Heck. The whole western world has gone soft - and leftist vermin like that cheesedick are entirely to blame for it.

Barry, if so, it's due to your own choices in subsidizing people who aren't working, and relieving half the people from having to pay for the shit you spend money on.

Malaise II - Hussein's Bugaloo!

Wonder when he'll drag the Misery Index back out?
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840

Uh huh.

This is s-o-o-o-o-o history repeating itself.

I dunno if you're old enough to remember Carter's malaise speech, but it had a great deal to do with his electoral unsuccess a year later.

Of course, this time, the media's more sympathetic to the Magic One, and so this might not get the play the malaise thing did back in 1979--even though it should.

It's already returned, and in fact never went away.

While still in his 40's he can't throw a baseball from the pitchers mound to home plate...he rides girls bycycles with stupid helmet...puts up curtains.

Yep, Americans have gone soft...........soft in the head and electing him proves it.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
