My regular readers – all four of them – may have noticed that I have a special reserve of scathing contempt for Socialists and other Nanny Staters. What can I say, my parents did far too efficient a job of instilling in me a sense of what’s fair, and a very few deciding what’s good for a great many definitely comes down on the side of Not Fucking Fair.
This is one huge reason I’m so very interested in tracking (and taking the piss out of) the words of the Empty Suit scheduled to take office in my beloved country next January. It’s also the reason I have an “Internationalism” tag, since Britain is well on it’s way, and Venezuela is a fuckin’ Master Class in action.
Ecstatic with your choice are you 52s? So very giddy that some of you are meeting already to plan his national holiday. You want to see what the future holds if The Messiah attains his stated goals?
In Carabobo, where a Chavez loyalist and former late-night talk show host risks losing the governorship, Chavez told party activists he might use the tanks to “defend the people.”
“If you let the oligarchy return to government then maybe I’ll end up sending the tanks of the armoured brigade out to defend the revolutionary government,” he said late on Saturday.
What’s the matter?
That could never happen in America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?
Why not? Your Messiah has already stated he wishes to create a National Civilian Defense Force. Just what do you think they’ll be used for? Beating up on petty thieves? Helping old ladies across the street?
Please do us moron 48s a wee little favor – read some history (if I have to tell you WHICH history then there’s going to be no hope for you anyway) and puzzle it out for yourself instead of allowing your usual deranged assholes to lead you around by the sexual organs.
We’ve done what we wre unable to do in 2000 and 2004: allowed a dangerous nut with delusions of grandeur to be elected. God help us all.

I still think I’ll wake up from this nightmare. Maybe within the next 4 years the idiot 52′s will have a vision and it won’t be of the OB messiah coming to save their lazy asses.

It’s going to be a rough four years, that’s for sure. I, for one, won’t back off because they won. I’m still mad.

Eight is Not Enough. Jess, we’ve probably seen each other before.
Since I just now popped in, I introduce myself and warn I may ask questions already answered.
[One of the first questions will be what tags I can use in this box.]
I’d sworn I’d stop talking about politics, but maybe I can be seduc–I mean induced to go on.
The morons have taken over. Not only have “we” selected a pig in a poke, it’s not necessarily given there really is a pig in the poke. I see folks like ClobberGirl saying, oh, well, it’s time to support the new President regardless. I got smeared a “separatist” over there for being frightened suspicious and and upset. Smells Fifth-Columnist.
Jess, now may note you are now not allowed to feel unhappy whilst being crapped on. You may also note the election is over but the harrassment is not; it was always a psychological war more than a political one. Certain assclowns are still trying to prove to themselves they’re not stupid.
If it comes out we have a Bad President, which is worse for The Country? To have a Bad President fail, or to have him succeed?

Welcome 6 through 10!
Hm, what tags can you use…pretty much anything I think. I do not have any plugin installed that limits them…
As for your last question, which is worse for the country, to have a bad pres fail or to have him succeed… Given the man’s stated intentions (beaten to death on this very site), I’d say if he is successful then we’re utterfly fucked. If he fails at his stated intentions then that’s nothing but good.
At this point I think his very existence (as a political entity, not a human being) is bad for the country. With his supporters already branding us as “racists” if we do not fall in line – hell, with our own people branding us subversives if we do not fall into line – the rifts between ideologies are the deepest I have ever seen.
I used to scoff at the idea of any sort of armed Revolution in my lifetime. No longer.

11? Anyway, I check in everyday, now that I’ve discovered a fellow “subversive”. I, too, will give no quarter to the Manchurian Candidate-elect. And as you wrote, I also find myself considering things like how to defend my neighborhood, family, and friends from the coming conflict.
I can already feel that this will be a cold and bitter winter…

@D.W.: A victory garden is a good way to start. We have a 1/4 acre plot and I’ve had multiple frames going all summer, and now into winter, supplying almost all of our fresh veg needs.

@Liberty Girl: Great minds do indeed think alike! We planted a large garden (approx. 40′X40′) this year (we live on 1.4 acres) that gave us a bumper crop of veggies. So at the end of the season, we plowed more ground to double the size of the garden for next year. It was very reassuring to know that we could grow our own food if times get really bad. Now we have neighbors asking how to do the same.

@D.W.: Fantastic! Our neighbors are all Obama supporters, I’m sure they expect the weekly deliveries from the People’s Grocery Store to start any time now.

“I’m sure they expect the weekly deliveries from the People’s Grocery Store to start any time now.”
That’s funny and not funny…..it’s like everything else – mature reasonable people see it as such silly nonsense that it could never happen and expect that no one could take it seriously……the other side sees it as one of their entitlements and so it happens – like the woman who said she won’t have to worry about the mortgage or gas for her car – she was dead serious. Yikes.

speaking of the “People’s Grocery Store” … here in the delightful P.R. of mid-Michigan … the food banks are mostly kept barren by the demand from all the faithful union workers who are now out of work after they’ve (virtually, so far) bankrupt their employers. And, as good little grasshoppers, they’re all whineing and crying destitution and praying for the Obamanation to support thwm, since they blew every penny they ever “earned” on extravagent lifestyles. Me, I’ve been prepared … since the late 60′s … to defend my savings from the heathens … and whilest they may well overcome me with their numbers … the armed revolution will claim many of their numbers!
ONOH, I guess I could accept retirement and move back to a somewhat more sane political atmosphere in Alberta … LOL

@ Liberty Girl: HA! do you wonder how long she’s going to WAIT for BO to pay her Mortgage and give her gas before she ‘gets it’? and Yes it will be the fault of all the the Stingy RACISTS when he doesn’t come through for her.
