Counting liberals on the head of a flag pin
by JohnHuang2

If this keeps up, pretty soon Barack Hussein Obama will have to start burning American flags at rallies and shouting ‘Death to America!’ to remain a viable Democrat candidate.

The latest Fox News poll shows a sizable chunk of the Democrat Party thinks the world would be better off if the U.S. lost the war in Iraq. “Only” almost 40 percent of Democrats either want the U.S. to lose or are on the fence.

Sensing an opening, Obama bragged to a reporter in Iowa that he doesn’t wear an American flag pin on his lapel out of love for America. The sight of someone not wearing a flag pin just makes you swell up with pride and patriotism!

Come to think of it, liberals call our troops Nazis, losers, torturers, cold-blooded murderers and their commander in Iraq a traitor — this must be an outpouring of patriotism then.

Obama “explains” that he took his flag pin off after he noticed that people wearing the flag pin weren’t acting as patriotic as Obama. He points out that after 9/11 he put a flag pin on out of patriotism, then he heard people “talking about” war and deposing Saddam Hussein, so then he took his flag pin off out of patriotism. Maybe it has something to do with that middle name of his.

By Obama’s shrewed logic, if you don’t have a ‘Vote for Obama’ button pinned to your chest, you support Obama! Or if you don’t wear a Red Ribbon, you’re trying to promote AIDS awareness.

“I decided I won’t wear that (flag) pin on my chest,” said patriotic Obama. “Instead, I’m going to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great.” We’ll see if Obama ditches his wedding ring because ‘I’m going to tell Michelle what I believe will make her a great wife.’

Liberals complain hysterically that Republicans are now attacking Obama’s patriotism, which is like being accused of attacking the Breck Girl’s manhood. According to Obama, “true patriotism” consists of “speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security” — which, if you’re Obama, means demanding Habeas Corpus for al-Qaeda, sobbing about “warrantless wiretaps”, sobbing that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed got roughed-up, nagging endlessly about Guantanamo, whining about Blackwater, whining about Iraq, calling Gen. Petraeus a traitor then spending all last week attacking a radio talk show host.

No sooner had the New York Times “reported” on “secret memos” ‘proving’ Bush mistreats those little darlings held at Guantanamo and elsewhere than Obama released a statement calling the memos he hadn’t read an “outrageous betrayal”.

In response to Bush’s unsavory practice of preventing terrorist attacks, liberals scream that Bush is running an Auschwitz-Birkenau down in Guantanamo, yet, for all the torturing Bush’s doing, you wouldn’t know it from your run-of-the-mill Gitmo jailbird who typically puts on 13 pounds while being “tortured” and “starved” to death there. The typical Gitmo menu STILL consists of culturally sensitive fresh fruit, honey-glazed chicken, rice pilaf, steamed peas and mushrooms, ginger chicken breast and lemon-baked fish — all of it prepared by top-notch Navy cooks who run the death camp’s kitchens.

Still not enough for hysterical libbies who yell “War criminal!” Every time some al-Qaeda or Taliban chap gets captured on the battlefield, the brutal war criminal goes for a legal opinion. Needle under the fingernail, tooth extractions, kneecapping, bone-breaking, boiling, flaying, beatings — none of this stuff is allowed under The Barbaric Bush “Torture Regime”. Bush is just not that kind of “war criminal”.

Lenin and Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot earned honored places in the pantheon of left-wing heroes, but dunk Mohammed in water and libbies are ready to try Bush at the Hague.

For six long years it’s been patiently explained to Hillary, Swimsuit, the Breck Girl et al that al-Qaeda is not a signatory to the Geneva Conventions. That “al-Qaeda” is not Arabic for “Afghanistan.” That inmates at Guantanamo are not prisoners of war. But it never sinks in, even when using crayons and lots of pictures. Reports indicate al-Qaeda blows up schools, hospitals, markets, restaurants, airports, churches, synagogues, mosques, gay bars, flies planes into buildings, takes hostages, removes heads from hostages, cranks out snuff videos, etc. Still, out of patriotism, liberals insist on calling them “militants”, not terrorists, and that the Geneva Conventions apply. Al-Qaeda honcho and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed ‘militated’ Daniel Pearl by gripping him by the hair, then hacking his head off, yet libbies think blasting music in his ears is too mean and want Bush to stop — their effort to Win One for The Gripper.

Liberals insist the war can be won by bombarding al-Qaeda with search warrants and indictments yet, when Bush indicts, they complain there’s ‘not enough’ evidence. They say there’s ‘not enough’ evidence against the Holy Land Foundation even though it got caught funneling loads of cash directly to Hamas. No big deal, Holy Land’s just a “charity” — CAIR says so — and Hamas’s just a roving band of philanthropists.

With the Breck Girl campaigning from the left and Hillary campaigning from the left, Swimsuit had to cough up something showing he loathes America as much or more than they do, but if this ‘I ditched the flag pin in order to think about national security’ is the best he can do, he’s an empty swimsuit. You can wear the flag pin and still rack up leads in key early states if Democrat voters there know you’re faking it, as Hillary’s doing, especially since Cackle’s up against a spectacularly weak field — rookie senator, Kerry’s loser running mate, another reject (passed over for second spot on Kerry’s ticket), serial plagiarist, has-been Alaska ex-senator, Gov. Richardson (who’ll create millions of jobs but couldn’t find one for Monica), and there’s . . . Dennis Kucinich.

Gore and Kerry and now Cackles — three big reasons why Republicans end up winning elections. Poor, poor libbies.

Anyway, that’s...

GREAT JOB!.

Love the essays JH2 & LOVE the graphics you chose to go with it Dutchess!

Obama is scary! so it the female contender! so are most of the RATS!

We must work hard to make sure a Republican is elected. We cannot afford to have these people be in charge of our security & our selection of judges in years ahead.

Thank you THREE for the contributions

[ConorMacNessa]

Great thread and Pledge, dutchess - and another hilarious analysis from JH2!

[Diver Dave]

WOW!

Another masterpiece by the dynamic duo JH2 and dutchess. I’m so impressed I think I’ll say it backwards...

WOW!

Keep up the good work!

[DollyCali]

Lend Me a Kit

I will lend to you for awhile, a kit, God said,
For you to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below I want this kit to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd's life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love -- Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Kit back again.

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Kit will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness - we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay

But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve
In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve,
When our faithful loved one departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another Kit from you and love him all his life. .

Dita, this was one of the readings I had at Oliver's funeral December 05.

[traditional1]

Luv the common sense and the great sense of humor.

Keep 'em comin' !

[GodBlessUSA]

What is scary is some Americans entertain voting for these left lunatics.

Excellent thread! Thank you!

Why Do We Give?

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Matthew 6:1-4

When you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. —Matthew 6:3

Whatever happened to the notion of giving for the sake of giving?" asked Tim Harford, columnist for FinancialTimes. "The closer you look at charitable giving, the less charitable it appears to be." A study of door-to-door fund-raising campaigns, for instance, found that organizations earned far more by selling lottery tickets than by asking for donations.

"This hardly suggests a world populated by altruists seeking to do the maximum good with their charitable cash," says Harford. At least for some people, there’s a something-for-me/something-for-you approach to giving.

Jesus also dealt with the issue of motives in giving. When He said not to let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, He was teaching that our motives for giving to God and to others must be pure. Our giving should be in response to God’s love. To encourage pure motives, Jesus instructs people to give and to do good deeds in secret with no thought of themselves. God, who sees everything, will reward them (Matt. 6:3-4).

Our generosity should be God-centered—not to make us look good, but to please the Lord. With your next good deed, ask yourself: If I knew that no one would ever find out that I did this, would I still do it

Grant us, then, the grace for giving
With a spirit large and free,
That our life and all our living
We may consecrate to Thee.  —Murray

God sees the giver as well as the gift; the heart as well as the hand.

Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 37-38; Colossians 3

[Billie]

You all did it again - I love it! Great stuff here as always (it’s really kinda fun to John’s “Breck Girl” again). :)

[La Enchiladita]

Dolly, I melt to see what you have done here.

This poem is beautiful and helps to grieve with gratitude.
You know so well how to honor our furry companions/faithful friends.
Thank you, thank you...

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you, dutchess. Go get ‘em, JH2.
Being proud of NOT wearing a flag pin is what the Left is all about...
They take ingratitude to new astonishing lows, ever biting the hand that feeds them.

And, yes, hopefully their shamelessness helps them to lose, but more than that WE have good reasons to win....

I can see nearly every Republican candidate we have now as Commander in Chief for the Finest Armed Forces in the world. Not one of the Dems is imaginable in that position.

Hence, my motivation to fight for our Party: the fine people of our military, both active duty and veterans, family members and friends. We cannot let our countrymen down.

[MEG33]

Another winner..Scary to think which flag they ARE flying.
God help our nation survive the dims.

[pookie18]

From Today's Toons 10/12/07:

[Majie Purple]

obama thinks that wearing the American Flag is unpatriotic?
he may as well be covered in a bunch of red flags...as in danger,danger!

That goes for every dim running!...
They must not get in. To let them win would for sure and for certian do us/US more harm than any possible good!

[dutchess]

Hi Dolly. Thanks for the kudos. Sorry I missed you this morning...posted and was out the door!

BTW...can you believe this weather. 90 degrees two days ago and now this!

[dutchess]

Hi Conor. Sorry I missed you this morning and thanks for the kudos. John IS THE BEST! LOVE his biting insight!

[jaycee]

Thank you all for today’s great thread. I haven’t read the whole thing yet but I just read “The Essay” from John Huang 2 and I will say it was the highlight of my day. Wonderfully true and also the funniness of it all was great. Love “Cackles”, the name for her!!!

[jaycee]

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for today’s devotional. I always receive benefit from it!
