But that was then, and this is now. As the historian Robert Dallek told Obama recently, "War kills off great reform movements." As the Washington Post's E.J. Dionne reminded the president, his supporters voted for him not to win a war but to win a victory on health care and other domestic issues. Obama's priorities lie not in the Hindu Kush but in America: Why squander your presidency on trying to turn an economically moribund feudal backwater into a functioning nation state when you can turn a functioning nation state into an economically moribund feudal backwater?

And all of his attempts to turn the US into a feudal backwater are completely illegal, unconstitutional, and criminal.
But nobody is doing anything to stop him.
Watch this video from Conan that BOR played last night it is a hoot.

True, but it means nothing unless and until someone with “juice” steps up to the plate and challenges the legality of what he’s doing. Right now it’s mostly whining and howls of outrage by we, the people. When with the USSC put an end to it? If it’s not done through the courts, it will likely be done on the streets, and no one is going to like that outcome.
Dang, the guy’s so good so consistently.
Ouch, bad typo—”when with” should have been “when will.”
I want to see somebody do a spoof of Michelleda Marcos’ reaction when Obama said he was going to donate the 1.4 mil to charity.
“Oh no you dinnuh!”
“Oh no you dinnuh!”
“Oh no you dinnuh!”
"And I still want to know exactly WHEN Obama's name was submitted to the committee, and BY WHOM. As I understand it, the nomination had to come from an existing Nobel laureate".
Ditto!
Gore? Carter?
This is gonna be extra good. LOL
I wish I could come up with stuff like this.
So, th.
Obammasiah is going to donate the Nobel Prize money to charity.
Wanna bet it goes to some commie group like ACORN or another black racist church?
Perhaps some queer group as per Larry Sinclair’s recommendation
Loved that last night when BOR played it. So is Conan looking for a new job? Will NBC allow such distasteful displays against their prez?
We need a serious leader for a serious movement. The 9/12 event showed this can be done but unfortunately there’s no one stepping up with the gravitas, charisma and “juice” to take things to the next level, and beyond. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and we are losing our liberties by the day.
Steyn’s the bomb!
“Cranky mongoose”.....ineffable.
God I love Mark Steyn!
Pray for military intervention. I do. Every day.
great article.
tough times are coming folks, best to get ready. If war erupts in Iran, oil will go through the roof. that will mean less jobs, riots, etc.
stockpiling canned goods and a gun might be a good idea.

He makes it look so easy.
"Why squander your presidency on trying to turn an economically moribund feudal backwater (Afghanistan) into a functioning nation state when you can turn a functioning nation state (United States) into an economically moribund feudal backwater? - Mark Steyn
Brilliant. And precisely spot on!
That could not always have been the case, if that were so, who would have nominated the very first group of Nobel laureates.
Conan is going to get an anal probe from the WH......!!
I'd like to see CNN "fact check" that one!!
ROFLOL!!
I about fell out of my chair when I saw it.
It is very funny isn’t it?
People might not want to hear this, but the Senate Finance vote on Tuesday is a lot more important than the Nobel joke. Call, call, call your senators - especially Sen Lincoln and Sen Snowe. Call all of them. If the American people rise up, this monstrosity can be defeated.
Mark Levin nominated Rush last year.
It took the Nobel Prize to finally unveil the conspiracies of Ohaha/Rahm (and all the Dem sheeps in wolves clothing). When candidate Obama suggested he wanted to be another Reagan, the intent was to gull the electorate. Now the lefty Nobelists blew his cover.
Obama's handler, the wily Rahm Emanuel, duped the American electorate time and time again. (a) He ran the Marxist Ohaha as a clone of Ronald Reagan. (b) As 2006 Dem Congressional Campaign Committee Chair, Wonder Boy ran Godless, lefty Congressional candidates in solid Republican districts as "reverential believers."
Wonder Boy Rahm's motto: "Party First, America Last." The Wonder Boy is obsessed with party politics. Installing a permanent leftist majority of Dims is his game. This nasty toad evinces an utter contempt for US culture. Calculated Rahm softly/coyly speaks the language to appeal to American values, but this conniver is nothing more than a latter-day Uriah Heep. Like Uriah Heep, power-hungry Rahm feeds on others, and deploys self-serving strategies for his own self-absorbed purposes.
Dickens' ingratiating scoundrel (from David Copperfield) fits Rahm to a tee. Uriah Heep was notorious for wielding undue influence, a manipulative bounder who was always planning and plotting, ingratiating himself into the confidence of others. Uriah Heep was obsequious, manipulative, and wormed his way into positions of influence. Uriah was a consummate con man, and not to be trusted. Translated into the language of the popular culture, Uriah Heep Rahm, positions himself as amenable to American values but is insincere in these feelings; he uses issues and crises to advance his hidden agendas and political ambitions.
REFERENCE Obama was the Peace Prize winner b/c of the Committee's hopes for his world-impact -- but at home Obama has been on a roll . In 9 months, he has breathed life into Republicans, boosted pro-lifers, tarnished regulation, bolstered traditional values, increased the public's desire for immigration restriction, and shifted independent voters rightward......revivifying conservatism qualifies as a feat almost as miraculous as Moses turning back oceans. Gallup surveys are a long catalog of the Obama snap-back. 40% describe themselves as conservative -- a level last seen in 2004. 51% call themselves pro-life -- a significant shift. 57% say government is trying to do too many things best left to the private sector. It's the worst showing for govt regulation ever in a Gallup survey. When candidate Obama suggested he wanted to be "another Reagan," this wasn't what he had in mind. But for now, he's the right's best community organizer....for Republicans.

Pingeroo.


What seems to have happened is Obama has reached
The Nutty Professor stage and we are watching an old Jerry Lewis movie now
set in Washington and Norway.
Just before the go-karts chase sequence.
He sure does, Homer. ;^)
Why I love when he sits in for Rush.
The only way to survive the MFers on the left, their continual, constant & never ending barrage attacking the psyche is via laughter.
Laughter's something Mark's elevated to a science.
One day should Rush ever decide to retire, pursue his football schtick or whatever?
Mark's a perfect match for assuming command.

" Time to chill out. "
It’ll take place one sacrifice at a time. First the unborn, then elderly in death panels, then the jews, then the blacks etc etc... watch.
I hear zero loves the smell of Wall Streeters commiting suicide in the morning... kind of like during the WTC bombings.
That’s after abortion, the death panel for the elderly and cancer patients and blacks being run under the bus still waiting for that stimulus check.
I also have a liberal Obama voter who is this time moving out of the country to dodge the incoming draft. So much for fighting for his messiah and calling me a hater of Obama.
I mean that just makes the joke of Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize even funnier.
On their wedding night Michelle found out Barack wasnt circumcised. When she asked him about it, Obama said they were about to do the procedure but his mother instructed the doctor to perform a lobotomy instead.
A surprised Michelle asked why.
Obama replied his mother always knew that with his background he would grow up to be a ***khead

I love that.. I watch it every time I see the link it’s so funny. Did cnn fact check that too? LOL
Nobody turns a phrase with as much verve as Mark Steyn.
Well played, Mark.
