Harry’s Plotters and the Debt So Hallowed
Evil is afoot on Capitol Hill.
Harry Reid and the Democrats are waving their magic wands (which look suspiciously like mainstream media microphones) in order to summon up the strength needed to conjure up more debt. This debt is Hallowed Debt, a living manifestation of the soul and purpose of their party. Their master, the Dark Lord Spendingmore (He who’s name must be spoken, chanted, symbolized and worshipped) seeks to crush a nerdy, young-looking man in glasses and one without (Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan respectively), who want to use magic learned from their old teacher Reaganmore to save the land of Muggles from a debt burden and lost decade that will make Muggles indentured slaves to taxation and see their savings magically disappear from the spell of inflation.
Many have tried to wear Reaganmore’s hat but none have yet embodied the magic of the old master. Briefly, new hope arose from a new champion who took the stage and posed as an expert in the Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he ended up just being a red-headed blowhard. And with Lord Spendingmore in possession of the Sorcerer’s Teleprompter, the forces of conservatism need all the communications help they can muster. Opponents of Spendingmore find themselves under constant threat from Debt-Eaters, whose insatiable appetite for the public trough makes their Lobbying Spells extra powerful incantations, as well as Public Sector Trolls who will stop at nothing to protect their territory—even to the point of their own destruction.
Cantor’s faithful female colleague, played by the resourceful and lovely Michele Bachmann, is doing her best to rally the forces of Muggledom before Lord Spendingmore obtains the absolute power to spend us into oblivion and rule policy through debt obligations for generations to come. Much will depend on the leadership of Hogsandwarts (also known as Congress). Meanwhile, the Office of Witchcraft and Wizardry, also known as the Federal Reserve, has been draining their magical powers with a continuous duplication spell.
Reaganmore’s followers have been inspired by a friendly Giant named Christie, whose courage in the face of Debt-Eaters and Public Sector Trolls is the stuff of legend. Simply watching this Giant has been known to possess enough magic to give jellyfish spines.
The Muggles in this tale are a clingy kind of people who stick with their guns and religion. They’d prefer to leave the magic to their elected officials, but are growing restless. Their eyes have pierced the veil of storm clouds cast by the Democrat followers of Lord Spendingmore. Plagues of unemployment, dependency, rising prices, and crippling regulations have afflicted their land, and yet there is fear that a spell of fine words coming from a crystal screen may yet have the power to cloud their minds, and minds in this manner clouded will turn away from a path of financial sanity to remain under the Spell of Bankruptcy now known as Hope and Change.
Even the sidekick Ron (Paul this time) will need to muster all of his forces to aid the powers of good. This may be difficult because his supporters can be weasely.
Lord Spendingmore believes he can achieve eternal life in policy if not in office by spending the United States into a European state. Only if the nerdy Republicans can withstand united the magic of his hypnotic presence and overcome his Spell of Media Message Saturation will the Muggles stand a chance. But they must play the game carefully. A wrong move could give Lord Spendingmore the chance he needs to cast a Diversion Spell and refocus Muggle minds on class envy and fear.
The battle is on. Who wins will not be determined in the theaters, but in the Hallowed Halls of Congress and it’s not the fate of a fictional wizard at stake, but the fate of a Republic and ultimately, the fate of the Free World.

Amen, brother. Rather beneath the level of engaging and provocative discourse that I've come to expect on AS. It's unfortunate that a reasonably intelligent adult actually invested time in this sophomoric attempt to be cute and clever - I should like to think Mr. Boze will be more discerning in his choice of forum for such drivel in the futre.
Alan Brooks| 7.19.11 @ 9:35PM
Boze is a radio talkshow host, not a writer.

"The battle is on. Who wins will not be determined in the theaters, but in the Hallowed Halls of Congress..."
Not necessarily. The primaries will determine who occupies the Hallowed Halls of Congress (more accurately described as a cesspool). And, who drives the primaries? Isn't the Tea Party the monster everyone is afraid of?
If I were a spineless sellout, I would be afraid. Afraid of those torches and pitchforks.

Cute, but I am in no mood for cute. The debt America is being crushed by is not a fairy tale. It is time to speak frankly and stand up to the theft and tyranny or we lose our freedom.
Mike D.| 7.19.11 @ 8:20AM
The problem is that we have already lost most of our freedoms, its just can we get it back or not.

Lord Spendingmore, we're toast and you know it. Cute article, kinda hard to follow though for us simpletons. We're in deep, deeper than we realize, and only superhuman strength will get us out. I'd prefer Dirty Harry and his magnum. Now I could get my imagination around that. "Why don't you make my day Harry."

I waved my magic wand and turned Harry Reid into a reprehensible reptile, didn't you all notice?
Now we need the American people to wave their wands in unison and do the Death Curse to the Washington establishment.
Ken in Tyler| 7.19.11 @ 9:53AM
Underlying all the magic and black "arts" remains the sad fact that We the People continue to place our trust in men in clear contradiction to the motto of our once-great nation.
If we truly wish to restore the Republic, perhaps we should think about focusing on selecting representatives who- before all else- acknowledge their reliance on God's standards and principles rather than political chicanery.
Just winning elections- even controlling all three branches of the government- won't get the job done. "I have lived Sir, a long time; and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the affairs of men."
"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

Harry Potter and Politics don't mix very well. At least with Harry Potter you know in two or three hours it will all be back to reality. Unfortunatley politics affects our reality and we can't just wait it out.
MikeBee| 7.19.11 @ 10:26AM
Mr. Boze,
Thank you for the enchanted diversion. Thoroughly enjoyed reading your piece -- well done, sir! We all need to retain our sense of humor and wit while facing the overwhelming troubles of the world, much as Reaganmore would have done. Hopefully, our next candidate will be able to both point out the difference between the Spendocrats and our party, and laugh at their childishly destructive behavior.

Yep. Things are deadly serious. There is a better SitRep available:
"Our Unforgivably Traitorous Government", http://www.eternityroad.info/
By Col. B. Bunny
The Founders had common sense, insight, and deep historical understanding. We found a way to reject every last bit of it. The alchemists looked for ways to turn lead into gold. They were ignorant. We, on the other hand, found a way to turn gold into lead.
Are we not great?
In a mere 74 years we managed to upend the original constitutional scheme and cede vast state sovereignty to the federal government. Forty-eight years later we handed it unlimited revenue that it then used to bribe citizens with their own money. Nineteen years later our president was looking to emulate fascist European governments. Three years later the federal government inaugurated a massive mandatory Ponzi scheme for all citizens, and two years after that someone’s Supreme Court removed any semblance of constitutional restraint from our national political life. This demonstrated conclusively what is meant by “the rule of law” in the Anglo-Saxon-Norman-Canon law tradition. The trashing of the Constitution is now permanent according to the doctrine of stare decisis which is a sacred doctrine. What it means essentially is that if you made a mistake and took a crack whore for your first wife, all your subsequent wives have to be crack whores too.
What followed were massive payoffs to the parasitic class; national fawning over a resentful, rejectionist, black underclass; reckless spending that was an embarrassment even to fans of the Home Shopping Channel; and deliberate efforts to extinguish white European cultural and political power from America forever. This latter initiative proved to be a matter of indifference to most whites for reasons clear only to long-time students of narcolepsy.
It’s a good thing we’re immune to the historical experiences of mankind for the last 15,000 years.
Otherwise, I’d be worried.
”The American Nosedive.” By Jim Goad, Taki’s Magazine, 7/4/11.

Among other things, Bunny's piece contains the most accurate characterization of stare decisis I've ever read.
