The Socialist Clown Posse

The grotesque gaggle of candidates representing the Democratic Party's presidential choices were all together last night in Des Moines, vieing for the votes of the dumbest, most deluded cretins on the planet, that slimy group of malignant sub-humans known as Democratic Activists. A century of blood-drenched failure hasnt shaken the ideals of these eternally damned idiots (aka Progressives) and they were there in droves to judge which of these geniuses could most profoundly betray their country's strategic interests in the world and propose the most draconian taxes and giant giveaway programs at home. What a performance!
They've got an ethically compromised megalomaniac,an empty suit who hasnt finished teething, a hallucinating former ambulance-chaser who played second banana to a foon-faced loser four years ago, a runtish governor who swears that the same tactics that didnt make the North Korean savages give up their nukes will work fine with the Iranian savages, the Dumbest Man In The Senate, and the drunken other half of Ted Kennedy's waitress sandwich. All with the same lust for economy-destroying taxes and Federal Health Care.
If the Republicans cant beat this lot it will mean two things:
1) The American electorate is terminally stupid and deserves every disastrous thing it gets.
2) The Republicans are too cowardly and stupid to make a compelling case.

I'm less bothered by this than you would think. I've been broke around people who werent, which is a drag. I've been broke around people who were, which can be fun. I'm usually broke no matter who's in power so seeing the smug leftists who inhabit my world discomfited by the results of their idiotic policies will give me some joy.

Useful Idiots

After the appalling responses to a question about the Iranian nuclear program by the Democratic candidates in last week's debate we should cast our minds back to the culture of sniveling appeasement that is their legacy. Remember that their truckling to the savages who run Iran, and indeed to any radical Islamonazi, no matter how extreme, comes from a culture of embracing any anti-Western ideology that arose in intellectual circles in the 1930's and has continued to this day. It was clearly to be seen on the podium at last Tuesday's debate. The grandchildren of the mealy-mouthed supporters of Commie-lovers Henry Wallace and Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1940's are the fervid supporters of Hillary Clinton and Dennis Kook-Sin-Itch.
Nothing has changed so let's take a trip down Memory Lane.
In the summer of 1945 the deputy chief of Stalin's secret police Abakumov gave a speech to his fellow officers about the role of the well-meaning liberals and the Soviets intentions toward them:

"They dream of lasting peace and building a democratic world for all men. They dont seem to realize that WE are the ones who are going to build the new world, and that we shall do so without their liberal democratic recipes. All their slobber plays right into our hands, and we shall thank them for this, in the new world, with coals of fire. We shall drive them into such dead ends as they've never dreamed of. We shall disrupt them and corrupt them from within. We shall lull them to sleep, sap their will to fight. The whole 'free western' world will burst apart like a fat, squashed toad...Our aim justifies this. Our aim is a grand one, the destruction of the old, vile world."
(Stalin's Secret War- Nikolai Tolstoy)

This is the attitude of every bloodthirsty utopian toward the peacenik saps they use to further their aims.

Yeah, Sure...

"My husband has not withheld a single document," said Clinton.

If you said that or I said that one could reasonably assume that we meant that there were no documents being withheld.However this is a Clinton speaking so we have to assume that because she said that they havent withheld a 'single' document that we can therefore logically conclude that they are withholding 'many' documents, a situation not excluded by the above quotation. Oh course the fatheads in the press are too stupid or in love to ask her about the lawsuit being pressed to force them to release the documents that they arent withholding but we all know the underlying truth; Hilly Girl's White House experience consisted of Bimbo Eruptions, Travel Office frame-ups and illegal fundraising. The same reporters that spent eight years trying to braid their nose hairs with the one's in Bill's butt are not ever going to ask a follow-up question or press a point with The Little Woman.

UPDATE! Her husband HASNT withheld a single document! The key weasel-word was not 'single' , as I had speculated, but 'husband'. Hillary and Bruce Lindsay have been in charge of the papers that are in question, not BJ! HRC is not releasing them for the above-stated obvious reasons.

Oh Mutt...Your Pink Slip Is Showing!

Seventy years of failed government retraining programs are no hindrance to proposing more if you're a genius like Mutt Romney. This opportunist masquerading as a conservative (until he wins the nomination) cant even keep his liberal instincts under wraps during the primaries. 'If there's a problem I must have a PLAN!' is a liberal mantra from the days of FDR. Maybe vote-buying and pandering have just become endemic to the system. He's proposing a whole new batch of Programs to retrain factory workers who are losing their jobs to China. Nice idea, except it never works.
My son teaches a course in computer graphics, at a community college where the cost is minimal and also at an expensive private training school. The students at the community college do not take the class seriously and the one's that are paying for the instruction out of their own pockets do. Free government giveaways NEVER work. Especially if the recipients of the largess are humiliated and insulted by being forced to take it or lose other 'benefits'. Even the most well-intentioned blue-collar worker placed in a classroom after thirty years on the job is going to be suffering a great deal of angst at having to start from square one after his life has been flushed down the toilet by some MBA punk fresh out of business school. A know-it-all kid with a college degree like the ones that are looking at him like some pitiable welfare case at the job training center.
Another unworkable plan by a Compassionate Conservative (aka Liberal).

The Spin Doctor Is In!

The Mask Slipped

Tuesday's Democratic debate was actually a real shocker! Who would have thought that the Queen, Her Royal Thighness herself , coasting to her inevitable coronation could get so badly derailed in a Democratic (!) debate. There wasnt a conservative around for miles! What kind of a threat did the pack of hapless weasels that flanked her on the stage present? Spineless empty shirt Obama? The other drunken slice of bread in Ted Kennedy's waitress sandwich Dodd? Dennis Kook-Sin-Itch? The Dumbest Man In The Senate, Joe Biden (BTW rumor has it that in the re-make of 'Wizard Of Oz' the group will wander into a Biden campaign rally and will be put soundly to sleep by one of his speeches)? John 'Girlie-Man' Edwards, whose total irrationality only goes unnoticed because of his irrelevance? Or finally, Mystery Man Bill Richardson, who is going to employ the same diplomatic magic he used in North Korea to keep Iran from nuking up (its a mystery that anyone could envision this bland functionary as a candidate)? Not exactly formidable opponents. After all, these dudes kept mum while their Pantsuited FrontRunner was hogging the front page taking bribes from Chicom criminals. I guess they're not too eager to tangle with the Clinton Crime Family's Propaganda Division.
It was a beautiful evening in the City Of Brotherly Love (hey that's sexist, isnt it?) and many happy Democrats marched outside, their concern for the environment touchingly evident.
Fashion seems to be everything to these chic demonstrators and they were all there for our girl Hilly. Everything was there for a glowing Clinton Evening. Even the Friendly Media put two Masters of Ceremonies notorious for their pro-Hilly partisanship.
So what the hell went wrong?
The first thing was the 'debate' on who could give the most cringingly spineless reaction to Iran developing nukes. I trembled at the thought of one of these nebbishes in charge of our foreign policy. As they blurbled on about the courageous diplomacy they would employ to denuke the bloodthirsty, ruthless vermin who run Iran I recalled a line from Edward Gibbon's 'Decline And Fall', "Persuasion is the tactic of the weak, but the weak are rarely persuasive." Russert asked each of these rarely persuasive losers if they would pledge to keep Iran from getting nukes and Hilly stumbled. She was probably thinking about her hubby BJ's egregious failures to keep Pakistan and North Korea non-nuclear and she started equivocating. Blipity-Blap, Blappity-Bloop, lots of loopholes just in case Ahmadinajahd doesnt want to stop his nuke
program to avoid a scathing editorial in the New York Times. Not Presidential. Later Russert asked why she was keeping phone transcripts of chit-chat between her and BJ during the Golden Presidency Years locked away in the Clinton Lie-Berry And Massage Parlor while she was running on her White House experience. Well, er, um you cant rush those bureaucrats, ahem, uhum and er, uh, other Presidents do it all the time, yatta, yatta. She sounded like one of the corporate bigwigs testifying in front of Henry Waxman. Very Presidential-- President Nixon Presidential.
You'd think she didnt want to talk about the Bimbo Eruptions, questionable fund-raising, perjury and Travel Office trivia that defined her record as First Lady.
And finally Russert dropped the Big One. Illegal alien drivers licenses, licenses that would let people like the Kook-Sin-Itch supporter pictured here vote in elections formerly restricted to US citizens. She was for it except that she was against it except when governors want it and er, um the people who live in the shadows, dont you know. Now this is a tough one for any Democrat. They're aching to give their undocumented Amigos all the benefits that the Gub-mint can dispense in return for their votes, after all even the wettest mojado knows the program from years of the PRI buying their support in Mexico. The tricky part is that there is ample evidence that Actual Americans are furious at this truckling to lawbreakers. This is an issue that can destroy her and every other Democrat and she blew it BIG TIME!
So in the aftermath the Clinton Crime Family launched an assault on the winner of the debate, Tim Russert. Poor Tim was last seen drinking cheap Tokay from a bag-covered bottle behind a liquor-store dumpster crying about the White House State Dinner invitations he was never going to get. Meanwhile the Spin Machine was changing the subject from Hilly's inadequate answers to the fact that her opponents 'piled on'. As though those wimps had anything to do with it. She beat up herself.

Kraut-Hammered

I usually agree with everything Charles Krauthammer writes. He is one of my favorite commentators. But today he suggested sending the lovable BJ down to Argentina to be near the newly elected female President Kirshner. That's like making Harpo Marx the women's locker room monitor. Why travel that far anyway? Her policies will make this country seem like Argentina, with its worthless currency, moribund economy and gigantic and ineffective government.
Krauthammer was worried about the implications of an ex-President living in the White House and wielding what in this case would probably be enormous influence. I dont see a problem in a way. Whatever you say about BJ and his Bimbos or any of the Clinton's other personal stuff you have to admit that they're pretty close in their love of power. They can easily divide responsibilities; she'll govern For The Children and he can take a hands-on approach to women's issues and they can work hand in hand to tax and oppress the rest of us into poverty. So, Chuckie my boy, dont worry that America's favorite power couple are doing an end run around the 22nd Amendment, once Her Thighness appoints Dennis Kucinich, Chuck Schumer and Ronnie Earle to the Supreme Court our Living Constitution will turn somersaults that will make your jaw drop!

The Jerkinator Is A Total Genius

In a TV interview our esteemed Governator said that marijuana isnt a drug, its a leaf. When is a leaf not a leaf? Dude, when its a drug! Now this caused me some consternation; so much so that I dropped my pipe in mid-hit and a burning ember put a totally giant hole in my Ronald Reagan T-Shirt. Dont you hate when that happens? I mean, I got totally turned around; after all cocaine comes from a leaf, so I guess when you process it it turns into a drug. But then does that make hashish a drug?And heroin comes from a plant but not from the leaves so that is actually totally a drug. Amphetemines come from Sudafed, which isnt a plant or a leaf. But what about Peyote buttons and mushrooms? Here, wait, left me fire up my pipe and I'll get back to you on this complex problem. AHHHHHHHH..... I've decided that I dont give a shit.
In the 60's we used to often recite the wise adage, "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope." Social Security is going broke, taxes are about to rise to levels that would make a serf in the Middle Ages go ballistic and lets face it, whatever small niches of the economy that will remain unnationalized wont be functioning very well, so we're looking at massive unemployment and a worthless currency. Now this situation might upset some people but we're just a few bong-hits away from it all being OK. We just update the old bread-and-circus routine that the Roman Empire invented to an internet-food stamps-sensemilla regime and just Chill Out! We can even download Arnold's movies, some of which are stoner classics (Conan 1&2 and the 2 Terminators, for example). Our truncated and wasted military and our nationalized energy companies will take the threat of stoned drivers off the table by immobilizing most automobile traffic;in fact, unused Hummers and Navigators would make totally awesome places to toke, the sound systems could be powered by solar panels on the roof.So, like, in this next Depression instead of getting all depressed and stuff like those old dudes did in the 1930's, lets just kick back and enjoy! Oh yeah, we could also include Vicoden and Valiums in the Free Health Care because they go really good with smoking dope.

Higher Rates/ Lower Revenues

Wrangel and the Dems have announced a gigantic tax increase in their quest to 'fix' the Alternative Minimum Tax, and one that makes the tax system much more steeply progressive.
They even describe giving increased 'tax refunds' (aka handouts) to people who dont pay taxes as a 'tax cut'. Its buying votes. Steeply skewing the tax system to milk the productive and hand out free goodies to all and sundry is a sure recipe for decline and poverty. The government's total take of the national income will go up even if you dont factor in the fact that the GNP will spiral down as a result of this bill.
How can these morons (the libs) be aiming to make the same disastrous mistake all over again? High, steeply progressive tax rates crush the economy, raising the cost of existing government giveaway programs. The European Socialist countries have 10-15% unemployment rates and zero growth. There is no example, either now or any time in history, where the policies advocated by the Dems today have not added up to economic disaster. The people who will be most affected will be the Boomer/Yuppies, smugly secure, clutching their fat 401k statements and looking at the plump, well-funded pension plans that they are a part of. That wealth and the equity in your house (already under attack by soaring property tax rates) are the most obvious targets for a greedy, desperate welfare state trying to staunch a Niagara of red ink and seeking ever more harsh means of wealth redistribution. The same dolts that complain about their rising property taxes and declining schools will happily march to the polls and vote for the party that promises free goodies at the expense of someone else. These same people will be standing in the soup line wondering what went wrong.

Jindal Shows We Can Win

Louisiana has been a Democratic State since the days of Huey Long in the 1930's. Even though it started voting Republican in the national elections in 1968 the local elections, especially in New Orleans, still put plenty of Democrats into office. Enough to make it an economic backwater, depending on the oil and chemical industries to keep its economy afloat. But slowly that had been changing as the successful governments of neighboring states showed the folly of the tax-the-wealthy/give-more-handouts philosophy of government. Things were beginning to change. The Dem's started losing their edge.
In 2002 on election day, when it looked like Mary Landrieu was going to lose her Senate seat, Bill Clinton and Donna Brazile got on the phone to party hack officials in New Orleans and within an hour the school buses were out of the parking lots and into the neighborhoods, picking up Democratic voters and delivering them to the polls. But three years later, when Hurricane Katrina approached, the phones were silent. Instead of doing their duty the hack officials fled and the buses stayed in their parking lot. Karma Baby! Its funny that the state that George Bush (according to all you libs) gave the back of his hand to has become so firmly Republican. Maybe the price of decades of pure Democratic corruption (Ms. Landrieu's father being one of the worst) sunk in to the people of Louisiana as the water started pouring over the levees that were supposedly managed by the Demo cronies on the levee commissions.
And when the governor's race rolled around all the usual candidates were swamped by Bobby Jindal, a free-enterprise conservative. The once faithful and plentiful school-bus voters in the New Orleans slums had migrated to fatter welfare checks in other states and there werent enough remaining to turn the tide for the libs. Now that snivelling panhandler Mary Landrieu has her job on the line. With fewer brain-dead welfare slugs on the voting rolls her prospects look dim in '08, especially with a Clinton ticket mobilizing conservatives to get to the polls upstate.
The Corrupt Big Government past of the Dems has come back to haunt them here. We can win seats in the Senate and the Presidency on issues like this. The Dems are weak in a lot of places on the corruption/competence issue if we go on the offensive.
