How long did that take to write?<br />I think there is a huge market for such a book, and I encourage you to keep at it. So many people are discouraged, but all is not lost that is in danger. The failures of the Community Organizer in Chief are so obvious that even the Media is embarrassingly aware, and it's becoming too painful to continue supporting such a fool. He's doing what they want, and showing them how sad their goals and beliefs really are.<br />The book will have a happy ending; I can tell.<br />Regards,DenisOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-91677180105845087802014-02-09T19:18:08.177-05:002014-02-09T19:18:08.177-05:00Playertwo: Orwell's "Victory" gin wa...Playertwo: Orwell's "Victory" gin was simply bottled rotgut on a par with what people brewed in their bathtubs during Prohibition. It certainly wasn't "alcohol-free" or even watered down. It packed a punch, and often a lethal one. It made Winston Smith's eyes water. But then, in the world depicted by Daniel, there'll also be scoreless baseball, a week's worth of food stamps for the wrong answers on the new "Wheel of Fortune," and two years' hard labor in Alaska for carving "Johny Loves Jane" on a tree (that would come under environmental crimes and abusing the rights of plants, enforced by the EPA).

The US already has a 90% incumbency rate. How else does a man like Biden remain in the senate for almost four decades?<br /><br />Americans epitomize Hubris-not in the sense the World uses it-as an expression of envy-but a Hubris borne of the deeply-held and long-cherished belief that they are special and that everyone in the world can be as special as them if they only try.<br /><br />This most extraordinary delusion coupled with a stubborn unwillingness to make a fuss or to think too hard has resulted in the destruction of the finest country ever made. <br /><br />Plain old pride. Let every man become a Kingmaker. Let every man become his own priest. Let every man decide whether he is a man or a woman. I believe that's called "the slippery slope."<br /><br />America was always doomed. The rebellion and the destruction of Tradition guaranteed its demise. As it did for France and Europe. It's been a good run, but its over. Unfortunately, we're at the tail end. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing. What's indisputable is that what comes afterwards is really harsh. I'm optimistic that I won't be around for it.BarryCudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00072506650765020069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-34023449009200755552014-02-09T17:59:16.083-05:002014-02-09T17:59:16.083-05:00Chilling portrayal of the end-point of the policie...Chilling portrayal of the end-point of the policies of the Democratic Left.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-48616688130726013352014-02-09T17:58:13.459-05:002014-02-09T17:58:13.459-05:00Yes indeed, I can only think of that great philosi...Yes indeed, I can only think of that great philosipher of the 20th century, Alfred E Newman.
