Head Smashed In?
There is a town in Alberta, Canada with the evocative name of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. It takes its name from a geologic feature that North American Indians used to hunt bison. The Indians would stealthily arrange themselves around a herd of bison and, at a signal, jump up and alarm the herd into a stampede. By their strategic positioning, the Indians would cause the herd to stampede over a cliff (the buffalo jump) thus killing or sufficiently injuring the animals so that they’d be short work for Indians waiting below the cliff.
The Obama administration has been using buffalo jump hunting on the Congress and the American people. It is at the root of Rahm Emmanuel’s now notorious comment that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” The “Stimulus” was one such stampede — Congress didn’t even take the time to read the bill before running [us] over the buffalo jump. The current one is the “Health Care Crisis”. Everyone run in fear! Obama will show us the “escape route”; in our rush to “safety” we won’t heed the fatal drop in front of us. Next will come the “Carbon Crisis”. And then...well, save something for next year. Run out of crises? Manufacture one.
If the American people don’t stop stupidly rushing headlong from every phoney Rahm-crisis their first awareness of impending doom will be on the ride down from the buffalo jump of disaster.
America needs to be punished for allowing our government to commit the crimes they do. We want to punish Julian Assange for showing that our government murdered innocent civilians knowingly.
America,we need to hide our faces in shame,we are no different than ISIS.
Oops nevermind. I can see it now. I read it both ways.
Weird question on the unemployment number. Back in Reagan’s day, did they use the U6 number (which is very high right now) or the U3 number (which is at the 4.9%) to determine the unemployment rate.
