In 2008 the American public, angry at the fake Conservatism and Neo-Wilsonian Foreign policy of Bush, voted in Barack Hussein Obama. He had coattails and brought in a heavily Leftist Congress. Conservatism was pronounced dead since it was thought Bush destroyed the brand. However, Obama and his Tranzi minions overestimated their mandate. They thought Americans had embraced their Totalitarian agenda of control. As they proceeded to apologize for America’s action to our enemies, give Constitutional rights to Islamo-Imperialists, give $700 Billion in borrowed money to special interest, attempt to impose a Eugenics based healthcare system, do the bidding of Wall Street at the expense of Main Street and turn on our allies, the American people have had enough. They did not vote for this radical change and are now having buyer’s remorse.
(Jan. 20) – It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or a pollster to know that Americans are not happy with Washington. The honeymoon that greeted President Obama a year ago today has degenerated into hypercriticism, deep anxiety and downright anger.
That may sound more like a high-profile Hollywood divorce than a political analysis, yet in some ways that’s exactly what Americans are going through right now. Make no mistake: Americans were giddy about getting rid of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, but they are clearly suffering from buyer’s remorse a year later.
The seeds of Obama’s current political dilemma were sown the day of his inauguration. The expectations heaped on his shoulders were clearly impossible to sustain, and there was little effort by his administration to dampen the “hope” that had propelled him from first-term senator to first African-American president. And when those expectations weren’t met, someone had to be held accountable.
Read the rest.
Frank Luntz is correct in his analysis. Americans don’t want Progressivism and it’s concept of elitist control over society. They didn’t expect Obama would turn out to be the Neo-Maoist Radical that he is. In response, Americans are rediscovering, as Speranza wrote in this great post, real authentic Libertarian- Conservatism. A philosophy based on individual liberty, economic freedoms, small government and traditional Judeo-Christian culture. Americans want a foreign policy based on defending our interest and allies, not building Democracy in Muslim countries or subverting our foreign policy to Transnationalist institutions. In other words, Americans are returning to our roots based on Liberty and National self interest.
What has occurred is that in 2006/2008 Americans have rejected Neo-Wilsonian Compassionate Conservatism. Now Americans in 2010 and hopefully 2012 will reject Transnationalist Totalitarian Progressivism. Both these ideologies belong in the annals of history and America will be better off without them.

Sperenza was dead on. Liberty has not caused any of the economic or political problems in this country. It is all attributable to the size and scope of government and their wasteful beaurocracy and foolish spending.
The economic disaster we are now experiencing is a direct result of tyrannical government taxation and progressive socio economic policy.

The first clue was that he spent 20 years in the pews of a racist church – but people WANTED ignore it. I heard Al Hunt last week defending that as ‘political expediency’.
I’d love to see him try to use the same argument defending a white guy who attended KKK meetings. “Oh, just keeping in touch with my base, you know how it goes.”
Frankly, I have little sympathy for Obama voters experiencing ‘buyers remorse’. He was a manifest fraud from the outset and they have only their own moral vanity to blame.

Well, your party and the media did ignore the townhall people, mock them, demonize them, lock them out while saving seats for union thugs, and in some cases went as far to announce that the meetings were “your” meetings and the citizens were not in charge.
“I wish we’d pushed it through despite the fact that the majority of Americans didn’t want it before those same Americans could vote to stop us. ”
“Educated about details” means they accepted his description of that the bill will do. Wow, so people who agree with you agree with you?
And as for “historic” inaugeration, what was historic about it?
“Up until now in my life, I’ve only had to speak, and everyone fell over themselves agreeing with me and giving me awards or promotions for it. So clearly, if people disagree with me (Come on, with ME?) it must mean that they’re dense.”
Yes, Americans, your president just said, “I keep telling them and telling them, but they’re too dense to get it.”

I actually don’t think conservatism is on the rise. I think most people are where they always were on the political scale. It is just that leftists hid their agenda so well for so long, and a lot of people who just want to help people were fooled. It’s the difference between talking about “helping the poor” and realizing exactly how much money will be taken, how it is spent, what the results are, and how much is wasted. It is the difference between thinking that everyone should be able to see a doctor and realizing that a state takeover of anything never ever results in better service.

There has been for decades a great need to widen I-81 in the Virginia mountain corridor. With the very heavy truck traffic and the ups, downs, and curves in the terrain, it has become one of the most dangerous interstates in the country.
Ordinary people are chronically miffed and puzzled that the feds seem to have money for any project but the expansion of I-81. We always chalk it up to not having enough political clout down here. We’re just not presenting a project with the right kickbacks for the right crooks or the right contracts for the right political supporters.
But you know what I hear in the academic community? Why expand I-81? You’ll just get more traffic on it.
Of course this does not stop them from personal complaints about the traffic. (Their solution? Ban the trucks! So they can complain about not getting their off-season arugula, I guess.)
And you know, there have been a lot of flower projects on I-81, too. A whole lot.

President Barack Obama said his administration overestimated its ability to persuade the Israelis and Palestinians to resume meaningful peace talks.
Obama said both parties have been unwilling to make the bold gestures needed to move the process forward. If the US had anticipated that earlier, the American leader said he might not have raised his expectations so high.
Unlike President Bush, this asshole and his lacky Mitchell lump the Israeli’s in with the terrorists who call themselves Palistinians?

He bragged that HE could fix the Middle East. He said that HE is someone who would LISTEN to the countries involved rather than trying to tell them what to do.
So what was the first thing he did?
He told the Arab world that Israel must stop 100% of the construction in the very active Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria that aren’t growing in land space but filling with more housing and people within their existing boundaries.
He didn’t LISTEN to Israel AT ALL (or even ask if it would be possible to choke these vibrant communities to death, even if Israel wanted to do such a thing which Israel doesn’t).
Mahmoud Abbas jumped RIGHT ON THE BANDWAGON and made this demand his pre-condition for peace talks. Israel has made concessions this past year to try to please Obama and help the process, but Obama now DENIES that Israel did anything (or anything “bold” as he calls it).
He shouldn’t have claimed he could fix a 120 year old conflict as if all the other President since Israel’s actual founding have failed because they didn’t try (or because they’re not THE ONE).
He’s acting as if he’s taking responsibility for his failures now but he’s actually DENYING responsibility for what he did to make things worse.
Again, the peace talks wouldn’t have worked because the Arabs only want Israel gone. He made the talks impossible anyway.

In another time, making judgments—between right and wrong, better and worse, good and evil—was considered a sign of intelligence and maturity.
Today, these things stamp you as a vulgar ignoramus to be banished to the outer darkness. Should you presume to make judgments, you are sinning against the spurious modern concept of “equality,” that everything is the same as, or equal to, everything else. Obama and Mitchell, to be “honest brokers” in their own minds, must demonize the Israelis in order to bring them down to the level of the Arabs—and must whitewash the Arabs’ genocidal intent in order to be able to pretend that they are fit “peace partners” for the Israelis. To do otherwise is to make judgments, which is contrary to their notion of “equality.”
Note, by the way, that this concept of “equality” bears a more than passing resemblance to that contained in Huxley’s Brave New World. In that book there was a rigid caste society created by intentionally-poisoned test-tube babies—but a spurious link with the long-discarded concepts of freedom and political rights was retained by the mantra that “all men are physico-chemically equal.”

They want Jerusalem, they want the “right of return”… “palestine” is their ancient homeland, yet they are refugees who continue to live in “palestine.”
Not one lefty I know is interested to see how illogical the entire thing is. All I’ve heard from people is, those Jews stole their land.

This has shown the voters of Israel that evacuating territory does two things:
1. Makes the violence from the area 1000 times worse.
2. Is totally ignored by the peacemakers as if it never happened.
Even the Israelis who had wanted to evacuate the settlements in Judea and Samaria mostly don’t want to do this anymore.

To the Israelis, leaving territory is a gesture of goodwill in the larger interest of peace.
To the people itching to dismember Israel, leaving territory is Israel admitting it has no legitimacy. It is, for the Israel-haters, not proof of Israeli goodwill, but confirmation of their eliminationist worldview.
This is why the first “land for peace” deal, under the thrice-damned Carter, was so pernicious; it set the template for this nonsense and held out the false hope that giving up land would indeed bring peace. So Israel gave up vast territories, and their resources, and the definable border of the Suez Canal—in exchange for a cold and hostile neighbor whose government publishes and broadcasts incitement against its “ally.”
And simply because there has been no overt outbreak of hostilities, this charade is called “peace”—and Israel is expected to disembowel itself in series for each new and false Arab concession.
The Youtes in Frogistan are burning cars again. When are the Frogs going to find some balls and take care of thier problem? Do they need a little girl to come and show them what it means to be a man again? Damn, but we should have fed the French to the Germans in WWI. We’d have been rid of them, and there might not have been a WWII at all.
They hate suburbia because it isn’t where they choose to live, so it must be the wrong choice. That “If you don’t like abortion, don’t have one” mindset sure ends real quickly when it is someone doing something that THEY don’t like.

The Israelis aren’t the only ones pursuing that, but they’re as far ahead as anyone. It’s probably not that promising in the short run as an oil replacement, but it does have some interesting possibilities as a closed-cycle power generation method, where they supercharge the pond with CO2 from the power plant, and then the stuff grows like crazy. A medium-term variation is to burn coal in a power plant (Israel currently burns a lot of coal, mostly South African), and then use this process to make oil. That would be a great twofer for both Israel and the US.

Clinton inter-meshed the power of his office with cheap sex. He put a lot at risk. Yet he is well respected today.
