Welcome Back Carter

This post pretty much sums up the incompetent boob we have as president.

I wish we had a competent man, or woman, in the White House.  Unfortunately, we don't.  Barack Obama is going to go down in history as the president who lost Turkey, Lebanon, now Egypt, and possibly even Saudi Arabia (and quite possibly beyond even that...).  I can't wait to watch the National Democratic Socialist Party spin all this, but I doubt I'll have to wait very long.

There's an old saying that the people deserve the government they elect.  Well, 53 percent of us deserve it at least.  Unfortunately, so far it seems that the other 47 percent are taking all the hits.  I can't tell you how sad and frustrating it is to watch this all happen to our great country, but I can tell you how it all happened.

But what really pisses me off is that I'm willing to bet money that the Democrats will blame all of this on George W. Bush.  It's not that I will deny that he might have some responsibility (this could actually be blamed more on Condi Rice...), but it's truly amazing how the Left (Democrats, MFM, and their sychophants...) will stop at nothing to absolve themselves of any responsibility for current events, even those of their own making.  At some point, we need adults in charge, not the unintellectual and over-emotional cowards that run the executive branch right now.  Alas, we are at least two years away from that.

Barack Hussein Reagan?

In their attempt to salvage a Narrative™ from possibly the most banal SOTU speech in recent memory, the Democrats' Propaganda Ministry has settled on a new meme through which they compare their Lord God King with Ronald Reagan.  I guess they've decided to throw Lincoln, FDR, & LBJ under the bus.

Anyway, there is one small problem with their strategy: Barack Obama is no Ronald Reagan.

So I think we are safe sticking with the much more appropriate Jimmy Carter comparison.

The Truth About Barry Soetoro's Birth Certificate

This is the most complete and plausible theory regarding Barack Obama's birth certificate I have seen.

The beauty is in the simplicity of the problem, and the fact that given the inherent corruption of human nature, it seems all too likely.  It doesn't delve into some of the more far-fetched theories and postulations involving foreign birth, British nationality, or religious implications.  Instead, it keeps at its heart the fact that people are rarely nearly as smart or crafty as they think they are.  In the end, it looks like a certain connivance and less-than-diabolical treachery born of his noted enormously high self-regard might be the primary culprits of such an embarrassing situation for the President, one that forces him to spend millions of dollars covering up to this day.

Here's is the basic summary of the new unified theory, but you should read the whole thing to see it come together:

I honestly and truly believe this solves the entire mystery.
It is seriously this straightforward.
* Obama was indeed born in Hawaii in 1961.
* Obama was indeed adopted by Lolo Soetoro in the 1970s.
* Obama’s name was indeed changed to Barry Soetoro in the 1970s.
* Obama’s birth certificate was altered per Hawaiian law to reflect his new name in the 1970s.
* Obama never changed his name back to “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.” — most likely because he used “Barry Soetoro” on all of his student aid applications for college, and probably received foreign student grants and admissions assistance playing off his years living in Indonesia.
* All the records, transcripts, documents, and paperwork Obama continues to hide from the public is all hidden because it lists his name as “Barry Soetoro” on all of it.
* Obama will not allow his birth certificate to be released because it lists the “wrong” name on it:  Barry Soetoro.
It is as simple as this, folks.


Occam's Razor is a beautiful tool indeed.

So, though the vast majority of the Birthers may be wrong - and thus this is not a constitutional crisis at all - the likelyhood is that the President indeed has an embarrassing history of deceitful self-service in manipulating his way up the rungs of the credentialed class, all the way to the presidency.  But he forgot one small detail that would expose him for the charlatan he basically is, and always has been.

Of course, most of the "bitter clingers" knew he was a fraud and little more than a marketing gimmick from the beginning.  It's his once-devoted acolytes who are learning this the hard way.

You're All a Bunch of Mental Defectives

No, really.  Apparently, you are.  Or at least those are the odds.

The article seems to be worried about the corrupting effect of the new APA manual, and the profiteering potential for the pharmaceutical companies.  Though it is easy to understand and agree with those concerns, I have a different take.

I haven't seen where anyone else has pointed out this angle, but the real threat to making everything a psychological disorder is that such a diagnosis can then be used to deny the individual a right to purchase a firearm.  See USC, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44, Section 922(g)(4).

So quit worrying about all the profiteering and focus on the threat to our constitutional liberty.  What they're really after is our guns.  Before you scoff, Section 922(g)(8) has been used by many liberal judges to achieve the same effect by issuing a restraining order on the male spouse in every single divorce proceeding under their purview whether or not even requested by the other spouse or state, or warranted by actual evidence or suspicion.

They want our guns and they will do anything to get them, especially through lawfare.  And there are already enough codified restrictions on gun ownership for them to achieve this without any further laws, let alone an outright prohibition.  Incremently - the Left, like the Islamists they sympathize with (if not support), are very patient - they will regulate our freedoms away little by little and always using the justification of some sort of academic or scientific authority (or emotional event, like the Tuscon shooting).  They'll never knock on our doors and demand our firearms or other freedoms.  Instead, we'll just wake up one day and they'll be gone.

Still think I just being paranoid?  Well, please name for me a single one of the first ten amendments to the Constitution that has not been infringed upon by our federal government, especially over the past century.  This is what progressives do, and they have slowly taken control of almost every scientific and academic institution in our country precisely so that they can achieve these types of social engineering.

It's not paranoia, but simply a recognition of reality.
