When Does the Insanity Stop?

When Does the Insanity Stop?

 

 

The recent announcement by Obama’s Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel that he plans to reduce the United States Army to pre-World War II levels and eliminate an entire class of Air Force attack jets thus crippling our Armed Forces and rendering America vulnerable in the event we are forced to confront our enemies make it seem the administration is hell bent on destroying us. 

In actuality, though, we’ve been well on our way to destroying ourselves for years.

In fact, our great nation is on a slippery slope toward mass insanity based on what we’re doing to ourselves and on how little we give a damn about what  people are doing to us. 

The following is merely a very small sampling of instances which demonstrate America’s insanity–and her suicidal tendencies:  

–”Fatal Crashes involving marijuana use tripled during the decade, according to researchers from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. The pot related accidents have helped fuel the overall increase in drugged-driving traffic deaths.”

Yet, with the unstated blessings of our admitted pothead president and inspired by greed, Democrat politicians in Colorado have legalized marijuana use and a number of other states are planning similar legislation with little or no thought given to how many accidents such laws will cause or what effect they will have on kids.  

–In California, Democrat Governor Jerry Brown released some 1,400 lifers, a record number of criminals convicted of murder, rape, and kidnapping and sentenced to life imprisonment, who will now be roaming California’s streets

Yet, Governor Moonbeam, a potential candidate for the Democrats’ 2016 presidential nomination, expressed little concern over how many more murders, rapes, and kidnappings the former convicts will commit thanks to his boundless, liberal generosity.

Arizona Governor Brewer Bows to Bullying

Arizona Governor Brewer Bows to Bullying

 

Arizonans had been through all this before and have again surrendered principle to their wallets: Late Wednesday, under cover of darkness, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed SB 1062.

Back in 1987, the Grand Canyon State rescinded its endorsement of Martin Luther King Day on the bases of its firm belief that the assassinated civil rights champion was too subversive to have a holiday dedicated in his memory and that it was patently wrong to name any day honoring just one man in the civil rights movement. . . .

Apparently believing religious beliefs now constitute an “improper standard,” Brewer obsequiously bowed to the lib-left demands by vetoing SB 1062 which would have amended a 1999 Arizona law called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and was intended to reinforce the rights of vendors to follow their religious consciences by, for example, refusing to provide services for gay weddings. . . .

Great News from TV-Land!

Great News from TV-Land!

 

Some great news has recently emanated from TV-Land!  No, not from the basic cable channel TV Land but rather from the left-wing CNN and the extreme left-wing MSNBC.

CNN and MSNBC and their rapidly-dwindling audiences are finally rid of two of their respective losers, 48 year old Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan and MSNBC’s worse loser, 55 year old Alexander Rae “Alec” Baldwin III. 

Coming on the heels of the departure of 51 year old Martin Bashir from MSNBC last year, it’s great news from TV-Land even if their replacements will probably be as bad, as liberal-leftist, and as nasty as Morgan, Baldwin, and Bashir.

Poor, rejected, dejected Alec is the most recent departee after he was fired in part because his “Up Late with Alec Baldwin” was an abysmal flop but mainly because the much-acclaimed actor had once again violated MSNBC’s cardinal rule of never speaking ill of homosexuals by calling a photographer a “c*ck sucking fag.”

Following his firing, which he attributed mainly to sniping by the station’s proudest resident lesbian, Rachel Maddow, who considered him “equivalent to Mel Gibson,” the petulant Baldwin has decided not only to forever remove himself from television but from New York City and from public life.

In an extended complaint on New York Magazine‘s Vulture blog, Baldwin vented that being labeled a “homophobic bigot” in the media after he was the caught being a homophobic bigot, he announced he was headed for Lala Land since Los Angeles “is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal.” 

No doubt stomping his foot as he wrote it, he added, “This is the last time I’m going to talk about my personal life in an American publication ever again.”

So there!

Should Alec Baldwin choose to become a hermit for the remainder of his days, he won’t be missed any more than Martin Bashir or Piers Morgan.  Both of those foreigners have repeatedly showed their contempt for America and Americans over the course of their brief tenures then seemed dismayed that we didn’t much like either them or their shows.

Bashir, the surly, British-born Pakistani and former BBC reporter, showed that biased contempt when he tossed GOP strategist Trey Hardin off his show simply because Hardin had said that our military leaders are critical of President Barack Hussein Obama, which they were and are.  He also actually suggested that the murder of a black Brit teenager in 1993 was somehow related to alleged offensive comments by Republican presidential candidates in 2012!

Absent their husbands, Martin the Basher delighted in ridiculing and slandering women, particularly Republican women . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35950.)

Global Warming Caused by Justin Bieber's Hairspray!

Global Warming Caused by Justin Bieber's Hairspray!

 

The absurdity of the above headline is almost exceeded by the absurdities regularly spewed by the global-warming-cooling-changing set who are increasingly desperate to defend their pseudo-scientific position that we evil human beings are destroying Earth’s ozone layer, the atmosphere, the planet itself, and possibly the hair spray industry.

There is a method to their madness, namely, enabling them to continue raking in tons of taxpayer money and imposing crippling pollution sanctions on America and on every other industrialized nation and excepting the Third World and China and India, and all based on what may be the biggest hoax in world history.

That same group of climatologists and politicians is understandably silent about similar dire predictions in the 1970′s.  Then they, along with the mainstream media, were warning us to button up our overcoats and get prepared for a devastating new Ice Age–that never materialized.

In an amazingly hypocritical flipflop, they are now using Mother Earth herself, buttressed by phony climate data, bizarre interpretations of natural events, and outright lies to convince gullible earthlings that our poor planet is on the verge of boiling over, that the rising Atlantic Ocean will soon inundate New York City, that Nebraska will resemble the Sahara in a few short years, that the Arctic will approach tropical conditions, that polar bears will shortly become extinct, etc. etc. etc.

What poppycock!

The King of Cockamamie Climate Change, former Vice President Albert Arnold Gore, has made a fortune by stoking fear in public hearts over global warming, a remarkable achievement considering he has zero scientific qualifications to stoke much.  Nevertheless, his total lack of any climate expertise hasn’t prevented the overachieving Goreacle from preaching, and cashing in, on the rapidly-approaching cataclysm as he laughs all the way to his bank.

For example, Gore warned a German audience in 2008 that “The entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.” In 2006 at NYU Law School, he declared, “Many  scientists are now warning that we are moving closer to several ‘tipping points’ that could–within as little as 10 years–make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable damage to the planet’s habitability for human civilization.”  He has observed that, “The interior of the earth is extremely hot–several million degrees.”  He once quipped, “Here is the truth: The Earth is round; Saddam Hussein did not attack us on 9/11; Elvis is dead; Obama was born in the United States; and the climate crisis is real.”

And, if that slanted information and obvious misinformation failed to sway us idiotic “deniers,” Gore upped the ante with this apocalyptic threat: “The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk. And even more–if more should be required–the future of human civilization is at stake.”

With visions of money dancing in their hot heads and, of equal importance, dreams of leveling the playing field between the world’s so-called “haves” and the “have nots,” nothing seems to faze the warmists. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35953.)

Ronald Reagan, America's Greatest President

Ronald Reagan, America's Greatest President

 

Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, would have been 103 years old this month had he not gone to his heavenly reward ten years ago, a regrettable if inevitable passing.  He was the greatest chief executive in America’s history who even in his dotage could have outshone and outperformed the current occupant of the White House.

All lists of the most influential U.S. presidents in our history are necessarily subjective and most place Abraham Lincoln in the top spot because he preserved the Union during what was easily the worst experience the nation had endured since the American Revolution.

Subjective lists are one thing; terminal asininity is quite another. 

Demonstrating severe deterioration of the cerebral cortex resulting from overdoses of liberal-leftist propaganda, some lists based on the skewed opinions of deluded academics and biased journalists actually omit Reagan entirely from their top 10 presidents and include John F. Kennedy and such people as Woodrow Wilson and William J. Clinton! 

In 2011, Gallup set the record straight with its poll of the people who count, everyday Americans, who chose Reagan as “the nation’s greatest president,” slightly ahead of Lincoln. (http://tinyurl.com/73lwuhm)

Jordan Davis: This Year's Trayvon? (Part Two)

Jordan Davis: This Year's Trayvon? (Part Two)

The tragic death of black teenager Trayvon Martin on February 26th, 2012 in Sanford, Florida and a jury’s exoneration of the man who was forced to kill him in self-defense under Florida’s controversial stand-your-ground law, 28 year old part-hispanic George Zimmerman, still reverberate throughout black America as a travesty of justice.

That opinion is primarily based on very disputable claims that seventeen year old Trayvon was an innocent African-American boy who was just strolling along in the rain in the gloaming with a box of Skittles and a bottle of Arizona Fruit Juice in a mostly-white Sanford, Florida community that had recently experienced a rash of burglaries and push-in robberies.

As with so many other details about Martin–who, by the way, somehow looked like President Obama’s son if he had had a son and could even have been Obama himself–the president’s mainstream media never bothered to mention that Skittles and Arizona Fruit Juice are ingredients used to create an illicit, home-made drug called “Sizzurp” or “Lean” when combined with codeine.

Seventeen year old Jordan Davis, however, wasn’t carrying candy or juice on the evening of November 23rd, 2012 when Michael Dunn shot and killed him in a Jacksonville, Florida convenience store parking lot after Davis and his friends had threatened to murder him.  Dunn testified at his trial that he believed he saw the barrel of a shotgun in their dimly-lit suv but, following the fatal shooting and Dunn’s firing at their fleeing car with his licensed, legal pistol, no weapons were found in their vehicle.

Dunn’s shooting seven times at their car and the subsequent failure of police to find any weapons may have influenced Duval County to upgrade the initial charge of second degree to first degree murder.

Deceptively dubbed the “loud music trial” by the MSM in reference to what Dunn described as the painfully-thumping sounds blared from the suv, the “stand-your-ground trial” would be much more apt even though Dunn’s attorney never invoked that law which permits deadly force if people “reasonably believe” someone will hurt them. 

Dunn pinned his defense not on the deafening music but rather on that perceived shotgun barrel and Davis yelling, “You’re dead” and other obscenity-laced threats which caused him to fear his death was “imminent.”  

Last Saturday, the jury found Michael Dunn guilty . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35891.)

Hoovervilles and Obamavilles

Hooverville's and Obamavilles

 

In the estimation of many economists today, Republican President Herbert Hoover C. Hoover was unfairly saddled with the blame for the Great Depression.

In fact, the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act which greatly contributed to that massive, economic and social collapse had been enacted two years before his election; the stock market crash of 1929 occurred less than eight months after he took office; and he had instituted public works projects long before Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s brain trust thought of comparable New Deal programs.

An astute and experienced engineer, Hoover promoted government efficiency to combat systemic government waste and inefficiency as well as the need for public volunteerism in American society and in the economic sphere.  Nevertheless, he was crushed in the 1932 presidential election by FDR who never did get us out of the Great Depression until he hit on the idea of involving America in World War Two by virtually inviting Japan to attack Pearl Harbor.

As the Depression deepened and millions lost their jobs and homes, shantytowns, mainly but not exclusively located near major cities, began cropping up around the country.  Those ramshackle collections of the destitute and dispossessed came to be known as Hoovervilles and became the single most vivid embodiment of Hoover’s “failures”–and a major cause of his electoral defeat.

Ironically, America under the Democrat administration of President Barack Hussein Obama, champion of the destitute, the dispossessed and oppressed, is now witnessing a re-birth of Hooverville’s, only, this time around, they’re being described as Obamavilles, reflecting their residents’ belief that Obama is the primary cause of their sorry plight. . .  (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35897.)
