They Say Bloggers Shouldn't Insult Readers But What If Readers Already Insulted Themselves?

Correct answer: It's open season, assholes.

Moving right along. Now this right here is one inspiring quote:

Many people on various parts of the political spectrum are expressing a sense of disappointment with Obama. But I have not felt the least bit disappointed.

Once in office, President Obama has done exactly what his whole history would lead you to expect him to do — such as cutting the military budget and vastly expanding the welfare state.

He has bypassed the Constitution by appointing power-wielding “czars” who don’t have to be confirmed by the Senate as cabinet members must be, and now he has bypassed Congress by taking military actions based on authorization by the United Nations and the Arab League.

Those who expected his election to mark a new “post-racial” era may be the most disappointed. He has appointed people with a track record of promoting race resentment and bias, like Attorney General Eric Holder and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Disappointing? No. Disgusting? Yes. The only disappointment is with voters who voted their hopes and ignored his realities.

Yessirreee, I'm inspired anyway. Deeply moved. But then, I didn't vote for him, so I'm not crazy.

YMMV.

Once Again: It's All Part Of A Whole, People!

"In America of 2009 the following are 'true':

The Arabs invented the printing press, and spurred us on to the Enlightenment and Renaissance. Muslims in Cordoba advised the brutal Christians to show tolerance during the Inquisition. Slavery ended in America without violence. The Berlin Airlift was a worldwide effort. The Americans liberated Auschwitz. There are 57 states. FDR was President in 1929 and gave television addresses. We can either drill offshore or inflate our tires properly.

There are no terrorists or a war on same, but only overseas contingency operations and man-made catastrophes. Those who object to health care are ungodly, and the nation’s children must go to school and see the messiah address them en masse on state-run television screens. Nazis, brown shirts, a mob, insurance lackeys, Brooks brothers elites, etc. all go to Town Halls. Doctors chop off limbs and gleefully take out tonsils for profit. George Bush is our Emmanuel Goldstein whom we must hate collectively each morning for a couple of minutes.

Our environmentally-correct czar believes that we were behind 9/11, that whites pollute poor neighborhoods on purpose, that American agriculture is pathological, that Republicans are 'assholes' and so on. He is the ideological version of the buffoonish Robert Gibbs. What do they teach at Yale (and Harvard) law school? Is admission there synonymous with graduation?

The new Supreme Court Justice thinks that some judges are better than others based on their gender and race.  The Attorney General (we are 'cowards' afraid to talk about race) wants to try agents of the CIA, not hunt down terrorists that plotted to destroy America. No wonder, in a past incarnation he helped to pardon terrorists from Puerto Rico for similarly careerist purposes.

In short, we are now in theory to be governed by enlightened despots and philosopher kings who have never run a business, never understood private enterprise, and never been off the government payroll, but always hypercritical of their opposites. We have suddenly dozens of czars—how better to avoid Senate confirmation? To sidestep existing checks and balances? To substitute administrative fiat for majority- vote ratifications? To enact hope and change without messy Town Hall-like recriminations against elected officials?

Given all this, an unhinged activist like a Van Jones is not the exception, but emblematic of the new frontier. All the old wisdom, the old reverence are going by the wayside, replaced by a brave new world in which we will be the same in spirit and outlook, committed to replace truth with orthodoxy, roughly equal in ability, neither successful nor failures, neither rich nor poor, nothing 'exceptional' at all, mere happy cogs in the brotherly redistributive wheel—mouthing platitudes about diversity and being green, clueless as to their meaning, but clued in to the necessity of chanting such mantras.

And given the President’s rhetoric, and the media as our new ministry of truth— we will be more or less happy idiots,...."

Tongues Are Gonna Be Waggin' Now!!!

"I welcome the idea of a qualified Hispanic woman being appointed to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, Judge Sonia Sotomayor may not be the right choice. The Federal Circuit Court judge is involved with, and apparently committed to, a youth charity run by one Fred Newman--the Marxist psychotherapist and cult leader who used to boast about having sex with his patients and whose philosophy of 'friendosexuality' has been promoted among the charity's kids.

According to Daily News columnist Errol Louis, Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor has worked as a volunteer workshop leader for the past four years with the Development School for Youth (DSY), a branch of the Newman-controlled All Stars Project (the latter is a multifaceted youth charity that works with kids of all ages). Louis quotes the White House as saying that the DSY is Sotomayor's 'favorite project.'”

-- Dennis King, with even more evidence Obama's favorite "wise Latina" ain't so wise about (what else?) cults - but this accusation's especially damning - because it's popped up on the batshit-screwy Lyndon LaRouche Watch.

Well I'll be damned. No - wait - I'm damned already. This is another of those "hidden in plain sight" (AKA "occult") things that so many people are letting slide in their, totally non-racial, rush to appoint any minority to a post she's got no business being in. (I know, I know: Now I hate my Latina heritage as well,....) The Anti-Defamation League called this group "A Cult By Any Other Name," and said Newman, in a 1985 speech, called Jews "storm troopers of decadent capitalism against people of color the world over." But - hey - as far as I know, nobody ever let little things like that stop anything in these parts.

Like I said, I'm damned,...to this life in hell.

But That's Not What I Heard In Yoga Class!!!

"We don't apply feelings to facts."

-- Sonia Sotomayor, actually sounding like a "wise Latina" - and giving NewAgers (like the president) a swift kick in the teeth - while explaining what judges do, in the Althouse.

Our Own Little (Racist) Buddha On The Bench

Expect Great Things

"Judge Sotomayor would be,...one for whom the law is a voyage of personal identity,...She is,...steeped in the legal school of identity politics,...The danger inherent in this judicial view is that the law isn't what the Constitution says but whatever the judge in the 'richness' of her experience comes to believe it should be."
