Democrats Ready Their Launch of Commander Zero Lovefest

Diogenes


The air is full of anticipation.....

We shall hear triumphantly of greatly improving economic numbers, falling unemployment, millions of jobs saved and created,  of revitalizing the  industrial base  and of their respect for the job creators of America. Of plans for shrinking the national debt and tax cuts for families. Of lower numbers of home forecloses and an ever improving housing market. They will speak of saving the American Dream for all and a continuing forward movement. They will speak of saving the country from ruin, a job yet unfinished. 

There will be a lot spoken of their tolerance and valiant defense of the constitution, of protecting American's civil liberties and the first amendment. They will parade out smiling grandmotherly feminist speakers to remind America of the massive Republican open warfare on women. 

They will speak of a compassion candidate who represents all America as uniter, not a divider, who has tirelessly worked across the political isle to bring about an historically abundant legislative record. 


There will be high praise of prominent administration officials and democrat politicians conspicuously absent from the proceedings only because of their immediate important hard work for the people and to bring peace to the world, and of the growing respect by world leaders they bring back to America after years of disdain. There will be talk of their deep respect for our military and their families, and of the world's growing respect of our polices overseas and at home.

And there will be talk of the right wing extremist swinging the Sword of Damocles above the head of the next generation, and their fight on behalf of the stupid and brain dead of society.

They will loving speak of FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ and Carter.

We will witness the rousing words of the grand tellers of truths of the party, Debbie Wasserman Shitts, Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. And we shall see a gracious and modestly dressed First Lady, showing the country she is indeed a man of the people.

We shall witness the nation's great orator, Joe Biden.

And then there will be the candidate, smiling and wowing the crowd and a skeptical media with his  masterful use of the pronoun I, and his amazing teleprompter skills.

I'm excited. I for one can't hardly wait........

This Really Makes Me Angry!

Diogenes

While I really don't feel well enough to post today, when I saw this picture on Drudge I couldn't help make comment.

THE ARROGANCE OF THIS MAN!

This is not a Photoshop. This was actually posted on Obama’s official Tumblr page:



After the passing of a great American, Neil Armstrong, who outside of the great sacrifice America gave the world by defeating the enemies of freedom in WWII, help give America pride and one of the greatest accomplishment of humankind as a whole by setting foot and walking on the moon. Armstrong was a private man of integrity who never sought the limelight. 

Yet the Self Absorbed resident of the White House pays tribute, not with a picture of an American Hero , BUT OF HIMSELF!

This angers me beyond believe! If this doesn't prove he deserves no respect, nothing does!

I'm Still Here....

Sorry I haven't posted anything for my regular readers this week, but I have had a severe medical problem that has arisen and I haven't felt to much like Diogenes lately. I'll be back as soon as I feel better.

The Ryan Choice

DiploMad 2.0

I will leave to those more qualified to analyze and spin the electoral impact of Governor Romney's choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his VP running mate. The masters of spin and parse will be out in force looking at whether the choice "alienates" single women, frightens senior citizens, or galvanizes the Tea Party into action. I am not going to get into that . . . much.

In terms of intellectual firepower, and track record of accomplishments in the private and public sector this presidential ticket, regardless of party, is the best one in decades and arguably ever. This is a serious ticket. Voters will have before them a stark choice in November. On the one hand, the Democratic ticket consists of a failed, truth-avoiding, and corrupt incumbent President running with Joe Biden, one of the dopiest and least interesting hack politicians of our time. The GOP ticket consists of a successful job- and wealth-creating businessman and governor running with the single smartest and most competent Congressman on the Hill, the one man in the whole Congress who knows how a federal budget is put together and the impact it has on the country. For me, there is no dilemma in making my choice.

The Democrats got nothin'. So they will double down on the sort of vicious assault on truth that we have seen over the past few weeks. The Democrat lie Gatling is already beginning to fire away: Ryan favors throwing the elderly off a cliff; he favors a federal budget to make the rich richer. More will come. Ryan can expect to have the most minute details of his life put out in public and subject to ridicule. The President who refuses to divulge the most basic information of his own life, will spare no expense in having his minions dig up anything and everything that can be used or distorted. It will be disgusting and infuriating.

I hope that Ryan will give as good as he gets while sticking to the truth and coming back again and again to the failed Obama-Biden record, and the basic choice now facing us: do we want to continue marching down the road to stagnation, dependency, poverty, and a government-run society, or do we get back to the basics that have made America great. There should be no problem in making that choice, except that we have been busy developing a society of half-educated college graduates and cynics with no basic understanding of the economy or the world. We have people more and more removed from the process of wealth production and further and further into wealth consumption. That will be the challenge facing the Republicans and the future of America, to wit, to tap into what I believe is a still strong American ethos of work, saving, and investment, to make it clear that we do not have to become Greece.
