Circling

John McCain must be defeated. He could be put up against a three-legged stool with pictures of Donald Duck on it and the stool must win. McCain represents everything that’s wrong with the Republican Party. He must not be rewarded! Better to install the most rabid Marxist in his stead. At least you’ll have someone who believes in something.

Just saw John Frankenheimer’s “The Train” (’64) today. In it the Nazis were trying to ship a load of looted art from France into Germany. The French Resistance devised an elaborate ruse to reroute the train, temporarily renaming the railway stations along the way, to make it seem - to the German escorts on board - as if they were headed to Germany when in fact they were just circling around.

This is exactly the ruse employed by the Obama administration. The series of disastrous policies which have been rammed through since he’s been in office are the stations, named in such a way as to make us believe we’re on our way to Utopia. As soon as the train passes, the wraps are removed to reveal our true direction. The film’s narrative tension is heightened when we realize that it’s dictated by the clock. It is nearing the end of the war. The Allies are on their way. Will they be in time to save Paul Labiche (Burt Lancaster) and is precious cargo?

Today we too are circling. We are helplessly captive under the Democrat onslaught. I heard on the news just yesterday that Republicans successfully stopped legislation to extend unemployment benefits. I have news for you: Republicans do not have the votes to stop anything. If it was stopped, it’s Democrats who did it.

Republicans will have to tolerate misfits like JD in office like the Dems tolerate unfunny comedian Al Franken and most of his ignorant Marxist cabal. For those looking out the window, we’re just passing the town of “Financial Regulations Overhaul”. After the train has passed, the wraps will come off and the sign will read: “Obama Power Grab# (take your pick)”.
