Elected Official Says Elections Shouldn't Matter

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had a message for the Republican majority last Friday.  I'm paraphrasing, here, but the message seems to be, don't listen to those boobs who voted for you.  "There's so many things at risk right now ... but the fact is is that elections shouldn't matter as much as they do, (there) should be some place on the spectrum where we respect each other's views and all the rest," she told the crowd at Tufts University.  I've been trying to dissect that for hours now...what the hell does she mean, "elections shouldn't matter as much as they do?"  Near as I can figure, it means, "elections only matter if Democrats win."  I think she believes that the Republican party has been hijacked by the Tea Party Movement, and she's not alone, but the Tea Party Movement will tell you that government in general has been hijacked by career politicians.  If she's saying that the Republican majority doesn't have a mandate from the people, I think she's wrong.  The message  from voters seemed pretty clear- "stop spending."  If Republicans fail to hear that message, then I think the new message will be, "you're fired."  Simple as that.  Then again, she also mentioned embracing our shared values, education, the economy, and defense.  I'm not convinced the former Speaker and I have a lot in common when it comes to those issues, and I doubt the freshman House members have much in common with her, either.  It sounds like she's calling for compromise...but compromise basically means, "you give us what we want and give your constituents the middle finger."  All of this "elections shouldn't matter" stuff is kind of weird coming from Democrats when you consider that when they won, we were told, "Elections have consequences."  I seem to remember very clearly that the Democrats claimed to have a mandate from the people in '06 and '08, and they basically told Republicans, "screw you, we won."  Maybe they've had a change of heart.  Now, it's "let's not get caught up in all of this 'democracy' stuff."  I know what you're going to say- "Compromise is important, Mr. Johnson!  Would you prefer gridlock, you red state red neck puke bag?"  Well, Lefty, there's a difference between coming to an accord and basically backhanding the people who put you in office.  Pelosi also said, "To my Republican friends, take back your party, so that it doesn't matter so much who wins the election..."   Wait- take it back from whom?  The voters?  Yeah, good idea, ignore the will of the people and just do whatever Nancy wants!  That'll get you places! I've got news for you, Lefty...the Tea Party Movement didn't hijack the Republican party.  What actually happened was Democrats ignored the voters and just did what ever the hell they wanted to...so they were voted out.  If the Republicans fail to deliver, then you Dems will probably get another whack at it.  Will elections matter then?

Tin Ear? It's Called "Resolve."

The Speaker of the Blouse is at it again. According to an article on breitbart.com, Speaker Pelosi accused the president of having selective hearing by saying he has a "tin ear." I suppose she's upset because the president refused to compromise, and I could understand that if we were talking about anything other than the war. In war, there can be no compromise, you either win or you lose. Compromise in warfare would be like saying, "hey, I tell you what, we'll only kill you on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you promise not to use soccer balls and baby dolls as bombs." Yeah, right. Wanna shake on it? Anyway, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gets it. "Look," he said, "we need to have a compromise if we want to get the job done before Memorial Day. We know how to get there. It's to take out the surrender date. Any kind of reasonable benchmarks on the Iraqi government I think are going to have broad bipartisan support. That's clearly the way to get there." You see? By "compromise," he means, "we get what we want, and you get hosed." I'm sick of hearing about compromise. We didn't compromise with Adolf Hitler. We didn't make a deal with Hirohito. We didn't "come to terms" with dictators the way the Speaker would like to do. No. We bombed them until they gave us an unconditional surrender. This is a problem for Pelosi, who says "when it comes to the war in Iraq, the president has a tin ear. He just cannot hear, except that which he wants to hear on it." That's because, Madame Speaker, he is the Commander in Chief of our armed services and he's trying to wage war on a deadly enemy! If she gets her way, all the enemy has to do is go underground, mark our surrender on their calenders, and wait. The president knows this, and, since it is his duty to win this war, he rejects any planned withdrawal date. That's not selective hearing, it's resolve. He refuses to lead by public opinion polls, and that's called having the courage of his convictions. I, for one, don't want a "deal." I want victory. Then again, my hearing's pretty bad, too.

Pelosi and the Logan Act of 1799

Speaker of the Blouse Nancy Pelosi cuddled up with some big-time scumbags this week despite the wishes of the President and was called "brave" by the Syrian dictators that support cowardly terrorists. I don't know about brave, but the word "bold" comes to mind. Now, it isn't at all unheard of for law makers to break the law, but it is pretty foolish, when in the middle of two wars, to ignore U.S. code that strictly prohibits such interference in international policy. Bold, indeed , is the word that comes to mind when the Speaker (or anyone else for that matter) feels herself to be so powerful, so untouchable, that she would circumvent the wishes of the president and the law of the land in order to appease the anti-war kooks on the far left. This makes her more of a rogue agent than a servant of the people, and it makes her a stooge for the very people that want us and the Israelis dead. While it's true that no one has ever been prosecuted under the Logan Act, this is very dangerous, and illegal, so pay attention. Here's the law, for those of you who don't know it:

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).

Now, this was passed into law in 1799, so before you start shouting things about freedom of speech and the constitution, you should know that this was passed by the Adams administration, the very people who wrote the constitution, so I think it's safe to assume they knew what they were doing. Historically, of course, this act was used mostly as a warning, a kind of strong-arm political "don't you dare," but in 1803, there was an indictment, and had it not been for the Louisiana Purchase, who's to say that one Kentucky Farmer might not have gone to prison under the act? I know, times have changed, but the law has not, and for good reason. This kind of "diplomacy" sends mixed messages to the enemy, and we can't have that.

Now, I'm not saying that the Speaker of the Blouse should be in jail right now with only dog food and water for sustenance. Three years is a long time, and I hear the dog food has poison in it these days. Besides, George Bush would never dare invoke the act. Still, instead of coming off of the plane looking like the cat that ate the canary, she should be hiding her shame under that ridiculous babushka. She has, like it or not, broken a federal law under the Logan act, and not so she could make nice with these killers and show them all how highly we think of ourselves, but to further her own political career. When our men and women are dying at the hands of terrorists, it is unconscionable to go and shake hands with and make phony promises to a nation that is a known enemy to ourselves and our allies. When you think about it, maybe three years and some dog food would clear her mind a little, huh?

Pelosi Endorsed By the Enemy

Well, Madame Speaker, you've done it. You've reversed the "Pinocchio Effect." He wanted to be a real boy, and apparently, you want to be a puppet. You win. I suppose it comes as no great shock to the nation that you have sided with the enemy, but it wouldn't hurt if you told us all why. Is it because you hate the president so much that you are willing to go out of your way to seek votes outside of your own country as a matter of protest? Do you believe that you can garner significant support from the terrorists to at least become the first " Madame Vice- President?" You have proven yourself to be a buffoon, a dupe, and you don't even know it. All your trip to the middle-east did was let the Arabs know that there are people out there who hate the Jews just enough to let the war smoulder so it can be forgotten about.
Khaled Al-Batch, of the Islamic Jihad, expressed hopes that she would continue winning elections, according to Worldnetdaily. Apparently, she understands the region better than President Bush, which, in Islamo-speak, means, we will KILL you if you don't do what we want. Read this quote carefully. "Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hammas' military wing in the Gaza Strip, said the willingness by some lawmakers to talk with Syria "is proof of the importance of the resistance against the U.S."
"The Americans know and understand they are losing in Iraq and the Middle East and that their only chance to survive is to reduce hostilities with Arab countries and with Islam. Islam is the new giant of the world." Again, from WND. Do you know what this means? The Arabs watch CNN, too. They know that there are a lot of people against the war, and they are biding their time. This is something that hasn't been said, but it's about time, and I hope you people are ready. It's sad, but true.
THIS IS A WAR AGAINST JEWS! It's not the first time, may not be the last time, but make no mistake, this is a war against Israel. The Speaker of the Blouse said she believes the road to Damascus is the road to peace, and all we have to do to get it is to make the Israelis give up the Golan Hieghts. And then something else, and something else, and so on and so forth, it will never end. What really saddens me is that a U.S. Representative like Nancy Pelosi would get into bed with these killers. The Democrats claim to be multi-cultural, but when it comes to Judaism, there is no one, other than Joe Lieberman, who is willing to take a stand. This is Important, America, so stay awake....the fate of Israel is our own. Doubt it not. When Terrorist groups like Hammas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad start siding with U.S. representatives, like Nancy Pelosi, who wish only to remove ourselves from an uncomfortable position, then you know who you must vote for. Terrorists favor Pelosi. Who will you support?
