Hussein is the RIGHT MAN AT THE RIGHT TIME!!!
Two thumbs up! [Mark Steyn]
Senator Obama may talk about "restoring America's reputation", but Governor Palin is actually doing it. After the deplorably emolient multilateralist Bush second term, the world's sophisticates haven't been this pumped about America the halfwit hyperpower since the heady heyday of the "swaggering cowboy moron" of the early 21st century. All over the world, condescending cosmpolitans are putting their backs out bending down to paste "ALASKA" over the third word in their hilarious "SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS A VILLAGE IS MISSING AN IDIOT" bumper stickers.
From the CBC up north (Canadians' tax dollars at work), Heather Mallick:
She added nothing to the ticket that the Republicans didn't already have sewn up, the white trash vote, the demographic that sullies America's name inside and outside its borders... Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are... the stolidly Republican ladies branch of Citizens for a Tackier America... rural, loud, proudly unlettered (like Bush himself)... Palin has a toned-down version of the porn actress look favoured by this decade's woman... Bristol has what is known in Britain as the look of the teen mum, the "pramface"...
In The Guardian, Linda Grant is more circumspect:
The conviction by the left that the right is stupid is one of the defining and least attractive characteristics of contemporary politics. Assuming that anyone who disagrees with you is too dim to get your point is not itself a particularly brainy way to win others over...
But hey, why let that stop you, Linda?
Were I an East Coast Democrat, which is the only kind of American I can ever imagine being, I would have no objection to small-town Republicans - to their church-going and their hunting rifles and their flag-decked porches and their meatloaf with gravy, and their lemon chiffon cake. I could admire their intimacy with the wide prairie and the vast sky.
The problem is that when they're running the whole country, they want to take away abortion rights, drill for oil in Alaska (a Palin policy), ignore climate change, and start unwinnable wars. With the small-town Republican mindset in charge, the rest of America and the rest of the world is forced to live by small-town values, which aren't much help when you're trying to decide what, if anything, can be done about Iranian nuclear ambitions or more humbly, workplace date rape.
Ha! Under the lash of Sarah Palin, even the moose are being lined up for workplace date rape.

An Obama is what we will get if we don’t stop this consolidation of the world governments into one Global community under something like the UN.
Moose Blarney [Mark Steyn]
Our pal Jay Nordlinger was on Irish radio yesterday, and several callers objected to Sarah Palin on the following grounds:
The woman shoots moose, as did Teddy Roosevelt, a long time ago. Only in TRs day, there were many more moose Sarah endangers a species.
Absolutely backwards, but an interesting example of how the progressive mind prefers to obsess on entirely fictional crises. There were far fewer moose in Teddy's day. Today there are more moose than a century ago, in Alaska, Canada, New England. In New Hampshire in the mid-19th century there were fewer than 15 in the whole state. Now NH sees more than 250 killed every year just in highway collisions - before Sarah even has a chance to load. We are awash in moose. We have a moose surplus.
And as you'd expect me to add, being NR's in-house demography bore, on present population trends the Italians, Germans and Spaniards will be extinct long before the moose. But no Irish radio listeners seem to be worried about them.
(I wonder if there's a Bog Trotters 4 Bog Trotters* lobby group over there.)
(*Don't bother with the "Racist!" emails. I'm Irish.)
What are you going to do? Show us your teeth? Export your food to the USA? Withdraw your ambassadors and close your embassy?
As I said on another thread: The world wants Obama to win for the same reason that the rest of the NFL is secretly happy that Tom Brady is out for the rest of the season...
Message tot he Guardian and the World,
If you don’t like it, come and get us.
They all can see he is a dud and and easy pushover...just what they want!
Moving the Oscars to Belgium? Yeeeeeessssssss!
The US is not fighting 2 wars. We are fighting 1 war on 2 fronts. The war against Islamo-fascism. A war that will not be won by the next administration or the next or the next. But indeed a war that must be won.
But that one paragraph beats every other political screed put out this week.
Foreign leftists like the Guardian guy, who want America to go socialist like them, are among America's enemies. They are friends of individual Americans, perhaps, and like their visits, but they hate the traditional America, its religion, freedom and the independence of its people. They want us to be miserable like them, and Obama would guarantee it. They want us to be submissive and weak in foreign affairs, like they are, and Obama would guarantee that.
Well, tough luck, buddy. Good luck with that dying nation you created. We'd like to keep ours.
Another point. Doesn’ the secretary general of the UN have to come from a third world country? Isn’t Kenya and Indonesia part of the third world? Hussein has his calling!
Well then let him run for U.N grand pooh bah.

Translating the “world’s verdict” comment: If you stupid Americans persist in your desire to resist world-wide Marxist economic theories and total governmnent domination of everything including the right to burp unless we say you can, we’ll hold our breath until we turn blue.
If Obama wins, what seems very unlikely now, Mark will not be able to make comments about leaders of the country like he made about president Bush - this is completely illegal under a socialist government. I know it for sure ... because I lived in socialist Poland for over 28 years.
