To Bob Harrison: When the so-called private sector (banksters, automakers, agribusiness, military-industrial complex) plutocrats bundle contributions to hired crooks (known as politicians), it IS THEIR FAULT.

A cute little post is:

What passes for “private” big business vs. “government” in 2009 America was foreseen by Orwell in the end of Animal Farm:

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Do we get a special prize when our debt-to-GDP ratio hits 100%?
They’re pushing an unaffordable new health-care entitlement, an absurd plan to fight global warming that will cost literally trillions, and expanded war in Central Asia and wonder why banks are unwilling to make loans and businesses are unwilling to make investments. The private sector does not like uncertainty about future burdens to be placed upon it by the government. No amount of pontification from Obama will change that.
He’s now whining and complaining that the banks must repay the debt the owe the tax payers by making more irresponsible loans. To be fair, it is the banks’ fault for taking Caesar’s money. They shouldn’t be to surprised when he comes asking for payback.

If there’s any nuance between the two parties and their respective panjandrums in regard to the nation and its institutions it would have to be the language employed (“social justice”, “progress”, “tradition”) in defense of making rubble where once there was a nation.

This time of year, Jews commemorate a partial victory that occurred when bearded religious fanatics, operating from caves and hills, held out against the secularizing superpower of the day (Greece). In fact, over the next 100 years, both the Greek-Jewish struggles and internal struggles among the Greeks and the Jews themselves led ultimately to the rise of Rome instead. Indigenous guerrilla movements have great advantages over “advanced” occupiers – ask Lord Cornwallis and General Westmoreland. One wonders whether we are seeing this with the US, Afpakistan, and China.

I recommend Glenn Greenwald of Salon magazine comments on the Bushama continuity both about his Nobel Prize Coronation Speech and the hypocrisy of the fawning left:

Equally interesting but more in the “domestic policy” realm is Matt
Taibbi’s comment on Bushama’s complete subservience to the Goldman-Sachs-Federal-Reserve-Wall-Street bankster axis:

It seems that Bushama comes in two varieties: (a) the religious, Manichean, macho, light-colored version and (b) the secular, nuanced, sensitive, dark-colored version. Plus ca change, plus c’est le meme chose.
