The Age of Heroes

Steyn in form, really nails down the fate of FCP under Da One Obamakles. It's almost as if he's plagiarizing our riffs:
There is Rot, well, rotting: "If you’re feeling a sudden urge to “invest” in a gallon of tequila and a couple of hookers and wake up with an almighty hangover and no pants in a rusting dumpster on a bit of abandoned scrub round the back of the freight yards"

There is Le Pew, well, being Aristo French and fleeing: "Wall Street Journal calculated that if you took every single dime — that’s 100 per cent — of the over-250K crowd, it barely begins to pay for this program, even before half of them flee the the country."

There is PPSoc sketched precisely: "But it doesn’t matter. Because Big Government is the ultimate hero, and the private sector is merely a supporting role. Last week, the president redefined the relationship between the citizen and the state, in ways that make America closer to Europe. If you’ve still got the Webster’s to hand, “closer to Europe” is a sociopolitical colloquialism meaning “much worse.”

There are Tecs and AA, Realitymongers, and their escape plans, oh too accurately pinpointed: "Is the new all-powerful Statezilla vulnerable to anything? Unfortunately, yes. He loses all his superpowers when he comes into contact with something called Reality. But happily, Reality is nowhere in sight. There are believed to be some small surviving shards somewhere on the planet — maybe on an uninhabited atoll somewhere in the Pacific — "

There is MFT, the Si..er Dakotan, Exile, being disabused of his childish notions of studying History, or penetrating into the skein of human thought and civilizations. After a stint at Reeducation Camp Room 101 he will, one day, be reborn: “Gee, thanks, Governmentuan!” says Diplomaboy the Boy Wonder, as he goes off to college to study Gender As A Social Construct until he’s 34."
In this Age of Heroes we run, or we fight, or we learn to Love Big Government. The "Do Berkeleyites dream of Soviet Sheep" label no longer applies. The sheep are here, and the red shepherds are hunting for us coyotes.
