Dennis on weak-thinker Joe Biden’s “It’s all about who you love” Justifying Gay “Marriage”

Dennis was very kind to the light headed Veep, Joe Biden, on the Dennis Prager Show today.. He reviewed the leaky thinker’s comments about the Vice Presidents falling in love with gay marriage.
“It’s all about who you love” he repeated and felt the ecstacy of feeling good. It is a metter of love.

Biden was interviewed by Mainstream yesterday, Sunday, about the development of this swelling heart Joe was developing for the gay day when the word marriage loses its meaning through the millenium. Would it be a campaign issue? How does the slippery, arythmic, disingenuous, egocventric Obama heart beat on the matter?
Joe suggested the president had not yet announced his public version of his personal version of the issue. Obama is Obama, after all. He is for gay marriage, but wants his national flock to know he is for marriage….but Joe thought Obama hadn’t gone all the way yet.

Dennis was so polite in treating this 4th grader Joe guy on the gay marriage matter as an adult.

If it is only a matter of love, why not marry one’s sister or brother….mother or father…..a ten year old…..how about four or five of the “loved” at the same time? Surely some gays have a new love every night.

In England a year or two ago, a gal married her pet dolphin. Why couldn’t at least the Liberals marry their dogs?

“Why recognize marriage at all”? Dennis asked.

Marriage between a man and a woman is primarily an isntitution humans have created for raising the human immediate family. I happen to believe that this insitution is sacred if any institution can be sacred.

That the family institution can be flawed is because the human is flwed. The Church or Synagogue are flawed because its members and leaders are flawed…..but, like the United States of America, marriage of a human male and female who are adult enough to want to live together and hopefully think and act like an adult human being, the time of history has suggested its our Best Hope for success.

I am positive my view is exactly the same as Dennis’ view from when I listen to his teachings on the subject.

I’ll wait for Dennis’ writing….I am certain it will happen soon.

George Will’s Quote about Obama Ego is a Beauty for the History Books

“If you struck from Barack Obama’s vocabulary the first-person singular pronoun, he would fall silent, which would be a mercy to us and a service to him, actually,” Will said. “Because he was been so incontinent for the last three years that you wind up with, as you said, [an] Ohio State University with empty seats.”

The video of Will delivering the quote can be found at realclearpolitics video, May 6, 2012.

Elizabeth Warren, the PERFECT Democrat “Innocent” Rotting America at Its Core

ELIZABETH WARREN FRAUDSTER

from the New York Post:

Like the Seminole, Navajo, Kickapoo . . . I’m an Indian, too,” wrote Irving Berlin for his Broadway classic “Annie Get Your Gun.”

Maybe Elizabeth Warren should adopt the ditty as her campaign theme song.

Last week didn’t go well for the hard-left icon and Democratic US Senate candidate from Massachusetts, as she struggled to find an ancestor to bolster her claims of being a Native American.

Seems that Harvard Law School, where she teaches, had long identified her as such on its ethnic diversity reports to counter criticism that its faculty is too white and too male.

And she listed herself for a decade in the Association of American Law Schools annual directory of minority law professors.

Her first response: The claim has long been part of her “family lore,” including a photo of her grandfather, who “had high cheekbones, like all of the Indians do.”

Then genealogists finally uncovered a great-great-great-grandmother who was listed as Cherokee on an electronic version of an old government record — which, if accurate, would make Warren 1/32nd Native American.

So why claim such a connection?

To score some free lunches, said Warren.

“I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon . . . with people who are like I am,” she said.

(We’re not making this up!)

As for the much more likely explanation — that Warren was grasping a dubious affirmative-action hook to help her rise up the academic ladder — don’t even consider it.

That’s sexist, says Warren.

“What does he think it takes for a woman to be qualified?” she piously asked after her GOP opponent, Sen. Scott Brown, raised just that issue.

In fact, the flap just points up the dishonest essence of affirmative-action programs — and the ease with which they can be manipulated.

Never mind that all of the law schools that hired Warren quickly released statements swearing that her so-called minority status had nothing to do with it.

But, as blogger Ann Althouse notes, “What would you expect them to say?”

Such programs are designed to give members of “victimized” groups an unjustifiable leg up over equally — or even more — qualified applicants for the same job.

And all on irrelevant qualifications — like a single ancestor five generations back.

Elizabeth Warren figured out pretty quickly how to game the system.

Fortunately, it takes more than a long-dead bud on the family tree to get elected to the US Senate.

Comment: For the last half century the LBJ types in the Democrat Party have been conniving to corral as many “special” Americans in order to divide and conquer Congress and the White House on a permanent basis. Conniving is the word I am intentionally using. Traditional Americans of both parties had been educated to be American on such matters….to refrain from divide and conquer based on race, class, religion, sexuality, height or weight and so on. E Pluribus Unum was their code.

Republicans passively reacted to the New Democrat Political Ordering and never really made a case for reminding Americans of their heritabe and duties to keep America ‘free’ from bureaucratic dictatorships so popular throughout the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, Liberal dogmatists programmed by the know-nothings at the American university, the Bill Ayers Marxist terrorists became popular and invaded the classroom world.

The Collapse of the American “News” Industry….the Bill Keller and Company disease

Mainstream Media’s Pose of Fairness is the Real Poison in American Journalism

by Jonathan Tobin at Commentary:

The New York Times’ former reputation as the nation’s objective newspaper of record was always a façade that covered up a persistent liberal bias that skewed its coverage of both politics and the world. But during the eight years that Bill Keller served as executive editor, the Times accelerated its descent into the partisan and hyper-liberal biased reporting and unbalanced opinion pages that we now take for granted as the paper’s calling card. Keller’s liberal prejudices were never a secret while he was the paper’s editor and in his current guise as a weekly opinion columnist, the last veil has dropped. But even now, he can’t seem to give up the pose of being the professional journalist who is too busy getting the story right to inject his politics into the copy.

This is the principal conceit of his latest column in which he commits the unpardonable sin of trying to shoot a fish in a barrel and missing. By taking aim at Rupert Murdoch — the easiest target in the world this week — Keller only manages to call more attention to his own partisanship and hypocrisy. His point is that Murdoch’s creation Fox News and its conservative bias is “America’s poison,” and claims that for all of its flaws, the mainstream media is still far more fair and balanced than the network that uses that phrase to describe itself. But the idea that Fox is any more biased than the Times, let alone NBC, CNN or NPR — the examples he cites of other more objective outlets — is absurd.

The only evidence he gives for what he considers the obvious superiority of the non-Fox liberal media is that the Times Sunday Magazine once published an even-handed profile of Rush Limbaugh by Zev Chafets. He says such a fair-minded piece about Nancy Pelosi would never have run on Fox. He also thinks it is terrible that Fox News head Roger Ailes didn’t cooperate with a liberal trying to write his biography and that it takes a dim view of employees who leak material in order to embarrass the company.

The problem with this argument is that the Chafets profile is merely the exception that proves the rule at the Times. While there are occasional instances of fairness, they merely highlight the paper’s typical unfairness to anyone or any group that it opposes. The comparison is also ridiculous because most of Fox’s programming is the moral equivalent to the Times’ editorial and op-ed pages. There the analogy between the two is almost exact. Liberal voices are a distinct minority on Fox but no more so than genuine conservatives at the Times.

If anything, a comparison of the airtime that Fox devotes to straight news coverage to the Times’ news pages is actually quite flattering to the former. While Fox’s news hounds may not be perfectly objective one wonders if they have ever committed any journalistic sin so blatant as the Times’ decision just this past Friday to run a front page news feature on racism directed at President Obama in Ohio whose only possible point was to try to rally liberals around the incumbent lest hate triumph. Nor can I recall Fox’s news operation ever doing anything as despicable or lacking in ethics as Keller’s decision to publish a major expose of John McCain’s personal life at the height of the 2008 presidential campaign that lacked any proof of the wrongdoing the piece insinuated.

Even after all these years, Keller and other liberals still don’t understand why Fox is popular. Along with conservative talk radio, it was created to balance the obvious bias of a mainstream media that pretended it had no bias. Audiences despise the pretense and appreciate Fox’s straightforward point of view. That’s why, as I wrote this past week, CNN, whose dishonesty about its liberal bias is as obvious as that of the Times, is the loser in the cable rating wars.

No one should fault Keller for his liberalism. It is his pretense of fairness that is galling. His claims about Fox’s faults can be just as easily directed at the Times. The real poison at the heart of American journalism isn’t Fox, it’s the mainstream media’s false front of objectivity.

The Obnoxious Ego of the Racist “SON” of Jeremiah Wright, Barack Hussein Obama, the Hubris

George W. Bush speech after capture of Saddam Hussein:

The success of yesterday’s mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the Dictator’s footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them.

Barack Hussein Obama speech, Sunday, May 1, 2011:

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as I continued the broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by my intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that Ihad enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad , Pakistan .

Hubris (hu·bris), also hybris, means extreme haughtiness, pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one’s own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.
