Some Observations On The House, Values, Wind, And The Obamessiah

Some observations from recent headlines:

====================================

Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in the House are still wasting time, showing us why they've achieved historically low approval levels.  They're still trying to condemn Karl Rove for his 'sins' -- which have been completely disproven for years -- while working as Bush's adviser, and they're still apologizing for slavery and Jim Crow laws.  She also has a twisted sense of 'values':

"San Francisco values to me means that every child in our city has health insurance until they are 25 years old. San Francisco values say we don't have a minimum wage, we have a living wage. In San Francisco we respect the dignity and worth of every person and respect is the order of the day there. Issues like protecting the environment aren't issues for us -- they are values and ethics."

Michelle Malkin points out the following...

See what's missing?

Not a word about the San Francisco values that led to illegal alien Honduran crack dealers getting subsidized escort shuttle service back home to escape deportation and prosecution. Not a word about the San Francisco values that led to illegal alien drug lords getting sent down and dumped on San Bernardino group homes– only to walk out of them scot-free. Not a word about the San Francisco values that gave bloody sanctuary to the illegal alien killer of the Bologna family. Illegal alien sanctuary policies have been an inhumane curse on untold numbers of families in the Bay Area. Let's hear about those San Francisco values, Nan.

I think that if San Francisco 'values' became the norm across America, I'd move to Australia.

====================================

Barack Obama has answered the question of why he is uncomfortable wearing an American flag lapel pin: because he feels he's a citizen of the world, not America.  It's too bad that reality intrudes on his prophetic vision:

But "citizen of the world" is a utopian, unreal, angelic, inhuman term, an abstraction of the sort that leads to immense bloodshed as human irregularities are hacked off and angularity is loudly planed away. I agree with Pete Wehner's observation on Commentary's website that one can be a citizen of the United States, but not — in anything like the same sense — of the world.  One can enjoy the natural rights protected by the U.S. Constitution, but will not find such rights protected globally, not even in France, as Byron York pointed out last month and again on Friday.

The Berlin speech also explains why Obama is more likely to praise an "ideal" America than the real America. He is bewitched by abstractions and lofty ideals.

Do we really want to elect a President who feels a stronger connection to foreign nations -- which don't have the same rights and protections as we do, and many of whom are actively hostile toward us -- than to our own country?

====================================

Here's a great example of liberal Democrats at work.  The DNC, to keep its environmentalist wacko base happy, is trying to keep their convention carbon neutral.  To do that, they're buying carbon offsets in the form of sponsoring a wind turbine in in eastern Colorado for the energy used by the convention.  The problem here is that the wind turbine isn't functional, and it is incapable of producing its intended output.  They keep turning it on and off, though, to make it look like it's working.

====================================

Let us consider Barack the Obamessiah.  He seems to be forgetting one teeny, tiny detail...we have these things called elections.  He has to win that before assuming power.  That hasn't stopped him from acting like the President already, though.  He seems to have abandoned the hope of winning for the change of having a new president, but without the fuss of an actual election!  Convenient, is it not?

On another note, is the Obamessiah bubble about to burst?  He continues to give up ground in the polls.  Also, the 200,000 people who attended his speech in Berlin may have actually been closer to 20,000.  Eh, what's a decimal point when you're talking about the Obamessiah?  After all, the Obamessiah is more noble than anyone else in the world, you know (never mind that his actual credentials pale in comparison with some of those lesser beings).  The future for women under the Obamessiah is very bleak, but on the other hand, illegal aliens will get free health care and blacks and Hawaiians will get reparations.  Truly, the Obamessiah is a symbol.  In his own words, he has, "become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."  There is a question of the context, but regardless, this statement brings us back to his universe-sized ego and excessive hubris.

Some observations for you to ponder...

There's my two cents.
