Obama’s imitation of Stokely Carmichael on the mic is amazingly annoying. It’s almost like this cosmopolitan fop and fraud chose to use a particular tonality and oratorical style that he believed best conveyed the authentic voice of Black America. But all he has succeeded in creating, as I see it, is a phoney-baloney Southern accent (not a “Negro dialect” as the uneducated buffoon Harry Reid put it) that marks him for the calculated identity politician and race-user that he is.
Obama is unqualified to be President (despite the fact that he meets all the Constitutional requirements) because he has only a tin ear for what America is. He knows it as an alien latecomer, all studied and accounted for from afar and from within the context of Marxist ideology, which he was steeped in from childhood on. It is that part of his background that matters even more than his apostatic Muslimness.

At a typically self-serving campaign appearance in Milwaukee yesterday, the President of the United States whined to an audience of the usual moved stools that Republicans were talking about him “like a dog” –and then added that such a characterization was “not in my prepared remarks.”
It is embarrassing to find that the leader of my country is such a needy egomaniac that he even seeks credit for the merest sort of banalities to come out of his piehole because they are extemporaneous. Pathetic.
Barack Hussein Obama is a thin-skinned liar who doesn’t understand people who don’t buy his narcissistic garbage.
I am eager for the Great Comeuppance.

Even as far back as the days when the Democratic elites held legal title on human beings as their personal property, they’ve always believed in profiting from the labors of others. Has anything changed in the last 145 years? No. Democratic bosses and their lackeys still believe in the principles of paternalism, dynasticism, and “labor management,” generally. They are identity politicians first and last —always ready to steal or cheat to keep their power.
These days, of course, Americans are not born to the condition of slavery, but the adherence of some to the Democratic Party certainly qualifies as a congenital defect that shares certain aspects of that condition. Yet, even this can be ameliorated and overcome through embracing intellectual honesty and admitting that this country has been ill-served by the current Administration of Marxist thugs and post-American liars.
That’s right: I think it’s time for Democrats to apologize to Americans for what they have done to this country.

And I can’t find any comment from notorious anti-car tosser and alleged economist Duncan Black, the Philadelphia-based apologist for Paul Krugman, regarding this absurdity.
What’s up with that? I mean, Black’s blog is obviously a money-maker, so is he going to be, as Joe Biden says, patriotic —or is he gonna fight the power?

I will not defend Islam in any way, so let me be frank (or maybe a Frank) about that from the start. Religious tolerance is an illusion of interpersonal diplomacy assented to by most and realized —in fact— by few. Leftists perceive of themselves as superior to ”Christianists” by virtue of their supposedly scientific convictions (e.g., certitude in the truth of Evolution but, then again, of anthropogenic global warming, too) and by virtue of a sounder grasp of the separation of church and state. But Leftists do not believe in religious tolerance any more than I do. They believe that the Constitution grants them a right from religion when it actually grants them the right of religion. As an atheist in the conventional sense, observing that distinction is what allows me to live as I do. But, insofar as these Leftists and their pseudo-liberal followers are Marxist at all, they can certainly have no genuine respect for the magic shows of the religious Right or the Catholic church. After all, those are the refuges of racist gun-owners and Bible-readers, not of the right-thinking “reality-based community” (as they used to refer to themselves, now with extra irony).
Anyway, when fools like Michael Bloomberg stand and declaim upon the moral superiority of allowing a goddamned mosque complex to be built a mere stroll away from the site of the atrocities of 11 September 2001 as the highest order of religious tolerance, it makes me wonder whether such moral exhibitionism is easier with the tacit but certain knowledge that the godforsaken thing will never be built.
No, it isn’t religious tolerance to allow an insult and then to pretend that it was never inflicted. One thing that Westerners need to know about the Muslim mind is that it turns on the spit of the provocative gesture. As an old friend once remarked, the capital of capitalism had its two front teeth knocked out —right down the street from where this thing is supposed to be planted. The attacks of 11 September 2001 were, in themselves, a deeply humiliating and destructive gesture of contempt and provocation. What self-respecting people would permit a second such gesture at such proximity to the first? It isn’t defensible as religious tolerance but explicable only as the rankest sort of self-hatred. Bloomberg and the other useful idiots of the Ummah need to shut up and sit down.

Sorry that this blog sucks. I am becoming indifferent to it.

Jesus, could I be any happier? I’m almost nauseatingly at peace with the world.
For instance, I’m out driving around a while ago —completely oblivious to the carbon bigfootprint I was putting down— and I spot these two cats moving down the sidewalk in some sort of fraternally-cocksure gait. It’s a pair of very young black men —eleven or twelve, tops— wearing their white cotton wifebeaters and sporting some sort of overlong shorts or trunks. And they’re wearing them in a dignified manner —even pulled up to their waists! (Their kicks I don’t know from; I wasn’t paying attention.)
So, I’m idling there at the light with some early James Brown funk going on and watching these guys —and just beaming. And I’m thinking of all the afternoons of my own youth spent with my friends and of us wearing the appropriate uniforms of our day when we, too, would walk the streets like we owned them. And I’m thinking and hoping for these young men that they live long and prosper and realize the privilege that comes to men of my age to see the world anew in every moment lived with charity in one’s heart.

Earlier this evening, I tried to learn from his fanatic followers what good reason Obama has for his weak and insipid statements on the unrest in Iran —but no one could come up with anything. Well, actually, one guy brought up Mossadegh and 1953, but that chapter in Iranian history is vastly less relevant than anti-American goatee-strokers wish it to be. Iranians don’t care what the CIA did there in the 1950s, but they do care about what can be done now with 1979, which is where their country has been mouldering away for too long.
It’s quite clear that Obama’s fantasy of getting elected President (formerly also known as the Leader of the Free World) never included any thoughts of actually standing up for the universal rights of liberty and self-rule. There was a time, of course, when such ideals were as natural with Democrats as anything else identifiably American, but that’s all been traded in now. And for what? Miserable lives as totalitarian groupies, apparently. The idiots now calling themselves Democrats or “progressives” are as indifferent to the fate of free peoples elsewhere in the world as any isolationist here ever was. They are as much a disgrace as their lord and savior —content with voting present on one of the great potential movements of this decade.
Oh —and is there anything my racism can’t explain? Never! Any criticism of the growing Socialism in this country or anger at the systematic dismantling of our strategic strength in the world is simply rebutted by cries of racism. I don’t know how much longer these mindless drones can keep that particular charge going, but it’s sure to be a laugh to see them use it one time too many, but time and time again.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed the hell out of David Letterman. He had a huge influence on mine and my brothers’ senses of humor.
But I stopped watching him a very long time ago because he turned into a miserable prick who enjoys hurting people’s feelings and humiliating them. I even remember the moment I vowed to stop watching him. One night —maybe 15 years ago?— he had on an old gentleman farmer who had brought a collection of vegetables he had grown that resembled famous faces. A potentially cute little segment that Letterman turned into a vicious attack on this old man’s dignity. Dolly Parton was a guest and I believe she even remained for that part of the program. I very much doubt the grand dame of Sevier County, Tennessee appreciated Letterman’s assholishness, although I don’t remember her reaction for a fact. (Maybe I should write her and ask if she recalls that night. I’ve seen her on a lot of programs lately and she’s as charming as ever.)
Anyway, this joke Letterman made about what is essentially the rape of Sarah Palin’s 14 year-old daughter the other night was stupid, mean, and unfunny. He should be a man and make a full and unambiguous apology. But no one is going to make him because he has bought the good opinion of asshole liberals everywhere with his gratuituous swipes at Republicans. He’s insulated against criticism because of his politics. That’s a bad thing for our culture and for women, in case you were wondering.
(Yeah, I know I’ve written this same post before, but Letterman’s a jerk who deserves for his mistreatment of that old man to be remembered forever. And now he can be remembered as someone who likes to make cracks about young girls being raped.)

I woke up this morning with a song in my head that I believe I heard for the first and only time about a week ago. It was from My Morning Jacket’s appearance on Austin City Limits, which is thankfully still in my DVR.
Anyway, I think that “Librarian” is a stunningly beautiful song. The lyrics are rich and wistful and the steel guitar is reminiscent of Dylan’s “Lay, Lady, Lay.” In fact, this song is that song’s precocious but dutiful lovechild.
What beautiful harmonies to awaken to. Thank you, gentlemen.
