Swine Flu & Your Intelligent Government

Vice President of the United States of America, Joseph Biden, said this regarding swine flu:

I would tell members of my family — and I have — I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now,” Biden said on NBC’s “Today” show.

“It’s not that it’s going to Mexico. It’s [that] you’re in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft. That’s me.

“So, from my perspective, what it relates to is mitigation. If you’re out in the middle of a field when someone sneezes, that’s one thing. If you’re in a closed aircraft or closed container or closed car or closed classroom, it’s a different thing.”

Mr Biden apparently speaks from the heart and considers his family as the benchmark by which decisions should be made.

On the other hand, however, regarding Janet Napolitano’s Homeland Security and ICE agents:

. . . a different administration official said earlier that agents at the U.S. border and at airports have been told not to wear surgical masks until they are needed.

The official said the “science indicates” no need for the masks at this time.

And now it appears Mr Obama’s Mexico City team (from his recent visit) is infected as well? Would you not bet your ass Mr Obama received a preventive injection (and others) of Tamiflu?

So which is it? Either the sky is falling or it is not. Perhaps Mr Biden knows something he’s not coming directly out and saying — intimating that the American public at large should heed his words?

And then, once the words came out of his mouth, the Obama Administration flacks instituted immediate BDC (Biden Damage Control) and began parsing the shit out of his statements.

Yes, we’re giving masks to our employees? No, we’re not, we don’t want to look oppressive and reactionary?

I swear to Christ, you can’t write material like this. If it weren’t so sad, I’d say the handling of this issue resembles a classic episode of an Our Gang comedy.

Thanks to TF for the cartoon!

Justice David Souter Retiring:

Justice David Souter. He’s retiring. At the end of this term.

Next up to bat:

Ruth Bader-Ginsburg.

I’ll refresh my past rants for those who decided to vote either against McCain or for a write-in candidate:

So now we have Mr Obama. And his replacements will be to the left of the Black Guerrila Family.

You thought no one could be worse than Carter or Bush Jr?

Then you were surprised?

Mr Obama will get to make two, three and perhaps even four selections for SCOTUS.

And as I’ve written time and again: how do you control this nation? You control SCOTUS and education.

The pigeons are coming home to roost, shit and all.

BETRAYAL: A GREAT WAY TO KILL AMERICANS

Mr Obama and the DEM/MSM, working hand-in-glove, are beginning to make good on their promise to provide names, photographs and details about my country’s tactics in a time of war.
ABC News just revealed the names, business and details involved in enhanced interrogations. I won’t name the names here nor provide the details. You can read it all yourself if you wish. Simply click on the link.
The article does its best to include quotes from the ACLU, and also includes such wondrous sentences as “Click here to see _____ refusing to talk to ABC News.”
I’m sure, now that this is out, the rest of the DEM/MSM will be pissing and shitting all over themselves like puerile little puppies in excitation to reveal more and deeper secrets — to see who can “outdo” whom.
A sample of the betrayal involved includes the quote that “Both ___ and ___ were previously involved in the U.S. military program to train pilots how to survive behind enemy lines and resist brutal tactics if captured.”
Which tells me one primary thing: the United States learned its techniques at the real-world hands of those who had applied the same techniques against Americans first.
From the article: “Abu Zubaydah was water boarded at least 83 times and Khalid Sheikh Mohamed at least 183 times.”
Outstanding! Except I personally wouldn’t have stopped there. I’d have further considered a very nice brass torch neck screwed into a propane bottle. With a large bowl of matches nearby.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear readers, you are on the cusp of seeing a fresh slaughter of Americans.
Because if Islamists rebelled when poor portraits or cartoons were published in foreign newspapers, if Islamists didn’t care for the photos released surrounding Abu Ghraib, then logic might dictate they won’t care for these newest adumbrations. And if there is a concerted and renewed effort to target Americans behind these media revelations, cannot we draw some conclusions? That more Americans will die?
And what are these American lives worth? Because they are not immediate and in our face, I submit that those soldiers who die on foreign soil don’t “count” as much — and they are more readily ignored and cast aside by the DEM/MSM. Because, after all, Demorats don’t know or relate to any Americans whose philosophy includes standing up for this country; oh no, they’re too busy with their elitist dinner parties and university awards.
You and I both know it won’t end there; these tactics will only engender concerted efforts by Islamists to not only kill Americans about the world but, more pointedly, and with more determination, on our own sovereign soil.
And I will lay the blame solely at the feet of an ignorant, naive, callow, agendist president who is allowing philosophy to blind him to both reality and history.
Oh, Mr Obama. You have absolutely no idea what you are doing.
