America Needs You Today

"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

John F. Kennedy   Jan.20, 1961

Never in the almost 52 years since Kennedy said those words have they been more important than today.  

Time and time again throughout its history, the United States of America has been there for others during their darkest hours.  It has been the brightest point of light for untold millions to look to for inspiration, hope, and the chance for freedom.

Today, it is America that is in need.  Please answer her pleas for help today at the ballot box.  This is our last chance to peacefully restore America to the path she has carved out over the last 236 years.  

Barack Obama's promise to "fundamentally transform" America will come to grotesque fruition in a second term.  Freed from the need to curry political favor, he will run roughshod over the Constitution, over your personal liberties, and over the very foundation of our country.  

Americans have always answered the call when others around the globe have been in need.  Today we are the ones in need.  Please vote today to save this great country.

Monday Musings With The Crew

• Barack Obama is a nasty piece of work, and only getting nastier as his personal Waterloo approaches.  Campaigning in Ohio on Friday, he exhorted supporters to not boo Mitt Romney, but vote because "voting is the best revenge".  Do you really need to know anything else about this petulant child?  Listen Barry, if anyone should be voting out of revenge, it is conservatives who despise what you have done to our country.  But we don't vote out of spite or revenge.  As Mitt Romney commented, we vote out of "love of country".  We don't want revenge.  We just want you to go away.

• Apparently, so does Joe Biden.  At a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Friday, Jokin' Joe said this...."There's never been a day in the last 4 years that I've been proud to be his vice-president.  Not one single day".  

Believe me Mr. Vice-President, we feel your pain........

• Can any of the talking heads and political pundits claim a 94.4% accuracy in predicting presidential election results?  The Washington Redskins can.  By losing to the Carolina Panthers yesterday, the 'Skins have all but guaranteed a Romney victory tomorrow.  In 17 of the last 18 elections, the Redskin Rule has been accurate.  A loss in their last home game before the election results in a loss for the incumbent President.  

• Finally, here is what you all have been waiting for....the Crew's prediction for tomorrow.  Fourteen months ago, I predicted a defeat for Obama 2012 when a Republican won a special election in New York's 9th Congressional district.  I'm not backing off now.  Special janitorial crews have been sent into the offices and broadcast studios at MSNBC to remove all scissors, shoelaces, letter openers, and any other instruments that MSNBC personalities may use to harm themselves as the rout becomes inevitable tomorrow night.  

Romney  52%

Obama 45%

Romney wins a minimum of 300 electoral college votes

So dear reader, do what I am going to do tomorrow night.  Order a pizza, crack open a cold one, and watch as the American people strike another blow for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Two Questions Nobody Asked......

The first time I heard of Hofstra was 1981.  A basketball player at my high school signed a letter of intent to play ball for the Fighting Earthworms or whatever they are called.  I'll be danged if I can remember the kid's name, but it was pretty big news at our school.  After all, we were better known for other, more genteel athletics.  If you could play it at a country club, we were tough to beat.  But I digress.

I got home from Hofstra early this morning, having borrowed the keys to the SACSTW Gulfstream V from Sahib over the weekend.  With nerves all atwitter, I turned on the TV and fired up the DVR to watch my appearance during the previous evening's Presidential Debate.  My heart sank and my blood pressure soared as I realized THEY CUT MY SCENE!  I thought this thing was supposed to be live and unedited!  What the @#%$# ??  I have searched all the online transcripts I can find.....NOTHING!  It's as if I never asked a question of the candidates at all!

Despite my lingering private luxury jet lag, I have been able to piece together a reasonable facsimile of how my moment in the debate spotlight went...........

Candy Crowley:  The next question is for President Obama, and comes from the large, balding white gentleman there in the back.  No, no, not you Chastity.  Next to you, yes, the one in the purple Mexican wrestling mask.

The Crew: Thank you Candy.  My name is the Crew.  I have but one question for you Mr. Obama.  My friend Sahib and I have spent the last 12 months asking every liberal  wingnut we can find this question, and none have been willing to answer.  You are the next on our list.....Please tell us exactly what percentage of our income we should be permitted to keep after all taxation from local, state, and federal authorities.

President Obama:  Thank you for the question Crew.  Under my administration, oil production is the highest it has been in 16 years.  We have invested in infrastructure, created 14 green jobs, and licked the boots of every tinpot hack in the Middle East.  I've shucked and jived with Beyonce and JayZ, spent more time with David Letterman than any of his female staffers, and played more golf than Tiger Woods.

The Crew:  That is all quite interesting Mr. Obama.  May I assume that you refuse to admit that your ideal would be governmental confiscation of 100% of earnings?

President Obama:  You may proceed Crew.

The Crew:  I have a followup question for you Mr. Obama....Can you tell us what you will do in a second term to bring the federal government back into conformity with the legal limitations placed upon it by the United States Constitution?

President Obama:  The what?

Things kind of went downhill from there, although I'm sure the original video showing what appeared to be a middle aged Caucasian Nacho Libre challenging the President to a sumo match is quite entertaining if you can find it.  But I digress.

Down Goes Obama, Down Goes Obama!

Overhead view of the debate stage as Jim Lehrer checks on the President

I've seen a lot of beatdowns in my life.  I saw Mike Tyson bludgeon Michael Spinks into dreamland in the first round in 1988.  I saw Jordan hit that jumper over Craig Ehlo,  I saw the 49ers manhandle the Broncos 55-10 in Super Bowl XXIV.  Now I have to add Romney-Obama I to my list of the all-time greatest routs.  Dennis Miller had the best line of the night when he said "Obama better hope a kicked ass is covered under Obamacare".

Romney came out from the get go loaded with facts, truth, and the courage to face down the President of the United States.  After striding out onto the stage with his usual supercool demeanor, President Obama's body language changed to that of a Labrador puppy who tore up the furniture while his owner was at work once Romney started to work him over.  Guess what Barry, the owners are home, and we're pissed about the mess you have made of our house!  Bad President!  Bad President!

Even with moderator Jim Lehrer holding his hand through some of the tough spots, the President looked like that debate stage was the LAST place in the world he wanted to be.  Well maybe, the second to last place.  If you think that Mitt was tough on Obama during the debate, how do you think Weezy treated him during the flight home?

The one recurring theme of Mr. Obama's presentation was that profits are bad.  He demonized profit making in the oil industry, banking, Wall Street, healthcare, you name it.  Romney was having none of it.  My favorite moment came when he made a not very subtle suggestion that Lehrer update his resume because federal funding of PBS is going away very soon!

Romney was sincere, with just the right amount of gravitas and personality.  Obama was a sulking teenager who realizes the game is up.  Several pundits are wondering based on his performance whether Obama really wants to serve another term in office.  I think there may be some truth behind that theory.  Maybe Dear Leader is looking forward to the $50,000 a pop lecture circuit that is awaiting him.

I really only have one regret from last night.   Where was this Mitt Romney in 2008?  This Mitt Romney would have mopped the floor with Senator Granddad in the primaries, and made the name Barack Obama a footnote in the history textbooks.  Maybe this Mitt Romney could have saved our country a lot of the pain and suffering of the last four years.  Better late than never.

Now in case you think I'm just crowing about my guy's performance from an ideological standpoint, I'll leave you with what Chris "the Tingle is Gone" Matthews had to say.....

Late Breaking Update!   Al Gore explains President's poor performance.....must watch!

Sahib and The Crew Moderate the Debate

Unfortunately, The Crew and I were neither asked to submit questions nor asked to moderate the debate, so we decided to do both on our blog.  I will be posing questions to President Obama and The Crew will be posing them to Governor Romney.

Sahib:  Mr. President, which one of the 57 states is your favorite?

Sahib:  Mr. President, if you feel the Muslim call to prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds on earth, what do you consider to be one of the ugliest? (Would he have the testicular fortitude to say Christmas carols?)

Sahib:  How's the golf game coming along?

Sahib:  Do you feel it's appropriate to send your daughter and her friends on a spring break trip to one of the most dangerous places in North America and make the American tax payers pick up the check for her security?

Sahib:  You have said that you want to "fundamentally change" the United States of America.  Specifically, which fundamentals of our great nation do you wish to change?

Sahib:  You pay your dog handler $102,000 a year.  How much do you pay your unicorn, Stanley's, handler?

Sahib:  Is is true that the real Joe Biden, in fact, died 3 years ago and the one we see now is really a Jeff Dunham puppet?

Sahib:  You seem inordinately preoccupied with Governor Romney's tax returns.  In a show of good sportsmanship, how about turning over your college and medical records?

Sahib:  And finally Mr. President, how much of what an American makes should he/she be allowed by the government to keep?  Please give me a specific percentage. A concrete number.  Take your time.  I'll wait.

*********************************************************************************

Crew here.  Excellent interrogatory as usual by Sahib.  I get to question Mittens, so a little disclaimer here.  Yes, I am likely to vote for Governor Romney on November 6.  No, he was not my preferred nominee.

Crew:  Governor Romney, do you believe in compromising with those on the other side of the aisle in order to "get things done"

Crew:  After 4 years of a Romney presidency, will federal spending be more or less than it is today?

Crew:  After 4 years of a Romney presidency, will the federal government employ more or less people than it does today?

Crew:  Do you take your hair off at night?

Crew:  Would you support the repeal of the 17th Amendment?

Crew:  Do you believe in national right-to-carry legislation?

Crew:  Do you promise to pay attention to what Paul Ryan tells you about the budget?

Crew:  If you are elected, will you maintain Stanley in the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed?

Crew:  And finally Governor Romney, how much of what an American makes should he/she be allowed by the government to keep?  Please give me a specific percentage.  A concrete number.  Take your time.  I'll wait.


Be sure to watch the debate tonight, hey it's just the future of the country at stake.

Monday Musings With The Crew

• In August of 1974, a Republican president resigned his office after his complicity in the Watergate affair surfaced.  As is the case with many transgressions, the cover-up was worse than the crime (just like your momma has told you all these years).  The President had ordered high-ranking members of his administration to lie to the American public about the break-in, and proceeded to do the same himself.  Exactly 0 people died as part of the Watergate affair.  In the past 3 weeks, Barack Obama has ordered high ranking administration members (SecState, UN Ambassador, etc) to lie to the American public about the murder of 4 Americans, including a U.S. Ambassador.  Obama has then proceeded to repeat those same lies to the American public himself.  At least Nixon had the courage to do what was best for the country by resigning.  

      

• Watching Obama 2012 downplay expectations for Wednesday's presidential debate has been quite smirkworthy.  The best part was David Axelrod batting his sad puppy dog eyes at the media while lamenting Obama's lack of time for debate prep.  He's just been too busy "governing the country" according to Axelrod.  Unless blowing off heads of state and hanging with Mr. and Mrs. Knowles is "governing the country", I beg to differ Dave.  But hey, it was a funny line.....
• late update-  John Kerry joined the Obama sympathy club over the weekend, sniffing that it's just not fair that Barry can't properly prepare for the debate, after all "he's got a day job".  

• Remember Amanda Clayton?  She was the Michigan woman who gained notoriety earlier this year after it was discovered she was receiving food stamps despite having won over $700,000 in the lottery.  Sahib covered her story brilliantly here.   I can hear you now, um...Crew...why are you referring to Ms. Clayton in the past tense?  The answer is....because she was found dead of a drug overdose in a Detroit house over the weekend.  I will not revel in the death of Ms. Clayton, I will only comment that karma is in fact a bitch.

• Speaking of trips down memory lane, one gas station owner did just that recently.....  Actually the day Obama took office gas was $1.67 at my neighborhood station.

• Weapons obtained from Holder Arms and Ammo (aka the U.S. Justice Department) have been linked to a 2010 massacre of 16 people in Juarez, Mexico.  Many of the victims were teenagers attending a birthday party.  Speaking of resigning from office......are you listening Mr. Attorney General?  Read more here.

Do you really want to know?

• Chinese cuisine is was one of my favorites.  That is until I read about the Red Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg, KY.  The restaurant has been cited for serving road-kill after a customer observed employees wheeling a mangled deer into the kitchen.  The owner's son has admitted to picking up the deer along I-75 outside of town.  The owners claimed they "didn't know we couldn't do that".  Ugh. Maybe the health department should have been concerned about the Red Flower's menu, featuring General Tire's Chicken, Moo Shu Possum, and Crab Raccoon.  

NAACP To Members- You Can't Handle The Truth!

Geez, who knew that the NAACP convention was so much fun?  I may just have to take a week off and cover it in person next year!  After all, what could be more entertaining than watching tyrannical black statists like Emanuel Cleaver and Hilary Shelton demean and deride the black electorate?  In fine Colonel Jessup fashion, Cleaver, Shelton, and others have in essence said that NAACP members are too dim-witted to be treated with respect and honesty by Mitt Romney.

When Romney addressed the NAACP convention (something our black President hasn't done since 2009) this week, he delivered the same campaign speech he does at virtually every other campaign stop.  He did so  without regard to his audience's color or political leanings.  In other words, he didn't treat the NAACP audience any differently than when he spoke at the latest WHAMO conference.  He treated the NAACP with honesty and respect by laying out his plans should he be elected President, including repealing Obamacare.

That didn't go over well with Cleaver and Shelton (NAACP Washington Bureau Director and Senior Vice-President).  Because Romney didn't "speak to his audience", the NAACP bigwigs have accused him of racism and worse.  Sorry Hilary, but"speaking to your audience" is all well and good if you are doing a career day at the local elementary school, but if a presidential candidate does it to an audience of adults it is called pandering.

During his speech, Romney stated his desire to overturn Obamacare, help bring down the 14.4 % unemployment rate among blacks, and improve education for all Americans.

Here is what Cleaver and Shelton would have you believe Romney actually meant.....

"Alright you lazy shiftless homeboys, time for you to put the crack pipe down, stop banging every sister in sight, get off the couch and get a job"

Even more despicable, some (including the ever lucid Nancy Pelosi)  have suggested that Romney intentionally elicited the boos from the NAACP in order to rile up the racist crackers that are the conservative electorate.  Last night, Bill O'Reilly gave Hilary Shelton the chance to distance the NAACP from such bizarre accusations, but he demurred.  The subsequent interview was Bill O'Reilly at his finest, and a truly frightening look into the mind of the progressive black establishment.

Rep. Cleaver- Criticizing Obamacare is racism!

My old buddy (and congressman) Emanuel Cleaver is at it again.  His comments after Mitt Romney's appearance at this week's NAACP convention would suggest that the good Reverend believes any criticism of Barack Obama is racism, particularly when said in front of a group such as the NAACP.

Yes, Romney was booed when he promised to repeal Obamacare.  Hey, I'm sure that didn't come as any great surprise to the GOP nominee.  What many mainstream media outlets aren't telling you is that the NAACP cheered Romney when he talked about the importance of issues like traditional marriage, jobs, and family.

I planned to use this space to go on a diatribe against the despical Emanuel Cleaver, until I found this video from a SACSTW favorite, Kira Davis.  On Feb. 29, we posted one of Kira's videos, and that has gone on to be the most-viewed post in SACSTW history.  Well, Kira has hit another home run with her response to Congressman Cleaver........

Time Machine Missing? Is Romney Responsible?

Doc Brown's got nuthin' on SACSTW !

Stop me if this starts to sound familiar..... The Republican Party nominates a man to run against Barack Obama for the Presidency of the United States.  Many conservatives within the GOP are unhappy, doubting the nominee's commitment to the conservative ideals of limited government, personal responsibility, and fiscal restraint.

In a futile attempt to head-off the left's race baiters, the nominee boldly declares that Jeremiah Wright, Obama's poisonous pastor of 20 years, should not be an issue in the campaign.  Indeed, the nominee pronounces his repudiation of those who would make Obama's decades long relationship with the anti-semitic, racist, and anti-American Wright a talking point on the campaign trail.

You remember that nominee right?  In case you have forgotten him, maybe this will remind you.....

You know why you forgot him?   BECAUSE HE LOST!  He wasn't willing to do what it took to prevent an evil man from becoming President of the United States.  He wanted to take the high road, and allowed the left's predators to shred his Vice-Presidential pick in the most disgusting way.

Imagine my consternation when I heard Mittens spewing the same sort of holier-than-thou garbage yesterday.  In a flash, the answer came to me.....Romney had somehow breached security at SACSTW headquarters and hijacked our time machine.  Maybe he was trying to get back to those high school days and apologize to the kid who got the haircut.  Maybe he wanted to go back in time to get the dog out of that cartop carrier.   Regardless, he apparently only made it back to 2008.

In a flash I alerted Sahib to the intrusion, and we made our way to the SACSTW laboratory, dreading the loss of our prize time machine.  Relief flooded over us like the warm glow of fine bourbon as we saw the chronological conveyance secure in its garage bay.

With the time machine safe and sound, I wondered what could possibly explain Romney's following the same losing playbook as John McCain?  Then I remembered......he's the hand-picked candidate of the mainstream media....Doh!

Monday Musings With The Crew

Personally, I think Ken is fabulous!

• Reports from the Associated Press last week indicated that Iran's "morality" police were cracking down on the sale of Barbie dolls, closing some toy stores that carried the Western icon on their shelves amid concerns that the statuesque blonde doll would cause great harm to the impressionable youth of Iran.  Investigators from SACSTW's Tehran bureau are looking into reports that the Barbie dolls are being replaced by Michael Moore inaction figures.  No mention is being made of Iran's morality police cracking down on state-sponsored incineration of innocent men, women, and children.  At least they have their priorities straight.  Interestingly, the AP reports don't mention Ken.....I'm just saying. 

• After whipping presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney by 12 points in South Carolina, Newt Gingrich's presidential bid has new life.  During Thursday's debate, Newt adroitly fended off clumsy questioning about his ex-wife's inflammatory statements.  Now I know that Newt is not the paragon of virtue conservatives would like him to be, but since when do scorned ex-wives automatically have bullet-proof credibility and unassailable integrity?  I'll tell you when....when they are criticizing Republicans.  

• Super model Heidi Klum is divorcing Seal after 6 years of marriage, citing the ever popular irreconcilable differences.  Pressed for details, Klum said "I was getting tired of having to throw raw fish to him at the dinner table every night.  All he ever wants to do is lay around and balance balls on his nose".

Mr. Klum in better days

• Last week's Youtube sensation was Winkelhimer, the painting squirrel.  The furry Van Gogh is all the rage in his hometown of Jennings, LA.  Rescued after a cat attack by Shyla Mouton, Winkelhimer has been painting ever since.  His Facebook page has 534 fans as of this writing, only 530 more than the SACSTW page.  Hint, hint SACSTW readers.....  Here is a video of the rodent Rembrandt at work:

Memo to Ms. Mouton....Winkelhimer isn't painting, he is chewing on the end of the brush.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

• As I write this, Billy Cundiff of the Baltimore Ravens has missed a game-tying 32 yard field goal at the end of the AFC championship game, sending the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl.  Never, never, never pin your post-season hopes on a kicker.
