Your fanny pack can be organic or it can be union-made, but ya can’t have both
The modern-day Democrat party: the perfect confluence of the silly and the totalitarian. Ditto for the city of Denver, which has a Freedom-Hater mayor.
We’d already told you about the no-fried-food convention edict. Now the ball caps and fanny packs for volunteers have to be made from organic cotton and made by union labor. Only one problem: There are no such things.
From time to time, commenters take BN to task for what is perceived to be stridency and over-the-top label-mongering. Sorry, but we’re talking about a once-distinguished political party, a major institution in the civic life of the United States of America that has become a corrosive force and a disgrace. There is nothing to take seriously in any of their unremittingly stupid and childish positions, but there is everything to take seriously about their madness for power.
This is no time to take the ho-hum attitude that “everything runs in cycles. It’s just statistically the Democrats’ turn to have control of Congress and the White House again.” If the current crop of Freedom-Haters gets control of both houses of Congress as well as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, you can bet that they’ll do everything and anything – and I’m not just talking about the normal, at least quasi-legit, channels of shoring up power – to make sure they never again lose control of American life.
Certain types might counter that Republicans also love power and do everything possible to consolidate it and perpetuate it. Eu contraire. We have a current president who is a mush-headed Reasonable Gentleman at least as often as he’s anything close to a conservative with a consistent vision. The current GOP prez candidate is even worse. He’s absolutely pathetic. And the pork-addicted, principle-deficient Republicans on Capitol Hill are obviously perfectly willing to piss away their control of the agenda, as proven in November 2006.
Which is why I’m not real bullish on the future of my country. We’re going to be under the thumb of a Marxist machine more concerned with making us eat arugula, ride bicycles and shiver in our little dens of state housing than with freedom, dignity, national security and pleasing God.

Your man Krauthammer pegs it right on in his column today. Unfortunately, it looks like a landslide for dweebs of this persuasion this election, with people believing in the change thing. Well, things are probably worse than I have seen it in my lifetime, economically and politically, though Bush has tried to flip flop his way into some measure of popularity after his numerous tragic, shall we call them mere gaffes? Some of what it appears the current majority of the electorate views as his major offenses to their sensibilities might rank as plusses to the bloggie, especially, from my experience in his blogosphere, the invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation. We’ve been over and over that here, there, everywhere. Yep, Obama can do no wrong these days and, unfortunately, it appears the majority of voters do not care. They just want the hope of change.
“Obama’s long march to the center has begun. And why not? He won’t lose the left, or even mainstream Democrats. They won’t saty home on Nov. 4. The anti-Bush, anti-Republican sentiment is simply too strong”
You and Rush are going to be totally intolerable for the next four years. I am wondering, though, of course, why you can’t stand by neither your current “Man” or your party now. Since you apparently detest reasonable gentlepersons, well, be as unreasonable (I presume that’s the appropriate alternative) as you want, rant, rave, name call, go out of your frigging minds, if that’s what it’s all driving you to, but, hey gentlemen, the simple fact is that you got creamed in ‘06 and from all appearances, you are gonna really get creamed in ‘08. Oh sure, it’s the death of Western Civilization. We’ll see. We’ll all see. Bush blew it for you dudes! He sucks. Horrible president with precedent, sadly.

Last line of dialogue in “Easy Righter” (filmed 2000-2008), Cheney to Bush, as the ride off on horses (what else, they think they’re cowboys?):
“We blew it Georgie”
Fade to black?

God likes bicycles now, doesn’t He? Oh I suppose he doesn’t or he wouldn’t have made Henry Ford.

We won’t be intolerable for too long. The Freedom-Hater elite vanguard revolutionary committee will no doubt haul us off to the re-education camp, where will starve and toil until, like everybody else, we die at the hands of the jihadists.

Look, the people who will try to force that, along with forcing us to eat arugula, ride bicycles and shiver in our little dens of state housing, will get their commupance from all us angry white men with our God and our guns, if it comes to that. Legalize Pot!
