Contemporary Politics and Newton’s Three Laws of Motion (Part 5)

This blogging stuff is difficult work. It’s hard to come up with something worth reading by other people on a regular basis. Fortunately, this conservative blogger has a framework to fall back on when the creative oil pressure is a little low.

So, continuing along with the Newtonian physics theme - following is a laundry list of recent actions, their immediate Left Wing reactions, their immediate Right Wing reactions, selected cartoons from the Townhall Cartoons page, and my long term projection. I hope you find it an easy and enjoyable read in these perilous times.

Action: Anonymous SUV owner leaves his vehicle smoking and parked in the middle of Times Square.

Left Wing Reaction: Golly, I hope it’s a TEA Party guy. That would fit today's official Leftie narrative.  Fingers Crossed!

Right Wing Reaction: Gee, D’ya think it might be a Jihadi? D’ya think?


Long Term Projection: Mr. Obama’s policies in the War on Terror will slowly but inexorably morph into Mr. Bush’s policies, but no one in the MSM will be allowed to notice.

Action: Arizona passes and signs S.B. 1070 to enforce existing Illegal Immigration law.

Left Wing Reaction: All Arizonans are racists, fascists, and TEA Party terrorists!

Right Wing Reaction: Maybe Arizonans are sick of counting the Illegal aliens and drug mules running through their backyards.




Long Term Projection: Border security will be addressed before amnesty. That was not necessarily the case before. Bravo to Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer!

==

Action: Off shore oil rig blows up for the first time in forty years or so.

Left Wing Reaction: Told you so! Those greedy big oil villains never cared about the fishes and the birds!

Right Wing Reaction: Shit Happens. Pray for the eleven killed. Timing is kind of interesting, though….




Long Term Projection: We will acquire more oil from ANWR and other on-shore sources because we need it, it’s safer for humans, and it’s less risky for the environment.

==

Action: Senate begins debate on financial regulatory reform.

Left Wing Reaction: Told you so! Those greedy Wall Street villains are finally gonna get theirs!

Right Wing Reaction: So what? The usual suspects will make out.




Long Term Projection: I doubt anyone will remember in five years.

==

Action: President Obama launches phony deficit reduction commission.

Left Wing Reaction: Yippee! New taxes to pay for the ballooning social welfare state!

Right Wing Reaction: Shit! New taxes to pay for the ballooning social welfare state!



Long Term Projection: I fear we will become Greece. I hope we will have the will to fix the real problem: and cut federal spending.

Say, what’s your illustration going to be on May 20?

  1. Good one. I think your analysis is complete. The platform going "boom" is rather unusual, isn't it?
