So, you’ve stumbled onto my humble little blog. Perhaps you are a Millenial wondering why most of your friends aren’t fully employed. Or wondering why ObamaKare is being shoved down your throat. Or why your generation is on the hook for a national debt that stands at $17 $18 Trillion and counting. Maybe you are scratching your head wondering why your President thinks Global Warming the weather is more worrisome than Islamic Terror. And perhaps you’ve started to become aware there might be something the corrupt and biased lame stream media isn’t telling you. The answer, to these and other existential questions, is ... the Left - specifically, the modern American Progressive. Think of this site as a portal to a richer understanding of this answer, a portal purposely designed with a consciously cock-eyed bent to keep it entertaining. Because the First Amendment is forever and the Internet never forgets. (Plus you better figure out FICA isn't the name of a Swedish bikini model, before she eats your entire paycheck.)

How to use the portal? You could dive into my archive*. I was most active here 2010-2012, but that matters not. How many times do I need to demonstrate the central point? To wit, the political / ideological Left is a menace to the constitutional republic and must be resisted lest the American experiment in liberty devolve into socialist dystopia. If it's the more pointed hand-to-hand combat of the comment board that whets your appetite, click the 'My Disqus Comments' widget. I continue to visit that world from time to time as a light diversion. Or you could browse through my blog roll. It's a very representative collection of center-right blogs, though hardly exhaustive. I can't do the political / ideology thing 24x7, and you probably can't either. Leave that to the hysterical, talking point chanting, mob agitating, race baiting, election stealing, gaia worshiping, straw man torching, Islamic Terrorist appeasing, organized Left (aka OFA, MSNBC, UAW, SEIU, Think Progress, Media Matters, most of legacy media, the politically correct faculty lounge, anybody who belonged to Journolist, anybody connected to Occupy Wall Street, anything funded by George Soros or Tom Steyer, their paid Internet trolls, and the rest of the usual Team Leftie suspects).

Rick Santorum is Right

The news of the day has been saturated with reportage, analysis, and opinion circling the drain around one word uttered by today's leading GOP Not-Romney candidate.

Big Government neatly summarizes the facts of Rick Santorum's use of the word 'theology.'

==

Santorum is right. Barack Hussein Obama is the titular head of the American Progressive Left, for whom the state sits above all. Statism is their theology. Period. End of sentence.

The American Progressive Left believes the state should be empowered to correct all perceived wrongs, determine economic winners and losers, direct the tiniest minutia of each and every subject’s existence. To the Progressive, there is no institution that should not be required to bow to the all-knowing dictates of the state; not the church, not the family, and certainly not any citizen so misguided as to actually believe he or she is endowed by any power higher than the state with a right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. In the American Progressive's theology we are all Oliver Twist, reduced to requesting permission for each additional allotment of gub'ment rationed gruel.





==

All respectable Progressives are in fact theologically (strictly speaking) atheist. This is why they feel compelled to pursue the dictation of a form of heaven on earth by way of state directed "fairness" for "all." As history amply shows, the result is always equality in bleak misery - due to the inherent limits of the human condition and their fatal conceit (Hayek’s term).

BHO, as the political front man for the Progressives, in what is still a Judeo-Christian country, cannot be so honest as to openly proclaim his total detachment from the fly-over rubes clinging to their bibles (and guns). He has to pretend to be a Christian, to further his theology of statist equality for all on Earth. It's his job.

==

And now I am reminded of a something that came up on the television screen while I was half not paying attention to Brett Bair's report tonight. Santorum, compelled by the protocols surrounding his position as today's leading Not-Romney, apparently said something like "if the President says he's a Christian, then he's Christian."

Unless, of course, if he's a liar, Rick. Joe Wilson was right, too.



Update 2/22/12

Media hyprocisy on display, edition umpteen bazillion .... It's OK for Barry to assume the cloak of Jesus as POTUS, but scary for Santorum to talk about Satan as a private citizen.

Matt at Conservative Hideout and LAS collaborate to give Santorum the advice he needs.

LAS commenting at CH:
You've hit on the best response Santorum can make to this caricature assassination attempt - essentially ignore it. That is, play the context card as you lay out, then instantly switch the subject to limited constitutional government and economic growth - which he has shown he can also be articulate about. The bonus is being convincing on limited constitutional government automatically diffuses any concerns about imposing religious values via gub'ment - kind of like JFK giving the speech stating he won't take orders from the Pope.
