Sowell Gets Mail (Stamped From The Dough Of Human Suffering)
better than prune juice
Who would have thought that lonely wingnuts, paralyzed by abject despair, would find their very own Dear Abby or Miss Lonelyhearts improbably tucked away in the Hoohah Institution and would, in their darkest hour, pen soul-searching letters to her (or him) seeking consolation, guidance and hope? Well, if our old buddy Tom Sowell is to be believed, he is being inundated by such letters:
An increasing number of recent letters and e-mails from readers strike a note, not only of unhappiness with the way things are going in our society, but of despair.
So he writes back: Dear Despairing Soul,
Those of us who are pessimists are only a step away from despair ourselves, so we may not be the ones to offer the best antidote to the view that America has seen its best days and is degenerating toward what may well be its worst. Yet what hope remains is no less precious nor any less worthy of being preserved.
Well, I feel much better already. Don’t you?
First of all, the day-to-day life of most Americans in these times is nowhere near as dire as that of the band of cold, ragged, and hungry men who gathered around George Washington in the winter at Valley Forge, to which they had been driven by defeat after defeat. …
Against the background of those and other desperate times that this country has been through, we cannot whine today because the stocks in our pension plans have gone down or the inflated value that our houses had just a few years ago has now evaporated.
Ah yes, the tried and true “at least you don’t have wooden teeth” argument. My mom used a variant of that when anyone would complain about getting socks and underwear for their birthday: “At least you don’t have leukemia, you know.” My guess is that “Despairing Soul” is now thinking he would have been better off writing to Amy Alkon.
Worse yet, there are moral corrosions within ourselves that weaken our ability to face the challenges ahead. One of the many symptoms of this decay from within is that we are preoccupied with the pay of corporate executives while the leading terrorist-sponsoring nation on earth is moving steadily toward creating nuclear bombs. Does anyone imagine that we will care what anyone’s paycheck is when we see an American city in radioactive ruins?
I know that I for one would survey a heap of nuclear rubble and kick myself over executive pay caps because, you know, in the time it took to pass those caps we could have invaded Iran, blown up their nuclear facilities, converted the population, given Hershey Bars and ponies to everyone and been back home by dinnertime.
It took only two nuclear bombs to get Japan to surrender — and the Japanese of that era were far tougher than most Americans today. Just one bomb — dropped on New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles — might be enough to get us to surrender. If we are still made of sterner stuff than it looks like, then it might take two or maybe even three or four nuclear bombs, but we will surrender.
And it’s not just because we have a hummus-eating eating surrender monkey in the White House. Read on.
How did we get to this point? It was no single thing. The dumbing down of our education, the undermining of moral values with the fad of “non-judgmental” affectations, the denigration of our nation through poisonous propaganda from the movies to the universities. The list goes on and on.
In short, we we will surrender to Iran because kids aren’t reading Shakespeare in high school anymore, because we aren’t sending teh gays to butch camps, and, natch, because we gave Slumdog Millionaire, a movie about winning rather than earning money the old-fashioned way, eight Oscars.
The shame of Stanford strikes again.

You know, maybe Bush’s biggest mistake was not using tactical nukes in the tribal areas of Afghanistan after 9/11.

Bush Jr’s biggest mistake was in not using nuclear weapons on San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Los Angeles.

Prof. Groeteschele: [walking to the podium] I’ve been making a few rough calculations on the effect of two twenty megaton bombs dropped on New York City in the middle of a normal workday. I estimate the immediate dead at about three million. I include in that figure those buried beneath collapsed buildings. It would make no difference, Admiral Wilcox, whether they reached a shelter or not. They would die just the same. Add another million or two who will die within five weeks. Now our immediate problem will be the join one of fire control and excavation. Excavation not of the dead, the effort would be wasted. For even though there are no irreplaceable government documents in New York City, many of our largest corporations keep their records there. It will be necessary to… rescue as many of those records as we can. Our economy depends on this.

“It would have made Saddam piss his pants to let inspectors in…”
As I recall, Saddam was pissing his pants to let inspectors in shortly before we invaded (Seems to me they were already there, but my memory isn’t what it used to be. Never was, as a matter of fact). We just didn’t care: We were all ready and why let all of that hardware go to waste? Besides, those inspector pansies wouldn’t have found the WMD’s anyway. Oh, wait…
zombie rotten mcdonald said,
February 24, 2009 at 18:13
Joe, you’re right, the inspectors were already there. The UN pulled them out when it became apparent that Bush was dead-set on invading.
At the time, the refrain was that Saddam was fooling the inspectors, showing them the wrong things. And of course, the inspectors were all rubes or traitors, so could not be trusted when nothing was found.
I am unsure about the pissing his pants part. Sounds like something Sowell and Realist might be more familiar with.

No one (except bedwetting survivalist WOLVERINES) likes nukes.

Consequences of Nuking Mecca
By: Vernon Richards, author of ‘Islam Undressed‘
Because a war of attrition heavily favors their ultimate goals, Islamist terrorists have so far not been deterred by large numbers of their young men being killed. Life is cheap to them, even their own, and so they remain unmoved by their losses and still lust for power through murder. Their grass-roots support base, billions of Muslims world-wide, can still be counted on to largely support their efforts, even if only passively. If sufficiently humbled, then at some point the majority of Muslims might yet choose to abandon violence and stop their sons, or at least temporarily withdraw their jihadist forces to established realms of influence (just as the Turkish hordes did after being soundly defeated by the Polish cavalry). But any decision to withdraw will not come by either negotiation or accommodation, but only through abject humiliation and defeat. What form of defeat will suffice to convince Islam to put the Jihad genie back in the bottle is a subject of widespread debate. Pacifists blithely claim more therapy, understanding, and multiculturalism is the way, and will likely continue to spout such nonsense right up until the Halal knife slices their throat. They congratulate themselves for being so open-minded, oblivious that their brains have fallen out. Happily self-blinded by excessive relativism, they can no longer distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, or dark from light.
Those more personally touched by Islamic methods, and with the ability to realize you cannot create sweets from bile, often prefer methods of ‘total war’. Our enemies remain free to plan and perpetrate never-ending acts of total war designed to destroy the very fabric of our society. Failure to respond with even greater destructiveness will only serve to prolong this struggle. In any contest, the first rule of victory is to fight on your own terms and not your opponents. In any violent struggle, victory goes to the most ferocious and skilled. As Patton said, let the other poor bastard die for his country, our objective is to fight and win. We must fight with more energy, more cunning, more intelligence, and more ferocity than the cunning animals seeking our demise. It is simply suicidal to refuse to fight a people and culture who are motivated, mobilized, and pledged to destroy you. The true terrorists, the men and nations brainwashing, supplying, and ordering terrorist attacks, would prefer they remain unmolested. They are quite happy to let us use our police, military, and intelligence to play cat and mouse with their endless supply of terrorist foot-soldiers in this contest stacked against us. In this war, victory will go to the party most effective in convincing the opposing party that surrender is preferable to a continuation of hostilities, and so victory will remain out of reach to us as long as the enablers and handlers remain safe. Muslim survivalists will only force the end to the terrorist activities springing up from amongst them when made to pay a terrible price. One ‘terrible price’ currently under debate is an nuclear attack on Mecca should any 9/11 scale attack (or larger) occur on US soil. I am in favor of such planning in the event of a catastrophic strike against America, because I believe the burden of loss needs to be shifted decidedly to fundamental Muslims themselves (and what they value most) if there is to be any hope of ending all this madness. To yield to Islamists demands and take the option off the table would be strategically stupid. Unfortunately, the only thing an insanity respects is greater insanity.
But as has been pointed out by Robert Spencer, Nuking Mecca could also be seen by Islamists as a weak action and could serve to unify Muslims and increase Jihad. But this is only true if not done properly and the city is left salvageable within a few years. Once devoted Muslims carry out their next major strike on America, the Mecca plan should be carried out without hesitation or warning. No Hiroshima class atomic wimp-weapon will do, only the 1,000 times more powerful hydrogen fusion device will work for this important job. To be done correctly, a grid of 9 of our most powerful Hydrogen bombs (3×3, every 12 miles, the black stone at the center) are set off at the surface to be as dirty as possible, rendering the entire region uninhabitable for the next few decades. The strike is then repeated every 5 years or so if any kind of clean-up is attempted. Medina needs one too, to prevent Arabs from declaring the transference of the holy site to the secondary location, but Mecca needs to be thoroughly ‘glassified’.
Muslims will thereby learn by force-feeding that their hateful God (Allah) cannot protect them and is a figment of their collective imagination, and millions will leave the failed cult. Nothing harms an Arab more than humiliation and defeat. They sincerely believe that their most-powerful Allah has promised to protect and preserve Mecca, and so their false faith in the Pagan deity will crumble with the meteorite in the intense heat and pressure of a fusion fireball. Can a billion Moslems worldwide face radioactive glass 5 times a day and still take it seriously, I don’t think so, or at least not over the long term. Cut off the head and the snake will still squirm for a while, but it will soon stop. In addition, by preventing Muslims from -ever- performing one of the pillars (requirements) of Islam, we block their way to paradise, but thereby actually save them from real hell (Islam is hell-on-earth is this life, and brings only sorrow and torment in the next). When the time comes, by all means, Nuke Mecca, …but do it right. By this act, and this act alone, many intelligent Arabs, Persians, Egyptians, and Asians will stop their foolish ideas of superiority, and so curb their sanctimonious rationales to commit hateful acts of murder, rape, slavery, and violence. Domestic Muslims will need to be controlled for a while, with heavy doses of education and trauma therapy applied. If they can commit to opposing Muhammad and his methods, then in a generation or two Islamic nonsense will not be worshiped by their children. If they can make no such binding commitment, then deportation is in order. As Hiroshima saved more lives than it took 60 years ago, so will thoroughly nuking Islamic sites save more lives than will be taken otherwise, including possibly yours, mine, and your children and my children.
While we all hope such measures are unnecessary, to fail to plan for that eventuality is to plan to fail. If we were to Nuke major cities in Iran and Syria, the root of Islam in Mecca would remain and worldwide faith in Muhammad and his vile methods would be strengthened instead of weakened. Such a weak act would embolden the movement and the gains in destroying America would be perceived as well worth the cost. In the mean time, while we all await for the rumored catastrophe, a concerted effort to supply Persians with the means and weapons to overthrow the Mullahs is urgently needed in Iran. Our Persian allies in this effort need to understand that they will likely die with the Mullahs in the inevitable nuclear storm which will follow should they fail. The Kurds of northern Syria are also salvageable, but there is hardly anything else worth preserving in Syria. As I have been informed by Jordanian and Lebanon Arabs, Syrians are not to be trusted, and for reason.

We don’t move 150,000 troops and all the logistics to support them halfway around the world as a show of force. A show of force is a couple carrier battle groups and a squadron of F-117s.

I know that the wingnuts are terrified of their sexually-repressed misogynist brethren in Al-Qaeda, but it takes a special kind of crazy to imagine a ‘surrender’ to Al Qaeda, Iran, N. Korea, even fucking China. This is what happens when you can’t define victory—you can’t even define defeat.

I once read somewhere that it would cost something ridiculous in light of the money spent on bombing the shit out of the Mideast, something like $5 billion, to bring potable water to most of the impoverished areas around the world.
Of course, that would result in lessening of human misery, increased sanitation and cleanliness, and raising the standard of living without torture, killing and fear….
Obviously not something that interests the right wing.

The wingnut cognitive dissonance ever since Obama’s election is making my head spin!
We did the simultaneous “obama’s all doom and gloom instead of hopeful” and the “ohmigod civilization’s gonna end I gotta git mah guns!”; we did the “damn greedy unions gotta cut their pay” and “govmint cain’t dictate executives’ bonuses.” We did the “Obama’s just an elegant elitist” and “that feller sez ‘um’ a lot, and bumbles.”
So today’s talking point is “what economic meltdown? Let’s nuke Iran!” and “terraists is gonna set off a dirty bomb in my living room, let’s nuke Iran!” and “surrender monkeys are gonna make us bow to Mecca, let’s nuke Iran….and Mecca, too (note: located on our ally, Saudi Arabia’s soil).”
Wouldn’t it be easier on their systems if they just made like the Three Stooges and poked fingers in each others’ eyes instead?

Just one bomb — dropped on New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles — might be enough to get us to surrender. If we are still made of sterner stuff than it looks like, then it might take two or maybe even three or four nuclear bombs, but we will surrender.
Surrender? Yeah, probably. To the reptilian overlords of the Homeland Security Agency. Murkins long to be told what to do. They detest the “burdens” freedom, and would gladly surrender it in a crisis…

Umm, aint nobody going to drop a nuke on NYC. Iran aint going to develop an ICBM capable of hitting NY any time in the next 100 years. Nor will Korea. Nor Syria. Bomb Mecca? Aren’t the Saudis our ally? Sure would fuck up our oil imports though, so maybe that would be a good idea to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Maybe we ought to nuke Caracas and western Canada just for good measure.
If NY was to be nuked, it would be shipped in quietly, stealthily. Thank GOD W did such a great job of protecting us by seriously beefing up port security, eh?
Since nukes are so easy to make – you can get the frigging plans off the internet – it’s highly likely NYC will be nuked and millions MILLIONS I SAY will die and we’ll have to wet our pants and surrender to…..well to somebody, you can be sure of that! Anyway, look how N. Korea only needed 10 years and a few billion dollars to make a nuke. So what if that nuke was pretty much a dud? Did I mention that W is the main reason N. Korea has a nuke, btw? They didn’t have one when he took office. We had inspectors watching their every move, making sure they weren’t working on one. Only six or seven years of W’s masterful foreing policy kept them from getting their own…huh?
We know Al Quaeda is spending billions on their crack team of nuclear physicists in their superbly well equipped labs in Torah Borah. We know this because we’ve seen their org chart. Sure, the #3 spot is pretty mutable but still, they’ve got the resources of an entire nation to work with, right? So it’s guaranteed that NYC will be nuked by Al Queada thanks to their advanced labs in Pakistan so we should immediately bomb Iran. That much is clear.
Also, Mein Fuhrer! I can valk!!!!

Yes, you’re right, we should nuke Pakistan immediately. And NK. That might turn thinggs a little sour with the Japanese but big fucking deal. Now we need to do it secretly so the only difficulty will be in how many they toss over into India. And how many India returns. I’m sure that Israel, seeing all this shit going on in their back yard, will figure either that Iran is invoplved or that it just looks like a fine timeto lob a few nukes at Iran. And Russia, getting a bit nervous at all this nuculating going on at their very doorstep will surely show extreme restraint aqnd do absolutely nothing.
Meanwhile, the cheese eating surrender monkeys might get a bit tetchy – you know how snooty THEY are – and join the party. After all, what’s the point in having nukes if you don’t use them? WooHAH! We’re having fun now!
On the other hand, the nuclear winter will cool the earth by much more than we’ve warmed it so this could be the best climate change weapon ever conceived! What, climate change isn’t real?

But but but, I was told by the GOPers during the past 8 years that Pakistan, which has a democratically elected government, was our ally in teh War on Terruh. Certainly Pakistan would never sell-out an ally! TI take it you support President Obama position that the US retains the right to strike targets in Pakistan if the Pakistanis don’t do it themselves, right? As such you renounce and reject GOPer howling to the effect that Obama was threatening to “invade” or “attack” an ally, right? If not, why don’t you support the Commander in Chief at time of war?

snarkle – actually, they said it was reading diagnostic software. The big issue here is that ed publishers generally suck to work for as a company rep. I wouldn’t even consider it if the offer was less than a guaranteed $60K + benefits + expense account, because these fucks want 80 hours a week out on the road. They try to do a $45K + “bonus” deal with everyone, then set quotas so high that you can’t meet them even working 80 hours per week – which leaves you making something like $10 an hour. So I’ve already set my limits there – if they want the time, they’re going to have to pay for it. Mostly because I really don’t relish the idea of living out of suitcases again, I almost hope they don’t make a good enough offer. If they do though, even a year of that could help me out a lot.
On balance, I’d rather have the ACORN job, even making a lot less.

No, actually, politically precocious child that I was, as a 13-year-old in ’76 I predicted that if Reagan got the nomination, he would win; if Ford got it Carter would win. The south was pretty much angry white guy ground zero back then, too, and Reagan knew just how to appeal to their anger and bigotry. Ford didn’t.

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter (R), who survived a 2007 sex scandal, called on Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) to resign Tuesday for his ethical shortcomings.
Vitter was connected with a prostitution ring two years ago and dismissed any suggestion of hypocrisy given his own refusal to resign in the wake of that scandal.
“I honestly don’t know anybody who would compare these situations,” he told The Hill on Tuesday. “They are dramatically different.”

Another clueless Republican fucktard – NORM!!!
It turns out that Norm Coleman is still a member in good standing of the Senate Republican Conference — in fact, it just so happens that he attended today’s party lunch meeting on the Hill, and was also there for Inauguration Week.
What makes this remarkable is that Coleman isn’t actually a member of the United States Senate anymore. Remember that his term expired this past January 3, and Minnesota has been without a Senator because of his lawsuit bottling up Al Franken’s amazingly-narrow win.
“He’s always welcome,” Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) told TPMDC, adding that “we still think he has a very good opportunity” to win.
It’s unclear whether Alexander has actually been watching the trial, which has seen some key rulings lately going against Coleman’s position, diminishing the likelihood of a Coleman victory. In fact, the Coleman camp’s press operation has taken to openly attacking the court’s rulings.
We will say this: The fact that Coleman doesn’t actually have a vote probably makes Jon Kyl’s whip operation a lot easier.
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/coleman-still-attending-gop-caucus-meetings—-even-though-hes-no-longer-a-senator.php?ref=fp1
Besides being the party of no, Republicans like to thwart the will of the people – i.e., pushing lost cause litigation as far as possible, just to prevent a Democratic senator, who won an election, from being seated.

The usual suspects will fall into the usual categories. As the night drags on, Ohio, Colorado, and (much to your horror) Pennsylvania will be too close to call.
My advice at this point to you will be to go to bed. You will wake up to a McCain presidency and the Great Liberal Freakout will be on.

One the one hand, the right wing criticizes Obama because, yeah, he’s all Messiah-like and a great orator and “elegant” and all that empty rhetoric-type stuff, even though he says “uh” a lot and (gasp!) has to use a Teleprompter. As we all know, those things are all indications of a failed president.
But now they have Bobby Jindal and he’s a great orator who’s going to give a great speech and be their Teh One.
when that happens, of course, fancy rhetoric and elegance are Good Things.
I breathlessly await the anecdote where he goes off the Teleprompter, just like that great orator Sarah Palin did.

No Surrender
By J.R. Dunn
I’m curious — does anyone know of any situation, current, historical, hypothetical, or otherwise, in which some American conservatives don’t immediately start hollering that it’s time to give in?
That’s a serious question. It seems that whenever things get rough, the cry goes up: it’s over. The left has won. It’s not our country anymore. There’s no hope, never has been, never will be again. And almost always, it comes from people who claim that they’re the true nail-hard conservatives, the core element, of whom everyone else is merely a pale reflection.
With Obama, this chorus has become deafening. It’s the counterpoint to the Obama-as-Messiah drone from points left. Obama is the watershed, the spearpoint of a seventy-year-long conspiracy against the Republic. With his advent, the game has ended. There is no possibility of resistance. All he needs to do is raise a hand and his disciples will fill the streets, waving the little green book of the One’s Sayings and sweeping all before them. There’s nothing to be done now but to pack a single small bag and await the summons to appear for “reformation through labor”.
That or take to the woods with a cheap Kalashnikov knockoff and a knapsack full of canned baked beans.
It could happen just that way, I guess. But I have my doubts.
The argument (up until now unvoiced) appears to be that the country has been hollowed out by decades of liberal activity to a point where all that’s all required is a single kick for it to fall apart. Every institution has been undermined, every principle eroded. The intelligentsia are traitors, the business world has sold out, the populace as a whole is dumb as a dishrag. There’s nothing left worth saving even if it was possible to save it.
To say this is a one-sided vision is to insult one-sided visions. The first question we need to ask is: does this in fact resemble anything at all going on in the real world?
Thirty days into the Obamiate, we have seen that the man cannot put together a working cabinet. Four major figures have fallen by the wayside due to corruption of one form or another. A fifth — O’s major attempt at “bipartisanship”– scrambled back ashore just before this Titanic set sail. O’s successful nominees have been not quite what the situation demands either. Tim Geithner, the man who would pull a whole new economy out of his hat, is still looking for the hat. Eric Holder attempted to fulfill his duties as the nation’s chief law enforcement official by inflaming long-buried hostile feelings between the races. (I wonder if Obama grasps that, on some level, this is a blow aimed against him personally, in his persona of the man who embodies racial reconciliation?)
His great “victory”, the stimulus bill, succeeded in uniting the GOP in opposition, annoying members of his own party, dismaying the public, and sending the markets into a 300-point tailspin. Obama, and his followers, desperately need to contemplate the story of King Pyrrhus. A few days later, his banking proposal led to a repetition of the market collapse. But he succeeded in topping even that with his mortgage plan, which triggered, another market slide, nationwide defiance, and converted a little-known market commentator, Rick Santelli, into a focus of opposition. Nice work for a single week.
On the international front, he has triggered the disdain and contempt of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela among others. Mighty Kyrgyzstan has unceremoniously ejected U.S. forces. He has even succeeded in annoying the amiable Canadians prior to his visit to Ottawa. And to round that out, on Friday, February 20th, he for all practical purposes surrendered to the Taliban, a group sharing responsibility for the only successful attack on the mainland U.S. in modern times.
And this is the American Lenin, you say? The man who is going to overthrow the republic, trample the Constitution, and put the chains of socialism on a helpless, despairing populace?
What’s bothering many conservatives today is a kind of institutional memory of the FDR epoch. Roosevelt truly did carry out a revolution in political affairs. His first “hundred days” did in fact turn the country upside down. Such efforts as ending the gold standard, closing the banks, and establishing the New Deal with its complete control over the economy, were unprecedented, in no way comparable to anything that had come before.
Of course, you don’t fix a wounded economy by turning it upside down, a fact that became apparent in relatively short order. But even aside from the failure of the New Deal, FDR had a dramatic and lasting effect on the political landscape. Nowhere was this effect more apparent than with America’s conservatives.
Most of the Republicans of the era were country-club Babbits — go-along to get-along types who joined the GOP because Dad did. It comes as no surprise that these people had no solution to the country’s economic problems, or could put up any worthwhile resistance to FDR’s “reforms”. They were swept aside, and little serious opposition ever confronted Roosevelt. The era’s conservatives simply retreated to isolated pea patches while communicating only with each other. It took a generation for William F. Buckley to revive conservatism as a vital political and cultural force.
Even today, FDR remains a nightmare figure in the conservative mind. He’s denounced in contemporary books (such as the asinine Day of Deceit of which I was given three copies by people convinced it was a worthwhile read, despite its being one of the most ill-researched and badly written historical works I’ve ever encountered) with the energy and venom you’d expect to be directed at a man who left office last week, and he’s spoken of with a sense of fear and apprehension, as if he’s right around the corner and will come rolling back any minute, to scatter all before him like the Steelers’ offensive line.
But there is no third-millennial Roosevelt, only poor O, overwhelmed and getting in deeper every day. The Democrats are a gaggle of every-pol-for-himself hustlers of the Dodd, Rangel, Schumer, and Frank school, far from the unified, all-powerful party they were during the 30s. The progressive impulse is played out, a hollow ideology with no intellectual force behind it. The left-wing media is collapsing almost as quickly as the Madoff financial empire, from the venerable El Tiempos de Nuevo York to your local Democrat & Whatever. All that’s keeping the mad whirl going is the adoration of the simpler members of the public, than which no more fickle force exists.
Compare this to today’s conservatism. A GOP cleansed of its most egregious malefactors and unified as in a way unseen since the mid-90s. Consider only the leading names — Sarah Palin, Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Bobby Jindal. A greater distinction from the nonentities of the 1930s GOP can scarcely be imagined. The unity of the House Republicans against the stimulus bill came as a surprise even to me, and was of a nature to bring cheer to a stone. The Senate was not quite as impressive, but that merely marks yet another of the RINO’s offenses against intelligence, good sense, and common decency. (Has anyone ever considered the fact that “moderates” such as Spector, Snowe, and Collins are the among the least trustworthy of current politicians?)
In addition, there’s something that was scarcely imaginable in the 30s, or even in the 60s — a thriving and intellectually diverse conservative movement. A movement that has been through the fire, that has matured in both message and execution, and that remains underestimated by both its opposition and their media enablers. The modern conservative movement is even now moving into a new phase. It’s impossible at this point to say exactly where it’s going, but anyone wishing to write it off needs a little serious study.
Given the choice between this and a party headed by an intellectual juvenile who thinks he can disburse a trillion dollars one week and talk about “halving the deficit” the next, a party staffed with superannuated hustlers and grifters, with a rank and file comprised of mesmerized, glassy-eyed true believers, I know which one I’d pick.
The time may come when that choice will matter quite a lot. Obama has promised everybody everything. He will fail to bring any of it off, as Johnson and Carter failed before him. When he does fail, he will need to attempt something to shore up his base. He will move against the enemies of the people. He has several avenues open — gun control, the “fairness doctrine”, even euthanasia. Each will mark a fundamental attack on human rights and the American character that must be opposed and defeated. All hands will be required in this effort. There will be no excuse then for self-centered whining or skulking in the woods.
We will at that point have an opportunity to give the collectivist heresy a beating from which it will never completely recover. And if that isn’t worth a battle, what is?
So lighten up. The story ain’t over yet, and the fat lady hasn’t even buckled on her armor. And when the song comes at last, it may well be a tune we like.
And besides — I’ll bet you left your can opener home.

Dear Thomas’ Mailbox
I was passed over for a promotion at my workplace. I think it’s because I am too “Christian” for my politically correct workplace. I am in payroll and I take 10% off the top of every paycheck for the Lord. I also raise a fuss whenever the single mother employees’ try to use the medical plan for their illegitimate children’s health care. (My supervisor always overrides me, but I try to do the Lord’s work.) And people look at me rudely and make fun of me behind my back when I try to tell them about the Lord. I don’t bother them when they are on break, only when they are at their desks, working, do i don’t see why they are so hostile. I also think it’s hypocritical for me to be penalized for talking about my religion when they are allowed to put whatever bumper stickers they want on their cars.
What is the most effective way for me to blame being passed over for the promotion the liberals?

Gosh, that’s weird. I wonder what happened within the last, (checks calender) ~34 days that so made them realize how miserable they are?
“Those of us who are pessimists are only a step away from despair ourselves, ”
I don’t get it. These guys seemed pretty chipper four months ago. Now we seem to be one wrist-mounted crossbow away from Thunderdome. What a halting transition in such a short amount of time!
“It took only two nuclear bombs to get Japan to surrender”
Uhhh… there was a bit more to it then that. Like, Japan had no more food or resources, or any ability to launch any defensive campaign, much less an offensive campaign (See: IJN Yamato). This is roughly equivalent to saying, “All it took was that one field goal 15 seconds before the end of the game for us to lose,” after your team lost 82-3.

Wikipoopia suggests Jindal simply converted to Catholicism. It also indicates he gave up potential careers in medicine or the law to be a politician. (So in Louisiana, you simply begin your career as a lying hypocrite by adopting the popular religion, casting off the faith of your fathers in a naked grab for power.)

Not from Piyush, but a quote from Big Ho:
We’d have to give it the most successful FAIL ever right now.

I just heard David Brooks talk about the GOP using terms like “nihilism” and “insane.”

Are you talking about Jindal’s cans?

Hmm, maybe Cornyn would be better nominee than Jindal.

Why do you think Reagan challeneged Ford [sic] after all?
Because that bitch Nancy wanted to be the Queen of America, & she had St. Ronnie’s nose so wide open she must’ve used a crowbar. Seriously, she must have been the first woman to provide satisfactory oral sex to the dunce, & he was her slave from then on.

Ronald Reagan saved us from Communism and won the Cold War. You should be more grateful, or we would still have the Soviet menace to this day.

Jeez, Lipstck/Repig seems to have offered Google proof, & I was merely assuming/extrapolating (About the blowjobs.)
Is that why Sinatra was rumored to have had an affair w/ her? She can’t be more than a 90-min. walk from me, maybe I’ll go check her out. She may be able to remove her teef now too!

“Nancy Reagan sucks” is NOT meant as an insult.

If we had to trade the weakened continued existence of a Soviet Union under glasnost for having our World Trade Centers still standing because we hadn’t hired and built and protected an army of fundamentalist Muslim warlord drug trafficking terrorists, would you? I would.

This is the hope of the Republican Party? Reagan recycled? “Americans can do anything!”
yeah, apparently anything except help after a hurricane. That is, when Republicans are in the White House.

Sowell thinks Americans are a bunch of depraved soft-spined defeatist fools eager to capitulate to terrorists … & I’m sure he’s quite a hit at parties too.
Umm, isn’t the pornographic payscale of CEOs itself a major part of that whole “moral corrosions” thingy? As for sponsors of TERROR-JISM, well, terrorists aren’t much sponsored by nations anymore – it’s more a fraud-crime-&-fundraising kind of deal … but the US is no slouch in that department either, from what I’ve read. If Iran DOES get a nuke, it’s 50/50 that some enterprising neocon fuckface/s will have sold them the means to do it. Poetic irony at its finest.
Shit, MISTER ED would be a better nom than Jindal. “Better than Bobby ‘I Cast Thee Out, Lucifer!’ Jindal” isn’t exactly shooting for the bloody moon, is it now? An end-table would be better.
The only other alternative with any widespread public recognition is – ha ha ha, heh heh heh, ho ho ho, hee hee hee – the voice of reason herself, Sarahcuda … assuming she can keep her ass out of jail that long, I mean.
