[Crooks and Liars] This language makes clear that they expect a Democratic president to enact policies (particularly regarding gun control) that will provoke "civil war." And no doubt, regardless of how cautious and centrist a course Obama charts as president, they will find those provocations. After all, consider how they reacted to the presidency of Bill Clinton, a cautious and centrist Democrat, not to mention a white Southerner.

[Pakistanpal's Blog] Fighting the wrong fight in Afghanistan « Pakistanpal's Blog: said Brigadier General James C McConville, a hard-driving Bostonian and a former National Security Fellow at Harvard who heads up the embattled supply chain for eastern Afghanistan. “You need to get to the root of the problem: when you are a young lieutenant, you would not want to wait 30 days for ammunition, so you should not have to wait 30 days to implement a village project.”

Many politicians assume that anything they do now won’t be an issue years down the road.

[The Asia Pacific Journal: Recent Articles] JapanFocus: Yet the difference in the geo-strategic context—as yet no politically viable East Asian Community, no large immigrant Muslim population in Japan, a geographically proximate perceived national security threat in the form of North Korea, and a deep suspicion of an increasingly powerful China—has left Japan a more dependable supporter state of the United States than Germany. The bipartisan Armitage-Nye report of October 2000 illustrates how far American policy has come to recognize Japan's strategic importance for U.S. foreign policy in East Asia, and how far it has left behind policies that regarded Japan as a client (as in the 1950s) or the subject of external pressure politics (as in the 1980s) (Green 2007: 147).

[Pajamas Media] Pajamas Media » Obama's Centrism Could Drive the GOP Out of Business: Claiming President-elect Obama is a centrist before he’s even taken the oath is premature, especially given his Chicago Machine background, associations with Weather Underground terrorists and ACORN leftists, former New Party affiliation, recorded public statements, most of his appointments (including a Socialist), state and federal public office voting record–when he wasn’t voting ‘Present’–and so on. President-elect Obama will go hard Left soon enough, once he’s calmed the (very legitimate) fears of slightly less than half of the electorate and consolidated the transition.

[Word of God] This! Part 1 « Word of God: Citizenship in the Rainbow Nation needs to be promoted as an authentic brand that genuinely offers:  security and support in exchange for a livelihood based on a basket of variables termed “the luxury of simplicity”.  In exchange for not paying taxes in the countries where they reside, citizens will agree to forego the benefits of the social welfare systems there.  The help available to them from their online supporters back home, in Mzansi - including credit - will be all they need.

In other words, they are looking for excuses to act out, and were finding them even before the election [okay so as not to date the book?] (the uproar over ACORN and supposed voter fraud, for instance, seemed posed to produce an endless array of conspiracy theories explaining how Obama cheated to win and undermining his legitimacy).

[New Articles on frontpagemag.com] FrontPage Magazine - War Blog: UC Berkeley students joined the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) last week to launch a national campaign urging President-elect Barack Obama to enact the federal Dream Act, which would legalize federal financial aid and open a path of citizenship for undocumented immigrant college students across the nation, who are otherwise entrapped in complicated paperwork.

If you doubt that at all, note the forgotten state of the moderate Democratic Leadership Council, and keep an eye on the public employee body count and the combined government share of national income over the next eight years.

[Cafe Talk Aggregator] Deanie Mills's Blog | Talking Points Memo | BE COOL, MY BEBBES: I've also been around long enough to remember how Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn twisted arms to get landmark legislation through, like Civil Rights and Medicare, when his own party was, at the time, the party of Southern Bigots. I've been around long enough to have seen Ronald Reagan wheedle, cajole, charm, and trick a recalcitrant Democratic congress to give him what he wanted.
