Ann Coulter Not the Wright stuff

Ann Coulter's column

on Obama's ongoing problems with the Rev Jeremiah Wright is entertaining for us and a fright for him. 'Course he was married by the Rev. Wright, baptised his daughters there and has been a member of the congregation for 20 years, gave the church $20 K last year... but is just now cognisant of the racist hatred he's been preaching all these years. Must be a sound church sleeper!

The Real Joe McCarthy- Same old Same old take on Joe

An article in Wall Street Journal by Ronald Kessler on April 22, 08 entitled, "The Real Joe McCarthy" is quite amazing in its total disregard for facts that are now fully documented about McCarthy. All the old liberal historian's and left wing politician's smears against McCarthy are recited by Kessler. It is embarrassingly obvious Kessler never read or even opened M. Stanton's 2007 Book , Blacklisted by History-the untold story of Sen. Joe McCarthy" let alone Arthur Herman's evenhanded "Joseph McCarthy: Reexamining the Life and Legacy of America's most Hated Senator" 2000 or Ann Coulter's very meticulous and footnoted chapters on McCarthy in her book, "Treason" of 2003. The first 100 pages of Coulter's book addresses the Cold War, McCarthy and the "red scare" Alger Hiss etc. Several books on the Venona Cables were written in the 90's as well as articles and books by former KGB officials that were running spies in this country during that time.

Though Kessler sites the Venona cables it is also obvious he didn't read the documentation that nailed many of the spies- including Hiss- that McCarthy was simply trying to get the State Department and the Army to investigate. Kessler mentions McCarthy's Executive sessions in which he gave people the oportunity to testify freely without their names being revealed. A huge number of people who testified in Exec session were never called into open session and never suffered damage to their reputations. Kessler missed that point also.

Even the Army McCarthy hearings were turned into an investigation of McCarthy while minimizing the solid evidence of the Army being heavy with spies. The Rosenbergs got much of their materials from the Army researchers after all.

Amazing that in this day with all of the new books and documentation through Venona, the writings, books and testimony of former KGB operatives of spies in the State Department, Treasury, and Army the many people will not accept any change in the McCarthy as a wrong headed bully- even if the facts supported his asking for investigations of obvious spies.

Read Dreams from my Father by Obama

Finished Obama's first book, "Dreams from my Father" 1995, new version edition 2004 which includes his nomination speech for Sen. Kerry at the Democrat convention. After reading Ann Coulter's review of it I decided to read it for myself- she was right!

Overall view: He writes better than I thought he would. He reveals little about himself and less about his white mother and grandmother and a lot about his failed white Grandfather and his equally inept, irresponsible and absentee father. Regardless of his Kenyan Father and Grandfather's failures that part of the book is the best.

He was raised as a white kid in Hawaii for the most part by his white grandparents. His grandmother worked his grandfather mostly laid around the house. His mother divorced his father after he left them in Hawaii after he got his degree. Only later do we discover his father had a wife and family in Kenya. His mom married a man from Indonesia and Obama and mom lived there where he attended a Madras school. She divorced him and dumped Obama with her parents back in Hawaii.

His dad married and deserted two more women and their families- one white, another Kenyan and spent most of his life as a drunk.

The mystery of this book to me is how Obama got into the most prestigious prep school in Hawaii, how his grandparents and mother managed to pay for the tuition at an expensive and tony private school Occidental College in L.A. or how he could afford to attend Harvard Law School later. Never a mention about how this was managed financially. Why?

Hamas Endorses Obama Obama OK with Jimmy Carter's Wreath laying for Yasser Arafat

From a Republican McCain for President source: ecampaign@gop.com

"Last Wednesday's Democratic debate (4/16/08) provided insight into Barack Obama's positions on key foreign policy issues. As president he says he would immediately withdraw our troops from Iraq- even if he were strongly advised against this by our nation's top military commanders.

He would also hold direct talks with the Iranian regime- a regime that does not recognize Israel and is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Iran's president has even called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

During the debate, Barack Obama once again refused to condemn former President Jimmy Carter- who publicly supports Obama- for holding talks with the Hamas terrorist group, a group supported financially, politically and militarily by Iran.

Barack Obama's foreign policy plans have even won him praise from Hamas leaders. Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Hamas Prime Minister said, "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election. He has a vision to change America."

We need change in America, but not the kind of change that wins kind words from Hamas, surrenders in Iraq and will hold unconditional talks with Iranian President Ahmadinejad. "

Obama: Just another arrogant Liberal without the polish of ....Hillary?

This article by John Fund (Wall ST. Journal) points out the many arrogant remarks by Barack Obama. I went to the library and got a copy of Obama's first autobiograhphical book, Dreams from my Father 1995 reissued in 2004.

He is not a bad writer. He was just as arrogant in 1995. I got the book after reading Ann Coulter's "review" of his book. So far she has been accurate in her assessment. And that assessment is DEADLY.

Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of Obama in any way.

As I read his book there is no explanation for how his family was able to afford to get him into the top private prep school in Hawaii, or the money to send him to a private College near Pasadena, CA. Or how they could afford to send him to Harvard Law school. He just skips over the details and spins an admittedly more interesting tale than I thought he would.

In the first 187 pages, (the large print edition was first available, so page 25 pages of regular size type? I keed, i keed) it's all about the odd relationship and manners of his father, orginally from Kenya. He was one of the first Africans to be given scholarhips by U.S. government to attend the U of Hawaii and he was brilliant and driven to succeed.

After graduation he just disappears from his wife and child. Obama has yet to explain anything more than that. Just skips ahead to 'now I am in NYC'. He talks about his white mother, after divorcing his Dad she marries another guy LoLo from Indonesia, then dumps him after having a sister for Obama to, so far ignore then she is off to travel the world...

His white grandparents raised him during upper grades and HS in Hawaii. You don't really have a clue about them as people, other than his Grandpa was (my opinion) a dreamer, a boozer, a failed man and his grandma comes across as the one solid earner and common sense person in the family.

Though now that she is safely dead, Obama tossed her under the bus with his "typical white woman" comment. I read on......

Is Iran about to get payback for all those road side bombs in Iraq

Israel and Syria both running military exercises last week and this. Dick Cheney makes a whirlwind tour of the Middle East. Condi Rice was there recently also.

Is it payback time for all those new more powerful and deadly road side bombs the Iranians have been supplying the Iraqis? Or, for shipping thousands of longer range missiles to Hamas? The article , in a granted, far right magazine suggests it may be ass kicking time in Tehran.

The Israelis hit a suspected Nuke preparation site in Syria a few months ago and they will not sit by and wait to me annihilated by their surrounding neighbors. AH-MA-DIN-AH-Jhad has announced over and over they will destroy Israel. ( I did a blog about this story on Sept 17,07)

The amount of statements by US representatives Military and civilian have been emphasizing the proof of Iran supply bombs, missiles and weapons to all enemies of Israel and the U.S. Will Israel continue to wait to be attacked or will they act? Will they act in coordination with U.S.?

A few hundred well placed smart bombs at Iran's bomb manufacturing sites and their Nuke labs? Then what?

Coulter: Dreams from my Father, Lame Excuses from my Grandfather

Hummada, Hummada! Ann Coulter strikes again. This time about his "typical white person" Grandmother who helped raise him. The muggers managing to get a Columbia U student killed Coulter mentions strikes home in Madison with a Co-ed being murdered last week by persons unknown. This story of Obama's Grandmother- the only one working in the household- getting aggressivly accosted for money at 0630 by a bum at her bus stop who was black teaches Obama a lesson.

A lesson few others would have concluded was the right lesson!

I may have to see if the Library has Obama's autobiography from which she is drawing these columns. (Also pls See April 2 blog below)

John Fund explains why "Loop hole Louie" lost the Supreme Court Election.The Wall St Jrnal 040508

Hoo-ray for John Fund of the Wall ST. Journal and this article in the 4/5/08 paper! (Wisconsin's Judicial Revolution)

After reading in the Wis. State Journal and soon to be defunct Cap. Times about how "stupid and uninformed" the voters of Wisconsin are for daring to elect a strict constitutional constructionist in Judge Gableman last Tuesday, Mr Fund's article was a breathe of fresh, fact filled and wonderfully truthful air.

The Liberal whining has been deafening in the letters to the editors as well as the editorials calling for "merit" selection of Supreme Court Judges - That "Merit" as defined by trial lawyers and Government appointed "experts" instead of elected by the "dumb voters"- that is anyone who is not a Liberal.

Mr Fund lays out the many examples of "Loophole Louie" trying to legislate new rights for criminals and going for the "deep pocket" paint companies even if you can't prove their product is at fault -pretty much the basis of our judicial system for the last 600 years in England and America.

Justice WAS served by bouncing this hack, Butler out of the Supreme Court.

Next up? Chief Justice Shirley Abramhamson. The trial lawyers, Indian Casino owners, Teacher and Government Unions are shaking down their members now to try to short circuit the voters in that election,

Bye Bye Shirley.....Enjoy your forced retirement!

The best man won. GABLEMAN will be the next Supreme Court Judge of Wisconsin

Judge Gableman at a meeting at Blackhawk Country Club in Madison on Veterans Day 07

Even though the Dane County Board of Supervisors remains solid LA La Land Left the good news is we have a new Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge who is a strict Constitutional follower. He has pledged NOT to legislate from the bench. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled that 236 years after becoming the USA a judge would have to run and win by simply stating the obvious.

Coulter: Obama's Dimestore 'Mein Kampf'

Ann Coulter's 4/2/08 Column , "Obama's Dimestore 'Mein Kampf' (My Struggle) is about OBAMA's book , Dreams of my Father. The quotes are quite revealing.

Is the book at the Library? I'll have to check. Can't see laying out cash for it after reading this 'review' His book title, Audacity of Hope he attributes to the Wrong Reverend Wright. Based on this limited exposure he should re-issue this early book as Nightmares from my Father!
