THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”-George Orwell

Ladies and gentlemen of the Right, you've been had. You thought you voted to stop Obama and the Democrats last month, but all you really did was make the Permanent Bipartisan Fusion Government angry. You poked the bear. And now the bear has crammed Cromnibus down your throats, just to prove it could. Here's how the AP reported the "Crompomise":
Republicans have muscled a $1.1 trillion bill financing government agencies through the House after President Barack Obama phoned Democratic lawmakers and urged them to back the measure.
The House approved the measure late Thursday by 219-206. The compromise bill keeps agencies funded through next September. Many conservatives opposed it because it did not block Obama's recent executive actions on immigration. A large majority of House Democrats opposed it because of provisions easing some restrictions on banks and allowing higher political contributions by big donors.
Obama backed the bill and called wavering Democratic lawmakers to persuade them to help it pass. The bill must now be approved by the Democratic-run Senate.
Did you ever think it would come to this? That Weepy John Boehner, a speaker of the House who makes Denny Hastert look like Sam Rayburn, would be an ally of Barack Obama? That he couldn't wait to hand the Democrats control of the nation's spending priorities while they were heading out the door and into the wilderness?
Let's face it: of course you did. Because, at root, both wings of the Permanent Bipartisan Fusion Party are playing the same game, but with different goals. For the hapless midwesterners of the GOP, it's about attending to process: writing bills, cutting deals, shuffling the offal through the sausage machine and then going back in triumph to their "home" districts (they're all Washingtonians now, but have to pretend to still care about East Jesus, Ohio, to get re-elected) and feeding this crap to the folks back home.
For Obama and the Democrats, it's about the long march through the institutions, about dismantling the structure of the Constitution by undermining it at every step. In short, it's about "fundamental transformation."
It has come to this after six years of Barack Obama's Chicago-style community-organizer governance: The hard Left no longer believes it necessary to pretend that the rule of law matters. It is politics as combat. The devolution can be measured from the trumped-up indictment of Tom DeLay to the trumped-up indictment of Rick Perry.
Back in 2005, the idea of exploiting prosecutorial power to criminalize one's political opposition was still sufficiently noxious that Democrat apparatchiks in Austin understood the need for camouflage. Tom DeLay of Texas was among the GOP's most effective leaders and fundraisers, having risen to congressional leadership not long after he helped Newt Gingrich lead the 1994 GOP takeover of the House. Democrats decided he had to be sidelined. They also knew they had the raw power to make it happen: a political operative ensconced as the chief prosecutor in a reliably Democratic county. In politics as combat, raw power is all you need — just cause has nothing to do with it...
