An Argument for Going Slowly on Instituting New Legislation

Each new bill before Congress haqs the potential for expanding the bureaucracy to implement the bill and, Das Buros steht immer, that is, once a bureau or agency or arm of the “feddle gummint” is filled with bureaucraps, the shit just never seems to get hauled out (bureaucracies tend only to expand, not contract–or even disappear when the ostensible reason for their creation disappears).

That alone, it seems to me, is reason enough to proceed very, very slowly when about to create a whole new bureaucrappy, like that which would accompany “feddle gummint” illegal (unconstitutional) meddling in health care delivery.

Oh, and then there’s the whole enumerated powers thing that congresscritters seem to have (deliberately) swept under the rug. “Look over there. Don’t mind that Constitution thing we’ve hidden behind a curtain of bullshit.”

Epiphany

Concerns about Obama’s disingenuity on the issue of illegal alien coverage under his proposals for nationalizing health care are misplaced. Sure, he does probably intend to offer amnesty (by some less loaded term in order to deny that it is in fact amnesty, just like Bush II tried to do) so illegals would be covered under his grab of 15% of the economy, but that’s not the disturbing thing.

No, as he’s made clear, by appointing crooks and liars and thieves (Oh, my!) to cabinet and other positions of power, and by not just his constant lies but the way he lies and uses the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind as his own unreconstructed Pravda, he fully intends to make the US just like Mexico in at least one very important regard: he is remaking the US government over at warp speed into the same kind of kleptocratic kakistocracy that is Mexico’s criminal organization operating under the legal fiction of being a “legitimate government”.

A Salute for Our Corrupter-in-Chief

Notice: Curmudgeonly Saturday Patriotic Post Alert.

In honor of the minimum 158 confirmed outright, blatant, bald-faced lies about his positions, policies and actions (heck, I only caught Bush II in two outright, blatant, bald-faced lies, so this guy seems to be going for the world record), and his overall denigration of the office of the presidency, I hereby offer an appropriate a salute to The 0!

finger

What else is appropriate for someone the following comment seems prophetically tailored for?

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies”–John 8:44

Salman Rushdie could get a “The Satanic Verses 2” book out of Obama’s mouth…

We now return to the other voices in my head…

Political Insight of the Ages?

*heh* Sure, Left and Right didn’t appear on the scene as descriptions of political positions until 18th Century France and its Revolt of the Masses. 😉 But still, it’s nice to know that beside his storied wisdom was Solomon’s ability to prophesy politics:

“A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.” –Ecclesiastes 10:2

*heh*

Better than the broken-down “Left-Right” paradigm, though, is something like The Pournelle Political Axes which more accurately describes political models:

axes

If examined according to the Pournelle Political Axes, The 0!’s policies so far are difficult to categorize. Are they to be found in the far upper right corner of the axes or the far lower right corner? There doesn’t seem to be any moderation toward the center whatsoever, and all of his actions to date lean toward “State Worship” but rationality or irrationality? Which dominates? Or does he vacillate between rational and irrational behaviors?

The 0! Flunks His Second 100 Days

CNN Report Card (CNN!?!)

The-0-flunks-01

Yeh, I know the “average” says C-, but look at the F/D mark. And this is The Obamassiah, folks! The One. The “walks-on-water” libtard socialist/commie answer to all that ails us. His numbers–from a sold-out-to-The-0!-CNN report can garner him no better than a C- (with even worse scores in general than on the economy). That’s flunking out for Mr. Butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-his-mouth Barry Soetoro.

The-0-flunks-02


I have a sneaking feeling there are more reasons than simply his desire to cover up his citizenship status behind hiding his transcripts/records at Occidental and Columbia and Harvard. If he fades this quickly when faced with anything like work (WORK?!?!?–Maynard G. Krebs [Bob Denver]) today, I can just imagine his grades in those institutions. Probably make Jean Fraud Kerry (whose grades in college were even poorer than Bush II’s and whose performance in elective office is even a better track record than The 0!’s) look like a genius.

Life in the Obamanation

[Stolen]


Living with The 0! and his minions in congress, etc.

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, “Sir, what will you have?”

The man thought a moment then replied, “A martini please.”

The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had.

The robot then asked, “Sir, what is your IQ?”

The man answered “oh, about 164.”

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity,
inter-stellar space travel, the latest medical break throughs, etc.

The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tack.

He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have.

“A Martini please.”

Again it was superb. The robot again asked “what is your IQ sir?”

This time the man answered, “Oh about 100”.

So the robot started discussing Nascar racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this weekend.

The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool…. Again a martini, and the question, “What is your IQ?”?

This time the man drawled out “Uh….. bout 50”.

The robot clicked then leaned very close and very slowly asked,
“A-r-e y-o-u p-e-o-p-l-e s-t-i-l-l h-a-p-p-y w-i-t-h O-B-A-M-A?


(Just a thought, but maybe the guy was onto something when he mentioned his IQ. Three martinis ought not to have reduced it that far, but he could have been lying the first time… )

Illiterate Boob Among Those Who Want to Stifle Free Speech

Well, actually Nazi Pelosi and her chief minion and all their ilk are all less than articulate in their sputtering tirades against the American People exercising their rights “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” But Steny Hoyer takes the cake with,

I do believe that there is expressions throughout the country being made that are unusually harsh.”

Parse that again. “[T]here is expressions”? Why, the guy’s so rattled by the 09-12-09 peaceful assembly “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” that he can’t even utter a verb in the correct form. Idiot. Maroon. Ignoranimous. The Honorable Baboon Hoyer needs a reality check. I can think of almost NO expression harsh enough for someone like him and Nazi Pelosi and their ilk who never met a First Amendment right they didn’t hate when exercised by anyone who happens to disagree with them.

To Pelosi, Hoyer and all their partners-in-crime: STFU and listen. Instead of being slaves to your own bigoted ambition, LISTEN:

For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear. For a servant when he reigneth, and a fool when he is filled with meat; for an odious woman when she is married, and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. — Proverbs 30:21-23.

Or, as Rudyard Kipling put it when addressing the first of those banes,

Three things make earth unquiet
And four she cannot brook
The godly Agur counted them
And put them in a book —
Those Four Tremendous Curses
With which mankind is cursed;
But a Servant when He Reigneth
Old Agur entered first.
An Handmaid that is Mistress
We need not call upon.
A Fool when he is full of Meat
Will fall asleep anon.
An Odious Woman Married
May bear a babe and mend;
But a Servant when He Reigneth
Is Confusion to the end.

His feet are swift to tumult,
His hands are slow to toil,
His ears are deaf to reason,
His lips are loud in broil.
He knows no use for power
Except to show his might.
He gives no heed to judgment
Unless it prove him right.

Because he served a master
Before his Kingship came,
And hid in all disaster
Behind his master’s name,
So, when his Folly opens
The unnecessary hells,
A Servant when He Reigneth
Throws the blame on some one else.

His vows are lightly spoken,
His faith is hard to bind,
His trust is easy boken,
He fears his fellow-kind.
The nearest mob will move him
To break the pledge he gave —
Oh, a Servant when he Reigneth
Is more than ever slave!

Rudyard Kipling

So, to all congresscritters, The 0! and those who sit on benches and pontficate their farts into law, STFU and BE servants, not little potentates.

ACORN-Funded Prostitution Zones–Tag One Near You!

*heh* I’d like to have a stencil for this in my hands, some days… no, really.

acorn-funded-prostitution-zone-1

And on the wall of Obama “Hope” poster artist Shepard Fairey’s studio:

acorn-funded-prostitution-zone-02

Now, I wonder when The 0!’s White Cafe-au-lait House is gonna be tagged? 😉

(Although, rightly, anyone taggin g The 0!’s White Cafe-au-lait House should change the stencil to read, “Pimping for ACORN since 1995”)

Dealing With Terrorists

Thinking on the current administration’s apparent views on terrorism and terrorists, I’m reminded of a contrary POV “Ding Chavez”–a character in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six–articulated about getting inside a terrorist’s mind,

“…the best thing about the inside of a terrorist’s mind was a 185-grain 10mm hollow-point bullet entering at high speed.”

Or, as a bumper sticker I saw not recently said, “Marine Sniper: You Can Run, You Just Die Tired.”

THAT’S how one properly deals with terrorists. Patting them on the head and saying, “Oh, you bad boy, you! We’ll just have to find some way of cominucating with you, dear,” isn’t the way to deal with terrorists.
