2-23-2011 The Weekly Claw

Another week full of crazy happenings has come and gone. Since the Libyan situation is so fluid (who knows if Gaddhafi Duck will still be in power, or even alive, by the time y’all read this), I’ll leave it alone except to say that it (and our lack of drilling, refinery building, and nuclear power plant building) will cause us to pay through the nose for all forms of power over the next few weeks.

Jimmy “The now-2nd worst President in American history” Carter has now weighed in on the Egypt situation. “The demonstrators will not accept anything less than honest, fair and open elections," he said, adding that his foundation, the Carter Center, will be as "involved as possible" in bringing about successful Egyptian elections in September. That, of course, means that the elections will be rigged in favor of whoever hates real freedom and America the most. The Carter Center has certified obviously rigged elections in a number of nations, and Jimmy is already supporting one group in this power struggle. “I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming political situation and the evolution I see as most likely," Carter said. "They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and true democracy.” Spoken like a true anti-American, anti-Israeli dhimmi.

If ya still don’t believe that the goal of Islam is world conquest, and that the USA is one of their targets, check out this link. Yes, there’s gonna be a rally outside the White House to call on all muslims in America to unite to establish Sharia Law across our nation. Will the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue send his greetings and support?

B. Hussein Obama is once again displaying his hatred toward Israel, this time by having the official US position to be in support of a rebuke of Israel for having the unmitigated gall to build housing for Israelis within the borders of Israel. For those of you who don’t understand, the arabs tried to exterminate Israel in 1967 and 1973, and in doing so lost control of Gaza, Sinai, Golan Heights, and West Bank. Since Israel gained those lands in war launched by the arabs, those lands are rightfully Israeli.

Y’all ain’t gonna believe this one. Tax Cheat Timmy Geithner, the Secretary of the Treasury for those of you “educated” by Wisconsin’s public school teachers, actually admitted in Congressional testimony that some of the obligations in the latest budget proposal by his boss (Obama, not Soros) are “unsustainable”. I’d say it’s about time that someone in this Administration was able to face reality.

“The goals of the stimulus act have been met.” Such was the pronouncement by the White House this past week, ironically on the same day that the unemployment numbers went back up to 10%. What goals have been met? Most of the money that has been publicly accounted for went to keep a few states from needing a bailout in an election year. The only goal that I can think of that has been met is getting the national debt to 100% of the whole American economy, which is a major stepping stone on the path to our nation’s collapse. Is THAT the actual goal of this Administration? The Magic Eight Ball says “All signs point to yes!”

Even CNN is wondering where the “stimulus” is.

Oh, and about that “civility” thing, I guess the folks at the Wisconsin rally sponsored by the Barack Obama founded group Organizing For America didn’t get the message. When will these left wing idiots realize that the National Socialist Workers Party was much more in line with their own socialist beliefs than the beliefs of the Constitution-loving conservatives that they keep calling Nazis? Oh, that’s right. These are union teachers we’re talking about, which means that such things as FACTS and HISTORY are meaningless to them. Anyway, here’s a bunch more signs from the union rally, but I must warn you that the language is NOT school age child-friendly!

A man who was an assistant to the Nazis in his native Hungary is actually calling Fox News a Nazi network, because they have the audacity to expose him and his anti-American organizations. Sorry, Nazi-boy, but we are on to your lies and manipulation.

More on the civility front. In Madison, Wisconsin, the Tea Party had a counter-rally to support the Governor, and liberal union thugs tried to shut them down by ripping the wires out of the speaker system. How typical of the anti-Constitutionalists who only support the First Amendment when it is their own people who are speaking.

But seriously, the left is trying to be civil, right? Let’s see what a Congresscritter has to say about the Wisconsin situation, “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.” Okay, maybe they aren’t up to being civil after all. It looks like old-fashioned union and left wing thuggery is back on the menu. That ought to really win over the hearts and minds of mainstream America!

Those teachers in Wisconsin don’t need to just be forced to pay for some of their health care and pensions. Most of them need to be fired, since their job performance in math instruction and in reading instruction is absolutely horrible.

The big liberal universities used to claim that their opposition to the military and ROTC was based upon “don’t ask, don’t tell”, but now that DADT has been repealed, they are still in opposition. Their hatred for the military is now on display openly at Columbia. President Crawfish would end all federal funding to any university that did not welcome and support ROTC.

Who do you think they want to fund this? Yes, those idiots at the Useless Nations want a basic standard of living and health care for all people on earth, and of course they want the successful economies (all capitalistic) to fund this socialist bovine excrement.

Let’s see, a federal judge declares a law unConstitutional, but the Obama Administration says that they will implement it anyway, because it is their political desire and the law doesn’t matter. Next, a law that has been upheld in the courts is under appeal, and His Majesty decides that HE believes it to be unConstitutional, so the Eric Holder Injustice Department will no longer defend that law in court, which they are required to do. When exactly did Barack Obama gain imperial powers?

2-16-2011 The Weekly Claw

We’ll start off this edition of The Claw with some news for those gullible people who believe The Prophet Algoracle and the rest of the Glo-Bull Warming cultists.

Do ya think that will be enough to change the minds of those people who keep trying to tell me that I’m the nutcase and that global warming is real? Yeah, I know, they’ll still be screaming “GLOBAL WARMING” when the next ice age begins.

Oh, and this one also includes graphs of temperature data during the ice ages. Some of you will notice that we had some “global warming” after those periods, which lead to the ice retreating away from the continental US. We must have had too many SUVs then. Of course, there was also the Medieval Warm Period, during which there were wine grape vineyards all the way to northern England. I guess they had too many SUVs as well. Oh, and the shrinking polar ice caps on Mars…SUVs? In other words…CLIMATE CHANGE IS CYCLICAL AND NOT MAN-MADE!

this is a pretty neat video. I just wonder how many takes some of those took.

Here’s something that’s bound to make you puke. A nice little sum of $38,000,000.00+ has been taken from the American taxpayers, plus another $20,000,000.00+ from the people of Taxachusetts, to build the Teddythedrunk (D-Chappaquiddick)…, er, Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. This is supposedly going to be a museum and a non-partisan institute of educating people about our government. In reality it will be an unnecessary monument to one of the worst politicians in our nation’s history, and a murderer to boot. Thanks to regular Claw contributor Buck for that nauseating story.

Since we now appear to be a complete global weakling, even Argentina is sticking their finger in our eye. Will President Obama have any response?

Do ya think our efforts at nation building in Afghanistan have worked for the people? Take a look at the new rules for women in need of shelter. They have to be checked to see if they are virgins before being admitted to a shelter? Once again, Islam was created by Mohammed to appeal to the young, uneducated, arab males.

Is it obvious YET that Barack Obama has put idiots, incompetents, and anti-Americans in charge of as much of our government as possible so as to fulfill two of his main goals (to make himself look brilliant in comparison to them and to bring about the downfall of our Constitutional republic)? His Director of National Intelligence came out and stated that the Muslim Brotherhood is “largely secular” just hours after the Brotherhood stated that their goal is Sharia Law in Egypt. And the award for Moron of the Week goes to…

I am not the only one who says that President Obama is openly and intentionally supporting the agenda of Islam. When will the American media and the Republican Party start waking up to the obvious?

It looks like the Iranian people are going to give Obama another chance to support the PEOPLE in anti-government protests in a Middle Eastern nation. Will he take the side of democracy and the people, or will he default to his true form and support the Islamic theocracy?

I mentioned last week how President Obama could only come up with a measly $775 million of cuts from his budget, which has a deficit of over $1.5 TRILLION. Well, I may have spoke a bit too soon, as he is now proposing another cut of $3 billion, but not until the next budget. He’s suggesting this cut in a program that gives energy assistance to poor people! If a Republican was to suggest that cut, the liberal media would be screaming bloody murder (literally!), but they seem oddly silent now.

So how does Barack Obama plan to confront the deficit, which has added over $5 TRILLION since Pelosi-Reid took over Congress and over $3 TRILLION since The Chosen One assumed the throne? Well, his recently suggested spending cuts will reduce the average deficit over the next 10 years to just a bit over a TRILLION PER YEAR, but we can all be saved by raising taxes! Yes, the standard liberal cure for all economic woes is to kill the economy by raising taxes, in this case by $1.5 TRILLION over the next decade (which is just a drop in the bucket compared to his increased spending). Here’s another look at the bovine excrement that is Obama’s budget process, and the completely unrealistic projections his people use. His actual budget proposals, released on Valentine’s Day, would actually double the national debt within ten years. That’s doubling the debt that he has already increased by over 60% since he became a Senator. It would in reality be almost TRIPLING the debt that we had accumulated before the Democratic takeover of the House in January of 2007.

Damn those far-right Texans! They are considering seceding! Oh, not from the USA, just from the federal Medicare and CHIP programs, since under Obamacare those programs will cost the state billions more than the current versions. The Crawfish likes State Representative Warren Chisum!

Never put it past liberals to break laws and perform cover ups in order to gain political points, with their lapdogs in the media assisting the cover up. In this case, the lawbreaking was in an attempt to subvert the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and it resulted in the murder of a federal law enforcement officer. Eric Holder needs to be brought up on accessory to murder charges.

Whenever you hear the left wingnuts calling conservatives “Nazis”, just remember that the main puppetmaster behind moveon.org, the DNC, and Barack Hussein Obama is none other than George Soros, who has admitted multiple times to assisting the Nazis with their “final solution” actions against the Jews (including parts of his own family) in Hungary. Notice that one of his own quotes is “I do not accept the rules imposed by others.”

Congrats, oh Reader of TOTUS! You have successfully raised the national debt to approximately 100% of our national economy. Now he says that he’s going to lower the deficit by $1.1 trillion over the next decade, which is a measly $110 billion per year, while you have raised it by over $1.5 trillion per year. EPIC FAIL!

John Wiley Price has been an embarrassment to Dallas County for 30+ years. He only gets re-elected County Commissioner because he is a race-baiter and agitator, and that sells in southern Dallas.

2-9-2011 The Weekly Claw

If we get any more Glo-Bull Warming around here, I might get frostbite.

Senate Democrats have now made it official. They want American taxpayers to pay for abortions, and will oppose any effort to restrict federal funds for abortions. Let them now be known as the Baby Killing Party.

Those of us who have been paying attention have been trying to inform the rest of the nation about how Barack Obama hates all things American and wants to bring our nation and our traditional allies down. It is obvious that he wants the world to be run by socialists and a grand Islamic Caliphate. He denigrates Christianity, while supporting Islam whenever possible. He opposes secret ballots for union elections. He opposes requiring people to prove that they are eligible voters and US citizens when they vote. He opposes Constitutional limits on government, and calls people who believe in the Constitution “extremists”. He refuses to even attempt to secure our borders. He sells out Israel at every given opportunity, while supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He gave absolutely no support to democracy demonstrators in Iran, who opposed a muslim state government, but supports those in Egypt who are linked to a known muslim terrorist group that desires a pan-arabian Caliphate. Now, he has done it again. In negotiating the new START treaty, Barack Obama allowed the Russians to insert language that makes it illegal for the United States to work on ANY kind of missile defense program, but he and the Democrats say that there is no such language in the treaty. He also gave the Russians detailed information about BRITAIN’S nuclear arsenal after the Brits told him not to do so.

Back to the Egypt situation for a moment. In June of 2009, protesters were dying in the streets of Iran, trying to overthrow a hard-line theocratic government and bring democracy to their nation. Barack Obama, along with the United Nations, refused to lift a finger to assist the demonstrators. Now, he and the UN are all about supporting the demonstrators in the streets of Egypt and demanding the ouster of Mubarak. It is quite clear that Obama and the UN will support supporters of Islamic terrorism (Iran’s Mad Mullahs and the Muslim Brotherhood, which spawned Hamas and Al Qaida) at every chance.

Of course, if the Middle East situation gets messy, the price of oil will skyrocket. That fits right in with Obama’s plans to ruin our nation: No drilling off the coast of Florida (even though the Chinese are doing it), no drilling in the Gulf, no drilling in ANWR, no new drilling ANYWHERE, no new refineries, no new nuclear power plants, no new coal-fired power plants…do the math.

Before the Super Bowl, President Obama sat down for an interview with Bill O’Reilly of Fox News. O’Reilly could have hammered him and called him on his lies, but he remained civil. One of the biggest lies was, “I didn’t raise taxes once. I lowered taxes over the last two years. I lowered taxes for the last two years.” The list of his new and/or increased taxes is not short at all, and most of them violate his “firm pledge” from the campaign that no American making less than $250,000.00 per year would see “any form of tax increase.” This guy is a bigger liar than William Jefferson Clinton!

Many members of the lamestream media keep saying how the uprisings in the arab world are all about bringing forth real democracy, and that we should just stay out of it, this despite the fact that the only democracies in the Middle East are found in Iraq and Israel, and Iraq’s is only working because the USA was there to set it up and get it running. Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau nailed it when he wrote, “People accustomed to masters will not let mastery cease … Mistaking liberty for unchained license, they are delivered by their revolutions into the hands of seducers who will only aggravate their chains.”

In 2007 and 2008, those of us who believe in conservative principles and the Constitution warned y’all about John Mc Cain and his fake conservative credentials. His ego demands that he be liked by everybody, so he sells out conservatives and works with the extreme left in order to get praise from the media. Now he is saying that Barack Obama is “much more centrist” and “easier to work with.” The most extreme left wing President in history is “much more centrist”? John McCain’s last functioning brain cell must have committed suicide last week. GunnyG has a good rant about the GOP and their bad habit of putting forth liberals who claim to be conservatives.

Mayor Bloomberg of Noo Yawk once claimed to be a Republican, but that was just to avoid the Democratic primary in the mayoral race. Now he’s just another liberal, free-spending, holier-than-thou, wanna-be prince living high on the public dime. Why in the world does a MAYOR need THREE personal chefs at a cost of $245,000.00 per year? In any regular city in America, the Mayor goes home to his own house at night, instead of a taxpayer-funded mansion, and either dines at a restaurant or eats whatever comes from his own kitchen.

Ya gotta love those peaceful muslims and their treatment of women. Really, how can the Democrats keep supporting these people? In Pakistan, a 14 year old girl gets raped by a married 40 year old relative, so muslim law says SHE is guilty of adultery. A fatwa is issued, and she is publicly whipped to death. The pedophile Mohammed, who would approve of this action, designed his fake religion to appeal to the mindset of young, uneducated, arab males in order to raise an army of conquest. Peaceful religion my arse!

Is there really any doubt as to how the Obama Administration feels about the authority of the federal courts when they are in opposition to The Chosen One? The judge that overturned the Administration’s ban on offshore drilling has ruled that the government is in contempt of his ruling, since it has not lifted the moratorium. Officially, the moratorium is lifted, but no new permits have been allowed.

Meanwhile, the Administration is now saying that they don’t care that a federal judge has ruled ALL of Obamacare unConstitutional. They are going to implement it anyway! Yes, Barack Obama has now declared himself to be above the courts, just like any good dictator.

While micHELLe has been trying to force restaurants to bend to her will and offer smaller servings and healthier food, check out what was on the menu at the White House for their Super Bowl party. Just another case of do what I say, not as I do, from the most elitist snob ever to occupy that residence.

The FY11 budget sits at a whopping $3,800,000,000,000.00 (that’s 3.8 TRILLION for those of you who were “educated” by union teachers). The projected DEFECIT is $1,500,000,000,000.00, which is 39% of the budget. Yes, almost 4 out of every 10 dollars that he wants to spend is getting paid for by future generations. Well, under pressure from We The People, His Majesty has now coughed up some “tough budget cuts” that he’s willing to consider. Doug Ross puts it all in pie graph form, so that even a union teacher-educated liberal can somewhat understand. The size of the deficit and the lack of size of the “tough budget cuts” boggle the mind. John McEnroe gives the appropriate response to His Majesty.

PresBo can’t come up with any meaningful budget cuts, but he can come up with another fifty-three BILLION dollars for high speed rail service. Folks, passenger rail service in our nation has very low ridership, with the exception of the DC-Filthadelphia-Noo Yawk-Bahston corridor, and loses millions of dollars every year, which is picked up by you and I, the American taxpayers. Instead of injecting billions more into that sewer, just because Joe Biden likes to ride the choo-choo, it is time to END all federal rail subsidies, and let those people who use the services be the ones who pay for it.

It has been a while since I featured a Dan Calabrese column from North Star National. This week, Dan examines Barack Obama’s address to the US Chamber of Commerce, and why the audience was less than enthusiastic about his message.

2-3-2011 The Weekly Claw

The Crawfish apologizes for the tardiness and brevity of this week’s edition. Thanks to our local Glo-Bull Warming (thanx, Algore!) and some incorrect original installation, our television/internet/phone service was completely out for three days. Mrs. Crawfish was stuck at home for three days with two junior crustaceans and no cable or internet………not good!

A federal judge has ruled that Obamacare’s individual mandate is indeed unConstitutional, and since it is a key part of the whole bill, then the whole bill is unConstitutional. Since the judge upheld the Constitution, the Obama Administration immediately called him an “activist” judge, a term which is usually reserved for judges who make decisions that violate the Constitution because it doesn’t meet their political desires. This judge, however, used the actual words of Madison and even Obama himself in his brilliantly written decision. Then again, anyone who believes in the actual words of the Constitution is an “extremist” according to this Administration and the liberal media. They do love to completely twist the English language, don’t they?

How can anyone really take Democratic politicians seriously on Constitutional matters? One of their senior Senators, who has a history of opposing the 2nd Amendment and just about every other part of the Constitution, believes that the three branches of our government do not include the Judicial Branch. “We have a House. We have the Senate, and we have the President.” Upchuck Schumer, aka Chuckie the Gun Grabber…Constitutional moron.

Speaking of morons, we present (again) MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. Here’s his take on the unrest in Egypt: “Unrest in Egypt. Proving the Iraq war wasn`t needed, these protests in Egypt, as well as in Yemen and Tunisia, are all aimed at dictators supported by the U.S. The demonstrations have not yet turned anti-American, but they could. These are the events the Bush administration hoped to encourage by lying about weapons of mass destruction and invading Iraq.” Yep, “BLAME BUSH THE LYING BASTARD!” He actually believes that the Bush Administration WANTED an Iranian-style revolution in Egypt? Uh, Chris…Bush didn’t want Egypt to be run by a Sharia government, but your boy Obama does.

The Israelis know what’s going on in Egypt, and they know that the United States government is stabbing Mubarak in the back. Israel needs a stable Egypt that is not run my Islamic militants like the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is handling this like the second coming of James Earl Carter. The only difference is that Carter was a dope who had no clue as to what he was doing and what the consequences would be. Obama is hoping that Egypt goes the way of Iran in 1979.

Mohammed ElBaradei is a former Nobel Prize winner. He also covered up for Iran’s nuke program and Saddam’s WMD programs for years. Now he is proclaiming that the Egyptian people are mandating that he and the Muslim Brotherhood form a new government. He also claims that the Muslim Brotherhood is in no way an extremist or terrorist organization. They only founded Hamas, assassinated Anwar Sadat for making peace with Israel, and have carried out many attacks against Christians throughout Egypt. Their motto is: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.” Actually, The Crawfish agrees with ElBaradei, because that is not Islamic extremism. It is EXACTLY what that religion was designed to be when it was created by Mohammed the Pedophile.

This just in, the Obama Administration has lifted the banning of an Egyptian leader of the Muslim Brotherhood from entering the US. Coincidence, or do they expect him to be the next Egyptian Ambassador? Well, the Administration says it does see a role for the Muslim Brotherhood to play in the new Egyptian government.

It gets better. Did y’all know that the unrest in the muslim world is NOT caused by muslims? Nope, it is caused by GLOBAL WARMING! Al Gore’s cult really has lost their 3 remaining brain cells.

Soooooooo, as we really expected, the Corruptionois Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision that stated, in effect, “Laws in the state of Illinois, especially when it comes to elections, do not mean what they say. They mean whatever the Democratic political machine of Chicago WANTS them to say.” The residency requirement in Chicago election law says that a candidate for city elected post must have resided in the city for the full year prior to the election. The state court of appeals said that since Rahm Emanuel had lived in DC and had rented out his home in Chicago (yes, OTHER people lived in that house, not the Emanuel family), that he had not actually resided in the city. Notice how the State Supremes worded their decision: “This court’s decision is based on the following and only on the following: (1) what it means to be a resident for election purposes was clearly established long ago, and Illinois law has been consistent on the matter since at least the 19th Century; (2) the novel standard adopted by the appellate court majority is without any foundation in Illinois law; (3) the Board’s factual findings were not against the manifest weight of the evidence; and (4) the Board’s decision was not clearly erroneous.” Yes, actually saying that the word “reside” means “to live in a place permanently or for an extended period” is a “novel standard”. The State Supremes believe that for 150 years the word has meant “owns property that other people live in”. If the state willfully violates its own election laws, then what are they doing in regard to federal election laws? Until they abide by their own laws, no Illinois ballot in any election involving any federal office should be counted.

I would go on a rant about Obamacare and the lies associated with it, but theblogprof does it soooo much better.
