North Korea Begins State-Mandated Grief Process

Filed Under Nat'l Security, Politics, World News | 41 Comments

Kim Jong Il died yesterday, and as you’ll see below the people in that country are taking it pretty hard. They’d better or they’ll get sent to a labor camp.

Here’s a sneak preview of what the MSNBC newsroom will look and sound like after Obama gets voted out next November:

    Thanks Doug, my cold is still effecting my thinker bone; I couldn`t imagine why some of the poorest, most oppressed people in the world would voluntarily mourn in such a fashion. IT AIN`T VOLUNTARY !

    As Rush pointed out, Russians mourned Stalin`s death that way too ! Reminded me of the story of Stalin plucking a live chicken and then having the poor chicken follow him around the stage as he dropped bread crumbs to it ! Pitiful !

    Then again they may be truly mourning as with daddy gone the son has taken over. And from what I have heard that may be far worse for them.

  3. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 4:28 pm

    I can only imagine things getting "even worse than they have been" under the new kid with an even wilder hairdo !

  4. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 4:35 pm

    and a few more inches in height.

  5. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 4:48 pm

    Are his high heels taller, or just his hair ?!

  6. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 4:53 pm

    It may be both….he wouldn't want to make it too obvious.

  7. Jimbo on December 19th, 2011 4:53 pm

    This is the funniest thing I've seen all week. What bad actors. Nice pavement slaps though. I'd give those a C+.

  8. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 4:56 pm

    I really feel for the people there ! They have no choice ! But the Jimmah Carters and PMSNBC talking heads are slippin` on new pairs of kneepads as we speak ! Good grief !

  9. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 4:59 pm

    No surprise there. I am just waiting for Obama to call this an historic moment and probably take credit for a "regime change".

  10. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 5:04 pm

    As noted at MM`s to ILMC, Oblameless claimed credit for ending the Iraq War "on Bush`s schedule" and that we prefer to "win wars, not just end them !" I like that !

  11. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 5:11 pm

    I saw that and agree. The poster also pointed out that deaths in Afghanistan are up. So where is the nightly death toll on all the MSM channels?

  12. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 5:16 pm

    And now the administration is negotiating our defeat in Afghanistan:

  13. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 5:16 pm

    Good question; it was a constant drumbeat during the Bush years. It was like one of the monumental events of the history of the US when the death toll hit 1,000 ! As though they never heard of the accidental deaths of over 8,000 in one day during a rehearsal for the D.Day Invasion !

  14. backwoodsconsr on December 19th, 2011 5:18 pm

    I think you're right Doug. All that wailing and gnashing of teeth is from thinking about what their government will do to them if they don't act like they care.

  15. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 5:22 pm

    Read the sub-headline; is that what Panetta is up to ? Saw another headline yesterday, similar, didn`t read it though, but it sounded like he`s negotiating to lose and give away all our gains again !

  16. Hyperfobea on December 19th, 2011 5:23 pm

    "State-Mandated Grief Process"

    Hahahaha. Such theatrics! But wasn't their imperious former leader a big fan of acting? Doug, how about a clip from Team America: World Police?

    Arec Bawrdwin gets his ! Ha haa !

    Solid C+

    We need to get the Tea Party to stage mock SMGP demonstrations when Bammie gets pink slipped. We can even pass out O'Drama 2012 yarmulkes.

    Doug's right, that's exactly what the NBC war room will look like. But more because they threw all that money down a rat hole backing the wrong guy and the wrong AGENDA! We still have Cuba to look forward to.

  19. backwoodsconsr on December 19th, 2011 7:04 pm

    It sounds like what we're watching here is the Korean Mournlympics.

  20. Marshall_Will on December 19th, 2011 7:10 pm

    These are only the Opening Ceremonies. Wait until we get into the real heartache that Free Medical care won't work and taxpayers begin subtracting Green Boongoggles from the amt. of taxes 'owed'.

    They'll be impaling themselves w/ javelins four deep. Seriously, I'd love to see payers write (2) checks to the IRS. If the amt. owed is say 2 grand, make out a check for $1,500 and another for $500. Then VOID the one for five. Let them call YOU and ask what it's about?

  21. backwoodsconsr on December 19th, 2011 7:21 pm

    I think you're right about it being the opening ceremonies. We can expect this to be followed by equally intense efforts at acting overjoyed when the new leader is officially crowned.

  22. Doug on December 19th, 2011 7:34 pm

    Perfect!

  23. Doug on December 19th, 2011 7:35 pm

    They're acting like they were just told the Obama administration would be running their economy in the interim.

  24. Doug on December 19th, 2011 7:36 pm

    Should that ILMC idiot be banned at MMs, or does his doucheness fuel the conversation?

  25. Marshall_Will on December 19th, 2011 7:48 pm

    Yeah uh pffftt, silly me! Then all will be right in the world and they can be shuttled right to back-to-back shifts in the salt mine after the ceremony.

    Meanwhile [here] under Obamunism there will be genuine wailing and gnashing of teeth as make-work/machine patronage 'jobs' dry up and blow away. State employees work on the assumption that as long as the workload gets 'covered' they can pretty much make their own hours.

    That's coming to an abrupt halt. Let the pavement slapping begin in earnest!

  26. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 8:15 pm

    Other than allowing for Rouge Cheddar to give us all a good laugh at ILMC expense, he does nothing than distract and throw around false and misleading claims. At least the liberal posters like Kentroyal and Chappy will at least engage you in a debate and try to prove their point. ILMC just does a swoop and poop and is out the door.

  27. Truesoldier on December 19th, 2011 8:23 pm

    Do you think they will have a synchronized mourning event?

  28. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 8:30 pm

    Taken per comment, NO, he adds nothing but insult to our intelligence. On the other hand, he does fuel some hilarious returns and variations on his name.

    I`m still trying to figure out just "which country" does he love ! Can`t be the U.S.A. !!

  29. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 8:33 pm

    Today on Rush, a licensed mortician with Korean Family mourning experience said he never sees this kind of wailing at their funerals. In fact, they are quite reserved and respectful, viewing it as an opportunity for movement into the next life. He suggested that these "wailers" were in fact Professional Mourners !

  30. backwoodsconsr on December 19th, 2011 8:38 pm

    Ouch!

  31. backwoodsconsr on December 19th, 2011 8:40 pm

    That should be good for a laugh. Those nincompoops can't even build a good synchronized transmission.

  32. SignPainterGuy on December 19th, 2011 9:37 pm

    Heard today that Kim Jung Un (oon) has ordered border guards to shoot-to-kill anyone trying to escape to China !

    Can you imagine such bad living conditions you`d actually consider life in China a step up worth dying for ?

  33. backwoodsconsr on December 19th, 2011 10:27 pm

    That's scary. Maybe that's the reason for all the sorrow. They're just letting the government believe they're crying for the officially approved reasons.

  34. Marshall_Will on December 19th, 2011 11:06 pm

    Truesoldier,

    Even at that, Rogue and others have pointed out that Kent and others simply take up "The Most Convenient Liberal Counterpoint" and I find that even more annoying.

    It's no better than a sandlot game where your opponent claims your homer was 'foul' because you had your head down running. Then w/ the amatuer hour critiques of Michelle or Doug's "choice of topics" etc?

    I'm so past wanting to even acknowledge anyone that isn't with the program it isn't funny. Let alone engage or 'debate' w/ them? We used to have some fun and spirited exchanges on the housing bubble blogs ( back on '05 when there were still kool-aid drinkers that doubted its presence but by 2007 w/ the Credit Crunch if full bloom, what was there to debate? ) How different is our current pol. situation?

  35. clu seatoe on December 20th, 2011 12:32 am

    Think outside your box.

    It could very well be that as independent, self-sufficient, Americans we have no concept of being told from infancy that all we have was given to us by a “supreme” leader; all we will ever be or the best we will ever be will come from this one individual. Now, all of a sudden, they wake up one day and he’s gone.

    They cannot conceive of the totally foreign concept to them of independence or independent thought and wouldn’t know what to do with it if they had it. What is seen here is the result, who’s going to tell me what to do, who’s going to tell me how to get my next meal or when to eat it, these are real problems when one cannot think for themselves.

    They can’t think for themselves because they’ve never been taught how to think for themselves because they’ve never had a choice set before them bigger than something like “I can get there going this way or I can get there going that way;” I can get outside through that door but I was told to go out this door. Like when Russian Communism fell apart the people didn’t know what to do with the freedom they thought they so badly wanted, or how capitalism even worked.

    Yes, its pathetic, but to them it may be real.

  36. SignPainterGuy on December 20th, 2011 1:05 am

    You are very, very close. Even though the people know that their leader was cruel to them, they also knew him to be their only source of everything. They followed him like a love-struck abused wife ! Few would leave even if they could !

    Now THAT is sad !

  37. patti on December 20th, 2011 1:30 am

    ilmc is rude, hateful and ignorant…violates the *terms of use* daily, often times, multiple violations in one comment.
    It's fun to kick the idiot around, but more annoying than entertaining.
    I thought I saw ilmc's last comment several times.:-)
    G.

  38. SignPainterGuy on December 20th, 2011 1:51 am

    "…last comment…..", Proof positive you just can`t never always sometimes tell about these things !
    Especially when you don`t swing the "ban-hammer" !

  39. clu seatoe on December 20th, 2011 3:22 am

    That IS sad.

    And it’s sad to think of the psychological damage brought on the North Korean people, especially the children, probably requiring many years of counseling, by what we would think to be liberation.

    I’m guessing the children would suffer from the anger, hatred, confusion, fear etc. of and for the liberators whoever they were, until the first generation born in freedom comes of age.

    It would be like watching their Father, protector, provider being killed right before their eyes. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t any of those things as long as they think he is, he is.

  40. SignPainterGuy on December 20th, 2011 3:59 am

    Apparently, by comparison, China is a bastion of openness and freedom of exchange of ideas and information AND quality manufacturing AND living conditions AND fooooood ! More ?

    Clu, I think you have the essence of it !

  41. Hyperfobea on December 20th, 2011 9:22 am

    Wow, perfect description of the average American voter. *Outside the box* … not quite, pal.
