The Shinning City on the hill is no more…

A City upon a Hill is a phrase from the parable of Salt and Light in Jesus‘ Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 5:14, he tells his listeners, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” It has become popular with American politicians. The term is also influenced by Plato’s Republic and the concept of the “good city” – a city-state governed by philosopher kings.

A Model of Christian Charity

The phrase entered the American lexicon early in its history, in the Puritan John Winthrop‘s 1630 sermon “A Model of Christian Charity“. Still aboard the ship Arbella, Winthrop admonished the future Massachusetts Bay colonists that their new community would be a “city upon a hill”, watched by the world—which became the ideal the New England colonists placed upon their hilly capital city, Boston.^[1] Winthrop’s sermon gave rise to the widespread belief in American folklore that the United States of America is God’s country because metaphorically it is a Shining City upon a Hill, an early example of American exceptionalism.

I cannot remember one time seeing President Obama address the American People from the Oval Office

I could be wrong about this but it seems most of his speeches come from the White House corridor or the Rose Garden.

Constraining and Restraining the Liberal Migration. Our only Hope

Once upon a time, millions upon millions of young people dreamed of moving to California.  Nearly endless sunshine, pristine beaches and a booming economy made it seem like paradise to many.  But now those days are long gone.  Unemployment is rampant, home prices have fallen like a rock, violent crime and gang activity are on the rise, local governments all over California are facing horrible financial problems, millions of illegal immigrants have poured into the state, traffic around the big cities is nightmarish and tax rates are absolutely outrageous.  Plus there is the constant threat that your home could be destroyed by an earthquake, a wildfire or a mudslide.  In recent years, hordes of hard working families have decided that they have had enough and have decided to move away from California.  In fact, since the year 2000 more than 1.6 million people have moved away from the state of California.

Liberal Democrats are migrating to successful Conservative States to escape the failed economic policies of their Liberal States.  Have they learned a lesson?  I highly doubt it, and like a Cancer they will spread their influence to healthy State and local governments across the land unless they are contained and restrained from spreading their DRD4 genetic code.  They will continue to  breed and spawn yet another generation of tree hugging utopian idiots who are clueless and morally depraved.  We need a plan to contain this disease before the entire population becomes infected.

The Hopelessness of the Hope and Change President

Americans more downbeat than at any time since Carter, poll says

WASHINGTON –  As President Obama begins his second term, he is facing an increasingly pessimistic public who believes that America’s best days are behind them.

According to a recently released Gallup poll, 39 percent of Americans rated the current climate of the country as positive. That’s about the same as it was in 2010 — and has been the lowest recorded by Gallup since President Jimmy Carter’s term in 1979.

Gallup asked Americans to rate their feelings about the country today, five years from now and five years ago. Based on a scale of 0 to 10, the 39 percent of Americans gave a 6-to-10 rating when asked to evaluate the nation’s current climate. 

Taken together with the 2010 reading, that’s just above where the country was at the end of the Carter term — when inflation was high and the economy was reeling.  At that time, just 34 percent had a positive outlook. 

Optimism steadily rose after 1979, peaking in about 2001 at 73 percent — since the 9/11 terror attacks, national optimism has steadily declined. 

Now, with unemployment slightly below 8 percent and economic growth continuing at a meager pace, a similar malaise may be setting in. Even the outlook on the future is down. Forty-eight percent were upbeat about where the country will be in five years, also the lowest since 1979. 

The survey also found that most Americans’ attitudes toward the status of the country are connected to their political views. Republicans believe that when there is a GOP president in power, things are better. The same rings true of Democrats and their mood based on the party in power.

When it comes to the future, the polling agency found a 60 percentage-point partisan difference in optimism. Only 15 percent of Republicans felt positive about the future, compared to 75 percent of Democrats.

The Gallup poll results are based on telephone interviews conducted Jan. 7-10, 2012, with 1,011 adults. There is a 4 percentage point margin of error.

ZING: Hit the Road Barack Newsweek Cover Author Niall Ferguson Destroys Critics

Hat tip to The Blaze and Mytheos Holt for this story

Author of ‘Hit the Road’ Newsweek Cover Story Skewers His Critics

Being a conservative in any predominately liberal environment is difficult. Being a conservative at Newsweek is likely prohibitively difficult. And being the conservative whose message lands on Newsweek’s cover seemed, until this week, to be nigh impossible.

Enter Niall Ferguson, the rogue columnist responsible for the recent Newsweek cover story calling for President Obama to be voted out of office. Ferguson’s article has been slammed by several different sources for what those sources claim are factual inaccuracies and/or arguments in bad faith. Ferguson first acknowledged these attacks when he hit back against New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for misconstruing an argument that Ferguson had made about the Congressional Budget Office.

Well, now Ferguson has extended his attack beyond Krugman to the entire academic Left in a blistering four page blog entry countering numerous claims that Ferguson considers unfair. Most of the entry gets very deeply into the policy weeds, and if you want to read them all, you can look at Ferguson’s full take-down here. However, we do want to call your attention to the end, where he mockingly hands out “prizes” to his critics for specific varieties of ridiculousness:

First prize goes to Berkeley professor Brad DeLong, whose blog opened with the headline “Fire-His-Ass-Now.” “He lied,” rants DeLong. “Convene a committee at Harvard to examine whether he has the moral character to teach at a university.” My own counter-suggestion would be to convene a committee at Berkeley to examine whether or not Professor DeLong is spending too much of his time blogging when he really should be conducting serious research or teaching his students. For example, why hasn’t Professor DeLong published that economic history of the 20th century he’s been promising for the past six years? It can’t be writer’s block, that’s for sure.

Runner up is James Fallows of The Atlantic for his hilariously pompous post “As a Harvard Alum, I Apologize.” Well, as an Oxford alum, I laugh.

In third place comes Krugman with his charge of “unethical commentary … a plain misrepresentation of the facts” requiring “an abject correction.” The idea of getting a lesson from Paul Krugman about the ethics of commentary is almost as funny as Fallows’s apologizing on behalf of Harvard. Both these paragons of the commentariat, by the way, shamelessly accused me of racism three years ago when I drew an innocent parallel between President Obama and “Felix the Cat.” I don’t know of many more unethical tricks than to brand someone who criticizes the president a racist.

And, finally, a consolation prize for righteous indignation goes to Dylan Byers of Politico (“ridiculous, misleading, ethically questionable”).

Ouch. That is going to leave a mark.
