Sooo... Let me get this straight...

While union thugs in Wisconsin who don't want to contribute to their own retirement like you and I must truck in clueless students to protest for them, state police are sent out to track down AWOL leftist Dems to do their jobs. An independent reporter even finds one at a resort in Illinois:



Meanwhile, Michael Moore Tweets that Madison is the 'new Cairo', and Jimmy Carter tells us that the Muslim Brotherhood is really not that bad:



Its just another day...

Who is John Gault?

Can't you just hear the sound of leftist heads popping already?

If I Wasn't Clueless:

Instant Death

I live a stone's throw from Dayton. I find it incomprehensible that something like this could go on for so long and so close to home!

From this source:

DAYTON — Two Dayton residents have been accused of keeping a elementary-school aged girl locked in an apartment for six years, letting her out only to go to school.

Brian G. Hart, 50, and his wife Rivae L. Hart, 49, have been in the Montgomery County Jail since Jan. 27. They were indicted Feb. 4 on charges of kidnapping — a first degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison — and third-degree felony child endangering, punishable by up to five years in prison.

“There’s no viable explanation,” said Dayton Sgt. Larry Tolpin.

A common pleas judge set a $50,000 bond for both Harts on Tuesday, Feb. 8.

The girl, now 9, is the biological maternal granddaughter of Rivae Hart. The Harts were legal guardians of the girl and her 8-year-old brother since 2004, said Ann Stevens, spokesperson for Montgomery County Job and Family Services.

Four children lived at the family’s apartment at 4825 Hassan Circle, including the victim, her brother, and the Harts’ two biological sons, who are 12 and 14, Stevens said. All of those children are in foster care, she said.

The girl told a school nurse about her captivity, and the nurse contacted children services, Tolpin said.

Stevens said children services opened a case on Jan. 18. She said the girl was singled out for the treatment.

Tolpin said the girl was locked in a bathroom, barricaded behind two dressers, from the time she came up from school until the time she left again the next morning.

“Meals were inconsistent at best and basically the living conditions were deplorable,” Tolpin said.

The girl slept on a fold-up cot with a blanket but no pillow, Tolpin said.

The Harts told police that they started locking up the girl when she started exhibiting behavioral problems at age 3, Tolpin said.

However, a psychologist examined the girl back then and said her actions were normal for a 3-year-old, though the Harts disagreed, Tolpin said.

The Harts gave statements to police that corroborated key parts of the girl’s story, Tolpin said.

The girl is in the fourth grade and her development is normal Tolpin said. Earlier this month, a common pleas judge ruled she was competent to testify before the grand jury.

Apparently, the girl confided with some adults when she was in the first grade, but nothing happened, so she had a distrust toward adults, Tolpin said.

She was even locked in during weekends, Tolpin said. She would be allowed out of the bathroom during special occasions, such as when relatives were visiting, but police believe the last time was at Christmas 2007, Tolpin said.

The Harts have little history with the criminal justice system, according to records in Dayton Municipal Court and Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

There was an investigation in 1998 after their then-2-year-old biological son arrived at Children’s Medical Center with seizures and minor bruising. The Harts told police that they believed the bruising came from a dog leash the boy liked to play with, according to the police report.

Tolpin said the Harts were never charged in that situation. The boy had developmental and physical disabilities that might have resulted in those injuries, he said.

This is beyond belief. I find it unfathomable that family would not know about this, that the girl in question slipped through the cracks so many times, that a sibling presented to a medical facility with signs of abuse, ect... And we must assume that the PARENTS were so shitty that the shitty GRANDPARENTS were given these children to abuse for over half a decade?

I don't know what to say. Thanks, Progs!

WHISKEY-TANGO-FOXTROT

First let me just say that I am against 'artistic renditions' of the National Anthem. Sing it like it is written; this song is not a podium to further your career upon.

That hacks me off.

THIS hacks me off more:




DID YOU CATCH THAT?!?

I don't know where to begin.

This socialist regime that is the Obama administration is actively betraying us and our allies, and it's bold and with impunity.

Links:

While Iran's Khamenei calls for the 'zionist' Egyptian government to be replaced with a Islamist theocracy, Muslims use the rioting as an excuse to murder Christians and Israel understands that it cannot count on America in a time of crisis, we have Napolitano meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood and most insane of all, Obama selling out our ally Britain for a few scraps from the Russians.

And that's just what Obama is doing abroad, let alone here at home...

Unreal.

I, for one, am no one's grammy. I have been otherwise occupied from blogging with a father who was wrecked into and sustained a broken collarbone, three kids who haven't had much school due to ice storms, my own work schedule, ect.

Whew.

Video Roundup

I've got a couple more twelve hour shifts complete with picking up kids from Granny's house, ect... So here's a video roundup for you all.

Kick ass, Klavan!



Also, Pat Condell kicks leftist and Muslim ass again:




And now for something completely different...

 This is really cool, but I don't know about calling these walking sculptures children or animals. That's just absurd.

WWRD?

I don't know about you, but I'm getting quite sick of the left invoking Reagan's name to make themselves more appealing come election time, especially on this day, the anniversary of the tragic Challenger explosion and Reagan's ensuing speech. 

It seems that TIME is cashing in on Reagan's memory to prop up Obama. The February cover this year will feature Reagan warmly patting Obama on the back. It seems like just yesterday that they would not hesitate to diss Reagan as a doddering, mentally addled fool.

How things change when your president likely has no hope of being re-elected.

Oh, Irony.

I'll let you simmer on the irony of this pic, comment bubble aside:

Kucinich Plays the Litigation Lottery

Cue The X-Files theme: Moonbat Democrat Dennis Kucinich is suing the fiscal failure that is the Congressional Cafeteria for $150,000 after supposedly biting into a sandwich containing an olive pit in April, 2008.

The poor Democratic Congressman alleges that he has "sustained serious and permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures, and has sustained other damages as well, including significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment."

Funny, I suffer from significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment every time Kucinich opens his mouth...

I propose that Kucinich is probably getting the you and I to pay for dental work that he might have had done anyway. Or maybe the aliens put the olive pit there and he couldn't figure out how to sue them. Who knows?

Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work.

Odumber, Embarrassment or Red?

Check this out. 

I can't figure it. Obama is either the most stupid, incompetent president in our nation's history, or he is as red as they come.

It is inconceivable to me that NO ONE bothered vetting what the pianist was going to perform, so I tend to lean more to the latter. I wonder if Obama and his ilk were laughing up their sleeves the whole time?

That no one 'noticed' at a time when tensions are so high with the Norks is even more of an embarrassment.

Speaking of Chinese and Obama, how do you like this bit of socialistic legislation reeking of ObamaCare?

I am all for organ donation; I am a donor myself. I figure if something catastrophic happens I won't be using it anyway and someone else may as well... But that is MY CHOICE. To assume is just wrong. What do you think?
