Drunkblogging the Results

VodkaPundit Stephen Green is drunkblogging the election results to spare us from becoming physically ill if we try watching it ourselves on TV tonight.

Most Courageous

I saw the extremely moving story about Lauren Hill on ESPN last night and think she is braver and more gracious than most adults in her place would be. It's very fitting that she received the Pat Summitt Most Courageous Award but so unfair that such a life is being cut short.

Our History

Look at the exquisite POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews here and here.

No Victim

Read about the amazing woman who refuses to think of herself as a victim: Holocaust survivor: 'I did my best acting during the war - it deserved an Oscar';Ruth Posner, 84, is starring in a new play that tells the remarkable story of her escape from the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. 

The so-called victims of the phony "war on women" should read this and maybe learn something.

Had Enough?

In a scathing indictment of Obama and the Democrats titled Obama always pointing the finger of blame at someone else, Michael Goodwin writes:
"We are witnessing the total collapse of a bad idea. Obamaism, a quasi-socialist commitment to a more powerful government at home and an abdication of American leadership around the world, is being exposed as a historic calamity. It is fueling domestic fear and global disorder and may well lead to a world war...If there were any doubts the Obama Democrats cannot be trusted, look at their scurrilous campaigns. From coast to coast, their message is uniformly odious: Republicans are waging a 'war on women' and they are racists. That’s it. They can’t defend the legislation they passed, the economy they produced or the foreign policy they supported. Most don’t want to be seen with Obama, yet they take the money he raises and follow his lead in exploiting race and gender fault lines. Scraping the bottom of the rancid barrel, they prove they will do anything to hold on to power. They cannot be allowed to succeed. It is time for them to go."

Read the whole column and pass it on, especially to your friends who are somehow still undecided. The choice is clear.

Weekend Links

Sometimes you feel as if you're the only person who feels this way -- especially when you're surrounded and outnumbered by liberals. So it's always a relief to come across your own thoughts expressed by a good blogger. Doug Ross wonders how anyone can vote for the Democrats on Tuesday: "My stomach is in knots.  The country is polarized. It has been beaten and molded, frightened and cowed, herded into separate camps by something called the Democrat Party, which is less a political entity than it is an idolatrous religion. The Democrat Party has a single, fanatical goal: the destruction of America."

In a similar vein, Instapundit has this: "IT’S COME TO THIS: Hope and Change gives way to Fear and Loathing."

Here's Daniel Greenfield's Friday Afternoon Roundup - Going Mad.

"A Moral Duty to Vote Republican"

This is from Ben Stein's column at The American Spectator:  "Mr. Obama got his start on the national scene attacking Israel and defending the Palestinians. Mr. Obama has not the faintest idea of how fragile is Israel or how great its moral claims are. More, he does not care. Like all narcissists, he can spare very little love for anyone except himself.

But for the Obama White House to call Benjamin Netanyahu, by far the bravest leader of a free people on the planet, a 'chickens--t' and 'a coward' and to refuse to apologize is disgraceful.

To me, the words come from Mr. Obama’s friends of his youth in the Farrakhan movement in Chicago. Or maybe from his close friends in the Gulf States or his newest best friends, the Iranians. But to call the head of the government of one of our closest allies, our only ally with guts, barnyard epithets and refuse to apologize is simply sickening. He has never used words like this even for Al Qaeda or ISIS or the Al Nusra Front. Has he lost his mind?

For us Jews, and for many great Christians, Israel is sacred. For any of us who love America the most by far but also love Israel, Mr. Obama has cast himself out into the darkness not of the blacks, but of the black shirts. After what the Obama White House said and did, it is a moral duty for those who stand with Israel to vote Republican."

Watcher's Council

The Council has spoken! Here are the latest Watcher's Council winners, The Council winner is Joshuapundit's Chickensh*t, and the non-Council winner is Sultan Knish's The Left's Worst Crime in the Middle East.

The Weasel of the Week is CNN's Carol Costello! (I'm hoping that the weasel of next week is the entire Democratic party.)

Jackasses

This is why the Democrats are portrayed as jackasses!  Also, please keep talking about the "war on women", and keep calling Republicans racists who starve children. The more shrill and desperate you sound, the better for us. Let's hope that next Tuesday, the American people will show that they're not as stupid as the Dems think they are.

The REAL Meaning of Chickens**t

 

You have to see this for yourself: a despicable "cartoon" showing Netanyahu flying a plane into a tower. To make it even worse, this cartoon comes not from the Arab press but from Haaretz! The cartoonist's excuse is hard to believe: “It was certainly not my intention to insult or upset anyone. I wasn’t sufficiently aware of the great sensitivity that 9/11 holds for Americans.”
