Apologies to the Geto Boys

Damn, it feels good to be Obama
A real radical-ass with skills
Although I was born in Hawaii
Ended up in Chicago making deals
George Soros is my homeboy
And my government's making wheels
I get all my props from NBC
Send contracts to GE
Givin' all support to abortion
Babies don't vote for D's
Is it all about the women?
It's only sex to me
I used to work for ACORN
And they really helped me win
Marxism was finished
'Till I pulled it outta the dustbin
Now all I gotta say to you
Radical Islamic pranksters
Israel gets attacked- - nothin's what I'm gonna do
Damn, it feels good to be Obama

Immoral Moralist

Yesterday Oh Blah Blah said we should have government-run health care because Ted Kennedy thought it was a moral issue. Pardon me for looking to someone other than a drunken, lecherous abortion-monger for moral guidance.

My New Favorite Lyrics

You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
And you'll build and suppress

Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who is in control

Muse "Rule by Secrecy"

Making College Count, Part Two

"The whole trouble is that the American system from beginning to end is gauged to the run-of-mine American rather than to the picked American. The run-of-mine Frenchman does not get any nearer the University than the adjacent woodpile. He does not get into the equivalent of our undergraduate college. If he gets through the French equivalent of our secondary school, he does so by what our ancestors called the uncovenanted mercies of Providence, and every step of his progress is larded with bitter sweat. The chief reason why my Italian friend found no educated American under sixty years of age is that forty years ago the run-of-mine American did not, as a rule, get much nearer the founts of the higher learning than the run-of-mine Frenchman does to-day, and for the same reason- - he could not, speaking strictly, "make the grade." The newspapers some time ago quoted the president of Colombia as saying that durin the past half-century the changes in school and college instruction, as to both form and content, have been so complete that it is probably safe to say that to-day no student in Columbia College, and perhaps no professor on its faculty, could pass satisfactorily the examination-tests that were set for admission to Columbia College fifty years ago."
Albert J. Nock, 1937

Kristol Clear

"The enemy of liberal capitalism today is not so much socialism as nihilism. Only liberal capitalism doesn't see nihilism as an enemy, but rather as just another splendid business opportunity."

"The New Left, though it echoes this proposition when it is convenient for its purposes, is actually dedicated to the counterbelief- - which is the preliberal proposition- - that to be good is to be free. In the war between these two heresies, the idea of a free society that is in some specific sense virtuous (the older bourgeois ideal) and the ideal of a good community that is in some specific sense free (the older "socialist" ideal as represented, say, by European social democracy) are both emasculated; and the very possibility of a society that can be simeotaneously virtuous and free, i.e. that organically weds order to liberty, becomes ever more remote."

"The danger is rather that the large corporation will be thoroughly integrated into the public sector, and lose its private character altogether. The transformation of American capitalism that this would represent - - a radical departure from the quasi-bourgeois "mixed economy"to a system that could be fairly described as kind of "state capitalism"- - does constitute a huge potential threat to the individual liberties Americans have traditionally enjoyed."

All of the above are from Irving Kristol, and all are prophetic of what Obama is doing to America.

Good Job, People

The first actions of Oh Blah Blah seem to be aimed at furthering the pro-abortion agenda by forcing pro-life people to pay for abortions overseas. What's more, Oh Blah Blah supports the atrocious Freedom of Choice Act, which would foist abortion on Americans on a whole new scale. Reports also say that Obama wishes to force all doctors to perform abortions.

This is a message to all you Catholics who supported this man. The change you voted for has come. It is a change from moderately pro-life laws to ones that threaten life from conception to some unknown point after birth. (See my previous blog "When Does Life Begin?".) Why didn't you find out about this man before you struck a blow against the right of doctors not to perform abortions? Why didn't you care that he had a 100% rating from NARAL? How will you feel when the Church is forced to leave the field of healthcare in the same way that conscience has forced it to leave the adoption field? I hope you are all happy, because I'm not.

Does Life Begin at Birth?

The thing about Oh-Blah-Blah that scares me the most is his ambivalence about when human life begins. Estase believes that it starts at conception, but many abortion supporters consider birth as the start of a child's life. Oh-Blah-Blah claims ethicists (Peter Singer???) are undecided on when life begins. When is that point Barack? Is it two weeks after birth? Is it two months after birth? Is it when a child enters Kindergarten? This is really scary.

Making College Count

WHen Hillary Clinton claimed to be working for "hard-working Americans", Oh Blah Blah's camp claimed this was a racist code-word. (Which betrays a certain pessimism about African Americans and their work ethicc from Oh Blah Blah.) Tonight Michelle used the phrase herself to describe the people that Oh Blah Blah works for. Michelle never broached the issue of higher education, and why Oh Blah Blah thinks everyone deserves a Bachelor's Degree. What will it mean to have a college education in a world in which it has been dumbed down to the point where it means no more than a Hiigh School education does now. A better goal would be promoting young people studying math and science, leaving non-entities like gender studies and African American studies behind as a relic of the politically correct 90s.

Stupid Conservatives

Apparently, some conservatives are actually planning to vote for Oh-Blah-Blah. Obviously, these people missed watching him in action during a hearing about the Iraq War. On the panel were General Petraus and an official from the State Department. The man from the State Department mentioned that Iran is helping the insurgency with men and weapons. Oh-Blah-Blah said with alacrity "Don't you think you should tell the Iraqi government?" The idea of someone so stupid or so out of touch becoming president should scare any conservative, or intelligent liberal for that matter.

Monkey Business

A n Utah firm planned to introduce a sock monkey made to resemble Oh-Blah-Blah, raising a firestorm of anger over the racism of comparing Oh-Blah-Blah to a monkey. Ten years ago, I would have been angered by this, but I am not now. Over the past eight years, criticism of George W. Bush has been so ugly, so unfair, and so exaggerated that this seems almost what a Democratic candidate deserves. First Bush was called stupid. Then he became subhuman- - another blogger refers to him as The Smirking Chimp. After that, he became Bush The Retard. What's more, Bush has been called Hitler. WHy is it that liberals can call Bush whatever they like, but Oh-Blah-Blah is untouchable? If the Republican candidate were black, would it be OK to call him a monkey? Apparently.

No Birth, No Birthright

Barack Obama has stated that a college education is the birthright of every American. But how can you on one hand support unrestricted abortion on one hand, and then say that every baby has the right to higher education? Can you really say that before birth one has no rights, but upon birth you are owed your higher education?
