Your latest post is a real hoot! I thoroughly enjoyed the parody. It was very well written.
Have you signed up for the Message Board offered by one of our TH Bloggers? I'll get the information for you, if you'd like. "Bobbie" posts notices of new offerings from her "Band of Bloggers" as they become available. There are many out here who would love to read your stuff.
All the best,
John

Hey Noam,
Fantastic, well thought out, articulate post; One of those "wish I'd said that" writings. Stop by my place please and consider joining up with other cream of the crop TH conservative bloggers. You're way too good to be getting such scanty traffic. We need all the conservative voices we can muster. Come on over.

Good Article Noam!
Well thought out. My main reaction is twofold: First, you can't spend yourself out of debt, second, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Perhaps the mid-term elections will change the make-up of the US Congress. If the House is lost by the Dumbocraps, some of O'Vomit's spending will cease. I hope and pray so.
I lived in Schenectady, NY in the 1970's and worked for GE. I hope upstate NY is as pretty as I remember it. My wife and I use to enjoy going to Lake George, Fort Ticonderoga, and Lake Champlain.

Noam, Forgive An Old Brain-Dead Country.
engineer. I read another blogger's biography before coming to your site. You are not from upstate NY; but Maryland. Sad to say, except for crossing your fair state by auto, I have never really visited there.
Still your article is on the money.

Hey Ghost...
Noam is straight from Marxachusetts. It's a comfort to know there are others out there like us. Next time you're in the neighborhood, stop in and cozy up to the proposed 25% increase in our sales tax. Our legislature wants to increase the sales tax from 5% to 6.25%! Our income is shrinking and the state revenues are as well. Their solution is to take more of our money. The official state remedy for a hemopheliac bleeding from an open wound is to apply leeches to the remaining viable flesh.

Nice to meet you all.
I look forward to getting to know you all a bit better. I grew up in the Rochester area, and lived to see Mario Cuomo dismantle it.

Nicely done, Noam
Those of us from the "Band of Bloggers" got the link from Bobbie's Message Board wherein she announces new posts by members daily. We just click a link and magically appear here!
Nicely written piece. I especially liked the parallels between D'ohbama and Mugabe. I'm sure that D'ohbama's goal is to "rescue us from the injustices of prosperity" like Mugabe did for Zimbabwe.

HI Noam
If you give Bobbie your email address, she'll send a message board directly to you containing the links to those who have recent posts. Her email address can be found on her blog page.
When you post a new piece, send her an email with your link and she'll notify everyone that there is some new stuff to check out. It's pretty cool. Let me know if you need anything else. Good luck and keep writing! You have a gift for it.

Welcome Noam
I have often used Zimbabwe on The Post, The Times blogs. I love your useage. And yes, I do believe that the USA is in a slippery slope to one party dictatorship if, if the public continues to believe the the malarky of the leftist socialist pacifists in the Dem Party. It will also nationalize all , all the free enterprise choice we have and that indeed will look like Mugabe! Drop by sometime.

Your post is great and thanx. The idea that really hit me was, “Another irony is that some of the Christians, for whom Obama uses Bible words, can use one breath to pray for God to alleviate the suffering in Zimbabwe, and another breath to pray for Obama to succeed with Marx’s Social Justice here in America.” This is a contradiction in thinking that I had not thought of. Excellent observation!
Welcome to the brigade, Noam. Please stop by sometime and have a look see at some of the posts on Our Posterity. Not to threaten you or anything (haha), but I will be back.

Welcome aboard to Bobbie's Band of Bloggers. I would hazard a guess that most of us fit Napolitano's criteria as "extremists", but, "a rose by any other name..." Glad to see you fit right in.
The Zimbabwe parallel is spot on. Kenya and Odinga are right behind them, with the same tactics having been used to get Odinga elected. Venezuela and Chavez as well...so nice to see where that brand of progressivism leads.
Great post!
