Welcome to Your Small World, Suckers

Reading Mark Steyn today, he mentioned in passing one of my persistent observations about the strange new world being engineered in Washington; a world in which all, except for the elite, lead smaller, much smaller lives than ourselves or our parents. Lives made smaller because they were sold and bought stunted dreams from a willfully diminished history. Where all are equal all are smaller.

Since my mind moves easily in paths of strange association, I caught an echo of the most irritating of all Disney songs and Disneyland rides, "It's a Small World After All." And so I naturally sought out a mercifully short video with which to enhance Steyn's quote below. Imagine my surprise when I came upon this video that proves that making a Smaller World After All is not only Obama's dream, but his favorite ride at Disneyland. Click on it and feel free to shoot yourself when you can't stand it a moment longer.

"Look around you, and take it all in. From now on, it gets worse. If you have kids, they'll live in smaller homes, drive smaller cars, live smaller lives. If you don't have kids, you better hope your neighbors do, because someone needs to spawn a working population large enough to pay for the unsustainable entitlements the Obama party has suckered you into thinking you're entitled to. The unfunded liabilities of current entitlements are $100 trillion. Try typing that onto your pocket calculator. You can't. There isn't enough room for all the zeroes, and, even if they made a pocket calculator large enough, and a pocket large enough, you'd be walking with a limp. To these existing entitlements, Obama and his enforcers in Congress propose to add the grandest of all: health care, on a scale no advanced democracy has ever attempted." -- Mark Steyn: Dark dawn of deemocracy

I'm concerned about this effort in California to force porn stars to wear condoms. What, haven't they ever heard of the separation of crotch and state?

A people who place their futures into the hands of misanthropes no longer have a future.

Electing a communist to preserve a republic wasn't bright, either...

An endless parade of government SNAFU.

Is Mark Steyn sorry he moved here?

Posted by: Kate Rafferty at March 21, 2010 9:25 AM

Are you kidding? He moved from Canada.

I note, in passing, that one often finds more love and dedication to the ideals of America in its immigrants than one does in the many coddled slobs that were born here.

Count me as one of those -cherish America more than my born here acquaintances- idealists Mr Vanderleun.

They look at me as if I came from Mars...That is when they aren't busily yapping about Lost, or how global warming is gonna affect the Organic Humboldt Skunk market.
