The U.S. Supreme Court will be taking on the lawsuit filed by more than two dozen state attorneys general to stop Obamacare from being implemented. Oral arguments will take place over the winter, and a decision released in late spring that will have a large impact on a presidential election that will be in full swing by then.  Should Obamacare be ruled unconstitutional, it will be a major body blow to Obama’s re-election chances.

Perhaps that’s why Obama and the left are doing their level best to stack the panel and rig the outcome.

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was appointed by Obama and was formerly his Solicitor General. Her job responsibility was to represent the administration in any court proceedings in which the federal government was a party to the case. Often, this entails anticipating legal challenges to the implementation of legislation, executive branch regulations and executive orders.

The leftist propaganda machine formerly known as “the media” has reached a new low this week, trying its best to eliminate from the 2012 campaign via a manufactured “scandal” a candidate in Herman Cain that represents not only a threat to the re-election of the president whom they all but single-handedly elected with their slobbering adulation four years ago, but also the risk of a permanent re-alignment should he be victorious.

In this, they have graduated from a mere DNC spin machine to an outright hit squad, wielding microphones and cameras like weapons, as if they were swords and shields. And their determination is so single-minded that they no longer care if they themselves have a single tiny shred of credibility left.

To actually have the chutzpah to hit Cain with something as flimsy as this, after doing everything they could to cover up for a real compulsive sex predator in President Clinton and to outright bury John Edwards’ adulterous paternity, is the ultimate extreme in hypocritical double standards. There isn’t a word in the English language sufficient to describe this galling treatment.

I wish I understood the otherwise inexplicable lure of the Marxist class warfare the left embraces almost as a religion. Even if it were somehow correct, it would still represent a miserable way to life one’s life:  jealous, angry, covetous, and more importantly idle, irresponsible, and dependent, waiting to be taken care of by the false god of government.

This sort of approach is fundamentally incompatible with being a free person living in liberty. In order to have the freedom to make choices for oneself, one must accept full and sole responsibility for the consequences. By the same token, one should not be and indeed cannot be responsible for anyone else.

We are all individually endowed by our Creator with the inalienable right to life, liberty, and pursue happiness – though not necessarily to achieve it, since true freedom must allow for the possibility of failure as well as success, else success would have no meaning – but when another claims to have a right to a portion of your private property merely by drawing breath, you are effectively enslaved by that parasite. Your liberty is infringed upon and your life isn’t entirely your own.

Two months still remain in 2011, but the year’s theme has already been inexorably set. From the “Arab spring” to Wisconsin public employee unions, to flash mobs looting stores to the Occupy [Insert Location Here] radicals, to lifeless losers nearly rioting outside the Casey Anthony trial acquittal, and even Libyan extremists nearly carving up Moammar Gadhafi alive before brutally murdering him, there can be no question that this is the year that the angry mob came to the forefront.

And it’s a trend that has shown no sign of abating, which does not bode well for the endurance of civilization and the rule of law.

The common trend running through all these situations is the quick, instinctive turning to force – if not violence – when the system, whatever it may have entailed, didn’t deliver the result a particular group of people desired or demanded. It is the adult equivalent of a toddler’s temper tantrum, thrown in the hopes of manipulating mom and dad into abandoning the rules they previously laid down in order to keep the peace. Except that in this case, whoever is in the role of “parent” doesn’t necessarily have the power to either disregard or stop the tantrum and could well wind up hurt or dead at the hands of the raging child.

Yet another Republican presidential “debate” was held last night in Nevada, and it followed the about the same script as all the rest of them:  the biased moderator of the biased network airing it asks one falsely premised “gotcha” question after another;  the much-too-numerous candidates meekly oblige in answering them in 30-60 second sound bites, looking ever less presidential in the process (and in the case of Romney and Perry, downright juvenile); and, right on cue, the circular firing squad forms once again as the real target – President Obama – is scarcely even mentioned, much less gone after full-bore by every participant, as he should be.

That sound you hear is Obama laughing hysterically as he sits upon his billion bucks of campaign cash, ready to viciously smear so as to finish off whomever his media allies have spent the primaries bloodying up (and, if it’s Romney, forcibly crowning as early as possible). After all, he can’t run on his own awful record, not that you’d know he has one if you’ve watched these absurd “debate” spectacles.

Are we really supposed to believe that a bunch of fools too blind to see how they’re being manipulated and controlled has what it takes to defeat a megalomaniacal street punk who’ll be more than happy to unleash his ranks of ignorant and psychotic leftist radicals to occupy something other than Wall Street? Are we supposed to place our hope in one of a group who can’t even manage to demand that their debates be aired and moderated by people not explicitly part of the opposition?

Now that the Republican presidential primary field has been set, the contest is really about one thing only: whether the beltway GOP establishment and the media can force a liberal Mitt Romney upon the conservative base, thereby setting up a general election that will be no choice at all and ensure that those currently in power stay there regardless of its outcome.

To be sure, the most prevalent sentiment among conservative primary voters is not so much for any particular candidate but against Romney.  I’ve often thought that if a candidate simply changed his surname to NotRomney, that line on the ballot would win in a landslide.

This is due in part to overall dissatisfaction with the entire field; one cannot help but look at the group and think “if this is all we can come up with when the nation hangs in the balance, the Republic is finished.” It’s hard to look at any of them and see them reversing, rolling back, or undoing anything Obama has done to so badly damage the country. Most of them won’t even try, and the couple that just might don’t strike you as ones who would succeed.

As insane as Obama’s insistence on trillions of dollars of tax hikes on top of tax hikes on top of tax hikes is – his just-announced plan on top of Obamacare’s implementation starting and the Bush tax rates expiring on January 1, 2013 – there is also a usefulness to it all. And it can help to substantially change the political universe for the better come November 2012.

Not only has Obama pulled a Walter Mondale 1984 and set up himself up for a massive defeat on the same scale as the 49-state landslide wipeout loss that Mondale had to Ronald Reagan, but he might also just have created an electoral tsunami that will have down-ballot carryover.  Instead of following the Clinton rule of being as liberal as you want so long as you sound as conservative as possible while doing it (which admittedly requires being a very smooth liar, as Clinton was) and triangulating when necessary, Obama has been the hardcore far-left ideologue many of us knew he was while the media worshipped their phony messiah in 2008 and bamboozled far too many voters into falling for his bulls**t.

It’s not just a matter of Obama having already lost the independents and trying to keep his base from leaving him while there’s still time for them to find a primary opponent to rally around, combined with offering non-existent bills that he knows the GOP House won’t consider so he can run against a “do-nothing Congress”. (And if trillion-dollar tax hikes are the only thing that can be done, then “do nothing” is a badge that the GOP House should wear with pride and honor. Lord knows that Democrat Senators up in 2012 are fleeing from this the fastest of all, since you can’t gerrymander a state.)

In driving the economy and the country off a cliff, President Obama has performed one useful function: he has woken up a lot of previously ignorant people to the complete intellectual and moral bankruptcy of liberalism. After all, it doesn’t take a genius to look at how awful his incomprehensively gargantuan expansions of government have made things and realize that if these delusional ideas of his were even a tiny bit true, that things should be much better than they are.

To use a metaphor, Obama has, through taxing, spending, and regulating to near-infinite levels, jacked up the heat to maximum under the pot of boiling water and the frog in it that is the American people now might just jump out to safety rather than sit there and slowly but steadily cook to death as they had been doing in accepting a relentlessly growing federal government ever since FDR’s New Deal.

The last three days could not illustrate better just how far American politics have fallen as of late, and what it will take to resuscitate it and the nation from the coma into which President Obama has put it.

Start with tonight’s Republican Debate. One could call them the Seven Dwarfs, so little do they look while they obediently jump through the ridiculous hoops presented to the by the biased media that effectively works for Obama.

And even when they have glimmer of understanding how obviously they’re being manipulated, as Newt Gingrich did when he criticized moderator Brian Williams of NBC News for trying to instigate squabbles amongst them rather than allowing them to target Obama, they still stupidly play the game. After all, this was a MSNBC/Politico debate – what the hell else did the seven fools think they were going to get from two blatantly liberal outlets? If any of them really believed in what Newt said, to say nothing of having an ounce of strategic thinking, they would never have bothered showing up for this rigged dog-and-pony show in the first place!

The debt ceiling fight that has just ended exposed everything that is wrong with Washington and why they have left us hurtling for a financial cliff off which, at this point, it seems impossible to avoid plunging. The insane Democrats wouldn’t know reality if it hit them upside the head with a baseball bat, and in many ways they are beginning to resemble a brainwashed cult. The Republicans, despite some Tea Party backbone in the backbenches, are their usual gutless selves and will do anything to avoid facing down the Democrats head on.

And all this over “cuts” that don’t even exist, as we stay on our spendaholic autopilot with increases as far as the eye can see despite uncountable trillions in debt. We are rapidly reaching a point where there are but two options: fight or flight. We can either storm Washington and get in the face of every incumbent, understanding that they will unleash the very hounds of hell to destroy anyone and everyone who would seriously threaten their power, or we can “go Galt” and get off the grid every way possible in preparation for surviving the coming economic cataclysm.

But first, a brief accounting of how delusional beltway politicians have gone through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole to their very own Wonderland: Read the rest of this entry »
