I don’t want to judge before all the evidence is in, but I think I’m on fairly safe ground when I suggest that President Obama may not be getting Karin McQuillan’s vote come November.
Probably because she’s some class of racist.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows.

I love it that there is a prominent advertisement for “re-elect Obama 2012″ Tee shirts, with free shipping, next to this article. Probably won’t get too many orders from this readership.
Obama, being neither black nor white, seems to be red.
Deep, bloody red.
Damn, SCDave, I missed those ads, they’ve rotated to conservative ones! (SOB!) I REALLY wanted one of those Obama Tee shirts…think if I called the WH switchboard they’d give me a steer?
If you were the offspring of the PM of one of our beloved allies “that GW Bush alienated”, you could get a $4.11 plastic model of Marine One from the WH gift shop, hand delivered by Michele herself.
The pendulum always swings, as pendulum do, unless and until people like this President and his Socialist/Communist fellow travelers deliberately block its ability to find its balance.
Anyone opposing the Onewhowun is clearly, and inarguably a raaaaacist. To save a bit of space I’ll simply list all the raaaaacists with few accompanying adjectives:
Lex
VX (but only between pulls of Barbancourt, and when not yelling at the LSU head coach)
Casey
Grizzled Coastie
xformed
SK1
ZipprSuitdSungod
Quartermaster
Spencer
Pixelkiller
Daryle
Jeff Gauch
Snake Eater
mojo
Mike Myers
Scott
PeterGunn
Chunk
Just This Guy
Mongo (convicted inabsentia)
and a cast of millions
I’m sure, even though he’s a Brit and doesn’t have a vote, and based on his posts here, that demonstrate his insensitivity, Hogday is one too. Goes double for Spaz too (since he’s an Aussie Navy pilot and this is a Naval Aviation blog)
I’ll throw in the Armorer, Boq, and BillT from the Castle to insure no one feels left out either.
And, NO, I ain’t voting for the Obamunist, no how no way! (and if you don’t like it, I’m already on the list above).
See ya at the “re-education” camps!
Damn it. I made the list.
Well, it’ll be fun to all be together and here lex tell it in person.
I’d pay real money to be there with you all.
Glad to be on the list….still have my McCain for President stickers on the back of my pickup truck in blue-state Massachusetts.
OMG…..Obama Must Go
I dunno if it would be a good idea for “them” to put all of us into one camp. See Stalag Luft III or Colditz.
Anyway, dibs on a top bunk!
Butch,
We’re going to need all those bed slats for the escape tunnel walls in Stalag Luft Lex.
I think we have enough smart erudite guys here to organize educational lectures in the camps. You know, to keep our minds exercised in between digging sessions.
*raising hand* Yup, according to your definition, here’s one… That would be me…
Thanks, QM. You honor me by including me in that list of rowdy,but right (in more than one sense) thinkers.
Geez, QM. I’m hurt you left me out. I was calling the guy an empty shirt 4 years ago. After 3 years of the self-serving boob-in-chief and that is about a civil an adhominum as I can muster.
I use the acronym SCOAMF: Stuttering Cluster Fark of A Miserable Failure. Though in light of his “recess” appointments, I’ve seen SCOAMT: replace failure with Tyrant.
Deeply soorry Sahib! I used a thread with a lot of posts for the list, and you weren’t there, alas. I assure you, however, that we will share the same re-education camp when the Obamunists come for us. We talk about Tanking while we are there, conspiring for our great escape.
Where IS Mongo? I miss him.
QM,
If I was a lib, my feeling would be hurt at being left out. Hmm, you drew a line in the sand I’m going to step over. I’ll start to crank up the volume, rather than be in stealth mode. I was planning on being free to spring y’all from outside the wire.
Please add me to the party. Wouldn’t want to miss Stalag Luft Lex, and the future tunnel diggn’ to freedom.
Hunh. None of the Lex wimmin on are this list of racists. Sheesh. Throw us on the list!
I don’t want to be on any lists lest they draw the attention of Big Sis, but, yeah, where’s the gals?
Bou, in support of you and your sisters, I’m dressing as a girly today. May even slip into a sari when me, Mrs HD and our friends go out for a `curry night` tonight.
Sorry Bou, the camps are segregated. You’ll be with the rest of the Lex babes in another part of the Arctic tundra.
Dang QM! What am I, chopped liver???
I feel slighted….
Flugelman, I’m widja. Admittedly I might be considered an irregular here, and elsewise.
Flugel is an irregular too, just as everyone else on the list. Some are more irregular than others.
JTG, for example.
Hey, I resemble that remark! Just because I can’t afford that costly imported rum, is it?
Or is it because I bought an orange shirt to wear on St. Paddy’s Day; or a Quantrill t-shirt to wear to a Friends Meeting; or that it’s all I can do to refrain from (just in fun) suggesting the Pastor carry his sword up the aisle tomorrow night when the Archbishop (a Tutsi) is presiding?
Sometimes I think you normals have no sense of humor. Buncha monkeys.
Wha? Wha..? It’s okay. I’ll get over it. I’m just angry, and a little bit hurt.
Zane, due to your geographical location, albeit temporary,you’re accidentally in my group; The HYBRAB’s (Honorary Yank But Really A Brit), although I am lumped in with SPAZ, but that’s cool for me as I have an Aussie cousin and love the place – its where I go for a fix of `Non PC Bonza blokes`. You’ll have to produce your passport again for full membership. This is what happens when Homeland Security take over immigration supervision. Damn Yankees.
Sir, on behalf of my remaining sane (non-yankee) countrymen, I humbly beg your pardon and assure you I had nothing to do with that.
Please read “Albion’s Seed”, by David Hackett Fischer. It will explain what we started out to be here, when we cut loose from you folks.
I’d like to thank the Academy and Mr. Spielberg for this great…oh wait, wrong speech. Here it is…What are you trying to do to me? Don’t you realize that I work in the belly of the beast? Now there’s a mob of angry Greenwich Villagers outside my office waving their Papered Chef spatulas at and chanting “Crudites for the People!”
Here’s a little voice from a desolate corner of the blogsphere: The Rosistance discussing the AFA debacle, back in 2009….and some toehr thoughts around there…that person should be part of the list.
Oooh, I’m an “extra”…cool, maybe I can sneak out the side door before the “Night Watch” arrives.
/glances around nervously
Ah there Quartermaster. You caught me out as a “non” Obama voter. I’ll give you max points for perception. I just don’t quite know where I fell off the Obama wagon but it’s been a long time gone. A character flaw on my part–or so my San Francisco based friends and relatives would claim.
But I can live with the horror of it all.
That article is Brutal.
Oh, and QM? Put me down on that list, too.
Me, too.
Your name is on the Minto camp list.
“Probably because she’s some kind of racist.”
CAREFUL, LEX! I didn’t want to mention it on the Country Music post in deference to the solemnity of the subject, but the MERE MENTION that one likes C&W is almost guaranteed to get you on the wrong kind of lists due to the OBVIOUSLY inherent racism of C&W adherents (God, guns, veterans, patriotism and love of the Flag, etc, you, know, the usual standard suspect traits)..tread lightly my friend; “Eagle-Eye”* big brother is now monitoring the blogosphere for Aunt Janet.
*http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1059786/
Karin really buzzed the tower on that that one.
Buzzed the tower and broke windows…
very good article..
And the moron the tower inside, who was oblivious and lacked “SA,” has coffee all over them…2x! When we he every learn?
Well Quartermaster, I suspect that you might be a bit racist yourself, you obviously have something against Marines, and I can assure you, it isn’t easy being green!
Perhaps you thought I was an Obama fan because I rank him as number one. After all, you have to admire someone who was able to surpass Jimmy Carter as the absolute worst President.
I’m actually quite shocked that you would not include me among the usual suspects here on the porch. I do try to maintain the high standards that Lex sets for us all. Since I will yield to no one in my disdain for the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue I guess I will just have to start my own list topped by
One of the few, the proud,
Marine6
I’m Navy, Marine. Wadid you expect? Respect?
I guess we can grudgingly allow you into the camp since the Marines are part of the Navy. We wouldn’t want you to get lost or anything.
QM,
The Marines are a Department of the Navy all right, the Men’s Department.
Marines have always been considered somewhat strange and weird by the normal people. I mean that in a good way, being strange and weird myself, but of a different kind. I do believe their hearts are in the right place, though.
Besides, as a band nerd, I must affirm that John Philip Sousa’s hanging out with them, writing music for them, and leading their band, are all evidence that they are good folks. (Sousa did take a commission in the Navy, but it was a necessary wartime expedient and he only took a dollar a year for it.)
M=my
A=a$$
R=rides
I=in
N=Navy
E=equipment
That is so because we have to keep them from getting lost and help them keep all their toys together.
I admit that I harbored hopes that, despite all of the evidence, that he would moderate. He’d be more like Clinton than anyone else.
It was worse than I ever could’ve imagined. And my imagination is a pretty dim place when it comes to the worst possible scenario. I guess it’s a Coastie thing. Expect (and prepare for) the worst and hope for the best.
Now the country is broke (in all fairness, GWB helped here too). Oil prices are skyrocketing. And yet, this man-child’s idea of powering an industrial economy is green fantasies of wind mills and solar cells? If we were able to tap into the hot air coming out of his mouth, we’d have enough power to last several lifetimes. He speaks in generalities that sound good to the uneducated dullard and the empty-headed, arrogant socialist, but mean nothing.
His foreign policy has turned Egypt into another Iran. We never cleaned up Carter’s mess in Iran and now we’ve lost the rest of the Middle East thanks to the so-called “Arab Spring.” Trading friendly dictators for Islamic fundamentalist dictators who hate our guts is not what I call a positive development. I’ve been to Egypt, served in the Sinai, and let me tell you, the lid is about to blow off that place. It reminded me of a pressure cooker about to go and that was many moons ago. Many moons and many frosty adult beverages ago. The consequences of his stupidity (or malevolence) will be felt for many years to come. We will spill blood because of this. Trust me.
I saw his “energy” ad and my blood started to boil. All the ad cited were the usual Leftist fellow-travelers like commoncause.org (of course they’re going to say he’s not corrupt) and the ultra-liberal Brookings Institute. Green economy? Green jobs? Yeah, if you artificially going to jack up the price of cheap energy, you’re creating a market that we’re all going to have to pay through the nose for. Not like that concerns him a bit. His electric bill will be paid for the rest of his life. Must be nice.
This column summed up exactly why this man is so dangerous. His first term has nearly crippled this country. Now he and his minions want to finish the job.
Not that Mitt Romney would be any better. He invented Obamacare, remember? He ran to the left of Teddy Kennedy. He’s a silver-spoon, blow-dried empty suit who has never gotten his hands dirty. He has no core principles, like Newt Gingrich. He’s an elastic bowl of jelly and that’s dangerous. We need real leadership and this is the best the GOP can do? Sometimes I wonder, are they throwing the game on purpose?
I’m hurt.
As a lurker, one time zoomie, militiaman, on ALL of big sis’s lists, and a Kali CCW, [not easy], I would like to play with the big kids.
‘Sides, who got into the booz locker the last time Lex went TDY? Huh?
I think I can safely say that Kris in New England, Bou and I are hurt that we were not included on The List. I can recall that back in 2008, we joined the fray about Mr. O being “an empty suit” whose Portuguese Water Dog knows far more than he does about our country. And likes it better too. I recall about a month ago I saw a headline on the ‘Net that said, “He has made everything worse.”
Sort of sums it up, doesn’t it?
Marianne
+1 (p.s. Marianne, I so adore you.)
Marianne, I’ve sent your complaint to a British Member of Parliament. Don’t watch this space
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/8996425/Diane-Abbott-forced-to-apologise-in-racism-row-after-claiming-White-people-love-playing-divide-and-rule.html
Marianne,
I’m here too on a regular basis. Four to a girls hut sounds about right.
You gals are going to need a chaperone…
QM; I guess I haven’t been an effective enough communicator here. I’ll have to step up my game, huh? From another viewpoint, I long for the days when being called a racist actually meant someone was wrong, not merely exercising their 1st Amendment rights…
She nailed it… with this crowd. But don’t fool yourselves. This is going to be a close run thing in November. There is 40-45% on each side that is locked in and will never sway.
The unions are more powerful than they have been in years, and they’ll be all in.
He could still win this thing, and imagine what an unmitigated disaster a second term would be.
I disagree the unions are more powerful than ever. They are – what – 8% of the workforce? I fail to see how that would make them “powerful”. Now, back when the unions were 33% of the workforce, that was powerful.
I do agree with a close run thing come November. It tickles me a bit to go to 270towin.com and move states around from Red to Blue etc to see what all comes about.
The CW says the election will fall on these states: Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and New Hampshire. Most likely whomever picks up two out of the three of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida will be president. Some pundits are scoring it as two out of three for PA, FL, and VA.
Here’s where Romney would have a good chance at screwing up the NE base of the Dems, as Romney would most likely carry MA, NH, and perhaps VT. That’s 18 EV in an election that may end up being 270 – 268 for the winner. As neat as it sounds, depending on how NE District 2 goes, there is a potential for a 269 269 tie in the EC, and all the attendant mess that would come afterwards.
If Ron Paul runs on his own that will increase Obama’s chance of a 2nd term.
In many ways the 2012 election is going to be interesting, as in how Wash defined “interesting” in terms of landing Serenity at the start of said movie.
I seriously doubt Mittens will carry MA, or VT. Those two states can only be said to be insane.
As for Romney, I will quote Ronald Reagan:
“My 80% friend is not my 20% enemy.”
Sometimes when you play the race card, you get slapped.
Masterful performance. Unfortunately, it comes with a dark side that I just can’t live with.
All you’z guyz with hurt feelin’s for not being mentioned need to understand the implied complement.
It wouldn’t be polite to have placed you on a list run of the mill haters. You’re in a dif’runt league entirely.
I always liked the other half-Luo better. You know, “Baldilocks” of the eponymous blog? Her Dad actually came over in the same airplane as the O-hole’s Dad. Unlike The Won, she did not cross her fingers behind her back when swearing The Oath, and is an honorably retired Sergeant of the USAF.
Not only that, she has organized a school in the hometown of Barry’s Dad, to educate the kids there about whom Mr. Soetero doesn’t seem to care a fig, despite statements to the contrary.
On this very blog back in 2008 I mentioned that we had a retired crazy USN Captain running against a criminal anti-American half-Luo.
The obvious thing to do, I wrote at the time, was to run a ticket composed of a non-crazy retired USN Captain (you know who) and a virtuous patriotic-American half-Luo (she of the very short haircut). Sadly, I never got any phone calls, or even door-knocks, about that from any political movers and shakers. If those Beltway types would just pay attention to me…
What is a “half Lou”?
That’s “half-Luo.” The Luos and the Kikuyus are the two main ethnic groups in Kenya, and have been duking it out there for longer than I have been alive, seeking to find out who gets to dominate. Obama’s Daddy was a Luo, and Jomo Kenyatta, for instance, was a Kikuyu. Obama’s Dad was involved in some African-style electioneering before he left there, I believe. That might be why he had to leave there.
Speaking of which, I get to meet His Grace, my Archbishop, Saturday night. He is a Tutsi. He had to leave Rwanda quickly to avoid African electioneering, manifested in that case by the Hutus imitating that great Polish composer and pianist, Choppin. (sp?)
I guess the Hutus were just Raciss!, or something? I’ll tell the world it doesn’t take much of an ethnic difference for any sort of human to start that kind of piano music over the slightest perceived group difference. As the British Sergeant said in August, 1914:
“Remember, Men! Wogs begin at Calais!!
I am not a racist.
I hate self-serving incompetence.
Ergo, I am a *hater*.
There’s a difference.
I hate with equitable equanimity.
I am too weird to be much of a racist. E.g., I don’t get along with my own family even as well as I do with random strangers of whatever race, and my family are more genetically similar to me than anybody else. I tend to view all of you monkey-folks with equal disdain and derision. This is one of the features of having a touch of autitude.
I wish I didn’t have to put up with the bugs, though. The two most salient bugs seem to be the not-getting-laid bug, and the not-getting-hired bug.
