The Power of Words

I hate it when stupid Internet crap moves me.  I must be getting soft.

Fear No Tyranny!

On May 5th, our President took the opportunity to tell the Class of 2013 graduates that their government is definitely not “some separate, sinister entity” like people have said, which is why anyone caught questioning this irrefutable fact should be outright rejected.

Listen to him say it in his own words.  Ayn Rand would certainly disagree with Obama's first sentence.  I would certainly agree with Ayn Rand.

The fact that the President actually spoke these words to college graduates shouldn't shock anyone.  Who better to try to carry on the infecting of a roomful of minds that have been socially indoctrinated for the last four years?  But I digress...

Only five days later, the IRS found itself apologizing for targeting citizen groups politically opposed to the Obama agenda.  Lois Lerner, the director of an IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups, acknowledged that the agency had singled out nonprofit applicants with the terms “Tea Party” or “patriots” in their titles.  How did the Obama Administration respond?  How do they ALWAYS respond?

BLAME BUSH!

Obama mouthpiece Jay Carney stated two critical errors in his finger pointing response to the scandal.  First, Carney said the events in question happened while the IRS was under the directorship of a Bush administration appointee.  These IRS actions were carried out from 2010 through 2012; two years after Obama was elected.   Second, Carney went on to state that the IRS is an agency run independently of White House oversight.   Really?  The IRS is the enforcement arm of the Department of Treasury, which is part of the Executive Branch.

Since Obama used the term, "tyranny", I feel it should be defined here.

Pronunciation: tir--n
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -nies 1 : a government in which all power is in the hands of a single ruler
2 : harsh, cruel, and severe government or conduct
3 : a tyrannical act  

Someone should explain that to Jay Carney, after they explain to him the basics of our checks and balances system of government comprised of the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches.

Even MSNBC has used the T word in describing this scandal.  I wonder is anyone in the mainstream media will remember that using the IRS to target political opponents was one of the counts used in Nixon’s Articles of Impeachment.  Oops!  No way.  Nixon was a Republican.

Mothers Day

They say time heals all wounds. It's been years since mama died and it's no easier today than the very day after.  I've arrived at the conclusion that time doesn't heal shit. Time is a thief.

One of the most valuable things I've leaned since losing my mother is that if anyone I leave behind after I die misses me like I miss her, my life would have had real meaning.

Answers

I posed the question last year about the survivors of the Benghazi terrorist attacks on September 11, 2012.  Looks like some of my questions have been answered.  Despite threats of legal, job, and personal retaliation, the surviving heroes are speaking up and what they have to say casts President Obama and former Secretary of State in the very light so many of us knew they belonged.  The President knows he's in trouble when even ABC News turns on him.  Perhaps the mainstream media has figured out that this one isn't going to go away.  Probably not.  He still has MSNBC and John Stewart in his pocket.

 Americans deserve answers.  The families of our fallen Embassy staff deserve answers.  The Obama Administration deserves to pay.

Finally, A Politically Correct Week of Observation That I Can Support!

International Clitoris Awareness Week

There are some things even I can't make up.  Nevertheless, I try to do my part to celebrate Clitoris Awareness LIFE and it appears the world is finally catching on.  We'll start with a week and work up from there.

"Clitoraid is proud to announce its first annual International Clitoris Awareness Week, May 6 to May 12," said Nadine Gary, Clitoraid spokesperson, in a statement released today.

Clitoraid?  I've heard of Kool-Aid and Gatorade.  How the hell did I miss Clitoraid?  Where can I get some?  I wonder if I can make it in my Soda Stream.

More from Nadine Gary:  "This year, we'll celebrate the sexual pleasure of all women, since all can benefit from more sexual appreciation."  She said another Clitoraid mission is to raise public awareness about the clitoris.  "It's been ignored, vilified, made taboo, and considered sinful and shameful for centuries because of patriarchal religious values," Gary said. "It's time to give this beautiful organ the attention it deserves. It's the only human organ with an exclusive sexual pleasure function!"

I like to believe I've done my part to appreciate the clitoris ever since I learned what a clitoris is (thanks Penthouse Letters).  But, leave it to the church to vilify something like the clit.  I suppose they think the penis is just fine the way it is.  Oh, wait.  There's the whole circumcision covenant thing from the Book of Genesis.  But I digress.

 

 
Adopt a clitoris?  Does one need a lawyer to do this? Gives a whole new meaning to LegalZoom.com!  I see this as being like Lays Potato Chips; you can't eat just one.  On second thought, I'd better just stay away or the Duggars would look like misopediacs compared to me.
