"We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!" In the context of the fight over the debt ceiling, Martin Frost says the Tea Partiers are the Taliban. John Kerry says they're "absolutists and extremists." William Yoemans, writing at Politico, says they're "full-blown terrorists." The one thing that unites the above worthies is that they are registered collectivist Democrats. Thus, this is why they talk that way, for their intellectual passports are stamped with a hammer and sickle. But what of The Wall Street Journal, seconded by John McCain? Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing — wrongly, he said — that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nation’s debt ceiling. By that flawed logic, “Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth,” he said, quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into G.O.P. nominees,” he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party candidates for the Senate in 2010. Hobbits? It is a measure of how removed from reality and principle these so-called "conservatives" are that they would think "hobbit" is an insult. And if tea party folks are "hobbits" that makes McCain Gollum, right? And the Wall Street Journal must be the Oracle of Saruman. In any case, as a New Mexico tea party leader told my friend Bob Wright, "the hobbits won." This was later echoed by Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. McCain’s thinking is pretty clear here — the One cannot be defeated, and so one must join forces with it. Had McCain actually read the books that he references, he’d have seen how well that worked out. By the way, just in case in you don’t recall … the hobbits win in Lord of the Rings. They got a lot of ridicule from the elite and the powerful along the way, but they end up saving the West from ruinous destruction.
Poster Comment: As Rand Paul said, I would rather be a hobbit than a troll.
The fiery, independent version of the Republican senator from Arizona took to the floor of the Senate Wednesday morning. Demanding “straight talk,” Mr. McCain accused conservatives of abandoning reason by opposing the House Republican leader’s plan to resolve the debt crisis.

McCain is truly stupid if he believes "hobbit" is an insult. Gollum, yes. Mordor, yes. Hobbit, no.
*Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I invite you to compare the number of Irish, Italian, German, and Scandinavian political philosophers who have written on liberty and limited government with the number of English philosophers who published works on the subject" - Vox Day
McCain doesn't have a clue and doesn't want one.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. Albert Einstein

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." ~ Ben Franklin "For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.” ~ Patrick Henry
Glad you liked it.

Martin Frost is a disgraced jew who was fired by his constituents. He's yesterday's bagels covered in moldy lox.
Dale Martin said... When John McCain was in Greystone in 2008 or so, I confronted him about his Marxist leanings...His flunkies said, "He'e a war hero, you can't say that..." I presented my DD 214 with all the medals on it.."I was a war hero too, got the DFC at 19! "So tell me Senator, other than gun control laws, what other aspects of the Third Reich do you endorse?"

While I would personally prefer it if the government went back to the Constitution as written by the founders I liked this comment. Ashrak said... Projection is the last bastion of the scoundrel. Spending has to be cut and the way to do that is to eliminate the vast majority of the alphabet departments, agencies and bureaus within the Executive and reign in those remaining as to authority and ability. As for debt already there, well, tell the fed to pound sand. Print the outstanding debt in cash, pay it off instituting a currency revalue in the process and be done with the reserve forever. Sure, a few tough years would result, but our kids and our grandkids will not face what they do now. It is worth it.

fuck them. devalue nothing after (or before) we hang those bastards..
Well, that would work too. I wouldn't be adverse to helping pull the rope on the scumbags who have robbed America blind.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
