"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
Before I insert the meat of the post (you may groan now; you certainly will once the pun hits you :-)), a question: has anyone asked about the effect of HHS rulings about Obumascare requirements on Muslim health organizations? Or are they exempt? And who would care anyway?
The Parable of the Kosher Deli, as told by William Lori, the bishop of Bridgeport, CT, in testimony before the House Oversight Committee, February 16, 2012
Through the ages, many great treasures have been lost… and sometimes found. Unfortunately, some, like the libraries of Alexandria (yes, plural–for at least two reasons) were lost multiple times in different ways and stand no chance of rediscovery. Others were even lost within the lifetimes of their creators.
One such is François Villon’s Le romaunt du Pet au deable (The Romance of the Devil’s Fart). When I discovered Villon as a high school student, I read his statement dedicating the work to his mentor, Guillaume de Villon, and attempted to find this great masterpiece. Alas! It was not to be, as the work disappeared almost as soon as it was penned. Still, even today, in my dotage, I yearn in vain for the biting wit, the keen insight of Villon’s Le romaunt du Pet au deable.
Oh, well, at least I have the farts of the Devil’s favorite bastard children in Washington to keep me gassed.
…and likely your local city government as well.

Just search for “too many laws” (don’t use Google unless you want your searches used against you… just sayin’. Use scroogle.org or some other proxied search engine). A moment’s thought pre-search will avert any surprise at what you turn up. *heh*
Anarcho-tyranny*, much?

…bowdlerized, is actually sometimes more accurate. Smitty, at The Other McCain, opines in a recent post,
Jerry Sandusky Is To Joe Paterno As. . .
. . .Eric Holder is to [analogous parallelism: The Zero–ed.]
They told me that if I voted for John McCain, executive accountability would be for the little people. So far, they’ve been proven quite correct, no thanks whatsoever to that craven sack of a Senator from Nevada.
Nice to see someone making a clear, if elliptical, link between “Senator”–especially that one, and by implication, all his ilk–and “shit”.
Nazi Pelosi passes flatus about companies receiving Obumacare waivers:
“They’re all small companies.”
Right, dumbass. Like McDonalds and Walmart.
What a tool. What a dull, dull tool.
A reader at Jerry Pournelle’s Chaos Manor makes an appropriate observation. Concerning baboons,
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive, and least intelligent of all primates.
What is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not, a Congress!
So, our own tribe of baboons in D.C. are known by the appropriate collective noun after all.
…as long as it’s packaged, promoted and sold as snake oil and is actually oil squeezed from real snakes. But the idea that “stimulus” money taken FROM the economy and then passed through the “feddle gummint” money laundering system and passed out to *wink-win-nudge-nudge* “create new jobs” would in any way, shape fashion or form actually BE a stimulus to the economy is a lie that has been openly displayed as such time and time and time again.
For that, those who spout this shit (yes, I mean that what is coming out of their mouths is verbal fecal matter–toxic verbal fecal matter at that) would, in a sane society, be tarred, feathered and set afire to light the way to a brighter tomorrow.
Sadly, the Eighth Amendment outlaws “cruel and unusual punishments” even for the political filth that spread such toxic sewage on the public.
*sigh*
Couldn’t we have another amendment carving out an exception for this filth?
(Go ahead and read. I’ll still be here when you get back… )
Of course, participatory government depends upon a literate and well-informed populace, something Iceland has and the U.S. no longer does.
But were such a thing to take place here–a literate and well-informed electorate to effect a peaceful, constitutional revolution, I’d like to see one thing especially come from it.
I’d like to see a change to the eighth amendment excluding both elected federal officials and “feddle gummint bureaucraps” from protections against “cruel and unusual punishment” so those convicted of abusing their offices/positions could be tarred, feathered and used as “parade torches” on July 4th every year.
Of course, it would take following the amendment process fully, so that such proper and due punishments could be effected legally… 🙂
…is outright, blatant, baldfaced lies.
Rep. Frederica Wilson and her co-conspirators in the Black Caucus hector the TEA Party movement for wanting to reinstitute slavery, making clear that to her, ” …the real enemy is the [sic] Tea Party.”*
And you know, in part she is right. HER real enemies ARE those who desire justice, fiscal responsibility and a respect for the rule of law, in other words, TEA Party folks. Lying about what TEA Party principles are is simply standard operating procedure for this class of scum.
At that same meeting, for example, one of Wilson’s co-conspirators, Jesse Jackson (non “reverend” he), claimed that TEA Party folks are members of the same class of people that once, in his words, comprised a “Fort Sumter Tea Party that sought to maintain states’ rights and slavery.”
That’s right folks. This class of slanderers claims that people whose entire stated aims (and behaviors) have been focused on calling the “feddle gummint” to account for fiscal irresponsibility, a disrespect for the rule of law and for institutionalized injustices just want to return black folk to the plantation as slaves.
And, for some of them in their deluded fantasies, this may be an honest–though psychotic–view. Others, like Wilson, Jackson and Waters, simply and correctly see justice, the rule of law and fiscal responsibility as serious threats to their exercise of power and influence, and so any calls for real justice, genuine fiscal responsibility and serious adherence to the rule of law are enemy action.
