Out with the new

2 05 2008

In with the old! Alright, I tried this out for a while and it turns out I like the old set up better. So if you want to read more keep going to: http://rrwr.blogspot.com

I prefer the customizability of Blogger to this. Plus it’s easier to read, at least for me. I need to find a better layout or site that allows better options before I make any moves.





The Queen stays

5 03 2008

Clinton’s friend Terry McAuliffe is claiming Hillary won’t quit until the last state and Puerto Rico have voted. That means the Democrats will be tearing each other apart until at least June 7. Awesome.

Why she won’t quit:

  1. She won’t be able to catch up to Obama in delegates, but neither can he clinch the nomination.  Even Huckabee is staying in, and he mathematically can’t win.
  2. Since the factor the delegates play on either side has become a wash, the real fight will move to the battleground of the superdelegates.
  3. Obama, hounded by a Clinton campaign that’s finally pulling out all the stops, and the press, who is trying to make up for going easy on him, is getting pounded.  If this continues it will give pause to party officials who won’t want to roll the dice with a shaky nominee.
  4. It’s too early to quit.  There are many states remaining.
  5. She has money.  Tons of it.
  6. Never underestimate a Clinton.




Super Tuesday II

5 03 2008

We don’t know yet what the results are going to be, but I think that at the end of the night, they will favor Hillary. If it does, I’m more and more convinced that this will go all the way to the convention.

It looks like Obama will have a clear delegate lead when you consider the pace of the campaign and his momentum, but mathematically, if you look at the potential delegates up for grabs, neither will be able to win enough to clinch the nomination. Hypothetically, there are enough delegates for either of them to become the nominee.

But realistically, because of proportional representation, every race will be one that splits the delegates closely. Even if Obama or Hillary won every remaining state with a comfortable lead, the other would get enough delegates from the contests to deny the opposition the magic number.

So the only way Obama or Hillary could become the nominee before the convention is if the other one drops out. The race will have to go to the convention, and the superdelegates. By then, I assume that Florida will have come into play and into Hillary’s column.

Then Hillary will be able to argue that while Obama and her share a similar vote and delegate total, her votes are more representative of the Democrat party, being as they are from California, New York, Florida, and other big Blue states. Obama’s strength is that he taps into many Red states, but they can easily be written off as “flyover country” that don’t truly represent Democrats.

That would be all the cover the establishment would need to rally behind her, giving her the delegates to put her over the top. She will have managed to do the impossible and claw the Democrat nomination from the voters hands’, setting her up for a general election duel with her counterpart John McCain, who managed to scrap his way to the top against unthinkable odds as well.

Or, Obama could deliver her a crushing defeat tonight that we will not have seen the likes of for generations and Hillary will pull out of the election in shameful defeat. Only time will tell.





Media in the tank for Hillary

4 03 2008

She put the press in their place: the men’s room. It’s so vindictive… so… Hillary.

But it’s actually more of a comment on the press than Hillary. They are such liberal sheep, so far in the corner for the Democrats, that they’ll allow themselves to be humiliated like this. They can’t wait for her to get out of the way so they can finally consummate their love affair with Barack Obama, but nothing gets under the skin of a liberal journalist more than the prospect of falling out of favor with a fellow liberal.

Anyone with the slightest amount of self respect would have told her to take a hike and written the most scathing anti-Hillary piece they could think of. Instead, they sit there like scolded children, accepting their rightful punishment, allowing their pictures to be taken while they sit there hammering away on their laptops as waste festers in the nearby toilets.

Imagine if it was a Republican that tried to do this. Can you see them reacting this way if it was President Bush? He can’t even look askance at a reporter without the press erupting into jeering laughter at his predicaments. But Hillary commands them to sit in the bathroom as punishment for insufficiently cheering her on, and they fall in line, actually feeling guilty for what they’ve done.





Michelle Obama calls out Hillary

2 03 2008

Michelle Obama went to a rally and said, “Don’t go into corporate America.” She wants people to get out of the “money making” business and into the “people helping” business, as if people in corporate jobs are just dollar hunting schemers.

She singled out some positions to avoid: positions in “corporate law,” and “hedge fund management.” It sounds like another typical attack on business, but do we know anybody famous that went into corporate law, or hedge funds? Hillary and Chelsea Clinton!

Michelle Obama isn’t just attacking businesses, she basically called Hillary a bad mother, saying, “Look, you raised your daughter to be a hedge fund manager,” instead of doing something traditionally feminine. But isn’t that ironic? A feminist raking a woman over the coals for not being loyal to traditional gender roles!

All of these years, feminists have been pounding women, trying to convince them that they shouldn’t be nurses, that they shouldn’t be teachers. They shouldn’t be mothers or social workers. They should not be doing traditional female nurturing things. They should not be the helpers Michelle Obama is now urging them to be.

After all, women were supposed to go out into the corporate world. They were supposed to climb the corporate ladder, and blast through the “glass ceiling.” They were supposed to put away their gardening tools and pots and pans and become lawyers and businessmen. So which is it?

So, by her own liberal logic, Michelle Obama isn’t for women; she’s for the subjugation of women! She wants women in the home; she wants them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

The first black President and co-President are being ripped by a black woman; a feminist is hitting Hillary for not raising Chelsea to conform to a traditional woman’s roles; the invincible campaign is crashing on the rocks of an upstart insurgent. Up is down! Black is white. Nothing makes sense anymore…





Grim milestone reached in Iraq: media interest in surge success falls to dangerously unstable levels

2 03 2008


So, the Democrats fail miserably to make the right call on the surge, and nobody cares. Does anybody think that the same would have been true for John McCain if the surge had failed as spectacularly as it succeeded?





Foreign aid cut: women and minorities hardest hit

2 03 2008

It seems that food shipments to some of the poorest countries in Africa will be cut, due to soaring food costs.

But who are the culprits? Now, as a clueless bumpkin in “flyover country,” my knowledge of economics is meager indeed, but isn’t it true that when demand increases, prices will increase? Perhaps the price of corn would not be skyrocketing if not for the demands to hoard fields of it to produce ethanol, thus cutting into the amount available for food.

Who is pushing for ethanol? Why, environmentalists, of course, who don’t care that their precious hybrid fuels and cars are starving poor people in Africa.





Obama 2004: I won’t run in ‘08

25 02 2008

“I am a believer in knowing what you’re doing when you’re applying for a job.”





No political reconciliation in Clinton’s War in Kosovo

21 02 2008

Kosovo is blowing up right now—tanks, people in the streets, fires, the US embassy has been attacked; revolution in the streets.

It is very obvious, is it not, that the Clinton deal in Kosovo has not made the required political progress to secure the peace. You can have military victory, but not without political reconciliation. This war is lost. It’s time to pull up the stakes and go home.





Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

CNN: al Qaeda calls Barack to "congratulate him on win"

At least we know who CNN is in the tank for.





Matthews to Obama flunky: Name one accomplishment

20 02 2008

We’re not even talking about random people, here. How meager is his record when not even one of his spinsters can come up with something?

Hey, let’s celebrate mass murderers

19 02 2008

Hanging on the wall at an Obama campaign office:


Che Guevara, Great Salesman of Communism
Obama, the same person who refuses to wear an American flag lapel pin or salute the American flag during the pledge of allegiance has a campaign office with the flag of a Communist country alongside the image of a mass murderer.

Fidel Castro’s personal executioner, Che Guevara has wormed his way into the hearts of Leftists everywhere.

He was a man who reveled in violence and killing. He was a brutish thug that cloaked his bloodlust under the guise of idealism.

The man who’s face liberals emblazon on their belongings as a trendy chic is the same man who praised the “extremely useful hatred that turns men into effective, violent, merciless, and cold killing machines.” Who knew concentration camps were the new black?

Instructing his judicial tribunals, he said, “We don’t need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him.”

Summing up Marxism, after describing how he shot a helpless poor old man in the head at point-blank range: “He went into convulsions for a while and was finally still. Now his belongings were mine.”

In fact, his refrains of glorious martyrdom make him remarkably similar to another “revolutionary” — the tall, bearded one holed up somewhere in a cave in Pakistan. But all of this is just kosher because he did the one thing that matters: criticize America. What a hero!

Somehow I doubt the reaction would have been so tame had it been a Republican found with a Nazi flag in his office.





A day in the life of an Obama supporter

19 02 2008

Even liberals can’t resist ribbing followers of Obamania.





Barbarism alive and well

19 02 2008

Horse fighting in the Philippines is a reminder of the inhumanity Man is capable of.

But, who are we to say anything? It’s not our culture, right? We don’t want to impose our values, do we? Too bad about those horses.





"Gun Free Zone" rename

16 02 2008

I thought we could look at other possible names for a “gun free zone.” My ideas:

  • Shooting range
  • Target practice zone
  • Self-defense free zone
  • Sitting ducks zone
  • Easy targets zone

If you have any ideas put them down, and if they’re really good, I might read them.





Another massacre

15 02 2008

More deaths in the latest school shooting at Northern Illinois University. How many more people have to die before liberals realize that “gun free zone” might as well read “shooting range”?





If there was any probing, it wasn’t in the questions

12 02 2008

Katie Couric, who makes more than $1 million a month as the CBS anchor, “interviewed” Hillary Clinton for CBS.

I’d call it a softball interview but that would be an insult to hard working and skilled softball players everywhere.

Here are some of the highlights after Katie remembered where she was. Keep in mind, these are questions to vet the next President of the United States.

  • “Have you grappled with the idea, Senator Clinton, that it could be him, and not you?”
  • “Even in your deepest darkest moments, when you’re exhausted, you don’t think, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m going through this, I’m spending so much money, I’m so tired, and it could all be for naught?’
  • How do you do it?  I mean, the satellite interviews, the speeches, the travel, the debates, the schmoozing, the picture taking, 24/7.”
  • “And I know I’ve read that when you brought home stellar grades, instead of praising you, he’d [Hillary's father] say, ‘You must be going to an easy school.’ … That must have been so demoralizing.”
  • “I understand when he joined the Senate he [Obama] came to see you for advice.  And you told him to work hard.”
  • “Do you like Obama?”
I’m sure this is how it would play out if Mrs. Clinton had a “R” next to her name.
Hmmm… I wonder who Mrs. Couric is voting for.
Hold your head up high, ladies!  If you’re a D and you’ve got a V, then Hillary is there for you.
But there is no liberal media.




Wishing people dead

12 02 2008

So I heard a tragic story about a father and his 15 year old sons killed by a Jihadist landmine in Afghanistan. The tragedy of the story is slightly lessened by the fact that it was the jihadists themselves planting the mine that were killed.

But it made me wonder: why couldn’t it have been Bill Maher instead?

On Maher’s show Friday, Rush Limbaugh’s name came up, and Maher’s response was to say, “Why couldn’t he have croaked… instead of Heath Ledger?”

What you feel about Rush is irrelevant. What I find hilarious is how those so-called champions of “tolerance” — the people who earn their keep smearing conservatives as hateful, mean-spirited people — actually earn their living wishing death on those who don’t agree with them. It’s hilarious!

You know, Limbaugh doesn’t agree with liberals, so, ha ha, it’s a shame he’s not dead from an accidental addiction to a painkiller instead of a guy who mixed 8 different serious medications but, you know, bravely played a homosexual in an agenda driven flick.


Maher’s thoughtful view of conservatives
Ann Coulter calls Edwards a girl, and liberals go nuts about her “slurs.” Bill Maher wishes Rush Limbaugh dies of an overdose, and… ? And… ? …? …

This shouldn’t come across as a surprise to anyone who has actually come across progressive opinion. Beneath the supposed compassion of liberalism is the undercurrent of fascism: the urge to crush dissent, to stifle all opinions deviating from the politically correct orthodoxy, to smother our freedom in the cradle until all that is left is the freedom to do as they please.

For liberals, who have become fat and lazy from a sympathetic media, and knowing that they cannot compete with conservatives, who have had to run their arguments through the obstacle course of the liberal press — advocating death is a harmless option.

But at least Maher’s audience didn’t clap like the mindless drones they usually are. So maybe they’re not as dumb as I thought. Oh, who am I kidding — of course they are!

And for that — they should die!
