More of Jimmy Carter is Still the Worst

You know how I dislike Jimmy Carter and he has made it easy to do so -

Mr. Peanut

Clarice Feldman

Chris Hitchens has an honest evaluation of Jimmy Carter, who has the distinction of being both the worst President and worst Ex-President of my lifetime:

In the Carter years, the United States was an international laughingstock. This was not just because of the prevalence of his ghastly kin: the beer-sodden brother Billy, doing deals with Libyan President Muammar Qaddafi, and the grisly matriarch, Miz Lillian. It was not just because of the president's dire lectures on morality and salvation and his weird encounters with lethal rabbits and UFOs. It was not just because of the risible White House "Bible study" sessions run by Bert Lance and his other open-palmed Elmer Gantry pals from Georgia. It was because, whether in Afghanistan, Iran, or Iraq-still the source of so many of our woes-the Carter administration could not tell a friend from an enemy. His combination of naivete and cynicism-from open-mouthed shock at Leonid Brezhnev's occupation of Afghanistan to underhanded support for Saddam in his unsleeping campaign of megalomania-had terrible consequences that are with us still. It's hardly an exaggeration to say that every administration since has had to deal with the chaotic legacy of Carter's mind-boggling cowardice and incompetence.

Give him the hook already!

The UN in Comic Refief

You have to read this as it shows how worthless the UN really is and always has been - this is form the American Thinker -

Tragedy as comedy
Ethel C. Fenig

Riddle: why is the UN like a Marx Brothers (or for the more contemporary, Jim Carey) comedy? Because they say and do unbelievably silly things and get away with it.
And proving that comedy can be a cover for tragedy, while we can enjoy the antics of the comedians, the UN drives all to despair, and more, with its tragic behavior.

In the latest comic UN example masking true tragedy,Zimbabwe won approval on Friday to head a key U.N. body charged with promoting economic progress and environmental protection
Yes, Zimbabwe! Zimbabwe that country headed by

President Robert Mugabe, an 83-year-old who has ruled Zimbabwe since it gained independence from Britain in 1980, has been criticized by the West and domestic opponents for repression, corruption, acute food shortages and gross economic mismanagement that has driven inflation above 2,000 percent -- the highest in the world. Mugabe has acknowledged that police used violent methods against opposition supporters. (Italics added.)
Yep, just the country, the ideal role model even " to head a key UN body charged with promoting economic progress and environmental protection." The only good news, kind of, sort of, is that there were actually some
protests from the U.S., European nations and human rights organizations.
Wow!

"We're very disappointed in the election of Zimbabwe as chair," said the U.S. representative to the commission Dan Reifsnyder, deputy assistant secretary for environment and science at the State Department."We really think it calls into question the credibility of this organization to have a representative from a country that has decimated its agriculture, that used to be the breadbasket of Africa and can't now feed itself," said Reifsnyder.
In addition,

Several European nations have also called Zimbabwe's candidacy inappropriate.
On Friday, the Pan African Parliament, a body of the African Union, voted to send a mission to Zimbabwe to investigate alleged human rights abuses "relating to the arrests and detention, assault and murder of political activists and members of the media."

"Zimbabwe is hardly a model of good governance or sustainable development or even responsible leadership," Benjamin Chang, deputy spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, said before the vote. "Our concern is that it's potential chairmanship would undermine the commission's credibility."

Undermining the credibility of a UN body? You mean the UN, which brought us the oil for food scandal among so many, many others, which devotes an inordinate amount of time condemning Israel for defending itself, has any credibility among decent thinking people? Actually, the Zimbabwe appointment fits right in with the UN's current lack of credibility. It is so-o-o appropriate.

Liberals hate Good News About America

Well how do you do - here is more good news about our economy which has to absolutely kill the Marxist Democrats that want America to crash and burn -

As good socialists, they hate the market economy especially one that has served America for hundreds of years. They want a socialist system that will destroy all that America is but leave them with huge banks accounts overseas. The liberals want everything you and I have including our souls - remember they hate Christians too -

Missing Headlines (a continuing series)
Ed Lasky

"April Revenue Shower" - The Wall Street Journal reports:

"Here's the "surge" you aren't reading about: the continuing flood of tax revenue into the federal Treasury.

Tax receipts for April were $70 billion above the same month in 2006, and April 24 marked the single biggest day of tax collections in U.S. history, at $48.7 billion, according to the latest Treasury report.

"The April comparison is slightly askew because the IRS processed more returns than usual this year. But there's no denying that Americans are sending more money than ever to Washington; revenues for the first seven months of fiscal 2007 are up 11.3%, or $153 billion.

This Beltway bonanza has helped to slash the projected federal budget deficit by more than half "

Marxist Media Not Interested in Good News

The Marxist media will hate to even think about such a horrible thing as the Army National Guard meeting and surpassing it enrollment 6 months ahead of time.

You can just imagine the socialist bastards in congress that will grind their collective jaws when hearing this news - I hope those hateful monsters have a bad day -

Trouble for the National Guard? No just good news!

Gerd SchroederI bet most haven't seen this good news for the war effort reported in the major media; but it seems that someone forgot to tell the National Guard that we have lost the War. Better get on the Harry. It could be contagious.

Army Guard reaches 350,000-member goal ahead of schedule

ARLINGTON, Va. (4/23/2007) - The Army National Guard reached its congressionally authorized end strength of 350,000 Citizen-Soldiers on March 30, six months earlier than originally projected, Army Guard officials have reported.

Here are the main facts from Lt. Col. Diana Craun, the Army Guard's deputy chief for strength maintenance.

1. "Retention is highest among units that have returned from deployments, and retention is an essential element in end strength,"
2. It is the first time that the Army Guard has been at full strength since 1999
3. As long as someone doesn't turn off the machine, as long as we have the resources available to recruit like we do now, I fully expect us to be around 356,000 at the end of this year," Lt. Gen. Clyde Vaughn, director of the Army Guard, said in Congressional testimony on April 11.
4. The achievement follows one of the Army Guard's most successful recruiting and retention years in its history
5. The force experienced a net growth of 13,111 Soldiers during fiscal year 2006, Guard officials said, and it surpassed its retention goal of 34,875 by reenlisting 41,083 Soldiers.
6. unprecedented for the all-volunteer force since the end of the military draft 34 years ago.
7. More than 70 percent of the new readiness and retention NCOs have served in Iraq or Afghanistan or elsewhere during the Global War on Terrorism and can speak firsthand about the challenges and the benefits of serving in the Guard
8. Two years ago, recruiters contacted an average of 49 prospects for every one who signed a contract. Now, the contact to contract ratio is 22 to 1.

If this news gets out, the media and the democrats will go into major damage control mode. But it is not likely that it will. The report was reliased on the 23rd of April (almost two weeks ago). The military public affairs has some responsibility in letting the media get away with not reporting this key inticator of support for the war among the troops.

For years we have heard how the National Guard is on the verge of collaps. But each year the liberal prophets are proven wrong. The American Military is far more resiliant than the media has portrayed.

Liberals Live By and For Lies

Was there ever a time when you thought the liberal left was telling the truth? Naaa!

How the left argues

Thomas Lifson

Soros-funded Media Matters operates in essence a briefing organization, supplying left wing journalists and opinion leaders with talking points to discredit conservative media, especially talk show hosts, in a press release today. It was mass emailed even to me this morning. Media Matters debunks in advance a program they haven't seen, a one hour global warming TV show by Glenn Beck, of Headline News and talk radio.

Rather than dispute any any of the substantive issues likely to be on the show, Media Matters supplies ammunition to argue that the views expressed on the show are from a discredited source. This document perfectly expresses the dominant attitude of the left, which sees as conservatives as evil, not to be listened to, for fear of the satanic appeal of Rush Limbaugh and company. Read the press release here.

What it Means to be a Conservative

This is well put and to the point and, I might add, true. It's the very basis of our core beliefs. Read the entire article - -

From Powerline -

Damnation road

Andrew Klavan is the successful mystery novelist whose work includes Shotgun Alley, True Crime, Don't Say a Word and, most recently, Damnation Street. He's also a conservative. Joel Schwartz pays tribute to Klavan in the recent Weekly Standard article "The Klavan file" (subscribers only). The new issue of City Journal concludes with Klavan's "The big white lie." Here is the opening paragraph:

The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don’t have to lie. I don’t have to pretend that men and women are the same. I don’t have to declare that failed or oppressive cultures are as good as mine. I don’t have to say that everyone’s special or that the rich cause poverty or that all religions are a path to God. I don’t have to claim that a bad writer like Alice Walker is a good one or that a good writer like Toni Morrison is a great one. I don’t have to pretend that Islam means peace.

You'll want to read it all.

Rescuers smash through to ships trapped in pack ice

Canadian Press

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Coast guard icebreakers were smashing through a massive expanse of pack ice Wednesday in a bid to free about 100 sealing vessels stuck off Newfoundland's northeast coast and southern Labrador.

A spokesman for the Canadian Coast Guard said at least 10 vessels, in an area off Fogo Island, were in “extreme difficulty” with the risk that ice could pierce their hulls.
There were also three vessels in a similar predicament off southern Labrador, in the Strait of Belle Isle.
Local fishermen say the ice conditions are the worst they've seen in more than 20 years.

Brian Penney, a superintendent with the coast guard in Newfoundland and Labrador, said helicopters could be called in to rescue stranded crews as a northeast wind continues to jam the ice floes together.
“There's vessels disabled, there's vessels damaged. There's crews that are out on the ice because there's quite a possibility that their vessels may sink or the vessels are out on their sides,” he said.
“There's a strong possibility that there will be other crews we may have to rescue by coast guard ship or helicopter.”

Earlier in the day, a helicopter airlifted the crew from the Dad and Sons, which was damaged by ice off Fogo Island.

Mr. Penney said the stricken vessel is in danger of sinking.
“She's damaged and just listed out on the ice, and once the ice pressure comes off there's a good possibility the vessel will sink,” he said.
Meanwhile, the coast guard is trying to get supplies to those vessels that are “in most dire straits,” Mr. Penney said.
“Supplies are starting to run very low, in addition to fuel.”
Frank Pinhorn, executive director of the Canadian Sealers Association, said the amount of ice was unprecedented.

“Ice conditions are some of the most severe we've seen in 25 to 30 years,” Mr. Pinhorn said.
“I've talked to a lot of sealers and they've got holes punched in their new boats and they're taking on water.”

Search and rescue officials said the vessel Sir Wilfred Grenfell, which ventured further than it normally does into the pack ice, is also having difficulty and will need help from other icebreakers.
Another coast guard vessel, the George R. Pearkes, has been trying to reach the Grenfell, along with other vessels that have been pushed close to shore by the heaving ice.

The coast guard said two vessels in the Strait of Belle Isle — the Southern Pride and the Labrador Current — were in severe difficulty.

The crew of the Southern Pride had abandoned the vessel and was waiting on the ice for help, while many vessels in other areas were also being monitored.

Poor weather conditions grounded rescue aircraft and the Quebec-based icebreaker Desgrosier, which has been working in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, was called in to help.

Mr. Penney said many of the crews are reluctant to abandon their vessels as most sealers consider that option a last resort.

In “the worst-case scenarios” boats are sandwiched by the thick, moving ice and their hulls are cracked open.

Al Sharpton : Urban Terrorist and Liberal Democrat

The following is a short history of Al - it reveals him as the racist, hateful man that he is. No one is safe from his grab for power. Is it any wonder he is also a Democrat.

‘Rev’ Al Sharpton’s Record

1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent -- the crime never occurred -- but Sharpton taunts him: "If we're lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it." Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to recant his unspeakable slander or to apologize for his role in the odious affair.

1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and anti-Semitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin's funeral he rails against the "diamond merchants" -- code for Jews -- with "the blood of innocent babies" on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, "No justice, no peace." A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting "Kill the Jews!" and stabbed to death.

1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy's Fashion Mart, Freddy's white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensues; Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. "We will not stand by," he warns malignantly, "and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." Sharpton's National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy's are spat on and cursed as "traitors" and "Uncle Toms." Some protesters shout, "Burn down the Jew store!" and simulate striking a match. "We're going to see that this cracker suffers," says Sharpton's colleague Morris Powell. On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy's, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.

If Sharpton were a white skinhead, he would be a political leper, spurned everywhere but the fringe. But far from being spurned, he is shown much deference. Democrats embrace him. Politicians court him. And journalists report on his comings and goings while politely sidestepping his career as a hatemongering racial hustler.

Immigration Debate Erupts at UTSA
Melissa LudwigExpress-News

A simmering debate over illegal immigration at the University of Texas at San Antonio — where 45 percent of students are Hispanic — erupted into a heated protest Wednesday during an outdoor speech by Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.UTSA’s chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas invited

Simcox, whose groups of volunteers patrol the Mexican border to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country.

Liberal groups descended on the Simcox talk, booing and chanting into bullhorns throughout the speech and clashing with university police who were pushing them away from the stage. The spectacle drew a crowd of about 750 to the university’s Sombrilla Plaza, making it perhaps the largest culture clash on campus to date.

Though Simcox claimed his Minutemen stood watch on the border to rescue immigrants from dying in the desert, protesters said they didn’t buy it.

“He’s racist,” said Justin Felux, a member of the Student Worker Teacher Alliance, the group that organized the protest. “It’s a continuation of the Ku Klux Klan border watch in the 1970s.”
