Honor and Consequence

Yahoo News reports that North Korea threatens the U.S. with missile...

Here's the thing.

If we keep going the way we're going. If Congress passes the Cap & Tax bill, and institutes Nationalized Healthcare...er....Socialized Medicine...

...do I really care if the geek-haired-Mini-Me lobs a nuke at us?

In the old days when gentlemen behaved in such a way that their honor was besmirched, and their only alternatives were living with the shame of dishonor or death, they chose personal annihilation.

We are responsible as citizens for the dishonorable actions of an out-of-control, corrupt government through our participation, our neglect, our ignorance, or our laziness.

If this criminal enterprise we call Congress deals the final blow to our economy, our liberty, our prosperity, our future, our future, and our honor through the passage of these two bills that will literally enslave us...perhaps we are better off dead.

Better to go out with a bang that with a slow degrading slide into Third World status.

Zerø Laughs off the Crazy Little Troll

According to the Associated Press, Zerø is "downplaying" the threat from North Korea.

North Korea, meanwhile, is blasting off atom bombs and launching missiles over the heads of various and sundry neighbors.

Russia, on the other hand, is starting to worry that the whole thing could go nuclear.

But seriously, who do you trust, Obama or the KGB?

I say start digging a fallout shelter.

The Ill Kim Jong Spits in Zerø's Face

North Korea fires off another rocket. They've abandoned the armistice negotiated at the end of the Korean War, and threatened action against any attempt to keep them from exporting nuclear technology:

With tension in the region high, South Korea said it would join a U.S.-led initiative to intercept ships suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction, something Pyongyang has warned it would consider a declaration of war.

And they're blaming the United States:

PYONGYANG BLAMES U.S.

Pyongyang said the United States was the aggressor, its usual justification for making nuclear arms. "Our army and people are fully ready for battle ... against any reckless U.S. attempt for a preemptive attack," said its KCNA news agency.

Wait....how is that possible? The Souf-Side Messiah is leading the World into paradise...and PEACE and Hope and Change. He's apologized to everybody and promised we'll be a kind & gentle international impotent.

Hasn't Kim Jong Il gotten the memo?
