A couple of days ago, I put up a short post that was basically a link to the Busness Roundtable CEO’s remarks on the growing evidence of TCM / FHer hostility to the private sector.
In today’sWSJ, Kimberly Strassel looks at how his new-found alarm is symptomatic of the moral and logical blindspot so many in the business community when it comes to the relationship between politics and their own self-interest. This obsequious cozying-up on the part of large corporations (You don’t see it so much among smaller businesses. They tend to band together into trade associations for the purposes of ferociously combatting statism.) to the FHer agenda has a long pedigree.
I guess a late wake-up call is better than none.
In the 60s, there was a pop-R&B song about a lady who befriended a cold and lonely snake that turned around and bit her. The last verse comes to mind in this situation:
“Aw, shut, silly woman,” said that reptile with a grin / “You knew darn well I was a snake the day you brought me in.”

Some fresh Rasmussen numbers. Among them: The Aquarian Totalitarian’s approval number sinks to 44%. And dig this: 63% of us want socialist health care repealed.

Man, this post-American regime knows how to ratchet up the creepiness factor.
Henry Waxman wants these companies’ CEOs to testify before his Energy Committee, and bring with them all data related to how they came up with their analyses of their situations.
This is getting sinister as hell. Some dweeb who couldn’t run a lemonade stand wants to publicly question the prognosticative methods of those who sweat the futures of the enterprises they run every day and night. Since this isn’t a subpoena, I’d love for these CEOs to tell this little pipsqueak to stick it up his Stalinist tail end.
Byron York at the Washington Examiner also reports on this development.
Think about the gauntlet this pasty-faced little stool sample is laying down. If you exercise your right to tell me and my subcommittee to go to hell, we’ll subpoena you for your confidential documents on your companies’ finances.

I’m not the first to point this out, nor is Neo-neocon, but it’s important to point out once again.

. . . Pundit and Pundette have coverage of such phenomena in its wake as the CBO’s inability to score it, and the latest display of Robert Gibbs’s sinister deceitfulness.

I suppose it’s obligatory to mention the 1981 “I am in control” episode, but the main point about this towering figure is that he was a warrior of the highest principle, caliber and distinction, on the battlefields of Korea and Vietnam and anyplace else he encountered Freedom-Haters. He loved the United States of America with all his heart. (He hated war, too, but knew you must be ready to prevail when threatened by an enemy.)

Joel B. Pollack at The American Thinker asks, what is a legitimate Palestinian grievance? (He makes the point in the course of his essay that any serious answer will have to be formulated after dispensing with its use as code for absolutist demands such as the right of return.)

Chile joins an undercurrent of reversal of South America’s leftward shift.
The US will start participating in a similar trend in the North on Tuesday!

The HHS report on the latest version of FHer-care says that it’s one expensive proposition indeed. Expanding Medicare will inevitably lead to cuts in services. The long-term-care provision will draw the big-time-sick demographic, leading to soaring premiums. So much for whether it’s “fair” to make cost commensurate with risk. That’s the way it would play out even under socialism.
As the linked post says, somebody’s going to get a memo saying, “We don’t do truth in the People’s Republic of Obamica. Knock it off.”
UPDATE: Both the Mayo Clinic and the AMA give a big thumbs-down to expanding Medicare.

Now that we know this, I hope some intrepid journalist will hold TCM’s feet to the fire regarding the “jump-to-conclusions” remark.

When I heard about the Fort Hood situation, I thought, “Either a garden-variety postal type, or there’s an Islamic connection.” Well, there’s certainly one of those.

I’ve stayed out of this fray for as long as I could.
Last year, when several observers warned, “You just watch. If TCM gets elected, a climate will ensue in which criticism of him will be branded as racism,” I really thought – hoped? – that that was a tad alarmist. Except for MSM stoking of it (and activist judges trying to breathe life into it so as to increase government power), the whole matter of race was truly a dead horse that couldn’t be flogged any more. If one looked around in his or her daily life, one saw a veritable demographic fruit salad. To interface with society at all was to come in contact with people from all races and ethnicities in all manner of roles, from boss to co-worker to sales person to customer to minister to teacher to – well, president. So I truly thought that anybody who tried such a cheap, childish, vulgar move would be marginalized before his remarks gained any traction.
I underestimated the vulgarity that Freedom-Haters will employ in their quest to destroy America. Now we have the likes of Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson, Georgia Jew-hater Jimmy Carter, NYT columnist Maureen Dowd, to name the ones who immediately come to mind, reaching into thin air and fabricating a racial implication to Joe Wilson’s outburst during TCM’s speech.
You had various TV people pointing out the (predominantly white) makeup of the crowd in DC last Saturday. Even Bill O’Reilly asked various guests if they thought there was any significance to that. Knock it off, Bill.
This is embarrassing. Time will be wasted untangling the strands of garbage thought that have tied our societal conversation in an utterly useless knot. Ideas and principles pertaining to the actual subject of the debate – health care and human freedom – will have an even harder time getting an airing.
What is the best thing to do? Ignore any charges of racism or bigotry that might be leveled against you and continue to defend freedom and common sense and point out folly, deceit and freedom-hatred wherever you see it. Keep garbage out of your polemical approach. Determine to be a grown-up. It’s way too late in the day to let the race-baiters sidetrack us into juvenile pissing contests.
