The Abandonment of Democracy – WSJ.com

The most surprising thing about the first half-year of Barack Obama’s presidency, at least in the realm of foreign policy, has been its indifference to the issues of human rights and democracy. No administration has ever made these its primary, much less its exclusive, goals overseas.

    I encourage you to get into the verbal brawl with the politicos. Little can be accomplished by commiserating with each other in closed loops as the blog sites. You should invest your talents where they can best be used. Tell them what you want them to do–or do not!

    To the senators and representatives of these United States of America:

    You have too long meandered down this serpentine road to nowhere. The people are fed up with your tacit collaboration with DOTUS–Deceiver Of The US. They ask why you tolerated this prurient narcissist in the bight house for more than half a year. Why did you ignore your consciences and confirmed, time and time again, the thieves he nominated to his cabinet? Why did you not protest the the installments of social deviants in his west wing? Were you afraid to be politically incorrect to speak the truth to a biracial president? Why did you not speak the words writ large on the walls of stalls where you tossed up your cookies for what you had, or hand not done? Were you fearful that the Chicago hoodlums would rake up the muck of our own past derelictions? Will you confess your indiscretions to your constituents? Do you enjoy your reputation as gang of co-dependents and enablers of the denouement of this republic? Tough questions. How will you respond?

    The people have asked and now have spoken. Most of them scorn most of you. The Chinese say, ‘We live in interesting times’. We say, ‘These are Painefully (sic) dangerous times, and these times strain the hearts and souls of men’. Your hearts and souls should also grieve.

    We do not promote armed rebellion against this regime. We will not flash our guns, flip over cars, shatter store windows, or set fires. We will follow the Constitution and demand you do the same. You must pluck the feathers from the birds of prey surrounding the DOTUS. However, ‘The One’ and his henchmen salivate for insurrection. At the slightest suggestion of civil unrest, he will invoke EO 12919. How long will you standby when you witness the mayhem wrought by an undisciplined band of ACORN and panther militants?

    We have have been sending you warnings before the election last November. Your continued slapping the snooze bar on the alarm clock, will not dispel the urgency. ‘May day’ has been announced. You have slept through the perils of the Pearl Harbor attack and and bombs over London. You may go to the mattresses and take refuge in your bunkers, but you will eventually come out into a world you cannot visualize. You will not hear of children laughing or women singing. Beware of bearded men with bloody scimitars. Enough dramatics?

    This is what you must do:

    1.In the name of the laws of our forefathers, dissolve the regnum in the white house.
    2.Evict your ‘peers’ who refuse to investigate ACORN and the New Black Panthers.
    3.Demand DOTUS to reveal the identities of his campaign contributors.
    4.Stop retroactive impeachment of the Bush administration.
    5.Nullify the ‘Saxbe fix’ and return Clinton to her senate seat
    6.Indict the E. Holder as a terrorist emancipator.
    7.Do not vote on any of Obama’s legislations until he divulges the documents which were exacted from his opponent, John McCain.
    8.If he demurs, instigate his impeachment.
    9.Bring home the troops in foreign lands before their homeland is incinerated.

    We do not jest. We demand this phantom of the Oprah (sic) be unmasked and dismissed!

    My rumination when capitalism died:
    Mother Market Skewed

    Bull Bruin has fallen from his perch overlooking Broad and Wall.
    He has been dismembered and dispersed as pieces big and small.
    Not all of moguls of Mother Market’s whores,
    Nor all of her bean accounting men in scores,
    Can restore Bull’s stature in the global village,
    For he was sundered by MIGA’s* pimps who pumped the Ponzi pillage.
    Should Bruin be smithed or smithered by a dilettante hand,
    Than by the guidance of Adam’s invisible one so grand?
    What will Bull Bruin become after his remake is done?
    Will he regain his status of Number One?
    Should he trust inept paws to bind his wounds
    Or self salve his bruises caused by the craven hounds?
    None can see the outcome yet, for time wounds all heels:
    A skewed cynicism of the truth that time’s passage is what heals.

    Memo to Rossputin re’ ’snitch site’:

    I tried the flag site (Flag of ‘The Stand’?). This is what I have concluded–whether you like it or not:

    Have any of you tried recently to send a message to Axelrod’s snoop site? Earlier this week, I was blocked with an error message stating ‘this page is temporarily whatever…’
    I changed my screen name and they accepted my memos as of yesterday. When the word count exceeds the query box limit, I had to break it into several increments to abide that parameter. No problem. Today, the site accepts as many words as I stuff into the box now. However, after the notation is sent, the site ‘thanks me for the memo. Great, er, ah, not so fast. When I toggle the ‘resend’ button returning me to the comment box, a yellow ribbon states the ‘message was not processed’ for lack of completion of the ’subject’ box. I ALWAYS check that box. Nonetheless, I repeat it and have noted my input remains as it was before I submitted it. Ergo, this is their ploy to blockade information they choose not to read.

    Have any of you encountered the Rorschach test before you are enabled to submit comments in Axelrod’s wacky wiki flag site? The blots are impossible to decipher. I was so frustrated for so many failures to register my plaints, I made several photos to verify that I had accurately done so. My messages were constantly rejected because I was accused for failing to translate their goofy graffiti.

    Try accessing the ’site’. When the gov tires of your tirades, you will be challenged with the gauntlet of undecipherable ink blots. The scribbled ‘art work’ appears to be the product of the three benighted monkeys. In fact, the ploy smacks of the CIA caveat known as ‘plausible denial’.

    Has Axelrod’s snoop site crashed?

    Bloggers, hear me please:
    Mutual back scratching effects nothing in the Moebian loops of venues such as as this. We must address our concerns to those who yet hold the sway in governance lest the politburo supplants their power. I know we judge those who make the laws are the first to break them, but some of them are right in head and righteous in heart. They are the ones we must reach. Write your constituents in WADC. I submit one of my many outcries to those who remain relevant. It may be a Quixotic tilt against the egregious windmill of big government. What goes around comes around. Look to Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry. Shall we of the ’silent majority’ submit to the puling minority of tyranny? Write right, write righteous, and write something like this:
    Email, Bayhe, Lugar, Pence, 31 Jul 09:
    Sir:
    I received your letter re’ 909 this morning. The response is about 6 weeks too late. At least, your robot finally sent something.
    The ‘curve bending’ usurper and his minions will pervert the language of 909 is a wedge to skew the 1st amendment. That skew will screw down another plank in his Marxist platform–or coffin of Lady Liberty. Not only will she be buried, for they will declare, ‘God is dead’. those of us who keep the Faith, we will pray that He will take us Home instead.
    Should I condemn homosexuality, but not censure the person who practices it, the skew implicit in 909, will label me as a criminal. Should I criticize fetocide, but not judge him who commits such a crime, I am the felon. I ate with perfect hatred, not the man–his crime, from Psalm 139.
    The silence of the lemmings is suicide. The outcries from the ’silent and moral majorities’, now known as ‘PILMOA’, will not recant our honor of Him who ‘knitted us in our mothers’ wombs’, ibid.
    Are you aware that book sellers cannot maintain their inventories of the works of two dead authors: Thomas Paine’s, ‘Common Sense’ and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged?
    “These are times that try men’s souls… What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly”. Thomas Paine in ‘The Crisis’, 1776.
    “There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws.”
    -Ayn Rand, “Atlas Shrugged”, 1959.
    Add these to you shopping cart.
