Why the LA Times is a Joke

Continuing on in my "Why the Liberal Rags are a Joke" series, today we'll examine a posted in the LA Times blog section by a "veteran columnist" by the name of Andrew Malcolm.

Andrew Malcolm has obviously never heard of sarcasm before and is unable to identify it when it is slapping him right in the face. He wants to take a sarcasm laced segment by Rush Limbaugh on Obama getting all the credit for the successful termination of Bin Laden, and pretend it was serious in what I must believe an attempt to show how wrong Limbaugh has been about Obama all this time. Pretty hilarious that these people live in such La-la land reality to them is beyond their comprehension.

The link: here.

And just because this is such an easy example of why the LA Times is a joke and will probably disappear, I've saved the text:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rush Limbaugh began his radio show Monday morning praising President Obama for his leadership in the demise of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

In his nationally syndicated radio show, Limbaugh who has been one of Obama's fiercest critics, gave the commander-in-chief all the glory in the successful mission that ended the life of Public Enemy No. 1.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama," Limbaugh said. "President Obama has done something extremely effective and when he does, this needs to be pointed out. President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off."

Limbaugh, who has recently criticized the first lady's figure, said in 2009 that he hopes Mr. Obama fails, and complained last year about Americans donating to the post-earthquake humanitarian relief in Haiti, continued about Bin Laden: "You see the military wanted to go in there and bomb. They always do. They wanted to go in there and drop missiles and launch bombs. A number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces," Limbaugh said, with what some are saying is a slight tinge of sarcasm in his delivery.

"Our military wanted to go in there and just scorch the earth," Limbaugh continued, "but President Obama single-handedly understood what was at stake here. He alone understood the need to get DNA to prove the death ... it was President Obama single-handedly and alone who came up with the strategy that brought about the effective assassination of Osama bin Laden," the radio host said, concluding, "Thank God for President Obama."

Obama: Washington Obessessed with Polls and Politics

You know, this is one of the many things that progressives says that sounds great until you actually deconstruct what it really means.

Newsflash: Politicians need to be worried about what the polls say in a Republic because politicians answer to the people. As Obama continues to push his party to ignore polls and what people really want or don't want, he is pushing the dictator's view that what the dictator thinks is best is what needs to happen, and damn the people and what they think. In Obamaworld polls wouldn't matter because he would be a dictator imposing all his ideological policies on us without us having a say in it at all.

In a representative republic, you don't get to muscle your agenda through against the will of the people and not pay the consequences come election time. Ideologues like Obama don't give a rat's behind about any of that. It's all about getting their agenda pushed through whether 50% of people support it or 10% do.

So this is what we are facing today. An out of control government led by a dictator wannabe. Does is stop with this particular piece of legislation? Of course not. What's next is what should really give you nightmares.

CNN "Fact Checks" SNL Skit?

If this doesn't convince you how in the tank the media is for this president, then I doubt anything can. They go and "fact check" the recent SNL skit that barely even scraped at the failures of this president. Seriously, I think I live in some mirror/bizarro world these days where everything is so seriously opposite of what it should be, that you think you're stuck in some nightmare you can't wake up from. The skit was more taking Obama to task for not completing the radical left-wing agenda more than anything else. I will allow however they mentioned Afghanistan and it being worse, giving them some credit. Perhaps CNN and the other liberal-statist-controlled media should "fact check" real world events like the impact this takeover of health care would have on the quality of life of American citizens, how much it would really increase the deficit... oh I could go on, but here is just one part of this madness:

263,000 More Jobs Lost

The report out today continues to show that the economy is hardly "coming back from the brink" as our illustrious president has claimed. 263,000 more people lost their jobs in September. I haven't bothered tuning into the drive-by media to see what kind of spin they're trying to put on this month's numbers, but since it's higher than last month, and well over the forecast number, I'm sure whatever it is they had to brainstorm very hard indeed. On the other hand, I'll do my best guess and say they're probably trying to say how great the fact that last month's number was revised from 216,000 jobs lost to "only" 201,000. Just a hunch though.

So what about the unemployment percentage? The reported number was 9.8%, up another 0.1% from last month. But again this doesn't even begin to tell you the real story. Thousands upon thousands of people recently exhausted the last of their unemployment claim money and are not even counted in those numbers. Neither are people who are now working part-time but want to be working full-time. When you take all these people into account, the actual number could be approaching 20%. The recent numbers on youth unemployment, those aged 16-24, is a whopping 52.2%. Yet you hardly hear that number in the network media, if you hear it at all. Yet in 1982 when it was half that, they were trumpeting it as a sign of failure by then president Ronald Reagan.

So now what Mr. Obama? If the porkulus hadn't been passed, the number would have been 2,630,000 instead? Oh right. He's too busy in Denmark pitching for the Olympics to make his slumlord pal Jarrett and all their friends in Chicago even more rich to be bothered with such a low priority as job loss in the US. I forgot. On the bright side, I guess when the Olympics do start, more people will be jobless, so they'll be home and watching the Olympics. If they don't have to sell their televisions so they can eat. Or get kicked out of their apartments and houses because they can't make rent or the mortgage payments. Yeah, on second thought I guess that isn't such a bright side...

Politicians and Spam Marketers

I was sitting here thinking today as I am known to do. Thinking about our illustrious president and his campaign speeches (and subsequent ones after inauguration that may as well be called campaign speeches) and how they sound so similar to the crap I have to clean out of my e-mail box daily.

"Obama is going to heal the divisions of this country..."

"This magical herbal supplement will make you lose 30 pounds in two hours..."

Most of us can ignore the crap when it slips by the filter and ends up in our in box. So why did so many people fall for the same scam crap-talk from Obama?

I suppose it's because just over half the country really wanted to believe the guy was the friendly centrist he made himself out to be for most of the time on the campaign trail and were blissfully ignorant to the fact that he was a radical statist. They missed the "subtle" clues when he said things like "mandatory volunteerism" and "spread the wealth around" (read: higher taxes on everyone who pays them now). Unfortunately ignorance and stupidity often have the same results.
And now we are stuck with a president that is trying to take away your health care, and is too busy jetting off on a vacation to Denmark with his wife with this Olympic excuse while our troops in Afghanistan die while waiting on Obama to send the reinforcements HIS general has asked for.

So were YOU paying attention? Or did you get suckered into the Hopey Changey Spam Mail and buy the scam?

The Secret's Out

People are finally finding out what the whole politically correct thing is about. All these years that the left has been indoctrinating people via the media and public schools on political correctness has been in anticipation for this moment in history. And now they are bringing it out in full force in a deplorable attempt to silence any and all dissent to this administration's policies. It's what it has been about from the very beginning. A weapon against anybody who does not agree with their leftist agenda.

The race card has been liberal's primary weapon for decades now. And for the longest time it has worked; it was used to keep racist policies like affirmative action in place long after the need for such reverse-racist thinking needs to exist. This is the twenty-first century people. We have a black president. We don't need "quotas" for minorities in business. Yet it's been kept in place because if you aren't in favor of affirmative action you are racist.

But now people are waking up to this. When PC and the race card are used to try to stifle peoples' right to criticize the government, people are going to notice. And it's going to break more and more people out of the brainwashing they've endured over the past few decades.

This president has done the exact opposite of what he's promised in so many ways. But the two things he's doing that is going to hurt everyone in this country are his continued pursuit of destroying private business, and his apparent lack of interest that he is dividing this country further racially than it's been in decades due to his refusal to diffuse the drive-by media's rampant dropping of the race card. The president's minions' half-hearted attempts to play down this the past couple days is not a good enough statement. The president himself must come out and say so himself. Use one of these daily television appearances to do something useful for once.

Obama Wants to Raise your Children Now

It's bad enough public schools are already too busy teaching important things like multiculturalism and global warming instead of less important things like math, science and English. Now the President wants to address your children and tell them what they should be doing since obviously parents are too stupid to be doing that themselves.

Now we can talk about how heads of state are seen and heard in schools in third world dictatorships and not free societies, but that's a whole different argument.

The point is the President and other government officials have no business lecturing to impressionable children whether it's about politics or not. It's not government's place in a free society to interfere and influence children.

How would you like it if I came into your house uninvited and started lecturing your children on how to live, and how to behave? Yeah, I thought so.
