This is a question, I think you’d mostly all agree, you don’t need to be an “insider” to be asking.
Evil creeps while the contented man sleeps. Which is something Benjamin Franklin never said. But probably thought a couple of times.
And if not Ben Franklin, almost certainly Johnny Cochran.

I thought it was Nipsey Russell’s tribute to Alexander Hamilton.
Barton Calls Obama ‘America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President’
The parallels with Bell’s story Space Traders is . . . . . well, anyway, the president in the story must really think he’s some special business to believe it possible to accrue such costs, and still remain alive to enjoy them.
The headline does the job: IRS May Make Political Groups Pay Dearly for Keeping Donors Secret — And Out Them.
Or any group of citizens trying to engage in political speech without a MBM license.
Heh.
“Elaborate'”.
It’s just plain awful that we still have to do that when talking about Obama.
Wait…hey look! The Bachelor is on TV!!
I want to believe.
I wonder what the armadillo is doing tonight…
He probably isn’t demanding that the government cover the cost of his Trojans.
Better to bully you into silence with, my dear.
Hell, just the faux outrage from a bunch of people who’ll soon enough be off to watch Louis CK talk about Sarah Palin’s cunt and retard baby was enough to scare advertisers away from Limbaugh for the time being.
These are fascists. And this is how fascism gets institutionalized. I mean, there are plenty of examples of this being so. All we need do is look. Of course, making people aware is a difficult proposition, what with the left’s control over the news cycle.
But then, that’s part of the plan.
Geez Jeff. After that…
You need to say something funny.
Something funny that doesn’t make us want to jump off a bridge while shooting at people on our way down.
On a Friday night.
You don’t have to mean it or anything.
You can bring the funny doom thing back Monday. Guarantee it’ll be right where we all left it.
See Glick.
Or the Krauthammer piece yesterday.
or bad luck

Edmund Burke said it well enough, I think.
Or not, as it were. It seems he remembered that he needs to wash his goldfish.
Sometimes, they’ll make it crystal clear for you, all by themselves.
mark levin’s speech at reagan library here at 6 pm pst
http://www.reaganfoundation.org/
OK, sobriety problem resolved. I don’t know if Ulsterman is a talented huckster or the real deal, but what he reports is disturbingly realistic. Just adds to my “We’re fucked” file.
Ulsterman is fucking spooky. I’m suddenly thinking that he’s perhaps a bit like an internet Brad Thor. These people know how to keep you up at night with their “faction.”
That first sentence may or may not be true. The rest of it goes without saying.
OK, first 2 sentences. My bad.
Is this in question? Is this at all controversial among sentient beings? No.
Fuck. Romney? Really?
Well, duh.
Something felt wrong? I was looking at a fifteen alarm fire. I FUCKING VOTED FOR HILLARY, FERCHRISSAKES!!!!
I voted for Palin.
I hope Romney has a good veep choice.
I voted for Palin too. But first I voted for Hillary.
That’s my take as well. If things were really as bad as Ulstermann’s insiders tell him they are, they’d be dead.
And so would he.
Oh, but things are that bad, Ernst. If he had them on actual authority, he’d be dead. Probably. As it turns out, these fuckers are fairly incompetent. And thus, the mystery remains…
Natural causes preferred.
I’m not trying to deny things are bad, I just think Ulstermann gives everything a “political thriller” spin.
I keep expecting a sniper’s bullet to take one of his sources out mid-conversation, or for his dog to turn up dead on his front step.
I thought for a second Ernst you were going all Howard Beale.
I’m more the Freddie Sykes type.
He did end up on the winning side and got revenge on those that shot him.
To stay with the Peckinpah oeuvre. I’d like to think I’m Sgt. Steiner but fear I’m more a Kiesel.
Forgot about Operation Chaos, Pablo.
So, what are we going to do this year?
“The tax-exemption of nonprofit groups amounts to a subsidy of their operations,” Ryan said. “If a group’s going to show up at the IRS with its hand out, I think the federal government is fully within the bounds of not only permissible, but desirable activities to make sure that what amounts to a subsidy is in compliance with the law.
AGAIN with the idea that all money belongs to the Gov and we just get to rent it for awhile.
That would only matter if he won.
People aren’t going to be fooled a second time in a row if Romney tries to play the running-mate card like McCain did. I sure as hell won’t vote for any ticket he’s on, top or bottom. He could put God Himself on the ticket and I’ll still skip that line on the ballot, or write in someone else.
From the looks of things, Santorum then SMOD, Red.
Rel;ated.
Obama knows and shows who his real enemies are. Now if they would just awaken to his message.
The discussion of evil has me cogitating. It used to be that I’d say, “The left thinks the right is evil; the right thinks the left is just wrong.” Lately, I’ve come to realize that more is at stake. Seeing Obama back-stab Israel and looking at the naked Progressive take-down of the Constitution, I realize that I have been naive. The left is much more than wrong.
While I’m not much into Revelations and prophecy, I wonder whether we are finally seeing the number of the beast.
Which book was where Heinlein started going off the deep end. In my humble opinion.
Here, have some mindfuck, Red.
I can say which one, since he was always a little bent, bless his heart.
Dayum, Pablo! I’m already toying with the idea that there really is an anti-Christ, and that he might just have an address on Pennsylvania Ave.
We are so fucked – I mean, Baaled.
What’s a guy to think when the utterly ridiculous starts to become obvious?
Barry’s not the antichrist, btw. Not clever or charismatic enough. Rapture seems to be a ways off unless, you know, SMOD.
BBC reports that Isreal deadly airstrike on Gaza.
Toss this “launches” up there
leigh, early Heinlein was cosmic; Starship Troopers being the one that got me thinking about individual’s relationship to society. He got hung up on sex with Lazarus Long and with reality in number of the Beast. But I always gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Pablo, around 2008 or 9, Barry’s charisma had me worried. Now I worry more about who is pulling his strings.
That picture, caption and story are as funny as anything the Onion has ever done.
Rapture? I never even touched her!
“Barry’s not the antichrist, btw. Not clever or charismatic enough. Rapture seems to be a ways off unless, you know, SMOD.”
Obama is clever and charismatic enough to be the POTUS, arguably the most powerful man in the world. I’m not going to declare him the antichrist, but understand, the antichrist is the false prophet of the beast, and is given power by the beast, he doesn’t have power of his own volition. Also understand, the beast(Satan) deceives the world. He’s not going to present himself as he is, he is going to fool the world into thinking the God of Israel is false, and heaven can be achieved on earth by man. Utopianism if you will.
As for the rapture…
That concludes my Sunday sermon.
Rapture? That stuff is for Protestants. I never heard anything about it until the “Born Again Christians” showed up around 1980.
As for Obama, he isn’t the anti-Christ. I don’t find him charismatic, clever or well-spoken. But, I am only one person and perhaps his particular brand of genius is beyond my ken.
heh, it’s Djinn djenius.
Heh.
“I don’t find him charismatic, clever or well-spoken.”
Whatever. He’s accomplished more to transform this country than anyone since Wilson though, and still has a damn good shot at being re-elected. Whereupon I’m pretty damn sure he will finish the job, boorish, stupid, and teleprompter dependent as he may be.
American economical dominance in the world…gone, Military dominance…gone, Israel…gone, individual liberty…a thin candy coating when allowed by popular vote and/or bureaucratic benevolence.
The Rapture, I don’t know, I’m a non-denominational Christian and don’t give it much thought. Jesus is returning in glory one day, I know not when, and I trust Him with the details.
He’s accomplished more to transform this country than anyone since Wilson …
That’s debatable. I know Glenn Beck likes to say that. Glenn Beck says a lot of things, it doesn’t mean he’s right or wrong. It means he has ADD.
It remains to be seen if all of the things you mention in your post are the doing of Obama or are a domino effect of other world events set in motion long ago and are merely come to fruition in one glorious clusterfuck of world economic and military implosion.
People thought Hitler was the Anti-Christ and he surely did a lot more damage in a few years than His Nibs, Obama.
“That’s debatable. I know Glenn Beck likes to say that. Glenn Beck says a lot of things, it doesn’t mean he’s right or wrong. It means he has ADD.”
I rarely listen to Beck, I’m using my own eyes, thank you very much.
“People thought Hitler was the Anti-Christ and he surely did a lot more damage in a few years than His Nibs, Obama
Hitler is dead, Obama hasn’t finished yet. Hitler didn’t have a millionth of the destructive power Obama has. Hitler had to search far and wide for Jews to slaughter, now we have Israel.
I think there have been many antichrists in the last two millennium, including Hitler, Marx, and Mao. The last one will have the power to bring in the apocalypse.
I don’t know if Obama is that antichrist, but I haven’t seen anything to tell me he’s not.
If we’re going to talk about Hitler, he didn’t even start his war until he’d been in power twice as long as Obama has. The #Occupant-in-Chief may yet prove to be more damaging than ol’ Dolf, given the chance.
maybe baracky can start a war with england this year to celebrate the war of 1812
Hitler was just a fer instance, McGehee. I don’t want to talk about him and was just using an easy analogy.
Confirmation. He only cares about himself.
He certainly does, doesn’t he? Your link says BO “may” visit Israel.
Sure, he will.
This is silly, incoherent as a rationale [for a visit], plainly. Right? That is, what is reassuring, what demonstrable of a “US commitment to defend Israel”, how would that commitment be “unshakable”, should the external circumstances of the strategic picture the Israelis understand themselves to face — determined largely by the Iranians, say — in their own defense necessitate an earlier go date than “Sept.” and certainly November? It’s asinine to begin with to think such a thing, such a position, comforting or reassuring. It would have, on the contrary, precisely the opposite effect.
Posted at wrong thread.
But then, the YNet article doesn’t bother to ask the question whether the opposite effect is in fact the intended effect, which, it could very well be. Why [hypothetically] intended in that sense is harder to make out, since after all, one wouldn’t think the Israeli reaction to abandonment would necessarily be to give up their sovereignty altogether and obey Obama, but to seek other useful alliances elsewhere and everywhere they can be found, so to press on to their defense and as they see it, salvation.
