But even so, to be born a U.S. citizen is, as Cecil Rhodes once said of England, to win first prize in the lottery of life.

Damn straight, Mr. Steyn!

God Bless America!

“Imagine their confusion if the assassin turned out to be a Moo fulfilling his Mohamedan injunction to “kill all apostates”.....”

That confusion would last less than 15 nano-seconds. The new talking points would be out before the man hit the ground. These points would be:

- We need to ban firearms.
- We need to reach out to Muslims rather than bomb them.
- Proof positive that we need to change America and elect a democrat who will make that change come true.

But this bizarre person is absolutely broiling in hate, and would rather see Obama sacrificed so he can whoop it up

You're so right (correct).

I’m an agent of change. Change will bring us change. Only change can change when we change our change. Change your socks. Change your underwear. Change the lining in your cabinets. Change will change things. I’ve got change for a quarter, change for a dollar, change for your baby’s diaper. Change through change can change us all. Change. Change. Change. Change your cat’s litter box, change your oil, change your lipstick, change your mind. Change can do it all.

Vote for change to change your change.

How I wish I could write like Steyn:

“... Ah, but for the armchair insurgents of the Western Left, the vicarious frisson is more than delicious enough. Anything else would interfere with dinner plans...”

OUCH...Game...Set...Match!

These are the folks who invented the word Barbarian and continue to perpetuate it.

McCain and Congress pass laws to outlaw Waterboarding.

Go Figger.

unlike the whose-turn-is-it? GOP, Mrs. Clinton's crowd generally picks the new kid on the block: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. I wonder if Hillary Rodham, Goldwater Girl of 1964, ever wishes she'd stuck with her original party.

Good point......

Barack Obama is a Seinfeld Candidate. You can see him how you want to - and a lot of people do.

Earl MacRae warned Canadians in The Ottawa Sun:

"To be black and catapulting toward the presidency on charm, intellect and popularity is unacceptable to the racist paranoid and scary in America the beautiful. … They do not want to hear that he is a better American than they are, these right-wing extremist fascists in the land of America who no doubt believe it's God's will Barack Obama not get to the White House, no method of deterrence out of bounds, in their zealotry to protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Mom's apple pie and the cross of Jesus in every home."


Damn, I think Earl may have had an orgasm while writing that. Actually I can't stop giggling at this. Its really hilarious. ROY ROGERS, FASCIST MONSTER!!!! That same sweet, juicy, crazy right there!

“On the other hand, if you’re running for president not as an unexceptional first-term senator with a thin resume but as the new Messiah, the new Kennedy, the new Gandhi, the new Martin Luther King, you can’t blame folks for leaping ahead to the next stage in the mythic narrative. Around the world, a second instant subgenre has sprung up in which commentators speculate how long it will be before some deranged Christian-fundamentalist neo-Nazi gun-nut deprives America of its fleeting wisp of glory. Setting a new standard for fevered, slavering Obama assassination porn, Earl MacRae warned Canadians in The Ottawa Sun:

Did you read the article? Mark Stein is Quoting a LIBERAL in the Ottawa SUN.

Exactly. Both the Republican and Democrat candidates ignore all these problems in a cynical attempt to pander for votes in the middle. This country faces serious problems of the nature Steyn describes and all McCain and Obama offer are Sesame Street platitudes.

“He’s cashing in on a TV driven uneducated public.”

To a degree. I think the black community feels it has a Moses figure on its hands to lead them out of DNC bondage.

They have “known” for all their lives it was impossible to believe a black man could be the leader of the FREE world.

That, coupled with the fact he is plainly head and shoulds above Hillary as a candidate (charisma, charm, inspiration, speaking skills) and you have a black community unwilling now to accept any attempt to take him down with dirty tricks. He is a lock.

The spectical of a monumental breakthrough moment for blacks and their guilt ridden white friends trumps issue position, regardless of potential consequence.
