My head is beginning to hurt from trying to figure out why people are so easily offended these days. Have they truly lost their sense of humor or is some of the humor too close to fact to be funny? Take for example the current cover of New Yorker Magazine showing the Obamas ‘chilling out’ in the Oval Office and sporting some of their favorite affectations.
In response to all of the politically polite shock expressed in campaign and journalistic circles [including Al Jazeera], the magazine explained that its cover was intended to spoof the absurdity of several rumors which have been circulating about Barry and Mish. They said the story inside demonstrated that, and as a traditionally Left Wing publication there would seem to be no reason for anyone to doubt their explanation. However, there are a few flies the tabloid may have overlooked in the ointment:
- A lot of people will see the cover, take it at face value, and never venture inside to read the article.
- Not all of the alleged rumors have been disproven to the satisfaction of a great many people.
- Based upon statements from the Obamas themselves, a number of pictured elements have their roots in more than just rumor.
Take, for example, the fact that Barry had, not one, but two Muslim fathers. While on one hand he may not now be a practicing Muslim, the influence clearly was there during his most formative years. On the other hand, given his long term associations with The Wrong Reverend Wright et al, it’s difficult to make the case that he fits the average person’s definition of a practicing Christian either. So much for his attire and the portrait of Bin Laden on the wall.
As for ‘the little woman’? Her statements and writings about “white oppressors” and generally anti-White attitudes only place her a notch or two above many of the 60’s and 70’s unrepentant radicals, at least two of which both Obamas still befriend (Farrakhan and Ayers, just in case you’ve been living in a bubble). Coupled with hateful, anti-American statements on both their parts, not only is her attire explained but so is the American flag simmering in the fireplace. I’m not even considering the flag pin or pledge of allegiance flaps that caused so much stir. Wouldn’t they just love to have us forget a few of those little campaign wrinkles!
I simply don’t remember a candidate for any high office, let alone President of The United States, having to defend his patriotism and even give speeches trying to make people comfortable with it; not anyone, not ever! So you see, I really don’t find the New Yorker cartoon very funny and certainly not offensive. By the way, where was all the outrage when those terrible ‘Aunt Jemima’ cartoons degrading Condoleezza Rice were published?
I think the hype promoting Barack ‘Jesus’ Obama as the second coming of the Messiah has blinded so many brain-numbed disciples that even a major magazine got trapped into believing its own mule muffins. That’s been the undoing of many a salesman. And after all, what has the mainstream media become but a horde of drooling salesmen preaching and packaging the new religion; a religion that promises a holy communion of radical change…as we morph from the land of freedom and prosperity into the Obamanation.

Get Ready For An ‘F-ing’ Election
How did we start out with nearly twenty candidates of such widely differing viewpoints and end up with Larry, Moe and Curly? The future is merely a matter of who will do the most damage to the country in the least amount of time. Obama and Clinton have always been interchangeable so who won the preliminaries really doesn’t matter. Except that McCain understands there are some unholy thugs building sand castles across the world, just itching to kill us, he could be part of the ‘troika’ about to purloin more of our liberty. That fact and the likelihood that his projected single term presidency would spread tyranny in America at a slower rate than Obama are the only reasons he’ll probably get my vote. Like it or not, not voting or a third party ballot would only be a vote for the Democrat ticket. It doesn’t make any kind of statement. As Conservatives, our task is now to force McCain to adopt a more right-leaning philosophy instead of continuing to court Democrats rather than his base.
Whether he wins or loses in November will depend more upon the validity of the “Three Fs” than it will upon McCain’s ability to finally stand up and fight like a man. As I’ve stated previously, the candidate who understands that voters are Forgetful, Forgiving and Fickle wins the election. I will always contend that if voters knew before Iowa and Super Tuesday what they know today about Obama, he would never have received the nomination. Barry-O needs to be held accountable for his character flaws, lies and poor judgment in having maintained all those nefarious and radical long term relationships. I have a feeling we’ll discover more…and dumping them now for political expediency isn’t good enough. The extent to which the electorate lets him off the hook will determine his chances in the general election more so than anything McCain does or doesn’t do. Obama is really running against himself!
As to the rumors of Barry selecting Hillary for his veep, he can’t do that. Forget all the pies-in-the-face and bitterness during the primaries; he can’t afford to bring Bill on board and get involved in a veritable ménage a trois. If you take her, you get the whole package.
However, with the polls showing a high percentage of Billary supporters headed for McCain if Obama becomes the candidate, will the convention delegates confer the second spot upon her anyway? They can do that, even over his objections. But will sloppy seconds be enough to buy the Billaryites off? Once the tele-prompters are gone, will The Clown Prince relapse into foot-in-mouth disease? Can he keep the hateful Michelle quiet? Will small town working people overlook his elitist insults? Most importantly, should there be a fourth “F” in my hypothesis? Now that they know Barack Hussein Obama for the bigoted, socialist radical he really is, are the American people Foolish enough to install him in the White House anyway?
Enjoy the circus while it’s in town folks because, beginning with the inauguration in January, we’ll need to hunker down for at least four years of ‘carnal flu’ no matter who wins in November.
