Sipsey Street Irregulars: Now this headline is just plain hysterically funny.

Now this headline is just plain hysterically funny.

"Mitt Romney? A LEADER of the GOP? That's the best laugh I've had since 1919."

The Associated Press sez: "Mitt Romney's loss creates GOP leadership vacuum."

This sock-puppet was forced upon the party by the real GOP leadership who were frightened of the prospect of a Tea Party-backed candidate. They got, in return, exactly what they did with Bob Dole and John McCain and what they deserved with Dubya in 2000. But don't try to sell me on the notion that Romney was some sort of principled political LEADER. He was an opportunist who had his head handed to him by an opponent who should have been easily beaten. So much for Karl Rove and his gang's reputed "political savvy."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The entire GOP is a Parallel Universe filled with a vacuum of dark matter..between their ears. Mittens is a half-wit..on a good day, but since the GOP suffers from a mass lobotomy, they couldn't distinguish rock hard stupidity from plain ole dumb. Had they understood the Laws of Classical Stupidity..well, they might have fooled "all" the people..ie..Oblabla's team understood The Stupidity Theory of Politics...

"If x is the population of the United States and y is the degree of imbecility of the average American, then democracy is the theory that x times y is less than y."

Damn, ain't science amazing? Unfortunately though, they underestimated the Third Law of Thermodynamic Stupidity:

"Entropy, the spontaneous disorganization of matter, is universal and always proceeds from organization to disorganization. Stupidity will invariably progress from a disorganized state to larger and larger disorganized units that will eventually consume the entire universe."

It's time for a new party that stands on the principles of our founding, win or lose even though it appears that a majority of the voters aren't bright enough to recognize or appreciate what we are losing. Smells like a battle brewing.; December 2, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Mike,
Your assessment agrees with an opinion I've held/expressed for two + decades. I.e. our bicameral/two-party system is being subverted by both the participants and the media. Increasingly there's little difference to foster a real voter choice between candidates/parties offered. The sole constant is both sides - and the media - unite to oppose any serious opposition arising from the vox populi !

IOW, we're losing our nation and governing philosophy to the machinations of our "masters". ! Having incrementally surrendered our rights as citizens over decades we're now going to be forced to "leap the shark" and sheep-like accept massive government intrusion into our personal, financial and private lives ! >Jeff; December 2, 2012 at 5:01 PM
John Otis Comeau said...: thanks for this, better late than never. I was hoping for more of this sentiment before the election, but the "hold your nose and vote for Romney" idea was about all I was seeing. now we're stuck with Obama and *still* never sent a message to the GOP that we're tired of their neocons and pseudocons.; December 2, 2012 at 7:03 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
