Death before Dhimmitude

Energy Independence

Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?

Look Who's Smiling

Much as we are not shocked when an infant poops his diaper, and as we are veterans of Cold War political frays, we are completely accustomed to the Disloyal Opposition doing the bidding of the enemy whether out of ideology or the lust for power.

We blame the GOP for this, for they are the supposed adults.

Thank you Mssrs. Hastert and Frist for the incompetence and failure to adhere to conservative principles that made possible the electoral bloodbath that so heartens our enemies so intent on a bloodbath of another sort.
