It Came On A Monday

... or something.


On Saturday morning, Mitt Romney announced that Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan would be his running mate.


As of now, the knives are out for him. It may be worse than Palin-gate.


"Lock and load, Mr. Ryan. The zombies don't get your comprehensive plans."


Let's clear the air a little.


Paul Ryan did not share Obama's affluent background. Yes, Mr. Ryan may be white but so was Obama's communist mother and the last time I checked, it was no crime to be pale of face. Unless you're a rabid Catholic-hating fossil, it is also no crime in belonging to the Church Christ instituted, even in still-Puritan America. The thorn in the side of the math-less Democrats who know they cannot run on Obama's abysmal trillion dollar debt/massive unemployment record is Medicare. Paul Ryan's plan, meticulously written, would actually salvage it, not ruin it for Nanna, as oft-claimed:


Essentially all of the criticisms of the Ryan-Wyden(-Romney) proposal ignore its innovative combination of defined-contribution and defined-benefit insurance — directing themselves instead to older versions of the premium-support idea — and ignore the fact that it would leave all current seniors and near-retirees untouched ...

The Democrats continuing to make such charges either do not know about the difference between Ryan-Wyden and past premium-support ideas or are knowingly lying. And those who argue that “Medicare as we know it” is the alternative to the Ryan-Wyden proposal are also either ignoring or denying reality. The fact is that Obamacare cuts Medicare by $700 billion over its first ten years to fund other programs and imposes a board of price controllers — the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) — over Medicare to cut costs in ways that (particularly by driving providers out of the business of serving Medicare patients through inadequate payment rates) would reduce the access of both current and future seniors to care. And without further reforms, the Medicare program will soon run out of funds in ways that would either require dramatic benefit cuts or would drive the government bankrupt.


What will cuts of seven hundred billion do to Nanna?



BCF is the bulldog of blogging journalism. He's a blog-dog. He's great at this, is my point:


The following e-mail came from a discussion held in the Toronto Shia Community Forum. The discussion was about the apology the East End End Madrassah would issue in light of my having exposed the Blood Libels found in its curriculum. Most "congregants" participating in the forum vehemently opposed it considering the apology to "Jews" a blot on the Shi'iat community. The Toronto Shia community are the organizers of Al-Quds Day, the rally is condoned by the McGuinty Government.

From the e-mail: "Let me tell you the real mentality of these people. They want to completely destroy Islam, that is why they created Israel."


These are crazy homeless people in Islamist wrappings. As dangerous, deluded, victimhood-crazy and intolerant as they are, they are still the ideological equivalent of the mentally ill transients the militant left embrace because they think they will deal with the "Christian problem". If only the left will realise that there will be days that they will miss those Christians who paid taxes they didn't want to pay and never lobbed rocks at them.


There is no point in denying that one truly is not frightened of this people, hence the blind support. If some ragged homeless fellow started screaming out this nonsense, you'd whip a quarter at him and turn the other way.


Sadly, these crazy people are not above wife-beating or throwing people off of buildings.


I would like to know what amount of insanity, violence or cousin-marrying will be the line in the sand for the elected among us. Is it too much to ask that the above Islamists be ridiculed and side-lined, if not excluded, from society so that the sane, even in the ummah, don't have cower and wonder when it will all hit the fan?



And now, draw a shark... just in time for Shark Week.



(With thanks to one and many)
