Everybody’s Bending Over
It was a bad day for Poles and Slavs Thursday as U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled a new missile defense strategy that pretty much leaves their poles hanging out in the wind … all in an effort to obtain Russian support in dealing with those crazy Iranians.
So much for our commitment to helping countries “yearning to breathe free” and all that.
And why not screw over the Poles? Everybody does. And the Czechs, too. Seriously, people … how itching an inferiority complex must these two nations have at this point? They’re basically Mother Russia’s bitch again, which we suppose is better than being Hitler’s bitch.
Or for that matter Obama’s bitch.
One thing we know for certain, though, is that our new President is now Vladimir Putin’s bitch. Big-time.
In his first major showdown with the judo-chopping Russian bear (and that other guy who leads Russia), Obama blinked – and got absolutely nothing in return for taking a major chip off the table. So Russia is now “open” to sanctioning Iran?
Pardon our lack of enthusiasm.
Plus, there’s a legitimate case to be made that this new arrangement will directly endanger American security. After all, what happens when Iran develops a long-range missile capability? Obama’s plan leaves the Eastern United States vulnerable in that scenario.
Trillions of dollars in bailouts, czars for everything under the sun, a push for socialized medicine and a massive new energy tax … and now we’re bending over for the Ruskies?
We never thought we’d say this, but can somebody bring back the worst president ever?
We’ll take a RINO moron who at least protected American security over this “jackass.”

“We never thought we’d say this, but can somebody bring back the worst president ever?”
You really want Jimmy Carter back? That racist moron???
The Obama Mania media has called the “Obama Depression” the worst since the “The Great Depression”, but it is the same as Dim Wit Carter (aka)peanut brain used the same policies…
It’s still early… But I can easily see hundreds of Americans being held hostage for years in a terrorist country, while O’Bozo asks for more tax $$$ to pay for a “crack whore” bailout…
At least he hasn’t asked was the meaning of the word is – is… (yet)

Is Rev. Jeremiah Wright running our State Department? We all know what he thinks about the “USA”.
By lars on September 18th, 2009 at 7:45 am
In nine short months Obama has successfully insulted a majority of our allies: England, France, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Colombia, and Hondorus. Obama pledged in April 2009 that he would construct a missile defence shield in Poland. Yesterday, he changed his mind. Why should any country who has any agreement with America trust this Administration? Why should anyone trust this Administration?

Despite BushDaddy’s bragging and profuse praises to Raytheon, the much vaunted Patriot missiles stopped not one of Saddam’s WWII technology missiles from detonating its warhead on the ground in Israel and few altered the missile courses by even a few hundred yards.
Missile shields may well be more charades and inducers of uncertainty (or aerospace corporation welfare) than true barriers. More likely here they were more geopolitical than directly military in original purpose anyway. And at their worst they become Maginot lines and providers of a dangerous false sense of security. Thus it is hard to judge rethinking on them in any simple “abandoning ‘thus and such’ peoples.”
Shouting redneck yahoos, libertarian far-trysting libertines, and net porners are so much simpler.

Technology changes. Who heard of an i-phone 6 years ago when your Scuds were falling out of the sky?
By Pat Hendrix on September 18th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Ah, the hilarity of fits and its patrons. Hey morons, Russia has tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. To think this silly, modern day version of the Maginot Line would have any effect if they decided to deploy their nuclear arsenal on their neighbors is beyond insipid. This concession, if it helps bring the Russians, who are the chief suppliers of nuclear expertise to the Iranians, would be an enormous diplomatic windfall. Stop thinking like a bunch of bedwetting, teenagers and recognize that this is how things get done. Or we can posture like the Bush Administration and allow the Iranians to go nuclear just like North Korean. Or what, fits? A conventional airstrike wouldn’t accomplish anything. I suppose a nuclear strike against Iran? Yeah, vaporize millions of people. Brilliant idea.

“Step right up, folks. Our new “Wowwy Zowwy” anti-missile missiles are GUAR-AN-TEED to work THIS time. Why just look at these slick brochures from the manufacturer! Written by the retired Air Force general who originally got them the contract, now a Senior Corporate Vice President. Why if you can’t believe him, WHO can you believe. You can sleep easy behind the thin silver line of these babies. GUAR-AN-REED.”

Have the Russians ever honored any miltary non-proliferation treaty? What about Venezuela? Russia is supplying Venezuela with over 100 modern, offensive battle tanks, 100,000 high-tech sniper rifles, and nuclear technology. What’s Obama’s answer to Chavez’s anti-US rhetoric and Russian imperialism of South America?
I get it. Hope and change…

S.D.
Your spiteful rhetoric aside, what is your point? You haven’t answered any of the questions posed by ronald or cerius. I suspect that since you have no answer you resort to name-calling.
BTW, the polls aren’t looking so swell for Team O.
By Pat Hendrix on September 18th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Ronald,
Please explain to me this “Russian imperialism of South America.” Has something happened that I’m not aware of? Russia establish a foothold in South America? Launch a stealth invasion not covered in the press? Or did they just unload a bunch of worthless and antiquated weapons to a broke, piss ant nation that poses no threat to the United States? Or do you envision a scenario where a few 1960s-1970s Russian tanks cross through Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaruga, Hondorus, Guatemala and Mexico before invading Texas?
You people need to take a nap.
By CNSYD on September 18th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Now we know why Sanfraud visited these countries on a private jet. He was trying to sell them a missle defense system manufactured right here in SC as he knew Uncle Sam wasn’t going to do it. We know the system works, even though it is invisible, as no Russian missles have ever struck SC.
By Pat Hendrix on September 18th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Cerius,
“Team O’s” numbers have actually rebounded. Go read a newspaper, dude.
http://www.businessinsider.com/obamas-poll-numbers-bounce-back-2009-9
The Republicans, however, – yikes.
Hey, you always have Rasmussen. Of course if you believe his polling, McCain is president and the Republicans still have control of both houses of Congress.
By cerius on September 18th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Pat,
You underestimate the growing Russian and Iranian influence in South America. Gen. Custer also underestimated his native American foes and their technology at Little Big Horn.
By Strom's Daughter on September 18th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Name-calling?
Did you see all the misspelled signs at the 75,000-Moron March last week?
As a matter of fact, “Get a Brain, Morans!” was the funniest of all.
Why, you could have made a hilarious 9-hour documentary just asking those idiots one-by-one to define the word “socialism.”
I didn’t vote for Obama, Assumption-jockey, but I sure as hell don’t see your crowd of Jesus jumpers leading anybody anywhere — except back to the Dark Ages which obviously crapped them.

Pat,
Your sneering arrogance regarding Venezuela’s potential military threat to US interests reminds me of how the North viewed the “pis sant” South…until they got their asses kicked at Bull Run.
By santos on September 18th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Pat,
Most likely Russia will use Venezuela as a proxy state. Hezbollah and Hamas, with Iranian funding–and Russian approval, are actively establishing networks throughout Latin America. Of course, no one foresees Chavez’s army rumbling through Central America to attack Texas. Such a scenario is comical.
Chavez is forming a very strong alliance with Russia and Iran which will threaten to destablize the geopolitical landscape of South America. With nuclear technology provided by Russia, it’s quite possible that a nuclear arms race could begin in South America, and that’s the last thing our hemisphere needs…
Moreover, it’s not inconceivable that this nuclear technology will be acquired by Hezbollah terrorists operating from Venezuela to threaten US security interests in an asymmetric manner …
By Strom's Daughter on September 18th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I am a Christian bigot.
Anybody who thinks a cracker is the living flesh of Jesus, all ready to be cannibalized, is FUCKING INSANE.
INSANE . . . do you read me?
Any adult who thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old is worse off than retarded, because retarded people CAN’T HELP IT because they were BORN WITH BRAIN DAMAGE, but the adult has access to basic geological evidence like the GRAND FUCKING CANYON.
Any adult who is waiting for Jesus to come back and run around like a zombie any day now is HIGHLY FUCKING DELUSIONAL and needs to be kept away from children . . . even South Carolina children.
Any adult who professes to converse with supernatural beings needs to be locked the fuck up because they’re hearing things THAT AREN’T FUCKING THERE.
So, yeah, I am a bigot. You’re damn right.
By Strom's Daughter on September 18th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Sorry . . . that should be “anti-Christian bigot.”
Very sorry.

Strom’s Daughter, so if the world is as you say, then what’s the point? Apparently you were never in a foxhole.
By Strom's Daughter on September 19th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
“Apparently you were never in a foxhole.”
CNSYD,
I don’t care what you like to do with foxes.
DHEC estimates that at any given time half this state is busy cornholing four-legged creatures.
And it isn’t much better next door in Georgia where oral sex with a human is still classified as a felony, while sex with a farm animal is only a misdemeanor.
So you and a fox doesn’t surprise me much. I guess you drug them to keep the rabies down.
By CNSYD on September 19th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
S.D., I am still waiting on your point for human life. Apparently you don’t have one. Oh well, we only see now thru a glass darkly, but one day all things will be made clear.
By sid on September 20th, 2009 at 1:32 am
I’m not clear, here. Is sex with StD a misdemeanor in Georgia, or South Carolina?
By Sunnyvaleboy on September 20th, 2009 at 10:29 am
CNSYD….Your OK with the fox, they arent considered farm animals.
By CNSYD on September 20th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
sid, it is interesting that S.D. is so familar with the laws concerning these activities.

CNSYD:
“. . . but one day all things will be made clear.”
How the hell do you know?
Did somebody sell you some magic beans, and you climbed up a beanstalk to find it all out?
Or maybe you read it in a magic book.
I’m not buying it.
The point of human life is what YOU want it to be — not what some rodent-humping, Bible-beating jerk like you insists upon it being.
“Personal responsibility,” remember?
Or is that just a marketing gimmick you Shi’ite Baptists swiped?

Sunnyvaleboy, apparently your draft dodging ass is unfamilar with the old WWII expression that there are no atheists in foxholes. I guess you think wars are fought sitting in a chair in a room in your parent’s house playing a video game.
By Strom's Daughter on September 20th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Nope, CNSYD, that’s an urban myth passed around by Christian crackers like you.
There are actually more atheists in foxholes than any place on earth, because they can’t believe a merciful, loving god would put them in their horrible situation, and, therefore, they quickly reject gods and start to look out for themselves.
Ernest Hemingway, for example, nearly got his leg blown off as an ambulance driver during WWI — and his experience merely confirmed the atheism he already felt.
So, once again, you’re full of crap — some of it likely packed by farm animals.
By CNSYD on September 20th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
s.d., one day we shall all know. you keep your version and I will keep mine. personal responsibility to what and whom? did you learn this philosophy from Manson?
By CNSYD on September 20th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
s.d., so explain to me life’s purpose again? would you rather have a god that controlled your every thought and movement or one who lets you do your own will whatever that is. I believe Uncle Joe was of your mindset. I see that really helped out his victims. When you take the world’s population and put those on one side who believe in some sort of supreme being vs those who believe there is nothing, your side of the line is very small.
By Strom's Daughter on September 20th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
CNSYD,
Thanks for telling me I can keep my version. I didn’t know I could do that until you told me. I always thought you could keep yours, though.
“(P)ersonal responsibility to what and whom?”
Think about that first word “personal.” It would have to refer to the person invoking it, right?
“Personal” as in “Personal Pan Pizza.”
See, this is how dumb you are: You’re asking me who is supposed to eat a Personal Pan Pizza. “To what and whom is this pizza for?” you ask in your confusion.
“Why, ‘personal’ means ‘personal to you,’ Cupcake. How hard a concept could that be to grasp?
“Did you learn this philosophy from Manson?”
I see. In your world, philosophies always have to be handed down from somebody else. You can’t come to your own conclusions because you live in a mental Nanny State.
So, then, it’s more accurate to say that your ideas are closer to the Manson Family’s since they need to be handed down from above. They aren’t gotten from within — can’t be gotten from within. It would break up the Family. So I’d say you’ve chosen an ample metaphor here to describe you.
P.S.
Joseph Heller, the author of CATCH-22, flew 60 bombing missions during World War II and was also an atheist. Actually, he should probably be described as a “sub-atheist,” because it didn’t make any difference to him whether there was a god or not. He didn’t care one way or the other. I guess Manson told him to be like that.
By CNSYD on September 20th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
S.D. where is Heller today? So you are only responsible to yourself? Do you pledge allegiance to the US using a hand me down pledge? Or do you owe no allegiance? I assume you have no money that says “In God we trust” on it as it would be a phrase that was handed down to you and would violate your “principles”.
By Strom's Daughter on September 20th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
s.d., so explain to me life’s purpose again?
I’m saying that life’s purpose is whatever you want it to be . . . you, you, you.
It doesn’t even have to have a purpose if that makes someone happy. Where is it written that it’s required to have a purpose, anyway? Who commands such a humorless edict?
And to use Joseph Stalin to smear all atheists is dishonest. Albert Einstein was an atheist, too. So what does that prove? Nothing.
Atheism is a matter of personal intellectual preference. Ayn Rand — somebody I don’t particularly admire — was an atheist who absolutely hated Stalin.
You make poor arguments that don’t stand up to much reasoning. The Enlightenment has left you in the dark, yet you get to use technology like computers and the Internet inspired by science and not the Bible.
You’re like a one-man impaired school district.
By Strom's Daughter on September 20th, 2009 at 6:02 pm

I assume you have no money that says “In God we trust” on it as it would be a phrase that was handed down to you and would violate your “principles”.
I don’t know where Heller is today. Dead, I imagine. So?
The Pledge of Allegiance was written at the turn of the 19th Century by a Christian Socialist and popularized in a children’s magazine called “The Youth’s Companion.” I don’t see its relevance to this debate, and I tried really hard.
Putting “In God We Trust” on money was done by some politicians long ago who, granted, were probably pretty god-like in their day, but who also have little to say that would inform our discussion.
I think you’re simply a confused person who has the benefit of a computer.

Can I ask which foxholes and/or wars that you took an active part in?…
You know killed and/or shot at people who hate America as much as you do???
By Strom's Daughter on September 21st, 2009 at 7:56 am
Yeah, anybody who has an opinion on anything must hate America.
They should also be required to provide their military credentials before expressing anything.
Is that what Rush told you? He served in Vietnam with me, didn’t he?
