Lonewolf Diaries: Barack Obama is “Not My President”

by Steven Crowder

I know, I know. It’s cliche and trust me, I hated the punks/celebrities who wore those slogan t-shirts throughout the Bush administration as much as the rest of you. The day Obama was elected, like many of you I told myself “Well, I didn’t vote for him, but he’s my President and I’ll support him.” A few months later, times have changed and I feel the need to officially declare that Barack Obama is “Not My President.” If you disagree, feel free to smack me around a little. If you feel the same way put your John Hancock down below and make your voice heard.

Seeing as the “Green Day Liberals/American Idiots” started the whole “Bush is not my President” schtick and their new album is dropping this week, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate time to issue a retort. Granted, the men of Green Day have had to overcome a lot to attain the success they enjoy today. It’s not every day that a group of legally-declared midgets can produce platinum-selling albums. Folks, I can give credit where credit is due. Rather than accept this success on behalf of the “little people” however, Green Day (along with other generic punk bands) had to start the “not my President” crusade against their commander in chief during a time of war. Punk bands even collectively put out the “Rock Against Bush” album which was eyebrow-raisingly sympathetic towards our enemies. Some would call it treason, I call it “a-bunch-of-uneducated-toolbags-playing-power-chords-in-an-attempt-to-brainwash-the-youth-of-America.” (more…)

The Days of Swine and Moses

by Moxie

A lot has happened in fourteen days — since Friday, the 24th of April — when the wires started buzzing 24/7 about the “Swine Flu.”

Oh wait, my bad. Now it’s the much more politically correct, H1N1 (Dems can’t offend the porcine population, they might need Porky Pig or pro-choice Miss Piggy to vote in 2010 and 2012).

In the meanwhile, a lot of stories haven’t been covered nearly enough outside of blogs and Fox News. Oddly, the vast majority of these stories seem to be things Obama God, Jr. wants to keep quiet. Here’s a not so exhaustive list: (more…)

The Ghost of John F. Kennedy

by Ernie Mannix

“Strange…”  he blurted, on feeling that familiar pain in his lower back. “I’m just vapor and thought, and I still need a chiropractor.”

The handsome man instinctively brushed aside the hair barely hanging down on his forehead as he pressed on towards the residence portion of the house.

“Ah… I am here to see Obama” he told the secret service guard inside the residence. The guard did not react at all.  John Fitzgerald Kennedy knew right off that his presence would be seen only by his intended audience and the guard saw nothing. “Fix your tie pal.” Kennedy joked as he walked passed the oblivious sentry.

“You must be President Kennedy”, Obama sheepishly asked the figure now standing above him as he lay in bed.  ”These visits are getting quite regular, are you the last?”  (more…)

All the Wrong Moves

by James Hudnall

If the last two months are any indication, Barack Obama is a better bowler than he is a president.

And to think all the “smart people” in Hollywood sold him as a “brilliant” mind. Of course, this is brilliant by Hollywood standards. The place that remade “The Beverly Hillbillies.”

Let’s review how brilliant the president is. After spending his campaign complaining about President Bush’s lavish outlays, he decided to triple it.  Not just triple it, but spend more than all the presidents who preceded him combined. Take a good look at this chart of deficits and look at the one he’s projected. Here is a “best case” scenario from Obama fluffer network MSNBC. Now this is how his budget stacks up against “stupid” president Bush and others before him. This is Bush’s deficits compared to Obama’s. Yes, Obama’s budget is brilliant if you want to bankrupt the U.S. and keep its citizens indebted for generations. But maybe that’s his cunning plan. (more…)

…In Which Ben Bernanke Explains It All To Us

by Gary Graham

Hmmm.   Is it just me that thinks this is sadly ironic?  That we hear the President say on the news that he’s going to try to block the AIG bonuses for top executives, who are guilty of “recklessness and greed”…for the $165 Million they are contractually obliged to receive?  After bailing AIG out to the tune of $180 Billion, (billion with a ‘B’) of taxpayer dollars??

Hey, I don’t care a wit about these AIG guys, and to hell with them.  They screwed up their company but good, and I’m sure more than one shareholder would like to spend a few up-close-and-personal minutes in a closed room with them.  And if job performance is to be the criteria for bonuses, it’s probably more equitable that, rather than receiving a bonus, they should be perp-walked off to prison; straight to the showers to sing the Song of Sodom.  Put them between a jailhouse rock and a hard place.  So to speak.

Madoff and Obama: Fellow Ponzi Schemers

by Burt Prelutsky

First, let me make it clear that I despise Bernard Madoff and wanted to see him fry.  Still, I must confess that when I first heard that they were sending this elderly rat to jail for a hundred years, it struck me as absurd.  But if it’s true that the good die young, I suppose it’s just possible that Madoff might walk out of prison a free man in 2109.  

On the other hand, I kept asking myself why anyone would invest with this schmuck.  When I was a kid, I used to watch a TV show called “Racket Squad.”  Every week they would dramatize a different con game.  (Obviously, while young Burt was just sitting home watching, young Bernie was busily taking notes.)  As varied as the cons were, the moral was always the same.  As the show’s narrator, Reed Hadley, patiently pointed out week after week, if something sounds too good to be true, turn around and run, don’t walk.

The Obama Presidency: Another Lousy Remake

by Michael McGruther

Mr. President, the fact that you and your party spent the better part of 8 years systematically and falsely tearing down the presidency of George W. Bush to seize this moment of power is reflective of the fact that your party is corrupt beyond belief. Only a corrupt organization can behave with one singular, mean-spirited and patently false message like that for eight long years.  You’re not a real leader, but instead you’re a brilliant MIS-leader.

I’ve intentionally held back from being too critical long enough to give the President and his staff time to really show their hand to the American people but enough is enough. This is a disaster that is going to last 4 slow, long years and will likely end with legions of young Democrats, completely disenfranchised, running to our party because we’re the only ones who actually read and understand the fine print. Consider a vote for a Republican in 2010 and 2012 to be like that extended warranty you can purchase with expensive electronics. You know, the one that provides added protection against defects? If what’s broke cannot be fixed then it’s replaced free of charge with something new and better — and Congress has been making some strange sucking sounds lately… (more…)

Take That, Mr. Moneybags!

Big X here, broadcasting live from Celluloid City in the swishy-swishy Peacock Lounge, high atop the mighty Breitbart Tower on Sunset and Cherokee!

Holy cats, what’s next?!

After last week’s spectacular victory over Hard Times with the passage of his trillion-dollar Stimulus Bill, the sour-puss Republican Tycoonocracy was crying in their caviar, throwing a tizzy over the so-called “deficit” and demanding to know who will pay the piper for all those bee-yutiful C-notes!
