"I am not going on this mission for the Emperor or for the Empire...I am going because I was ordered to." These words were spoken by one of Japan's first kamikaze pilots, Lieutenant Yukio Seki, after being compelled to volunteer for a suicide mission. Though apprehensive, the pilot maintained the insight to comprehend that "Japan's future was pale if it was forced to kill one of its best pilots."
So it is in Washington, D.C. as a "divine wind" blows through the nation's capital. Although in the majority, Democrats are experiencing decreased capacity to successfully wage political war. Disregarding plummeting polls and lost elections, which comprise a formidable opposing armada amassing on the horizon; Barack Obama remains resolute in his reluctance to surrender.
During WWII, Takijiro Onishi, Vice-Admiral of the Japanese Navy, faced down a huge invasion in the Philippines. Anticipating crushing defeat, Onishi requested that the suicide Thunder God Corps be utilized as a tactic to assure that Japanese bombs made contact with American warships. Human being-guided, bomb-laden aircraft on a volatile suicide collision with enemy targets is a tactic that bomb-thrower Obama may employ if he passes health care reform by detonating the "nuclear option" of reconciliation.

I had thought of these parallels, too. Good article.
It is almost suicidal, in a cult-like sense. Watching these Democrats over Obamacare. I have never seen anything like it They must know this is their last chance to rig the system by controlling 17% of the US Economy which will be their only foot in the door to eventually expand to a Socialist State with uncontrolled and unstoppable, absolute power for the next 100 years. And they have waited since the 1920s for this. From Norman Thomas and Henry A. Wallace to Gus Hall and Benjamin Spock.
These Marxists who are realizing that they cannot so cavalierly and without a fight take over an essentially non-Marixan country, and are going bonkers as a result. Total flame out. There are interesting parallels to desperate, hopelessly inward looking Imperial Japanese Fascism in its final death throes, and what the Obongo Administration has in store for itself politically, which they know, which is forcing them into this lemming-like fireball of political self-immolation. It is all or nothing at all. Just like they are apt to say in their Cuban form, Socialismo o Muerte. Socialism or Death.
They are truly kamikazes. They are true to form.
勝か死ぬか、それしかない。
The fascist NSDAP in Germany stuck with Hitler right to the end. It parallels the kamikaze phenomenon. Don’t know what causes that mindset.
We may be witnessing the death of the democrat party. I’m hoping a million or more rats flee America and emigrate to their political homelands - North Korea and Zimbabwe.
Love to see the whole worthless party die out very painfully.
The parallels with Imperial Japan are impressive:
Awaken a sleeping giant (The TEA party/American people))
Worship a God King.
Go down in flames.
Though I personally liken the Dem Healthcase debacle not to the Kamaikazes, but to the equally suicidal and tactically pointless last voyage of the lumbering Yamamoto.
I don't think they "realize" that at all. They are, with many other devices beyond health care as their weapons, proceeding to in fact take over the country. Read the below post:

They think that if they can only manage to jam this giant syringe of entitlement heroin into the American arm, we will become their slaves forever.
They may be right.
You’re right, and that’s why we need to fight it ‘till the end. If it does pass, then we need ideas on how to defy and work around/against it. Then we make sure every commie f&ck who voted for it pays with his/her job...not just this year, but every election until they’re ALL GONE. Consequences for actions, after all.
More like COMMIEkaze demonRATS.
They should ALL be permanently exported to some God-forsaken socialist/communist police-state hell-hole.
Calling all ACK ACK gunners. It’s time to lock and load.
At least those men in the grey went down fighting for a cause which one could perhaps identify with, particularly if one is from the South and one's ancestors fought in that war for the C.S.A. But to go down in a patently suicidal, got-nothing-to-loose Pickett's Charge trying to Marxism-ize the United States? What a bunch of idiots.
