Desperation, Incompetence And The D'oh Factor |

I Know It When I See It

 The 2012 presidential election is not a slam dunk for either party. Considering the formidable influence, money and momentum garnered by this incumbent, it is interesting to see the media campaign being carried out by the President's people. A weak strategy filled with weak talking points, many of which are backfiring and neutralizing their intended effect.
The mainstream political media hasn't had an original thought in over four years, so we know where all this stuff comes from: The Obama machine. Indisputably the state of this Country is not better than it was four years ago. Our economy still stinks with no legitimate rebound in unemployment. Race relations have deteriorated to the point where we could face a truly awful and dangerous summer in our big cities. The world hates and disrespects America more than ever. Inflation is robbing our citizens of their savings and buying power, increasing energy costs and eroding the bottom line of American companies big and small. Most disheartening is the growing number of Americans who truly believe their President has told them that they have a right to take the earnings and property of others...In the name of fairness.
With nothing positive to talk about, Democratic operatives are showing an odd mix of desperation and incompetence, heavily seasoned with the "D'oh factor".

 A lot has happened during the last few weeks. I'll try to catch up a bit in this post:
Rick Santorum dropped out of the race for the Republican Presidential nomination. I've liked Santorum from the beginning, though recognizing he probably didn't have the staying power to really make a strong bid. Although I am not as socially conservative as he, I have admired him for his fearless adherence to spiritual and moral principle. I think he is a good and decent man who would have made a good and decent President; something our Country probably could use right now. I had no idea he has a child with special medical needs. His withdrawal at this time is best for his family, and especially for his little girl. Rick Santorum is a young man, and there will be plenty time for other Presidential bids. I'm sure in the final assessment of Rick's life, he won't wish he had spent more time campaigning, and less with his daughter.

Trayvon's Memory Not Served By Hatred |

It always amazes me how many people are willing to trivialize the shooting or death of another human to score political points. I've mentioned it in the past with regard to Congresswoman Giffords, and an unfortunate park ranger here in Washington State. What kind of demented mindset believes that the memory of a dead or injured person is enhanced by controversy or divisiveness heightened by that tragedy?

ABC News: Heartless Cheney Steals One! |

Good Morning America at ABC ran a story this morning about Dick Cheney's surprise heart transplant. Apparently he has been on a waiting list for almost two years, being kept alive by a battery powered pump device. The emphasis of the story wasn't about the news of the story, or the technology of the procedure. It was about the burning question: Was Cheney too old for the transplant, and who did he cheat that might have benefited more from the transplant? Obamacare, here we come.
The left doesn't like to hear the words "death panels" so I won’t' use them here, (whoops, too late). I don't know what else you could call a group of government bureaucrats that decide who is worthy of life saving transplants or surgery.
Call me crazy if you want, but I am really concerned what criteria will be addressed behind closed doors. Age, IQ, lifetime achievement, future potential, political leaning? One could say that insurance companies make those decisions now, but they are based on financial considerations, not how the patient voted in the last election. I'd take my chances with them any day over the guys in DC.
ABC's report did mention in passing that Cheney waited longer than average for the transplant, and that there is no longer any general age limit for the procedure in a healthy person. There was no apparent favoritism or preferential treatment for the former Vice President, so where is the news and who determined the headline emphasis?
Would they be asking the same question if the heart recipient was Nancy Pelosi (71) or Jimmy Carter (87)? My bet is the media would be gushing over the incredible strength, vitality and long public service of these individuals, without a word about who they "stole" the heart from.

Women's Issues Only Misdirect |

Political Sleight Of Hand

 People, please watch the other hand. What you are seeing is not what is really going on. This past week has seen a concentration of volatile issues related to women's rights. We’ve seen the military open more positions to women. We've seen the controversy over where Susan G. Komen distributes its grants. Perhaps most importantly, we've seen the Obama administration attempt to trample the religious freedoms of certain faiths in America, in the name of "women's rights". Pay attention here. What you are seeing is not what it seems.

Komen Mugged By Pro-Choice Left |

 The Komen controversy this week has been a lesson in the workings of radical left wing politics in this Country. We have seen clearly how the loudest most militant elements of our society get their way by threat, coercion and tantrum. We have also seen 26 Senators throw their political weight behind a dispute that is in the end, a private funding issue. The Komen foundation has a right to grant their funds to anyone they want, without interference from special interest groups or the Government. Who would imagine that running a women's charitable organization could be like a midnight walk through Central Park?
