A Psycho Bird In The Hand...

THE GRINNING LOON: A species that is thriving in today's lush liberal political environment, the Grinning Loon most likely will be found in colleges, universities, the media and in particular. they may flock/migrate to the Halls of Congress.

The Grinning Loon is well known by it's peculiar cries, "He raped me!" and "I don't remember!" and "I was drunk!" that are frequently heard late in the Senate Confirmation mating season.

The Grinning Loon finds nurture and support from other species such as:

The Sagging Soros Vulture

Female Parody Genitalia Parrots

Nesting Aborted Dodos

Lascivious Gutter Politics

The National Enquirer has gotten its hands on some smut that someone somewhere hopes will destroy the presidential candidacy of Ted Cruz.  Let’s not pretend you haven’t read about it or heard it discussed on the boob tube.

Cruz is blaming Trump for the salacious story.  Trump denies it.  Some are tying the revelation to surrogates of Marco Rubio’s failed campaign.  Fingers are pointing literally everywhere.

The man at the center of this tabloid trash has characterized himself as an evangelical, a family man, courageous, conservative, consistent.  The allegation of extramarital affairs is calculated to destroy his credibility.

The headline on the front cover of the National Enquirer might as well have read, “Ted Cruz is Periodically Stricken by Pon Farr and Must Return to Vulcan to Take a Mate or Die.”

Nothing has thus far been proven.  Nothing has been corroborated.  Nothing credible presented by credible journalists has emerged.

The dark art of opposition research is a perfected art form with the Clintons.  Their machine peddles hit jobs like no other.  Is it possible that Bill and Hillary’s oppo machine is behind all this?

Don’t laugh. In 2011, the founders of American Bridge, the first super PAC devoted exclusively to researching damaging information on GOP candidates, leveraged big donations from labor unions and donors such as George Soros to fund an army of campaign trackers and data miners.  

American Bridge has been credited with the destruction of Mitt Romney and Todd Akin. Its leaders have formed another super PAC called Correct the Record whose sole mission is to push the boundaries of campaign finance law by directly coordinating its research efforts with Clinton’s presidential campaign.

If @realDonaldTrump and @SenTedCruz would direct their focus on the criminal @HillaryClinton, the chips would fall where they may. #USA

And The Voices That Annoy Him Are Those Of The Founders

Presented for your dining and dancing pleasure—“In IRS Scandal, Echoes of Watergate” by George Will:

The burglary occurred in 1972, the climax came in 1974, but 40 years ago this week—May 17, 1973—the Senate Watergate hearings began exploring the nature of Richard Nixon’s administration. Now the nature of Barack Obama’s administration is being clarified as revelations about IRS targeting of conservative groups merge with myriad Benghazi mendacities.

This administration aggressively hawked the fiction that the Benghazi attack was just an excessively boisterous movie review. Now we are told that a few wayward souls in Cincinnati, with nary a trace of political purpose, targeted for harassment political groups with “tea party” and “patriot” in their titles. The Post reported Monday that the IRS also targeted groups that “criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution.” Credit the IRS’s operatives with understanding who and what threatens the current regime.

Jay Carney, whose unenviable job is not to explain but to explain away what his employers say, calls the IRS’s behavior “inappropriate.” No, using the salad fork for the entree is inappropriate. Using the Internal Revenue Service for political purposes is a criminal offense.

It remains to be discovered whether the chief executive is guilty of more than an amazingly convenient failure to superintend the excesses of some executive-branch employees beyond the Allegheny Mountains. Meanwhile, file this under “What a tangled web we weave”:

The IRS official in charge of the division that makes politically sensitive allocations of tax-exempt status said Friday that she learned from news reports of the targeting of conservatives. But a draft report by the IRS inspector general says this official was briefed on the matter two years ago.

An emerging liberal narrative is that this tempest is all the Supreme Court’s fault: The Citizens United decision—that corporations, particularly nonprofit advocacy groups, have First Amendment rights—so burdened the IRS with making determinations about who deserves tax-exempt status that some political innocents in Cincinnati inexplicably decided to begin by rummaging through the affairs of conservatives. Ere long, presumably, they would have gotten around to groups with “progressive” in their titles.

Remember, all campaign “reform” proposals regulate political speech. And all involve the IRS in allocating speech rights.

Liberals, whose unvarying agenda is enlargement of government, suggest, with no sense of cognitive dissonance, that this IRS scandal is nothing more sinister than typical government incompetence. Five days before the IRS story broke, Obama, sermonizing 109 miles northeast of Cincinnati, warned Ohio State graduates about “creeping cynicism” and “voices” that “warn that tyranny is . . . around the corner.” Well.

He stigmatizes as the vice of cynicism what actually is the virtue of skepticism about the myth that the tentacles of the regulatory state are administered by disinterested operatives. And the voices that annoy him are those of the Founders.

Time was, progressives like the president 100 years ago, Woodrow Wilson, had the virtue of candor: He explicitly rejected the Founders’ fears of government. Modern enlightenment, he said, made it safe to concentrate power in Washington, and especially in disinterested executive-branch agencies run by autonomous, high-minded experts. Today, however, progressivism’s insinuation is that Americans must be minutely regulated because they are so dimwitted they will swallow nonsense. Such as: There was no political motive in the IRS targeting political conservatives.

Episodes like this separate the meritorious liberals from the meretricious. The day after the IRS story broke; The Post led the paper with it, and, with an institutional memory of Watergate, published a blistering editorial demanding an Obama apology. The New York Times consigned the story to page 10 (its front-page lead was the umpteenth story about the end of the world being nigh because of global warming). Through Monday, the Times had expressed no editorial thoughts about the IRS. The Times’ Monday headline on the matter was: “IRS Focus on Conservatives Gives GOP an Issue to Seize On.” So that is the danger.

If Republicans had controlled both houses of Congress in 1973, Nixon would have completed his term. If Democrats controlled both today, the Obama administration’s lawlessness would go uninvestigated. Not even divided government is safe government, but it beats the alternative.

“Mr. President, Take Your Campaign Out Of The Gutter”

Does anyone associated with the Obama campaign, including the President himself; retain a shred of character or integrity?  No.  Jug Ears keeps lying, unfazed.

At the homecoming arranged to welcome Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan held at the Waukesha County Exposition Center Sunday night, the Wisconsin Reporter noted, “liberal group Wisconsin Jobs Now! planned a protest at the R&R homecoming to “get Paul Ryan reacquainted with REAL Wisconsinites.”

“One protester planted in the Romney/Ryan rally crowd took the opportunity to scream words inaudible from the press rafters. They may as well have been heresies in a church service, as the crowd around the protester drowned him out with a flood of ‘USA! USA!’ chants.”

Police escorted the man away as Romney pretended not to notice “This is a critical time for the country,” Romney said. “You’re here tonight to celebrate the selection of an extraordinary guy to be our nominee for vice president, but you also know this is a time of great seriousness for the nation. We have 23 million people out of work.”

Another protester heckled the presidential candidate. This time, Romney answered back.

“You see, young man, this group here is respectful of other people’s rights to be heard,” Romney said. “And you ought to find yourself a different place to be disruptive, because here we believe in listening to people with dignity and respect.”

Romney, more fiery than in any of his previous Wisconsin speeches, took aim at Obama and a Democratic campaign Romney asserts has wallowed in the mud.

“Mr. President, take your campaign out of the gutter. Let’s talk about the real issues that America faces,” Romney said. “People in America are hurting right now. The middle class is struggling right now. Incomes have dropped by $4,000 per family under this president. Health care premiums have gone up by $2,500. Utility costs are up. Gasoline prices are up. People are having a hard time. They want to know if America is going to come back. It is, if it gets new leadership.”
