Friday Videodrome continues: The Final Hamnation

By see-dubya  •  June 6, 2008 03:32 PM

What a loss to the blogosphere! And what a smack at Obama!

Mary Katharine Ham (who first guest blogged here with me way back in January 2007, while Michelle was in Iraq) is leaving for the DC Examiner, though, so I expect we’ll get to hear from her now and then.

Speaking of those SUV’s Obama hates, here’s a slightly finger-wagging article from CNN on people who (huff, roll eyes) still love them.

I’m among them, (er, not literally–I’m not quoted in the article or anything…) and I’m getting in my beloved ol’ hoopty for a trip to Shakytown now, where I shall meet a secret blogosphere connection known only as “Patterico“…. Y’all have a good weekend.

    Ham is leaving….sorry to see her go, but she’s definitely a good read, and easy on the eyes ;) Always do enjoy reading her townhall blog, along with Amanda Carpenter (an absolute beauty as well).

    Wishing her luck :)

    lgm,
    What in the “H-E-double hockey sticks” are you takling about??

    An inferiority complex is “the actual or percieved inferiority one feels towards others”. Sounds more like you than those you chastise. Apparently, you feel inferior to your party’s elitists and accept that it is thier place to tell you how to live your life and feel it’s OK for them not to live by those same standards because they are superior to you.

    It must really suck to be you.

    lgm – here is your elitism expanded and defined.
    Accept your hat as Lenin’s (‘useful idiot’.)

    The Dragon’s Teeth of the Left
    © 2008 C. R. Ellsworth

    There’s been a resurgence of the Imperial elitism or Royalism that was expunged by generations of revolution across the known world in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

    There is a reason the Tsars, Caliphs, Kings, Queens and Aristocracies were deposed and dethroned, some decapitated. Common men had had their fill of the elitists’ assumptions that the elitists were needed because we were subhuman and incapable of running our lives.

    This latest iteration of paternalistic, or let’s just say patronizing elitism is all the more disgusting because of the hidden ‘enlightened progressive despot’ factor that we had thought eliminated once George III and Napoleon’s Empires in the West had been reduced.

    Are we supposed to accept George Soros as the new ‘Sun King’? He’s right just because, well just because we’re not nuanced enough to understand the intricacies of our true needs. Or maybe it’s the Clinton’s that are the new Royals, sent to save ourselves from ourselves as we cling to our Churches and Guns in bitter reaction to their offered glorious future. No, that’s right, it’s B. Hussein Obama that is going to save us, but he’s not a Royal, he’s a Messiah. Maybe he can save the world. If he could just get his wife to shut.

    So far McCain doesn’t consider himself Royal, yet.

    Maybe the new King is in Europe and we never really did get away. Maybe it took them this long to contrive a plan to disassemble our Constitution. They are too close to success, or somebody is too close to disassembling our Constitution.

    They can’t seem to accept the idea that the US Revolution worked after great effort and the others failed. The French Revolution degenerated into terror and the Napoleonic wars, the strengthening of Russia as a precursor to their Bolshevik Revolution, which in my humble opinion didn’t work either. The Polish Revolt inspired by The American version was crushed and the country partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria. There’s more to a revolution than disposing of a despot or tyrant; it should be followed by an improvement in the condition of mankind, or at least in the condition of those seeking liberty.

    In short we are told everyday by these elitists, through the main stream media and most insidiuous, the indoctrination centers known as Public Schools and Universities, that we’ve had it wrong all along, that we were a mistake that needs to be rectified for the good of man. Too many ‘useful idiots’ in our own country have bought into this defeatist guilt trip and should not be rewarded with power over other citizens.

    I contend that due to the success of our American Revolution and the boldness and courage of our founders in crafting The Constitution, our contributions to mankind have far exceeded the contributions any group could have been expected to make in two centuries had the sequence of American Ascension to a world power not developed as it has.

    Our Constitution and these United States of America could have easily degenerated into two or three fractious confederations engulfed by any of the major forces of the last 200 years.

    Through luck and the faith of our Founders in their work we lasted long enough to be hardened and steeled by Civil War and seasoned by global conflict into, to borrow a phrase, ‘Mankind’s Last Best Hope’.

    Those that look on us as a mistake need to look closer at what their world would be like today if we hadn’t been around in the contentious years of the 20th Century. Do they really believe that they’d be living in a better world today? No doubt some would express that idea, but the delusions of this ‘Old Guard’ are at the root of this problem.

    someone sent me this e mail a few mins ago, i have no idea who the original author is but thought I would share it with you guys….

    I know everyone has a different opinion on the war and our current President. But, this makes a lot of sense, and I hope you will take 2 minutes and read it and give it some thought. I have never seen the “situation” expressed any better in words! Recently I was talking to a friend about the upcoming election and the candidates. As we ended our discussion he said “the only decision you have to make is who you want sitting in that seat in the White House when – not if -when we get hit again and millions of American lives are put at risk!”

    This is from : “You ain’t gonna like losing.” Author unknown.

    President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq . (Many countries were convinced that Iraq had WMD’s.)

    Bush’s mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not.

    Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people’s duty to back those leaders.

    Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not.

    And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the (Democrat) President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.

    Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort.
    Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort.

    Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining. (Women would trade rationing coupons and tokens to get what each needed.)

    You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our (Democrat) President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops’ morale. And a bunch even enlisted.

    And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our troops!

    Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies.

    A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being ‘tortured’ by being forced to wear women’s underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.

    There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets (looking only for pleasure).

    No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.

    It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the Land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices (and take some time).

    We are in great danger. The terrorists are Fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause… Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits. So… We either win it – or lose it – and you ain’t gonna like losing.

    America is not at war. (Unfortunately only) The military is at war. America is at the mall.

    ajmontana – That’s it. I posted somewhere around here that while watching movies made during that time many of the big stars made pitches to buy war bonds and pitch in wherever and however we could. Every time I see one of those I cry knowing that America no longer exists.

    I can’t begin to say how many people I know who still know nothing of any of the candidates or who they will vote for if at all. I understand and respect anyone who studies the candidates and decides to vote or not based on knowledge. But I can’t stomach anyone who doesn’t care enough to study or who refrains from voting because of sheer laziness or self absortion at the mall or watching Idol…

    People these days lead too cushy of lives and aren’t going to care until it may be too late. Then they’re going to snap awake and wonder what happened.

    It is the Elitists such as yourself to which we object lgm. Elitists such as Senator B. Hussein Obama’s Bitter statement and Hollywood types “if the American people are so stupid as to disagree with My Magnificent Opinions”.

    Maybe we do have an inferiority complex. We do know we are superior to Leftist and Elitists over the whole spectrum of lgm and friends, so that helps easy the Pain and Shame of our Inferiority Complex. But did you enjoy the MKH piece or not?

    Thanks for that ajmontana, it is a reminder of good things about America. I don’t think we should blindly follow a president, LBJ is a good example. He used our military for experiments and caused untold grief to a whole generation of people who didn’t realize a president would betray them so totally. Jimmy Carter is another example of who not to follow. IMO, he has become a traitor and needs to be treated as such.

    We don’t have to put our difference aside to be able to unite in pride of our country. But we need to find a middle ground and soon or we will be divided by outsiders who want what we take for granted and don’t care how they get it, or who want to kill us because we are free. Free to worship and live as we see fit.

    Who’s you people, LGM?

    If you think you are so much better than us, then LEAVE.

    An inferiority complex, you say?

    Who else besides you on here panders to Islam, defends al queidaand questions all the legitimate reporting done by see-Dubya and Mrs. Malkin telling us we should wait for the MSM to get a chance to spin it. When that doesn’t suffice, you have to come up with paragraphs or one-liners about McCain.

    I don’t when you’re going to learn, LGM, that this is a conservative blog.

    Personally, I just think you’re on here to try and outfox all the conservatives, so you can go brag about it to your liberal friends about how you showed them!

    Your motives for being on here are quite obvious, and despite your futile attempts to sound sophisticated, you are just another transparent liberal who’s probably too chicken to debate a republican in real life.

    I rest my case, especially since you’re too afraid to respond to me, and I’m an independent.
