Brutal Truth

With characteristically brutal incisiveness, Billy Beck writes this:

"People are rooting for this guy."
That was Joe Scarborough, just now, on Obama.

I am not. A massive failure of the Obama program is essential, now, to any future prospects of American life. No socialist will ever be granted my approval, and that includes this one. All calls for "bi-partisan support" come from moral cowards -- human worms -- and must be met with "patriotism" to the ideal of freedom. I just heard some scandalous imbecile of a journalist saying that, "If your heart isn't swelling with patriotic pride today, then there is just something wrong with you."


This whole Roman decline freak show going on across the nation today is scaring the hell out of me. Bread will not stop the rioting and circuses will not quell the unrest. The bleating of inanities rising to crescendo today will not uncover the slide into socialism with nationalization of our industries and deterioration of our freedoms.

It is frightening to say, but it is necessary. The goals of the Obama administration, if they are pursued as they have been expressed, must be failures...abject failures. If the level of failure is too subtle to notice, the Republic is doomed and the grand experiment will have slipped from the pinnacle of our greatness.

Can you imagine what the Libs would have said had GWB messed up the Oath of office the way President Obama did?

But seriously I think JS may be right, I certainly am not swelling with pride that a socialist got elected by half the electorate....remember almost half of us voted against him

We have to make up a new nomenclature to describe the finer points of this contemporary manifestation of socialism. It's a combination of political economy and social engineering mitigated in the sociopathic marketplace of political correctness, euro/male/heterosexual guilt and multiculturalism-at-any-cost. The winners in this political marketplace run a sort of protection racket whereby all energy and creativity must pay a sort of emotional (and of course material) graft to the powers-that-be. It combines the historical theories of sick minds like Heidegger, Marx and Nietzsche, with the sleeze of the forced 60s hippie death march down freak-out street, and, like you say, Ed, greased over with lots of bread and circuses.... What do we call it? Corporate Socialism? The Age of Mental Engineering? Sublimated Mass Hysteria Breakdown Culture? Hundreds of years from now historians will write, "What really astonished the people of those times was the sudden and dizzying realization that Prozac, notwithstanding it's subtle yet dramatic effects upon society, was just the beginning...."
