Julia is a conservative comedian who bravely takes comedy club stages and makes jokes. She also, more importantly, blogs over at her GLOB about a variety of issues. Take a look, at her RSS feed to your reader, and be amused.
Haha, for some reason, her abortion joke gets me every time.
Clintonisms: The Amusing, Confusing, and Suspect Musing of Billary (edited by blogging friend Julia Gorin) is a book meant to amuse you, and yet it somehow also manages to make you wet yourself in nervousness at the prospect of Hillary Clinton becoming the next president of the United States. Indeed, the nervous laughter emanating from my and other Republicans' mouths is not because Hillary Clinton could very well be cantering herself toward the White House as we speak, but rather because she and her husband could both be cantering toward the most powerful position on Earth.
Clintonisms is a collection of quotes by the being known as "Billary" as well as their friends, acquaintances, staff and people who randomly met them, with a wonderfully hilarious forward by Julia. And it will make your skin crawl thinking of Hillary entering the White House.
In the forward, Julia asks the tough questions: "If Bill Clinton was the first black president, would that make Hillary Clinton the second black president? Or is Bill Clinton a self-loathing brother who married a white woman and is a traitor to his race?" These are simply questions that must be answered, and Julia is not afraid to go there.
Quick Snippets:
His Vivid and Painful ImaginationOne particularly interesting chapter was entitled "A Note of Thanks for All You Do", in which we are exposed to the treatment of Hillary's immediate staff throughout the years. She would often use profanity toward them, demand that they do things that were prohibited by their job descriptions and just be a general grump. One Arkansas State Trooper said, "We all got used to her screaming, 'Just get the hell away from me.'", and a secret service agent got a book in the back of the head thanks to Hillary. I'm sure that temper of hers won't flair up when she becomes president, right? Perhaps we can count on her to throw books at the terrorists rather than using manly weapons.
"I have vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child." --Bill Clinton, about his childhood in Arkansas, where there weren't any church burnings in that time period, June 8, 1996...
...Can Be Like Cuba?
"I pledge allegiance to the America that can be." --Hillary Clinton, as recalled by Chris Matthews, "Hardball", November 2001...
Viva La Revolución
"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices. Government has to make those choices for people." --Hillary Clinton, to Illinois Rep. Dennis Hastert about health care, 1993
We also get a view of the laws the Clintons have broken, the lies they have told, and the language they use to try to get around tough questions about their sketchy past actions.
I have recently been interested in the scandal involving Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky because only in recent years have I realized how strong of a case it really is. Liberals would have us believe it was "all about sex", but no, it wasn't. The president was a felon, and he lied under oath. With liberals proclaiming that we should all just "mind our own business", the fact remains that any question can be asked of you when you are under oath. You cannot lie, even if the question is "not the business" of the jury and judge.
Liar or Philosopher?Classic.
Q: Do you agree with me that the statement, "I was never alone with her," is incorrect? You were alone with Monica Lewinsky, weren't you?
A: Well again...it depends on how you define alone.
Julia's book can be ordered from Amazon.com here. You can visit the book's website at Clintonisms.com.
The United States has supported Kosovo in their declaration, and that is a big, big mistake. We can thank Bill Clinton for this—which will effectively create another Muslim state in Europe—because the only reason the United States is involved is because we went over there to help distract from Bill Clinton's personal problems.
Julia Gorin was kind enough to send me her new book, Clintonisms: The Amusing, Confusing, and Even Suspect Musing, of Billary, which is meant to be a humor/eye-opener book and I am finding myself more and more disconcerted as I read it. (Click image for Amazon link.) Today Julia blogs a Clintonism that was not included in the book:
Hillary Clinton biographer Gail Sheehy tells NBC’S DATELINE…that after the Monica Lewinsky affair was revealed, Hillary Clinton refused to speak to the President for eight months. According to Sheehy, the standoff did not end until one day in March, 1999 when Hillary called the president telling him to begin bombing Kosovo. Sheehy tells DATELINE’S Stone Phillips: “The day after she said that, he [Bill Clinton] announced that he was informing his NATO allies that he was recommending a bombing campaign.”– Matt Drudge, November 24, 1999, regarding a November 29th broadcast of “Dateline”
I am not posting this to be gossipy. I am posting it to show what lengths the Clintons have gone to in the past in order to cover things up. (Killing foreigners in Serbia.)
Indeed, I have searched the internet for non-religious arguments regarding homosexuality/gay marriage, and I've found few. Though Julia Gorin is, in fact, Jewish (though I don't know her well enough yet to know if she's a Jew Jew, or a "Jew" Jew; I assume the former from a comment she made in a recent article of hers) she talks about homosexuality from a secular perspective, which is kind of nice. Being a Christian ex-gay myself, I kind of know the arguments from a spiritual side well enough to get bored with the subject. And Julia seems like the kind of person who probably has many gay friends, too, so don't think that I'm trying to paint her as being anti-homosexual.
Homosexuality is quite mysterious, even for homosexuals. If you can get people to actually think about the roots of homosexuality—that is, are you born this way or not?—the answer is not always an emphatic "Yes!" Indeed, as I've said before, just because some 17 year-old gay guy that works at the Gap is "sure" that he was born that way doesn't make it so. We don't automatically know everything that we were born with. Some things, like our arms, are there in the delivery room. But other things—like our personality, our mental stability and our sexual urges and orientation—are not apparent as we take our first breath. While it is common belief that our personalities are mostly shaped by our upbringing, apparently sexual preference is the exception.
And I don't know why people get so snippy when you compare homosexual desire to a pedophilic desire. They are both, in fact, sexual preferences. One is a sexual preference toward someone of the same sex, the other toward a child. There are, of course, a slew of other disturbing sexual "preferences" that can cause you to get locked up. Apparently, however, homosexuality is somehow different than a NAMBLA relationship.
Tonight I'll probably collect some of my favorite Julia/Jewish World Review quotes and post them.
Julia Gorin amused me this morning. Reporting on the recent news that now "Mohammed" is the second most popular name in Britain. Julia added:
"Brits were appalled by the news. They’d thought 'Mohammed' would be the most popular name, and they blasted themselves for their intolerance."Julia is a favorite blogger of mine, who (regularly) keeps track of the damage that we've done in the Balkins in order to help President You-Know-Who distract from his personal problems.
