HALF-FULL REPORT 05/09/08

The HFR opens this week by celebrating Naqba – that glorious event the suicidal schmucks of the Arab world, the Palestinians, call "the Catastrophe."  Yes, the creation of Israel 60 years ago in May of 1948 was a catastrophe for people filled with envy and hate.  But for anyone who admires triumphs of the human spirit, the existence of Israel is not just something to celebrate on its 60^th birthday, but every single day.

Because every single day, Israel has to fight for its existence, for its right to exist.  America is such a giant country it's hard for us to comprehend how tiny Israel is:  it's smaller than New Jersey.  Its 5½ million Jews are surrounded by tens of millions of Arabs who hate them just as did the Nazis. 

Yet Israel continues to succeed and flourish, while the Naqbatinians continue to wallow in spite and masochistic misery.  The HFR today raises a glass of Manischewitz to salute the incredibly inspiring courage of the people of Israel.  L'Chaim!

From one inspiring story to another.  The HFR raises a glass of Chianti to a great Italian, Roberto Calderoli.

Silvio Berlusconi was sworn in today as Italy's Prime Minister.  Earlier in the week, he named his Cabinet.  His Minister of Legislative Simplification – in charge of reducing government rules, regulation, and red tape (obviously something needed in the US government) is Roberto Calderoli.

The government of Libya had threatened (last Friday, 5/02) Berlusconi with "catastrophic consequences" should Calderoli be appointed.  That was because in February of 2006, Calderoli, a leader of Italy's Northern League Party, appeared in an interview on national television wearing a t-shirt with cartoons of Mohammed – in sympathy with the Danish cartoonists who drew them.

This sparked riots in Libya (a former colony of Italy) of such violence that 11 people died.  Naturally, the Libyans blamed Calderoli for the deaths, calling him a murderer, and didn't take responsibility for their childish fanaticism.

Berlusconi's response to the Libyans' threat was to give them the finger and promptly confirm Calderoli's appointment.  But it's not just Silvio – a clear majority of Italians is also flipping the bird to Moslems.

A recent poll reveals that over 60% of Italians oppose allowing Moslems – of whom over a million have immigrated to Italy in the past few years from African countries like Libya – to practice Islam and build mosques without reciprocity, such as Christians being free to practice their faith in Moslem countries.  Over 55% think Moslem immigration to Italy is "harmful."

The Islamization of Europe is being halted in Italy.  It might even be reversed.  That calls for a second glass of Chianti.

The HFR switches to Chablis to look down its nose at all the white wine liberals in such a tizzy over Hillary Clinton's channeling George Wallace by saying "hard working white Americans support me."  Then her key advisor Paul Begala had the chutzpah to point out an obvious truth:  that "Obama can't win with just the eggheads and African-Americans."

So the fun continues.  The HFR hopes that the Clintonites will respond to charges of racism with the question:  "Ah, and 90% of blacks voting for Obama isn't racist?  Of course it is."  The great beauty of this emerging Race War is that it's within the Dems while the Republicans are blameless spectators.

So here is the HFR's prediction.  Hillary turns 61 in October, 65 by the 2012 election.  If she can't destroy Obambi soon so that he gets the nomination, she will sabotage any chance he has in November – even if she's his VP pick.  That's so she can be the nominee for 2012, against a 76 year old McCain who may not even run after one term. 

She stands little chance of grabbing the nomination from an incumbent Obambi.  2016, she's too old.  2012 is her last shot.  So she'll submarine Obambi, then go back to the Senate where she'll torpedo Harry Reid so she can be Majority Leader.  Teaming up with Pelosi Galore – two women in charge of Congress, women on top! – she's in an ideal position for a run for the 2012 roses.

The Dem bigwigs and moonbats who run and finance the party won't let her do this.  They'll hate her for crucifying their messiah – in fact, they already do.  But that's her plan, and the HFR wishes her best of luck.

We close with two additional indications of why Obambi Hussein is going to lose.

First, though, a note on why Woody Jenkins lost his race for Congress in Louisiana.  The Dems are trying to make a big deal out of this – a seat lost that the GOP has had since 1974 spells GOP disaster in November – but the reason is very simple:  Katrina.  Tens of thousands of blacks were flushed out of New Orleans' corrupt 9^th Ward and settled in Baton Rouge, radically shifting the political demographics of the district.  These new black residents dutifully voted en masse for the Dem, yet Woody still lost by less than 3,000 votes out of over 100,000 cast.  So his loss portends nothing.

But this picture portends Obambi's loss:

That's Obambi's political mentor, 1960s terrorist Bill Ayers, whom Obambi described as just an English professor whose radical days were 40 years ago.  That Ayers still has contempt and hate for America is shown by his stomping on the American flag in 2001.  The picture epitomizes Obambi's contempt for America and its bitter-clingy people.

The Ayers picture is all over the blogosphere – but somehow, the libs at Google have deleted it.  No matter.  The picture will become iconic of what Obambi stands for.

Then there's this inspiring indication of how much Americans will reject Obambi's left-wing radicalism.  Try on this headline:  U.S. consumers rank last in world survey of green habits.  Isn't that wonderful?

After drowning in an endless tsunami of browbeating by the leftie media, demanding Americans sacrifice and "go green," Americans could care less.  They come in absolute last in the "Greendex" of people around the world who worry that their lifestyle may be "harming the environment."  There's hope for us yet, folks!  Americans still have the capacity to think for themselves and not be conned by eco-moonbat propaganda.

And if they can't be conned into caring about being greenie, there's a good chance they won't be conned by Obambi Hussein in November.  Where's that bottle of Chianti?
