Some post election thoughts, albeit a bit late.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They ran out of undies on Staten Island<\/a> (despite the promises from a “Presidential” looking Obama)<\/strong>
\nFrom Fox,<\/p>\n

Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro says the people of his community are in desperate need of fresh underwear.<\/p>\n

“It’s like a third-world nation,” Molinaro said in a phone interview on Tuesday’s Good Day New York.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you reference my March 2011 post<\/a> on being prepared for a disaster level emergency, you’ll note that I recommend you set aside extra underwear and socks in the “Shelter” section.<\/p>\n

Is it the end of conservatism in America?<\/strong><\/a>
\nFrom a commenter at The Belmont Club,<\/p>\n

I still have hope, but it is in the states and local communities. The governors and state legislatures must step up and stop acting like subsidiaries of Washington. Those that do will thrive; those that don\u2019t will slouch toward their demise.<\/p>\n

So let me be perfectly clear: we must restore self-governance. That was true before this election, and it remains true.<\/p>\n

I want to encourage everyone to keep trying to preserve the republic. We have been blessed to be a part of this great American experiment, and we owe it to those who have paid in blood and treasure to not give up. It is a duty we should not fear, but relish. And if you don\u2019t think you can do that where you live, come on down to Texas. We may be the last, best hope of the last, best hope on earth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No! Your argument ignores reality.<\/strong><\/a>
\nFor clarification, try a simple term substitution – as shown by the strikeout and italics below. From the “Dear Republicans” post, (FYI, the post degrades into juvenile level vulgarity),<\/p>\n

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, mention abortion<\/span> the intentional killing of innocent unborn children<\/em> again. It will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, be illegal in this country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whether or not the truth claim of the second assertion is valid does not mandate the abdication from morality as indicated by the first assertion.<\/p>\n

Further reference, The SLED Test<\/a>.<\/p>\n

###<\/p>\n

Even Obama, Presidential-looking though he may be, cannot cut through red tape.<\/strong><\/a>
\nSUCKERS.<\/p>\n

The Gods of the Copybook Headings<\/a>, by Kipling<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
\nBy robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
\nBut, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
\nAnd the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
\nThere are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
\nThat the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
\nAnd the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;<\/p>\n

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
\nWhen all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
\nAs surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
\nThe Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
