Islam - An Opinion

This opinion was posted over at Wizbang. It is quite clear, somewhat concise and spot on. I think it needs no clarification.

Just an observation.

Kid Hater?

Ol' BC read an article that gave me pause. We had five (5) hours warning for Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans and Louisiana officials dropped the ball. The conclusion is that Bush hates minorities. Now, we had eight (8) months or so warning of the H1N1 virus. The government dropped the ball. Does this mean that Obama doesn't like kids? Seems like a logical parallel. Both conclusions are stupid and sound like Kos or Huffington but they would never criticize The One.

Just a thought.

On Ft. Hood

Ol' BC has been watching coverage of the Ft. Hood shooting. He's waiting to see who will point out that it is Bush's fault.

Just a thought.

Glenn Beck - The New Oprah? Maybe.

That's what this article states. The new Oprah. No he hasn't endorsed The One. Beck has principles. But he does give writers a forum to pitch their new books to new audiences. But for a New York Times writer to compare a conservative to Oprah is somewhat of a surprise. We should be hearing some name calling from the left relatively soon.

Just an observation.

Bush Deficits. . .

. . . look pretty paltry after Obama's first year deficit. Well, it's only $1.42 TRILLION. Worst since WWII as a percentage of GDP.

Ol' BC tends to think we ain't seen nothin' yet.

Fighting The War. . .Let's Get Our Guys Killed

A marine has a son. He too is a marine. The proud. The few. But now the son is dead. The dad, still a marine, had a problem with the way the Obama administration has chosen to proceed with the war in Afghanistan before it cost him his son.

Bernard's criticism is aimed at new rules of engagement imposed by Gen. Stanley
McChrystal, the senior American commander in Afghanistan, five weeks before
Joshua Bernard was killed. They limit the use of airstrikes and require troops
to break off combat when civilians are present, even if it means letting the
enemy escape. They also call for greater cooperation with the Afghan National
Army.
Under those rules, John Bernard said, Marines and soldiers are being
denied artillery and air support for fear of killing civilians, and the Taliban
is using that to its tactical advantage. In a letter to his congressman and
Maine's U.S. senators, Bernard condemned "the insanity of the current situation
and the suicidal position this administration has placed these warriors in."

Ol' BC isn't a big fan of what's going on in Afghanistan, but if we are going to send our soldiers into the mess at least let them play to win. When the enemy is using women and children on the front lines they have identified their values when it comes to human life. The Muslim extremists are essentially animals. They don't mind killing their own for "the cause."

We need to fight to win or get out of Dodge. This pussy-footing around is getting people killed.

Here's the MSNBC article.

Just an observation.

Global Warming?

As Ol' BC sits and ponders the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize and realizes that the Nobel committee has just defined itself as a political entity, along comes this little nugget.

If the snow sticks, it would be the earliest recorded measurable snowfall in
Chicago. The record was set just three years ago when it snowed on Oct. 12.

The record was a mere three (3) years ago? Wow! This must really irritate the algorians. Al Gore and his band of followers want you to believe that we are warming at a most alarming rate when the earth has actually been cooling for somewhere in the neighborhood of a decade.

Losing Olympics Is Bush's Fault

That's what Illinois Senator Rowland Burris is saying. Everything that doesn't go Obama's way is Bush's fault. A losing presentation for the 2016 Olympics seems to be no exception. I guess that's one way to direct attention away from Obama's failures. This administration falls back on that trite summation every time something goes awry.

Did it ever occur to them that perhaps, just perhaps, the voters remember Atlanta? Could the fact that no country in South America has ever hosted an Olympics have weighed positively with the voters. Ol' BC had the vote figured out last week just watching reports on television.

At any rate, this administration might want to figure out some other alibi for their failures as this one is starting to lose it punch. Maybe they "inherited" a less than adequate presentation from Bush's two terms. One thought however - they could always blame a few of their future failures on Nixon.

Just a thought.
