The nice thing about giving liberals power over the military is it allows them to conduct social engineering experiments while devoting our defense resources to making PC statements:

First Lady Michelle Obama has agreed to sponsor a future submarine named after her home state that will be staffed by an all-female crew.

The USNS Illinois will cost about $2.7 billion. No word yet on the color scheme.

The Navy recently launched the USNS Cesar Chavez, but so far as I know, the crew isn’t all Mexican. I wonder what the makeup of the USNS Harvey Milk will be.

The more people know about Barack Hussein Obama, the less they like him — and we’re still relying largely on his probably ghostwritten autobiographies for information, since the establishment media that hyped him into office still refuses to look into his background. These days we know everything about everyone — except Obama. Ezra Levant wonders why:

Here’s what will likely happen if Obama is reelected, and the shock of grown-ups realizing that it will be another four years before a meaningful recovery can begin helps Ben Bernanke bring down the dollar:

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes has apologized for declaring that he feels “uncomfortable” calling American troops heroes. Now will he apologize for stealing his kooky colleague Rachel Maddow’s face?

  

Have these two ever been seen together?

Say they are separate people, and Madcow manages to get him pregnant. The offspring would perfectly personify the liberal elite.

Thank you, Louis Farrakhan, for saying out loud what most of your ideological compadres aren’t quite crazy enough to admit to thinking:

The oft controversial minister began by disparaging “White Mexicans” of Spanish decent before announcing that “Africans were in that part of the World [Mexico] maybe before [Mexicans] got there.” The minister lamented that illegal Mexicans are called “aliens” and declared that Americans “ought to be praising the Mexicans because we living on land that was once theirs.”

Farrakhan went on to declare that he was “sad that Mexico lost California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado” after the Mexican-American War “trickery.” This led to the minister generalizing about the American people as “a people that make war and blame the person they makin’ war on and then take your land.”

However, The minister sounded overjoyed that minority births outnumber white births in America, according to recent US Census reports. Given the news, Farrakhan noted that white people will soon “be the minority in their own country that they took from the native people.”

By “native people,” he means everyone except the hated white man, regardless of who came when from where. When whites do become a minority in the USA, life for our descendents will be nasty, brutish, and short. Yet our displacement from our country is evidently a policy of our government.

Despite the lifetime achievement award his church of 20 years bestowed upon Farrakhan for spewing this type of anti-Caucasian, anti-American rhetoric, it would be unfair to lump Barack Hussein Obama in with Farrakhan. Ideologically, there is a sliver of daylight between them. When he helped organize Calypso Louie’s Million Man March, Obama complained about the emphasis on self-reliance.

Would it make you sick to watch a loogie sliding down the Vietnam Veterans Memorial? Then shield your eyes from the Regime’s highly exploitative post-Memorial Day Picture of the Day:

Those names represent heroes who died fighting socialism, not crypto-Marxist weenies who prospered by ramming it down America’s throat.

Obama et al.’s strategy for turning Arizona into a blue state is hardly secret. They refuse to defend the border, prevent local authorities from enforcing immigration law, then bribe illegal immigrants with our money to colonize the Grand Canyon State. If it works, the proudly individualist land of Barry Goldwater will soon become a vast rotting ghetto of sniveling collectivist parasites. Obama is now applying a similar strategy to another place he doesn’t like — Israel, where the demographic conquest is coming from Africa:

Israel … has found itself being swamped by unwelcome African migrants who have poured over the border with Egypt… [T]hat tiny Israel should be considered the solution for African poverty is absurd. …

The Jewish tradition of caring for the homeless and the stranger has created a large degree of sympathy for the African migrants in Israel. But while it was possible for the country to take in the initial small numbers who found their way there, including those seeking political asylum, now that the rate is up to 1,000 new illegals a month, the situation has gotten out of hand. Israel simply hasn’t the ability to care for or employ that many people who have no ties to the place.

Of course it doesn’t; that’s why Obama is making the swamping of Israel by African immigrants a pet project:

In a highly disturbing piece of news over at Kr8 Israeli Patriot, the online magazine reports that the Obama administration is providing funds to Israel (via the UN) for every illegal African immigrant that enters the Jewish state.

US taxpayers are paying $1,000–$2,000 per illegal alien per month to displace the population of Israel with Africans.

Why isn’t Obama giving funds to help many of Israel’s Jewish Ethiopian community to settle in? These were refugees airlifted to Israel in several high profile operations and who still face difficulty getting used to a new way of life. Is this because they’re Jewish Mr. Obama?

After 20 years of soaking up the anti-Semitic rants of Jeremiah Wright, it’s likely that Obama isn’t fond of Jews.

Or is it because they’re not Muslims hell-bent on jihad?

At least Obama’s foreign policy will allow Israelis to experience the joys of multiculturalism on their way to oblivion.

While the rest of us honored America’s heroes yesterday, effete metrosexual Chris Hayes of MSNBC was issuing a sniveling apology for his Sunday proclamation that he feels “uncomfortable” using that term for bloodthirsty Christofascist jingoist homophobic oppressors of the righteously victimized because it is “rhetorically proximate” to saying it’s okay to fight America’s enemies.

Similarly, I feel uncomfortable calling members of the lib media “Americans.”

Not that long ago, lefties spat on troops returning from conflict. Now they duckspeak about rhetorical approximations and hide behind insincere apologies as soon as someone points out what vermin they are. Even liberals should have the courage of their convictions. But the moonbats at NBC News aren’t exactly heroes.

Despite counting such leading luminaries as Obama’s former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones in their ranks, 9/11 Truthers never did get to the bottom of how George W. Bush flew those planes into the World Trade Center. Maybe the new breed of Truthers will have better luck. Introducing Weiner Truthers:

New York congressman Anthony Weiner resigned in disgrace a full year ago, admitting to having sent lewd photos to female fans of his on Twitter.

But for one corner of the Internet, Weinergate is very much not over. A group of liberal bloggers believe that Anthony Weiner was blackmailed by Andrew Breitbart into a false confession, and are carrying out a lonely Twitter crusade to spread their theory — in spite of the fact that Weiner himself has never claimed this to be the case. …

A major locus of modern Weiner trutherism is BreitbartUnmasked.com, a site “dedicated to unmasking the underbelly of Andrew Breitbart and his crew of rogues, criminals, wannabe journalists, various right wing extremists and the religious intolerant,” per its “About Us” section.

Even from the beyond the grave, Breitbart drives them to distraction.

Hang in there, Weiner fans. If you just keep his name in the public mind, his contributions to Democrat morality will surely help Obama et al. in the fall.

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors wouldn’t resolve to take over from the Navy the responsibility for naming battleships so that one could be named after Harvey Milk, a peacenik moonbat whose main accomplishment was to be openly homosexual, without due consideration. Here is how one member came to make his weighty decision:

A San Francisco supervisor says he consulted a Ouija board before city leaders voted on whether to recommend naming a Navy ship after slain gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

Supervisor John Avalos tells the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/KnVnbu) that he believes he made contact with Milk’s spirit and that Milk spelled out letters indicating: “Good riddance to don’t ask, don’t tell.”

If only the decision-makers in DC had their feet planted this firmly on the ground.

San Fransicko bureauweenies might have settled for naming a street after Milk, but San Diego beat them to it. So they did the next most disgraceful thing by naming one after Nancy Pelosi instead.

Not every company is going to state the policy on its vehicles. But there is no doubt that Bill Looman isn’t the only employer just holding on tight, trying to survive until Obama is out of there:

Once Hopey Change is history, it will be safe to invest in employees again. If Obama loses, the recovery will begin before he even leaves office.
