Best. Twitter. Response. Ever.

From Scott at The Hayride:, one Congressman's classic tweet puts the last five years in sharp perspective.

And if you are not reading The Hayide, well, you should. Scott is on a roll.

We Won't Get Fooled Again. Well, Maybe.

Dear Readers, if you truly believe in individual liberty, limited government and the Constitution, remember this when you step up to the ballot box: A vote for the Libertarian Party candidate is really a vote for the Democrat candidate.

George Santayana, Call Your Office.

“Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.”

Well, Dear Readers, meet the the doomed generation:



This is our future. And you wonder why Obama was elected and re-elected?

Prediction Fail.

March 2013: Hanry Chao, one of the chief IT architects for the ObamaCare the "exchanges": "Let's just make sure it's not a Third-World experience."

October 2013: Yep. It's a Third-World experience.

I guess turning us into is Cuba is the transformative hope and change you millennials were looking for. With Zimbabwe's fiscal policy and Iran's tolerance thrown in for good measure.

The Barack Obama Work Ethic.

Welcome to America, transformed:

Lynd explained the cards weren't showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn't press charges if she left the food.

Lynd says at 9 p.m., when the cards came back online and it was announced over the loud speaker, people just left their carts full of food in the aisles and left.

UPDATE: More here.

UPDATE: And more over at The Hayride.

Oh, The Irony:

Seems Woody Guthrie wrote the ultimate Obama Shutdown protest song.

So let's all sing along with Woody's son, Arlo, - a fellow Libertarian Republican. You know the words.

Republicans should start singing this outside every closed monument, park, historic house, ocean, etc. And don't forget this stanza:

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.

This Man Has A Bright Future On CBS or CNN.

Want to know why Low-Information Voters tend to vote Democrat? Their deep, learned understanding of the Constitution and the Law. With stellar reasoning like that, you can see why they think Barack Obama is a "constitutional expert."

The Entire Obama Presidency Defined In One Single Picture.

Can a dramatic disaster event that can be blamed on the shut-down - say, a fire in the Reichstag - be far behind?

Sorry, But There Is No Other Way To Put This.

We have been completely and utterly fucked. Looks like that comparison of ObamaCare to the Fugitive Slave Act may be accurate after all.

So it's bloody high time the party of Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln remember it's roots and become, once again, the party to abolish slavery. Being owned by a government is no different, and no less repugnant, than being owned by another man.

A Funny SNL Skit?

Hell, I didn't even know they were on the air anymore.



Bet Loren Michaels got a pleasant phone call from Valerie Jarrett after this.

With Obama And Holder Calling The Shots, This Comes As No Surprise.

Greenville Wal-Mart Shooter Picked Victims By Race:

A man who shot four people near a Greenville Wal-Mart in June picked out his victims because they were white, according to several indictments handed down against him. (emphasis RSR)

Board of Education vs. Brown.

The Left / Mainstream Media (Academia Division) is bringing back 'separate but equal'.

Alas, the post title should really be 'Board of Education vs. White'. I mean, how soon will it be before Eric Holder turns the fire hoses on a Tea Party rally? The Left / Mainstream Media are already advocating their political opponents be killed - see this, and this.

What? You Were Actually Expecting Marcus Welby?

Remember hearing back in the summer when the Schutzstaffel, sorry, Mainstream Media, was reporting Team Hopenchange's upcoming full-cout media blitz to "sell" ObamaCare before the "exchanges" come online 1 October 1? Well, that's only 12 days off. I don't know about you, but, I haven't seen anything nationally pushing the joys of Kathleen Sebelius having access to your pap-smear results. But I have seen these:





Hattip: The Hayride.

Big Rock Candy Health Care.

This Tele-Tubby-level Oregon PSA aimed at 20-somethings is The Left / Mainstream Media's wet dream of Obamacare. All that's missing are a few unicorns and Obama's radiant face as the sun.



Hey, hipsters - news flash: You were "free to be healthy" long before ObamaCare, but you had to pay for it yourself for it like real grown-ups. Grown-ups are the people whose house you moved back into after you finished grad school and the Starbucks cut your hours to part-time.

Thank You For That Smackdown, Mr. Putin...

...May we have another?

President Obama declared that the United States is still prepared to act militarily to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons despite the decision to pursue a diplomatic deal and not strike Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.

The only people shaking in their boots over Barry's threats are those laughing that hard.

Liar, Liar, Mom-jeans On Fire!

Remember, dear readers, it was just last month The One claimed, "There is no spying on Americans."

Oops.

Today The Washington Post - yes, THAT Washington Post - says that Team Hopenchange had the restrictions on spying on Americans removed:

The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency’s use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans’ communications in its massive databases, according to interviews with government officials and recently declassified material.

And just who had those restrictions put into place to protect Americans privacy? WaPo is a bit vague on that:

The court in 2008 imposed a wholesale ban on such searches at the government’s request, said Alex Joel, civil liberties protection officer at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). (emphasis RSR)

Hmmm. Now what Administration was running the government back in 2008? I wonder...

Neville Again!

What if someone, say, P. J. O'Rourke, replaced famous figures in history with Barack Obama? You would get, well, this:

One if by land, and two if by sea, and three if by air, and four if by drones .  .  . Or is it two if by land, and one if by sea? .  .  . However, there will be no deployment of Colonial ground forces. So it’s two if by ship-launched cruise missiles .  .  . Or is it three if by airstrikes? .  .  . Anyway, the British aren’t coming.

That Red Line...

...Is getting much thinner. And yes, you said that, Mr. President.

The Old College Try.

Ever watch one of those lopsided college football games where a top-ranked university played some small-time regional school, and of course whipped their ass? Like, 70-0? And the best the commentators can say was the small school "tried their best"?

Well, that pretty much sums up this Hollywood excuse for going to war with Syria. Sadly, De Niro is right about Obama - he is trying his best. And therein lies the crux of most all our current problems, dear readers: Obama's best isn't good enough. We've sent Furman out to play LSU.
