Memorial Day
-
“Happy Memorial Day “ seems to be all you hear in the week prior to
Memorial Day. When the very definition of memorial is to remember, it seems
odd to say ...

Yeah, I know I just posted some meaningless political drivel, but something else came up in the news this morning. William Ayers is back in the news doing an interview with ABC (link). This article is basically the news media throwing a couple of softballs at the former terrorist about his role in damaging the Obama campaign.
If you don't know who William Ayers is, let me give you a brief history. Back in the 1960's, Ayers was a college student and he was smarter than anyone. So he took his smart college education and became an anti-establishment, anti-war, pro-socialism activist. Knowing that the only way to get through to America was to attack it, Ayers helped to form the Weather Underground, or Weathermen, a protest organization that had a knack for intelligence. This intelligence included protesting the violence of the Vietnam War with... well... violence. This organization bombed the Capitol, The Pentagon, and many police departments throughout the country. Their tactics almost always used explosives of some sort and when those weren't available, there were always violent clashes with local police.
So what's got me hot in this interview is a couple of statements from Ayers, defending himself and his terrorist organization.
Quote 1:
"It's not terrorism because it doesn't target people, to kill or injure,"
Quote 2:
"The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable acts were being done by our goverment... I never hurt or killed anyone,"
On February 16, 1970, San Francisco police office Sgt Brian McDonnell was working at his precinct when a bomb placed on the window ledge of his office exploded. Sgt. McDonnell was injured along with two other officers. 2 days later on February 18, 1970 Sgt. McDonnell succumbed to his wounds and passed away. The bomb was set and detonated by members of the Weather Underground. Larry Grathwol, an FBI mole inside the Weather Underground stated:
"[Ayers] cited as one of the real problems that someone like Bernardine Dohrn had to plan, develop, and carry out the bombing of the police station in San Francisco, and he specifically named her as the person that committed that act. . . . He said that the bomb was placed on the window ledge and he described the kind of bomb that was used to the extent of saying what kind of shrapnel was used in it. . . . [I]f he wasn’t there to see it, somebody who was there told him about it, because he stated it very emphatically."
Bernardine Dohrn was married to Ayers at the time.
Rock County, New York police officers Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown were responding to a bank robbery in 1981. They were shot to death. Along with an armoured car guard. Who were the bank robbers? Why, they were member of the Weather Underground, of course. They needed money to continue to finance their organization and didn't care who got in the way.
As far as the two quotes go, you can make your own assumption here. But making the assertion that violent protests, bombings, and the murder of at least 3 police officers and the wounding of countless others are not terrorist activities because no one got hurt or killed? Even writing that sentence doesn't make sense.
At the beginning of September, just as the election was getting into full swing, the O-man was getting pummeled from not only the right, but from Hillary Clinton also. On the 10th of that same month, his O-ness had a sit-down with former President of the United States, Bill Clinton(link). After that meeting, the tone from the Clintons changed to praise and support for the Obamanator. They actually went on the road and started campaigning for Obama. Any of you that I have mentioned this to also know that I have said that there is an appointment for either Bill or Hillary behind it. In order to get the support he needed to win the election, Obama needed the help and support of the great political juggernaut that is the Clinton machine. You just don't win an election without it. Anyway, Emperor O sold his soul to the proverbial devil in order to win.
Tonight, here is the news story posted on Drudge. (link) Sure it's the NY Post, but who knows. Maybe it actually IS true. And if it is, I present to you Madame Secretary(of state), Hillary Rodham-Clinton.
Oh, and for those of you keeping track of how stupid Sarah Palin is, (you know that whole, Africa is a country not a continent thing and other similar slander) turns out that it was all a lie. (link)
Good job, media.

I must say that as the American people have spoken and elected Barak Obama as president that I will give him my support. I hate posting later than I want to, because when I have an idea and don't get it out there, the talk radio guys tend to beat me to it. Not because I'm smart... I'm not. It's just common sense. That said... Glenn Beck says that we should give Obama a 100% approval rating to start with. Fine. I can do that. I have already decided to try and support him without compromising my values. But Obama, starting at 100% is now down to 98%
-1% = Picking Claire McCaskill to the cabinet. Really? This lady is insane and I'm not talking about "nose picking" insane, I mean full out "needs adult diapers" insane. Being from Missouri, I know that this lady is a nightmare. She thinks that Bush should have been impeached for lying to us about yellow cake uranium on Iraq (BTW - the US military found 500 tons in '05) - She admitted to recent drug use and has been implicated in recent ACORN voter fraud. She has tried to cut funding for the troops and loves it when people kill babies. Sorry Mr. President, -1% for you.
-1% = The "wait...what?" moment of the day comes from an admission by the Obama campaign that while the Bush tax cuts need to be repealed, Now is not the time because the economy is in bad shape. Wait...what? So if tax hikes will hurt an ailing economy... WHAT MAKES IT A GOOD IDEA TO BEGIN WITH? They just admitted that repealing the tax cuts will not help the economy, yet they still plan to do it to help the economy. I can't take it...!!! If socialism is the right way to go and will solve every problem, then why won't they push it in place as soon as they are in office? Because they know that it will hurt us like nothing else economically.
So...
While I am going to support the new President, I cannot find favor with some of the things he is already talking about. Hopefully, things go different and Claire has a moment of clarity.
Good Luck, Obama.
