THE TYGRRRR EXPRESS

Now onto the life and death struggle to save civilization from barbarism.

North Korea has engaged in an act of War against the United States of America.

President Obama appears to have no solution.

A pair of American citizens have been sentenced to 12 years in prison in North Korea after a kangaroo court convicted them.

Blaming the pair for visiting a dangerous area does not change the fact that visiting a bad neighborhood at night does not mean that the girl in the short skirt, the blak man in the white neighborhood, or the rich person in a bad part of town deserves to be subjected to violence. Bad judgment does not mean people deserve to die or face death.

These young women are being held against their will. Why is this happening?

Beause North Korea knows that they can do whatever they want without consequences. Barack Obama is seen as weak.

He wanted to repair our relationships with our allies, but all he has done is offend world leaders in France and Germany, as well as England. Europe has shifted sharply to the right because the left is seen as completely ineffectual with regards to keeping people safe.

President Obama said he would repair relationships. The problem is that diplomacy is notsupposed to be the end result. Jumping up and down and celebrating a meeting is not as important as what tangible actions come as a result of meetings.

Is it possible that the President has secret diplomacy going on, and we just do not see the results yet? Perhaps. However, these kidnappings are serious. Nothing less than them both returning home safely will be acceptable.

This is very serious. On issue after issue, our allies are rebuffing Mr. Obama and our enemies are getting bolder and bolder.

I annot imagine the North Koreans pulling a stunt like this with George W. Bush still in power.

Mr. Obama does not grasp that outside of a slice of the American electorate, the world is unimpressed with his platitudes. They want substance. All they are getting are professorial style lectures.

I have said over and over again that I bare no personal animus toward President Obama. I want him to keep us safe.

He is failing. Yes, it is early in the game. Yes, he has the ability to get substantive achievements. Yet right now it seems that the world is on fire, and he is fiddling. He can blame George W. Bush all he wants, but these women were kidnapped on M. Obama’s watch. This is his foreign policy crisis, and his alone.

Mr. Obama, I am not here to bash you. I just truly believe that your approach is not working. If I am proven wrong, I will issue a loud sigh of relief.

Mr. Obama, please…get these women home safely. Your job is to keep American citizens safe. North Korea engaged in an act of aggression toward America that can only be fairly described as war.

This is intolerable. I am not advocating military strikes, but do something sir.

The families of these two young women are watching.

So is the rest of the world, including our enemies.

Playboy is crashing so fast that people may mistake it for the Jayson Blair Times.

http://hotair.com/archives/2009/06/01/its-official-playboy-is-a-hate-site/

In an act of tastelessness and hatred, and yes, Ideological Bigotry, Playboy Magazine had decided to try and destroy innocent people.

Since the beginning of time, men and women have had “hot lists” where they rated the opposite sex. I myself put out an article entitled “The Top 120 Political Yummy Bouncies.”

https://tygrrrrexpress.com/2008/06/the-top-120-political-yummy-bouncies/

30 women were rated based on their bodies, or to be more specific, my perceptions of their bodies without ever seeing most of them in real life.

That may be sexist, and sophomoric, but there was no malice behind it.

Yet playboy published a list of women that they wanted to “hate-f*ck.”

The idea was that these women were pretty, but evil. The author hated their guts, and the hate-f*ck was a way of having his way and then hurting them. After all, we do not treat people we hate with kindness.

Another word in the real world for hate-f*ck is rape. There is nothing sexual about rape. Rape is a crime of violence, and I believe it should be added to the list of capital crimes. It is a form of killing. Rape destroys men and women.

It is one thing to fantasize and discuss people in a sexual manner, but to sleep with somebody while hating their guts? That is destructive for the aggressor and victim.

What made this so awful was that the author decided that he hated these women without having met them. Well I have met some of them. Amanda Carpenter and Mary Katharine Ham are lovely human beings. Mary Katharine Ham is very funny and easygoing. Amanda Carpenter is an overwhelmingly nice person. They are both dignified people that conduct themselves on television with class.

Michelle Malkin, who I have not met, is on the list. The woman is a devoted wife and mother to two children. She has had to move her house because of death threats. Why? Because she is a minority and a conservative, which triggers rage among the angry left.

I want to make it clear that all of these women were referenced in my Top 120 Political Yummy Bouncies column. Yet calling a woman “hot,” is not the same as defiling them.

Some on the left will try to claim that I spared them because I agree with them, and that I skewered the women of the left. This is also false.

Do I think Naomi Wolf, Norah O’Donnell, and other liberal women are hot? Sure. Would I have sex with them? If I were single and they were single, sure. Do I hate them? No. Of course not.

I became a blogger to combat ideological bigotry. The idea of wanting to sexually humiliate a woman out of misogyny is a sickeningly foreign concept to me.

This is a big deal to me because I do not want to get lumped in with the haters.

I know some women are offended by my discussing respected professional women in a sexual manner. I also know I will most likely keep doing it from time to time. I also know that if I ever hurt anybody’s feelings, I would be gratefully troubled by it.

There is a middle ground between raging feminism as practiced by the National Organization for Women and the raging anti- female hatred practiced by the disgusting writer behind the Playboy article.

Ironically, it is a woman destroying Playboy.

Hugh Hefner was about creating beauty and making money. His daughter Christie Hefner is a left wing ideologue that has donated money to fringe causes. Additionally, she has moved Playboy into the hard core pornography that Hugh Hefner did not want to associate with. In his mind, Playboy was high class while Hustler was low brow. Christie Hefner has made them indistinguishable.

I would condemn anybody that glorified violating Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, yet jokes about raping Laura Bush, Sarah Palin, and Condoleeza Rice go unpunished.

I am angry that sweet human beings like Mary Katharine Ham and Amanda Carpenter would have to be spoken about in this manner.

To the author of the Playboy article who I will not dignify by name, I have just one thing to say.

Go (hate) f*ck yourself.

On more than one occasion, I have mentioned that an ideal U.S. Supreme Court pick for Barack Obama would be a tri-racial Latino pygmy.

Mr. Obama had to settle for Sonia Sotomayor, who fills his main criteria of tokenism, activism, collectivism, and legislation through judicial fiat.

Ms. Sodomizer will be raping the Constitution as soon as she gets confirmed.

She has “empathy,” which means she is willing to ignore the law in favor of some politically correct form of favoritism.

If I were a minority right now, I would be celebrating, knowing that I could now break the windows of rich, white, store owners and steal everything, all in the name of fairness.

(Note to Jews: You are only minorities when it is a liability. You do not get the benefits of tokenism.)

Those on the left praising the selection of a Hispanic judge apparently forgot the Jihad they waged against Alberto Gonzalez and Miguel Estrada. Actually, forgive my being politically incorrect and calling it a Jihad. It was, to quote Justice Clarence Thomas, a “high-tech lynching.”

So what should a politically correct president do? Who is best qualified to fill the roll of multi-racial (tri-racial is soooo several lines ago) Latino pygmy and satisfy the various groups of beggars that make up the Demagoguic Party?

President Obama should nominate Gonzalez for the High Court.

No, not Alberto Gonzalez. Speedy Gonzalez.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedy_Gonzalez

Think about it. Speedy Gonzalez is Mexican.

More importantly, he belongs to the most oppressed minority group in the history of minorities.

Speedy Gonzalez is vertically challenged. I don’t care what color or religion you are. When you can fit into your locker room in junior high school, life is bad.

Speedy Gonzalez is so short that he makes pygmys seem like bigmes.

Yet Speedy Gonzalez is not just any mouse, or even any Mexican mouse for that matter. Speedy Gonzalez is the fastest mouse in all of Me-hee-co.

Justice moves so incredibly slowly. Anything that speeds up the process is an improvement. Who could make the system speedier than Speedy himself?

In fact, I have been researching some of Speedy’s decisions in various cartoons (One woman’s lazy boyfriend watching Cartoon Network instead of doing chores is another man’s intense research.). The legal reasoning is sound.

In fact, I could have sworn that Speedy said “Res Ipsa Loquitor” in one scene, but despite replaying the tape in slow motion and backwards while listening to Ozzy Osbourne, the girlfriend insisted that all Speedy said was “Andale Arriba.”

When you think about it (and God help those who do think about this stuff), the Supreme Court could come to more thoughtful conclusions if the Warner Brothers characters were on the high court.

Who is better to debate the constitutionality of the Minutemen at the border then Sylvester the Cat and Speedy? After all, Speedy is trying to get into the AJAX Cheese Company, and Sylvester does use some heavy-handed tactics. Are these tactics torture, or just coerced interrogation?

Also, Sylvester sets bombs to go off. This could lead to a thorough review of IEDs.

In addition to Sylvester, Speedy also grapples with Daffy Duck. Everybody knows that Daffy would make an outstanding Supreme Court Justice. He would also be a politically correct choice because he has a lisp. Rudy Giuliani has a lisp, and he would have turned his prosecutorial career into a judgeship had he not been busy saving the world like Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century.

Daffy brings a lifetime of criminal law experience to the bench. Who else but he could take down criminal mastermind Aardvark Ratnik?

Who else but he could rule on the constitutionality of wealth redistribution. After all, he and Porky Pig were Robin Hood and (Very) Little John. I read his decision that emphatically declared:

Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge ! Spin! Ha! Thrust! (Then his beak would fly up, and he would straighten it out)

Does that make any less sense than anything written in Latin Legalese by some obscure clerk?

In the interest of diversity, a white male could join the court. We know where Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam stand on the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

Would Speedy be a strict constructionist? I suspect he would be a loose constructionist, or at the very least a loose constrictionist. Remember the time Daffy wished for Speedy to have a burrito stuck on his nose? That was such tight constriction that Speedy could not breathe.

Some would argue that Speedy Gonzalez would be a terrible choice because we need more judicial restraint. We need to go slower, not faster. The solution is more balance on the court. Speedy’s cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez would be much more measured and deliberate, to the point of being laconic.

Others would argue that Speedy Gonzalez is a negative stereotype about Mexicans. However, in 1999 the League of United Latin American Citizens passionately argued that he was a positive role model. After a brief stint off the air, their advocacy resurrected his career in 2002.

Speedy appeals to every race, color, and creed. The Rabbit lobby might be upset if Bugs Bunny gets passed over, but Speedy can point to his cameo in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” He can capture black support and the male athletic vote due to his brief appearance alongside Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan in “Space Jam.”

Bill Murray was in that movie, ensuring the support of maladroit, white, male golfers.

(If only Speedy had appeared in “Caddyshack” it would be a fait accomplis, which is French for something.)

So I say since the world is filled with Looney Tunes, we might as well have the real Looney Tunes, rather than cheap imitators who have no qualifications beyond already having done the judicial thing as a career.

Forget Sonia Sotomayor, Susan Sontag, and even Suzanne Sommers. Forget “Three’s Company.” (I’ve tried)

On this court, Eight is not enough. Nine is Company.

Support Daffy, Bugs, Elmer, Yosemite, Sylvester, and the Warner Brothers Yakko and Wakko from “Animaniacs” as seven of the associate justices. The eighth can be Brain from “Pinky and the Brain.” After all, most justices secretly want to try to take over the world anyway.

Besides, the business community would love him. In fact, the fliers of support could be drawn up by Sir Speedy Printing Services.

Support Speedy Gonzalez for Chief Justice.

Our ability to laugh depends on it.

The Nobel Peace Prize has long been worthless, as evidenced by Jimmy Carter and Yassir Arafat.

Al Gore is proof that the Nobel Prize might be the only thing worth less than an Academy Award, which he also won.

Further proof that the Nobel Prize for Economics is a useless piece of garbage is the rendering of the award to Paul Krugman, who writes an economic column that has absolutely nothing to do with economics.

While it is true that Paul Krugman has never murdered anybody in the tradition of typical Palesimian Yassir Arafat, Paul Krugman should now be considered a potential murderer.

I say this because only days ago, a madman murdered Dr. George Tiller, who performed third trimester abortions. When one reads the left-wing media, the blame is being placed on Bill O’Reilly. Therefore, if God forbid George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, or any other prominent conservative gets murdered, Mr. Krugman should be blamed. He has done more to foment hate than anybody in America not connected with the Daily Kos or Huffington Post.

This leftist bully thinks that bashing any economic policies to the right of Leon Trotsky is worthy of making him qualified to write about economics. Yes, it is true that he writes for the Jayson Blair Times and not a real newspaper, but he should not even be doing that.

Some will point to his Nobel Prize, which as anybody knows is given to those that either despise Jews, Republicans, or both. A self-hating Jewish leftist is the ideal candidate. If Nobel Prizes were to be even less relevant, they would be Academy Awards. Al Gore won both, which should inform the entire world of how little they matter.

Paul Krugman’s latest affront of everything decent and right in this world comes in the form of his recent attack on Ronald Reagan.

I am not sure if Mr. Krugman belongs to Moveon.org, but this is not a man capable of moving on. Some of his drivel is below, as he blames a man unable to fight back for the current financial crisis.

“Indeed, Reagan ushered in an era in which a small minority grew vastly rich, while working families saw only meager gains.”

My parents headed up a working family. They did very well under Ronald Reagan. They were public schoolteachers. They taught inner city kids. They never owned stock. Their middle class experience under President Reagan was the rule, not the exception. Paul Krugman can lie and lie some more, but his manipulating the numbers to his own liking makes him worthy of a career as a CEO of General Motors.

Perhaps Mr. Krugman truly believes that up is down, but most people have their head above the waist and their hide below it.

“On the latter point: traditionally, the U.S. government ran significant budget deficits only in times of war or economic emergency. Federal debt as a percentage of G.D.P. fell steadily from the end of World War II until 1980. But indebtedness began rising under Reagan; it fell again in the Clinton years, but resumed its rise under the Bush administration, leaving us ill prepared for the emergency now upon us.”

Ronald Reagan incurred debt because Tip O’Neill and George Mitchell kept rejecting his spending cuts. Additionally, we were in the middle of a Cold War, which Reagan won. Bill Clinton did not lower deficits. Newt Gingrich did, with Clinton being dragged kicking and screaming. George W. Bush faced 9/11.

Barack Obama is spending more than all of them combined, but Krugman remains silent. The reason for this is because he does not care one leftist iota about deficits. He is all in favor of spending provided it is spending that he agrees with. If we slashed the defense budget and quintupled welfare benefits, he would be dancing in the streets. This notion that he focuses on actual issues is an illusion. He looks at who is in power, decides if he loves them (liberals) or despises them to the point of fury that conservatives reserve for Al Queda.

“We werent always a nation of big debts and low savings: in the 1970s Americans saved almost 10 percent of their income, slightly more than in the 1960s. It was only after the Reagan deregulation that thrift gradually disappeared from the American way of life, culminating in the near-zero savings rate that prevailed on the eve of the great crisis.”

Mr. Krugman should immediately take any capital gains he has ever earned from any stock sales in the last quarter of a century, and donate those proceeds to either the Reagan Library or the Republican National Committee. He complains about our low rate of savings, yet refuses to acknowledge that actual wealth creation skyrocketed under the Gipper.

Mr. Krugman also hates the lower tax rates Reagan enacted. He should immediately pay more. Like any other Lear Jet Leftinistra, he wants me to give more, while he pontificates from his ivory tower at the Jayson Blair Times.

If he really wants to criticize a man who let ideology bankrupt something, he should go after human cancer Arthur “Pinch” Sulzberger Jr. The company has been outsourced to Mexico. Does Krugman care about his coworkers losing their jobs? Of course not. Otherwise he would target the real culprits. His own company has the worst CEO in America, and that includes GM.

(He sees the collapse in stock prices as proof that Reaganomics failed. I wonder if the recent surge in stocks will be because of Ronald Reagan as well.)

Paul Krugman is a man who insists that every single day of Republican rule will bring rain. It could be sunny for seven years, which the economy was from 2001-2007, but on the day it rains, Krugman will be there to bash conservatives. When Republicans rule, it is also acid rain. Thankfully Barack Obama cured this as well.

This is not about Paul Krugman being a liberal. It is about him being the journalistic equivalent of a toxic asset. Actually, given the balance sheet of the JBT, he is a toxic liability.

The man is a terrible human being not fit to be in the same room as Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan treated his opponents with dignity. Paul Krugman carries himself with as much dignity as Gore, Arafat, and Carter.

He has the Nobel Prize to prove how little he knows.

Perhaps he could use the prize money to buy himself some decency.

A pair of unrelated individuals have just been senselessly murdered.

The one that everybody is talking about is the murder of Kansas Doctor George Tiller.

http://www.kansascity.com/657/story/1226353.html

Doctor Tiller was a controversial figure. He was one of three doctors in America that performed third trimester abortions.

I don’t care where one is on the political spectrum. I don’t care whether one is pro-choice or pro-life. I personally stay out of the culture wars, and avoid the abortion issue.

Yet I do care when ideological bigots exploit a tragedy. I became a blogger to combat Ideological Bigotry.

Dr. Tiller was murdered. The act was heinous, evil, and worthy of the death penalty for the killer.

Anybody in their right mind that claims the murder of this doctor was a righteous act ought to suffer the same fate. Remember, “judge not lest ye be judged.”

Mainstream conservatives everywhere rightfully condemned this murder. Nobody who is “pro-life” can sanction murder.

Yet the left, to quote the current Democrat in power, does not like to let a good crisis go to waste. In this case, they do not want a tragedy to go to waste.

The body of Doctor Tiller has not even been laid to rest, and leftists are already blaming Bill O’Reilly and other conservative talk radio personalities for the murder.

This is another attempt to smear conservatives in the most vicious manner.

This is what liberalism is all about. Find conservatives, then seek and destroy them.

The left can barely contain their glee. Dr. Tiller’s death was manna from heaven. The Axis of Anti-Semitism, led by the Daily Koss and Huffington Post, are in full homicide bomber mode.

Dr. Tiller was murdered by an evil individual. He was not murdered by a movement. He was not murdered by conservatism.

The mainstream media will not willfully apply ideological bigotry to a second senseless murder.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/01/arkansas.recruiter.shooting/index.html

The first line tells the story.

“An Arkansas man was arrested Monday in connection with a shooting at a Little Rock military recruiting center that killed one soldier and wounded another, authorities said.”

This man killed military personnel specifically because they were military personnel.

Will this be considered a hate crime? Of course not. Soldiers are not considered a protected class, despite the fact that they keep us safe.

Will all leftist anti-war protesters be blamed for this? Will Arianna Huffington and Markos Moulitsas be blamed? Of course not. After all, the killing of an abortion doctor gets blamed on all pro-lifers, but the killing of a soldier does not get blamed on the many violent “peace activists” that are anything but.

A 24 year old man named Private William Long is no longer with us.

What makes this even more sickening from a political correctness standpoint is that the media will keep referring to the killer by his birth name, Carlos Bledsoe.

Carlos Bledsoe is as as connected to Islamofacism as Richard Reid the shoe bomber was.

Yet Richard Reid is almost never referred to as Abdul Raheem. Carlos Bledsoe should be referred to by his name that he calls himself, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad.

The media will not do this because they are terrified of being seen as attacking all Muslims.

Why are Christians never given this courtesy?

http://michellemalkin.com/2009/06/03/mapping-the-climate-of-hate/

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/06/04/two_murders_96829.html

I get enraged over the manipulation because all of this politically correct and selective sanitizing of the truth leads to the inevitable backlash. What frightens me more is I am part of the backlash.

I fly often. Airport security has very inconsistent rules. I am Jewish, and I wear a black hat. It is a fedora, not the Chasidic hat. It belonged to my grandfather.

Yet when I go through security, I will not take my hat and put it through the airport screening machine. I do not want it damaged or crushed. When I go through the metal detector, i remove the hat and show it to them. However, It is not going through the machine.

Until Arabs are asked to remove their turbans, the politically correct police can go to hell. I have civil rights as well.

Most screeners are decent about it. Yet when one screener was particularly abrasive, I had had enough. I sternly said, “Look. I am Jewish. Jews don’t blow up planes. Arabs do. Just ban Arabs from planes and we won’t have to waste time searching Jews.”

Am I proud I said this? Of course not. Yet again, I have simply had enough.

If we are truly going to be a decent and just society, then we have to hold bad people responsible, without blaming everybody else.

I am a white, conservative male. I am not an oppressor. I have never owned slaves, nor has anyone in my family. I am an average guy leading an average life, trying to make it in this world.

I want to see justice. I want justice for the families of Private William Long and Dr. Tiller.

I want the left to stop trying to blame every conservative in America for the actions of a horrible murderer.

After all, if liberals get tied to another anti-American killing of a soldier, they will be the first ones to get indignant.

Oh wait, they are already indignant. That is why they are liberals.

See how easy it is? If leftists don’t like it, they can shut their own hateful traps first.

In the oddest of ways, I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know attorney and Democratic political strategist Tanya Acker.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tanya-m-acker

I was flying first class, and I saw this stunning woman coming from the washroom. I was sure she was on television, but I thought she was a supermodel. When she told me that she was Tanya Acker, I knew exactly who she was. I had seen her debate on Hannity and Colmes.

While she is ferocious on television (an attorney by trade), she is very pleasant in person.

She let me know that she was reading over my shoulder. I had printed out some articles from RealClearPolitics, and enjoying the wisdom of Sir Chartles of Krauthammer and Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Ms. Acker let me know that she did not agree with what I was reading.

Yet despite having political views that could not differ more from mine, she was absolutely delightful to get to know. It made for pleasant conversation and a pleasant flight.

She laughed when I told her that I wanted to marry Andrea Tantaros and Mary Katharine Ham. She pointed out that they were even more beautiful in person. I am not surprised.

I figured she would detest my book, but that it did not hurt to show it to her.

After the flight was over, I asked her if she wanted to purchase a copy for one of her conservative friends. She surprised me by saying that she wanted a copy for herself instead.

As for the rest of the conversation I had with her, it shall stay private. She is entitled to her privacy.

Yet this is not a story about meeting  apolitical pundit and discussing politics. It is about how we treat people we disagree with.

The Golden Rule truly does work. I found very little common ground with Ms. Acker politically, but nevertheless found her to be a lovely person.

(Also, for those of you single guys out there, she does look like a supermodel.)

The world will be a better place one person at a time when we lay down our arms, stop shouting, and just talk to each other.

Having said that, I hope I never debate her on Hannity. She is much sharper than me.

I wish Ms. Acker well always.
