Tony Blankley sticks his finger in the wind and comes away more sanguine than I am:
A year ago, it seemed possible that a majority of Americans – rattled by economic collapse and under the sway of a popular, charismatic president – might buy in to plans to fundamentally transform America away from liberty, prosperity and greatness and toward security and a massive, protective state. At first, many of us were hesitant to speak out when we thought we might be but a few. (Of course, some of us saw what was coming and spoke out before the 2008 election. See my columns from the spring, summer and fall of ’08.)
But as the first details of the transformation were revealed to the nation – in Obamacare, the stimulus, bailouts, nationalizations and running roughshod over the Constitution – it became clear that the price for security turned out to be our birthright of liberty. Americans were not that rattled.
Now that we who cling to our liberty know we are a majority – and potentially a very large majority – we are aroused to the defense of our ancient rights – and we will not slacken in our efforts until that repulsive plan for transformation has been expurgated from the body politic – to quote Franklin D. Roosevelt – “so help us God.”
I’m tempted to say that Mr Blankley’s been huffing too much Tea Party; but for today, I’ll just pretend he’s right, and take heart.
He says “until that repulsive plan for transformation has been expurgated from the body politic” and then quotes FDR.
What a maroon. What an ignoranimus.
Mr. Blankley is right. The left is currently being undone, as always, by their own rapacious appetites.
They have run out of other people’s money.
Geez. Can I be first just once, dicentra?
I did like the Bugs Bunny “What a Maroon” reference though. That phrase encapsulates my feeling about the left, a mix of derision, and pity, mixed with some scorn, perfectly.
ah, but Pelosi is busy trying to bribe more voters with Sweet Sweet Free Money.
And these are the teachers who will stuff their students’ bookbags with fliers demanding they vote Democrat in November to “save education”.
The really cool thing is that we get to debate with these thieves and liars. By their methods, whenever they can arrange it.
As for the right, never engage someone who questions the left’s ability, such as “don’t they understand?” What’s going on on the left isn’t a matter of comprehension, it’s a matter of motive.
If it were the former they’d have abandoned the conversation by now.
The problem with the national-level politicians in the Republican Party – or at least the biggest problem – is that they are politicians.
They like power as much as the next guy and are unlikely to do anything that will compel them to give that power away. Ideology? Who cares. Principles? Never heard of ‘em.
When it comes to power, all the rest goes right out the door.
Just ask Newt.
Sure, he got rid of the House Barber Shop. But did he get rid of
anything else? Anything at all?
The Republicans will feel the same way if/when they regain a Congressional majority and/or the White House. Then, they will have the power.
And they will dig it too.
Governmental power moves in only one direction.
No party ever gives up power. Ever. And the Republicans are
no exception. Their conceit will be that they can use it more efficiently and for a better cause.
The whole point of government in the administrative state is to
accumulate power for government. The massive incursions that the Obama administration
has made into the various components of the private sector are NOT about improving these sectors for the benefit of all Americans, but about controlling them
for the benefit of the ruling class, power brokers.
Controlling you, your behavior, your “lifestyle,” and your consumption
of commodities such as health services.
I think Blankley is correct, but there has to be a proper alternative to go to. Just more of the same get along, GOP cronyism is not going to cut.
Quoting FDR to support restraining government is probably not a good idea.
“Talk conservative, vote liberal” is a trusty old election ploy, and its cheat never grows stale.
Errr…that was me…
Blankley may well see his quote of FDR invoking God as an irony turned on FDR, if he sees his own invocation of God as true, where FDR’s is false.
I did like the Bugs Bunny “What a Maroon” reference though.
I used to have that .WAV file as my system error sound. Loved it.
As for the right, never engage someone who questions the left’s ability, such as “don’t they understand?”
I had a conversation yesterday (non-political topic) with someone who wondered how on earth these intellectuals couldn’t get that theory X has been thoroughly and scientifically debunked. I had to clarify that they believe theory X because they’re intellectuals.
No truth, no falsehood, just competing narratives.
– There are some who think the Reps taking the Congress will only help Bumbblefuck in 2912, reason being they’re convined that between GOP laxness and Dem obstructionism, all they’ll do is make themselves just as unpopular as they were before the Dems won.
– I don’t know. Historically they’d be right. All we can hope for is the Reps see the handwriting on the wall and act accordingly.
– I think I’d give them 1 in 3 they’ll step up. The horrors of 6 more years of this crap is more than I care to contemplate.
*2012*
Blankley may well see his quote of FDR invoking God as an irony turned on FDR, if he sees his own invocation of God as true, where FDR’s is false.
Perhaps I should know the full context of FDR’s quote to know whether there was irony involved or not.
The de Toqueville quote is better, anyway: “Evils which are patiently endured when they seem inevitable become intolerable when once the idea of escape from them is suggested.”
In part, you can thank Glenn Beck for that. One of his first “campaigns” was “We Surround Them,” during which he suggested the 9/12 groups, and people in blue and purple states suddenly realized that they weren’t alone, and were in fact in the majority.
The spontaneous Tea Parties spawned by Santelli’s remark also helped people see how many of us there really are, and the subsequent polls showing that self-identified conservatives outnumbered self-identified liberals by 2:1 doesn’t hurt, either.
it’s important that Team R wins a mandate to do something more than just say no to spendings but they seem to have no ambition in this regard – if they were to use 2010 to shop a set of explicitly pro-growth policies with respect to trade and regulation and taxes and energy then the nominee in 2012 would be way better positioned I think
The true conflict in our society isn’t left vs right, or conservative vs progressive.
It’s between anarchy vs totalitariaism.
Bigger gov’t is simply creeping, or leaping, totalitarianism.
Some of the laws restricting our liberties are deemed good or sensible, such as motorcycle helmet laws or no smoking in public places, but make no mistake, they advance the bar towards gov’t control and away from personal liberties.
Our founders, who fled a Europe run by totalitarian monarchs and religious structures, tried to create the most anarchistic state they possibly could.
The Articles of Confederation were their first attempt at “glue” or connective tissue that would unite the new states into a country, but weren’t sufficient to accomplish that goal.
As a result, they developed the Consitituion and other Federal documents that eventually did describe a new form of representative democracy built specifically to restrain the power of gov’t in its inevitable push towards totalitarianism and ensure that personal liberties were preminent.
From the establshment of income taxes, to The New Deal, to The Great Society, the bar has been moved further and further away from anarchy and towards totalitarianism. The ObamaCare program is simply the latest push in that direction.
The Dodd-Frank Bill, Cap & Trade, the Fairness Doctrine, Card Check are all simply efforts to reduce personal liberities and enforce a totalitarianism by the “ruling class’ that populate our gov’t.
Sadly, the GOP is not any better in pushing the bar back towards anarchy and personal freedoms.
That’s why the Tea Parties have gotten so much traction among freedom loving Americans that realize that the enemy isn’t the other political party, it’s the government “ruling class” that gains and holds power thru increasing taxation, regulation and growth of their supporting bureauacracies.
I wonder what theory X was. Was it something that conservative intellectuals believe?
I have written before on Hannah Arendt’s first chapter analysis of the insane antisemitism driving the totalitarian holocaust in Nazi Germany. The title of that chapter is Antisemitism as an Outrage to Common Sense. Arendt looks to De Tocqueville’s account of the fury unleashed on the French aristocracy to explain the similar fury unleashed on the Jews. She writes:
It is possible grave danger lies ahead. I believe Beck has noted this possibility. He is right to. He should do so often.
Hannah Arendt? De Tocqueville?
Intellectuals. No thank you. They’re suspect.
“. . . who fled a Europe run by totalitarian monarchs and religious structures. . .”
This would make nonsense of actual totalitarianism. It doesn’t fit and seems to me an unnecessary hyperbole.
And Beck recommends Hayek. So he’s suspect, too.
Totalitarianism has many shades and many levels.
Whether it be a king, a pasha or the tyranny of a state enforced religion, it serves the same purpose: to usurp the personal liberties and take control of how one lives, what faith they pursue, what they consume or any other aspect of their lives.
Religious freedom drove the Pilgrims to these shores. Political & economic freedoms drove the American Revolution.
Pot-a-to, Pot-o-to.
Stanley Kurtz’s new book, Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism, can’t come too soon. He writes cogently here on countering an anonymous attacker.
No pvrc. The men of the Constitutional Convention had the words to describe the systems they abhorred and totalitarianism was not one of those words, for very good reason. It did not exist.
sdferr-
We are arguing a sematic.
I’m positing that monarchy or an enforced state-sponsored religion are forms of totalitarianism. Again, shades of grey.
Have to run to a meeting, but will return later to continue the exchange, if you wish.
Regardless, the pure definition of “totalitarianism” isn’t actually the overall point.
The point is that our society is moving ever further in a direction that strips us of our personal liberties “for our own good”.
And this bar moves further in that direction regardless which party is in power.
That’s the problem.
“…are forms of totalitarianism.”
No, they are not. Semantics? What sign we use to name different things, you mean?
Which is why I say to use the term this way makes a nonsense of actual instances of the phenomenon. This is not a matter of shades of grey, but one of calling a tomato a potato.
That is certainly a possibility. I’m sure there are numerous others. But no matter what, change is coming. We’re in an unsustainable place and something is going to give.
“…change is coming…”
To state as sort of triviality, change is always coming. Let me quote Leo Strauss to this effect:
Would you say the Founders were more likely to have identified tyranny, sdferr?
Rhetorical, for pvrc’s benefit.
The spoke of tyranny and despotism right off the top of my head. They may have had other terms. Edmund Burke argued their case in Parliament, strongly. Would a Burke have been permitted to speak in that manner in the Politburo?
they
The composition of the Parliament he wouldn’t have been speaking before would have been extremely uniform as well. Like a… Politburo.
Tell me about it.
Leon found out what it meant to dissent.
Heh, beat you by a hair.
fucking speedy sockpuppets. heh
So did Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans and the rest of the White Rose.
There is much good matter in this number: 37.
A piece of it:
Intellectuals. No thank you. They’re suspect.
Isn’t it a shame that “Intellectual” has come to mean either “ideologically straight-jacketed psuedo-intellectual posuer” or “member in good standing of the righteous thinking better class”, depending on your p.o.v.? We need a word for the smarty-pants type that doesn’t mean, well, smarty-pants.
I was being facetious, Ernst.
I just attach a qualifier like “progressive” or “pseudo” for the bad ones. Simple enough.
To explain: it’s a pet peeve of mine when people use academic or intellectual as a pejorative because I’m actually quite grateful for conservative academics and intellectuals.
I thought you were bh, but that doesn’t change my point. It’s not like this is a new phenomenon, Jacques Barzun identified the problem back in the 50s, when intellectuals and “intellectuals” both reigned supreme.
That academic and intellectual both have become more perjorative than complimentary I think testifies to the bankruptcy of the Academy and the shallowness of what passes for deep thought.
That being said, Jack Handy is a Man for All Seasons.
“We need a word for the smarty-pants type that doesn’t mean, well, smarty-pants.”
Ernst, in all seriousness, what word that we don’t already have? Is our language so debased we cannot call a spade a spade?
I see your point, Ernst. I just reject the strong form of the argument that doesn’t allow for babies in the bathwater. Which I don’t think you’re making. But some do.
I was going to be an academic, but the politics of the whole thing were annoying and insular, and the lie that you can “do what you want” was orthogonal to the reality of “doing what you can get funded.” The fact that I really didn’t have the publishing record of a “winner” was just icing on the cake at that point.
It is telling.
Insults
1) Acedemic
2) Intellectual
3) Tree Hugger
4) Liberal
5) Socialist
6) Journolist
7) Communist
Compliment
1) Conservative
You got further than I did cranky-d, since I let the bastards wear me down.
I made it to the end of grad school, Ernst, and that was enough academia for me.
As with Obama blaming Bush, we can blame Plato for academia. the bastard.
Further than I made it. And just to be clear, I was the biggest bastard wearing me down, since I didn’t have the chops for it and tried to stick it out anyway.
Plato? He was a jerk, always asking questions and stuff.
In my opinion, a lot of surviving academia is having the gumption to stick it out for the years it takes. One thing that helped is I liked being a grad student. Other than the poverty, it was pretty good.
Have some pity for Plato. The poor man was an imperfect reflection of a perfect intellect.
Yeah, besides, he cut a ridiculous figure with his face flat like a pancake.
And good God! When He and Xenophon were in their cups! God help a fair haired boy. And if Alcibiades was there… [shudder].
Echechrates told stories of the frightful nightmares he suffered through the dinning schtupping noises. Aristotles took notes.
Then Echechtrates broke the first rule of Symposeum
Sure, but we see who got charged with defiling the Hermai and profaning the mysteries, don’t we? Clever sucker, that Echechrates.
I wonder what theory X was. Was it something that conservative intellectuals believe?
It’s in the field of psychology, and many (not all) psychologists call it bunk, but the academics in the universities have no problem pushing it to suite a particular narrative.
Law & Order did an episode in which Theory X was considered to be crap. My lefty friend thinks it’s crap.
And Beck recommends Hayek. So he’s suspect, too.
Beck has an honorary doctorate in the humanities. Run for the hills.
sdferr:
Perhaps you should have added that “totalitarian” was coined by Mussolini to describe a Benevolent State that took care of everyone in every way. “Everything in the state, nothing outside the state.”
It was meant to be A Good Thing: total government. It was during the Soviet years that it came to be synonymous with old-fashioned tyranny.
– Well look around you. What we’re seeing is at least a soft form of tyranny, none the less dangerous, soft or not.
I like Beck, understand, but he has a long way to go to grasp the development of political philosophy in the west, I think. I don’t doubt he’ll get there sooner or later though, since he’s one of the very few I’ve seen, whether in his business or in the public eye elsewheres, who wants to know more than he wants to preserve his static dignity (ignorance). Hanging out with Robert George is a damned good start. Maybe Harvey will choose to help?
Speaking of FDR, he knew capitalism had it’s flaws when he saw the “political rights” guaranteed by the constitution and the Bill of Rights had “proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.” Roosevelt’s remedy was to declare an “economic bill of rights” which would guarantee:
* Employment, with a living wage,
* Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies,
* Housing,
* Medical care,
* Education, and,
* Social security
Here‘s a fun essay for you, FDR.
How does that guarantee of employment with a living wage work?
Nevermind. These fucking sockpuppeting trolls are inane beyond words.
By the way, Willie, it’s generally considered bad form to just plagiarize Wikipedia without attribution.*
you write “economic bill of rights” then enumerate, not rights, but restrictions of the liberty of others.
“Employment, with a living wage” provided against their will by whom? and “living wage” defined by whom?
“Housing” provided by whom?
and don’t say “Government”. Government doesn’t create wealth, it seizes and redistributes it.
An “economic bill of rights” …one that understands both economy and rights, would be very short
“an individual is free to engage voluntarily with any other individual, in all matters related to business and labor, subject only to those limited laws in support of such voluntary engagement and/or negotiations.”
IOW — the right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose.
How can anybody but a complete idiot write that?
Plagiarism is par for the course in William Yelverton’s world. It is what he does.
What’s amazing about it, JD, is that he’s too stupid to realize it’s one of the few ways he can lose his job.
Oh, bh. The levels of crapweasely asshattery that William Yelverton aka plagiarist can produce should never amaze you.
What always frosts me is the description of Yelverton’s list as positive rights.
As opposed to the dead old “negative” rights — you know, the ones mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

omg how long have the jews been hiding the tasty tasty jew cereal? Probably since the war I bet.
it’s the tastiest stuff ever and there’s more kinds to try still one with “Nouget Cream” and I can’t remember the other one it’s very exciting

And Slivovitz plum brandy. L’Chaim!
I will go back again and again it’s just in the adjacent zone I just never went before for some reason

oh snap.. i totally forgot about that
dude who wrote “chicken soup for the soul”
cuz u need academics..on your ship of fools..
he’s the smart one dressed in pink
I gots a funny story for you. Good friend of mine in Chicago is Jewish from his mom and Italian from his dad. So, once in awhile we’d go here to get a killer sandwich and one time we ran into his dad. Who was eating the gross, sitting-out-for-hours-under-the-lamps spaghetti.
So my buddy starts calling his dad a retarded guido, joking around with him and all of a sudden his dad looks at him all serious and says, “It’s the best goddamn thing here!” Then he leaves.
Maybe you had to be there.
that’s a cute story for reals here is another story offered without comment
So, all of a sudden, Bristol says, “He was the best goddamn thing here.” Then she leaves.
Maybe you had to be there.
you make me laugh you and buttons do which is sorta uncomfortable when you’re fulled up wif tasty cereal
Can you imagine if willie the plagiarizing hilljack’s girlfriend’s excuse was the he/she/midget was the best damn thing around?
Maybe she’s a midgette.
He does make an awesome paella.
Awesome is a term I have never heard used to describe vegetarian paella. Especially veggie paella cooked my a midget hilljack.
What would be the point of vegetarian paella?
Willie seems to think that saffron rice is the focus of paella. He is an imbecile of epic proportions.
i prefer midgets will flat heads/ cuz u can rest
ur drink on them without a coaster..
and if they get all a twitchy like..
u can kill them! and order another one on
the internets..

tho they’re usually thirsty when they come
“fresh outta the box”
so i’d recomennding having a cup of water around! cuz i just know in ur hearts
that u wouldn’t deny a “fresh outta the box” flat headed parched midget a drink
would u?
would u?
Guys, guys, the point of paella is to take a picture of yourself presenting it to a group of people who pretend to like you.
The pan was bigger than the midget willie, which does not really mean much.
if a flat headed parched midget stands on his/her
head for more than ten minutes..
the nuclear countdown clock clicks back..
just a hair tho…
I wonder if he serenades his paella?
Note the expressions.*
buttons broke Google.
Can saffron rice hear a serenade? We know Teh Kittehz lurz some serenading.
ZOMFG, bh. His forehead should have its own zip code.
They’re either in awe of his mighty paella or they’re laughing at him, bh.

i prefer midgets will flat heads/ cuz u can rest
ur drink on them without a coaster..
and if they get all a twitchy like..

I am a bad bad bad person for laughing hysterically at that.
Bingo!

a “fresh outa the box” flat head crippled midget on every
porch/ or lawn..
Buttons is on a roll lately.
If you bing “awesome paella”, that photo of Willie presenting his creation to David Cross and two vaguely-approving and/or stoned douchebags is the very first result.
I’d like to think we had something to do with that.

dish of paella/
all prison-like
and be paranoid and think that
that parched/ fresh outta the box flat headed
prison midget is eyeing ur food..
but ur wrong..

every good american needs..
no/ deserves..
a “fresh outta the box” flat head cripple midget!
pdbuttons is a treasure.
john bradley – That is hysterical.
Good times.
i’ve worked with parched out
fresh outta the box prison flat headed cripple
midgets on an outreach program..
cuz my specialty/ hell/ my “work”
my thesis is titled
“fresh outta the box parched crippled flat headed midgets..
and how can we groom them into society?”
i got tenure!
The first two results that pop up when you Bing “racist hilljack midget” are good for a laugh.
Who would think to bing or google that?
my newest project/ is a plan to mail every black folk
who has slave blood
a passed out parched crippled farm flat headed
prison stumbling midget. in a nice box.. to them
cuz i heard black folks like nice boxes
and i’m not a rascict!
what/ oh lordy lordy

buttons is so wrong, on so many levels.
Don’t worry, Bjork will deal with him.

We’re all in this pre-industrial hut-type village and suddenly we see the crooked shadow, circling, blocking out the stars.
And we just have the one busted up, spoken word grammy as a weapon.
I’d give it to you, buttons. I’d want to google a speech from Rudy or Hoosiers, but, yeah, I’m in a pre-industrial hut-type village.
So, like, you’re on your own. But, good luck. Ur gonna die.
Bh – I would pay for dinner to find out if buttons can do that shit with the spoken word.
I don’t think even buttons can kill Bjork with a spoken word grammy.

“Quoting FDR to support restraining government is probably not a good idea.”
Maybe he had in mind FDR during his first presidential campaign, when he ran on a limited-government platform that blamed the big-government excesses of the Hoover administration for increasing the severity and longevity of the Depression.
