Ten Things That Should Happen in Tonight’s Foreign Policy Debate Between President Romney and Bathhouse Barry
I was a political science/international studies major in college and participated in the Model UN team my school fielded to different competitions around the country; we traveled to Boston, Akron, San Francisco, and Washington at different points representing France, Nigeria, Iceland, and other countries and, of course, my professors always pushed that “we are global citizens” garbage of which the Left is so perpetually fond. I still think it would have been hilarious if a prankster mailing out the assignment packets to these Model UN things would give some random school “The Klingon Empire” and have Michelle Obama’s home world represented at the table. These things go on for many hours and get quite boring at times when squabbling over various points of procedure being and having Klingons or Romulans around would have made things more visually interesting than just a bunch of college kids in blazers who look nothing at all like the people from the countries they’re representing. The Model UN team took a lot of reading and hard work so it’s no wonder nobody named “Obama” was ever a part of one, but Michelle would have made a great Klingon and I’d be remiss for not noting this here.
My favorite country that we ever played in the mock sessions was Iceland because, though small and with very limited resources, they were always ready to help and would send a five-member “technological assistance team” into just about any conflict to lend a hand; also, we were invited to the Icelandic embassy in Washington during one of our conferences and I marveled at how all the walls there are curved and made from an iridescent wood that made the entire suite of offices look like the Northern Lights…with volcanic rock countertops and light fixtures that resembled the frosty part of Iceland’s “Land of Fire and Ice” branding. They may have bankrupted themselves and needlessly destroyed their own economy by attempting to become international investment bankers instead of fishermen and shepherds, but Icelanders sure can build a jaw-dropping embassy. I loved representing Iceland so much in the mock UN that I ended up going on a study abroad there for a year to GPS-map lava formations in the field. That was one of my favorite life experiences, which really made me appreciate how great the United States really is. While beautiful and interesting, Iceland is weak and backwards…as are much of the countries that dominate the United Nations.
I have to say how much I’ve always detested the UN, even when participating in those mock general sessions. The organization is worthless because outside of the Security Council it’s controlled by third world Islamists and dictators, and has been for decades. There’s a definite thug culture to the place and almost everyone affiliated with it makes life a nightmare for many of the people I know in New York; diplomats are notorious for inconveniencing or even assaulting American citizens in Manhattan but the police there are prevented from ever doing anything but taking the foreigners’ side. I wish FDR’s original plan to establish the UN on one of the smaller Hawaiian islands had happened instead of giving these loons land on Manhattan…though I think most of the UN staff and the delegates they serve would really have been most at home on Cuba.
While I enjoyed my coursework and reading assignments in college, I constantly butted heads with my professors because they believed the UN was a good thing and that the US should defer to it in most things. I remember being a kid and watching the Superfriends cartoon on Saturday mornings, where Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman were always being summoned by the UN Secretary General or preventing the Legion of Doom from taking over the UN to control the world. It seemed that show purposefully relegated the US president to being just “one of the leaders of the world” instead of the “leader of the free world” as I’ve always seen the person in the Oval Office. I think the UN has largely become the voice of the unfree world that seeks to take away American freedoms and diminish our influence abroad in favor of raising the profile of Islam. This has been going on for years, since those superhero cartoons of the early 80s, but has really picked up steam under the last two UN Secretaries General.
I really think that Bathhouse Barry, our current American president, would like to become UN Secretary General himself because he’d consider that a promotion to “world leader” instead of just “President of the United States”; Barack Obama believes America is just one country amongst many, no more exceptional than Greece, Spain, Yemen, or Iran. Why settle for the top position in just “one country of many” when he can sit on a near-throne beneath a creepy emblem with a giant globe in the middle like he’s become the world-king and master of the unfree world? I think this his his most fervent heart’s desire, but I doubt he’ll ever get his wish. Even if the UN would want Obama to have that position, he’d have to be nominated for it by the White House…and as long as Democrats don’t control it anymore, that’s just not going to happen. No American has ever been UN Secretary General and I doubt an American ever will because the third world voting bloc that controls that body won’t allow it…not even for one of their spiritual own in Barack Obama.
With the third presidential debate happening tonight in Boca Raton, Florida I’d like to see Bathhouse Barry asked directly about his desire to become UN Secretary General and if he’d indeed consider that a promotion from being President of Just the United States (as Obama sees it). THAT is the question I’d ask this guy if I’d ever see him in person again, but certainly if I had the opportunity to ask him something in the debate. That’s not going to happen, of course, but here’s a list of ten things that should (or could) happen in tonight’s foreign policy debate between the very presidential seeming Mitt Romney and Bathhouse Barry:
10. My expectation is for Bob Scheiffer to be the most professional and responsible moderator we’ve seen this election cycle. I truly don’t believe Scheiffer will side with one man or the other tonight on anything because he has always been consistent in his ability to keep his personal partisan leanings to himself while on the air. This is a journalist from the days when the word meant something and Scheiffer’s from the old school of thought in the news business where guys like Walter Cronkite were worshipped as an ideal. Cronkite was a rabid lefty but you’d have never known it by watching him on the air because credibility and unbiased reporting were paramount to him. Scheiffer is like that too. Through the years I’ve seen him decline numerous opportunities to be a partisan hack…and I just don’t see him choosing tonight to embarrass himself in the close of his career. Plus, he saw the damage Candy Crowley did to herself last week by becoming the third debater at that Town Hall train wreck; Candy always has a second act as a Carnie Wilson impersonator to fall back on, but Scheiffer doesn’t easily resemble any female singers of the early 90s so there’s incentive for him to keep being an on-air news personality. It, thus, behooves Scheiffer to not beclown himself on television this evening.
9. Mitt Romney will look presidential and assure voters that he’ll be an excellent Commander in Chief. This is a very big deal, folks, and it’s something you might take for granted because Mitt Romney forever seems presidential (to the point where one woman at the Town Hall debate referred to him as President Romney already). Walt Disney World is already at work on the Romney figure for its Hall of Presidents attraction and I’m told that Washington, DC’s already booking up with nonrefundable reservations for Romney supporters who are now starting their plans for his Inauguration in January. This is Reagan versus Carter all over again, where a ramshackle and bumbling Democrat apologist will be replaced by a strong and proud Republican with movie star good looks and the ability to command confidence and presidential aura wherever he goes. Carter came off as a buffoon to most people in 1980 and Bathhouse Barry seems like a junkie who often has no idea where he is that day. Regular people who do not read political websites and get most of their information from friends or things they read over stranger’s shoulders on the train in the morning will pick up on the fact that Romney just felt like a commander-in-chief at this debate and a strong leader…while Obama was his usual meek and dithering self who believes America is just one country amongst many. Just as that sealed the deal for Reagan 32 years ago, so too will it cement Romney as the most presidential choice tonight.
8. Obama’s lies on Benghazi will be exposed and it will not be pretty for him. It’s funny how life works. Watergate became a big deal because of the coverup. Presidential scandals since have been all about the coverup. Candy Crowley thought she was helping Bathhouse Barry coverup the Benghazi debacle by shutting down the debate at the Town Hall…but in reality she just made people really curious about what actually happened with all that. I’ve seen repeatedly since last week that people who had no interest in any of this before now smell “something fishy” because of Crowley’s jumping in to rescue Obama. Not only does this prevent tonight’s moderator Bob Scheiffer from attempting something similar, but it guarantees he’ll have to specifically ask Barack Obama what he knew and when he knew it. When Obama attempts to lie, Mitt Romney will bust him on live television. I have no idea how Bathhouse Barry is going to get out of this, folks. He is absolutely cornered because if he admits he lied in the last debate, he’s toast. If he says he misspoke, he’ll seem dishonest because Crowly sure rushed to his defense and the two of them sided against Romney on the issue when Romney was correct the whole time. There’s the option that Obama is just consistently incompetent in all he does, but that’s a disqualifier to the presidency for most people. There is just no way for this man to salvage the situation in a way that makes him look good…and Romney will see to it tonight that Obama is eviscerated on the issue of Libya, the rape and murder of gay ambassador Chris Stevens, and the fact that the buck never stopped with Obama in a regime in which nobody’s really sure who’s running things. Romney will paint himself as a take charge chief executive who will call the shots and ensure order and consistency in his administration…which is a stark contrast to the abject chaos of the last four years.
7. The Islamization of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and likely Syria will be discussed and Obama will look terrible for supporting all this. I honestly believe Barack Obama really does want to see an Islamic caliphate rise in the Middle East that would ultimately form a “United States of Islam” with the Muslim Brotherhood as its founding fathers. It would be an evil, BizarroWorld nemesis of the West that would seek to conquer first Africa, then Europe, and eventually the entire world by spreading Islam to every corner of the globe. Barack Obama wants this because his mother taught him as a little boy that the West must be destroyed so that everyone could be reduced to third world status and live “in harmony” as “global equals”. Watch 2016 Obama’s America before the debate if you have not seen it already…this is all spelled out in Dinesh DSouza’s brilliant film…and there’s no way that some of this does not come out in a foreign policy debate because people are talking about all this after seeing the movie. If Scheiffer doesn’t bring all this up, then Romney will because on the campaign trail Paul Ryan has repeatedly been talking about Obama’s foreign policy unraveling.
6. If Obama gets another term Israel will be destroyed. It is simple as that. Any American Jew voting for Barack Obama is signing Israel’s death warrant. I’m gay and live in Chicago. Having Democrats in office does nothing to help gay men in this town, yet gay men vote Democrat here by at least an 80% majority. Why is that? Because peer pressure and group think in this demographic bloc prevent guys from voting in their economic best interests…which would actually be for Republicans. The Left has convinced gays that Republicans are evil and that if they could, they’d round all gays up into concentration camps and exterminate us. This is one of many lies Democrats tell gays to keep us on their political plantation. The same thing happens with Jews, who also vote against their own economic best interests because the Left paints Republicans as the party of white Christians and Jews are taught to resent this and embrace the otherness of the Left. Being a Democrat is thus more important to Jews than siding with the people who consistently protect Israel and consider it America’s great ally and friend. If you are gay, you are bullied into being a Democrat and if you are a Jew the same unthinking thing happens. But it has never been more clear that Israel will indeed be wiped off the map in an Obama second term. I have an ex-boyfriend who is Jewish and lives in Philadelphia. He was a Hillary guy in 2008, like me, but he ended up voting for Obama instead of McCain/Palin because he’s never voted Republican and thought it would betray his “jewishness” to do so. Out of curiosity, I reached out to him last week to see what he thought was going to happen in this election and he told me that he’s voting for Romney and so are many of his Jewish friends because Obama would allow the Muslims to destroy Israel in his second term. My ex actually brought up the thing Obama said to Russia about having “more flexibility in a second term” to do things that would prevent his reelection. My Jewish ex-boyfirend said in no uncertain terms that he interprets this to mean that not only would Russia be afforded this sort of “flexibility”, but that the Muslim Brotherhood would be as well…and Obama would allow Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya to wage another war against Israael to drive the Jews into the sea as Muslims have long dreamed. i don’t have a good enough read of the Jewish community on the whole to determine if, indeed, a good number of them are either voting Romney or staying home on election day but it’s shocking that my ex is going to vote Republican for the first time ever just because he knows that Obama would certainly allow Israel to be destroyed if the opportunity presented itself after November 6th. There is no way this is not being brought up by SOMEONE tonight.
5. Speaking of Russia…count on Mitt Romney to bring up the “more flexibility in a second term” open-mic statement by Obama. We’ve never gotten a good explanation for what he meant by that…but I think one will be demanded tonight. Obama will hem and haw and avoid the question as much as possible, but that won’t be easy with just Romney, Scheiffer, and Bathhouse Barry up on the stage. There will be no pressure to end a topic and race off to talk to Pamela Sue Butterscotch-McPearson from Marvin Gardens who wants to ask a question about education (or something) Town Hall-style. Why on Earth would we give Russia more flexibility on anything when Tsar Vladimir is attempting to reincarnate the Russian empire in his lifetime?
4. China will be painted as a giant threat, of course, but I’m telling you this stuff is overblown by all sides. I’m old enough to remember when the fear porn being peddled by lazy minds who loved being riled up was that Japan was going to buy America and we’d all be ruled from Tokyo by the year 2000. There was even a Michael Keaton movie about this, with Japanese people taking over his auto plant and making him eat sushi and wear a sumo-wrestler diaper and learn to be more Japanese wherever he lived in the Rust Belt. Even when I was in high school, the fear porn aficionados were still going on about Japan “taking over”. That not only never happened, but the peddlers of fear porn pretend they never sounded a false alarm over “the rise of a new Empire of Japan!”. I studied Mandarin in college, had an Asia focus in my international studies degree, and taught English in Beijing for a semester on a study abroad in China. The regular people on the ground there are surprisingly a lot like Americans despite what you hear on the tee-vee (but they do spit a lot and have no concept of table manners). China has always been a land with serious self-image issues and performance anxiety. For centuries, the Empire of Japan taunted the Middle Kingdom and stole whatever it wanted from the Chinese. Over and over again in China I’d hear how Japanese emperors would greet the Chinese emperors in official correspondence with the salutation, “From the Emperor of the land of the Rising Sun to the Emperor of the land of the Setting Sun…”. Hundreds of years later, the Chinese are still miffed at this…and for the last ten years they’ve been racing to build all sorts of things on the cheap and with no concept of structural integrity to catchup to the Japanese. Massive disasters are coming in the next decade because of this. No one is writing about this, but when I was there in 2003 already people were scared out of their minds and wouldn’t ride the trains because the tracks were all made with substandard materials and the trains themselves were built by Chinese firms who cut corners to save (and then pocket) money. If a design called for three rivets to hold something important in place, the Chinese eliminate two of them during construction without telling the engineers or architects. One rivet costs less than three, in the Chinese way of thinking, and less expensive is better. There’s actually a demented pride in doing things like this…like someone is proving how “clever” he is by scamming the system like this and diverting those “savings” to his own bank account. The Japanese have never been like this, but it’s part of Chinese culture to be so “clever”…which has blown up in China’s face since the dawn of the Middle Kingdom. Romney talks about this on the periphery when he highlights how China steals technology and manipulates its currency to gain advantage in markets…this is also the Chinese thinking they are being “so very clever”. All of this is going to blow up in China’s face in a few years. You have my email and can check back in with me in 2017 or so after it’s happened, but in the next five years China’s going to collapse in much the same way Japan did and some other country out there (Brazil, probably) will be the next focus of fear porn mongering. China’s buildings will start to collapse. It’s trains will derail. And the one-child policy will cause social instability. The “oh so clever” types who are still in power at that point will have no idea what to do, and major changes to Chinese government will come. While Chinese people do enjoy proving to the world they are not backwards and inferior to the Japanese, they’ll have to one day soon own up to the fact that they’ve had no idea what they were doing while building all the things that have disastrously started falling apart in the country (seemingly overnight in some cases). The reason I think this is so clear is that I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio…where people also had an attitude problem because we were the but of so many national jokes for so many years that Ohioans in general like to prove they are clever sometimes too. I did another study abroad in Iceland just as they were trying to become investment bankers on the world stage instead of the fishermen and shepherds they were since Viking times…and Iceland collapsed in the end as well. This is the course that China’s on, but few are talking about it because viewers and readers love seeing Chinese fear porn…as much as they loved vintage Japanese fear porn back in the day and will eat up Brazilian fear porn in ten or fifteen years.
3. Obama wants to cut our military down to almost nothing and also reduce our nuclear arsenal so we have fewer weapons than Russia or (ultimately) Islamic countries. Again, you need to see Dinesh DSouza’s 2016 Obama’s America. Towards the end, like in the last 15 minutes, the movie presents Obama’s agenda for his second term…where he specifically eliminates America’s ability to defend ourselves and allows the United States to become vulnerable to annihilation by either Russia or an Islamic Caliphate in the future. This is what Obama wants, and he seeks to begin the process of making this a reality by reducing our military might and destroying our nuclear arsenal. The Left has wanted this for years because it believes declawing America will then force this country to do whatever the UN wants, since we’ll be held hostage by stronger powers in the third world. This is Obama’s road to “social justice” and it’s peppered with nonstop attempts to weaken this country for the benefit of those who hate Americans. There is no way this is not talked about in the debate. Seriously…before this evening’s event, please watch 2016 Obama’s America online if you have two hours you can spare.
2. Iran is closer than ever to acquiring a nuclear weapon and it’s something Obama approves of. Romney will talk about Obama not supporting the attempted revolution in Iran that would have overthrown the Ayatollahs if only America had helped them; Obama will attempt to obfuscate and hem/haw this but Romney won’t let him get away with it. This issue is hard for a lot of people to understand but the reason Obama did not want the Ayatollahs overthrown is because Iran has a theocratic government. Obama only wants secular governments in the Middle East overthrown — like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and now Syria — so they can be replaced by Islamic ones driven by Sharia law. If Obama gets a second term, Lebanon, Jordan, the Gulf States, and Saudi Arabia could also be overthrown by Islamists so that the United States of Islam could eventually be born (of a jackal, no doubt). It’s so unbelievable that we currently have a US president who wants to see this happen. This is what Jimmy Carter’s wanted for years…the destruction of Israel and Islamic conquest of the Middle East. If Obama is not limited to one term like Carter, this is what will happen. Only Mitt Romney can stop him…and Iran will be a forceful topic in the debate because an Iranian nuke will prompt other Islamic countries to pursue nuclear weapons, which will lead to chaos and destruction in the world because Muslims will indeed use these weapons in service to “Allah” wherever and whenever they can.
1. American exceptionalism is not something Obama believes in. At its most basic level, this is Obama’s foreign policy now…that America is just nothing special and that all countries in the world are morally equal and exceptional in their own way. I don’t believe this at all, though this is what my professors in college tried teaching us all the time. The fact is clear to me: America is the greatest country that has ever existed in the world. It is the one place where humans finally got things right for a change. Imperfect as anything human will ever be, America was blessed by a loving and strategic God who indeed created a City on a Hill for the rest of humanity to admire and learn from. Through the years, blood and treasure have been spent defending and protecting the remarkable experiment in freedom that originated in the 13 colonies that our founding fathers organized into a more perfect union. America is an exceptional place unlike anything else on the planet. Without the United States, the forces of darkness and Islam would consume our world and eliminate freedom wherever they good. The Left pretends there are no horrors lurking in the dark and that Muslims in particular are just misunderstood…but the only thing bringing light to the darkness and keeping the monsters at bay is Lady Liberty’s flaming torch. I am a gung-ho, rah-rah, wave the flag American who enjoys playing Whitney Houston’s Superbowl performance first thing in the morning as soon as my computer boots up to start my day. That’s usually followed by a little Neil Diamond and I am well on my way to taking names and kicking a** American-style after that. I abhor the buffoons out there who come up to me and ask, “What’s your nationality?” because they want to tell me they are “one part Greek and three fifths Italian on my mother’s side and a little Scottish because I am a mutt”. No, dummy, you’re a damn fool because you are an AMERICAN and be proud of that. THAT is your nationality. Your nationality is American and all this “one part this and a quarter that” nonsense about countries your long-dead relatives lived in two hundred years ago is just stupid. Teddy Roosevelt warned about this “hyphenated-American” garbage back in the 1900s when he saw that subversives attempted to diminish this country’s national identity by revving buffoons up to claim they were “Scottish-Americans” or “Hungarian-Americans” or “Irish-Americans” or whatever. We’re all Americans. No hyphens. Period. And we are citizens of the best country in the entire world, the best that’s ever existed. I will never apologize for that. I am proud of that. And the quickest way possible to get on my bad side is to start up any “What’s your nationality?” garbage, especially if someone is stupid enough to then tell me “American is not a nationality, what are you really?”. I’m someone who doesn’t want to know you, that’s what I am, if you’re a “nationality expert” like this.
I wish I had read Mitt Romney’s book No Apologies earlier because he really believes in American exceptionalism too. That’s going to come out in the debate tonight, while Obama’s going to have to cater to his base…which does not believe in this. The Left is very much about the “raising global citizens” and “nationality expert” stuff…whereas Romney loves this country and is proud of it and is not going to apologize for a damn thing. I love the images that Drudge Report has been running of Obama bowing to Muslim kings and the Japanese Emperor, amongst others. Mitt Romney will bow to no one.
And that’s why he’s going to be the next President…as he will show us tonight in a direct and determined contrast to the Islamic junkie that is Bathhouse Barry.

Kevin: you hit all the big Points right up front. I hope Mitt takes him down. I heard BO was cramming for this debate. How does a sitting president who has an IQ of 143 and is such a genius and so intelligent he skips INTEL briefings as he can do it on his own … how does a person like this cram?
Isn’t cramming for loser college kids who are about to flunk the course as they never cracked the books all semester?
I am so sick and tired of hearing about this fantasy figure in the WH that the MSM mocks-up to be a super hero. I have had it and I am going to barf if they proclaim him the winner.
They should all lose their jobs when Mitt wins in Nov. 6th.
Honey, the only cramming Bathhouse Barry ever did was at Man’s Country…but it’s too graphic to talk about here. THAT is the sort of cramming the current President is used to.
ROFL Kevin!! I’m so glad I wasn’t drinking when I read this.
You’re being very optimistic in your point #10 : Michelle Malkin has evidence that would prove otherwise.
http://michellemalkin.com/2012/10/22/the-bias-of-bob-schieffer-top-7-moments/
Still, he is on notice! Looking forward to this debate…
I love Michelle but I don’t think she factors what Candy did last time into things…but Scheiffer will.
Candy went overboard. Scheiffer is nearing retirement and won’t want to leave his job as a clown. He wants a respected legacy. He wants to sell books to make money to leave a nice estate and be remembered after he’s dead.
He is not going to jeopardize that by being a partisan ass like Candy tonight.
No way.
Right. Scheiffer doesn’t work for Clown College otherwise known as MSNBC or CNN. He works for CBS which used to be respectable and still is in part.They may be few and far between but there are real, actual stories that qualify as journalism and not DNC talking points on CBS and ABC.
If you think anyone in TV or Hollywood is a friend of America then you are dreaming. All TV is the same including Fox Al Waleed. Fox is slightly better but they are backed by Saudi money. Ditto TW/CNN, ABC/Disney, NBC/CNBC/MSNBC/GE/Comcast. CBS/Viacom less but they have done deals with Al Waleed.
TV is used to control the public. Your viewership keeps them in control. They have all covered for Obama along with Hollywood.
Kevin, while reading your 10 points, Fox announced a quote from Scheiffer about the criticism leveled against Martha Raddicks and Candy Crowley which was something to the effect of ”We’re the referries and no one complains unless they’re losing’. Now, being a proud TCU Ballet alumni, I’m really disgusted and disappointed in his biased, snotty comment & would love to do a grande battemente where it hurts the most! I can only hope you’re correct and he maintains a professional demeanor You’re the best, Kevin!
Meant to say refferees.
Kevin, are you sure about that? I don’t remember what you think of Michelle Malkin, but she posted this today:
http://michellemalkin.com/2012/10/22/the-bias-of-bob-schieffer-top-7-moments/
I really like Michelle Malkin. I don’t agree with her every day though.
But, wow, she made me a fan for life a few weeks ago when she screamed on FOX or CNN or something about Muslims treating every Friday as “Riot Friday”.
I’ve never seen someone be so brave on tee-vee like that.
I’d take a bullet for Michelle any day for her being so honest about Muslims…but Michelle is not right on everything.
She’s wrong on Schieffer I think.
He is not going to risk his legacy by behaving like Candy Crowley tonight. She’s so much younger and has a longer time to live this down…but Schieffer is about 5 years away from being retired and that’s not enough time to repair any damage from tonight.
Post-debate and the trouble is, they just don’t know they are doing it. The insightless lamestream media.
His bowing is creepy. He must have some serious monsters running around in his head: putting on an act of superiority with his nose in the air and then being so subservient to other leaders. A very odd person; a classic bully? Very much a beta animal.
Oh, golly whiz . . . I’m snickering over drudgereport . . . priceless!
One more thing that should happen:
Romney should give Bathhouse Barry that look he gave him at the TownHall debate, just before BB said ‘proceed, governor’.
In fact, he should give him several of those looks, and he’ll have reduced BB to a quivering jelly.
Uninstalling Obama……… █████████████▒▒▒ 90% complete.
ebayer –
I really love that “uninstalling Obama” think you inserted.
How did you do that?
I have no idea how to do that…it is SO COOL.
I wish I could take credit for it,but I “stole it” from a commenter on a different story on Obama.
How did you insert it though?
I don’t know how to do that with comments. Is it a JPEG you got to load?
All you have to do is cut and paste this █████████████▒▒▒. They are part of the extended ascii table – aka UTF-8 – (see ref here http://www.ascii-code.com/). Same way people add accented letters to text (ie Ö or À) or Blue Oyster Cult Symbols (¿) …. wait did I just draw a donkey’s behind? Well I guess that keeps in on topic then.
I was able to copy and paste it into a document, so that may work.
It’s a unicode character, for example, U+2592 will create this: ▒
Most fonts can now read Unicode characters, but how to create this on the keyboard is another issue. You’ll have to look up references for your particular system. This entry, if you go to the hexadecimal input section, should give you what you need for your setup.

There are also several apps that let you view characters from which you can copy/paste into whatever you’re creating.
Gosh, it’s shocking how much I don’t know what to do with computers. Justin knows all this stuff.
I actually have this thing that happens to me more and more where I almost shut down when thinking about tech stuff. I just feel overwhelmed. I have to stop, realize some emotions are taking hold, and then try to understand the tech stuff a bite at a time. But with Twitter, Facebook, email, texts, Skype, cell phones, instant messaging…etc…I feel pulled in so many directions at once and every day it seems there is some new computer thing to deal with.
Justin is not taxed by any of this stuff…but it all makes me feel like I’m having a breakdown.
I feel so overwhelmed.
But, I take that deep breath…or a long hot shower…or I go outside and jump rope for an hour and I feel better because I think the endorphins help my brain process this stuff more clearly. Not sure why, but I think the endorphins might counter whatever brain chemicals make me feel overwhelmed by the tech.
Thank you for this!! One question: why doesn’t the gay community realize that Obama is for Islam, which isn’t nice to gays?
Also, saw Ben Affleck’s “Argo” this weekend about Carter’s Iran hostage crisis. Would have been interesting timing (for the film) if Obama had quickly & successfully negotiated the release of, say, The Libyan Ambassador.
Looking foward to tonight! Romney better not “move on” from the Libya or Bengazi subject if the moderator asks to do so. Romney should insist obama provide Americans with long overdue answers and transparency before they move on to any other part of the world.
I emailed & Facebooked to Romney’s campaign that he should place Obama’s Rose Garden on UN videos and ask the people to go to mittromney.com, view for themselves and determine who is lying.
Notice that Big Onery bends his right knee as he bows before the Saudi Obesity; he does not do that for the others. Any ideas why he’s doing this? Is this some additional homage to SO? Some new Islamic forelock pulling?
Love reading Hillbuzz and your take, Kevin, on BO. I’ve been a fan, albeit a lurker type for years, and am glad you’re feeling well again. Thank you Kevin for your insight and courage. And thank you for your patriotism. I get the weeps just reading what you wrote about this marvelous country we live in. America is a glory.
Kevin, have you seen the “buzz” over at Politico today? Apparently Donald Trump has announced that he has some “very big news” about Obama that will be released this week. He says that it is so big that all the media will cover it.
I wonder what it is?
My guess: I wonder if he got hold of Obama’s Student Records that may show that he attended school on a Foreign Student Scholarship. No matter where Obama was born – doesn’t matter — evidence may show that Obama was either a liar then or he is a liar now. About one thing or the other.
What do you think it could be?
I can’t watch it. Hubby and I will be knocked out by 9 pm I’m pretty sure.
But I agree with you on Scheiffer – he saw the results of Candy’s interference and he doesn’t want to destroy what cred he has left.
I’ll probably watch the first part of it, but last time I couldn’t watch *and* listen to him, so I turned off the live stream and turned on the radio, making things much more bearable.
If you are interested, you can watch online tomorrow, or record it. I am recording it since my hubby is not interested and I am…
I love you… keep it up KDJ.
I never believed he was born in Kenya but I did believe he hoped people in the “Muslim world” (gag- a sitting president should not use that phrase the way he does nor should a US president refer to countries as “Islamic countries” – separation of church and state? Hello??) thought he was secret Muslim.
And absolutely – US Presidne tof “just” the U.S. was a mere stop on the way to his goal of being UN President!
Oh Kevin, you are too much!!
I’ve been saying for years that Michelle O. looks like a Klingon War Bride.
If only Pres. Obama could bow to the people of the United States. That will never happen and that is why so many of us want him to go.
Maybe if he does retire to Hawaii, the U.N. can be moved to that island you mentioned above. (I never knew that about the U.N. plans). That would give him the perfect hobby – Inspecter General General of the U.N. Hobby Horses (or whatever). He could wear a Michael Jackson outfit and fit in well with the other U.N. losers that take themselves way too seriously.
Just a thought…
Look what some enthusiastic Iowans did to proclaim their support of Governor Romney! Delightful!

Pryaing for an amazing night for Mitt!
Just got 2016 at the Redbox! I’ll carve out some pre-debate time to watch it. I imagine I will want to purchase it here, later though. Very interesting your observations on China. You’ve got me really paying attention all the time now, Kevin.
As an aside, I watched the second debate just last night. ( just listened to it that night) and take it from someone who knows..Bath-house definitely looks strung out. His eyes are crazy..wide open and dead looking with a desparate tinge. I’ve seen that look many times.
I really love you Kevin! And I love this website. I am very much a CarolAnn and I can turn people into Justin’s pretty quickly, but I’m getting better (especially after finding your blog!).
Nervous but hopeful for this debate tonight…and for the future of America (thanks to you and a few others!).
“Romney will bow to no one” I’m with you about being an unabashed, flag waving patriotic American. Have always felt that way. America is an exceptional country because she gives unconditionally; she is noble and decent and generous.
Many excuses can be made for Obama, and maybe some will forgive him, but of all the “sins” he has committed against the American people it is the one of his anti-Americanism – for that, I can’t forgive him.
I would like to hear Romney say that as president he will revoke Obama’s executive privilege order so that Brian Terry’s mom can finally find out who in the federal gov’t is responsible for her son’s violent death.
Amen!
I hoping Romney gets in a swipe at what a diplomatic failure Fast & Furious was. Remember: Obama armed Mexican drug cartels without informing the Mexican government. Bush’s Operation Wide Receiver was a joint US-Mexico operation.
The always, always excellent Michael Ramirez illustrates it here, asking the perfect question: http://www.investors.com/editorial-cartoons/michael-ramirez/630081-barack-obama-lies-election-2012

One correction – Israel will not be destroyed. How do I know? Because I know Bible prophecy. Israel will stand no matter how much her Islamic neighbors and Russia throw at her.
God has not allowed it to happen — He will continue to protect them, as they have a role to play in His plans.
I have nothing profound to add. Everyone’s comments are so wonderful. But I have to say, this is one great article and add that America is an exceptional country. No nation has ever tried harder. I thank my grandparents every day for coming to America so that we could be born here.
Put a fork in Obama, he’s done.
Watching Marco Rubio speak to Wolf on CNN. I think a lot of people are sick and tired of how these alleged intelligent news folk can never understand what they are being told in clear concise language that even a little kid can understand.
Anyway, CNN is touting a memo from Kerry who they note is the president’s debate coach to give him some sort of credibility. Dana Bash had a lot of fun telling the audience how the president will be on the offensive, will not allow Romney to speak and will make him accountable for his statements that are shown in the new obama commercial that they claim is devastating to Romney. They played, for free, the first part of the commercial. Shouldn’t the Romney camp have equal time? Then they went into their interview of Rubio who was smiling from ear to ear and asked him how he felt about criticism this weekend from some NYT’s flack. Rubio sliced and diced wolfe’s argument. When is Wolfe going to realize that he just looks partisan and stupid?
Oh forgot. I witnessed a discussion today between an arab American and a jewish American. They are both several generation Americans. Anyway, the arab American made many good points about Israel but the one where he really got his points and those of us who witnessed the “discussion” felt he won hands down was when he said “Israel is the only democracy over there, we need to support it because it is a democracy and an island of sanity in the midst of insanity”. The other guy was suddenly at a loss for words and had “a meeting”.
Kevin, After reading dozens of conservative blogs every day for years to try to discover who this creature in the White House REALLY is and the powers behind him, I must thank you for being a leader in courageous and total honesty. Even so called far right bloggers fear to tell “the whole truth and nothing but the truth”. You are a fearless warrior for truth.
May God bless and keep you and may your heroic Crusade bring light to this country
There should be purple hearts for you and barenakedislam.
I’m getting the impression, watching ann debate some democratic flack on the Kudlow program that there might be a surprise tonight wherein he shows he deserved his Nobel Peace Prize because he’s made peace with Iran.
The flack is denying that Al k da is alive and well and thriving in the ME.
Basically saying OBI is dead, really dead while both ann and steele are talking.
Ann said the headline is “if obama is re elected we won’t bomb iran” which she just derived, spectacularly from this flack, steve on kudlow’s program.
Kevin, Libya was already Islamized. Libya was already a Sharia State.
People do not understand that what happened there was Gadhafi turning Libya into a Communist country. Libya is simply returning to what they were before Gadhafi and his coup.
However, the difference now is the impact and influence of Al Qaeda. This is a very genuine worry… and BB has been running around saying that AQ is diminished when it is not the truth.
Take out one leader, and a new one is found……
You missed a lot of the BIG things going on and not just in Libya. By failing to capture all of the Gadhafi family there is still plenty of room for them to play havoc within the world. Mali is one of the places where the Gadhafi family had been spreading terrorism. The Tuareg are followers of Gadhafi…. and the Tuareg are behind a lot of the violence. People from Mali were involved in the strike upon the US Embassy in Benghazi.
On top of that there has been a lot of unrest in Libya. There is fighting again in Bani Walid following the kidnap and murder of one of the leaders from Misrata. Needless to say Khamis Gadhafi has had another of his cat lives restored and is reported to be killed AGAIN!!
The remaining Gadhafi family took a lot of money with them. They have the means of sowing mayhem in Africa and the Middle East by using that money to create situations.
This is something that was never considered by BB prior to his decision to reduce security in Libya and to normalize, whatever that means.
Also, Romney needs to push on Fast and Furious because BB must have been the one who ordered the whole thing. It smacks of his style too.
No Kevin is correct. Egypt, Libya, Syria and even Saddam were less radical muslims than what is there now. Obama has put Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qeada in charge. The Muslim Brotherhood was connected to him in 2008 as they were with hillary through Huma.
I am so sick of Islam and their endless war between Shia and Sunni. The American people were dumb enough to elect a muslim after 9/11. They are brainwashed by TV and Fox is no better because their major financial backer is Saudi Arabia. They bankroll Murdoch and have deals with the other networks.
The American public has no clue. We had an islamic coup enabled by US TV with islamic shareholders and backers.
I hope Romney discusses the awful Rules of Engagement our troops are operating under which has resulted in more deaths / injuries…I sent in this tip to Team Romney, voters must be made aware of how O is conducting this war.
I also hope he brings up the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and the threat they bring to Israel and the West…all of Team O cheered the Arab Spring and said we had nothing to worry about?
Romney would be wise to discuss US currency devalution brought about by Ben at the Fed. It plays into the fiscal cliff we face which is our greatest national security threat. I honestly don’t know if I can watch the debate, it’s been a stressful few days so I may catch up on chores and watch clips later only after reading Kevin’s insightful write up.
Our troops have become targets in a shooting gallery like penny arcade bears. The entire govt is corrupt including the Pentagon and Joint Chiefs as they have allowed this. This also includes judges, CIA, FBI, NSA, Congress and others who have enabled him. F them.
Add in all TV, including Fox, and all of Hollywood. I boycotted TV and Hollywood after 2008 because they all support him. They will never get my money again.
So I’m just going to admit it…#1 made me all weepy! Yeah, I’m a mush. I said on one of your other articles that I was raised in a hugely patriotic, pro-military, flag-waving family. I am sickened that America elected a president who refuses to acknowledge American exceptionalism. It is time to kick his hind end to the curb and bring in a true patriot! I can’t wait to cast my ballot! for Romney!
This is a great article, Kevin – huge on insight.
I loathe the UN and Australia has just ‘bought’ a temporary seat!
Many Aussies are disgusted by this.
All the UN ever does is bash Israel,IMHO. And Israel is a member state.
And look how they abandoned Rwanda years ago?
Watch out for these UN treaties:
L.O.S.T.
Agenda 21 – scariest thing I have ever read.
Responsibility to Protect – R2P for short.
Also available in our very exclusive schools here is the International Baccalaureate which is the final 2 years of high school here.
This is a UN project also. Don’t know if it is available in the USA?
I have also heard Bathouse Barry has banned oil drilling in the USA in order to keep the Muslim ME in funds….makes sense to me.
All those NWO conspiracy theories are looking pretty real right now.
Let’s hope Romney wins and stops this insanity.
Looking back at the debate most of these points were right on as to what transpired. Libya didn’t come up more probably more for strategic reasons and the fact it has gotten more media attention.
