...And this time, as we apply pressure, don't let up for anything:
Remember Election Day, 2008, and the sense of isolation you felt.
Remember John McCain, giving that beautiful concession speech about the racial history of our country, after repeatedly being called a racist by everyone on the Left - including Madonna and Family Guy (I am still really pissed at Family Guy because I used to like that show).
Remember the media, hiding the John Edwards affair, abandoning the country to get their way - and remember Bill Maher on The Daily Show, talking to Jon Stewart about the chances of "our boy", and nobody saying a word about race, or media bias, then.
Remember the "friends" who revealed they, too, would rather get their way than listen to reason - who were willing to silence those who loved them - and who put "making history" before making sense.
Remember the violence, and the vandalism, and the lying, and thuggery.
Remember the unions.
Remember they all were going to rule "over" us for 40 years.
And then apply more pressure.
And, please, don't forget the cultism, political and otherwise, including the NewAgers silently going to work, Arianna Huffington saying to use the ruthless "Lizard Brain", Farrakhan calling him "The Messiah" who had "captured the youth", and Oprah christening him "The One" - the astrological domain and history of The Daily Kos - and how no one bothered to say, "Isn't that strange?"
Don't forget Obama didn't tell them to shut up, and knock it off, like a decent person would have.
Don't forget they were unhappy living in the greatest country on Earth, that's provided them with everything they have (and everything they think they know) because it's a free country that allows them to be idiots and scum if they choose to go there - and, laughing, they did.
Don't forget any of it.
Don't forget one second of the last 10 years.
No, don't forget what they did to President Bush, and said about Vice-President Cheney, in the middle of a war that had taken a turn for the worse - for a while.
Don't forget Scooter Libby and the lies of Valarie Plame.
Don't forget who, and what, a Michael Moore is.
And then keep the pressure coming.
They were to hit us twice as hard and bring a gun to knife fight.
They had to pass it so we could see what's in it.
We had to ride in the back.
We're the cowards when it comes to race.
And this is Mexico.
No one white and male is as smart as a wise Latina.
Sarah Palin is stupid, not even a woman, and responsible for the actions of a NewAge killer.
Clarence Thomas should be lynched.
The Tea Party is racist and violent.
Kenneth Gladney, that nigger got what he deserved.
And the JournoList will throw you through a plate glass window.
NPR.
The BP oil spill.
Michelle's extravagant trips on our dime and the lie that she's fashionable or beautiful.
The bowing.
The apologizing.
The Queen, receiving an iPod of speeches, the Prime Minister, a set of classic Hollywood movies on DVDs he couldn't play, and - oh yeah - England, our most trusted and loyal friend in the history of the modern world, can have their bust of Winston Churchill back, too. (Who needs him?)
The abandonment of Iran's Green Revolution when we knew the courage it took for them to try.
The abandonment of everything that makes us who we are.
And, finally, the spending and the spending and the spending - all of it going to his friends so we'll be stuck with him, and them, and this, for four more years.
Yes, it's time to re-apply the pressure.
And this time, we don't let up.
Hat Tip: Mr. Pinko and iOwnTheWorld
I remember my very last post before Barry Soetoro got elected consisted of just shouting in capitals, WAKE THE FUCK UP.
ReplyDeleteIt listed what was already obvious then- his fake past, his associations with Ayers, Wright, Saudi scum, his bisexuality, the murderous clique of America-haters around him.
Seemed perfectly obvious to me, and yet I could see with sickening certainty that the fix was in.
I pin my hopes now on Palin in 2012, and also hope that the cure is not worse than the disease.
But then since the Obama program has been focused on destroying Western civilisation by taking away its most powerful tentpole - America - the cure can't be worse.
The paranoid spokesman sees the fate of conspiracy in apocalyptic terms — he traffics in the birth and death of whole worlds, whole political orders, whole systems of human values....
ReplyDeleteSince what is at stake is always a conflict between absolute good and absolute evil, what is necessary is not compromise but the will to fight things out to a finish. Since the enemy is thought of as being totally evil and totally unappeasable, he must be totally eliminated — if not from the world, at least from the theatre of operations to which the paranoid directs his attention.
This demand for total triumph leads to the formulation of hopelessly unrealistic goals, and since these goals are not even remotely attainable, failure constantly heightens the paranoid’s sense of frustration. Even partial success leaves him with the same feeling of powerlessness with which he began...
