End Times

Well, I have to say, the more I hear about Ayers or the New Party or any of that, the less I care.  It all seems very much beside the point in light of this whole financial catastrophe and the very absurd, very scandalous bailout that has passed Congress.

These days are just insane.  For instance, The National Review just came out with an editorial praising the Frank-Dodd mortgage bill and lambasting the McCain version.

Michelle Malkin has just shrugged off the news of Obama’s apparent socialist ties, saying:

There’s a lot of blog buzz over Barack Obama’s membership in the socialist New Party. You can read about it here, here, and here.

A year ago, I might have gotten as worked up about this as everyone else seems to be.

But after watching a GOP White House and Republican collaborationists fork over billions upon billions in socialist aid to private businesses, presiding over the most massive nationalization efforts I’ve seen in my lifetime over the past year — and then watching John McCain pitch his Treasury Department-as-national loan servicer plan during the debate — it’s hard for me to muster up much more angst than I already have.

Truly, we are approaching End Times.

So it’s only fitting that we’re about to possibly elect the most inexperienced and fundamentally wrong Fundamentalist Christian to the VP slot, doesn’t it?  I mean, first its a financial meltdown of epic proportions, then it’s Malkin with statements like that, then plagues of locusts and rivers of blood…

Then what?  Nationalize the banks? We may have to.  As it stands, the lack of Federal oversight into this whole bailout may be leading us down the road to ruin:

Welcome to another aspect of banana-republicdom. In a banana republic, the members of the national legislature will be (a) largely for sale and (b) consulted only for ceremonial and rubber-stamp purposes some time after all the truly important decisions have already been made elsewhere.

Things just don’t look good, when AIG is sending its execs on $400,000 spa/retreats, and still managing to rake in another $40 billion in bailouts.

Then again, if this is the End Times, maybe AIG has it right.  Take all the taxpayer money you can get your greedy little hands on and then go spend it on lavish retreats.  Hell, that’s what this whole corrupt system has been doing for years, isn’t it?

Time to buy gold, guns, and land, I think.  Gold is a sure thing.  Land can keep you and sustain you.  And guns can make sure your gold and your land don’t disappear.  It’s the American dream, baby.
