As we approach November, the frequency and variety of "TEOTWAWKI" (The End of the World As We Know It) scrivenings become almost oppressive. It's like Hitchcock's "Birds"--more and more of them, closer and closer, louder and louder....
Amazing what could happen with a non-Republican majority in Congress, eh? Oh, I don't like the possibilities; and there certainly will be some odious legislative "accomplishments" were the (D) cabal to become a majority...
Perhaps the most intriguing one is Newt Gingrich's obliquely-presented "World War III Is Here" election campaign strategy. Newt, a pointy-headed glamor-hound who has never shown an interest in anything but electing Republicans, now suggests that the Republicans would do well if they simply define the WOT (and the problems with NK and Iran, inter alia) as "WWIII."
After all, Republicans are better at managing wars successfully than Democrats!
In exquisite irony, Newtie includes 'troubles with Red China/Taiwan' in his laundry list of Things-Which-Make-Up-WWIII. Obviously, he hopes that we are stupid enough to forget that Newt and X42 empowered Red China by ramming MFN/PNTR status for Red China through Congress.
In other words, Newt was responsible for giving PRC the money to become a threat--the threat which he now warns us against. NOW he turns around and tells us that only the Republicans can save us from this threat!
Most of the 4 readers of this blog understand that I cannot support the Democrat agenda, whatever it may be. Fine.
But enough, already, of scaring grannies, women, and children with End-Times hooey.
Well said! I've usually liked Newt with regard to the Contract with America. If only the Repubs hadn't been captured by the system so fast. Since then, he's had some good ideas, but, you're right. He seems to like cameras as much as lawyers do. Oh, wait...
ReplyDeleteI think that we have already established with a great amount of certainty that the end of the world will occur sometime in November, 2012. 'Nuf Said!
