The #grandmother meme…

In her latest NYT column, “Grandmama Mia!”, Maureen Dowd sums up the Hillary Clinton, America’s warm and cozy grandmother meme.  Another hard-nosed political strategy will begin unfolding today: the old dirty laundry washed away, the clinging to the White House curtains image air-brushed out, the cobwebs of old scandals swept away.  With baited breath the press gurgles with excitement wanting to see the redesigned Hillary, whom her handlers whisper will  visit the little people in their own homes, share their concerns and apple pie in this latest rebranding effort:

“It’s a do-or-die remodeling, like when you put a new stainless steel kitchen in a house that doesn’t sell.”

Hear ye, hear ye, She will announce today….

Oh my, the day we’ve all been waiting for has arrived  (*yawn).  Hark, her faithful handmaidens whispered to the fawning press, “She will announce today!”   Don’t expect her to be open and accessible, as the “I’m every woman” tour begins, with the queen snug behind her castle walls .  She will hide behind the parapets, eating her cake, while throwing crumbs to the peasantry and noisome dogs of the press, in small, intimate  (read “controlled”) settings, according to her handlers.  So, with this carefully crafted character remodel underway, forget the lies, forget the email server in her home, forget her Benghazi debacle, forget her work silencing the king of mendacity’s bimbo eruptions, forget that this new, humble, grandmotherly matriarch (read Princess Charlotte as stage prop), “listening” to small ordinary peasants is just another phoney ploy to avoid answering troubling questions about past misdeeds.  Instead of “God Save the Queen”, for America, we’re back to another tiresome monarchy and before long, those rebels will be talking about “liberty and justice” and dare I say, freedom from “her oppressive lies”.  Beware, any who speak out will be deemed, subversives and dangerous, tarred and feathered, as “part of some vast, right-wing conspiracy!”  Time for libertybelle (aka, mhere and susiehomemaker) to retreat and stitch another subversive counted cross-stitch project, lol, and for good measure maybe she’ll need to forgo politics and clandestinely work on her other long-neglected blog, https://susiehomemakerdishes.wordpress.com/.  One can never be too cautious when dealing with the queen (aka “the smartest woman in the world” and thatwitch2016)….

All in for “moderates”

Here’s a piece, “State Department Wanted to Engage ‘Moderate Jihadists’ in Libya“, by Patrick Poole over at PJMedia worth reading.  It’s from a few days ago – still timely though.  Poole always includes many links to back up his points, so check out those too.  The Obama administration far surpasses the Bush administration on willful ignorance about America’s enemies in the Muslim world, but this determined delusion persists that, “if” only we engage and recruit “moderates” among the rat nests of Islamist zealots, then this will provide the indigenous force multiplier we need to defeat the more violent practitioners of the religion of Peace.  Yep, our “experts” remain as indoctrinated as the enemy…

The new mob rule model

The news media, across the board, keeps trying to sell us on issues based on polls.  Today, we’re being told that the American people support a deal with Iran.  Now, what does that even mean?  First, “a deal” is a vague term, as evidenced that this “deal” on a “framework” has the Obama administration walking away with one understanding of the “deal” and the Iranians hitting the airwaves spouting a much different understanding.

Most Americans can’t even locate Iran on the map, have no clue about the ramifications of Iran acquiring a nuclear arsenal and quite frankly “most Americans” haven’t bothered to learn even the rudimentary facts about this situation to offer an opinion worth paying any attention to.  This is the problem with our entire culture – we’ve got a clueless citizenry that is easily led, we’ve got venal politicians who will lie, cheat, and say just about anything to remain in power and we’ve got a lazy, ignorant bunch of clowns masquerading as “professional journalists” who feed us meaningless drivel like this endless stream of poll numbers.   So, even though the vast majority of Americans know absolutely nothing about Iran or the deal, the President and his minions, thanks to pollsters and the gullible media, can proudly announce that the American people support a deal with Iran.

Government by popular opinion equates to the new mob rule model.  I await a politician to have the guts to stand up and say, “My stance on this issue IS NOT popular, but let me explain my principles and view of the issue.”
