BORN IN THE U.S.A.!

It's often hard to pick the most ridiculous thing that has been the source of public debate.

Is Sarah Palin qualified to be President, for example? Why would you debate an absurdity? Because the world is nothing, if not completely absurd.

For a while I found it amusing. Now it's scaring the Holiday BeJesus out of me. Because things which we all once dismissed as the product of pure nutcases are now given time on prime time cable "news" shows and space in the anachronism known to some of you as something called a "newspaper."

For example, do you believe there is a nutjob in the U.S. military nutty enough to raise the "issue" of whether Obama was born in the U.S.A.? And he's so batshit that he's willing to go to jail?

NEWSER.COM:

http://www.newser.com/article/d9k3m5e00/court-martial-for-army-doctor-who-refused-to-deploy-without-seeing-obamas-birth-certificate.html
A military court was set to hear the case Tuesday of an Army doctor charged with refusing to deploy to Afghanistan because he says he doubts whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. and therefore questions his eligibility to be commander in chief.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, an 18-year-Army veteran, disobeyed orders to report earlier this year to Fort Campbell in Kentucky to prepare for deployment, saying he believed the orders were illegal.

Notice you didn't have anyone refusing orders because Dubya was appointed rather than elected in 2000.

Now take a look at this nut job. He's on YouTube. Naturally. What crazy-ass mofo wouldn't want to advertise his level of nutty jobbiness?



NUT-JOB-YOUTUBE-QUOTE:
"Any reasonable person looking critically at the evidence currently in the public domain would have questions about President Obama's claim to be a natural born citizen."


What exactly does Col. Batshit have to do with being a "reasonable" person?

The fact that "evidence" needsd to be presented in the first place is beyond pathetic.

FACTCHECK.ORG:
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false.



"The Constitution matters," says Nut Job. "The truth matters."

There is nothing that matters less as I type this in my freezing bedroom staring out at a winter wondferland in December of 2010 than the "truth." The Faux News Orwellian Big Lie machine is winning. The paranoid get all the attention.

You can't just present truth and shut these nut jobs up. You still have to argue. Because they know what they know, which is nothing, which is why they're never wrong.

Thanks Col. Batshit. Your peers are fighting and dying. You're playing funny farm games on your way to the hoosegow. You've had your 15 minutes. Now you're done.

Score one for the good guys. We're still WAY, WAY behind.

SOURPUSS SAYS G.O.P. GOT ROLLED!

SCORE ONE FOR THE O'BOMBER!(?)

Of all the sour pusses on the national pundit scene, Charles Krauthammer is the sourest, as opposed to the pussiest.

He's not Mr. Fancy Pants with words like George Will. He's not the occasional voice of moderation like David Brooks.

He's one of those no-mosques-at-ground-zero idiots, and he writes well enough to give the bigots the appearance of legitimate cover.

He hates liberals. He consistently Kraut-hammers them, crucifying any and all lefty ideas whether they have an ounce of merit or not. He pisses on their graves, even when they're not dead yet.

He make your average Johnny One Note look like a full scale Pavarotti. I'm not sure that last metaphor worked, but you get the idea.

I despise his cranky ass as much as he would despise mine, if he had any idea I existed.

So, I hope to Christ this crucifying crab is correct when he says this:

Obama is no fool. While getting Republicans to boost his own reelection chances, he gets them to make a mockery of their newfound, second-chance, post-Bush, Tea-Party, this-time-we're-serious persona of debt-averse fiscal responsibility.

This column, which claims Obama has hoodwinked the Republicans with this tax deal, has pissed off some members of the Greedy Old Party, who thought they were the ones wearing the hoody and doing the winking.

It's true this deal illustrates outrageous GOP hypocrisy. But that happens every Goddamn day and most Americans STILL don't get it.

I'd rather have a deeper deficit that can hopefully be fixed if and when the economy rebounds, than President Mama Grizzly. Or President Stormin' Mormon. Or President Phony Jesus from Arkansas (whom I once ate in a grilled cheese sammich, but somehow he re-materialized).

Perhaps I'm deluding myself. Perhaps I'm overcome with joy that Ol' Sour Puss just got sourer, thanks to our beloved President Clinton... uh, Obama. (Yes Bill hanging around the Prez podium does invite a certain level of nostalgia... and really, what's wrong with a little stress relief? When the economy is humming along, insert Lewinsky joke here).

Some lefties complain that Obama is nothing more than a Chicago politician who lives for politics... the gamesmanship. And hence, he may have no real convictions.

I believe he has real convictions but thinks shrewd politics is the only way to move potential solutions (half assed though they may be) through the system. In this scenario, you attempt to make yourself devoid of passion to keep your eye on the ball... passing legislation to make at least incremental changes in a deeply flawed system.

Of course if your android qualities make it look like you have no passion for what matters, looking like a strong leader can be, well, damn near impossible.

And if the only time you get pissed in public you bitch at your base, WTF?

Ok. Now I'm boring myself.

Whatever. Blah blah blah. Economy gets better, 2nd term for the Big O. Economy still sucks, he'll be boarding the Barack-etship to the planet Jimmy Carter.

Thanks for getting pissy and feeling pissed on Chuckles the Hammering Sour Puss. There is very little else for a liberal Dem to smile about.

GEORGE WILL NEVER STOP ANNOYING ME

When it comes to egregious, despicable acts committed by the American government, well, we don't have time to really go into it. My two pet peeve despicable acts from recent history are (a.) the completely unnecessary and falsely premised Iraq War (and don't forget than in addition to our boys and girls dying for nothing, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Iraqi civilians died. Welcome to freedom.), and (b.) the stolen 2000 election.

I'm more pissed off about the latter without which the former would not have occurred. So who has the testicular fortitude to still try to defend this heinous miscarriage of justice? The guy who's constantly getting nailed for lying about climate change, George Will.

This guy INVENTED smug.

WASHINGTONPOST.COM - GEORGE WILL

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/10/AR2010121003803.html

What a surprise, Will's premise that Gore was the first to go to court (as if that, in and of itself, would make him deserve defeat, an absurd premise) was on fact, WRONG!

Documented here:

MEDIAMATTERS.ORG:
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201012130009
Gore, in fact, didn't go to court first. Bush was the one who first ran to the courts to try to intervene in the election. After election day in 2000, several Florida county election boards decided to conduct a manual recount of ballots to better determine the vote totals. And Bush went to federal court to halt the proceedings. The New York Times headline the next day read: "BUSH SUES TO HALT HAND RECOUNT IN FLORIDA." (Bush ultimately lost that case, although he obviously won the court case that mattered most.)

This was pure partisan bullshit, and the five who voted for this farce are all smart enough to know it's bullshit and that they pulled shit out of their asses to come up with this ridiculous opinion, so ridiculous in fact, that they themselves said it could ONLY apply to THIS case, when in fact the POINT of the Supreme Court is to establish precedents that apply to future cases for all us little folk. That's why they are the SUPREMES for cryin' out loud.

Why does will dredge up this bullshit? In an attempt to give intellectual heft to a shameful period in American political and legal history.


Even judge Robert Bork discussed the nonsense of "equal protection" problems since different counties had different standards, because IF YOU USE THAT LOGIC EVERY ELECTION IN AMERICAN HISTORY MUST BE OVERTURNED! (See above Media Matters piece).

It happened in broad daylight. Trying to determine a voter's intent was characterized as some crazy idea. The will of the people was cast aside as something inconvenient and complicated. Five grown men and women who knew better, put on their partisan hats and committed election fraud on the grandest scale, and there wasn't a Goddamn thing we could do about it.

Shame on George Will for resurrecting and trying to rationalize the shame and disgrace of those on his side of the fence in this most egregious of white collar crimes.

My only remaining question... will these thieves (three are still there) come up with an equally nonsensical partisan rationale to overturn health care reform?

And I once believed that when you made it all the way to the Supreme Court you at least attempted to look at things legally, not politically. Come to find out, they're just partisan hacks.

But then I am the definition of naive. I'm a liberal.
