YABUT WE NEED ELITISTS TO CONTROL THE ROBOTS, SOMEONE HAS TO DO THE DIRTY WORK.

There is a plank in the eye of the elitist. I know, I used to be one of them. Looking back on those days, I marvel at how certain I was about things I knew nothing about. I wince – I cringe – when I recall how dismissive I was of common people, the people you see at Wal-mart, say.

Like so many of the elitists I see today, I wore a sense of intellectual superiority to make up for a profound sense of loneliness, failure, insecurity and lack of life experience.

It’s okay. I got over it. I got over it by listening to the wisdom and the goodness and the strength of self-identified “common people,” and discovered that not oneof them did not have some uncommon trait or understanding. I realize now, as I did not then, that every single person I meet knows more about hundreds if not thousands of things than I do. So I changed. I became a Daywalker.

Now my mission is to go out and turn other elitist vampires and send them back toward the light.

Which brings us back to Scott Brown. He joked about his daughters being single. He joked about his truck. He said our money is better spent killing terrorists than defending them in court to cheers and thunderous applause and chants of U-S-A! U-S-A! … and this happened not in Texas but in Massachusetts!

He is in touch with the common sense certainty that we are at war and not with the Ivory towered position of the President who thinks that we are not.

And parenthetically, how it galls these elitist so-called progressives that these two people who they so despise are so sexy and attractive and confident and at home in their own skins, as I have come to be once I realized that there is nothing particularly special about me other than my membership in the most awesome extended family this species has produced. Just an American citizen.

YABUT USING ONES BRAIN IS EVIL DON'T YOU THINK? AND BESIDES, IT COULD MAKE YOUR HEAD HURT.

David Thomson:

Glenn Beck is another harsh reminder that our credentialed experts rarely are in the forefront of saving western Civilization. I am not even sure if he finished college.

Beck candidly admits that he is not a great historian or political philosopher. By all rights, his recent documentary should have been considered boring and repetitious. The typical American should already be well versed regarding the horrors of Communism. Sadly, this is not the case.

Beck thankfully is also continuing to educate Americans about the American Progressives of the early twentieth century. John Dewey, Richard Ely, Stuart Chase, and countless others caused enormous damage.

One cannot even begin to clearly comprehend the current Obama phenomenon unless they study that period of history.

How many people know, for instance, that John Dewey chose the term progressive to replace socialism? He realized that Americans had to be conned into embracing policies and ideas that they initially found repugnant.

Minda:

The monstrous evils of the twentieth century have shown us that the greediest money grubbers are gentle doves compared with money-hating wolves like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, who in less than three decades killed or maimed nearly a hundred million men, women, and children and brought untold suffering to a large portion of mankind. Eric Hoffer

tanstaafl:

In a single sentence this week, Glenn Beck noted that the current crowd in DC does not want to “power share” with the American people.

Striking in its simplicity and directness, this is absolutely correct.

Closely allied to totalitarianism, Beck has been elucidating the history of “progressivism” in the United States. Progressives co-opted and eventually trashed the term “liberalism”; their currently evolving deceptive self-description is “populism”.

That the Left postures as though it is on the side of social justice, but it is on the side of the greatest and most pernicious violators of social justice. And its hands are drenched in human blood in terms of the mass murdering ideologies and regimes it has supported and aided and abetted.

LOOK AT THE FACE OF OUR FEARFUL MASTER.

Too few people are aware of the staggering number of people who’ve been killed by governments.

Even fewer people are aware that the Soviet Union, one of the bloodiest-handed governments in all of history, grew as monstrous as it did because Washington fed it.

It should be a lesson to all of us that government is not an inherently benign force, Saint Paul’s notions notwithstanding.

We appear to have forgotten George Washington’s warning:

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

Mohandas K. Gandhi’s assessment is equally apt:

The State represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but, as the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from the violence to which it owes its very existence.

Supporters of Barack Hussein Obama’s soulless social-fascist regime might be advised to draw the moral.

HEY, I'LL SETTLE FOR A BIG MAC AND A CELL PHONE IF I CAN AVOID THAT UGLY THING CALLED WORK. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

You Can't Multiply Wealth by Dividing It

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."


-Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931

I TOO HAD A DREAM. OR MAYBE A NIGHTMARE?

A Dream Fulfilled?

When Obama gives the usual review of all the programs, stimulus efforts, and new entitlements he's overseeing, almost no one seems to conclude that he is simply detailing how he is going to redistribute nearly $2 trillion a year in annual borrowing.

When we cut through all the soaring Great Society rhetoric, we are left with a "Gorge the Beast" strategy in which money is borrowed and given to favored constituencies before being paid back by less popular groups through higher taxes.

Given the aggregate $7-10 trillion in additional debt envisioned over the next four years, Obama may well become the greatest redistributor in U.S. history, at last addressing his 2001 lamentation about the absence of meaningful "redistributive change" in America.

The only question at this point is whether Obama's gargantuan deficits are aimed primarily at lavishing constituencies with cash, or rather at making it necessary to raise taxes in a way that serves to reduce income inequality.

High Liberalism is now a psychological manifestation, by which the very rich, immune to both the realities of tough living and the hurt of high taxes, finds solace, self-worth, penance even, by sympathy for big government entitlement for the less fortunate whom they connive hourly to avoid.

Prep schools are jammed with the children of those who damn charter schools and vouchers; environmentalism’s most articulate advocates of small is better live in ways undreamed by the masses they wish to rein in.

Civilization’s Lies
by Victor Davis Hanson
Pajamas Media

One of the sad characteristics of contemporary Western society is the tendency to embrace noble lies. These are assertions and acts that don’t square with reality, with what we see and hear — and are voiced for apparently noble social purposes. Here are a few politically-incorrect examples.

1) Debt and Deficits. At our current rate we will very soon pile up between $18 and $20 trillion in accumulated national debt. We use the euphemism “stimulus,” talk of massive borrowing in terms of percentages of GDP, and casually pontificate about “inflating” our way out of the debt. The fact is that the borrowing is now so massive that there is no way to pay back what we owe without massive cutbacks in accustomed services, and a probable decline in the apparent standard of living. I say “apparent” since many of the essentials that we are accustomed to — everything from sophisticated psychiatric counseling for long-term inmates, frivolous law suits, duplicate and needless medical procedures, to government employee expense accounts, farm subsidies, or grants to the arts and media — are not that essential and will gradually begin to disappear. Raising taxes will be in the short-term offered as a solution, but it won’t for long increase net aggregate revenue since it will eventually discourage economic activity.

And we lack both the patience and guts to cut taxes, and then use the long-term larger revenue stream, coupled with massive spending cuts, to balance the budget. In short, we will invent euphemisms like “stimulus” and “furlough” as the money runs out, and Americans adjust to a lower standard of living. One can already drive in rural central California and see roads that are cracked and full of potholes, random dogs that are not licensed, and thousands of trailer-rentals on blocks and garages-turned-into-rentals, as the government has given up on its old regulation and let large swaths revert to the 1940s and 1950s. I fear that any sixth grader from my 1965 primary school down the road could have read far better than an average contemporary high school graduate of my local community.

This decline is not inevitable, given an expanding population, the prior investments of noble generations, continually evolving technology, and spreading globalization, but it is inevitable given the therapeutic culture, and present high-tax, high-spend, redistributive gospel of the present government. No one on either side of the political divide simply says the present borrowing is staggering, unsustainable, and must be paid back by real sacrifice. So we lie on, as if Greece should be our model.

2) Israel. We are inundated with constant talk of the “Middle East crisis” and “the need to restart the peace process.”

Why? Is there a new Goldstone report on Tibet? Are the American people sleepless over the divided city of Nicosia? The brutal Turkish occupation of Greek Cyprus? The rough Russian annexation of Ossetia? The callous treatment of Muslims by the Chinese?

Of course not. A noble lie is that there is a “Mideast crisis” at all. “Occupied land” is not unusual. Palestinians are no more refugees than Cypriots or Tibetans. The IDF is far more moral a military force than the Russian or Chinese or Turkish army.

The reality? Hating Israel as a unique aggressor is simply predicated on five unspoken truths: 1) rampant anti-Semitism (one can hate Jews by the loftier notion of being “anti-Zionist”; 2) fear of radical Islamic terrorists; there are apparently no radical Tibetans hijacking planes or blowing up Madrid train stations due to Spanish ties with communist China; 3) oil, oil, oil. The Cypriots cannot enlist the Greeks to withhold 500 billion barrels of oil in the Aegean from world markets. If such a fantasy were true, Nicosia would be on the front pages; 4) Israel is Western, like the U.S., and in a most un-Western neighborhood, so hating Israel is a mechanism of hating the U.S. on the cheap; 5) demography. If there were a billion-person Orthodox community energized by a half-billion Greek-speakers, we most certainly would wish to solve the “Cyprus crisis.”

The truth? Money, fear, and age-old hatreds all are masked by “principles” and “morality.”

3) Illegal immigration. Do the math on remittances — $50 billion a year sent back to Latin America; perhaps $20-25 billion sent from California alone, mostly from illegal aliens.

The following thought will get one censored as cruel and inhuman: millions of California residents, here illegally, without English or high-school diplomas, somehow manage to rely in part on state subsidies for food, housing, education, legal help, and transportation to free up cash in the billions to be sent southward to Mexico.

In addition, much higher per capita rates of illegality, from gang activity to DUI arrests, characterize far too many of the illegal alien community, requiring state investments that outweigh the often argued advantages of increased sales taxes, Social Security deductions supposedly not drawn upon, cheap wages for unskilled labor, etc.

In other words, to suggest that a very sophisticated society is spending billions to educate, incarcerate, and treat millions from the former Third World is forbidden. And the corollary is even more bizarre still: millions risk their lives to flock northward to the United States, even as the premise of multiculturalism in the schools, affirmative action in the workplace, and the chauvinism manifested in popular culture is somehow that an oppressive Eurocentric America “owes” penance. Historians two centuries hence will remark on the anomaly of the notion that millions of Mexican nationals both wish to emigrate to the United States, but simultaneously once here to voice grievances against the culture they so wish to join — sort of like the old demonstrations against Prop. 13 when protestors used to wave the flag of the country they did not wish to return to and trample the flag of the country they so eagerly wished to remain in. A modest proposal: to send money to Latin America, one here without legal documentation would either pay a 10% surcharge on the transaction or show proof of catastrophic healthcare insurance.

4) The image of the United States. Here we really enter into the world of the surreal. Privately the world’s poor connive to enter and stay in the U.S. Publicly as they do so, their leaders fault America to no end. The Middle East is especially culpable — as millions of residents use every angle imaginable to enter America, even as the popular culture of the Middle East is decidedly anti-American. What is the logic of such anti-Westernism? That one can enter Europe or America, enjoy its benefits, and then help turn it into the homeland — as if by doing so it would still be attractive to the immigrant in the first place? If Denmark is Islamicized, would Muslims flee to Copenhagen to escape the oppression and poverty of Egypt or Syria? I fear that the ideology of a Major Hasan or a Westernized Mutallab or an Alabaman such as Hammami is not that unusual. It was no accident that an Atta or KSM spent quite a lot of time in either America or Europe.

5) The Left. What is going on with the rise of a leftist aristocracy? Al Gore becomes a multimillionaire railing about reducing our lifestyle in accord with the pseudoscience of his climate-change gurus? John Edwards built a mansion to better voice his sermons on “two nations”? From his estates, John Kerry limoed and jetted in Kennedy-fashion to warn us about a cruel jobless vision of George Bush’s America?

A zillionaire Gates family, that has ensured there will be no federal inheritance taxes on their $50 billion, lectures on the benefits of higher inheritance taxes; a speculating Soros expounds on capitalism’s sins; a billionaire, tax-savvy Buffet laments the too-low federal income tax; a multimillionaire, low-ratings Katie Courac bristles at Palinism as her network lays off hoi polloi. And on and on.

Yet rarely is voiced the common denominator. High Liberalism is now a psychological manifestation, by which the very rich, immune to both the realities of tough living and the hurt of high taxes, finds solace, self-worth, penance even, by sympathy for big government entitlement for the less fortunate whom they connive hourly to avoid. Prep schools are jammed with the children of those who damn charter schools and vouchers; environmentalism’s most articulate advocates of small is better live in ways undreamed by the masses they wish to rein in. The greatest advocates of public expenditure, whether a Rangel, Geithner, or Daschle, are quite busy ensuring that they themselves will not have to pay for it all.

MAYBE CHEAP IS THE CORRECT WORD. OLD HUCKSTERS NEVER GET A REAL JOB. THEY JUST MOVE ON TO A NEW CROWD OF IMBECILES WHO WILL BUY THEIR SNAKE OIL. IT'S IN THEIR GENES.

Huck the Huckster is right about one thing, however, in that the Lord may be giving us a second chance to do better than we did before; that is, in electing a president. His outrageous comments on immigration alone -- regardless of whatever else he may do or say or however he may try to spin it -- should disqualify him from holding any public office.
Huck makes John McCain look like a nativist. He is despicable.

There is, though, one parallel between the plight of antebellum slaves and that of the invaders: Both situations were welcomed by people who wanted cheap labor. And, as far as Invasion USA goes, it's also welcomed by those who want cheap votes.

YES DOROTHY, MR. HUCKLEBERRY HAS A RECORD, JUST LIKE JOHN MCGOOFY. AND FOX NEWS WOULD CROWN ONE KING. IF IT WOULD STOP MITT ROMNEY.

Said Huckabee,

One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African Americans 150 years ago and beyond. We're still paying the price for the pathetic manner in which this country handled that . . . I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before.

This inane comment should outrage everyone -- save those who have invaded our country and flout our laws.

To equate overt and egregious discrimination against citizens with the insistence that aliens respect our laws and sovereignty is so preposterous that, quite frankly, mere words cannot sufficiently relate the disgust I feel. And I imagine that many black folks will be pleased as punch when they hear about Huckabee's drawing of this equivalence.

Then, "Huck the Huckster," as he should now be called, was speaking to the League of United Latin American Citizens. While again doing some hispandering he said, "Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority."

This drew laughter from the crowd, although the humor does seem to elude me.

Of course, it may actually be a good thing if he means Southern white guys exactly like him; in other words, pandering, pusillanimous, puerile demagogues who have no regard for their culture, language or for the sacrifices made by ancestors who helped forge this nation.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think embracing policy that will forever change the cultural ecosystem of the United States and transform her into a Third World nation should evoke tears, not laughter.

ABOUT ZEROES AND A ROAD TO NOWHERE.

Going Nowhere

Whence this alien inertia by which a man can get handcuffed at an American airport for not answering official questions about how much money he earns but the querying grotesque is not instantly smashed on the spot for his impertinence?

Michael Yon gets the treatment; a bureaucratic convulsion in the wake of Umar Farouk Abdulmullatab, a maniac who was obvious at a glance before he actually lit-up on an airplane.

To watch Janet Napolitano cooing her sick noises just makes my spine creep sideways.

I watch everything lately from under the snow that doesn't stop falling; peering through the grey at great distance, safe and warm but still deeply sick at heart over what's going away, in long strides.

I'm telling you: I'm not the only one. None of us will be able to live like this... the ways that these zeroes have in mind for us.

WHO GETS TO POKE THE RED HOT IRON ROD IN YOUR EYE, THAT IS THE QUESTION FOR TODAY CHILDREN.

And there's a lesson in this, one taught well by legendary economist Milton Friedman. Refuting the idea that big government is more virtuous than the "greedy" free market, he once asked why we would assume that political self-interest is somehow more noble than economic self-interest.

In reality, I find the discrimination of the market far more palatable than that of the government. Sure, it's not perfect; it will compensate a rap thug with a five-hundred-word vocabulary more handsomely than a person of substance. Nevertheless, I trust the judgments of the 300 million people who are a market -- rendered when making purchases and pronouncements -- more than the judgments of 535 ruling elites, imposed when making law.

Economically determined discrimination is less scary than politically determined discrimination.

Besides, at least the market doesn't slap us in the face with the pretense of charity, which is perhaps the scariest thing of all.

The Quayled Lady: Why You Should Forget Sarah Palin
By Selwyn Duke

Really, there's precious little fairness in the world. People tend to be slaves to emotion, and prejudices often reign supreme, even (in fact, especially) in those who rail against prejudice. This is why we'll see millions of Americans reflexively dismiss a politician simply because of the letter following his name.

It is why people will often oppose a position they would otherwise support simply because it's being advocated by someone they dislike. Ah, that troublesome human nature.

This brings us to Sarah Palin, the Wasilla woman often billed as the best hope of the GOP. She certainly isn't one of those plain vanilla characters who inspire blasé reactions, that's for sure. It's just so often the case that people either love her or hate her, believe she is the cat's meow or the pig with lipstick, a political sensation or a puerile simpleton. I'm in neither camp.

Scrape away the emotionalism, and one realizes that Palin isn't at either extreme. Underestimated by the left and overestimated by the right, the truth about her lies somewhere in between. Where, exactly?

That is secondary, because there is a more important point here relating to Palin's political future.

She doesn't have one.

I know this will raise the hackles of many, but you can forget Sarah Palin. I say this not because of her defects in ideology or lack of competency, but for a very simple reason: She has been Quayled.

This, of course, doesn't mean Palin possesses no secondary qualifications. Sure, she doesn't look like Janet Reno, she doesn't require a bigamous relationship with a teleprompter to string two sentences together, she is somewhat magnetic, and she is fairly sound ideologically.

But ask yourself this: Would she have been selected had her name been Scott Palin? Would she get the Elvis treatment?

Come on, now. Be honest. We all know the answer.

TRUTH CAN MAKE LIFE HARD FOR SOME AND THAT ISN'T FAIR.

Because the West has fallen victim to moral relativism, it no longer believes in transcendent Truth. Thus, stripped of the eternal yardstick that should govern art and curricula, we use emotion as the yardstick and try to provide what makes a given group "feel" good.

This is why we hear about how something isn't relevant to most because it's about an "upper-class white man" or was penned by "dead white males." It's why we try to give each group its particular flavor, such as feminism for girls and afro-centrism for blacks.

It's why we talk about the times and not Truth, saying that a work is no longer "contemporary." It's why education has degenerated to a point wherein all we can do is give everyone a lie that, supposedly, he can relate to.

But this tragically misses the point: Everyone needs the same thing, and that is Truth. Thus should our goal be to relate it -- and help everyone to relate to it.

After all, if morals are relative, how could it be wrong to not be contemporary or sensitive to feelings, or to be provincial?

More significantly, though, if we accept the relativistic lie that all is taste and we each have our own flavor, we'll never be able to relate to the same things or, tragically, to each other.

Thus does relativism yield division. If you want brotherhood, seek Truth.

If you want a friend, get a dog. (Says I.)

OUR NEW GOD LOVES WE THE LITTLE PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THE OLD GOD DID.

That is a perfect example of campaign rhetoric rather than incumbent policy description. He speaks to an audience of loyalists and tells them what they want to hear so that they will applaud and subsequently love him.

Okay, let me think. I could have everybody get health care coverage that's high quality, and it's free, which I'll bet is really popular. But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go through the pain of really working through this hard process in Congress, getting yelled at and called a socialist, because I just -- that's how I roll. I'm a glutton for punishment.

That's how he rolls. With a wave of his wizard's wand he could "get health care coverage" and "it's free..." Is that within the realm of possibility? TNSTAAFL pops into my head. There is NOTHING free. The "pain of working through this process in Congress..." is because we don't want what he is selling. More than two thirds of Americans say they don't want this plan. We don't believe his cost estimates. We understand that quality costs money and that healthcare is NOT an inalienable right.

My point is the easiest thing to do in politics is to point fingers, to figure out who to blame for something, or to make people afraid of things. That's the easiest way to get attention. That's what reporters will report on. You call somebody a name, you say, look what a terrible thing they've done and they're going to do more terrible things to you if you don't watch out. And you'll get a lot of press attention. And, in some cases, you can win elections, particularly when unemployment is 10 percent.

That is so disingenuous that I'm embarrassed for him. He apparently doesn't like having the finger of responsibility pointed at him. He simply forgets the previous eight years during which he and his cohorts blamed Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld for everything from the economy to low gas mileage to ring-around-the-collar. He doesn't want us to notice that he's run the national debt from 5.8 trillion dollars in 2007 to more than 12.4 trillion today. Nearly all of that jump came during his watch. He doesn't admit that he can't give a speech without blaming Bush.

Apparently you can win elections when unemployment is 10%, particularly if the electorate is repudiating your single year of misguided governmental policies.

Increasingly the voters of the nation, those who can still read and write and who have a reasonable understanding of a household budget, are not buying the demagoguery and are seeking a rational democratic form of government which is aware that government has limits in our Constitutional format. Awareness is coming too late to stop damage, but maybe it is not yet to late to save the republic.

SOME NEEDLES HAVE POINTED ENDS.

I speak of Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, and all the saps at the Huffington Post who by their own earnest idiocy, misled the public into skipping vaccinations. The potential result: measles outbreaks all over the globe - and ultimately, dead kids.

It's hard to make jokes about that, so I won't.

But I will make jokes about gasbags like Carrey and McCarthy, two cretins who can't be content simply making us sick to our stomachs with their work - they also gotta make our kids sick with ego-driven medical advice.

Now, I'm not a celebrity, but here's my medical advice for this sort of behavior: whenever a star offers an opinion on important health matters - citing flawed studies they know a nearly comatose Larry King won't bother checking - they should be given a vaccination of their own. It should be full of lead and shot straight up their ass.

And if you disagree with me, you're probably Arianna Huffington.

THE BRILLIANCE OF THE MAN. WHICH MAN?

The unabashed hypocrisy of Obama boggles the mind.

As Denny notes, he campaigned on a platform of meeting our challenges head-on, instead of passing the buck down to the next generation. ''

We remember his noble promises: Fiscal responsibility enforced by veto pen, rejection of earmarks, smart allocation of budget, rejection of lobbyists and special interests, etc. And he's redoubled his rhetoric lately. If you just listen to him, he's the most fiscally responsible president in history. But in deed, he's the polar opposite of his words. Even by the loose Washington standards of integrity, he's beyond the pale.

Obama reminds me of that loopy Iraqi information minister who swore the Americans had been repulsed when you could see American tanks in the background (www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com).

He can only get away with this because there's a substantial segment of the electorate that accepts what their leader says as the gospel truth, and never mind the ugly reality.

A ROSE LOSING IT'S BLOOM IS PREDICTABLE?

Instead, we’ve come full circle from the idealistic-sounding, centrist candidate Obama, to the Carter-McGovern President Obama, back to the wannabe Clinton triangulator.

The only constant — no real identity, no firm belief, no core convictions from which to make the argument that his left-wing vision is good for the country. You see, Mr. Obama never had to: left-wing dogma was always a state religion in the circles Obama thrived, and once Obama the nightingale started in his song, few of the hypnotized worried about the inane message that followed.

Being president is all so, so unfair!

AN ECONOMIC ENGINE FUELED BY POISIN CANNOT PULL THE LOAD.

As a result of all this tax-talking frenzy, business owners have no idea what their new aggregate tax obligations will be or when they will kick in.

They can only sense that the Obama administration wants to go after successful entrepreneurs to fund more federal entitlement for others — as if the 5 percent of Americans who fork over 55 percent of the aggregate income tax revenue don't pay enough already.

If President Obama really wants to foster job growth, he needs to get specific. Stop the borrowing and instead tell the business community exactly what income, payroll and surcharge taxes he proposes, when they will begin — and how much he appreciates those who will pay them.

When it comes to creating a psychological climate to encourage employers to start hiring again, a little certainty and a little praise are lot better than uncertainty and talk of taxing even more those who now already pay the most.

HORRORS UNCOUNTED AND EVEN INVISIBLE.

Can any name another president whose appointments have engendered less interest on the part of the press, or when their words, beliefs, actions, even crimes have been inadvertently exposed, has there ever been less press interest or outrage?

What will future historians write of a president who counted as his mentors and profound influences prominent communists, domestic terrorists, racist, anti-American ministers, tax criminals, Mao worshipers, advocates of sex between adults and children–of the same sex–and who overwhelmingly appointed advisors and bureaucrats, not only possessing no qualifications for their posts, but who had no experience whatsoever in the private sector they were trying to seize and control?

What will they write of a president who could not recognize a terrorist, even when that terrorist came within milliseconds of murdering hundreds of Americans on American soil?

What will they write of a president so undisciplined, so unmoored from reality that he demanded that armed, unlawful enemy combatants in time of war be given civilian trials while simultaneously poisoning the jury pool and virtually ensuring that they be freed by proclaiming that they’d be found guilty and executed, and that regardless of the outcome of the trial, they’d never be freed?

Might some future historian be tempted to suggest that this wasn’t mere neophyte stupidity, but a sly attempt to win freedom for a fellow traveler?

NO VERDICT YET, MR. HANSON, WHY NOT, THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR?

While Obama, the quick study, understood the role of deception, triangulation, and fudging in free-for-all politics, it was nevertheless difficult for him for long to disguise forty years of inculcation. So like a leaky faucet, the drops of an entrenched and rather scary philosophy now and then splashed upon us — Van Jones, Ron Bloom, and Anita Dunn echoed a prevailing ideological landscape.

Then there was the presidential insistence that police stereotype and act stupidly. We heard non-stop the old-time gospel that the better off must pay their fair share and spread their ill-gotten wealth, if they are to be deemed patriotic. As in the 1960s, America should apologize, given that it was as culpable as Europe or Islam for current global tensions. And so on.

3) The hypocrisy of left-wing redistribution politics and the enjoyment of the high-life, brought about by the fruits of capitalism, is a heavy anchor for Obama.

Tim Geithner does not like to pay high taxes. Nancy Pelosi does like nice jets. Barack Obama likes junkets. So does Harry Reid. Charles Rangel likes hiding income on resort property. John “two nations” Edwards likes “John’s Room” in his mansion, and Green Al Gore enjoys his most ungreen estate.

In other words, “progressivism” is easily identified as cynicism, as a condescending plaything of the well-off, who are exempt, either by government largess or private capital, from the very strictures they would impose on less knowledgeable others.

WHO BE THE JUDAS GOAT IN 2012? MCGOOFY 1, MCCAIN AGAIN, MCGOOFY 2, HUCKLEBERRY OR PERHAPS FRED THOMPSON'S WIFE JERI? FRED WILL BE TOO TIRED NO DOUBT.

The Republican Congress by 2006 was mired in corruption. After eight years of Republican rule, conservatives of the base had tired of 50/50 deal making that had resulted in more big government and big deficits.

John McCain almost seemed more interested in losing majestically to our first serious African-American presidential candidate than conducting a hardball successful campaign. He too had alienated his base in the past, and many never forgot it, as their lackluster emotional and financial support attested.

Barack Obama, in contrast, offered to many an irresistible win/win proposition: centrist, bipartisan governance, and absolution for past sins through the election of a president of color. That Obama was young and patterned himself after JFK in his eloquence and pizzazz made a nice antithesis to George Bush’s tongue-tied speeches. And that the world promised that they would like us again only made it all the sweeter for the gullible.

Chapter Three – The Ascension

So Obama came in, quickly shed his thin centrist exoskeleton, and started in on the long promised bigger government agenda. In short order, we saw the absorption of some of the private sector, attempts at statist health care, and appointments that reflected an equality-of-result philosophy, mandated and enforced by a guardian class of Ivy-League technocrats, immune to the protocols they enforced on ignorant others, although, unlike Plato’s overseers, subject to no harsh regimen.

Abroad, at last we would fulfill the old pledge of the United Nations, follow global consent, back out of worthless old alliances, reach out to misunderstood nationalists, admit prior guilt, appreciate the role of race, class, and gender oppression in world affairs, scoff at artificial Manichean divides and inherit a multilateral world in which an unexceptional United States became simply one among many, unqualified to judge others, unable to enforce artificially constructed rules of international behavior.

Obama was the ultimate homeopathic — cure the patient by giving more of what caused the symptoms in the first place.

If for a half-century an encroaching government, ever more regulations, politicized education, therapeutic stifling of free expression, higher and higher taxes, and expanding entitlements had threatened to make America less competitive, less free, and less prosperous than it could be, Obama in reaction would apply more of the same to cure the patient. Bush’s deficits? Expand them fourfold? Unfunded Prescription Drug — try Unfunded State Health Care. Fifty-percent of income given over to local, state, and federal taxes? — raise them far higher.

DUMP MCGOOFY.

Senator McCain is squaring off against former U.S. Representative JD Hayworth.

No conservative worth his salt is unaware of the notorious “independence” of John McCain, Arizona’s senior senator.

Having long ago wiggled from his conservative cocoon, the senator prides himself on his eclectic policy choices. He is gainst government-run health care but for cap and trade (and then against it as the 2008 election progressed).

He’s a true blue warrior in the war on terror but squishy in the war to secure the nation’s southern border.

Swapping the flinty and unpredictable John McCain for Hayworth is a nice bargain from a conservative’s viewpoint.

Hayworth will be no less opposed to government-run health care, but he’ll also stand clearly against the economy-killing cap and trade scam.

The former Phoenix talk show host will be a reliable vote in the war on terror, but he won’t fall in with Washington’s Republican and Democratic establishments on amnesty for illegals.

WEAK KNEED, GUILTY, SLACK JAWED, NOT.

Mr Edley lamented the failure of the White House to force Congress into line, as President Lyndon Johnson would have done. “You have to be his inner LBJ, the leader who twists arms past their breaking point and is prepared to make some enemies in order to make some progress,” he said.

The professor fears that Mr Obama’s best chance to deliver the change he promised may have been wasted.

The White House was overly dependent on the President’s personality as an instrument of persuasion, “and if your only advocacy tool is charm you should expect some pretty strong headwinds”, Professor Edley said.

The Administration’s biggest mistake, he said, has been to pander to Congressional vanities by leaving the two chambers to argue about their own versions of healthcare reform with little concrete guidance from the White House.


“As a result the Administration has accomplished less than it might have and is perceived on the Hill as much weaker than it might have been,” he concluded.

Crocker urged the party to "present candidates who will be attractive" to the people who, like those in the Tea Party movement, "are really dissatisfied with our political conduct over the past several years."

Bopp withdrew his proposal and supported the alternative, contending it will be more effective because party leaders will have to consider a broader range of issues than just those cited in his resolution.

His proposal would have barred financial help for GOP candidates who disagreed with three or more of 10 policy positions, including support for "market-based" health care reform and climate change policies, and opposition to gun control, government abortion funding and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

There appeared to be some disagreement over the practical effect of Crocker's resolution. Bopp said it requires party leaders to compare GOP candidate positions to the party platform.

But Bob Tiernan, the GOP state chairman in Oregon, insisted it is not binding.

"There's nothing mandatory in it," Tiernan said.

YABUT ALITO DIDN'T GO TO HARVARD LIKE THE MAGIC MULATTO.

This time, Justice Alito shook his head as if to rebut the president’s characterization of the Citizens United decision, and seemed to mouth the words “not true.” Indeed, Mr. Obama’s description of the holding of the case was imprecise. He said the court had “reversed a century of law.”

The law that Congress enacted in the populist days of the early 20th century prohibited direct corporate contributions to political campaigns. That law was not at issue in the Citizens United case, and is still on the books.

OR MAYBE YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT EXPLANATION.

PaulM:

The President has been self-centered from the beginning. His profound bows to foreign dignitaries, particularly the Saudi Leaders, are most disturbing. The President thinks he is being conciliatory. They say to themselves, “We can handle this guy.”

His speeches,using the teleprompter, show his eyes moving from left to right; from one teleprompter screen to the other, with an occasional pause in between. There is no communication with his audience; he isn’t talking to them. He’s talking to the outside world only the outside world isn’t paying any attention other than to conclude: “same old, same old.”

The use of teleprompters to speak to a class of 6th graders (perhaps 30-35 in number) illustrates the above point.

If one wished to speak effectively to 30 or 35 children, he’d walk among them and speak to them one on one. Not so the President. But, you see, he wasn’t talking to them. They were just “props”.

SPENDING WHAT HE HASEN'T IS LIKE TAKING HALF OF WHAT YOU HAD. DOWNWARD SPIRAL WORKS WELL HERE. KIND OF LIKE REDISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH, AS PROMISED.

geoffgo:

WRT the takeover by the Left, concessions simply won’t suffice. Unconditional surrender is the only sustainable outcome worth persuing. Sounds like the problem with Islam, no?

Concessions to steal less of your money, this time? But with the ever present caveat that they’ll continue to try at every future opportunity and connive to use any means necessary, and we’re paying them to do it? And, it’s legal?

The list of sins against US is seemingly endless and growing, and many here including our host are terrific at identifying, clarifying and synthesizing them. Welcome to the “service economy.”

Maybe we ought to be spending more time defining the terms of unconditional surrender, should we ever have the chance to impose them; since absent the abolishment of the Left, we’re doomed to run out of money.

Hard not to see imposition challenges all round, when city, state, county and federal gov’t employment equals the private sector, as it does today.

I would advise against our making outlandish claims that we can turn the US economy around soon, or even save it. The Left needs to own the devastation. However and on the way, the Left can say those 20 million unemployed (growing to 25%+) will get work in gov’t. Freedom-loving conservatives can’t use such promises of new jobs to answer. Nor can we promise as much. We must in fact be the “party of no,” willing to live with the screams that we’re dispassionate, jackbooted hatchetmen. Inhumane-R-US.

Marketing the new national survival program will be difficult; especially when unemployment subsidies end for most, as they must. It’s not like we’ve got 20 millions new jobs available.

Are basic principles like individual freedom important, when survival is at stake? Today it appears not so much.

Late in “Atlas Shrugged” John Galt is begged by the government to step in and save the economy. He asks if he would have absolute authority to do it and the government assures him he will. He says Start by firing all the government employees. They say Well, we can’t do that. So here we are.

For too long we have been brainwashed into thinking that an Ivy League education is a sign of a superior mind and competence.

In fact Ivy Leaguers now live in the most absurd world of deception. They are indeed the epitome of arrogance and vacuity.

Obama is not an intelligent and learned man; every time he opens his mouth it shows. There is no evidence of learning in history, culture, language or philosophy; instead there is a surfeit of mindless political propogandizing.

He has not had an original thought in his life because he never was required to do anything but play a part that was written for him by the amazingly ill educated American Left.

This came accross to me strongly in his recent speech in Ohio where he used the word “fight” some 20 times.

He does not appear to understand that what the people want is for him to effectively craft policies and programs that will improve our condition, leveraging his huge majority.

We do not need, nor do we want someone to valiantly sally forth to slay an army of straw men.

He doesn’t know what to do and doesn’t know how to do it. He also does not appear to be able to listen as Summers, Romer and others do understand the folly of his economic policies but apparently go unheeded.

And on the “Fat Cat Bankers;” who owns the banks? We do, with 63-77% owned by pension funds, endowments, charitable trusts, mutual funds, and the balances of 32-37% by private investors. THEY is US that Mr. Zero is yapping about.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING JACK? WE CAN

Jack Marcotte:

The question arises why did the above vdh outlined facts happen?

Why are current “weak” Americans and political hacks so willing to accept and use the Utopian words that have historically been used for subversion and enslavement.

Words in brown shirts and lock step with loss of personal freedoms and the value of individual ownership of personal property.

The pitting of the haves against the have nots. The indoctrination of belief that something can be obtained for nothing. That others have obtained theirs by “stealing” from yours.

Calling themselves Progressive thinkers. Class war fare, not a real American thought in their brains. Where have they come from these idiots, the BHO’s who call themselves Americans. Piss ants all running around like ants grabbing at straws to defend the indefensible.

In recent historical times within memory the Utopian language used by revolutionary Marxists/Socialists to implement “enlightened” murderous governments have ended in abject poverty and failure with millions of people killed, no winners–all losers, and those alive remorse and wounded for the remainder of their lives.

Waiting, hoping to be revived. Sniffing the air for just traces of freedom, needing it like oxygen. If generational not even the memory of freedom’s taste to allow them to start over. Just dead husks of humanity.

Could it be that humans have a genetic need to be free, independent, self reliant, creative and above all able to maintain ownership of their possessions and created “wealth”.

Our founding fathers were smart men. It appears much smarter than the AA, PC Ivy league lightweights now pretenders to govern all Americans on a “we know better basis” regardless of what “you Americans” think–”we are of the world”.

This arrogance coming out of indoctrination without integrity, honor, or of self knowledge of human needs. No knowledge or understanding of history. Not even history within recent memory.

America’s founders had a gut level knowledge that freedom and private property is an extension of themselves, representing a culture, America, that is a culture of mind and matter. For previous generations America was A defining of those individual Americans and their families.

The real America provided A proof of their survival and value, no matter where they came from, and the ability to move their gene pool into the future—against the accepted adversity of life they readied themselves to deal with any adversity in freedom and a knowing of what needed to be done or at least try.

Win, lose or draw. there is nothing worse for humans than the loss of individual freedoms that sucks their strengths–physical and mental. Loss of freedom creates weakness and goes along with the Utopian communist or socialist cult like indoctrinations. An ant in an ant hill is what is needed for the BHO’s not Americans.

What would the efficiency and evolution of nature given mankind to survive. Those without “it” would have died out. It would not have been survive as a victim! We do not have long ears nor eyes at the side of our heads. Nor do we run at 50+ mph. And surely not a helpless human being with the outstretched hand. We have relative short arms, but strong. The eyes face forward with a need for awareness but not pure flight and avoidance.

In nature’s omniscient intelligence it is likely we need just the opposite of Socialism or Communism. It is not so surprising then that what we think we all need in our Utopian dreams will in the end destroy us?

Who will tell the current crop of Ivy League idiots, who are hot house AA, PC BHO’s and Political Hacks to get lost.

Americans must have the freedom to put themselves back to work. Not wait around for the idiot BHO’s to think beyond their means.

Now more than ever is a time for Americans to be counted on. Not triangulated and manipulated.

YEP HE'S ONE ALL RIGHT.

The Narcissist–whether in Hollywood or Washington–does not want people to realize that they are madly in love with themselves and that the advancement of their own personal agenda–i.e. self-glorication and apotheosis–is not only their Number One priority, but pretty much their only one, as their publicised words and actions advertised as selflessly altruistic are at the service of that priority.

A similar desire to deflect attention away from the truth by inverting it (180 degrees, mind you) was behind Bill Clinton’s assertion during the ‘92 campaign that never really thought about running for president until he saw the mess that Reagan-Bush 41 made of the country.

Nonsense. He was obsessed with becoming president ever since he shook JFK’s hand as a teenager.

A Narcissist is a Narcissist is a Narcissist. Clinton and Obama are of a feather.

“You see, Mr. Obama never had to (make a conviction that left-wing dogma was good for the country): left-wing dogma was always a state religion in the circles Obama thrived, and once Obama the nightingale started in his song, few of the hypnotized worried about inane message that followed.”

And such shallow absorption of an ideology as opportune to belong to a group is unmoored and will be set adrift–and allowed to sink– if a bigger boat with a bigger group (i.e. Conservative America) passes by with a lowered gangplank.

Like Clinton–and especially (and perhaps only) in a swelling sea of economic recovery–Obama would gladly take off the sailor’s cap of Gilligan and put on the braided one of Mr. Howell and push away the dinghy made of coconuts and carrying the other castaways away with his toe while boarding.

That’s not a prediction, but I think it’s a good bet.

And I really hope I’m wrong, because adopting those kind of theatrics –with an assumptive recovering economy as the backdrop–are his best (however remote at this juncture) chance at winning the coveted second term.

MR. THOMPSON, TAKE YOUR MESSAGE TO BILL O'REILLY AND JOHN MCGOOFY.

David Thomson:

“…as he had been convinced by his success in the Ivy League”

This is not entirely accurate. It should be rephrased to read:

…as he had been convinced by his unearned success in the Ivy LeagueBarack Obama is obviously an affirmative action recipient. He is poorly read and intellectually shallow.

The Ivy League schools dropped their soft-science academic standards over thirty-five years ago. Both racial minorities and majority white students take inflated grades for granted. '

These universities are often nothing less than scam operations. Deceit and fraud are the norm. Professors openly admit to being pressured into giving their students unearned grades. In other words, it might be argued that these universities could be indicted on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges.

Am I exaggerating? Well, think about it. How many employers have been conned into believing that these Ivy League graduates actually earned their credentials? How many voters last year were convinced that Obama had attained a good education?

Posted by Cart Williams at 10:36 AM |

WHO 'GONNA RIGHT THIS SHIP OF STATE, JOHN MCGOOFY?

But now as his polls dip, we hear instead gripes over tactics, not the essence of the problem — the absence of an identity confidently and honestly expressed. So we get nonsense:

“He’s too detached and cool: we need a fighting Bob Lafollette!” “He outsourced his agenda to the polarizing, corrupt and inept Reid/Pelosi wing.” “He surrounded himself with one too many shady Chicago polls.” “He took on too much all at once.” “Who thought up the idea that health care and cap and trade ranked above the recession in the public mind?”

Duh?

What’s next? We can predict it in our sleep. He will continue the “let me be perfectly clear,” “fat-cat banker” talk to his base, do his selected-audience hope and change rants while trying to do a move-to-the-center light. Oh yes, a commission to balance the budget — sorta. Tough talk abroad — kinda. Health care reform we can all agree on — maybe.

In the past, every time Obama has been in a jam, two things followed. He first throws under the bus perceived liabilities (yesterday’s Rev. Wright and grandmother will be this year’s Rahm Emanuel, Timothy Geithner and Janet Napolitano).

Second, he adopts the no more red state/blue state, “bipartisan,” “there is only one America” rhetoric. Yes, soon we will indeed hear abroad of American exceptionalism, and a thing called “the war on terror,” and, at home, deficits that must be paid back and “working across the aisle.”

I doubt we get genuine effort at balancing the budget, keeping businesses competitive, cutting waste, restoring American alliances, securing borders, centrist appointments, real bipartisanship, or a simplified tax system.

Instead, we’ve come full circle from the idealistic-sounding, centrist candidate Obama, to the Carter-McGovern President Obama, back to the wannabe Clinton triangulator. The only constant — no real identity, no firm belief, no core convictions from which to make the argument that his left-wing vision is good for the country. You see, Mr. Obama never had to: left-wing dogma was always a state religion in the circles Obama thrived, and once Obama the nightingale started in his song, few of the hypnotized worried about inane message that followed.

Being president is all so, so unfair!

MARXIST MULATTO SAYS ONWARD AND UPWARD.

Washington graybeards and pundits have been insisting that Obama needs to "start over," "reboot" and "tack to the middle" after Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts. But Obama's response last night was to recommit himself to the agenda that has gotten him in so much trouble.

In fairness, the president took a French-bath of Clintonism before he took to his beloved TelePrompTer. He doused himself with the scent of the deficit-fighter and trade-promoter. He unveiled a slew of small, easy, applause-gathering proposals and populist appeals that he knows will go nowhere.

He also indulged in a lot of feel-your-pain pathos, trying to connect with the real Americans suffering from the recession and the misdeeds of a "Washington" that Obama seems to think is run by someone other than him.

But the eau-de-Clinton couldn't mask the stench -- and Obama, in his supreme arrogance, didn't really seem to care.

There was no "pivot to the center," no serious accounting for the Massachusetts miracle or his misfortunes. Instead, there was an innumerate, inaccurate and distinctly unpresidential whine -- blaming George W. Bush for nearly all of his problems (leaving out, among other things, that the Democrats have been controlling Congress and crafting budgets since 2006).

The White House insists that the new wave of populism created by Democratic governance is, in fact, the same populist wave that carried Obama to victory in 2008. In other words, Obama was elected president by the backlash against his own presidency.

This novel theory allows Obama to stick to his view that there's nothing wrong with his health-care plan, and anyone who feels differently hasn't heard or understood the president's explanations.

So, he not only implored Democrats not to "run for the hills" on the health-reform bill, but insisted that as "temperatures cool," hot-tempered opponents will, of course, realize they were wrong about the bill.

Obama began his presidency insisting that government is the answer to our problems. A year later, he still believes that the era of big government is upon us.

We are in a classic “W” depression. The market is grinding along now thru inertia and some profit taking. Talking about changing the Banking rules is making people nervous.

Wait until the 5 year arms start hitting. Changing the banking laws won’t matter.

Some will find or create new loopholes allowing them to continue as they have. Others won’t. So the players are working to see that they adapt. It’s either that or die.

YOU CAN IGNORE IT UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER AND THERE WILL STILL BE ONLY ONE EXPLANTION. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS A DEDICATED MARXIST MUSLIM, A MULATTO BY BIRTH, AND A SELF-APPOINTED MAGIC MESSIAH. BEFORE YOU CAN DEAL WITH HIM YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS NOT A GENIUS TRYING TO LEAD AMERICA TO A BETTER PLACE AS BILL O'REILLY AND JOHN MCCAIN WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. HE IS A MARXIST ON A MISSION TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE DURING HIS TIME IN THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT. MARXISTS DON'T CHANGE COURSE BECAUSE OF POLITICAL PRESSURE. THEY GUN DOWN THE OPPOSING FORCES OR RUN OVER THEM WITH TANKS. FOX NEWS NOW LEADS THE CHARGE OF APOLOGISTS FOR THIS POWER MAD IMBECILE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A DEGREE FROM HARVARD. HOW ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL, DOES HE HAVE A DIPLOMA? WHEN DID O'REILLY SEE THE "ONE'S" IQ TEST SCORE? MAYBE HE'S A ONE SKILL IDIOT SAVANT, WITH ONLY AN ABILITY TO SHIFT HIS EYES RAPIDLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE READING FROM A TELEPROMPTER WHILE UNDERSTANDING NOTHING.

I still can’t get over the fact that some serious pundits state up front how intelligent/bright Obama is supposed to be while he continually shoots himself in the foot!

He can’t even read the “writing on the wall”, ditto Pelosi & Reid! The absent-minded Professor that walks out the front door without his pants on has no business in the oval office, we’ve already had a Democrat with those credentials…

Rep.Berry is just confirming the sneaking suspicion we all already had. Obama has an immense ego-he actually accepted a Nobel Peace Prize that he had done literally nothing to deserve.

He smugly thought he could swoop in and save the world in Copenhagen and failed on a massive scale-China and India today said they will not sign ANY accord or agreement whatosever that comes from the Copenhagen debacle-this is the final nail in the AGW coffin-all the blame lies with Obama for his speech where he went of script and preached to China.

Two gubernatorial races lay in ashes at his feet.

A special election in the bluest of blue states crashed and burned when he came to town to campaign for the democrat.

The supreme court reversed two rulings that struck right at the heart of his rhetoric,and he has the audacity to think he can simply write legislation to overturn their ruling.Simply laughable.

Expect the rats to jump from the sinking ship of Obama and the progressives by the dozens.

His own confidence in himself is not felt by those he expects to follow his"leadership". This is a one term president and if he continues on in his same vein of ignoring his electorate and congress-he may be one of the few who also carry the mantra of "impeached president" as well.

OLD AMERICA'S TRUTH TELLER HARD AT WORK THESE DAYS.

And, yes, Barack, the reason that you are experiencing an historic crash in the polls and your coattails are radioactive, is, as you said, because you did not speak often enough to the American people — not enough interviews, cover stories, photo-ops, presidential addresses, staged press conferences, and perpetual campaign teleprompted stump speeches.

This sort of unreality will ensure that the Obama flame continues to engulf the congress of liberal moths that swarm to it.

Did Obama really think the laws of physics did not apply to him — that one can in a year and a half run up over $3 trillion without consequences or nominate a nut like Van Jones or bow to a Saudi royal or denigrate the police or serially break his promises or attempt to socialize medicine or claim that employment comes as manna from heaven once a rhetorician calls for so many billions to be borrowed for so many millions of jobs?

Fodder for Conspiracists

The left cannot face the truth that this is for a generation or so longer a center-right country that in defiance is rejecting the statism of Obama — and therefore it will construct a ludicrous hypothesis that Obama’s failure is predicated on his being too centrist. That way, they can disguise their own desire to distance themselves from an unpopular and, for now, losing cause by some sort of adherence to a higher principle.

Obama, again for now, will blame congressional candidates, subordinates, the media (yes, imagine that), all for matters of poor tactics and communication that prevented us dunces from appreciating the Obama godhead.

In truth, he must be some sort of Manchurian candidate working under deep cover for the Republican Party, since his first year has translated into tens of millions of dollars in free conservative advertising, proselytizing, and public relations.

JOHN MCGOOFY IS ALREADY BARING HIS FANGS.

Peggy Noonan

For Mr. Brown now, everything depends on execution. He made the Olympics. Now he has to do the swan dive, with a billion people watching. And then he has to do it again.

He needs to serve the country the way he campaigned for votes—earnest, open, not beholden to interest or party.

And he needs to avoid the Descent of the Congressional Vampires, who'll attempt to claim his victory as their own and suck from his neck until he's a pale and lifeless husk.

Not to understate. But they'll want him fund-raising and speaking all over the country, not knowing or perhaps caring that the best work he can do for his party is succeeding in the eyes of his constituents, who couldn't care less about the fortunes of the GOP.

He needs to avoid the vampires in the nicest possible way. Maybe he should carry a little cross deep inside his breast pocket so they retreat without knowing why: "I tried to get him to Boca for the donor retreat but some invisible force stopped me! I ran backwards and slipped on the shiny marble floor! Mah hip is out! "

TOO MUCH GIDDINESS CAN LEAD TO HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. TAKE A DEEP BREATH, HOLD IT AND DON'T MOVE FOR AWHILE. HE MIGHT BE CHANNELING TEDDY KENNEDY FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

A centerpiece of Mr. Brown's campaign was opposition to the president's health-care plan, but he stressed that he opposes high spending wherever it comes from. "I've criticized President Bush for his failure to use his veto pen. There's plenty of blame to go around.

The question is how solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great? Free markets, free enterprise, manufacturing, job creation. That's how we're gonna do it, not by enlarging government."

The next morning he took the 7 a.m. shuttle from Boston to Washington for his first trip to the Capitol. On the plane, after they took off, the pilot came on and said, "Senator Brown is on board, on his way to Washington." The plane erupted in applause.

A HELL OF A CHOICE MY FRIENDS. BRING BACK JOHN MCGOOFY MCCAIN SAYS PEGGY NOONAN.

Speaking broadly: In the 2006 and 2008 elections, and at some point during the past decade, the ancestral war between Democrats and the Republicans began to take on a new look.

If you were a normal human sitting at home having a beer and watching national politics peripherally, as normal people do until they focus on an election, chances are pretty good you came to see the two major parties not as the Dems versus the Reps, or the blue versus the bed, but as the Nuts versus the Creeps.

The Nuts were for high spending and taxing and the expansion of government no matter what. The Creeps were hypocrites who talked one thing and did another, who went along on the spending spree while lecturing on fiscal solvency.

In 2008, the voters went for Mr. Obama thinking he was not a Nut but a cool and sober moderate of the center-left sort. In 2009 and 2010, they looked at his general governing attitudes as reflected in his preoccupations—health care, cap and trade—and their hidden, potential and obvious costs, and thought, "Uh-oh, he's a Nut!"

Which meant they were left with the Creeps.

But the Republican candidates in Virginia and New Jersey, and now Scott Brown in Massachusetts, did something amazing. They played the part of the Creep very badly! They put themselves forward as serious about spending, as independent, not narrowly partisan.

Mr. Brown rarely mentioned he was a Republican, and didn't even mention the party in his victory speech. Importantly, their concerns were on the same page as the voters'.

They focused on the relationship between spending and taxing, worried about debt and deficits, were moderate in their approach to social issues. They didn't have wedge issues, they had issues.

The contest between the Nuts and the Creeps may be ending.

The Nuts just got handed three big losses, and will have to have a meeting in Washington to discuss whether they've gotten too nutty.

But the Creeps have kind of had their meetings—in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. And what seems to be emerging from that is a new and nonsnarling Republicanism. (As represented by John McGoofy McCain?)

It may be true—and they will demonstrate in time if it is true—that they have learned from past defeats, absorbed the lessons, reconsidered the meaning of politics.

SUPPORT JOHN MCGOOFY MCCAIN IN 2012. HE HEARD YOU FOLKS AND HE'LL FIX THE PROBLEM. AND YES DOROTHY, PIGS CAN REALLY FLY.

But if McDonnell, Christie and Brown could roll up large enough shares of the white vote to win in three major states McCain lost, why did McCain lose all three?

Answer: In 2008, the working and middle class had had a bellyful of the Bush-McCain Republicans. They were seen as pro-amnesty for illegal aliens and pro-NAFTA, when U.S. workers had watched 5 million manufacturing jobs disappear in a decade – and reappear in China.

They were willing to give Obama a chance because Obama had persuaded them by November he was not just another big-spending utopian liberal.

So what have Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi been doing for a year? Crafting a federal takeover of health care with a vast plan that provides coverage for the uninsured – most of whom are minorities – while sticking it to Medicare recipients, 80 percent to 90 percent of whom are white.

Immigrants are 21 percent of the uninsured, but only 7 percent of the population. This means white folks on Medicare or headed there will see benefits curtailed, while new arrivals from the Third World, whence almost all immigrants come, get taxpayer-subsidized health insurance.

Any wonder why all those tea-party and town-hall protests seem to be made up of angry white folks?

What the McDonnell, Christie and Brown victories teach is that the GOP should stop listening to the Wall Street Journal and start listening to these forgotten Americans.

An end to affirmative action and ethnic preferences, an end to bailouts of Wall Street bankers, a moratorium on immigration until unemployment falls to 6 percent, an industrial policy that creates jobs here and stops shipping them to China appear a winning hand in 2012.

WHEN WILL THE MESSIAH'S ARMY HIT THE STREETS?

Only a minority of Americans now believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. Nor can he any longer take refuge in the rejoinder that "we inherited a terrible situation." Or blame it on fat-cat bankers and insurance companies.

Blaming others, including Bush, for the country's predicament is less and less persuasive.

"At some point you own your presidency," wrote Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal. "At some point the American people tell you it's yours."

HE SHOULD JOIN UP WITH JOHN MCGOOFY MCCAIN. THEY COULD GO ON TOUR WITH THEIR CLOWN ACTS.

He appeared on five Sunday talk shows on the same morning, followed the next day by David Letterman, the first-ever presidential appearance on a nighttime comedy show. In another week, he squeezed in addresses to the U.S. Climate Change Summit, the U.N. General Assembly, the U.N. Security Council, and a variety of press conferences.

His promiscuity on TV has made him seem as if he is still a candidate instead of president and commander in chief. He—and his advisers—have failed to appreciate that national TV speeches are best reserved for those moments when the country faces a major crisis or a war. Now he faces the iron law of diminishing novelty.

Despite this apparent accessibility, Obama's reliance on a teleprompter for flawless delivery made for boring and unemotional TV, compounding his cerebral and unemotional style.

He has seemed not close but distant, not engaged but detached. Is it any wonder that the mystique of his presidency has eroded so that fewer people have listened to each successive foray?

The columnist Richard Cohen wryly observed that he won the Pulitzer Prize for being the only syndicated columnist who did not have an exclusive interview with the president.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT AT MASS?

Illegal Immigration and California

There are dozens of recent exposés on the California mess. The “I accuse” themes—all quite accurate—are well known.

(a) The state propositions have hamstrung the legislature, and resulted in almost no free choices anymore in budgetary decision.

(b) The legislature—due to partisan gerrymandering, the unnecessarily large number of legislators in an unnecessary bicameral system, and term-limits—is inexperienced, captive to special interests, and increasingly incompetent.

(c) State employees have taken over the state: they are paid far above the national average, not accountable, and almost impossible to fire when found to be incompetent. The state pension system is unsustainable. Pay cuts, lay-offs, or furloughs loom.

(d) The nation’s highest income, sales, and gas taxes have driven out the most productive residents—to the tune of 3,500 a week—to no-tax or little-tax neighboring states.

OK— agreed, and I have written all that myself in various articles. But there is another problem never raised in polite company.

California, by most estimates, has somewhere between 40-50% of the nation’s illegal immigrants. That may mean 5-7 million residents here illegally, most without English, documentation, or high-school diplomas.

This makes the practice of assimilation into the middle-class a multigenerational process over decades, rather than in the past, when immigrants came in fewer numbers and more often legally.

The state ranks 47-48th in most studies of the achievement levels of the nation’s schools, mostly due to millions of entering students who do not speak English well, if at all.

Of the some $50 billion in remittances that leave the U.S. each year to Latin America, perhaps $20 billion come from California residents, draining the state of capital, and ensuring that the donors will be in need of state health, education, housing and food supplements.

California’s taxpayers, in essence, subsidize Oaxaca and Jalisco—that may be humanitarian, and worthy of praise, but it is costly nonetheless, and perhaps beyond the financial resources of the majority of the population.

I’ll pass on increased per capita rates of crime, gangs, etc. that are considered too illiberal to mention.

But if studies are correct that anyone who comes north, without English, legality, and education, over his life-cycle will have to draw somewhere between $50,000 and $70,000 more in entitlements than he contributes in various taxes, and if we were to prorate that on an annual basis, and if we were to multiply that by several million, then one can envision an annual outlay of several billion in state expenditures.

Instead, illegal immigration is never much cited as a contributor to California’s fiscal implosion. To mention all this is considered racist.

Yet, to take one instance, the cost of incarcerating the state’s illegal aliens alone exceeds the budget of the new UC Merced, a campus intended to serve mostly minority communities of the central valley.

The solution? Allow only legal immigration. Base admittance to the U.S. mostly on skills and our own need for expertise and capital. Trust in merit, and ignore the race and origin of the would-be immigrant.

SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL THE GERMANS THAT IT'S ALL GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT AND THAT THE MAGIC MULATTO MUSLIM, MARXIST MESSIAH HAS SPENT A LIFETIME BEING OUT TO LUNCH.

German commentators take a closer look.

Center-left daily Süddeutsche Zeitung writes on Thursday:

"Obama made a serious misjudgement.

Right at the beginning of his first year in office, he saved the banks, rescued the automobile industry from collapse and passed a huge economic stimulus package.

He had hoped that these enormous deeds would give him the space to address those issues which are dearest to him: health care reform, climate change and investment in education."

"Those issues, however, are clearly not priorities for people in the US at the moment.

Scott Brown campaigned on two promises, both of which apparently struck a nerve with the electorate. He wants to block health care reform and he wants to find ways to reduce the enormous budget deficit.

It is here where the roots of dissatisfaction with Obama are to be found. His reform agenda, in its current form, is highly suspect to Americans. And they have the impression that, if he continues piling up debt, he will be gambling away the country's future."

Bush Really, Really, Really Did Do It, wrote Victor Davis Hanson:

No one likes a serial whiner. It has been a year now — and Obama still blames George W. Bush ad nauseam.

He did it in Massachusetts again — and on the eve of the election, no less. Blaming the past for the mistakes of the present gets old quickly.

And when one adds in the constant What’s the Matter With Kansas? brand of condescension about naïve yokels not knowing what’s good for them, it gets even worse.

THE MESSIAH SPEAKS FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP.

Jan 20, 3:48 PM (ET)

By ERICA WERNER

President Barack Obama advised fellow Democrats against trying to jam a health care bill through Congress after taking a devastating hit from the loss of a Senate seat. He said Wednesday it's time to come together around a bill that can draw Republican support, too.

When Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown takes office he will hand the GOP power to block the Democratic agenda, including Obama's top domestic priority of extending health coverage to the uninsured.

"The people of Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be part of that process," Obama said.

Now Democrats need to reach across the aisle on popular health care provisions such as cost controls and aid to small businesses, he said.

Earlier Wednesday, Obama political adviser David Axelrod said administration officials will take into account the message voters delivered Tuesday in electing Brown, but he declined to go further.

"It's not an option simply to walk away from a problem that's only going to get worse," Axelrod said.

Obama then shuts down all TV broadcasting except for MSNBC and goes on Chris Matthews’ show as Matthews is declared to be the only unbiased broadcaster.

GITMO is converted to a prison for hardcore Republicans and traitors Senators Webb and Bayh.

Obama, lastly, changes his legal name to simply “Messiah Obama!”

Only today, for example, they have started a move to nationalize the student loan industry, thus assuring a free college education for all citizens including illegal aliens–a practice current in Illinois, for example.

Voters. More and more Democrat voters. Include Universal Voting, etc, and you have a permanent Left majority. The one thing Obama has learned from the election yesterday is that he has to move faster and more ruthlessly.

Obama’s White House is filled with economic illiterates. They are convinced Keynesians.

Big government economic policies are fantastic for the elite classes, providing countless career opportunities and incredible power. Since this stuff is so good for them, it should presumable be also great for the unwashed masses who never attended an Ivy League institution.

Obama’s people find it inconceivable that Keynes did not offer doctrines guaranteed to create a booming economy. They will not abandon their utopian goal of having the political class and government bureaucrats dominate the private sector.

Needless to add, the far left is really going to lose it. Some of them may even turn violent in the near future. They will not go quietly into the night.

Please note that in the very first sentence of my previous paragraph—I criticized Obama’s pathetically awful Harvard education. This cannot be reiterated enough. We must go after the Ivy League schools.

Their graduates are too often of very mediocre quality. These vastly overrated individuals have done enormous damage.

“Let Me Be Perfectly Not Clear” and “Make Lots of Mistakes About It”
by Victor Davis Hanson
Pajamas Media

It’s the Lying, Stupid?

“Lie” is a rather harsh word; the noun and its verb form leave little to context or extenuating circumstances. So I use it sparingly.

But I know no other word for President Obama’s long string of “misstatements,” especially the blatant ones about closing Guantanamo within a year of his inauguration or serially declaring that he would insist on healthcare debate airing live on C-SPAN.

How odd that the liberal block is quiet that once coined “Bush lied, thousands died” (even when the CIA and Defense intelligence was accepted by both parties and in sync with what the Arab world and Europe were insisting upon [recall the charge of a supposed naïve Bush taking us to war against a nut who would gas our troops marshalling in Kuwait.]).

In any case, not telling the truth has a lot to do with sinking polls.

So I don’t quite buy the liberal lament that the people will support Obama when the economy improves.

Posted by Cart Williams at 11:09 AM |

OUCH. THAT GUY THAT SAID THE TRUTH HURTS KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

We went from a Republican “culture of corruption” to a liberal cesspool of corruption.

Sen. Chris Dodd lectures Wall Street while he gets sweetheart loans and vacation-home deals. Few could make up a story that the nation’s top tax lawmaker, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, is a tax dodger, and the nation’s top tax enforcer, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, is an even more egregious tax dodger.

When the Democratic Senate leadership started buying healthcare votes at $300 million a clip, our Congress became little more than the praetorian guard, auctioning off its support to any wannabe late Roman emperor.

The idea of a muckraking Obama nominating Tom Daschle as his Health Secretary — the liberal populist who skips out of thousands of dollars in taxes on his free corporate limousine service — was the stuff of satire.

Posted by Cart Williams at 09:44 AM |

SERIOUSLY FOLKS, CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH? IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT THE MARXIST MUSLIM MAGIC MULATTO MESSIAH.

Voters are sick and tired of a terrible year of big spending and big deficits — especially the sight of Obama and his congressional allies almost daily talking breezily about spending what we do not have.

Voters went for the hope-and-change Obama in part because he promised fiscal sobriety after the Bush $500 billion deficit. Instead, in utterly cynical fashion, Obama trumped that red ink four times over.

In the process, he developed a terrible habit of promising favored constituencies a hundred billion here, a hundred billion there as if it were all paper money — rather than real borrowed currency that will have to be confiscated in the future from the beleaguered taxpayer.

It only makes it worse that the more the administration borrowed, printed, and spent, the higher unemployment rose and the lower economic activity plummeted.

Most have had enough of pie-in-the-sky talk of massive new healthcare entitlements, cap-and-trade taxes and regulation, more stimulus, and more takeovers of private enterprise. The country is broke and the people want to pay off, not incur more, crushing debt. What got us into the mess was too much borrowing, skyrocketing debt, and reckless spending — not too many balanced budgets and too much lean government.

BROUGHT TO YOU IN EQUAL PARTS BY BILL CLINTON AND GEORGE BUSH.

Welcoming the rise of a giant Asian economy that is also turning into a liberal democracy is one thing. Sponsoring the rise of a Leninist one-party state, that is America’s only plausible geopolitical rival, is a different proposition.

Combine this political disillusionment with double-digit unemployment in the US that is widely blamed on Chinese currency manipulation, and you have the formula for an anti-China backlash.

Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush firmly believed that free trade and, in particular, the information age would make political change in China irresistible.

On a visit to China in 1998, Mr Clinton proclaimed: “In this global information age, when economic success is built on ideas, personal freedom is essential to the greatness of any nation.”

A year later, Mr Bush made a similar point: “Economic freedom creates habits of liberty. And habits of liberty create expectations of democracy ... Trade freely with the Chinese and time is on our side.”

Pelosi: "We will have healthcare -- one way or another."

House speaker sounds confident of reform passage, even with a big loss for Democrats possibly on the horizon

By Alex Koppelman

Given what looks like the impending loss of the party's Senate supermajority, Democrats have reason to be down in the dumps about healthcare reform. But if that's the way House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's feeling, she's not showing it publicly.

"Let's remove all doubt, we will have healthcare one way or another," Pelosi said during an event in San Francisco on Monday. "Certainly the dynamic would change depending on what happens in Massachusetts. Just the question about how we would proceed. But it doesn't mean we won't have a health care bill."

There is one way to pass the bill, even without 60 votes in the Senate, that's getting a lot of attention now.

GOOD MORNING MARTHA.

"We're going to see this through," Coakley, the state's attorney general, told one guest.

Coakley, in her remarks at the breakfast, linked her candidacy to the legacy of King and Edward M. Kennedy. "If you send me to the Senate, I will be guided by those values," she said. "It's not about me anymore. It never was. It's what Martin Luther King stood for. It's what Ted Kennedy stood for."

She said King would have been on the "front lines" fighting for health care "not as a privilege but as a right, as Senator Kennedy often said."

And in a veiled criticism of Brown, Coakley said she understood that "people are frustrated and angry," but said there were no "easy answer to the tough questions."

AND THE PROFESSOR DOESN'T EVEN USE THE WORD HYPOCRITE. WRITE ON.

What was often left unmentioned in Reid’s now much-publicized racial gaffe was not just his editorializing on skin color and dialect, but his allegation of cynicism on the part of Obama, highlighted by the qualifier in “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,” which suggests that Reid thought the Hawaiian-raised Obama inauthentically switched dialects to fit his audience.

Even more revealing was the reaction of the president — who, recall, as a state legislator called for Trent Lott’s resignation — to Reid’s racialism, absolving him of any more penance:

“I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice.” In other words, Obama brazenly articulates what others have discerned from the tepid responses to Reid’s past racialism, as well as to Biden’s “clean” remark and Clinton’s quip that Obama not long ago would have been serving him coffee:

Those who appear committed to liberal notions of “social justice” are absolved of guilt for insensitive speech.

YABUT JIM BOY, WHAT ABOUT THE EMASCULATION OF THE MAGIC MULATTO MARXIST MUSLIM MESSIAH?

Barack Obama supporter Jim Cramer on Friday said the stock market would have a huge rally if Scott Brown defeats Martha Coakley in Tuesday's special senatorial election in Massachusetts.

"I think investors who are nervous about the dictatorship of the Pelosi proletariat will feel at ease, and we could have a gigantic rally off a Coakley loss and a Brown win," said Cramer on Friday's "Mad Money."

"It will be a signal that a more pro-business, less pro-labor government could be in front of us."

The often outspoken CNBCer marvelously declared it a "Pelosi politburo emasculation"

PIANO PRACTICE DOES THIS TO YOU? PLAY ON.

Unity is important. Predators usually won’t plunge into cohesive herds. They look for animals that wander off on their own.

It’s stupid to think the mission of a church is to build a big facility and get lots of video coverage for a fast-talking pastor who hawks dubious DVDs with his leering, comb-overed photo on the boxes.

You look after the members first, and you try to do God’s will. A church is made of members, not bricks. Let Satan get at the members, and the church will fall.

I think things that have been taken from me in the past will be restored as time goes by. Maybe not everything, but many things. Then when my life is over, I’ll be free from the struggle forever.

The vicious, parasitic spirits that torment us like horseflies seem powerful now, but they will be like ticks and worms compared to us, and they won’t be able to follow us where we’re going.

It’s a good deal. Freedom from persecution, and public execution for our enemies. You can’t beat that.


We’ll be like Mordecai and Ruth, living in safety and peace while Haman and his dead sons were publicly impaled on high poles.

THIS BLOGGER MUST BE A BIGGOT AND A RACIST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WRITE FOR THE RETARDED FOLKS AND HE DOESNT USE WORDS LIKE "YOU KNOW", YOU KNOW. AND THAT AIN'T FAIR, IS IT?

No: this is not a metaphysical crisis. In deepest fact, that can't even happen. (Reality has no "crisis" with human -- or any other -- affairs. It just is.)

This is an epistemic crisis, with terminal ethical and political implications redounding to metaphysical consequences: reality will manifest the effects of objectively defective value-selections and ways of acting for them.

Sooner or later and one way or another, the attempt of everyone to live at the expense of everyone else will fail, simply because this is not what human beings are.

The failure might run over decades and generations, as in a case like the Soviet Union, where untold millions had countless values (unto their very lives, commonly) destroyed to the cheers of defective mentalities who always called it a success.

It was always a constant failure, and that was reality having its way.

ALL HAIL THE MAGIC MULATTO. ARE HIS MINIONS FAILING HIM?

In her own polling, Coakley is said to be around five points behind Republican Scott Brown. "If she's not six or eight ahead going into the election, all the intensity is on the other side in terms of turnout," the Democrat says. "So right now, she is destined to lose."

Intensifying the gloom, the Democrat says, is the fact that the same polls showing Coakley falling behind also show President Obama with a healthy approval rating in the state. "With Obama at 60 percent in Massachusetts, this shouldn't be happening, but it is," the Democrat says.

Given those numbers, some Democrats, eager to distance Obama from any electoral failure, are beginning to compare Coakley to Creigh Deeds, the losing Democratic candidate in the Virginia governor's race last year. Deeds ran such a lackluster campaign, Democrats say, that his defeat could be solely attributed to his own shortcomings, and should not be seen as a referendum on President Obama's policies or those of the national Democratic party.

The same sort of thinking is emerging in Massachusetts. "This is a Creigh Deeds situation," the Democrat says. "I don't think it says that the Obama agenda is a problem. I think it says, 1) that she's a terrible candidate, 2) that she ran a terrible campaign, 3) that the climate is difficult but she should have been able to overcome it,

While polls show opposition to the legislation -- a Quinnipiac University survey found 58 percent of Americans opposing the way Obama was handling the issue -- Van Hollen said the individual components were popular and most people will support the measure once it clears Congress.

“It’s been subject to a lot of demagoguery, a lot of misinformation,” Van Hollen said. Once the measure is finished, “people will see the benefits.”

OF COURSE YOU KNOW THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PIT BULL AND A HOCKEY MOM IS LIPSTICK, BUT DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOGWASH AND POLITICAL PROPAGANDA? THERE ISN'T ANY.

Mitt Romney

Former Governor of Massachusetts

Romney failed to overcome doubts about the genuineness of his principles in 2008 after he transformed himself from a moderate Republican in Massachusetts in favour of abortion rights into a crusading social conservative.

Despite his “Matinee Mitt” looks, huge fortune (though slightly less huge since he spent an estimated $50 million in 2008), executive experience and intelligence, Romney had an authenticity problem that he just could not overcome.

His fellow Republican candidates seemed to have a visceral dislike of him, (And why wouldn't they since he is a threat to revoke their license to steal) though that has abated somewhat, especially in the case of John McCain, whom Romney loyally supported in the general election campaign.

The Republican congressional party has often sought the former CEO’s expertise for ideas on economic policy. It is widely assumed that he will run again in 2012 and if so probably start as the official frontrunner. (So now we know why the dwarves have to stop him before he can connect with the people.)

The question of his Mormon religion – which many evangelicals regard as a semi-Christian cult – will doubtless rear its head again
.

And Republicans won’t have forgotten that Romney struggled to connect with voters outside the country club set and will be want to make a cold calculation about whether this is an insurmountable flaw. (And of course their conclusion will be that it is indeed insurmountable.)

WHO IS THAT REALLY STRANGE DUDE ON THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL? NO, NOT O'REILLY, THE OTHER REALLY STRANGE DUDE.

Glenn Beck

Fox News presenter

The fastest-rising star of cable television, Beck delivers monologues that veer from doom-saying to tears, jokes and rapid fire analysis of Obamaland’s suspect connections, hidden beliefs and dark plots.

His subjects include: the threat of fascism/communism, terrorism, Wall Street fat cats, Mexico’s collapse, the decline of religion and power of the liberal media.

All this is united by the theme of impending doom and the fear that the ordinary American is being forgotten.

It is working spectacularly. Since switching from CNN’s Headline News to Fox News Beck has soared up the ratings chart with his 5pm show capturing an average two million viewers, an unprecedented number at that hour. His talk radio show rates third in the country. There have been five best-selling books.

A recovered alcoholic and drug addict he has also cried more than any presenter in memory, often welling up at the thought of what will happen to the United States. "I'm sorry. I just love my country. And I fear for it,” he once wept.

His opposition to “big government” and Obama has seen him adopted by many in the Tea Party movement as their figurehead. There has been talk of a presidential bid, which will do his ratings no harm.

John MCGOOFY McCain

Senator for Arizona

The losing Republican presidential candidate’s concession speech on election night in 2008 was one of his finest moments, a shining example of the dignity, fairness and patriotism that McCain’s supporters adore him for. (GIVE ME A BREAK.)

Some erratic moments did his campaign no favours, but it was probably always a virtually unwinnable election for Republicans, and the former Vietnam prisoner of war came through with his honour substantially intact, not least because he declined to go strongly negative against Obama and raise issues like his relationship wth the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Plenty of fellow moderate Republicans have privately and publicly questioned the wisdom of picking Sarah Palin as a vice-presidential candidate, but in the end it was perhaps no more than a gamble that didn’t pay off. No one could foresee the phenomenon she became.

The elder statesman remains his own man and one of few Senators whose remarks always command attention.

His objections to Obama’s July 2011 to start bringing home troops from Afghanistan had a credibility rooted in his long foreign policy experience and advocacy of the successful surge in Iraq.

Recently accused Obama of "leading an extreme Left-wing crusade to bankrupt America”.

Obama would have done well to court his former opponent but seems to have missed his chance.

McCain will remain in the thick of the legislative action, especially if the Democrats lose their filibuster-proof majority. Now 73, he will not run for President but is on course to be re-elected to another six-year term in the Senate.

"WHETHER SHE COULD BE A SAVIOUR FOR REPUBLICANS OR DOOM THEM TO CONTINUED IRREVELANCE IS A QUESTION THAT WILL CONTINUE TO DIVIDE CONSERVATIVES ACROSS AMERICA". DOESN'T ''SIGNED ON AS A FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR'' MAKE RICH LOWRY'S QUESTION RHETORICAL? GOTTA' STOP THAT MORMAN DUDE.

Rather than go back to Alaska, become a first-class governor, study policy issues and gently reintroduce herself to the “Lower 48” states in due course, Palin decided to do something entirely different. Stating that “only dead fish go with the flow”, she resigned the Alaska governorship, published a book that broke publishing records and, this week, signed on as a Fox News contributor.

It remains unclear whether Palin intends to run for President – she may well genuinely not know herself – but she will certainly be one of conservatism’s most influential figures for the forseeable future.

Rich Lowry of National Review described her as “an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture, lighting up press bias, self-congratulatory liberalism, Christianity-hating secularism, and intellectual condescension wherever they are found”.

Whether she could be a saviour for Republicans or doom them to continued irrelevance is a question that will continue to divide conservatives across America.

WHERE'S THE EXIT DOOR FROM THIS MAZE WHERE RATS RUN AROUND AND AROUND AND UP AND DOWN BLIND ALLEYS? GEORGE BUSH PROBABLY STOLE IT AND TOOK IT TO TEXAS WITH HIM.

With that share of the U.S. national debt held by individuals, corporations, pension funds and foreign governments having risen in 2009 from 41 percent to 53 percent of GDP, Penner and Walker believe it imperative to get the deficit under control.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to see how, politically, this can be done.

Consider. The five largest elements in the budget are Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense and interest on the debt.

With interest rates near record lows, and certain to rise, and back-to-back $1.4 trillion deficits, this budget item has to grow and has to be paid if the U.S. government is to continue to borrow.

Second, with seniors on fire against Medicare cuts in health-care reform, it would be fatal for the Obama Democrats to curtail Social Security or Medicare benefits any further this year.

Next year, they will not only lack the congressional strength but any desire to do so, after their anticipated shellacking this fall.

The same holds true for Medicaid. The Party of Government is not going to cut health benefits for its most loyal supporters. Indeed, federal costs may rise as state governments, constitutionally required to balance their budgets, cut social benefits and beg the feds to pick up the slack.

This leaves defense. But the president is deepening the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan to 100,000 troops, and the military needs to replace weaponry and machines depreciated in a decade of war.

Where, then, are the spending cuts to come from?

Can the administration cut Homeland Security, the FBI or CIA after the near disaster in Detroit? Will Obama cut the spending for education he promised to increase? Will he cut funding for food stamps, unemployment insurance or the Earned Income Tax Credit in a recession? For the near term, the entitlements are untouchables.

Is this Democratic Congress, which increased the budgets of all the departments by an average of 10 percent, going to take a knife to federal agencies or federal salaries, when federal bureaucrats and beneficiaries of federal programs are the most reliable voting blocs in their coalition?

What about tax hikes?

Obama has promised to let the Bush tax cuts lapse for those earning $250,000 but has pledged not to raise taxes on the middle class. Any broad-based tax would be politically suicidal for him and his increasingly unpopular party.

But if taxes are off the table, Afghan war costs are inexorably rising and cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and entitlement programs are politically impossible, as pressure builds for a second stimulus, how does one reduce a deficit of $1.4 trillion?

How does one stop the exploding national debt from surging above 100 percent of GDP?

America is the oldest and greatest constitutional republic, the model for all the others. But if our elected politicians are incapable of imposing the sacrifices needed to pull the nation back from the brink of a devaluation or default, is democratic capitalism truly, as Francis Fukuyama told us just two decades ago, the future of mankind?

What the looming fiscal crisis of this country portends is nothing less than a test of whether this democratic republic is sustainable.

Gingrich considers self among top 2012 prospects

By MIKE BAKER

CARY, N.C. (AP) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday he considers himself among the top Republican prospects for the 2012 presidential election, adding that he believes there will be plenty of GOP options for voters to consider.

"I think I'm probably on a list of seven or eight possible candidates at this stage," Gingrich said. "

We have a lot of people around the country who would like to have somebody who represents a commitment to replace the current failed programs and to develop a set of solutions that are practical and workable."

Gingrich listed several current and former goverors who he thinks might enter the race. They include former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

He said he will discuss his possible candidacy with his wife early next year before making a decision about whether to run.

Gingrich also suggested that governors Mitch Daniels from Indiana, Haley Barbour from Mississippi, Rick Perry from Texas and Bobby Jindal from Louisiana, as well as South Dakota Sen. John Thune could run.

MICHELLE MALKIN,
Blogger and author

Described by writer Lloyd Grove as “an agent provocateur of the hard right - blogger, newspaper columnist, Fox News contributor and, for the past six weeks, queen of the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list”.

But while Grove detected “a certain grim, off-putting intensity”, Malkin’s many admirers love her for telling it how it is without any fear of being branded politically-incorrect or much, much worse.

Just 39, she’s a long-time fixture on the conservative scene and few can match her prolific output. She reports too, having been embedded with US troops in Iraq and covering the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Her websites michellemalkin.com and HotAir.com drive huge amounts of traffic and she is an avid user of Twitter (she has nearly 40,000 followers).

Her parents left the Philippines in 1970, just after she was born, and she attended Catholic school, intending to become a concert pianist before finding her true mission as a conservative writer and polemicist.

An outspoken opponent of “amnesty” for illegal immigrants and affirmative action, she attracts a degree of vitriol that is unusual even for a prominent female conservative.

She has twice moved her family because of safety fears.

California’s bailout plea

By David Keene - 01/11/10 05:27 PM ET

It didn’t happen in any of his movies, but in real life we are about to witness the spectacle of California’s “Governator” crawling to Washington on his belly, tin cup in hand, begging for help.

When he drove the hapless Gray Davis from the governor’s mansion in 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger seemed invincible and was actually expected to bring California’s big-spending and -taxing ways to an end.

His allies would claim that he tried, and perhaps he did, in a half-hearted sort of way, but in the end the job proved too much for him.

Arnold didn’t just give up, though; he became a part of the problem he’d vowed to solve.

California was once the dream destination for Americans old and new seeking success and the good life.

In spite of his and his wife’s paid advertisements, California is no longer a state to move to, as out-of-control spending, rising taxes and regulations on just about everything have combined to eliminate jobs by the millions, force businesses large and small to seek friendlier bases and make life increasingly miserable for those who choose to stay.

California’s taxes are higher than those in 46 other states and its schools are among the worst in the country.

The contrast with Texas is striking and makes the point as many Californians and California-based businesses flee to Texas.

California has the third highest taxes in the country; Texas the third lowest.

California has the third worst public school system; Texas ranks right in the middle.

Even in the midst of a recession, Texas is generating jobs, while California “enjoys” the fourth highest unemployment rate and the second highest home foreclosure rate in the country.

Last year 1.4 million more people fled California than moved there and those who left tended to be just the sort of folks a successful state simply can’t afford to lose.

They were more highly educated, successful and entrepreneurial than those who were arriving, continuing a long-term trend that exacerbates the state’s problems.

IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO?

Frankly, the Scientologists are probably the masters of positive thinking. If that’s all you want, go to the best.

As for self-love…I am not a fan. We now know that men in prison tend to have very high self-esteem. What does that tell you? It tells you self-esteem is not where growth comes from. In fact, it can prevent growth and cause you to become more evil. If you think you’re just dandy the second you pop out of the womb, why would you want to change?

Look at the Bible. Do we see example after example of God telling people, “Hey, stop beating yourself up. You’re WONDERFUL, just the way you are!” Of course not. Over and over, he knocks people to the ground and tells them to remember their place.

Job. Paul. Various kings. Nebuchadnezzar. How long a list do you want? What was the first sin? Eating a piece of fruit? No, it was pride. Inappropriate self-love. Satan committed it.

If you’re a person with good values and good intentions, low self-esteem can be an obstacle. You should not hate yourself. You should not be crippled by the projection of your own self-loathing onto other people. But a certain amount of shame is essential. It’s the warning mechanism God built into your soul’s immune system. It tells you something is wrong. It brings people to altars. It causes us to change course when we’re headed for trouble. It keeps people humble.

Unbiased Idiocy

The campaign debate is a hallowed tradition in American politics. Once it went on for extensive statements and meaningful dialog such as the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Today it is an opportunity for leftist propagandists to play "Gotcha" in shaping the questions to provide no response that wins for a candidate.

Right now a special election is looming in Massachusetts. It provides an excellent example of what is wrong with the American republic today.

Bankruptcy could be good for America
By Gideon Rachman

Published: January 11 2010 19:47

In Winnie-the-Pooh, there is a significant moment when the bear is asked whether he wants honey or condensed milk with his bread. He replies “both”.

You can get away with this sort of thing if you are a much loved character in children’s literature.

But it is more problematic when great nations start behaving in a childish fashion.

When Americans are asked what they want – lower taxes, more lavish social spending or the world’s best-funded military machine – their collective answer tends to be “all of the above”.

The result is that the US is piling up debt.

YABUT THE REPUBLICANS WILL FIX IT WHEN THEY REGAIN CONTROL. YEAH, AND PIGS CAN REALLY FLY.

China banks eclipse US rivals
By Patrick Jenkins in London

Published: January 10 2010

Chinese banks have cemented their position as the most highly valued financial institutions, taking four of the top five slots in a ranking of banks’ share prices as a multiple of their book values.

China Merchants Bank, China Citic, ICBC and China Construction Bank lead the table, followed by Itaú Unibanco of Brazil, all with a price-to-book multiple of more than three.

Over the past six years, the average price-to-book value of the biggest 50 banks has halved from two to one.

This means that investors believe the average bank is worth no more than the value of its balance sheet. Most western banks are trading at well below their book value.

MEXICO, ITALY, THERE AIN'T A DIME'S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE. HO HUM, AND THE BEAT GOES ON.

Migrants clashing with police earlier this week.

The workers live in sordid conditions and are paid very low wages, out of which they have to pay kickbacks to their bosses, says our correspondent.

Wages are handed out in cash, labour laws and safety and health regulations are ignored, and no taxes or welfare contributions are ever paid.

The Calabrian mafia has become one of the most powerful criminal organisations in Italy in recent years, controlling much of Europe's narcotics trade.

Italy's Interior Minister Roberto Maroni prompted a storm of criticism from the leftist opposition by suggesting that the violence was the result of not addressing the issue of illegal workers in the country.

Many of the migrants have been living in squalid temporary camps.
"There's a difficult situation in Rosarno, like in other places, because for years illegal immigration - which feeds criminal activities - has been tolerated and nothing effective has ever been done about it," he said according to Italy's La Repubblica newspaper.

EVIL DOERS SPEAK WITH FORKED TONGUES. FOOLS LISTEN AND BELIEVE THEIR LIES.

Now we come to the crux of the matter: If rightist rhetoric can inspire others to violence just like the leftist variety, what determines culpability? Well, we must ask the only relevant question about that rhetoric:

Is it the Truth?

At the end of the day, one who speaks the Truth may inspire violence against givers of lies just as one who speaks lies may inspire violence against the tellers of Truth.

But this isn’t the fault of the Truth; it simply means that society needs more of it.

So the moral of this story is that we all can inspire violence with words, but not all of us speak inspired words.

Evil may be done in the name of good or evil, but it is only those who speak the latter who have blood on their hands.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON ASKED THE QUESTIONS YEARS AGO. I STILL DON'T HEAR THE ANSWERS. HELLO AMERICA.

"What is an ally? Were NATO brothers like France and Germany allies — whose U.N. performances made China's seem friendly?

Is Greece an ally — whose mass anti-American demonstrations were larger than those in Cairo or Damascus?

Perhap it's Mexico, which opposed our efforts in Iraq and exports 1-2 million of its own people illegally across the border as a means to prevent much-needed radical reform at home.

In this context, the current meaning of 'ally' too often reads as a state benefiting from American friendship that in turn expresses its thanks by gratuitous expressions of hostility in times of crisis."

THE GODLESS CHINESE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT WILL ALMOST SURELY, ONE DAY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, RULE PLANET EARTH.

ENABLED BY ITS WILLINGNESS TO ENSLAVE ITS OWN PEOPLE IN A QUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION, TODAY CHINA, TOMORROW THE WORLD.

WHERE ARE BARNEY FRANK AND CHARLIE RANGEL? I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE HANGING OUT WITH CHRIS DODD, MAX BAUCUS AND AL SHARPTON DOWN AT AU BAR IN PALM BEACH?

"AND WE'RE GONNA' PUT IT ALL ON C-SPAN SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN SEE WHO THE CROOKS ARE."


-Barack Insane Obamanation

AND THE FALLING DOWN WORD SLURRING DRUNKS AS WELL I HASTEN TO ADD.

SHAME ON YOU SENATOR BAUCUS FOR SHOWING UP DRUNK IN FRONT OF C-SPAN'S CAMERAS WHILE DELIVERING YOUR INCOHERENT PLEA FOR THE ONE'S UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE ABOMINATION.

One honest man, not a part of the inside Washington political machine, and one honest woman from the far off reaches of the great state of Alaska, could possibly emerge as a tiny, almost indiscernible bump on the track as America's train, loaded to overflowing with blind robots, speeds toward UNTOPIA with alternating corrupt politicians serving as locomotive engineers.

In earlier times, Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin might conceiveably have had a shot at slowing down the runaway train that now carries the people of the world toward impending disaster. But alas, not so in the New America.

The Inside the Beltway ruling political class comprised of all Dimocrats and almost all Republicans, (RINO'S), enabled by the socialist controlled media, will soon once again rekindle the fires of salvation and start another of their quadrennial voodoo dances and concentrate every waking moment for the next two years on convincing the few remaining thinking Americans who still vote legally, and believe in the concept of Rule of Law, that Governor X or Governor Y, or Senator X or Senator Y, or John McGoofy, or the EX-DA from Law and Order, or the newly discovered comedian and now TV star Mike Huckleberry from the great state of Arkansas will step forward and pull the nation back from the edge of suicide cliff.

Maybe Walker, Texas Ranger, will join the ranks of "patriots" next election cycle thanks to shameless promotion of Huckleberry and Friends at Fox News Network. (News, what news?) O'Reilly, What say you, you arrogant midgit? Maybe you too will be awarded a Nobel Prize now that you've become new best friends with Barack Hussein Obama. I'm sure you believe you're also entitled to one.

King James will overcome the Book of Mormon every time when taught from pulpits occupied by great religious scholars such as of Brian Williams, Katie Couric, George Stephanopolous, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Maureen Dowd, and now Dianne Sawyer. Goodbye Charlie, Feminism lives.

If you're searching for understanding of tolerence and religious freedom, go talk to Pope Benedict XVI. He has all the answers. Until recently, they were stored in closets and banks all around the world. Now the Pope shares them more than readily with anyone who will listen, anywhere in the world.

In the name of God, where did all the patriots, statesmen and true believers go? How on earth, in the name of sanity, did we get to this place?

Truth is, these people are examples of individuals who long ago sold their souls to the devil for power and money. They are liars and hypocrites of the first order. Their job every four years is to step up, split the vote of rational clear thinking Americans so that another machine appointed canditate will be awarded the title, "loyal opposition", in the continuing march toward a communist one world government.

History will never provide a more convincing example than that of John McGoofy McCain, a creation of the Mainstream Media, and a phoney patriot and self-appointed war hero who twice has been a candidate for the Presidency.

It's a little early to send him out for a third time but don't bet the farm that they won't. After all he'd only be 114 after a second term assuming that cancer doesn't do him in before the election in 2012.

Time for Chris Matthews to start singing? Any day now I expect. Maybe McCain's lapdog Lindsey Graham will join the act. Sadly, with the recent passing of Teddy, they won't be able to form a quartet this time around.

Message: Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, save yourselves the pain and suffering of going through a political process that lies in a near death state. Save the money. It's yours, you earned it, and probably even paid taxes on it. Why give it up for a lost cause on behalf of so many mindless people who actually prefer free stuff over freedom?

The dumbed down electorate and the political ruling class are more interested in any additional handouts and payoffs they might receive from government than they are in what it would take to save and preserve a once great but now dying nation.

Those with a few billion dollars or even a few hundred millon, won't need to worry about the perils and hardship of life under a communist dictatorship. That's why the turncoats were so willing to sell their votes for the Magic Mulatto Muslim Messiah's Universal Health Care Plank in the platform supporting the New World Order.

Chris Dodd, Ben Nelson, Brian Dorgan, Harry Reid, Blanche Lincoln, Mary Landrieu, Nancy Pelosi and countless others willingly fell on their swords for the One, then staggered to their respective banks dragging bags filled with your money, and made huge deposits in their own personal accounts. Yep, he promished he would redistribute the wealth, he did indeed. And The Lord and Savior would never lie now, would he?

Nothing but a future of roses in bloom, sunshine and pristine beaches for the looters of the treasury and their families with whom they are now deciding in lockstep, they wish to "spend more time". Thank you taxpayers of the United States of America. You made it all possible and they will be eternally grateful for your generosity.

Keep hope alive? Thanks for those inspiring words Jessie Jackson. Good luck in your efforts old gray haired Americans, you Tea Party warriors. Go get 'em.

My message is this: Sorry folks but sometimes the truth hurts. There are more of them than there are of you and they are much more dedicated to their cause than you are to yours. They won.

One upping free stuff for everone in the world is not simply a high hurdle to try to leap over, it is an impossibility. Selling snake oil to fools on the other hand is easy and extremely profitable. You can look it up in some of Al Gore's tired old speeches. It's been reported that the raving lunatic made a billion dollars screaming nonsense and that he still has an unlimited supply of snake oil on hand, stored somewhere near his Nobel Prize.

Globalist goal no. 1: Destruction of the economy of the United States of America. Nearly accomplished in the Messiah's first year in office. You do not build and preserve a great nation using Monopoly Money. It has no intrinsic worth. If $ l.00 will buy you a loaf of bread and you have $1.00 you can buy one loaf of bread. And if it takes $100.00 to buy a loaf of bread and you have $100.00, you can still buy only one loaf of bread. That's economics 101. I don't think they teach it at Harvard. If they do, Professor Obama skipped the class.

Globalist goal no. 2: Universal Healthcare for everyone in the world at the expense of a rapidly diminishing number of American Taxpayers and those who in the past worked hard, played honestly with the hand they were dealt in life and saved for their own futures.

A few heretofore clueless folks are finally coming to understand that inflation and redistribution of wealth are the cruelest forms of taxation ever conceived by man. Absolute power lies within the structure of an of control government, run by mostly shameless, all unelected, bureaucrats, who have no sense of accountability, or allegiance, to anyone other than themselves and their personal benefactor.

The Messiah wasn't kidding when he promised in his campaign for President that he fully intended to redistribute the wealth in the guise of fairness and economic justice as he defined the terms. "Get 'er done" the people said, and he began the work.

Globalist goal no. 3: "Immigration Reform", translate, open borders. "Send us your tired and hungry, your huddled masses, yearning to be free." Is that not the promise of America? Bienvenedos amigos. Bring them on. We've got free stuff for you and your families. The guy next door will pay the bill. Ah sweet charity, how great the sound.

Globalist goal no. 4: Cede taxing authority, (Cap and Trade) national sovereignty, and criminal justice matters to the United Nations. Largely already accomplished via Al Gore's message of madness and his apparent insanity as he and cohorts such as Michael Moore and nearly all of the Progressive Socialist Media preach the phoney science and made up consequences of the notion that man has overwhelmed the forces of Mother Nature and is about to destroy the planet by overheating the globe, all the while denying that the sun exists and might possibly be a factor in determining how it influences weather cycles even if it did.

Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's cold. Brilliant analysis, no?

Who after all does not want to save the planet? What gathering of men and women can accomplish the job other than those who occupy the Tower of Babel? My biggest regret is that Kofi Annan VII is not still there to guide them as they continue to bleed the western and other developed parts of the world for the sake of the huddled masses and themselves.

Globalist goal no. 5: Perpetuate the ability of the Chinese government to force child slaves and other helpless and hopeless souls to mass produce products for the world in exchange for a daily bowl of rice. We do indeed cherish our HDTV'S, cell phones and all manner of other stuff don't we? Sadly, baubels and trinkets have much more value today than do the concepts of Freedom, Duty, Honor, Family and Country.

Been there, done that? You have not yet even begun to dance.

Most of you have never looked into the eyes of a dedicated Marxist. Be very careful what you wish for. A blank slate has no soul for you to read, ala George the Shrub Bush, peering into the eyes of Vladamir Putin. Neither did Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin or Chairman Mao have souls. They had dedication and ambition and they shared a philosophy. So do Barack Hussein Obama and John McCain.

McGOOFY AND BENEDICT ARNOLD IN ONE PACKAGE. HOW CAN THAT BE? THE LYING TWO FACED TRAITOR NOW DANCES TO THE MUSIC OF OBAMA'S ANGELIC CHOIR. WATCH IMMIGRATION "REFORM" COME ROARING DOWN THE TRACK AFTER THE ABOMINATION CALLED HEALTHCARE REFORM IS SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED TO THE MESSIAH'S DESK. YOUR MAGIC MULATTO LORD AND SAVIOR WILL TAKE NO PRISONERS. McGOOFY IS SAFE THIS TIME. NO MORE HANOI HILTON JOHN BOY, YOU'RE FREE AT LAST.

John McCain has run against Barack Obama before.

He's running against him again.

With campaign radio ads billing the five-term Republican senator as "Arizona's last line of defense,'' the GOP's nominee for president in 2008 is attempting to bolster his 2010 campaign for reelection to the Senate with a slam at the president.

"President Obama is leading an extreme left-wing crusade to bankrupt America,'' McCain says in one of the radio ads his campaign is airing.

"I stand in his way every day,'' McCain says. "If I get a bruise or two knocking some sense into heads in Washington, so be it.''

McCain got his own head-knocking in the 2008 presidential election, and now he could be facing a party primary contest from a former Republican congressman, J.D. Hayworth, who is an outspoken critic of immigration reform -- an issue which McCain has championed in the Senate, and an issue on which McCain, Obama and some of the Senate's leading Democrats happen to agree.

They support a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.

But on the radio, McCain and Obama could not be further apart.

"He's lived through a battle or two, vanquished many a foe,'' a narrator says of the retired Navy pilot and admiral's son who spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. "But perhaps no battle in our lifetime is more vital than the one John McCain fights now... a battle to save America, save our jobs...

"John McCain leads the charge to slash government spending, bloated bureaucracies and ridiculously unaffordable ideas like government run health care.'' (McGoofy places his calls from outer space).

In another ad playing on a battle-tested McCain campaign tactic of invoking his days as a POW - reminding voters in Arizona that he could have come home to the U.S. earlier from that prison camp than he did (though Arizona was not home at the time) - the narrator says:

"John McCain is leading the fight against President Obama every day.''

FROM JANUARY 2, 2004. SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE OR BECOME OUTDATED.

Friday, January 02, 2004

To the Editor:

Congratulations Times Editors. A Margulies political cartoon was masterfully placed alongside commentary by Betsy Hart recently. The banner read, "Dems becoming the self-destruction party." A jackass was displayed and captioned, "In the last election, the Supreme Court handed Bush the presidency." A second jackass, prominately displaying campaign buttons of each of the nine Democrats seeking the presidency replied, "That's OUR job..." Priceless.

Ms. Hart's commentary warned that If the Democratic Party is to avoid irredeemable self-destruction, its braying jackasses must be reigned in forthwith. The nine wannabes have become a national disgrace and are an embarrasment to most Americans.

"The crazies are in control. Hating Bush has destroyed their ability to think and follow a logical argument. They are like raving madmen howling at the full moon." Childish name calling, gutter language, retractions and denials, outright lying, late stage comings to Jesus, and false charges including insane conspiracy theories about the President are unworthy of serious political candidates.

Three lonely ideas, buying friends, turning the foreign policy and security of the nation over to Kofi Annan and a feckless United Nations and establishing a socialist system of health care, are merely pandering to people who believe that government has an orchard full of money trees and the free lunch wagon is just down the road preparing to feed them.

Real Democrats should restore some sanity to this six month old circus by unsaddling the jackasses and purging the clowns from their ranks before they kill the Golden Goose. So how's that for mixing up metaphors?

HA HA HA. NOW CHRIS DODD SLINKS OFF INTO THE NIGHT WITH HIS BAGS FULL OF SILVER, UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE ON YOUR DOORSTEP, HEADLINES IF YOU CAN FIND THEM PRONOUNCING THE MESSIAH (OBAMA) A LIAR, AND BY THE WAY THEY SAY, C-SPAN, TAKE YOUR CAMERAS AND SHOVE THEM. WE'RE GONNA LEGISLATE OBAMA STYLE. ALL TOO FUNNY? LIVE WITH IT AND REMEMBER, YOU ONCE HAD A GREAT NATION BUT CONSIDERED IT NOT WORTH DEFENDING. MR. HANSON, I'M MAILING YOU SOME NEW BATERIES FOR YOUR FLASHLIGHT.

What to make of all this?

Apparently, the Obama administration came into office in January 2009 thinking that the notion of a "war on terror" was archaic and largely had been an excuse for the Bush-Cheney nexus to scare the nation for partisan political purposes.

Given the long period of calm after 9/11, the somnolent "good" war in Afghanistan, and the sudden quiet in the "bad" Iraq theater, Obama preferred to focus on Bush's constitution-shredding rather than on national security.

What vestigial danger remained could be changed by the charisma of Barack Obama, the obvious appeal of his ancestry to the Muslim world, and the ritual demonization of George Bush.

THE GOLD SACK LIES JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

While the median income of American families was stagnant, the national debt doubled.

The dollar lost half its value against the euro. Once the most self-sufficient republic in history, which produced 96 percent of all it consumed, the U.S.A. is almost as dependent on foreign nations today for manufactured goods, and the loans to pay for them, as we were in the early years of the republic.

What the British were to us then, China is today.

Beijing holds the mortgage and grows impatient as we endlessly borrow on equity and refuse to begin paying it down. The possibility exists of an eventual run on the dollar or even a U.S. debt default.

Who did this to us? We did it to ourselves.

NORMAL NO MORE. REVISED FROM OCTOBER 21, 2009.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Familia de la buena tarde y amigos de Alfred y de Norma Reider. ¿Cómo usted está haciendo? ¿Muy bien?

You see, the deal is, most of us folks here in the Santa Maria Valley and the Central Coast areas of California now speak Spanish as our first language. English was once upon a time spoken here but is now considered one of the ancient tongues along with Greek and Latin. Heaven help you in Walmart or Home Depot if you can't speak Spanish or are not adept at sign language.

Things used to be NORMAL here but things ain't NORMAL anymore.

The Valley's farmers used to tout broccoli, cauliflour, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries as a mark of fame. Now we have more than that to boast about even when you throw another big money crop like wine grapes into the mix.

We now have bumper to bumper baby buggies on many of the sidewalks in our town most of the time, and bicycles, along with taco carts and ice cream vendor's wagons competing for that space. And in the streets and alleyways as well, competing for space with the cars and the pickup trucks with the new blue headlights designed to blind oncoming drivers during the daylight hours as they shake the earth while passing by.

We have some sidewalks filled with people strolling aimlessly, looking up to the sky without regard to where they are, where they've been or where they are going. They appear to have no clue.

We have prostitutes hanging out in public places day and night. We have parking lots filled with the stench of cigarette smoke blown there by countless hanger-outers with no where else to go. We have church sponsored sign carrying beggars at nearly all freeway entrances almost all of the daylight hours. You know, like "from each according to his ability".

The Counties of Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, and the State of California, have in concert made sure that we in the Vallley now share our space with a politically correct and appropriate number of gang bangers, dope pushers, retarded folks, physically and mentally handicapped people and the list goes on.

Used condoms, meth swabs and injection needles lying in the gutters fronting our local parks and even residential streets is a sight a casual stroller might encounter frequently in our new Santa Maria. On occassion, possibly at the entry gate to your home, if you're one of the fortunate citizens living between two condominiums that house up to 25 non-english speakers, give or take five or six depending on the day of the week.

Thank you Los Angeles, thank you Santa Barbara. Thank you Mayor Villaragosa, thank you Governor Ahnuld. Enjoy your newly reclaimed pristineness. All this and heaven too? What is a good neighbor for?

Up is down, down is up, ain't no more good, nor bad, no right and no wrong. We all are trying to answer Rodney King's famous question, "Can't we all just get along".

We're also wondering how Jesus fed so many people with a single fish and whether or not he or she can do it again. The Lord will provide? Simple as that? We need to know because the multitudes of the hungry are growing and President Obama might need to bring another fish or two to our perpetual anti-hunger-outreach programs to make sure they work in the future . No definitive answers yet, but I'm standing out in the fog working on solutions to these weighty problems.

We ponder such questions while additional waves of unarmed invaders continue to pour across the southern border into this area. So far, the northern border has posed no problem. No Quiche here, we are strictly a tacos and burritos kind of people. Hello Mexico, is anyone still there?

We like loud music and louder cars. Even when those earth shakers spread their raptureous tones throughout the night, we pay no attention or seem not to care that we have given away the concept of quiet and and peaceful sharing of the environment with our friends and neighbors. Screeching cats, barking dogs, and screaming kids, are a constant, never diminished, music in our ears, day and night.

And what could possibly be more pleasant that the smell of boiling meat filling your home starting at 5:00 p.m. each day courtesy of your next door neighbor whose belief in "SHARING" sets new aspirations for us all?

How about the effects of a noxious, reeking, poisonous gas eminating from a not so secret laundry operation sealed up in your home for your inhalation pleasure, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, week after week, month after month, in ever increasing volume? Can you imagine how preasant that would be until it killed you dead?

Well you too can enjoy these experiences if you ask your neighbor to drill a hole in his wall and install a vent pipe and point it in your direction. Just mention to him that it doesn't require any approval by local authorities, an inept uncaring Homeowners Association, or even human decency. You can rest assured that the Home Owners Association won't want to question what is going on because afterall, we are a "community" of individuals just as we are fast becoming a "community of nations" and communites look out for the welfare of one another.

No, things in Cart's world ain't NORMAL anymore and they are becoming uglier with each passing day. People with thin skins should probably avoid some land mines that are buried just beneath the surface here.

War is hell, it's a very ugly thing. I know that for sure. I've now been to war and I've now been to hell. And contrary to popular belief, silence ain't golden. Those who don't want answers should not ask questions at Cart's Place. Truth is the only filter for my tongue going forward. No mas.

A lot of good folks died at the Alamo and that history is being repeated here on the Central Coast. Mi Casa has been captured, I've waived the white flag of surrender, I moved out and on but I ain't dead quite yet.

You might remember what Lt. Col. Travis said at the Alamo before the arrival of General Santa Ana and his army, 'Victory or Death'. Well, the likes of Jim Bowie and Davie Crockett showed the world that Victory is a very elusive target in some cases. I'm no William Travis, I waved the white flag. But only because my brain and body would no longer permit me to fight. I tried. I did my best, just like those defenders of the Alamo.

Long live Mexico, long live the the United Nations and long live Barack Hussein Obama. We are nearing the outskirts of Utopia. The Magic Mulatto told us so. He knows exactly where Utopia is located, he's promised to deliver us from our evil past, lead us there, and save the world from the evil capitalists who enslave little people and make life so unfair for them.

Now we go forward silently as participants in Obama's parade of marchers comprised mostly of hopeless souls, useful idiots and those who are so blind they simply will not see. silently perhaps, but still dancing and tapping to the tune of a dedicated Muslim Marxist Obamanation.

This "One" is the Messiah who decended to earth from out of nowhere. Or maybe it was Chicago. I'm a little confused because he apparently has no passports, no visas, no birth certificate and no school records or college transcripts. Only a bag of magic, a teleprompter, and a prepared script promising hope and change, and powerful allies, promoters of a One World Communist Government such as George Soros the money man, and the likes of John McCain the falling down clown, Chris Matthews clown number two, propagandists extraordanaire at ABC NBC CBS CNN, the New York Times, the Washington post and now perhaps the biggest enabler of the crazies is Bill O'reilly at Fox News who recently sold his soul and became a shill for the Obamanation. It has now been proven beyond any doubt, there is No Honor Among Thieves.

But then a Messiah doesn't have to prove anything to anyone does he or she? Asking for proof of anything from a Mulatto Messiah would be a mark of prejudice and bigotry would it not?

Adiós para ahora, de largo México vivo, vive de largo los Naciones Unidas y vive de largo Barack Obama. Las Mesías tienen ahora aparecido todas estarán bien otra vez.

Buenas noches,

"And may it be said of us, both in dark passages and in bright days, in the words of Tennyson that my brothers quoted and loved, and that have special meaning for me now:

"I am a part of all that I have met
To [Tho] much is taken, much abides
That which we are, we are --
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

...For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

Ah yes Teddy, now we know the truth. The cause endures but hope is dead as a doornail thanks to you and your ilk.

CART WILLIAMS TO THE WORLD: THE OLD YEAR'S MESSAGE STILL APPLIES IN THE NEW YEAR. WILL I SURVIVE FOR AWHILE LONGER? WHO KNOWS? WHO CARES?

I hoisted a white flag of surrender for the first and only time in my life in October 2009. I was driven from my home. The white flag still flies in 2010 but now in my little replacement dwelling where at least the air is somewhat clean. Here, the people are not yet permitted to poison one another because of the color of their skin.

A few months short of sixty years ago I swore an oath, "SO HELP ME GOD", that I would to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States Of America. I meant every word of it. I offered to give up my life for my country and on more than one occassion, nearly did.

The freedoms I inherited as a United States citizen were always among my proudest possessions. Self-government by a people, as conceptualized by our Founding Fathers, was perhaps the greatest promise for the betterment of Mankind ever put forward in recorded history. I subscribed to to that idea without reservation or purpose of evasion.

Other than my family, there was no greater blessing in my life than citizenship in a free country where I had the right to pursue happiness on my own terms. Good or bad, failure or success, the call and the responsibility for my decisions were mine, not ours.

But now, in 2010, I have lived to see my hometown, my state, my country and finally the world in an escalating downward spiral, a destructive reordering of sanity, that has overwhelmed me.

My country, my state, my hometown, and now my home have been invaded and taken over by seemingly endless hordes of unarmed Mexican invaders with the approval and encouragement of my government, and sponsored in large part by the Vatican's not always so Holy Catholic Church.

Such madness is not confined within the borders of the United States of America. It is a pandemic disease that has spread throughout the world.

The search for UNTOPIA goes forward. It appears that the Globalist Black Muslim Marxist, Magic Mulatto, the substitute Christ, will find it and deliver all the people of the world to that promised land.

So there you have it.

This Old American has become extremely tired and weary while trying to stay afloat and swim upstream from my Old America to a promised new and improved America, the construction of which is now being finalized in accordance with the blueprint drawn up by the Communist led United Nations and stamped approved by the United States Congress, the United States Supreme Court, and finally, the American People, legal, and illegal alike.

For now, I'm going to wade ashore, dry myself off, and think and reflect on the future if there is to be one. I'll try to remember that "it's for the children".

Unlike McArthur, no promise from me that "I shall return" . We'll see about that soon I suppose.

Adios for now mis amigos, if you get my drift.

A BIBLICAL TALE.

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America, having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One".

He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning but he hypnotized the people telling them, I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monsterous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change.

Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed." And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised that it was good; and they believed.

And "The One" said "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!" And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!"

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats." And the people said "Sock it to them!" "And redistribute their wealth."

And the people said, "Show us the money!"

And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"

And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??" And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.

One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?"

And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"

Then "The One" said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."

And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."

So "The One" said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"

Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!"

And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.

And He said, "I shall mandate employer- funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the clinics."

And the people said, "Give me some of that!"

Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."

And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"

Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!"

And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."

So "The One" said, "Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..."

And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.

Then "The One" said, "I am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"

But our foreign trading partners said unto Him, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more..."

And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"

And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"

But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon "The One" and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!" But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.

It's happening RIGHT NOW !!!

After four decades in power, the Democrats are learning an ancient Roman axiom: sic transit gloria.

Their goal is ever to achieve power, but, for now, at least, that power is dispensed to them, not through them, and, like a tide, can and will ebb.

They might stand on the bluffs overlooking the political Bay of Fundy and scream their obscenities and inanities at the water, but the tide does what it will.

And, if they stand too close, the tide will sweep them out to sea. They are not so powerful or as eternal as they would like to think.

The War on Political Correctness
Joe Mariani

Many of the things that seem to be going wrong for America today can be traced to an excess of political correctness -- if, indeed, that's not a redundant phrase.

When tempered by confidence in one's self and culture, the desire not to offend others comes out as simple politeness. But when it gets out of control, as it does among Liberals, it becomes a need to prevent oneself from giving any possible hint of offense, combined with a desire to "make up" for any self-perceived racial or cultural advantage one may have, at any cost.

Such desires can cause great harm to a person or a culture -- or even kill them.

It's political correctness that's causing us the most harm in the War on Terror, especially in Iraq. How can we win a war in which we're determined not to offend anyone, even the enemy?

Political correctness caused us to treat Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr as an equal, back when his group of Iran-backed thugs was small enough to take out of the picture, if we'd had the political will. Now, he's a major player -- and a major problem.

In so many cases, our troops are not allowed to return fire when attacked from mosques, nor even from homes without a careful -- and often deadly -- investigation.

Every action they take is dissected in detail, second-guessed by the "mainstream" media and those who seem to actually crave failure... and even used to prosecute them for doing their jobs.

In Guantanamo Bay and other places, political correctness prevents us from interrogating captured enemy fighters.

Instead, our troops feed them "culturally sensitive" meals and put on gloves before handling their Qur'ans -- giving in to their psychotic conviction that we are "unclean" and need to be converted or wiped out. The gloves are an ironic symbol of the delicate manner in which our soldiers are forced to treat the enemy both on and off the battlefield.

Political correctness prevents us from demanding that Iran and Syria stop shoveling funds, weapons and "foreign fighters" across their borders into Iraq as fast as they can move it all. In our zeal to treat international criminals like statesmen and elected leaders, we cripple ourselves.

The leaders of Iran, in addition to supporting terrorists and insurgents in Iraq, are openly working on nuclear weapons and have declared their intention to wipe Israel off the map.

Iranian clerics regularly call for the destruction of America, to the cheering of crowds. According to MEMRI (the Middle East Media Research Institute):

"Responding to the sermons, frenzied crowds of Iranians chant, 'Death to America,' 'Death to England,' and 'Death to Israel,' with the occasional 'Death to Saddam.'

Other popular chants include 'America will be annihilated,' 'Islam will be victorious,' 'Woe to the enemy if Khamenei commands me to wage jihad,' and countless other curses against the West.

"The sermons focus on threats against the 'Great Satan,' America, and the 'Little Satan,' Israel, and their coming collapse. Other themes are attacks on President Bush, praise for jihad and martyrdom, Iraq, and support for Iran's nuclear program."

What's our politically-correct response to hordes of Iranians screaming for our annihilation? We wonder how we've offended them, and how we can gain their love and trust. No wonder the jihadists are so certain of victory. We seem to have no confidence in our own culture, when people around the world want to join it so badly that in some cases, they risk death just to get here.

Perhaps the gold standard of cultural confidence was set by General Sir Charles Napier, the commander-in-chief of India under British rule.

When locals complained about his banning suttee, the practice of burning widows alive on their husband's funeral pyre, Napier is said to have responded, "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

As a result, suttee is no longer practiced in India, and the country is much better for its absence.

Even in our own homeland, we have lost our cultural confidence. Political correctness is burying everything that made America the superpower we are today.

Some of our greatest strengths have always been our sense of individualism, our spirit of capitalism, our belief in the rule of law, our patriotism and our freedom of (not from!) religious belief.

The aggressive secular Socialism pushed by the Left is stifling all those things.

Nanny-state government entitlements sap our self-reliance. Punitive, progressive tax rates destroy our reasons for engaging in capitalistic enterprises. Those who want to secure our borders and stop criminal trespassers are demonised as "bigots" and "racists," as though criminals have a distinct ethnicity.

Americans who believe that the purpose of American foreign policy is to promote American interests are derided as "flag-waving mindless patriots" and "nationalists." As John Wayne said in 1972, however, "Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know of a better flag to wave?"

Worst of all, militant secularism is taking a toll on our religious freedom. In what other country would a majority of 82% -- the percentage of Americans who subscribe to one form of Christianity or another, according to a recent Baylor University study -- deliberately act like the minority?

In one recent example of political correctness gone mad, the Olympic skater Sasha Cohen was "stunned" when a city official accompanied by police ordered a high school choir to stop singing "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" on her behalf. They feared that the old song (the lyrics of which reportedly date back to the 15th century) might offend her, because it mentions Christmas and she is half Jewish. No one even bothered to ask Cohen whether she was offended... which she wasn't, as she celebrates Christmas and was currently participating in a "Christmas tree lighting tour" around the country.

The grim and scowling spirit of political correctness dictated that she might be offended, therefore the music was offensive and had to be stopped. Let me point out that if you're offended by the mere mention of a religious holiday in public, especially concerning a holiday celebrated by 96% of the people in this country, perhaps you ought to start looking for a country that suits you better.

We're afraid to make any judgments at all, lest someone's feelings be hurt. We spend so much time asking, "Who are we to judge?" that we actually forget who we are.

At home, we need to remember that we are the country all others envy, and so many people want so desperately to reach that the sheer number of illegal immigrants actually poses a problem.

What other country in the world can make that claim? We need to recover our cultural confidence before we no longer have a culture.

In Iraq and the larger War on Terror, we need to stop tiptoeing around and actually fight our enemies. You might say that we can't win the War on Terror until we start fighting the War on Political Correctness.

The New York Times Magazine It's a Flat World, After All

''If left unchecked,'' said Jackson, the first African-American woman to earn a Ph.D. in physics from M.I.T., ''this could challenge our pre-eminence and capacity to innovate.''

And it is our ability to constantly innovate new products, services and companies that has been the source of America's horn of plenty and steadily widening middle class for the last two centuries.

This quiet crisis is a product of three gaps now plaguing American society. The first is an ''ambition gap.''

Compared with the young, energetic Indians and Chinese, too many Americans have gotten too lazy. As David Rothkopf, a former official in the Clinton Commerce Department, puts it, ''The real entitlement we need to get rid of is our sense of entitlement.''

Second, we have a serious numbers gap building. We are not producing enough engineers and scientists.

We used to make up for that by importing them from India and China, but in a flat world, where people can now stay home and compete with us, and in a post-9/11 world, where we are insanely keeping out many of the first-round intellectual draft choices in the world for exaggerated security reasons, we can no longer cover the gap.

That's a key reason companies are looking abroad. The numbers are not here.

And finally we are developing an education gap. Here is the dirty little secret that no C.E.O. wants to tell you: they are not just outsourcing to save on salary. They are doing it because they can often get better-skilled and more productive people than their American workers.

OpinionEditorials.com Desecration of the Holy Koran - Fitleberg

Arabs blame everything and everyone as an excuse for facing facts, reality and truth that they and there so-called leaders are to blame for all of their problems.

Until they stop their animalistic barbarian behavior and stop spreading vicious lies, myths and propaganda to their people they will not only face desecration but destruction of their own fate. Hopefully, they will recognize and change what they are doing before it is much too late.

This includes stopping their religious “leaders” from leading them down a path of blind ambition and destruction.

One good place to start would be to start teaching the Golden Rule “Do Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You” followed by the Ten Commandments. Once they learn these basics they can proceed from there.

Arab/Islamists desecrate and destroy their own Holy Koran and Islam daily. These people need to take a real honest look in the mirror before accusing others of being Infidels. In other words, those who live in glass houses should not cast stones.

Could Iran Checkmate America?
Rachel Neuwirth

On March 29, 2005 the London Arab daily Al-Hayat published a report on Iran's current preparedness for an American or Israeli attack. The report was translated by www.memri.org (Middle East Media Research Institute). MEMRI introduced the report as follows:

“In recent months, commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and armed forces have announced their complete preparedness for a possible military attack on Iran's nuclear installations and other sensitive sites. Iranian spokesmen have declared that Iran's response would be formidable.”

The interview indicates the hostility, confidence, determination and intractability of the Iranian leadership. Following are excerpts from that article:

"Iranian military sources say that the armed forces and the Revolutionary Guards have made all the field preparations for handling a surprise attack on targets within Iran.

[These preparations] are not limited to the nuclear installations, which are dispersed among the cities and various locations - Bushehr, Isfahan, Arak, Natanz, Tehran, Yazd, and others - but also include military and industrial plants and dams.

"...Iran's military command has taken into account the possibility of a disruption of [communications] between military posts and the central command... As a precautionary measure, the command has ordered all military and Revolutionary Guards sectors to respond swiftly - within no more than an hour and without waiting for orders against pre-selected targets, [in light of anticipated] international political pressures that might force Iran to not respond.

"The objective is to deliver a harsh blow to the U.S. and its ally Israel at the outset, and then to expand the arena, in light of international efforts to contain the crisis and limit its scope and intensity, SO AS TO IGNITE THE WHOLE REGION [emphasis added]. This way Iran will assure its right to respond.

"...All the countries that host U.S. military forces - particularly Iraq, CENTCOM [U.S. Central Command] in Al-Siliya [Qatar], the Al-'Odeid base in Qatar, and the Fifth Fleet command in Bahrain - are among the sites Iran might consider as targets.

However, the biggest fish of all is Israel, which is likely to suffer 'hellfire' - particularly when the Iranian response will use [varied] weapons and reach other targets that the aggressors are not expecting them [to reach].'

"These sources added that although Iran anticipates a devastating attack that will destroy a significant part of its economic and industrial achievements of the past 26 years, it is now pondering an issue that seems to it to be justified:

Can the Bush administration grasp that it will have to send home at least five [dead] American soldiers per day? And how will the administration respond to the [American] people, who will question the benefit of the attack on Iran..."

According to Al-Hayat, Iranian military sources had reported that during a meeting between a French diplomat and Expediency Council Chairman Rafsanjani, the diplomat asked Rafsanjani whether Iran would relinquish its nuclear program, and was answered with an unequivocal "no."

When the diplomat said that the U.S. had selected 325 targets within Iran as the first targets in any possible American attack, Rafsanjani explained to his guest that the Iranian counter-attack would be just as powerful and devastating.

The report continued,

"When the Western diplomat asked, 'What if the place in which you are convening (the Marble Palace, a few dozen meters from the Islamic Republic's Presidential Building and the residence of Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei) is also among the targets?' Rafsanjani answered succinctly, 'Even if I am the target, [Iran will not relinquish its nuclear program].'"

The above interview represents the public posture of Iran’s leadership, which is determined to freely enrich uranium, and appears immune from any bribe or any threat.

They are raising the stakes to the limit and daring us to take them on, apparently believing that we will blink first. What do we do now and how big a price can we afford to pay?

The following describes a HYPOTHETICAL threat to American security based on plausible possibilities.

The 9/11 Commission cited “a failure of imagination,” by our government for our being unprepared for the 9/11 attack. Some may say the following hypothetical scenario is far-fetched but in the wake of 9/11 this scenario appears a lot less unlikely than before.

Imagine that a sealed, top-secret message were received in the White House from clandestine sources in the Middle East, to be read only by the President and Vice President. The message would read as follows:

“This message represents the government of Iran in brotherly alliance with al Qaeda and other revolutionary Islamic organizations based in many countries. This is payback time for what America did to us in the past.

As you now prepare to deny us our right to develop nuclear power we now tell you that we have already triumphed over you. It is checkmate, and we now give you our ultimatum because you are now under our power and we are not anymore under your power.

“We remember your past crimes against Iran. Your C.I.A. forced our elected leader Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh from power and installed your agent, the hated Shah. You armed and supported Saddam Hussein even after he attacked Iran.

“When the Ayatolla Khomeini came to power we tested you by holding your diplomats hostage for 444 days under Jimmy Carter while you, the great superpower, remained helpless and humiliated. When 241 U.S. Marines were blown up in Beirut in 1983 Ronald Reagan turned tail and ran away. We observed how Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter made a deal with North Korea that any child could see was meant to be broken. Now that they have announced they violated that agreement and have nuclear weapons and missiles, we observe your confusion and helplessness.

You claim to be a super power but your foreign policy is amateurish and your society is weak because your values are corrupt. You lack resolve and you cannot bear the pain of real sacrifice.

After we understood your weakness we began our long-term program to become stronger than you.

“We have learned from the Soviet experience during the cold war.

Over the years we have implanted many sleeper cells all over your country. Your internal security and border control are weak and allow millions to illegally enter your country and to vanish from sight.

If you cannot block massive amounts of drugs from flowing into your country you certainly cannot block WMD components which occupy far less volume.

Today our agents are multi-ethnic, men and women and various ages, so that they resemble ordinary Americans and are nearly invisible. Your country is easy to penetrate and easy to hide out in for long periods.

“We now have developed the ability to inflict any degree of damage on your country that we choose. We can strike anywhere, and in the process multiply the effects by also paralyzing your population through terror.

We can do it anonymously so you will not know for certain against whom to retaliate because you have so many enemies. Sleeper agents eliminate our need to depend on long-range missiles that also reveal their country of origin when fired.

We have a variety of WMD in position and are constantly increasing their lethality along with improved battle tactics. We will retain power in reserve so that you will never know just how much additional damage we could inflict and any attack on Muslims anywhere will bring additional retaliation on your soil.

We have enough power in place now to quickly reduce America to a third world status. The same technology infrastructure that allows you to project power abroad becomes your great internal vulnerability. We have long analyzed your entire internal infrastructure, from your economic vulnerabilities to the psychology of terror, and we know very well how to exploit them all to our advantage.

“Any attempt on your part to root out our sleeper cells would fail because they are so well hidden and also because it might trigger painful retaliation. This means that we can hurt you far more than you can hurt us.

Even if you kill millions of us it will not save you from a devastating response by our sleeper cells on your people. We also have the capability in an extreme situation to simultaneously attack your troops and bases throughout the Middle East while creating havoc inside your country.

How many millions of Americans are you willing to sacrifice in a war with us? This is our version of the mutual assured destruction policy of the cold war, but with a big difference.

Unlike the Soviets, we do not fear death, while you are terrified over incurring small loses. Even exterminating Iran still leaves over 1.2 billion enraged Muslims in the world seeking vengeance, plus a devastating cutoff in your oil imports.

Despite your great offensive power, including nuclear weapons, you are actually more vulnerable than we are, and this is now going to cost you dearly. You have foolishly waited too long to confront us and now it is too late for you to safely do so.

“OUR ULTIMATUM: First, you will keep this message secret to prevent your own embarrassment, avoid creating public panic and to avoid helping your political opponents. You will invent a pretext to cease interfering with our nuclear development in any way. You will begin to withdraw all of your forces from the Middle East. You will remain passive as we create a two-tier international oil market. One tier for America and another for everyone else who cooperates with us.

America will face external imposed rationing of oil imports combined with higher prices. All of our friends will get preferred treatment regarding allotment and price. We will be working with other oil exporting countries to shift their exports away from America and to the huge and growing markets of Asia including China and India. We will be influencing Canada, Mexico and Venezuela to shift their oil exports away from America and towards Asia.

It will be interesting to see how many of your so-called friends and allies will choose to stick by your side if it requires them to sacrifice on your behalf. We will punish them if we find them trans-shipping the oil we sold them to you. We will continue to isolate you so you will be standing alone and friendless.

“You will stave off internal destruction only as long as you comply with our ultimatum. In the long run your power will be greatly diminished and Iran will emerge as the dominant power in the Middle East.

In the longer run America will continue to weaken internally while Islamic influence increases inside your own society.

We of the Islamic revolution represent the wave of the future and you Americans are a declining power. The best you can hope for is to avoid attack while your society gradually becomes Islamic.”

After reading the Iranian message the President and Vice President pondered whether the message was authentic and whether the threat was credible. And suppose Iran were to actually send such a secret message to the President. Could we be certain that they are only bluffing?

There was no certain answer because our intelligence on internal developments inside Iran is very poor.

Deciding on a proper response presented a grave dilemma. We need wise leadership, and time may be running out.

Likely? It's hard to tell--but given the public remarks by Iranian officials, perhaps it ought to be considered.

LA RAZA SAYS THERE IS NO
NORTH OF THE BORDER.
IN FACT, THERE IS NO BORDER.
IT'S ALL MEXICO.

Iran and other aspiring nuclear proliferators will draw precisely the same conclusion: Negotiations like the six-party talks are a charade and reflect a continuing collapse of American resolve.

U.S. acquiescence in a second North Korean nuclear test will likely mean that Tehran will adopt Pyongyang's successful strategy.

Please remind me one more time just exactly why it is that I should not refer to Lunatics as Lunatics.


That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.

Lise Hand

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

CART WILLIAMS

Deprogrammer of the politically indoctrinated, identifier of the dastards who did the deed, and would be savior to all those captives of the the Loony Left who now find themselves in perpetual bondage behind the walls of a Dimosocialist plantation.

Americans living today who fail to recognize or choose to deny or simply ignore the danger posed by creeping socialism, may not be privileged to live their remaining years as free Americans. In exchange for freedom lost, they will become members of the "Community of Nations," the "International Community" or maybe even "Citizens of the World".

In any case, they will become part of a more caring and "sensitive" community, where the sun always shines, no one has to work and when trouble comes, others will feel the pain.

And if you can believe this, a huge slice of cake, paid for by the fella behind the tree, will be delivered to each citizen's door each day.

I wonder just how good life can get in that "New America?" I really wonder, I surely do.

King James Version of the Holy Bible

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Some Alone Time, Please



-----Overpopulation is the root cause of almost all human suffering and human problems.

The quality of life in America has degenerated alarmingly in the blink of an eye that it took to increase our numbers by half.

And not just in terms of physical things like pollution, environmental degradation, endless traffic stalls, sardine-packed schools, mountains of trash blowing through the streets, and collapsing infrastructure.

Just try to get a reservation to Yosemite or Yellowstone, and if you happen to win that lottery, compare the wait time then and now.

America is a constant hassle as we jostle each other in a snaking line for our unhealthy deep-fried rations. Taking a vacation, flying in an airplane, going for a drive, the things that used to be pleasant recreation, are now soul-wrenching ordeals to be avoided.

Spiritually, emotionally and culturally, America is in desperate condition, and it's largely due to overcrowding, relentless growth, uncontrolled immigration and loss of control over every aspect of our lives.

People used to join civic clubs; now they'll do anything to get away from each other for a bit of piece and solitude from the faceless crush.

Ask anyone who was grown up enough to remember 1967 if he would rather have things like then or like now.

Obviously, Wall Street Journal boosterism prevents you from giving an honest answer, which explains the incessant drumbeat for open borders.

Sure, Wall Streeters love the armies of illegals overwhelming us peons, as long as they are collecting the rent.

-R. LaBonte

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

It is easy to understand why the multicultural lobby, with its antagonism to American identity, is pushing so hard for illegal-alien rights.

It is less easy to understand why many conservatives, who otherwise stand for unfettered American sovereignty in all matters international, are so eager to dissolve not just our immigration laws but the principle of lawmaking behind them.

They may soon discover that a postmodern conception of rights leads to a postmodern conception of nationhood.

Marcos Aguilar is the founder and principal of La Academia Semillas del Pueblo, a charter school in El Sereno, California.

aguilar.jpg

Marcos Aguilar on National Puiblic Radio: June 2006.

"When I was a High School teacher at Garfield High School, one of the largest High Schools in the United States, most of the Mexican children there had lost a sense of identity because its own administration and the general policy of the Los Angeles Unified School District is in fact to Americanize Mexican and African American children in Los Angeles.

And they would argue that that's good. I believe that that's not good.

Nowhere in the Constitution of the United States or the Declaration of Independence does it say that because you come here you have to become an American.

The United States is who is the immigrant here, not us."

Brainwashing children made possible by tax money from the good hard working folks in the great state of California.

Maybe each child should be given a little a book they could devote their existence to memorizing, much as the fledging suicide bombers in training do with the Koran in the Madrasas throughout the Middle East or the sheep like communist followers of the late Chairman Mao did with their little red books.

Do you think it's possible that we are on the final leg of our journey toward the place where we commit national suicide?

SESSIONS

SENSENBRENNER

When the president of Sessions’ party, George W. Bush, pushed a comprehensive immigration reform proposal, he found an implacable opponent in the senator from Alabama.

“As a former prosecutor, it was just unthinkable that we would have this massive lawlessness,” Sessions says, referring to the unstemmed flow of illegal immigrants across the U.S.-Mexico border. “And to pass new laws that weren’t going to be any more enforced than the old ones was just as unthinkable.”

-Jeff Sessions

Vincent Fiore

April 19, 2006 America, While You Were Sleeping… Vincent Fiore

The setting is a common room in Maspeth, Queens, an old and history-laden area within the sprawling metropolis that is New York. In the common room, about 15 to 20 tradesmen await the time-clock’s imminent arrival of 3:00 p.m., and quitting time.

Always abuzz with the day’s doings--job-related tales and technical jargon fit only for the ears of these technocrats of the Trades--I decide to liven it up (once again) by pursuing my favorite topic, politics.

Needless to say, most of the time I am poked fun at by my fellow mates. But once in a while, they seem to tolerate me and my fondness for political pursuits. The areas of discussion vary greatly, from drilling for oil in ANWAR, to whether Rudy Giuliani will run for office in 2008.

But the political flavor of the day this time was--in case you were comatose these last two weeks--immigration. Since the group was fairly representative of New York’s famed “melting pot,” I thought that the discussion would be wide-ranging and informative.

I soon realized that my brother workers--my friends and fellow Americans--cared about immigration about as much as Bill Clinton cared about fidelity within the institution of marriage, specifically his. Yes, that much.

Try as I might--and I raised more than a few hackles here--nobody really seemed to care. I was even patronized by an otherwise even-headed and good-hearted friend who said to me: “Well, thank God the rest of us have you around to fight these battles for the rest of us,” as he snickered aloud, thereby leading the way for the others to react in the same manner.

At that moment, I felt about as angry as I have felt in many a day. Not one to ever be accused of being a wallflower, I expressed my anger and defiance of their attitudes, condemning them and their flippant and grossly irresponsible behavior toward an issue that has generational consequences.

Because we are friends, all was essentially back to normal within two or three days, but not before I drew this little hot iron out of the fire to poke them with: “It isn’t you who will bare the brunt of your cynicism and uncaring attitude towards the real problem of illegal immigration. It is not only your children, but your country which you betray today by your lack of concern.”

Well, I can over-dramatize at times and be conspicuously over-emotional--even bombastic. Some say that is the Italian in me that is speaking out. But is it?

Hardly. It is the patriot in me, the American that loves the country, and the people that are in it. My question is this: how long will the rest of you continue to sleep while America and its ideals erode a little more each day? Not just the issue of illegal immigration, but all kinds of social ills that have crept upon us over the years and blotted out our practical sense of what is right.

America, while you were sleeping we have opened the Pandora’s Box of political correctness, and with no end in sight.

There have been over 30 million killed; we still cannot agree that two arms, two legs, and a head constitute a baby, but is instead referred to by the pro-choice lobby as “fetal tissue.”

We have chased God out of the public square, and in His place have erected the hollow edifice of government.

We have let the mainstream media go unchallenged far too long. The media has now almost become a political party unto themselves, and looks to sensationalize the news on behalf of their chosen political interest.

We have allowed ourselves to believe that we’re in total control of our government, but are now face to face with the reality of what decades of liberalism has cost--and will cost-- all of us in the future.

We have, for decades now, watched as judges throughout America attempt--and succeed--in making law as opposed to interpreting it. It seems all were lulled into thinking that judges were beyond political calculations. We were wrong.

We have allowed “victimology” to become a way of life for the country’s so-called minority populace. That would be everyone except white males.

-We have given title and importance to such low-brow political types as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Michael Moore, and other liberal notables.

We have witnessed the agenda of America’s plastic people in Hollywood. That these actors and the like should be paid any heed at all when their entire lives are wrapped up within the elitist and narcissistic bubble they live in, is simply wrong, and wasteful.

We have given too much latitude and forgiveness to America’s Islamic leadership and citizenry within the United States. Where were their much-needed voices regarding 9/11? Where the hell are they now?

We have watched the Congress of the United States--specifically the Republican-controlled House of Representatives--spend the taxpayers’ money as if it were their own. Over 5,500 earmarked or pork-laden spending items is tantamount to theft. Where are the Gingrich Republicans of 1994?

We have watched the Democratic Party declare that America’s biggest threat is not Osama bin Laden, North Korea, or even Iran. It is George W. Bush. And because of this…

We have watched as the Democratic Party has, without question, aided America’s enemies through its ceaseless and tireless harangue against the “corrupt” and “scandalized” presidency of George W. Bush. Though nothing has been proven against this president, it is not necessarily intended to. This is done as a spring board for what the liberal Democratic Party hopes for most: the reacquisition of political power.

We have watched millions of illegal aliens march through the streets of over 60 American cities demanding “immigration rights,” when most Americans know that these marches have nothing to do with “rights,” but with pressuring the Bush administration into granting a circuitous route towards amnesty. And stunningly…

We have seen the political tin ear of George W. Bush regarding immigration, and it is unacceptable. By his inaction of not securing America’s borders, this president endangers America, a concept that is hard to believe when one views this very same president’s actions in the war on terrorism.

Finally, we have tragically grown accustomed to the everyday ravages of all of the above, and pay them less and less attention. From the annoyance of trying to remove the word “Christmas” from, well, Christmas, to the ability of the states to take land from one private owner and transfer it to another, (Kelo v. New London) Americans have grown pre-occupied, and calloused.

Don’t look now, America, but your country is in the process of becoming a shell of what it once was. But in actuality, it is we who are becoming shells of what we once were.

While you were sleeping, America, the country you once knew has become, in many respects, the stuff of dreams.

When we finally wake up and smell the coffee, we'll be singing the National Anthem in Spanish.

Our roots are not Hispanic, they're Anglo ... and our strength is not in becoming yet another Hispanic nation, it's in being a melting pot from many nations. Our strength lays in our homogeneity.

This isn't just an immigration issue ... why can't people see that what we're losing is our very identity?

... and that, to a people who seem to expect that we owe it to them?

Washington Post

Build a wall the entire 2,000-mile length of the border, and do it first, Wilson said, or else "you'll have 20 million, 35 million, 50 million" illegal immigrants in the country.

Wilson, a former mayor of San Diego, offered a revisionist history of California politics in defending his position.

The 1994 campaign ad for which he became famous -- a nighttime shot of shadowy figures sneaking across the border, while the announcer intoned, "They keep coming" -- was falsely depicted in the media, he said, as an anti-immigrant message.

It was aimed strictly at illegal immigrants, Wilson said, and in defense of California.

City to crackdown on illegal immigration By MICHAEL RUBINKAM, Associated Press Writer

HAZLETON, Pa. - With tensions rising and its police department and municipal budget stretched thin, this small northeastern Pennsylvania city is about to begin what the mayor calls one of the toughest crackdowns on illegal immigrants in the United States.

"Illegal immigrants are destroying the city," said Mayor Lou Barletta, a Republican. "I don't want them here, period."

But Flavia Jimenez, an immigrant policy analyst at the National Council of La Raza, said local authorities typically are not equipped to enforce immigration laws.

She predicted the Hazleton crackdown would prompt a civil rights lawsuit.

MEXICO WINNING THE WAR AGAINST IT'S OWN PEOPLE.

This has been a threefold victory for the Mexican government.

First, it eliminates the financial concern of how to care for these people.

Second, the citizens who would be the angriest about the government's inadequacies keep leaving the country.

Those who would vote, protest, stage walkouts, and revolt—instead keep voting with their feet. Which in turn protects The Powers That Be.

And third, as a reward for watching entire communities empty out, they receive a huge influx of cash.

Dear President Bush:

What is happening on the southern border is unprecedented. Not only in our own history, but in the history of the world.

No country at any time anywhere has sustained the influx of tens of millions of foreigners across its borders.

The eventual outcome is plain for anyone with eyes to see. This is invasion masquerading as immigration.

It may already be too late to avoid a future annexation of the Southwest by Mexico or the evolution of a Mexican-dominated satellite state.

This is not to say Mexican people are better or worse than any of God's children.

It is to say that millions of ethnically and culturally homogeneous people will seek self-determination in a land they will increasingly feel justified in claiming as their own.

Especially when the natural weight of demographic change is accompanied by the soundtrack of radical demagoguery which seeks to legitimize and moralize this phenomenon as a "reconquista."

Many pundits claim you will be remembered in history as the president who won (or lost) the war in Iraq. I see it differently. I believe you will come to be seen, in the years and decades to come, as the President who saved (or lost) the Southwest of the United States.

Mr. President, this is a time for candor. Your immigration policy is viewed as captive to the cheap labor -- big business lobby and inimical to the survival of our country. It is splitting the party and draining away support for your presidency.

We who understand the vital stakes will not be placated by rhetoric or slogans. The failure to recognize this growing and deep disaffection among Republicans, conservatives, independents and, indeed, many Reagan Democrats, is, in the short run, going to lead to a monumental defeat for your party at the polls in November.

I understand that in your heart you want to believe that the border should be an open place where goods and people can move freely back and forth for the good of all. I do not question your integrity or the goodness and decency of your motivations.

Mr. President, this is a utopian creed, which must be discarded before it is too late.

When I watched the Senate Judiciary Committee's one-day public session on immigration reform (I suppose we should be grateful that Sen. Arlen Specter devoted one whole day out of his busy schedule for the public discussion of a problem regarding 20 million illegal aliens) it was remarkable for the near absence of any senator speaking on behalf of the American people or their own constituents.

It seems the overriding concern of most senators of both parties is for the illegal immigrant population. Perhaps these senators should be reminded that they are supposed to represent and defend American citizens, not foreign nationals, illegal aliens or indeed anyone else.

Listening to the self-serving and pandering speeches, you'd think the senators were elected in Mexico or any other country on the globe except America.

Where was the concern for American schoolchildren forced to sit in overcrowded classes, for American patients forced to wait in overcrowded hospitals, for American workers whose wages are being undercut, for American drivers forced to sit in interminable traffic jams in over-whelmed freeway systems, for the victims of organized gangs, for the American college students who are turned away from publicly funded state universities, for many African Americans who are being literally displaced from their neighborhoods while being moved figuratively, once again, to the back of the bus, for those environmentalists and conservationists who want to protect open space and slow down urban sprawl, for the American taxpayers who have had to bear the burden of billions of dollars in increased welfare costs, over-burdened prisons, extra police and security and even, adding insult to injury, for bilingual education?

Where was the concern that we as a people are compelled to deal with these "in your face" issues which have been imposed upon us by external forces, instead of focusing our time, energies and capital on our own indigenous, urgent concerns, like for instance, the medical care for our own country- men and women.

Might it be irresponsible to mislead the 20 million illegal foreigners already here and might it be immoral to encourage the yearly arrival of millions more when we cannot even take care of our own millions of poor and sick and hungry and, yes, dare I say it, our unemployed?

Working as I do in Civil War history, I have had to explore the ugly depths of the American institution of slavery, and have been privileged to work alongside civil rights leaders and specialists in African-American history.

For this reason it troubles me that we appear today to be importing a second virtual slave class of low-wage workers who are hired to replace or displace less-educated or privileged Americans -- including the very descendants of American slaves.

I agree with you that "no child should be left behind." But that is precisely what immigration advocates are doing to the children of America's working class -- by flooding the market with workers from a desperately poor country, who depress the wages of high school and even college graduates.

Little in the current situation resembles the immigration we knew and cherished while growing up in America prior to the '80s.

The new and radically dislocating phenomenon we are enduring is not the old, familiar immigration of yesteryear -- gradual, orderly, assimilating and lawful. The numbers alone are unprecedented.

The American people have been made the victims of monumental social engineering perpetuated upon them without their consent and against their will by an arrogant governing elite.

Those who try to neutralize their justifiable instincts of self-preservation as a people and a sovereign nation by constantly invoking the mantra of "a nation of immigrants" are trying to pull the wool over their eyes.

The House immigration bill isn't perfect, but it is a firm and realistic place from which to build an effective policy for the survival of our country.

The McCain-Kennedy bill looks like it was drafted by bureaucrats at the United Nations, not by representatives of the United States.

To do the right thing, to take the safe course for protecting our country, you will have to endure even more vilification from the left, you will have to watch large and increasingly violent rallies by those who don't want to abide by our laws or the will of the American people -- who think they are entitled -- who believe this country already belongs to them -- who believe the rest of us should just move aside, shut up and smile.

To pretend this problem will go away by pandering to the illegal population, or to leave it for the next generation to solve is national suicide.

The moment has arrived. The Senate has already begun its bloviations and self-agrandizing platitudes, its morality play of good and evil wherein they the noble senators are cast as the redeemers of the entire world population seeking only to "live the American dream."

We know by their coded words they will do nothing meaningful to really solve the problem or to defend America. If their actions of the past 20 years are a guide, they will only take the pose of pretending to do so. As a movie director I can see bad acting a mile away.

Today there are two Republican Parties. One is now seen correctly by most Americans as responsive first and foremost to the demands of multinational corporations, the agro-business and the Chamber of Commerce. The other, best represented by the embattled members of the House, represents grass-roots America -- we the people.

In this debate you have the opportunity to make the party one and whole again, to regain its soul and return it to the service and the sovereignty of the American people.

Mr. President, you must disenthrall yourself from the failed policies of the present. I implore you to rethink this issue and to change course.

Millions of Americans, a great majority of your fellow citizens will be with you. Start speaking and doing the sensible, courageous and right thing.

USS TOLOVANA A064

USS Tolovana (AO-64) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. She served her country primarily in the Pacific Ocean Theatre of Operations, and provided petroleum products where needed to combat ships. For performing this dangerous task in combat areas, she was awarded one battle star during World War II, two during the Korean War, and thirteen campaign stars and the Navy Unit Commendation during the Vietnam War.

USS Tolovana was the home of Cart Williams from February 1951 to October 1954.

North Korea Vows Nuke Attack
If Provoked By The United States.

Knowing full well the folly and almost guaranteed failure of the mission, one "Old American" in a leaky little boat without a paddle, floats on toward an emerging "New America," advocating for a free people and a sovereign nation.

But, "Old America" deserves no less than an all or nothing best effort to save her.

For the "New America", neither a sou, a cent nor a farthing.

The line of demarkation has disappeared, the call to battle has sounded, the cannon is loaded.

So, bring on those fascists, socialists commie rat finks and towel draped middle east terrorist savages. Show them no quarter. Yeah, that's right,

"BRING 'EM ON".

One old American, dazed, confused and adrift in an emerging new socialist America, equipped with nothing more than a leaky little boat without a paddle and a dinky little computer without a mouse, armed with nothing more lethal than a rusty old pitchfork with blunt tines, set sail up Ship Creek to join with other patriots in a two front war for survival of comrades, self and country.

First, a decades long struggle against hordes of masked communist wannabes all across the fruited plain of Old America, and then the unrelenting pursuit of Islamic terrorists all around the world.

War is hell but sometimes it's necessary.
When it is, Patriots suck it up, hoist the colors, sharpen the tines on their pitchforks, launch their boats and sail off toward the sound of the guns.

-Cart Williams

This ship is a leaky tub. It is tossed about by every wave. There's not enough water and the food is horrible.

To save this leaky ship, Captain Langbein had all men passengers operate the pumps twenty-four hours a day.

I have thrown up so much that I can no longer be sick. How pitiful man is upon an ocean like this.

WAR IS HELL

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse."

A review of Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, by Bat Ye'or. Fairleigh Dickinson University Press.

Other, more pragmatic forces, however, have been at work as well in the dynamic of European appeasement. With France taking the lead, the unification of Europe to act as a counterweight to American power could be facilitated by increased ties to the Arab-Muslim world.

For the French, who considered the Arab and African Muslim world within their sphere of post-colonial influence, "France's association with a Muslim federation extending over North Africa and the Middle East would bring it an ascendancy that would impress the Soviet Union and rival the United States."

Such a move appealed as well to anti-Semites, neo-Nazis, and ex-Nazis, many of whom found support and refuge in an Arab world that shared their hatred of Jews and Israel:

"Two elements thus cemented the Franco-Arab alliance in the 1960s: French anti-Americanism fed by frustrated power ambitions, and a convergence of French Vichy anti-Semitism with the Arab desire to destroy Israel.

From then on, America and Israel were inextricably linked in this policy." France stopped selling arms to Israel and instead began arming Arab dictatorships such as Libya's Khadaffi and Iraq's Hussein.



WorldNetDaily: How great powers become great

How great powers become great

The economic growth of 10 percent recorded by China in 2005 would seem to contradict a tenet of faith of all good democratic capitalists.

China's performance tells us that, contrary to the teachings of free-trade liberals, dictatorship and protectionism do not necessarily ensure stagnation. For China is a one-party state and the most protectionist great nation on earth. Yet, her growth has been unequaled by any free-market rival nation for 15 years.

How does China achieve her success? By keeping her currency cheap – refusing to let it float against the dollar – China is able to offer Chinese goods at fire-sale prices to U.S. consumers, while the cheapness of her currency keeps U.S. goods priced out of China's market.

Despite blustery U.S. protests, the arrangement continues, because both nations see their interests served.

America's consumers want quality goods at the cheapest price. American businesses want to maximize profit by producing at the lowest cost. China accommodates both, by providing efficient and reliable workers at a tenth of the wages an American needs to support his family.

The plaque inside our Statue of Liberty reads, "Send us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free." Beijing says: "Send us your jobs, factories and technology, and we will produce your goods at a far lower price than your own people."

What the U.S. transnational corporation seeks is to retain its privileged access to American consumers, while getting rid of its American workers. China is delighted to accommodate.

Thus, it was our capitalists who were the first and most enthusiastic hosts of Chinese President Hu Jintao on his visit to America. But what does Beijing want?

In China, the consumer does not come first. Nor do the voters decide policy, for there are no voters. The regime, state and nation come first. China's leaders want to make her first in manufacturing and high-technology, to become the primary producers for the world, and to displace the United States as the dominant power in Asia and the world.

The story of China and America is the story of the ants and the grasshopper. We spend every dime we earn. The Chinese are forced by the regime to sacrifice the present for a future their leaders envision.

In 2005, China ran up a $203 billion trade surplus with us, selling us seven times as much as she bought from us. That trade surplus with America is responsible for 100 percent of her economic growth. China literally produces for the American market. As a result, her dollar reserves are the largest on earth, approaching $1 trillion.

What does Beijing use the money for?

First, she uses the dollars to create ties of dependency in Free Asia by buying more from these nations than she sells to them. Australia, whose natural resources are pouring into China, is becoming dependent for her prosperity on China.

Second, she invests her dollars strategically in energy projects outside of China and in nations America has declared off-limits: Sudan, Iran, Burma.

Third, she buys weapons and weapons technology from Russia, Israel and Europe to modernize her armed forces. And while her GDP growth was 10 percent last year, her defense budget has been steadily rising by more than 10 percent a year.

"Since no nation threatens China, one wonders: Why this growing investment (in her military)?" asks Donald Rumsfeld.

Good question. The configuration of China's forces gives us the answer. China has implanted 600 missiles opposite Taiwan, which can have only two plausible purposes: to intimidate Taiwan, or to attack Taiwan.

China is also investing in warships, submarines, modern fighter-bombers and space technology. As there is only one great air and sea power out there, there is no doubt at whom this buildup is directed.

Diplomatically, Beijing is drawing to her side all the nations that are on the outs with George Bush's America – from Russia to Burma to Iran to Sudan to Venezuela to the new nations of Central Asia.

China today calls to mind the Kaiser's Germany. As the Kaiser's Germany built a High Seas Fleet to rival the Royal Navy, so China builds up a military to rival ours in Asia. As the Kaiser saw British-backed plots to isolate and surround her, so China sees the United States organizing Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the old Russian provinces of Central Asia against her. Encirclement – in her eyes.

There is no greater work for today's statesmen than ensuring that what happened to Germany and Britain in the first half of the 20th century is not replicated by America and China in the first half of the 21st.

China demonstrated its growing naval confidence again in the latest standoff between American and Chinese ships.

The fifth such incident in two months occurred on Friday in the Yellow Sea when a US Navy surveillance ship turned its fire hoses on two Chinese fishing vessels.

A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the American ship was operating in China’s exclusive economic zone without permission and had violated Chinese and international laws.

“We express our concern about this and demand the US side take effective measures to ensure a similar incident does not happen again,” he said.

MAKE STUFF NOT WAR?

There Will Be War

It should be clear, even to a blind man, that we’re building towards something with China. China’s demand for resources appears to be growing at a geometric rate. The date at which its economy is anticipated to be larger than that of the United States is forever inching forward. And, if one thing is certain, it is this: there will be war.

I don’t know if it will be the nukes-flying, carriers-sinking sort of war that many of us fear in the dead of the night. But I know there will be war. More than that, I think we’re already in one.

We’re fighting the Chinese for the control of the world as the endgame of a process which goes back a hundred generations. China was a great power (perhaps the greatest power) before Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Due to economic, technological, and political difficulties China fell behind in recent centuries, but now it’s catching up and it is the West that is indisputably in decline.

This is a war which will decide the fate of humanity itself, for these are the generations in which man will first leave the Earth and in which the secrets of space and time will be revealed. This is the time, more than any other in all of human history, when one civilization will have the chance to truly and totally dominate the other.

Competition, especially between civilizations and great powers, is typically a zero-sum game. For someone to win, someone else to lose. Every bit of economic influence gained by China is a defeat for the West. Every word of Chinese spoken upon this Earth, every advance of Chinese culture, however small, is a defeat for the West. Every Chinese baby born to grow up to be a productive subject of China is a defeat for the West. When they win, we lose.

Here is an inalterable fact: the world can support the United States, with 5% of the world’s population, consuming a quarter of the world’s resources. It is physically impossible for China, with a population accounting for more than 20% of humanity, to do the same. We can find more resources, of course.

But not that many more. The world’s resources are capable of supporting the American people and the rest of the people of the West in their present standard of living: they are not capable of supporting the people of the West and the people of China at the same standard.

This fact, fearful and inalterable, sows the seeds of future conflict. The two nations, together with the other rising nations of the Earth, cannot possibly enjoy the standard of living that each wishes at the same time.

We cannot yield out standard of living to them. We have no reason to. China has always been an inferior nation and deserves to be. We ought not surrender, we ought not compromise. There is no rational reason for us to consider sharing with the Chinese so long as any other option remains open to us. I, for one, am not willing to surrender the least part of my standard of living to help a billion and a quarter Chinese get what they want.

In these terms, we live in a zero-sum world. For someone to win, someone else must lose. I am inalterably determined that we should lose nothing and gain everything.

Of course, it seems doubtful if nuclear war would improve our material condition, so we must consider other options. Thankfully, several flaws in China’s development provide us with ample opportunity to do so.

To begin: China’s political stability is not everything we believe it to be. A closer examination of modern China shows that it is a nation of two hundred million relatively well-off people and a billion who remain in terrible poverty. They are still a very primitive nation in some ways, where the use of toilet paper is considered a mark of sophistication. This can be used to our advantage.

China is terribly combustible. From time to time it’s overtaken by some movement of rampaging lunatics, like the Red Guards, or the Boxers, of the rebels during the Taiping Rebellion. Some great madness sweeps across the land, consuming everything in its path. To put it mildly, the arrival of this contagion would be welcomed by myself at the present.

Of course, if it doesn’t wish to come naturally, we can always help it along. For example, the Falun Gong movement could potentially be infiltrated and, with enough Western effort and money, turned violent. China also suffers from problems with its own Moslems, some effort in this area might be profitably expended as well.

Of course the most obvious thing would be to fund the covert spread of fanatical Maoism and other, similar, doctrines. The degree to which China has become a classically exploitative capitalist state cannot possible be lost on all of those Peasants and, as Mao himself pointed out, Peasants do, truly, make the best of guerillas.

Of course, this alone won’t be enough. We’ve also got to consider the long-term future and expanding the battlefield. First: it means that, sooner or later, we’re going to have to get serious about exploring for resources in places other than the Earth. Second, it means that we’re going to have to begin to consider settling people on places other than the Earth.

But, most o
