…Obama plays golf for the 83rd time during his presidency.
— Which, I guess we can be thankful he’s hasn’t taken up the fiddle. Such obvious imagery wouldn’t play well to the post-ironic, anti-capitalist, big government “anarchists” actively demanding a centralized tyranny of bureaucrats and a permanent political class who promise to control every aspect of their lives. As one of the organizers of Occupy Wall Street told Sean Hannity, she trusts elected politicians to “distribute the wealth” fairly and equitably.
It’s autumn in America. And what’s astounding is, these hipster protesters advocating for their own enslavement to the state don’t even realize that their being allowed to protest at all is a condition of what they are protesting against.
May as well be carrying signs that read “We Demand A Country in Which We Are Finally Silenced!”
[…] As American society begins its slow burn … It’s autumn in America. And what’s astounding is, these hipster protesters advocating for their own enslavement to the state don’t even realize that their being allowed to protest at all is a condition of what they are protesting against. […]
Well placed sir,
KEEP FIRING!!!
I’ve seen written that Harry Reid acted out of anger Thursday night motioning to over-rule the Parliamentarian, which is to say, impetuously. I don’t think it wise to assume as much, however, since, as the suggestion in the quote “. . . could now respond as Democrats threatened to . . . by grinding the Senate to a halt . . .”, when looked at from a slight distance (maybe with squinty-eyes even), appears to undergird Obama’s campaign message (he’s Harry Truman, you know, Obama, despite not being an anti-Communist).
So, it may be that Reid wasn’t all that impetuous, but far more calculating in his expectations of events.
A vote for Romney is a vote for idiocy.
Obama mulligans while America burns.
I think so too.
Harry himself has a problem though geoffb. Or should I say, many problems?
Or to put that in plainer English, I don’t think Reid can continue to bring bills to the floor which help Obama on the one hand, and lose Democrat votes (like Obama’s JobsBill) on the other. The ostensible reason he had to blow-up the rules being, he knew damned well he was going to lose the demonstration amendment/votes the Republican’s were offering. Why on Earth would he offer such votes himself?
I don’t expect that much will move in this till after they come back from Christmas/New Years recess. What I’m thinking of on the Senate Democrats side is a variation on the ploy that they used in 1968 at the convention. They need a howling mob at the door which the OWS is supposed to become in the fullness of time. Reid doesn’t need all the Democrats as he can usually craft things to peel away some Republicans like the Maine sisters.
Not saying that it will work, just that he will try. YMMV.
The Occupiers are not some wild-eyed left wing fringe – they are Obama Democrats:
80% of those polled said that the rich should pay higher taxes and that it’s fair that approximately the top 10% of tax payers pay more than 70% of the taxes in the US and about 40% of employed people pay no income tax.
93% say that student loan debt should be forgiven
98% believe that health care should be free
98% believe that Insurance companies make too much money and some of their profits should be taken to pay for more healthcare for others
95% believe that drug prices should be controlled
88% agree with the statement that “The government should put some controls on CEO pay – like limited to 20x or 30x the lowest paid employee.”
93% believe that communications like cell phone and internet access be a right and not just reserved for the rich and we should have free internet and cell phone service as a national goal.
84% said they think that if a bank decides to implement a $5 debit card fee, the government should not allow it, while 16% said let them do what they want – customers can move.
Occupation Lunacy straight outta the frosh dorm.
that’s so wonderfully said he should get a gold star
The ‘real’ Socialists are giddy at the prospect that a ‘mass socialist movement’ might usher in a new political party, replacing the Democrats, whom they view as ineffectual.
I’m not seeing Democrats as ineffectual. They’ve pretty much raped our little Republic. These, they must have even rougher plans.

[…] In other news, the President played his 83rd round of golf yesterday. I guess it’s better than an impromptu fiddle solo. […]
Baha haaa haa …he fans the flames of class warfare, then goes off golfing.
The DC protesters look even whiter (and older) than the other groups. There is one guy on a Segway. The irony burns.
Was Madison the Model? Looking more and more likely.
I can’t believe that their “Policy Documents and Reports” publication is known as “The [little] Redbook”.

CBS News Sunday Morning, I watch so you don’t have to(you can enjoy a more pleasurable Sunday Morning experience like scratching chalkboards or having someone beat you with a baseball bat).
Anyway, it seems that a representative sample of the Occupiers would be an good-looking actor in a suit and an ex-Marine. The Occupiers don’t know what they want, but if you ask a leftist author it is all perfectly reasonable. Herman Cain is on the side of the Banksters. Barack Obama reluctantly acknowledges that the Occupiers have some valid reasons to be there, damn that Bush and these Republicans. No mention of any proctological protests.
Issa up on Fox News Sunday, after redistricting he’ll most likely be my rep next cycle. What a step up from Ken Calvert, who votes well and pushed E-Verify but is otherwise porky and low profile.
Of course, motionview, my ol’ neighbor, Brother Juan wasn’t invited to comment on the treatment of his hero John Lewis in Atlanta yesterday, was he (I have to ask on account of my habit of skipping Brother Juan’s lie filled diatribes)?
An illegal alien’s gotta DREAM, right? California delenda est, Fruitloopistan libre!
I’m on TiVo delay sdferr Santorum is comparing himself favorably with Rick Perry.
The mass socialisty movement known as #OWS did not get properly smacked down by the NYPD last night, which means we must suffer these fools yet another week. Which also means the Democrats will continue to work quickly to consolidate the movement as a “Baracky 2012” arm of #OFA. Whilst we look on, bemused.
Let me know when to cue the “Road Warrior” ending.
I seriously used to see those hand gesture crowd manipulation tactics from the dorm/house students at Stanford. I would jokingly ask at a lab meeting if we needed to go around the table with their “fists of fury” thing, and the little pinkos and vegans would laugh (I know) and say, no, it is for gaining consensus. Of course it is not a consensus tool, the better “facilitators” can usually get whatever they want. (I know more about this than I’d like due to a story one little vegan told me about how they consensussed every single carnivore in some house to first be exiled to cooking all meat in the microwave in the basement, then eventually no meat cooking in-house all-together). True group manipulation behaviours – endless meetings, endless “consensus” tests, self-criticism sessions, and eventually everyone has at least one wiggling finger.
Personally, I think we ought to treat a visit from socialism more or less as Judge Bean treats a visit from Bad Bob — (not Dirty Bad Bob of New Mexico, but the original Bad Bob, the mean one, the albino).
Socialism isn’t our friend.

So after pushing it off and delaying up until the last possible minute, Governor Moonbeam finally went ahead and signed the Illegal Alien Dream Act. No surprise there.
I wonder how long until the first class action lawsuit is filed against CA by the families of state residents/US citizens who are denied state funding for education.
But he cares about the poor and jobless. But a man needs to recreate!
