Comments on: Other Countries Advance https://whynow.dumka.us/2011/07/30/other-countries-advance/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:30:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2011/07/30/other-countries-advance/comment-page-1/#comment-57302 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:30:22 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=22038#comment-57302 The ‘feral elite’ have taken over, the pols are just ‘go-fors’.

No one wants to admit they’ve been scammed – it injures their pride.

The elites help each other to maintain the facade.

The grifters are running the show now, and puppeting the pols to pretend to govern while the grifters run wild. The only reason one of the grifters doesn’t pronounce himself as emperor is because the illusion of democracy keeps the proles happy. Thing is, the majority of Americans actually *believe* the scam, and keep voting for the same puppets over and over again. And if you tell them that they’re being scammed, it’s just like trying to deal with any other victim of a con — they insist “no no, maybe those *others* are corrupt, but this nice young man couldn’t *possibly* be, you must be mistaken.” They say the hardest thing about prosecuting cons is getting the victim of the con job to testify against the con-man… and that’s for ordinary con-men, ones who don’t have their own media outlets proudly pumping the con.

Sigh. WASF.

The Senate has become irrelevant.

Zero is pissing on the progressives who put him in office and removing any effective progressive leadership in White House circles in much the same way Honorius enraged the Goths and removed any leadership of the last Roman legion by killing Stilicho.

Thing is, I know how this play turns out. I don’t want to experience it in real life. But I don’t have a choice, apparently :(.

Apparently the Florida Tea Party doesn’t think that Congresscritter Allen West is crazy enough to be part of their club because he voted for Boehner’s bill. These people would have approved of the barbarians, whom they are attempting to emulate. They don’t want to build, they want to destroy.

The only question is who plays the role of incompetent Valentinian III in this play, and who played the role of Pope Leo I and opened the gates to the barbarian hoard.
