Sipsey Street Irregulars: Don't cry for him, Argentina (nor should anybody else for that matter).

Don't cry for him, Argentina (nor should anybody else for that matter).

Jeff Greenfield is still thinking inside the box, as if the paradigm hasn't shifted: Democratic Blues: Barack Obama will leave his party in its worst shape since the Great Depression—even if Hillary wins.

This has never been about traditional politics as a metric of success. It has always been about wrecking the country and dividing it up into as many little feuding pieces as possible so that this country's traditional enemies -- from within and without -- can achieve our defeat in detail. By that standard, Barack Obama has done exactly what he set out to do and thanks to the corruption and weakness of his pretended enemies in the GOP elites he has been a stunning success.

LATER: And in a related thread -- Why Obama is torpedoing Hillary Clinton: The president craves a successor who will preserve his legacy

Beyond the bad blood, however, Mr. Obama has a more important reason for doing her in. As I have written previously, he needs a successor he can control. Over the years, including recently, he has waxed rhapsodic over a possible third term to continue his “fundamental transformation of the nation.” Mrs. Clinton will not provide it; therefore, she must be sidelined. If Mr. Obama does not want an investigation to go forward, it does not go forward. Witness the scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service, Benghazi, Veterans Administration and Operation Fast and Furious gunrunning. . .

The Democratic ticket will be Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren. That’s what Mr. Obama wants. And what Mr. Obama wants, Mr. Obama gets. This is “Game of Thrones.” And Mr. Obama is winning.

Pat H. said...: The south, because we're actually a genuine nation, has always been separate and distinct.

Now that we're in the throes of Reconstruction III, we're preparing to leave the rest of the United States to stew in their morass of depravity, immorality, and unGodly behavior.

Anonymous said...: This is why Donald Trump has so much support. The FOLKS know full well he is the only fat cat who went after Obama's lack of eligibility. Media hacks do not want to admit it, but folks want Trump as President to nail Obama and his drama to the wall!

Of course Obama wants someone to protect his legacy. That is exactly why the GOPe is so dead set against Trump. The next president WILL have an (R) after their name and he wants to make sure it is a John Boehner or Mitch McConnell rino. He knows full well that a rino is his best protector.; August 21, 2015 at 1:50 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
