ALG’s Bill Wilson gets onboard the obstruction express! […]  Under normal circumstances, a re-elected President can direct the debate.  He has set out an agenda or has done so well in the first term that the country simply wants “more of the same.”  Nobody – and I mean nobody – wants four more years of the same inane, vapid socialism of Obama’s first term.  But, if Obama cannot determine the

CNS: The Congressional Budget Office officially reportedon Wednesday that the federal budget deficit in fiscal 2012 (which ended on Sept. 30) topped a trillion dollars for the fourth straight year even though federal taxes paid by individuals increased by 4 percent during the year and federal income taxes paid by corporation increased by about 34 percent. The increase in corporate federal income tax payments was largely due to changes in

Some of this may seem familiar to many of you. — Though when I say it, it’s usually in the form of “fuck Colin Powell, fuck Karl Rove, fuck Obama, fuck the left’s useful idiots, and fuck the ‘realists’ who wish to shut us up.”   Followed by a bemused “resist we much.”

Obama got 10 million less votes last night than he did in 2008; and yet the only “electable” GOP candidate — I know this, because so many of the pragmatists and pundits told me so, over and over and over again — couldn’t beat him.* Which can mean only one thing:  the GOP can’t win.  Or, for the conspiratorially-minded, didn’t want to win.   So we’re going to need some

Erick Erickson, in what is an otherwise very nice post, writes: Romney made a conscious decision to blow off Hispanic voters. Yes conservatives, we must account for this. The Romney campaign to the hispanic community was atrocious and, frankly, the fastest growing demographic in America isn’t going to vote for a party that sounds like that party hates brown people.

Sdferr heard it and I did, too.  So what the fuck.  As the newly bemused, we note only in passing — and with a knowing smile — that just because you’ve gone Godwin doesn’t mean you’re wrong.  From Obama’s speech, in which he expresses his desire to “perfect” the US (presumably, by disencumbering great and visionary leaders from having to follow the constraints placed upon them by dead white patriarchal
