"Now is the seedtime of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now, will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; the wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity read in it full grown characters."

Puppy Crawls Home

It took him two weeks, because of his broken legs, yet this puppy kept fighting to get home. Can you imagine the two weeks of pain he endured crawling on these broken legs? Poor guy. He still has some pain to endure but his owners immediately took him to the vet to get his legs fixed up. His name is Mason. Here is wishing Mason a speedy recovery.

Inner Banks Humor - Obama Is So Smart He Sounds Dumb?

"It's not that Obama can't speak clearly. It's that he employs the intellectual stammer. Not to be confused with a stutter, which the president decidedly does not have, the intellectual stammer signals a brain that is moving so fast that the mouth can't keep up."

-- Meghan Daum [Obama sycophant]


With advanced degrees from Yale and Harvard, can you explain why that was not true when George W. Bush made a mistake?

ROTFL

Obama Is Stuck In 2008

Had any Republican President made such an incredible mistake it would have been proof, endlessly ridiculed, that he was a dunce. Barack Obama signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey with the year 2008, right here in the middle of 2011. He probably would have gotten the month and day wrong but he asked a bystander. They told him May 24 but assumed he would know the year. He didn't. Is he really that out of touch? Sheesh!

No President in history has ever made as many mental bungles as Barack Hussien Obama II. Remember the "57 state, one to go" gaffe? Or how about the gaffe when he insisted that 10,000 people in Kansas had died from a tornado, "An entire town" according to Obama? Do you still remember when Obama insisted that there were dead heroes in his audience? How about when he got lost in his speech and started introducing people he had already introduced? He followed it up by a tone deaf toast to the Queen of England, droning on even while the orchestra played "God save the Queen". It showed Obama's narcissistic self absorbed unawareness of others. You almost want to ask if he is drunk, or on drugs? Yet our press ignores these bizarre errors. Why?

I repeat. No President in history has ever made as many mental bungles as Barack Hussien Obama II. And yet the left still calls him brilliant. No stupid failure will ever change their mind.

"No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the aid of foreign Invaders."

Greatest new joke of the day. Liberals accuse Herman Cain for President supporters of being "racist"!

Inner Banks Trivia

How you are raised tells a lot about the character you acquire in life. A young Bibi Netanyahu on the left. A young Barry Soetoro (as he was known at the time) on the right. Netanyahu became commander of the Israeli elite special forces unit, Sayeret Matkal, one of the toughest in the world. The radical Marxist Barry changed his name back to Barack Hussein Obama II and became a community organizer, whatever that is.

Conservative Public School Teacher Calls Florida Exam 'Soviet Style Propaganda'

by Kyle Olson - May 18th, 2011 - Big Government

There are many conservative teachers sounding the alarm about the hijacking of their profession and the radicalization of school curriculums by left-wing union leaders. Exhibit A: Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis saying they’re not teachers but “education workers.”

Dean Kalahar is a Sarasota, Florida high school economics teacher. On his blog, he says his guiding principles include private property rights, free market entrepreneurial capitalism and the U.S. Constitution.

Kalahar recently brought attention to the new Florida high school senior exit exam, which he says will “indoctrinate children into a progressive and revisionist model critical of America.”

It is sad when parents who love America send their children to public school to be indoctrinated into left wing radical thought. Who would expect an assumptive question like "Analyze the major factors that drove American Imperialism?" to be on a school test. It is not much different than "Have you stopped beating your wife?" but with a political motive. Yet the first is actually a typical test question in the standard curriculum of public schools today. Despite this, radical left wing extremists insist they have not hijacked the curriculum and smear those who complain as not fit to teach.

If we don't wake up soon, it will be too late to save our nation.

Inner Banks Politics - Republican Reminder

Some Republicans have chastised Obama for a number of shortcomings that George W. Bush is actually responsible for too. This does not mean Obama has not made our economy worse. Nor does it mean Obama necessarily has a different position. It is just a reminder of how badly we were damaged with a massive increase in government before Obama made it worse.

Deficits of record magnitude? Bush.
The bailout of banks? Bush.
The bailout of auto companies? Bush.
Government take-over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Bush.
Adding a new entitlement to the tune of almost $8 trillion in unfunded government liabilities? Bush. (Medicare Part-D -- more than the entire unfunded liability of Social Security)
Ethanol subsidies? Expanded by Bush.
Outlawing light bulbs? Bush.
"Comprehensive" immigration reform? Bush.
Campaign Finance Reform? Bush signed it into law.
No Child Left Behind? Bush signed it into law.

Inner Banks Humor - MSM

A Yemeni Muslim charges up the aisle of his airplane and pounds on the cockpit door shouting “Allahu Akbar”. The MSM fails to report he is a Muslim. They instead report that he was "confused and delusional" and authorities are talking with his friends and family seeking "to determine his motivation."

Yeah. That's a tough one.

Jane Fonda Draws Raves At Cannes

What do you call a traitor who is famous, rich, physically fit, good looking, well connected, politically correct and stars in a movie?

Why traitor of course!

Osama Dissed

For those of us not into computer gaming this picture takes an explanation. The Term "PWND" is shorthand for Permanently Owned, and it is a bragging expression used when one gamer convincingly beats another. This picture appeared all over the Internet as T-Shirts and posters almost immediately after Osama was killed and is likely to be something you see on the street soon. 

Inner Banks Quote

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized."

-- Edward Bernays


It is amusing how the left wing adores those like Bernays and Alinsky who have mastered the "big lie" as "higher truth". Both Bernays, the inventor of 'corrupt advertising', and Alinsky, the inventor of 'hate politics' are idolized by Democrats.

Unemployment Statistics

The national unemployment rate has returned to 9%. So much for the delusion that increasing the price of oil would not damage our economy.

Drill, damn it, drill.

Inner Banks Humor

What an incredible mistake. The extreme left wing news site Mediaite has posted an article that mis-identifies Debra Burlingame (the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that was flown into the Pentagon on 9/11) as a widow.

They refuse to change the title of the article - arguing that it properly identifies her biases to the public at large. What does calling a sister a widow accomplish? How does it communicate her bias? Could it be the bias is all on the side of Mediaite? Or is it just proof they are a joke. They are certainly morons.

N.C. Volunteers Sprang Into Action After Storm

by Jeff Hampton - May 1st, 2011 - The Virginian-Pilot

Fire Chief Milton Felton watched from his kitchen window as the giant twister barreled over an open field. It had already demolished a nearby mobile home park and killed a woman, and it was moving fast.

Felton and his wife, Mary, a registered nurse, jumped in his truck and sped toward Glovers Cross Road about two miles away and in the tornado's path. He called members of the Cole-rain Volunteer Fire Department and chiefs in other communities for help.

A great article about our local volunteers and the incredible job they performed in response to the monster Askweville-Colerain tornado.

Inner Banks Thoughts

Want to hear the most cynical explanation offered for how we got Usama Bin Laden? An intelligence analyst who wishes to remain anonymous has offered the following hypothesis:

Barack Obama wanted to get out of his commitment that Afghanistan was the "good war" and Pakistan wanted America out of their back yard. So a deal was done. Pakistan helped us get Usama Bin Laden and the quid pro quo will be an early departure from Afghanistan.

If the next thing we hear is Barack Obama insisting we can now leave Afghanistan, just remember you heard it here first.
