A week where we learned that the demigod of the left, JFK, blazed a path for future President William Jefferson Clinton by sleeping with his own 19-year-old intern. Camelot's cruel ruse is truly no more.
The past week saw popular wartime president George 'Dubya' Bush ostracized for doing what all presidents have always done since FDR, with no exceptions: He used the backdrop of American military prowess to celebrate his presidency, in this case one of the U.S. Navy's leviathan aircraft carriers.
Methinks ye Dems protest too much, apparently misplacing that page in their political playbook, since Clinton did the same thing in the late 1990s.
It's a week that saw the Alamo move north, too … well, sort of, anyway. Dozens of Democratic members of the Texas State House of Representatives are “holding out” in Oklahoma, avoiding the REAL Texas Rangers (no 7th inning stretch, home runs or hotdogs). The pride of the Yellow Rose of Texas is attempting to serve arrest warrants for dereliction of duty.
Where is Generalizado Antonio López de Santa Anna when he's really needed?
It was a week where our 'FRIENDS' the Saudis are now ID'ing the remains of another 19 smoldering terrorist bodies. Nineteen predominantly al-Qaeda fellow Saudis, all accused of blowing up another building with Americans and other foreign nationals in it, though this time in Riyadh. Does the number 19 sound familiar?
Yes, quite a week. But are you ready for the shocker that's next? And please, sit down prior to reading this one.
Former National Organization for Women (NOW) President Patricia Ireland is taking over as head of the YWCA. Yes, you read this correctly, the Young Women's CHRISTIAN Association.
Known for years as a leader in pro-abortion and pro-homosexual activism, Ms. Ireland promises to turn her new organizational play toy into a feminist political tour de force.
At a recent press conference, Ms. Ireland was asked the most unlikely of all possible questions in this post-investigative age of the fourth estate (media): "Ms. Ireland, are you a Christian?"
She stammered in a way quite unlike the ilk of a Steinem, Michelman or Ireland. She was dumbfounded, unable even to feign profundity. Though she trembled verbally, in the end she did manage to circumvent the reporter, as you would expect.
Too bad, as we inquiring minds really wanted to know if she subscribes to that organization's founding creed.
Ireland as president of the YWCA, eh? In an attempt to raise young Christian women, who better to model the virtues of Christian womanhood than a pro-abortion, pro-lesbian socialist?
Reflecting on history's analogous role models, we've managed to do worse ... such as that jolly old Adolf fellow who ran Germany in the '30s and '40s. He inspired a generation of brown-shirted young National Socialists in the Hitler Youth Corps.
Certainly they must have exemplified many of the values of the fatherland, as does Ms. Ireland. Patricia would no doubt have approved of the extermination of millions. HEY, don't be so offended. What exactly would you call the 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade?
Another role model extraordinaire: Saloth Sar, born on May 19, 1928, in what was then French Indochina. He adopted Pol Pot as his nom de guerre in 1976, the year he was appointed prime minister of “Democratic Kampuchea.” From 1975 to 1979, Pol Pot and his murderous minions transformed Cambodia into the ghastly killing fields where scores of skulls and bones are still being unearthed today.
Pol Pot's million-plus murders was nothing compared to the silent scream heralded by the NOW gang, who in concert with NARAL now lay claim to the souls of more than a generation of never-to-be-born Americans.
You may have asked, why Patricia Ireland? Why, in previous generations, did the board of directors of the YWCA not recruit other monsters of their respective cultures such as Ivan the Terrible, Papa Doc Duvalier, Idi Amin, Mao Tse-tung, Nicolae Ceausescu, Saddam Hussein or Joseph Stalin?
The comparison's a little rough, you say? OK, but still ... imagine Patricia Ireland, the new president and therefore role model, of the Young Women's CHRISTIAN Association ... remarkable.
The YWCA should not have moved to Ireland.
