"I pity the fish downstream." Sam Houston, 1854.



(M)an: Dude! What are you reading?

(D)ude: Man! Andrew C. McCarthy III has written a book due out next month about impeaching President Obama for basically hiring advisors who will assist him with the gridlock from Congressional Republicans under the leadership of Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.   

M: Dude! The British Daily Mail tabloid has compared President Obama to British ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair and The Weekly Standard has reported that the Democratic Party in the United States is fundraising off that McCarthy book, Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama’s Impeachment.  

D: Man! The American Press is not picking up on the fact that Andrew C. McCarthy’s book is being recommended alongside literary hates Glenn Beck, Dr. Ben Carson, Timothy Sandefur, Dinesh 
D’Souza, and Charles Murray.  

M: Dude! Glenn Beck’s in the news as of late because that backwoodsman Republican Representative from Texas Louie Gohmert is certain that Comcast’s David Cohen is conspiring to keep Beck from airing his network The Blaze, while, according to the intellectually challenged and tongue-tied, by his own ranting remember, Gohmert insisting, “And it was reported that Al Jazeera wanted to get their Sharia law push into the United States, and they were willing to pay big bucks… but they wouldn’t do the deal unless Comcast was willing to keep them in its list of networks provided. So it was reported Comcast agreed, so Al Gore got all that oil and carbon based money. Then, that kept Glenn Beck off the air. Of Comcast.”

D: Man! Dr. Ben Carson’s been in the news a lot since appearing on Sean Hannity’s Faux News Channel show in March of 2013 with this offensive charge, “Marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality—it doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to change the definition.”

M: Dude! Timothy Sandefur’s got a couple of books listed  alongside the abovementioned chumps online on Amazon. Here Sandefur offers a start to the impeachment nonsense, on January 16, 2014, “The clash between the classical liberalism of the Constitution—which holds that individual rights are primary, and democracy is secondary, and limited by individual rights—and the “wolf’s view” of politics—which holds the power of the majority as primary, and sees rights as privileges given to the individual by the majority—persisted into the twentieth century. Although the Court had dealt the deathblow to the Privileges or Immunities Clause, it did continue, in a limited way, to protect individual rights under the Due of Law Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This was through the doctrine now called “Substantive Due Process”… (In Chapters 3 and 4 of The Conscience of The Constitution, I explain why Substantive Due Process is the correct reading of the Due Process Clause—notwithstanding the mountains of scorn heaped on it by both left and right. But I won’t repeat that here, since I touched on the issue when I last guest-blogged here, and also wrote about it at Cato Unbound two years ago.)… The focus of the clash was never so much the concept of “substantive due process”—which was almost universally accepted until the New Deal Era—as it was over the nature of sovereignty and the relationship between liberty and democracy.”

D: Man! Huh? Sounds like the instructors from the Koch Institute for Management are all invested in the Inurbane Studies specialization especially. In fact, I overheard that Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida is the first distinguished graduate in the Inurbane Studies curriculum. Did you hear Rubio’s senseless, baseless disregard towards climate change being a human phenomenon and spearheading with Robert M. Gates an effort to reinstate the war on terrorism?    

M: Dude! This is what Republican Senator Marco Rubio had to say last week about EPA regulations via implementation of the Clean Air Act, “Here’s what we need to do as policy makers—because that’s what the president is, he’s not a meteorologist. He’s proposing a certain set of policies that he would have to admit, if questioned, will do nothing if in fact these scientists are right and it’s greenhouse gas emissions that are changing our climate, none of the things he’s proposing would do anything to change whatsoever, but it would have a devastating impact on our economy.”   

D: Man! Marco Rubio’s economy is the same as that of David and Charles Koch, and the average American cannot empathize with such nonsense coming from such hooeys  as Marco Rubio, who is considering running for the presidency in 2016 as well as provoking Islamic fundamentalists to recommit to invading our beloved country, Vast, ungoverned spaces have opened up in Syria where the government doesn’t control the territory and it increasingly has become the premiere operational space on the planet for radical jihadists to train and operate. I will make a prediction to you tonight that if things continue the way they are, soon we will see attacks staged against our interests and, God forbid, perhaps even our homeland from those ungoverned spaces in Syria. What happens with these problems around the world is they eventually come for us.”

M: Dude! And you said that Bob Gates said something similar to what Rubio is proclaiming?

D: Man! This is how Robert Gates resurrected, on Face The Nation yesterday, Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon and, I earnestly believe, has ushered in another era of the Bush Dynasty, this time Jeb Bush being the major emphasis for the next presidential election cycle, “Nixon and Kissinger I think don't get the credit they deserve for diverting attention from our loss in Vietnam by their initiatives with the Soviet Union and China in the early 1970s, which sent the message to the rest of the world, We may have had this problem in Vietnam, but the United States is still going to be the preeminent superpower in this world. And we're still going to be in the catbird seat when it comes to dealing with the major powers. Unfortunately, there aren't opportunities like that right now. And the more the only message people hear is that we're coming home and we're going to do nation building at home, the more they wonder whether we will be there for them if they're needed, if we're needed.”

M: Dude! What about the atrocious stories of George Walker Bush’s foreign policy? Bob Gates calls President Obama’s foreign policy a sad low point, but what about our sons and daughters in uniform and their best interests? Do we send them in the clutches of death and devastation just because Assad is ruthlessly annihilating his own people with chemical attacks? It’s not like Assad is living a life devoid of chaos and unrest himself. Robert Gates and Marco Rubio and the Republican establishment are refocused on immobilizing if not annihilating everybody that has not been baptized like vacating Governor of Texas Rick Perry did last month in the same creek that Sam Houston emerged out of after his baptism in 1854 and professed, “I pity the fish downstream.”    

D: Man! Rick Perry upset an entire ecosystem in order to reconnect with the Lord? Those black-rimmed glasses cannot fool anyone! Rick Perry has just as much gas upstairs as he has shares in the adult film industry through shares in the movie rental franchise Movie Gallery. This is the true nature of the Republican Party: Cannot get around without fooling around!

M: Dude! What about the Benghazi, Libya hearings being scheduled by the Select Committee headed by South Carolina Republican Representative Harold Watson “Trey” Gowdy III? Should the Democrats be boycotting the hearings before they’re even launched?   

D: Man! No. No. No. The Benghazi hearings should not be boycotted. The Republican Party will win the 2014 midterms, as they did the 2010 midterms, if the Democrats do not support President Obama and his administration unconditionally. 

M: Dude! I believe the Democrats are just as intolerant and racist towards the President and his administration as the Republican Party. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are insincere in their efforts to combat the hatred and the mythology that the Koch Brothers have invested over nine figures into already. I believe the last time I read, David and Charles Koch had plans to pour in at least $125M.

D: Man! I’m suspecting that the Koch Brothers have infiltrated the Democratic Party leadership too. Darrell Issa and Trey Gowdy are one and the same: Faces change, but evil remains. A rotten egg is a rotten egg! The sulfuric mayhem it exhibits remains no matter how many times you think you can fight the odor anew with another spoiled egg that is essentially built to fail odorously.

M: Dude! There’s one quote by Bob Gates from yesterday’s Face The Nation that you overlooked and that I would like to emphasize. Robert M. Gates said something quite curious about the real threat facing the United States in the following assertion, I think the greatest national security threat to this country at this point is the two square miles that encompasses the Capitol building and the White House… If we can't get some of our problems solved here at home, if we can't get our finances in a more ordered fashion, if we can't begin to tackle some of the internal issues that we have, if we can't get some compromises on the Hill that move the country forward, then I think these foreign threats recede significantly into, as far as being a risk to the well-being and the future of this country.”
D: Man! There was a White House security breach over the weekend, did you know?

M: Dude! Do you think the Republican Party is poised to attack and retreat upon the President’s premises?

D: Man! I think the Democratic Party leadership and membership resents President Obama’s outlook and optimism too.

M: Dude! Which brings US to the last two authors associated with Andrew C. McCarthy III, Dinesh D’Souza and Charles Murray.

D: Man! Dinesh D’Souza has said a lot against the “cultural left” including the following about how 9/11 is primarily the responsibility of the “cultural left”… “The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11 ... the cultural left and its allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the non-profit sector and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world.”

M: Dude! Charles Alan Murray is the co-author of Paul Ryan’s second favorite all-time read, after Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged of course, and that is The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life.  

D: Man! Page 127 of Charles Murray’s pseudoscientific brouhaha states, “But it should also be noted that young white adults who marry are seldom in poverty, even if they are below average in intelligence or education. Even in these more complicated analyses, low IQ continues to be a much stronger precursor of poverty than the socioeconomic circumstances in which people grow up.”

M: Dude! Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie were too shortsighted to become Democrats. That’s why both insensate goons turned to the neoconservative party tilting, Ryan making numerous office visits to his professor Richard Hart, the libertarian who introduced the perpetual sophomoric inarticulate to the National Review and secured him an internship with Wisconsin Republican Senator Bob Kasten where Ryan picked up his foreign affairs know-not and whatnots.

D: Man! Excellent point! Governor Thomas Kean came to show and tell, or career day, at Christie’s junior high school, which lit the neoconservative gaslight in the dim lit twit.

M: Dude! Chris Christie placed the blame on President Obama for New Jersey’s failing economy, “What we’re being told initially is that this is the effect of the change in the law at the end of 2012 by the Obama administration and the Congress to increase tax rates on upper-level individuals”…

D: Man! The Republican Governor of Kansas Sam Brownback is also placing the blame for his state’s bond rating downgrade on President Obama’s shoulders too! This is what he had to say in a statement from his office, “What we are seeing today is the effect of tax increases implemented by the Obama administration that resulted in lower income tax payments and a depressed business environment. The failed economic policies of the Obama administration are affecting states throughout the nation.”

M: Dude! What about the Republican Governors’ Association’s latest campaign entitled, American Comeback? Their latest online two-timing claims, “The answers are not coming from Washington. Republican Governors are driving America’s comeback.”

D: Man! They’re only roasting marshmallows while the billionaires roast them with bundles of dollar bills stuffed in their mouths. And I’m suspecting Democrats are aligning themselves conveniently against President Obama because they too are being guaranteed underhanded fortunes for their surrendering principles and ethics.

M: Dude! The price only needs to be right in order to deflate the fight! The threats to the White House are coming from the neoconservatives, not Islamists!

D: Man! And George W. Bush needs to be retroactively dismissed from the presidency!


M: Dude! Pray for US!
