Deliverance


If Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America. And we'll all be squealing like a pig...

It is helpful when those who make the headlines in People Magazine assist us with voting directions. Would you also know what Brittany & Paris think?

Who is Brittany? And I guess Paris thinks of Paris, Texas.

When men were men:

For President Truman, retreat was unthinkable. "We stay in Berlin, period," he decreed. Overriding the doubts of senior advisers, including Secretary of State George C. Marshall and General Omar Bradley, the Army Chief of Staff, Truman ordered the Armed Forces to begin supplying Berlin by air.
[..]
Yet the pressure to abandon Berlin persisted. The CIA argued that the airlift had worsened matters by "making Berlin a major test of US-Soviet strength" and affirming "direct US responsibility" for West Berlin. The airlift was bound to fail, the intelligence analysts warned. Truman didn't waver. "We'll stay in Berlin - come what may," he wrote in his diary on July 19. "I don't pass the buck, nor do I alibi out of any decision I make."

That was that, and this is now:

But not once in his Berlin speech did Obama acknowledge Truman's fortitude, or even mention his name. Nor did he mention the US Air Force, or the 31 American pilots who died during the airlift.
Indeed, Obama seemed to go out of his way not to say plainly that what saved Berlin in that dark time was America's military might.

Man, oh man, is this guy Pepe in disguise, or what?

spears.

how about making a list of people he didn't talk about and getting back to us when you're done ?

Brittany =/= Britney.

Obama did talk at length about the Berlin Airlift of 1948 -- it was a central point of his speech. But the point is that he somehow never brought himself to say who did it (the US Air force, at the direction of Truman), counteracting Stalin (a commie, you know). Instead, he implied it was all a mushy, "yes we can", let's hold hands and sing kumbaya who carried out the airlift. Typical pinko dissembling and frame of mind.

When you have something more intelligent to say, get back to us.

Brittany =/= Britney.
ah, I'll try and commit that interesting fact to memory.

Well, that settles it: he's a stalinist, then.

re: something intelligent to say

i don't dislike the idea, but this would be a new requirement at fcp and a challenge for all concerned.
For instance, are you up to discussing social programs without reducing them all to the same "nanny state" denominator? can you ban the "pinko" nebu-logism from your vocabulary? or are you instead thinking more in terms of not being held up to your own otherwise laudable suggestion ?

Tecumseh said...

I can make an effort, and have a long discussion without busing "nanny state" or "pinko" -- yes. Though I'd need some other such words -- say, socialist, liberal, leftist, etc. How can one talk about these things cogently without using appropriate words to describe the concepts? They can be serious words, or jocular constructs -- but if you ban them down the memory hole, and only talk in newspeak (which is what most liberals do), then you concede the lefty viewpoint from the get go. This is something George Orwell recognized early on, when he wrote "1984". Good man, Orwell (he was a lefty to start with, but then he woke up.) You should read his books one of these days, instead of that dog-eared copy of Das Kapital.

Pepe le Pew said...

Reread Orwell ? What for - we have warrantless surveillance, terrorists paraded on tv, friendly nations who suddenly become foes... The last 8 years have been an endless 1984 remake.

Tecumseh said...

Pepe, Pepe -- you are having a bad dream. Try single malt before going to bed, you'll sleep better.

Pepe le Pew said...

You are right. Fortunately, I am about to wake up from it.

When you awake, Pepe, not only will you lose the mermaids, you will drown.
