Obviously there is so little competition for America in the world that we have to provide ringers to our enemies just to enable them to be competitive.

In the countries from which these potential defendants came, organizations like the ACLU would be shut down and people associated with it imprisoned or worse. Why do so many delusional Americans have such a suicide drive?

The problem is that we aren’t likely to get either from the Democrat party in general and Hillary Clinton in particular. I don’t see her or any of hers going into plumbing; what I do see is her and her fat-cat friends castigating successful plumbers as ‘the rich’ and trying to tax them back into the poorhouse.

The problem is that the Democrat base is chock full 0′ people on welfare who’ve never done an honest day’s work in their lives and have no plans to do so. In order to preserve that base they have to confiscate as much money from working people as they can get away with in order to buy the votes of the slackers. That’s just the way it is. The Democrats are no longer the party of the working man trying to get a fair shake; they’re the party of the parasite trying to leech off the body politic, and have been ever since Lyndon Johnson. I don’t see that changing any time soon, and I therefore substantially discount (into negative numbers) any pronouncements by Democrat politicians on the subject.

Talk is cheap, Hillary. You want to walk the walk, come out for some significant tax cuts.

“This is an absurd situation to be in. If another country was doing this, we’d call them a banana republic,” said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, one of the leading watchdogs.

Especially ironic, considering that Democrats are holding up the show.

But Obama also is leading Democratic objections to the FEC nomination of a controversial former Justice Department lawyer, Hans A. von Spakovsky, whom Democrats accuse of exerting political influence over voter fraud and election law decisions. A recent inspector general’s report cleared von Spakovsky and other Justice officials of censoring a bipartisan commission’s examination of intimidation of minority voters, but Democrats remain steadfastly opposed to his FEC nomination.

When I was an undergraduate, there was a joke common among the graduate students who ate at Silliman to the effect that a political scientist was a historian who didn’t want to do the work, and a sociologist was a political scientist who didn’t want to do the work.

Imagine you were a state legislator and some folks asked you to pass a law making it a crime to give advice about paint colors and throw pillows without a license. And imagine they told you that the only people qualified to place large pieces of furniture in a room are those who have gotten a college degree in interior design, completed a two-year apprenticeship, and passed a national licensing exam. And by the way, it is criminally misleading for people who practice interior design to use that term without government permission.
