Self Identification Leads to Weird Results




[From article]
Orwell imagined only a dystopia in which people could retroactively be made unpersons, but now we can retroactively change the facts of birth.



This level of madness portends the destruction of our civilization, and coincidentally or not, we face a certain percentage (one? five? twenty? who knows?) of a global population of roughly two billion that is dedicated to seeing that happen.

Obama Whines About How Racism Held Him Back and Hindered His Career




Imagine what Obama might have achieved if not for racism, and white privileges. What might have been. He deserves your sympathy, and your financial reparations for your white privilege, which held him back.

[From article]
“If you look at after what happened with Michael Brown, if you looked at what happened after Trayvon, if you looked at the decision after Eric Garner, I’m being pretty explicit about my concern, and being pretty explicit about the fact that this is a systemic problem, that black folks and Latinos and others are not just making this up,”

Dangers of The White House




[From article]
Coolidge explained the inherent dangers in the office of President of the United States, especially when one person remains in the White House too long.
"It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshippers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness.
"They live in an artificial atmosphere of adulation and exaltation which sooner or later impairs their judgment. They are in grave danger of becoming careless and arrogant."
Of presidents who served eight years in office, he said, "in almost every instance" the last years of their terms show little "constructive accomplishments" and those years are often "clouded with grave disappointments."

Obama Unable To See Clearly


It is difficult living in the DC bubble and keeping one's mind, CLearly Obama has become delusional. Some one has to tell him. 

[From article]
President Barack Obama insisted Tuesday night that he is not a very partisan president, speaking at an event for the Democratic National Committee.
“I will say, for all the Democrats around here,” the president said, “I’m not overly partisan.”
“The truth is, my favorite President is the first Republican president — he’s a guy named Abraham Lincoln,” Obama continued. “If you look at historically — Dwight Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System. And Richard Nixon founded the EPA. And historically, we have had bipartisan cooperation on big issues.”

Reality Is What I say It Is, Nothing More


[From article]
Barack Obama, the first president shaped by the celebratory culture in which every child who plays soccer gets a trophy and the first whose campaign speeches were his qualification for the office, perhaps should not be blamed for thinking that saying things is tantamount to accomplishing things, and that good intentions are good deeds. So, his presidency is useful after all, because it illustrates the perils of government run by believers in magic words and numbers.
[. . .]
Many of the words and numbers bandied by Obama and his administration may reflect an honest belief that the world is whatever well-intentioned people like them say about it. So, Obama’s critics should reconsider their assumption that he is cynical. It is his sincerity that is scary.

US in Denial


"After a decade of self-delusion and self-indulgence, we must stop deceiving ourselves. As Hurricane Katrina demonstrated, the "can-do" nation that won World War II in Europe and the Pacific in less than four years, that put a man on the moon in the same decade JFK said we would, is history.

We have a government that cannot balance its books, defend its borders or win its wars."
