The Weekly Claw 5-5-2010

The Crawfish really could have gone completely nuts with this week’s post, but since I am including the list of House members who voted for Obamacare, I kept it to about the normal length.

Where’s the outrage? “Schoolbus Ray” “Chocolate City” Nagin and Kathleen Babineaux Blanco violated Louisiana state laws in regards to mandatory hurricane evacuations and levee maintenance, causing a lot of problems that were avoided in Mississippi (which was hit harder, but had fewer casualties and rebuilt faster because of the leadership of Governor Haley Barbour and the hard work of a state populated by non-leeches). As a result, the media and the leftists, but I repeat myself, spent 5 years blasting George W. Bush for not having the federal government mitigate the damage and get N’awlins completely rebuilt within a week. Now the Obama Administration fails to implement an oil spill plan that has been in place since 1994, and the media ignores it completely, preferring to pillory Big Oil. Meanwhile, despite doing almost nothing for a week, the Administration’s people are talking to every media outlet they can find insisting that they’ve been in action “from Day One”.

Although Homeland Security Ditz Napolitano has taken control of the federal response to the oil spill, that is supposed to be the job of the Secretary of the Interior. So what was Interior Department Chief of Staff Tom Strickland doing during the first week of the oil spill crisis? Was he all over it “from Day One”? Actually, starting three days after the leak was discovered, Strickland took a trip to the Grand Canyon to go rafting with his wife.

By the way…take a guess as to who was the number one recipient of campaign donations from BP in 2008.

A terrorist attack on Noo Yawk City was attempted over the weekend. The Crawfish somehow doesn’t believe that a Pakistani-born muslim who has spent a lot of the past year in the tribal areas of Pakistan really fits the normal description of the people who are considered the major violent threat to the American public. You know…those Tea Party Extremists.

The Obamedia TRIED as best they could to blame white right wing extremists, but to no avail. They even got Noo Yawk City Mayah Bloomberg to blame right wing anti-Obama folks. MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer even expressed sorrow that the terrorist was a muslim instead of someone who supports the Constitution.

By the way, it has been reported by the Affirmative Action Attorney General’s Injustice Department that the muslim terrorist was placed on the “No-Fly List” by the FBI a few hours before he went to JFK Airport, but it is quite obvious that Holder’s people are (SURPRISE!!!) lying yet again. If he had been on the list, the ticket agents at Emirates Airlines would not have sold him the ticket with which he boarded a flight for Dubai. Instead, it was the ticket agents who alerted airport authorities when the muslim terrorist paid for a ticket at the last minute with cash and had no luggage.

The Federales who caught the terrorist may have done so in an illegal manner, using the Army to find him. That would violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which forbids the US Armed Forces from performing law enforcement activities within the borders of the United States. Remember this the next time a liberal complains about George W. Bush’s wiretapping of international phone calls.

The Obama Administration and their minions in the media have continually belittled the Tea Party events, and referred to them as “extremists” for wanting to return our government to its Constitutional bounds. They say that the Tea Party protests are calls for revolution and anti-American activities. So which protests really call for revolution? Which call for the abolishment of our borders? Which are conducted mostly in the language of another nation? Which support the violation of our laws? Which are violent and call for the return of our country to Mexico? Take a look at this video featuring the protests from this past weekend and tell me that it really is the Tea Party crowd that is America’s enemy. Where is the media denouncing this? Oh, that’s right…they support the open borders far left crowd. A tip of The Crawfish’s hat goes to Ron of the Poll Katz for the link to this video.

The non-drybacks who were protesting don’t just want amnesty. “JudyL516” sent me a link to this photo from the protests. Look at what they expect from us!

Those of us who are not “fashionistas” have been noticing since early in the campaign that Michelle Obama’s outfits have been absolutely horrid. At his victory rally her dress looked like a cross between a black widow spider and Aunt Jemima. Now, her fashion designer is going out of business. Well, if you make the First Lady look like crap multiple times, some folks are gonna notice! Is that why Maria Pinto is going out of business?

The Chicago Way style of politics hasn’t fully moved to the District of Corruption. Some of it is still active in Chicago, where the local CBS station is going to refuse to cover the GOP candidate in his bid to take the seat once occupied on a part-time basis by Barack Obama. It seems that he is pinging on his Dim-ocrat opponent’s involvement with a bank failure and the liberals don’t like it when they’re caught up in corruption scandals.

The public union thugs of Greece are striking and committing violent acts to protest the German bailout of the Greek government. (Wait a sec…leftists aren’t supposed to be violent in their protests, right?) It seems that the German government made a few demands upon the Greek government as conditions for the deal. One of these conditions is that public union employees and retirees must only get paid for 12 months every year. I know, you think The Crawfish is off his rocker since there are only 12 months in a year, but the Greeks currently give their public union thugs and retirees 14 months of pay every year. Liberal math strikes again.

In Britainistan it is public policy to appease the muslims who spew their hate, call for the deaths of all who oppose the False Prophet, and implement Sharia Law in some towns, but if a Christian preacher mentions that homosexuality, THAT MAN MUST BE THROWN IN JAIL!

“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” Does that quote give any of y’all an insight into the mind of Barack Obama? He wants the gummint to decide how much money is “fairly earned” and tax the rest of it out of your wallets, unless you are a good liberal. He made over $5 million last year. Is that over his “certain point”? What about Ryan Howard, who just signed a contract extension in baseball that will pay him $25 million per year for playing a game?

Regular Claw contributor “Buck” sends us a column by Real Man Chuck Norris. The UN wants desperately to ban private ownership of weapons around the world, and the Obama Administration, the Democratic Party, and all of the anti-American leftists want the same. How hard would it be for them to use an international treaty to void the Second Amendment?

The people of Arizona are getting slandered daily by the left over their attempts to make US immigration law mean something. How has the far-left media screwed this pooch? Let’s take a look.

If y’all come across any weird/stoooopid/strange news stories that might be fodder for The Weekly Claw or The Weekend Claw, e-mail them to me at CrawfishsClaw@yahoo.com and I’ll consider ‘em. Yes, I will give you newshounds credit.

"Freedom- no word was ever spoken that has held out greater hope, demanded greater sacrifice, needed to be nurtured, blessed more the giver, damned more its destroyers, or come closer to being God’s will on earth, and I think that’s worth fighting for if necessary." – General of the Army Omar N. Bradley
