Addressing Iowa Democrats, Obama frames 2012 race as one ‘for our children’

“Part of what 2012 is about is both reminding the American people of how far we’ve traveled and the concrete effects that some of our work … but part of it is also framing this larger debate about what kind of country are we going to leave for our children and our grandchildren,” he said. ~dailycaller.com

Thanks asshole. Please have four more years to complete your total destruction of America.

Unemployment is skyhigh. Obama’s agenda is to spend more.

Some people don’t have healthcare. Obama’s agenda is to spend more.

—George Washington

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – An elderly Upper East Side woman claims a sanitation agent chased her, threatened her with arrest and slapped her with a ticket for putting day-old newspapers in a city trash can. ~newyork.cbslocal.com

This is the stuff of fiction. A fantasy tale spun by Orwell or Rand. Surely the busybodies aren’t at this level yet?! Yes. Yes they are.

I know I’m slow and behind on this, but – from Gore’s Feb. 27 New York Times op-ed We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change (h/t Borepatch):

From the standpoint of governance, what is at stake is our ability to use the rule of law as an instrument of human redemption.

Human redemption. Through the instrument of rule of law.

Al Gore, Barack Obama, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, et al– they are all our saviours! Of course, how could I have been so blind? All this time I just thought they wanted to stomp all over my rights and direct every aspect of my life. But in reality, because of my flawed nature, they have been trying to redeem me and make me holy, just like them!

The joke is that instead of creating fairness and cooperation what the statists do is create cronyism and corruption by design.

Is it the  business of government to be in business? To partnership with some businesses in competition with other businesses? Can the government fairly regulate an industry in which they have invested taxpayer dollars with some of the players? Can they fairly investigate allegation of unfair trade or practices when they are in business with those businesses?

America Mired in Morass of Laws and Regulations

One nation, under too many laws

Wisdom knows now temporal boundaries.  Truth is truth today just as it was thousands of years ago. Why? Because men haven’t changed and the relationships of society and government haven’t changed. Modern government is no more perfect than ancient government. There is no less danger of tyranny today because we live in a progressive or later age; man is fallen, corruptible, fallible, and mistaken now as he ever was.

Hugo Chávez extended stay in a Cuban hospital is because he is in critical condition, according to a report in El Nuevo Herald.

The Venezuelan president, who was last seen in public June 9 and last heard from on June 12, on a phone call with Venezuelan state television, was said to have been treated for a pelvic abscess in Cuba. ~latino.foxnews

It’s sad really. Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Harry Belefonte, et al, and old what’s-her-name will be devastated.

Global warming: the useful crisis that wasn’t.

It’s painfully clear now that Global warming was nothing more than a vehicle for international socialism. This kind of scaremongering is what the discredited religion of collectivism has been reduced to. Logic and reason contradicts the warmist so they become more and more religious in their fervor to impose drastic change upon our society. A society they already deem evil and immoral. Capitalism is the target.

“People [who] are alive today have been placed at a point in history that puts on us the burden of action that is almost unimaginable in the context of human history,” Gore said.

“We are the most powerful force of nature now. We are literally changing the relationship between the Earth and the Sun,” he said. “It has the capacity to bring civilization itself to a dead halt.” ~Al Gore, July 2008
