UPDATED: Statism Starts With YOU! (Chuckie Misses Bush)

The following is from “Statism Starts With YOU!”, now on WND.Com:

“Why did federal regulators not intervene sooner? A tragedy could have been averted. That was the first demand made following the accidental death of 8 spectators, and the injury of 12, at the California 200 off-road race. The derby was held in the Mojave Desert, in the Lucerne Valley. The driver of one of the racing trucks lost control of his vehicle, flipped and landed on bystanders, who are in the habit of getting as close as they possibly can to the tracks.”

“Evidently, what draws fans of desert racing to the sport, attest Phil Willon and David Zahniser of the Los Angeles Times, is the ‘the danger, dust and noise of watching 3,500-pound trucks roaring past — close enough almost to touch — and then rocketing into the air over treacherous jumps with nicknames like ‘the rock pile.'”

It’s all great fun until something goes terribly wrong. Then it’s someone else’s fault.” …

This tragedy, off-the-beaten-track, well illustrates the dynamics of state encroachment. Statism always and everywhere begins with The People.”

UPDATE (Aug. 20): “I miss Bush intensely,” said one of the main Republican ideologues, Charles Krauthammer. “Iraq ended this week fairly successfully. And the economy, Obama purchased with the stimulus; it’s his economy.”

That’s the depth of the thinking of your above-average Republican.

UPDATE II: The Latest Mrs. Limbaugh (Ditto Heads)

Conservatism, Media, Morality, Pop-Culture, The Zeitgeist

Silly me; I had imagined that the fourth marriage of an iconic American conservative, at the ripe age of 59, would be a little less ostentatious than Michelle Obama’s disco party for Mexican President Felipe Calderon. No such luck.

The latest Mrs. Limbaugh is half his age. Not unattractive; she’s certainly a trophy wife. The boob job is identifiable a mile away. I see identical mounds everywhere around me.

“Serial monogamists” is how Larry Auster thinks of “the Republican Party’s three major stars—Gingrich, Giuliani, Limbaugh,” who’ve “reached a milestone,” since all three have been married three times.

“With this trinity of thrice-married ‘conservative’ deities on tap, who knows what wonders 2012 might bring? Perhaps a Gingrich-Giuliani presidential ticket, with Limbaugh presiding at the inaugural ceremony.”

Run for cover.

UPDATE: “I’M A SINGLE LADY.” Men, especially powerful wealthy ones, have always been able to court younger women. The kind way to put it is that power and wealth are aphrodisiacs to women. The harsher reality is this: to be prepared to bed an older, overweight man (albeit with means), a young woman in her prime is probably also greedy (there are exceptions, of course).

I don’t care for the reductionist biological explanations of why older, uglier men can attract young attractive ladies.

UPDATE II (Aug. 13): What do you know, the ditto heads have been rushing headlong into this blog, unburdened by fact (or principle), blinded by their factional loyalties.

Here’s some red meat from our Rush Archive, for the “yes” men and women who are incapable of critical thought, only blind obeisance:

It’s About Federalism, Stupid!

Addicted To That Rush

UPDATED: Are You Or Aren’t You Racist

Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Morality, Political Correctness, Race, Racism, Terrorism

That’s the question—the defining existential question in a world that lives under the tyranny of political correctness. This form of terrorism means that for violating correct thinking one can find oneself fired, ostracized, branded, libeled, robbed of property and peace, and even confined in certain “free” countries.

Mirroring this reality is Obama’s ludicrous statement, in the wake of the murder of “at least 74 people … in blasts targeting people watching the World Cup,” about the handiwork of terrorist outfits such as al-Qaeda and al-Shabab. The BBC reveals (they must think this is a worthy, because politically profound, news story) that,

“What you’ve seen in some of the statements that have been made by these terrorist organisations is that they do not regard African life as valuable in and of itself.”

BHO’s statement was complemented by an administration cretin, who said:

“al-Qaeda is a racist organisation that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life”.

[SNIP]

Plain murder? Forget about it. Committing murder is secondary to harboring racism. Committing murder while racist—-nothing could be worse than that.

UPDATE: THE RACIAL REALITY is such that a blithering Beck has announced, after expatiating on the topic for two sessions, that the New Panther rants are not about race. They are about black liberation theology (and that’s not about race, right!) or hippies.

There are black and white Hitlers all around us, says Glenn.

Where is the suicidal white supremacist to situate himself outside a polling station in Atlanta, and call for the killing of black babies, in a non-racial way, naturally? The last white supremacist I got wind of was killed by a black supremacist.
