Here's something to keep in mind, as you consider the current Democrat government.
Saturday, November 07, 2009
ObamaCare just passed the House or Representatives.
I weep for my country.
I weep for my country.
From what I can tell from listening to the legacy media, Maj. Hasan's religion apparently had nothing to do with his murderous rampage. You know, despite the whole "Allahu Akbar" "shout out" as we was going about killing people.
Quick thought experiment: Imagine his name was "Sullivan," or some such, that he was a devout Roman Catholic, that his TV was tuned to Fox News, that he'd attended a couple of "Tea Party" protests, and that his bookshelf had books by, oh, Glenn Beck, Anne Coulter, and/or Rush Limbaugh. With that in mind, imagine what the coverage would be like. Imagine, in such circumstances, the President asking us not to jump to conclusions. Imagine Chris Matthews telling us it was unclear whether religion was a factor.

So, Queen AntoinetteSpeaker Pelosi intends to pass a bill that demands we buy $15,000 health insurance policies or go to jail.
You know, I think we're not too far from the days of Imperial Rome, when the Emperor would murder rich men for their fortunes, to keep the "free" bread and circuses going a little longer.
If the Democrats get their way, nothing will cost more and provide less than "free" "health care."

I thought it'd take until Christmas to see employment above 10%.
I was too optimistic, by six weeks.
Hope! Change! Funemployment!

Major Hasan started his killing spree at 1:30 PM CST - 2:30 PM EST.
President Obama came on TV at 5:00 PM EST. At that time he spent two or three minutes shuckin', jivin', and issuing shout-outs before finally mentioning the massacre at Fort Hood.
THE MAN HAD TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS TO PREPARE, AND HE STARTS WITH SHUCKIN', AND JIVIN', AND SHOUT-OUTS!!!!!
Some people are calling this President Obama's "My Pet Goat" moment. In fact, it's much worse. President Bush, informed of the attacks on the World Trade Center, calmly finished talking to the kids, excused himself, and started to deal, within minutes.
This bozo had hours to compose himself, and this was the best he could do.
I have no doubt our enemies are howling with laughter this day, and preparing to bring America low.
The 2010 elections can't come quickly enough. The faster this moron presidency is neutered, the better for all of us.
UPDATE: In his "shout-out," the President mentioned someone or other as a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Turns out the guy was not such a recipient. It really is amateur hour at the White House. Bad things are going to happen to this country in the next year, principally because the President is a bozo.

Just caught this, by way of CNN, as mouthpiece for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
I really wish CAIR would issue these things, oh, preemptively.
You know, issue statements asking those who feel the need to come down with Sudden Jihad Syndrome to go to their shrinks. Certainly not their imams: don't want to encourage them.
But no. Instead, it's wait 'til some Muslim psycho kills a bunch of people, and then go all scared about the general reaction - that right-thinking people might act on the understandable urge to crucify any Muslim in their neighborhoods. Gull the kufrs into waiting for the next psycho, and the next statement.
CAIR, carefully examined, is really nothing but a part of the Muslim violence being done to Western Civilization in general. It allows us no response in general, nor in particular. Taken in earnest, all CAIR allows us is the chance to take more of the same.
To hell with that. I say we start killing Muslims in the streets, wherever we find them, and then issuing statements hoping the Christians will nonetheless be well-treated, that they're the victims, that they're the one who mus be understood.
Right. Like that's going to happen.
Christians are actually civilized. Too civilized to do that sort of thing. We're going to have our backs against the walls before we react appropriately against these savages.
Still, we do have the French example of St. Bartholomew's Day.
In the interim, I think all non-Muslims should retreat from dar-al-Islam into dar-al-Harb and sit there, mocking these obvious losers.
For, you see, minus their Brit combat jackets, Phillips mics, Sony cameras, American (laminated) maps, Russian assault rifles, etc., most Muslim terrorists are nothing but angry, sexually-frustrated men in yak-hair underwear.
Where is the Arab Nobel Award in Science? Medicine? Where is the Arab car company? The Muslim aerospace company? How many books are translated from, oh, English to Arabic every year? From Arabic to English? Apart from oil, terrorism, and honor killings, what does the Muslim world export? Minus oil, Muslim exports to the world are less than Finland's. That's a billion people, producing less for export than tiny Finland. How does the Muslim world deal with this massive fail? Why, by hating on the Great- and Little-Satan. God forbid they should own their fail.
Back in the day, we ringed the Soviet Union, penned it in, until it collapsed on itself. We need the same against the Muslim world. Ring them. Pen them in. Let them stew, turn in on themselves, and collapse into their own tiny singularity of hatred.

It appears that a muslim by the name of Malik Nadal Hasan, with the rank of Major in the US Army, has killed 13 people and injured 31 others at Ft. Hood, Texas.
Muslim. Mass murder.
Barack Hussein Obama, Commander in Chief of the US military, has been having a hard time making a coherent statement about this event. Probably something to do with the recent elections and his distance in time from the last President. Still, we'll surely be hearing by tomorrow morning that "Bush did it because of Sarah Palin!" or some such.
After offering prayers for the families of the dead, my later reaction is to wonder whether there's any chance we might stop importing honor killers and such middle eastern filth. Just leave them where they are in the twin open festering sewers that are their countries and religion.
Ring them, pen them in. Let them collapse in on themselves, just as the Soviet Union did.

India abandons the dollar, in favor of gold.
Another $20, and I'll start selling my gold and buying ammo and food.
Oh. Sorry. "Hope!" "Change!" "More Cowbell!"

What a difference a year makes.
A year ago, The Won won, and the Republican Party was about to disappear from the American political stage. Or so people like E.J. Dionne had it. Today, Virginia and New Jersey (*NEW JERSEY!!!!*) rejected socialism and Obama in general, and went into the Republican line.
You doubt the moment? Look at the news on health caretakeoverreform. Done. Cooked. Put a fork in it. See you next decade. Pelosi's 1990-page opus is on fire, and scorching her and wossname, Reid. (BTW, if Reid gets re-elected next year, it will only be by way of a pact with the Devil. He is that *hated* in Nevada.)
So, just where exactly is Obama? Cap-and-tax? Dead. Health care takeover? Dead. He does own two dying car companies, and some rapidly exsanguinating banks. What else was he trying to accomplish? Oh. Right. Afghanistan. Well, he's going to dither politically, while actual people die.
His presidency is toast, as of this evening.
Or, maybe not. This is the point where we find out whether he's an ideologue, or a practical politician. My expectation? More hard-left stupidity: He hasn't even the smarts of a rapist like Bill Clinton.
He can start scolding us like Carter, or triangulating like Clinton. Expect Carter. A President who goes on "Date Night" during a war is de facto a Carter. I await a White House note about the accidental death of a cat (Dario Fo, where are you?!?!?!!!!)
IMHO, The Won's Presidency is toast, this evening.
Oh, by the way, don't miss the Tea Party at the Capitol, this Thursday. Let's put a stake through the heart of this socialist government, while we can.

So, there I was, wondering why it was so important for the Democrat party to push through a health-care reform plan fewer and fewer people want, a plan that may cost some Democrats their offices, a plan that may in fact cause Democrats the next election.
Then it hit me. If they can get this, they're on the way to being the permanent majority.
Think about it: they get a government plan that includes 100% of Americans. Then, at every election, they can scream about Republicans, and their plans to cut health care spending, and be talking about a program that affects 100% of the electorate, and a program nobody will want to see cut.
It's perfect! It's brilliant!
Of course, as spending on health care balloons, and balloon it will, there'll be less money for non-essentials like, oh, Defense, and certainly requirements for higher taxes on those who can't buy a Congressperson or two to slip in a few handy tax advantages.
In other words, we'll become Europeans. But the Democrats will be permanently in charge so, you know, mission accomplished.
UPDATE: Mark Steyn makes the same point, some days later.

It looks likely the Democrats will continue to take money from you at gunpoint in order to continue funding to an organization that provides advice on tax-evasion to pimps and hoes.
One supposes the Democrats recognizes a core constituency.

So, The Won will not be going to Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Olympics for Chicago? Quick hop to Denmark.
Nobel Award? Quick hop to Norway.
Forty one years of Hot and Cold War after the Russians inspired the Berlin airlift, WE prevailed, and THEY lost. And The Won cannot be bothered to celebrate.
What a complete dick.
This probably means he's got some secret diplomacy going on that needs Russian acquiescence. He appears to have forgotten he's dealing with the land of Ivan the Terrible, Stalin, and the knout. You don't impress the Russians by poncing along the Tiergarten, giving airy-fairy speeches you repudiate in less than a year. You impress the Russians by kicking them out of Afghanistan, Central America, and Grenada. Acquiescence gets you nothing with the Russians.
Mark it: within six months we'll hear of some failed no-longer-secret diplomatic gambit whose success depended, on other things, on The Won being absent from celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Won: Hooked; fished in.
