Cheeky Disclaimer!  Cheeky Monkey knows absolute diddly squat about cars.   So, not long ago, prezbo and crew come up with their Cash for Clunkers program.  What a cluster fark of an uptopian, envirowacko, raging piece of a search for a concept. Any concept will do, to get the "message" out to the dummies who voted for "change" and will think they are getting "free cars".  Who in his right mind could buy into this propoganda?   It is an absolute abomination of the highest order and an unmittigated waste of valuable resources, many American cars and our unique American car culture.  For what purpose?  Three Billion additional dam-Dollars were allocated for cash for clunkers!  Yet, car dealers are still waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for their government checkerooneys  and they "hope"  the checks eventually clear if only for their abject loyality and extreme naivete of buying into the hype of pushing cash for clunkers onto the unwashed masses of  our ignoble electorate.  Whoever came up with the cheezy term, Cash for Clunkers amway, uh, anyway?  Think about being in the car business, agreeing to promote cash for clunkers and still waiting for that elusive government check, after all these weeks, and knowing, deep down inside, just like the majority of the American People know, that the United States Treasury is flat out busted and broke.  Soon even Fort Knox will be running  out of that black ink and hyper-inflation will be running in ....  

Nostalgia.  Cheeky Monkey went to school with a guy in the 60s who drove an old Hudson.  If he still has the car today, he surely would  not be willing to clunk it!  There is a bond between men and their first cars!  A man can describe each and every car he has ever owned  in gentle and loving detail with fond memories, right down to the floormats.  Cheeky Monkey was also friends with a guy who had a 1930-something car with suicide doors and she even got to ride in it!  Whitewalls!  What a vision when those doors opened like a hallway kind of thing and we all rolled out!   Many other friends drove what can be called the Clunkers of  those days  Plymouths, Buicks and Dodges, many complete with push button drives.  We were all just happy to have friends who had wheels, let alone the permission, to get in the cars and cruise!   Station wagons, the godfathers of the SUVs.   One kid drove a Bonneville (Pontiac?)  very plush and as long as a city block!  You had to be there to appreciate it.  Driving the Loop.  Round and round and round.  There was also the classic, Chevy Belair.   Four on the floor, 8 track tapedecks and mag and honeycomb wheels. Impala, such a beautiful vehicle!  Sleek! VW vans were also very popular.  Bumper sticker:  "If this van is rocking, don`t bother knocking"!  But yet, guys who drove those Ramblers  and Studebakers were to be avoided.    How shallow we were then.  As Billy Holliday sang, "Don`t Explain".  Time marched on and the Mustang, Oldsmobile 442, Pontiac GTO and the Car of Cars, the Corvette, were what  men and women wanted to drive! 

What absolute insanity has enveloped the presumed, educated populace to permit this blatant and senseless destruction of a classic Corvette, let alone the thousands of other viable vehicles, in order to buy into this cash for clunker fool-tool?  Too many American people have worked their entire lives, some have never had an opportunity to sit in,  let alone drive a Corvette, and would NEVER sacrifice such a beautiful automobile, much less their family Suburban they bought and paid for with no assistance from any car czar!  Whatever  possessed the owner of this Corvette to denigrate and destroy a classic car in order to promote a horrendous agenda of cash for clunkers?  Another  very blunt question to ask  could be:  Why didn`t he go down with his Vette, into  that dismal car crusher, with those huge, gnashing jaws, strapped in the driver`s seat,  Evian water and carrot stick in hand, confident in the knowledge  the amabO administration is not only all  for death panels for people,  prezbo`s really into end of  the road car counseling, too?

"Hope" the link works.  How could this happen in the United States of America to an innocent Corvette?  If this can happen to a classic car, what can  happen to you and me?   

" .... We will bury you!"

When prezboy visited a mosque in Cairo, he reverently removed his shoes.  However, he was recently photographed in the Oval Office with his shoes on top of the Resolute desk, while talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and trying to look "chill".  Built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute, the desk was presented to President Rutherford Hayes by Queen Victoria in 1880, and is a priceless and historic antique.  Most of the feigned outrage in the amabOmedia was that the soles of his shoes were showing in the photograph which could have been construed as an "insult" to Netanyahu and not that his shoes were on the desk in the first place!  As we are all aware, showing the sole of a shoe is a most contemptuous insult to Islamofachistjidhadisscumsuckingterroristragheads!  No doubt, most of us consider prezboy`s shoes on top of that historic desk as a most contemptuous insult to the American People!  How dare he? 

The biggest buzz in the amabOmedia last week was when he killed a fly with his bare hands during an interview.  He sure got that sucka!  PETA was outrageously outraged as usual at his unabashed cruelty to the disease ridden, annoying fly.  PETA makes Code Pink almost seem focused.  flmo is looking for an appropriate frame for the dead fly in order to sell it on eBay to fund their next date night.  Just keep flmo away from the wood of the Resolute desk! 

Last Friday, prez did a Father`s Day weekend kickoff and BBQ with Chef Bobbie Flay and athletes, Dywane Wade and Etan Thomas among other notables.  A professional skateboarder, Tony Hawk received permission to skateboard through the marble hallways of  the Grand Foyer of the White House and the Old Executive Office Building. Here (scroll down).  He even twittered about it. Here  Believe it or not, this guy is 41 years old.  Blatant,open disrepect for the historic home of our former Presidents, condoned by the current prezboy! 

Iran is on the verge of Revolution.  They are fighting in the streets and people have been killed.  Our military will be leaving Iraq by the end of June.  The country is not yet stable and violence is on an upswing there and in Afghanistan.  North Korea is planning its own fireworks display by launching a missile toward Hawaii on the Fourth of July.  The US Navy is tailing a North Korean ship loaded with suspicious cargo.  NK has announced any interference with the ship will be an act of war.  Two thugs were caught with a suitcase full of counterfeit bonds with a "worth" of almost $150 billion US.  China is selling off US treasury bonds and the US treasury is now buying back our own debt and continues to print money at ramming speed with no conscience.  Unemployment is at record highs with California at almost 12 percent.  Three Inspectors General have been fired by the administration for doing their jobs.  Taxes are about to be raised on everything that moves and some things that don`t.  prezboy wants Universal healthcare now and his SCOTUS nominee confirmed by the summer recess.  The House and Senate apologized for slavery and reparations will soon be coming.  prezboy has all this and more on the plate he "inherited" from George W. Bush.  And he won`t let us forget it.

Still he had time to take his little girls for a photo op at an iced custard shop this weekend.  The eyes of the world are upon him. We cannot really fault prezboy for that although there must be a freezer full of excellent ice cream available in the White House.   They arrived in a motorcade of about 15 vehicles.  prezboy also had a golf tee time on Father`s Day.  Nothing seems to ruffle his feathers except Fox News.  Yep, he is living large in the White House, on our money with all the perks of the office and an enraptured amabOmedia.  He is entitled to go down in the annals of history as the most incompetent, unqualified, dishonest and feckless community organizer of our great nation.  The question is, will a paint brush, fire hose and blow torch be enough to repair the damage of his vainglorious reign?     

No wonder everyone wants to live in the United States of America in this enlightened era of hopeychangey.  It is truly the land of opportunity.  Especially for terrorists, aka bad boys wearing suicide vests.  Miranda Rights are now being given to those captured on the field of battle by our brave men in uniform instead of that very well placed bullet to the brain.   Somewhere out there is a blurb of the prez saying that would never happen, (Miranda Rights for terrorists, not the well deserved bullet to the brain.)  Try Here. 

The prez signed an Executive Order on January 22, 2009, in an elaborate ceremony, which would in effect close Guantanamo Bay by January 22, 2010.  Unfortunately, in his high euphoric state of being prez of the amabOnative universe which the rest of us are forced to also reside in, prez closed Gitmo with absolutely NO coherent plan of where to ensconse those twisted, tormented soils, uh, soles, oops, souls.  Hey, they are all blood thirsty, terror mongers who would kill any of us in a amabOsecond.

The MSM cannot be bothered to cover the embarrassing and down-right degrading begging of the prez to our used-to-be.very-good European allies to coerce them to accept some of these cold blooded killers into their own countries.  After all his speeches, his reaching out, his historic and histrionic diatrabes of apologizing for the United States for every trangression known to man since Betsy Ross  made our Flag, not one country agreed to take any terrorist.

How dare they say NO to pbho, he is like a gawd.  Undeterred and burdened with the immense pressures  to pander to his anti-Bush, anti-war, leftist/progressive base, under cover of darkness, four of the Chinese Uighers were ceremoniously delivered onto the white and shifting sands of Bermuda.  Were they also given their American Express cards and toothbrushes, too?  Some shorts and sunscreen?  Don`t leave Gitmo without them!  But guess what?  Nobody in the pbho admin thought to ask the Brits for el permiso!  Could this be illegal immigration/deportation of terrorism?  The Brits are not amused.  What is that word again, Diplomacy?  Is an appearance before the august UN Security Council in store for the United States of America?  What a coups that would be for terrorists everywhere!

The rest of the Uighers?  Well, Hell!  Ever hear of that small, tropical island, Palau?  Located to the east of the Phillipines, they have agreed to accept the rest of the boogers, uh, Uighers, for a grand total of $200 million dollars!!!  Works out to be about $10,000 per capita per island inhabitant.  A small price.  And it is another exotic island getaway!  Where is that money coming from?   That would be from you and me!     From the land of the newly appointed 100 plus economic czars or so who will soon control what we eat, breathe, drive, and watch on TV, among all the other intrusions!  Who would have thought that so soon after September 11, the very terrorists who would kill us could be living in tropical paradise, paid for on the backs of US taxpayers?  Maybe that is why prez is just "running two wars" and not fighting with all his might to win them valiantly and with honor for the country who elected him to be Commander in Chief.  

Almost forgot!  Just another, pesky little fly in this ointment  The Chinese government has demanded the return of all the Uighers to Chinas`s shores.  Oooops!  The Chinese own the US Treasury.  Yep, they do.  Smooth moves all around for hopenchange.  No doubt there is much more to come.  God help us all.

Hugh Hefner is 83 years old and still "dates" women young enough to be his great granddaughters.  These little ladies are all of age and are responsible for whatever it is they do "do".  The progressives look on Hef`s action as the paragon of wanton perversions.  He is the Methuselah of hedonism (though he may soon be usurped by the prez -- if not in the carnal sense, the material one.  However, Hef earned his own fortune). The Hef has been infamous over these long years, wearing pajamas 24 hours a day and throwing decadent parties attended by so many boobs and broads.  However, the glory days and legacy of his heralded magazine, "Playboy" have been tainted forever.  Thanks to the internet, an example of the most extreme hatred of all things Conservative, a most contemptible example of mysogyny have been exposed.      

The story has received scant notice in the lamestream media.  Surprise, surprise.  Guy Cimbalo of Playboy AOL posted the most heinous, despicable, abhorrent essay of rape fantasies against noted Conservative women, entitled, "So Right, It`s Wrong".  These women whom he so viciously and violently demonized in the vilest of terms are Michelle Bachmann, Megyn Kelly, Michelle Malkin, Mary Katherine Ham, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Amanda Carpenter, Dana Perino, Laura Ingraham, Pamela Geller and Peggy Noonan.  How Governor Sarah Palin missed his list is anyone`s guess.  No doubt, Guy "thought" Eminem`s rap on "Nailin Palin" could not be topped.  Ann Coulter was also left off because nobody messes with the Human Uzi.  Shortly after its publication, the posting was removed and a weak attempt at an apology was posted.  So, we are all supposed to be appeased and thankful.

Surprisingly silent are the grating, screeeeeeeeeching, wailing voices of NOW!  Who runs this hack organization and what does it stand for?  Protecting women?  NOW stands for protecting abortion!  Women can be pro-choice, until they choose Life!  There is only one reason that libs/progressives detest Conservative women, that being the majority of us are Pro Life!  A reporter, Bonnie Erbe of US News & World Report made an attempt to portray disgust about this article which defiled these women.  All of the women except Michelle Malkin, and  for some obscure reason, she intimated Michelle deserved it the most!

Naturally, as Conservatives, we shake our heads and once again turn the other cheek.  This hatred toward accomplished women who have families and successful careers is beyond the pale.  None of the women targeted by this "Guy," has ever exhibited any of the extreme hatred to call upon the sickest and most violent fantasies of a very perverted, rotting soul.  Guy, best run for cover.  Ann Coulter, the Human Uzi, could be gunning for ya!  She has the blazing vocabulary to leave you in shreds!

An understated understatement uttered recently by the prez  who has so arrogantly brought down Capitalism by his very own actions and words. He is certainly proud of it!  Barack Hussein Obama:  the man, the messy-ah, the he who has won all of the toys.  The cursory inventory of his spoils so far includes:  AIG, Chrysler/Fix-It-Again-Tony, GM, and soon to be for real, perching on the liberal horizon, Citigroup, and the up-and-coming feature, nightmare of all nightmares, universal health care.   A very loose inventory of the other executive perks are:  The White House, or as flmo prefers to call it, "the peoples house"  (except for the other day when those pesky bus loads of 100 kindergardners arrived late!  First Mom, they only wanted to see BO, the dog, not the man, and also, the $20,000 US swing set!).  To continue, prez has access to Camp David, Air Force 1, Marine 1, the fleet of Beasts and 24-hour Secret Service Protection, live-in chefs, live-in-help, live-in babysitters (oh, pardon, that`s his MIL which is strictly family biznez) and the ever fawning, always swooning media.  Leave anything out?  Oh, the carte blanche to travel for date night to New York for a quiet dinner and a Broadway show, the bulk paid for on the back of the US taxpayers.  Now that date was historic!  prez spends money more like a player who just has won the busiest corner in  the `hood or is it, hizzy, and his only job is to collect the vig. He is, was and always will be a community organizer.    

Putting the above into context Cheeky Monkey has since surmised the administration of Barack Hussein Obama embodies all the aspects of the Seven Deadly Sins! 
 
  -- His never ending Lust for power and control of the populace, with the helping hand of his adoring media
  -- His Greed to take over the banks/auto industry/insurance companies/universal health care/energy/internet and the ultimate control of the rest of the aspects of our lives.
  -- His Gluttony to spend Trillions of dollars the nation does not have, to print the money to fund his own lifestyle and maintain a facade of saying the country can provide for those who have not when the country cannot.  Even China laughs at this hypocrasy and China owns our debt and they will collect.
  -- The Sloth of his weakness to continue to apologize for America, and for bowing to the Saudi King.  His next "historic" speech is to appease the Islamic nations in Cairo.  He will also hold hands in Normandy with Sarkozy.  Queen Elizabeth II will not be in attendance because Her Majesty was not invited, on this 65th Anniversary of D-Day! 
  -- The Wrath:  His oh-so-simple philosophy of playing the race card at every opportunity and his mantra of spreading the wealth by taking from the people who earned every cent to spread it to those who have neither the brain-power or the gift of discernable speech  to hold a job if anyone would hire them.
  -- His Envy:  His insatiable need to be popular, to be beyond reproach and to never be doubted nor questionned.
 -- His Pride:  He has mandated the people do as he says but not as he does.    He won!  He can tell corporations not to go to Las Vegas but he can and did!

"Hope" is an expensive commodity but the prez was able to sell it and now the nation is stuck with it.   Thankfully, not all of us are willing to eat it!  While the more "enlightened" are still feasting on  "change", the thinking and doing among us are working hard to break these CHAINS! 

Once upon a time, there was a word that had always been used to describe the demeanor of the Commander in Chief of the United States of America.  That word was Presidential.  Decorum, honor, calm under pressure and the distinction to soothe the troubled masses, all citizenry yearning to be free, who are earning livings, providing for their families, keeping their heads above water and paying their own way.  A leader for ALL the people.  In not much time, the American Way of Life has for all practical purposes disappeared from the landscape. 

How great that so soon after 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, a man named Barack Hussein Obama could be elected present!  No more racial guilt!  Fat Chance.  No. 44 may possess all the coolness, hipness and awesomeness of a media created rock star, but to many of us, his incompetence overshadows whatever dingy light his lop-sided halo casts on his jutting glass jaw and that annoying, arrogant lift of his chin. 

prezbo mesmerized oh-so-many people into believing he was a uniter and would bring the country, the world together in harmony.   He lied!  The country is very dividied and agitated, more than ever before.  He has done nothing to reach out to the right, even though he is supposed to represent ALL of the people.  He swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.  On obamaguration day, he choked the oath without his TOTUS close by and had to take it again the next day.  With cue cards, no doubt.  The MSM willingly put the flub on Chief Justice Roberts.  prezbo dissed the National Day of Prayer, an American tradition since 1952, but he was in full "I`m So Cool" mode two days later for the WHCD, snidely blaming Bush for his mandatory presence there, too.  It should  also be noted again he enjoyed all the adulation for him and the slams on ex President Bush in particular, and other Conservatives in general.  
    
The United States of America is flat out broke.  prezbo finally admitted it in an interview on CSPAN, this Memorial Day Weekend.  (As an aside, was it just me, who does his makeup?  Cakey, and what was with the eye shadow?)  The country has to try to continue borrowing money to finance the deficit but no one in his right economic mind wants to lend to any nation which is in hock for over ELEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS!   About to lose that AAA rating to boot .... Meanwhile, tax revenues are down so he wants to raise the taxes!  Yes!  Barack Hussein Obama is about to announce a massive tax increase on corporations and estates to continue to fund his giveaway programs.  You know, his spreading the wealth around to the 40 percent or more who pay no taxes, just to be fair. This is before the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010!  Taxes on employers and employees who receive company sponsered health insurance to pay for those who don`t work and, therefore, don`t have health insurance.  Increased taxes on daddy`s six pack and other alcohol purchases are waiting for their cue to enter Stage Left.  And how about a tax on that soda the kids drink once or twice a week?  What`s wrong with plain old water?  Well, hell!  There`s a hefty tax on that, too!  Don`t forget the energy taxes that will kick in if the cap and trade bill passes.  We could be going back into the truly dark ages.  Candles give out carbon dioxide, too, don`t they?  

pbho has been busy.  He has strongarmed and virtually destroyed the US auto industry, forcing bankruptcies, firing and hiring CEOs at whim and giving massive power and control to the UAW, and major parts of the pension funds of teachers, policemen and firemen.   He has threatened those who oppose him with vilification  by the WH press corps.   He has mandated designs for cars and emission standards that will kill the industry once and for all.  He forced banks to accept TARP money and now refuses to accept repayment so not to relinquish control.  We must never forget the bus loads of angry agitators who stormed the neighborhoods of AIG executives, frightening their neighbors, families and children., only because they had been paid bonuses which were contractually awarded to them.  Community organizing at its best  This is only the warmup for the Community Organizer in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama. 

On the plus side, Madame Speaker had a meltdown when she took on the CIA and accused them of lying.  No end of delight watching her squirm.  They may have had to up her medication.  Another light and inspiring moment for the Conservative cause has been former VP Cheney, speaking out in defense of the Bush Administration and Gitmo.  prezbo was so overwhelmed by the simple presentation of the flat facts and 90 Senators refusing to fund an alternative until he presented a concrete plan for closure, he raced out to upstage Mr. Cheney`s scheduled speech.  prezbo sorely disappointed and instead gave a rambling tutorial about how he was so overwhelmed and governing and decision making are so hard.  Vice President Cheney`s thoughtful remarks were not so much a rebuttal as a personal conversation reinforcing the difficult decisions that had to be made to calm and protect a terrified American public after the tragedies of September 11.

While prezbo was on the neverending campaign trail, and the financial markets melted down, the ever stalwart John McCain suspended his activities and returned to DC to do whatever it is Senators do when there is a crisis. (Nothing?) Candidate B Hussein O scoffed at McCain and said he could do it by phone, he could multi-task.  Well, Cheeky Monkey begs to differ there.  Last week, a bus load of 100 kindergardeners arrived a little late for a WH tour due to traffic.  They were turned away at the gate to the White House or "People`s House," as fb micHelle calls it.  No one was even available to bring BO (the dog, not the man) down for a photo op.  No cookies, no ice cream nor Koolaid for them! Back on the bus, Kiddies!  The incident has been blown off as just the beginning of so many disappointments they will experience in life.  Not to mention the major deficit they`ll be inheriting!  So what if their parents had to come up with $20 each for the trip?  prezbo had to meet the Steelers.  The football team who won the Super Bowl, all adults, all used to running late, except on game days or for flight schedules and for the most part, they all love little kids. 

Don`t have access to Rush on the radio but on his website he said it would have been an awesome experience for everyone to have the kids come in and help the Steelers pack the care packages for the troops.  Maybe next time ....

pbho has once again appeared with his trusty teleprompter (TOTUS) in tow for his fourth prime time pressnooooozer, uh, conference, since ascending to the office of being present on January 20, 2009.  Only a mere 100 days ago.  Time is truly in a bottle.  The White House pushed the message that the milestone of pbho`s first 100 days was nothing more than a "Hallmark" moment.  Cards, accolades  and softball questions to celebrate his day!  No distracting inquiries regarding the Plane Stupid photo-op flyover in Manhattan earlier this week will be permitted.  Nevertheless, he still was able to coerce, cajole and extort all major networks, except big Fox, to give him prime time coverage to what must be said, in even the most congenial, liberal circles, A REAL SNOREFEST!  The cost to these networks, during Sweeps Week, to preempt scheduled programming and covering the presser, are estimated to be in the tens of millions of US dollars.  

After flawlessly reading his brief opening statement from the TOTUS, pbho took 13 questions from all major network White House reporters except Major Garrett, of Fox News.  Must have just been a dishonest oversight.  Fox News has continually beaten CNN and MSNBC in ratings for some time now.  pbho was obviously more than a little piqued during his Town Hall in Missouri earlier the same day, when he professed Fox News doesn`t like him and then proceeded to slam the TEA Party participants, United States citizens who have the basic right of peaceful assembly and protest.  He`s looking for a serious conversation.  Yeah.  And he`s got some banks, automobile companies and health care to nationalize, too.

When asked if he believes the previous administration sanctioned torture, pbho went into a riff that torture is absolutely wrong, both morally and ethically, referred to Churchill during WWII erroniously, regarding torture by the British and said emphatically (for him), the United States will not torture!  When asked if he is ready to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) he said it is not one of his immediate priorities.  Let`s see.  The pbho Admin will not put a little water on a terrorist who would kill him and the rest of us in a heartbeat but he will eventually sign an abortion on demand bill that would kill the tiny heartbeats of the most innocent among us.  No follow-ups or analogies were drawn by any of the reporters.

Governing is different from campaigning and there is no doubt that B Hussein O has never worked so hard in his life.  He complained he has two wars "to run" and an economy in freefall, which he inherited, blah, blah, blah., with his litany of problems on his overflowing plate.  Poor boy.  One would wonder why he ever decided to become present when he had such a cushy Senate seat.  pbho appeared calm and frankly, bored.  He looked tired and should fire the makeup artist who gave him that orange hue. 

A note to the major television network executives:  Next time pbho wants a prime time presser, think Nancy Reagan and Just Say No.

There is something about Conservative women that makes me want to stand up and cheer!     

I hold a most endearing memory of our now exSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice staring down and then chewing up babababoxer (like a piece of JuicyFruit gum) during a Senate inquisition of her a few years ago.  The visuals will last me for a lifetime.  Loved it!  Condi has the "look" down.   Not only is she brilliant and has a PhD, Condi speaks fluent Russian.  No "reset" to "overcharged" for her.  She read War and Peace in the commie-pinkie lingo and as an accomplished pianist, she was invited to perform a private recital for Queen Elizabeth II.  No manhandling of Her Majesty on Condi`s watch!  That behaviour is just Not Done, at least in the civilized, learned circles.  (Who you calling a Barackabarian?  Not flmo!)   Some may say Dr. Rice is not a true Conservative.  That`s okay.  She always presented herself with dignity and poise and I miss her steadfastness and maturity in these most troubling times.  No cackles, royal maulings, personal meltdowns, bowing, groveling or begging for capital from Communist regimes to fund the national treasury on her watch.  She also knows a lot about football, too.  Let`s just say, the girl has got game! 

It has been said the apple doesn`t fall too far from the tree. In a recent interview/debate between Liz Cheney and  Naomi O`Donnell of MSNBC, there was no contest.  Liz won hands down.  Daddy Cheney must be proud and with good reason.  Their exchange brought back to mind the VP debate in the 2004 campaign when VP Cheney called the Silky Pony, "Senator Gone".  A moment of simplistic clarity.  Memories are made of this. Many Conservative blogs this weekend are heralding Ms. Cheney`s triumph over the lefty Naomi`s wailing about the "torture" arguments and rightfully so!  Not only did Liz maintain focus, she controlled the debate and "never broke a sweat".  After all, Naomi had screens to display!  Ms. Cheney`s solemn coup de grace was her statement that Americans "have been beheaded" in the War on Terror.  Ooops, the GWOT is now known as Man Caused Disasters.  There is no rejoinder for this because it is so sadly true.  What is moral authority but to protect one`s own and to go to whatever lengths to protect our homeland and society.  It is a vicious war that must be won at any cost.  Liz Cheney professed that and naive little Naomi denied it.

Who would have thought that a 22 year old beauty queen would have a pudgy, aging, raging queen spitting nails and changing his jeans on an hourly basis?  Don`t ask why!  What iz hiz name anyway?  Doez he have a "real one"?  Hiz real name, not  hiz handle!  Don`t go there!  The lovely Carrie Prejean, Miss California, had the audacity of speaking the truth when she was asked a question by the man with the faux name about traditional marriage during the finals of the Miss USA Pageant. Yes, she answered, she does believe marriage is between a man and a woman!  Horrors!  Off to the reeducation camp with you, Miss California!  Haven`t you heard about the vile Proposition 8???  Never mind that pbho, the 44th present, also believes the same thing that she does!  Unless pbho changed his mind again because he may find himself dancing and prancing on Ellen`s show soon!  (Redux!) Marriage is between a Man and a Woman!  "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve".  Ms. Prejean has since been unmercifically slandered, libeled and vilified in the press.  Some wacko in the UK Tory Party named Alan Duncan is facing a police probe after making a joke about murdering her!  Wow.  Imagine that.  A young  American woman answers a simple question in a beauty contest with her true beliefs about matrimony and gets death threats from abroad.  Brings it all home that global liberals/progressives represent nothing but hypocrasy.  As an aside, Cheeky Monkey heard a liberal commentator on a snooze show that this is the best thing that could have ever happened to Carrie.  She lost the pageant but won the publicity!  She is getting so much attention!   And yet, so much derision along with death threats!  CNN attempted to brand her as a Republican.  She didn`t bite.  No matter what her politics, Carrie Prejean stands by her basic Conservative values.  There can be no doubt that every red-blooded American male will sit back, smile at her and stand up for her right to speak her mind.  And just stand there and watch her smile that beautiful smile.  She embodies every man`s sister, niece, daughter and granddaughter.  She is the All American girl next door.  How dare the left try to destroy her!

So to wind it down, no matter what people may think about Ann Coulter, she has that certain cache carrying the moniker of the "Human Uzi".  How can you beat that?  Michelle Malkin is also constantly besmirched by the left for her success and for speaking the truth which always makes them so very uncomfortable.   Governor Sarah Palin causes libs to break out in that little sweat above their upper lips and she never fails puts their thongs in twists.  Why?  Because she`s an elected official, an executive, she makes decisions, pays the consequences and she is undeniably, Pro Life.  Governor Palin faces a barrage of ethics complaints and other insidious investigations because they want to silence her.  It all comes down to truth versus hypocrasy.  There is a very old saying:  "The Truth Hurts".  Conservatives believe in and live the Truth.  Liberals defy Truth and try to twist and change it to fit an agenda.  Thankfully, the brave voices of so many Conservative women will not be silenced.  Never!

 (Lady Thatcher has a way with words.)

Some loyal souls in what may be left of the PUMA and NOW camps could still possibly believe and harbor "hope" that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (aka Pantsuit) who has so often been on the wrong end of the stick recently, as opposed to have just been given the royal shaft, still has a chance to become the First Woman President some day.  Anyone who saw  her  hysterical reaction to the Somali pirates hostage situation would conclude her demeanor to be anything but presidential. 

Does Pantsuit or the State Department not have a clue it is on the web in perpetuity?  Unbelievable display of the lack of "smart power", grace and poise under pressure!  Uh, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and the darling of CBS, Kitty Kranky, where are you?   This woman is SoS?  (Sincere apologies to the sandwich of the same initials.)  What possessed Pantsuit to leave her cushy seat in the Senate to work for pbho anyway?  The icing on the cake so far has to be the 900 number assigned to her during the G20 Summit, which offered massage services instead of diplomacy!  We must leave it all to our vivid imaginations what her reaction must have been once she realized the "honest mistake".  Hillary-ous!  Are "they" trying to sabotage her credibility, wear her down, get her to quit?  She is made of much sterner stuff! 

Pantsuit has been around the world in less than 100 days.  She gamely supplicated herself before the Chinese, begging them to buy more US Treasury bonds, the value of which US bonds are based on China buying even more US Treasury bonds.  Pantsuit also met with her counterpart in Russia and presented him with the Little Red Plastic Button that could.  Except it couldn`t.  Endearingly inscribed with what was thought to say, "Reset", instead the word written was "Overcharged."  Cackle, cackle, chortle, chortle, exit stage left.  It`s the thought that counts, isn`t it? 

The above examples have run their course in the MSM and are just distractions for Right Wing Radical Extremists who milk these non events for all they are worth at every opportunity.  However, something far more sinister and creepy is in the works in Hillaryland.  In order to pay down Pantsuit`s massive campaign debt,  for your contribution of $5 to $2300, you could win one of these three prizes!

How I love the Brits!   The unbelievable has happened! Iain Martin of the UK Telegraph has written a most joyful critique of pbho and calls him a "bit of a bore"!  He is already exhausted from covering phbo and there is still Turkey coming up!  Never mind the mayo, please, just  hold the "change"!  In a very delightful piece,  Martin acknowledged his fatigue.  He noted the emptiness of pbho.  He cited the selfishness of pbho, always making it all about him.  Martin openly admitted he actually drank the obamaid and, in so many words, he is now looking for an antidote.  Mr. Martin is ready to send pbho back to America!  Can`t they keep him for four more years? 

Some of Martin`s musings are:  pbho`s set speeches sound the same.  Does a computer write them?  The cadence is good but nothing is said of any substance.  pbho is on his way to becoming reknown as the biggest gas bag on the pike.  All blow  and show .... This makes me happy, how about you?

I  am feeling tremendous loss and I wonder just how much lower our society and culture can go before we are all savages.  The massacre of the four Oakland policemen last weekend was horrific and inconceivable. Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40; Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43; Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35; and Officer John Hege, 41 were gunned down in the prime of their lives.  These men all had families they loved.  Every day they knew the dangers they faced as they went out to do their civic duty only to be cut down by a low life piece of living pond scum, rapist thug whose only real job was most likely playing violent video games every day and smoking crack at every opportunity.  It is very small solace that the perp was brought down to die in a hail of bullets.  "Suicide by Cop".  As unbelievable as it may seem, sixty people in Oakland gathered to have a rally and to celebrate the life of that cold blooded rapist murderer, hair on a hemmoroid who pulled the trigger and ended the lives of those very brave, young men.  Police inquiries to follow, no doubt, as it was obviously a racially motivated shooting.  SWAT sure didn`t take the time to read him his rights ....

Sunday morning, coffee, TV, checking the blogs, looking at the funnies, laughing at pbho`s teleprompter blog.  The news comes out that eight people were killed in a nursing home in North Carolina.  All of them elderly, in wheelchairs, ranging in ages from 78 to 98.  Frightened out of their minds at what they knew were their last breaths.  A nurse was also killed.  The perp was apprehended and  is in protective custody, no doubt.  Three hots and a cot.  Forty-five years old and, obviously, he has more than a few issues.  Nothing a trip behind the woodshed with a couple of real angry white men wouldn`t cure if the world were truly just. 

And now this.   In Massachusetts, a 23 year-old maniac fatally stabbed his seventeen year old sister, Samantha Revelus.  He then turned on his nine year old sister, Sarafina, who valiantly fought him off and called the police.  She lives.  When they arrived and broke down the door, he grabbed his little five year old sister, Bianca, and beheaded her in front of a police officer.  It was her birthday.  The cops shot him dead.  This family is destroyed.  Counseling can do nothing for these poor souls.  My God!   Samantha was a good student and had written a poem for a "poetry jam" at her school.  Part of her verse reads, "So what lousy wind brought you here? What values you offer? She's a woman, a queen, a goddess. Don't treat her like any other."  Could she have been writing about her brother?  We can never know.

Every day we go to work or school.  Most of the kids have activities and participate in school sports.  We go to the market, hardware store or the gas station.  We do the banking.  We talk to the neighbors and meet friends.  We have taken these freedoms of movement for granted and with no fear.  These macabre incidents are not trivial and express the rage that many in our society cannot cope with reality.  Stay vigilant and stay safe.  Easier said than done. 

When Rhett Butler was saying his final adios to Scarlett at the end of Gone With The Wind, he told her he was returning to Charleston, to find whatever was left of beauty, grace and dignity (paraphrased).  I pray with all my heart that our society can find the beauty, grace and dignity that has vanished from our culture in such a short time.  God bless and protect all of you. 

 

Not to make light of a deadly and dangerous situation, but heads are rolling on the southern border between the United States and Mexico where a vicious, bloody and possibly never-ending war is being waged   Funded by billions of dollars from the sale of illegal drugs, the Mexican narco trafficantes also have access to the most highly sophisticated, military grade weapons, such as grenades, AK47s, M16s, and night vision equipment.  They use them without conscience and with deadly consequences.  Kidnappings, extortion, torture and beheadings are commonplace and a daily occurrence. 

Some very poor people from a very class based society have found a way to make a lot of money and attain power and privlege built upon the bedrock of fear.  The corruption of Mexican polticians and policemen is notorious.  They accept bribes and then turn the other way or else they, too, will be killed.  Over 7,000 people were killed in 2008 by the narco trafficantes and 1,000 more have been cut down so far this year.  The majority of deaths have happened in the border cities of Tijuana, Nogales and, especially, Ciudad Juarez.  Most of the massacres can be attributed to rivalries between the cartels, shooting and wiping each other out, which is a very good thing.   However, many politicians, policemen, soldiers, lawyers, journalists and innocent bystanders have also been cut down in cold blood.  Presidente Felipe Calderon has vowed to defeat the cartels and has deployed over 8,000 soldiers to the border towns to take on these monsters and 45,000 Mexican troops are dispersed throughout the country. 

Mexico City has the dubious distinction of being Number 1 in the world for kidnappings.  Phoenix, Arizona is second.  These cartels have unlimited wealth and have spread their tentacles throughout the United States.  Street gangs such as the Bloods, Crips and MS13 are lured into alliances by the easy money and access to drugs and are willing participants along with the drug lords.  The voracious appetites for marijuana, cocaine, meth, and other synthetic drugs in the United States have enriched the narco trafficantes with over $39 billion US per year. 

Fears of open warfare between the cartels spilling into the United States are justified and it is only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.  For years, many have requested the presence of the National Guard along the southern border to stem the flow of illegal aliens and terrorists.  To ignore the explosive situation at the border now is to invite the chaos that will soon follow.  In a blatantly could-be-construed-as-racial-and-not-very-politically-correct statement, the coloring of those of Middle Eastern descent and of some Mexicans is very similar, except for facial hair.   The poppy fields of Afghanistan fund Al Qaeda.  They also like to decapitate people who they believe don`t conform with the religion of peace which is Islam, and Sharia law.  It is not too much of a stretch to believe the terrorists are in Mexico and the US now and would use the southern border and a raging drug war as an easy entree to the United States to perform other terrorist attacks on the nation.

Keeping this in mind, the DOJ is launching an investigation into the activities of Maricopa County Sherrif, Joe Arpaio.  Why?  Because following requests by congressional dimoRATs (Conyers and crew) and allegations by liberal activists (including ACORN) , they believe that his department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens.  Horrors!  Cheeky Monkey believes Sheriff  Joe to be a True American Hero, in the same league as Wyatt Earp and even Judge Roy Bean.  He has been out in front to protect the citizens of Arizona, the border, and to lock up illegals and eventually send them packing back to where they came from.  So what if he dresses them in pink shorts in the interim!  

Not to worry though!  pbho says a Mexican Border Security Plan is coming soon!  He is also sending Pantsuit to Mexico City, March 25-26, to meet with Calderon to show solidarity against the cartels.  More difficult decisions must be made to destroy the lethal enemy and the allure of drugs.  Legalize them?  Destroy the millions of acres of fields throughout the world where they are grown, and contribute to global climate change?  Or wage open warfare on the southern border to wipe out the scourge of the evil drug cartels?  This is a war in our time that must be won at any cost!
