The TCOTS Six Days Of Cheesecake: Saturday
All good things must come to an end — that is a fact of life [and, therefore, a conservative truth] and so we must end the week-long celebration of the Fifth Anniversary of these Dispatches.
I don’t know about you, but, for the gang here at TCOTS, it was A Swingin’ Affair. Thanks to all of those who linked and re-Tweeted these celebratory posts — mere words cannot describe how appreciative we are here in the Tiki Bar & Lounge [we have pictures, but they would get us all barred from polite society]. Thanks too to all of you who sent along your congrats — we love you all [in a non-sexual, manly man way].
This year, instead of featuring the work of various photographers across the decades, TCOTS is showcasing the work of one of the best pin-up photographers in the business today.
Celeste Giuliano is an artist who specializes in recreating classic pin-up and glamour shots and her work has been justly praised across the world.
And now, herewith, forthwith, with a fifth, the last post in this series for this year…
EXCELSIOR!…
‘In The Arms Of The Ruling Class’
As I made clear on Tuesday:
I have absolutely no expectations that the Republicans in the Congress will do the right and proper thing regarding the scandals with the DOJ, the IRS, the EPA, Sebelius, or Benghazi. None. Nada. Diddley.
My Friend In The Ether Jeff Goldstein agrees. Commenting on a typically idiotic column by Erza Klein, he remarks:
The truth is, Obama and Holder and Hillary Clinton likely won’t fall because they will find protection in the arms of the ruling class, while lower-level functionaries will act as fall guys and scapegoats. And that’s because it is, as I’ve been saying, not a real two-party system any longer, but rather the ruling class vs. the rest of us.
Congress never pressed the IRS issue. Boehner is resisting calls to impanel a special committee on Benghazi, and the AP, once they get over the butt hurt of realizing that, for all the cover they’ve given progressives, ObamaCo just really isn’t all that into them, will go right back to fluffing up the President, rationalizing to themselves that they are making a sacrifice to the greater good. There has been no special prosecutor called for in the House to look into the IRS; the Senate is giving us Carl Levin and Max Baucus as investigators — two men who themselves engaged in the very conduct that politicians are now pretending to be outraged by.
So let’s not be coy: if the scandals fall apart it won’t be because no scandals existed, as Klein wants to pretend. Instead, it will be because the ruling class and their parasitic fluffers like Klein care more about the furtherance of big government statism than they do about truth or justice or the people they ostensibly represent or keep informed while working diligently to do neither.
The Left In America, like the Leftist cockroaches that crawl about the rest of the world, value the ideas and goals that make up their Ideology more than they do their fellow living, breathing Human Beings.
They will sacrifice anything and everything — including their dignity, their pride, their family, friends, and allies — if those things and people block them in any way as they race down the road to Heaven On Earth.
Everything in life pales next to their vision of Utopia — please remember this when you are dealing with any Leftist, I beg of you. None of them can be trusted to do the right thing. They are Nihilists — haters of Life.

O, That Way Madness Lies…
…Let me shun that; No more of that.
From Stacy McCain, we learn:
When last we checked in on Think Progress award-winning blogger Meg Lanker-Simons, the progressive feminist was charged with making a fake Facebook threat to “hate-f*ck” herself. Now it turns out that “Meg Lanker-Simons” is the alias of a dangerously crazy criminal formerly known as Meghan Michelena, who in 2006 pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after getting fired from a Wyoming radio station.
Leftism is truly a mental disease and this sorry-excuse for a Human Being is the latest poster child for it. As Stacy remarks: ‘She is the visible tip of a vast submerged iceberg of craziness’. Indeed.
Think about it: a Leftist believes that they are not bound by any restraints because Morality and Tradition and Truth are ‘constructs’ of an oppressive aristocracy [who are pretty much all men!]. This ruling group is preventing men and women from achieving their true potential: assuming their role as gods who will rid the world of all it’s meanness and nastiness. With a wave of Ideology’s magical wand, the experience of thousands of years of Human Experience will be consigned down a memory hole and peace will guide the planets…and lo-ove will steer the stars; it will be the dawning of the Age Of Aquarius…
Harmony and understanding Sympathy and trust abounding No more falsehoods or derisions Golden living dreams of visions Mystic crystal revelation And the mind's true liberation Aquarius! Aquarius!
Strip away the overlaying specifics, probe deep into the core of their thinking, and this is what the majority of Progressives believe.
And such belief is pure madness.
I dare anyone to provide proof that this is not what most Leftists are seeking.
A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.

@SarahPalinUSA Rips Obama A New One
Her latest posting on Facebook is worth quoting in full [tip of the fedora to Arko Leviathan via Luke K-Ski]:
Scandalous Hat Trick
Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. Today in the Rose Garden you dismissed the idea of a Special Counsel to investigate the IRS scandal. With that, your galling political hubris shined bright in the midst of today’s dark clouds.
Mr. President, how can we trust your Justice Department to conduct an independent investigation when there is a systemic violation of the Hatch Act throughout your administration?
Surely you are aware that the Hatch Act prevents certain federal employees from engaging in political activity. Specifically, it’s illegal for these federal employees to engage in action in support of or in opposition to a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group.
Yet that is exactly what’s happened within the IRS, the Justice Department, and in the Benghazi cover-up. This scandalous hat trick is on your watch. It is not believable that you knew nothing about Obama administration actions in dealing with these scandals. And in regards to Benghazi, when you should have taken appropriate action to save American lives – for instance by calling in the Marines – you were AWOL. Just weeks before the election your team scrubbed the Benghazi talking points in 12 different versions, lied to the American people about some YouTube video being to blame for the deaths of brave Americans who put our country first, and you prove Michael Barone right when he writes, “What actually happened in Benghazi was out of sync with the Obama campaign line.” That’s why you all did what you did. Pure raw politics were at play during a horrific time of loss.
For more evidence of Hatch Act violations right under your nose, simply consider DOJ’s “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into the free press. Do you think they picked up some political talk when tapping the phones in the House press gallery?
Your team is out of control. Those who cannot remember the past and learn from it are doomed to repeat it, and that is exactly what is happening. Look back exactly 40 years ago this week and apply that disheartening chapter of American history to the team you’ve chosen and lead today.
Some of us warned America; we cautioned voters in 2008 that a community organizer with no executive experience and no sense of accountability would be a very poor choice for the nation’s top management position.
Mr. President, you said today that you have “complete confidence” in the Attorney General. America doesn’t. Eric Holder needs to appoint an unbiased Special Counsel to investigate the illegal political action of this administration. And then Eric Holder needs to resign.
Most Americans see ominous dark clouds looming beyond the White House Rose Garden, Mr. President. They’ll roll away only when light is shined on the Obama administration’s antics, and America will only recover when you cease avoiding responsibility in this mission of yours to fundamentally transform America. For that to happen, the press had better learn from their experiences of being duped and provide a deserving public fairer, more intelligent coverage.
Speaking of coverage, glad you finally called in the Marines… shame it was just to hold your umbrella.
It’s a shame they weren’t there to escort this disgrace from The White House grounds.

Dzhokhar And Barry Sitting In A Tree…
Blaming Bushy, Hee, Hee, Hee
From CBS News [emphasis mine]:
Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a note claiming responsibility for the April 15 attack on the Boston Marathon, reports CBS News senior correspondent John Miller.
Sources tell Miller that Tsarnaev wrote the note in the boat he was hiding in as police pursued him, and as he bled from gunshot wounds sustained in an earlier shootout between police and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. It reads as part manifesto, part suicide note and part justification for the killing and maiming of innocent civilians.
The note — scrawled with a marker on the interior wall of the cabin — said the bombings were retribution for U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and called the Boston victims “collateral damage” in the same way Muslims have been in the American-led wars. “When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims,” Tsarnaev wrote.
So…both Obama and Gilligan have somthing in common: they like to blame George Bush for their problems.
#ROS – Resist, Obstruct, Sabotage – Tyranny
We may have to think about this…
Why is it that the left are the only people in this country who can resist, who can obstruct, who can sabotage?
I say we resist and where we can obstruct and where we can sabotage tyranny.
What do you say?
—Mark Levin on his radio show, November 2012
I said ‘Yes’ back then and have posted his quote several times since. I even placed in permanently in the right-hand column as a declaration of my attitude living in The Age Of Obama.
Via Ken Shepherd, over at Newbusters, we learn of one effective and first-rate way to conduct obstruction activities:
Chris Moody of Yahoo! News has a great story this afternoon about the saga the conservative media watchdogs at MediaTrackers had with the Obama IRS. The long and short of it is that after after waiting for more than a year for IRS to approve his 501(c)3 application for the group, conservative activist Drew Ryun "determined that Media Trackers would likely never obtain standalone nonprofit status" and so he "tried a new approach," applying as a nonprofit under the name "Greenhouse Solutions" which was "a pre-existing organization that was reaching the end of its determination period."
And wouldn’t you know it, Moody noted, "[t]he IRS approved Greenhouse Solutions’ request for permanent nonprofit status in three weeks".
Stick your hands right into the guts of The Beast and give the rat bastards a tickle.
‘Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke’, is one of my guiding beliefs.
Resistentiam Tyrannis nunc.
Resistentiam Tyrannis saecula.
PROSCRIPTUS!
Resistance to Tyranny now.
Resistance to Tyranny forever.
OUTLAWS!

#Scandals – Trust Not What Your Congress Can Do For You
I have absolutely no expectations that the Republicans in the Congress will do the right and proper thing regarding the scandals with the DOJ, the IRS, the EPA, Sebelius, or Benghazi. None. Nada. Diddley.
Protein Wisdom commentator Palaeomerus agrees, but is much more eloquent about it [damn him]:
Without people to demand that things get real and force the issue, beyond the gates of temerity, and the high stone walls of hubris, not to mention the draw bridge and porticulus of grandiose delusion, should they be denied, then they WON’T get real. Too many people have been convinced that we are living in magical, post-real world and that our rights can be unilaterally toggled off by mere declarations of good intentions made on the behalf of our betters.
One might say that for most people in The United States life is forever surreal, so determined they are to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no Truth.
I will heed the Biblical warning ‘Put not your trust in princes‘ until what should happen happens and true, real Justice is done and completed.
Until then, I remain…
Your Humble and Relentless Cynic…
B. Belvedere.
The Spot-On Quote Of The Day…
…is awarded to Rosalie, frequent commentator over at The Other McCain, for asking the right question in response to Planned Parenthood and NARAL’s reactions to the Gosnell verdict. It’s a question that should be asked even if the trial never happened:
…Could any normal woman work for an outfit like that?
Spot-on and dead solid perfect.
The ideas behind all of the various cliques of Leftism are not normal; they are perverse. They are the exact opposite of the ideas that animate The American Republic.
Where we believe that our rights come from Nature’s God, the Left believes that governments grant rights [really, if they could get away with it, they would call them 'privileges'].
The Left believes that societies should be ruled by a system of ideas [aka: Ideology] and that people can be perfected
We believe that experience, prudence, continuity in action, and an understanding that Man can not be perfected should guide our actions.
The Left believes in breaking totally with the past, in denying it’s positive relevance to living our lives.
We believe, along with Edmund Burke, that ‘Society is a contract between the past, the present and those yet unborn’.
Any variation from the normal, from the sane and the rational, is perverse, and the Left denies such things, therefore, it is perverse.
As it is perverse in the main sense of the word, the Left, not surprisingly, advocates for the perverse in all areas of Life, especially when it comes to the natures of men and women and, frighteningly, when it comes to matters sexual.
