Are the kids at your door on Halloween really monsters?

No of course not.

Just like Bruce Jenner will never be a woman no matter how elaborate a costume he wears.

If Jenner were wearing Black makeup and claiming to be African American everyone would be up in arms and rightly so. But why is a man pretending to be a woman any less offensive to women?

The science is clear; male and female DNA are very different.  A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man according to biology. To say otherwise is to reject science and invoke bizarre anti-scientific beliefs.

Clearly Jenner has a mental problem just like the guy who thinks he's Napoleon does. Jenner deserves our love and sympathy--he's got an illness not a moral defect-- but most importantly we need to be like the honest boy in the old story of the Emperors New Clothes and tell Jenner, and all other folks suffering from gender identity disorder, that he's a man.

There are things we can change about ourselves and there are things that we can't. We can lose weight, be kinder, drink less but we can't change our race, change our gender, or become a space alien.

To pretend otherwise is simply insane.  And if we love people with mental illnesses we don't tell them they're fine; we work to help bring them to the truth.

A shrink who told a patient who thought he was Napoleon that he should go out and rule France would be booted out of the profession post haste yet a shrink who tells a man that with some makeup, hair depletion, and plastic surgery he can become a woman is considered to be competent.

It's time we stop hurting those with gender identity confusion and start trying to help them be who they are.

Why Obama wants the Iranians to have the bomb

We now know that Hillary lined her pockets by giving Russia control over a lot of the worlds uranium.

If Iran builds a bomb they'll be buying lots of uranium from Russia and so the most likely option, :) , is that Obama is getting a cut of Hillary's commission.

So to line his post presidential nest egg Obama is enthused about Iran getting the bomb since Obama will get royalties--I bet he likes that word--for years. And if he stays away from Israel--no sacrifice there--and the Iranians don't bomb LA or Hawaii it's win win for Obama.

I know this sounds insane but it's a lot more polite than Bill Clinton trying to blame Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City bombing.

The lie at the heart of liberalism; we care

Happy Easter!

Climate change we can believe in or not

Obama recently stated that he wants to end climate change building on his earlier pledge to stop the rise of the oceans.

King Canute would have been proud.

The latest reason that Obama wants to control the planet is supposedly that one of his daughters had an asthma attack when she was 4 years old.  While one can't help but sympathize with the fear he felt when his daughter said she couldn't breath it's not immediately obvious that one should assume that climate change is the cause.

In fact folks with asthma love to live near the water since ocean breezes tend to get rid of the pollen that causes asthma.  If global warming is going to raise the ocean levels and therefore make more coastline it would stand to reason that climate change is good for Obama's daughter.

But Obama didn't have to wait for the oceans to rise to help his daughters asthma; he could have--as Michelle Malkin pointed out--just stopped smoking.

While most second hand smoke scare stories are bogus people with asthma can be seriously bothered by second hand smoke.

Yet while we're now to believe that Obama was inspired by love of his daughter to crusade for destroying the middle class by driving energy costs through the roof he apparently didn't care enough to quit smoking then to protect his daughter--though he may have moved to smoking only out doors away from his daughter.

His daughter had the traumatic asthma attack when she was 4 years old which was 12 years ago. Yet Obama was still smoking in 2011 according to his doctor.  So even if we believe that Obama quit smoking when he said he did, in 2009, that means Obama continued smoking for years after he was supposedly traumatized by his daughters asthma attack.

Also it should be kept in mind that the earths temperature has been basically constant for 18 years.  Hence President's daughter hasn't experienced any global warming in her 16 year life.  That in turn means that it would be odd if her asthma resulted from climate change.

For the Presidents daughter the move from Chicago to D.C. was a far more drastic climate change than anything even the wildest warmist claims has occurred in the last 16 years.

All in all the only Obama related climate change we can believe in is that he's sensed that the political climate has changed and the peons don't care about fake climate change so he's got to make them think it's all about him so that they, out of their love for him, come to their senses and support destroying their lifestyles by supporting massive energy cost increases.

Iran; the real deal

The reality is that of this moment there is no deal.

No matter what Obama would like you to believe a framework for a deal is not a deal. If you doubt that ask yourself how many people move into a house that doesn't have solid walls only a framework.

That there is no deal means, as Jonah Goldberg has pointed out, that what Obama is exulting over is the fact that negotiations failed and he needs another extension.

That there is no deal is a good thing because it's clear that Obama wants Iran to go nuclear, as he backhandedly admitted in his NPR interview.  If you are dubious about that then why is Obama letting Iran keep a centrifuge facility buried under a mountain?  Generally speaking a disarmament treaty involves getting rid of military facilities but Obama seems to have found a new way. When you sign an arms limitation treaty with Obama you keep all your arms but you pinky swear to never ever use them in a bad way.

The question of course is why is Obama the only non-Iranian in the world who is not terrified by the thought of the mad mullahs who run Iran getting the Bomb?

Non-Iran Muslims are terrified. Even the ultra conservative Saudi's are planning to get their own Bomb if Iran is let free to develop "peaceful" nuclear weapons.  If the Saudi's are afraid of Iran and the Saudi's run Mecca can you imagine how the Israeli's must feel?

But Obama is serene. Why?

There are several answers including:

1) Obama may not be Muslim but he is very very much more sympathetic to Islam than to Christianity or Judaism so the idea of a powerful Iran running the the Middle East raises no hackles.

2) Obama is all about personal power and foreign policy is just a distraction from persecuting Christians who actually believe in their faith, routing taxpayer dollars to his rich cronies, and bringing in lots of foreigners to keep Black unemployment high and wages low.

3) Obama likes the idea of being the big cheese so if he can make Iran the top dog in the Middle East over the objections of every sane person it will boost his ego.

4) Obama is a narcissist who thinks that no one can't like him.  Therefore Iran would never ever use the Bomb against Obama's interests so what's to worry about?

Sadly they are all probably true.

Obama; TV villain?

How many times have we seen a TV or movie where the President or some other powerful politician misuses the law to punish someone who is standing up to them?

Is it life imitating art that while charges have been swirling around Democrat Senator Menendez for awhile he was only indicted after he opposed Obama on Iran or mere coincidence?

Who knows. The problem is there is so much politicization of the government under Obama, think the use of the IRS against Obama's political enemies, that the scenario is credible.

Rather sorry state for the country to be in.

It shows us the consequences of what might appear to be minor crimes. So what if the IRS targeted a few conservative groups? The answer of course is that once we see that the government is not of the people for the people and by the people but instead is of the Democrats, for the Democrats, and by the Democrats trust in anything the government says is lost.

Liberal leader is just liar mispelled

Harry Reid admits to lying about Romney's taxes and says it's ok since Obama won.

Obama lied about us being able to keep our insurance and our doctors.

Pro-Aborts lie about the fact the unborn are human beings.

Liberals lie about the unemployment rate; knowing that it's low only because so many have given up hope of finding a job.

Liberals lie about hands up don't shoot.

Liberals lie about rape on college campuses.

Liberals lie about caring about Blacks; with abortion the #1 cause of death of Blacks Obama says God bless Planned Parenthood.

Liberals lie about Global Warming...er Climate Change; the earth's temperature hasn't gone up in 18 years even though CO2 levels are steadily increasing.

Obama, Clinton, and Rice lied about a spontaneous riot against an American movie being the reason our ambassador to Libya was butchered.

Liberals lie about Trayvon Martin.

Liberals lie about the gay lifestyle; if the truth were out no one would support it.

Liberals lie about supporting free speech; they only support free speech for themselves

Liberals have to lie. If they told the truth no one would support them. Only by lying can they manage to get elected.

Note that many folks who vote liberal or who espouse liberal views are merely ignorant or guilty of trusting the lying liberal leaders. The average Joe or Jane liberal you'll meet at work or church often just believe the lies told by the liberal leaders like Obama or the MSM.
