The Radical Hobson Twins

It’s been apparent for some time now that the only thing the Democrats and their mouthpiece media care about is getting Democrats elected. It became nauseatingly apparent during the Bush administration when they celebrated every fallen American soldier in Iraq with moments of silent laughter at the end of daily newscasts. Clearly, they wanted to show the war lost to make Bush (and Republicans) look bad. The economy too was reported to be worse than it was. Revisions upward never received due attention.

The strategy is now being continued. Clearly, every Republican idea for saving the economy, social security and Medicare is demonized by the Left - this, while these same people refuse to propose any remedies of their own. What seems obvious to most of us is that if nothing is done, these programs will default. By opposing every fix, Democrats are inviting bankruptcy on a national scale. Their answer is always ‘tax the rich’ which continues to have a certain popular appeal – never mind that, by raising taxes ever higher, talent and capital will flee off-shore, accelerating our march to fiscal Armageddon – never mind that our nation is already broke, and being kept afloat by smoke on mirrors and by every infinity we can find to define.

The thinking among Democrats continues to be that the end-all is simply to keep getting elected as to afford them a chance to continue feasting at the public troth. Most are unable to see beyond their elections. They don’t understand that, once in office, their job should just be beginning: to represent the people(’s will) and protect our nation.

Republicans - perennial losers - stand green with envy and awe of what the Dems are consistently able to do in their own behalf. Like hungry beggars, they slaver over the crumbs that the Dems leave out for the ones most likely to whore themselves out to traitorous causes.

Senators and Congressmen who get up and grandstand about cutting foreign aid and assistance to the poor are doing so simply to divert attention from their own excesses. The gravy train keeps rolling – certainly not for the genuine poor (who will always be exactly where they are, and who will always be poor; but) – to feather their own political nests.

Don’t look to fancy constructs of conspiracy. Don’t look to various ‘isms’ to explain it. Simply put, we are eating our own. NY-26 has introduced yet another arrow into the Democrat Party quiver. Democrats have discovered that the tea party now is their best friend. By injecting some fake, phony ‘tea party’ member into any election mix, their reservation at the beggar’s banquet is virtually guaranteed.

Reminds of all those so-called ‘democracy’ movements in the Middle East that are being hijacked by the MB. It looks like we’re down to choosing between identical Hobson twins.

Between radical ideology and radical greed, which one would you choose? For my money, I’d be content just to stay home and read about it in the paper the next morning.

It's Not ॐ (Om)

I heard the quote first thing this morning, POTUS saying something to the effect that if we don't pass health care, the U.S. (economy) will go bankrupt. Only half of this statement is true. And, passing health care will only accelerate the process.

It also points to the fact that the Dems have now totally given up on trying to be creative. They've resorted to the using Republican mantras, asking, “It works for them; why can’t it work for us? The constant threat of bankrupting ourselves seems to be something the voters are responding to. Let's exploit it with equal passion. Let's get the media to repeat it endlessly: bankruptcy; devastation; joblessness; sickness and death; that is, if we don't get what we want. Scare the bjesus out of them just the way Republicans are doing it, getting a herd to turn by the crack of the whip; clearing the premises with shouts of Fire!; predicting no less than the end of the species if the hall lights should inadvertently be left on at night.”

When I was a kid, the likelihood of a formal spanking sufficed to curb my errant appetites. Tell me again that the Left isn’t overreaching by promising Armageddon. All the noise from both sides is now merging onto one dystopian chord - and it’s not ॐ (Om). Pass the Quietus please.
