Why don’t the crews of these ships pack heat?

When asked about the pirates seizing an American-flagged vessel and taking the crew hostages:

Obozo didn’t know what to say, since TOTUS had no comment, and said he was “too busy talking about housing” (where is that in the Constitution?) to play Commander-in-Chief (that is in the Constitution).

Hildebeast, aka Secretary of State of the United States, cackled like a stoned witch.

Do you feel secure now with the leadership of your country?

You know, I’m beginning to wonder if he’s soft-peddling or reluctant to deal with these pirates because they’re black.

He stayed in that insane church for 20 years because of his love of black liberation theology, maybe he somehow thinks these pirates deserve some money -especially at the expense of Americans.

NOt that it surprise me, but did Obama actually say, when queried at a press conference “Guys, we’re talking about housing right now” as a way of ducking the Somali pirate question?
Everything we need to know about the guy is embedded in that moment and its context.
1. He’s not really concerned about “international affairs” where it might force him to make a life or death decision face to face with Islamic terrorists/
2. His New New Deal “agenda” takes precedence over EVERYTHING, and the stupid press needs to be reminded of that all the time.
and 3. Addressing the press as “Guys” in both creepily over-familiar, conspiriatorially chummy, and , to my ear, makes him sound like your waiter at Chili’s, as in , Hi,guys, I’m your waiter, my name is Barack””. (later in the meal) “You guys all right? You want anything else?”
What a stupid low-grade slob this guy is.
We will defeat him handily.

THere’s never a wasted word in anything Andrew McCarthy writes. It is ALL right on, and to the point. Love this guy.

The Bush-held-his-hand defense is really getting a little worn. Holding hands, kissing, hugging aren’t BOWING. If anything, they’re paternalistic, they’re kind, and yes, they’re respectful in a way that could never be construed as demeaning to the actor. Age, not position, is what Bush “deferred” to.

There is nothing less civilized than rewarding evil and thus guaranteeing more of it.

Hear, hear!

The scourge of piracy was virtually wiped out in 19th century because its practitioners were regarded as barbarians — enemies of the human race (hostis humani generis, as Bret Stephens recently reminded us in a brilliant Wall Street Journal essay). They derived no comfort from the rule of law, for it was not a mark of civilization to give them comfort.

We need to go back to this.

Our forefathers understood well.

There is nothing less civilized than rewarding evil and thus guaranteeing more of it. High-minded as it is commonly made to sound, it is not civilized to appease evil, to treat it with “dignity and respect,” to rationalize its root causes, to equivocate about whether evil really is evil, and, when all else fails, to ignore it — to purge the very mention of its name — in the vain hope that it will just go away. Evil doesn’t do nuance. It finds you, it tests you, and you either fight it or you’re part of the problem.

One of the best paragraphs ever appearing in any column.

There remains something in the American character that won’t slide so easily into the straitjacket.

Well spoken....words to live by!
