What’s not included: countless attacks on President Bush, infinite utterances of “Let me be clear” and other such oratorical banalities, and zillions of dollars redistributed to anything that destroys prosperity/life/freedom.
In light of the Democrats’ recent losses in New Jersey and Virginia, the switcheroo of Rep. Parker Griffith, the retirements of various incumbents (before the voters could turf them out) and the fatal unpopularity of other big beasts of the Left, consistently atrocious polling for both their leader and his policies, and now the potentially glorious defeat of Martha Coakley in Massachusetts (!), let’s take a little look back at a piece published last month in The Washington Post by William M. Daley.
Daley warned that,
Either we plot a more moderate, centrist course or risk electoral disaster not just in the upcoming midterms but in many elections to come.
Want some more? How about:
All that is required for the Democratic Party to recover its political footing is to acknowledge that the agenda of the party’s most liberal supporters has not won the support of a majority of Americans — and, based on that recognition, to steer a more moderate course on the key issues of the day, from health care to the economy to the environment to Afghanistan.
Daley, who possesses an immense advantage over nearly all other Left-wingers by not being totally blind to reality, concluded that,
The leaders of the Democratic Party need to move back toward the center — and in doing so, set the stage for the many years’ worth of leadership necessary to produce the sort of pragmatic change the American people actually want.
Even Barry’s impenetrable self-belief should be shaken by this. Rather than chart a new course, however, Zero is obstinately sticking to his (replica) guns, tossing aside all criticism and courageously persevering with his cultural revolution.
Nothing has discredited the Left more often than itself: thank you for being the latest non-entity to play the role of self-defeating tool to perfection, Barry.
Yeah, this pic has got nothing at all to do with the post.
What is Barry doing? Despite his entirely two-dimensional thinking, the world outside of his microcosm does have a third dimension, thus could he have walked around the hurdle. I guess he’s saving all the heavy thinking for the health care/cap’n'tax/Guantanamo fiascoes.
Anyway, while the great unwashed continues to suffer, King Barry has been livin’ it up, thankyouverymuch. The great pretenders have hosted
As it was a fellow statist who uttered this, it presumably wasn’t even offensive, let alone racist.
Much like how this was also not racist, by dint of its owner also being a member of the stupid party.
The Democratic civil war is erupting on every front.
PS – Plus, who the f*ck is Al Sharpton to bestow forgiveness on anyone, much less Dirty Harry? Does the name Tawana Brawley ring any bells, you f*cking sh*tbag? F*ck, do I detest that f*cking sh*thead.
PPS – Apologies all, wit goes right out of the window when I’m reminded of the existence of demagogue supreme Al Sharpton.
I love the smell of trepidatious communists in the morning.
Barry wee-wee’d off the Right with his incessant socialism. Then he wee-wee’d off the Center with his fixation on big government and big taxes. And now – oh joy of joys – he’s even succeeding in wee-weeing off the Left.
Friends of the Earth’s supreme enviromaniac, Erich Pica, has slammed Zero, saying that:
Copenhagen just gets better and better. We have Russia accusing the UK’s Meteorology Office of manipulating the “data” behind the AGW hoax, and China steadfastly refusing to consider an agreement that will damage its economy. African nations are p*ssed about a plan by the democracies to force them to do more in the Global War on Carbon, beyond simply taking our money and lavishing it all on new palaces/Mercedes/weapons for themselves. It increasingly appears that Barry has staked his credibility on another trip abroad to achieve precisely nothing.
And, outside of the conference halls where the world’s leaders conspire to rob us blind, lots of enviro-loons have received a taste of good, old-fashioned law and order, all against the backdrop of possibly the first white Christmas in Denmark in 14 years.
Barry has precious little time to achieve anything substantive before the Republicans slash the Democrat’s stranglehold on power next year (and he’s wasting it on pointless PR exercises like this). Once that happens, his whole agenda, his fervent desire to make the rich poor, and the poor poorer, is gone. Barry is incapable of doing a Clinton and moderating himself, having never known anything other than the deepest, darkest recesses of the far-Left.
The humbling of the most hubristic man on the planet awaits us.
That’s, of course, in addition to the trillion for Porkulous and the omnibus, the trillion or so for cap’n'tax, a couple trillion for healthcare, a couple more trillion by which the debt ceiling has been raised (which, in effect, is spending money for economic illiterates), and the whopping great $3.5 trillion 2010 budget.
There are probably more examples of his trillion-buck spending rampages, but I’m having trouble keeping track of all of Barry’s f*cktard actions.
Updates are gonna be sparse today, guys. 10 people, out of 35, were fired (Merry Christmas!) where I work last week…
In an unprecedented move, Hillary Clinton yesterday said something that reflected real reality, rather than the Democrats’ preferred imaginary reality.
Speaking in uncharacteristically straightforward language for any diplomat (with the exception of John Bolton), Clinton admitted that Zero’s desire to talk the mad mullahs into acquiescence has so far achieved not a single, solitary, lonely thing.
Which puts the Democrats in an almighty quandary. Though Barry has supported the surge in Afghanistan -- which he must’ve detested doing with every fiber of his being -- the chances of him giving the green light to the use of military force with regard to Iran are negligible.
Not that the Democrats always have an aversion to this type of thing. Bubba increased the presence of US troops in Somalia in 1993, deployed a military force to Haiti in 1994, and bombed Yugoslavia in 1999.
But what options are there on Iran? Delegate responsibility to Israel, which has the most to fear from a potential Iranian strike? Work behind the scenes with Saudi Arabia to destabilize the mullocracy, cripple its economy, or spark further civil unrest? Arm the PMOI/NCRI and let them try to eradicate the Khamenei regime, then pray that they themselves are not equally insane? Permit aerial strikes not against the dozens (or, according to other estimates, hundreds) of targets linked to Iran’s nuclear weaponization program, but against its oil refineries, which number around a dozen or less?
Hope for the best?
It won’t be much short of a miracle for there to be any outcome on Iran that is less than disastrous. If Barry can somehow steer events in a less-than-catastrophic direction -- intentionally, not by lucking out -- then he’ll earn the grudging respect of a large swathe of foreign policy realists (myself included, news of which I’ve no doubt will thrill Barry O).
I mean, c’mon. He must’ve been one of those nerds that even bullied kids would themselves bully. Remember how pathetic those geeks were?
Who would even answer Oprah’s infuriatingly stupid question about how he would grade his own tenure so far?
It’s not YOU that does THAT, loser. For such a savvy political operator, Barry sure jumped into that pothole with both feet. Discounting the grade-inflation that Left-wingers love so much, in their efforts to encourage schools not to “discriminate” against thickos by awarding them lower grades, Sean Hannity awarded Barry the following grades:
Job Creation – Good Solid F
Afghanistan – F
Keeping Your Word – F
Teleprompter Reading – A+
Although he left out another sure-fire A+ for The One, in Marxist-revisionist history.
