These Dems spin better than Rumpelstiltskin
Boston Herald ^ | 1/27/12 | Howie Carr

Posted on 01/27/2012 12:46:10 AM PST by raccoonradio

How profoundly America has changed since January 2009.

I was pondering this the other night during the State of the Union address. Did you know that our elite military units like the Navy SEALs are now examples of America at its absolute finest? Why, wasn’t it just a few years ago that Sen. Dick Durbin was comparing these very same troops to the Khmer Rouge and Joe Stalin’s Red Army?

What used to be Dick Cheney’s hit squad is now a beacon of freedom.

But now of course the president is a Democrat. When Durbin spoke a Republican resided in the White House.

Remember when Theo Epstein snubbed Republican George W. Bush when the rest of the Red Sox went to the White House after the 2007 World Series? Nobody said boo. Now Bruins goalie Tim Thomas does the same thing to our PC president and — hey, somebody get a rope!

Since January 2009, natural disasters are no longer the personal fault of the president.

Now that Obama is president, Gen. “Betrayus” is once again Gen. Petraeus, the greatest American military genius since MacArthur, no make that U.S. Grant.

George W. Bush played 30 rounds of golf in eight years and it was dereliction of duty. Obama’s played 80 in three years and it’s a well-deserved rest from his terrible burden of world leadership.

On Jan. 20, 2009, all the homeless people went home. Inflation ended that same day. No longer do dying Americans have to travel to Canada to buy affordable prescription drugs.

The Tea Party — violent rhetoric. Occupy Wall Street and the publicly defecating hippies — in the finest tradition of our Founding Fathers.

Bush mispronounces nuclear — idiot. Obama butchers corpsman — misspoke.

Raising the debt ceiling under Bush — the worst kind of fiscal irresponsibility. Raising the debt ceiling under Obama — a valiant effort by our young president to save the world economy.

McDonald’s jobs under Bush — “burger flipping.” McDonald’s jobs under Obama — entry-level jobs with one of America’s noblest public corporations.

Unemployment rate of 4.5 percent under Bush — “jobless recovery.” Unemployment rate of 8.5 percent under Obama — the new normal.

The Patriot Act under Bush — incipient fascism. The Patriot Act under Obama — yawn.

Words and phrases you haven’t heard since January 2009: “no blood for oil ... Cindy Sheehan ... not one more dime ... quagmire ... atrocities ... candlelight vigils ... not on our watch ... waterboarding ... Abu Ghraib...

Being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.

The struggle of the Left to rationalize its positions is an intolerable Sisyphean burden.

If it isn’t fresh, it isn’t Legal. Howie namedrops Roger Berkowitz into his new book Hard Knocks. Jack Reilly meets Herald reporter Katie Bemis at Legal and they get to eat for free...because Katie (a trust fund kid) knows Roger B.

It sure is a mess across America. Racial divide to class envy because there is no leader to unite the people. We have a beautiful experience here with our freedoms. Thank you to the veterans for that. Without them, we are truly lost. Now, we live to see the powerful ruining the culture, taking away our rights and treating us as though we are subjects to some crown. I am descent hard working person. I just don’t know how much more of this that I can deal with. If the establishment selects Romney to be the spokesperson for the party, we are completely doomed in having a 2 party system. Who will represent our voices? Rush has caused severe damage in the past 2 weeks because he has put his financial concerns before his integrity (no way around it, because it is true) We are at a crossroads. Rush cannot even be true to the very thing he says he admires with passion. He cannot stand up for Newt, one of Reagan own lieutenants. Both parties are much the same now. Newt should be forceful to carry the fight for reform and carry it out. Sign a contract ( Get in front of the camera-give s speech- sign a the declaration) promising the things that he will do— if he fails, he will agree to step down) I can’t believe so many people allow the corruption to take place. We are about to lose our country. Romney and the crown are the same Imo. The past few days, have been an eye opener of Rush Limbaugh. If Romney is selected, Obama will win because many people will be so disappointed with the system, the cause will not matter any longer. It is the future coming in not a change of direction. The establishment deserves to be fired, replaced and investigated-- both parties.. How are we ever going to do that, if we can't get together vs going back forth tearing down people. Newt and Palin are going to have to step this battle cry up.

Rumplestiltskin in the story produced real gold from straw. Not so the guardians of the printing presses . . .

I’m not an advocate for violence but it almost seems like the times are ripening for vigilante hit-squads that take it upon themselves to return our country to that which was created for us for our founding fathers.

For someone who’s not an advocate of violence you are periously close to advocating violence. Democracy is a terrible form of government. It’s just less terrible than every other form that’s ever been tried.

Shooting water up foreign, mass murdesr nose (waterboarding) bad. Killing U.S. Citizens and their families, under order of secret panel, good.

I’m merely making a prediction of what Jefferson suggested long ago: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
