Quick! Assemble The Armchair Generals

12:42 am EST March 17th, 2011 | Conservative, Foreign Policy | 17 Comments

Glenn Reynolds (aka Instapundit), who never saw a waste of an American soldier’s life he didn’t like, amplifies the rantings of Michael Ledeen (last seen flogging a made-up thesis supposedly written by Obama — it wasn’t) in a rant about Obama supposedly being “a desperate wimp” because he isn’t invading Libya or something.

There Once Was An American President Who Idiotically Thought He Was A Cowboy

What these serial stupids don’t realize is that 1) We don’t just randomly attack people any more and 2) Our capacity to attack is inhibited by the adventures they sanctioned.

Obama In Oval Office
Grownups At Work Formulating Grownup Policies

Whatever sentiment America had for interventions has evaporated. We are no longer a nation that will be wooed by the warmongers with visions of grand battles. We live in a realistic age of American power. We no longer believe (some of us never did) about rose-petal parades greeting us as “liberators.”

American foreign policy is now rooted in something resembling reality now, and we’re all safer thanks to it.

Glenn Reynolds Attacks NAACP, Continues Beclowning Himself

9:11 am EST February 8th, 2011 | Conservative | 38 Comments

Glenn ReynoldsI’ve pointed out numerous times just how pathetic, dishonest, and thin skinned Glenn Reynolds (aka Instapundit) is. But he must be feeling his irrelevancy increase, because now he’s decided to join his fellow conservatives in stupid race talk. In this instance, Reynolds whines about the NAACP not directly responding to the idiotic Daily Caller’s attempt to have them condemn a liberal protestor by describing the NAACP as “A bunch of pathetic house negroes living on the Democratic Party’s plantation.”

The sin the NAACP has committed, in the eyes of Reynolds, is not kowtowing to right-wing caterwauling. For this, Reynolds attacks an organization that has done more to combat racism and fight for civil rights in a single day than Reynolds will ever accomplish in his pathetic, smearing existence.

This is what they do, this is who they are.

Glenn Reynolds, Still A Coward

7:03 am EST November 25th, 2010 | Conservative | 58 Comments

Glenn Reynolds (aka Instapundit) outsources a hit on me to his pal Jim Treacher at the horrible Daily Caller. Treacher and Reynolds used to have catty e-mail exchanges about me back in the day, I guess things haven’t changed.

I understand Reynolds hiding behind his keyboard lobbing comments about nuking North Korea, but he can’t be a man about some random blogger (me)? For shame. Standard issue rightie-blogging.

Glenn Reynolds: Still Stupid

In response to the North Korean attack, Instapundit grumbles “nuke ‘em”. Because, millions of innocent North (and South) Koreans must die in order to satisfy the bloodlust of the 101st Keyboard Brigade. Sweet Jesus.

Glenn Reynolds Explains That You Poor People Shouldn’t Go To College

3:21 pm EST May 30th, 2010 | Conservative | 38 Comments

Instapundit:

With only a few exceptions (like being admitted to Yale Law School or CalTech) I strongly recommend avoiding student loans.

Now, I don’t think people should get college loans if they don’t have to. No doubt, if you can find some other way to pay for school, God bless you, do it. But for most middle class people, they can’t just write a check to pay for college. They have to take out loans. There isn’t any other magical option, other than not going. Now, we could go back in time and have just the truly well off educated, but then it wouldn’t be much of an America anymore.

Conservatives Discover That Thomas Friedman Is A Dick

4:09 am EST May 25th, 2010 | Conservative | 10 Comments

Instapundit links to this post from “The Anchoress” lamenting Tom Friedman’s fantasy of being dictator for a day, and sums it up with this idiocy:

Friedman and Mitchell, and even that self-absorbed twerp Woody Allen are all wringing their hands over something they cannot (yet) control; alternative media and how it has contributed to the difficulties of getting things done in Washington.

But here’s the thing. Barack Obama is not going to indulge in Thomas Friedman’s fantasy. Obama’s not interested in being a dictator, let alone to do so in order to make Friedman happy.

Let’s flash back, though, to the last time Tom Friedman had one of his little fantasy sessions:

Yes, Friedman says Iraq was about saying “suck on this”. That’s the policy that Glenn Reynolds and The Anchoress, and the rest of the ghouls on the right had so much excitement over. And we had a President dumb enough to indulge in Tom Friedman’s fantasies. We don’t any more. But now they realize Friedman is an idiot.

Sweet Jesus, protect us from these morons.

Every Day, Glenn Reynolds Gets Dumber (Israel Edition)

11:06 am EST March 27th, 2010 | Conservative | 54 Comments

Instapundit puts on his Middle Eastern expert hat.

Possibly Obama just hates Israel and hates Jews. That’s plausible — certainly nothing in his actions suggests otherwise, really.

Obama isn’t bending over backwards for Israel, especially after they continue to insult us with the building of settlements. So Reynolds just decides its probable that Obama hates Jews.

This is the mindset that ran the country for eight years, and almost eradicated America.

How Far Glenn Reynolds Has Fallen

1:05 am EST March 25th, 2010 | Conservative | 6 Comments

I know this week, and frankly the last 4 years, have sucked hard for conservatives but I remember a time when Instapundit (aka Glenn Reynolds) was akin to the word of God for the right. Now he’s reacting to FBI-investigated threats and violence versus members of congress by saying “Man up, Steny. Or just, you know, shut up.”.

Low, even for a conservative.

Instapundit, Others, Push Sketchy “World Tribune” Story On Bunker Busters & Israel

9:33 am EST March 19th, 2010 | Conservative | 2 Comments

Instapundit is pushing a story from an outfit called The World Tribune that claims that President Obama diverted a shipment of bunker busters to Israel for political reasons.

Maybe the story is true, but no credible outlet has reported it.

Why is the World Tribune not credible?

From 2003:

Aficionados of the Drudge Report may have noticed several striking headlines recently linking to stories from the World Tribune, an enterprise with a title as grand and ambitious as it is unfamiliar. One such story last week began, “U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.” The apparent scoop—of stop-the-presses significance—was unsigned, and billed as a “special to World Tribune.com.” The Times, the Journal, and the Washington Post, meanwhile, not only got beat but failed even to acknowledge the news in the days that followed. What gives?

Not everyone ignored it: Rush Limbaugh, for instance. “There’s a piece in the World Tribune today—one of the papers in the United Kingdom—exactly as theorized on this program early on,” he said on his radio show. “It’s unconfirmed, but it’s a story that many of the weapons of mass destruction are at present buried in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon.” Fox News, catering to a similar demographic, enlisted a military analyst that evening to discuss potential ramifications—military intervention in Lebanon?—on “The O’Reilly Factor.” According to the story, the weapons were probably delivered to the Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold, in a caravan of tractor-trailers that was spotted leaving Iraq in January, two months before the war began, as part of a multimillion- dollar storage deal between Saddam Hussein and the Syrian government.

In fact, the World Tribune is not published in the United Kingdom, nor is it, to be precise, a newspaper. It is a Web site produced, more or less as a hobby, in Falls Church, Virginia, and is dedicated to the notion, as its mission statement explains, that “there is a market for news of the world and not just news of the weird.” (Nonetheless, the site includes a prominent feature, Cosmic Tribune, with an extraterrestrial focus, and it links to a Mafia journal called Gang Land News.) Its editor and publisher, Robert Morton, is an assistant managing editor at the Washington Times and a former “corporate editor” for News World Communications, the Times’ owner and the publishing arm of the Unification Church, led by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. (Morton and his wife, Choon Boon, are themselves followers of the Reverend Moon.) Among the World Tribune’s other recent half-ignored scoops are that Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for last month’s blackout and that a North Korean defector stressed, during a meeting in July with White House officials, the need for a preëmptive military strike against Kim Jong Il.

This is the kind of media outlet that makes Fox News look semi-credible.
