The Democratic Party and the Language of Bankruptcy

What does a political regime do when its philosophy doesn’t work and is leading to ruin? It can’t scrap the philosophy, which is its raison d’être and the basis of its power. Were it to chuck the philosophy, its core constituencies would abandon it. So instead it blames those who have most cogently pointed out the defects of the philosophy...

Well written article.

FLOP-A-RAMA----THE SAGA OF OBAMA and his "smart" progressive advisors.

He was all set to sail to reelection.

At a crucial stage in the 2007 Democratic primaries, Obama gave a barnstorming speech, ending with a promise of what his victory would produce: "A nation healed. A world repaired. An America that believes again." But the bankrupt world he created would not cooperate.

He threw trillions of stimulus at anything that moved but the sagging economy would not cooperate.

He was all set to take credit for the debt ceiling bill--but the stock market took a dive and would not cooperate.

He catered to Third World tyrants and terrorists to shore up his base--as independents ran for the hills.

We ain't seen nuttin' yet. God knows what the Marxist progressive will tell him to do next.

"Americans are too stupid to understand how smart you are."

"What does a political regime do when its philosophy doesn’t work and is leading to ruin?"

But the obamanation regime's philosophy IS working. We're going bankrupt. That is their intention.

I’m looking forward to Barkey spending more time with his family.

“”What does a political regime do when its philosophy doesn’t work and is leading to ruin?””

Bails out the media.

Yes, I too am tired of the “they don't know what to do” excuse from the so called “conservative” pundits at NR. The Bolsheviks in the WH know exactly what they are doing.

Amazing, isn’t it, how so many, even on our side, STILL don’t get what is happening.

Hey! Don’t forget the oceans stopped rising, the climate stabilized, we haven’t had any more planes fly into buildings, no asteroids raining down! The rest of the world doesn’t hate us anymore! All is right with the world!/sarc

Oops---I forgot all that---LOL.

=======================================

ANALYSIS We see in London the savage effects of "diversity" and political correctness, amid the destruction of Western civilization.

Fundamental conventions were smashed by a liberal intelligentsia hell-bent on a revolutionary transformation of society.

We'll pay a price for the eradication of marriage, the two-parent family, employment and educational meritocracy, failure to enforce drug laws and other criminal laws designed to maintain the stability of a society.......

Sap-happy liberals' empowering misfits has led to chaos......in London and around the world.

What is most evident here is the looters and pillagers' "sense of entitlement" ...... that they are entitled to the proceeds of other peoples' work and labor.

Seeing these savages in action, makes it understandable why civilized societies kept these savages subjugated. They simply do not know how to behave in a civilized world.
