Followed, no doubt, by pestilence. And locust plagues. And the death of your first born son.
But worry not: Barack Obama and the Democrats are the lamb’s blood you smear on your door frame.
— Which, I guess maybe the Dems didn’t remove God from their party platform at all. They’ve merely repackaged him as the State, with helpful, dedicated, moral, and beneficent bureaucrats looking out for your poor souls the new clergy of the elect.
If this is our new Church, then the Reformation can’t come soon enough. What will they do when we nail our 95 Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Central Planning to the door of the Capitol?
They won’t be summoning your ass to Worms to defend your argument, I’ll tell you that.
Stolen from Kate:
The bad news: As many as 9 DNC hotels are infested with blood sucking parasites.
The good news: They check out on Thursday.
The bad news: As many as 9 DNC hotels are infested with blood sucking parasites.
“A call went out and the ICE vans showed up….problem solved!“
” What will they do when we nail our 95 Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Central Planning to the door of the Capitol?”
That depends on whether we have an alliance of German princes (who don’t like the whole Holy Roman Empire idea much) to hide behind and whether we can effectively translate the ideology of the founding fathers into the common tongue and get people to read it. Hopefully there won’t be as much fighting as the last reformation. And if our side, as the new analog to Luther, can avoid writing any analogs to those anti-semitic letters [Lumberg_voice] that would be Grrreeaaat. [/lumberg_voice]
I hope gulermo is making out ok. 7.6 is nothing to sneeze at.
They’re saying no casualties or significant damage and the tsumani warning is canceled. So that’s good.
… that would be Grrreeaaat.
Doesn’t matter what we write, Palae — it’ll still be full of dog whistles. Because that’s just the sort of people we are.
Not to forget dogs and cats living together.
– I’m having a bit of trouble adjusting to my New Government Issue Jump suit (in dayglo orange) because the harness tabs and shackle plates keep getting caught on door jams whenever I do the laundry.
– I think that suit statement should always be accompanied by a background of trumprt blair
That’s kind of what the socons have been saying since before Reagan.
Good. I can’t say a Diet of Worms would be good for my digestion.
“Without more and bigger government regulations, drought and famine are inevitable.”
I can’t help but notice that it was, what, last week of August, and we finally got a hurricane? Nevermind that it only attained actual “hurricane” status for about two hours. Not having many storms, let alone any stronger than Cat 2/3, since the big 2005 season kinda explains all the Katrina nostalgia.
OTOH, all that probably confirms is how thankful we should be to the mushroomed State of the past four years.
– The Donkshits have announced they’ll be moving Jug ears speech back to the smaller arena,
– They say it was a public safety issue, but a source said it was because they’d only been able to hand out less than 15,000 of the available 75,000 tickets, and that included all the payed fors they are busing in from neighboring states.
“They say it was a public safety issue,”
Man, trust me, you don’t want to see what happens when water gets on 15,000 witches. They made the right call.
– The DNC said they were afraid of lightning, some on the Conservative side said that was nonsense, the local weather forecast is for sprinkles and 2% chance of any thunder storms, The RNC said what they really were afaraid of was……..
“empty chairs”
“The DNC said they were afraid of lightning”
They DID just take God out of the platform and followed up by throwing Israel to the sharks. Fear of lightning seems rather appropriate in these circumstances.
– Rasmussen has Romney at 48%, Obama 45%, and the trendlines are back on track for a steady slow increase for Romney and a sready slow decline for Obama. With the unemployment numbers due out Friday, said to be unchanged or upward a tenth if anything, and the wrap up to the DNC. we should start seeing a definate trend starting around early next week.
– If the present trends continue Obama will need that home in Florida after election day.
mochelle wants your pizza
A woman recently told the campaign her family skipped a pizza dinner at their favorite place so that they could make a difference in this election.
That is the commitment that drives this campaign.
If you can support Barack with a donation today, please know it makes a huge difference.

I’m back-dating the pizza outing my wife and I had last week at Johnny’s in Newnan to serve as my response to FLATUS’s plea.
Not that we wouldn’t do it again if the back-dating doesn’t take…
FLOTUS.
goin’ to put y’all back in chains
Until this moment I had just assumed, apparently quite naively, that Democrats and liberals deep in their hearts of course loved freedom, and only appeared to embrace the incipient totalitarianism of “big government” Democratic politics because they were actually unaware where Nanny-Statism leads, blocking out any consciousness of the downside of collectivism and purposely putting on the Happy Face Blinders. Back when I was a liberal that was my sin as well: absolutely refusing to acknowledge any potential flaw in my political philosophy.
But this video reveals a horrible new truth: They do know that Big Government leads to a nation of slaves — and they’re glad about this fact!

If Obama had been any good at being president, if he weren’t an offensive, vain , dishonest, grandiose, thin skinned little ideologue twerp, a Chicago-machine trained crook out of his depth, and a miserable failure at policy, he wouldn’t NEED to beg people to skip pizza dinners to keep his lead-weight ass afloat in the campaign. If he weren’t bullshit he wouldn’t need to bullshit so damned much. We live in a country where after four years of Obama working his magic on the economy, his own followers can’t have wedding gifts and pizza night.
What A TURD.
They liked the idea of Empire just fine. What they didn’t like was the Emperor trying to run the Empire as if he were the King of France.
Given that hard-leftist policies are pretty good at causing famines, I’d say this falls into the “promise” category.
Amazingly laughable. Yes, deregulation is the scourge of North Korean agriculture.
They won’t be summoning your ass to Worms to defend your argument, I’ll tell you that.
I think you can forget the whole “safe conduct” promise, at a minimum.
– We live in that sort of America after 4 years because the Progressive Demovratic party under Marxo-Socialist Obama did what all Socialist movements have always done. They openly declared war on venture capitalists.
– No ideology likes to share power with the money people, but the Socialists make it a mantra of their state religion, so they always fail.
– If Romney wins there will be a sudden inflow of investment capital, and that is where the jobs will come from, nothing government does, beyond greasing the skids with favorable tax, trade, and labor laws, is a positive for business and a growing healthy economy.
– Government can only set a good investment playing field, it cannot control the free market, anymore than it can control the weather.
– Right now the ventures people, I use to be one, are drawing up their ‘country investment rating’ Gaintt charts in anticipation of a Romney win. Today the process is more competitive because of the move toward globalization, but America is by far still the profered country for risk reasons and resources, provided we have an administration that gets it.
– How much, and how fast we grow, or in other words, how strong a recovery, directly depends on how well we turn around the ‘hate business’ atmosphere.
– Another 4 years of Obama and the Left and we’ll be living in a Baltic country, or worse. we’ll be in the same stage of failure as Greese.
Also, regarding newrouter’s link to Zombie’s tatler post:
anybody else just a little bit disappointed in Zombie?
Political intentions of the analog Schmalkaldic League aside, if we have an analog to the reformation we’ll just end up arguing with analog Jesuits in an analog Council of Trent.
Come to think of it Charles V was from Belgium. Creepy.
Come to think of it Charles V was from Belgium. Creepy.
It was the Spanish Netherlands then. The abomination that is Belgium wasn’t a twinkle in anyone’s crossed eyes at that point.
Charles was a pretty savvy leader, all told. He also took responsibility for and care of his bastards, which was not always the case. He was a little more flexible religiously-speaking than the first round of churchmen who disputed with Luther. Alas.
“anybody else just a little bit disappointed in Zombie?”
Zombie primarily takes pictures of weirdos with signs. That’s her big skill. She documents weirdos. She was still siding with CJ six months after he turned until he drove her off. She’s not the deepest analyst who ever blogged a blog or anything. She’s been known to wear a goggle now and then and seems to speak with the confusion of one who chases the green faerie too far into the (worm) woods.
– Zombies can’t swim.
* Thus endeth today’s lesson *
And his mama was as nuts as Barry’s. hmmm….
from rr’s 1964 speech
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I’d like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There’s only an up or down—[up] man’s old—old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the “Great Society,” or as we were told a few days ago by the President, we must accept a greater government activity in the affairs of the people. But they’ve been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves; and all of the things I now will quote have appeared in print. These are not Republican accusations. For example, they have voices that say, “The cold war will end through our acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism.” Another voice says, “The profit motive has become outmoded. It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state.” Or, “Our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century.” Senator Fullbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the President as “our moral teacher and our leader,” and he says he is “hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document.” He must “be freed,” so that he “can do for us” what he knows “is best.” And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as “meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government.”
Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as “the masses.” This is a term we haven’t applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, “the full power of centralized government”—this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don’t control things. A government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.
Bud his dad was handsome Erst. So handsome.
Bud->But.
His dad was named Phillip not Bud.
Bud…Like 420 dude! Snort!
I would have thought that much exposure to the weirdos would have persuaded her that they were the vanguard, not the outliers.
Meh. My reefer jokes as as bad as my ICP jokes. Don’t bake it; can’t fake it.
