Christina’s Common Sense

I and those of my ilk have said for a long time that Barack Obama is unqualified to be President for a number of reasons. Chief among these are a lack of experience and being a screaming socialist. Most of us also think he’s unqualified because he’s (sort of) black. That’s what Al Sharpton says anyway.

But none of that matters, because Obama meets all the qualifications under the Constitution, right?

As it turns out, maybe not. 

I hesitated to blog about this, because it just seems too good to be true. Can you imagine the fit the professional race victims will throw if Obama is constitutionally prohibited from being President of the United States? “Racism, racism!” They will cry. “James Madison wrote this specifically to keep Barack from being President!” There will be calls for Constitutional amendments, law suits, and affirmative action measures to ensure that Barack is elected simply because he’s (almost) black.

And what about the media? Will anyone besides Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Shepard Smith even talk about this except in a sense that it can look good for Obama? Of course they won’t! That would be committing journalism, an art they forgot long ago. 

And, will the Republican (and I use the term loosely) nominee mention this in any manner, except to shut up some campaign official who does? Probably not. McCain may be the Republican nominee, but he’s still a Democrat.

Now, I am quite doubtful that anything will come of this. Even if it’s legit, it will look too much like a reach on the part of Republicans. However, it should be investigated. MSDNC and the Clinton News Network need to get their acts together and remember that they’re reporters first and Obama supporters second.

But should this blow up on Obama…oh! It just doesn’t get better for conservatives than watching liberals practice political cannibalism.

Well guys, finals are over and I’m back to writing about stuff that actually matters.

Ben Stein’s new documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is making liberals in general and specifically evolutionists everywhere squirm, which is what they do when their agenda is scrutinized.

I have yet to see this movie, but the New York Times gave it a scathing review. This means I will probably love it. The newspaper refers to Expelled as “a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.”

Well, they’d know.

People who say liberals are against free speech are wrong. They love it—for them. They don’t want anyone else’s speech to be free of their regulation. If liberals were really confident in their positions, they wouldn’t be worried about Expelled. They’d offer evidence, debate Stein on Hannity & Colmes, and engage in discussion over it. But since their positions are indefensible and they know it, all they can do is whine like a four-year-old girl. And I love watching every minute of it.

When it comes to Iraq, it’s hard to separate the spin from the reality. Many of us—and I was among their number for some time—find ourselves scratching our heads and wondering what to believe. On one hand, our friends in the military tell us that everything’s going well and they’re proud of their mission. On the other, we’ve got the likes of the Clinton News Network and PMSNBC telling us that this is all a catastrophe and we should cut and run before we create more terrorists. You know, like the police create more criminals by throwing people in jail.

Victor Davis Hanson, as usual, brilliantly cuts through the horse hockey to the truth. And I’m not biased or anything just because he’s in tight with my school. Here, Hanson shows us how despite the disastrous reports we get from the mainstream media, our War on Terror in general and Iraq specifically is right and in our national interest.

One of the biggest arguments against the Iraq War is that America is intervening where she has no business. But like it or not, the world has changed since the 1800s. Since the invention of a nasty little bugger known as the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, isolationism isn’t a good idea anymore. The reality is that American intervention is changing minds in the Middle East about Osama bin Laden and suicide bombing. These things made them our enemies, and now they are losing their stronghold on the Middle East. You’d have to be a complete fool—or a liberal—to not see that this is good for America. Iraq is not another Vietnam, and as long as this is the case it never will be.

On the subject of freedom, I want one of these. But I’ll probably have to wait for a cubic zirconia knockoff.

Well, folks, it’s been a fun ride. But now it’s time to go. I’ve got to build some kind of underground shelter or whatever since global warming is obviously about to kill us. Who knows if I’ll have Wi-Fi down there.

Yes, it’s true. Global warming has given us the coldest winter on record. This isn’t limited to the United States, however. It seems to be a worldwide happening. Clearly the world is suffering horribly at the hands of Hummers and SUVs and hybrids are the only hope for the future. Algore’s Countdown to World Destruction was obviously a few years off.

In a planet that’s supposedly getting warmer, we’re having the coldest winter ever. Isn’t this, like, news? So why did I have to dig into the vast recesses of Google News Alerts to find it? Why don’t I see it on CNN or MSNBC or any other networks? Could it be…media bias?

…Nah.
