I
posted yesterday about President Obama skiping the "Salute to Heroes" Inaugural Ball. Some on the interwebs linked to my post (which I linked from Ace of Spades, who linked from This Ain't Hell) and some libtards were upset with what I posted. I have one thing to say to those libtards upset with either what I posted, or what was linked:
Suck it.
George W. Bush put up with eight years of crap from you idiots on the left, now it's our turn.
As is typical, the libs fail to address the substance of the post: Obama skipped an inaugural Ball no other President has skipped in it's 56 year history. The libs point out (just as I did in my post) that Obama did attend the Commander in Chief's Ball where he was appropriately saluted as the new CIC. Is it nitpicking by those of us on the right making hay about him skipping this Ball? Arguably it is, I admit that. However, the greater point is: One of the CiC's chief duties is honoring and upholding military tradition. Honoring this nations wounded warrriors (Purple Heart awardees) as well as those who have received the nation's highest military honor (the Medal of Honor) is not to be relegated as a secondary or "non-official" attendance for the CiC. That Obama didn't attend speaks to the man certainly, but the outcry of publicizing the fact he didn't attend this Ball speaks more to the intrinsic dislike and hatred of the military and its traditions by Obama supporters.
Obama was sure to attend other "non-mandatory" Balls, those populated with celebrities and big dollar donors, so the "non-mandatory" angle doesn't hold up under scrutiny. He made it to the "Neighborhood Ball" -
a first of its kind and one of the balls open to the public, was the first of 10 official balls that the Obamas were scheduled to attend. Why is it that a ball which has been around almost sixty years isn't "official", yet a brand new Ball is? Hmmm, interesting.
I also enjoy the failure to address the substance of the post yet point out my blog "is right wing". Duh! Really? You're a sharp little libtard aren't you? What gave it away? That my blog is part of Townhall or that I criticized your Messiah? In this new era of unity and inclusion I suppose any opinion even considered mildly or remotely objectionable (not "right" as it were) isn't worthy of a hearing? This is the same tactic used by global warming followers attempting to stifle debate, "You're not a 'scientist' so what you say in refutation to our dogma science is irrelevant..." But the pre-eminent and credentailed climatologist Al Gore can say whatever he wants. Try again losers!
The simple fact of the matter is, I'm not going to carry myself "above board". The liberals and the Left in this nation did NOTHING for eight years but excoriate and criticize everything Bush, the "Right Wing" or Republicans did or didn't do, no matter how trivial or nonsensical it was.
A saying about "payback" comes to mind...
