Cowboy Confessional

Tom Lehrer, one of the funniest men to ever croak out a tune, allegedly gave up the parody songwriting business because reality became goofier than anything he could author.  Had something to do with Henry Kissinger winning the Nobel Peace Prize.  Tom is still with us, and must be cross-eyed over Barack Obama winning the same piece of costume jewelry.

Some people don’t understand parody because they can’t see irony, even when it is about to kick them in their political crotch.  Such is the case of the new One Nation consortium of organizations with stated goals of transferring U.S. land to Mexico, extending tenure to all government employees, and a former civil rights group (NAACP by name, and lest you believe they still stand for civil right, just look at their amicus briefs in the Heller gun rights case).

My buddy Chris Muir – the brain behind Day by Day Cartoon and the first man since Robert Heinlein to consistently celebrate strong women in his art – demonstrated today one irony the left simply didn’t get, namely that their chosen name opposes what they stand for, not to mention it may be in copyright violation of a Muslim American organization (which if Gawd is in a good sense of humor will ignite a jihad against the upstart One Nation squad).  Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer is becoming the slogan for the American political left.

By the way, drop by Day by Day and drop a few quid on Chris during his fundraising week.  Keep his assaults on The Man coming (yep, Obama is officially The Man).

The genius of America was egalitarianism (with the exception of that nasty slavery habit we had once had).  Everyone from your bartender down to the President was an equal.  As such, we tended to work together reasonably well.  It wasn’t until the federal government institutionalized organized theft that groups initiated open combat.  After all, when your neighbor has his hand in your pocket you have to counterattack (unless you live here in San Francisco, in which case it may be more of an invitation than a taking).

Each group in the One Nation cabal is, by mission statement or action, divisive.  The Center for Community Change is arguably racist and pushes for socialized healthcare.  The United States Student Association demands your money for their tuition.  I already covered the Nation Association for Aging Communist Puppets.  And anyone who doesn’t understand the self(ish) interest and pocket picking expertise of either the Service Employees International Union or AFL-CIO probably only survives due to Union Shop law.  The positions of these organization are not those that unite a nation, and thus can never lead to forming One Nation (irony).  It is arguable that these groups are primarily responsible for the divisions we face daily – ones created by the favoritism that only federal legislation can create.

They don’t get the irony of their own existence, which explains why they seem to have no sense of humor.  Little is funnier than irony.  Well, Nancy Pelosi goose-stepping in a brown blouse past her Führer will be a bit more amusing until corrective action is taken in November.
