Up On Fisking Creek

14 May 2010 @ 08:24

Ahhhh…..Morning in America….

The smell of late Spring is one of the sweetest in life.  The trees and plant life are blooming and God’s creatures have fully awoken from their Winter slumbers.  There’s nothing like sitting by a window facing East, a couple of eggs [sunnyside up, of course] with some nice and juicy fatty bacon and hash browns on your plate, a cup of Joe in one hand [maybe the day's first cigarette]….life is gooood…..

But you know what would make life better?

A righteous Fisking.

And, thank the good Lord, Quin Hillyer delivers a solid gold one to the Boy Wonder, the man-child, the Man Who Thinks He’s King: our Divine Perpetual-Infant-In-Chief, Julius Obamacus Caesar.

From his first sentences, General Hillyer lets us know that this is Blitzkrieg:

Who the hell does Barack Obama, this morally preening, arrogant hypocrite, think he is? His vacuous, demagogic shtick about helping the “people” fight “the powerful” is getting so old from his lips, and already was so hackneyed even before he expropriated it, that it’s a miracle that even he himself can say it anymore without getting nauseated by his own oleaginous triteness.

Obama spewed the same old effluvia Monday when introducing Elena Kagan as his nominee for the Supreme Court. Let us count the inanities and dishonesties in his introductory remarks…

And he does with the audacity of Patton and the ruthlessness of Guderian.

A highlight as Quin tears through the hedgerows of the Obamaside:

“In a democracy, powerful interests must not be allowed to drown out the voices of ordinary citizens.” This is a truism. Too bad he doesn’t abide by it. Barack Obama has spent his whole adult life doing the bidding of powerful interests. At Harvard, that bastion of the powerful elite, he kissed up to enough factions to become president of the law review while actually writing next to nothing. In Chicago, he settled in tony Hyde Park with the help of a highly suspect sweetheart deal on his property, got an adjunct gig at the powerful University of Chicago, cultivated leftist elitists like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn who sat on wealthy nonprofit boards, and chose the church of the wild and hateful Rev. Jeremiah Wright because it gave him a powerful entrée into the poor black community that he otherwise would lack if he spent all his time in Hyde Park. He himself noted that he didn’t really join a church until he appreciated “the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change.” This all was of a piece with his training as an acolyte of Saul Alinsky, who taught that power is its own justification. In the state legislature, Obama became a creature of powerful party leader and eventual Senate President Emil Jones. As Senator and president, he has consistently sided with the most powerful interests in his party, almost never lifting a finger without the approval of the powerful labor bosses (SEIU President Andy Stern was the first year’s most frequent outside visitor to the White House) or of the plaintiffs’ attorney lobby. He negotiated in secret with the pharmaceutical lobby; he was the second biggest campaign contribution recipient from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac sources, which helps explain why Fannie and Freddie keep getting more taxpayer loot while Obama’s administration cracks down on everyone else. Of course, Obama also is all too cozy with the only major investment bank that made out like a bandit in the past several years, Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens were ignored, steamrolled over, insulted, and threatened while Obamacare was passed by hook and crook.

Please do take the time to click here and read the rest as you eat your breakfast with the morning sun bathing you in it’s golden light.

Linger over this delicious feast, be well-sated, and remember that life is grand.

    What the hell does Kagan know about “ordinary people”? Grew up in privileged in upper Manhattan, the bounced between Ivy League schools and the halls of power in Washington DC.

    Barry grew up privileged as well, Ivy League education. I can’t believe people actually fall for this crap.

      I believe it was Mark Twain who said: No one ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the American People.

        Where are the Mark Twain’s of today, outside of perhaps a Mark Steyn…

        If ever there were an age crying out for acerbic skeptics who know how to puncture pomposity, it is now.

      Thank you, but Quin, like Stacy McCain, is in the Master Class.
