The Reference Frame: Mad radical leftists win in the U.S. House

It became extremely clear from the proceedings that virtually no one has read the bill, especially not the brand new 300-page amendment. No one in the U.S. House actually owned a copy of this amendment during the proceedings. John Boehner, the GOP minority leader, is close to an exception and we will discuss some of his findings below.

The supporters have uniformly been delusional imbeciles, talking about a shiny future, added jobs, reduced deficits, and saving the world. They have clearly no idea what's written in the bill and even if you told them, they wouldn't understand what it would mean. They're not capable of an elementary mental activity.
...
Let me tell start somewhere. The very size of the bill, 1201 pages, means that most people - and even most "local experts" - have absolutely no chance to understand all of its glitches. (I offer USD 5 to the first person who shows some evidence that he or she has read the full text.) So this bill is, first of all, a stunning document transferring an immense amount of power to a few selected people who will know how to master the bill and benefit from its details.

For a comparison, a pretty good bill called the U.S. Constitution originally had four pages and it allowed a great country to work well for 230+ years. Those four pages are somewhat less than 1201 pages whose only purpose is to allow one particular green tumor to thrive for a few years, before it dies of hunger.

Brown’s Billions for Climate Change - Guy Fawkes' blog

The Prime Mentalist will succeed only in putting our children into debt that will last generations. No other G7 country supports this position because they are not led by loons. They have budget deficits to worry about, Britain’s deficit is the worst, last month alone the government overspent by £20 billion. Britain is broke, a government that can’t pay it’s bills has resorted to printing money to buy its own government debt and has run out of things to tax. They are planning to tax phone lines.

CentreRight: Barack Obama shows that moderation of style is more politically potent than moderation in policy

Barack Obama has shown us the most important quality that a successful and radical politician needs is civility.

It's true that he has passion and charisma and a brilliant campaigning machine but it is his civility that has persuaded Americans to swallow his policy radicalism.

And, make no mistake, Barack Obama is America's most radical President of modern times. Yesterday, hardly noticed because of Michael Jackson's death, the House of Representatives approved very radical action on climate change.
