3-30-2011 The Weekly Claw

Okay folks, this is another big one, and there will definitely be a second edition this week. In fact, the draft is already half the size of my normal columns.

Have y’all seen the pics of Tiger’s new girlfriend? Yep, she’s a blonde. Is he gonna turn into another OJ? We thought he was a nice guy until…

So Barack gave a speech on Monday. Did it inspire confidence? Nope. Was it about what I expected? Yep. His reasoning for getting involved in Libya was not explained as well as he probably thinks it was. I agreed with some of it (the “right” and “American” thing to do according to our post WW2 norms), but not all of it (for humanitarian purposes only), and the same reasoning could be used to justify involvement in Iran, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, etc. He never really defined our goals, saying that the ouster of Gaddhafi would be through political efforts, not military efforts, which doesn’t square with giving air support to the rebel forces that are on the move toward Tripoli. He used, okay overused, the personal pronoun “I” throughout, saying that HE took actions, etc. If this same speech had been given by George W. Bush, the media would be savaging it.

This week, we observed Medal of Honor Day. Okay, not many of y’all knew about it, but it is an official remembrance. A disproportionately high number of awardees of The Medal have been Navy Corpsmen and Army Medics, and most of them were awarded The Medal posthumously. Here is another example of one of our finest, whose bravery was a shining example, yet he refused to carry a weapon. Oh, and it is one of The Crawfish’s pet peeves to hear or see someone refer to it as the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor. It is the Medal of Honor, and it is presented “on behalf of Congress”.

Upchuck Schumer was caught trying to coach other Dim-ocrats into blaming the Tea Party for the looming government shutdown, saying that the Tea Party’s position of wanting budget cuts that amount to less than 4% of the deficit (not 4% of the overall budget) is “extreme”, which he states is the language the “caucus instructed me to use.” With a deficit of $1.6 TRILLION, the left wingnuts are claiming that any cut of over $20 BILLION is “extreme”, and the many of the cuts that they would consider are false savings through accounting and wording tricks. The Dims are purposely working for a shutdown, which they will attempt to blame on the GOP, despite the fact that the people of America know who has jacked spending to these out-of-control levels. They really do think you are stupid enough to believe their outright lies.

What would happen if a member of the press was treating this way by a Republican Administration?

Those states are being forced to make huge budget cuts, and every one of them that is controlled by Republicans is catching hell from unions and other liberals, including the media, for it. Meanwhile, uber-liberal California and Governor Moonbeam are also making those severe cuts, but there is a distinct lack of national attention. You see, the unions and media aren’t standing for workers and middle-class families. They are standing for liberalism.

The protests against budget cuts that would take away freebies for the leeches of society and really good benefits for government workers are not happening only in states controlled by Republican Governors and legislatures. They’re happening overseas as well. The Gimme Generation is getting upset that their free ride is coming to an end. Neal Boortz has a good take on these protests, who is behind them, and where they are headed. The era of socialist entitlements is dying because, as Prime Minister Thatcher said. “Sooner or later you run out of other people’s money!”

The GOP, now that they have control of the House, is reverting back to their liberal, big-government ways. They have forgotten who gave them the control and the messages that were sent in November. The Tea Party is now sending a shot across John Boehner’s bow. Will he get the message?

Does Janet Incompetano actually believe any of the propaganda that she spews forth? Now she is saying that the cities and towns along the border with Mexico are safe and that border security is the best that it has ever been. She’s a worse propagandist than Goebbels, Lord Haw-Haw, and Tokyo Rose. They had SOME talent and had SOME people actually believing them.

On a related note, why do Democrats have such a hard time supporting actions to prevent voter fraud, such as the bill just passed by the Texas House? They claim that producing identification is raaaaaacist, but that’s about as truthful as BillyJeff Clinton saying that he did not have sexual relations with that woman. The ONLY reason that Democrats oppose actions to counter voter fraud is that Democrats ENGAGE in voter fraud in every single election!

The scandal at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, in conjunction with the Eric Holder Department of Injustice and the White House, won’t go away. The amazing thing is that it is not just Fox News doing the investigating. A team from CBS News has been doggedly after all leads, and has even aired two updates since first hitting the story. The team leader has even declared, “CBS will be with this scandal until Holder and Napolitano leave in disgrace and (Rahm) Emanuel is having heart-to-heart chats with a special prosecutor.” The Crawfish tips his hat to “Buck” for sending in this story. The Obama Mexican Gun Scandal as The Crawfish has dubbed it, has even started drawing attention from other news organizations. Now if the GOP has any stones, they will turn this into a major media story. In other words, it will probably go away.

The Administration’s commitment to criminal behavior is taking yet another curious turn. Last week, I mentioned Jamie Gorelick and her complicity in the collapse of the credit and housing markets, which netted her millions. Well, she also was a big factor in the attacks of 9-11, because it was she who put in place the wall of separation between the intelligence agencies. Now the Obama Administration and Eric Holder’s Injustice Department are considering Gorelick for the position of FBI Director. Folks, I can’t make this stuff up! The Crawfish’s good friend Gunny G has some more info on Gorelick’s past over at the Anti-Liberal Zone.

Meanwhile, another failed Fannie Mae executive is the one running the operation in Libya. No wonder it is all screwed up!

When questioned about the statements from both Hillary! and The Chosen One from when they were Senators saying that a President MUST get approval from Congress before going into military action anywhere, and that not doing so is impeachable, Her Thighness had this to say regarding the Libyan campaign: “Well, we would welcome congressional support, but I don't think that this kind of internationally authorized intervention where we are one of a number of countries participating to enforce a humanitarian mission is the kind of unilateral action that either I or President Obama was speaking of several years ago. I think that this had a limited timeframe, a very clearly defined mission which we are in the process of fulfilling.” In other words, if it is a Republican initiating action, the Congress (or at least the DNC) needs to control it, but if a Democrat initiates action or the action is at the bidding of the UN, it’s all good in the hood! In the same article, SecDef Gates gets all convoluted in trying to explain the rationale behind the operation, saying that it wasn’t in our interests, but was in our interests. This isn’t only the gang that can’t shoot straight, they’re the gang that can’t even get their stories straight…and it gets even better. Team Obama now claims that he didn’t go to Congress before attacking because the situation was too urgent. If it was so urgent, why did he wait over 2 weeks before making the call? Did it interfere with his tee times?

The Eric Holder Injustice Department has now attacked a school district near Chicago by filing a discrimination lawsuit against them, with absolutely no Constitutional justification. The school district did not grant vacation time to their only math lab teacher for three weeks during the school year because she was not allowed 19 days of vacation time according to the union contract. Since she was demanding the vacation for a muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, the Obama Administration had to get involved.

As if we didn’t expect this one. Eric Holder’s Injustice Department has cleared itself of any wrongdoing in the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case. The day after the GOP takes control of the whole Congress and the White House, the real investigation will be able to take place.

Hmmmmm. What does Gaffes Biden have to say now? He warned that he would lead a move to impeach W if he attacked Iran without getting Congressional approval first. Well, Obama attacked Libya without asking Congress for approval. We are waiting for your call to impeach, Mr. Vice President. (Yeah, I know…impeaching Obama would lead to Gaffes becoming President. All I can say is that he can’t be any worse.)

President Obama has now stated that he will keep his Nobel Peace Prize. Why shouldn’t he? He is still fulfilling every reason that it was given to him in the first place. He’s an anti-American socialist muslim who is not George W. Bush.

I appears that Congress is noticing how The Chosen One is in love with oil production, as long as it is not American.

If y’all come across any weird/stoooopid/strange news stories that might be fodder for The Weekly Claw or The Weekend Claw, e-mail them to me at CrawfishsClaw@yahoo.com and I’ll consider ‘em. Yes, I will give you newshounds credit.

3-23-2011 The Weekly Claw

This is gonna be a big one, so tighten those straps, keep your arms and legs inside the car, and remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop.

Okay, my position on the Libyan situation is conflicted and in need of further explanation. I pretty much agreed with the spirit of what the Arab League envisioned. I thought that we, along with our European and Middle Eastern allies, would provide an aerial defense of the Benghazi area, with anti-aircraft positions in the eastern half of Libya getting hit as well, until some kind of political actions could be taken to end the conflict. I really don’t think it was necessary to hit any of the western half of the nation, especially Tripoli, if we don’t have the stated goal of taking out Gaddhafi Duck. I also thought Barack Obama would get some Congressional authorization first, since the Democrats have always required it from GOP Presidents. As it stands, we need to back off and let the European and Middle Eastern nations take the ball and run with it. Those oil fields serve THEM, not US.

Now, as far as getting rid of the Duck, President Obama has sent very mixed signals, which is one of the reasons so many people are conflicted over the whole thing, including if this is really a “war” and what it means to “declare” war. Roger L. Simon had this to say on Saturday, and changed his mind to this on Monday evening. As you can see…seriously conflicted as well. Going back to his famous Cairo speech, Obama said “I know there has been controversy about the promotion of democracy in recent years, and much of this controversy is connected to the war in Iraq. So let me be clear (this was the milestone 1,500,000th time he said “so let me be clear” since his campaign began): no system of government can or should be imposed upon one nation by any other.” On Tuesday, the White House issued a statement regarding a conversation between Obama and the leader of Turkey saying that they “underscored their shared commitment to the goal of helping provide the Libyan people an opportunity to transform their country, by installing a democratic system that respects the people’s will”, but turned around and said that regime change was not the “effort of our military operation”, so which is it? He has also stated numerous times that it is time for Gaddhafi to go. I just wish he’d make up our minds.

Could Obama and the Arab League be doing this operation in Libya with a future action in mind in another nation? Considering how both parties hate that nation, it could happen. Thanks to Claw contributor “Buck” for this one.

Former Ambassador John Bolton, who would either be my UN Ambassador or SecState if I were to become POTUS, has a set of four mistakes that we must never again make when considering military intervention somewhere. It is a VERY good column.

For the TENTH time in the past four months, the Supreme Court has overturned a decision from the 9th Circus Court, with almost every one of those being a unanimous decision to overturn. We need to simply disband that Circuit in February of 2013, and replace it with a court made up of judges who have actually read the Constitution.

Some folks say that Shariah Law could never be used in American courts. Those people are hereby proven wrong. This should never happen.

For those of you who consider Newt Gingrich to be a conservative and a viable choice for President in 2012, let this be a subtle reminder that he is definitely NOT a conservative. Here is another, and considering that this one has him allied with The Prophet Algoracle and Red Nanny P-Lousy, it should be used by all candidates against him in the GOP primaries. Why Sean Hannity keeps kissing Newt’s butt (and that of RINO Rudy Guiliani) is beyond all comprehension.

I can’t imagine why the mainstream media hasn’t picked up on this story. It has corruption, lying, and Tea Party involvement. Oh, wait…it was liberals posing as Tea Party members to split the meager conservative vote in Michiganistan.

Just in case any of y’all were still not convinced that Barack Obama is indeed a racist and a socialist, take a listen to the latest from the preacher that Barack followed for over 20 years, as he discusses Black Liberation Theology, the evils of capitalism, the goodness of marxist-socialism, prominent conservative voices, and the evil of supporting Israel. It is simply impossible to follow a guy like that for that long and not believe the same stuff.

I don’t know about y’all, but I want DC OUT of my laundry room! I prefer my clothes to be clean, tendjewberrymud!

Hospitals and the normally uber-liberal Baltimore Sun agree. Obamacare is bad for American health care. Heck, we tried to tell ‘em that when Hillary! was trying to implement socialist medicine.

I’m sorry, but if you have been convicted of DWI more than four times, you should NEVER get your license back. The idjuts in Ohio must believe otherwise for this story to be true.

For all of the left wing ranting and raving over the new collective bargaining law in Wisconsin, which is under a temporary restraining order because of how it was passed instead of the substance of the law, the union goons, the left wing media, and all of the Dim-ocrat politicians have conveniently overlooked something. Even under that law, the state government workers in Wisconsin will still have more bargaining rights than any FEDERAL union workers, and Governor Walker is asking why the left wingnuts aren’t protesting against Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and the rest of the Dim leaders. Federal union workers haven’t had collective bargaining rights since James Earl Carter and his Dim-ocrat-controlled Congress passed the Civil Service Act of 1978. Carter even had this to say when he signed it into law: “This legislation will bring fundamental improvements to the Federal personnel system. It puts merit principles into statute and defines prohibited personnel practices. It establishes a Senior Executive Service and bases the pay of executives and senior managers on the quality of their performance. It provides a more sensible method for evaluating individual performance. It gives managers more flexibility and more authority to hire, motivate, reward, and discipline employees to ensure that the public's work gets done.” So which party is the union-busting party?

The judge who put the temporary restraining order on the Wisconsin law might have done so illegally. She must recuse herself from the case, as she has a major conflict of interest.

Now the unions are trying to portray their lavish benefits as the equivalent of the civil rights of blacks earned by MLK and the leaders of the 60s. Richard Trumpka, the AFL-CIO boss who has probably not worked in a real union-represented job for at least two decades, called for union stooges around the country to “stand in solidarity with working people in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and dozens of other states where well-funded, right-wing corporate politicians are trying to take away the rights Dr. King gave his life for.” Really? MLK gave his life for the rights of bus drivers who show up drunk for work to get 5 months of paid vacation instead of getting fired and for horrible teachers to keep their jobs no matter how poorly they and their students perform?

The union goons were portrayed by all of the media, with the exceptions of Fox News and a few others, as being so righteous and pure throughout the Wisconsin protests. There was never a bad word said about them. Of course, they actually perpetrated twenty days of thuggery that flies in the face of the liberals’ continual call for “civility” from conservatives and those evil Tea Partiers.

Bill Franks, the head of the American Federation of Teachers union, says that being a Republican is a pathology and evil. He says that the unions started a revolution in Wisconsin (he may be right, but not in the way he thinks!). He praises socialism and says we can learn from it, which is funny, since if he was a real teacher, he would know that socialism has failed every single place that it has been instituted. Yes, this is union civility.

At least one company is taking action against the union civility. Sodexo USA has filed a RICO lawsuit against Obama’s purpleshirt thugs at the SEIU. You really do need to read the article to understand the level of civility coming from The Won’s pets. Hopefully, they will win the suit and get a few million from the SEIU…money that would otherwise be spent on left wing extremist campaigning next year.

The SEIU, also known as Barack Obama’s Personal Organization of Union Thugs, and its minions are now on the record as officially planning to destroy the US economy and replace the remnants with a socialist state. Don’t believe me? Well, let’s go to the videotape. We have GOT to take these people down soon!

The UAW made some concessions to Ford Motor Company a couple of years ago. They did this to keep the company from going under. The concessions, along with other changes in how Ford does business, worked. Ford is now making a profit. That is not acceptable to the UAW. They are demanding that the concessions get rolled back and that they go back to making an average of almost $60.00 an hour per union worker in wages and benefits, which will put Ford right back in the dumper instead of allowing Ford to hire more union workers. The company’s job is to give money and benefits to the workers, not to turn a profit for the owners. Typical liberal logic.

Oh, and here’s some more leftist civility, this time from the District of Corruption.

Husbands of psychochicks are cheering this announcement, and that’s all I’m gonna say.

Then there’s this little bit of civility from Bill Maher, who some people seem to think is a comedian. If anybody on the right EVER called a liberal female by that 4-letter word that rhymes with “what”, the liberal media would go absolute bat guano. Every single mainstream news organization would call for conservative heads to roll (again, CIVILITY), and the TV talk shows (Orca and her minions) would have no other subject to talk about for a month.

Joe Biden even got into the left-wing extremist civility swing of things. He said the Congressional Republicans who want to cut spending are like people who blame rape victims because they were wearing a short skirt. He also said that the GOP gave us the deficit and are the ones who have been crazy-spending. What alternate universe is that idiot living in?

While he was in Brazil, The Chosen One praised Brazil’s oil industry and their offshore drilling, saying that we needed to buy more oil from Brazil. This comes two years after he orchestrated a two billion dollar loan to Petrobas, Brazil’s main oil company. Could this be because his puppetmaster, George Soros, owns a huge share in Petrobas, through his hedge funds? Do the math.

KILL THE CHIHUAHUA!...or something to that effect.

Special Edition of The Weekly Claw 3-20-2011

Welcome to a special edition of The Weekly Claw. My draft column for March 23rd was getting a wee bit long, so I have taken some of the content and moved it to this edition.

I fully support the military actions against Libya. My main complaints are that they should have started a few days earlier and The Won should have gotten Congressional approval first. The actions do, however, bring up an interesting point. When George W. Bush was President and they were campaigning against each other (and W even though he wasn’t running), both Barack and Hillary! were completely opposed to such actions. The Won said, “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” Former President Hillary said, “The President has the solemn duty to defend our Nation. If the country is under truly imminent threat of attack, of course the President must take appropriate action to defend us. At the same time, the Constitution requires Congress to authorize war. I do not believe that the President can take military action -- including any kind of strategic bombing -- against Iran without congressional authorization. That is why I have supported legislation [GG: also supported by Obama] to bar President Bush from doing so and that is also why I think it is irresponsible to suggest, as some have recently, that anything Congress already has enacted provides that authority.” That’s kind of a funny position for Hillary! to take, since she (well…technically her husband) authorized a bunch of air strikes against Iraq when they broke the terms of the 1991 cease fire repeatedly. My how the rhetoric of the far left changes when one of their own is in the White House.

The left has already started saying how “judicious” (Jim McDermott) Barack Obama has been in taking action in Libya, while George W. Bush took us into Iraq “all alone” and without any international support. Let’s look at this from a couple of angles. Obama got authorization from the United Nations, but not from our own Congress. THAT is not legal according to the War Powers Act. George W. Bush also waited for a UN resolution before Iraq 2003, but he didn’t need it, nor did he need Congressional approval, which he got anyway. Iraq had violated a ceasefire treaty that had been agreed upon in 1991. The terms mandated that if Saddam broke the agreement, the Desert Storm Coalition was OBLIGED under international law to reform and forcibly remove him from power. Our own Senate had agreed to that ceasefire accord, so further Congressional approval was not necessary. How many times do I need to repeat this before it sinks into the dense liberal skulls…and the dense skulls of the GOP? When the left calls W a “cowboy”, we need to make this point clearly!

When one group of people launches over 50 mortar shots across a border into another people’s territory, it is usually considered to be an act of war. The peaceful folks of Hamas did just that on Saturday. Of course, any retaliation by the Israelis will be considered unjustified and pure-D-wrong by the world community, but the Crawfish says Israel needs to wipe out all of the rat nests in Gaza and the West Bank. If the so-called palestinians don’t like it, they can move to Jordan or Syria.

Wow. Janet Incompetano can’t screen ANYTHING coming across the border, but she can have every flight coming in from Japan thoroughly screened.

Meanwhile, there is a new drug to help prevent radiation sickness, and it could also help those who face heavy radiation treatments for diseases. It was NOT developed by the eeeeevillll big pharmaceutical companies, and had no union involvement. It was developed by the United States military. Of course, the FDA, which is banning Primatene Mist, hasn’t given the wonder drug approval, yet.

Which is more important, the desires of a few extremist envirowackos or the health of millions of asthma sufferers in the United States. Considering who is in the White House and who is in charge of the Senate, do you really have any doubt to the answer for that question? Primatene Mist, the ONLY over the counter inhaler for mild asthma, is going to be banned by the FDA because it contains chlorofluorocarbons. CFCs are on The Prophet Algoracle’s no-no list, and that trumps health concerns in America.

Somehow, I think this preacher is about as “reverend” as Jesse Hijackson and Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton. “Gimme all yo mo-nay, or you will go to Hell!”

I’m not saying that I knew who was going to be number 1 or anything, but I did live in that area for seven years.

They’re not union, but they certainly leftists, and their civility is just what we have come to expect from the left. Socialists banded together with anti-American left-wing open border advocates for a rally in the City of the Illegal Mayor. Their civility message was, “OPEN THE FU**ING BORDERS!” Well, that and American conservatives are Nazis and racists.

GOOD NEWS! We have now reached the point where all “mandatory” federal spending, which does NOT include Defense, now exceeds all revenue that the gummint takes in! Yes, even if we were to not spend a dime on the military, homeland security, interstate highways, national parks, and all other “discretionary” programs, we would still have a deficit. Thank you Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy P-Lousy. In the last year of W, the “mandatory” spending was $914 billion LESS than the revenue. If we were to really look at the “mandatory” programs, we would probably find that the majority of that spending is not Constitutional, so it really isn’t “mandatory” at all.

FINALLY! The Securities and Exchange Commission is filing charges against some of the executives of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for the roles they had in the credit collapse and all of the fraud that had been committed by those entities. Unfortunately, Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick, who both made millions from Freddie and Fannie, are not being charged since they were also big-time Democrat fundraisers and donors.

If y’all come across any weird/stoooopid/strange news stories that might be fodder for The Weekly Claw or The Weekend Claw, e-mail them to me at CrawfishsClaw@yahoo.com and I’ll consider ‘em. Yes, I will give you newshounds credit.

3-16-2011 The Weekly Claw

his week I found out that my grandfather had worked for North American Aviation during World War 2, building P-51 Mustangs. Well, he worked there until a supervisor said “If this war keeps up, we’ll all get RICH!” Poppa, who had seen war up close and personal in the trenches of France 25 years earlier, punched the idiot out, and got fired.

While Gaddafi-Duck and his army are attacking the Libyan rebels, the Useless Nations is taking exactly zero action on the situation, and the Chinese will veto any action that the Security Council proposes, what is Dear Leader doing? Is he establishing American leadership? Japan’s situation is beyond a simple crisis, and what is The Won doing? Well, he’s filling out his NCAA brackets on television and going golfing for the 61st time since his coronation. I’ve always said that he wanted to be PRESIDENT, and have all of the power, privilege, perks, and adulation, but he has never wanted to BE President!

The Obama Administration, knowing that what THEY say means more than what any court has to say, has told the Supreme Court that they had best back off of Obamacare until all of the cases wind their way through the appeals process. The Won knows that it will take years to get through all of the procedural wrangling, and that he will probably be retired by the time it gets to SCOTUS. He also knows that the program goes fully into effect in 2014, and once it does, there will be almost no way to reverse it even if SCOTUS declares it unConstitutional. The Administration is even going so far as to say that the Attorney General of Virginia has no standing in the case, even though he represents his state against the unConstitutional law.

Okay, liberals. Read this and then TRY to explain how Eric Holder is not a racist. He says that reparations and jobs for unqualified blacks carry much more importance than public safety. He has also proven his racism in Dayton, Ohio, as he is now requiring the city to lower its exam standards for applicants to the police department. You see, too many blacks weren’t smart enough to pass the exam. This will help fight crime in Dayton exactly how? I’d say that it will make the lives of criminals, especially black criminals, much easier. The city needs to tell Holder to go away, and that they will take the most qualified applicants, no matter what color or gender they are. Where does Eric Holder get any Constitutional authority to control how cities or states hire their workers?

Holder’s hand-picked assistant is expected to release the Injustice Department’s internal report into the dropping of the case against the New Black Panther Party for their blatant voter intimidation in Filthadelphia in 2008. The report will say that since the perps are black, that there is no real case against them and that the actions of Holder’s gang were completely proper.

What happens when EIGHTEEN black men sexually assault an 11-year old white girl? Well, in Cleveland, Texas, the black community gets mad at the little girl and her parents! Yes, they are rallying around the EIGHTEEN black men who raped the little girl, saying that she didn’t scream “RAPE!” and that her parents didn’t raise her right. Quanell X, a BLACK MUSLIM RACIST (aka “community activist” or “community organizer) and member of the Nation of Islam (until he got kicked out for public relations reasons) and the New Black Panther Party (protected by Eric Holder) even lead the rally. I’m surprised Jesse Hijackson and the Not-So-Reverend Al haven’t put in guest appearances, with this kind of rampant racism going on. The message is clear: if there is violence between blacks and whites, it is ALWAYS Whitey’s fault.

It must also be Whitey’s fault that the graduation rates at schools in the NCAA tournament for white Division 1 college basketball players is 91 percent, while the rate for blacks is only 59 percent.

Denver must have a Democrat city council. They just voted for big pay raises for all elected officials, even though the city faces a $100,000,000.00+ deficit this year, and it could get much worse.

They really did screw up the title of this article. It should read “Some in GOP grow tired of the Constitution.”

So much for civility. The union thugs have now issued public death threats to the Republican Senators in Wisconsin, and the threats extend to their families. Jesse Hijackson even threatened violence in the streets (on the same day that Obama was decrying bullying). Both of those threats of violence were promptly ignored by the liberal media. Someone needs to tell the leeches that the days of living extremely well on the public teat are coming to an end, and they must learn to live like their private sector counterparts. Public sector union workers in Wisconsin get much higher wages and better benefits than the rest of the state, and they feel that it is their RIGHT to be compensated that way. THEY are more important than the little people who are not working for the government. The rest of the state disagrees, and elections have consequences.

Ahhhhhh….union thuggery at its finest. The heads of all of the Madison area police and firefighter unions have sent letters to business owners telling them to support the unions against the Governor, or get boycotted by their unions. If you read between the lines, the unions are threatening to withhold fire and police protection from these businesses. Yep, it is a good old mafia (or Jesse Jackson) shakedown.

Here’s some more union civility. Thankfully, the reporter was able to point out the moronity of one of the agitators. She named her daughter Ash-Lee, and is proud to see her arrested.

I’m not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is a liar, but his continual lies that go unchallenged by the liberal media are simply astounding. His energy policy is designed to stifle our nation. He promised, “Under my plan energy prices would necessarily skyrocket”, and that is one of the promises that he aims to keep.

I don’t know of any civilization in history in which the slaves were among the richest people in the land, but Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings says that the NFL owners’ treatment of the players is “modern-day slavery.” Hey, jerk! Try holding a real job or enlisting in the military for 4 years and see how your current job compares to slavery. What a spoiled brat.

The idiocy of the liberal mind is a wonder to behold. This new set of requirements is sure to be a great help…in getting patients to die before they reach the hospital.

At least the Indian Navy seems to know how to handle piracy. Even after the Indian victory, the Somali pirates are threatening revenge.

Since 1998, there have been over 5 million people killed in the Congo, even though there have been United Nations peace keepers stationed there. According to professional script reader Ben Affleck, this is not a failure. Peace keepers allow 5 million to be killed and it is NOT a failure? Obviously, script reading does not require intelligence.

Welcome to the Islamification of America. The Followers of the Pedophilic False Prophet now have as one of their goals the destruction of the Statue of Liberty, and its replacement with a muslim minaret. You see, Lady Liberty is a subject of worship and is based upon the (false) Roman goddess Libertas. It is offensive to the 6th century barbarians, so it must be removed just like the ancient statues of Buddah were removed by artillery fire in Afghanistan by the Taliban. The Crawfish says that it is time to remove the muslims from America, since they are offended by our nation, our Constitution, and Lady Liberty…and we are offended by THEM! And their terroristic goals of world conquest and a worldwide Caliphate under Shariah Law.

We all know that the District of Columbia is a haven for the pure and just, right? There wouldn’t be any corruption in the city government there, would there? I mean, they don’t have a history of electing mayors who were known crackheads or anything, right? Oh well, I guess the new mayor fits right in with their illustrious past.

I have found yet another reason that all Americans should hate Hugo Chavez.

I’ll leave y’all with this mixture of science and the culinary arts. I know a bunch of folks who need to buy that book!

If y’all come across any weird/stoooopid/strange news stories that might be fodder for The Weekly Claw or The Weekend Claw, e-mail them to me at CrawfishsClaw@yahoo.com and I’ll consider ‘em. Yes, I will give you newshounds credit.

3-9-2011 The Weekly Claw

And awaaaaaay we go! I’ve got a lot for ya this week, and that’s despite starting a new job, dealing with the puppies, dealing with the kids, and surviving another Mardi Gras.

We’ll start off this week with one of the best videos in history. Here is a union supporter asking a Tea Party member “Why do you have a right to your money?” Seriously? Well, that is the liberal paradigm wrapped up in a single sentence. The money that you have earned through your own efforts belongs to THEM, not you.

Here’s another civility update brought to you by the Service Employees International Union, aka the Purple Shirt Thugs. If this kind of childishness had been perpetrated by conservatives, it would be front page news for a week.

After the protests at the State House, the unions offered to clean up the mess, but only for big bucks. Tea Party members got together and did the job for free, proving once again that they are nothing but racist right-wing extremists.

The bloated idiot Michael Moore-on joined the protesters in Wisconsin, and said “America is not broke, the country is awash in wealth and cash ... It has been transferred in the greatest heist in history from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.” Uh, greatest heist in history? The people who have amassed the money are those who have worked for it and have been smart enough to use it to make even more money.

Union teachers suck so much at “educating” the kids that they kids can’t pass their high school graduation exams. So how do we fix that problem? Do we hire better teachers and give real education instead of liberal indoctrination? Of course not. The solution is to ditch the state exams. That way the kids will remain uneducated, but won’t have their feelings hurt when their test scores prove it.

I’ll let theblogprof handle this bit of insanity from Seattle. His commentary is spot-on.

Theblogprof has another good one for this week. It appears that the new company line for the Dim-ocrats is that the GOP is destroying the economy. The Dims don’t seem to understand that THEY control the Senate and the White House, and controlled the House until 2 months ago. Red Nanny P-Lousy, Dingy Harry, and Barack Obama are personally responsible for about 36% of the federal debt. THEY raised spending by 84%. Yet somehow, the GOP is to blame?

Jesse-be-the-Jackson Junior has lost his left-wing extremist mind. He says that we need to change the Constitution so that everyone has a RIGHT to a home, to medical care, to an education, and a laptop and iPod for every child. Somehow, he believes that if we make these things RIGHTS, then there will be lots of jobs in home construction and lots of new doctors. Uh…Junior? Who is going to pay for those homes that you say are a RIGHT? If it is a RIGHT, then they must be free for all, which means the American taxpayers are going to have to pay for all of them. What doctor is going to work for FREE, if medical care is a RIGHT? The Son of Shakedown Artist has once again proven himself to be a complete idiot, with a mantra of gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

The current fiscal year’s deficit is over $1,650,000,000,000.00, but Turban Durbin and the rest of the Dims say that they will only accept budget cuts of $10,500,000,000.00, which is less than one-third of one percent of the budget. Simply incredible.

Let’s see now…in FY2007, the last budget year for W before Pelosi and Reid took over Crapitol Hill, the deficit was $160,700,000,000.00. The Barack Obama-Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid debt for LAST MONTH ALONE was $223,000,000,000.00. Yes, sports fans, the Dim-ocrat deficit in one single month was 138% of the deficit for a whole year under W. Why can’t the Dims admit that it is THEIR spending that is out of control and that it must be reduced heavily? The latest Dim proposal is supposedly for $6,000,000,000.00, but the CBO points out that it is, in reality, only $4,700,000,000.00 in cuts, which amounts to about 2.1% of February’s deficit alone, yet a top Dim Senator said that they cannot accept cuts over $6,000,000,000.00 from the total budget, which is still only 2.69% of February’s deficit.

The Crawfish has just been educated by a Congresscritter. Representative Poe (R-TX 02) has pointed out that all foreign aid is lumped into a single bill with a single vote. Our Congress doesn’t even vote on nations individually to get our aid money. There’s about 192 nations in the world, and over 150 of them get OUR money! Most of them don’t even like us, and some are our enemies! This is a pretty good speech from the House floor.

If Obamacare is such a wonderful law, then why has the Administration now granted over 1000 waivers? Why have so many entities that helped Obama push it through asked for said waivers?

Looks like Dingy Harry’s son learned well from his father. He violated campaign finance laws in Nevada to get $750,000+ from unions funneled into his campaign for Governor.

The scandal involving the ATF selling confiscated weapons to the drug cartels in Mexico, all to be able to say that American guns were being illegally trafficked so we need more gun control, is coming unraveled. Agents are now publicly stating that they were ORDERED to illegally sell the guns, and the authorization went all the way up to Eric Holder’s Injustice Department. One of those illegally sold weapons was used to murder an American federal agent. Now, the head of the ATF is stating that he’s starting an investigation, but that will end up being a cover-up, and will probably be directed by Holder’s office and the White House. Oops. Looks like I typed too soon, as the cover-up is already starting!

The Injustice Department operation that illegally sold weapons in Mexico has really gotten screwed up. Eric Holder’s “people” have lost track of the weapons. We know of a few that have shown up, many in busts so the press can see how American guns are being used in Mexico so there can be another excuse for our own gun laws to be strengthened. Another was used to murder an American federal agent. Eric Holder needs to be charged with Accessory to Murder.

A firefight between armed illegal aliens and Border Patrol agents within Arizona back in December resulted in the death of one American Border Patrolman. To make matters worse, the Americans were forced by Obama Administration policy to use beanbag weapons as their first shots, despite them knowing that the non-drybacks were armed.

I’m really of two minds in relation to this story. Of course I want ALL illegal aliens deported, including children born here to illegal aliens (a correct reading of the 14th Amendment denies them “anchor baby” status since they are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of any state if they are here illegally), but I definitely understand the exemption. State Representative Debbie Riddle says that homeowners who are hiring maids or people to mow their yards don’t have access to E-Verify or any other way to check immigration status.

Welfare. Here is yet another example of why it needs to be ended now. The only people who should get money from the government while doing no work are those who are physically and/or mentally incapable of working. If the lazy don’t get that gummint check, they will either starve or be forced to find a job.

Check out what the left-wing extremists at the National Education Association want to teach your kids. Yes, they want graphic sex education, with part of the agenda being to break down gender identification and increase acceptance of homosexuality and all other deviant behavior. This is straight out of the goals of the Communist Party from 1963. Notice that the Communists, like today’s Democrats, wanted to destroy America’s families and moral fiber. Anything that smacks of right vs wrong must be torn down. Do you really wonder why they hate our Constitution and religion so much?

Another American who was a spy for the KGB has died, and of course the American left is praising her for her wonderful work in support of communism. How much more of this will we have to take before Americans realize that the mainstream media and the Democratic Party is opposed to our nation?

Are union bosses really all about doing their job for the workers, or are they just in it for their own profit and power? Well, since almost none of the top union people in America have actually WORKED in a union shop in the past 15 years, we know it isn’t because they have solidarity with the REAL union members. Many of them are making more per year than Barack Obama, although with much less all-expenses-paid vacation time. Governor Walker said it well, “When they say it’s about worker rights, it’s really about big union bosses running their own political dynasties.”

3-2-2011 The Weekly Claw

Happy Texas Independence Day! One hundred and seventy five years ago today, the Texas Declaration of Independence was adopted.

Today’s life lesson is: Look for the union label, then buy something else!

Quote of the week: “In New Jersey, we’re not trying to break the unions … the unions are trying to break the middle class.” –Governor Chris Christie

Well, the mystery of why President Obama refused to call for Moammar Gadhafi’s ouster when Gadhafi was being much more brutal in his attacks on protesters has been solved. You see, Obama’s spiritual advisor for over 20 years, the famously racist and Marxist Rev. Wright, has ties to Gadhafi and even accompanied Calypso Louie on a trip to visit Gadhafi in 1984. Gadhafi also has ties to the Nation of Islam and the Million (actually 400K) Man March. On top of that, many of the top black American stars of the music world have been known to party with Gadhafi’s family. Obama can’t be messin’ with his main voting blocs, can he?

The Religion of Peace has struck again, and this time it was in Texas. A student at South Plains Community College, here on a student visa from Saudi Arabia, has been arrested on terrorism charges. He was stockpiling bomb making materials. His writings and online postings show that he wanted to help the jihad. He was planning to strike multiple targets, including the Dallas home of George W. Bush.

Speaking of that cult of violence, the beheading of a wife by her muslim in an “honor killing” has absolutely NOTHING to do with Islam, according to National Public Radio. Yes, imbecilic NPR just parrots what their masters in the Dim-ocratic Party say. They refuse to acknowledge that the Followers of the Pedophilic False Prophet are nothing but murderous animals at war with everything non-muslim.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Calypso Louie has come out and said that Middle East style protests and uprisings will soon come to America. Does that mean the Tea Party folks will overthrow the current socialist government? The idiot also tried to say that the Jews are pushing America into a war over Libya, and that the Jews were disproportionately involved in the slave trade. Doesn’t this idiot realize that the African slaves were captured and sold to the slavers by rival tribes and African muslims? Go back to the Mothership, moron!

The ego of the leaders of the far-left is really something to behold. The DNC was going to honor Red Nanny P-Lousy for being the most extreme anti-Constitutional Speaker of the House in American history, but the resolution didn’t meet HER standards. So she had her daughter change it.

Get a load of what Michael Mooreon is saying about wealthy Americans and their money. “They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own -- they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it. I think we need to go back to taxing these people at the proper rates. They need to -- we need to see these jobs as something we some, that we collectively own as Americans and you can't just steal our jobs and take them someplace else.” Is there any doubt that he is a marxist-socialist stooge? Why does anybody with an IQ above room temperature listen to his garbage?

A man who is wanted on multiple warrants for drug trafficking is pulled over by the police. The cop tells him to get out of the car, that he is under arrest. The drug dealer locks the door and starts the car. The cop reaches in to unlock the door. The drug dealer raises his window, trapping the cop’s arm, and starts to drive away, accelerating towards the freeway, with the cop dragging from the car. The cop, fearing for his life, pulls his gun and kills the drug dealer. The cop’s actions are completely justified and legitimate, right. Oh, did I mention that the drug dealer was black? That makes it a raaaaaacist incident. Check out some of the comments from the black protesters: “Word has to get out concerning what's happening in the black community," said the Rev. Randolph Shaheed, who helped organize the protests. "We're not trying to be radical as it relates to violence. We're out here trying to be radical as it relates to change. Change has to come.” (Sorry, but we’ve seen the results of your kind of CHANGE. See the train wreck in the White House and the Injustice Department) “We've been getting dragged through our own community for years now. We're grown. Now we've got some power behind us, whether the police department knows it or not, and we're fixing to take action. This was wrong.” (Going to take action? Sounds like you’re threatening law enforcement now. Do you really want a race war?) The police are “just another form of militia -- they're just an organized gang.” “This man was killed with three children in the car. I ask people all over the world: If your father, your mother or your brother was killed with children in the car, how would you respond?” The Crawfish would respond by saying that the drug dealer DESERVED to get killed for attempting to murder a police officer, and he was stoooopid enough to do it with kids in the car. It was HIS FAULT, not the cop’s fault!

“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” That definitely sounds like a quote from one of today’s left wing socialist members of the Democratic Party, a union leader, and/or a community organizer. Actually, it comes from a 1927 speech by Adolf Hitler. For those poor, misguided folks, “educated” by union teachers, who believe that the National Socialist Workers Party (Nazis) were a far-right wing party, here is yet more proof, taken directly from their own party platform, that they were actually a left wing party.

I don’t always agree with Newt Gingrich, and I certainly don’t see myself voting for him, but he is completely correct in this assessment regarding His Majesty’s taking the law into his own hands.

And now for another update from the Prophet Algoracle Glo-Bull Warming Network. Than Franthithco saw some snow for the first time in 35 years. Has anybody heard from that fraud lately?

“I'm not going to apologize for spending money to service our members.” So sayeth the head of Noo Yawk’s United Federation of Teachers. Remember that bulls “service” cows, and you’ll see what the union is really doing to the teachers. The union bosses are living in luxury, with $250,000+ salaries, union-paid arrival and departure parties, and a $1.4 million party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the union. Meanwhile, thousands of teachers are facing pink slips, but hey…it’s all about the union power and the union bosses.

Have y’all heard that the teachers union in Wisconsin is under investigation for corruption and failing to properly pay their taxes? I wonder why the lamestream media was ignoring that story.

The Congressional Racist Cau…er, Congressional Black Caucus has come out saying that all budget cuts proposed by the GOP are raaaaaacist and will disproportionately affect black folks. Well, if your party had not given black America so many entitlements and used those entitlements to ruin the black American family structure and work ethic, they wouldn’t be disproportionately affected by cuts to unConstitutional spending! The best thing y’all could do for black Americans is to get them off of the government teat, and out from under the government thumb!

When was the last time there was a scandal involving the White House and the Department of Justice in which both refused to comply with subpoenas from Congressional committees? Well, that would be the one involving a certain hotel in DC that Monica Lewinsky later took up residence in. Yep, Watergate. Will the current scandal bring down an Attorney General and a President like that one did? This one is more serious than Watergate, because it involves the murder of a federal agent.

The anti-2nd Amendment Democrats are at it yet again. This time, Corruptionois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has issued a ruling (wait, COURTS issue rulings, not prosecutors!) that the names of all gun permit holders in the state must be made public, probably so they can have their mobs of welfare moms and welfare druggies protest around the houses of the gun owners. I thought the Dim-ocrats were big on some “Constitutional right of privacy”, which guarantees abortion rights (still can’t trace that logic trail, but…), but evidently does NOT protect the rights of gun owners. At least the State Police are going to fight her in court. Then again, since the Corruptionois Supreme Court ruled recently that Rahm Emanuel simply owning property in Chicago that he rented out is the same as establishing residency during that time, we know that they will rule against the State Police if the Chicago Democratic Machine tells them to.

Did y’all know that the Koch brothers are pure evil? Neither did I.
