The Worst Public Speaker Ever

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

And just as an afterthought…

You may be able to overlook her unbridled lust for money, and power for its own sake, and her absolute lack of scruple when it comes to obtaining either one. You may be able to tolerate her total inability to tell the truth, anytime, anywhere, about anything.

But are you tough enough to endure four years of Hillary Clinton’s public speaking?

In the above video, Mrs. Clinton puts on what she conceives to be a Southern black person’s accent. This is truly teeth-gnashing stuff!

And she got away with it!

Can you even imagine the reaction if this stuff ever came out of the mouth of, say, Dick Cheney?

As Steve Brown says, You think about that!

You Heard It from a Noozie: Man is God

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

In case you missed it last week, noozie Chris Cuomo publicly stated that we get our rights not from God who created us, but from man ( http://www.worldmag.com/2015/02/chris_cuomo_our_rights_do_not_come_from_god ).

http://accessnews.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Declaration-of-Independence.jpg

He made this grotesque remark in an interview with Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, in which he tried to overthrow Moore’s argument that marriage is ordained by God to consist of a man and a woman. Judge Moore is a great man. Chris, the brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo–who famously postulated that a Christian politician need not, in his public policy, be guided by Christian morality–is a noozie, which these days is a shameful thing to be. He is also an ignoramus, running straight up against Thomas Jefferson: who wrote, in The Declaration of Independence,

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…

“Inalienable,” for those who can’t do adult crossword puzzles, means not for sale, cannot be given away, cannot be taken away: these are rights that are inherent in our status as human beings.

I leave it to you whether this noozie is a pagan. But if he isn’t, I daresay there’s something very deficient in his grasp of Christian doctrine.

What man can give, man can take away. The noozies are comfortable with that now because their favorite progs and libs control the state. They ought to bear in mind Plutarch’s observation that tyranny is a nice, high perch, but there’s no safe way down from it.

How to Get Kicked Out of Big-Time Sports

So Democrat donor and Clippers owner Don Sterling has a lifetime ban from the NBA, and a $2.5 million fine, This is because he made racist remarks on tape, which is not, in fact, against the law. The nooze media are enjoying an orgy of back-slapping: “Hah, we really got that no-good racist pig!”

To put it in historical context, consider some of these other suspensions.

In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers’ manager Leo Durocher was suspended because of allegations that he was involved with “gamblers.” Since the Black Sox scandal of 1919, baseball has been acutely sensitive about gambling. (That’s why the all-time base hit leader, Pete Rose, is on a lifetime suspension.) My wife’s family remembered it as Durocher being suspended for writing love letters to movie star Laraine Day–whom he later married,  but who at the time was married to someone else. But the official reason given was consorting with gamblers. You’d think, if there was substance to it, that charge would have gotten him more than a one-year suspension.

In 1973, New York Yankee pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich were suspended for a year for swapping wives (and, later on, the family dogs and children, too). Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn said he levied the suspension because it was his duty to serve as “the conscience of baseball.”

From 1996 to 1998, Cincinnati Reds’ owner Marge Schott was suspended for allegedly making racist comments about all sorts of people. I think her problem was that no one in the baseball establishment liked her because she was a loose cannon. Owners are not supposed to be colorful. (That was George Steinbrenner’s problem, too.)

We observe, then, that what happened to Sterling has happened to others, more or less.

What is different about this example is that the nooze media arm of the Democrat Party intend to use it as campaign fodder in this year’s mid-term elections.

When your policies fail, one and all, and your leaders are schmucks, and it looks like your gang is about to lose the Senate–well, that’s when you play the race card. Over and over and over again–and hope you scare your voting base into turning out for you.

Which is more despicable–big sports or big politics?

How to End Income Inequality

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

Libs ‘n’ progs and other Democrats are at it again with Income Inequality. They indulge a superstitious belief that, if only government executes the right policy, there will be Income Equality.

Can I have a nice big house like Al Gore has, when that happens?

It seems they’ve discovered a 700-page tome by a French economist, Thomas Piketty, who says capitalism doesn’t work, we gotta have a global tax on everyone and much higher taxes on “the rich,” otherwise Income Inequality will destroy us, yatta-yatta blah-blah-blah.

As we all know, socialism produces a lot of Income Equality and communism produces even more. And Pol Pot’s little experiment in Cambodia produced more yet.

But for the greatest example ever of creating Income Equality, history directs our attention to South Africa in 1856.

Distressed by the encroachments of the British settlers, the Xhosa nation harkened to a prophetess who told them that the spirits of their ancestors would chase the British out of Africa–but only if the Xhosa people first destroyed their own crops and killed off all their cattle.

So they did. They trashed their fields and killed between 300,000 and 400,000 cattle.

And presto! No more Income Inequality! The fact that the Xhosa population went from 105,000 to 27,000 is only an annoyance.

Do you think this is an incredible story? It’s a fact of history: you could look it up ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nongqawuse ).

This is the only historical example of the problem of Income Inequality actually being solved, if only temporarily.

The Year Britain Went Mad

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

1936: Let us set the stage.

In defiance of treaty obligations, Nazi Germany is arming at a frantic pace. We know from captured documents that Hitler was already planning to unleash war in Europe. He has occupied the Rheinland demilitarized zone. Already he has more modern weapons than Britain and France. He has every intention of using them.

Now let us turn to Britain, whose survival is very much at stake.

In a speech before the House of Commons, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin admits he considers it more important to win elections than to defend the country. For this he earns not disgust and hatred, but a rousing cheer. He is encouraged in a policy of appeasement by his chancellor and soon-to-be successor, Neville Chamberlain: who views everything in terms of pounds and pence, and says that standing up to Hitler will hamper trade and cost money.

The new King of England, Edward VIII, refuses to abandon his affair with multiple divorcee Wallis Simpson, an American with strong pro-Nazi sympathies. This escalates into a constitutional crisis, only resolved at last by the king’s abdication.

Winston Churchill, who has for years been trying to persuade Parliament to see the German threat, and to re-arm before it’s too late, squanders his hard-won political support by obstinately defending the king. By now the king is universally unpopular.

Churchill, who is never drunk, now shows up drunk to give a singularly tactless and clueless speech to the House of Commons. It comes very near to ending, once and for all, the career of the one man who might be able to save Europe from the Nazis.

Ex-King Edward with his new bride honeymoons in Germany, where he is photographed giving a Nazi salute.

Baldwin and Chamberlain, having bested Churchill in the fight over the king, double down on their appeasement policy. This will culminate in the infamous Munich pact of 1938, in which Chamberlain signs away Czechoslovakia to Hitler. From that point on, War War II is inevitable.

The lesson?

Daft leaders and foolish policies make for disaster.

All those people killed in the London Blitz, cringing in the subways as the Luftwaffe bombed their city into rubble… all because of this.

All because of this.
