Conservative apex predators in a field of liberals and friends for over 30 years, Sahib and The Crew are now sharing their unique brand of political commentary and humor with the world. With political correctness and secular progressives running amok, the world needs them now more than ever. So return frequently and join Sahib and the Crew in their quest to Save the World!
When I was contemplating what to write today, the following quote kept running through my mind. It is one of my favorites and I feel really embodies the American spirit:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "
It's OK really. We understand. We realize that your remarkable lack of core principle just won't allow you to, ahem, call a spade a spade. We know that the screams of American citizens on the streets of Boston, the severed limbs, the sidewalks smeared with blood, really don't mean a damn thing to you. We no longer expect you, the leader of the free world, to summon up courage enough to label yesterday's bombing of the Boston Marathon what it was.......terrorism. And it happened on your watch Mr. Obama. Again. Fort Hood, Benghazi, and now Boston. Oh to be sure, some unnamed White House spokesman was quick to say that the attack was being "treated as a terrorist act". But you didn't say it. The word never passed your lips. Why not? What euphemistic phrase shall we invent this time Mr. Obama? "Work-place violence"? "Man-made disaster"? How about "sports-associated pyrotechnic incident"? Or maybe "sequester-induced explosive event"? How long before you or one of your execrable lackeys blames yesterday's attack on George W. Bush or the Tea Party? Let me just make sure I have this straight.....While you and your posse of gun-grabbers were concentrating on tearing down the Constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans, someone was planning this...
I have no idea who is responsible....foreign Islamists, radicalized American Muslim, McVeigh wannabe, neo-Nazi skinheads, heck...maybe even your old bomb-chucker pals at the Weather Underground are getting back in the game. Doesn't matter to me who it was, they are terrorists. Why won't you say it? Sincerely, The Crew
Well folks, it's been a lot of fun to write SACSTW over the couple years. We have documented and satirized the inanity we all swim through every day, but it looks like the end is nigh. At least according to the Democrats.
Those who were of school-age during the Cold War, remember all those "hide under your desk from ballistic missile attack" drills? What a waste of time, the world isn't going to end in some sort of nuclear conflagration after all.
Remember all the hubbub about the end of the Mayan Calendar and the complete destruction of society that was supposed to happen on Dec. 21, 2012??? Pshaw! The Mayans had nothing on the GOP! At least according to the Democrats.
Yes folks, tomorrow, March 1 2013, the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) will be upon us. The instrument of our destruction? A 1.2% federal spending cut. Wait, it gets worse....It's not really a cut in spending. It is a cut in the spending increases scheduled for this year.
Look at it this way. Let's say you make $1000 a week at your job. This year, your pay was supposed to increase to $1100 a week. The boss comes to you and says..."Sorry Joe Worker, we are only going to be able to increase your pay to $1086 a week this year". AAGGGHHH!!! you say. It's TEOTWAWKI!!!!
I would say to you "Joe, instead of howling about TEOTWAWKI, you should be on your knees thanking the boss that you still have a job, let alone one that is going to pay you more this year than last". Particularly in light of SACSTW favorite Maxine Waters's comments about the effects of sequestration on the US labor force......
Please note Mad Maxine's claim that sequestration will cost the United States "170 million" jobs. I really hate to bother the lovely and erudite Rep. Waters, but at any one time the US labor force numbers about 155 million. So.......every single one of you still working out there will lose their jobs because of sequestration. In addition, 15 million of you are going to have to then go and get another job and lose it in order to satisfy Mad Maxine's predictions. Sorry Max, math is a real bitch sometimes.
Then there is Rep. Donna "I'll see your 170 million lost jobs and raise you millions of brutalized women" Edwards, D-MD. In the video here, you can hear her explain how 230,000 calls to domestic violence shelters will go unanswered due to the GOP and sequestration. Note how at the end, she ups the ante to "millions of women and children", nicely done Donna!
Obviously, domestic violence is a terrible thing. I don't know about 230,000 calls in the middle of the night going unanswered in the future. I do know of one in the recent past that went unanswered......the one Ambassador Chris Stevens made to Barack Obama's administration pleading for help as Islamic terrorists savaged him and 3 other brave Americans in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. What I don't remember seeing is outrage from Donna and Maxine about that unanswered call.
Breaking News: The Vatican announced that Pope Benedict XVI would resign the papacy effective Feb. 28, becoming the first Pope to do so since Gregory XII in 1415. Benedict's successor will be elected by a conclave of cardinals, which interestingly enough is exactly how I got this job.
Here's a question.....if the proper term is "African-American", why is February "Black" History month?
Give Mommy a little smoochie!
Kimberly Margeson raised a few eyebrows at a New York prison by laying an open-mouth kiss on her incarcerated son's mouth during a recent visit. Was she just a little more lusty than current societal norms permit? Not exactly. She was actually passing sonny boy a few oxycodone pills via the lip-lock. It's weird....she doesn't look anything like Alicia Silverstone!
It's official....I'm an old geezer. I listened to the radio news guy list the big winners at last night's Grammy Awards, and I didn't recognize a single act.
Nancy Pelosi made another remarkably incoherent appearance on Fox News Sunday this weekend. A couple of the highlights...
She blamed the current sluggish economy on the previous administration. I'm pretty sure she meant the one before that.
When host Chris Wallace asked Pelosi about gun control, the sage of San Francisco said this... "We avow the First Amendment, we stand with that and say that people have the right to have a gun and defend themselves". I feel much better knowing that great Constitutional scholars like Pelosi are entrusted with protecting my rights.
In direct contrast with the idiot Pelosi is SecDef Leon Panetta. Although he is on the opposite side of the political aisle from me, I've always found Panetta to be an earnest and thoughtful man. His recent testimony in front of the Senate about the attack in Benghazi was remarkable. Here is a clip of him answering Sen. Ayotte's (R-NH) questions about Dear Leader's involvement that night. Take a look....
You can hear in his voice and see in his face the pain and disgust that Obama's dereliction of duty gives him. Obama showed absolutely no interest in the fact that our consulate was under attack, and our Ambassador and 3 other brave Americans had been murdered. Five years ago, I would have said that it wasn't possible for the President of the United States to be so callous and disconnected. Today, in SecondTermica, it barely makes a ripple. We take a lot of jabs at Dear Leader here at SACSTW, but that 2 minutes of video is all you need to know what a loathsome, traitorous human being currently inhabits our White House.
Espousing a level of love and adoration for Israel that he usually reserves for tax increases, new entitlement programs, and golf.
(And one of my favorite moments) Not correcting Bob Schieffer when Bob referred to him as Obama Bin Laden.
Trying to explode Romney's brain with the Obama Death Stare, a la Scanners/Big Bang Theory.
All fascinating and enjoyable moments, but Romney could have won the debate and probably the election in one fell swoop. The president gave him the perfect opening and Romney could have poleaxed (for you race baiters out there, that was pole axed and not poll taxed) him right there on national TV. If he had taken the opportunity, I wouldn't have been surprised to see Obama curl up in the fetal position right there on stage and start sobbing for Reggie to come save him. Here is how the exchange SHOULD have happened:
President Obama: Bob, let me — let me respond. You know, if we're going to talk about trips that we've taken, you know, when I was a candidate for office, first trip I took was to visit our troops. And when I went to Israel as a candidate, I didn't take donors, I didn't attend fundraisers, I went to Yad Vashem, the — the Holocaust museum there, to remind myself the — the nature of evil and why our bond with Israel will be unbreakable.
Governor Romney: Really Mr. President? You have must have immense testicular fortitude to introduce fundraising into this discussion. Well, you went there so here goes. Yes, as a CANDIDATEI did attend fundraisers in Israel. You know why? Because people there LIKE me and understand I will be a TRUE friend to Israel as president. Would you like to know what I will NEVER do as PRESIDENT? I will never attend a fundraiser when the bodies of our ambassador and three other citizens are not even cold and that they are dead as a direct result of my administration's failures. That, Mr. President, I will never do. Bob, please feel free to clean up that puddle of goo that used to be the president. I wouldn't want anyone to get it on their shoes.
That, to quote Barney Stinson, would have been, wait for it.... LEGENDARY!
