MR,
I'm not quite sure what to make of this.
As you may or may not have noticed, my presence here at IBA has been, at best, sporadic over the past few weeks. One reason: I've been trying to do some reading, and this is one of the matters I've kept running across.
I followed some links and got this.
AOW . . .luv the juxtaposed summation at your link:
Given the opportunity, Republicans can once again tap a reservoir of resentment, some of it justified. For a generation, the white-collar liberals who now dominate the Democratic Party have shown a remarkable ability to dress up their own economic interests in the rhetoric of globalization and anti-racism while attacking the motives and assaulting the characters of Americans who are far less wealthy and privileged. They conveniently forget to pay taxes for their illegal-immigrant maids and nannies, and then they denounce fellow citizens who can’t afford servants as Nazi-like xenophobes for insisting that all immigrants, not just some, obey federal immigration laws. They use their status as alumni of elite universities to get their mediocre children admitted by means of legacy programs (class-based affirmative action), and then they blame racism when working-class and middle-class whites criticize race-based affirmative action. They benefit from a regulated national labor market that effectively restricts the number of lawyers, MBAs and teachers allowed to practice in the US, and then they altruistically offer to sacrifice the livelihoods of American factory workers to help out the Chinese poor and to put American farms out of business to help the African poor. They claim that by living in expensive doorman buildings in fashionable downtowns and using uneconomical, taxpayer-subsidized mass transit they are saving the planet from global warming, and then they criticize working-class Americans with a fraction of their incomes who can only afford to live in exurbs and shop at Sam’s Club as sprawl-creating slobs. And they nod their heads in agreement when the elite editorial pages tell them on a near-daily basis that the greatest threat to America’s future is not ruthlessly nationalistic Asian mercantilism or lawless hedge-fund operations, but the danger that Congress might respond to the frightening number of non-Ivy League graduates in the electorate by enacting Buy American or Hire American policies which might inconvenience IRA investments or make it harder to hire an au pair.
I'm going to keep that paragraph handy.
Now I'll go back to my coffee and finish reading. :d
HRW
HRW,
That link is very revealing, isn't it?
I should trek on over to the Daily Kos to see what they're yapping about.
Just made my big mug of coffee-will head over to MM...
BTW-the Gov of CA is putting his finger in the eye of the GOP in order to meet w/ the Dem Pres...I quickly wrote a poem last night - just for the LOTE giving GOP..w/link...
You all have a nice day now-ya hear :-)
C-CS
AoW -- Part of the problem (at least for me) in not knowing what to make of this is just wrapping your head around the whole issue.
We arguably have the most naive (I'll it ascribe evil intent right now) and hubris filled president's we've ever seen. And a Congress on an orgy of power.
This is not how America is supposed to work and the people kow it. Even those who voted for him are starting to see it, far too late.
Who'd have thought in our lifetimes we'd see this kind of growing cacophony of resentment agains the government as a whole? Sure, they hated Bush from the start for "stealing" the election. But that was different, that was personally hate & revenge driven.
This is the people calling out the gov't for over reaching. This is America ready to drive the spear in the ground and say Thus Far and No Farther.
Santelli's rant, 10th amendment resolutions, Chicago Tea Parties, Jim DeMint calling for street demonstrations (just put up a post on that). On and on.
Sure some of it is hate driven, but alot is America telling Obama and Congress you folks are way off course here. And we don't like where you're taking us.
But what to do with it? Pasto & I talked abut it a little, somewhere. We are not a parlimentary system where we can have a vote of No Confidence against Obama. But could a people's uprising lead to a coalition in Congress against Obama's policies? They are un-American and counter to the Constitution?
This is all very interesting, enprecedented and unnerving to say the least.
But good on The American People for saying Thus Far and No Farther.
But do we, as bloggers, especially counter-jihad bloggers, fit in?
To me it is all one and the same. I (& others) put these up here because, although they don't address Islam directly, everything Obama does will affect how we handle it, or how it handles us, going forward.
Those Crazy Jihadis are sitting there rubbing their grimy filthy paws saying Oh Boy look at what's going on let's let them soften themselves up a little longer.
