Is the Martin Luther King Memorial Barrycaded? Town Without Pity

What is astounding is that anyone ever takes Harry Reid and Chucky Schumer seriously (other than themselves), let alone Obama. m/r
During the shutdown, Harry said, there’s no absolutely reason why he or Chuck Schumer should want to help a child who’s suffering  from cancer. It’s more important to defend Obamacare, he continued, slurringly, because “It’s working now and it will continue to work and people will love it more than they do now by far.”

The American Spectator : Town Without Pity


Washington brings out the worst in its rats.


Vladimir Putin continues to influence the Obama regime. Back in the ex-USSR, you don’t know how lucky you are, boys (and girls, and all points in between), until you and a few friends plan to gather outdoors and instead are greeted by barricades, police cordons, and goons on horseback — or just the sort of sight that confronts taxpaying tourists on their arrival in our nation’s capital. Whether it’s the new Martin Luther King Memorial or the venerable Lincoln Memorial, we’re talking about no-go-zones-or-else, a policy that now surely outdoes Barack Obama’s previous “signature” achievement. So how much do you think that autograph is worth? Another sixth of what’s left of the American economy?
Remember, it’s only a partial shutdown, if not impartial. America’s Putin is keeping himself busy, summoning congressional leaders to his office in his public housing only to boot them out when he remembers he has nothing to say to them. Next day he travels again, to an asphalt plant to collect more tar with which to resume his smearing. He will not negotiate with terrorists, he and his team aver. They seem determined to prove a larger point they’ve insisted on from the start: Terrorism and radical Islam are not synonymous. Perhaps they’d have a case were it not for the undisciplined Obamaist who’s now said House Republicans are engaged in jihad. Let’s wish Rep. George Miller a safe and happy trip to Mecca.
Over on MSNBC the other morning it was good to see Carl Bernstein in red diapers again. “And I think what we’re seeing is a redefinition and understanding of Barack Obama’s presidency,” he stalinized, laying the groundwork for purge trials — meaning there is a need “to protect the national security from this dangerous demagogic element that is on the precipice of really having a kind of power that’s ruinous in America and ruinous to democracy.” Vyshynsky couldn’t have put it better. And who’s the evil creature running the Tea Party’s saboteurs? According to Carl, it’s Eric Cantor. And he didn’t need to hear it from Deep Throat. But if a milquetoast like the gentleman from Richmond drives him bananas, how is he to consort with Senator Mikulski, who has her own obsessions with those she sniffingly called “Tea Baggers”? Much as it hurts our pride to say it, Obamacare has come along in the nick of time. If it can’t provide Carl with the difficult care to which he’s entitled, what will? The congressional health plan, perhaps, which allows doctors to make dacha calls and covers indefinite stays in padded psychiatric wards, no questions asked.
Carl Marx is not the only internationalist calling House Republicans ruinous to democracy. ...
