Hey, Rome wasn't destroyed in a day. Give Obamacare a chance.
Oh but don't we all wish... That is those of us in this Country having enough of a memory and conscience to know the difference of what has been done and continues being done in our names.

Obama's unpublished revelation:
"If it weren't for Harvard, I'd probably be in jail. No, I definitely would be a jail. I was planning to rob a bank. I bought a ski mask. but no gun (Doh!). But then I saw a flyer for Harvard university laying on the ground. I picked it up and had someone read it to me. It changed my life. It really did, I mean it. Seriously. I realized that I didn't have to resort to a life of crime. I could easily earn lots of money and not even break the law."
"So I took all of the classes, and now here I am - President of the USA. And I'm doing damn good at it. I even wear a tie when I make my speeches reading from the tele-prompter just because it makes me feel more professional."

WB, you need to make your greatest hits available in Tshirt form.
march of 68. having no desire to go mano y mano with the vc, and seeing that uncle (the great conscriptor) was taking EVERYONE, some of us joined the great canoe club (USN). hoping for an early end to the war, a few cruises up and down the coast then come home for good. so we thought when LBJ (the architect of the vietnam SURGE) raised the US troop prescence by a factor of ten, and the sitting potus suddenly withdrew his nomination (after the antiwar Eugene McCarthy whipped him in the NH primary, and Bobby, who had promised to stay out, made some noise about getting back in) we listened and thought now this war will end. ha ha ha.. we thought five years later after declaring peace with honor, that the american people had enough of these third world brush wars. that america was not the worlds policeman.. we had learned all the hard lessons the hard way...
the war on terror replaced international communism (which was always a farce) poverty replaced conscription (which was fair anyway, poverty is never fair) victory was replaced by political objectives, and political objectives were replaced by punitive wars. our government gives weapons and money to both sides to keep them going, war is profitable and grist for the political authoritarian grist mill (dont change horses in midstream, gave way to a scorched earth policy, 2008 engineered financial collapse, bigger than the false flag of 2001) bush wanted to rule the world, instead they controlled obama, and let him rule the world, why not if its in our interests?)
if you want democracy ducklings they will give you tanks in the streets and martial law. (Paulsons threat to congressional reps who rejected TARP) the few who stand up to them are quickly shouted down (demagougery is for the statists, not the people. they killed Huey Long and called him a sociopath, while they built a system based on sociopathic ideas.) you can't blame the system can you obama? this debt ceiling business, money we have already spent, (on drugs, guns and whores and gambling - misallocated capital, war profits, runaway entitlements - we must honor all of it, right obama, while you add some of your own, campaign kickback schemes and such)
i puke for george bush pretending to honor veterans i puke again for obama. let us die in peace.
grateful,

Profile of the SociopathThis website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
Other Related Qualities:
(The above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare.)
NOTE: In the 1830's this disorder was called "moral insanity." By 1900 it was changed to "psychopathic personality." More recently it has been termed "antisocial personality disorder" in the DSM-III and DSM-IV. Some critics have complained that, in the attempt to rely only on 'objective' criteria, the DSM has broadened the concept to include too many individuals. The APD category includes people who commit illegal, immoral or self-serving acts for a variety of reasons and are not necessarily psychopaths.

obama is a classic hyper-sociopath. He is succeeding by "fundamentally transforming" America and he will not stop until he's done everything he's been ordered to do by his "handlers". He's their puppet and he plays the role perfectly. He and the rest of the Marxist, treasonous scum may not get everything they hope for while obama is president...but they are getting some huge achievements that will only be carried on by the next scumbag in office, and so on, and so on, and so on, until We The People take them all out and try them for the criminals that they are.

Could you imagine the race war that would cause?
Given proportions of the races, not much of a worry other than for those who live in major urban areas.
Best guess though is that everyone keeps ordering pizzas and watching football, or golf.

Per usual, thanks Will. There will be no such questions about your work. Brilliant stuff.
The history of the world has seen many sloan. If you really think about it.
greetings & salutations, denizens of the Hedge & all therewith sympathetically aligned:
i'm sad to report that janus has come down with some fairly pernicious virus; it's a motley lot, as far as such things go. it's one of those things i'd wish upon an enemy, if'n i had any (he he he).
but i'm gonna accept this lemon and transmorgify it into something FAR sweeter than lemonade...something salty for the discriminating set -- those who like to blend things bitter and sweet to some better end.
as such, i'm gonna steal a technique from my good buddy fydor doestoevsky. he used to couch all these crazy rants in various and sundry sickbeds...back then everybody had, or knew of someone who had, a terrible case of consumption. apparantly, one of the side effects of this queer condition was that those so consumed would share with all keeping watch the oddest and most stirring of diatribe...the kinds of things you don't say in polite society. so that's my excuse; and i blame it all on doestoevsky.
oh, and one more thing, today marks the second anniversary of my arrival in boston...11-11-11, bitchez. operation mayhem is in full effect; and to that end, i do believe i have scored a mark or two, here on the pitch of this good, green earth. but, humble as i am, i never boast -- and you'd never believe me if'n i told ya, anyways.
nevertheless, happy birthday, Operation Mayhem...and many more!
but before i begin (and on a personal level...i admit it, i do kinda favor my cyber buddies here on the Hedge), i will say that, WB, you were a moving factor in my decision to fly down and see my ole mammy. yup, janus is gonna be the good son and board a jet early tuesday mornin, for to fly down dixie-ways and amiably greet my flagging mother, who's nearing seventy. time flies, young ZHealots.

okay, one more for mother. it's impossible to explain, momma...i'm playin a game that i'm destined to win; it's a big game, and the stakes are incalcuable. someday you'll understand:

welly-welly-well...what brand of mischief; what manner of Sinister Truth shall i spread abroad; what bowl of wrath is due for delivery? i tell you what, there ain't nuthin under heaven that smells quite as savory as a bowl full of steamin wrath...wiff o' The Future, is what it is. why, even jacob (he who contendeth, son of issac) would'a sold his soul for a single slurp...nevermind his birthright.
what 'Woe' are we on, anyway? second, third? it's hard to keep track; fast and furious as it's all gushing forth.
must be something witchy...yup, decidedly witchy. there's a determined wind gustin in offa buzzard's bay, headed cape-ways. it's now 3:33; and so it's time to dose on my medications (mary jane, vitamin C, lots of fluids, echinetia (sp?) and some other type shaman bush-remedies my wife has me believing in); time to stoke the fire and watch it as i groove to some tunes and see what's brewin in my cranial cauldron...should be sweet! (and sour)
ah, that's better fire's already roarin...perfect new england late night/early mornin for writin...nothing better to kindle the eternal spark than staring mezmeritically into one of its bluish-orange flame-tendrals as it splashes round and licks and lashes the surrounding split oak...what a metaphor!

and since janus is perfectly innocent of all the preceeding (just wanted to condemn the rest of you sinners), i will proceed with a birthday message dedicated to that lil operation i was referring to.
life is suffering; the source of all suffering is desire:
may i, without accruing any assumptive approbation, make a humble declaration to the hebrew who's made his home out palestine way? probably not; which is why i'm gonna take a sharp tack to the thing and come right out with it: judah, you've been snookered. sure'nuff, you've been pinned in like nevah before; at least not since we started markin time AD/BC...and LONG before we stopped.
rational and sane as you all seem to be, when it comes to that lil stip of land, you loose all sense of yourself. you 'self-hating-jews' know exactly what i'm talking about. so you've allowed your deepest superstitions and rarely acknowledged prejudices to serve in your most dreadful undoing. you were doing so well, spread abroad as you were.
jews have traded everything they once had for the security of 'israel'. no, no, no...america is no lap-dog -- i can promise you all as much. do you want to know what truly matters in this world? the control and distribution of resources. that, and the firepower to back it up. merchantilism; fiat banking; even industrialization itself...nothing is power but the lever over survival.
did you know, for example, that all tech and munitions sold or donated to israel are impaired...and the bad-ass stuff can be remotely disabled? not cool if you've predicated your 'existential' being on america always backing up your every ambition.
did you improvidently assume that american protestants' israeli-zeal were a permanant fixture? oh, judah, tsk-tsk-tsk. the message can quickly go out...the synagog of satan; put the sin on 'us'; sons of satan the devil, the father of lies;...etc; yup, all those verses and more can be quickly marshalled to powerful effect. it's happened before. besides, this whole, 'those who bless israel...yadda-yadda-yadda' bull shit was belched by balam, a pagan sorcerer; who was so beseeched by his ass, with no witnesses present (i might add).
you've allowed your emotions and your sentiment and, quite frankly, your superiority complex (certainly present in a goodly share of your residents) to get the better of you.
you're conspicuously placed in every manner of nefarious position. every chief banker; every war-mongering policy engineer; every purveyor of co-opted media; every conniving swinder is, sad to say, privately assumed by we gentiles to be an enthusiastic member of The Tribe. and this is comming from one who genuinely likes you...believe what you will. in fact, i, for one, am always blinkered as to baffled when i discover that, say, hank paulson isn't affiliated.
did you think we anglo were somehow unaware of the power of that fiat printing press. why do you think you were invited back in by cromwell to begin with? your job is to be the bad guy bankers. the name in all the chairs. it's dangerous being conspicuous.
quick question: how many batallions does it take to secure a central bank? answer: not even a sliver of a single.
and now you've been concentrated together...leveraged by your faith, everybody's favorite bad guy; and, soon enough, a villan at every southern baptist revival. you'll do ANYTHING for the sake of that cat-box surrounded by constipated lepoards, won't you?
you're being set up, judah. and, turth be known, you don't have a winning play. dark days out your way.
yes, the reports are true -- nationalism and antisemitism are burbling up everywhere...and the more forceful the effort to contain it, the more potent it becomes. again, no viable play in the foreseeable.
i'll tell you this much: if you think anything good will come from anymore 'preemtive' policies; if'n you strike without being first struck, and demonstrably so (VERY demonstrably), you're not going to like what follows. but i doubt you're gonna listen to me. as i'm not tellin you what your itchin ears want to hear.
wouldn't it be crazy to see a bunch of 'christian' lawyers locked arm-in-arm with hamas as they marched through the streets of east jerusalem? imagine the march from montgomery to selma, with all the moralizers fresh from yeshiva, boldly bestride the most-hippest of all causes du jour...only, this time they're graduates of georgetown law, university of texas, university of georgia, berkley, yale even...all marching boldly astride hamas -- so to bring the 'apartide' regime to naught. certain symmetry to it; don't ya think? the right to return is extended to EVERYBODY! now we can move into our enlightened utopia...bold & brave new world it is.
or, as the ole warden said in cool hand luke: if that's the way he wants it; that's the way he gits it...some men you just can't reach.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj60OAh7O5U
now, bibi, mark it well: things sorta sour for our hero at the end of this metaphor:

Every time I think about what lays ahead, I imagine we're with Hank Williams in his last hour. Drunk and tired in the backseat, soon to hit a tree.
"Well, my bucket's got a hole in it, my bucket's got a hole in it, yes my bucket's got a hole in it, I can't buy no beer." - Hank Williams (adopted as Ben Bernanke's night-time lullaby)
A tour de force Janus me lad. Thou showest a rare skill with quill & ink.
Methinks thou mightest have decidedly discerned the demise of these perfidious poltroons.
On another note, fell free to give my warmest regards to the 'Warden' if thou shouldst happen upon him on your travels.
nuyawkFrankie,
it means a lot...knowing, as i do, what a compliment like that means comming from one as well-read as you...merci, bon ami.
it may also interest you to know that i have spooked a few to their core in the back seat of my cab; certainly, i've spooked far more than a few... but the 'few' to whom i was referring in the preceeding clause are specific to the warden's closer associations.
no shit, two former generals in the IDF...both of whom began their service before or shortly after 48'...and then another uber-spooky type from MIT (probably not a good idea to further specify the identity of that last one) but his wife was with him at the time; so, gentleman that i am, i went sorta easy on him. also, one of my cabbie colleagues is a former IDF helicopter pilot and before that commando in their special forces -- but he doesn't know anybody, just a good soldier.
there are some super-duper heavy-weights living in that lil metro-city (sitting on the western line of boston's limit)...big time! there is, for example, one of this nation's most important synagogs not a half mile from my former residence. anytime there's a big wedding, you get the FULL (and i mean heavy) federal cordon -- helicopters, extending perimeters, listening stations...the works! that lil city is home to many, if not most, high-level professors from harvard, mit, BC, BU...and then there's the 'think tank' crowd.
the book is basically done...but i'm a bit remiss -- so very much i can't include. someday, maybe in memoirs...actually, probably not. i'll just share one or two of them with you face-to-face when i finally make it down nuyawk way. not long now.
here's a dedication from one of my all-time favorite 'self-hating-jews', who, like other great such-like (philip roth, btw, has been recently picked up by yours truly...and he's quite good, at times great) has this crazy notion that his greater obligation is to, and fuller identity is found within, the broader human community...crazy, i know.

WB7 The act of Hara-Kiri is one of honor. Obonzo doesn't have a shred of honor in his being and never will. Don't hold your breath for that weasel to do anything of the sort.
He'll take neither choice.
He will endeavor to persevere.
Endeavor to perservere...
Isn't that what they told the indians?
A quote from the great movie Outlaw Josie Wales. One of only 7 movies that I give 5/5 stars.
The white man has been sneaking up on me too lately.
Yeah - Little Big Man, "They told us, 'We vow, to endeavour, to persevere." Poignant then; poignant now.
great movie and brilliant catch.
i had some nebulous sense of its origin...couldn't place it.
gold star, dontgoforit.
They see the ongoing takedown as a multi-generational mission that will have pitfalls and setbacks on their grand journey.
we've been had. all of us. what was that line in Diehard? "you did all this to rob a bank?" Joe Frazier might have gone down to Ali...but he had to pulled from that ring before he went down.
happy veteran's day, brother.
ah, distinctly i remember; it was in the mid november some fifteen years ago that janus did, on this very day, officially enlist and enter meps there in ft. jackson, south carolina.
this song sung promptly at 5:00 am, prior to PT, and shortly after janus finished cleaning the drill pad's pidgeon poo (yup, i served with scrubber and canteen of potable water starting every morning at 4:30 sharp...i was also road-guard -- i don't even want to describe the indignity...far worse than pidgeon poo duty)...yeah, it was difficult singing with ghusto with a stomach screamin for breakfast...i sometimes miss those biscuits and gravy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHOq6Sl9u38
some of you may be thinking, janus, you're sorta hung-up on this 11-11 thing aren't you. some of you need to mind your own business.
whatever else sucks in america, we do have one first-rate armed forces...some of this country's very best, and a goodly share of its golden-boys.

(what the hell, no ad for david allen coe...goddam hippies!)
I remember when we thought our little town hit the big time. David Allen Coe - Live! On Stage!
On the big night we all showed up wearing our cleanest sombrero. When he finally rolled out, thirty minutes late, we were taken aback by his disheveled appearance. And knowing what he looked like beforehand, this was saying something. There he was in the lights - stone hammered and propped on a bar stool, yarbling songs. Years later I figured out it wasn't us rising, it was him falling.
But as memories go, Mr Coe is still gold to me. Forget the bad memories, embellish the good.
