Alex Wagner at Politics Daily lays out the laundry list of ways that the Most Equal Comrade and his regime are moving – careening – in the opposite direction from the reality that is as plain as day to most Americans – Michelle’s lavish Spain vacation, the economic numbers, Iraq’s obvious unpreparedness to take its place among nations as a stable state even as MEC sticks determinedly to his schedule for US withrawal, Robert Gibbs’s antagonizing of MEC’s leftist base.
We’ve never seen anything like this. Just what is the overarching strategy of this bunch? What are they ultimately aiming to do?

Hey, just passin’ along ABC News’s headline for this story: “Michelle Obama addresses NAACP before vote on resolution on “racist” elements in tea party movement.”
Real unifiers, these people.

Last week’s state dinner and post-dinner party in a very expensive tent on the White House lawn was over-the-top vulgar in its ostentation, as we have already noted. Several observers have noted that it was staged at a time when, as we have also noted, there is no money. Also, the bash was thrown, let us not forget, for a foreign leader who took every opportunity during his visit to rip one of our states for passing a law to attempt to preserve civil order, economic stability and cultural cohesiveness.
This regime spits in your eye all day long every day. Don’t take it anymore.

Each radical socialist regime has had its particular set of marketing ploys, if you will, its own ways of selling totalitarianism, in the hopes of bringing the masses along peaceably before the grim police-state tactics have to be employed. The TCM regime’s style for peddling utopian madness is uniquely creepy.
Today’s exhibit is the return of Michele O to high visibility and policy involvement. She’s going to push for government programs to address childhood obesity. In case you, as the ordinary citizen, should respond along the lines of, “aren’t fat kids their parents’ problems?”, which, by the way, is how she handled the matter when her pediatrician told her that Sasha and Malia needed to slim down, she says it’s a national security issue.
This is the TCM regime’s modus operandi: press upon us the urgency of a particular development, the solution to which is implementing what they want to socialize. More fat kids means a military so understaffed as to leave us vulnerable to enemy conquest. Uninsured people means the government should pick up the tab for our doctor and hospital visits. Bankrupt car companies means we should drive golf carts.
Since food is hugely important to me (I strategize lunch options two or three days in advance; I fixate on food photography the way my much-younger self did on pictures of unclad women), I really get my dander up when the leviathan state starts poking its nose into what I’m putting in my mouth. That comes under the headin’ of my business, pardner.

C. Edmund Wright at The American Thinker says that TCM and his wife came home empty-handed from Copenhagen because they completely messed up on the first three rules of selling. They were pushing a product they did not believe in (the United States), they talked about the benefits to the seller (Chicago) rather than to the buyer, and, mainly, they spent their time talking about how wonderful the sales force (themselves) was.

There are a few developments unfolding out there that I haven’t remarked on yet. I may expand any one or more of them into entire posts, but I think they merit some words at this time:
The Copenhagen junket – Once again, Michelle Obama exhibits her finely tuned capacity for the obscene remark – in this case, the one about how she, her husband, Oprah, and fan-of-Communists Valerie Jarrett were making a “sacrifice” to fly over there in a fleet of luxury jets to pimp for Chicago as an Olympics site. Tell it to General McChrystal and the families of the soldiers and Marines who continue to die in Afghanistan as TCM “rethinks strategy.” PLus, shouldn’t the Windy City address its through-the-roof murder rate before it starts worrying about tearing down Tony Rezko slum projects to clear the way for stadiums?
Roman Polanski – Not a lot to add to the proper outrage being expressed in many fine venues. Everything about this is sadly obvious: the behavior of the man himself, the reaction of 90 percent of the entertainment community, the hypocrisy of the feminist movement. One reason I’m looking at expanding this into an entire post is that the one notable thing about this juncture to which we’ve come is the way that giving a pass to moral monsters has gotten completely out of hand. Witness the track record of TCM’s “safe schools czar” Kevin Jennings. Something is seriously sinister when a guy with that curriculum vitae is in a position like that.
Boxer – Kerry – Another example of how, even though they’re well aware of the massive public opposition to yet another socialist scheme based on junk information, based on the aftermath of Waxman-Markey squeaking through in the House this summer, our freedom-hating overlords are going to try it again in a slightly different package in the Senate, this time with even more stringent emissions-reduction standards, which translates into an even bigger wrecking ball being applied to the economy.
A rather busy day today, but I will try to get back to one or more of these topics.

My recent post “Sam has no idea how to diagnose us” dealt with Sam Tanenhaus’s New Republic piece on his delusion that conservatism was dead. (More accurately, it was a heads-up to read Roger Kimball’s reaction to it at Pajamas Media.)
Along comes further evidence that these effete East Coast smarty-pants sycophants to the Freedom Haters truly have no idea how things operate beyond the Boston-NYC-Washington corridor. Michael Hirsch at Newsweek now offers his prescription for how TCM can reagain control of the “stimulus” debate. He says that said debate has become, as he views it, mired in a “decidedly stale, Republican-style debate over pork, waste and overspending.” As if these were incidental matters, barely consequential, tiny roadblocks on the way to the realization of The Anointed One’s grand vision for rescuing America from this recession.
My God, what kind of wild drug is Hirsch ingesting these days? Has he not seen the lists, available everywhere, of all the unaffordable, unadvisable and just plain silly measures in the bill? How about six billion for university buidlings? Or $380 million for the Women, Children and Infants program? $4.2 billion for “neighborhood stabilization activities”? $145 billion for “Making Work Pay” tax credits? $83 billion for the Earned Income Tax Credit? $600 million to convert the federal auto fleet to hybrids? $850 million to Amtrak? $2 billion for renewable energy research? And that’s only eight examples from the list of fifty posted on NRO’s home page today.
Hirsch perhaps hasn’t seen the Congressional Budget Office’s report that this monstrosity would be harmful to the US economy in the long term. Or the latest poll numbers showing that public support for it has sunk to 37 percent.
If conservatives will just muster all the clarity of vision and ferocity of resolve they can, it will be easy to give this whole FHer house of cards – the majority in government, the lapdog MSM, the arts-and-entertainment world, the education fiefdom – a gentle poke and see it collapse. These people are like the Wicked Witch of the West, who, because she was made of nothing but brown sugar, melted at the slightest moistening. To use a more historical example, the whole FHer infrastucture is more like the Ceaucescu regime in Romania, or the Mussolini regime in Italy. Or, to use a domestic analogy, it is like a violently addictive family member whose bluff can be called. In each case – most definitely including the TCM / Pelosi / Hirsch / Tanenhaus stronghold, a little standing up to them by normal people armed with a grip on reality could be their instant undoing. We’ve seen eveidence that this is possible over the last week. This is no time to let up.

. . . for strongly condemning what’s been going on in Toledo, which is a foretaste of the Stasi-like means of dealing with those who dare to exercise their constitutional freedoms that we can expect once the FHers institute one-party rule.

Michael Weiss at Pajamas Media details the nature of Bloomberg’s stint as NYC mayor. A classic portrait of an opportunist who has been so busy climbing some percieved success ladder while harboring vague notions of what he ought to care about on a policy and overarching-philosophy level that he’s a hugely easy mark for every goofball Freedom-Hater in the book. A whole city suffers as a result.
Money line: “The kind of velvet fascism that rules American corporate culture now rules Gotham.”

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.

I expected this treatment of the Marines out of Berkeley, one of the world’s premier sewers of freedom-hatred, but Toledo, Ohio?
