If you want to see teary eyes and hear shaky voices, get some trade unionist types with a few drinks in them talking about what a horror the 1948 Republican Congress and the Taft-Hartley Amendment to the National Labor Relations Act are. They’ve been plotting their revenge since 1948! The aging SDSers have been plotting the takeover of the government since they first cooked it up smoking dope in a college dorm room in 1968. These people are not going to waste a good crisis! They have a pretty good playbook going. Pour a bunch of cash into their interest groups. Let the economy fester some more and talk it down so that everyone beleives that everything is totally broken. Get a little civic unrest going because “not enough is being done.” Blame the fact that not enough is being done on Conservatives generally and talk radio specifically. Pass card check. (Card check is the only solution for the UAW mess. They have to get the transplant costs up to the legacy cost level and there’s only one way to do that; put them on the UAW contract. If they have the votes to pass card check, they have the votes to repeal right to work, and they will – they have to to save UAW.) Muzzle conservative talk radio, which they can do with measures short of re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine. Then, you look around in a couple or three years and you have a huge Democratic-Labor Party financed by compelled dues and a Country in which well over half of the res publica is on the dole in some fashion. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.

That was just intolerable to most of them. Fred Forever. I’d vote for him for anything, anytime, anywhere. I can’t wait to hear him on the radio. Although somehow I have a vision of a lot of us listening to him on cobbled together shortwave radios in the dark in the basement like Poland under Russian domination listening to Radio Free Europe.

Yes I know…too early to think about 2012…but after the first three weeks of this administration how can one not think ahead.

Oh how I am missing Romney as President right about now. How the heck did we not nominate him over McCain?

Alas, we must now learn the hard way what happens when America gives the foxes unfettered access to the hen house.

Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Heck no!

or slightly modified Baghdad Bob speak

“Faltering forces of infidel Democrats cannot just win an election and lay besiege to them! They are the ones who will find themselves under siege. Therefore, in reality whatever this miserable Reed/Palosi has been saying, he was talking about his own forces. Now even the Democratic command is under siege.”

Buck up Buckaroo.

And though it is a military analogy and they have their limits in politics; we lost a pivotal battle. We really didn’t see what the enemy had done to change its methods of fighting and we only half-ass prepared even for fighting the last war. They rolled over the hill with armor and machine guns and we had muzzleloaders.

Welcome to the guerilla.

Werewolf of London is my fav.
