Composite Americans (Mark Steyn)

National Review ^ | 5-4-2012 | Mark Steyn - Commentary

But being yourself is never going to be enough in the new composite America. Last week, in an election campaign ad, Barack revealed his latest composite girlfriend — “Julia.” She’s worse than the old New York girlfriend. She can’t even be herself. In fact, she can’t be anything without massive assistance from Barack every step of the way, from his “Head Start” program at the age of three through to his Social Security benefits at the age of 67. Everything good in her life she owes to him. When she writes her memoir, it will be thanks to a subvention from the Federal Publishing Assistance Program for Chronically Dependent Women but you’ll love it: Sweet Dreams from My Sugar Daddy. She’s what the lawyers would call “non composite mentis.” She’s not competent to do a single thing for herself — and, from Barack’s point of view, that’s exactly what he’s looking for in a woman, if only for a one-night stand on a Tuesday in early November.

To be a liberal is to be either intellectually lazy or intellectually dishonest....

Only the smart ones are dishonest.

The rest are lazy.

[neverdem]

I laughed til I cried.

Me too! The RNC or Romney needs to hire him. All the absurdities of the left need to be mocked withhout mercy.

Steyn is great

Julia can do almost anything, thanks to the forward-thinking and omniscient genius possessed by her creator, and the statutorily-imposed generosity of her human counterparts.
However, Julia has yet to develop the capacity to achieve success absent a considerable injection of federal funding or “stimulus,” often in the form of grants or loans. She was recently voted “Most Outgoing Volunteer Gardener” by the members of her commune.

Reason:

Steyn must be excerpted

Steyn must be excerpted? Then Steyn can KMA! I’ll never post anything of his again, damn Canadian pansy! LOL!

Pretty clever...They managed to include Crazy Joe. :-)

Julia thinks about many things, such as: fairness, NCAA basketball, and the disturbing behavior of a human-like counterpart known as a “Joe Biden.”

Martin Luther King dreamed of a day when men would be judged not on the color of their skin but on the content of their great-great-great-grandmother’s wedding-license application. And now it’s here!

Mark Steyn ping.

Freepmail me, if you want on or off the Mark Steyn ping list.

Thanks for the ping smoothsailing.

If Steyn could teach the Romney campaign to parody Obama half as well as he does, this would be the funniest political campaign ever.

More importantly, Obama can’t handle being made fun of. He would lose control, followed quickly by losing the election.

[Thebaddog]

That’s harsh. Although, it’s true.

[Taxman]

LIEberals are both intellectually lazy and intellectually dishonest!

That is why I refer to them as LIEberals!

[jazzo]

Complete hilarity, Mark is a true treasure. This is one of the funniest columns of his I have read in a while. Good lord, I cannot believe anyone takes these people seriously.

[Chgogal]

Way too funny!

[nikos1121]

It’s really not funny when you think that if it were any one of us, purporting to be a minority to get into school, we’d be in the clink right now...

[Wyatt's Torch]

Absolute classic. Fauxcahontas really got me. Brilliant.
