Pity Mike Michaud, the Machiavelli of Millinocket, in
his attempts to fool all of the people all of the time. It's got to be
a tough task when you vote precisely as Nancy Pelosi tells you to vote
96.3% of the time - and even tougher when the votes you cast against
her are also on her orders. But his real quandry is sneaking it all
past the voters in our polarized polity.
There
is the America of Red States and Blue States, populated, as columnist
Dave Barry likes to joke, by "ignorant, racist, fascist,
knuckle-dragging, NASCAR-obsessed, cousin-marrying,
road-kill-eating,tobacco-juice-dribbling, gun-fondling, religious
fanatic rednecks AND godless unpatriotic pierced-nose Volvo-driving
France-loving, leftwing Communist latte-sucking, tofu-chomping,
holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie perverts."
One of these is a pretty good
description of "Nancy's World". As for my world, I guess I come down
firmly on whichever side will defend the country, uphold the
Constitution and leave me alone, as I leave them to their juice
dribbling proclivities.
But What Would Machiavelli Do? Some of Mike’s
buddies in the Democratic leadership did send some envoys to a NASCAR
event, but “recommended Democrat staffers be
immunized” first.
I wonder if they had to bring the little book with them when they
returned to the office from the foreign country?

There is now a recurring theme
in Western Culture - the multi-culturalist scam. All cultures must be
adjudged equal, and no one can be offended by even so harmless a
pleasantry as “Merry Christmas”. A while back in
Britain, a local government council told workers not to have
knickknacks on their desks representing Winnie-the-Pooh's porcine
sidekick, Piglet.
It might be offensive to Muslims...
John McCain, rather than resorting to any of the verbal
laxatives the PC Dweebs use on the subject, called Islamic extremists
and jihadists, "a great force for evil that wants to destroy everything
we stand for." Precisely. And enough to make a multi-culturalist sleep
with their night light on.
I remember it differently, but Mark Steyn quotes
theologian Martin Niemoller as saying "first they came for Piglet, and
I did not speak out because I was not a Disney character and, if I was,
I’m more of an Eeyore. So then they came for the Three Little
Pigs, and Babe, and by the time I realized my country had turned into a
24/7 Looney Tunes it was too late, because there was no Porky Pig to
stammer "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" and bring the nightmare to an
end".
