Just A Trivial Difference

JFK famously directed NASA to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade. It happened.

Barry Hussein charged the Director of NASA to make Muslims feel better about their contributions to science.

The Road to Serfdom

Hayek’s greatest insight in The Road to Serfdom, which he wrote with an immigrant’s eye on the Britain of 1944:

There is one aspect of the change in moral values brought about by the advance of collectivism which at the present time provides special food for thought. It is that the virtues which are held less and less in esteem and which consequently become rarer are precisely those on which the British people justly prided themselves and in which they were generally agreed to excel. The virtues possessed by Anglo-Saxons in a higher degree than most other people, excepting only a few of the smaller nations, like the Swiss and the Dutch, were independence and self-reliance, individual initiative and local responsibility, the successful reliance on voluntary activity, noninterference with one’s neighbor and tolerance of the different and queer, respect for custom and tradition, and a healthy suspicion of power and authority.

they are insured... but not everyone
must prove they are a citizen.

The Eloi

I think there are some scary parallels between the Eloi depicted in 1960 movie Time Traveler and the current crop of liberals.

They’re so dumb and docile that they don’t even know they’re cattle. It would be sad, if they weren’t so dangerous to the future of the species.

...the Time Traveller tests his device with a journey that takes him to 802,701 A.D., where he meets the Eloi, a society of small, elegant, childlike adults. They live in small communities within large and futuristic yet slowly deteriorating buildings, doing no work and having a fruit diet. His efforts to communicate with them are hampered by their lack of curiosity or discipline, and he speculates that they are a peaceful communist society, the result of humanity conquering nature with technology, and subsequently evolving to adapt to an environment in which strength and intellect are no longer advantageous to survival.

Nanna

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee will rename a street after former-Speaker Nancy Pelosi today in Golden Gate Park.

“Middle Drive East” which connects Martin Luthjer King Jr. Drive and John F Kennedy Drive in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park will now be renamed in honor of Pelosi and her 25 years of service in Congress.

Some names that have been suggested include:

Anti-Market Street

The Dumbarcadero

Delusional Drive

Psycho Path

Whatever they name it, Lombard will no longer be the crookedest street in town.

TSA–No Brains

The point regarding Kissinger is not that his search was particularly onerous or invasive. The point is that an elderly man, especially one who is a well known national figure, is of zero danger of committing a hijacking and should have been waved right through so that the Transportation Security Administration could concentrate its resources on someone who constituted a real threat. But I suppose such common sense would constitute "profiling" and would therefore be racist or something.

Will the Idiots Prevail?

There is a wonderful quote that has been making its way around the internet over the past year. It was translated from an article published in the Czech Republic newspaper Prager Zeitung last April and reads as follows:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency...Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

The only relevant categories of Obama supporters left are socialists and useful idiots - those people suffering from ignorance about world affairs, economics, and the person who is the current leader of the free world.  See 99%.

It remains to be seen if the combo of socialists and useful idiots will make up over 50% of the popular vote and carry the electoral college this year.
