Excellent post, Curtis.

Along the same lines as Obama’s “story-telling” remarks, I see that one published left-wing propagandist, George Lakoff, has released a new book, “The Little Blue Book,” (cute title, eh?) which purports to show libs how best to frame their talking points in language he believes will reach more people. Never mind actually justifying one’s position logically.

The left sees no reason to attempt to think through its stances, and it clings desperately to the belief that its ranks are not only more intelligent and informed, but also more righteous – despite all historical evidence and economic common sense – so blissfully unaware (or maybe not so unaware) that the road it advocates leads to our country’s destruction.

If you want to know what booing is, with no question as to what it means, and no doubt as to who is booing and why, come see a Phillies game during their lean years (which we are unfortunately heading into yet again). You will know what serious booing is all about.

That really is remarkable. Another crack in the Great Wall.

I have reached the stage where I ignore almost all Punditry. That includes Conservatives, e.g. Limbaugh, Krauthammer; as well as pseudo Conservatives, K. Parker, P. Noonan et al. Statists have triggered this reaction for quite some time.

There are a select few that still command my attention. Mark Steyn is one. Although you may, or may not, consider yourself a Pundit, Neo is another.

I no longer watch TV. At all. Therefore all of my pundits are to be found on the internet. I’d add Victor Davis Hanson and Richard Fernandez (“Wretchard”) of Belmont Club to the list of good ones.

One of the things that amazes me about Wretchard is that his own comments on his posts are often better than his original posts. That unusual phenomenon is on full display here:

Private Warfare

Read the original post, and then see comments #4, 10, and 15.

Sudan champions Human Rights. Obama cut spending. Jihad is spiritual struggle. Gay activisits support diversity. Taxes are investments. Racism is endemic. Conservatives are fascists. The economy is fine. Jews are terrorists. Debt funding is responsible. Rich people are horrible. America destroys Earth. Rush Limbaugh is a fat drug addict.’

Yeah, yeah, yeah you got that right. Bring on the clowns. http://tinyurl.com/7ebepyp

Well.

Can anyone recall Obama’s executive experience being questioned? Now, in typical upside down Obama fashion, he attempts to establish that he has managed well but not communicated well. How dare we, if he concedes to a lacking in narrative building, also accuse him of managerial inability.

Cripes.

How Rousseau-ean of Obamo. It was Rousseau who taught us how to use a false admission. For instance, “I admit I slapped the girl, but that only proves how much I love her and could never really hurt her.”

Ridiculous.

But it worked for some. Rousseaus’s “Confessions” attempts to distinguish his behavior from his search for freedom from moral restrictions. In that quest, Rousseau’s “Confessions,” is a lot like Obama’s “Dreams of my Father.” A new morality, the morality not so much of Rousseau’s back to nature gig (yet derived from) but of a back to victim gig, paves the way for a not so blushing bride.

Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Obama.

That’s the good stuff. Obama gonna pay my mortgage. Free at last, free at last.

As the incredible Schneiderman puts it: Rousseau confused sincerity with authenticity. Obama’s case, however, doesn’t qualify here. Does the quantity and quality of evidence infer that Obama is sincere in his identification with the tenets of Critical Race Theory? Not much, especially when he must invent every single event of racism or trauma.

Obama’s trauma is being born white. Obama is much more an Irishmen than he is Kenyan. That is why he chose Biden, an even stupider Irishman. Let’s face it: The Irish can be long on words and drink and short on performance. You kind of have to admire the chutzpuh of Obama when he turns that character trait on its head and suggests it’s not performance he is weak with, but words.

Hunh?
