Blast From The Past: Kanye West Attacks George Bush

Looking back, some moments distill the zeitgeist and portend the future in a frightening way.

Kanye West is an icon of Stupid Chic. His comments about Hurricane Katrina are aggressively inane and being an early adopter if not a pioneer of the Stupid Chic movement, he would parley his affected idiocy to attain levels of fortune and fame that mortals can only dream of.

One clip captures so much:

1. The rise of hyperpolitics. Your grandfather probably did not foresee the politicization of the weather. Then again he probably did not foresee the politicization of sports and entertainment either.

2. Any negative comments about Republicans in general and George Bush in particular, no matter how ridiculous, will be encouraged and rewarded.

3. Extrapolating from this clip we can see the meteoric rise of Stupid Chic that would usher in Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and the rise of a plethora of Affected Stupidity pop stars such as the Kardashian Industry, of which Kanye would become a cornerstone.

CELEBRATING THE RISE OF DELIBERATE STUPIDITY

Are Big Media And Hollywood Lining Up To Apologize to George Bush?

"Bush Lied. People Died." WRONG! Bush did not lie about weapons of mass destruction, including uranium that was likely procured from Niger. Iraq, so it seems, was a reservoir for chemical weapons. Saddam Hussein might have provided Assad with sarin and mustard gas as well.

Yes, the evil George Bush told the truth about Iraq which is more than we can say for every major news outlet. And it turns out it was not "all about oil." Did we see even a drop of Iraqi crude? Had it been all about petro ISIS might never have become oil barons and we would all be better off for their impoverishment. Don't guess Bush will get an apology for the oil piracy charge either.

Never underestimate the Hive's capacity for hate or their contempt for truth. Whatever talents you might possess you will never lie or hate like Ed Schulz or Al Franken or Sean Penn. Leave those pursuits to the masters.

Bush was a profligate spender whose loyalties seemed to be more with the Beltway than with Main Street. He expanded federal influence in an imprudent if not reckless manner. And W helped create a housing bubble and knew not what to do when it burst. But George Bush was also an honorable man and a patriot. We always knew that.

Anyone want to apologize to George W. Bush? Chris? Keith? Maureen? Oliver? Anyone?

It's Still Bush's Fault

Has anyone ever enjoyed a more pampered life than Barack Obama? Imagine a life where no one ever held you accountable for anything. For the brainwashed, nothing, nothing, nothing will ever be blamed on their messiah. As much as I dislike George Bush I do feel a lot of sympathy for the man. I suppose the myriad flaws in the Affordable Care Act can also be blamed on Bush. Yes we can! http://politicaloutcast.com/2013/07/gallup-poll-its-still-bushs-fault/

Two Can Play The Alinsky Game

I keep hearing the Dems and media types say "The election is over. Let's put the rancor behind us." In other years, it might be the perfect response to "get over it."

Not this year. Not after the Dems spent $250 million to assassinate the character of an incredibly decent man. That number does not include the free assistance the Networks provided. Let us also remind everyone that Obama's attacks were divorced of fact.

Romney was never a murderer. He never caused cancer. He was never a tax cheat or a felon. He has never been a misogynist. Lies on tops of lies on tops of lies. Truth means absolutely nothing to Obama, the Democrats and the networks. Nothing. Now we are supposed to be civil? I think not.

Before Romney there was the character assassination of Sarah Palin. Truth was also optional in that case. So was the smear of George Bush. Yes, Bush was a nincompoop but he never started a war over oil nor was Hurricane Katrina a genocidal conspiracy nor did he drain middle class bank accounts to provide more wealth for the top 1 per cent.

There are several lessons to the recent election but I will limit our focus to just two. One, lies work. No one has ever lied like Obama. That's because no one has ever had the license to do so. The news media kept politicians in line. Dick Nixon might have had treachery in his heart but his falsehoods were limited by the fourth estate. The news media allowed the Obama campaign (and the Obama Administration for that matter) to lie with impunity. We ain't getting over it anytime soon.

The second lesson to learn from the last election is that negative politics work. Whereas, I do not advocate that we ever practice dishonesty under any circumstances, I do advocate reciprocal negativity. Romney took the high road and lost. What might have worked in the Reagan era won't work in the Springer era. Two can play the Alinsky game. Let's play it now. 365 days a year. No offseason.

So when the snakes ask us to kiss and make up, do remind them that their messiah is an admitted crackhead, a chronic and compulsive liar, an unrepentant Marxist, and according to multiple sources, he is a serial sodomizer. Remind them of this, every time Obama's name is mentioned. Every time.

No lies. No offseason. No mercy. You got two middle fingers. Use them.
