Nightly Ramble: A Second, A Threat, A Culture, Roots, And an Endorsement

  • So, they’re concerned about a doctor shortage in the third world? And they think the US is causing the shortage? [2] Look, Gang, I’m used the the US getting blamed for everything. But how is this our fault? I mean, how many of these people would BE doctors without us educating them? It’s not the US’s fault they stay here instead of going back to the hell-hole where they came from. But Dale’s article does show rather clearly how devoid of logic the International Court is. And I agree with the apparent read that we should be telling that body to go fornicate itself.

    In a thinly veiled effort to drape Obama in the mantle of JFK, RFK, and MLK, New York Times writer Jeff Zeleny, uses a little fearmongering in a “noble” cause, of course:

    DALLAS — There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Senator Barack Obama, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will he be safe?

    RFK and MLK are mentioned early, but note the dateline (JFK is invoked later on). What a clever little bit of subliminal propaganda.

    Message: “We don’t know of any credible threats, but Barack might be targeted because he is John, Robert, and Martin all rolled up into one hopey-changey package and everyone knows that non-progressives are dangerous maniacs who play with guns.”

    Yeah, well, about that… the only credible threat I see to Obama is from Hillary Clinton. Ask Vince Foster about what happens to people that get between the Clintons… particularly Hillary… and Power.

  • Ya know, it occurs to me that the Democrats give “Grass Roots” [5] a different meaning. Who but someone continually toking could come up with some of this stuff?
  • Is it just me, or is Obama playing both sides of this Nation of Islam endorsement? [6]
