And We're Back: Enduring America at Full Service

Actually, we didn't go away. A big thanks to Ali Yenidunya, who did such a great job looking after Enduring America that Mike Dunn and I are thinking of taking another week's holiday. Ali has a new analysis today of the aftermath of the meeting between President Obama and Palestinian Authority leader Mahomoud Abbas as well as an inside critique of the latest US manoeuvres with Syria.

And, as a thank you to our readers, we'll have a Sunday treat: "The Young Cons", two conservative rappers laying down the real deal on taxes, Atlas Shrugged, and Guantanamo Bay --- "Superman that socialism, waterboard that terrorism".

Fight the Power: Rapping for Lower Taxes and Waterboarding

Straight up. Two freshmen at Dartmouth College, "Serious C" and "Stiltz", having grown up on the mean streets, have styled themselves as "The Young Cons". They take on the authority of the man (especially the man seeking same-sex marriage) with lines like "Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally", "EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily", and "Superman that socialism and waterboard that terrorism."

Just think of this as the love-child of Vanilla Ice and Sarah Palin.

(Powerline, which salutes the "wit and learning in equal parts" of this duo, are asking for additional lines for the rap. Enduring America has made its initial contribution, and we invite readers to join us in this political-musical quest.)

"Bailout" not as in salvaging or rescuing but as bailing out of the legal process, ethical considerations, and any responsibility....

Video Shocker: Obama is Hitler (And You're on His List)

Via Media Matters:

Our favourite delusional paranoid and/or talk-show shyster, Glenn Beck, reworks the poem about the Jews, leaping from the AIG financial services group to the auto industry, to prove that Obama/Hitler is "coming after you":

President-Possibly-A-Muslim: Obama Bows Down...Again!

Latest Post: Video Alert - Obama Does Not Bow to Saudi King

Last month Enduring America brought you the controversy surrounding Obama's apparent bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. We were sceptical, but after a link from a major news site brought us thousands of new readers, it was established that the bow could mean only one thing: President Obama was secretly a Muslim and a terrorist (cos al-Qaeda terrorists love the Saudi royal family, doncha know). Now he's at it again...and we have the picture to prove it.

The cat's out of the bag- President Obama is clearly bowing to this child. Just where do his loyalties lie? To the American people? Or to five-year-olds?
