Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[Amy&Dan]

Hey c4a, I just wanted to say that I completely agree with your post over on the "Christians are Litterbugs" thread:

Oh my Lord, I need to find this one. I haven't had quite enough ridiculous things to deal with today.

 

[SorcererDonald16]

I don't watch deep movies; I have no time for introspection, self-revelation and the betterment of mankind.
So I watch Bugs Bunny instead.

I don't mind a really long movie if it's a good one. To me it seems like most of the long movies in recent years could've stood to be at least a half hour shorter. The only long movie I can remember in a long time that I wish had been longer was Prince Caspian, but I can think of a bunch that I felt should've been shorter.

MSNBC Anchor Frets: Why Hasn’t Obama’s Election Ended Terrorism?
By Rich Noyes
Created 2008-12-01 10:53

File this one under “Deluded Expectations.” During MSNBC’s coverage of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, daytime anchor Alex Witt seemed frustrated that the election of Barack Obama 23 days earlier — and the accompanying “global outpouring of affection, respect, hope” — had not caused an end to terrorist violence.
Talking with correspondent John Yang, who was covering the Obama side of the story, Witt conceded that while “you certainly can’t expect things to change on a dime overnight....There had been such a global outpouring of affection, respect, hope, with the new administration coming in, that precisely these kinds of attacks, it was thought — at least hoped — would be dampered down. But in this case it looks like Barack Obama is getting a preview of things to come.”

It almost seems like a parody of liberals’ blind worship of Obama to actually expect that The One’s election would mean terrorists hanging up their bomb belts, peace around the world, lions lying down with lambs, and so forth. For his part, Yang delicately pointed out the more valid concern that “the enemies of the United States, those who don’t care for the United States no matter who’s leading it, would try and test the United States” during the transition from Bush to Obama.

Here’s the full exchange, that took place at about 2:55pm EST on Thursday, after Yang reported on how Obama was being fully briefed by the Bush administration on the terrorist attacks:


Quote:
ALEX WITT: You know, John, and it’s interesting because there are many who had such an optimstic and hopeful opinion of things, and you certainly can’t expect things to change [snaps fingers] on a dime overnight, but there are many who suggested that with the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration there would be something of a lull in terrorism attacks. There had been such a global outpouring of affection, respect, hope, with the new administration coming in, that precisely these kinds of attacks, it was thought — at least hoped — would be dampered down. But in this case it looks like Barack Obama is getting a preview of things to come.

JOHN YANG: He’s — it’s a rude awakening, a very, sort of, sober reminder of what he’s going to be facing in just a few weeks. And there is some concern also, there had been some concern, that during this period, during this, the transition period, between Election Day and Inauguration Day, that the enemies of the United States, those who don’t care for the United States no matter who’s leading it, would try and test the United States, would try to take advantage of this period, and I think that may be one thing that we’re seeing right now.

WITT: Okay, John Yang there in Chicago, following President-elect Barack Obama’s Thanksgiving Day dinner having been interrupted by all of this news from Mumbai. John, thank you very much.

Holy crap, can you imagine how that conversation would have gone if McCain had won??

 

[Michelle67]

That's kinda creepy...

 

[SorcererDonald16]

Is Witt taking stupid pills or something? Seriously! How dumb must you be to think that if he got elected there might be a lull? They're out to destroy our way of life. They're after us because we're free (India also being a democracy, thus they're after them too). And they don't particularly like Christianity or Judaism either. So Obama gets elected, and all should be right with the world because all of those reasons will magically go away? Oh, please.

It's like talking to a brick wall with some of these people.

There, fixed that for ya'.

 

[debbieandroo]

Well, this reporter is in big deep you-know-what because he actually asked the POTUS-elect, aka 'H', a real question -- 'having criticized HC for her lack of foreign policy experience during the campaign, why are you now appointing her SoS?'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqfG...aign-quote-generator/&feature=player_embedded

Not exactly sure the above link will play but I found it on Michelle Malkin's site -- michellemalkin.com

H's response was as follows:

This is fun for the press to try to stir up whatever quotes were generated during the course of the campaign, and you’re having fun. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m not faulting it. But, look, I think if you look at the statements that Hillary Clinton and I have made outside of the heat of a campaign, we share a view that America has to be safe and secure, and in order to do that we have to combine military power with strengthened diplomacy.

'quotes generated during the course of a campaign'?!??!!?!?

 

[Humphrey Bear]

There, fixed that for ya'.

You sure got that right!

Yup, h will make those reasons (Christianity, Judaism, freedom) go away.

 

[debbieandroo]

Another good one from Michelle Malkin - okay, everyone - let's sing together now:

It’s beginning to look a lot like Hillmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the Department of State
It’s Hillary Clinton ‘08
What wond’rous fate and Billy Boy’s aglow

It’s beginning to look a lot like Hillmas
Everywhere you stare
Larry Summers will lead a team
That looks like a Clinton dream
And Obama will deliver us unto to HillaryCare

John Podesta’s paving the way for the hacks and flacks
Who screwed up two decades ago
Rahm Emanuel’s back, Eric Holder’s warmed over
Greg Craig regained his mojo
And Bill and Hill can hardly wait to triangulate once mo’

It’s beginning to look a lot like Hillmas
Everyone you meet
Is a retread brought back from the dead
Has Obama gone soft in the head?
Who knew defeat would be so very sweet?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Hillmas
So much for change and hope
Oh, the moldiest sights you’ll see
Are the old Clintonites that will be
Right beside The Dope.

Hi all!

I tell you, I can take just about anything the OS can dish out, but when they accuse a sitting president of allowing 9/11 to happen, as if the terrorists sent him a memo detailing their plans, it really makes my blood boil!!

The kool-aid is flowing strong tonight!

In other news, here's my prediction: Obama will regret the day he made Hillary SOS, because both the Clinton's will be such a thorn in his side.

 

[Humphrey Bear]

That's kinda creepy...

I found something even creepier:

Nikolai Ezhov was a member of the NKVD


The NKVD (Russian: НКВД, Народный Комиссариат Внутренних Дел Narodnyy Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del listen (help·info)) or People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs was the leading secret police organization of the Soviet Union that was responsible for political repression during the Stalinist era. It conducted mass extrajudicial executions, ran the Gulag system of forced labor, suppressed underground resistance, conducted mass deportations of nationalities and "Kulaks" to unpopulated regions of the country, guarded state borders, conducted espionage and political assassinations abroad, was responsible for subversion of foreign governments, and enforced Stalinist policy within Communist movements in other countries.

The NKVD was also known for its Main Directorate for State Security (GUGB), which eventually became the Committee for State Security (KGB). In addition to its state security and police functions, however, some of its departments handled other matters, such as firefighting, border guards (NKVD Border Troops), and archives.

I saw a locked thread and read the last page, so now I know what you're referring to. If there is another attack after 1/20/09, some will blame that on Bush as well. Their opinion stopped mattering to me a long time ago.

Well, guess what I bought at Wal-Mart today?? The Christmas Sweater! I just finished it!!! I swear, couldn't put it down!!!!! Wow wow wow what a read!!!! I also bought myself a Poloroid digital camera- so Merry Christmas to me about three weeks early!!!

How is everyone tonight, I must ask.

It angers me as well. I guess the ACTUAL terrorists aren't to blame, huh?

When is the Kool-Aid NOT flowing strong? It keeps getting stronger the closer we get to 1/20/09. It's insane!!

Only with Bush gone, it won't work. They'll try it, but no one's gonna buy it, certainly not the American people. Really, Bush leaving office is a bad nightmare for these folks. It's all gonna be on them now. I had an Obama supporter at work tell me just today that with the India attack, he's really scared. He said, "Everyone who voted for Obama really knows that they guy is totally unprepared. Now the reality of what we've done is setting in." I said, "Yeah? Here's a quarter, call someone what cares about your buyer's remorse."
