Original article: Obama's designated a--hole

Democrats should be very glad Rahm Emanuel is not a Republican.

I welcome his rise.

This of course causes cognitive dissonance in the self-hating Jews wing of the Democratic Party. "Rahmbo" is an observant Jew, and his parents were Israeli born. His affection for Israel is real and deep.

Although I find his political affinities somewhat mystifying, he is clearly an ace, and he helps me understand alpha Democrats. They are very smart and very successful. They honestly believe that they will remain comfortably on top. No matter how much collectivism and redistribution they engage in, they believe we will remain a meritocracy, and they believe they will remain on top of the heap.

Here is an extremely intelligent Jew who is not a neo conservative. I wonder if he and so many others have had the time and the patience to read and ponder the thoughts of Milton Friedman, Friedriech Hayek and Ronald Reagan. I wonder because neo conservatism is the logical extension of liberal thought.

People like this really love being in power, the ultimate rush. This raises many risks: Will they over reach? Will they become bullies? Will power remain so important that they sacrifice core values and beliefs?

Hayek warned of "a fatal conceit."

Each of us has a life to live and many choices to make. It is a very big challenge to turn back from a chosen path, even when that path leads to destruction and devastation.

Emanuel is very bright, but intelligence is not the same as wisdom. He has been wise and nimble enough to move from Clinton to Obama.

What will he do in the coming years? Will he have to make a stand and depart from his passionate certainties because history is not unfolding the way he thought it would be?

Will his decisions make our world better or worse?

Stalin.com is more like it, boyz and girlz! Stalinist Salooniks have won and they are so giddy, they have yet to notice that their world is dissolving.

Keep up the good wurk, braindead librals!

To know yuz is not to luv yus.

Arrogant ignoramuses will faint as their wealth continues to evaporate as Obabaland replaces America with a larger version of Cheekago Rules to run a nation.

Just you wait, gurlz and boyz!

The donkeys have taken over the zoo. The grown ups are leaving stage right.

Are you having lots and lots of fun yet?

Alfred E Neuman's of the world have united. "What me worry?" should be your credo.

Original article: Obama surfs through

It's all about style, Camille

With I guess a few reservations around the edges about who these friends of Barry O really are.

Is it chilling that close friends celebrate the murders of innocents, identified by twisted souls as enemy?

Is it chilling that, in spite of the kool, chic Michell, something goes horribly wrong whenever this woman opens her mouth?

I guess Camille was too busy to comment on Jeremiah Wright.

Where is MY trust fund?

Did she really say that?

Rebecca, please investigate this to your fullest.

OK?

Did anyone notice that the redistribution, the collectivism, the higher taxes on the most productive, and the trade wars Barry and Michelle are about to ignite have one historical result? --

We all become equally impoverished.

It's like trickle up poverty.

Or, trickle down poverty from the Harvard elite.

This is what markets have been telling you.

Did you wonder why Robert Rubin and Larry Sommers look like such sour pusses?

Hello!!!

Big Brother Barrack looks like Mister Peanut.

How long will it take to destroy America?

How can this be prevented?

Is Stalin dot com (salon.com) ready for the whirlwind?

Will Camille be one of the first to jump ship and try to prevent us from becoming Venezuela?

I have consulting with my psychiatrist:

He tells me libralz womenz hate Sara because she actually comes.

Secretary of State would be wunnerful:

She would really scare Putin. He'd immediately promise and keep his promise not to invade his neighbors anymore, especially when he is meeting with Hillary (who was named after the man who first conquered Everest, until it was discovered she was lying)

She would be the best person to outlaw blow jobs, as totally anti feminist.

The right to not have to give a blow job would be right up there with the right to have abortions.

There would be a worldwide campaign against blow jobs.

Any man expecting blow jobs from women would be ostracized.

There would be a world wide anti blow job campaign.

It will be hilarious.

Why isn't this like measuring coffins for dastardly Republicans who persist in thinking that government will never have all the answers?

What is this?

Shouldn't these dastardly Republicans be rounded up and sent to Cheekago where they can be taught a thing or two?

- how to have a murder rate much greater than Iraq's

- how to keep raising taxes like 10+% sales taxes, taxes taxes taxes

- how to pretend to have education reform and still have some of the highest drop our and illiteracy rates in the nation

- how to have an utterly corrupt government where going to jail for a while is just part of doin' bidness.

Hello, I am from the government, and I will take care of you.

Haw haw haw.

Do you understand why the leftoids hate Columbia so much?

Columbia go tired of having her judges shot. She got tired of Venezuelan financed narco-terrorism with all the murder and mayhem and kidnappings. They fought back and, yes, Bush helped them with supplies and inconspicuous advisors.

Columbia is a beautiful country full of lovely people sick and tired of bullshit, revolutionary rhetoric emanating from Marxist thugs.

But our left loves these guys just like they loved the Sandanistas in Nicaragua. Remember the "Pinyata Revolution" - Sandanistas grabbing homes and entire businesses for themselves? They even stole the great, rags to riches boxing champ's home. Remember Alexis Arguello?
