Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard details the collapse of the American left in a new editorial…

The left has collapsed.

Its political support has collapsed. Public opinion polls point to a historic repudiation of the president and the Democratic party this fall—something on the order of a 60-seat Republican gain in the House. The GOP has an outside shot at taking the Senate as well.

Its claim to intellectual integrity has collapsed. Paul Krugman—Ivy League professor, New York Times columnist, and Nobel laureate (the holy trinity of the liberal establishment)—has humiliated himself with a startlingly dishonest attack on Paul Ryan’s budget proposal. Krugman, called out by Ryan, rebuked by honest analysts, and unwilling to concede his errors, has retreated into uncharacteristic abashed silence.

Its Leninist discipline has collapsed. Last week, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs complained about the craziness of the “professional left” in the punditocracy. “Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs explained. “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian health care and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality. .  .  . They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.” Members of the professional left hit back at Gibbs, dubbing the Obama White House the “amateur left.”

The American media wants you to believe this is what happens at Tea Parties. In fact, this only happens when anti-capitalism leftists stage a protest.

Obama’s friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn must be proud.

Obama and his supporters on the left still don’t get it. They seem to have no idea that a majority of Americans just don’t like their policy agenda.

That’s why we end up with stupid articles from the Huffington Post about how America has become “ungovernable.”

Bill Clinton had two years on “offense,” when he tried to push an ambitious domestic agenda, followed by six years on “defense,” after his party lost control of Congress in 1994. Barack Obama, despite his determined posture in his State of the Union address, seems to have gotten just one year on “offense,” now that Scott Brown’s Senate win has Democrats running scared. When a 59-41 Senate majority plus a substantial edge in the House is deemed too slender a margin on which to enact a relatively centrist health reform, we may as well ask it out loud: has America become ungovernable?

We also get venom from people like TIME’s Joe Klein who blames all of Obama’s failures on the American people, who are just a bunch of dumb horses, too stupid to be led to water.

Absolutely amazing poll results from CNN today about the $787 stimulus package: nearly three out of four Americans think the money has been wasted. On second thought, they may be right: it’s been wasted on them.

David Harsanyi posted an excellent article yesterday at Reason.com which pointed out two things.

1. Government needs more checks and balances, not less.

2. The American left is full of shit.

Observe his awesome awesomeness…

If you’ve been paying attention to the left-wing punditry these days, you may be under the impression that the nation’s institutions are on the verge of collapse. Or that the rule of law is unraveling. Or maybe that this once-great nation is crippled and nearly beyond repair.

You know why? Because the 40 percent (or so) political minority has far too much influence in Washington. Don’t you know? This minority, egged on by a howling mob of nitwits, is holding progress hostage using its revolting politics and parliamentary trickery.

Leading the charge to fix this dire problem is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who advocates abolishing the Senate filibuster to make way for direct democracy’s magic.

It had better be quick. The populace is fickle. Jacob Weisberg of Slate believes that Americans are crybabies who don’t know what’s good for ‘em, causing “political paralysis.” Even President Barack Obama, after his agenda had come to a halt, claimed democracy is a “messy” process—as if that were a bad thing.

Imagine that we were living in an America where Republicans had control of the executive and legislative branches of government. Rich Lowry of National Review pens a piece saying that America has become “ungovernable.” Sean Hannity of FOX News devotes an entire program to the subject of “ending the Senate filibuster.”

Would the Paul Krugmans, Joe Kleins and Huffington Posters of America be nodding along in unison then?

Somehow, I doubt it.

Dan Savage is the editor of the alternative Seattle newspaper “The Stranger.” He is gay and he has been rightly critical of Obama’s lack of support for gay marriage.

However, in the following clip, as a guest on the Keith Olbermann show, he goes over the top. He claims that Republicans want Obama to get killed. This is outrageous on so many levels. Leave out the fact that Glenn Beck is a Libertarian, NOT a Republican. At least get your facts “straight” Dan. Furthermore, Conservatives Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Bachman have never called for violence against President Obama.

Conservatives respect and revere the office of the President, even if they disagree with the policies of the man who holds the office. There has NEVER been a case of a President of the United States killed by a Conservative.

In fact, EVERY single assault on the President of the United States has been perpetrated by a radical LEFTIST from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald.

Maybe Dan Savage should spend a few minutes reading American history rather than trying to re-write it.

EXIT QUESTION: Who is it on the right who is trying to enforce religious views on anyone? Note to Dan Savage: The “Moral Majority” ended in the 1980′s.

The only person I know who is appealing to religious communities is OBAMA! It is Obama who is reaching out to religious leaders in an attempt to push his own agenda.

If Dan Savage has such a problem with politicians using religion to push personal politics, he might want to start with the President for whom he’s so desperately concerned.

Could this story get any stranger?

Last night I wrote about Maurice Schwenkler who vandalized a Democrat office in Colorado to make it look like the crime was committed by Conservative ObamaCare opponents.

Tonight we have learned that not only is Schwenkler definitely a “progressive activist” but that he is also a transgendered man, i.e. a person who is physically female but lives as a male. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

DENVER — The suspect arrested Tuesday morning on charges of smashing 11 windows at the state Democratic Party headquarters is a transgendered “Denver-based anarchist” who goes by the name “Ariel Attack,” according to postings on radical gay-rights websites. A fundraising plea circulated by the self-described “radical queer group” Denver Bash Back! seeks donations to raise the $5,000 bail set for 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, who is “listed in the jail records and media under her birth name.”

I couldn’t possibly care less about Maurice’s sexuality, to each his/her own. I am troubled by the radical anarchism, though. And hey, what’s up with giving Shakespeare’s “Ariel” a bad name, huh?

As usual, Michelle Malkin and Gateway Pundit are on the case and way ahead of the American Pravda…

Michelle cites a report which shows “Maurice” has a prior record, perhaps through participation in the terrorist group called the RNC Welcoming Committee.

“On the last day of the 2008 Republican National Convention, he was charged with misdemeanor unlawful assembly in St. Paul, Minn. Court records provided through the St. Paul Pioneer Press show he was jailed about 2 a.m.”

Gateway Pundit confirms:

“The young vandal who smashed windows at the DNC headquarters in Denver on Tuesday worked for a democratic politician, was paid by a SEIU-related front group, and was arrested at the RNC convention last year in St. Paul.”

Here’s an idea for Maurice/Ariel…

If you’re so concerned about LGBT rights, why don’t you try protesting the fucking PRESIDENT???

You know, Barack Obama? The candidate the gay community rallied around?

The guy who now runs the country and clearly has no interest in gay marriage rights?

Some of us who are Conservative Libertarians, who might actually support your cause, are beginning to doubt your true intentions. We wonder if what you really want has more to do with the smearing of Conservatives than it does with gay marriage.

Between idiots like “Maurice” and Perez Hilton, you’re really not helping your cause.

That is to say, his base. I normally wouldn’t post videos by “The Amazing Atheist” but this guy has a HUGE and very lefty following on YouTube. When guys like this start saying Obama is weak and a sissy and also start admitting that George W. Bush was tough and more politically savvy than Obama, Conservatives should be paying attention.

Watch this.

Dissent under Bush was patriotic.

Dissent under Obama is a “mob.”

The wars in the middle east under Bush were “treason.” Obama hasn’t ended the wars and needs more troops for Afghanistan.

The left accused Bush of having a “shadow government.” Obama really HAS a shadow government.

Dick Cheney was accused of favoring Halliburton.

Obama really IS favoring General Electric.

Nancy Pelosi lies and  accuses conservative protesters of having nazi signs. Liberal Bush protesters openly acused Bush of being a nazi.

The left accused the Bush Administration of being Big Brother. The Obama Administration is OPENLY acting like Big Brother.

The left is accusing average American citizens of being astroturfers. Obama and his chief advisor David Axelrod are successful because of their expertise in astroturfing.

Bush critics said he was violating the civil rights of American citizens. Obama loyalists want ObamaCare protesters named, photographed and indexed.

Obama, the Democrats and their leftist base are engaging in and embracing EVERY SINGLE THING they falsely accused the Bush Administration of doing, and worse.

Down is up.

Poor is rich.

War is peace.

Elitism is equality.

Lies are truth.

Welcome to Bizarro America.

Remember back in January when Roseanne Barr said Israel was a Nazi State?

Well, here’s a photo of Roseanne Barr dressed as Hitler, eating a “Jew cookie” she just took out of an oven.

The photo was taken for a left wing magazine (somehow marketed to Jewish people) called HEEB. You can see the article here.

I don’t know what to say about these photos, except that they will not help the left or President Obama who is already mistrusted by Israel. Perhaps because the Jewish people know that Obama was supported by people like Roseanne Barr.

Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but I fail to see the humorous side of the Holocaust.

Aleister speaks.

Liberals hate women…

Open Left gleefully reports that Republicans are less popular among Americans than the dictator ruled country of Venezuela and cites CNN as its source:

“As part of my irregular series documenting unpopular stuff that is more popular than Republicans, new polling from CNN indicates that anti-American, oil-cartel, socialist block forming Venezuela is now viewed more favorably than the Republican Party.”

Allow me to wipe the snot from Open Left’s upturned nose… CNN is TANKING in cable news ratings and currently ranks in fourth place, barely trailing the lunatic ravings of Keith Olberbama. Read ‘em and weep:

CABLE NEWS RACE

Way to go on credibility! Open Left’s dedication to accountability and transparency ranks right up there with their Obamessiah.

Maybe the next time they decide to cite a news poll they could use a source that ranks higher than Nancy Grace.
