Perhaps youre having a tiny last minute qualm about voting Republican. Take heart. And take the House and the Senate. Yes, there are a few flakes of dander in the fair tresses of the GOPs crowning gloryan isolated isolationist or two, a hint of gold buggery, and Christine ODonnell announcing that shes not a witch. (I ask you, has Hillary Clinton ever cleared this up?) Fret not over Republican peccadilloes such as the Tea Party finding the single, solitary person in Nevada who couldnt poll ten to one against Harry Reid. Better to have a few cockeyed mutts running the dog pound than Michael Vick.
I take it back. Using the metaphor of Michael Vick for the Democratic party leadership implies they are people with a capacity for moral redemption who want to call good plays on the legislative gridiron. They arent. They dont. The reason is simple. They hate our guts.
They dont just hate our Republican, conservative, libertarian, strict constructionist, family values guts. They hate everybodys guts. And they hate everybody who has any. Democrats hate men, women, blacks, whites, Hispanics, gays, straights, the rich, the poor, and the middle class.
Democrats hate Democrats most of all. Witness the policies that Democrats have inflicted on their core constituencies, resulting in vile schools, lawless slums, economic stagnation, and social immobility. Democrats will do anything to make sure that Democratic voters stay helpless and hopeless enough to vote for Democrats.
Whence all this hate? Is it the usual story of love gone wrong? Do Democrats have a mad infatuation with the political system, an unhealthy obsession with an idealized body politic? Do they dream of capturing and ravishing representational democracy? Are they crazed stalkers of our constitutional republic?
No. Its worse than that. Democrats arent just dateless dweebs clambering upon the Statue of Liberty carrying a wilted bouquet and trying to cop a feel. Theirs is a different kind of love story. Power, not politics, is what the Democrats love. Politics is merely a way to powers heart. When politics is the technique of seduction, good looks are unnecessary, good morals are unneeded, and good sense is a positive liability. Thus Democrats are the perfect Lotharios. And politics comes with that reliable boost for pathetic egos, a weapon: legal monopoly on force. If persuasion fails to win the day, coercion is always an option.
Armed with the panoply of lawmaking, these moonstruck fools for power go about in a jealous rage. They fear powers charms may be lavished elsewhere, even for a moment.
Democrats hate success. Success could supply the funds for a power elopement. Fire up the Learjet. Flight plan: Grand Cayman. Democrats hate failure too. The true American loser laughs at legal monopoly on force. Hes got his own gun.
Democrats hate productivity, lest production be outsourced to someplace their beloved power cant go. And Democrats also hate us none-too-productive drones in our cubicles or behind the counters of our service economy jobs. Tax us as hard as they will, we modest earners dont generate enough government revenue to dress and adorn the power that Democrats worship.
Democrats hate stay-at-home spouses, no matter what gender or gender preference. Democratic advocacy for feminism, gay marriage, childrens rights, and reproductive choice is simply a way to invade -powers little realm of domestic private life and bring it under the domination of Democrats.
Democrats hate immigrants. Immigrants cant stay illegal because illegality puts immigrants outside the legal monopoly on force. But immigrants cant become legal either. Theyd prosper and vote Republican.
Democrats hate America being a world power because world power gives power to the nation instead of to Democrats.
And Democrats hate the military, of course. Soldiers set a bad example. Here are men and women who possess what, if they chose, could be complete control over power. Yet they treat power with honor and respect. Members of the armed forces fight not to seize power for themselves but to ensure that power can bestow its favors upon all Americans.
This is not an election on November 2. This is a restraining order. Power has been trapped, abused and exploited by Democrats. Go to the ballot box and put an end to this abusive relationship. And lets not hear any nonsense about letting the Democrats off if they promise to get counseling.
P. J. ORourke, a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard, is the author of a new book, Dont Vote: It Just Encourages the Bastards (Atlantic Monthly Press).
“This is not an election on November 2. This is a restraining order. Power has been trapped, abused and exploited by Democrats. Go to the ballot box and put an end to this abusive relationship. And lets not hear any nonsense about letting the Democrats off if they promise to get counseling.”
That’s right its not. But is is the beginning of the process of the eventual extermination of America’s domestic enemies. Show no compassion and show no mercy.
Your are correct. Talk to the immigrants from Eastern Europe and they don’t like the way this country is going. Reminds them of the commies they lived under.
Indeed I am. Obama is an evil man who seeks our destruction.
“But is is the beginning of the process of the eventual extermination of Americas domestic enemies. Show no compassion and show no mercy.”
Yes, you get it!
PJ is shallow at best.
We are fighting for the soul of our civilized country.

Obama gets list of top Muslim Americans

CHICAGO In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nations most qualified Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted has been submitted to the White House.
The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.
It was mostly under the radar, Williams said. We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didnt know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community.

Obama seeks Muslims for White House posts

WASHINGTON Barack Obama is conducting his own affirmative action program to get more Muslims in the White House.
The move began with Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn, who took his oath of office with a hand on the Quran, to solicit the resume of what he considered to be the nations most qualified adherents of Islam.
According to the Denver Post, when White House officials heard about the program, it was put on overdrive.
. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, sifted through more than 300 names as part of the search.
It was mostly under the radar, Williams said. We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didnt know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community.
Ellison is serious about his faith. He made the pilgrimage to Mecca with the sponsorship of the Muslim American Society, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In 1991, Mohamed Akram wrote a memo for the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood that explained its work in America as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Gods religion is made victorious over all other religions.

Obama Pronounces Islam A Great Religion

Obama hosts dinner for Islamic holy month
By ANN SANNER (AP)
September 1, 2009
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nations culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,” Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holidays daily fast.
The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called “a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress.”
Attendees included Congress two Muslim members Reps. Keith Ellison and Andre Carson as well as ambassadors from Islamic nations and Israels ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren
Obama has made a special effort since taking office to repair U.S. relations with the worlds Muslims, including visits to Turkey and Cairo. In a June speech at the Egyptian capital, as well as in one to another important Muslim audience, in Turkey, Obama said: “America is not and never will be at war with Islam.”

I’ll leave you with this, a 1995 interview. Yes, in 1995 Obama spells out most of what he is doing TODAY.
I sincerely encourage you to read it and e-mail it around. It helps people understand Obama’s poerverted mindset.
This goes back to 1995. His “philanthropy” for his “community” effort is tax $$$.
What Makes Obama Run?
Lawyer, teacher, philanthropist, and author Barack Obama doesn’t need another career.
But he’s entering politics to get back to his true passion—community organization.

Thanks .. spread the word and keep the wealth HERE.
Identity politics is a tar pit.
Canard can also mean hoax.
It is a hoax used by politically correct psuedoconservatives who have no inkling of culture war to act as though all immigrants prosper and become conservative and that race and ethnicity are inconsequential.
This is a hammer used to force us to take in the whole needy world because to do otherwise is racist.
That to me is a canard..a sick hoax...which will kill the US as we know it same as it's doing now in Western Europe.
No one ever asked me or my kin if we wanted this total makeover of the American fabric. I don't.
If you and PJ think it's all gonna work out then you are dreaming...Obama got elected only because of this recent wave. In elections past 55% of the white vote would have ensured McPalin of victory...now that brass ring needs an even higher white vote number which may become unattainable.
But...we can get the minority vote if we become Dems and pander even more?
Great...these are just the hard demographic facts now in America due 100% to unrestrained immigration the past 35 or so years.
I wonder is imbecilic PJ aware of this:

Justice Dept. Shrugs About Potential GI Voter Disfranchisement
Thanks to some states illegal lagging, soldiers abroad may lose their vote.
Imagine if five states announced that they lacked the money and manpower to ship ballots to precincts in predominantly black rural counties before the fall federal election. The Justice Department appropriately would shift into fifth gear to assure that those Americans could vote on November 2. Enforcement lawsuits would fly like pigeons fleeing a breezy schoolyard.
Now, convert those rural blacks into American GIs serving abroad. Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington State are dragging their feet on the urgent task of delivering absentee ballots to overseas service members. The response at Justices Voting Rights Division in Washington, D.C., echoes a Louis Armstrong tune: Its sleepy time down South.
Saturday, September 18, marked 45 days before the election. According to the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act), that was the deadline by which states had to have sent unmarked ballots overseas. This period should have allowed ballots to reach GIs, from bases in Germany to trenches in Afghanistan, in time for them to be returned by election night.
However, these five states have received waivers from the MOVE Act, essentially giving them extensions on their homework. Primary elections on Tuesday, September 14, gave four of those states (Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island), along with Wisconsin, only four days to determine party nominees, print ballots, and send them off. Rather than employ this cramming-for-finals approach, election officials in these states should have scheduled primaries early enough to avoid this headache. Meanwhile, Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands also previously indicated an inability to adhere to last Saturdays deadline.
Even worse, some of the waivers went to states that never demonstrated that they were unable to obey the law. This is the only standard for approving waivers.
As Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) reminded Justice in a July 28 letter:
There are only three types of undue hardship that are an adequate excuse for a state to seek a waiver: (i) The States primary election date prohibits the State from complying; (ii) The State has suffered a delay in generating ballots due to a legal contest; or (iii) The State Constitution prohibits the State from complying. If none of these situations exists, then the state may not apply for a waiver, and the federal government may not grant one.
...
Missed deadlines and other administrative snafus reportedly disfranchised some 17,000 military voters in 2008. These ballots might have tipped close elections, such as Minnesotas skin-tight contest that eventually made Democrat comedian Al Franken a U.S. senator.
Americas uniformed men and women dodge and sometimes absorb bullets so that the rest of us can debate peacefully about taxes and mosques. They should expect to have a voice in choosing the leaders who might deploy them into combat or suddenly call them home.
President Obamas Justice Department should wake up, sue negligent states, and ensure that every military vote counts on election night.
Those votes ONLY matter when they are for Demoncrats.
Other than that, other votes should NOT be counted.
Response: Agreed.

Look, if you want to get exercised about the immigration disaster, that’s fine with me, I don’t disagree with you.
But when you belittle my claim that Republican voters come from immigrant stock, and then imply that I somehow agree with P.J. O’Rourke that all immigration is good, you make no sense.
If you’re angry about the current state of affairs in our country, join the club, we have many members.
Yes. What an excellent line!!!
Short, sweet, and brilliantly insightful.
“”The right wing, the Christian right, has done a good job of building these organizations of accountability, much better than the left or progressive forces have. But it’s always easier to organize around intolerance, narrow-mindedness, and false nostalgia. And they also have hijacked the higher moral ground with this language of family values and moral responsibility.”
His quote from the article regarding the right...the post partisan president....not.
New tagline!!
Lol, I just did the same, although I didn’t give him credit for it. Fixed now.
LOL! I'm in!!! :o)
