The New Whigs

Leave a reply

2010 is a tipping point year. The results of the primaries Tuesday showed the Tea Party is about to become a real political party, gaining strength at every turn, driven by one overarching idea, the idea that the government is broken and needs fixing. The last time this happened was in the 1850s when the just formed Republican Party, whose one overarching idea was the abolition of slavery, saw that idea draw people from both political parties, but particularly from the Whigs, who were subsumed into the Republican Party and disappeared. It is time now for the Republican establishment to disappear under the swelling voices of those who do not like either party very much, and who want real hope and change, not the Marxist kind, and not the country club kind. The Republican Party is changing, involuntarily it is true, but changing nonetheless. The name may remain, but in 2012 the nominee of the Republican Party will be a small government get off my back Tea Partier.

 

 

We’re at a time when all the bigs

Who sit in their palatial digs

Hauling loot in diesel rigs

Laughing, grinning, dancing jigs

Should know that their nice lifelong gigs

Are due to have one of those zigs

That cause these fattened oily pigs

To join the late lamented Whigs

 

 

Roach Motel

Leave a reply

We all remember that old commercial about the roach motel, where the roaches check in but they never check out. Islam is the same. Apostasy is punishable by death. Once a muslim, always a muslim, so sayeth the Holy Quran. Which brings us to President Obama, who was born muslim, raised muslim, and now says he is an apostate, having renounced Islam and converted to Christianity. Luckily for Obama the muslims regard him as muslim still, and one of their own. Had the muslims thought otherwise the president would have been paid a visit by someone guided by holy writ.

 

 

The turbaned iman said come in

His swarthy features wreathed in grin

We welcome you to paradise

Come join with all the gals and guys

Who have accepted Allah’s will

Whose words in heathens quite instill

The fear that God will strike them down

As noble Atta struck the crown

Of western arrogance and greed

Oh how I love to see them bleed

What’s that you say, you’ve changed your mind

I do not mean to be unkind

But once a Muslim always so

In truth you have nowhere to go

For Allah says that we must slay

All those who do not choose to stay

With great regret then you must die

For we were friends sir you and I

But we must bend to Allah’s will

In death you will be Muslim still

 

 

The Wonderful Land Of Oz

Leave a reply

The recent elections in Australia turned out the ruling Labor party elected the Liberal candidate, overturning all the pundits who predicted a Labor victory. (To the confusion of all, the Australian Liberal party is the equivalent of the American Republican party, and to be confused at all with liberals or liberalism.) These results follow on similar results in Western Europe that saw the Left lose power to the conservative parties, particularly in Germany. The political course is rightward throughout the civilized west, except in the United States, where Obama is trying to make us into another failed socialist state like Greece or Portugal. But the trend is clear, and the elections in Oz only prove the point.

 

 

We love our Oz, for Oz, it gives

Such lovely vibes, all positives

The stations, sheep, the racing horse

The stalwart men, the girls of course

The land of law and honor codes

The bright star of the Antipodes

 

 

Blood And Oil

United Nations inspectors now concede Iran has enough nuclear material for two bombs, and that means they likely have enough for six, with more on the way. In a very few months Iran will test a bomb and announce themselves a Nuclear Power, the announcement coinciding with the withdrawal of all United States forces from Iraq and the abandonment of the Gulf by the Obama administration to the tender mercies of the Iranian mullahs who have sworn to kill every Jew in Israel as soon as they are able to do so. So what happens when the Iranian bomb arrives? The Sunni Gulf states will have to arm with nukes themselves or seek accommodation with the new king on the block. What will Israel do? Israel will not go quietly, and Iran will go before Israel goes. It does look good.

 

 

From the head of the Gulf

To the Straits of Hormuz

The ships ply their trade

Fearing the lighted fuse

As the Mullahs grow bold

And the Yanks pack and leave

The Sunnis fear now

There will be no reprieve

For the region at large

Waiting for the big hit

Now the question will be

Do we fight or submit

 

 

 

Seventy Years Ago

Leave a reply

Everyone believes World War 2 was won in May and August 1945, but they are wrong. World War 2 was won on 28 May, 1940, when Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered the greatest speech of his career, persuading the War Cabinet that Britain must continue the fight against Hitler regardless of cost. That speech won World War 2, for it is difficult to see how the war could have been won without England as an unsinkable aircraft carrier and base for the invasion. Lord Halifax and others were all for making peace with Hitler, but Churchill alone saw the impossibility of living with such a peace. How difficult it would be for Churchill to return these seventy years later and see the sad state of the Britain he led so proudly, the sad state of a weakling and truckling under to a ragtag third world Islam West that defied Hitler and later Stalin. He would not recognize the place.

 

 

One now gets the sense

These many years hence

That Churchill, were he to return

Would not know the place

But show a brave face

With nary a frown to discern

But deep down inside

He’d know there’s no pride

In Britain like he surely had

The Muslims now cry

All the gentiles must die

And the burqua the latest new fad

Politicians vote no

On the army and so

With the ships and the planes put to rest

The country he left

Is now weak and bereft

Of the means to meet any new test

The Britain he knew

The proud and the few

Is gone, and would leave him quite sad

But his mood would not sour

He’d had his finest hour

And he’d scowl and say Damn but I’m mad!

Then he’d chomp his cigar

Seeing now just how far

His country had managed to fall

Then he’d walk with a sigh

Wave a grateful goodbye

To the men who had given their all

 

 

Morning Prayer

Leave a reply

The Reverend Franklin Graham, Billy’s son, has said he believes the President when Obama says he has renounced Islam and accepted Jesus Christ. Graham believes this because Obama said so. This is what Graham said:

I think the president’s problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name. Now it’s obvious that the president has renounced the prophet Mohammed, and he has renounced Islam, and he has accepted Jesus Christ. That’s what he says he has done. I cannot say that he hasn’t. So I just have to believe that the president is what he has said. The Islamic world sees the president as one of theirs.

Exactly. The Islamic world sees Obama as one of theirs, and they have reason to believe so. Barack Hussein Obama is Muslim, as my Norwegian forbears were Lutheran and my Bavarian forbears were Catholic.

 

 

The most beautiful sound in the world

Is the call to morning prayer

So sayeth B. Hussein

In Cairo without care

The Imams smile and smirk

They can’t see what’s the fuss

They wink and whisper low

He’s clearly one of us

It’s not the Muslim faith

Who cares he won’t eat pork

But put a victory mosque

In Manhattan New York?

He tried to sell us on

His bogus Christian views

By sitting twenty years

In Wright’s race baiting pews

We know just what he is

Chameleon, colors change

All things to everyone

The facts he’ll rearrange

But we will all survive

We’ve seen his like before

He’s wakened up the crowd

He’ll soon be out the door

 

 

Madame Pelosi, Speaker Of The Mosque

Leave a reply

A few weeks ago Nancy Pelosi called for a Federal investigation of the people opposing the building of an Islamic terrorist victory mosque at Ground Zero, and the question is, why would Nancy and the President of the United States want and lobby for a muslim victory mosque in Manhattan. To me, the answer is obvious, but unless the Federales are reading this blog I’m safe enough. I believe Nancy Pelosi, Barack Hussein Obama and the radical left wing of the Democratic party want a muslim victory and a humiliated United States. 

 

 

That’s just our Nancy

Nothing fancy

Just Pelosi

Being cozy

With the guys

Who want the prize

Of pushing sticks into our eyes

That’s what she does

The is and was

Of all Dem Libs

From Robert Gibbs

Up to the One

Who’s having fun

Just knowing he’s a one and done

 

 

The River

Leave a reply

The history of the future is unknown, but so, ironically, is much of the history of the past. Little is known of the details of the decisions to make war, or peace, particularly among authoritarian regimes. Secrecy and speculation are at the heart of history. The real question is, was there actually a past? Did certain events actually happen? Is there a future? Or is the present all there is, all there ever was? Is there such a thing as time, or at the birth of the universe did everything happen at once? If everything happened at once, at the moment of creation of the universe, then we all are, in a very real sense, immortal. But perhaps there is such a thing as time, such a thing as a past and a future. If there is, then time is a river, and we are carried along by the tide, like it or not, to our ultimate destiny.   

 

 

Time is a river, it flows without end

The past is forever, the present a trend

We swim in the river for some little time

Then out of the river and up the bank climb

Some say this is death, but others say no,

The river says nothing, continues to flow

The future is up there, perhaps past the trees

The river has already flowed past with ease

Past trees, lakes and farmlands the river runs true

For time has an ending, but only for you

 

 

The Red Death

Leave a reply

Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story titled The Mask Of The Red Death, in which Prince Prospero ordered up a masked ball for the elites while the Red Death raged through his kingdom, killing the populace in horrible ways. Poe wrote this short story in 1845, and It is now coming true in the person of the most radical left red politician ever to be elected president of the United States. Obama is Prince Prospero, except that Prospero did not summon the Red Death, and Obama has, and like Prospero, Obama will not see the end of the dance, for the American people now see Obama for what he is, and will reject him utterly.    

 

 

Prince Prospero has just announced

A ball, with gaiety pronounced

And wit and lively music for the dance

While through the land the red death roams

As people lose both jobs and homes

And liberty and freedom have no chance

The Prince has turned the White House rooms

Into the shades of flowered blooms

With blue and green and bright red colored walls

In costume dancers swing and sway

And drink and laugh the night away

Don’t go into this room. Prospero calls

Into the ball there comes a wraith

Who says we must have hope and faith

A place of worship, holy prayer and grace

The features of the wraith are black

His costume torn and tattered sack

With blood and terror written on his face

He strides with arrogance each room

Pronouncing all will meet their doom

And strides into the room now black and red

Prospero follows in his wake

Apology he needs to make

But when he sees the wraith the Prince falls dead

And so it goes with those who dance

And think the Left a true romance

And being nice and bowing to the foe

Is just a sign of gentlemen

Who do not see the moment when

The red death is upon them and they go

 

 

Merkel To Obama: Machts Nichts!

152 Replies

Earlier this summer President Obama urged the Europeans to increase their stimulus spending, arguing that only by running up huge and unsustainable debt could countries avoid a damaging recession. Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, replied that Germany would not listen to such nonsense, but would cut back on its spending and rely on the German economy to work its way out without further government interference. The idea of not relying on the government for everything is anathema to those of Obama’s stripe, and so the president was entirely discomfited by what he undoubtedly thought was lese majeste. How dare the mere Chancellor of Germany defy the Anointed One? But she did, and the results proved her right and Obama wrong. Not that he would ever admit it. And what is worse, from Obama’s point of view, is that other countries are going along with Merkel.

 

 

Obama’s wagons in a circle

Thanks to a feisty Mrs, Merkel

She who says the debt’s too high

The poor want bread, we give them pie

Obama says the public knows

That only as the spending grows

Will countries avoid nineteen thirty

He knows because a little birdy

Told him that increasing debt

Is chancy, but the way to bet

But Angela just sits and smirks

She knows what’s right and knows what works
