"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Did he forget he IS Washington? Maybe he thinks he's still in Chicago. At any rate, it's patently obvious he's unable and unwilling to solve any of our problems. Total incompetent.
44 live lizards in his pants?! Yikes! I have enough trouble dealing with the one large anaconda in mine.... ;^)
Steyn knows how to turn a phrase, that much is certain....
Mark Steyn is rapidly moving up to the level of Dr. Thomas Sowell in his communication abilities.
Barack Obama’s talking reminds me of Jim Jones long tirades over the microphone at Jonestown. Dictator stuff.
Wrong, Barry. I get it. I know exactly what you're talking about.
I just don't want it.
Now do you get it?
I beg your pardon?!?
Im liking Steyn more and more every time i hear him.
...the public thinks Obama doesnt get it, and Obama thinks the public doesnt get it. And as hes got the microphone, hes gonna keep talking at you until you do get it. This is going to be another case where the media, seeking to help the Democrat by being his microphone, performs in a way that destroys the Democrat. That's because most reporters are like Obama: they don't get it. You can already see in the "news" coverage of the Republican retreat that reporters think that the significant items were the things Obama said. This is true to the point that we need to find out which idiot Republicans thought it would be a good idea to invite Obama to come and steal their show and all the news coverage about it, and make sure those people get primaried so that they lose their leadership positions. Here is the "news" from what ought to have been an opportunity for Republicans to score some points:
I do not believe that the media companies will wake up in time to save themselves. The remaining days of the Obama Administration are likely to also be the remaining days of the 'mainstream' media. In the 1970's, the reporters figured out that Carter was bad news in time to stop singing his praises before they lost their own credibility. That isn't going to happen here; we can already see that most of these "journalists" are going to go down with the Obama ship, still singing Nearer, My Obama, to Thee as they drown in their own lies. |
This sums up the root of the collapse. Obama casually rejects any law he doesn't like and imposes a change by fiat. The resulting country is not a country governed by the rule of law, and if he doesn't stop soon, everything that has distinguished us and made us special for 200+ years will be in ruins.
Steyn hits all the obvious points any entrepreneur immediately grasps and that the liberals determinedly avoid discussing, in his throughly engaging way.
Lack of consist rules (rule of law), a determined effort to grow government workers (and thereby big government voters), plus increasingly larger deficits leads to only one outcome: a bleeding to death of private enterprise and the American Dream.
Government is a parasite, it produces nothing but regulations, growing bureacracies, and taxes to pay for it all.
That’s why our nation was designed under the constitution to LIMIT government to those few defined tasks listed in the constitution.
The progressives have successfully replaced the principle in our jurisprudence branch of government from intrepreting the constitution literally to unduly respecting precedence where succeeding liberal/progressive rulings have sucessfully moved the goal post of constitutionality far past the boundaries originally imposed.
It’s time to re-set the goalpost on the 100 yard lines, and put government back in it’s box.
It will take many dedicated conservatives to do this, but our options are, as they were many years ago, Liberty or Death of our economic system and freedoms.
Join a Tea Party in your neighboorhood today. Join your state republican party, and work to recruit strong conservative candidates. Support strong conservative candidates with direct donations. Donations to the Repulican National Committee may just as likely be sent to RHINO candidates rather than strong conservatives. Don’t let the RNC make the decision for you, make it yourself as to which candidates to support.
We have a great opportunity in November 2010 to make a start in recruiting a congressional class that will insist on moving the goalposts back to where they are supposed to be, but it will take all of us working hard and smart to do so, and it will not be accomplished easily.
Go team go...
Steyn hits it out of the park.
Best (and funniest) analysis of Obama’s State of the Union rantings I have read.
“Thats why Obama is such a job-killer. Why would a small business take on a new employee?”
This particular paragraph is truly brilliant. Mark is one of my favorite writers and I look forward to reading him.
