Obama and his legacy of old-style Illinois politics is perhaps a suitable president for the country's current culture, which can best be described as "the Pits." His continued smoking and admitted drug fog at Columbia University qualify him, I guess, to lead the Democrat Party, which is "drunk" with power. I guess this is progress or maybe retrogression. Clinton was a true son of the South, smart and capable with the morals of an alley cat and crooked as a witch's bloom with a wife to match. Obama often appears dumb as a stick with the morals of the Rev Wright. Progress or something else? I don't know.

I'd say that given the Porkulus monstrosity’s partisan passage -- and I do include RINO traitors Collins, Snowe and Specter -- there’s nothing "soft" about the tyranny that Obama and his party now practice.

In fact, now that Obama and his political tribe have won this initial rushed-to-passage, non-examined partisan legislation, I'd also say that the road to dictatorial control, and thus ruin, of America lies squarely in the hands of Obama, Reid and Pelosi for at least the next two years.

Wonder what Abraham Lincoln would think of that and those who masqueraded as Republicans but betrayed their country?

There is one striking similarity between The Messiah and Honest Abe. Lincoln trampled on the U. S. Constitution with impunity. (Suspending Habeas Corpus, imprisoning and deporting political enemies, etc.) In that area, Chairman Zero is following exactly in his footsteps.

CARS, CARS, EVERYWHERE
Re: Eric Peters's Too Many Cars, Not Enough Market :

Eric is raising an important issue...I would ask him, 'How many total vehicles are there in the USA?' My estimate is in the hundreds of millions...more than the total number of licensed drivers....How can we absorb 10-20 million more vehicles on our streets every year?

Re: R. Andrew Newman's Ice-Cold Cows:

What the bovine were probable thinking was, "Isn't it about time to return to the barn and slip into a warm Jersey?"

Re: Mark Tooley's A Real "Economic" Recovery:

As always, Mr. Mark Tooley delivers a cogent, insightful assessment of contemporary society within (and without) the Christian Church, through the God-given worldview of the Bible. My thanks to him. Economic 'recovery,' eh? Here's the Christian perspective: "You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He Who gives you the power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers..." (Deuteronomy 8:18).
