Isn't it ironic...
Isn't it ironic that:
1) Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Raven's Ray Lewis - suspect in a murder trial in 2000 - and father of six children with four different women - declares himself to be a "Christian? thanks the Lord for the opportunity to play in the Super Bowl victory.? Yet, was Lewis ever put under the scrutiny that Tim Tebow - also a Christian, (lacking the notorious background of Lewis) suffered at the hands of the media and the usual anti-religious crowd? Was Lewis made fun of the way Tebow was? No. Why not? Could there be a racist element at play here?
2) Obama and his Administration, famous for going after "waterboarding" as some sort of horrific torture device which needed to be done away with to protect the "rights" of terrorists, now want to institute a plan in which Americans who may or may not be terrorists can be killed by drones. OK. I get it. It's NOT OK to use "enhanced interrogation techniques" against known terrorists, but it IS OK just to kill people - including Americans - who may or may not be terrorists?
3) No one can criticize First Queen Michelle Obama's large derrière, but it is OK for Ms. Obama to dictate to school cafeterias across the country what they can and cannot serve to students in order for the students to "be healthy."
4) So Beyonce (BFF of Obama) has to lip-synch the national anthem at her buddies recent coronation, yet she can belt out her own tunes at the Super Bowl halftime show??? What's up with that? Oh, I do suppose that like Obama, she probably could have cared less about The Star-Spangled Banner and what it means, when her own hits are much more important to the uninformed masses...
5) The Obama administration that is so busy right now clamping down on the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens had no problem giving guns to members of Mexican drug cartels with reckless abandon. The guns passed along to criminals during Obama's "Fast and Furious" operation have been used to kill innocent people who got in the way of the Mexican drug wars AND an American ATF agent. Strange how little is reported anymore about the "Fast and Furious" operation, yet we heard on a daily basis how the rights of the law-abiding American citizens must be curtailed when it comes to guns...
6) The Democrats are famous for trying to legislate and create laws pertaining to every little aspect of people's daily lives, yet when it comes to enforcing such laws and punishing criminals in the process, what happens? Well, Dems are pretty soft on crime to begin with, and do tend to side with the criminals in many cases rather than the victims. So what good are all the laws on this and that anyhow if they are not enforced?
And last but not least - isn't it ironic:
How "affordable" health care for all (aka: Obamacare) is going to be so darn unaffordable?!?!?!

Another source of irony from Obamais his lack of diversity of cabinet appointees: All White Males.
If only we could have a compassionate, open minded president that wasn't afraid to step outside of the good old boy network and invite all ethnicities and sexes to participate in his administration.
Remember the "big tent" of George W?

doesn't think George Walker Bush saying in his 2003 state of the union address that Iraq
is aiding al-Qaeda is him linking Iraq to 9/11 to justify his made up war.... Now that is
ironic and as bobby Jindal says "stupid"

For the record: Here is his State of the Union address in January 2003 where W says that Sadaam "aids and protects terrorists, including members of AlQaeda." True Statement:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/onpolitics/transcripts/bushtext_012803.html
Remember that about a month earlier he ordered the months long investigation into the specifics of Iraq's involvement in terrorism and 9/11:
http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/about/president.htm
That report was not done until July of 2003 and one clear statement in it is "Some Undeniable Truths: Saddam's regime first and foremost was a skilled user of terrorism to intimidate Iraqis and eliminate any opponents, real and imaginary.":
http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/hearing3/witness_yaphe.htm
The irony here is that when a Bush statement is proven to be wrong 7 months after it was made due to fallable intelligence reports, the Left calls it a lie. When Obama, Hillary and Rice know the facts and mislead, or state absolute falsehoods at odds with what they know to be true, the left and the media give them a pass.
Try to bring your comments up to something from the current decade and on topic please.

P4P: SIGH!!! Enough with the George W. Bush. Besides, Bush did NOT say the 9/11 terrorists were aided and/or linked to Iraq. Bush mentioned al-Queda, Hussein, and terrorists in general. He never specifically said that that 9/11 terrorists - the actual terrorists responsible for 9/11 - were aided and/or helped by Hussein or Iraq.
Enough already. You are wrong. You owe me an apology. I will not expect one. However, any future comments from you on the subject - which has NOTHING to do with my blog topic - will be seen as an attempt to hijack my blog - and will be deleted. So, I suggest you take a deep breath, accept defeat, and move on...

but the truth is that he did not ! Now since the o lied wehen will you hold him in
contempt ? lol... Just like all ! Yes ALL Dumocrats you are so blinded to the truth that
you assume yourself correct even when proven to you ! lol...

The report did demonstrate the disconnects between intelligence agencies in the US and abroad. It also specifically called out the long-standing use and sponsoprship of terrorism by Iraq in the years leading up to 9/11 and the well known terrorist training camps in Iraq that many AlQaeda members received training in.
Newsflash: It turns out that Lincoln really did not care that much about freeing the slaves and JFK cheated on Jackie. I.E: Please turn your calendar ahead 10 years and try to be relevant to a current topic.

Now, enough about GWB, terrorists, Hussein, Iraq...This blog post is NOT about Bush not lying about Iraq and the 9/11 terrorists, and how P4P is sadly wrong and refuses to apologize.
Please keep comments on the blog topic - or even close!!! That would be greatly appreciated and would be in keeping with the Discussion Guidelines!

Sesenbrenner says: "Obama, lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself."
True statement and somewhat delicately phrased way of calling out her hypocrisy and he is blasted for being a "Racist" and "Sexist" : http://www.theprogressiveprofessor.com/?p=20624
However, Biden says this about Barack: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
About as blatantly racist as it gets (outside of "put y'all back in chains") And he gets a pass after he says he was taken out of context.

I do not think there is anything inappropriate about your comments.
P4P: What part of "enough" don't you understand? Comment on the blog topic, or don't comment at all.

And it is ironic how Queen Michelle loves dictating to the masses what students in public schools can and cannot eat. All the while she and Barry O dine on Wagyu beef ($100 a pound - yes, you read that right!) and toast with Cristal champagne ($400 a bottle) while hangin' with JayZee and Beyonce. Fist bumps all around! Yeah! The King and Queen livin' the high life while pretending to be "really, really concerned" about the "middle class." Then Queen Michelle tells schools to give students smaller portions of meats and lots of vegetables they don't like or want, and nix the good stuff like potato chips. No wonder many students in lunch rooms revolted and brown bagged it.
It's akin to, as you referenced earlier, Barry "the smoker" Obama - with his nasty cigarette habit - forcing the "little people" who smoke to pay more - a lot more - for their health care premiums (another little added cost in Obamacare that many didn't see comin')...

1) Are you complaining that there hasn't been scrutiny of Lewis' alleged involvement in murder or that there hasn't been scrutiny of his faith? There has been scrutiny on the murder side, although not enough. Regarding his faith, Tebow makes a big show of his faith. To my knowledge, Lewis isn't.
2) Yup, that's fair. There needs to be some sort of oversight at a minimum, although I saw a very good point the other day that we don't wring our hands about the federal government killing American citizens during the Civil War. Killing enemy combatants is going to happen. The question is how to do so while minimizing harm to bystanders and our own troops. Also, who decides and what constitutes an imminent threat.
4) If she screws up her own song, she screwed up her own song. If she screws up the National Anthem, she ruined the inauguration and hates America.
5) The report about Fast and Furious reads like it was a botched operation at the field office level, without broader approval. And until you start arguing that the 2nd Amendment gives you the right to purchase a nuclear weapon (that's an armament), we're in agreement that it's not an unlimited right. Now it's a question of where to draw the line.

Obamacare taxes the poor to benefit the rich. oh the irony.

Peter123: Actually, Lewis was said to have had more of a role in the murders that occurred in 2000. He managed to skate away with just an "obstruction" charge. Could that be because he was a football player? (ala O.J. - by the way, is O.J. still "looking for the real killers" of Nicoe Simpson and her friend?)... The irony I was pointing out is that here is a man with lots of skeletons in his closet, declaring himself a Christian to anyone who will listen. No one pokes fun, ridicules, or berates him for doing so. Yet, Tim Tebow - a devout Christian lacking the skeletons in the closet, is fodder for the lefties/anti-religious crowd. Why is that? Isn't that ironic? A potential accessory to murder/dirty player who professes his faith is granted immunity from persecution for his religious beliefs, yet an all-around good guy like Tim Tebow who professes his faith is eaten alive by the media/lefties/anti-religious crowd. As in the world of Obama and the left, what is good is bad and what is bad is good.
Not sure about your remark about the "federal government killing American citizens during the Civil War..."
