. . and . .

Today:

Conservative bloggers, to the rescue! Ann Althouse:

The members of Congress have a lot of power, and they ought to have to hear the anger their exercise of that power is causing. It’s outrageous for them to pose as victims without very good cause. So what if some idiot said a bad word? That’s a trivial distraction compared to the power they are about to exercise in the face of such strong opposition to what they are about to do.

So what if they spat on you and called you “n*gger”? Christ, you’re about to provide millions of Americans with healthcare — have you no decency, sir?

Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs:

Big media only deemed fit to cover the people’s revolution to smear, libel and sexually smear them (”tea baggers”).

This campaign of destruction culminated yesterday when a specious charge was made that a protester shouted “ni**er” at the Congressional Black Caucus. Color me skeptical. I am not sure why the Black Congressional Caucus deliberately chose to walk through the crowd as they shouted “killl the bill,” but it sure sounds like a set-up.

Yeah — just what were the Black Congressional Caucus thinking, walking through the Tea Partiers? They know damn well that they’re Black. I smell a rat.

Without Firing a Shot?
by David Limbaugh

During the height of the Cold War, some feared the communists would take over the United States without firing a shot. Could it be that nearly a half-century later, we’re on the verge of that becoming a reality? . .

As long as it served Obama’s Machiavellian purposes to maintain a semblance of unity for his ambitious agenda, he donned his bipartisan cap. But as soon as he encountered intractable opposition from Republicans, God bless them, he began to show his true political colors . .

SO BIZARRE, his tossing off the “bipartisan cap” after running headlong into “intractable opposition from Republicans.”

Better Presidents, especially Republicans, never behave so unpredictably.

The Greatest Republican of them all, Abraham Lincoln, for instance, was the exact opposite. This is straight out of ‘D00d’s American Guide To Total History’:

South Carolina was like . . “Dude — you got elected?! Tssh, we’re outta here.”

And, so, Abraham was like . . “Aww, man, don’t go.”

And South Carolina was like . . “Ballz. We are gone.”

And, so, Abraham was like . . “C’mon, man, please stay.”

And South Carolina was like . . “Yeh, I don’t think so. It’s war.”

And, so, Abraham was like . . “Awww maan.”

And right there, hammer-struck with intractable opposition, he cleverly gave in, thankfully preserving a genocide The Negroes still call “slavery” the end.

..that’s better.

Washington chaos portends Obama’s vision for America
By Chris Adamo

As the nationalized “Healthcare” debacle nears its end game, the people of America are increasingly shocked and disgusted by the raw ugliness of the Obama “governing” philosophy. Those platitudes of “hope and change” are gone, and in their place a thoroughly regretful American populace now witnesses, to its horror, the total desecration of this once triumphal constitutional republic.

Okay — Bob? You go piss in the Mississippi river.

Jerry? You graffiti the Grand Canyon. With, you know, something like . . a Jane Fonda Jesus. Or, like, dude hanging from the cross with a weird boner.

Brian, you relocate the apse by extending the Badlands a thousand miles in every direction.

Keith, you throw stones at the stained glass. What? Behind Mount Rushmore. Idiot.

And Rick — you turn the wheel at the Boulder Dam. That’ll kill the internet, and then the pipe organ won’t work.

Tee hee.

USA only a few days away from totalitarianism
By Sher Zieve

The vote that will essentially end our country is scheduled for Sunday — the Christian Sabbath. On this day the Marxist Democrats plan to forever wrest control of the USA from God and place it in their own crooked hands.

. . MINE! YES!! Evvvveeerrrrrrythhhhiiiinnnnnngg MINE!!

Here are my demands:

1.) You’ll be loving me with all your heart.
2.) I’ll be eating all your sheep. Please have them shorn by dinner. Oh, and some of that mint jelly would be nice, whatever you got, just leave it in Nevada. I’ll pick it right up after I stuff my pockets with gaudy casinos and funny buildings.

. . oh, and . . *ahem*. . IF YOU DON’T DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO, I’LL GRIND YOUR BONES TO MAKE BOLOGNA BOATS.

. . not really — sshhh — you know the story . .

The nothing-thumpers
By Dan Popp

“By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes.”
— Shakespeare (Macbeth)

I saw something disturbing today. It’s a short video designed for the web. It uses no spoken language, just graphics and pulsating music . .

Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump . .

Unfortunate that Professor Norris never noted a more obvious and successful attempt at “whitewashing“, by that same heroic State Board:

Numerous attempts to add the names or references to important Hispanics throughout history also were denied, inducing one amendment that would specify that Tejanos died at the Alamo alongside Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. Another amendment deleted a requirement that sociology students “explain how institutional racism is evident in American society.”

Somehow, Chuck missed the racial low-lights. Perhaps he was busy kicking a copy of “Watership Down” at the library. ( . . the ‘good’ rabbits, they’re also individualists throwing off the chains of traditional martial authoritarianism? what?)

The oblivious remains of Norris’ two-dimensional crap qualify as a classic example of wingnuts projecting to cover their snail tracks. To wit: when you’re a bug-eyed revisionist, everybody else is bug-eyed and revisionist. When you’re a whitewasher, the liberals are whitewashing everything, god dammit. When you’re trying to reinvent history to deify your dirty faith, how can liberals justify their attacks on religious freedom?

“Religion,” [Mary Helen] Berlanga said. “Everything was about Religion. There was one [amendment] that said Battle of San Jacinto gave religious freedom. And one lady in the audience came up to me later and said ‘religious freedom? That’s when the Texas Rangers began hanging the Hispanics.”

Berlanga just bailed.

“I’ve had it. This is it. I’m leaving for the evening,” Berlanga said. “The board is pretending this is white America, Hispanics don’t exist. I’ve never seen a rewrite like this. This is a step backwards.”

(Berlanga left in response to a claim by Leo that stereotyping is “sometimes it’s a positive thing.”)

The Great American School Board’s positive view of racism went unrecognized by Chuck, too. In that case, he was returning the remains of Richard Adams’ cryptic warren manifesto when a corner of the (typical Marxist) Reference Desk bolted across some amount of carpet and fanged his knee. And the Desk received a complete crap-kicking. Still intellectually engaged, Norris also proceeded to head-butt some potted plants who, typical of bullies challenged, offered little resistance.

Ah, but he remembers he thinks this much:

He offers that the radical revision is due to “preservationists”? That would be more of the same violent spin. To the pretend Ranger detective, the following would be the opposite of someone “modifying textbooks to fit their ideological whims”:

Last Thursday, a discussion arose over how to describe the United States’ economy:

Scholars on the curriculum teams had argued that “capitalism” and “free market” are commonly used terms in economics courses and everyday discourse…

Terri Leo (R- Spring): “I do think words mean things. . . . I see no reason, frankly, to compromise with liberal professors from academia.” . .

After the discussion, the board voted to strike all instances of “capitalism” from the state’s curriculum.

Get that? Because the word “capitalism” carries with it a belly-full of leftist hooey, apparently. So, imagine now their supposed historical book of reference for all of American History that contains no mention of “capitalism.” Imagine going to the index and running your finger down the “C” page to find nothing between capita, per and capitals. I can’t imagine it. Has there ever been an American History schoolbook like this ‘traditional’ Texas one? I don’t imagine that either.

I guess it’s time to finally write the first American History textbook ever, just now. Well, hey, thank you throwback “guardians . . of tradition”. And thank Texas that someone is finally protecting the kids from all that para-educational mumbo jumbo. Because I also can’t imagine what sort of country we’d end up living in should we tolerate the political whimsy inherent in the mention of a post-modern bomb-throwing Deist like Thomas Jefferson:

The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum, “replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin.”

Double clutch — what?

Texas School Board Votes to Remove Thomas Jefferson from Curriculum

From the Texas Freedom Network, live blogging the deliberations of the Texas Board of Education: . .

“9:40 – We’re just picking ourselves up off the floor. The board’s far-right faction has spent months now proclaiming the importance of emphasizing America’s exceptionalism in social studies classrooms. But today they voted to remove one of the greatest of America’s Founders, Thomas Jefferson, from a standard about the influence of great political philosophers on political revolutions from 1750 to today.”

Uhhh, what the hell did perhaps the most influential Founding Father of all time ever do that the “preservationists” would want to take note of? Other than, like, the Declaration of Independence and a jillion other landmark uber-American things? Never mind that virtually every other modern western country’s history books will speak, glowingly, of Thomas Jefferson, phooey that. It’s the christianist Texans who’ve finally got an iron grasp of what’s really American and Historic.

All of which which brings us back to Chuck. His iron grasp has just splintered a computer stand that wandered too near the street-punk flora for his liking, but he’s fine, he’s okay.

He remains winded but unbowed by the insults of bruising or crippling stupidity that humble lesser men. He feels that strong Conservatives, like him, must continue to fight against the universal and conspiratorial forces biting at their metaphorical, or literal, American knees. Slashing at them: the always modern-fangled teeth of defiant, atheistic, political liberal humanists. Chuck’s message, a classic, he’d like you to take to heart: ‘Bite Back.’

Get involved in local, state and national politics, and make your voice heard. The time for passivity is over. As Thomas Jefferson once said, “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”

HEH, oops. That would be in the Calvinist sense, of course.

Have a terrific St. Patty’s, it’s going to be a good day.

Obama like a bad date
By Jen Shroder

So President Obama has extended the health bill deadline yet AGAIN. What part of “no” does he not understand?

Hellooo, Jen. Ahhhhh yeahh, girl.

We keep rejecting him but he ignores our protests. His nudges have progressed into shoves as America is crowded like a cheap date into the backseat of his Pontiac.

O.G. pull and shoot MY LADY. Naw trubbles, naw wurries bitch. Good pussy Majority Party time for my clench-butt Farveh, uh . . Ferah, Favrah . . FARRAH. HAA. Helllooo teensy tight-ass Farrah from whevrah.

What’s that, Mah-Damm? Hmm — say what? OH yeah, that’s a promise. You just dig your heels in, ‘cuz once the rodeo begins, I will snap some real whiplash earthquake shit off. I will buck your quivering, naked tectonic ass-plate all night.

Like a cad who refuses to take “no” for an answer, Obama assures us over and over that he has the answer to all of our questions but doesn’t want to tell us what it is until after he’s had his way.

WHUT? . . AWWWWW. Shit, I, psshhh . . c’mon . . .

Most men this persistent get their faces slapped, but I doubt the Secret Service would understand.

WHA, WHY . . you . . . ?

. . okay, look — know what? Yeeaaahhh, YEAH, I know. You’re right, it’s my own fault.

I dig your independence, girl, keep my number.

Obama Evokes Fear, Calls for Courage
by Debra J. Saunders

As a candidate for president, Sen. Barack Obama rejected “the politics of fear.” Well, he won. So now he’s playing the fear card to the hilt.

He’s been taking the fear card from his scabbard and burying it in your back? Bastard. He produced a deck of playing cards and told you to pick a sword, any sword? “The jack of excaliburs, sir — was this it?”

He does he do that? It’s a mystery.

Monday, President Obama went to Strongsville, Ohio, to warn that unless his ObamaCare passes, middle Americans should be very afraid of the day when they (Fear No. 1) lose their job or income, then (Fear No. 2) fall seriously ill and then (Fear No. 3) receive the health care they need, but lose valued assets.

Obama’s intended prop was Natoma Canfield, a 50-year-old cleaning woman and cancer survivor who dropped her private health care policy after Anthem Blue Cross raised her premiums some 40 percent to $708 per month. In December, Canfield wrote to Obama telling him that she was going to drop her insurance rather than lose the home her parents built in 1958. Alas, Canfield could not attend, as she since was diagnosed with leukemia and was in the hospital Monday . .

YIKES.

The fear is not that if you are sick that you will be denied health care. Canfield is in a hospital, and according to Obama, “She expects to face a month or more of aggressive chemotherapy.”

And the fear is not irrational — as everyone knows that worst trifecta could befall many working Americans through no fault of their own.

. . hullo? Hellllloooooooo?

Premiums will go up if insurers have to cover more sick people. Costs will go up if the government subsidizes more Americans . .

And Americans are supposed to trust this bunch to curb costs? Buy me a T-shirt and call me stupid.

Fine. You’re welcome.
