While the furjectivist community seems largely dormant today, its last great struggles took place largely in Second Life, where furry and non-furry followers of Rand alike maintain a virtual Objectivist Institute.

From skimming the virtual newspaper article covering this “great debate”, the furjectivist pixel people apparently debated, or didn’t sufficiently debate, Communist pixel people (one of them named “Comrade Supercool Sautereau”), and everyone was disappointed.

But that’s already more than I want to know about virtual-reality-based furry-objectivist political debates, so I’ll stop here.

A TinEye search reveals that the word “Liberals” was photoshopped over “Some people”, which I imagine would make a fitting bumper sticker to go next to that decal of Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes urinating on your car.

The guy in the background calling Matthews “major league Clymer … big time” is a reference to a live-microphone accident in 2000 when a campaigning Bush remarked to Cheney, “There’s Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times.” Cheney replied, “Oh yeah, he is, big time.” Matthews, one assumes, must also fit this category.

The King Street Patriots (the group behind True the Vote) at one time used this doctored photo in an older recruitment video:

Somebody needs to make a list of everyone who has had contact with Rush in the past several days.

Hope his doctors are republicans.

I pray for Rush every day. Extra prayers will be said for his quick recovery.

PLEASE GOD PLEASE MAKE SURE RUSH IS OK. I absolutely adore him. Please God let him be Ok. This is stunning news. First I had no idea he was even in Hawaii, then I hear this..Please Lord protect Rush Limbaugh.

Why the hell would he go to Hawaii with vermin being there at the same time???

No lie, the single most important man in America right now is Rush Limbaugh, because of the clarity he brings to the state of American politics. I do not know what I would do without him. There is no close second.

Just turned on FNC. They are running a RERUN of Hannity! They’ve GOT TO BE KIDDING! They should run a 24/7 prayer vigil until he recovers. This is so upsetting – I know I’ll be up praying all night. Father, in the Name of Jesus, please restore Rush’s health completely. He is the most powerful voice of conservatism our country has to offer, and his voice is critical in helping restore our country to the values upon which it was founded. By your wounds we were healed! I ask in faith, in the Name of Jesus.

If anyone with ties to Obama has had contact with Rush, I want them investigated. 0bama probably had somebody slip something in his ice tea. Wouldn’t put it past these commie bastards who are running and ruining our country. Who is the biggest voice in America rightfully slamming obama at every turn, every move to 20 mil Americans Mon-Fri. Who is 0bamas biggest thorn in his side. Who would 0bama want to “go away” the most on “our” side? How’s that hope and change working out? Get better Rush. Without you we’re f’ed.

Prayers up… I wouldn’t put anything past the leftist slimes either though.

I’m almost in tears right now.

You’re thinking what I’m thinking—Rahm Emanuel, the Terminator. I hope Rush knows enough not to order up room service while Obama and his gangsters are anywhere in the vicinity.

Prayers. I bet Nancy Pelosi did this. Poisoned a cigar or something.

I don’t trust Hawaii to take care of him. This state is a disease – I know having lived there for 10 years. I wish it had never become a state. They hate us.

Meanwhile, liberals are tweeting in glee [HT race42008]:

Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital in Honolulu. Maybe Santa did get my letter.

DIE RUSH LIMBAUGH YOU F***ING PIG MAN JUST F***ING DIE

I was scared of another death this year til I heard Rush Limbaugh was in the hospital. Come on 2009; don’t fail me now<omg

Ruch Limbaugh hospitalized with chest pains. Let’s all hope he dies.

YES VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS! RT @cnnbrk Radio host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital with chest pains.

Rush Limbaugh in serious condition in the hospital? Oh happy day! Are they sure he didn’t just ingest too much hillbilly heroin?

So Rush Limbaugh in the hospital? If he dies, 2009 won’t be so bad after all #JustSayin

Rush Limbaugh rushed to the hospital? Are the Death Panels in place yet?

Rush Limbaugh had a heart attack?!?! Its a late birthday present!!!!!!

Rush Limbaugh, say hello to LUCIFER when you get there my friend

Is Rush Limbaugh terminally sick? Yippee

Smite Rush Limbaugh in 2009!

This just in, Rush Limbaugh hospitalized. How much you want to bet the words “hookers” and “blow” aren’t too far behind?

i now heard this rush guy is an asshole,Rush Limbaugh,i hope you die in hell mother fucker! >:3

if rush Limbaugh dies ill let 09 slide on taking MJ

RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR HATE CRIMES. LET HIM DIE

I hope RushLimbaugh is saved by a black homosexual doctor with a questionable immigration status.

The gist of that last tweet about Rush’s doctor was retweeted hundreds of times, leaving this tweeter confused:

Don’t understand tweets wishing RushLimbaugh has black doctor frm RL haters. Are they saying black doctors bad? Or that black doctors kill?

IT MIGHT BE TIME NOW
Posted on December 28, 2009

During her [Napolitano's] tenure Arizona was number 1 in the country according to the number of kidnappings and number 2 in the World. Why did Obama pick as a director of Homeland security one with the worst record? What is the real intention of this Kenyan, Indonesian communist usurper? Is it to provide security for us or to destroy our security? Judge for yourself.

Seeing targeted destruction of our economy, our security, dissipation of American jobs, massive corruption in the Government, Congress Department of Justice and Judiciary, it might be time to start rallies and protests using our second amendment right to bare arms and organise in militias.

The Obama socialist Christmas tree decoration program has the wingnuts up in arms about Yule balls. This year, the White House enlisted schools and community groups across the country to help collage balls for their Christmas tree. As a result, objectionable and degenerate art images — such as Andy Warhol’s painting of Mao, Mt. Rushmore with Obama’s head pasted adjacent, and a drag queen flanked by rainbows — were pasted by volunteers atop at least three separate balls. These send strong signals to FReepers that the Obama Administration, like its Rainbow Mao Xmas balls, is unpatriotic and mocks religious values.

Fox News has reported on the Yule balls scandal so that you may decide.  (The LATimes has a better round-up.)

Want to meet one of these evil Yule ball decorators? The Daily Show had a hilarious piece interviewing decorators and their detractors last week:

Of course, the wingnuts at Free Republic had much to say about the Yule ball controversy. Most seem to think the Obamas themselves decoupaged these lovely Yule balls. Like Santa, we’re making a list (of common wingnut Obama memes), and checking it twice:

(1) Obama as anti-Christ

…there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts…

… The Mao Ball was probably suggested by Anita Dunne (as in “Mao is one of my two favorite philosophers”). Mao was an ideologue, not a philosopher. …

Hey, at least the muzzie commie SOB put up a Christmas tree.

That’s progress for that bunch.

Wingnuttiest wishes you a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.

The gravestone marked “R.I.P. Donald Young” refers to a choir director from Chicago that many wingnuts believe was murdered to cover up homosexual escapades and crack use between Obama, a man named Larry Sinclair, and Young. Really, people think this.

The picture was found on the thread “CALLING ALL PATRIOTS…WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE????!!!!!” that also contains this expression of pure frustration (echoing a Verizon ad slogan):

CAPS ARE ON ON PURPOSE BECAUSE I AM FED UP WITH THEIR CRAP!!!

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!!!

FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As well as this surprisingly anarchist take on how best to protest our socialist overlords (which sounds like it might come from The Church of Stop Shopping):

Also buy and sell on craigslist. Selling and buying used items privately from one person to another – there’s no sales tax.

If you have a hobby that you are skilled at, barter for other things. Your main job is what you make money at.

And cut down on buying things, so that may mean getting more ahead of time than you need at the moment to cut down on taxes.

Obama Risks A Domestic Military “Intervention”
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 10:35 AM
By John L. Perry

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn’t mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. So, view the following through military eyes:

• Officers swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to “obey the orders of the president of the United States.”
• Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.
• They can see that Americans are increasingly alarmed that this nation, under President Barack Obama, may not even be recognizable as America by the 2012 election, in which he will surely seek continuation in office.
• They can see that the economy — ravaged by deficits, taxes, unemployment, and impending inflation — is financially reliant on foreign lender governments.
• They can see this president waging undeclared war on the intelligence community, without whose rigorous and independent functions the armed services are rendered blind in an ever-more hostile world overseas and at home.
• They can see the dismantling of defenses against missiles targeted at this nation by avowed enemies, even as America’s troop strength is allowed to sag.
• They can see the horror of major warfare erupting simultaneously in two, and possibly three, far-flung theaters before America can react in time.
• They can see the nation’s safety and their own military establishments and honor placed in jeopardy as never before.

So, if you are one of those observant military professionals, what do you do?

Wait until this president bungles into losing the war in Afghanistan, and Pakistan’s arsenal of nuclear bombs falls into the hands of militant Islam?

Wait until Israel is forced to launch air strikes on Iran’s nuclear-bomb plants, and the Middle East explodes, destabilizing or subjugating the Free World?

What happens if the generals Obama sent to win the Afghan war are told by this president (who now says, “I’m not interested in victory”) that they will be denied troops they must have to win? Do they follow orders they cannot carry out, consistent with their oath of duty? Do they resign en masse?

Or do they soldier on, hoping the 2010 congressional elections will reverse the situation? Do they dare gamble the national survival on such political whims?

Anyone who imagines that those thoughts are not weighing heavily on the intellect and conscience of America’s military leadership is lost in a fool’s fog.

Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a “family intervention,” with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially accelerating agenda for “fundamental change” toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama’s radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don’t shrug and say, “We can always worry about that later.”

In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.

[As introduced on Free Republic:]

This has been on my mind for some time now as a real possibility.

For an alleged intellectual (which he ain’t!), Obama has been rather stupid in his treatment of and words about the military folks here (active and former — and there are a lot of them).

Emerging tyrants throughout history have either had to coopt the military or, like Stalin and others, eliminate the upper ranks and replace the officer corps with loyalists.

The bad news is that the service academies have been gradually infested with leftists teaching PC, multi-culturalism, internationalist One World crap for several decades. It’s anyone’s guess how these officers still on active duty will respond.

And if such an event does take place, I suspect there will be a division along racial lines but no way to tell what the numbers would look like.

Like the author, I believe it would be a fairly civil affair but, again, now way to be certain. It COULD get ugly before it is resolved.

I HOPE that oath they took to defend the Constitution — which I also took in 1962 — prevails and we can get back to undoing the damage Obama has done and get on with striving to be the America the Founders envisioned.

I’d write more but am off to rent the remake of “Seven Days in May.” The one with the HAPPY ending.

can you sleep
Posted on September 24, 2009 1:22:23 AM EDT

is there anyone else out there that feels something is so imminent, they cannot sleep. Maybe it’s the not knowing.Who would have ever believed in the USA

What follows is more than a hundred late-night comments revealing, completely un-self-consciously, their most paranoid fantasies and fears: of the new dual-purpose H1N1 quarantine / political re-education camps being built; worrying that noises in the night will turn out to be tanks rolling down the street bringing Obama’s Marxist takeover; speculation about UFOs watching us over Walla Walla, Washington; and several posts about how these troubles with insomnia began, interestingly enough, when they started watching Glenn Beck …

Emphasis ours below.

“Ever since I started watching Glenn Beck have this sick feeling of real trouble for this country. I do have trouble sleeping along with other symptoms of stress. This whole thing is making me sick.”

“almost every frickin night since i started watching glenn 3 years ago on cnn. everything just started falling into place then in my gut. hard to get up and go on as if everyday….”

“I didn’t sleep well/much for 2 weeks after the election of this MARXIST USURPER. It hasn’t improved much since then….”

“I’m up and it’s 2 am. I’ve been in a funk ever since election night when my country died.  At least the one I’ve grown up in. We will have loads of enjoyable company in the re-education camps cause all of us will be there.”

“I sometimes feel like Harry Potter in the HP movies / books where he can TELL Voldemort is coming and no one will believe him. I often send information on to family and friends about the latest government take over of this or that but I’ve been labelled a kook.”

“Yes, with lots of this:
‘What’s that noise?’
‘I thought I heard something.’
I’m expecting tanks to roll any day now.”

“I haven’t slept peacefully since Bush left Washington.”

“I cannot go to slep before 5 or 6am. This started after the election. My wife thinks I am crazy, but now I know that there are a lot others like me. I am obsessed with news updates (politically speaking) and always wondering what is coming next. I am, I belive, almost in a state of depression which is causing me not to sleep.!”

“My 82 yr old mother has been having this problem. She has been getting worked up over the direction our country is going. She speaks a lot lately of her father (German immigrant) and how he was so patriotic and must be turning in his grave. What really pisses her off is that she does not get a response to the letters she writes to her elected representatives. Not e-mail but snail mail in cursive with perfect English. I tell her to keep it up, keeps the blood pumping. She does take a nap in the afternoon these days, but sets her alarm so she does not miss Beck @5pm”

“Not only that (and now I’m joining the tin-foil hatters) but what about these H1N1 ‘camps’ some states are passing laws to provide? Imagine being dragged off there, away from family and all support ~ perfect set up for him to declare martial law.”

And here’s a breathtaking piece of prose by “WashStateGirl”:

“Its really really dark outside. Its midnight now on the west coast where I am. 3am on the East coast. Ghost time between midnight and 3am. Equinox time too. The days are getting shorter now and the Dark Times are right on our doorstep for many more months. Energy is leaving the world. I have just been outside walking the perimeter around my house. Watching and listening here in the canyon of hell. Things are quiet out there tonight. Almost too quiet. A cluster of trees hides me as I linger out on the point near the highway. No cars running. The stop lights in the distance flash their christmas colours just for themselves. A black cat appears next to me as I sit motionless on the tree. I am less than 2 feet from it but it does not know I am here. Quiet. It thinks it smells a human and it whips its nose around. Just then some crackhead looking creep in lowhanging bagger pants is coming up the street from the christmas lights on the other side of the street. The cat sees it coming. Maybe it thinks thats where the smell is coming from. We are both the same then. Dead quiet waiting for the bagger to move on but watching him intently. The bagger stops on the sidewalk and swats at his feet like something is biting him inside of his shoes. Move on sagger bagger, move on. He does. The cat leaves. I wait a bit and continue on the perimeter. Down by the river now. It was a hot day today in the 90s but now its cool at midnight except the river is still warm and smelling. You can smell every dead fish along its shore for a mile I think. That kind of humid dank river smell. Nothing. Everything is quiet. No unrelated body parts laying around causing me to stumble in the dark. The RV park downstream on the river a ways is quiet too. See? Everything is spooky quiet tonight. Too quiet. No explosions, no far off yelling and screaming, no meth labs blowing up and no coyotes yipping…

Binoculars to the sky now. UFO’s where are you? I know you are UP THERE… somewhere… watching me… nothing. DAMN. Just Venus. Venus is something I guess. The moon long ago set. Wait, is that light moving? Nope just a star. Not like a few weeks ago when that highly unusual object was doing 100 mile wide loops around eastern washington, from the eastern border all the way over to the airspace over walla walla some hundred miles away and back again. It got so small at the far end of its loop that it was almost gone in the binocs. But back it came, over and over and I swear one time when it was right over my house I saw 2 of them. Like it had split apart into 2 identical vehicles. A chevron shape and not much more. No fuselage. But tonight its even quiet in the heavens too…

So that my report. I came back inside to read FR. and low and behold here is a thread about what I was just thinking. SOMETHING BIG IS IMMINENT. I even wrote that same thing on a different forum just 2 days ago, like somewhere out there someone is planning or plotting to spring something on someone soon. Can’t put my finger on it. But I am being vigilant. Vigilance at all times. Everything seems quiet in the Pacific North West right now. Maybe I can sleep this morning. If I can stop trying to figure out this Glenn Beck thing that happened today. End of report. Bye. ”

Read these comments, and over a hundred more about how THEY are coming to get US, at the original FR thread “can you sleep”.

My 16-year-old daughter LOVES Glenn Beck. She was angry last week when her ex-boyfriend came by the house because she had to miss Glenn’s show. She watches it every day after school. The next day she told me Friday’s show was supposed to be good so she was going to watch it in her room and not answer the door. With the lights off. And the blinds drawn. And a loaded gun. (She has never fired a gun in her life.) She’s a serious viewer.
