Reflections From a Murky Pond

Some disasters, due to the damage they wreak upon people and the shock the societal consciousness they cause, are fated for lasting fame or infamy. Two such horrific disasters that come quickly to mind are the Hindenburg and ObamaCare…

Oh, The Humanity

If Herb Morrison were still alive he could fairly reprise his famous commentary.

It’s a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. It’s smoke, and it’s flames now … and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring-mast. Oh, the humanity and all the patients screaming around here. I told you, I can’t even talk to people whose friends are on there. Ah! It’s–it’s–it’s–it’s … o–ohhh! I–I can’t talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, it’s just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk, and the screaming. Lady, I–I’m sorry. Honest: I–I can hardly breathe. I–I’m going to step inside where I cannot see it. Charlie, that’s terrible. Ah, ah—I can’t. I, listen, folks, I–I’m gonna have to stop for a minute because I’ve lost my voice. This is the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed.

The Hindenburg disaster in 1937, along with political and economic issues, hastened the demise of the Zeppelins. One can reasonably assume that the ObamaCare disaster in 2013 and ongoing, along with political and economic issues, will similarly hasten the demise of Obama and many Liberal politicians or, at the very least, leave their legacies permanently tarnished and infamous.

The similarities between the disastrous and failed roll-out of ObamaCare and the Hindenburg disaster are, however, limited. The Hindenburg was a short, sharp disaster and largely acute in nature; it happened and then it was over. ObamaCare is a more lasting disaster, one which we’ve only seen the initial damages from. In this sense it is more akin to the 1989 tire dump fire in Heyope, Wales which burnt, spewing toxins, for over 15 years.

The other and more horrific difference is that the loss of lives and livelihoods caused by ObamaCare will far outstrip either the Hindenburg disaster or the Heyope tire fire. In the end, if left unchecked, the ObamaCare disaster’s toll in lives and livelihoods will likely only be matched, if that, by the Holocaust.

ObamaCare is the law of the land despite the opposition of 100% of the GOP and the majority of the population of America. That train has left the station as it were.

ObamaCare Is Coming Your Way!

Of course much of that train broke down as it left that station and the ongoing failures and delays put the lie to the comparisons, some apt and some fanciful, between Obama and Hitler. Obama can’t get that train to run on time. 😉

But Obama was installed in office on the belief that he was a “game changer,” a messiah who would break all the old paradigms, prove the tried and true axioms wrong, and usher in a new age. So far, with ObamaCare the boy has proved the adage, “Better late than never” to not be universally true, so his followers weren’t entirely wrong.

Sadly, this is just a fantasy, albeit an extremely pleasant one to muse upon. Washington DC doesn’t even have the right sort of bedrock to be particularly vulnerable to sinkholes. There’s always a tsunami though. 😉

Washington DC Destroyed – No Help Rendered; No Tears Shed

The lack of horror, grief, tears, and rendered aid is also about what I would expect or, at least, hope for. Aside from some museums and a handful of monuments, none of which would survive a sinkhole like that, are the only things in DC itself that are worth trying to save or crying over the loss of. The the majority of part-time and full-time residents certainly have no worth and wouldn’t be missed by we, the American People.

File this one under Irony, or Schadenfreude, or Laugh So You Don’t Cry…

Federal Emergency Irony Management Agency?

Staten Island, battered fairly badly by Sandy, found out as Wednesday’s Nor’easter was rolling in that FEMA was closing it centers due to inclement weather.

Once, long ago, President Lincoln said that our nation must dedicate itself to the great task of ensuring that that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Obama, despite claiming that he seeks to emulate President Lincoln – unsurprising since Obama’s a Black – the boy has helped further and accelerate the ending of America’s government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Recent statements and actions by the Obama Regime’s enforcement arms make that very clear.

Authorities at both the state and federal level are making preparations for massive social dislocation, with FEMA recently ordering $1 billion dollars worth of dehydrated food – a total of 420 million meals – but Americans who buy food supplies in bulk are being labeled as potential terrorists by the Obama Regime.

Well, except for Muslims of course. The FBI’s marching orders to Military Surplus stores included this wonderful little dog-whistle:

It is important to remember that just because someone’s speech, actions, beliefs, appearance, or way of life is different; it does not mean that he or she is suspicious.

That almost innocuous admonition carries a lot more weight coming from the regime that recently decided to alter all of America’s counter-terrorism training to make meet CAIR’s and ISNA’s “standards.”

Just remember, even though the government seems to be expecting large scale issues, if you’re American and White you’d best not try to stock up on basic emergency supplies, especially if you plan to pay in cash or don’t think you should have to provide ID in order to purchase non-restricted items such as MREs.

The Narcissist-in-Chief’s handlers and overseers don’t like it when you do that and they have large numbers of men with firearms and the federal courts system to enforce that dislike.

Keep your eyes open. Travel light but load heavy, and always put another round in the enemy after they’re down.
