common ground

abortion doc killed in church.

Flashback to Obama's commencement address at Notre Dame on May 17th. Obama told the story of receiving a letter from a Christian doctor (Not to be redundantly repetitive here, but Christian = pro-life. Sad that this caveat is needed) concerned with the rhetoric from his campaign staff. He quoted this doctor as stating, "I do not ask at this point that you oppose abortion, only that you speak about this issue in fair-minded words."

Obama then goes on to say he wrote the doctor back and promised to "extend the same presumption of good faith... to those who may not think precisely like we do... that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground."

His plea for "common ground" on abortion was ridiculous then, and it is ridiculous now. Let me demonstrate by taking a few more excerpts from this lame @$$ speech and swap out a few words and replace them with references to the murder of Doctor Mengele George Tiller:

"...That's when we begin to say, maybe we won't agree on abortion killing mass murderers, but we can still agree that this heart-wrenching decision for any woman isby this 51-year-old suspect was not made casually, it has both moral and spiritual dimensions.

So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions shootings of abortionist doctors, let's reduce unintended pregnancies church slayings. (Applause.)... Let's honor the conscience of those who (dis)agree with abortion killing this so-called doctor... (Applause.)... Each side will continue to make its case to the public with passion and conviction. But surely we can do so without reducing those with differing views to caricature."

Did that make you cringe? It was no more outrageous than his un"doctored" remarks.

Of course, HuffingGluePost readers wouldn't sink to caricature by impugning all pro-lifers for this lone gunman's actions, would they?

Leftwing whacko Comments:
* Let's compromise: Let's ban late term abortions and Republicans.

* We need to rally around this, leverage it to finally rid ourselves of the right wing.

* Do Republicans still think it's a good idea to have these whackos in the GOP?

* Note to self: Do not try to engage in intelligent dialog with the christian right.

* This is blatant act of domestic terrorism by the Christian Taliban.

* It is time to end the Religious Right and conservatives in general. They are hate-breeders one and all. When will we wake up to the dangers of allowing the Republican party to continue its existence?

Where do I stand? Right along side Randall Terry on this one:

Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue states, "George Tiller was a mass-murderer. We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God. I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder. And we still must call abortion by its proper name; murder.

"Those men and women who slaughter the unborn are murderers according to the Law of God. We must continue to expose them in our communities and peacefully protest them at their offices and homes, and yes, even their churches."

OBAMA: "...However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."

What is ABORTION, mister president, if not heinous acts of violence?

Prediction: Detroit Red Wings in Four!

I'm breaking my paranoid Detroit Red Wings hockey jinx rule and going out on a a limb here to state my prediction on the eve of the Stanley Cup Finals 2009. Wings in four. There, I said it. Did it make you cringe Shang? Not only that, I am going to leave the 9" black and white dark and treat myself to the game on the large cinemaview LCD in the family room. I am going to do so with an arrogant confidence that nothing can derail my beloved Wings in their quest for their fifth Cup in the last 12 years, and their second back-to-back in that string.

Why tempt fate, DaBlade? Your Red Wings are on a roll for cryin' out loud! Didn't they sweep the Columbus Blue Jackets, handle a very talented and physical Anaheim team in 7 games, and dominate the Chicago Black Hawks in 5 games for the conference championship?

Exactly. They have lost 5 out of their last 16 games and I find this dismal performance simply unacceptable. Besides, this is a rematch with that same team they slapped around last year to lift the Cup. A team that is named after pudgy flightless water fowl no less. A fitting mascot for the likes of Cindy Crosby. Maybe the Mule will remove his mouth guard if he misbehaves, as he did with Kane in the last series.



Besides, any city that is proud of this...

The salad and fries are included ON the sandwich? I'm sorry, that's just lazy. Real men eat...

Two Lafayette coney islands. This platter is a tasty cardiological disaster and the pride of the city. Obama may have wrestled control of GM, but just let the POTUS POSSEE near this cherished establishment and you will see true anarchy in the streets. Tiananmen revisited. My chiseled frame would single-handedly stop a tank intent on moving on this coney dog heaven.

Bring it on! A win today and tomorrow, then it's two pickets to tittsburgh for the sweep!

POTUS POSSEE (and other nonsense)

Drew Peterson introduces his "new standup comedy act" via collect call to a radio show. He suggests they hold a "Win a Conjugal Visit with Drew" contest.
Hey girls, he is only accused of murdering wives number three and four, so your odds aren't impossible. Just laugh at his jokes and everything will be OK.

I'd be wary of "open Mike" night at the cell block if it were me. Just sayin'...



"I got a lot of buddies willing to wash my back in the shower, what's that all about?" Ba dum bum *rimshot*

"The food's different. Now I know why there are seatbelts on the toilets." Ba dum bum *rimshot*

"To be falsely accused of a homicide that didn't happen - twice now (chuckly chuckle)"... Ba dum bum *rimshot*

"I really miss my grooming aids like being able to trim my mustache and nose hairs, but then I don't want to be particularly attractive in this place so..." *crickets*

Thank you! I'll be here all week. Actually, I'll be here for the rest of my pathetic life! Tip your waitress, who happens to be Andy Defresne in drag tonight. Try the veal. Get busy livin' or get busy dying. YOu've been a great audience goodnight everybody.

Actually ladies, having to laugh at this guy greatly diminishes your odds.

Hmmmmm

Laughing hysterically at a very unfunny person. Kinda reminds me of the treatment White House press secretary Robert Gibbs receives from his adoring leftwing reporter hacks at the briefings. He is the flesh and blood equivalent of Obama's teleprompter, so why wouldn't they love him? BTW, Isn't his "Gimmee the phone" bit a Chris Rock routine?

Just like Peterson, I'm sure he could get any number of them to wash his back after the breifing. Or should I say "DEbriefing".

Here is today's understatement of the day...
"It's possible that reporters just think Gibbs is much funnier than the Bush people," Graham (for Media Research Center) said. "But I think this is another subliminal sign that reporters are much more comfortable with a spokesman that represents the hope and change they voted for."

For my entertainment dollar, I'd sit through a Drew Peterson standup while being waterboarded before I'd listen to this guy.

Hmmmmm

* When I first saw the picture of the black female reporter being dragged away by POTUS POSSEE from Air Force One on Drudge, I immediately assumed it was Oprah. "Michelle has finally had enough of that Winfrey groupie," I thought. (actually, I just wanted to say "POTUS POSSEE".) POTUS POSSEE, POTUS POSSEE, POTUS POSSEE. After all, the "Fresh Prince" needs to have his peeps looking out dontcha know.

Bogus conversations in my fertile mind

Obama's supreme court nominee Sonia Sotomayor on judicial prudence:
I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Gingrich: WTF?

Sotomayor: I was talking about Joe Biden there. C'mon now. Everybody knows he is a few hair plugs short of a full pate. The "JOBS is a 3 letter word" guy. I was being kind with the "wise Latina women" comment. I could have said Joe didn't have the intellectual range of a transgenic monkey.

Biden: What's a cross-dressing ape got ta do with it? One cross-species wardrobe exchange during my college days and now ol' Champ is labeled?

Gingrich: A racist Latina woman should have to withdraw.

Robert Gibbs: Careful! Measure those words carefully!
Ross Perot: Measure twice, cut once. Don't piss off those mexicanos Newt, or all you'll hear is a great sucking sound...
Bill Clinton: I didn't know that Monica was a salsa chick, but she knows her way around a Cuban cigar.

Janet Murguía, president of La Raza.“If there is the perception that somehow she (Sotomayor) is being treated unfairly or they are distorting her record or comments, I think there will be a backlash in the Latino community... There could be great resentment within the Latino community if it is seen somehow that she is not being treated with the respect due to a Supreme Court nominee.”

Robert Gibbs: Careful!

Clark Griswold: "Come on, honey. We can't close our eyes to the plight of the city! Kids, you noticing all this plight?" "Roll 'em up!" "Excuse me, holmes?"


Julianne Malveaux, African-American economist and president of Bennett College, made headlines on November 4, 1994, when she said this of Supreme Court Justice Thomas: "I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease."

and what does Malveaux think of Obama's latest nomination to the court?

Malveaux: I hope she eats A healthy, delicious and festive Latino menu specific for diabetics and stays healthy through the triangle of proper foods, exercise and medication. I hope she doesn't die early from beef tacos, wet burritos, or a late night knife fight like many overweight Latinos do.

Obama takes a closer look at his honorary Notre Dame law degree

Original artwork from my ND son who whipped this up on a drawing pad connected to his laptop. (I screwed up the cut and paste job, as his comic had the 4 panels in a row - which would not have fit on this blog). So in conclusion, he is an artist, a musician (guitar, cello, awesome vocals), a classroom prodigy, and a stud. He also doesn't like me bashing his school, although he never says so. He was arguing via Facebook chat with an old high school buddy the other day, talking out loud as he was hitting his keyboard keys with authority. "I dare anyone to sit in a mass on any given Sunday at my dorm and try to tell me Notre Dame isn't Catholic!"

He knows it's an imperfect institution, but is very protective of what's good about "her". I wouldn't want it any other way. After all, It's like-minded young people like my son who ultimately will make the necessary changes (not some old guy bitching on his blog every day :)

Notre Dame and the Church need a coup of the faithful

My wife called me on my cell as she was leaving work yesterday, and she was livid. "You won't believe the article (my boss) gave me at work today," she said. Mrs. DaBlade explained that when she read the first sentence and realized it was another "pro Obama at Notre Dame" piece, her blood pressure spiked. She immediately looked up at her boss and told him, "we can discuss this if you'd like." He declined, simply telling her that he just wanted her to read it. "If you gave me an article, I'd read it," he told her as he walked away from her desk.

This is not the first time my wife has become extremely upset after being attacked for her Catholic faith while at work. She is surrounded by big government liberals in love with everything Obama, and she is constantly needled by some for her defense of the church. From a particularly obnoxious A@@hole janitor, all the way up to the principal. She really tries to stay away from discussing politics, but they are constantly in her face and "poking sticks" at her for her Catholic conservative beliefs.

What makes this so sad is that she doesn't work at a Planned Parenthood abortion mill. She works in the administration office at the local Catholic High School.

Just like what has happened at Notre Dame - the teachers, staff and administration at my catholic alma-mater has become infiltrated, diluted and deluded with leftist liberals holding beliefs anathema to the church. Catholiscm For Dummies. It makes us continually question why we actually pay for this.

The article that steemed her?
He Came, He Spoke, He Conquered

I especially loved the subtitle: THIS CATHOLIC'S (sic) VIEW. The "(sic)" is all mine. I assume it meant to say "secular" or "humanist" or "godless lib".

Don't waste your time reading the thing unless you're really bored (why else would you be here?). It's the same old drivel you've read elsewhere praising Obama for his Notre Dame speech. Somehow this author found Obama's speech "to be respectful of Catholic views." *gag* He quotes Obama crediting his community organizing in Chicago that brought him to Christ. *hurl* Here I thought that is was Chicago community organizing where Obama learned his brutal and ruthless political smear tactics. His community organizing skills inspired Bill Clinton to say that Obama had the "political instincts of a Chicago thug."

Sounding more like a preacher than a politician, he asked that we extend the "presumption of good faith" to those who disagree with us. "Because when we do that--when we open our hearts and our minds to those who may not think like we do or believe what we do--that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground." It is clear where he thinks this common ground can be on abortion, which he declared has "both moral and spiritual dimensions."

*steamy pile of excrement*

There is no "common ground" on abortion. There is only victory or defeat, and life is not winning. Obama's silver-forked-tongue rhetorical flourish espousing his desire to "reduce the number of abortions" is a thinly veiled attempt to rope-a-dope namby pamby CASINOs (Catholics As Stated In Name Only) like the ones at Notre Dame.

And like this author, who says: "...can we not all work together to reduce the number of abortions? The political reality is that abortion is not going to be made illegal anytime soon. Simply as an intermediate strategy pro-life people should join with Obama in doing everything possible to reduce the number of abortions. Not to do so is to put politics above the life of the unborn."

UN... FREAKIN'... BELIEVABLE! Yep, he said it. To not support Obama is to "put politics above the life of the unborn".

And my wife's boss gave her this presumably to support his position.

Blah, blah, blah, the rest of the article talks about abortion just being another issue on the same level as the economy and climate change. Moral equivalence is given between the purposeful desecration of God's Love through the use of surgical knives on "unwanted tissue masses" and "saving "God's creation from a changing climate."

Not where I come from.

disengage your external inertial dampeners

Dear Blog,
Today I took a morning cyber-science fiction journey in my mind after reading a Discover Magazine article titled, Will We Ever Travel Faster Than Light, a la Star Trek? For some reason I thought of the Steven Wright joke about headlights on a spaceship. This led to scientist Carl Sagan and comedian Steven Wright bellied up to a bar drinking beer and discussing time travel. Yes I know Sagan died in 1996, but we're talking time travel after all. I love the idea of these two, with their individual and distinct voices, in a buddy picture. Smart and Smarter? It is a few hours of my life that I will never get back... Or will I?

So please disengage your external inertial dampeners. Oh, and Maureen Dowd states that the following attributed quotes are mostly theirs, not hers.

SCENE: Wright and Sagan are gripping a beer while slouching on their bar stools. The ball game is on the TV set mounted next to the mirrored shelving of colorful bottles, while the bald barkeep is wiping down the countertop with a towel and listening to the drunks on the stools.
Carl Sagan: Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

Steven Wright: If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?"

Carl Sagan: The most bizarre aspect of traveling near the speed of light is that time slows down.

Steven Wright: I didn't know it then, but looking back, in hindsight, I realize that when I was younger I could see into the future. Now I'm getting all my premonitions as flashbacks!

Carl Sagan: All clocks, mechanical and biological, tick more slowly near the speed of light. Point of fact, if one were to break the light speed barrier, they theoretically could travel backwards in time! I don't have to tell you about the dangers of the grandfather paradox!

Steven Wright: My grandfather gave me a watch. It doesn't have any hands or numbers. He says it's very accurate. I asked him what time it was. You can guess what he told me.

Carl Sagan: If we could travel at the speed of light, we would age more slowly than those we left behind.

Steven Wright: Four years ago... No, it was yesterday...

Carl Sagan: What do you make of Stephen Hawking's chronological protection conjecture, which holds that the laws of physics disallow time machines?

Steven Wright: Right now I'm having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Carl Sagan: Finally! Here comes Al Einstein and Bill Nye, the Science Guy. What took you fellas so long?

Bill Nye TSG: Al just discovered that relativity theory space and time are the same thing because he keeps showing up three miles late for his meetings.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE - CODEPINK protests Obama's visit to Notre Dame

In the "ALTERNATE UNIVERSE" department, I ask, "What if the ultra-wacko gals from CODEPINKO finally realized the hypocrisy of their militant anti-war (especially in the defense of this country) and pro-abortion (advocating unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand).

Notre Dame's invitation to Pro-infanticide president Obama has resulted in a constant stream of demonstrators getting arrested. The latest batch of protesters in defense of human life finding themselves "cuffed and roughed" were ladies from the pro-life group CODEPINK.

The CODEPINK ladies carried a lengthy sign that read "WE WILL NOT RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO KILL ANOTHER MOTHER'S CHILD".


When asked for clarification as to the meaning of this message, the spokeslady for the group stated, "It used to mean that our children would never become soldiers in the defense of this country under any circumstances, and that we would have been 'tickled pink' if our sons instead had become gay Miss America judges who threw hissy fits at conservative babes. Now that our pyschotic out-of-control progesterone levels have been brought under control, we now realize what a horror the so-called 'pro-choice' movement really is. So when we say, 'WE WILL NOT RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO KILL ANOTHER MOTHER'S CHILD,' it refers to our refusal to allow our children to grow up to become abortion doctors in this obamanation.

Only slight changes necessary for CODEPINK to come over from the dark side.

"Arise then...women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! From the bosom of a devastated Earth mother and child, a voice goes up with Our own. It says: Disarm! Disarm! LIFE! LIFE!"— Julia Ward Howe, Mother's Day Proclamation, 1870 Chattering Teeth, ND Commencement Day Proclamation, 2009

This Mother's Day Commencement Day, we held our second 24-hour vigil in front of the White House Golden Dome, where we honored all mothers and women who live where war abortions are happening— where women and their babies are paying the price with their bodies, loved ones, homes, future. We wanted to recognize the price they pay and honor their courage and power, by standing with them in solidarity to not only tell their important stories but to model what women-centered community looks and acts like.

We continued our call for our troops Obama to GO come home from Afghanistan and Iraq Notre Dame so that no more mothers will suffer the unbearable grief of losing a child to these wars Godless Liberals. And with your help, we have also sent a message of sorrow, friendship and peace directly to the women suffering in occupation from the democrat party and their families.

Transcript of Obama’s WHCD Speech from an Alternate Universe Where He’s Capable of Making Fun of Himself and Not Just Taking Thinly Veiled Shots at His Detractors

Successful entrepreneurs told by Obama, "No franchise for you!"

PICTURED: Joe Biden asks Obama a question while lunching recently at a Ray's Burger Hell: "Mister president, are you finished with the Jesse Jackson's fried nuts?"


In other, totally unrelated news...
Between GM and Chrysler, over 2,300 U.S. auto dealers have been given a pink slip and an Obama swift kick.
The unprecedented closures under the direction of the Obama administration put an estimated 100,000 jobs at risk and showed the economic pain from the collapse of the two Detroit-based automakers.

Ripples to be felt by this? More like a riptide through the economy, sucking many many more jobs out to into the Obamasea.

RUSH: It is a crying shame what is happening to the US automobile industry. I mean, this really makes sense, doesn't it? Here, we're going to save the automobile industry. We're going to get rid of 4,000 dealerships, making the cars invisible and hard to find and we're gonna cut our advertising budgets in half, that's right. And that's really going to help us sell cars. A tragedy, is what it is.

Chattering Teeth Exclusive!
Obama now moves on to "save" the hamburger industry by forcing the closure of McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, and all other burger joints not named Ray's Hell Burger. It is unclear what the plans are for the existing inventories of patties at these franchises. I'm sure the SOBOTUS will think of something.

So now I have to travel 10 hours to the nearest Ray's Hell Burger location for my fast food fix. What happens if I get the bag home from the 20-hour roundtrip only to discover I am missing the order of fries? That's a long drive to get my order serviced.

Skipping Commencements

Some Notre Dame Students to Forego Commencement in Protest of Obama Visit

Good for them.

I'm thankful that my son at Notre Dame doesn't graduate for a couple more years. Not just because I am in no hurry for the kids to "grow up", but because I would have hated to miss his graduation over that S.O.B. Obama giving the commencement address. Hey, I like that! The SOBOTUS. Maybe it's already been used before. The internets is a big and scary place, afterall. But if I indeed coined the phrase, everyone has my permission to use the term freely.

I remember several years ago there was a parade of some sorts down Main Street Davison, Michigan (hometown of Michael Moore, and current hometown of DaBlade). We always took the kids to the parades and secured a front curb seat for the candy. Anyway, here comes ultra-lib democrat Rose Bogardus, waving from the back seat of a car in the parade. As she approached, I simply stood up and turned my lawn chair around and sat back down with my backside to the street. After she passed, I stood and turned the chair forward again. It was clear to all (including Bogardus) what I thought of her. Maybe that's how I would handle the SOBOTUS graduation speech. Headphones and my backside.

HEY SCUMBAG!

When you spread the universe around, it's good for everybody

DARK ENERGY, it is theorized, produces a repulsive force in space and is causing the expansion rate of the universe to accelerate by 74.2 kilometers per second per megaparsec, which coincidentally is the same expansion rate of the U.S. deficit under Obama. Weird, huh?

What is the nature of this dark energy that is causing the total expansion of everything? The Hubble telescope just may be providing the answer.


The funniest (and saddest) thing I've read today (so far)
Barack Obama's Declaration of Dependence

White House jazz and hip-hop poetry slam

The first ever White House Poetry Slam will be hosted by the Obama's tonight. The featured performers include James Earl Jones, who happens to possess one of my very favorite voices.

"Luke, I am your father!"

"Simba! You deliberately disobeyed me!"

"People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door, innocent as children, longing for the past." - Field of Dreams

Sneak Preview of James Earl Jones' poetry slam


According to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, it is generally felt that Joe Biden has the most to gain from the Alphabet poem.

Oh, and some professional slam poet named Mayda Del Valle will be there, as well as jazz pianist ELEW. It is not known if Wanda Sykes will make a repeat performance of "Roses are red, Limbaugh's kidneys are blue". There could be surprise performances by Reverend Wright, with his ever popular "G-- D--- America" slam; and possibly Iran's own Mahmood Akmadeenadude, performing "Armageddon Thru To Jew?"

Maya Angelou is always good for a mish-mash of random words that are fawned over like they hold some cryptic deeper meaning. Sort of like Obama "hisself".
