Syria, President Obama, and now The French – Contrast Leadership 1986….. [April 14th 1986 To Be Precise]


In 1986 Libyan diplomats, acting at the specific instruction of Libyan leader Qaddafi, sent a bomb expert, Yasser Chraidi, from Tripoli to East Berlin.   Chraidi was a member of The Libyan People’s Bureau (LPB).   Driving a Volkswagen Golf bearing East German diplomatic license plates, Chraidi then left East Berlin and traveled through Checkpoint Charlie into West Berlin.
He constructed and hid his device in an apartment belonging to a Palestinian student.   On April 5th 1986 the bomb was delivered to an apartment beloging to Ali Chaana.   His wife, Verena Chaana, and her sister Andrea, took the bomb to Friedenau, a district in West Berlin, where they walked in to “La Belle”, a popular Black hip-hop style nightclub.    It was shortly after 1:00am and the place was packed.

iOTW's BigFurHat Hits The French Fried Nail….

About McDonald’s, $15/hour wages and much more, BigFur shares:

Nothing is a distraction. It’s all part of being fundamentally  transformed. The punches are being thrown in a windmill fashion, and some may  hurt more than others, but it’s the same assault.

I don’t buy the notion that any single issue that burns our ass hairs is a  distraction. That’s actually an insulting elitist charge. It implies that  “you don’t know what’s really going on but I do.”

The people who read  political blogs know what’s going on. The people who don’t don’t care and/or  are Obama voters. Our job is to get them to care.

The “one big picture”  story that the “clued in people know what’s what” posted over, and over, and over  again, is fruitless.

You capture the hearts and minds of people over time when you show them lots  of examples of our destructive march leftward. You never know what’s going to  resonate with the otherwise disinterested. It might be a story about how PETA  is actually more cruel to animals than they let on.

Melodrama Is Not A Substitute For Strategy

Melodrama –  A presentation in any form, such as a play, film,  television program or speech, characterized by exaggerated emotions, stereotypical characters, and interpersonal emotional conflicts which replace logic, forethought and careful deliberation.


Want to really know how bad it is?   And by “bad” I mean how far over their heads the current lineup of appointed Obama international crisis/conflict members are.   Check out this Q & A From Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel (more…)

Pass The Cheetos….

When ever you want to know what direction the left-wing limo liberals want the Decepticons to take, all you need to do is watch Joe Scarborough.   That’s what makes his recent pontifications about his hurt fee fees so funny.

(Via Mediaite)  On Friday’s Morning Joe, the hosts and guests of the program argued over the direction the Republican Party needs to take in order to become a viable national party again. The conversation veered from what important traits a GOP presidential candidate should have to whether Joe Scarborough himself embodied those traits. Democratic strategist James Carville argued that Scarborough was too moderate for his party, but Scarborough disagreed. He said that a few “Cheeto crunchers on blogs” dislike him, but he more often hears Republicans praise him and “thank God” for his commentary. (more…)

He's Going To Strike Syria Alone – POTUS Moves More Ships, The Media Carries More Water, The Admin Advocates Have Points Cued….

Having watched a media cycle it’s obvious.   President Obama is going to strike Syria;  Alone.
obama-appeasement-foreign-policy-for-dummiesImagine if George W Bush refused to consult congress, garner congressional (ie. the peoples’) support, proceeded without U.N. mandate, defied the U.N. Security Council, ignored the entire international community and also failed to secure any allied backing prior to attacking another nation.
Think about it?
Seriously.   Given the history of the U.S. media and military conflict – Think about it?
Our ally, “The” #1 Ally, America’s strongest EVER -in the history of EVER- ally, Great Britain says: “meh, nah, you’re on your own with this one mate“…   ENGLAND?  Bloody Hell?…. we can’t even get them?
This Presidential hypocrisy is larger than all other familiar, and frequent, hypocrisies yet from this leftist administration; and that is saying a lot – because there have been a bunch of them.   This one however, is so blazingly incredulous, the light from where incredulous hides would not reach this example for a lifetime.
