Bad Advice from a Nice Girl
Will have to expand on this late tonight, but Neo-Neocon has an advice piece out today: Avoid Barack Derangement Syndrome. We should all "take a deep breath." Apparently her idea is that we should all watch the bulldozer, politely. After it runs over our heads and squashes out our brains we can say: "Yes, indeed, it is a bulldozer." This is rational, apparently, and I suppose honorable, and at least we won't be like those nasty people on the left. I call this DBD --Deep Breath Derangement.
I will have to consider a more careful response, but I think she, and many like her, just don't want to recognize the internal danger we now face. "It will turn out all right, Pretend." It's fine to pray but to pretend is insane.

Did my woods walk. Had to do it quick 'cause I was losing light. When you walk fast you don't see much. Did see the little beaver. Such a young little squirt he doesn't quite realize he ought to be afraid of me --or at least of those of us who walk on two legs.
It did occur to me --actually this thought occurs often-- that those creatures, those trees, the flow of the river, were about the same ten thousand years ago as they are now, and ten thousand years hence, when America is no longer even an historical memory, will be the same still. It's nice to know there's some permanence in the world.
But America will disappear and be forgotten. But we've had a good run, it's been a good nation, the only question now is: For how many years more?
I guess this fear of the extinction of our liberties would be considered "extreme", but please God, don't let me ever be referred to by others, politely, as "reasonable".
------------------
I think I'll give Neo-neo a break, after all she is a girl. I think instead I'll focus on some local guys, the guys at Powerline, normally not dumb. This was posted by Paul Mirengoff; he's giving the Marquess of Queensberry rules to conservatives in their opposition to an Obama administration. First Rule:
Pray that President Obama achieves greatness in office.
"Greatness", heavens.
Now, I know Obama is going to take us just as far left as he can. Mirengoff wants a great leftist leader. The greatest leftist leader of all time was Stalin. Mirengoff wants Stalin for America.
Is this an unfair reading on my part?
He then takes us through a series of Boy Scout "niceness" rules for how we must respond to our new President:
Don't assume that Obama is always wrong.
Be loyal in your opposition
Be patient in your opposition
Be persistent in your opposition
Be fair in your opposition
Be skeptical in your opposition ...&
Don't hate
Don't obsess
What a syrupy, blithering idiot. He forgot to include "Drink a nice glass of warm milk." And he forgot to include the only thing that he really had in mind: "Hey guys, this guy's black. We gotta walk on eggshells." How about just one rule: "Destroy the damn bastard."
I do think we're in for a hard time. The number of cautions we're going to get from PC conservatives is going to be stupefying, and the charges of racism from everybody else will be unending. Ugly before it gets better. --I'm kind of hoping Russia will nuke Duzzledorff, or at least that there's some big crisis fast. Maybe that will get people serious. The one thing I dearly hope we do not have is peace. If we have peace during depression the government will step in to "set things straight" and the left will succeed splendidly. We have to pray for catastrophe somewhere so we'll not have catastrophe at home.
