House of Eratosthenes

I think it’s gotta be people who think she’s some kind of Republican. She surfaces, tosses out some throwaway words about how much She Loves This Party, but is really concerned about the blah blah blah of the hour…blows a whistle, imposes a penalty, waggles a fat finger in her self-appointed role as Extremism Cop. And then descends. That’s it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The democrats are approaching our public debt problem by spending lots of money and bragging about it. They’re ignoring the people to transform our health care system into something that resembles the other countries with lesser systems, the ones who send their sick here to receive the treatment they can’t get there. Within my understanding, McCain hasn’t tweeted a peep of protest against any of it.

Via Riehl World View, we acquire a link to that most sacred of highbrow intellectual cloisters, The Huffington Post. Huffington Post embeds a video from that other highbrow intellectual cloister, The View. And on The View, this chubby girl who was born on October 23, 1984 worries ominously about how much Tom Tancredo’s speech reminds her of what was going on in “the fifties”…

…just damn. These are the people who condescend to Sarah Palin for reasons dealing with intellectual acumen?

Hey Meghan, you know Tancredo has been pushing this civics literacy test for awhile, and his challenge is on the table for anyone, anywhere, to find a single racist question in it. Maybe you should take him up on it. Pull your nose away from Twitter once in awhile.

Last I heard (although my information could be out of date), questions similar to these were being demanded of the legal immigrants who came here and sought to become naturalized citizens. You know…that crowd isn’t all pasty-white either, and if I were among them and having to take the time to learn this stuff, then learning my illegal counterparts were voting without taking the time to assimilate in the culture in any way — I’d be pretty upset about it.

So when are you going to stand up for their interests, cetacean Extremism-Cop lady? Why do you have to be so raaaaacist about it?

And Whoopi. Did I hear you right? Tancredo should get his facts straight because some of the people who voted for Obama knew precisely what they were doing? Like you?

Seriously?

Ms. Goldberg, I think Tancredo’s facts might be just as straight as anybody else’s…

Yes. Civics literacy test. And I got a gut feel it might do us some good to make sure Meghan McCain is the first one to take it. No peeking at your neighbor’s paper!

You’d have to be an insane fool, or gloriously uninvolved and distracted, to say we don’t need something. Sorry if this brings back painful fifty-year-old memories in the impressive noggin of this twenty-five-year-old girl, but the system is missing something. If, indeed, it’s racist to simply point that out, then we might as well shut the whole experiment down.

I have a friend who volunteered to drive voters to the polls for the Obama campaign. This, too, is community organizing. To top it all off, he lives in Illinois, but he drove people in Indiana to the polls.

So what the progressives do, believing they know best but knowing that most of America doesn’t agree with them, is they get people like Peggy Joseph wipped up into a frenzy. They drive around and knock on doors in neighborhoods and tell you you’ll get such and such if you vote for their candidate. You make sure you get their name on a voter registration roll, and you tell them you’ll drop by on election day and take them to the polls.

This way, you get people who wouldn’t even have bothered to register to vote, much less vote, because they feel to ignorant of the issues or it’s just too much effort — or both — to go vote for the candidate who they’ve been told is promising them more goodies.

This way we get government of the Self-Appointed elite for the Ignorant, and we all get to live under it. Unless, of course, we’re well-connected with the Ruling Elite. Kind of like in the USSR, really.

It is disgusting, and an affront to those of us who do pay attention, take care to register, figure out which polling station to go to, and often take the time from work to get ourselves there and cast the vote.

And I’m not even takling about voter fraud yet here.

Sigh. These videos make me weep for the future of this country…and infuriate me at the same time, knowing their vote cancels out that of someone who actually pays attention and has the facts. Me.

Who Do I Respect Less Than Meghan?

Ehm….Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il, Mammy Dinnerjacket, Vlad Putin, Hu Jintao, Fidel Castro, Mum Khadafi, and Hugo Chavez.

The list ends about there, actually.

On my “respect” radar, Megan registers as ground clutter.
