We should fire Obama along with any member of Congress who supported him

Brilliant column by Doug Giles today, expressing point blank how he sees the McChrystal's "resignation" came down and how the general sacrificed himself in penance for voting for the Ditherer-in-Chief.

Astounding, isn't it, that the man who delays a decision on absolutely everything of importance made a decision about someone who insulted him in less than 24 hours? His priorities are so out of skew it is difficult to take him seriously about anything anymore.

Then on Friday, what does he talk about at length? Health care, the bill he and Pelosi and Reid bullied and bribed Congress into passing that almost 60% of Americans want repealed (for good reason). Why on earth is he still babbling on about health care? He got his way. He and his co-conspirators did the dance and cheated the American people out of their vote by contributing to the corruption of all those soon-to-be out of work Congressmen and Senators.

The level of incompetence, and even worse, lack of concern for Americans, that this administration continues to exhibit is a grim reminder that campaign rhetoric and promises of HOPE! CHANGE! PIXIE DUST! and a FREE UNICORN FOR ALL! was campaign rhetoric designed to misdirect the American people while the government dismantles the Constitution of our country. One thing is for certain, the lack of leadership in Washington right now could cost us all dearly in the long run, no matter how vast the electoral blood bath in November is.

"Obama Fires McChrystal, We Can Fire Obama"

by Doug Giles, Town Hall Daily

Unless you live on the oil-saturated bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, you’re probably well aware that our President, who happens to have skin thinner than that of an Iberian Ribbed Newt, fired General Stanley McChrystal for committing the unpardonable sin: He told the ugly truth about Obama.

Now, before I get flooded with emails about the impropriety of a general criticizing the commander-in-chief, let me remind you that most of you crying “foul” said squat when active duty General Eric Shinseki and other retired generals did that to W and Rummy when they were in office. Yes, I believe instead of howling “off with their heads!” you reveled in the generals going rogue on George. I believe you hypocritical dorks called the Bush dissenters “patriotic truth tellers.”So, why did McChrystal publicly say that Obama is dealing with things that are, how shall I say, above his pay grade, to a liberal magazine like Rolling Stone? Hell if I know. I’m not bulimic. I can’t read minds.

One possibility is that this is Stanley’s way of repenting to the nation for voting for this nabob. Or perhaps he was simply upholding his oath to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic. Who knows?

One thing that’s for certain in the utilization of the Stones mag is that a lot of Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga fans heard from the horse’s mouth that a four-star general, one whom Obama cherry-picked for the war in Afghanistan, one who actually voted for him, now thinks the community organizer has been elevated to a level of incompetence.

Yep, if that intel didn’t go out on a wire like Rolling Stone then the real story of Barack’s ghastly mishandling of Afghanistan would go untold to the non-Fox watchers as McChrystal tumbled under the oncoming Obama bus. Providence made certain that negative info went out to Lefties, uncut … to which I say, sa-weet! That’ll have reverbs at the polls this November.

Y’know, in the grand scheme of things, the Rolling Stone interview might prove to be more strategic than tragic for McChrystal and the war in Afghanistan. McChrystal jumping on the grenade is making BHO and his paramours in the MSM sit up and take notice that they’re not taking notice in regard to this heel-draggin’ conflict in Afghanistan. In addition, I smell a Tea Party tour, a regular spot on Hannity and Bud Lime commercials for Stanley.

I’m sure Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal can empathize with McChrystal as his state’s beaches morph into a Jiffy Lube drip pan while Hussein golfs and does duos with the cute Beatle. Similarly, I’ll go out on a limb and guess that Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer can equally empathize with the general; she’s not only been blown off by Barack, but Obama’s suing her state for upholding federal laws on immigration.

So, what’re the walk away lessons for me from McChrystal’s McHiccup? Well, it goes something like this:

1. Speaking the truth can be costly.

2. We should grow a pair and speak out against Obama’s fecklessness.

3. Obama may have been able to fire the General for speaking the truth, but he can’t fire America. No, on the contrary, we can “can” his backside and those of his stripe come their respective election days, and we should for the way they have mismanaged all the major issues touching our nation.

It's just the beginning ...

After months of Facebook friends telling me I should do a political blog (not to mention the embarrassment my children suffer every time I post something political), I've decided to follow their advice.

Most of my life I was a political idiot. I voted with emotion instead of common sense, logic, or (God forbid) researching a candidate. About 15 years ago I registered as an Independent instead of Democrat or Republican. I can't really remember which one I was at the time I changed, just that I'd had it with the gross misrepresentation of our political parties.The result is that in my early 50s I suddenly noticed what a colossal mess my generation has made in trying to run our wonderful country. Seriously, it's embarrassing. So I started reading, watching and reading the news, and more recently reading political blogs.

Instead of posting all those Town Hall, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, etc. articles on Facebook, I'll post them here and have only a tiny little note about it on FB. I'll interject my opinions as well, of course, because, well, it's me!

This is not a democratic blog, I am the Queen and this is my tiny, little kingdom. What I say goes. So if you are posting a lot of argumentative drivel or anonymously (puh-lease), I'll hit the delete key. You want to proselytize about the evils of conservatives, get your own blog.
