We don't expect miracles from Presidents, even from those who pretend they can perform them, so we haven't been among those blaming Barack Obama for running a government that can't plug a well a mile under the sea. We've left that outrage to his one-time cheering section on the left, which has been begging Mr. Obama, imploring him, berating him, to locate and unleash his inner demagogue in reaction to the Gulf disaster.
What a spectacle this has been, with the anchors from MSNBC, the various columnists and his Newsweek Boswells furious and frustrated that the President hasn't demanded the heads of BP executives on pikes. All he's done so far is allow his Attorney General to loudly announce a criminal investigation of the spill—nothing demagogic about that—in mid-crisis and without any apparent criminal behavior on the public record.

All the regulation in the world won’t beat bribes and kickbacks...
“The Ties That Bind: Rahm Emanuels Rent Free D.C. Apartment. The Owner? A BP Advisor!!”

Is it fair to say that fascism is "hyper regulatory capture"?

I think what all those liberal pundits really wanted wasn’t so much ANGER as a sign that Obama gives a rat’s ass about what is happening. It’s obvious he doesn’t, and it frustrates even them, his co-conspirators.
The left yearns for Obama to have the kind of power Stalin had. Just declare the BP executives to be “wreckers” and have them shot.
Mark my words, the Barking Obama sees this issue as an opportunity to promote his energy agenda and that means hijacking another industry and calling it reform.
Just the opinion of an old engineer....
What you’re really seeing out of both the “leadership” in DC and their ‘rat supporters is the same reaction you’d get out of one of the kids at the McDonalds counter when the power fails.
They’re real good at command, control and using technology to get what they want, but they don’t have the first clue about the basics of what makes ANYTHING function.
Kid at McDonalds can’t make change for a buck if the computer isn’t lit up, The O can’t make a speech or cite a regulation to make the oil spill go away so both of ‘em go to hissy fits and beat on the machine to make it better.
Me?
I just don’t work very well anymore for or with ignorant a$$holes, so I’m shrugging.
So many people that are on the edge, but wont let go of the old old union would be forcefully pushed over the edge by that. All that is holding us back is our unwillingness to "run with the bulls" and fully give ourselves over to the outrage, anger, fear and even hate that the marxists have generated within us. We fear the consequences of letting go of civility but only until we fear the consequences of NOT letting go even more.

These are the barbarous hordes, the pagans, the tyrants and the mind numbed idiots. This is the enemy... They will continue to grow stronger and more bold (as history has shown) they will eventually consume us all, unless and until we hate them enough to either separate ourselves from them or them from their mortal coil.

We need to keep hammering away at Obama being the largest recipient of campaign cash from BP. Way more than Bush or McCain. Last night a lib said that Republicans will have trouble with voters since they are big recipients of oil money. Of course the host or other talking head didn’t mention BO’s coffures.
“We fear the consequences of letting go of civility but only until we fear the consequences of NOT letting go even more.”
I won’t let go of civility. There is such a thing as righteous anger within the parameters of civility.
I know some libs,
and they do indeed think that the elected leftist officials have only beneficient hearts, are smarter than anyone else, and can do no wrong.
I said “what about Maxine Waters?”
“Who?”
what's your zombie plan?
It is “civility” and the left’s DEMAND for civility from us that has led us to take step after step backwards while they took over the country and enslaved the taxpayer.
We just looked over our shoulder and saw the cliff...
There are no more “steps back”.
I consider going to war a “letting go of civility”.
I guess there may be a measure of civility that can be incorporated after the battle is over and the injured and dead are cared for.
The entire point is that we are going to have to go to war with these people before we will be free of them and their influence. Either through outright revolution or after we secede. They will hang on to our jugular until they spit their last breath or we are drained of life.
“I consider going to war a “letting go of civility”.”
I don’t. When it is righteous it is the very protecting of civility. There is nothing decent or civil or righteous about Evil. No body has to enjoy war.
lol.. fine...
You win.
As long as your willing to go to war with these evil bastards then we are on the same side and I have no desire to argue the meaning of a word. I humbly retire from the argument and admit that I may have used the word improperly or, perhaps should have chose a better and more accurate word to describe my meaning.
