Beyond Passing Thoughts. . .

Virginia Virtucon notes:

David Jones of the UK Daily Mail wrote an article that shows how the combination of Mother Nature’s resiliency and BP’s strong clean-up efforts have almost completely mitigated what the White House, the mainstream media, and the environmental lobby would have you believe to be a horrible, generations-lasting disaster of epic, near-biblical proportions.

How do we transfer that marvelous efficiency to the most expensive political disaster in human history, Progressivism?

    You don’t. Progressivism is FAIL, and the people in the movement are in love with anything that fails.

    There is no polish for that turd.

    Darwinism. Aside from watching them abort their young, we can shove them into their own world, refuse to prop them up financially (or morally), and let the whole thing go to rot within a few years.

    You would need a whole bunch of progressive eating bacteria. In order to get them you have to cultivate them. It’s a simple matter of rounding up all the progressives and throwing them in the Gulf of Mexico and letting the bacteria eat them. Simple…right???

    I am glad to hear the disaster may be less than previously thought. Not because of Obama or BP (whether there were strong clean up efforts is a matter of debate), but because of the people and animals of the Gulf.

    What this shows is most of the parties involved have no idea what is going on (starting with the Obama administration).

    Springsteen is such a disappointment to me.

    “It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap you gotta get out while you’re young” = progressivism!

    I’ve become convinced that the only hope to defeat progressivism and crawl out from under the pile of debt and dung that passes for the federal government is an amendment to the Constitution. Time to cut the bastards off at their knees.

    It will take a hell of a lot more than a few amendments. As much as it pains me to admit it, I think it will take a civil war. A real one, not a pansy ass war between the states.

    I’m not advocating violence, and I hope like hell I’m wrong.

    But I don’t think I am.

    @Randy,
    At ease, Rager. If you study Clausewitz, he talks about a triangle consisting of people, policy makers, and military leaders.

    There ain’t no way you’re going to build any serious, sustained rebellion, notwithstanding your angst.

    So what do you call Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, Shumer, Harkin, Frank, Conyers, Rangel, Waxman, Sanders, and Murray on the ocean floor all chained together to the BP well cap?

    I don’t intend to, and I’m not angsty. I’m just telling you what I think it will take. We’re so far gone down the rabbit hole of leftwingnut insanity that the only thing with any chance of even semi-permanently (for little political change is ever permanent, and few bad political ideas ever die forever) killing the Hydra of Horrors that is “Progressivism” is a bloody civil war.

    I desperately hope I’m wrong, because I’m too damned old and out of shape to serve in any combat capacity.

    Clausewitz, for all his genius, had a bad tendency to overcomplicate relatively simple matters. So did Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, for that matter. I far prefer General George C. Kenney, but that’s probably due more to service prejudice than any other factor.

    Smitty, I to have the same fears as Randy Roger, as you know. But, I must say, I will do everything in my feeble power to prevent it from going that far. However, Mrs. B. and I are about to arm ourselves.
