Suddenly, Iran Gets Sensitive?

 Article Link  The country of Iran is threatening to boycott the 2012 games because they feel the logo (above) is racist.  Apparently, when they look at it, they see the word "Zion".  That is quite the revelation from a nation that still practices the stoning of women for committing adultery.  Alternative logo suggestion?  An image of the prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban?

 

Prank, Pizza and Politics

Prank:  Liberals are all excited about a prank phone call to Gov. Walker...I think the last time I got excited about a prank phone call, I was in the 4th grade.  Liberal pundits think this is some kind of smoking gun.  Gov. Walker said in the phone call that he wants to bust up public service unions...is that news?  That is obviously what is trying to do.  No scandal there.  Libs also think that the fact that he gave 20 minutes of his time to (who he thought was) a billionaire who donated the max to his campaign is somehow a sign that he is in the pocket of his donors and is an elitist.  Seriously?  I mean, who called who here?  So, you're tell me that if George Soros calls President Obama he wouldn't talk to him?  Every lib pundit that I hear comment on this, so called scandal, really has nothing of substance that came from this prank call.  I think they are just tickled at the fact that the Gov. was fooled in the first place.  To libs, I guess it's all a joke.  Article Link

Pizza Party:  A pizza joint in Madison, WI, called Ian's Pizza, is getting notoriety around the world because it has donated free pizza to the protesters in Wisconsin.  NPR did a feature on them.  The NPR radio story was slobbering all over this pizza place.  NPR was clearly showing its support for them, basically saying how neat it was that they were doing this.  This was not an opinion piece, it was a news piece.  The fact that tax payer sponsored NPR ran this bias story is only part of the story.  I wonder if Ian's Pizza allows their employees to partake in collective bargaining?  Do they pay their pizza delivery guys more than minimum wage?  They have every right to take a side in this issue, they are a privately funded company, but they are supporting the idea of using tax dollars to fund collective bargaining for public service unions while not providing it for their own workers?  If it is such a good idea, then why not have it for your own people?    Story Link   

KPIR says:  I'm not sure how this is all going to play out, but what I do know is that if Gov. Walker is wanting to be like Reagan, it doesn't look good for the unions.  Reagan said he would fire the Air Traffic Controllers, and he did.  Gov. Walker is threatening to do the same.  And the libs may be giddy about their prank phone call and democrats running out of state to avoid the vote, but are those really mature things to do?  You are not going to sway public opinion by acting like a someone in grade K.  (to refresh what it means to be a grade k'er, see my archived posts)

Happy (Bash Our) Presidents Day from Yahoo!

     Well happy President's Day everyone!  The day in which we celebrate the contributions of our Chief Executives past and current.  Right?  Wrong.  Apparently, yahoo.com's homepage decided to have a story pop up front and center titled "Story behind the 'blackest name' in America."  Racial identity?  Conflict on slavery?  Really?  Do we need to go there?  Why not post a headline that reads "Happy President's Day...Remember that Jefferson Owned Slaves!"  It is no secret that I have a real problem with Yahoo.com's constant liberal biased flash videos that appear on its site.  For example, during the month of February they have been running a black history month flash tribute that includes Harriet Tubman and Barack Obama.  However, on the 9th anniversay of the terror attacks of 9/11, they included zero such tribute.
     I'm not advocating for a dishonest discussion of American History, but the bias here is clear.  I promise on the next MLK jr Day you will not see Yahoo! running a homepage news story about how he was a complete womanizer.  It appears that American patriotism has been reduced in the mainstream media to reflect that of intolerance and hatred.  Liberals believe that to bash America is just another way to declare how faithful of a liberal you are...sort of like chaining yourself to a tree so a bulldozer can't knock it it down.
     On this President's day of 2011, let us remember the honor of the office and the great symbol and strength that it represents to us and around the world.  How about a tribute Yahoo?  Maybe next time.

Donkeys on the Run!

MADISON, Wis. – Democrats on the run in Wisconsin avoided state troopers Friday and threatened to stay in hiding for weeks, potentially paralyzing the state government in a standoff with majority Republicans over union rights for public employees.  article link

KPIR says:  Typically, a headline that reads "Democrats plan to stay away for weeks" sounds wonderful, but this just brings shame to our entire system of democracy.  First of all, could you image if these were republicans leaving the state to avoid bringing the bill to a vote?  Remember how the media always seemed to slam republicans when they all voted in sync against the health care bill in congress?  The media and democrats demonized them because they were acting in such a partisan way.  FLASHBACK:  Bill Clinton rips on republicans for being 'obstructionists' against health care reform. (Huffingtonpost Article)  At least republicans show up to vote instead of running away.  If you think about it, this is normal...democrats are used to running away from being present during a vote...just look at President Obama.  FLASHBACK:  The "present" votes of Barack Obama.(Real Clear Politics Article)  The democrats in Wisconsin are probably just preparing their resume for a 2012 presidential run.  Abstaining from voting in congress worked for Obama in the Illinois General Assembly.  I guess the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree...but far enough away from Wisconsin State Troopers, apparently.

You want us to WHAT?

(Reuters) - "Iraq's capital wants the United States to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein."
Article Link
 KPIR says:  Here is a proposition for you:  we'll pay for that...you guys pay for our dead soldiers who sacrificed their lives for your freedom.  Where have you gone liberals like LBJ?  When France wanted our military out of their country because of Vietnam, he said, "if you want our military bases out, we want our dead soldiers dug up from Normandy and brought home."  I'm sure President Obama will hand over a blank check.

Leave it to Bieber

Hot off the presses:  "Canadian pop star Justin Bieber says he will never become an U.S. citizen because of the America’s health-care system.
“You guys are evil,” he jokingly tells Vanessa Grigoriadis in an upcoming interview with Rolling Stone. “Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”  "  Article Link

KPIR says:  Really?  I wonder how popular he would be if "evil" America didn't support him?  "Canada is the best country in the world?"  Really?  I thought Canada was our 51st state?  Maybe Obama was counting Canada when he said he visited all 57 States.  I would support ObamaCare if it meant that it would cure the world of its Bieber Fever.

Today in Headlines: Gitmo Meets Berkely and other musings!

BERKELEY, Calif. – "The Berkeley, Calif., City Council is considering a measure that would welcome freed Guantanamo Bay detainees to resettle in the college town".  Article Link
     -KPIR says:  Really?  Go for it Berkeley!  It's amazing how liberals think that Muslim Extremists will love them...the reality is, they will probably want to kill you.  If I was a Gitmo detainee, I would rather stay in Gitmo.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- "Missouri lawmakers endorsed measures Tuesday that could resurrect a requirement for voters to show government-issued photo identification in order to cast ballots."  Article Link
     -KPIR says:  What is wrong with this you ask?  Nothing, but for some reason liberals will protest law like this.  They think that asking someone for photo proof of who you are actually disenfranchises people.  The truth is, laws like this only uphold the sanctity of the vote.  This is a proactive attempt to prevent voter fraud...while liberals only care about combating voter fraud AFTER the first vote count doesn't end up in their favor.  Hopefully, Missouri will become the "Show Me" your ID State.

WASHINGTON – "The Senate on Tuesday voted to extend for 90 days the legal life of three post-Sept. 11 terrorism-fighting measures, including the use of roving wiretaps, that are set to expire at the end of the month." Article Link
     -KPIR says:  They voted in the U.S. Senate 86-12.  Why do these not equal to 100?  Who were the two to abstain?  Who ever they were, look for them to run for president in 2012 under the mantra of CHANGE and YES WE CAN.  Seriously, the Senate voted 86-12.  The Democratically controlled Senate voted to extend the Patriot Act.  Did I mention it was 86-12?  Talk about bi-partisan support.  Apparently, George W. Bush got this one right.  Who knew?

Apparently, the secret recipe for Coke has been discovered.  I wonder if WikiLeaks had anything to do with it.  I find it strange that Coke has been able to keep information secret better than the Obama Administration.  Maybe Obama should make the CEO of Coke the "Secrets Czar" or something unconstitutional like that.  Article Link

You're Welcome Egypt

     Let me see...this is just like I have been predicting.....and the events in Egypt very well may help solidify the legacy of GW Bush.  See, that is a prime example of how you can not judge a current president, or even a recently departed one, simply by their approval ratings (not helped by the left wing media mind you) at the end of GW's term....do you really think that democracy would be spreading in Egypt, Tunsia, and now the street protests happening in Iran, if GW Bush had not pushed for democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq?  If bush had left when the going got tough, terrorism would be king in Iraq, but its not.....there is democracy.....and now we have a foothold in two crucial parts in the middle east.....and President Obama wants to pull our military out?  The liberty loving folks over in the middle east are sustained by our presence, whether libs like it or not.....and like Ann Coulter said in her CPAC speech, "it's amazing how liberals finally love democracy in the middle east now."  So Mr. Liberal, regardless of  whether you think bush is a war criminal or not, (here is a hint: he is not)...there IS democracy spreading in the middle east and only Obama can mess it up now.....if he pulls a Jimmy Carter and fails to back the democratic side of the street protests, the region will be worse off.  If he pushes for democracy, like Bush did his ENTIRE presidency, Obama and Bush will go down in history like JFK and Reagan did.  Two different presidents, two different political parties, but with one goal in mind "spreading democracy by ending tyranny.".........the difference is though, you didn't hear Reagan running against JFK's push against tyranny (communism)......while you have Obama who still runs against Bush's record.  If Obama really wants to be like The Gipper, he better start acting like him and give respect to policies of the Bush Administration.  But as for now, Reagan, Obama is not.
