Obama and Isis
11.29.15

This is kind of a follow-up to Obama being the Science Officer from the movie Alien like I talked about.

There was a funny piece in that satirical publication The Onion saying that John Kerry said that at least the Islamists had justification for the attacks on Charlie Hebdo.

Hang on. Lemme check . . . .

Nope. He really did say that. That's not so funny.

What an idiot. What a complete incompetent moronic idiot.

Okay, maybe you say "Wait a minute, Frank, the guy just misspoke and corrected himself right away." He said "They had justification. Oh, wait, I should say they had rationale."

That's correcting? That's like saying "Well, I said Albany, but I meant Syracuse." You shouldn't be anywhere in New York state at all. You should be talking about San Freaking Diego and you're wandering around in New York.

The guy wasn't "justified" in killing his wife, but you can see his "rationale." She did, after all, leave the lid off the sugar bowl.

What a freaking idiot. Actually, he is the perfect Secretary of State to represent this administration.

The movie Alien came out in, what, 1977? What I'm about to talk about is a total spoiler for the movie. So, I'm serious, don't read this if you haven't seen the movie and you plan to see it.

Or if you're like me and you'll forget everything I'm going to say by the time you do see it.

Nothing torques me off like someone ruining a movie for me with a spoiler.

I'm serious, if you don't want the plot of Alien ruined for you go watch it right this second and come back.

In the movie Alien a crew on a space freighter ends up on a planet way out in space and a group goes to inspect a wrecked ship. The group comes back with an alien attached to one of the astronauts.

Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is hesitant to let them in the ship because she doesn't know what the alien is attached to the guy's face. The Science Officer opens the airlock door and lets them in. Ripley gets mad at him, but he says "He probably would have died if I hadn't let him in." Fair enough.

The guy lays on a table in sick bay and the Science Officer can't figure out how to get the thing detached. Fair enough. It's a hard deal.

Then the creature falls off by itself and the guy is fine. He's joking and laughing and eating . . . until an alien pops out of his chest.

The alien is loose on the ship killing crew members, but the science officer can't figure out how to stop it. Ripley comes up with a plan and they are hunting it down and trying to kill it. She asks the Science Officer what he has figured out about its vulnerabilities. He says he's still "collating data."

Okay. Well, fair enough . . . I guess. It's a tough problem. Just seems like he's not getting much done. And his reasons are seeming more lame all the time.

Ripley goes to the main computer to see if she can get some help. She's locked out of some of the information. So she uses a bypass code and gets in. She finds out that the Science Officer has orders to bring back the alien for study. All other considerations are secondary. Then, just to make sure we get the point, the computer says (in bright green letters on a back screen like they were going to have in the future back in 1977) "CREW IS EXPENDABLE."

All of a sudden everything the science officer has done makes sense, from opening the airlock in the first place to his lame excuses about "collating data."

I watched that movie 30 years ago. A few weeks ago I watched it again with my son. I had forgotten most of the plot. I just remembered that it had been a great movie to freak out to.

A couple of days after I watched the movie Barack Hussein Obama (Protector of All that is Good in the Universe and Most Holy and Wise Leader and Savior of all Mankind) made his announcement about the Keystone XL Pipeline. He said he wasn't going to do it.

Nobody was surprised. He never considered it for a second. He just said he would think about it then went golfing until he figured enough time had gone by to announce that nothing that changed.

The thing is, the "reason" he gave made absolutely no sense whatsoever. None. It was really really lame.

"Ping!" In my mind I heard "Still collating data."

Barack Obama is the Science Officer. The crew is expendable; he has his agenda and he'll make a half-hearted effort at explaining some reason he's not doing what needs to be done. Typically it involves some recycling of the phrase "Who we are as Americans." But he is, after all, speaking to inferior beings who don't really matter and so he's just pretending and the reasons don't have to make sense.

Watch the movie. Listen to the speech. It's a freaking brilliant analogy . . . if I do say so myself.

Even better than the Keystone pipeline is ISIS. He is literally on their side. Iran doesn't want a Sunni leadership over there and he, for some reason, does Iran's bidding. It's not in his agenda to take out ISIS. It probably really irritates him that he has to pretend to be trying to.

But that lens brings it into focus. "Don't worry about them, they're the JV team. We know where they are but we don't attack them. We don't have a strategy. They're contained. Our strategy is working . . . " It's the science officer 'collating data' while the Alien is killing our crew.

Saying the agenda of the President of the United States is aligned with that of a terrorist organization sounds pretty radical. But it's not just invective. It really is that way. A lot more intelligent guys than me have done a lot better analyses of it. They've made a pretty solid case for the idea that he would prefer to have ISIS strong than gone. If you care about it you've already studied those. My role is just to point out: Barack Obama is the Science Officer from the movie "Alien."

Then read this article by Thomas Sowell explaining how to translate the crap you hear politicians say.

Then read this article helping Hillary explain her accomplishments and then this article, too.

You can't get more idiotic than Bernie Sanders. You just can't.

Wait, maybe college students. They are at least as stupid as Bernie Sanders. I don't even have the energy to comment on the poor little picked on Mizzou darlings. Wow. Complete freaking idiots.

Read this. I think this is the guy who said "This is the generation that will destroy America."

Then read this article saying maybe we'll respect you if you check yourself."

Widows and orphans

Wow. This really infuriates me. It shouldn't. I shouldn't even pay attention to what some moron celebrity says.

Just maddening how completely unfounded what he says is. Just absolutely ridiculous. It's like . . . I'm struggling to think of an analogy as stupid as his real-life statements. It just makes no sense.

It's like we're getting run down by a Sherman tank and he's ridiculing us for being afraid of horse-drawn carriages.

Okay, lame analogy, but whenever you're thinking about Barack Obama you just get stuck in lame.

He makes no secret of how he despises 50% of the people who make up the country he was elected President of.

Classic straw man. Textbook.

Isn't it funny that all the things that Obama tells me are my American values support his anti-American agenda?
