The Democrats' Culture of Corruption Rolls On

Consider:

1. President Obama claimed yesterday morning that he wasn't "following" the ACORN scandal "that closely." Really? Anybody buying that bridge? Obama has been deeply involved with ACORN since the early 1990s; the group gave political birth to him. He was knee-deep in its activities, serving as its lawyer for a while, partnering with them on his "Project Vote" in Chicago, working with them through the Woods Foundation (of which Bill Ayers was a big part), and serving as a trainer for new ACORN recruits. ACORN, of course, infamously engaged in massive and widespread voter fraud on his behalf last year, and is now under investigation in 20 states for it. And Obama isn't following the story? Doesn't know much about it? He's either not telling the truth, or he doesn't watch the news or read a paper. Didn't the Left make fun of President Bush as someone who didn't pick up a paper?

2. In case you missed it: last week, the House Ethics Committee put off the investigation into Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. as to whether he tried to buy Obama's newly vacant Senate seat. This is the same scandal that ensnared impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and new Senator Roland Burris. The Ethics Committee, under direction from Bat Crazy Pelosi, just put the investigation into Jackson on ice.

3. In case you missed it #2: the Massachusetts legislature moved last week to change the law to get Ted Kennedy's replacement into the Senate a lot faster. The Senate Democrats, you see, need a warm Democratic body in there if they are going to have any hope of reaching 60 votes to pass their radical health care plan. Ironically, Kennedy himself had the current law enacted to deny the then-Republican Governor, Mitt Romney, a chance of replacing John Kerry in the Senate, if Kerry had won the presidency. Democrats don't seem to think about the voters much: if they want something political done, they just change the law on a whim.

4. In case you missed it #3: Congressman Charlie Rangel is still bobbing and weaving as the House Ethics Committee hems and haws about his massive tax problems. The guy who writes the nation's tax laws didn't pay taxes on millions of dollars of property and assets? No problem! Sister Pelosi will see to it that all of the bad things just go away.

And the beat goes on.

Next year, every member of Congress is up for re-election, as well as a choice collection of Senators. Throw the bums out? Yes. All of them.

Benjamin Franklin's response to the lady who asked what kind of Government he and his peers were giving us is well known.

"A Republic---if you can keep it."

Not well known is the addendum to that noted remark. Now, gringoResearch can supply Franklin's reply in its cogent entirety.

"A Republic, Madame, if you can keep it; a Democracy if you cannot---a loud, braying, corrupt, rabble rousing, Jacobin jumping, socialist-sucking, lawyer-licking, media-mongering, irresponsible, un-accountable elite-driven mobocratic Democracy.

"You read the Greeks. You understand what follows the demagogues of Democracy.

UG:

One has to wonder where some of these unschooled notions are derived. Gringoman is wrong yet again:

"Jacobin jumping" isn't apopos here in the context of Gringoman's attempt to get some shine from Ben Franklin to bolter an obtuse cultural notion that a republican form of government should not be democratic. Its misuse displays the ignorance of its author and detracts from his thesis.

In fact its meaning is the exact opposite of what was intended.

In contemporary France, Jacobinism refers to the concept of a centralized Republic, with power concentrated in the national government, at the expense of local or regional governments. Similarly, Jacobinist educational policy, which influenced modern France well into the 20th century, sought to stamp out French minority languages that it considered reactionary, such as Breton, Basque, Catalan, Occitan, Alsatian, Franco-Provençal and Dutch (West Flemish).

In short, the opposite of democracy, a concept evidently an anathema to the Gringoman as spoken through the persona of Ben Franklin.

My apology for the non-attribution which does not alter the thesis that the description of jacobism to denote democratic affinity over a republican ideal is preposterous; when in fact the concept sought centralization of institutions and not grass roots democracy.
Thank you, DJ, for the link.

[gringoman]

Ummah,

"Jacobin-jumping" was understood perfectly and used advisedly in the sense of the French Revolution's Jacobins, the forerunners of such Wedeen faves as the Bolsheviks of 1917 Russia. These Jacobins, as even a donkey savant would know, were "jumping" all over France and Paris in 1789 and years following, like St. Vitus shaking demogogues, if you will, with their Dance of Death as "service to the People."

To make it possibly easier for Le Kook de Quebec to grasp, I could have said "the proto-Commie movers-and-shakers". But then Poppy Marx's little Bright Boy could "instruct" us that Robespierre never called for the "Dictatorship of the Sans-Culottes."

Ummah,

Speaking of Ben Franklin and the Founding Fathers and the definition of Democracy:

Definition #1. Today's bland, feel-good politically correct. "What the people, who are all exactly equal, want.'

Definition #2 Marxist: Rule, in fact dictatorship, of 'The People' (The Marxlings knowing what's good for 'The People' and intending to give them a good dose of it.}

Definition #3 (Understood by the Founding Fathers and many leading thinkers throughout history.) Pure Democracy, left to its own devices, becomes inevitably the Rule of the Irresponsible, the Domain of the Un-accountable, and the Empire of the Demogogue. That's why it must be enclosed in the sound scaffolding of a Republic. Without that scaffolding it always collapses, sooner or later, then enter El Commandante, Il Duce, Ein Fuerher, a teacherly Pol Pot, a Professor Messiah etc, all of them holding out a bag of goodies to "benefit The People."

The booby beat goes on, from ancient Greece, down through the ages.

Guess which understanding of Democracy comes closest to what a Marxist missionary, or cyberstalking fool, advocates?

Gringoman'sn three definitions seem like a rationalization for maintaining a hatred of the present american administration..

[Account Deleted]

There you go again: Jimmy Carter, Race, and Civility

In the late 50’s and early 60’s Robert Welch, head of the John Birch Society, posed a threat to the advancement of the nascent conservative movement by his malevolent speculation about the motives of those whom he considered enemies of the state, including the Eisenhower administration. Left unchecked, Welch's eruptions might have aborted Barry Goldwater’s nomination for the Presidency. Welch claimed Eisenhower was a “conscious, dedicated agent of the Communist conspiracy” [1]. Welch’s censure had to come from conservatives themselves if conservatism were to have grown by attracting thinking men and women. With Goldwater’s blessing, William F. Buckley, Jr., in the National Review, exposed what he called the Birch fallacy:

“The fallacy,” [Buckley said], “is the assumption that you can infer subjective intention from objective consequence: we lost China to the Communists, therefore the President of the United States and the Secretary of State wished China to go to the Communists.”

Buckley called Welch’s views “far removed from common sense”, and Goldwater called for his resignation in characteristically deadly accurate words: “We cannot allow the emblem of irresponsibility to attach to the conservative banner.”

Today, we have votaries on both the left and right displaying that same kind of divergence from common sense.

On the right, if Party leaders leave unanswered the reprehensible parallels drawn between the President and 20th century dictators, their political stature and moral authority to advance constructive proposals that should be rooted only in impeccable conservative logic will erode. This principle should have motivated Republican leaders to distance the Party from Rep. Wilson’s disrespect of the President and his Office in a joint session of Congress, before the opposition could seize an opportunistic and transparently political moment to reprimand the Congressman. To his credit, Sen. McCain took that hill, but when he turned around the troops were hiding in the trenches. On these grounds of principled leadership, the Party should be all too eager to renounce those who express their passions without civility or in exaggerated tones. Character in politics is doing the right thing when you are almost assured it will bring the scorn of your allies.

On the left, Jimmy Carter made the case this week that there should be a law protecting the people from gross negligence by a former President. Carter, who in lieu of leadership in the 70’s answered the misery index—the aggregate of high inflation and interest rates—with a somber and depressing lecture on American “malaise”, was never known for his ability to lift the country to the high ground. But to be out front accosting sincere critics of the President and those who genuinely dissent from his policies with "racism" is to display an ignominy akin to those on the right who liken Obama to evil statists. Equally unfathomable is the pied-piper response from those in Carter’s Party who, in their hypnotic trance at the thought that he may have discovered the magic key that gives them license to ram any bill past the will of the people, expose their supine aversion to moral leadership. Will the Party of Kennedy, Johnson, and King quench or fan the flames of bigotry?

In a strange twist of history, Carter and his adherents are guilty of the Birch fallacy: the right opposes big government led by a black man; therefore the right must be racist. The loud, but - thankfully - numerically insignificant, neo-Welchs claiming to be conservative are also committing that fallacy: Obama is centralizing economic power, therefore Obama is a closet dictator.

Both are, in the words of Goldwater, irresponsible. The corollary is that those first to call for civil, respectful discourse will lead their party and the country to what President Reagan, who vanquished malaise, called “morning in America".

Michael:

I understood Carter's remarks to be a shot over the bow of the networks who employ the Glen Becks.. where I think you have gone off the rail here has to do with the fact that these 'pundits' not only oppose Obama policies but also question his legitamacy and patriotism. Glen Beck even reported that the government was erecting concentration camps to house Republicans..
So I understood Carter to mean that these networks need begin to decouple policy differences from questions of legitamacy.

Wilson's outburst during Obama's speech is emblematic of the schism between policy difference and rhetoric. I see a consistancy between Wilson's political rise as a neo-segregationist and his outburst. It is hard for you to make a case that a political turnabout would not result in the GOP formally reprimanding a similarly situated Dem.

As for allegations of gross negligence here Carter is offering the former administration a gift. I doubt that many on the right or left harbour lingering doubts regarding crimes having been committed in the area of human rights. (There have been overt admissions by the former VP who then offered justifications which may mitagate but not obviate the crimes) That the present adminitration will be content with looking forward and not behind will mean that absent a congressional writ of mandamus Bush & Co will escape justice while Holder looks for a few bad apples on the night shift. Carter has signalled that there should be a public accountance preserve the Bill of Rights (the jewel of the american system) from future aggregious breach. As there is no congressional standing to hold a previous administration in tort for negligence...and an attempt would be prima facie evidence of congressional negligence for not bringing articles of impeachment when the negligence occured.
Thus Carter was speaking metaphorically.

It will be interesting to preserve the shrill-rhetoric posted on this board and compare these dire predictions with the actual health care reform package which gets signed into law; a bill which preserves profits over people.
I'll contact you directly once that occurs and share a laugh or two.

The missionary from Montreal indicates the "passing grades" that foreign Fidelistas achieve for assisting in social projects approved by The People's Generalissimo. Very heart-warming. While slinging legal twaddle against a woman like Orly Taitz who has lived through such Big Brother social welfare, has the missionary been hiding talent as a social worker?

As for the progressives visiting the socialist sunshine in Castrolandia, can we expect such "conscientious" acts from them in matters not approved by their favorite Generalissimo?
Are they ready to visit Dear Leader's prisoners? If so, maybe this list can help widen the scope of their humanitarianism.

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.

The US Constitution isn't nearly as long and impenetrable as the Gospel According to Marx, DAS KAPITAL. Even a Marxist missionary might eventually understand it.

.Ummah,

Of course you can take "creative license", The more "creative" the better. As for "licentious," may have to check with Monica's filter.

So it appears that Kook, Esq really is making another Fidelista pilgrimage to Castrolandia? Will he do an "exchange of nationals" with a black Cuban who's had enough of the "anti-racism" cha-cha of Castro's white junta? I did a 10-day trip there eons ago in another incarnation, back when La Revolucion Cubana was hot and sexy. We got the whole trip for $100, including hotel and round-trip air fare from Miami, after I drove down in old Plymough coupe from Philly with a French Stalinist gal (well, who knows, maybe she was a Trotskyite.) But I never cut canya down there like an old progressive friend, who never lost the faith, is still willing to. But what can you expect? He's for Bernie Sanders, the Brooklyn Bolshevik now a VT Senator.

Actually, I would invite Wedeen from Kookistan to post here instead of cyberstalk, on one condition: He agrees to settle in Cuba and stay there. No vuelve, Senyor. Disfrute la Revolucion! Por favor!

Would look forward to seeing how "freely" he expresses himself from WebCastro.

[Account Deleted]

Phil,

Were I to ascribe to Carter motives on the sole basis of his comments, I would committing the Birch fallacy (see above) ... wouldn't I? :) Same for Rep. Wilson; whatever his past, he was rude (a sin which leaves no human unscathed), he apologized, Obama accepted (to his credit), and that should have been the end of it--on both sides.

It is one thing to say, "I disagree with Glen Beck", and quite another to attribute the worst kind of calumny -- the appellation "racist". George Will called this the left's McCarthyism (probably a bit harsh on McCarthy, though. See Buckley, William F., "The Committee and its Critics" and his "Odyssey of a Friend"), by which Will meant: when in doubt the left calls Obama's critics racist. Carter should know better--hence the tongue-in-cheek "negligence" remark. And if he doesn't know better, he has disgraced the office of the President by his inflammatory remarks, like a teenager shouting "fire" in a movie theater. Old Presidents, especially the ineffectual ones, should, like good soldiers, just fade away.

It has not escaped me, Phil, that there are those on the right and the left who are racists in fact and whose attempts to cache their remarks expose them more than if they just came out and admitted it. It happens quite often by Monica's readers on this site.

I am with Goldwater and Buckley on this matter as I wrote in the article: such remarks are irresponsible and I wish the writers wouldn't do it in the name of conservatism. I disagree with Obama on many issues as a matters of principle and philosophy, but, unless I am proven otherwise, I think he is a sincere and likable man.

As for contacting me directly, I welcome it. My coordinates are easy to find on my site.

Bien a vous,

What if they agree to do a menage-a-trois turistas in Havana? And in Castrolandia they compare the "shrillness" of the non-progs in USA to (1) the far more vociferous and manly conduct in the UK House of Commons? And they also compare the non-prog conduct to (2) whatever they can hear from the political prisoners rotting in Castro prisons....

Norman Podhoretz: WHY ARE JEWS LIBERALS?

Gringoman, one must acknowledge that there are political prisoners being held in Cuba under the most horrible of circumstances. Most have been there some eight years, tortured mercilessly, deprived counsel, and are without status; in essence, stateless persons.
Unfortunatly they are being held in a part of Cuba which the cuban government can't touch.

Since human rights is your newest schtick for "the cause" why not take your rightous indignation at those being held incommunicado while being tortured and protest to your government? Tell them to respect the Magna Carta, a document some 500years old. Send reparations for the 1/2 million innocents killed by your military in Iraq and the 3 million killed in Vietnam while you were playing grabazz at the Saigon Post.

On the other hand, you and your bigoted friends seem to hold a grudge against children. The 350Km ride is to help benefit kids.

BTW, since you have made the impending dissolution of civilization your calling card why not share just what you contribute to this world besides involking the conspiracies by those you say seek to end it.. instead of this endless pilgrimage to Predappio you've embarked on.

"WOW, we have a truly deranged Carterite here."

I just spent several posts calling Carter an idiot for blaming Wilson's exclamation and tea party protests on racism. Dumbest thing he's EVER said or done.

Darling, you're going to boil alive in your own vitriol.

I don't recommend it. It's a painful way to go. First mad, then dead.

I see you haven't bothered to even try to answer my last post on the last thread.

Because you have none other than your rage. Even the logic of your very survival and the survival of your descendants escapes you.

Gringoman left out the last line of Steven Den Beste's constitutional rant... actually the most important part... the part where he confesses impotance.
For all your manly talk, Den Beste should strike out on the peter meter: He says he can't do anything to change the constitution and has a better chance of being stuck by lightning.
So all of his HotAir rancor against Obama is really just a reflection of where his testicles once rested.
He should be cuffed about the head and left out in the rain.
Whining wimp.
Agreed?

"I've spent my entire adult life trying to figure out the WHITE liberal mind."

That's your FIRST problem... God simply didn't grant you the intelligence, discernment, tolerance, open-mindedness, or patience.

"Their insane actions -- eg. advocating for Muslim imigration -- make it obvious they are either incurably-ignorant or knowingly seek their own ethnic annihilation (auto-genocide). If it's the later, then their motivation is rooted in something extremely sick."

Try Pacifist Christianity, as Christ lived, taught, and died it.

"They really puzzle me and disgust me."

It's our job. It's called conviction, Definition 2: the act of convincing a person of error or of compelling the admission of a truth

""They really puzzle me and disgust me.""

Oh, and look here, definition 2 Part B: b : the state of being convinced of error or compelled to admit the truth

Textbook description of that puzzling and disgusting feeling of yours.

The x-libKrement is truly mind-boggling in its total utter derangement.. the way it feverishly salivates for un nouveau holocaust.. completely shocking for a creature that calls itself "Christian".

But hey, Dhimmi Carter calls himself a Christian too.

"the way it feverishly salivates for un nouveau holocaust"

Ummah, you and yours are already heavily embroiled in the nouveau holocaust. Any state that runs over unarmed women in tanks and shoots 9 year olds throwing rocks, builds a ghetto wall that Hitler could have only dreamed of, and embarks on wholesale genocide in Gaza and numerous other campaigns, while making South Africa's apartheid look like an Obama rally, is definitely engaged in the nouveau holocaust. With Palestinians as victims this time around and Zionist troops as jackbooted Nazis.

""The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism." - Albert Einstein, signatory to Letters to the Editor, New York Times, December 4, 1948."

Ummah, you Zionists lost long before you ever started. Everything.

Get your rear ends to the US, and quickly, before the anti-semitism you create with your own warcrimes locks you out forever.

Word to the unwise. The wise left long ago.

Obama was REALLY MEAN to Gov. Paterson yesterday.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/hand_embraces_gov_and_all_that_missing_BDhVDCA57uDwHOxX0KEErJ

Gov. Paterson wants to run for Gov. but Obama did all but officially endorse Andrew Cuomoyesterday. He is doing the same thing with the Senate race. If your a Democrat, why bother with an election when Obama is choosing your candidates for you?

This reminds me of when they were pressuring Hillary to withdraw.

[Dgscol]

The mob, drug trafficking, and money-laundering. All these can be found in the Carrabean, offshore
from Columbia. And where is UBS and Goldman Sachs doing their offshore finance? Right there! Yes, pirates and the mob went offshore first, and then finance followed.

Despite the fact that Obama claimed he would put an end to the Cayman Islands tax haven, he has done nothing about it. It all started probably, with a mobster meeting a Goldman representative on vacation. Was it Paulson? Since May, Obama has never mentioned it again.

Since the Swiss have lost their tax neutrality, hey, how about the Caymans? Outlaws were always close to the border, on the outs so to speak. Billy the kid, liked it where no law enforcement existed. Hey, want to see me shoot a turtle in the head?

X-Krement, you are beyond despicable. A one-woman propaganda show for the "palestinians" who could easily live anywhere in the vast sand lot known as the Middle East.

The Jews, who have been displaced from Yemen, Ethiopia and elsewhere go unmentioned in your genocidal diatribes.

We all know that it's the KKKorag, shtupid.

Here is what Papa Marx's little bicycling Fidelista can do: Compare the conditions of the prisoners in Club Gitmo with the lives of the millions of prisoners in Castrolandia outside of Club Gitmo, including those who exist inside or outside El Maximo's official prisons.

Let CNN and Fox and a "liberated" channel of Marxling choice cover the proceedings.

Ummah,DJ etc: can you see these agitpoopers (or their soi-disant "conservative" enablers) rushing to meet the challenge?

NORTH VIETNAM COMMANDO RAID

(from on-going Vietnam Legacy Project)

November 30, 1970, The Saigon Post


SAIGON NOTES:The Commando Raid in N. Vietnam
by
Daniel Cameron

Bold, yes. Imaginative, yes. A propoganda coup that may eventually aid the POW's indirectly. In motivation, even noble. The volunteers, heroic. But successful in the stated task? Let's stop the kidding.

The abortive rescue mission demonstrates how strongly the US feels about the POWs and Hanoi's exploitation of them.

Unfortunately, it also demonstrates an open secret: the US military in Vietnam has no intelligence system adequate for such a delicate operation. A sad thing about all this is that such an operation has to succeed the first time. The enemy won't give you a second chance to surprise him in the same way. Does anyone doubt that he will now make it virtually impossible to rescue the surviving POWs in another such raid? Kidding each other won't change this fact. Neither will it change the fact that the US military's intelligence was bush league.

We see no equivalent of the German air commandos who sprung loose Mussolini himself from Allied captivity in Northern Italy. Or the tiny Israeli team that tracked down Eichmann in Argentina and whisked him all the way back to Tel Aviv.

All we see is people congratulating each other for an aborted mission. Brave men were landed in N. Vietnam and found nobody home. In Vietnam the US military....

Ummah,

What about an incentive for Le Kook de Quebec (and companyeros) to stay in Castrolandia? Grant Wedeen a lifetime permit to bicycle anywhere on the beautiful prison island. As he bikes to the Castro-approved social and cultural projects all over la isla, he can even bring much sought-after items from Canada, like toilet paper. Comrades in Montreal can send him cut-rate drugs that are ripped off from the US companies who do all the expensive research and development. Kook Esq. can then bleat about how much cheaper these are than in the land of the Yankee imperialistas. Castro's block wardens will appreciate the propoganda coup against the capitalistas (while praising Comrade Obama's plan to finish off these capitalistas.)

Still not enough incentive to get Wedeen to stay in "liberated" Cuba?

How about a kicker? Offer him a free copy of Glenn Beck's hot new book heading for the best-seller list: ARGUING WITH IDI0TS.
