My Sentiments, Exactly . . .

(via Instapundit)

David Harsanyi speaks truth to the squawking classes
Since when is rooting for the success of an ideologically driven elected official a civic duty, you may wonder? Wonder no more. It merely depends on the politician.

Rush Limbaugh is right, and he expressed his disdain for the policy directives issuing forth from the Obama administration in exactly the right terms. It would be horrific for our nation if they manage (despite themselves) to succeed. We are a resilient, resourceful, and productive people, and even with an Obama administration hellbent on turning us into MegaSweden, we might actually manage to pull out of this recession even with the Democratic party doing everything in their power to undermine our economy and increase the grasp of the federal government.

If the economy recovers, they'll take the credit, and that would be a disaster, cause that would mean more policy suggestions like we've seen these past few weeks, and there's only so much of this nonsense that we can handle before we're plunged into French like economic stagnation and malaise.

So, failure now for Obama's policies, even if that means more economic hardship for the American people, will sow the seeds for a rebirth of economic responsibility, adherence to the federalist nature of our constitution, and decapitation of that evil zombie known as the New Deal (and it's recent manifestation in Obama's New New Deal). When Carter failed miserably in the late 70s, it was the best thing that ever happened to us as a nation, had by some bizarre miracle the economy recovered despite his idiotic policies, then we never would have had Reagan, and we might already be MegaSweden rather than the U S of Effin A!!!

[T]here's only so much of this nonsense that we can handle before we're plunged into French like economic stagnation and malaise.

This is overly optimistic. What the French have done might not be great, but at least in that country they try to steer the best people into government service from a young age. In the USA politics is the entertainment industry for those too ugly & untalented for Hollywood, except for when it attracts people not competent enough for the business world. (Admittedly that last doesn't seem like such a big deal at the moment, but it is.)

We're going to do socialism in as stupid a manner as possible. We're all about to get unicornholed.
