I am regularly disappointed with the universe of conservative commentators but two instances of conservative commentariat failure stand out and they both involve Barack šHUSSEINš Obama.
(Iām joking. I always thought it was annoying when people used Obamaās middle name excessively although itās sometimes hilarious if you really emphasize it to troll them)
The first instance was when Barack Obama said
āNo red states, no blue states, just the United States!!ā
Jiao Bideng has also spewed this dipshit line.
Oh how inspiring. What a dickhead. When Obama said that, I looked around and waited for somebody in the conservative commentariat to say something and no one did so I paused, poured myself a drink, looked around again to make sure nobody was going to say anything and then I screamed at the skyā¦..
āThatās the entire point of the fucking United States you fucking idiot sack of shit!!! Having red states and blue states is literally the most important part you asshole!!!ā
It was a stiff drink.
Of course heās not actually an idiot sack of shit. Heās an evil sack of grievance hustling and he 100% hates the United States which is why he is undermining the entire concept of the United States with innocuous sounding cliches designed to nudge the citizenry towards embracing authoritarian centralized direct democracy.
Remember when Obama said he was a ācitizen of the worldā? That was a hint. Remember when Obamaās favorite pastor, his pastor of 20 years who he loved so much that he listened to tapes of him with his family on long road trips, said āGod damn America thatās in the Bible!!ā. Well apparently he thinks āGod damn Americaā is in the Bible and he thinks āStates are just there to be a memorization drill for school-aged childrenā is in the Constitution.
The second instance that made me want to march over to National Review headquarters all stompyfoot and kick everyone there in the crotch for dereliction of duty was Obamaās DNC speech where he talked about our founding documents and said
āBut embedded in this document (the Constitution) was a North Star that would guide future generations. A system of representative government. A democracy!!ā
Okay so if you look at the United States and you think that the awesome special trick that we used to make it work was ādemocracyā, letting people voteā¦..you think THAT was the special sauce that no one had thought of beforeā¦ā¦god dammit someone please just hit me in the face with a shovel I canāt take it anymore. Thatās like saying the special thing about Kim Kardashian that makes her popular is dark hair. Okay maybe Obama is just a moron.
All of this is my way of saying that federalism is the most important thing. Ever. Giving people choices and keeping decisions local is key. Thatās why I support ānationalismā but oppose using the term ānationalismā because it has obvious branding issues. Thanks a lot, Mussolini.
This is where Jonah Goldberg is the worst offender on earth, but there are others. He says that he LOVES federalismā¦.but then he also hates nationalism which is literally just federalism for the globe. Split the country up in to states to keep it decentralized and split the globe up into nations to keep it decentralized.
You canāt have welfare with open borders and you canāt have āfree tradeā with regulations. Otherwise companies will just break all of our laws and put a container ship in between the factory and the customer and call it free trade.
Turns out, giving Chinese communists full custody of your supply chain is a bad plan. Who would have thought?????? Fuckinā morons. Sovereigntism doesnāt force you to isolate from China or from the world generally, it just forces you to think twice before āglobal cooperationā turns into suicide.
This is why I propose rebranding ānationalismā as āsovereigntismā. Itās a term mainly used by Quebec, which is a bad sign because they are French ding dongs but I still think itās good. You ditch all of the nationalism baggage and focus on the only thing the nationalists really want: national sovereignty. The countries are different, we work together, but we all do our own thing. Itās called diversity. Actual diversity.
China and France can blow themselves and they should have ZERO say on how much carbon we emit. Sovereigntism. If you thought the people attracted to national government were nasty, corrupt, dripping sacks of diarrhea, please take a peak at the reprehensible psychopaths who are drawn to global government. Iām looking at you Klaus Schwab, you stupid bitch.
This is where I start to identify strongly with that one guy who was chasing the toppled and dragged statue of Saddam Hussein through the streets of Baghdad and slapping it in the face with his sandal. I feel you bro.
Sovereigntism.
With regard to "sovereigntism," I think we've had this for a while, and it used to be called "parochialism," the interest in local issues and concerns. This word has taken on a tragically negative connotation in our increasingly global world and the "citizen of the world" types in particular are opposed to this concept but the older I get the more and more I realize that parochialism is where our focus should be.
Bari aint' got shit on you Kevin. Keep on truckin' brother.
