A psychological attack is of no use when the target has no vulnerabilities.

The trauma is caused not so much by the amount of damage as it is caused by the inability to strike back at the attackers themselves. This sets up a state where defeat is inevitable and the will to fight disappears. Even in situations where the defenders are outnumbered and the odds are against them, so long as they have the will to carry the fight to the enemy, they are not yet defeated.

In a situation where there is zero ability to carry the fight to the enemy, the will to do so automatically disappears soon enough.

The Main Sewer Media is in the position of being able to take pot shots without taking any risks themselves. Thus there is no reason for them to stop, and for the defenders, no ability for them to strike back.

Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

The opinion was written and the swing vote was cast by a Daniels appointee. (HT: The Corner)

When the opposition presents him as a “serious” candidate, beware. We might just get stuck with him but if we do, I don’t think he is as “beta” as some suggest.

As Rush stated recently on the radio, the msm and other lefty pundits have been mentioning Daniels lately as if to plant a seed for many to believe he is the direction the right should go in a candidate. You can bet your sweet bippy it’s not because they think he can win or even be a serious threat to Obama’s re-election.

As one who has personally experienced a similar marital situation to Daniels, and left standing with three kids to raise myself, (except that she was never allowed to return) a field day will be had with him if he runs. Just about anything you can conceive of will be used against him. And I agree with an earlier statement, a Beta male does not a good president make.

Mitch should run…it will produce a rowdy lotto to guess the exact date that Cheri will wander away again. Run, Mitch, Run…. the fun has just begun…bye,bye…

Just look at what she has been through, and the manner in which every aspect of her life, family and character has been trashed. Agreeing or disagreeing with her, or rationally questioning her suitability for the post of VP or President wasn’t enough. She had to be destroyed (and the reason I am a fan is that so far she seems to be holding her own).

Palin’s crime was that she stood against and threatened Obama’s run for President. There wasn’t any other reason.

If Daniels becomes the candidate running against Obama, then Democrats aren’t going to care about Sarah Palin any more, their new target will be Mitch Daniels. And they have demonstrated just how utterly ruthless they will be. If Mrs Daniels’ ex has an axe to grind, or is opportunistic, he will have every opportunity to tell any story he wants. If fact he’s going to be hounded for stories whether he wants to or not. It will be sordid and unpleasant.

A big part of the reason I am not a fan of Obama is that his followers are so rabid and ruthless., and that he never tries to rein them in. Quite the contrary in fact.

A blonde female SNL cast member circa 2012 sits on a stool, back to the audience. Before her is a cow.

Enter the most diminutive male cast member, stops facing the audience, just to her left. In a slightly nasal midwestern accent he warbles:

‘Down here on the farm the weather gets messy laying around with nothing to do
When you went away you took my cow Bessie I miss her darling more than I miss you
You took off your leg your wig and your eye-glass
And you should’ve seen the look on my face
I wanted to kiss I wanted to hug you but you were scattered all over the place’

At this point he nudges the female cast member with his elbow, she turns around and they complete the hilarity:

‘Where oh where are you tonight why did you leave me here all alone
I searched the world over and I thought I’d found true love
You met another and (pfft) you were gone‘

What state is Daniels from again? What could go wrong? Who cares?
