“Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again”

“Everyone jump upon the peace train” (h/t: Yusuf Islam)

Everybody is speculating about why every “child” in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras is sneaking across our former southern border. Ann Coulter believes she knows:

The precise reason our borders are besieged is that the 11 million to 20 million "undocumented migrants" currently living here seem just a few more bad Marco Rubio speeches away from being legalized. And the reason they entered the country undocumentedly is that Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens in 1986.

I’ve been noodling on this for a while and still can’t zero in on a single answer. So I thought I’d toss out a few possible reasons and see what you think.  Let’s get in the mood, shall we?

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Feel free to add any reason I missed. As always, Chicago Rules apply; “votar anticipadamente, votar a menudo.”

 

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

 

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

You Will Know Them By Their Fruits –Matthew 7:15-20

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

When is the last time you heard a good story about the President walking into a restaurant and being told a bawdy gay-sex joke by the cashier? I mean, besides never?

Chalk this up as another first for Big Guy’s historical presidency; here’s what happened when BHO cut in line at a BBQ joint in Austin Texas to buy a ton of meat:

As the president approached, Webb threw his hand down and slapped the counter dramatically. "Equal rights for gay people!"

"Are you gay?" the president asked.

"Only when I have sex," [Webb said.]

"That's when he laughed and said, 'Bump me,'" Webb says.

For that matter, when was the last time you heard a President ask somebody if they were gay? In public I mean.

Butt Daniel, the gay-when-he-has-sex “cashier girl” appears to have issues beyond the ho-hum garden variety of “gay” gender confusion:

Photo of Daniel, wearing his preferred drag of sequins

"I only wear sequins…It's super-showy, and also easy. Other dresses, I look stupid in. That's when I look like a man in a dress, as opposed to a queen."

Okay, a queen. If you say so.

So why does Daniel, the gay rights advocate and gender-bender wear dresses anyway?

"You can be a little bitchier, and it makes sense."

Okay, I think I’m beginning to see where he’s going with this:

“Does this sequined dress make me look bitchy?”

"My mother got to shake hands with Kennedy in Fort Worth that morning he was assassinated, so just for consistency, it was kind of cool to meet with a sitting president. [ed. Does this person ever listen to what he/she is saying!? If I were the Secret Service, this kind of talk would make me a little nervous.] Her picture [is in a] crowd shot in this book called Four Days, so I kind of want to pull the photos next to each other and then wave it in my sister's face."

Let me go out on a limb here and guess that Daniel may have some unresolved, uh, “mother issues” that he really should deal with. And he really doesn’t look that good in sequins. As for Big Guy: all I can say is thank goodness he’s not interested in photo ops, because anything beyond that fist bump might have come back to bite him. IYKWIM.

Major kudos to Daniel - who “just happened” to be lucky enough to be the “cashier girl” the day Barry dropped in for some meat. His efficient use and exploitation of his 15 minutes is a textbook case of self-promotion. Too bad he can’t teach the government how to do that – the efficiency part, not the self-promotion.

Getting Back to Worrying About Real Stuff

As is his habit, BHO took the occasion of the annual Iftar dinner to deliver his first foreign relations speech of the year. (Here is where it is obligatory for JournOlists to insert the factoid that Bill Clinton started the Iftar dinner tradition and George W. Bush continued it.)

If you failed to tune in, “no worries,” as kids and Progressives like to say. You didn’t miss anything.

Besides, there were plenty of people there to cover the evening’s events.

And like I said, you really didn’t miss anything. It’s sort of like missing the final game of the World Cup: you won’t even notice and now you can get back to worrying about real stuff. Like global warming.

 

If we don’t stop global warming, it will be too hot for Muslim women to participate in their soccer approved burkas.

An Animus of a Different Color

I suppose some of you are going to object to this year’s Iftar Dinner too:

Because, “racial animus” or something.

Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday he and President Obama have been targets of “a racial animus” by some of the administration’s political opponents.

“There's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder told ABC. “You know, people talking about taking their country back. … There's a certain racial component to this for some people. I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there's a racial animus."

And by “some” he means Sarah Palin:

“She wasn’t a particularly good vice-presidential candidate,” Holder said. “She’s an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why.”

Because, as I’ve said “racial animus.” Or something. I can’t think of any other reason why people would want to impeach Barry. Can you?

Here come the “kids!”

Or any other reason they would object to a dinner in honor of the religion of peace in the White House. Can you?

Hamas lobs rockets into Israel, our presumptive ally

There certainly is animus here, my friend, butt it’s not exactly racial.

Sunday. Top Fault: Laziness

I know you won’t believe this, butt somebody has actually listed what they contend are BO’s Top 5 Faults. That seems a bit parsimonious; most people do a top ten.

Here’s Dan Cirucci’s list: Hubris. Arrogance. Mendacity. Petulance. Laziness. I would illustrate these characteristics myself butt I can’t do that on my own, somebody else will have to do that for me. And perhaps you can add in the other five of the top ten while you’re at it. Again, I’m feeling lazy, so you’ll have to carry that load too.

I’m sure Mr. Cirucci will appreciate your efforts.

Have a great Sunday.

Fight On!

Busy weekend here, so you’re on your own. Take your stream of consciousness for a walk. (And in response to yesterday’s petition, the answer is no. There will be no “simian reference” amnesty.)

To get you started, here’s a butt to butt comparison of the two First Ladies Of The Big ‘Ole Butt (FLOTBOB) at the League of United Latin American Citizens convention luncheon in New York yesterday:

       

The first lady also reproached the Republican-run House of Representatives for failing to pass the immigration reform measures that have already cleared the Senate, and for its hesitance to approve her husband’s $3.7 billion emergency relief bill to alleviate the growing crisis at the Mexican border, where thousands of Central American youth continue to pour in illegally. She repeated her husband’s vow to use executive orders to bypass Congress and force-fix the undocumented situation.

“Make no mistake about it, we must continue to fight on immigration. As my husband has said, he is going to do whatever action it takes!” the first lady said to raucous applause. “We can’t afford to wait on Congress to lift up our children! We can’t afford to wait for anybody!”

 

Fight On! And may the best butt win!

Friday, July 10 2014; the Meltdown Begins

Big Guy visited Colorado and Texas this week, where he took every opportunity to not visit the border and emphatically avoided providing any leadership with regards to the border crisis. Never being a man goaded into action by a bipartisan demand that he do his job, he chose to spend his time instead pointing out the fecklessness of Republicans.

“The best thing you can say for them is this year they have not shut down the government,” Obama said, adding, “but it’s only July.”

Uh, sir, everyone’s talking about the illegal aliens crossing the border, not the Republicans.

Whatever.

"You hear some of them ... 'Sue him! Impeach him!" Obama told backers in Austin, Texas, imitating his critics. "Really? Really? For what? You're going to sue me for doing my job?"

Uh, no sir…they want to sue you for NOT doing your job. Sir.

Well that’s crazy.

 

"Republicans didn't seem to mind when President Bush took more executive actions than I did. Maybe it's just me they don't like. I don't know."

Um, well they don’t like you sir, butt they don’t really think this is about George W. Bush anymore.

It’s because I’m black. Everyone says so.

"Ronald Reagan passed immigration reform, and you love Ronald Reagan!" Obama said of the GOP.

If by “immigration reform” you mean “amnesty” then yes he did. How’s that working out for you?

They’re opposed to my immigration reform plan because I’m black.

"Come on, sit down," said Obama, who met with the protesters after the speech. "I'm on your side, man. Sit down, guys, we'll talk about it later, I promise."

I’m afraid they’re losing faith in you, sir.

It’s because I’m black, isn’t it?

No sir, it’s because you keep blaming others for all the problems, don’t have any solutions, and now you won’t even do photo ops. Frankly, sir, the peasants are beginning to think they could handle your job better themselves.

Ok, I’ll do more photo ops.
