And here it is. Yannow, sometimes I think Ron and I are related. We certainly think a lot alike.
What’s going on with Cruz and Paul and a few others in Congress today isn’t really about the multi-headed Hydra of Obamacare which will eventually trip over its own jackbooted feet and collapse in an amorphous heap of red tape to ignominiously die of suffocation as its ponderous weight suffocates it beneath the blizzard of paperwork and taxes that follows it around like the raincloud over Joe Btplfsk.

Younger folks will not get that reference. Ancient guys like Ron and me, remember the comic strip, L’il Abner.
Obamacare is only one in a continuing series of catastastrokes that aging flower children and limousine liberals and moon-calf RINOs have foisted upon American small-business owners and ordinary taxpayers over the past 50 years or so. The mortal struggle that Cruz et al. are engaged in is a pitched battle between the TEG (Total Entitlement Gang) and those cussed TEA Partyers who would dare to rein in runaway government growth and rescind the Forever Stamp on the Carte Blanche card of eternal deficit spending.
Bless their hearts. They’re trying to save the country, but the country doesn’t want to be saved. If it had, it wouldn’t have reelected Jug Hussein Ears Downgrade.
The war is an insidious one, fought without bullets, without bayonets, without blood, but it produces a green hemorrhage of Franklins from Uncle Sam’s guts which will eventually bring him to his knees and ultimately result in massive failure of all his vital organs. One branch is already in 4th-Stage Marxosis with little chance of remission or cure. Another is riddled with advanced Liberalitis and has difficulty dealing with the most fundamental problems of what does or does not correspond with the tenets of that archaic rag some call the “Constitution,” although that word itself seems to have lost all meaning today.
And remember, Chris Hayes of MSNBC sez it’s that pesky Constitution that is causing all of the problems today. Without it, the gummint could continue spending and the Fed could continue printing money. What could possibly go wrong?
And the third branch is so fearful of undergoing detox from the fatally addictive narcotic of acquired power that it develops hives and debilitating laryngitis any time a bill is introduced which even remotely challenges or criticizes or threatens funding for the programs so cherished by entrenched Kennedyites, Reidiots, and Obamunists.
Hence we have “conservative” Chief Justice John Roberts declaring Obummercare constitutional. Even Justice Kennedy, who we thought would be the swing vote, declared it unconstitutional. WTF happened to you, John? What do you have against the best healthcare in the world?
Cruz and Paul are involved in a cruzade against unfunded liabilities,
If the gummint had to use the same accounting standards that it forces business to use, we would see just how broke it is, since it would have to account for the unfunded liabilities of both Medicare and Social Security. If it were a business it would have to declare bankruptcy
unending entitlements,
C’mon Ron, you have to realize that this country is flawed because it was founded by old white men some of whom owned slaves. We are stained with the original sin of Slavery® and the RWPPs like Obumbler, Holder, Sharpton, and Jackson, won’t let us forget that which is why we have to do penance and support the black underclass until our gummint and country collapses. To the rat bastard commies, that’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
I’ll be willing to bet a programmer owns that car.
and unearned benefits. Their major allies are personal accountability, common sense, and patriotism, which seem to be under some kind of enervating spell cast by zombie journalists, sycophantic pundits, and hypnotized political analysts on all TV media outlets not named after le renard.
At the center of the line of battle is a well-equipped and loyal government-growth legion squared off against a poorly organized and indecisive cadre of economic-growth entrepreneurs who are so worried about thieves raiding their treasuries while they enter the fray that they are more focused on their rear and their flanks than the main force aligned against them.
Unfortunately, gummint workers are overwhelmingly Dimocrats which is why the IRS gleefully put conservative organizations through the wringer to obtain tax free status. We are seeing the same thing with the shutdown, with Park Rangers dishonoring veterans trying to visit open air monuments in DC and gleefully closing national parks. It’s a sad state of affairs. This is the kind of stuff that occurs in a banana republic, sumpin’ we have started to degenerate into with the election of a president, who along with his racist wife, hates America and everything it used to stand for. To change Blackie O’s statement somewhat, this is the first time in my entire life that I am not proud of my county. Can someone point me to any statement by Obumbler where he talks of the greatness of this country or how he is proud to be an American? We have a president who hates America and everything it stands for just like his racist wife. In no other country on this planet could either of them achieved the success they have found here. Have you ever heard either of them say that?
Conservatives are involved in a gallant but doomed causa antigua based on principles now considered obsolete and irrelevant by the pezzonovante illegitimi of the faux intelligentsia. What they proclaim — that the current rate of spending coupled with the self-feeding interest payments on pre-existing debt is unsustainable — is true, of course, but they are preaching to a choir which is abandoning the church in favor of carpe diem for all and screw your grandchildren.
Don Alonso (Quixote) Cruz and his Sancho Panzas are poking sharpened sticks at the nanny-state champion, the Tax’n’Spend Jabberwock, but the beast is armor plated and stands too tall for them to reach his tiny brain with their legal thrusts and logic probes. Enemy scouts are infiltrating behind the lines and pissing on the campfires
Yannow, RINOs like Johnny Maverick McRINO and his mini-me Little Lindsey
Graham. They run as conservatives, but as soon as they get to DC they start playing to the LSM hoping to be loved. And how do they get to be loved by the LSM? By betraying their constituents and knifing their fellow Republicans in the back. The LSM loves them when they do that. Hey Johnny boy, how much did the LSM love you when you were running for president? They turned on you like a bunch of rabid wolves, didn’t they? But all you had to do for them to love you again was to start knifing Republicans in the back and now you and they have kissed and made up. To the LSM, the only good Republican is a RINO, unless he runs for president. Look out Christy. The LSM is sharpening their knives and waiting for you if you get the nomination in 2016. They loved you when you felated Oboner before the 2012 election. That love will disappear in 2016.
as the troops grow ever wearier from carrying their shields and trying to find their arrows in the dark.
Rocinante is exhausted, and The Don’s allies are retiring from the field of battle to go have dinner with the folks back home who have been deliberately misled and manipulated by the ever-campaigning-and-always-complaining i-WON!, whose siren songs of “It’s Bush’s fault” and “Those Damned Republicans” strike mesmeric ethnic resonance with all who cannot trace their ancestry to northern Europe and who reside by the mouth of the cornucopia of cheese near the Shrine of St. Trayvon of Skittles.
Good fight, senators, but it was rigged from the start by Dirty Harry and No-Deals Barry. Te saluto, but watch out for that train . . . hard to tell where it’ll go when it leaves the tracks.
The irony here is that the people who have suffered most under Obeavis are blacks. They fared far better under Reagan and both Bushes than they have under Obutthead. If a Republican were president, they would prolly be rioting in the streets egged on by Horrible Harry, exSpeaker Blinky, and the LSM. But they got their first black president so who cares how bad they have it?
I don’t really give a shit. I also don’t care that when the collapse comes, they will be hurt the most because they eschewed education and responsibility and lived on the Dimocrat plantation. All we have to do to know that is to remember what happened after Katrina when the state and local gummint failed and Eric Holders “people” didn’t have a clue how to survive. Look what happened in the Superdome. Think of that on a national basis. It ain’t gonna be pretty.
