THE VICE PRESIDENT BY WHICH ALL OTHER VICE PRESIDENTS SHOULD BE MEASURED...

 

 

I've always been a very big fan of former Vice President Dick Cheney. I think it safe to say that the individual currently serving as our vice president rests quite comfortably at the opposite end of the spectrum in every meaningful way. I've always had a great deal of respect for him, viewing him as someone who's a straight shooter and a guy willing to tell you what's on his mind, if you ask his opinion, with very little, if any, sugarcoating. Or, just way it should be. And he’s also a guy not prone to exaggeration or distortion of the facts at hand. So when he said this past Saturday night that Barry "Almighty" has jeopardized U.S. national security by nominating substandard candidates for key cabinet posts and by degrading the U.S. military, I believe him. "The performance now of Barack Obama as he staffs up the national security team for the second term is dismal," Cheney said in comments to about 300 members of the Wyoming Republican Party. But let's be serious, when your gene pool is as shallow as it is for the Democrat Party, it's difficult to find candidates who are worthy, and who are actually up to the task at hand. And when they do go looking outside of their ranks, they tend to gravitate toward those who think like they do.

 

Mr. Cheney, a Wyoming native, said it was vital to the nation’s national security that "good folks" hold such positions as secretary of state, CIA director and secretary of defense. Speaking of Barry, he said, "Frankly, what he has appointed are second-rate people." John Kerry-Heinz, the failed 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, has now been confirmed as secretary of state and has officially reported for duty. God help us. CIA designate John Brennan, who is rumored to be a Muslim plant, and defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, the hater of Israel, are both still awaiting U.S. Senate confirmation. Wyoming’s two U.S. senators, Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, actually voted for Kerry-Heinz’s confirmation. Cheney said Hagel, a former Nebraska U.S. senator, was chosen for no other reason than because Barry "wants to have a Republican that he can use to take the heat for what he plans to do to the Department of Defense." He said Barry’s plans are to allow severe cuts in U.S. defense spending, which would limit the capability of the U.S. military to respond to future foreign crises well after Barry has left office. "He is today … establishing what limitations will be on future presidents," Cheney said. And you know, you just couldn't say it any clearer than that.

 

Mr. Cheney made note of the fact that the security situation in the Middle East and North Africa has worsened considerably under Barry’s watch and Iran continues to make progress, pretty much unabated, in it effort to actively pursue it's desire to possess nuclear weapons. And he also pointed out that turmoil continues to escalate in Egypt, Syria, Mali and elsewhere. "That part of the world is as dangerous now as it has ever been," he said. The Obama administration’s response has been to pull back U.S. military presence and influence, resulting in rising mistrust of the U.S. from allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, he said. Despite Barry’s re-election victory, Cheney said he hopes Republicans can revive their political fortunes by holding to conservative principles. "I believe we’re all going to pull together, work hard, dig in and do what needs to be done," he said. I pray that he's right! And while I’ve always liked to think of myself as being a glass-is-half-full kinda guy, these days I'm having a rather difficult time remaining as confident and as optimistic as Mr. Cheney appears to be. I wish I could be confident that there are enough of those on our side who are actually willing to hold to those conservative principles that he mentioned. But I just don’t see enough proof that that’s the case.



VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY'S SPEECH AT THE HUDSON INSTITUTE...

Mr. Cheney's speech begins at about the 51 minute mark.  He is the standard by which all vice presidents should be measured, and makes all the more obvious the fact that our current vice president is a complete and utter moron.

DICK CHENEY, THE GUY LIBERALS STILL LOVE TO HATE…

I've often wondered what it is about those people, liberals, who profess to be so caring when it comes to all issues regarding their fellow man, that makes them some of the most hate filled individuals on the entire planet. The intensity of the hate and anger that these people are apparently consumed, is the source for some of the most toxic rhetoric imaginable. And this hate is always directed at individuals for no other reason than because of a differing political opinion on any number of issues. So then, I suppose, that it come as no surprise then that there has been a national chorus of Cheney-bashing over the ex-vice president’s heart transplant, with many of those on the left gleefully weighing in, and disgusting Republicans and political observers who say the uncivil liberal Twitterfest is ... heartless.



To identify just how far down into the toilet our society has now gotten, one need look no further than the flood of internet vitriol coming from all manner of pathetic liberal scumbags and aimed squarely at former Vice President, Dick Cheney. Examples that make the claim that he didn’t deserve a heart, jokes that he never had one and even cynical hopes that the transplanted heart will reject its new host. “It’s a shame the political discourse has deteriorated to the point where people’s health is treated callously,” said former state Sen. Richard Tisei, who is running for Congress against U.S. Rep John Tierney. “I think people in general would like to see the political tone raised to a higher level.” Not much chance of that happening anytime soon. It’s typical behavior for Democrats.


“That’s disgraceful,” Boston College political science professor Marc Landy said about the attacks, saying Cheney wasn’t the nation’s most-loved political leader, but “he is a man of tremendous integrity and talent.” “You’d like to think people would be more restrained in their remarks,” said state House Minority Leader Brad Jones. “He just had the surgery yesterday. I assume there are still certain risks.” Jones added that while liberals often claim the moral high ground, “more often they take the moral quicksand.” Let's face it, liberals are some of, if the most, hypocritical people on the planet. It's always their way or the highway, and if you fail to see that then you suck. They see themselves being morally superior, which is kind of ironic since they possess absolutely no morals.


In Herald online comments, reader Dustycc53 remarked: “Wasted on a war criminal. Hey Dick how many kids did your lies kill? That's ok, hell can wait a little longer.” A website joked Cheney’s operation failed because “surgeons mistakenly transplanted the bleeding heart of a liberal” into the unflinchingly hawkish veep. “Damn. No more jokes about Cheney not having a pulse,” tweeted liberal blogger Dan Kennedy, a Northeastern University assistant professor. “Cheney’s only remaining medical problem is no reflection when he looks in the mirror.” He added defensively later, “Hey, it’s a great day for the Cheneys. Why shouldn’t we have some fun?” And thus we have the perfect example of the caliber of professors that are currently teaching our kids on a majority of our college campuses.


Others suggested Cheney bypassed normal transplant protocols. RightWingWatch MA tweeted, “#iloveobamacare because you shouldn’t have to be a rich former vice-president to get lifesaving care.” Is this not some of the most clever stuff you've ever heard? I'm mean it took some pretty significant brain power to actually dream some of this stuff up. I haven't heard such drivel since my days in the elementary school playground. Yesterday, doctors at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia declared the transplant operation a success. Experts said it’s unlikely Cheney could have used influence to get a heart. It's always been my understanding that these things were based on the severity of the patient's condition, and I have no reason to think that that was not the case here. But then, I'm not an unhinged Liberal.


U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s campaign declined to comment on Cheney’s recent surgery. However, his Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren stated: “I wish the former vice president a speedy recovery.” Sure she does. I'm sure that little comment was designed solely for public consumption. I'd be willing to bet that comments made behind closed doors are considerably different and a little more honest. Because that's how these people operate. We're supposed to think that they are all as pure as the wind driven snow and individuals with only the best of intentions. Sadly, nearly always just the opposite is true. They are some of the most vindictive, mean spirited and corrupt people that you'll ever meet. And it's like they naturally assume everyone is as sleazy as they are.


For the life of me, I simply cannot fathom how it is that someone can attain the level of hate that is possessed by a majority of liberals. Is it the way they were brought up? Does it stem from a stint in one of our institutions of "higher" learning? Or is it all about something as basic as they’re simply being jealous? What? I thought Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.com summed things up pretty accurately, I think, when he essentially dismissed the left’s online mean-spiritedness as a sign of weakness: “Barack Obama’s presidency is a failure and all they have left between now and the election is to get the base angry. So they’re spreading a lot of hatred. Hate is all they have left.” I think that’s a fairly accurate assessment of these folks and hits the nail pretty much right on the head.


And as much as these people try to deny it, they are quite comfortable operating from down in the gutter, and do their best to drag the rest of us down there with them. It's like they have nothing better to do than to sit around and dream up ever more inventive names to call those people who dare to disagree with them. Then they laugh and snicker, thinking that they are just so darn clever. But what they are, are a bunch of imbecilic juvenile delinquents who apparently have way too much time on their hands. And that's most likely because they get to sit around their place of residence all day long waiting for their next government check to arrive. Of course these malcontents always remain at the ready should their presence be required for some local union rally or some other form of cockamamie protest.
