around his election.  Millions of dollars have poured in from all over the country because this is more than just a Massachusetts Senate seat.  This is a sign of how things are, as well as a sign of what is to come.

Coakley has barely been able to energize the rank and file Democrats.

Now in comes Bami.

What President Panty-Waist will try and do is energize that group–that group of elitist, pro-establishment, truly anti-democratic liberals–of rank and file Democrats so that maybe, just maybe, Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat can stay in the same ideological hands.

Clearly Bami is scared for his agenda.  I amend my piece of advice to Mr. Obama based on the poems of the Great American Poet, Ice Cube:

If you scared, go to Mass.

National Security Advisor: Report to “Shock”

Posted on 07 January 2010 by Mr. Harrington

Nothing shocks me anymore.

National Security Advisor James Jones said that the report regarding ChristmasDayPantyBomber will “shock.”

Now, call me naive, but if they say that the report laying out the missed clues will shock a man of average intelligence such as myself, who the hell are the people being paid to find these sort of clues?

Later today, the White House will release the report…

Now, again, you can call me naive, but, when the government says they discovered Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s terrorist ties WHILE HE WAS ON THE PLANE, do they mean that “the system worked?”

Obama Harming Hawaiian Economy More Than Helping?

Posted on 26 December 2009 by Mr. Enos

From the Harrington Report, Pacific Command Center (HRPC):

Aloha, folks!

As I was sitting on the beach waiting for a sea turtle to bring me a Pina Colada in a coconut–made by a trained monkey no less–I caught wind of a story that most people hadn’t even heard about. President Obama is crippling the tourism industry when he vacations in Hawaii.

Hawaii’s economy is driven by tourism and there are countless ways to have fun and enjoy the tropical beauty of the islands, and one of the best ways people can enjoy the scenery is from the air through an airplane or helicopter tour… except if President Obama is in town. Wherever the president goes, a ten mile no-fly zone follows him. That’s a sizable chunk of O’ahu–the island where Obama is staying.

From the Honolulu Star Bulletin:

“This is the peak of the tourist season,” said Rob Moore, president of the General Aviation Council of Hawaii. “Here is a president trying to promote more jobs, and by … visiting us, is all of a sudden impeding business.”

So while the president may feel entitled to a rest from jet-setting all over the globe to visit Copenhagen to do nothing, or to pick up his Nobel Prize for doing nothing, or to fail to convince the Olympic Committee to bring the Olympics to Chicago, does that give him license to shut down a vital part of the island-state’s economy? Especially when there are other islands that are just a beautiful (although, all of them are more beautiful than O’ahu) that would cause fewer disruptions to the community, especially when it is struggling to bring in every dollar it can during these troubled times.

After the cut is a map from the Star Bulletin that shows the extent to which Obama’s vacation will disrupt air tourism on the island.

NSFW: Kevin Jennings’ Book of the Month Club

Posted on 18 December 2009 by Mr. Enos

Editor’s Note: NSFW: “Not Safe for Work” indicates a post contains graphic or offensive subject matter that would not be appropriate in certain settings (i.e. anywhere other than locked in your basement with the doors and windows shuttered). Now you know.

093009_jennings

As I sit in the airport waiting to catch my flight home, half of my sophomore year of college done and behind me, I finally have the opportunity to look into the biggest story no one is covering: Kevin Jennings’ reading habits.

Much has been written in the blogosphere over the past few days about ‘Safe School’s Czar’ Kevin Jennings–an individual whom I covered extensively a few months back. While the previous scandal has been since laid to rest, the newest round of craziness from GLSEN founder is just as insane-–if not more so.

Recently GatewayPundit ran a story about Kevin Jennings’ organization GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) and the books that the organization recommends that young children read. The list is broken up into three different categories–books for kids grade K-6, 7-12, and teachers. The list of books contains literature that covers many and varied genres, from non-fiction to poetry. Supposedly the books are meant to support the stated mission of GLSEN, reproduced below.

From GLSEN’s website:

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

We believe that such an atmosphere engenders a positive sense of self, which is the basis of educational achievement and personal growth. Since homophobia and heterosexism undermine a healthy school climate, we work to educate teachers, students and the public at large about the damaging effects these forces have on youth and adults alike. We recognize that forces such as racism and sexism have similarly adverse impacts on communities and we support schools in seeking to redress all such inequities.

GLSEN seeks to develop school climates where difference is valued for the positive contribution it makes in creating a more vibrant and diverse community. We welcome as members any and all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression or occupation, who are committed to seeing this philosophy realized in K-12 schools.

That’s all well and good, except some of the books GLSEN recommends are pornographic. The book list is intended to [sic] “furthers our (GLSEN’s) mission to ensure safe schools for all students.”; ostensibly implying that children who identify themselves as homosexual should read these books as a way to empower themselves, and straight children and teachers should also read the books to come to a deeper understanding and develop a respect for their homosexual peers. On its face that is a responsible, well-intentioned goal. However, if one examines even a small sampling of the books on the list, the real goal of the suggested readings become readily apparent. GLESN is not trying to empower anyone, or raise awareness, rather they are using the facade of awareness and concern to promote their twisted hypersexualized agenda, what I can only assume is a twisted aberration of the goals that reasonable that gay men and women aspire to. As an aside, I do not think, nor am I implying that the poison that GLESN is peddling is representative of the entire gay community, rather this is a reflection on Kevin Jennings and the fanatics that staff his loony organization.

The books and the list can be accessed though a portal on their site called “BookLink“, which provides an all-in-one system for parusing and even purchasing in bulk books that teachers are encouraged to make mandatory classroom reading.

Just a few of the books on the list:

Queer 13

Being Different

Growing Up Gay/Growing Up Lesbian

The Order of the Poison Oak

Love & Sex: Ten Stories of Truth

Thus far I have been slightly obtuse in my explanation of exactly what the books contain, after the jump there will be an excerpt from one of the selected books, Queer 13. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Chicago Thugs: Bami Threatens Rep. DeFazio

Posted on 18 December 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Obama: “Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.”

This is Chicago Thuggery at its best, ladies and gentlemen.  Obama’s Chicago policy is hurting America.

It seems that O-man is unable to get his ideas passed by convincing people…so he has to do a little convincing, himself.

Dean Refuses to Get ‘Vigorous’ With Obama

Posted on 18 December 2009 by Mr. Enos

howard-dean-poster-byahhh

Former DNC Chairman, and former presidential contender Howard “YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!!” Dean stated on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that he would not–get this–”vigorously support” President Obama in his re-election bid. Bami still has 3 more years to go… if Howard Dean of all people is already soured on the guy then what does that mean for the rest of his party?

More importantly, what does it mean when Howard Dean of all people is acting like one of the more sane members of the Democratic party? Is the thermostat in hell broken?

Text and video of the exchange on the other side of the break.

Obama to GOP: “Stop trying to frighten the American people.”

Posted on 16 December 2009 by Mr. Harrington

This is idiotic.  Frankly, it’s the Liberals who are attempting to frighten the American people.

Bami actually said to the GOP, “Stop trying to frighten the American People.”

Are you serious?

Read

Now, that was December 9th.  It’s now the 16th and what does Bami do?

Fearmonger.

“If we don’t pass it, here’s the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you.  Potentially they’re going to drop your coverage, because they just can’t afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year.”

If the Healthcare bill doesn’t pass…“the federal government will go bankrupt.”

“Because if we don’t do this, nobody argues with the fact that health care costs are going to consume the entire federal budget.”

Read

Woah…who’s fearmongering now?

And…as a quick aside…

He said this the same day he signed a $1.1 Trillion spending bill…

Read

And the same day that the House approved a $155 Billion jobs bill…

Read

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE FIRST BILL FOR?  All the shovel ready jobs?!

I thought we already did this…

But to bring it all back…

When Bami says that the federal government will go bankrupt without the Health care bill, does he mean that they’ll stop spending?

UPDATE:  I forgot to mention…

The debt exceeds the debt limit…Good job, folks!

Gore Tries to Change the Record

Posted on 09 December 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Big Al tried to falsify the record of the Climategate emails…

Not once…but three times…

Q: How damaging to your argument was the disclosure of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University?

A: To paraphrase Shakespeare, it’s sound and fury signifying nothing. I haven’t read all the e-mails, but the most recent one is more than 10 years old. These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus. But the noise machine built by the climate deniers often seizes on what they can blow out of proportion, so they’ve thought this is a bigger deal than it is.

But wait there’s more…

Q: There is a sense in these e-mails, though, that data was hidden and hoarded, which is the opposite of the case you make [in your book] about having an open and fair debate.

A: I think it’s been taken wildly out of context. The discussion you’re referring to was about two papers that two of these scientists felt shouldn’t be accepted as part of the IPCC report. Both of them, in fact, were included, referenced, and discussed. So an e-mail exchange more than 10 years ago including somebody’s opinion that a particular study isn’t any good is one thing, but the fact that the study ended up being included and discussed anyway is a more powerful comment on what the result of the scientific process really is.

These people are examining what they can or should do to deal with the P.R. dimensions of this, but where the scientific consensus is concerned, it’s completely unchanged. What we’re seeing is a set of changes worldwide that just make this discussion over 10-year-old e-mails kind of silly.

Hey, Al!  The latest of the emails was from November 09…

This just goes to show what lengths the Socialist Greenpeople will go to try and take power.

Reido History…

Posted on 08 December 2009 by Mr. Harrington

byrd_081118

Nevada Senator Harry Reid tried to redo his comments about health care and race relations–saying that his point was distorted..

“At pivotal points in American history, the tactics of distortion and delay have certainly been present,” Reid said. “They’ve certainly been used to stop progress. That’s what we’re talking about here. That’s what’s happening here. It’s very clear. That’s the point I made — no more, no less. Anyone who willingly distorts my comments is only proving my point.”

Now, for those of you, by either my fault or yours, who didn’t hear what he said to cause all this “feigned outrage…”

“You think you’ve heard these same excuses before? You’re right.  In this country there were those who dug in their heels and said, ‘Slow down, it’s too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough’ — about slavery. When women wanted to vote, [they said] ‘Slow down, there will be a better day to do that — the day isn’t quite right. . . .’”

“When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.”

Umm…I’m not even going to touch the first part…race-baiting isn’t my thing…

Now, the second part…

He is also trying to Reido history…

He must be speaking of his ideological colleague, Robert Byrd.

Let’s not forget that Mr. Byrd was an Exalted Kraken Kleaglet…or something…in the KKK…

And let’s not forget that Mr. Byrd filibustered the Civil Rights Bill in 1964–20 years after joining the Klan.

He filibustered the bill for 14 hours…

And he also opposed the Voting Rights Act.

Tell me, Mr. Reid, who resorted to those same filibuster threats?

Those evil Republicans?
