The Obama Economy has reached a new low. There have been plenty of economic lows over the past fews years, all generated by the catastrophic policies of President Obama and his Democrat wingmen in Congress: the massive expansion of government, unprecedented spending, record-breaking deficits and debt, and socialized medicine. These policies took a shaky economy and turned it into a gasping near-corpse, to the point where 9.1% unemployment and 0.4% GDP growth is "the new normal."
All of these disasters, however, were merely the opening act for the big hurricane that hit us on Friday night: Standard and Poor's downgraded U.S. debt from our previous sterling AAA rating to AA+. An A+ is only great in grade school.
The Left is in freefall (along with the stock market, which sees it too). The Left sees its wealth redistribution ideology collapsing before its eyes, swamped by its own internal contradictions and disastrous consequences. So the Left flails and blames everything and everyone for the downgrade but themselves and their policies. The Tea Party becomes "terrorists." The Republicans become "obstructionists." Blame gets laid on everyone from President Bush to "millionaires and billionaires" to corporate jet owners to ATMs.
They cannot possibly look in the mirror and find the fault within themselves---because to do that would mean the end of liberalism, the end of their very existence, the end of their cottage industry of victimhood and dependency, the end of their calamitous agenda and policies. This they will not abide.
So they continue their lies and their Blame Roulette and their insults to our intelligence. But we know the truth: that the Left has wreaked enormous destruction, that the GOP put forth the ONLY plans to deal with the debt crisis (the 2012 Ryan budget and Cut, Cap and Balance), and that their ideology is now permanently discredited.
Is it the End of Liberalism? I'd like to be that optimistic but I'm not, because there are plenty of left-wingers who are deeply invested in their wealth redistribution ideology to go down without a fierce fight. Witness what's going on tomorrow in Wisconsin: $30 million has poured in to defeat GOP state senators in recall elections. The Left will not go gently into that good night.
And that is why we must stay on the offense. A dying ideology lashes out. Be prepared for the most vicious attacks and underhanded, destructive policies to come. Hold the line, fight back, and never, ever let the conservative guard down. They are fighting. So must we.
Hey Britain, hows that multyculty workin' out for ya? "Diversity is our strength" at work! LOL!

The only ideology dying out is the one envisioned by our Founding Fathers. The Left has prevailed.
How can you fight against a system that imports 1.2 million immigrats - who, btw, 9 out of 10 of them vote Democrat? That's LEGAL immigration I'm talking about. Add to that all the illegal immigration. What is going to happen to the "conservative movement" when 20 million or so illegals are granted amnesty? Do you actually think they or their offspring will they vote for the G.O.P.? HAH!
I don't blame you for not addressing this very unPC demographic issue, Princess. Even Gringoman brushes it aside.

LONDON BURNING///////UPDATED Guardian journalist Paul Lewis, who earlier tweeted about gangs of racist thugs sprinting through Enfield, says these people were actually vigilantes attempting to protect their shops.

MARXOBOOBIE: "These blokes are white bigots. How can I tell? Easy. Would they chase away the punks if the punks was white? Do I have to answer that for you? Huh. I'm a progressive. I'm white too, so I must have some I.Q. right? You can't fool me. Like the old song says, 'I'm stickin' to the union.'"

The downgrade is a symptom of our declining economy. Whether we still had a AAA rating or not the market would decline unemployment would increase not due to any political theater but to fundamental weakness. We have been outsourcing our industrial base for decades. The recent Obama policies of regulation just accelerated the process.
We've passed the tipping point folks. No amount of "investment" (subsidies, bailouts, grants, entitlements) can continue to paper over the structural weakness. The economy will NEVER recover, despite what the geniouses in Washington decide.
How will I ever be able to explain to my grandchildren why I lived better than they can ever hope to?
