Since You Would Then Disagree

Clash! Clash of the Morons!

Victor David "Thuycides Said Knock You Out!" Hanson, berating the Stupid Hippies for their naivete in believing the US of A can ever do anything to challenge Red China on human rights issues (from below):

Liberals, as are all Americans, are rightly angry over Tibet, but since a dictatorial communist China holds over $1 billion dollars in U.S.-government-backed bonds, it is unlikely that any street protesting will lead to much more than a few meaningless resolutions in Congress

Erick "Red State Uberwanker!" Erickson, in full-on squealing hissyfit, because Barack Obama said this (note - Firefox does not like that Political Radar site, for some reason):

"It's very hard to tell your banker that he's wrong," Obama said, after talking about the need to restore America's stance in the world, "And if we are running huge deficits and big national debts and we're borrowing money constantly from China, that gives us less leverage. It give us less leverage to talk about human rights, it also is giving us less leverage to talk about the uneven trading relationship that we have with China."

Causing Erickson to wet himself thusly:

Barack Obama's spine is apparently made of jello. No wonder the guy's wife has never been proud of America and thinks people are really mean. Heck, her husband is ready to hand the keys to the nation over to China and welcome them as our communist overlords....

If Barack Obama will not stand up to the Chinese for their persecution of Christians, Tibetans, Falun Gong, and their persecution of people in general who speak out against their government, he is not fit to lead the land of the free and home of the brave.

Why?  Because if Barack Obama is too intimidated by a bunch of communist Chinese, he is a wuss.

I wonder if VDH knows that EE thinks he's a total pussy. I look forward to the footage of their hair-pulling slapfight at the next CPAC. Of course in such a struggle one would clearly give VDH the advantage.

(Erickson's manly he-man tough-guy act is awfully convincing, one must surely concede. I wonder if Hu Jintau even knows just how tiny his penis is in comparison to the penis of the fellow who runs the Red State blog.)

I'm going to play contrarian and claim that it's a good thing that we owe the Chinese a trillion dollars. Democracy American-Style has completely failed to rein in our war-crazy leaders, but maybe our Chinese bankers will be more effective. "Another war? Well, I've been looking at your credit history and I'm sorry to say we can't approve your application. Next!"

I've always been amused by how the Wall Street Journal editorial page, which breathes fire about Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, becomes all circumspect and diplomatic when it comes to what used to be called Red China.

Yeah because Bush has been real manly towards the Chinese. What, he hasn't? Well, I'm sure he'll get right on that, after he's done holding hands with some Saudi Prince.

You do kinda have to love that Erickson's inane misreading was corrected, very politely, within five comments (four if you assume the deleted comment really was spam, as asserted) - although the response to that helpful explanation suggests that at least one member of the RedState readership really doesn't want to have the obvious explained to them.

Warren Terra: Thanks for directing me to the comments where I read the inane ramblings of one "Joliphant" whose insightful musing ends with this:
""Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” -Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4, 1777"
and all I could think was what extreme fatigue it must be for Joliphant supporting freedom on the front lines, from mom's basement where sometimes the dumb bitch forgets to buy enough Yoo-Hoo to keep his thirst quenched, and even, one cold November morn, forgot to buy Cheetos.
The gripping saga of how he persevered will have to wait for another day.

Hey, you missed the best part:

as one of the other contributors here said the other day, when you owe the bank $1 million, the bank owns you. When you owe the bank $1 trillion, you own the bank.

Get that? We own China! Yippee! Hey, Charlie Chan, I want me some moo shoo pork and I want it right quick!

Just shows how brilliant our President is, to carry out his secret China-owning plan right under the noses of those gullible Chinese! Suckers!

Oh, and how did that "You own the bank" thing work for Argentina?

[SocraticGadfly]

Thersites, I actually have complained about Obama myself. BTW, as ABC has pointed out, Obama has a friend on the group that's trying to land the 2016 Olympics for Chicago.

Wouldn't be just a coincidence that he hasn't talked about boycotting the Beijing opening, unlike both Hillarity and Schmuck Talk Express™ now, would it?

Can't you just smell the fresh breeze of the Politics of Change™?
