Two Democratic womyn have made headlines recently and no, they haven’t much been truthful or nice. Yes, I know, here comes the sound of cheeks being slapped. Shut up!

Barbara Boxer: Role Reversal?

For whatever reason, Fornicalia Senator Barbara Boxer decided it was time to unload on Condi Rice yesterday when the Secretary of State spoke in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in support of President Bush’s strategic change in Iraq with regard to the addition of troops.

According to the New York Post, Boxer barked:

“Who pays the price? I’m not going to pay a personal price,” Boxer said. “My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young.”

Then, to Rice: “You’re not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families.”

Slap. Right cross. Uppercut.

(As an aside: this is the same military staffed, according to Charlie Rangel, only by po’ black folk and other minorities with higher melanin counts — not. See this report from the Heritage Foundation.)

Here’s what happened: Barbara Boxer essentially said that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is an ineffective leader and cannot make appropriate, lawful, logical and cogent decisions regarding the war in Iraq because she has no children to sacrifice to this war.

Let’s stand back and examine this, on its face.

First: the prior Democratic administration, that of William Jefferson Clinton, he of the most ethical presidential administration in history (he said it), did not find it within himself to appoint a black Secretary Of State. Nor a black female SOS. Nor a black unmarried female who has chosen career over child-rearing.

And, am I wrong in thinking that the Democrats are the party of not only tolerance but that of diversity on all levels? How much more diverse is Condi Rice? Black? Female? Career woman?

But you see, in truth, as the Democrats have clearly revealed here, it’s not about tolerance or diversity. It’s about agenda.

Besides, as Barbara Boxer has so wonderfully explained with her insulting and ridiculous comments here, she considers Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice nothing more than Bush’s House Nigger and, as the BHN, subject to any inane blathering or series of insults she wishes to heap upon Secretary Rice, the quintessential political professional, so much so that many openly advocate her running for President in 2008.

Rice, of course, made good account of herself in response:

I guess that means I don’t have kids. Was that the purpose of that?” Rice said. “Well, at the time I just found it a bit confusing frankly. But in retrospect, gee, I thought single women had come further than that. That the only question is are you making good decisions because you have kids?”

I like to put the shoe on the other foot, so I ask: did this little act make anyone’s MSM page 1? Anywhere? Takers? Links? Proof? I thought not. The DEM (Defeatist, Elitist Media) have buried this little gem back a few pages near the produce ads for Piggly Wiggly.

But what, Boys and Girls, do you think would have happened had a GOP’er made a similar comment to a black, female, career DEMOCRAT? Or if that commenter had been, even worse, a male and (Heaven forbid!) Caucasian?

Boxer, you’re an idiot.

Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi: A Fishy Minimum Wage?

On Wednesday, January 10th, the House voted to raise the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour. That’s an issue for another post entirely. Absent that, the bill also brings, for the first time ever, a minimum wage to the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. However, it exempts American Samoa, another Pacific island territory numerous miles to the southeast, that would become the only US territory not subject to federal minimum-wage laws.

But wait: why would that be?

Could it be because Del Monte Corporation, which owns StarKist Tuna, has its global headquarters in San Francisco which — ta-da!! — is represented by Speaker Nancy Pelosi?

But wait; there’s more: one of the largest opponents of the federal minimum wage in Samoa is StarKist Tuna, which owns one of the two packing plants that together employ more than 5,000 Samoans, or nearly 75 percent of the island’s entire work force.

The Democrats were all about how theirs would be the flowering Dawn of a New Era. Again: not. And now that they’ve come into majority theirs, so ridiculously soon, is nothing more than hypocrisy abetted by the DEM.

Insults, coverups and lies from the Dems’ sterling womyn — and it’s only the first month.

There are certain things that many of us suspect regarding the denizens of New Orleans — to include the city administration as well — things that might have something, perhaps, to do with the molasses-like repair of the city itself. I really do not believe I have to be any more precise or explicit than that. I’m sure you’re reading adequately between the sentences.

So it should come as no shock to you — and clearly was no shock to me — to recently learn of the following situation in the city of New Orleans abetted by their current (but elected!) do-nothing administration. From the Associated Press:

Thousands marched on City Hall on Thursday (January 11th), seeking an end to the violence that has claimed nine lives in this struggling city since New Year’s Day.

Further, the story indicates:

Mayor Ray Nagin, the object of many marchers’ jeers and protest signs, watched from behind a podium but did not take part in the rally at the behest of organizers.

“We want to open a dialogue, but this was not the time. It would have been too big a shift from listening to the people to suddenly have a politician talking,” said Baty Landis, a Tulane University professor and music club owner who helped organize the march.

Oh fine. Enough with the punch-pulling. New Orleans is a corrupt city, in a corrupt state, run by corrupt, cerebrally-challenged officials led by Mayor Ray Nagin who is himself, on the finest of days, a complete dolt, not to mention a racist.

Nagin no more has an idea how to stop these murders than does my friend’s hamster, Wally. And sadly, no one within that city can stop the murders, should further murderers decide to continue the trend. Oh, and a little statistic for you: New Orleans had 161 homicides last year, the lowest total in 60 years. But the population was way down from its pre-Katrina total of 455,000, and is still only about 200,000. In comparion: Sacratomato City and County in Fornicalia has 1.7 million people. Last year there were a combined total of 58 homicides.

New Orleans is a morally and culturally bankrupt city, inhabited by many morally and culturally bankrupt citizens and “managed” (sorry, I absolutely could not bring myself to write the word “led”) by a morally and culturally bankrupt administration.

For Christ’s sake people, you re-elected the fool — what did you think you would get?

“What a long, strange trip it’s been.”

• 1977: I ended a tumultuous relationship with a serious girlfriend and lost my job;
• 1987: I was told my wife wanted a divorce; I got into a major accident on I-5, that made my vehicle a full 2′ less wide than when issued from the factory; I was shot at twice while on my new job;
• 1997: I had some other personal experiences that almost completely severed the relationship with my parents; I had to leave one privileged assignment for a completely demeaning assignment due to a series of political maneuvers and lies at work;
• There were many other issues I cannot mention.

Many people determine to make resolutions for the coming New Year; the New Year is now here. Question for you: what do you believe the GOP needs to do to remake itself for 2007? What should the GOP do in order to make itself credible, powerful and more aligned with its Conservative goals?

I have a few thoughts. To wit:

• We need to simply spend less;
• We need to have an enforced firm, consistent and fair ethics set;

Globally, the GOP needs to:

• Stand up
• Bark back
• Bite back

The GOP seemed, to me, to have forgotten for the past 6 years what to do with Power. They need, further, to:

• Limit government;
• Lower taxes across the board or even create a Flat Tax;
• Secure our borders absolutely;
• Push for Energy Independence, starting with ANWR;
• Defend this country from within and without.

America needs:

• Honesty and Truth in Government;
• Honesty and Truth in Bills: no riders on any bill whatsoever — clarity only.
• Honesty and Truth in Funding: when specific individual bills encumber money, they can ONLY encumber money for that specific bill; the cash cannot be diverted for any other purpose;
• Honesty and Truth in Campaigning: campaign funding limited to $100 maximum per person or corporation;

And trust me, the Democrats will not be extending hands across the aisle.

The Democrats take control of Congress this Thursday and are planning to kick Republicans under the bus from the get-go, deciding to press for new ethics rules for lawmakers (on its face, a good idea — but will ethics apply to both sides of the aisle if, in practice, at all?), a minimum wage raise (on the heels of Fornicalia’s doing precisely this, now to $7.50 from $6.75, with the City and County of San Francisco changing their minimum wage to $9.14), more cash for stem cell research and interest rate cuts on student loans.

From the Washington Post:

But instead of allowing Republicans to fully participate in deliberations, as promised after the Democratic victory in the Nov. 7 midterm elections, Democrats now say they will use House rules to prevent the opposition from offering alternative measures, assuring speedy passage of the bills and allowing their party to trumpet early victories.

This is in keeping with Pelosi saying there will be no witch-hunt committees to impeach Bush or impale him with endless investigations. Read: they will conduct endless witch-hunts and instigate endless investigations.

That was my list of GOP Resolutions for 2007.

What’s yours?

I will be away from the Blogosphere for a bit, as I take my fiance to the Fornicalia coast for a Crab Festival, a very nice hotel, a “couples massage” and some whale watching tours.

Likely it will be raining — perhaps even horizontally so — at the coast and we are well aware of that chance. However, should this occur, we have brought books and are looking forward to spending time reading together. Ever exist in a relationship wherein you’re sufficiently comfortable that just being with that person in the same room is comforting? It’s a wonderful feeling of comfort and security. If I acquire decent photos, I’ll post some when I return.

Take care, and hold the ones you love close; never miss an opportunity to tell those you love precisely that.

Ah yes, things wouldn’t be the same without our good Iranian friend, President Ahmadinnerjacket, who deigned to ring in the new year (does Islam recognize the calendar system? Something tells me I should know this) with another standard Moonbat proclamation (along the lines of the Holocaust never occurring): “I want you to know that the Iranian nation has humiliated you many times, and it will humiliate you in future.”

Ahmadinnerjacket was responding today to the United Nations’ Security Council’s unanimous resolution, last month, to ban all countries from selling materials and technology to Iran that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs.

The UN also froze the assets of 10 Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.

Any thoughts or feelings about the future of Iran/US relations in 2007?
