Has Bush Consulted with Pat Robertson about the "Surge"?

Has Bush Consulted with Pat Robertson about the “Surge”?

In October, 2004, Evangelist Pat Roberston revealed that before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, he personally told President Bush that war in Iraq would be a “disaster and messy.”

According to Robertson, his advice originated with the Lord, and was meant to
alert the president to the high risks involved.

Robertson went on to add that the president replied that there would be no casualties.

Nearly four years later, it turns out that Roberston (with a huge assist from the Lord) was a lot better at prognostication than George W. Bush. With more than 3,000 Americans killed and thousands more injured, “disaster and messy” seem apt descriptions of events in Iraq.

America faces a critical juncture in the war on terror, including our commitment to Iraq. President Bush is reportedly about to send up to 20,000 additional Americans into harm’s way.

All patriotic Americans hope and pray that the president makes the right call, and that the war on terror will turn in the favor of coalition forces, and sooner rather than later.

Still, I cannot help but wondering: Has Bush consulted with Pat Robertson about the “surge”?

Nancy in Wonderland Opposes American Troops, Supports Illegal Aliens

Nancy in Wonderland Opposes American Troops, Supports Illegal Aliens

Since her leap over and through the glass ceiling last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has unveiled a legislative agenda that would, if enacted, make Washington, D.C. the socialism capitol of the world.

Madam Speaker has drawn a line in the sand to mark her territory, and that of the ignoble left, by wrapping herself around incredibly foolish notions like these:

* The war on terror is being waged everywhere in the world—except in Iraq.

* It is OK to deny funds for additional troops in Iraq, because America has no vital interests there.

* America does have a vital interest in granting amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens here from the third world.

* Although denying funds for additional troops is acceptable, there should be no limit to the taxpayer money spent to accommodate invading criminals from Mexico.

* Anyone with the temerity, drive, ingenuity, and gall to earn more than $500,000 a year is clearly un-American, and is probably a greater threat to homeland security than Osama bid Laden himself.

* Excessively successful people must be taxed excessively as punishment for embarrassing the unwashed, less talented working class, and to discourage other bright people from becoming overly capitalistic.

And so America sets off on this zany venture into the world of extremism, otherwise known as Nancy in Wonderland.

May God watch over us, one and all, for the next two years.

"Snake Eyes" Takes Aim on American Troops

“Snake Eyes” Takes Aim on American Troops

Since officially shattering the glass ceiling last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has launched into a legislative agenda that could easily convert Washington, D.C. into the most socialist city in the world.

Following her first round on the Sunday television shows as Speaker, Pelosi has drawn a line in the sand to mark her territory, and that of the ignoble left.

It is clear that Madam Speaker genuinely subscribes to these wrongheaded notions:

* The war on terror is being waged everywhere in the world—with the exception of Iraq.

* It is OK to deny funds for additional troops in Iraq, because America has no vital interests there.

* America does have a vital interest in granting amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens here from the third world. Although denying funds for additional troops is acceptable, there should be no limit to the taxpayer money spent to accomodate invading criminals from Mexico.

* Anyone with the temerity, drive, ingenuity, and gall to make more than $500,000 a year is clearly un-American, and is probably a greater threat to homeland security than Osama bid Laden himself.

* Very high taxes must be enacted to punish such people for their unseemly successes, and to serve as a deterrent against others that would also become overly capitalistic if allowed to.

* Being poor, disabled, dysfunctional, abnormal, criminally insane, mentally deranged, alcoholic, drug addicted or otherwise incapable of adapting in a normal social setting are conditions that are not the responsibility of the individual.

Rather these maladies are caused by overcrowded classrooms, esteem threatening tests, Christmas, Easter, Jesus Christ, the Holy Bible, excessive displays of heterosexuality in public venues, George W. Bush, and being forced to say “Under God” when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance

* Being a “victim” is far nobler than being a decorated war hero.

And so America begin this wild venture into the world of zany liberalism.
May God watch over us, one and all, for the next two years.

Bloomberg Solution to NYC Stink Crisis: "Waiting for the Gas to Pass"

Bloomberg Solution to NYC Stink Crisis: “Waiting for the Gas to Pass”

New York Mayor Bloomberg is no George W. Bush when it comes to butchering the queen’s English. Then again, the mayor is hardly eloquent when it comes to public annunciation.

Example: In discussing a strange, unpleasant odor of unknown origin that has residents of New York City pinching their noses for reasons other than Da Mayor’s liberal policies, Bloomberg exposed his limited options when he said: “We Are Waiting for the Gas to Pass.”

Bloomberg’s words were worthy of a major headline on the Drudge Report and honorable mention by Rush Limbaugh on his radio gig Monday morning.

The mayor’s blathering reminds me of my first thoughts after hearing Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid wax enthusiastic about their socialist manifesto in Washington, D.C. last week.

But while New York City can be counted to take care of itself, I worry about Washington, D.C.

Can the nation’s capitol wait two years for the “gas to pass” from the 110th Congress?

G.W Bush and His "January Surprise"

G.W Bush and His “January Surprise”

With most of the world anxiously awaiting the president’s announcement concerning new plans for the war in Iraq, beltway insider Opel Bijiquiovarti reports that Bush will rock America and all of the world with a “January Surprise.”

According to Bijiquiovarti, the following is the final transcript of the speech that Bush will deliver from the Oval Office next Wednesday evening:

“Good evening, fellow Americans. Laura and I extend our best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to each and every American.

On November 7, 2006, America showed the world why we are the greatest and most blessed nation in human history.

For on that otherwise ordinary Tuesday, the principles of freedom, rule of law, and self-determination were exercised by tens of millions of patriotic Americans who voted in free and open elections.

Without a single shot being fired, the American people demanded a massive change in government: Republicans in power were to be replaced by Democrats.

For Republicans, including your president, that message was a disappointment.
We Republicans have worked hard to serve the American people and believe we had succeeded, for the most part.

Nonetheless, I respect the will of the people and will abide by their judgments. That is what the U.S. Constitution requires me to do, and it is the right thing to do as well.

Immediately after the results of the election became clear, I began implementing the will of the people.

On November 8, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield was allowed to resign in order that a new direction could be pursued in Iraq.

Later that month, John Bolton was permitted to resign as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Ken Mehlman was replaced as Republican National Committee Chairman.

Just last week, Harriet Miers left the White House and returned to Texas to oversee the state lottery. Laura and I wish Harriet the best, and are willing to bet the ranch that she will do a great job.

Note, please, that none of these changes were specifically called for by the November 7 elections.

But because I have always been a unifier rather than a divider, I have expanded my policy of preemptive strikes to include urgent domestic issues, where possible without sacrificing principles.

In keeping with that policy decision and to further demonstrate my commitment to the will of the people, I am announcing the most dramatic change of all, a move that is unprecedented in American history.

I am announcing here and now, that I, George W. Bush, president of the United States, has changed my political affiliation from Republican to Democrat, effective immediately!

To cynics in the media and jaded politicians on both sides of the aisle, do not misinterpret this move as a political act of desperation, or a public relations ploy.

Let the truth ring reverberate load and clear: George W. Bush has changed his long-held political allegiance in order to accommodate the will of the American people. Period!

For my new Democratic colleagues, please rest assured that we already share many common goals and ideals.

Indeed, when it comes to illegal immigration, open borders, bilingual everything, coddling Muslims, No Child Left Behind, trillions for new entitlement programs, out-of-control spending, and massive federal debts, I have been a dedicated liberal for several years.

Of course, we do differ on the war in Iraq. In this regard, as the new leader of the Democrat party, I am hereby ordering Speaker Pelosi and Senate Leader Reid to join me in embracing the “surge” strategy that America needs to win the war on terror.

Finally, in order to manage a smooth transition of my administration from Republican to Democrat, I have asked Howard Dean to replace Karl Rove in the White House, also effective immediately.

As your new Democrat president, I promise to work tirelessly for the American people in pursuit of goals that will advance the interests of America and its people, in the most leftward direction humanly possible.

Thank you.”
