Our Year 2 A.B.
pajamas media ^ | 7/12/10 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/12/2010 8:32:36 AM PDT by Nachum

For any of those who went into a coma around January of last year and just woke up, let me explain this new era after Bush (A.B.), variously known as “this is our moment,” “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for,” and the era when the “planet healed” and the seas “receded.”

In sum, in the year 2 AB, your fossilized world thankfully no longer quite exists. Global warming is “climate change” and its data is “interpreted” rather than blindly “followed.” Natural calamities like the old Katrina hurricane were really man-caused disasters; and man-caused disasters like the new BP spill and the federal reaction to it were really unpreventable natural disasters. Bill Clinton, John Edwards, and Al Gore are men-of-the-people feminists who need comfort, not tawdry womanizing mansion-aficionados.

I thought the politically correct term was B.O.E. (Before Obama Era)

You know, in case Obama's really just a figment of our imagination.

Besides the obvious 1984 references, what is really striking is how many of us knew the inevitable fall of Barack would be entertaining. The icing on the cake is the fashion by which he is falling. Teleprompterspeaking his way to defining ‘The One’ as his number of terms.

I’d prefer any of these initials to the “B.C.E.” the elitists are trying to foist upon us (stealthily, mind you).

"The only bad thing about the new age of “After Bush” is that he never quite left.

$1.7 trillion annual deficits? Bush did it. Another $3 trillion plus to the deficit? All Bush. GM bailout? Bush’s fingerprints. Afghanistan heats up? Bush again.

A ruined Gulf? Bush and his oil cronies. Falling polls for President Obama? The legacy of the Bush racism. Guantanamo open? Bush’s people. Higher taxes? The Bush deficits.

In the age of “After Bush,” everything that is now good comes despite him, everything that is still bad is because of him. Remember that — and that is all ye need to know."

LOL! Great article!

I’ll add one that I saw on CNN today. It’s no longer ‘Oil Spill’ or ‘Oil Spill Disaster”..the new term CNN is using when reporting on the oil spill is ‘Oil Recovery’. It sounds so much better and helps to protect the One....(eye roll)
