RSSMaking Sense of the Senseless
Gene Lalor | January 12, 2012
A dog biting a man, especially a mailman, isn’t news. An illegal alien staging a witchhunt and a conservative endorsing a liberal, now those are odd–yet explicable–news stories.
Barack Hussein Obama’s Kenyan Uncle Omar Onyango Obama, brother of the president’s “dear Aunt Zeituni” who was also a fugitive from immigration law until she miraculously was granted asylum, is fighting his August arrest.
One would think someone who sneaked into this country illegally and ended up arrested would try to keep a low profile or, if he had any sense of decency, hop the next Kenya Airways flight to Nairobi. Not so with Uncle Omar who is trying to get a Massachusetts court to turn over the driving record of the cop who arrested him for a DUI, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and failure to yield the right of way in Framingham, MA.

Notwithstanding established facts that Omar Onyango Obama flunked several sobriety tests with a reading of 0.14 percent on a blood-alcohol test, far beyond the Massachusetts’ legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, the high-powered lawyers of the president’s uncle are evidently attempting to impugn the officer’s integrity.
Also evident is that Uncle Omar has no fear of deportation.
After all, sister Zeituni beat that rap, went on to condemn “the system” that had discriminated against her, and is still on the Boston dole. Omar might be a leech like Zeituni but he knows his rights. When he was arrested, his first words were, “Take me to my leader.” Okay, more precisely, he said according to police records, “I think I will call the White House.”
See “The Curious Case of Uncle Omar,” http://bit.ly/AbgmZx.
I can understand the arrogance of Obama’s Uncle Omar, who was seen snickering at his arraignment, since Aunt Zeituni had already proven the inefficacy of America’s immigration law as well as the efficacy of presidential influence on behalf of his relatives.
Where and how the siblings, one unemployed and in public housing, the other a liquor store clerk, found the funds to retain attorneys and, in Zeituni’s case, file repeated appeals of deportation orders, is still a mystery but at least we know the basis of Onyango’s arrogance: He has a friend in the White House.
More mysterious is the matter of an outstanding conservative spokesman, John Bolton, endorsing for president of the United States a man whose conservative credentials are as ambiguous as those of Newt Gringich’s.
Wednesday evening, Bolton appeared on Greta Van Susteren’s “On the Record” where he seemed to back off his well-established conservatism with his endorsement.
An astute man, lawyer, advisor to presidents who served a tempestuous 16 months as United States Permanent Representative to the U.N., Bolton is nobody’s fool.
By endorsing Romney, he was actually practicing a practical conservatism, a thinking conservatism, a realistic conservatism rather than following the shoot-yourself-in-the-foot approach to politics often demonstrated by his compatriots on the Right.
That latter approach of conservatives who dream of another Ronald Reagan–or a Barry Goldwater–has all too often ended in defeat.
Bolton never contended in the Greta interview that Romney is his ideal candidate but rather feels the former Massachusetts governor is the best of the Republican field and, most importantly, that Romney can win and send our president back to his Chicago.
That possibility alone was sufficient for his support and his analysis of his reasoning restores my faith in John Bolton.
As he said, “I think Gov. Romney is the person who can best lead the party, best articulate our conservative principles and is most likely to beat Barack Obama.” He also points out that, unlike Obama, Romney believes in American exceptionalism, which is perhaps the nation’s most crying need today, a return to faith in our country as a model for the world, as “a shining city on a hill.”
With Gallup’s confirmation today that fully 40% of Americans consider themselves conservatives versus 21% who call themselves liberals, Bolton thinks we should go for the win and swallow our quibbles. As Bolton also said to Greta, ”Romney’s conservative enough for me, and I think he’s the one most likely to get elected, and I think that’s critical.”

At this juncture, after Iowa and New Hampshire, Mitt Romney seems to have a lock on the Republican nomination. Should he win South Carolina, conservatives will have various options–support the presumptive nominee, throw their backing to a nonentity, or go fishing on Election Day.
The only other option will be the re-election of Barack Obama.
As if we needed any further proof that the Obama administration is corrupt, Uncle Omar provided it with his cocksure statement to police, “I think I will call the White House.” If we needed an understanding of why we should support Mitt Romney, John Bolton provided it.
The alternative is unthinkable.
