From Meccania to Atlantis - Part 12: Swallowed by Leviathan

Recently, I was at a boomer backyard barbecue in Boston.The males had Ivy League degrees and high incomes evident in subtle ways. The wives who were white had the perfect cheekbones and teeth that only generations of breeding and expensive maintenance can produce. The nonwhite wives had PhD’s instead.

The host in a Yes We Can T-shirt sneezed. “Barack you!” said a preppie-looking man, and explained with a broad smile that it’s a new locution replacing “Bless you.”

I walked up to the Obamapod and said, “I like your barackhlo line.”

“It’s Barack you,” he said, with the typical linguistic obtuseness of the American born-and-bred, of which genus he turned out to be a prize specimen. A Harvard MD, native of North Carolina, smart and personable, he told me how he grew up in a genteel and racist home where only the N-word was used to refer to Afro-Americans. He also said that since Barack Obama’s election he was at last able to breathe.

“...step outside the swamp and construct a new civilization.”

My favorite phrase.

More and more people need to refuse to play the game.

All I can say is, I’m glad I missed that barbecue. Down here in Texas we like to think that God is still in charge. How parochial of us I reckon.

Hard reading, but worth the effort. A thoughtful, reasoned analysis.

Wow! One of the longest, most cogent, and most enjoyable RANTS I’ve ever waded through! Ann Coulter writ LARGE! And writ very well, although I didn’t find much guidance beyond “stepping out or the swamp” into... where?

Being a simple old fellow, I found the whole piece taking me often back to the youngsters prone to say, “Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out!” Whew! A lot of work!

"...Down here in Texas we like to think that God is still in charge. ..."

the civil War will start in TX IMHO, as that is the place with the most spine.
