Democrats Will Help Republicans

How Obama's Enemies May Give Him a Boost
*snort alert*

Even if the President repelled a Martian invasion, the right's reaction would likely be the same as it was after the Christmas Day bombing attempt, or the Times Square failed attack, or the current oil spill: denigration of Obama's competence, suspicion of his motives, and implicit or explicit hope for his failure.

In the closest thing to a Martian invasion we've experienced since 1812,  El Presidente is riding with the Martians.  His chances then, of repelling it, would necessitate suicide at some point. ¿Estoy en lo cierto, o qué?

Second, Halperin's article is filled with hackneyed examples (Pauline Kael's), and misdirection.  His insinuation that the nation oohed and aahed   in admiration, after the Christmas bomber and oil spill fiascoes is ludicrous.

Here's a by-now hackneyed question.

 Do the Halperins in the media  not realize that, outside of the elite Liberal cloister, they sound like fools?  Or, do they knowingly  deal from the bottom of the deck out of desperation?   Here's a hint:

The "Halperins in the media" are the televangelists of the '00s. They don't profit from being correct, necessarily. They profit from the patronage of the "true believers" in their sect.
No, that's not a knock on religious folk, it's a recognition of the historical role and techniques of the shaman in human tribal societies: overacting, wailing & bewailing, contrived drama, showmanship, sacrificing other-people's stuff, blaming things on witches, devils, and Bush. You know ... liberals.

Sometime, very soon, Newsweek will sleep with the fishes.

Time will follow suit 2 or 3 years later.

No one will notice at the time, but it will be good riddance.

Not so, of course, for US News and World Report, which neglects to cover American Idol, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Jackson, and similar garbage topics .

Why wait for a Martian invasion? We already have an invasion on our south-western border.
