AmeriCAN-DO Attitude

Are you an AmeriCAN or an AmeriCAN’T?

This Got Me Strangely Aroused…

I am scrolling through reading the comments at this post at Ace of Spades HQ and I came across this one. Reading through it, I am thinking “this comment kicks major ass, bravo!” Then, I got to the end and saw that it was a female that posted it… major turn on!

I need to meet women with this fire…

You know what it’s just the cherry on top of the sundae (pun intended here). Obama has been in the White House for, what is it, 20 weeks now, and he’s taken more breaks and had more free time than even what they accused Bush of. He’s taken his wife to a Broadway show, he’s taken her back to Chicago for Valentine’s Day. He’s gone out for burgers multiple times. On their overseas trips he’s gone out for dinners with her. He’s played golf over and over and over again, he’s hosted countless parties in the White House, he’s flown all over the country to sign bills and give “town halls.”

Look, quite frankly I am sick and tired of hearing that Obama gets to have a normal life. F*** THAT he’s the F***ING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and I’d appreciate it if he’d starting acting like a President instead of a major movie star.

And, it isn’t Father’s Day today, it’s Father’s Day tomorrow, so if he needed to take his girls out for ice cream, it would have made more sense to do it tomorrow.

Oh yeah, and f*** you Palin Steele I’m so tired of your f***ing posts. Nothing you say is of value here. Absolutely nothing. You are an idiot and I can only hope that you grow up someday and realize what a f***ing idiot you were when you were young and do something good with your life to make up for it.

Seriously, if the man didn’t have a pattern of doing this sh*t, one trip for ice cream with the girls wouldn’t be a big deal. But he does, so frankly I think it’s OK if people want to be pissed off that he’s eating ice cream.

PGIS… freedom means you are free to go get ice cream and be a dipsh*t if you want.
You just can’t have it both ways. We call for freedom unless it’s someone we don’t like and we’re gonna tell them how to behave?

C’mon, this sh*t’s over the top. Big f***ing deal. It’s just the same old self centered clown.

I have no idea what you are trying to say to me, but my point still stands, if this was one instance of him doing something like that, yeah whatever, big deal, but he’s been pulling stuff like this for his entire Presidency so far. Dying your hair gray and feigning seriousness isn’t enough to be Presidential. You actually have to act Presidential too. And all I’ve seen from Obama is someone who is a huge narcissist who probably really should’ve been a major movie star instead of the leader of our country because he doesn’t have the gravitas that should come with that job.

Disagree with me, that’s fine, but at what point do all these “no big deal” excursions finally add up to a big deal?

And while I have no idea whether “eman” is a male or female, regardless, this comment is a great explanation of why we are giving sh*t to Obama and his media minions over this Ice Cream trip:

Giving Barry a pass on going for ice cream with his kids would be a lot easier if Barry had been b*tch-slapping Iran for the past several days. Not so easy when you know Barry has been stroking his own *ss in front of the mirror all this time.

Giving the MSM a pass on reporting fluff in a time of crisis would be easier if the MSM had been dutiful regarding Barry from day one.

Now, these two streams of narcissism and *ss-licking have merged right at the time when they can draw the most attention and ridicule.

You haven’t earned a pass, Barry.

You haven’t earned a pass, Mr. Knoller.

kbdabear has it right too:

23 C’mon Drew, geezus, do you expect the world to stop turning? I’m no fan of zero but posting a blog about shagging ice cream is about as stupid as PETA expressing outrage over a fly getting swatted… Big deal.

The point isn’t that Obama took the girls for ice cream while Worf was having her fangs cleaned.

The point is that events in Iran are constantly moving, people are being murdered in the streets, people want to know what’s going on, and the DemSM assigns an army of reporters to give us the very latest on his ice cream run.

As I’ve said, the DemSM should stick to what they do best, which is reporting on celebrity crotch shots and turn the real news over to serious people.

Once again folks, the outrage isn’t Teleprompter taking the girls out for ice cream, the outrage is that douchenozzles like Mark Knobpolisher and his fellow media trained seals thought that the trip was THE MOST IMPORTANT STORY IN THE WORLD

Posted by: kbdabear at June 20, 2009 05:51 PM

One more:

100 Meh, on the one hand, yeah, okay, the president is allowed to take his kids out for ice cream. On any other day, I’d shrug and just be vaguely annoyed that the MSM looks at it as a drool-worthy moment. I mean geesus, before the shop down the street closed my parents took me for ice cream ALL THE TIME. It doesn’t make him the BEST DAD EVAR and it certainly doesn’t make him the BEST PRESIDENT EVAR. The MSM really needs to stfu about the guy, because I’m already getting the wicked urge to take a sharpie to every picture I see of him. Which is hard when you work surrounded by magazine stands.

But today, yeah, it’s inappropriate. People are dying in Iran because they have the gall to ask for liberty. Not the best time for an ice cream run. If he had just waited until tomorrow, even conservative might say ‘okay, yeah, it’s Father’s Day. An hour off for ice cream is understandable.’ But today? Not so much.

Posted by: Revvy at June 20, 2009 05:33 PM

Okay, I lied. Had to post this one too:

You know what, I don’t give a flying F*** that Sasha and Malia don’t get as much quality time with their dad. Boo f***ing hoo – welcome to the stresses of having a dad with a difficult job. I’d go weeks without seeing my father because of his job. My son just got finished spending 7 months without his dad. I’ve got friends whose children don’t get to see their father for a year or more. That’s life girls, get used to it.

Unfreakingbelievable. Like someone above said, why doesn’t Barry just say “Sorry girls, Dad’s got sh*t to do?” Or how’s about getting the ice cream delivered — hell, they flew in pizza from f***ing Chicago after all — and they all eat it in the Oval Office? Hearing him say things like “I take the weekends off to spend with my family” pisses me off to no end. You know who CAN’T take the weekends off to spend time with their family? THE TROOPS, you f***ing waste of space. The guys who have sworn to defend the country YOU’RE supposed to be in charge of, ring a bell, douchebag?

Geesus Chr*st on a cracker, just when I thought I couldn’t despise this man any more…

NBC: President Obama is a Hater

That’s the obvious conclusion we should all have, based on the logic of NBC, which is calling people “haters” who want David Letterman fired for his tasteless, sexist jokes about Governor Sarah Palin and her 14-year old daughter, Willow. Afterall, Obama called for Don Imus to be fired for his tasteless “nappy headed hos” joke last year. Even going so far as to call it “verbal violence”! So NBC obviously must think that Obama is a hater!  Right?

Ya gotta love the big heaping pile full of blatant f***ing hypocrisy by the Left. Imagine if Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity made a joke about how Obama’s mother was a “whore” for getting knocked up with Barry out of wedlock when she was 18. Or how about them making a joke about Obama being a bastard child? That’s a laugh riot, ain’t it? Anyone think the mass media would call people “haters” if those people called for Limbaugh or Hannity to be fired for those jokes?

Yeah, me either.

The Obama Standard: Letterman Assaulted Sarah & Willow Palin

Great comment by “hit and run” at this HotAir Headlines post regarding David Letterman’s tasteless, sexist jokes about Governor Sarah Palin and her 14 year-old daughter Willow.

You know, I feel sorry for Don Imus. It’s like he was used for a specific, time-limited, politically-driven purpose — and has no more value as a lesson in how ill-chosen, sexually-charged and hateful words directed at young women are intolerable in our society.

He was used this way by people like, oh, I don’t know, say, Barack Obama:

There’s also another kind of violence though that we’re gonna have to think about. It’s not necessarily physical violence but that the violence that we perpetrate on each other in other ways. Last week, the big news, obviously, had to do with Imus and the verbal violence that was directed at young women who were role models for all of us, role models for my daughter. I spend, along with my wife, a lot of time making sure that my two young daughters, who are gorgeous and tall and I hope will get basketball scholarships, that they feel good about who they are and that they understand they can do whatever they can dream might be possible. And for them to be degraded, or to see someone who looks like them degraded, that’s a form of violence – it may be quiet, it may not surface to the same level of the tragedy we read about today and we mourn, but it is violence nonethesame.

The verbal violence of Imus degrading the Rutgers women was enough for Obama to call for Imus’s resignation.

Oh, and yeah, Obama certainly does NOT consider Bristol to be a “role model for [his] daughters” because she decided to accept her “punishment” and carry, deliver and now raise precious little Tripp.

hit and run on June 13, 2009 at 11:00 PM

I wait with baited breath for the Left to use the same standard as their messiah and call what David Letterman said about Sarah Palin and her daughter Willow “verbal violence”, as well as call for his resignation.

First They Came for the Banks…

In the spirit of the original “First They Came…” and the later versions, when a friend of mine posted this video and commented “She’s got it right… if anyone thinks this is going to stop @ auto dealerships they’ve got their head in the sand,” it inspired me to write the following:

First they came for the banks, and the people were silent, because “screw the rich!”

Then they came for executive salaries, and the people were silent, because “screw the rich!”

Then they came for the auto dealerships, and the people were silent, because “screw the auto companies!”

Then they came for me, and the people were silent, because… they came for them too.

When the Right Goes Left

Ugh.

I agree with the ‘morons’ over at Ace of Spades HQ probably 90% of the time, but here is a prime example of that 10% where I part ways: Going Alinsky on Letterman

Okay, “going Alinsky on Letterman” I can definitely support. It’s the way they are “going Alinsky” which I cannot support: boycotts and “Fire Letterman!” rallies.

I’m against boycotts, as I have stated previously with regards to The View, HERE and HERE. I’m one who advocates “if you don’t like something, DON’T WATCH IT”. Don’t like Limbaugh? Don’t listen to him. Don’t like Letterman, don’t watch him. Don’t like the vapid dopes on The View, don’t watch them. Don’t like Hannity (which I don’t), don’t watch him.

I left this comment on a Facebook discussion of this:

Seriously, the Left is MUCH more active at this crap. Do people like when the Leftist tools organize to complain to Facebook to have conservatives kicked off Facebook? The answer to that is not to start practicing that immature crap ourselves. Same thing applies here. I know there are a lot of Glenn Beck fans on my Friends list. Would they like the Left organizing something like this to kick him off the air, simply because they didn’t like what he said?

What happened to free market principles where a business or product succeeds or fails on its own merit? If Letterman gets an audience for his crap, more power to him. That says more about the sorry-ass state of the attitudes of Americans than it does about CBS and David Letterman.

Personally, I think American Idol — and basically any other “reality” TV show — is crap and want it off the air. But instead of being an ass and organizing against it, I simply don’t watch it and mock anyone who does. (heh) Very simple, see. :)

Seriously, I can’t stand this boycott crap. Boycott by changing the channel.

Ya know, someone (not the Ace of Spades HQ “someone”, but just someone in general) needs to explain to me how using mob-rule tactics to bully a business into firing someone we don’t like is any different than the tactics of the Lefty anti-Prop 8 mobs. They didn’t like how a business voted, so they advocated boycotts of their businesses. How is this any different? Don’t like a joke, so we grab our pitchforks and organize to destroy them? What happened to standing up for Americans to have the freedom to watch and listen to anything they so choose, even when it’s tasteless crap.

Also, how is this any different than what the Left did to Don Imus? He should NOT have been fired. His comments should have been exposed, he should have been condemned or defended on the merits of those comments and then left to have his career live or die based on people deciding he was worth listening to anymore. Same thing applies here.

Call out Letterman LOUDLY and OFTEN and expose him and the Left for their tasteless crap and their utter hypocrisy. But, then leave it up to the American people to determine Letterman’s future success or failure. If Letterman continues to get good ratings, then that just shows that our society now accepts tasteless sexism and hypocrisy towards Conservatives. That is depressing and despicable, but not grounds for wielding pitchforks to deny the American people the right to listen to or watch such things.

Geez, this is sad. The only one making any sense over there is the stupid liberal douche troll:

this is sad… and pathetic

I thought conservatives snubbed their noses at the liberal PC culture that infests America today…

and now, you’re advocating the tactics of those you hate?

when you don’t have principles, then you have nothing. you may get rid of letterman, but you lose the greater war (by bringing this country into a censored, PC frenzied environment).

let’s blackball anyone who says anything that offends anyone… fuck free speech and 1st amendment!

Posted by: palin steele at June 13, 2009 01:02 PM

Okay, the last part is stupid, since “free speech” does not come without consequences and the 1st Amendment does not protect anyone from boycotts. But the rest is spot-on. This crap is about using the tactics of the Left. In other words, “the end justifies the means”. That is the logic of the Left. Yet, now conservatives are advocating it. As the douche troll stated, “this is sad and pathetic”.

go ahead, go blackball a comedian for making a tasteless joke (btw, I dont give a fuck about letterman just to be clear… I’m more worried about the longterm implications for certain ideals conservatives hold)

but you don’t ever get the right to feign outrage in the future when all different groups get their panties tied up over being offended by the most harmless un-PC verbal attacks… in this fight against letterman (a mere pawn of the left), you have strengthened the actual arsenal (PC correctness) of the left

if you successfully get Letterman off, it WILL be used against you in the future.

Posted by: palin steele at June 13, 2009 01:11 PM

Exactly. If this were the Left going after a conservative media member or comedian for a joke or statement they didn’t like, my bet is there would be outrage over the bullying tactics.

And then there’s this false analogy offered by a conservative:

Seems like getting Dan Blather booted worked out ok.

Posted by: cumulonimbus at June 13, 2009 01:15 PM

So now we’re comparing rightly working to cause the firing of a media member who is supposed to be objective, but instead blatantly passes off lies as facts to the American people in the effort to undermine a Presidential Election… to working to cause the firing of a comedian telling a tasteless joke? Come on, guys. You’re much better than this.

“Free speech doesn’t mean free of consequences, you stupid f*ck.”

no it doesn’t.  but boycotting companies and such is the tactic of the PC-loving left… its always been denigrated by conservatives because it goes against their principles.  Now conservatives want to adopt the tactic because one of their own is being attacked… its hypocritical.  Stand on your principles and you will be stronger in the long-term, go for short-term gains and you will be weaker for it.

Posted by: palin steele at June 13, 2009 01:15 PM

I can’t believe the liberal troll is still making the most sense. Ugh.

And then there’s this:

That’s the point of this whole exercise. PC outrage is primarily used as a weapon against the right. Reid can say the war is lost with no consequences. Actors can kiss a maniacal dictator like Castro on the ass with no consequences. Movies can mock Christians with no consequences. But if a conservative violates the PC code, usually his career is over.

Posted by: Matt at June 13, 2009 01:22 PM

Right, and you know what the answer to that is? You do the exact same thing as them. Letterman tells a tasteless joke about the “Right” and gets away with it? Then you have one of your own go out there and loudly and proudly tell a tasteless joke about the “Left”.  (For example, to make a point, start making tasteless jokes about Letterman’s wife and their child, and see how he likes it when the shoe is on the other foot).  Then, when the “Left” cries about it, you point out that you were just taking their lead and if they don’t like tasteless crap like that, then they should shut their own f*cking mouths and live up to their own standards.

The answer to free speech we don’t like is not less free speech, but MORE free speech. Recall the Mohammad Cartoons. Our answer to Muslims taking offense to that was not to join with them in boycotting, but to tell to STFU and deal with it, that’s how free speech works. But now all of a sudden, the rules have changed for conservatives?

Sorry, but I just cannot support this and I am very disappointed in seeing this advocated by one of my favorite conservative blogs.
