I noticed he was doing a bit of legacy polishing by mouthing the words to the National anthem while it was being sung. He even mouthed Amen at the end.

The left media was nice enough to give him camera time during it.

I don't get it - what's wrong with that?

I had a different take on it. Obama's mouthing the words to the national anthem, maybe to virtue signal. Maybe because, even though he has a [STRIKE]different[/STRIKE] ****ed up vision of America, he probably likes the America he helped it become.

But my thoughts seeing that, was the juxtaposition of him sort of blissfully mouthing the words to the national anthem with the scowl on Michelle's face during the national anthem. Dayam. That woman can scowl.

Funny how they never attacked McCain. His campaign slogan was "Country First."

Many slogans have been recycled. And the people that hate them, we're usually for them a decade ago.

He's not a threat to "them"... he's become one of them, or at least a useful tool...

I do not like Nazis on a boat with a goat while eating green eggs and ham.

How does that work? Nazis WERE fascists, and both were rabidly anti-communist (if that's what the smallest one says).

Bill doesn't swing that way....

You are stating facts and using logic, neither of which matter to the Progressives or the media.

The Nazis were National Socialists. Mussolini's Republican Fascist Party were . . . fascists.

Dr. Suess was explaining that "America First!" was a stalking horse for the Silver Shirts allowing the Nazis and Fascists to grow stronger in Europe.

You need to read up on them. Operational differences between the Fascist and Nazis were negligible, and Hitler modeled his party of after Benito's. The Communists fit in here how? They were in the process of killing each other off when we got involved.

What? Where does one . . .?

In the 1930s when people, such as Dr. Seuss who drew the 1930s cartoon (I think it first ran in PM the Lefty rag that Teddy was on staff) which I posted, said "Fascists" they meant the Republican Fascist Party of Benito Mussolini.

Benito Mussolini invented the term "fascism" in 1919. So, in the context of Dr. Seuss, and everyone in 1930s Western civilization, "fascist" meant Mussolini, not Nazis, thus the distinction between the two.

I suspect she isn't "free".

All these various people weep for "poor Palestine". It's so sad, they say, that Israel STOLE their land!

It's in the form of a joke, however, the following is illustrative:

Have you heard the one about Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Chairman Yasir Arafat finally sitting down to negotiate? Sharon opened with a "biblical" tale. "Before the Israelites came to the Promised Land and settled here, Moses led them for 40 years through the desert. One day, miraculously, a stream appeared. They drank and then decided to bathe. When Moses came out of the water, he found all his clothes missing. "Who took my clothes?' Moses asked. 'It was the Palestinians,' replied the Israelites."

"Wait a minute," interrupted Arafat. "There were no Palestinians during the time of Moses!"

"All right," smirked Sharon, "now that we've got that settled, let's start talking."

Further, I saw something interesting a few years ago, and finally found it again. Attribution is questionable, so I'll mark it "author unknown":

The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians. It's a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for 2000 years.

Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, and there were no "Palestinians" then, and the West Bank was owned by Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians" then. As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians," weeping for their deep bond with their lost "land" and "nation." Even Arafat was not Palestinian, he was born in Cairo, Egypt no matter how much he tried to hide that fact earlier.

So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word "Palestinian" any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our deaths until someone points out they're being taped. Instead, let's call them what they are: "Other Arabs From The Same General Area Who Are In Deep Denial About Never Being Able To Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death." I know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then: "Adjacent Jew-Haters."

Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing. No, they don't. They could've had their own country any time in the last 30 years, especially two years ago at Camp David. But if you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage trucks and Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living. That's no fun. No, they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course-that's where the real fun is-but mostly they want Israel. Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel-or "The Zionist Entity" as their textbooks call it - for the last 50 years has allowed the rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people away from the fact that they're the blue-ribbon most illiterate, poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth, and if you've ever been around God's Earth, you know that's really saying something.

It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about the great history and culture of the Muslim Mideast. Unless I'm missing something, the Arabs haven't given anything to the world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one. Chew this around and spit it out: Five hundred million Arabs; five million Jews. Israel is the "oppressor?" Guess again.

Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals.

Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive every Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were just kidding.

My friend Kevin Rooney made a gorgeous point the other day: Just reverse the numbers. Imagine five hundred million Jews and five million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple brilliance of it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razor blades and dynamite to themselves? Of course not. Or marshaling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab State into the sea? Nonsense. Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible. Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting. No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate them to death.

Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tightrope. I understand that with vital operations in Iraq and elsewhere, it's in our interest, as Americans, to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much as possible, and, after all, that can't be much harder than stabilizing a roomful of supermodels who've just had their drugs taken away.

However, in any big-picture strategy, there's always a danger of losing moral weight. We've already lost some. After September 11 our president told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries that supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week (and then every day) start to do the same thing we did, and we tell them to show restraint. If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming for the administration to just be done with it and kill everything south of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan. (Hey, wait a minute, that's actually not such a bad id . . uh, that is, what a horrible thought, yeah, horrible.)

I don't, obviously, support the tongue-in-cheek references to wholesale destruction, and admittely, I've not fact-checked this piece. I do think the opinion portions of it, whoever's opinions they were, are worthy of consideration.

OK, the last pic is more sad but true than it is funny. Not much funny about anything in this situation, though.

Blessings,
Bill
