Conservative Donnybrook

William Jefferson (Convict, LA) was sentenced to 13 years in prison for bribery and money laundering (which may be the first time in history someone demonstrated such utter incompetence by utilizing a freezer instead of a washing machine).

There is now, officially, no more reason to ever tune to CNN.

Lydia McGrew has a salient word on the “command” structure of “today’s military” that allowed, even enabled, Hasan the terrorist. The President empowers them.

Speaking of the President and his Marxist/Maoist advisory staff, he was forced to throw another one under the bus. Make that two.

This should (but won’t) assuage any lingering doubt that “free trade” is globalist socialism.

Speaking of which, we have a newly-coined self-descriptive for President Obama: “Pacific” American. (That he may be all in all.) This comes in the President’s groveling admission that we are, in fact, no longer the world’s superpower nor anything like a creditor nation. In point of fact, we do “not seek to contain” China, a “strong, prosperous China can be a source of strength for the community of nations,” and we will continue pretending to insist on reciprocity in trade. (Be sure to watch the brief video excerpt of the President’s remarks embedded in the BBC article.)

Here’s to another exciting week! Some of us here at the Conservative Donnybrook will be meeting with our attorney this week to finalize some details and continue making tentative plans for the inevitable funeral for the constitutional republic. Thanks to all who have expressed their thoughts and prayers for Uncle Sam. If he were capable, I’m sure he would thank you himself.

UPDATE: Uncle Sam has taken a sudden downturn. It doesn’t look good, friends.
