There’s a question worth asking

The Corner on National Review Online
“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’
There’s an undeniable joy in seeing this particular bit of excrement hit the fan. I can still recall my grandfather, an FDR man to the core, utterly enraged over the WU antics. Being about 7 or 8, I had not Clue Numero Uno what he was on about, but it was not happy-time with him over the bomb-throwing pinkos. He was right, of course, and he’d be sick to death about Barry and his buds being the Lead Donkies.
I never could convince him, in later years, that FDR was the main enabler for the filthy hippies, but he lived through the Depression and I didn’t, so he trumped me pretty handily. I still owe that man a lot for what he taught me.

How long until some Obama supporter calls you a racist for this post?

I dropped my daughter off at Purdue to begin her education last week. While there I saw some other young man wearing a shirt that said “The hippies were right.” The neccesity of suppressing anything greater than saying, “No, they weren’t,” was they toughest thing I had to do all week.
It is, yet again, phenomenonally depressing to think that Bill Ayers is welcome in polite society rather than being tarred and feathered anytime he shows his face in a public he disdains and despises. He’s just another wannabe Stalin that our society was able to stop, if not destroy. Does anyone doubt he’d like to have Stalin-like power if only he could or that he would exercise that power in much the same way to make his omelettes?
I remember reading somewhere once that FDR said something along the lines that if he accomplished nothing else by being president at least he kept that SOB Huey Long from ever being president. He may well be correct that that may have been his greatest, if not most underappreciated, achievement.

Is it just me or do you think that FDR,JFK and LBJ(the hell with Carter) would even recognize the democratic party today.And another thing did you see where Obamey’s half brother lives in Kenya in 3rd world hell. You think he could send him a couple of bucks to last him for the year.
Maybe it is just me.
