Talk about your political tone deafness. We belong to the government? And here I thought it belonged to us.
Oh, well. I guess when the personal is the political, the only legitimate opt out from a voracious centralized government that claims for itself increasing control of every aspect of your life is death.
— And which point you vote Democrat, anyway.

So the human species isn’t a thing. Nor is the earth on which the human species has developed. Nor is the sun which warms our bones, nor the vast universe beyond the sun.
Sorry, I don’t “belong” to the State. We own them as was said somewhere.

It’s pretty much inevitable that one day we’ll have to club all these fuckers like baby seals.
Your federal family is all you need.
– If people are still confused about what America will look like should Obama win term just think of us as “Big Greese”.
– Greese is only staying afloat by the handouts of the Euro bloc, mainly Germany. By the time of the elections in November it will peobably be over the cliff in all out civil war.
– That is not a path I will go down without a fight.

Can I laugh more maniacally for them than I do for the baby seals?
I just think they’d appreciate it more than the little furballs do.
Leave it to the Demtards to conflate nation and regime. Regimes come and go, the people remain after regimes fall.

It really is like they’re on a mission to turn Jonah Goldberg into a prophet. I get Liberal Fascism douchechills more and more every day from these creeps.
– Not that I generally give a damn what foreigners think about anything, but I’ve heard it said that all of the other contries that are non-Socialist see whats been going on here for the last 4 years and think America has officially lost its mind.
I can see how people from various formerly-oppressed nations would think that. I mean, here you have a party which has literally nothing to run on save for their projections of how conservatives think, yet their own social scientists have produced mountains of research indicating that we have an infinitely stronger grasp of our opposition than they do. All this crap about dog whistles and our being anti-woman while calling every accusation about Obama a lie makes you wonder why they hate social science so much?
baracky be doubling down on the stupid
– The new definition of “lie” is any fact the Left hates.
[…] -Jeff Goldstein: May as well just lie back and think of England. […]
So I guess Reagan had it exactly backwards. No wonder he was so unpopular.
I think this year it’s “go for broke” or as it is commonly referred to as “going for Baroke”. Let it all hang out for the country to see that the Dems truly are the party of Communism and socialism and that fascism is the wave of the future. We are all Julia. Geeez.
They’re just trying to get their “boot that stamps on a human face forever” on, to shore up the base.
Nah, there not commies.
*they’re not commies
sheesh
Sometimes you just have to force people to understand. For their own good. And the children.
They’re too stupid to know whether or not they’re commies. The left is just a gassy plume of emotive bullshit. Commies are just liberals in a hurry, and it’s hard to not notice that they’ve been especially frenzied since the advent of Obama. Who ever thought they’d see the day when publications like Newsweek would suddenly have the balls to assert that we’re all socialists now? Now that’s suddenly inconvenient again, so the turtle is back in its shell for the moment.
– No, they’re really not, They’re just confused children that don’t recognize they’re being played out onto pleasure island.
– But they’ll know when their ears and tails begin to grow, just how much the koolaide of dependency has cost them their civil linerties.
– They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they’ll listen now.
I’m more inclined to agree with Goldberg that something resembling totalitarianism here would better resemble a Huxleyan vision than an Orwellian one, but we really don’t have a clue about the depths to which they’ll fall. I wish I had a dollar for everything that my liberal friends and I agreed were asinine 10-15 years ago, yet they now believe are perfectly normal. It’s hard to have much generosity of spirit for people who think it’s anything but lunacy to operate on people to change their sex.
“They gonna put y’all in chains!” — Joe Biden
Kind of reminds me of Brian telling everyone that they are all individuals and everyone in the crowd says in unison, “We are all individuals.” And then one guy says, “I’m not.”
sdferr, I changed that aphorism years ago to, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help… myself.”
It takes a village, in the same way that it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
heh, apt.
One more, apparently it is the government saying, “All your (insert noun) belong to us!”
It takes a village, in the same way that it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
Stealing that.
“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” — Samuel Adams
Yeah, this one has me quite annoyed.
– The total lack of any meaningful demonstartions at either the RNC, or at least so far at the DNC, might at first glance seem dissapointing.
– But it might also underscore the general lack of interest in the Dem base. You know, that thing they’re busy denying while they’re out doing fund raisers every day of the campaign, and having to bus in moonbats to fill empty seats.
A lot of us “individuals” are doing pretty shitty and in almost four years it has stayed that way and it’s about to get worse as 2nd term consequences of “affordable health care” start to hit and probably cost more of us jobs and simultaneously raise some of our “taxes”. The government is doing great though! They’ve never flown quite so high! So vote for the party of more government! Or vote for the guy who invented Romneycare. Your choice. For the moment. We’ll probably have that taxed away from us too eventually.
Dear DNC,
Get stuffed.
– I hope they’re all deleriously happy, because whether they know it or not the Democratic party just signed its own death warrent.

Michelle Obama: Barack knows that it means when a family struggles. That’s why he dumped a shit load of public money into failing solar energy companies and told you to deal with high gas prices with a tire gauge. That’s why we aren’t drilling for our own oil and paying Brazil to do it instead! And that’s why we need a cap and trade energy tax!
Joe Biden: Whoo! I like this cheese! Have you guys TRIED this cheese? Mmm. You guys are lucky as heck to have a government that makes cheese this good! I swear!

– So what I got from that was she loves her husband, because, like her, he gamed the AA system for all it was worth, and so we all, including the 23 million Americans whose job’s he didn’t save so he could save the GM unions 1 million jobs, and the 46.7 million on foodstamps, the 13 million whose homes are under water, and gawd knows how many that are on permenant welfare, shou;d all love him tooooooo. (she’s got the Obama ‘I must be authentic because I stutter so well for effect’ stutter down to an art, and yeh, i-i-it’s the Baptist minister dealio.)
– But then again, I’m probably just not used to my new government issued ‘freedom suit’ in orange.

“Obama’s Favorable Rating Now Underwater” says the headline.
Yep, right along with Mary Jo Kopechne.
Underwater with the all important (to Democrats) women voters too. Down 9 points from 57 to 48.
But that’s still 2 points higher than Mitt Romney’s favorable rating. So, there’s that.
Never mind the margin of error.
Some shit going down between Barrett Brown and Stacy McCain that evidently I’m supposed to be interested in. Not sure what the deal is. Brown’s Twitter feed is BarrettBrownLOL or some such. You all probably already follow Stacy.
I’m drinking beer and watching TV with my wife. So let me know what happens, you who might be interested in such stuff.
– Doesn’t matter. If Massive ears isn’t able to carry everyone of the percentages in demographics he did last time out it will be a blood bath.
– And don’t think they don’t know that.
If Obama gets a big bounce from this I will throw up and keep the vomit in a shoe box as a valuable artifact of these troubled times.
In 2022 I will ask my nervous dinner guests if they want to see my 2nd term Obama-vomit from ten years ago and I’ll say something like “Don’t worry, it’s all dried out and odorless. It looks kind of like Sanka and Tang had a chemical engineering baby only it came out of my mouth and nose. “
I’m so happy I was on soccer-practice duty for the twins tonight. Great excuse to sit outside and listen to a gaggle of 9 year olds yelling at each other to “kick it! kick it!” Tons more entertaining then the cranks and inmates at the asylum called DNC2012.
I’m wondering if any one here was taken with El-Lay’s own Mayor Tony V … didn’t you love his bumbling fumbling mispronunciations? His rambling, never get to the point and Oh Look SQUIRREL stuff?
Hey boys and girls, that’s not schtick. That’s the most failed mayor evah.
There’s a reason he tried to pass the bar four times and never made it.
If ever there was an affirmative-action politico, a pawn of the labor unions that have shoved him down the throats of constituents, it’s the lovely Tony V.
I did listen to some clips of earlier DNC speakers

What about the mothers who aborted their daughters?
– While we’re on the subject there’s a kerfluffle over at Huff’n’Poop. They tried running a rumor to counter the removal of Isreal from the platform, and the Jewish AIPAC group is calling it total lies.

“I’m drinking beer and watching TV with my wife. So let me know what happens, you who might be interested in such stuff.”
I’m sure Stacy McCain will be fine.
He’s got that whole nifty “Akin sucks and anyone who supports him is stupid and it’s his fault we won’t gain the senate ’cause he won’t roll up and play ball when commanded to by his team inevitable betters who need to him to take one for the team while they shoot flames and angry bees at him.” cantrip to protect him from harm and misfortune.
Nothing bad can happen if you are repeating that over and over again. Everyone knows that but the bottom 20% of visigoths and hobbits who can’t be helped. (The fabled ‘Omega quintile’ of the right built to hold Birchers, Buchannonites, Paulites, and their unhelpful ilk apart from the acceptable GOP population. It’s like Yucca mountain for those who can’t abandon non-pragmatic concepts the party has discarded after their lack of current utility has been recognized by the K street wizards of smart.)
And Anonymous is mostly DOS-script kiddies anyway.
‘Akin – The conservative zombie that just wouldn’t die.’

Honest to God, it does look like they are going to double, triple down, no – go all in on “you didn’t build that”. This really could get sickening.
No, Carin. I believe she and the Big Dawg are up tonight.
So ‘1984’ was a how-to manual?
Things I was never taught in high school…
That’s funny Mikey. I was thinking it’s more like “Brave New World” with all the sex and no babies.
“Honest to God, it does look like they are going to double, triple down, no – go all in on “you didn’t build that”. This really could get sickening.”
Which is part and parcel of the difficulty of reading the leftists for intention.
Is it the case on the one hand that in order to preach “you didn’t build that” they would have had to have “gone all in” from the get go, believing they actually had hold of a truth, which, if premised, would necessitate that as a truth it would run through the relations of all things at all times? (And given the commonplace stupidity of many a leftist, this doesn’t seem too far fetched.)
Or, on the other hand, is the contention of “you didn’t build that” so stupid, so askew with the everyday world — which world we think no-one can avoid — that the leftist can’t be supposed to be so dumb as to believe the premise (ever), hence, the “you didn’t build that” premise is and can only be from their view an efficient means to an end quite apart from the “social” message they pretend to hold (the end being, namely, power).
Maybe on second thought, it isn’t so hard to distinguish as at first it might appear?
For leftists, “intentions” are what they put into their disastrous policies to protect themselves from the negative political consequences thereof.
Intending anything coherent in their messages is beyond their ken. They don’t think before they speak, lest they give up the element of surprise.
Which is why they love Biden so much.
Heh.
Maybe the simplest thing is to revert to the ancient distinction: deeds vs. words.
No, No, NO! This is the Obama administration. It’s “two chickens and some pot!”
