Obama and his ilk are wont to ensky Alinsky…

Cloudy here and maybe rain later on, but hoped for work did not materialize-maybe tomorrow...

The emperor is desperate-
To sell his obamascare plan-
It is far more unpopular
Than last year, when he ran

He’s going to sports guys,
Hoping they will ensky it-
But no matter who pitches it
No one is inclined to buy it

The only ones who want it
Are those of the Roman mob
Who will get in free anyway,
Since they won’t even get a job

And my dad used to call that “preaching to the choir”...

I’ve been obsessed with the similarities with that book for a few years now, and it reinforced almost every day. And I probably shouldn’t have started reading This Perfect Day again right now, the way things are in the world and all-next thing you know, I may be packing up and taking off looking for an island of folks like me, like in the book...

Another book with lost of creepy parallel's to today is "The Forgotten Man, A New History of the Great Depression" by Amity Schlaes and it's not even fiction.

Most politicians are pretty easy to pigeonhole. McCain is a bit of an outlier. I generally agree with him about 50% of the time, whereas I will agree with Ted Cruz 100% of the time, and Barack Obama 0% of the time.

A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.

Very fine. Loved your rhyming “ensky it” with “buy it.”

Thank you! It was just the right short word to do that with...

I don’t think I’ve read that-but when I’m finished with “This Perfect Day”, I think I’ll read Jack Whyte’s series about post Roman Britain again-lots of love, humor, courage, etc...

Rather than be enskied, Obama should be consigned to the unquenchable fires of Gehenna.

The World drew a red line? Puhleeze! Then let their bombers fly and their boys bleed!


America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
