Good Thing the Uneducated Troops Were There

John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Chuck Hagel were aboard a military helicopter in Afghanistan when a snowstorm forced them to have an emergency landing. The three Senators were stuck up in the mountains for a while until American troops could get them out of there by land and back on their journey. I bet these three had some serious pucker factor.

Kerry, who said that people who did not get an education ended up in Iraq, thanked the troops for helping the hapless Senators out of their tough situation. It is probably a good thing that a bunch of those uneducated troops were there or these three Senators might have been featured on You Tube having their heads hacked off by some Muslim who would be defended by CAIR.

What were these three doing over there anyway? Shouldn’t they be back here working? What are we paying all these people for anyway? It is bad enough we have three Senators getting paid a salary by the taxpayers to miss votes while they run around campaigning for the presidency but now these whack jobs are in Afghanistan when they are supposed to be on a “district work period” (Congress speak meaning 13 days off around a one day Federal Holiday).

Kerry might not think the troops are all that bright but they were smart enough to get him out of there and they were professional enough to do it with no regard to his comments. If they had been less than professional they would have left these three to be taken off our hands by the very people Kerry and his liberal colleagues want us to make nice with.

Maybe next time we can pay the pilot NOT to land before letting them out…

What Happens When You Cross the Clintons

John Kerry’s sister was mugged in New York, the home of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (it figures she would be from a place where criminals run around), and her purse was stolen. Was this a random criminal act or was it a message to the Kerry clan? It would be easy to say it was random but she had never been mugged there before and did not get mugged there until John effin Kerry (a guy many Demos supported but now call a loser) endorsed B. Hussein Obama. Coincidence?

There is a long list of people associated with the Clintons who have died under mysterious circumstances. I suppose that one could look at any well known person and find a bunch of deaths that occurred around him and they would all be coincidence. It is quite amazing that Clinton has had so many die before they were to testify or before they were to release information. What is also amazing is the manner in which some of these folks died.

I have also never seen an autopsy report indicate that gunshots to the back of the head were self inflicted and the death was a suicide but the Clintons were associated with quite a few who died that way (what are the odds). The death of Vince Foster left behind enough irregularities to raise questions but they were never adequately addressed. I believe if Vince Foster actually had a gun that day he would still be alive.

The Clintonista crime family has long arms that reach from the drug deal airports in Arkansas to the rest stops along the roads to DC. Anyone who crosses them or exposes them or even threatens to is asking for trouble. They don’t like people to be against them and they will do what it takes to stop problems. If I just disappear from the blogosphere, they got me (but not without one hell of a fight).

John Kerry and Ted Kennedy (and soon Al Gore) had better look out. They endorsed Hillary’s opponent and though she plays it off, she is probably trying to figure out how to get even. Mugging a sister might just be the beginning…

These guys had better not travel together and if they do, Ted better not drive.

Hillary said that when she was little she wanted to be an astronaut. I figure that is a bunch of crap she said to appear more human but her mother confirmed it (as if that is a reliable source). I just wish they had let her be an astronaut and had put her on the crew of STS-51-L.

Hillary is Satan.

Hillary Rodham, Arrogant Con Woman

I have written on a number of occasions about Hillary Clinton and her insatiable appetite for power. She has lusted for power from the early days of her husband’s political career and to this day she thinks of nothing else. Of course she tells people lots of things and she verbalizes all the things that people want to hear but her goal is to get more power. Hillary Clinton will say whatever she thinks needs to be said and she will do whatever she thinks needs to be done in order to get elected. Hillary Rodham is much like politicians of a century ago who, unencumbered by the electronic age, said what people wanted to hear and often delivering different versions or opposite opinions depending upon where they were. They could always attribute any reporting of it as a misquote. It worked well in a time when people in differing states often knew little about what was going on across the country.

The age of instant communication changed all that because claims that would have passed unnoticed years ago are scrutinized and compared to other things that candidates said. This is also true for the legacy media. Dam Rather would have gotten away with his biased reporting a few decades ago. Instead, he ran into a wall of people who could instantly debunk his efforts.

Hillary continues to be a politician who will say whatever is needed regardless of what her position was at any other time. Either she has not fully grasped the power of the electronic age or she is so arrogant that she believes that she can say what she wants and get away with it. I am banking on the latter. She, and her husband for that matter, has gotten away with so much that she believes that nothing she says or does has consequences. In the event she is caught in a problem there is always the Vast Right Wing conspiracy upon which to place the blame. It looks to me like Hillary Rodham starts each day as if no one had ever heard anything she has said. She starts as if whatever she says will be fresh and accepted without question. Last night’s debate was yet another shining example.

During the debate, Tim Russert asked if it would be OK to torture a terrorist if there was an imminent threat to Americans (they always use the nuclear bomb is about to go off and this guys knows where it is). Rodham contradicted the opinion of her husband by saying that this cannot be done under any circumstances; “It cannot be American policy, period.” That is pretty clear. We cannot, according to her, torture the guy who knows where the bomb that is about to explode is located. She even indicated that she would have to talk to Bill about it, since his opinion differs (and therefore must be wrong).

She received applause for her answer and true to form there was no follow up to challenge her on her change of heart. You see, not very long ago Hillary Rodham said that it would be OK to torture under that circumstance.

Last October, Clinton told the Daily News: “If we’re going to be preparing for the kind of improbable but possible eventuality, then it has to be done within the rule of law.”

She said then the “ticking time bomb” scenario represents a narrow exception to her opposition to torture as morally wrong, ineffective and dangerous to American soldiers.

“In the event we were ever confronted with having to interrogate a detainee with knowledge of an imminent threat to millions of Americans, then the decision to depart from standard international practices must be made by the President, and the President must be held accountable,” she said. NY Daily News

In a year’s time (and before she announced her candidacy) Hillary Rodham went from the we need to do it tough girl to the absolutely not panderer. Last October, she was preparing for her reelection to the Senate which was really just a prelude to her run for the White House. I indicated that she had those plans for a long time even though she denied such silly things. When she needed to begin convincing Americans that she can hold the office (and before an election) she was tough and would do anything to save American lives. Last night she was before a national audience and only a portion of that audience can vote for her. Hillary made sure she said what needed to be said to the liberals who will be voting in the primary. Should she succeed in winning that nomination she will be tougher on these things and, no doubt, take a number of positions. She will take whatever position she thinks will make the most people vote for her.

She voted for the war and her talk at the time was how she could support the President and how Hussein had WMD and had to go. When the going in Iraq got tough, Hillary was lied to about the WMD and George Bush messed up the war. He got us into it and it will be up to super Hill to get us out. She would not take Bill’s last name when she lived in Arkansas but when she found out that the conservative base down there did not appreciate women who did that, she miraculously changed her last name. I guess they figured if she was too ashamed of him to have his name he was not worth their vote. She traded her principle for votes. Rodham stated that if Bush would not bring the troops home she would do it when she was elected. Last night she (and most of the others) could not commit to a time when the troops would be brought home. They might be there past the next president’s watch. There are many, many examples of Hillary Rodham saying one thing one place and another thing at a different place.

Hillary Rodham is Satan in the flesh and she will say whatever it takes to get elected and then she will run this country in to the ground (and blame it on George Bush). Hillary has begun to act more like Kerry with the Flip-Flops. Though I would have thought she would have learned from his problems, it is obvious that her arrogance allows her to do what she wants and to believe Americans are stupid enough to fall for her con game.

The problem is, about half of them are…
