What would Michelle say? President Obama wolfs down TWO chili dogs and fries... the day after his wife unveils new dietary guide

The First Lady is renowned for her toned arms and vegetable patch. . .

 Kenya PM threatens to arrest gays  

I'm always amused when a person or group representing a culture other than ours does or proposes something morally reprehensible. Not because of their actions but because of the reaction of my colleagues in academia. I know that they want to condemn it as quickly and as strongly as if George Bush or a fundamentalist Christian had said or did it. But dammit, we can't pass judgment on other cultures!

Hypocrisy a virtue?

 The Times then and now 

You know, I think that hypocrisy is now considered a virtue by the Left.

Political Violence

When Republican Minority Leader John Boehner says,“. . . violence and threats are unacceptable. That’s not the American way." he ignores history. A good study of the roots of the Militia Movement, To Shake Their Guns in the Tyrant's Face: Libertarian Political Violence and the Origins of the Militia Movement by Robert Churchill shows that violence was a part of pre-Independence political discourse through the time of the Civil War and on into the 20th century.

And what of the violent anti-war protests of the 60's and 70's? Will the Left's hypocrisy hold that that was 'good' violence and as 'bad' any violent opposition to the current status quo?

MSM Hypocrisy: Staging Troop Shoot

For our Main Stream Media (Obama's PR Team) staged troop shoots are now good. Even a hint of something like that pre-Obama was HORRIBLE/TERRIBLE/SCANDALOUS! Flopping Aces shines the light.

Hypocrisy Explodes My Head

2 accused of hanging Obama effigy on Ky. campus

In part:

. . .the two men told detectives they decided to hang the effigy after seeing media reports about a Sarah Palin effigy in California.

Witnesses who saw the effigy Wednesday said it was life-sized with an Obama Halloween mask, a suit jacket and sweat pants. It was found hanging from a tree with a noose around its neck.

UK President Lee Todd said the effigy violates the university's code of ethics, and Fischer faces punishment that could include expulsion.

"As outrageous and offensive an act as the effigy was, I truly believe it has mobilized our campus, the community and the state in an effort to battle racism," Todd said Thursday.

Yessir, and I also predict that opposition to any of (soon to be) President Obama's policies will be greeted with the accusation, "Well, you just don't like it 'cause you're a racist!"

Out in West Hollywood they've hung Sarah Palin in effigy.

In part:

Chad Michael Morisette, who lives in the house, told CBS 2 News that drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene.

Morisette says the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween.

Now if someone hung Obama in effigy would it be accepted in the same way? Hmmm?

The (non-)Feminist Media

I've thought for some time now that there is no stigma to being a hypocrite. My opinion appears to be supported by Roberta X's dead-on observation of how misogynistic the MSM can be when dealing with The Enemy. She also observes:

We should probably thank our lucky stars the Republicans didn't run Condoleezza Rice. I'd just as soon not find out the dinosaur media's real feelings about race.

I think we already know.

Funny that the media never thinks any Democrats' children are fair game.

Quote of the Day

If a Democrat mom chooses public office, she’s a patriot Wonder Woman imbued with Absolute Moral Authority on children’s, health, and social welfare issues.

If a Republican mom chooses public office, she’s the child-neglecting spawn of Satan who has no business debating any domestic public policy because of alleged hypocrisy.

Ain’t feminism grand?
