America in one 6,000 lb. package
1/22/10
You want a symbol of America? Look no further than the nearest parking lot in Utah. It's the truck. It's the pickup that the average America uses to haul stuff.

Think about it. Americans own trucks because Americans are able to do things that require trucks. Every man in America (except Rachel Maddow) has installed sheetrock at some point. I didn't see many trucks in Europe. I didn't see many Home Depots, either. Americans own welders and Proto toolboxes and hydraulic jacks and--that pinnacle of technology in a civilized society--cordless drills.

Americans do things for themselves. It is the hallmark of what makes us Americans. It's what caused our forefathers to tell the royalty in Europe to take a hike. Pickups represent the American ideal of getting 'er done.

The fact that Obama thinks ridiculing Scott Brown's truck was a good idea is all the proof you need. Obama hasn't the first clue what it means to be American.


Moving to the center
And other fairy tales
Some people are saying that the Massachusetts victory will force Obama to move toward the center. You can find those people in the pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

We've chatted about this before. For all their radical beliefs, Bill and Hillary will do what's best for their political careers. And oftentimes, as the Founders counted on, that means doing what the people want. When they got hammered in 1994 they reluctantly moved toward the center for their political survival.

Obama is an ideologue. He will pursue his agenda no matter what the consequences.

First, Obama's political survival is not in jeopardy no matter what he does. He has a free pass. The state-controlled media and Kool-Aid drinkers have too much vested in him to ever dare criticize any move he makes.

But beyond that, Obama is a radical. He's an extremist. He is Bill Ayers and Van Jones and Malcolm X and Ahmadenutjob. Obama will never yield even if it spells political suicide. He is the Muslim that is willing to blow himself up for the cause.
