Insane McCain

Conservatism, Economy, Elections 2008, John McCain, Morality

I’ve just heard McMussolini say that the American dream of home ownership should not be crushed under the weight of a bad mortgage.

What about that fundament of the American founding: self-reliance and responsibility?

McMussolin went on to promise to buy up bad home mortgages, which is what I thought the Sell-Out Bill did indirectly. These idiots don’t really understand the bill they just signed. As Ron Paul cautioned, Warren Buffet confessed to not understanding the derivatives market. Do we really think the buffoons in Congress get it?

Shedding Light Where Others Shed Only Darkness

Ron Paul (via LRC.Com) on the moral, constitutional and economically sound obligations of government: enforcing contracts, not violating them, as it’s doing with the “imprimatur” of the Sell-Out Bill.

The Obama Media Orgy

Barack Obama, Media, Morality

From my new WND column, “The Obama Media Orgy:

“… during her schmaltzy speech at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama dogmatically recited the need to transform ‘the world as it is’ to ‘the world as it should be.’ She and her husband have been working on a central plan to better the world. Alas, changing George Obama’s fortunes is not in the blueprints. (How about some ill-fitting hand-me-downs, at least?)

As hard as it is to lend spiritual credibility to Michelle’s hubristic insolence, those with messianic complexes like hers might contemplate the Jewish concept of tikkun olam. It sounds grandiose—it means repairing the world—but it was intended as a humble and modest thing. It is the duty of the individual to help, bit-by-bit, to bring about a better world through unassuming, day-to-day righteous acts.

The idea of charity is to improve society, not the State; and to do so through personal, not political, acts.”

The John Edwards Thing

Democrats, Ethics, Media, Morality, Politics

Edwards had been carrying on with a younger, less classy, washed-out version of Camilla Parker-Bowles. Check Rielle Hunter out.

What have I gleaned from this unremarkable affair?

Nothing new. The man’s ambulance-chasing legal career already established him as a primo sleaze bag. Oddly enough, his public confession or statement reveals much more about his lack of character than the affair, which is a transgression many good people have committed. Edwards mischaracterized his 100 percent deceitfulness as being “99 percent honest.”

What else, other than that many men like simple, slag-like women?

That the National Inquirer is still the unsung newspaper of record in America, a reputation it established during the O.J. trial.

And that there is a reason Ann Coulter’s shallow fare is more popular than, dare I say, more substantial stuff.
