Brother Jim
Jim Messina is the campaign manager for Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Here he is touting Obamacare. Some readers have apparently found this picture to be slightly creepy.
With These Hands
Why? Perhaps it is because of the earnestness with which Messina is obviously going to save you. You will be saved. And the handscrawls will remind some of the famous scene from Night of the Hunter.
And yet about 47% of the voters probably find Messina’s message inspiring and uplifting. What about the 53%?
From the first there has been about the Obama campaign the odor of incense. The public is constantly told about being on a “moral arc”; that it is on the threshold of a fundamentally new America; that it is entering upon an era of Hope and Change. The promised ones have come. “We are the people we’ve been waiting for.” It seems almost like an evangelical crusade, pardon the term. But in whose name? And to what end?
And with these hands,
I’ll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I’ll turn the tide for you
Oh, and I’ll never
No, I’ll never
let you go.

According to “Drudge” a few days ago, major network TV shows are being approached by the WH or its minions to tout Obamacare in the upcoming season. I imagine it’s medical and legal dramas.
Jeez, talk about the feminization of the modern male. Messina would die of a testosterone overdose if Mitchum so much as spat on him.
It’s a Cookbook.
Whether it’s really fair to go after Messina’s appearance, there is definitely a decadent quality to much of the upper echelon personnel of this administration. From Rahm the foul-mouthed ballet dancer, to Janet Napolitano whose lesbianism is no longer in dispute due to a scandal at DHS, to all the soirees the Obamas attend among such types as Anna Wintour, the former chief fluffer at Penthouse, and her friend Hugo Boss, the world’s most decadent-looking German, this administration is redolent with moral ruin and decay. Messina has an unfortunate countenance that has “end days of the Weimar Republic” written all over it. Add to that the creepy charlatans like John Holdren, Obama’s science czar who once proposed enforced abortions, and Rahm’s brother Ezekiel, the Death Doctor of Obamacare rationing infamy, and you have all the makings of a Tim Burton classic.
I have said before that we are being subjected to the triumphalism of the aggrieved. Ordinarily marginalized deviants joining forces with minorities who have not been persecuted or discriminated against since at least two decades, and are sticking it to us from their newfound acquisition of power and influence. They are not so much redistributionists as they are Retributionists — intent on extracting tons of flesh in the form of trillions of mispent dollars and massive amounts of humiliation heaped on us just because they can.
Keep in mind that there was a precedent: The so-called “Beat Generation” of homosexual poets, drug-addicted and bisexual writers, and advocates of libertinism and foul-mouthed comedy were instrumental in creating the “Counterculture,” so as to create an environment were they could romp all they wanted behind walls of college-age “hippies” and nubile young girls and boys. The Aquarian Age was a sociopath’s paradise with thousands of willing victims.

Now THAT was brilliant!

“From the first there has been about the Obama campaign the odor of incense.”
Methinks that may not be incense, but brimstone.
Or maybe it’s the New World Ordure.
Photo reminds me of CS Lewis quote:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
These guys are remindful of the Jacobins, starting with the collective and quickly descending to the guillotine. How many tens of millions did (does?) Ayers, Erlich and Holdren want to remove from the American gene pool?
The single redeeming quality of the entire event is that the mask is off all the way around. Sadly, I expect the Tree of Liberty to be watered the old fashioned way with blood. Fight’s on!
This latest from Team Obama is creeping me out. Eeeeewww.

I prefer Blue Oyster Cult for this:
I am the one you warned me of.
I am the one who’d never, never lie.
…and the second line indicates that I’m not talking about President Obama or his straphangers.
He’s no creepier looking than Himmler was. And our Ms Janet bears an uncanny resemblance to Goering, to boot.

Well said. Yes, there is a great deal of decadence in this administration and on the left in general, which is probably why they are so popular in Hollywood and the entertainment world.
My boss regularly points out that traditionally, actors, musicians, and other bohemian types were considered to be the dregs of society and were often looked down on by more respectable people. Today we exalt them and even look to them for political and economic insights.
I remember reading an article a while back that said that concepts like “social justice” and “economic justice” boiled down to nothing more than a longing for revenge. Revenge by the poor against the rich, by minorities against whites, by feminist women against men, by gays against straights, by the lazy against the achievers, and on and on.
In the straits of Messina. Fata Morgana. Scylla and Charybdis. Watta campaign it was.
OT- the new PJM front page is…wanting.

I believe it was in the order of a mere 20-25 million who would need to be liquidated when the revolution came. I suspect that number would be revised upward today if Bill was asked to requote the job.
UDATE: yeah 25mill.

Well, the total number of people in America has increased from 226,542,199 in 1980 to 308,745,538 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So the current number of liquidees would be around 34,000,000.
But, thanks in large part to Ayers’ own efforts in the educational field, I think it’s safe to assume that the growth in the number of people who revere traditional American values and principles has not kept pace with the absolute growth of the population.
So let’s call it 30,000,000.
Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class — whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.

Not going to waste a moment on it, but I’m sure that’s a Joker face partly morphed into the picture.
Who the hell cares though. They’re all conspiring, left and right alike.
On the bright side, it looks like Team 0bama is really working overtime to lock up the urban androgynous [potential] cannibal pederast demographic.
The WHOLE Dem party reminds me of the bar scene in Star Wars. This group are all the people that either didn’t go to the high school prom or went and sat on the edges and watched everyone dance and in my era did weed and sloe gin in the parking lot so they wouldn’t feel the pain. The looser and the lost.
God I want my country back!
