Solution for Israel: ‘Take out’ Obama?
“Damn” is about all you can say about something like this.
“Damn fool” would be the longer version.
Andrew Adler, owner/publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, wrote a column earlier this month musing about the options available to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As Adler saw it, Netanyahu has three choices:
One, launch a pre-emptive strike against Hamas and Hezbollah.
Two, launch an attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Three, I’ll let you read for yourself:
Adler now says he didn’t really mean it, and is sorry.
Damn fool.

JKL2: You may want to add a verb to your last paragraph. Eliminating armed force jobs insinuates Peace is breaking out! If not aren’t we in a position to insist our allies belly up to the bar on most of these “police actions”? And you do not respect your leadership?
Don’t get me wrong, I respect you and yours for serving our country. But with an attitude like yours, I’d be looking to send you off if not out of the military, to a job/location out of the mainstream. What is your rank?

Don’t they have any decent blogs in Illinois? (grin)
From that Haaretz article…
Like most of you, I have never met Andrew B. Adler, owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, but I think we can all agree that the man is spectacularly stupid. In his contorted apologies he has described himself, after all, as “an idiot.”
The three or four infantile paragraphs of vile text that Adler published in his obscure Atlanta newspaper last week, in which he suggested that Israel consider assassinating President Obama, almost slipped under the radar, but was picked up yesterday by Gawker.com, and is now going viral. “A fool may throw a stone into a well which even a hundred wise men cannot pull out”, the saying goes, and it will indeed take a long time and a great effort to undo the damage that Adler has wrought, in one fell swoop, in defaming Israel by implying that it might, in anyone’s wildest dreams, consider such a kooky conspiracy; in staining American Jews by appearing to supposedly represent their twisted way of thinking; and even by undermining the institution of Jewish journalism by exposing that it harbors such birdbrained bozos in its midst.

JKL2,
If you lose a government pension, it will be as a result of the Republican’s efforts. They’re the only ones pushing that sort of Draconian cut in government in case you have not noticed. And as for the debt, yes, the Republicans refuse to acknowledge that the bulk of it is their own creation and that tax hikes — not tax cuts — are needed to pay for it.

For a wee bit of perspective from others outside our shores (or some inside our shores):
It was first reported in January of last year that the Obama administration had compiled a hit list of American citizens whom the President had ordered assassinated without any due process, and one of those Americans was Anwar al-Awlaki. No effort was made to indict him for any crimes (despite a report last October that the Obama administration was “considering” indicting him). Despite substantial doubt among Yemen experts about whether he even had any operational role in Al Qaeda, no evidence (as opposed to unverified government accusations) was presented of his guilt. When Awlaki’s father sought a court order barring Obama from killing his son, the DOJ argued, among other things, that such decisions were “state secrets” and thus beyond the scrutiny of the courts. He was simply ordered killed by the President: his judge, jury and executioner. When Awlaki’s inclusion on President Obama’s hit list was confirmed, The New York Times noted that “it is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be approved for targeted killing.”

Take America Back
January 21st, 2012
10:39 am
Is Obama back from Disney World yet? I hear Mickey Mouse is hiring seasonal workers. Anyway I wonder about something. If an Israeli wrote about assassinating Bush circa 2006, would Jay be writing about it in similar fashion? Oh wait, a film about Bush’s assassination was the hit of the party at the Toronto Film Festival! In any event, Israelis should be ashamed. America elects presidents, and the president is America’s representative. An assault or evil wish on our president is an assault and threat on us all (bet you liberals never said that about Bush or Reagan).
Anyway moving on to more pressing matters:
How about Newt’s beatdown of John King on DNCNN at the beginning of the debates, eh? Priceless. ‘Bout time someone said what we’re all thinking: main stream media shrills for Obama.
From the AP: “President Obama blames the press for creating the image that he’s aloof and disconnected from the rest of Washington, insisting in a new interview that he’s just more interested in spending time with his family than in exchanging pleasantries with strangers.”
Really? He’s blaming the [liberal] press for who he is? Laughable. Four more years!
“Michelle Obama celebrated her 48th birthday Tuesday night with her husband and friends at a D.C. steakhouse where the menu features a $28 hamburger named ‘The Obama.’”
Amazing how we don’t ever see pictures of these events where all the millionaires hang out with the Obamas, eh?
“General Motors Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson agreed Wednesday to testify next week before a House panel investigating the government’s handling of an investigation into fire risks in the Chevrolet Volt.”
Well, you can’t expect one of Obama’s “green” creations to have a problem, right? So what if your power bill goes through the roof charging it every night because Obama killed coal. It’s all about the “green” man.
And for the finale and circling back to the liberal media, NPR’s Nina Totenberg on Friday claimed that there were more people on food stamps under W. Bush than there are under Obama today (no, she really said that even as we’ve been pummeled with data stating otherwise). But that’s not the best of it. The best part is she said “facts don’t matter” to Gingrich. You seriously cannot make this stuff up. If ever there were a textbook example of liberals relying on emotions over fact, this is it:
“NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: You know, Newt knows how to play this game. And as Charles said, he is in his own backyard, right next to Georgia, and he is incredibly glib. It doesn’t matter that, you know, that there were more people on food stamps under George W. Bush. It doesn’t matter that his suggestion is that minorities are the ones who get food stamps, that far more white people get food stamps. It doesn’t matter that working people get food stamps in order to feed their families. Facts don’t matter to him and it makes for great, it makes for great talk.”
Just the facts, Ma’am. Imagine all the scams and shenanigans here:
“USDA data released this week shows that the number of Americans receiving food aid from the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) hit another all-time high in August. 45.8 million people — almost 15% of the country — were enrolled in the program, which replaced Food Stamps in 2008. This is only a slight increase from July, when 45.3 million Americans were receiving SNAP help — but a massive 31% jump since June 2009, when the National Bureau of Economic Research declared the most recent recession over.”

This Ragin’ Cajun cracks me up sometimes.
The guy certainly has the neo-cons nailed…
Memo to Republican Establishment:
Let me break it to you gently — you’ve got a first-class disaster on your hands. I know you boys thought this thing would work out and you would be able to whip the Republicans in line to fall in behind Mitt (I assume you are all males but if there is a female in the establishment, I apologize.) Not going too good, is it fellows?
It’s been a terrible time to be a Republican. There have been many moments during this process that have caused me great joy. Certainly the events of Thursday, ending with the CNN debate, and even the Fox debate Monday night, have helped ease the pain of my beloved Tigers’ and Saints’ recent defeats.
I mean, most people thought it was kind of a watermark when your Tea Party gang booed the golden rule. You know, I’ve spent some time in Philly and they have always thought they were pretty radical because they actually booed Santa Claus and Willie Mays. Philly, I’ve got news for you — you ain’t got nothing on South Carolina Republicans. They just aren’t buying any of that do-unto-others garbage.
I actually thought my favorite moment of this delightful process was when one of your eight front-runners, Herm Cain, (as Sarah Palin calls him) actually ran an ad with his campaign manager endorsing him. (Rove, why didn’t you think of that in 2000? Imagine the headline: “Rove endorses Bush.”)
The climax of that delicious ad is when he actually takes a drag on a cigarette. But my favorite thing about Herm’s campaign manager is that he is the only person in the history of the world that was actually barred from political consulting. Let me tell you, I’ve been in this business for quite a while and I’ve never known of anyone other than Mark Block to be suspended from practicing this profession.
PS — As my former boss once said, I feel your pain. That’s why I didn’t mention Rick Perry.

Now most are the highest overpaid positions out there. I would do my job for less, but compared to what I have had to sacrifice next to some sitting behind a desk pretending to be important, I feel I kind of deserve it. It you want to cut some payroll, most officers are grossly overpaid and I won’t even go into contractors.

There’s one thing that people do not consider when discussing the targeting of Americans, and that is the oaths that are taken by the president, the military, and government law enforcement officials that would be responsible for taking such actions.
Presidential Oath of Office:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Military Oath of Office:
“I, *****, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
Fed Oath of Office:
”I, *****, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that <b.I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Seems that law dictates that, if a citizen is deemed an enemy of the Constitution, it is the duty of the president, military, and government as a whole to defend the Constitution in spite of the fact that they are doing such against a citizen.

Trying to label government unions as some kind of threat is like claiming you have an attack dog in your home because your significant other has a teacup poodle.

I’ve been watching that situation unfold, and I’m surprised at the silence surrounding the entire fiasco. It will be interesting to see things play out. I think it’s just good to see democratic processes working as they should.

“…but downsizing personnel at this time would be bad.”
For whom?
The republic?
For our gargantuan deficit?
For our national security?
Please.
The ONLY reason that it would suck for those guys is that in this post-apocalyptic, corporate destroyed capitalism, there are very few good jobs for anybody. Even veterans.
So let’s cut to the chase, for the chickenhawks who run the Republican Party there will NEVER, EVER, EVER be a good time to do it.
To them, these men and women are not much more than political tools to be used as canon fodder whenever they get that frequent vicarious bloodlusting itch. Or is it a rash?

Is that why Scott Walker has raised more money in the last 6 month than any governor in history? All this recall BS is going to do is wast about $10 million WI taxpayer dollars. WI is kicking a$$ since he took over. Fell free to compare it to it’s southern brother IL if you want.

That’s why I laugh when people go all bat shiite crazy about government unions. The larger unions are Fed Unions, and by law, they can not strike. They can’t bargain over pay or benefits either. If people really knew the limited power of fed unions, they’d piss their pants from laughing everytime some rightie brings up the evil government unions. Amoebas have more spine that fed unions.

If you guys think Jay’s got it in for Newt, ya might oughta have a look at Rude Pundit’s latest…
[W]hen Gingrich went all angry chimp on CNN’s John King at last night’s GOP South Carolina debate over a question about Marianne Gingrich’s interview with ABC, it wasn’t only unexpected. It’s what he does. He’s always the victim. When he said, “I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans,” you could have put Bill Clinton in there.
Oh, wait. Here’s Gingrich in June 1996 in the Washington Times: “[T]here is no president in modern times more systematically protected by the elite media.” (Indeed, one could go through much of the way Gingrich has attacked Obama and find almost verbatim antecedents in his attacks on Clinton, Gore, and Kerry.)
In December 1994, Gingrich was congratulating the House Republicans for their victory in the midterms. After talking about his family, he said, “I want to ask all of you to join me in — (pauses) — I’m trying to think. It’s a little difficult to say. In thanking the person who has endured more from the media and more from the process than anybody should have to for me to be here, my wife Marianne.” Callista Bisek, who was a House staffer, was probably there for that rally. Maybe she was a little uncomfortable as Gingrich introduced his wife since the Speaker had been f###ing Callista for a year already.
No, there’s no issue about a sociopathic character flaw here that might be of interest to the voters.

taxpayer- How about we just take the payroll taxes that the working class have paid and give those to the military retirees instead. Or we could eliminate Medicaid and unemployment benefits, etc., and tell those people that it is just the price they have to pay you for your willingness to protect them from harm…
It seems you’re implying Soldier’s don’t work. We actually are the working class. Since we are paid by the government, everything we receive WAS taken away from a working person.
Don’t worry about Medicare because your wonderful Obamacare is going to get rid of that on it’s own.

Well, I guess today all those fine folk in South Carolina are trying not to scrape their knuckles as they walk to the polls.
I sure hope they have decent weather. Unlike us. Heck, we’re in the middle of a thunderstorm up here at Simpsons Trailer Park. In the middle of January. This is crazy.
My guess is, old Newt might of picked up a few votes from the men in SC over that report of him wanting a open marriage. Which is no marriage at all. I guess us people will watch the returns at Billy Bob’s and brag a little about how this country is getting back to the Conservative way of doing things. And in the end I’m afraid it’ll go the Way of McCain and we’ll have four more years of the Socialist Illegal Kenyan. But at least we’ll of got our licks in. Then I start thinking of No. 1 Foxy Lady getting on here and telling us all to . . . well, you know.

“If people really knew the limited power of fed unions, they’d piss their pants from laughing everytime some rightie brings up the evil government unions.”
Just a point of clarification, but “gov’t unions” isn’t restricted to the fed……if the State unions had the same restrictions, there would probably be less discussion on the matter…….

To rehash things I’ve already typed today, let alone multiple times in the past:
Yes, I think obama will get re-elected, because when too many stupid people vote, the Democrat wins.
Obama is going to be re-elected based on 1: class envy 2: skin color 3: the promise of bigger handouts. His target audience is people who don’t pay income tax and unions.
He could care less about anyone earning a paycheck. Something our founding fathers specifically warned against.

JKL2,
That is your handle parked next to that implication so it would be you making said implication. Kindly park your Limbaugh Lingo at the door and pick it up when you exit. As for my question of how to pay your benefits, I see you failed to reply. Care to try again. How about since the DoD gets 700 billion annually and your benefits are only 100 billion, you convince your superiors to get by on a mere 600 billion per year. Perhaps a small cut in active deployed troops and even a little cut in some futuristic aircraft or something similar will do the trick. That way, the people whom you claim to be fighting to protect might still be alive when you come back stateside to check up on ‘em. It’s a win-win.
