Heh. In the same sense the big He was our first black president:
The Axis of Evil has certainly picked up on this. Not a week goes by without Kim Jong-Il or Iran’s Ahmadinejad or some other pipsqueak tin-pot wannabe figuratively bitch-slapping the POTUS. Every week another news story features another fascist thug playing the role of Moe from the Three Stooges to Obama’s Shemp .
“America’s role in the world” is easier to categorize and denigrate when it fits the liberal narrative of “America is always wrong.” Everyone has been down with that because it is safe harbor in the current media environment.
It takes on a different cast when the message is “Americans are worthless wusses to be abused,” which is where our president is leading us. Everyone may not be down with that quite so much, because the media cheerleading won’t be as credible.

Way to go , Joe. Insult the President and all women in one fell swoop. I know plenty of women who would think you’re a wuss.
I agree with zimzo, by comparing the president to a woman, you are insulting all women. By mentioning ‘bitch-slapping’ you are comparing him to a dog. The Snoopy lobby is insulted. The dogs talked to some mook named Tony. I would check my brakes and not answer the door if I was you Joe.
No kidding. My daughter would kick your ass for making such a comparison.
While it is an insult to most conservative women, the liberal women probably LOVE this comparison
Anyone remember the miniseries ‘Amerika’ from the 1980’s? This is the Pledge of Allegiance from the Soviet controlled United States:
This was a speech given by a youth in the film:
I’m with Zimzo and Jacob. You’ll be back on the couch tonight, honey. And not the same couch as the puppy.
“The dogs talked to some mook named Tony. I would check my brakes and not answer the door if I was you Joe.”
I’m offended at your reference to “some mook named Tony” – clearly a hateful reference to the so-called “Italian Mafia” as contract killers.
These hateful comments only reinforce negative stereotypes; they are are hurtful and hate-speech. You should chastise yourself severely.
I’m also offended at joe and zimzo’s use of the term “wuss” in such a negative way. Is there something wrong with being a wuss? Just because someone’s weak doesn’t make them less a person, does it? This kind of hate speech will not be tolerated in the new America. Now chastise yourself. Severely.
“honey”? That’s unwanted sexual harrassment. This kind of hateful behavior …
Sheesh I thought we as a nation had moved beyond such hair trigger gender sensitivity …
W. Nelson, Never saw “Amerika” – but have been thinking about “Red Dawn” lately.
Joe
You should have compared him to a little girl. Their lobby is a lot smaller in more ways than one. Although the Girl Scouts can if needed throw down with the best of em.
Yipes! “kick your ass”…”insulting all women”…”back on the couch”…”you’re a wuss”…”check your brakes”…”don’t answer the door”?!!! Doggone, posting something on NVTH is sometimes not much different from taking a stroll through Central Park at midnight!

It is a novel. The author wrote it in the 1980s when he became frustrated with pacifists. They did not understand the evil of the USSR, so he wrote a book (made into a miniseries) that portrayed life in America under the communists. I think ‘Amerika’ fits better than “Red Dawn” because in ‘Amerika’ the communists took over America without firing a shot. It was American apathy, as in this quote from a Soviet leader describing how the US was taken over in a bloodless coup:
These quotes were also very gripping:
Joe, I really don’t see the problem (which is why I always remain in the dog house, I think) since all you were doing is relating other stories to the NVTH site: being the messenger. I applaud your bravery and stupidity in this matter. And if you want the “good” couch, I’ll be glad to babysit the dog. Hey, think nothing of it. After all, what are friends for?
W Nelson, I always think of Red Dawn because of the cry of “WOLVERINES!!!” – perhaps in tribute to our dear poster hear on NVTH??
I will put Amerika on my list, as it is I am just getting around to Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged – I am a late bloomer.
Yeah the sad thing is I’m sort of a couch guy anyway because of the insomnia but I do appreciate the gesture, ACT, and may need to take you up on it. The puppy would love it, I’m sure.
Cmac, just finished Atlas Shrugged for the second time. My advice: Plow through. It is well worth the effort and highly relevant.
Another great book is the fountain head.
