If there is one thing Progressives know how to do it is evolve. And while political expediency serves as the primary impetus for this relentless march forward, the process can be expedited when people have no immutable principals.
“FORWARD?” – WTF, why not?
All of which explains Big Guy’s evolution on gay marriage at just the right time.
And Hillary…well, she’s been evolving for a long time now too:
And now, NEO-NEOCON has uncovered the ultimate Obama evolution. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag,
butt let me just say it will allow Barry to circumvent the 22nd Amendment in a rather creative way:
In the six-plus years it has been my privilege to serve as your president, I’ve learned a lot and experienced a lot. You might say I’ve evolved. I’m older, wiser, more tested. As the historic first black president, I’ve been a trailblazer and a beacon to the African-American community and all of America, and I’ve been proud of that. In fact, you might say that it’s the first time in my adult life I’ve been proud of my country.
I know that there are other “firsts” that lie ahead for America, and I want to be part of them. I’ve done a lot of thinking about my next move, and I have decided that as part of my continuing evolution it is time for me to transition…(read the rest here)
Transist we much!
Evolution, it’s a wonderful thing. Because, FORWARD!
Butt let’s face it: natural selection sure ain’t what it used to be.
Anyway, you may now place your bets at window 6 for which church you think el familia Obama will grace with their attendance tomorrow. You may also place bets at the same window on which golf course you think will be honored with the traditional Easter golf outing.
Although there’s still some disagreement regarding the final terms it looks like we’ve struck a tentative deal with the “Death to America” crowd. We had to employ our “by hook or by crook” tactics butt it paid off; there’s no longer a question where our sympathies lie.
Sympathy For the Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul and faith
Which led Prime Minister Netanyahu to warn that “it would increase the risks of nuclear proliferation and the risks of a horrific war.”
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game
I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
I don’t know how else to explain a deal that puts nukes in the hands of your arch-enemy for use against your former ally. Do you?
It’s hard to fathom what evil spurred the “Arab Spring.” Better we should spend our time reflecting on the Christian Good Friday and the Jewish Passover today.
The notable thing about Culture War 4.0 is its consistent rejection of tolerance in favor of government enforced morality. Remember your Muad’Dib: “When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.” - Ben Domenech, The Federalist
Ed Driscoll succinctly summarizes the emergence of the new liberal fascism in his recent post, and provides an example:
REID: I don’t regret that at all. The Koch brothers — no one would help me. They were afraid the Koch brothers would go after them. So I did it on my own.
BASH: So no regrets about Mitt Romney, about the Koch Brothers. Some people have even called it McCarthyite.
REID: Well… [shrug] … they can call it whatever they want. Um … Romney didn’t win, did he?
And there it is, in a nutshell – the difference between conservatism and progressive liberalism:
Conservative icon:
Barry Goldwater: I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!
“I’ll take “crook” for $200 million and the the American Presidency, Alex.”
Since there’s no news from the “Nukes for Kooks” talks, let’s get caught up on some old news.
You remember Harry Reid, the ex-Senate leader who built the $621 million Capital Visitor Center in order to keep the smelly tourists away from his sensitive nose(that somebody apparently decided needed the snot knocked out of it). Well, he finally admitted that his 2012 Senate floor accusation about Mitt Romney not paying taxes for 10 years was a lie, he knew it was a lie and he just did it to prevent him from beating Big Guy. Because winning – “by hook or by crook”- is the new Progressive political standard for truthiness.
Harry Reid Justifies Lying About Romney from Senate Floor: 'He Didn't Win, Did He?'
I’m sure you’ve heard about the Amish Mafia, haven’t you? Well after Harry’s confession that he lied about fellow Mormon, Mitt Romney, I have developed a new theory on how Harry got the snot knocked out of him on New Year’s Day. I think it was the Mormon Mafia – oh sure, it’s areal thing…I think. Although we all know Mormons are as a rule very, very nice people given to proselytizing.
Let’s face it, everyone needs enforcers.
When the church elders confirmed that MINO (Mormon-in-name-only) Harry Reid was the one behind the orchestrated rub out of Mitt by feeding the MSM’s frenzy with a passel of lies, the hit was ordered. He’s lucky it was the Mormon Mafia; all he lost was an eye. Had it been the Mafia Mafia, well, let’s just say dead men tell no lies.
Dr.Melfi: “What line of work are you in?”
Tony Soprano: “Waste management consultant.”
What a coincidence: Harry is in waste management too, along with the rest of the current band of liars, pimps and thieves in the ruling class.
And sure I find it a little unnerving that the Saudis and Egyptians are forming a joint Arab army to fight WWIII against – oh, I don’t know…us, maybe? And yes, I realize it may all depend on the outcome of Jean Carré’s performance in Lausanne. Still, although I fully realize the “gravitas” of the situation, I remain more fascinated with his Tour de France than his tour de force:
Our Secretary of State cycling the streets of Lausanne in his lycra bicycle pants
As Allah is my witness, unless I force myself to look very closely, all I see in that image is Syndrome – from The Incredibles.
Uncanny isn’t it? Mr. Carré is a spitting image of Buddy Pine, aka, Syndrome, fraudulent superhero.
If you haven’t seen The Incredibles, and you should, you may not be familiar with the Buddy/Syndrome character. Buddy wanted to be a superhero from the time he was young, butt since he had no superpowers he grew up to become the superheroes’ nemesis instead.
This is because I don't have powers, isn't it? Well, not every superhero has powers, you know. You *can* be super without them. - Buddy/Snydrome
Buddy decides that if he can’t be a superhero, he will destroy all the superheroes instead:
Syndrome: “Turns out there are lots of people, whole countries, that want respect, and will pay through the nose to get it.How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons, and now I have a weapon that only I can defeat...”
You really should see the movie: unlike the little anti-morality play currently being performed in Lausanne:
Jean Carré and his league of non-superheroes, at the negotiation table
Syndrome: “Oh, ho ho! You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can't believe it...”
…the movie provides a lot of moral clarity and it has a happy ending.
The Incredibles: Saving the world by whacking one evil genius at a time.
H/T Halfvast Conspirator for the replacement of “gravity” with “gravitas” in honor of Jean ( I speak French!) Carré.
Not that Iran ever actually promised not to build nuclear bombs, We were just sooo HOPE-ing. Butt as midnight, Lausanne time, approached Jean Carré was very bummed. He had been trying to get a hold of Barry all day.
Jean Carré, last seen kicking the can down the road.
Unfortunately BO was too busy to take the call; he had bigger fish to fry. He had been on the links since early Sunday, even as many other Christians were still attending Palm Sunday services.
Obama was joined for his round of golf Sunday by Jim Crane, who owns the Floridian. Crane is a major Democratic donor who also owns the Houston Astros and golfed with Obama and Tiger Woods in 2013. He's also a major player in the Texas energy industry.
Also in Obama's foursome is Milton Carroll. He's on the board of directors of Halliburton, the oil company closely associated with former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney.
Private equity investor Glenn Hutchins rounds out the president's group. He's a partial owner of the Boston Celtics. (AP)
What’s going on with this group of old, rich, white guys? A private equity investor – like Mitt Romney? A Texas energy magnate…really? And Milt Carroll, member of the Halliburton board – the abominable Halliburton? Why, they practically invented fracking! What’s going on here? Are we secretly planning another war that Congress doesn’t know about? Or is it just about money?
I’m going with the money. Because it’s always about the money. Right?
Boo-Rock On, Black Girl!
And if it isn’t the money, it’s the amount.
You don’t suppose Iran is getting more money from somebody else?
Due to the recent mass murder of 149 men, women and children with a high-capacity Airbus A320 airplane – which is just the most recent in an epidemic of suicidal airplanes – airplane safety rules are being reviewed by the Federal Transportation Department for possible revision.
Under the leadership of luminaries like former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg as well as other well known anti-gun politicians and Hollywood activists, grass root advocacy groups have been quickly organized and funded. One of the largest to-date is Mothers Against Planes* (MAP). They’ve already begun to lobby Congress for legislation that will ban any aircraft that holds more than 10 passengers.
As always there are apologists for Big Planes who say silly things like “planes don’t kill people, people kill people.”
To them I say, so what? We’ve got a new special interest group to pander to and a new government agency to form and fund.
Exciting new videogame: “Government Oversight” – Now you can be the boss of everybody!
While investigating last week’s mass murder by 28-year-old German Andreas Günter Lubitz, authorities are looking into the possibility that it wasa possible copycat crime:
Japan Airlines Flight 350 - Captain Seiji Katagiri forces the Japan Airlines Flight 350 to crash, murdering 24 passengers with a McDonnell Douglas DC-8-61 (1982)
Royal Air Maroc Flight 630 - 32-year-old Younes Khayati murdered 44 people when he flew his ATR 42-312 into the Atlas Mountains (1994)
9/11/2001 mass murders – Four separate and co-ordinated attacks using high-capacity, assault aircraft resulted in the mass murder of 2,996 men, women and children. (2001)
EgyptAir Flight 990 – co-pilot Gamil el-Batouty murdered 216 people with a high-capacity Boeing 767 (2002)
Mozambique Airlines flight TM470 - Captain Herminio dos Santos Fernandes murdered 32 men, women and children with a Standard-Capacity Embraer 190(2013
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 - Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah suspected of murdering 238 men, women and children with a high-capacity Boeing 777 (2014)
SilkAir Flight 185 – Captain Tsu Way Ming is believed to have murdered 107 people with his high capacity oeing B737. (2015)
Germanwings Flight 9525 - 28-year-old German Andreas Günter Lubitz executes 149 men, women and children with a high-capacity Airbus A320(2015)
It should be noted that after exhaustive investigation it has been proved that in each instance, the high-capacity aircraft was purchased legally.
Noting this disturbing trend of mass murder involving high-capacity aircraft, MAP along with other anti-plane groups immediately sprung into action in the Twitterverse using #BanHighCapPlanes. Their goal is to make air travel risk free by the end of the decade. Using their now familiar #PassengerLivesMatter they are demanding that all high-capacity, military assault style aircraft carrying in excess of 10 passengers be banned.
With certain exceptions, of course, for governmental purposes
This creates quite a political dilemma: if we ban high-capacity aircraft, thus increasing geometrically the number of low-capacity private jets, it would surely have a negative impact on our collective carbon footprint. Butt if we don’t ban them, well, when will we stop killing our children? This one’s a real political catch-22. From what I understand the current plan is for Big Guy to issue an Executive Order banning such flights, have the MSM blame the Republicans for the fallout and therefore provide Hillz with a platform to run on.
Meanwhile, the surplus high-capacity aircraft will be given to ISIS and Mexican gun cartels, leaving the rest of us stuck temporarily with just the horse we rode in on.
And with that I can advise you that Elvis has, indeed, left the building.
Full disclosure: Mother’s Against Planes (MAP) is partially funded by Amtrak and the Cruise Lines International Association
“FORWARD?” – WTF, why not?
Transist we much!
