It seems some students were punished for wearing American flags to school on cinco de Mayo.
Yeah, the school officials that did this are America's Vichy Government. They've got to keep the conquered in line, don't they?
How would I like it if someone wore Mexican colors on the Fourth of July?
Well, let's put some thought into that question...
Um, you mean if I moved to Mexico in this hypothetical? And I walked around saying how much Mexico sucked and how the part of Mexico in which I am living should be returned to the US? I think if I were that big of an asshole, I may take offense. But the reality is is that I would be an asshole who deserved to get insulted by the patriotism of the country in which I chose to live. Get it? When you migrate, you should assimilate...that being what we used to call the "melting pot." You leave the Old Country and embrace the New Country.
Anyway, PCism runs amok. Our government seemingly exists to serve the large, potential voting pool of illegal immigrants rather than the people who are here and appreciate the place. There you go, we are now subjects of Vichy America.

I think the Old Testament is quite clear about that. The Bible might seem to be a strange place to be doing economic research, but I have been thinking, from a political economy point of view, about the Tenth Commandment. Now the first nine commandments concern theological principles--thou shall not steal and kill and so forth. Fair enough. Then there's the Tenth Commandment: "Thou shall not covet they neighbor's wife. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's." I mean, here are God's basic rules for how we should live, a very brief list of sacred obligations and solemn moral precepts, and right at the end of it is: "Don't envy your buddy his cow." What is that doing there? Why would God, with just 10 things to tell Moses, choose jealousy about the stuff the guy next door has? Well, think about how important to the well-being of a community that commandment actually is. What that commandment says is that if you want a donkey, if you want a pot roast, if you want a cleaning lady, don't bitch about it, go get your own!
The Tenth Commandment sends a message to socialists, to collectivists, to people who believe that wealth is best obtained by redistribution, and that message is clear and concise: Go to hell! It's as simple as that.

CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.
RUSH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER: The phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldier and they're proud to serve, they want to be over in Iraq, they understand their sacrifice and they're willing to sacrifice for the country.
RUSH: They joined to be in Iraq.

Ok, so let's just start off with this. Thanks a lot, 52 percenters. I mean, fuck the 52 percent who elected the reader of the teleprompter of the formerly free world. But double fuck the McCain primary voters who gave us the asshole who gave up the election to Obama because that's just the kind of Maverick he is.
IBD summarizes what 2 years of Unicorn Farts have done to the economy, along with 4 years of democrat control of Congress.
"TARP Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky told Congress that "nearly 20 preliminary and full criminal investigations" were under way. By June, Barofsky was estimating the total cost of U.S. bailout and stimulus efforts at as much as $23.7 trillion — an astounding sum to pay for regulatory incompetence."
To steal from PJ O'Rourke, What the fuck? What the fucking fuck? I mean really? $23 Trillion? To bail out what? I said it in October 2008, we should let everything break and pick up the pieces. Bailing things out only reinforces the underlying problems. Bankruptcy clears the forest, so to speak. But now we’re on the hook for twice the gross national product.
And now, America is looking down the barrel of even more. WPE is now pimping market reform. And pondering a VAT.
What economist does this guy listen to? Oh right, Che Guevara and Alinsky.
This is scary stuff. With the mindless, robotic help of Congress, Obama is succeeding in pouring concrete into the metaphoric economic gears of the country. High taxes will kill growth. Regulation will kill investment. So what will be left? 300 million people with what?
Leftists seem to assume that America can be the America we know and love, powerful and wealthy and safe without any of the real world stuff that got us our wealth, power, and safety. That is, they think we can eliminate risk (and therefore entrepreneurship etc.) without eliminating prosperity. That we can tax the fuck out of everything without everything disappearing.
People on the right like to talk about Cloward-Piven but this economic strategy is more than that. It's basically an obliteration of an economy. If this isn't done on purpose, these actions have got to be the biggest accident ever. Can Pelosi, Obama, and Reid just accidentally do the wrong thing at every possible moment?
So yeah, what a pisser. It feels like the communists have won. What to do? I mean, I don’t want to live through the next Great Depression.
And president-shit-for-brains pulls this one out. “Obama has claimed his middle class tax pledge only applied to income taxes rather than “any form of taxes”.Right…Promises promises. We can't impeach this guy fast enough.

And remember, we spent a trillion dollars to do this:

"Liberal or conservative, I think we can all agree what this country doesn't need is more hate groups."
Uh huh, get it? Now, the left cares about hate. Well, obviously, this is a media construct to obfuscate that the DNC rammed through a shitty bill that was signed by their shitty president and now hoi polloi are upset.
But fine...
Why not get the libs to clean up their hate groups. We can ask why Eric Holder dropped the convictions of those black panther members who harassed voters in Philly. We can stop ACORN from "reclaiming" foreclosed houses in Baltimore. We can have the president stop sending SEIU union thugs to houses of CEO's to intimidate them into accepting his policies. We can start prosecuting environmentalist whackos who bomb labs, spike trees, assault people who wear fur, and destroy cars and houses. Also, how about actually punishing all those WTO and World Bank and IMF protesters when they smash windows and burn cars?
Second, we can ask the media to actually report on these things instead of trying to smear the ordinary Americans in Tea Parties as racists or by calling them wink-wink-nudge-nudge tea baggers.
So, if a Democrat legislator is going to lie and say a coffin was left on his yard when in reality it was prop in a prayer vigil, the media should call him on his false statements.
If a video shows that an alleged racial spitting incident was a case of accidental "say it, don't spray it," and a black congressman who habitually calls his opponents racist falsely says he heard racial slurs, then surely the media should call him on that.
But, no, there's an agenda and I guess the dying Wash Post and CNN's of the world will continue playing out these lies in service of the administration.
But I have the trump card.
Prop 8.
The response thereto was truly hateful. Donors being tracked down and attacked. Oh, and get this, the blacks voted for it 70-30. That led to some interesting events...
"It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks," wrote the commenter."
So, noble lefty. Please compare and contrast. Gays calling people the N-word for the way the voted versus voters picketing their representatives for the way they voted. Even if the left-wing fantasy of tea party "hate" took place, explain. For the members of the reality based community willing to come out into the sunlight, explain the real-world difference (i.e., no tea party racism/violence/etc.).
