Enjoyed the read, that was a good analogy...unique...not the same-old, same old.

“Tok, tok, tok” with the teleprompter is about the size of it.

It’s as if the original cargo cultists one day walked to the far end of their own island to discover that John Frum was mining gold out of their own land and using their stolen gold to buy presents for his followers.

Good article but bad analogy.

In this metaphor, JF isn't taking anything away from the islanders, since they didn't know the gold was there or that it had value. They certainly didn't work to create the gold.

In America's case, the "gold" is our work and our future. It is being stolen from us so BO can give (some of) it back to us as "presents."

This is something entirely different.

People who pay little or no taxes voted for Obama in overwhelming numbers, while the taxpaying middle class as a group gave him the fewest votes of any income group.

Andrew Wilkow (Sirius/XM talkshow host) sums it up nicely: Zero-liability voters.

Wish I could find a way to stick a copy of this in every person’s mailbox.
