Over at the Eschaton opium den just now, my friend Steve Simels made the mistake of asking me if I thought that

Obama’s more to the left than Bill Clinton? If so, you’re beyond stupid.

Now, it’s true that Obama and the Big Dog are unusually soulless men who have only ever desired power, but it is also true that Bill Clinton had a great wealth of electoral and executive experience that almost certainly burned out of him any real tendencies he might have had towards socialism or full-on racial or gender equality. Obama, by contrast, has virtually no executive experience (outside of being a grievance engineer in a very corrupt city) and, so, is obviously more smitten with pie-in-the-sky Leftist horseshit. That’s why he thinks it personally necessary to go and apologize to the Eurozombies for the bad feelings they’ve been feeling about America. Pobrecitos! Once Obama Skywalker alights upon Washington, all the world will ooh and aah and feel good about us again. Because that’s what we’ve been needing: the approval of people who don’t even have the sense to defend themselves against the Mohammedan Menace.

When Barack Hussein Obama is President, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk again.

Just caught the last few minutes of Madame Couric fluffing Obama Soter —and it turns out that the reason he’s going to hold a campaign rally in front of Hitler’s favorite monument to Prussian militarism is to get the krauts “to feel good” about America again. And to say we’re sorry to our “old enemies.” So very, very sorry.

Obama is an abomination. Inshallah, this wankfest he’s been on this past week will be the beginning of the end of his hopes. Surely Americans won’t reward this degree of narcissism.

Drudge links to this report about Muslim women in Europe (and presumably elsewhere) who are choosing to surgically restore their hymens:

Gynecologists report that in the past few years, more Muslim women are asking for certificates of virginity before marriage.

That trend in turn has created a demand among cosmetic surgeons for hymen replacements, which, if done properly, they say, will not be detected and will produce tell-tale vaginal bleeding on the wedding night. The service is widely advertised on the Internet; there are medical tourism packages to countries like Tunisia where the procedure is less expensive.

“If you’re a Muslim woman growing up in more open societies in Europe, you can easily end up having sex before marriage,” said Hicham Mouallem, a doctor in London who performs the surgery. “So if you’re looking to marry a Muslim and don’t want to have problems, you’ll try to recapture your virginity.”

What a pathetic commentary on Islam —and dhimmitude— in Eurabia. If you “don’t want to have problems”? What problems? Oh! You mean problems like a young woman getting kicked to death by her own father and brothers because she was seen talking to an infidel? That happened recently in Iraq, but we hear about the Mohammedans’ sharia-approved murder all the time throughout what once was Europe.

It’s interesting that the term “honor killing” has passed by that very form into the public discourse without any question or qualification. Is it a literal translation of something the Prophet said? Doesn’t it appall the Western Left? Or are they too sure of Bushitler’s crimes against humanity to ever stop and consider what sort of enemy we are really facing as a civilization?

Jim Hoft mines from the Gorebot’s speech today before the Nobel Committee the motto that should follow him to the compost heap where his grave shall be: “We Are What Is Wrong.”

How succinctly put is the self-loathing essence of the Left. What a window on their soul!

Ewen MacAskill of the Guardian Unlimited writes:

But pivotal to the US investigation into Iran’s suspect nuclear weapons programme was the work of a little-known intelligence specialist, Thomas Fingar. He was the principal author of an intelligence report published on Monday that concluded Iran, contrary to previous US claims, had halted its covert programme four years ago and had not restarted it. Almost single-handedly he has stopped - or, at the very least, postponed - any US military action against Iran.

His report marks a decisive moment in the battle between American neoconservatives and Washington’s foreign policy and intelligence professionals - between ideologues and pragmatists. It provided an unexpected victory for those opposed to the neocon plans for a military strike.

The report, the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which represents the consensus of the 16 US intelligence agencies, gave President George Bush one of his most difficult weeks since taking office in January 2001.

Fingar’s findings were met in many Washington offices occupied by foreign policy and intelligence professionals not only with relief but with rejoicing. They had lost out in the run-up to the war in Iraq in 2003, but they are winning this one.

Well…one can plainly see the importance that Iran’s sympathizers and apologists have invested this NIE with. The degenerate pacifists of Eurabia are determined to sell out their own civilization to keep the peace with Islamist psychopaths. Disgusting.

A couple of days ago, an Iranian ”supervision bureau” executed a 21 year-old gay man for sex-related crimes he supposedly committed several years before.

Government-ordered executions of homosexuals is one of those things one might suppose would anger the “progressive” West, but no. It’s more important to undermine Bush in his fight against the mullahcracy.

The ongoing incarceration of a British schoolteacher in the Sudan for the great crime of permitting her young pupils to name a teddy bear Mohammed is the most disgusting act of moral insanity I have heard of in weeks.

Gordon Brown should advise those filthy floor-kissers that they either put that woman on a plane back home in the next half-hour or he will make their country’s life miserable for years to come.

This is the kind of stuff within Islam that we must act to destroy: this childish and even monstrous ignorance of how the modern world works. Your degraded and superstitious beliefs are destined to die, submitters. That schoolteacher did nothing wrong and you have done nothing right. The judgement will be harsh and it will go against you in the end.

Barack Obama, whose middle name is Hussein, is telegraphing all his moves on Iran (emphases mine):

In an hourlong interview on Wednesday, Mr. Obama made clear that forging a new relationship with Iran would be a major element of what he pledged would be a broad effort to stabilize Iraq as he executed a speedy timetable for the withdrawal of American combat troops.

Mr. Obama said that Iran had been “acting irresponsibly” by supporting Shiite militant groups in Iraq. He also emphasized that Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons program and its support for “terrorist activities” were serious concerns.

It’s ridiculous to call Iran’s actions “irresponsible.” On the contrary, Iran’s actions have been entirely responsible. Don’t get it yet, Barry? Iran is the puppetmaster and Hizballah and that miserable American-killer Muqtada al-Sadr are its proxies. Not just against our men and women and friends in Iraq, but against the perfidious Jews of the Zionist Entity. Iran is acting deliberately to undermine all the countries it sees as a threat. Do you really think you exert the gravity to bring the Dinnerjacket around to your views? The very thought of it is risible. When it isn’t alarming:

But he asserted that Iran’s support for militant groups in Iraq reflected its anxiety over the Bush administration’s policies in the region, including talk of a possible American military strike on Iranian nuclear installations.

What a flaccid apologist for the mullahcracy! He’s giving Iran the Bill Clinton-style empathy treatment: he understands why they’re worried about us. Because we’re the problem.

Disgusting.

Obama’s far too immature for the job of the Presidency. But the contortions his candidacy is putting the anti-war Left through are certainly entertaining. They want to love him because they know that Hillary actually gets the War on Islamofascism. But they don’t want to draw this white-guilt fantasy campaign out so far as to damage Hillary since they understand she’s got it in the bag.

I knew the charade would have to end eventually, but these clowns are taking too long to get to the good part.

It’s no mystery to me, but a guest poster at Andrew Sullivan’s blog observes:

Anti-totalitarianism was once an animating feature of the Democratic Party, and the American left in general. It was FDR who led the United States against Fascism, Harry Truman who aided anti-communists fighting in Turkey and Greece and John F. Kennedy who stated that the United States “would pay any price, bear any burden” to defend freedom abroad. The American labor movement played a crucial role in fighting communism (both domestically and internationally), with the AFL-CIO’s Lane Kirkland, the “Champion of American Labor,” at the helm.

What has happened to this spirit? That’s a question I ask today, in reference to Bayard Rustin, one of the most enigmatic, independent-minded, consistent–yet barely remembered–heroes of 20th century liberalism (he also happened to be openly gay, an aspect of Rustin’s life that Andrew examined here). A social democrat to the end, he joined other liberals (many of whom would eventually become neo-conservatives) in supporting Scoop Jackson for president in 1976, formed the Coalition for a Democratic Majority to fight the McGovernite wing of the party and was a founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger. He was also a strong supporter of Israel and one of the few black American leaders to warn of the dangers that a Zimbabwe led by Robert Mugabe would bring to bear.

Liberals and anti-war Leftists are not united or motivated by any belief in the power of Americanism or in the country that created it, but only by partisan hatred and their inability to deal with their recent electoral failures (and I would certainly include 2006 in that, which was heralded by the disgusting whores in Big Media as a “Democratic mandate,” but which was never going to be anything of the kind). Thus, when the only thing that matters is attacking the other party, it is no surprise that the Democrats’ rhetoric is usually indistinguishable from that of the al-Qaedists, Ahmadinejad, and his Shiite proxies. The Democrats find themselves allied with totalitarians and followers of sharia —too stupid to realize that they are supporting anti-democratic ideological zealots.

Just like when they were servicing Chairman Mao and Uncle Ho.

And Fidel and Che.

Stalin, too.

The Moon will save the human race—

Were loonies beaten off their path—

The unthrown stone remains in place—

Through orbitary aftermath.

A blast unguarded —global fire—

Here’s thirty pieces, you fucking liars—

Now go and reckon what you did

When you did nothing but blame the Yid.

Thanks to the equally indispensable Charles Johnson, have a listen to our former ambassador to the United Nations (at this link at Little Green Footballs).

It is nine or so minutes of John Bolton utterly, unambiguously, and remorselessly kicking the ass of some neo-hippie BBC Radio reporter. Bolton is almost literary in his succinction.

You cannot miss this.
