Another piece outta the park from Mr. Greenfield.
The Pussy Willow Brigade currently ensconced in the White House stings but it does not devour. In truth Obama is incapable of making lasting change in this republic. The spirit of its people is not quenched. When we are rid of these pests we will rebuild stronger than we have ever been.
The forces of evil in the world sense weakness in us. They are wrong. We patiently await the return of great leadership and the celebration of our morality and our essential goodness. Those days will come, whether by vote or blood, they will come.
The Putins, Khomeinis and Obamas of our nightmares may have free reign for a time but their days are numbered. We will rid our world of tyrannies foreign and domestic and will, once again, be a shining city on a mountain of might built on right.
Bring it on dilettantes. We are more than a match for your puerile japes.
Putin is playing the part of the great leader, while Obama disguises the enormous power he wields by acting more like Ellen...
Putin is posturing as a great leader, yes; 0bama is posturing as what he imagines as an ordinary American citizen, and that scares the hell out of me. The difference is that I could imagine Putin putting a bullet through the head of a political opponent; I can only imagine 0bama ordering someone else to do out out of sight and earshot. There isn't much difference to the guy on the receiving end.
It isn't after all, posing as an average citizen that got 0bama elected, it was posing as an otherworldly, messianic offering from a better liberal world, complete with styrofoam Greek columns. That's a pretty hard pose to keep up in a world that tends to shatter such illusions, and only the most determined True Believer can squeeze his or her eyes shut tightly enough to maintain the illusion. There are plenty of those, to be sure, but they are dwindling to a group that doesn't resemble average American citizens much either. The Dems have but one hope: to portray 0bama and Hillary, phony, superficial, and incompetent as they are in real life, as preferable to whatever monster they can make the Republican candidate out to be. That requires image-building of a much easier, mendacious, and dishonorable nature, and they're good at it.
A special ping to a special guy. You are on the list.
LOL
Ah, another great dose of reality dished out by the Grand Sultan.
“They have become social media shut ins, expert at navigating the narrow bubbles of online and offline elitist social networks, but blink in confusion when they are pulled away from the computer long enough to see lines of troops moving into another country.”
wow...just wow...so true!
