The Billion Dollar Campaign

Toby Petzold — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:33:36 +0000

This is how the Obamareich’s re-election machine is being characterized —and I have no reason to doubt it. Do his followers have a problem with their idol burning through a billion dollars of crony contributions? I don’t hear much about it, if so. I think such a figure would only be morally repugnant if it were a Republican campaign.

I think the Election of 2012 is going to burn some bridges.

An Example of Obama’s Contempt for You

Toby Petzold — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 02:56:19 +0000

The least American President of my lifetime announced his candidacy for re-election today. That he made this threat so obliquely (i.e., with no actual statement made to our faces) may speak to his own recognition of the absurdity and essential cowardice of his leadership. Or it could just be his usual level of presumptuousness.

But on this very same day, Obama also sent his racist attorney general out to announce (obliquely, as is the fashion) that their policy of trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other Islamofascist murderers in civilian criminal court (and in NYC, natch!) was wrong all along and that they will instead be tried at Guantanamo Bay in a military court. As they should have been. All along.

Where, then, are the consequences of this craven reversal? Nowhere. Obama won’t be made to answer for such an inside-baseball issue among the vast majority of his supporters because it was never anything more than the moral preening of incoherent ideologues. Foreign-born mass murderers (and a few merely treasonous ones) have rights under our Constitution? And that trying them in civilian criminal court would somehow mark a triumph for American Justice? What asshole delusions! Obama and other post-Americans who think like him spent so much time agreeing with the Islamofascists that Guantanamo Bay was indeed the very center of American brutality and abuse of the Religion of Peace that they were compelled to abandon trying these bastards as war criminals in favor of a cruel circus in Manhattan that not even the wretched hack Chuck Schumer could abide. Obama’s opposition to Guantanamo was crap from start to finish because it was just him trying to square his campaign rhetoric with the hard reality of doing his job of protecting us.

So, hippies, is the prospect of Hope and Change v.2.0 enough to make you overlook Obama’s lack of principles yet again? He probably thought so —and has put your idolatry to the test again.

Collusion Collision

Toby Petzold — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 22:24:19 +0000

Last September, when the Koran-burner Terry Jones threatened to incinerate a copy of that very angry book, the Obama Administration and Big Media worked very hard together to give him as much notoriety and airtime as they could so as to demonstrate to the Muslim world their own tolerance by contrast. But now that this obscure gesture-maker and attention-getter in Florida has gone and finally burned a Koran (what, like, two weeks ago?), these very same exploiters want to scold him and hold him accountable for acts of murder committed in Afghanistan on Friday. Instead, they should hold themselves accountable for their appalling stupidity in using an American citizen with an unalienable claim on certain Constitutional rights to cynically try to improve their own image among nutbags who can’t even abide cartoons of the so-called Prophet. How do these dolts come by these mad props with such ham-handedness?

After all, Jones has as much right to burn a Koran as some fucking hippie does to burn an American flag. Or do his beliefs as a Christian —even the “extreme” ones— negate his First Amendment rights? Clever post-American degenerates need to think about that some. Are they letting their own bigotry against Christians militate against a proper regard for the First Amendment? Or are they so afraid of giving false offense to jihadist murderers who need no excuse to murder in the name of Allah that they would forget their own integrity as liberal Westerners? Whatever their rationale, the moral exhibitionism of Obama and his Administration and its tools in Big Media from before has now come back to embarrass them for the users they are. After all, they never had any control over this villain they made because they never should have had any control over him. If Jones is a proximate cause of those UN workers’ murders, how can these craphounds and politicians be any less culpable?!

Enjoy your new war on Muslim Country No. 4, Barry. I’m sure that your inevitable alienation and disappointment of democratic aspirations in Libya will be far less antagonistic to the Ummah than a symbolic gesture of contempt made by a media creation other than yourself.

Obama’s War in Libya

Toby Petzold — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 17:08:43 +0000

Now that the President has made regime change in Libya a personal goal, his war there will be a failure if Khaddafi and his family wind up staying in power. Thus, his belief that he can prosecute this war from the air and in a limited way and without calling it war and without appearing to be responsible for it is delusional. Obama has abandoned so many of his own anti-war principles that he is simply incredible. Will his partisans hold him responsible? No, but some of the more clever ones might try to show they have a little intellectual integrity by criticizing him by proxy in criticizing his Administration, particulary Hillary. They’ll use her as soon as things turn so bad that not even Sulzberger or Immelt or Soros could work to hide it from the public.

Bottom line: the President waited too long to defend the people of Libya against their own government. By missing the window so badly, this war will be prolonged. And it may even turn Obama’s uncritical masses in the soft middle against him.

Reagan tried to kill Khaddafi; Obama now must kill Khaddafi.

Watching MSNBC before the SOTU

Toby Petzold — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:27:43 +0000

This Democratic Representative from NY, Carolyn McCarthy, talking to the oddly well-behaved Lawrence O’Donnell is a gun control nut who is using Tucson as a pretext for promoting her gun control nuttiness —and Dick Cheney’s opinion of extended ammo clips is irrelevant. Why do hippies think that they can get rid of enough guns and magazines and ammunition to make America safe? It’s almost as stupid a belief as the Republicans’ delusion that it’s possible to completely eradicate marihuana. What childish crap! If it is some psychopath’s purpose to commit mass murder, how likely is it that he will be deterred by too short an ammo clip?

Just say no to gun control enthusiasts and gateway drug addicts.

Barack Hussein Obama Is an Islamofascist Sympathizer

Toby Petzold — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:56:05 +0000

The President is either enormously incompetent at being an American or he is deliberately giving his support to the enemies of Western Civilization.

I am shocked at the degree of Obama’s anti-Americanism. And to even THINK that about an American President? It’s like Obama is the embodiment of Marx’s elaboration on Hegel’s belief in the repitition of History; in the American context, Obama is the farce to Lincoln’s tragedy.

Democrats and other sorts of anti- and post-American garbage who now advocate for “religious tolerance” are morally repugnant liars. These anti-Christian bigots and anti-Semites on the Left have no idea what religious tolerance means. For them to speak on it as they though they do is an obscenity.

Crises Are Opportunities

Toby Petzold — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 00:19:56 +0000

Say, wouldn’t it be wild if it were found out —in some genuine and documentable way— that Obamajesus was deliberately using the Deepwater Horizon disaster as a pretext for punishing his political and familial enemies? It’s almost like our country is at the mercy of a lying narcissist whose sense of grievance and vindictiveness is imperial in its disregard. Our republican virtues have been sacrificed on an altar of identity politics and Marxist classism.

At this point, don’t Democrats have some sort of moral obligation to admit that they were wrong to have done this to a great civilization? How much further will their delusions go unchecked? I think anyone who voted for Obama owes it to himself and his fellow citizens to acknowledge the stupidity of his choice.

Especially any Democrat who supported Hillary.

The Courage of Their Restrictions

Toby Petzold — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 22:58:50 +0000

I will not defend Islam in any way, so let me be frank (or maybe a Frank) about that from the start. Religious tolerance is an illusion of interpersonal diplomacy assented to by most and realized —in fact— by few. Leftists perceive of themselves as superior to ”Christianists” by virtue of their supposedly scientific convictions (e.g., certitude in the truth of Evolution but, then again, of anthropogenic global warming, too) and by virtue of a sounder grasp of the separation of church and state. But Leftists do not believe in religious tolerance any more than I do. They believe that the Constitution grants them a right from religion when it actually grants them the right of religion. As an atheist in the conventional sense, observing that distinction is what allows me to live as I do. But, insofar as these Leftists and their pseudo-liberal followers are Marxist at all, they can certainly have no genuine respect for the magic shows of the religious Right or the Catholic church. After all, those are the refuges of racist gun-owners and Bible-readers, not of the right-thinking “reality-based community” (as they used to refer to themselves, now with extra irony).

Anyway, when fools like Michael Bloomberg stand and declaim upon the moral superiority of allowing a goddamned mosque complex to be built a mere stroll away from the site of the atrocities of 11 September 2001 as the highest order of religious tolerance, it makes me wonder whether such moral exhibitionism is easier with the tacit but certain knowledge that the godforsaken thing will never be built.

No, it isn’t religious tolerance to allow an insult and then to pretend that it was never inflicted. One thing that Westerners need to know about the Muslim mind is that it turns on the spit of the provocative gesture. As an old friend once remarked, the capital of capitalism had its two front teeth knocked out —right down the street from where this thing is supposed to be planted. The attacks of 11 September 2001 were, in themselves, a deeply humiliating and destructive gesture of contempt and provocation. What self-respecting people would permit a second such gesture at such proximity to the first? It isn’t defensible as religious tolerance but explicable only as the rankest sort of self-hatred. Bloomberg and the other useful idiots of the Ummah need to shut up and sit down.

The Beer Summit

Toby Petzold — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:44:54 +0000

I think it’s great that the President of the United States is comfortable enough in his own skin to share a beer with a couple of guys out on the lawn of his house.

But what brought him there is ridiculous, although entirely predictable: pride, arrogance, and a kind of narcissism that deserves to be examined and laughed at —for the good of the Republic.

I have zero respect for anyone who cannot see the cultish element in Obama’s support. The post-racial post-American anti-Bush makes monkeys out of men: poor little nothings (often employed as “journalists”) who are too afraid of being stigmatized as racists for making even the most basic kind of criticisms of him that one must expect of the fourth estate. How will these Democrats be held accountable if the people on the TV and the editorial boards are too afraid of false accusations? For that matter, how can we expect cops to do their jobs if we assume that they are authoritarian bullies bent on oppressing minorities? That’s what the President did. And he was wrong.

So has he now apologized to James Crowley? I doubt it.

Pride goeth before a fall.

Liveblogging the Lying Narcissist’s Latest Campaign Speech (Part Two)

Toby Petzold — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:29:14 +0000

He’s not sweating, really. He’s effervescing —like the insubstantial clown and stain on the American People’s judgement that he is: into the ether and between the threads.

Tapper’s question was great and also had thorns.
