So now I know how a Martian would feel coming to Earth and looking around. You see, I spent the last two weeks out in Central California, away from the coasts, trying a lawsuit. Some other time we’ll talk about how our legal system uses you non-lawyers like inmates use a handsome young lad on his debut trip to San Quentin. In any case, now I have come home, plugged back in, and it’s pretty clear to me that America under Obama has gone completely insane.
That's not a subjective impression but, rather, an objective finding of fact. What's going on in this country right now is just plain nuts, and perhaps it takes stepping away for a little while and then coming back to look at it with fresh eyes to see just how far the madness has gone.
I see NBC news anchor Brian Williams has been bragging about looking down the barrels of RPGs and dodging floating corpses in New Orleans and all sorts of other badass stuff. Of course, none of it was true. Wouldn't you think that the few remaining ancients who still watch network news might expect more? Suspended shushmended. Doesn’t it seem a little crazy that this guy still has a network anchor gig to come back to?
I find it odd that a guy paid millions of dollars to tell the truth doesn't get fired when it's discovered that that's not what he does. I mean, Brian Williams has one job, to tell people the truth, and it turns out that he's just Bill Clinton with rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
The funny thing is that Brian Williams had nothing to be ashamed of. He went to Iraq. Good for him. That’s pretty cool. Everybody’s not Chris Kyle. I was deployed in a couple hostile fire zones, but I was so far in the rear with the gear that most the gear was in front of me. But I know guys who were really in the midst of the stuff, and some of them got hurt. Brave Brian's pathetic attempt to steal their glory doesn't make me mad. It makes me embarrassed for him. But then, as a conservative, I was born with a shame gene.
Naturally, the mainstream media is circling the Volvos to protect its poster boy. Apparently we are the crazy ones for expecting an anchor not to lie through his teeth to make himself look like a big man. No, the elite can't let Brian Williams fall. He's one of them. Plus his daughter is super special too. She’s conventionally pretty and mimes transgressive sex acts on another lying elitist's barely-watched TV show. These are our betters; we’re just too dumb and busy with jobs to realize it. We can't hold Brian Williams to lofty standards like “not lying all the time” – that's crazy talk!
Speaking of crazy talk, I see that President Obama is calling the Islamic fanatics’ attacks in Paris “random.” Who would've thought that a bunch of anti-Semitic fans of ISIS who say they're going to go out and murder Jews might actually go out and murder Jews? What are the chances? Sure, the jihadi jerkwad could have hit Olaf's Norwegian Lutefisk Factory or Mr. Wang's Chinese Food Emporium, but somehow, coincidentally, randomly, he ended-up in a Jewish deli, in the Jewish section of Paris, and murdered Jewish people. That's a crazy coincidence right there.
I also missed out on learning the real source of trouble in our world today, which was the ultimately unsuccessful Crusades of almost 1000 years ago. I kind of agree with Obama that is regrettable – if the Crusaders had won, we probably wouldn’t be having these problems right now.
Also, the Numero Uno threat to our national security isn’t the metastasizing cancer that is ISIS and its fellow travelers, none of whom apparently have anything at all to do with Islam. The big threat is global warming. And we’re the crazy one for expecting that if the globe is actually warming then it would actually be getting warmer.
And speaking of ISIS, is it crazy to wonder why any of them are still alive? You know, when a group like ISIS puts one of your allied pilots in a cage and burns him alive, the smart play is to kill all of them. See, when you kill all of the semi-human savages who do semi-human, savage things like that, it provides a couple of beneficial effects. First, you have fewer semi-human savages left to deal with. Everybody wins with that. Second, it sends an important message to the other semi-human savages out there who might be inclined to burn allied pilots alive in a cage in the future. That message is, "If you burn our people alive in cages, we will kill all of you." This is a powerful, innovative strategy.
But, our reaction was apparently limited to a couple of hashtags and, I suspect, Josh Ernest blaming everything on John Boehner and the Republicans for being the Party of No.
Am I crazy for thinking things can't go on like this? No, the crazy ones are the ones who think things can.
IT is particularly odd for most of us who have grown up and been adults in a relatively sane world, to have to suffer Bath-house Barry and his band of marxist miscreants.
From Jen Psaki to John F’n Kerry down the line.... for the last six years have been a trip down the bunny hole from which it is difficult to make any sense of.
Never heard of looking down the barrel of a RPG. Hostile fire zone? Um, exactly where? Some of the were wounded. You get hurt if you stub your toe or cut yourself shaving. I'm calling BS on this. I bet he felt out place when he went to Central CA. I wonder how he would feel in fly over country.
Huh?
You wouldn’t understand. You live in Taxachusetts.
Where is that “Thas Rasush!” Kid?
And foreign policy that involves tweets and Instagram...
Evolving Terminology:
Just as our basic vocabulary grows and evolves on an almost daily basis, so too does our usage of technical terminology and acronyms.
Example: In recent American history, the president of our once-great nation has been identified by the acronym “POTUS” , which of course stands for President Of The United States .
However, during the current presidency, many may not be aware of the subtle change in meaning that has come about with that term..
The occupant of the Oval Office is still referred to as the POTUS, but the term has become much more descriptive of the man holding this once revered position:
POTUS now means “PIECE OF TOTALLY USELESS Shiite.
It is you who does not understand the article.
The writer was taking rhetorical liberties with referring to Brian William's claim of being in a helicopter which was hit (or at least fired upon) by rpg's, when the writer (Kurt Schlichter) put it as "looking down both barrels".
You say several things which show you didn't understand the article, like;
He's an Army veteran, and now a lawyer from out of L.A. (ever been to L.A.? No? It's maybe not quite like you may have seen in the movies). There's no real reason he would feel out of place in Central California, unless the Los Angeles Basin was all he knew. Myself, I feel out of place in the big cities -- and I've been in most of them at one time or another...
But how would Central California be all that much different that so-called "fly over" country, anyway? That's what I'd really like to know.
Have you ever been to the San Joaquin, or (further North) the Central Valley?
I cannot recall hearing of this Kurt Schlichter before, but from an 'about' page entry at TownHall;
Kurt has published four #1 bestselling Amazon "Political Humor" ebooks in a row: "I Am a Conservative: Uncensored, Undiluted and Absolutely Un-PC" (also an audiobook), "I Am a Liberal: A Conservative's Guide to Dealing With Nature's Most Irritating Mistake," “Fetch My Latte: Sharing Feelings With Stupid People,” and “Fifty Shades of Liberal.”Kurt rose to the rank of Army colonel (Infantry), commanded a cavalry recon squadron, and served in Desert Storm and Kosovo as well as multiple disaster operations. He lives in the South Bay area of Los Angeles where his hobbies include red meat and red wine. [underlining for emphasis]
Do you feel like a PA pinhead now? You should.
And no, I'm not from "Taxachusetts" nor am I one of those other names for residents of Massachusetts (although I understand the term, and have heard them use it among themselves while referring to themselves, the brief amount of time I've spent there) but was raised in a land foreign to you yankees -- called Texas.
I always hated it when going elsewhere and being called "yankee". Those were fighting words to use Texas boys, when we were growing up...
Lighten up Francis
Coincidentally, I made a post earlier today saying this is the ERA of Insanity.
Yet, when he writes such vulgar metaphors as, “Some other time we’ll talk about how our legal system uses you non-lawyers like inmates use a handsome young lad on his debut trip to San Quentin.” I contend he is part of the insanity as well.
?
Lighten up, yourself, yankee ;^’)
I won’t be as eloquent as BlueDragon, suffice it to say you seem to have completely missed the point of the article. BTW, George Patton was a Mass resident, just sayin’.
The way theologeons explained the “end times” in lectures I’ve attended we are in it. In the “end times” everything is confusing. What was good is now bad and logic is turned on its ear. Wrong is right and evil is worshipped. Sin is virture. Seems like we’re there or these “theologeans” are just kooks......
