Nietzsche is said to have argued that Christianity was the Jews’ revenge on Imperial Rome. And there is a lot to be said for that: in the space of about three centuries, a religion based on the life, death, and resurrection of a troublemaking minority in a  distant province became, essentially, the creed of the world’s greatest empire. The last thing had now become first, just as the Gospels promise.

These are softly psychotic days of cultish confidence and stop-motion spectacles of diseased accretions upon the body politic. I do not know the nature of the plague of messianism; I would not have guessed a year ago that America would tolerate a man as steeped in racist gall and European socialism as this one, but I was wrong. America is cut out for the new totalitarianism. It does not flinch or fight, but waddles right up to the very idea itself like a dodo nuzzling the outstretched hand of a bemused Portuguese.

Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic Party’s revenge on the Union, my friends. Yeah, it’s true —even if the analogy falls apart. The party of secession, slavery, segregation, and now socialism has elevated a demagogue to dismantle this Republic and to reshape it into some alien and un-American outpost of welfare statism and of an even more wretched sort of Carterism. I simply did not know that we had sunk so low.

A woman I know sat me down today and explained at length that whatever happens next Tuesday will be God’s will; that God always chooses our leaders. I added that some must have been object lessons or negative examples, to which she agreed. I have known this woman for a dozen years, off and on, but this was one of the more intense explications of God’s will that I have yet heard from her. She is passionately an Obamaton, and I think there was a generous helping of motherly sadism in her performance, but what can we do sometimes but take pleasure in being agreeable?

I won’t say I fear for my country, but the cone of uncertainty for me is wider than before.

I just found myself watching a couple minutes of Anderson Cooper on CNN —and he’s simply appalling. Are he and his fellow Obama fluffers even capable of shame at this point? To routinely do everything one can to minimize Obama’s liabilities while simultaneously questioning anything to do with Sarah Palin or her boss is simply advocacy. Do you understand what that word means, hippies? It means that Cooper and Campbell Brown and the meretricious David Gergen and all the other wretched whores on Ted Turner’s old TV station are paid spokespeople for the Obama campaign. They speak out on his behalf while trying to tear down the Republicans. What’s the great scandal tonight? Palin’s and her daughters’ travel expenses? Their wardrobe and make-up budgets? Jesus Christ! Where’s a story about Obama’s support for infanticide? How about a story on his corrupt land deal with Rezko? What does Obama think of Biden’s warnings that we will be deliberately tested by our enemies because of Obama’s inexperience? How many different ways does the Unqualified Liar have of lying about his alliance with and sympathy for the notorious founder of ther Weather Underground, Bill Ayers? He’s lying about that —but nobody cares because the people who occupy the cable news-space are his fucking followers!

If John McCain wins this thing, the era of Big Media is done. That’s a definite KIA. Big Media may be done even if Obama wins because only then will the American public begin to see how many different lies these sorry bastards told us for the sake of their ideological messiah.

No more of your dishonorable nonsense, CNN. You’re done in my household.

I mean, like, holy shit, Joe (emphases mine):

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday [19 October 2008]. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Ha, ha! What?! Is this why Biden’s no longer available for “availabilities”? Because his foot is in a constant struggle to get into and out of his big mouth? What on Earth is this man trying to suggest? That Obama’s inexperience itself will invite intrigue against us? And that, no matter what his responses are, the nauseating liberal morans will be expected to keep their regrets to themselves?

“Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd. “We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy.“

Watch your wallets, my friends. Clean and Jerk are about to steal your sorry, bourgeois asses blind. No? What “systemic problems” is Biden referring to, do you suppose? Insufficient taxation of the dirty business-owning class? That pesky antipathy working people have against giving their money to chain-smoking daytime TV-watchers who are working on baby number whatever? 

You think wealth is the only thing that’s getting spread around here? The Great Society was so great that you just knew it had to have a sequel, so drop some trou and think of [England].

If John McCain would simply describe Barack Obama as a socialist, wouldn’t that almost compel a public discussion of what that word means? I don’t think some people know what’s involved. “Spreading the wealth around” may sound like a great idea to a teenager who’s working for minimum-wage, but to the 40 year-old businessperson who hired this kid to stock the shelves, it’s worrisome to consider that taxes and employee-related costs are going up. As they say, poor people never gave anybody a job —unless you count jobs created by the social necessity of cleaning up after these same people’s mistakes. At that sort of job creation, the social, intellectual, and economic underclasses excel.

The Obamatons are becoming ever more explicit in their grand schemes for the post-Republican, post-American paradise of Obama’s socialist state. They are beginning to bully and cheat in broad daylight. They are, like the terrorists they sympathize and associate with, becoming emboldened. And to what end? To disincentivize work? To undermine the bases of competition and self-worth? To suppress political dissent for the sake of the “common good”? Well, there’s one for you and nineteen for me. Think that’s fanciful? Did you ever think you would see the economic events of the past six weeks? Neither did I.

I’m sure that’s funny to some people I know, but I am utterly in earnest. The extent of the obvious contempt for their country the Democrats have shown by Barack Obama’s nomination is truly shocking to me —and I am ashamed of these people, though some be my friends and family.

I think it’s time for the goddamned “press” in this country to put two and two together and start asking some tough questions about the rampant voter fraud being committed by Barack Obama’s friends in ACORN. Do the major broadcast networks and papers not see a problem with what’s going on? There have been hundreds and then thousands of fraudulently registered non-voters found on the rolls in at least a half-dozen battleround states. When is goddamned Katie Couric going to cock her head like the curious dog she is and ask Barry Obamachrist about his extensive and long-term alliance with these fucking frauds? When he was a “community organizer,” he used to train these lying shake-down artists for God’s sake! When is that going to get a fraction of the attention from the kool-aid drinkers at the Assholiated Press that Governor Palin’s HR decisions get? Where are the packs of wolves running down the facts about Obama in Chicago? They’re not there. They’re off in fucking Alaska asking about how many bonfires Palin set at the Wasilla Public Library!

If the sacks of shit who call the tune on the front pages of the morning papers and on the evening news broadcasts ever decide to question why Barack Obama coordinates his campaign’s efforts with hard Left organizations like ACORN, we may yet be able to save our Republic from the creeping anti-Americanism of these Neo-communist liars. So, get to it! Put down your pom-poms and start asking some goddamned questions about this guy.

UPDATE: Go check out this and other amazing posts at Sweetness & Light. Obama’s totally lying about his work with ACORN.

If Obama’s judgement is so superior to that of his political opponents, then let him explain his judgement —on multiple occasions and over many years— in consorting with a domestic terrorist like Bill Ayers. Let him explain in detail his involvement with this anti-American bomb-maker who helped to make him the chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Let’s hear him talk about their work together on education. Obama can’t avoid the question of education, can he? Does he have any ideas from that time that he’d like to share with the rest of the class? He has some interest in charter schools, I hear —but only so long as they comport with his and Ayers’ Leftist agenda of socialist indoctrination. But what do the teachers’ unions think about charter schools? Avoiding them isn’t why Obama doesn’t reference his time on the CAC board with the anti-American asshole Ayers, though. It’s because he knows that talking about the CAC and the Woods Foundation gives the rest of us a reason to ask about Ayers.

Senator McCain, you can’t let another day go by without pounding on this unqualified liar. Tomorrow night, you need to ask Obama about his experience in education. Just ask him about that.

On the subject of this massive government bailout trying to snake its way through Congress, be sure to read this editorial in the Investor’s Business Daily:

Prior financial bailouts, or “rescues,” such as those involving savings and loan failures, and Chrysler, have over time actually made money for the government. It may be the case here as well, as assets bought by the government at bargain prices return to marketable values and are auctioned off.

One of the sticking points in resolving the crisis was a poison pill in the Dodd/Paulson compromise that would move 20% of profits from the bailout into the Housing Trust Fund, a slush fund for political action groups such as ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and the National Council of La Raza.

Barack Obama has long-standing and extensive ties to ACORN, which is an organization of corrupt “community activists” who shake down local authorities to extract public money for identity politicians —like Obama himself. Why don’t the asshole propagandists in Big Media who do so much to manipulate public knowledge and opinion ask Obama about his ties to ACORN? Is it because that would bring scrutiny to an organization thats members have been convicted of voter fraud in several states?

Obama cut his community organizer teeth with ACORN. As a young lawyer he represented the group in a suit against the state of Illinois, which was concerned that postcard registration and a new motor voter law might invite fraud. ACORN later invited Obama to train its staff in leadership seminars.

ACORN has a political arm that endorsed Barack Obama for president in February and has stepped up its registration efforts to help elect a future benefactor. The Obama campaign admits to failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called “Citizen Services Inc.” for “advance work.”

Under the guise of stabilizing the market and propping up these giant banks and insurers, the chickenshit Democrats are trying to make off with billions of dollars for their own benefit. The whole deal is sickening.

Those are the words of the Governor of Missouri Matt Blunt. They weren’t part of some heated exchange or some sort of mistake; they are in a press release issued by his office:

JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.”

What is it that Obama and his cultists are doing that would elicit such condemnation? Read on:

On Wednesday, Obama’s Missouri campaign announced U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill would lead a group of Democratic lawmakers, prosecutors and one sheriff “who will be proactive in letting voters in the Show-Me State know the truth in the face of the distortions by the McCain campaign,” according to a news release.

The group includes prosecutors from St. Louis, Dunklin, Lafayette, Cass, Clay, Ripley, Audrain and Jackson counties volunteering to be surrogates for Obama on their own time.

The Missouri Truth Squad will “respond quickly, forcefully, and aggressively when John McCain or his allies launch inaccurate claims or character attacks about Barack Obama, or when they distort Barack Obama’s record or plans.”

I can’t wait for these filthy vermin to wake up the morning after the election of President-elect John McCain and feel the shame down to their bones. Especially the inexcusable hack McCaskill. They’re so determined to foist the lying socialist gasbag Obama on our civilization for their own political benefit that they’ve lost all sense of proportion. To hell with them all.

It’s very interesting to see what a success Rachel Maddow has become on MSNBC in the past week or two. Maddow is a raving liberal lunatic, of course, but she is very smart, intellectually engaging, and quite attractive. Most importantly, she takes on people she disagrees with. Like, in person. That makes her absolutely superior to the anti-American quart of diarrhea Keith Olbermann, who is too much of a coward to engage his opponents face to face.

I wish Miss Maddow great success in showing those clowns how an informed Leftist Jewish lesbian can argue!
