Every time I slip or trip and fall on my ass, I pick myself up and say the line “Dignity, always dignity.”

I’m not Jewish, but I can appreciate a Dayenu moment when I see it.

The story is short, so take a look at a few comments. Some celebration, some warnings, and some notes about leftist hypocrisy.

“It’s often been said that folks on the left would try to cancel anything that the president came out in favor of, even if it was peace on earth.”

Well, it’s actually written by Graeme Wood (and I ran out of free articles so didn’t read it), but it reinforces the Left’s dog-in-the-manger mindset: if we can’t have it, no one can have it.

SMH – they are so petty (Obama was a prime example, especially his National Park vendetta during the government shutdown on his watch) — and petty envy allies with evil so readily.

“Thou shalt not covet” used to strike me as a an oddly minor sin to be included in the Big Ten, but now I understand why.

…Mohannad Aklouk, the Palestinian envoy to the Arab League, wrote, “[The Palestinians] have dignity, martyrs, prisoners and refugee camps of glory, and this is enough for us.”

When I hear some pooh-bah pontificating about “dignity,” my first response is to run.

Consider what Hugo Chávez said in his 2008 speech in expelling the US ambassador, in response to Bolivia’s previously expelling the US ambassador. Go To Hell F*** Yank.

Go to hell, f***! yankees. Our people have dignity. Our people have dignity.
Get the f*** out of here, 100 times…..

[Translations will vary. For example, “yanqui de mierda” is literally translated as “sh** yankee,” not as “f***! yankee.” Ditto “go to hell” might have another translation, but the vulgar intensity of El Finado’s (the deceased) speech is still extant, regardless of the precise translation.Translation is an art, not a science. The above translation is good enough.]

In the same speech El Finado [the deceased] tells us at another link: [my translation]

“If there is some “aggression” against Venezuela, there will be no oil for neither the people nor for the government of the United States.”

His 2008 rant is now Ironic in view of 1) the collapse of Venezuela’s oil production and 2) US increase in domestic production rendering imports of Venezuelan oil more and more irrelevant.
