		<description>The revolution of moral equivalence has finally vanquished the status quo of good and evil. The most moral men and women can do now is pondered just where in the hell did we go wrong?

I think it may have started in the kindergartens but am certain that it went entirely amok in our colleges. The Left took control of our children and finally the entirety of our national psyche. We will mourn its loss for many decades to come. 

Order is not formed from dry clay.</description>

		<description>Hopefully, aunt Zeituni Onyango will get more than her own $264 back from the President before she casts off this mortal coil.

...a shame the Grandkids missed that PROMISED last meeting.
Will Reverend Wright officiate at the funeral?</description>

		<description>“I think their triumph is not only illusory but a prelude to a disaster they cannot even begin to fathom.”

I look at Obama’s stated objectives, more taxes but only for those who pay them, bankrupting any company that tries to build a new coal fired power plant and with it shutting down the coal industry, not drilling for any new oil either on or offshore, that gas prices were not too high at over $4.00 a gal, and what Da Man himself describes as rapidly increasing electric power rates.  

And then what must accompany that.  To keep the unions happy some of the new tax money will go to satisfy the union leaders.  And unemployment benefits will be expanded and extended.  When all this makes the economy falter, new trade protectionism will result.  And new programs will be devised to fix the failures of the other programs, and so, ad infitium.
        
The only short term answer to all this will be massive but quiet civil disobedience.  The black market economy will expand greatly and into new areas, such as energy production.  Continued long enough, as in the USSR and Eastern Europe, this will produce a widespread disdain for all laws as well as the elites themselves.  Stealing your neighbor’s chickens will become just another way of sticking it to Da Man.

Example:  New York City has very, very high cigarette taxes.  So something like 70% of the cigarettes sold there are black market, hauled up from North Carolina by all and sundry as well as The Mob.  Imagine that on a National scale, and not just with cigarettes.  People WILL find a way.

How’s that for a vision of the future for you, Eggplant?</description>

&quot;The Left has gained its current advantages by weakening the society on which it is a parasite... I think their triumph is not only illusory but a prelude to a disaster they cannot even begin to fathom.  But however that may be, the current situation creates the opportunity to advance constructive ideas.&quot;

I&#039;m having trouble advancing those contructive ideas while the words &quot;disaster they cannot even begin to fathom&quot; are bouncing around inside my head.  Unfortunately, I can fathom what many of those disasters could be and find myself starting to whimper.</description>
