War and “Peace!”

I remember the nutty ‘60s, when the left-wingnut-hippies marched in the streets with demands that U.S. unilaterally disarm and somehow bring “peace” to the planet. Never mind that would mean the Soviets would use their nuclear arsenal to take over the world. We’d still have “peace.”

Well the “disarm America” left-wingnuts are back and guess who their leader is? Ace reports: Obama Vows To Rid the US of Nuclear Weapons

Ace sez: “Actually, he vows to rid "the world" of nuclear weapons, but we know of only one country he can successfully manage that trick with, and he's just crazy enough to do it.

On the other hand from peace, there’s war. And our troops are winning the two big fronts in the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, contrary to what the mainstream media is reporting and the best-laid plans of Obama and the left-wingnuts, who continue to chant “Cut and run! Now!”

Michael Yon, the Ernie Pyle of Iraq, writes “by my estimation, the Iraq War is over. We won. Which means the Iraqi people won.”

Three other war analysts agree: “All of the most important objectives of the surge have been accomplished in Iraq. The sectarian civil war is ended; al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) has been dealt a devastating blow; and the Sadrist militia and other Iranian-backed militant groups have been disrupted.”

Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan, remember that big “defeat” our troops supposedly suffered earlier this week in an attack by the Taliban? Jeff Emmanuel calls it ‘An Alamo With a Better Ending’. “As recounted by the AP and other media outlets, nine U.S. paratroopers lost their lives -- a full fifth of the American contingent. Further, fifteen U.S. and four Afghan soldiers were also wounded in the attack, meaning that, against an assault and support force of nearly 500 militant fighters, only 21 U.S. and 21 Afghan soldiers were able to fight at full strength -- and they succeeded not only in killing dozens of attackers, but in repelling the onslaught completely.”

Let’s see: 500 vs. 42. And 42 U.S. and Afghan soldiers open a can of whup a$$ on the 500 and kill dozens and run the rest off. 'Splain it to me Lucy, how does that come out that to be a “defeat” for the good guys and a “victory” for the bad guys? Only if you report for the AP and the MSM.

The only defeat going on in Iraq and Afghanistan is for Obama and his left-wingnuts and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The troops are winning. So that means guess who is losing? I believe not only has the tide turned in Iraq, but here at home, too. Americans are already sick and tired of $4 a gallon gas. And guess who still refuses to Drill Here, Drill Now!?

If you haven't joined the 1,353,226 Americans who have already signed the Drill Here, Drill Now! petition, do it now!

Mocking Barack

Maureen Dowd, the best-lookin’ redheaded op-ed columnist at the New York Times, asks May We Mock, Barack?

The answer, if you lean leftward, is “How dare you!?” as The New Yorker magazine found out this week. But it wasn’t always this way.

Maureen writes: When I interviewed Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for Rolling Stone a couple years ago, I wondered what Barack Obama would mean for them. “It seems like a President Obama would be harder to make fun of than these guys,” I said.

“Are you kidding me?” Stewart scoffed. Then he and Colbert both said at the same time: “His dad was a goat-herder!”

When I noted that Obama, in his memoir, had revealed that he had done some pot, booze and “maybe a little blow,” the two comedians began riffing about the dapper senator’s familiarity with drug slang.

Colbert: Wow, that’s a very street way of putting it. “A little blow.”

Stewart: A little bit of the white rabbit.

Colbert: “Yeah, I packed a cocktail straw of cocaine and had a prostitute blow it in my ear, but that is all I did. High-fivin’.”

That was then. But since then, this son of a goat-herder who admits to sniffing “a little blow” has been proclaimed by lefties as “Messiah,” “Lightworker,” “Enlightened Being” and Mr. “Thrill up my leg” just to list a few of their over-the-top names for He-who-shall-not-be-mocked.

But of course, members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (of which I have been a member since before Hillary named us) have no difficulty whatsoever finding something about Obama to mock. So herewith is the Reader’s Digest version of right-o-sphere names for The Anointed One.

Ace of Spades has coined my personal favorite, Captain Bullsh!t, which of course mocks Obama’s ever-changing versions of what “I have always been for…” and his extremely slippery and loose grip on “truthiness.” Or as Ace so colorfully often puts it, Obama’s “loose sh!t.”

Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee calls Obama “Flapjack” for the same reasons, his constant flip-flops on what “I have always been for…”

Michelle Malkin calls him “D'OH-bama which if I’m not mistaken is a favorite way of saying “Stupid!” on “The Simpsons.”

James Lewis at American Thinker calls him “Alfred E. Obama” referring to the freckle-faced kid with the big ears in Mad magazine. Lewis apparently named him thusly because “Obama told Maureen Dowd early in the primaries that he is hypersensitive to any remarks about his ears.”

Jennifer Rubin at American Spectator notes that John McCain “came up with a slick moniker for Obama: Dr. No,” in contrast to McCain’s support for new domestic oil drilling to relieve pain at the pump, which Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the entire left are vehemently opposing.

Jennifer asks: “Could the Agent of Change be transformed into Dr. No? … Public polling indicates McCain may have caught a wave. Significant majorities now favor increased domestic oil production including offshore drilling. When Obama doubled-down on Tuesday, declaring that he wouldn't be joining the ranks of nervous Democrats now considering offshore oil development, the McCain team no doubt smiled broadly.

Perhaps McCain’s name for Obama will be the one that hurts him the most. It mocks Barack on an issue that seems to resonate with voters.

If you’d like to join the “Mock Obama” movement, here’s a site that lets you create your own ‘Mock Obama’ poster. Pick a name and go for it. Here's my "Mock Obama" campaign poster.
