Oh My.

The worst Obama appointment yet can you believe.

Norm on Obama’s Cairo Speech.

Some reactions to the Obama speech

Some strange reactions is what I mean. A Times leader this morning:

He did not, sadly, address the issue of democracy.

I could swear I heard him doing so: ‘the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed; confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice; government that is transparent and doesn’t steal from the people; the freedom to live as you choose’; ‘there are some who advocate for democracy only when they are out of power’; ‘government of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who hold power: you must maintain your power through consent, not coercion; you must respect the rights of minorities’; and so forth. The Times’s own correspondent, James Hider, also noticed. Stranger still, here’s a researcher for Human Rights Watch for whom what Obama said about human rights was less satisfactory than what Condoleezza Rice said four years before him in the same city. Obama, she thinks, didn’t go beyond generalities. No, but the burden of them was entirely clear. What is more, one of those generalities sounded pretty much like this, the words of none other than Condoleezza Rice: ‘America will not impose our style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, to attain their own freedom, make their own way.’

Then there is the suggestion that merely by including a reference to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa in the same speech as a discussion of Israel and Palestine, Obama might be taken to have licensed the Israel/apartheid analogy. He did no such thing. The South Africa reference came in a passage designed to illustrate the point that violent resistance is ‘a dead end’ – nothing more. Otherwise we should have to conclude that Obama sees the situation of the Palestinians as similar to that of the Jews during the Holocaust – on the grounds that, not merely in the same speech, but in two consecutive paragraphs, he spoke first of the Holocaust and then of the plight of the Palestinians. These are whimsical interpretations.

Finally Ahdaf Soueif, for her part, was waiting for Obama to assume global leadership; but ‘[h]e did not; he remained the President of the United States.’ Welcome to the real world.

I suppose it was inevitable, since Obama was trying to bring greater understanding to issues that have divided people, and this meant that he spoke, and spoke forthrightly, on more than one side of the issues – inevitable, consequently, that there would be those who would fasten on to some particular and miss what they had no appetite for. For my money, this was one very impressive speech – hard to improve upon, in fact, given everything Obama was trying to do with it – and an exercise in international leadership indeed.

Norm doesn’t have comments so I e-mailed him:

Hi Norm, How can a speech be deemed good when it contains such as this.

As Obama has said, ‘words have consequences’. If the words are misinformation then the consequences will not be good.

I got this reply:

I wasn’t rating the speech as a piece of history. As a political intervention, and on key questions like Israel-Palestine, war on terror, attitude to human rights and democracy vis-a-vis sovereignty, etc, I think he struck a good balance.

and replied:

Hi Norm, I take your point but at that level to perpetuate these myths doesn’t bode well for the future and in the ME history and politics are so interwoven that to sound reasonable on one and misrepresent the other ain’t gonna work in the long term, Was it a ‘good balance’ or was it moral equivalence?

Obama has the lawyers’ slippery way with words, they can mean whatever anyone wants to read into them, he is not to be trusted as his record between his words and his actions shows.

I expect you know about this but just for interest….

It’s difficult for the likes of me to argue even briefly with a respected prof from Manchester U, so am I missing something or is he? I don’t expect a further reply from him.

In Passing.

I’ve been a bit overwhelmed lately to even think about posting but I couldn’t miss passing on a link to this column on the Sotomayor nomination at the corner by Andy McCarthy, entitled Forget Whether She Qualifies as a “Racist.” Would Judge Sotomayor Qualifiy as a Juror?

He quotes the instructions given to jurors:

You have two duties as a jury. Your first duty is to decide the facts from the evidence in the case. This is your job, and yours alone. Your second duty is to apply the law that I give you to the facts. You must follow these instructions, even if you disagree with them…. Perform these duties fairly and impartially. Do not allow sympathy, prejudice, fear, or public opinion to influence you. You should not be influenced by any person’s race, color, religion, national ancestry, or sex.

Do read it all.

I hate to give more space to Obama, he himself is not worth it, but America made such a huge mistake electing him and the consequences of that could be so horrendous that it would be dereliction of duty to stay away from sounding the warning as often as possible. So from the Christian Science Monitor, ‘The Emptiness of Obama’s Pragmatism’ by Jacob Bronsther.

Also Scott Kirwin at The Scratching Post is on to something important amid all the talk of Obama being a Socialist he contends that he is in fact a Mussolinian Fascist. Don’t choke on you croissant any liberals happening by, if, as Scott says, the Socialists aim to take over the means of production while Fascists nominally leave industry in private hands but take over control of same he makes a lot of sense. See his posts here and here and he has others if you care to scroll down.

One more, Paul Schlichta at American Thinker says O is a mega-egotist rather than a narcissist as he thought, though in the end it doesn’t make much difference regarding the harm he can do.

Dr. Sanity on Obama.

Now and then you read something that you wish could be on the front page of every newspaper in the country, what a fantasist I am! Such a piece is Dr. Sanity’s take on Obama’s speechifying.

Over and over again I hear how “wonderful” Obama’s rhetoric is; how much everyone responds to it and how it makes them hopeful about the future etc. etc. etc.

Frankly, I can barely stand to listen to the man. I have to read transcripts of most of his speeches because my reaction to his style is so negative. I don’t like the sensation of being manipulated; nor do I like being lectured to by someone who instinctively believes they are far more virtuous than I am– and intends to show me the error of my ways.

Understand that I listen to people for a living. I hear various degrees of honesty, sincerity, and real emotional pain being expressed on a regular basis. I also hear some of the most self-serving, dishonest and completely irresponsible utterings that it is possible to imagine. Yet, in my professional career, I have to freely admit that I have heard nothing like the deceitful and self-aggrandizing utterings of Barack Obama, which seem to get more and more pathological with every speech he gives. His most recent scam, in the National Archives in front of a fake copy of the U.S. Constitution just about takes the cake. This is not irony, so much as it is the grandiosity of tyranny.

Bill Clinton–who I actually liked for the most part; even his amusing narcissism, which seems so childishly innocent in retrospect–was completely harmless compared to the sociopathic statist that is our current POTUS.

He’s a snake oil salesman non pareil.

The Bastard Press.

Even for the press actions speak louder than words.

There is a reason that both the press and Obama are sinking.

The NYT’s stock, which as recently as last spring was trading in the low $20s, tumbled down 10.75 percent to close in single-digit territory, at $9.55. The company’s debt was downgraded to “below investment grade” — or “junk” status — by Standard & Poor’s.

We sure traded down with Obama:

I had the great opportunity to see the Dalai Lama speak at MIT this afternoon. When he opened the forum to audience Q&A, the following stunning exchange occurred (I will paraphrase):

Audience member: “Can you give us an example of a leader we should look up to as a positive influence?”

Dalai Lama (after thinking for a few seconds): “President Bush. I met him personally and liked him very much. He was honest and straightforward, and that is very important. I may not have agreed with all his policies, but I thought he was very honest and a very good leader.”

All this in Cambridge . . .

In Paris Obama Is A Joke.

Success! Obama has changed the image of America in France. Yep, instead of looking down their long, haughty noses at us [or as well as...] they are laughing! Way to go Barry.

From a column at Israpundit by Dr. Jack Wheeler:

Paris, France. It is very cool to be a French intel guy. A spectacular meal at a Parisian bistro with $90 entrées and a $200 bottle of Bordeaux? No problem. I’d known this fellow since he got me out of a jam in Sudan years ago. His James Bond days are over, but still, riding a desk for the DGSE — Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (General Directorate for External Security), France’s military intel agency – in Paris has its decided benefits.

One of them is not being infected with Obamamania. “My agency considers him a joke,” he confides. “Every day there is some fresh lunacy that we cannot believe. Mr. Bush would often make us angry. But at this man we just laugh.”

“In truth, it also makes us sad,” he continued. “French resentment towards America is strong, so being able to laugh at your country feels good. But it is such a sad and strange thing to see America – America The Great! – do something so crazy as to elect this ridiculous man.”

“There are a lot of people convinced he is a traitor who hates America and is actively determined to destroy it. Any opinion on that?”

He didn’t shrug at this. After a long slow sip of wine, he mused, “I would not go that far. Many of his actions, however, are very puzzling because they are so counter-productive regarding America’s best interests. There seems to be a consistent pattern in that direction.”

“What does Sarkozy think of him?”

“Nothing but contempt.”

After a pause he asked, “And Langley?” (the CIA)

“Well, if you thought the war they waged against Bush was intense, it was nothing compared to how they’re going to screw Obama. He has tried to gut them with the ‘torture memo’ release and slashing their budgets. The morale is depressed, sullen, and enraged. You know what a left-wing outfit Langley is. They thought he was their boy and they feel betrayed. All kinds of damaging stuff on him will be appearing via their media friends.”

Read it all.

Addendum. I can’t cite names so you’ll have to take my word for it. Someone I know interviewed a Very Famous Leftwing American Journalist and asked him for his assessment of Barry O so far. The VFLAJ replied, ‘He’s way out of his depth.’ Sometimes a simple statement like that gives you the whole picture.

Truth and Consequence.

Someone sent me this video.

From what I know without checking it all seems to be factual, but does believing that make me a troofer, a right wing extremist, a wingnut, a racist and all the other epithets the left sling about with such abandon? What if it is all true and we have in the White House a Muslim/communist African despot? If it walks like a duck…………….

I guess it’s a little more difficult for the people to see an Emperor who is an empty suit for what he is than it is to see an Emperor with no suit but it will happen. Of course all the courtiers aka the MSM will cling to the death, their own that is, that the suit has some content instead of seeing it for what it is, a robotic front man for the Ayres, Soros, Wright, communists and America haters with not an iota of original thought or even any common sense to his name.

Dick Morris at Real Clear Politics says Obama’s High Approval Ratings Won’t Last.

When the Obama administration crashes and burns, with approval ratings that fall through the floor, political scientists can trace its demise to its first hundred days. While Americans are careful not to consign a presidency they desperately need to succeed to the dustbin of history, the fact is that this president has moved – on issue after issue – in precisely the opposite direction of what the people want him to do.

Right now, Obama’s ratings must be pleasing to his eye. Voters like him and his wife immensely and approve of his activism in the face of the economic crisis. While polls show big doubts about what he is doing, the overwhelming sense is to let him have his way and pray that it works.

But beneath this superficial support, Obama’s specific policies run afoul of the very deeply felt convictions of American voters. For example, the most recent Rasmussen Poll asked voters if they wanted an economic system of complete free enterprise or preferred more government involvement in managing the economy. By 77-19, they voted against a government role, up seven points from last month.

Like America’s many enemies in the past Obama’s ego blinds him to what he’s taken on and one hopes that Academia, the MSM and all the assorted ragbag of communists, ‘revolutionaries’, idiots and malcontents who are riding his coat tails will go down with him, he will be the catalyst for purging much of the garbage that has been blighting the American landscape ever since JFK finagled his way into power.

We Said Obama Was Scary.

While the administration is playing politics with the methods that kept the US safe for eight long years against all expectations of further attacks, and while the Obamaniac swans around the world making nice to thugs and vicious dictators, the forces of evil are not sitting still.

Con Coughlin writing in The Daily Telegraph tells what the fools in Washington should know.

The Taliban continues its menacing advance on the Pakistani capital. The Iranian president reiterates his hateful anti-Israeli rhetoric, while Israel’s newly elected Right-wing prime minister makes veiled threats about launching military action to prevent a second Holocaust. Yet the only subject that appears to concern Barack Obama is whether or not senior officials from the previous administration should face prosecution for the harsh interrogation techniques used against terror suspects in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

Read it all. It really is hair tearing time over the lunatic asylum that passes for government in Washington.

Obama’s Foreign Policy Summarized.

This is stolen from Dr Sanity.

Democrats, Friends of the Poor and Disadvantaged.

Or so they would have you believe, they never tire of talking about it and telling you about the heartless fat cat Republicans, they are the masters of the ‘Give a Dog a Bad Name’ strategy.

Meantime see how they pander to the Teachers’ Union fat cat ideologues and stick it to the poor of Washington DC, from the Washington Post, the whole column.

Presumed Dead
Politics is driving the destruction of the District’s school voucher program.

EDUCATION SECRETARY Arne Duncan has decided not to admit any new students to the D.C. voucher program, which allows low-income children to attend private schools. The abrupt decision — made a week after 200 families had been told that their children were being awarded scholarships for the coming fall — comes despite a new study showing some initial good results for students in the program and before the Senate has had a chance to hold promised hearings. For all the talk about putting children first, it’s clear that the special interests that have long opposed vouchers are getting their way.

Officials who manage the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program sent letters this week to parents notifying them that the scholarships of up to $7,500, were being rescinded because of the decision by the Education Department. Citing the political uncertainty surrounding vouchers, a spokesperson for Mr. Duncan told us that it is not in the best interest of students and their parents to enroll them in a program that may end a year from now. Congress conditioned funding beyond the 2009-10 school year on reauthorization by Congress and approval by the D.C. Council. By presuming the program dead — and make no mistake, that’s the insidious effect of his bar on new enrollment — Mr. Duncan makes it even more difficult for the program to get the fair hearing it deserves.

That’s not to mention the impact of the last-minute decision on these families. Many of the public charter schools already have cut off enrollments for the upcoming school year; the deadline for out-of-boundary transfers for the public schools has passed. No doubt Mr. Duncan is right about possible disruption for new students if the program were to end. But scholarship officials have been upfront with parents about the risks, and the decision really should be theirs. Let them decide whether they want to chance at least one year in a high-quality private school versus the crapshoot of D.C. public schools.

That, after all, is what this program is about: giving poor families the choice that others, with higher salaries and more resources, take for granted. It’s a choice President Obama made when he enrolled his two children in the elite Sidwell Friends School. It’s a choice Mr. Duncan had when, after looking at the D.C. schools, he ended up buying a house in Arlington, where good schools are assumed. And it’s a choice taken away this week from LaTasha Bennett, a single mother who had planned to start her daughter in the same private school that her son attends and where he is excelling. Her desperation is heartbreaking as she talks about her daughter not getting the same opportunities her son has and of the hardship of having to shuttle between two schools.

It’s clear, though, from how the destruction of the program is being orchestrated, that issues such as parents’ needs, student performance and program effectiveness don’t matter next to the political demands of teachers’ unions. Congressional Democrats who receive ample campaign contributions from the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers laid the trap with budget language that placed the program on the block. And now comes Mr. Duncan with the sword.

Every day comes something disgusting about the Democrats and yet millions vote for them. The millions who are either idiots or bought and paid for I guess.

H/T Powerline.

Update. Greg Forster at PJM has more.

O-bow-ma.

I guess about everyone has seen Obama’s obsequious bow to King Saud.

It seems Obama gives himself away when he is not the programmed telly prompted Alinsky robot that we know and love [spit] so well. Like his off hand answer to Joe the Plumber about redistributing the wealth, letting slip his Socialist credentials, this bow shows inadverently his obeisance to Islam, nothing less. Such are the glimpses of the genuine Obama. Much fun has been made of his ‘ah, um, um’ hesitancy when speaking off the cuff, but a big part of that is the difficulty in hiding what he really thinks, otherwise known as lying his stupid head off. Geez, a lying President and a lying Vice President!

Raymond Ibrahim at PJM puts the bow into historical and cultural context.

In the ancient world and throughout much of the Middle East today, bowing is just about the worst thing someone can do.

More Assbarackwards Stuff.

The lefty propaganda branded Bush as a moron and Obama as an intellectual Harvard law professor.

Here is a Bush reading list. Quite impressive wouldn’t you say? Note the Lincoln bio and Lincoln’s Greatest Speech: The Second Inaugural.

And on what does the high falutin’ Harvard Law Perfesser spend his time? TV.

President Barack Obama can’t stand to be without his “Entourage.”

Call it a guilty pleasure, or maybe it just rings familiar to him. The HBO series about an aspiring actor features a fast-talking agent named Ari, based on the real-life brother of Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.

For less R-rated fare, he tunes into “Hannah Montana” or “SpongeBob SquarePants” in the White House with his daughters. Aides said he would have watched Monday night’s NCAA championship on TiVo on his way home from Iraq Tuesday night.

Jon Stewart’s smackdown of CNBC’s Jim Cramer? Obama was eager to see it. But when it comes to the real news, and not the fake kind, Obama takes a pass — rarely ever tuning into 24-hour cable chatter or replays of his own performances.

Ah yes, all those troublesome affairs of state are put on hold while he indulges in passive entertainment.

No doubt everyone has heard of the infamous Obama bow to King Saud, well Alan Sullivan as usual has the real take on it. Read the comments too.

Gee Obama, Kissing Muslim Ass Working For You Yet?

Thomas Sowell.

I love Thomas Sowell’s Random Thoughts. From today’s column:

Socialists believe in government ownership of the means of production. Fascists believed in government control of privately owned businesses, which is much more the style of this government. That way, politicians can intervene whenever they feel like it and then, when their interventions turn out badly, summon executives from the private sector before Congress and denounce them on nationwide television.

Two thoughts of my own, how can any reasonable person believe that the Obama Presidency can turn out other than disastrously and it’s a serious defect of a country that an Obama can be elected as Pres when there are people like Thomas Sowell around.

Will Obama Grow a Brain If We Add Water?

H/T: Pat Dollard

Or will he grow a spine? Perhaps a soul might take sprout. Nope, I think Obama will always be clay filled with dirt. Now I wonder if he is going to demand a cut of the profits. Or maybe he’ll be all pissy about it and audit the guy who owns Chia products. Cause you see, Obama won, and he can do pretty much anything he wants.

Hussein Obama’s Spread Cheeks Policy

Obama's Spreads His Cheeks

I have used this image once before  to refer to Obama’s foreign policy posture, but I didn’t realize how completely and explicitly  he would model  the denigration he intends to inflict upon America.

There isn’t a bone in my body nor an inclination in my soul that would have me bowing to another human being. NONE. NADA. Perhaps because I am an American to my core and Americans do not bow down, God being the only exception.  But our Resident in the former White House is not particularly American and he  most certainly serves other gods than the Christian one he adopted for  political expediency.

Protein Wisdom makes short work of  the Resident’s  “genuinely obsequious-looking bow”.

Giuliani once practically spit in the face of a presumptuous Saudi Prince. Our President? He fucking bowed.

He bowed to religious intolerance.

He bowed to misogyny.

He bowed to anti-semitism.

He bowed to homophobia.

In short, he surrendered our country’s ideals, offering up our principles for sacrifice on the altar of Otherness — behaving much as the Brits’ royal class and the continental elites have long behaved, favoring the sumptuous decadence of flowing robes and exotic scimitars and sweet tea respites to the bustling workaday democracy of capitalist Jews and their “shitty little country.”

Would-be royalty sticks together, I guess. And by bowing before a Saudi Prince, our President — in addition to taking a piss on 200+ years of precedent — has shown himself to be as principled as many of us knew him to be. Which is not principled at all.
From… Yes. But the real question is, did he give him a toy helicopter or a bitchin’ iPod, too?

H/T: Brutal Honesty

Oh Hell, Screw Sovereignty, Let’s Be A Third World Sty

H/T:@rednet

I’m not a big fan of Dick Morris, but this information remains the same no matter who says it. I was just writing somewhere else that if we ever get America back, she’ll be like a beautiful woman who has be gang raped by brutes for days on end.

Don’ t you feel it? The horrifying sense of invasion, the unfamiliar sense of vulnerability, the impotency of watching whom and what you love ravaged before your eyes without any means to stop it? Future generations will, if the left doesn’t completely deconstruct the human spirit, look at the election of this Marxist administration with the same horror that we now view the holocaust.

Obama Begins Turnover of USA Sovereignty to International Body

Moving as quickly as he can to gut the USA and then divide its body parts amongst like-minded globalists, the USA’s Supreme Leader Barack Hussein Obama used the G-20 conference to begin his turnover of USA sovereignty to said internationalists and start the move toward a one-world government. Obama has signed off on international legislation—the Financial Stability Board—that would regulate ALL firms, including those within the USA and places them under the responsibility of an international governmental agency.

On FNC’s Greta Van Susteren’s program, author and columnist Dick Morris noted “literally from April 2nd of this year, that is, today, it’s a whole new world of financial regulation in which, essentially, ALL of the U.S. regulatory bodies and ALL U.S. companies are put under international regulation, international supervision. It really amounts to a global economic government.”
[...]
During this same conference, Obama officially announced the reduction in US nuclear weaponry, so that Iran will be more amenable to sitting down to talk with the US. In other words, he’s again announced to the world that the USA is no longer a threat to anyone—let alone terrorists. Never before in our soon to be short-lived history has the United States of America had this sort of a leader who has now announced—in no uncertain terms—that it is his plan and duty to dismantle and destroy the country he represents. He, his administration members and his Congress (with extraordinary assistance from most notably Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd and their friends) have devastated the US economy, are in the process of eliminating the First and Second Amendments—and the entire US Constitution—have ended free enterprise, established his national youth indoctrination—if not police—force (via the GIVE—Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education—Act) and have begun the process of taking over virtually all private companies.

Those Evil Europeans

This is just so muslim-like; the destruction of cultural artifacts, the revision of history, the maniacal reach of castrated men seeking power. But then, what doesn’t the left do that isn’t congruous with the goals and tenets of Islam. And we who were not idiotic enough to vote for Obama have long known of his affinity for all things Islamic. An affinity that will only serve to accelerate the pace at which America is being destroyed. So when I read of Chavez’s latest purge of history I can’t help but fear what American treasure the ravenous hordes of Obamanites, along with all their muslim accomplices, will ravage.

Big Bad European

Be that as it may, Chavez, demonizing Christopher Columbus as the bastard who opened the door for all of us vile  Europeans, will remove the last remaining statue of  that evil explorer. Well, let’s see, Obama already sent the bust of Churchill packing. I have no doubt more of America’s revered personages shall be removed from sight or erased from history simply for the sin of their tainted European blood. But, only Caucasians are racists, don’cha know?

Chavez and Obama are but two heads of a hydra headed socialist serpent coiled in a tightening death grip around the throat of civilization in every Western nation. And still, 1/2 of all Americans applaud their coming slaughter, singing hosannas to the men who wield the swords.

Below is Google’s translation of Cristoforo Colombo? È un genocida, la sua statua va abbattuta

29 March 2009

After Colombia, after Israel, Bush, corporations, NGOs, the Spanish king and all the infinite targets chosen by Hugo Chávez Frías for its torrential invective, this week is the time of Christopher Columbus. The fault of the Genoese, who gave life to the greatest geographical discovery of humanity, is to be responsible for “genocide” and “the invasion” by Europeans made in Latin America. It does not matter that Columbus was a sailor and not a visionary by conquistador sword bloody. For Chávez, the fault is attributable to the Genoese, and then the President has supported the removal of his last remaining statue in Caracas with the usual incendiary words: “In its place we must put the statue of an indigenous or un’indigena which suggest road to the liberation of the people and to socialism. “
The act has sparked the anger of many Venezuelans tired of seeing the constant purging of symbols invisible to the president, replaced by personal myths as Che Guevara, Emiliano Zapata or guerrilla Manuel Marulanda of the FARC (the sociologist Carlos Hernandez said that Venezuela is ‘only country that stands a bust to a drug smuggler). Now it remains to be seen what will be the name of colonial Venezuela.  Literally means “little Venice” and was inspired by the conquistador Ojeda from Amerigo Vespucci, at which the piles of the Venezuelan coast, the city remembered the Veneto. Probably soon become Bolivarzuela.

Kill Whitey!!

I think Obama should recruit Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva into his cabinet. He is a perfect fit; a cretinous smudge of corrupt flesh , a poverty pimp and a genuine racist. Maybe once Obama completely buries America and assumes his role as king of the world, da Silva can head up the concentration camps.

Kill Whitey

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.

Speaking in Brasília at a joint press conference with Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister, Mr Lula da Silva told reporters: “This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.”
He added: “I do not know any black or indigenous bankers so I can only say [it is wrong] that this part of mankind which is victimized more than any other should pay for the crisis.” (Source)

I tell ya what, at this stage of the game I am thinking that the next time we “white folks” have an opportunity to help “people of color” rise up out of the muck, perhaps we ought to think twice about it. It seems that the end results are less than fortuitous. The jealous little pricks are turning on us like rabid dogs.

Quote of the Day.

Scott Johnson of Powerline is depressed. I wonder who is more depressed, those of us who saw this coming or those who, filled with Hopey/Change, didn’t and are finding out too late what they’ve done.

I am depressed because the president of the United States is a fool who will immiserate us, render us wards of the state and lose us our life and liberty to those who understand what they are about.
