I’m out of time to do anything more than link it, but don’t miss this Weekly Standard article on Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott.

  1. Well, I for one am questioning their patriotism.

  2. You have to understand the anger of people like McDermott. Always looked down on just because he’s a tool, subjected to abusive terms like “useful idiot” …

  3. Some people just don’t have the good grace to resign, and go away!
    You would think after the mess he created with the cell-phone tape of the GOP leadership he would try to maintain a lower profile?
    Anyone recall what Boehner is getting from that lawsuit?

  4. A thread over at the American Thinker has summed up a few weeks of events, that culminates in this “we don’t mind being used” drivel from the Baghdad Burnouts.

    Not only do I believe they don’t mind being used…I think the whole point of the trip was to be used as a propaganda tool. Of course leftists don’t mind being used by the enemy, that’s the whole point of being a leftist.

    American leftists commenced their “Long march through the institutions” using techniques developed by Marxist theoretician Antonio Gramsci to take over the media, academia, and much of the bureaucracy.”

    For forty plus years, this tactic has been employed by leftists, and they now have infested the landscape so virulently, that they drown out dissent, shout down debate, fake photographs, forge documents, intentionally mislead the public, give classified information to enemies and act not as clandestine spies, but as open enemy agents.

    This disease has metastasized and the Democratic party is the watermelon sized tumor on the body politic. We no longer can trust what we read, the pictures we see, the reports we obtain from the field, the stories we are told, the films we watch, the classes we take, …the manner in which we obtain our mass produced information…is premasticated mush for the braindead. David Mamet no longer wishes to be braindead, but nearly half our countrymen are carriers.

    Political liberalism, due in large part to its control over massive urban machines, many of then going back to the days of Tammany, continued as a kind of husk animated by the new leftist persona. But liberalism in the traditional sense existed only in the minds of the naive, the ill-informed, and terminally nostalgic.”

    Traditional liberalism is dead. In its place is a necrotic and morally bankrupt shell. The Democratic Party has been taken over by a leftism that seeks to devour its own flesh. The reason that the Democrats can’t seem to get out of their own way, is because the party no longer wants to represent America…because it is the party that no longer wants to BE America.

    Followers of the mutant ideology were in no way open with their agenda. Instead they operated under the cover of two pretenses — superior governance and high morality. Liberals presented themselves as technocrats with a clearer understanding of policy and governance than the opposition. Pragmatism was their creed, results their only criteria.”

    The pernicious disease of Sub Rosa Socialism planted in the democratic party body, no longer stays hidden in the shadows.

    The propaganda is open, notorious and naked in its aggression. They can’t stand the fact that they keep losing national offices, so they try to rig the game and they are getting more arrogant and aggressive in doing so. The Utopian One World Socialists (along with their cousins the anarchists and communists, maoists and other splinter groups)have done all they can to steal, rig, cheat, lie, subvert the information stream.

    But, they keep changing their name…like a theif in the night…their present alias is “progressive”.

    Utilizing the old gimmicks of constituent services and favors and the new ones of planning and centralization, liberalism was able to maintain its dominance in backward and desperate areas of the country such as the Northeast and Upper Midwest.

    Constituent services became special interest funding and favors became kickbacks. And the Socialist propaganda took hold in Berkeley and the Pacific Northwest. The Ninth Circuit became a breeding ground for judicial metastasis. As traditional liberalism began to be eaten away cell by cell.

    The claim to higher morality was more inchoate, a kind of luminous abstraction beyond the grasp of money-grubbing Republicans, clearly understandable only by liberals themselves.”

    Perhaps the most brilliant aspect of the propaganda was this feast of insults to be Goebbled up by the braindead leftist lemmings, so that anyone who saw the propaganda for what it was…was stupid, evil, money-grubbing. Being Republican was to not sit at the “cool kids’ lunchtable”.

    Liberals claimed a monopoly on compassion, decency, and social justice (as defined by themselves), posing as the sole defenders of civic virtue against a horde of backwoodsmen, racists, and religious fanatics.”

    All one has to do, is watch George Cluelessney ask “when did we ever take the wrong side of a social issue”? What an arrogant buffoon. As if One World Socialists OWN the “correct” side of every social issue.

    All one has to do is take a seat in the bleachers with me and watch the implosion of One Worlder’s as they fight to see who gets to be more vile. Joe Lieberman can attest to how they get when you “get out of step” with the One Worlders. Now Billary and even Obama know too. The flesh eating propaganda machine they rely on to attack non-leftists…eats its own just as easily.

    This elaborate double imposture served to keep liberalism alive for over three decades in the absence of ideas, doctrine, and serious accomplishments. But 2008 has brought the charade to an end. Events this year have exposed, once and for all, in a way that cannot be denied, elided, or spun, Democratic liberals as the party of abject incompetence and institutionalized corruption.

    Well, more like four decades. Starting with Walter Crocknight and the Tet Offensive lie. What we don’t have for the disease yet…is a cure. We need to call the question. Does America want the Socialist party to goosestep their way into our White House.

    Let’s stop calling them “liberals”…liberalism died long ago. Let’s stop calling their propaganda arm “mainstream”…they don’t live on Main Street…they live in Stolengrad. Their pod people braindead zombies repeat echo chamber, one note, slogans over and over…but their propaganda arm keeps belching out fauxtography, forged documents, phony attributions, whole cloth stories and alibis and excuses for enemies of state.

    Let’s call the question. Do we want to be Euro-Socialists or do we want to be a free market meritocracy? And let’s shine a light on who they really are and stop using their coded terms to describe them and what they stand for…and against.

    Of course, they don’t mind being “used”. That was the whole point in the first place.

  6. How dare you sully the reputation of a representative from my fine state. Jim McDermott represents all that is true and good in Greater Pugetropolis, well OK all that is good in Seattle, no wait all that is good in the most liberal spot in the most liberal city in the most liberal half of the state. And you thought Berkley had all the nuts!

  8. This is a great Democrat tradition. Look at Granny McRictusface’s trip to Syria over the objection’s of the Bush Administration and the headaches it caused for Assad’s opponents in Syria.

    San Fran Nan’s great revelation – Assad is ready to seriously negotiate over Israel. RIIIGGHHHT NANCY. Pull my finger.

    Another useful idiot on parade.
