In one scene from the movie Braveheart, William Wallace is dreaming about his dead wife. She says to him, "Wake up, William. You must wake up." To which William replies, "I don't want to. I want to stay here with you.", which is exactly what I say to George and Thomas when I'm dreaming about America's founding.
Things could have been much different for Wallace's wife had there been a trustworthy media. But, Blarney Stone magazine decided not to cover the attempted rape of Wallace's wife because they were too busy defending themselves after they published a ludicrous rape story. And the town crier, William Bryan, could have rallied public support for Wallace's wife if he hadn't been suffering from PTSD following a catapult attack on the wagon he was riding in. The moral is: Without an honest and trustworthy media doing its job, things that shouldn't fall in the crapper do.
The media is raving about Obama's and Kerry's Carrot and Shtick diplomacy. Iran will be laughing all the way to a nuke.
What do you call The Five without Bob Beckel? The answer is: The Juan Williams Show. I never thought I'd put these words to virtual paper: I miss Bob Beckel! A relatively quiet, brooding Beckel beats a conversation hog like Williams any day of the week. Did you know there is only one topic Juan Williams won't touch? That is whether piping loud rock music into a terrorist's cell is torture. The reason is Juan Williams thinks the exact opposite of that, silence, is torture.
Obama will issue a fatwa (executive order) to close GITMO and all federal prisons before he leaves office. All Guantanamo terrorists and federal inmates from the 58 or 59 states will be released and pardoned. Obama said he visited 57 states, said he had 1 more to go, then said his campaign advisors wouldn't let him visit Alaska and Hawaii, so I don't know how many states there are. That's a mathematical nut I can't crack.
All these former prisoners will be given a home in Martha's Vineyard, a Maserati, and a credit card issued by the Federal Reserve. They can buy anything they want and pay for it with funny money.
You may think I'm joking, but why? This is what progressives do. People crossing our borders without an invite are just undocumented citizens and it should be mandatory that they vote. Mumia Abu-Jamal isn't a cop killer. He's a rock star. Michael Brown had his hands up. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, so reward Iran's ISIS-ish behavior with goodies to get them to the bargaining table.
My approach would be to spray the flies with sulfuric acid and don't worry about catching them.
Europeans paid the Barbary pirates (Muslims have been acting badly for a long, long time) a tribute so the pirates wouldn't attack the Europeans' ships and ransom their sailors. Progressive blonds should really consider paying a tribute to Marie Harf of the State Department because she's been holding their intelligence up for ransom. Of course, this could start a bidding war between progressive blonds, progressive brunettes and progressive redheads, each trying to get Marie not to choose their hair color. A conservative woman, taking a cue from Thomas Jefferson who just kicked the Barbary pirates's asses, would just shave Marie.
The State Department believes ISIS terrorists just need a jobs program to quell their violent tendencies. OK, but please don't give them the same jobs program Obama gave America. There will be so few shovel-ready jobs that the ISIS fighters will go back to chopping off heads with a vengeance.
