McClintock

Congressman Tom McClintock remains the politician for whom I have contributed the most money ever. I am firmly convinced that had the "moderate" wing of the GOP -- the group many of you inaccurately label as RINOs but whom I call SKUNCs -- not stuck their noses into the grassroots recall of Gov. Davis, the last seven* years of California's history would have been much different because he'd have been governor instead of Schwarzenegger. We would have been enjoying one remarkable recovery instead of this disastrous decline. And it is destined to continue under Jerry Brown (who would never have been elected but for the disaster that was Arnold) who has a  legislature so corrupt and Marxist that even he has had to veto some of their excesses.

Mr. McClintock gave a speech recently, A Second Term for Obama Would Make the United States Go as California Has Gone, that I feel I must share highlights with my readers. He recaps recent California history. He interstices it with abject warnings that predict starkly what is in store for this Nation if conservatives allow the SKUNCs to stifle them and their candidates again. [emphasis added]

You are here in California to answer an important theoretical question and now you have your answer.

Yes, this is what Barack Obama’s second term would look like.

Study it. Fear it. And then go home and make sure that it never happens to the rest of the country.

Wouldn't It Be Ironic?

Were Mitt Romney to lose the GOP nomination to Herman Cain, it would be despite Mr. Cain having used the term brainwashing.

For those too young or of faint memory, here is the short reason it would be ironic.

It is because Mitt's father George Romney, the then sitting Republican governor of Michigan and front running candidate for the 1968 GOP nomination, fell from his perch for using the term.

"Brainwashing" was the headlines in the political news at about the same time in the nomination cycle (Sept 1967) as it is now in 2011. (At the link, Time Magazine had a field day with the story, and hardly could hide their glee.)

After Mr. Cain's critically equating black voting preferences to brainwashing, what transpires this go-round remains to be seen. I and many other conservative thinkers wish Mr. Cain much success, and that would of necessity come at the cost of Mr. Romney's ambition.

However, at the same time, we all ought to recognize the human element here too. I would recommend that we all retain at least a tinge of sympathy for the Romney family because of what would have to be bitter irony.

Could Mencken and Lenin both be correct?

Here's proof.

Had Enough of Good Gop, Bad Gop Yet?

Yes, it's akin to good cop, bad cop. It sucks. They're both working for the prosecution, and conservatives -- heck all Americans -- are the patsy.

The good GOP -- Paul Ryan, Michelle Bachmann, Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, -- keeps the TEA party from outright revolt whilst the bad GOP -- the old line RINO senators, Boehner, Romney, Gingrich -- continue to compromise us into chains. I've conversed with members I call SKUNCs. They are far more ferocious in answering my tough questions than ever they are with their Democratic "opponents." After all, they are just my "representatives," whereas the Dems make sure that the power of the ruling class as a whole keeps growing.

I can see their druthers, why can't more conservative Americans?

No matter how bad has been Obama, the bad GOP -- the SKUNCs -- are wangling it so that a moderate Republican becomes the Prez candidate. And if he wins, look to Cameron in UK, Gillard in Oz, and Key in NZ to know how he'll cater to everything the Left has put into place! He will entrench Obama's immense spending and extensive intrusiveness into our lives just as Nixon did with LBJ's Great Society program.

There has to be an end to compromising with people who want to enslave you. Compromise has simply resulted in you being enslaved piecemeal.

The TEA Party, if its ethos is to supersede this Statist end game, cannot stand by whilst the bad GOP keeps buckling at every debt ceiling confrontation, real or imagined. The boogeyman isn't at the door, he's in the house, and has just about ransacked it all.

When it comes to defending this republic, the only people the Dems and the bad GOP have kicked out and kept out of the House are the termite exterminators.

With Their Owning the Propaganda Mills

it makes no matter how outlandish are their current demands, they make our fight difficult. For example:

“You want us to let up on making it appear that you are holding hostage a billion dollars to help out in the last disaster relief? Well let us keep the few trillion dollars we scheduled to be passed along to our cronies before we lost power last November.” 

Let me now rewrite my recent insight.

There is no real compromise with people who want to enslave you. All compromises have permitted your creditors to enslave you piecemeal. As in the above example, they have gained time and again due to the spinelessness, complicity, whatever, of your representatives, and so are showing you no mercy at all.

Mark Levin mocks Professor Elizabeth Warren

On Thursday, Mark Levin had a segment in his last hour in which he demonstrated how to turn the tables on Marxists. If he sounds demagogic against the Left, remember that is his point. This is the Left's tactics, as they use it against businesses and taxpayers, but used on them instead.

The object of his efforts, which is what ours should be, is to try to get well-meaning liberals*, maybe only a handful at a time, to understand what monsters they've helped unleash on the world in their name. It is never too late to ask forgiveness and try to fix the damage that is a consequence of electing politicians who ignore and override the limitations in the U.S. Constitution to the power they wield.


At the very least, it may help get conservative moderates to understand why there is no real compromise with people who want to enslave them. Compromise simply means they'll enslave you piecemeal. (If I have said it once, I've said it a thousand times. The progress that "Progressives" have sought was accomplished by accumulating every niggling bit of power that they could beg, borrow, steal or wrest from individuals and vested it in their collective.)

There is another important point that Mr. Levin partially discusses about the Left's version of the social contract that connects it with the Left's hatred of humanity. If only I can keep from getting distracted and forgetting about it, I will make a separate post explaining it.

For now, read this transcript in an effort to learn from the tactic.

So The Slow-Witted Cat

went outside twice yesterday without my noticing until the two times he came back and asked to be let inside again. "How did you get out?" I asked. But he said nothing.

Then, this morning he went outside twice with me into the yard, and came back in with me each time. The last time he starts in talking in an odd way not common to him.

I answered: "Kitten's just gone. You must be pleased. You now don't have to swat him away from his food even though you had your own."

He says "mow, me meow, mow, wmrow."

I said, "Look, you know he liked wandering away from home and hanging out in the street, and playing chicken with strange dogs. Why didn't you do that?"

Bruiser just looks oddly at me with his big vacant eyes, and rubs the back of his neck against my ankle with a soft whine.

So I pick him up -- oof -- and rub his head, and put him down in front of his food bowl. That ended his talking for now.

Bruiser is now asleep on his favorite bed by the window. I figure a few more days of this and he'll finally forget to ask where Kitten is.

American!!!

CALLER: ...And for the purpose of this survey, we would like you to provide some demographic information.

YOU: Okay.

This Vagabond Cat

adopted us in early June last year. Maybe a year old at the time, he was less than 7 pounds and more hungry than any cat I'd ever known. In the time he was with us, that never changed.

He helped fill out the house cats; the 18 year wise old lady and the 7 year old slow-witted, 15 lb, tuxedo cat. Button was in her last days, and Kitten kept Bruiser fully occupied so that Button could slowly fade away. When I tried to help her eat or drink, she said, in her own way, "Don't worry Dad. It's time." She didn't particularly like Kitten, but he gave her that respite from having to outfox Bruiser all day, so his presence worked out well for her. She passed in her sleep on July 31 of last year, less than two months after Kitten had turned up at our door.

Well, this morning I found out that he is gone too. A neighbor from another block who regularly walks by with his two dogs let me down easy. He first asked me if I'd seen my cat. Then told me one that looked like him was several blocks away.

It was not unexpected in that this cat was always too laid back. He would stroll up to most dogs being walked on leash, some over 10 times his size, and get nose to nose with them. But his most unsettling trait was that he would lounge in the street and not duck from cars until they were very close. Keep him in the house? There simply was no keeping this domesticated free agent in the house. He came to us on his own volition, and he insisted on keeping his freedom.

I gotta say I liked him most for his disposition.  Pretty darn honest in cat terms. He just wasn't sneaky. People who don't like cats would like this one. It may have helped that he was more amiable, especially to strangers, than most are.

He was the most quiet of all my cats, and that was very nice. And his looks -- I have had both a red and honey colored tabbies before, but this orange guy was a remarkably pretty tabby. 

"Kitten" -- 2-3 years old

Except for his eyes, which were too yellow for my tastes. (Ah, Button -- she had great bright eyes! Right up to the end.)  I was always amazed that he didn't get stolen. I doubt that he'd have protested if someone picked him up and walked away with him, at least not for a while. He preferred not to be held for long.

Well we always knew this day was coming. It wasn't much of a shock at all. But he will be missed.  Especially by the dogs who look for him each day.

Not the Time to Be Complacent

The forces that got unknown Barack Obama elected are not done with him yet.

And, of course, a wounded animal is a dangerous animal.

But WHAT Is the Nature of That Disapproval?

The MSM Agency of Lies is having a ball telling us that Congress' approval rating is down at 12%.

They also seemed to be enjoying telling us that the disapproval rating for Congress is way up at 80%.

And I am sure they delight in the following figures too.

• Disapprove of Republicans 75%
• Disapprove of Democrats 63%

What they did not disclose is that why I disapprove of Congress. I disapprove of Republicans because they are dominated by an old line leadership that is really in league with the Democrats and the interest groups that influence both parties. Crony Fascism. They are failing to stand firm against further spending because they are cowards in one way or another.

As far as the Democrats are concerned, I don't disapprove of them; I loath them. They wouldn't even still exist as a party if their "Progressive" brothers inside the GOP didn't keep helping them stay alive. Reform the GOP and the Dems will have to fall into line simply because a truly conservative platform would be as super popular as was Ronald Reagan. The sad thing was that even during the Reagan years will still had these Marxist moles burrowing into all our institutions. The good thing about the Left (that works for us) is that Leftist institutions are built on falsehoods, and so cannot stay standing for long. The danger of all that failure is that the country may not have enough solid citizens to recover before we are attacked by the subversive elements that the tyrants have allowed into the country.

I think the bottom line amounts to this: the Congress is at such a low standing because they are allowing the executive and the courts to run roughshod over our individual liberties.

And why do we disapprove of Congressional Republicans more than Democrats?
Because Republicans should know better!

You Can Bet Your Boots

Were Obama a Republican, then who could doubt that Pravda MSNBC would have captioned the following photo of President Obama at the otherwise somber 911 Remembrance something like this.

As Islamists around the world celebrated 911, they had an emissary at ground zero who basked in the glow of a job well done. (MSNBC, Bizarro World)

Newt, Again, Has the Best Lines -- But

"I say it here, it comes out there."  -- TV news-writer Aaron Altman, played by Albert Brooks in the 1987 Comedy "Broadcast News."

Aaron's problem in the movie was that although he knew and understood world events better than any star news reader for whom he provided the intelligence they lacked (William Hurt and Jack Nicholson), he was incapable of speaking in front of a camera without perspiration quite literally pouring from his pores.


I recommend choosing full screen to appreciate the humor. (The embed does not appear in some feeds. Click here if Blooger botches or YouTube restricts the embed at some later date.)

In many ways, Newt Gingrich  reminds me of the fictional Aaron Altman.

Newt's responses last night could not have been much better had he written the questions for Wolf Blitzer.

For instance, as a follow up question from a TEA party questioner to Mr. Huntsman, Mr. Blitzer asked Mr. Gingrich that juicy question about oil company loopholes and fairness. Instantly, Newt first noted the absence of Obama crony GE from the Mr. Blitzer's question, and then went on:

"I was astonished the other night to have the President there in the joint session with the head of GE sitting up there and hear the President talking about taking care of loopholes.  And I thought to myself: doesn't he realize that every green tax credit is a loophole? That everything he wants, everything General Electric is doing is a loophole?"

Both responses drew wide approval from the TEA party audience.

Virtually nobody on the GOP side seems to handle issues as glibly and thoroughly as Mr. Gingrich. What troubles me most is how easily he gets along with the opposition, something I am sure most every person affected by the TEA Party sentiment also senses.

Recall Mr. Gingrich infamously sitting comfortably alongside the notorious Mrs. Pelosi to give a non-partisan look to an Anthropomorphic Global Warming Fraud propaganda commercial. Yet here he was slamming loopholes that that commercial helped get passed.

Here, unlike the amiable but too easily embarrassed writer Aaron Altman, Mr. Gingrich shows no signs of sweat as he makes it sound as if green loopholes were put in place by the Buma with no help from him.

And there are many more twisted connections between Mr. Gingrich and the Left. Please recall how Mr. Gingrich was bogusly driven from Congress in 1998 in what appeared to be payback from old friends of former Dem Speaker Jim Wright whom Mr. Gingrich had similarly driven out. What was astonishing was that the suddenly unemployed Mr. Gingrich immediately was invited into a business partnership with a financial crony of the Clinton's, Ira Magaziner (Hillary-Care's committee chair IIRC). WTF?

This is where Mr. Gingrich demonstrates his physical similarity to Aaron Altman. Mr. Gingrich oozes elitist political connections from every pore. And that, my friends, just won't pass scrutiny with TEA Party members.

PS
I have my doubts that anybody with a wider readership will pick up on this bit I presented here today, but I did it anyway. If the rest of the dextrosphere wants to continue and ignore the smell coming from these "debates" it won't be because I did not try.

Recognizing How Primitive Is the Statist Menace

I was going to title this Coming to Grips with..., but recognition is needed first.

Mark Alger is a fine writer and thinker. One reason that I visit him so regularly is that he is concise in his observations and conclusions. For me, that's very important, because I fall asleep too easily nowadays, and he tends to keep things short.

This evening was no different. In his complaint about how Obama spoke of sacrifice -- as if his taxes on us were freely given rather than imposed upon us -- Mark offered A Clue for the Regime:

Sacrifice, if it's not voluntary, is a taking -- theft. A true sacrifice is a gift, freely given. Your use of the word "sacrifice" in the context of increasing the barely-legal theft of money from the already-cash-strapped American people is despicable.

Well, you regular readers know me. What with my primary concern being encouraging all who will listen to pass along the need to fight the growing threat from neo-Malthusian nuts and thugs, you might very well think that the word sacrifice used in this manner would catch my attention, wouldn't you?

So here is the comment Mark inspired in me today.

Hold on there just a sec there buddy. I get your point fine enough, but you aren't properly deploying your historical telescope and focusing back far enough.

Way, way back, sacrifice was a state imposed function. Things were mandated to be thrown into Moloch's holocaust. Little things. Like first born males.

Face it Alger: The Buma is a throw-back, as is everything proregressive. The real problem is that we are not simply fighting the Buma, we are fighting the forces who arranged for him to be on his throne.

That, my friends, is how primitive is the Statist menace. It is a menace that sees its major goals are very nearly attained. Ridding us of Obama will not put an end to our woes. The forces who foisted him upon us have many others willing to do their bidding. Kind of like how willing is the media lapdogs to lie for them, but with the promise of more prestige. We will need more than a great deal of luck, something along the lines of divine help and guidance, to reverse their rotten gains.

Reader Help Request -- Draconian Theme Nat'l Press Club

I think I am reaching back in my memory to some time in the GHWBush's time as President. What I recall most of all was that one speaker after another, all of them members and guests of the National Press Club, was declaring how America needed a Draconian leader to set things aright in the world.

O.K. members of the press, you have helped raise to the highest office in the land a community agitator who now has exposed how despicably Draconian you wanted him to be. I'm sure you want more of it since what we primarily hear from the Left (and you know who you are) is how disappointed you are in Obama. Why? Because you believe he's gone too soft!

I have not been able to find a transcript of that National Press Club broadcast. I think such broadcasts was a fairly regular feature that NPR aired on weekends back then, and that this was one I happened to hear. God knows what revelations might be plumbed from such an archive of transcripts or tapes.

I would love to know what illustrious newsmen were as making the statements like in response to some schoolmarm who had given her class an assignment to write a short essay using the new word she had taught them.

The dextrosphere might be able to make an issue of how in lockstep those bastards were even back then, and so how could we really be surprised that they helped elect this oaf?

Yeah, might is the iffy word I know. But it still would be interesting to rehear that broadcast.

What I am passing along to you is this: I clearly remember that such a broadcast was made. So anyone who has the skills and thinks it might be fun to find out the names of those schoolboys, or maybe find out who set the agenda to speak on "America Needs a Draconian Leader," I promise you it did happen.

Contrast -- more

Encouraged by a couple of readers of yesterday's Contrast, I will now try to expose how long this lying has been going on.

It's pathetically funny. Bill Clinton got boundless credit from the mainstream media agency of lies for the boom of the nineties. But it was the people electing to switch control of both houses of Congress to the GOP for the first time in over 4o years that did it. When he made that famous statement -- "the era of big government is over" -- after more than a year of fighting with the new Congress, it was him doing his chameleon act in preparation for running for reelection that same year.

When Clinton made that statement on the night of Tuesday January 23, 1996, few people heeded him walking it back (making a lie of his Tuesday statement) on his Saturday radio address only four days later. Here's some telling excerpts from the complete transcript as provided by CNN after which I fisk each of them.

"...The era of big government is over, but we can't go back to a time when our citizens were just left to fend for themselves...." [yup -- his kind cannot leave us unmolested lest we thrive!]

"... we must balance the budget. In the 12 years before I took office the deficit skyrocketed and our national debt quadrupled...." [There's Buma's precedent for blaming the consequences of his making matters worse on his predecessors.]

"...From time to time, to keep [America's debt promises], Congress has had to pass debt ceiling legislation so the government can meet its obligations. Congress has always done this when necessary. But this Congress, especially some in the House of Representatives, are trying to use the debt ceiling as a way to get its way in the budget negotiations." [And the overspending Statists kept right on spending because of backstabbers in the GOP insisting we must succumb to this blackmail INSTEAD of reducing expenditures!]

"...What could happen if the United States government failed to meet its obligations? Our unbroken record of keeping our word could end, with taxpayers bearing the cost for years to come, because interest rates would go up on United States obligations." [what a grim lie -- as if the now monumental added debt won't be paid by taxpayers?]

"And interest rates could also go up for businesses, consumers, and homeowners, many of whom have interest rates that vary according to the government's interest rates. [And now we know that the Statists enslave more taxpayers by giving out more loans to ever more credit bums thru Fannie and Freddie and strong-arming smaller banks.]

"And for tens of millions of Americans, the unthinkable could happen. The Social Security checks they count on would not be able to be mailed out." [That bastard wouldn't stop with this unnecessary threat -- and so today the Dems and the Pubbie SKUNCs still play this same lying tune.]

The Statist policies got much worse since then, first slowly under W, and then rapidly under the Bum. So now we are facing consequences so dire nobody dares say it loudly.

Look folks. Whatever the future that our ruthless Statists have led us to is ever darker now. Those racketeers are fully ready to have us blame it all on this utterly lame Obama puppet.

I want you to recall that cynical W billboard "Miss me yet?" That's their game. They are preparing to give us a weaker Statist like Romney so that we will breath a sigh of relief. But it will only get worse unless a strict and monetarily sound set of policies are sought after by some as yet unknown but trustworthy leader unaffiliated with the current creeps. There must be one or we are done. I don't know how to wake up my neighbors yet, so I can't tell you how to awaken yours. I only know, for the sake of our kids and grandkids (and the rest of the world for that matter) we have got to find a way to effectively fight this utterly ruthless destruction of America from the inside.

It comes down to knowing that we American citizens have been sold out by our political system. They simply hate us because we won't let them have (sometimes because it's not even possible) what they want. Watcha gonna do?

Contrast

State of the Union Address, Jan 23, 1996.

"The era of big government is over." -- Bill Clinton

And the DJIA gained 3.9% over the next 6 days (and much more thereafter).

Obama commanded a Joint-session of Congress yesterday, September 8, 2011. His "Pass my bill right away" demands sent the DJIA plummeting 2.7% today, in just one day. Shudder.

Hey, Big government is back. So "just eat your peas" and like it was his message?

Part two is found here: Contrast -- more. (Actually less. As you'll see, their lies blend together.)

Newt Is Still Establishmentarian

Speaker Gingrich did not make much headway in the GOP debate, but he did score some crowd pleasing points when he slammed the partisan-water-carrying questioner for looking to inflame further GOP divisions.

Giving credit where credit is due, Mr Gingrich did a fine job turning the question around so that all attending and viewing the staged event immediately understood that we are fighting not only the Democratic Party, but the media. And, I will add, the system that keeps the media afloat.


[When Blooger eventually screws up the above embed, the video clip can be found at the below link, or by googling the phrase "Newt Gingrich Slams Media & Obama at Reagan Library Debate"]
This clip of Mr. Gingrich is short to begin with, but to get to the actual words I am constructively criticizing click on this.

Here is my example of how to edit of Mr Gingrich's words so that it serves us who are opposing all Statists and Statist efforts to stay in power.

I for one, and I hope all of my friends up here, will repudiate every effort of the news media to get Republicans to fight each other to protect Barack Obama whomever becomes the 2012 Dem Party candidate, who deserves to be defeated. And all of us are committed as a team, whoever the nominee is, we are all for defeating Barack Obama the Democratic party's radical agenda.

There are very good reason why conservatives do not trust Mr. Gingrich, perhaps most memorably for his sitting comfortably beside Speaker Pelosi promoting the Global Warming Scam in a national propaganda message.

God or nature -- take your pick -- gifts us many different ways to protect ourselves from super smart people like Mr. Gingrich. Amongst them are allowing us the good common sense to take his tactics and reword them so that the words serve us and not the establishment for whom Mr. Gingrich works.

My primary goal remains that we remain nimble enough to fight whomever is the Dem candidate in 2012 should they cause Mr Obama to not be their nominee.

Never forget how we fought before 2008 to keep the Hillary from becoming Prez -- and look what we got instead. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, eh?  Stay nimble folks!

Another Commentary Why To Blame Dems Not The Buma

With 'Obama Has Ruined the Democratic Party', JammieWearingFool has unearthed the fact that Dem party members are awakening to their Obama nightmare. Here's a choice piece of his excerpt of Salon:

"Democrats may soon have to confront an uncomfortable truth, and ask whether Obama is a suitable choice at the top of the ticket in 2012. They may then have to ask themselves if there's any way they can push him off the top of the ticket."

You may recall I have repeatedly foresaw, most recently last week, possibly worse consequences, especially given JWF's closing observation:

"Of course one would think saving the Democratic Party would entail things like fiscal sanity, but this genius instead laments the fact Obama has 'ignored luminaries like Paul Krugman' so in essence what he'll looking for is someone more liberal than Obama."

With the radicals in charge of the Dems, and the writers all working to sustain the Statist gains of the last few years, nobody with a conscience should presume that violence is certainly out of the question. Think Bill Ayers being disappointed, and hardly anybody can disregard the risks we face.

It's the Statism Stupid

The thing the Right must learn to focus on is that we are not fighting Obama alone. He is too stupid to have gotten where he is -- and us in the hole we're in -- without a great deal of help from Progressive Republicans.

If we continue to focus solely on Obama and not the extreme Leftist Democratic policies he's been implementing with what can best be described as a form of fascism, Chicago style (e.g. Gibson Guitar), we will run the risk of the Statists martyring their puppet and then mounting a campaign against us. You already see they're laying the groundwork in demonizing the TEA Party.

Now that was one complex sentence, but it's the best I can do in order to keep this message short.

Get this idea out there. We are not running against Obama. We are running against Statism. The crony capitalist SKUNCs who saddled us with the current debacle Obama has presided over will gladly let him step down or otherwise remove him and then present us with the Hildebeast (or some other phony moderate) and expect the more stupid Americans to feel relieved as she hunts down the real conservatives. This is a new era we are in. We are not fighting one man. We are fighting power-mad globalists.

Update:
Right on time, KG provides more evidence (a video by Ezra Levant) on how much help Obama had. Nobody -- NO BODY -- has had so much help from the arbiters of what passes for news than Obama.  

The Latest Marxist Agit-Prop

Is it possible that Ace, who is such a know-it-all, is completely uninformed by the revelations of David Horowitz?

Regarding how Ace responded to Romney hecklers stories at Likely Liberal Plants Continue Heckling Romney.

Ace came up with a viable solution to deal with this latest street theater. And then he frets that it will look bad. Well duh you biggest moron. Is that the extent of your analysis?

Anyone who recalls from one of David Horowitz' books -- I think Radical Son -- how he attended Marxist "summer camps" where agit-prop and street theater were taught and tested and creepy little red monsters emerged. That fact ought to be clear in how brazen are the hecklers as they remain on message and unperturbed to all efforts at ending their disturbance. Romney acts like he's appealing to the understanding of a real human being. That's been totally drummed out of these creeps. All that they want to do, what they are aiming to do, is be kicked out so that the media cameras can catch the desired reaction.

What we do to fight back? Film them in action and run it in counterpoint to the nightly news as portrayed in by the Statist propaganda media.

Why isn't David Horowitz hot on this story? Maybe he WILL be. Sure seems to be where he's got the expertise.

Updates:

73 How is it that the Moron in Chief here either does not know or -- what is more likely -- does not dare identify this as agit-prop? And then goes on to fret that his prescribed course of actions would look bad. Is that the extent of your analysis Ace? Dare not look bad at all costs? Perhaps you've been made an offer you cannot refuse.
Posted by: Pascal Fervor at August 26, 2011 06:45 AM.

Og quips in IM:

"Agit-prop? Why nobody of any consequence uses that term anymore. It's so 60s."

Yeah, now it is so much easier for SKUNCs to aid the Left in getting away with agit-prop. Like the "victim" Romney here, who would never dream of filling a pedagogical remedial function like a true man opposition should. Or like Ace.

Epitaph for A Wasted Wit

Og: The longer I live, the more I understand how correct Bokonon was.

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way." --Bokonon

It was a shame that Vonnegut was such a pacifist asshole, plain and simple. All the more unforgivable because he'd witnessed, firsthand, the world's best reason not to be a pacifist.

PF: He lived his life resentful for having survived the Dresden bombing, and was richly rewarded for passing off his bitterness and cynicism as wisdom.

At the end of Cat's Cradle, Bokonon ends his life with his body frozen in time, saluting God with a "kiss my ass" hand signal.

I wonder what message God had delivered to Vonnegut when His agents met him.

There is no doubt the man had talent. That he dwelled so much on a single personal experience, one that he permitted to pervert his entire outlook, makes his life's work a shameful waste.

It Does Little Good to Blame All Our Troubles On Obama

If Right bloggers keep on making this economic and societal debacle unfolding only about The Won and not about the Dem policies that were passed 2007-2010, we are setting ourselves up.

Consider what then happens when things get so bad that even Obama has to consider dropping  his reelection bid (or something worse comes about due to Dem desperation). The Right will find itself in one Hell of a fix when the Left, with help from openly defecting GOP "moderates," fields a new Dem candidate.

The problem is that the hard Left has taken over the Dems, and the SKUNCs still control the GOP.

We need to be running against the Dem-SKUNC axis. Obama did not get where he is without major support from the Dem-SKUNC axis and the oligarchs they work for.

THIS Is the Way Individuals Must Begin to Speak

"Do not ever underestimate the lengths these bastards will go to. Believe me readers, the fight to continue speaking out against these suffocating totalitarian reptiles is only just beginning."

Our friend Redbaiter explains the rigged game as it plays in New Zealand, but it applies to us all.

"They strictly filter comments with only those that buy into left wing concepts making the cut. For example, they will argue about how much wealth should be distributed, but not allow argument that suggests governments should not redistribute wealth at all."

Which is how talk-radio seems always to work now . Medved has been doing this for a decade, but even Mark Levin's screener did it to me two weeks ago.

"All over the globe the left are getting a severe beating on the internet. Because they cannot control it. Leftists can only win when they’re in control. When they can use tactics like ridicule, or proclaim its time to “move on” or so many other tricks and devices that excuse them from the burden of rational debate. (even run “anonymous” sock puppets under false flag operations to discredit the right, an especially cowardly subterfuge)."

RTWT.

Those sort of words are all that really remain of the talking half of what Og has asserted is essentially a fruitless effort time and time again.


Don't get me wrong here. You may turn a few libs between now and November 2012, and even a few "moderate" republicans before February 2012 (primary races).

But the Statists who slipped in during the Bush regime prepared the way for the many more apparatchiks who came in large masses (through the unbridled-by-Congress Czars) now during the Obama regime. You remember how McCain rebuffed in 2008 any conservatives alarms that Obama was a Marxist with "NO! He's a nice man."

So we will have one Dickens of a fight flushing them from their hide-holes. At our expense is bad enough, but do not put it past these megalomaniacal SKUNCS that they'd accept international assistance to retain their perch.

You must not speak any longer in oh-so-hushed tones such as SKUNC pubbies speak to their Dem brethren. No, you must begin to speak like the SKUNCs speak to us: in harsh and unmistakable tones.

"The Most Trusted Name In News"™

CNN Geography Failure

 H/T Jamie Wearing Fool.

I'm adding this to the Agency of Lies keyword because somewhere along the lines someone will point to CNN as proof that the Tripoli which the rebels have taken is not in Libya, Africa but really is in Lebanon, Asia-minor. The clock starts now.

P.S. For those living outside CNN's fantasy-land,  the rebels of which CNN speaks are in the Tripoli in Libya, N Africa and not the Tripoli in the neighboring continent.

 

For the record, yes there IS a Tripoli in Lebanon, but there was no reason for it to be in the news until today. It is now because CNN didn't know the difference. 

You may recall an old journalistic ethic that says that news organizations have an obligation to report the news and not to be cause of news (let alone invent it). Should there be a rebellion breaking out shortly in Tripoli, Lebanon, blame CNN for making the suggestion to them.

The Rotten Demonization of Anti-Abortionists

The single biggest dirty trick that abortionists and their propaganda arm have done was to paint anti-abortionists as anti-woman. It worked much as reverse psychology works. If those in power deem you must have children, you show them. It worked like a charm, at least since the 1920s, to drive some women to endorse abortion on demand. And thanks to media giving the feminists such a high profile, they did it by telling women it was a way to rebel against The Man. Thus that Leftist boogeyman name for the Establishment wound up having a double meaning that was quite useful for the radical feminists (misandrists).

The reality is that abortionists are an arm of the Left's anti-human squad. That squad is revealed in the following Venn diagram.

Venn Diagram of Anti-Human Sentiments

This diagram suggests that all the hatreds, of men, of women, of marriage and of new births, are all subsets of misanthropy. It should be plain as day that abortion, among all the hatreds above, has played a pernicious role in exacerbating the other hatreds. It was intended to play the primary role in reducing the number of people on the planet. It certainly succeeded in the West through persuasion, and in China through tyranny. The third world's resistance to abortion has advanced the advocacy of post-birth abortions. Once the Globalists attain their dream -- God forbid -- of total control, it is a certainty that any masking of such intentions will be totally discarded.

Here is how you can readily identify abortion as a fundamental program of the Left. The Left almost always modifies a good thing in order to promote a bad thing or to create a bad thing out of a good thing. For example, justice by itself is wholly unfit for the goals of the Left. so they invented and exploited the concept of social justice for ages. And now they're wreaking havoc on our economy with a new one called environmental justice.

And with abortion, the Left has been in full out mode in creating modified humans; subhumans if you will. Here is a partial list of the people being killed by this Leftist program. they are fetuses; they are unwanted children; they are malformed children; they are diseased children; they are functionally impaired children; they are burdensome children, they are unwanted children. Never, no never, are they considered simply children let alone persons.

Dividing up children in this manner has made it possible to convince many parents to hand over their children to the abortion mills. And now the state is on the verge of making it mandatory. How ever they have "modified" the meaning of children, the victims of abortion are still all children.

And none of us should be surprised at this. Tyrants, by their very disregard for their subjects, are full out misanthropes. They value people only to the extent that they are useful, and then discarded when deemed of no further use. Subdividing children in this manner is simply another form of divide and conquer: the despots' favorite means to achieve their end.

The public is constantly preached to about how we must fight the Left's invented "fears." Homophobia, Xenophobia, and Islamophobia for instance. But of the Left's deadly misanthropy, you hear hardly a word -- unless you come to this blog. Why is that? Hmmmm?

Once again, here is the question that virtually everybody in power or behind a microphone pretends not to hear:

How is it that we never hear you direct a harsh word at the Malthusian, Utilitarian and Green nutcases?

You're Getting Off the Point

"YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN NEAR THE POINT."

Some of my readers may be grateful that I recalled the 1991 Albert Brooks comedy "Defending Your Life" yesterday. This link I've deliberately begun at 5:28 made possible by a feature newly discovered at Youtube.

Or for those who would rather work your way to 5:28, here's the embed.



At least one of you will particularly like the interchange at 8:13. This is an example of what the lying media keeps trying to pull brazenly in the face of all contrary proof. It is also reminiscent of what Alan Derschowitz says he resorts to (but with more skill) when he's faced with facts and evidence he knows runs against his case.

I recalled this because the MSM and talkradio (a vanishing distinction) are not the only place we find this subterfuge-balderdash.

I hope you are grateful, as am I, for one tough cookie having provided us a training ground to fight this sort of thing; especially the frustration. He did it again only yesterday. This interchange provides an example in microcosm of the game the public louts have been playing with us. It contains many elements of the frustrations they throw at us.
It ends with a prod to move on.
Its lesson: Do not await another party to tell you what you already know is true. You do not need anyone else's pat on the head to know what is the right course of action for yourself and your nation.

What Rick Perry Did Not Say

• He did not say we need a candidate who will call out the Marxist in the White House. 
• He did not say we need a candidate who will reverse the Democratic Slave Party's enslavement of our grandchildren.
• He did not say we need a candidate who is unafraid of the Slave Party media Agency of Lies.
• He did not say we need a candidate
  • who will keep our borders secure and
  • who will glory in our American culture and defend it from multicultural suicide, and
  • who will end the EPA running roughshod over every aspect of our lives.

Why didn't Rick Perry say these things in this ad? Because he is not that candidate.

Check his record of things like ignoring the border in his own state. Check that he campaigned for Al Gore (1988). (Gee, I wonder if he's really flipped on global warming even now?) Yes his state is booming in comparison to the rest of the country -- but he was also blessed with a very conservative legislature due in large part to the heavy lifting of Tom DeLay.

Bottom line: Rick Perry looks too much like George W Bush -- not simply in physical appearance -- and that my friends is NOT a good thing.

Setting the Standard for All Western Leaders

The much needed standard is set by the mayor of the City of Brotherly Love, Michael Nutter.
Begin listening to this at 12 minutes, and see if you don't feel like cheering by 14 minutes.



Were his advice heeded and his leadership duplicated, the lot of his target audience would tremendously improve. That specificity alone would be make his words enough. However, there is also a universality in his message. That he at all needed to add the following demonstrates how much in our contemporary world critical thinking has been derided and destroyed.

"[21:58]This nonsense must stop. Right now.... [23:53:]We are not going to tolerate that. We won't tolerate it; we're not going to excuse it because there is no excuse for it. Sense and nonsense cannot exist in the same place, in the same city, in the same world. And it is not going to happen in the city of Philadelphia. You cannot have both at the same time."

It so happens that what he said in this inset above applies to the AGW Fraudsters as well. Sense and nonsense cannot exist in the same place. It is definitively not science when results are ordered to match expectations of those paying for the "science."

Where are the leaders of any color who have been given a chance to rebut the many frauds of the Left? Well, they are almost everywhere. But you may not know how many such voices exist because the rotten Statist media shunts them aside, or when they're too well known, talks over them. Our Conditioners want us to feel alone in our unapproved common-sensical thoughts so they continue with the blackouts, the edited sound-bites, persistently giving air time to dissemblers and character assassins.

The beauty of the TEA Party is that we the people broke the isolation when we went out into the public square and became aware of millions of others who are fed up with being talked down to by the likes of a moron such as Al Gore exquisitely represents. On the Internet too, the people can also get to hear the dissident voices, but it isn't mainstream yet. You know how the truth is never given a fair shake or an honest debate on the mass media. The moneyed and powered and anti-human interests have their claws too deeply embedded there.

The opportunities for new leaders to step forward is enormous. Perhaps it is a sign that God still watches over small children and idiots (in a once free nation).

As for Mayor Nutter. If he is sincere  -- and he is not simply speaking like this for personal gain today and in the old rotten way tomorrow like so many pols before him -- you know what is in store for him from the usual suspects. Have no doubt in your mind that "tomorrow" the toolish TV and print and blog apparatchiks will be charging that he's not really black, that he's an Uncle Tom, a throwback, yada, yada, and more yada.

No unduly self-respecting Leftist will be able to tolerate this leader. And don't for a minute think that it's only white Democratic Slave Party leaders who are seething today. There are far too many Republican "moderates" who are also seething and awaiting their buddies on the other side of the aisle to sideline or otherwise dispose of Mayor Nutter so that the tyrannical divisiveness -- as their brain trust, Charlie Manson, envisioned with his Helter Skelter -- can continue as planned.

Be assured:

• You will hear childish ad hominems based on his last name shortly (at a higher volume than ever he has endured in his life -- Alinksy rules you know).
• You will need be prepared to defend this sensible man for your wish be fulfilled that more like him arise. He needs us to help him fight the coming firestorm.
• We need men like him to help restore sense worldwide.

Guardians of the Public Purse

I called the Mark Levin Show last week in the heat of the debate about raising the debt ceiling. I asked:

"Why is there no call for an accounting of all the Stimulus and TARP funds? Why is Obama asking to raise the debt ceiling when it appears that he has sequestered funds?"

When his screener hung up -- without any comment as far as I could tell -- my heart sunk. I'm not even sure he heard me in full because I heard nothing from him after I finished this little introduction.

The facts of the matter regarding, the House of Representatives, is that all spending bills must begin there. Had the House not passed the initial bill then Senate would have nothing to vote upon and amend. Then there could be nothing for the conference committee to compromise over. Then there could be no conference bill for the few Democrats to put the bill over the top.

By passing the initial bill in face of the fair warning that the Democrats gave that they would not cut spending in the Senate, John Boehner abandoned his obligation to the clear majority of 2010 voters that he defend the public purse from further deficit spending. His party became dominant, allowing him to become Speaker, all for the purpose of reducing the size of government and reducing its burdens on us. With his hidden back room deal ironed out between Harry Reid and the administration, John Boehner worsened the lien on America's future. With that deal, John Boehner abandoned his duty to guard the people's purse. He gave into the demands for compromise where there was no movement from the other side, making meaningless the meaning of compromise. Thus, without hyperbole, this was simply his abandonment of our position.

And then there was the media's role in all this. How many times did you read or hear words to the effect "The House is only of three branches responsible for passing laws. There's nothing they can do by themselves." It was sickening once you realize that all these entities were acting as if the government being able to do what it wants -- the people's wishes be damned -- is the way America is supposed to work.
And absolutely nothing I heard reminded readers and listeners that the House of Representatives being the "Guardians of the Public Purse."

Do a Bing search.
It reveals for "guardians of the public purse" 2011: About 14,500 results.
The number of times that it came up during the debt ceiling "crisis" of last week was scandalously non-existent.

However, I did find the following video from a Canadian broadcast from February of last year in which a former Congressman explains Congress' fiduciary role regarding oversight of the Executive branch.



[In case Blogger screws up the embed at some later date again,  this is the link.]


I'd like you to hear what no "conservative" radio talker permitted to be discussed last week or this. The meat begins at 3:37.

"The constitutional responsibility of the Congress to look into all activities of the Executive Branch is very clear.  And when the Congress begins to conduct vigorous oversight, things happen in the Executive Branch. People know somebody is looking over their shoulder. And when they know somebody is looking over their shoulder, they behave themselves.

If they know that somebody is not looking over their shoulder [Czars and their aids], that's when things go amiss." -- Former Congressman Lee Hamilton.

"The Congressional committees in Washington are all about constraining the power of the executive. Because, after all, that's what the genius of the United States Constitution was designed to do: to stop the kind of tyranny that is implicit in a British Parliamentary system -- at least as it has evolved since the years there was a real tyranny there." -- Kim Richard Nossel, Queen's University.

This is a good taste of this short video. There's even more in the presentation that makes my major point. The Congress, by itself, can stand firm if it so chooses. Otherwise, every American will be enslaved by the bad notions of previous bad choices for Congress, and even voting the rascals out will not save us.


And my second point is not to be forgotten. Even "conservative" talk radio DID NOT BRING THIS UP WHEN IT MATTERED.

“What is happening in this world?”

The question of the title is one often expressed by those feeling the frustration from hearing about and even seeing some of the most bizarre news and events in our lifetimes.

What is happening in this world is actually explained by the pervasiveness of nonsense.

Think of the nonsense as chaff in a MIRV. The bomb is more likely to get to its target when the enemy scatters enough puffs of aluminum foil to saturate your radar. It overloads your detection sensors and reduces the effectiveness of your network of defenses.

Nonsense is the chaff of those aiming to enslave us.

The Betrayal: Due to Lack of Faith

In my opinion the House of Representatives was betrayed by lack of faith on the part of the small segment who could have stood firm and tall.

I'm sure I myself could have done more than I did. For instance I did not write twice every day, or even once, far too often.

But I'm absolutely certain that it came down to the individuals who were sent to Congress. They convinced the voters that they would withstand the combined pressure from the schemers and the cowards in our society; our every-day-more decadent society.

It's gotten that way because we lack true leaders. True leaders remain genuinely concerned with those they lead, not look on their followers as the means to personal glory. (The leadership movements were stifled when I was growing up. They were subverted into management-material development camps. Hopefully one day soon I will compile sufficient details so I can fill out what I mean by this; but not today.)

The enslavement of America -- and of the wider world because of it -- will now continue apace.

In my view, this is what happened to rattle the few it was needed to sign Boehner's deal with the devils. The propaganda organs were working overtime, non-stop even. They belittled and demonized – with some variety but great intensity –  those who still had the wisdom to recognize the financial straits we are facing: the situation can only get worse by putting off facing it now. Given the intensity of the shelling, it's amazing that so many still stuck by their guns.

Allen West was a big disappointment. However, I understand it too. See, he has a history of doing the expedient thing where he felt that those that relied upon him were threatened. So I imagine that there were people behind the scenes who worked on that weakness to see if it paid off.

Overall, dear readers, this is what happens when so many refuse to allow into consideration that those with evil intentions could possibly, in any way, be working their will. This is what happens when voices who are supposed to be on the side of decency and the American way invest entirely in Hanlon's razor and deny any inkling to the wisdom of Heinlein's razor:

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity; but don't rule out malice."

Of course you have never noticed how those who regularly engage in moral relativism all of a sudden insist that we all adhere to the absolutist "Never" portion of this maxim. People like the "conservative" opinion gatekeepers on talk radio? How conveeeenient. </Church Lady>

A great many of you already suspect Obama and his backers of seeking to destroy the United States of America so that she no longer remains the bastion of hope she is for decent people around the world. I know you want to get your neighbors and friends and relatives to see this too. Tell me what more I can do to help you make a convincing case. I will surely try different approaches anyone might suggest.

Reading Their Projection: "Terrorists"

Joe Biden called the TEA Party "terrorists."

Ergo, the administration has terrorized the TEA Party and the American people in order to get its blank check.

Straight out Chicken Little terror tactics employed with the help of just about everybody who works in the MSM Agency of Lies, from Chris Matthews to Dennis Prager.

As it worked so well again, look for more projections to come.

Seeking Scent Snitches

Report from Los Angeles, where man-caused climate change is not about the weather.

Hello,

During or prior to the town hall meeting on July 20th, you expressed interest in volunteering for the Odor Monitoring Group. If you are still interested, please fill out application form and return to the address at the bottom of the application.

Thank You!

I imagine once this group forms, they will get around to admiring themselves as did Narcissus, and raise quite a stink.

And then they'll wind up checking out each other in the end. You know: like when dogs meet other dogs.

Recall the USSR's Surrender?

How's that working out for Western Collectivists? They won an open field to make communistic gains.

Today the alleged conservative news talkers (who it must be recognized are part of the MSM) are repeating that the TEA Party has won.
That the President is in retreat.
That "Obama has surrendered." 

It is a SHAM!

Ask Putin if the USSR surrendered. Look at democracy in Russia and the Ukraine and say without doubt that the Soviets really went away.


The MSM Agency of Lies is working overtime to convince you to let up the pressure on the TEA Party Congressmen. The Establishment needs for them to get with "the deal;" to sign their souls away.

Hence, we cannot let up on informing our TEA Party members that we remain with them.


That Obama has surrendered is every bit a sham as saying the communists disappeared when the USSR dissolved. It is a SHAM.

If the TEA Party congressmen go along, they give Obama the out he craves. He gets to spend and spend and spend AS HE PLEASES.

Freezing the debt ceiling forces Obama to make cuts in order to live with what money he has coming in. Anything he legally has discretion to make choices, it will be HIS CHOICES. Those things which he has no choice but chooses anyway to cut (to try and make opponents pay a price) will be grounds for impeachment. It will be "it was Obama's choice to cut Social Security." "It was Obama's choice to cut military pay." Etc., etc., etcetera.

The blame will ultimately rest on him and his Democratic Slave Party.

Good news: The Agency of Lies would not be pulling this stunt if they did not fear that

the TEA PARTY LIVES.

***Update***
Ann Barnhardt published a bit more a few minutes after I did. The following excerpt reveals how much we are thinking alike on this sham.

The Obama regime is not a failure. The Obama regime is not incompetent. The Obama regime has achieved more in two and a half years than anyone could have possibly foreseen. It has debased the currency by 50% of the GDP and guaranteed that our economy will collapse. It has looted the Treasury for more than the size of a top-ten economy and embezzled that wealth into the hands of their fellow Marxists in preparation for the final collapse of the United States. It has ground the economy of the United States to a screeching halt. It has destabilized the entire Muslim world and ensured that there will be a nuclear war centered around Israel within the decade.

The Obama regime has no interest whatsoever in "stimulus" or "getting folks back to work." How can you not understand this? How can we possibly win this war if we refuse to come to terms with the fact that we are in fact fighting a war.

Welcome Back TrueblueNZ -- On Fallout from Norway

After two months absence, the blogger known as Redbaiter, has returned. Time and again I find he sees things much as I do. The biggest difference between us has been that he writes about the issues I care about so much more often, and he stays on subject and gets to the point too.

His reopening broadside, The Left — History Warns That They Will Kill Us All, demonstrates how he is one of the few who sees and is willing to call out the death cult of the Left as I've been doing for decades. The following are excerpts.

Unsurprising to see the usual leftist scum, as a result of a psychopath’s actions in Norway, calling for the same thing they always do, the silencing of opposing points of view. They need to do this at every chance, and they can’t let an opportunity like the murder of scores of their ideological soul mates be wasted....

...They must force their critics into silence.

And if people cannot be so forced, they must be eliminated. Examples- the [100] millions killed by communists last century. Killed because they could not be persuaded to believe in the same sick ideology that the left believes in....

...The man who shot the socialists in Norway was a coward. He killed unarmed defenceless people. But in his psychotic need to kill those whom he disagreed with politically he demonstrated a mental kinship with the left, not the right.

The left have always been killers. Stalin. Mao. Pol Pot....

...The left’s shreiking attempts to silence critics using the Norway killings as an argument is contemptible on two levels. One, the stark hypocrisy demonstrated by disavowing the left’s bloodthirsty history, and two, in attempting to turn the deaths of their comrades into a means of political advantage....

...Barack Obama’s mentor Bill Ayer’s strategy to kill 25 million Americans so the left can institute in the US the same old totalitarianism as they did in the Soviet Union and Cambodia and China....

...There is a lesson that history is struggling to teach us. Never allow the left ultimate power. Its an outcome that leaves the country side littered with piles of skulls, mass graves, and starved and caged citizens....

These people have no moral restraint.... Just like Anders Breivik killed in Norway, you know too today’s left would kill us all if they are ever given the power and the opportunity. You’d have to be blind to history to not know it.

As is typical of much of what I write, I took out the various examples that supports the conclusions that Redbaiter arrived at. That's because I already know how monstrous are our enemies, and I want to get directly to the threat. It needs to be repeated by many more so that our next generation of leaders are not afraid to address the threats.

To be better informed, please read the rest of RB's excellent returning essay. But to be fired up by the danger, return here to be reminded of his dire conclusions with which I sadly concur.

Welcome RB back. We need him adding to and building up the editorial foundations of the new Fourth Estate.

Sequestered Stimulus Funds, Part II

I asked at other sites, but particularly at the Belmont club, what I asked in part I of this series:

Of the trillions of dollars in stimulus funds that Obama requested, where are the billions he has sequestered and still not spent?

With [a good deal of] all that money still out there, this “crisis” sure appears to be a fraud.

Agoraphobic Plumber answered @ 27

"I understand your sentiment, but the very fact that all that money is gone should be a crisis in its own right, yes?"

The uncertainty of it all is the big danger. Nobody knows what’s going down, the stakes are huge, and Obama is in charge.

Doesn’t sound like a fraudulent crisis to me. YMMV

Egads, what a fine answer, especially for building a response to it by taking it in reverse order:

• Manufactured for political gain makes it fraudulent. 
• Obama is in charge is why nobody knows what's going down, and the stakes are huge, and  uncertainty is the big danger.
• Who says all the money is gone? The White House? And their trustworthiness is a foregone conclusion exactly why? Again with the peeing in our ears and telling us it's only raining.

Look here at this link: Despite Obama’s Repeated Claims That Enacting $787-Billion Stimulus Was Urgent, 78 Percent of Money Remained Unspent by End of Fiscal 2009 Says Federal Auditing Agency. That is the best I've been able to find so far -- November 2009 -- wherein the White House was confronted on its sequestering funds it had been earlier claiming it needed right away. All those "shovel ready jobs" that needed funding.

Now here it is 18 months later and the same honor guard is claiming we're facing yet ANOTHER crisis if it does not get what it wants, and on its terms, not anybody else's.

What form of TEA party conservatives are we that we are willing to take the word of His Honorableness that this "crisis" is not of his making because he needs crises so as not waste such opportunities? With Rahm gone, he simply follows what Rahm explained to him works, and his lacking of his own brain power makes him appear to be far less competent. The marionette is flopping around without his old buddy pulling his strings.

This is why the TEA Party members in the House of Representatives cannot buy the Boehner kabuki dance nor the McConnell giving away the conservative position even before it was yet formed. Nor can the rest of us afford to do so.

The Establishment GOP has been proven to be less than trustworthy since the days of Hillary Clinton and her staff rifling through raw FBI files. Establishment GOP leaders act like they have too much baggage that the opposition knows about. Their fear is so palpable daily that it shows in every TV appearance and in every utterance. But saying so is suddenly PC? This is sickening.

Wretchard and Roger Simon and the rest of PJM: If you at all have dreams of vanguarding our next LEGITIMATE Fourth Estate, how about putting some journalistic resources to the test and use the Freedom Of Information Act to get to the truth.  

Where are the missing and unaccounted for Stimulus funds that are yet unspent for Fiscal year 2011 and 2012? 

Like Obama has all along been sequestering those funds for vote buying and manufacturing in late 2012. Has nobody here yet learned the lessons (history and history in the making) of Mugabe and Chavez voting patterns? Goddamitall.

Wretchard: I made a joke of Van Jones words when you used them for your post title a few weeks ago, when I translated those words by borrowing from another cultural reference. "Who Stole the Cheese" seemed far more suitable. So now I say, in all earnest,  "We know who is hiding the cheese and demanding we furnish him more. Expose it."

Get that knowledge. Why is nobody making a stink about those unaccounted and unspent funds? The Democratic Slave Party sure would if the shoe was on the other foot. That is one heck of a place to make a dent in the deficit spending and maybe forestall any such crisis. You think, or isn't anybody here capable of advanced thought such as maybe this WH is as full of it regarding its financial accounting as it is about it's political posturings.

Jeesh Belmont Clubbers conservatives throughout the world: Is this question too PC for anybody else to touch? Eh, Wretchard?

$100 Billions in SEQUESTERED Stimulus Funds?

Why isn't this the number one question on everybody's lips?

How is it that everybody seems to have forgotten that Mr. Obama has not spent all of the $100 billions of stimulus funds?

I recall not long ago that this was an issue.

• Did Obama spend it? 
• Or is he waiting until just before the election to buy people's votes?

What happened to the unspent, unaccounted for stimulus funds that helped bring on this financial crisis to begin with?

Ask this question folks. Let someone tell us it is a stupid question. I'd like to see an accounting, wouldn't you?

Just damn.

When Obama Uses Monies for HIS Pet Programs, He's Toast

Look, all these plans that John Boehner keeps floating are a financial disaster for the country anyway.

Continue to hang tough conservative House members.

While the MSM Agency of Lies continues to carry the Democratic Slave Party's water, the country will  understand what you're doing is preventing a much worse catastrophe down the road.

And if Obama decides to dole out funds to his abominable programs passed over the last two years INSTEAD of to long term obligations as he is obligated to do under law and the constitution, he has stepped over the line.

Do not let the Statist elements in your own party and in business -- basically fascist forces similar to those of last century that brought on untold suffering for humanity -- to break your resolve and your promise to the vast TEA Party silent majority.

The President and the Senate cannot spend on those abominable, budget busting programs alone.

• Fundings such as for Czars and their offices not authorized or reviewed by Congress. 
• Such as the continue bleeding setting up Obamacare when there are other traditional obligations that by right of having been passed with bipartisan support (unlike Obamacare) that have to come first. 
• Force Obama to cut his extra funding to departments such as the EPA 
• for instance which is going out of its way to cut jobs by it's over-regulating as never before 
• it's simply asserting controls on CO₂ emissions despite even Obama's Slave Party Congress not being able to pass Cap and Trade in 2010.
• Let Obama to raise taxes despite his Slave Party Congress refusing to do it in 2010
• And what about to all the $100 billions of stimulus funds that Obama still has not spent?

There are a whole series of monies for Obama's extreme Leftwing programs that will piss off his extremist base when he is forced to back away from being a dictator.
Or let him try to declare up front that "I AM dictator" as some crazed Lefties think is wise (by abusing the 14th Amendment).

Come on conservatives. If Obama wishes to make extra-constitutional moves because he refuses to compromise honestly, LET HIM try.

The constitutional crisis Obama brings on is then of his own volition, nobody else is the cause.

Obstructrive, Destructive: Obama and Reid

Obama continues to say he will veto the Republican budget presented by the House, but won't offer a budget plan of his own. And the MSM  Agency of Lies declares that the House will not compromise.

Whatever happened to the assertion that "the President proposes and the Congress disposes" that we heard relentlessly during GOP administrations? Obama's lapdog Agency of Lies has forgotten all that.

Harry Reid continues to demand he won't work with the House of Representatives, but the Agency of Lies uncritically broadcasts Reid's words that the GOP is working for the TEA party and not Americans.

Reid and Pelosi and Obama ran through Trillions in NEW spending in 2009-10. Now the Agency of Lies tells us it's the GOP and TEA party that's unreasonable. The Democratic Slave Party continues to obstruct ending their unconscionable pork barrel expenditures. Slave Party expenditures that will enslave future Americans with payments for which they did not vote.

Obama the destroyer, Reid the obstructor, always abetted by the Agency of Lies.

Tell whomever will listen this story. Sorry, but no links for you today. I'm too angry to insert links. Few people bother reading them anyway.

Boehner: Shame of OH8? For WHAT?

Politicians often must go through any number of contortions to do their job.

The current Congress came into being because of the excesses of the last one.

Yet the leadership in this Congress appears to be constantly on the run rather than on the offensive as if the last public opinion poll that matters -- the elections of 2010 -- did not happen.

This morning, on Fox New Sunday, John Boehner sounded like a man possessed.

With his self-imposed deadline for releasing a deficit plan before overseas markets open just a few hours away, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said both sides were “not there yet" and pushed for a two-stage debt-limit vote.

“I would prefer to have a bipartisan approach to solve this problem,” Boehner said on Fox News Sunday. “If that's not possible, I and my Republican colleagues are prepared to do this alone. Today.”  [emphasis added] -- 'The President’s Worried About His Next Election'

But what was it he appeared to be possessed with? Shamelessness in chasing after being accepted by those he is supposed to be fighting! This following is how I see it shaping up.

There is nothing spent in the last congress that the Left will allow to be cut, and the public is daily harangued by the Agency of Lies to forget that is WHY we have the new congress.We are told it is the new Congress, and the "wet behind the ears" TEA party members who are recalcitrant. But it is Obama and the Democratic Slave Party controlled Senate that will not budge, abetted by the old line GOP SKUNCs, personified by Mitch McConnell, and recently joined by Tom Coburn.¹ It most definitely not the TEA party members who were sent to Congress to try and reverse all that the dictators did from 2009-2010.


It is surely looking like the fix has long been in with Boehner and that his long dance has only been for show. With McConnell, it was already clear that he was going to be going with (note my pun) the Gangue of Six even when he said he wasn't. What a sham!

It was the use of the word gang again. Every time something is touted by a "gang," the patriot is right to sense that there's a conspiracy to defraud afoot. Especially because the left and the media are ever so gay about it.

That gay metaphor comes from a scene that I vaguely recall from some movie. It could be La Cage Aux Faux or Victor Victoria.  Nathan Lane or Robert Preston would sniff that some straight guy appears "not to be as sophisticated as I thought." The object of desire failed to appreciate the compliment Lane had  bestowed upon him by the very proposition he rebuffed.

So it is with the Left and the Statists and the media (please forgive the redundancy, but there still is a widespread illusion that these are independent groups not all tied to the same yokes). Anyone who is not in step with them is simply not sophisticated² enough to be worth even a nod of recognition. The bigotry in the United States could never ever been this shameless before (the very number the bigots exclude makes them so monstrous) nor so widely entrenched in every aspect of our government.

So it appears to be with Mr. Boehner. We are at the brink of a major political collapse unless we in the TEA Party can make him and a few more understand the gravity. And his conduct seems utterly shameless. His chasing after approval of the influence peddlers who mislead like Pied Pipers instead of his standing firm on principles against the further destruction of our economy and of our republic. And that is if Mr. Boehner is STILL capable of feeling shame and so will fight back against this onslaught into which he is displaying every sign of caving.

And it is not that I don't understand. I truly do. Here it is. The Left and the media won't grant credit to Boehner for being sophisticated (on their terms, not his if he has a sense of that as a good gamesman should), and he's running after them:

"Oh, but I am. I am sophisticated. Really I am." cries John Boehner.
"Give me another chance! PuhlEEEEEze"

And if I were living in Ohio in Congressional District 8, I surely would feel the shame for supporting such a weak and shameless pussy all these years.

¹This is yet another instance where we are witnessing the traitorous nature of former stalwarts. Liken this to the First Triumvirs of ancient Rome (Crassus, Pompey and Caesar) who suddenly revealed themselves to be against the republic by supporting the demagogue of the oligarchs. Tom Coburn has dropped his façade. Newt Gingrich went long ago. Who is going to be next? Jim DeMint? Sarah Palin?

²There is now an omnipresent haughtiness. There is this bigotry, flaunted by the Left and Statists, against those who do not sign on to their vision, the noblesse oblige, to eradicate this republic. Patriots are simply unsophisticated.

This provides one of the perfect examples where sophistication has both its roots and its full maturity simultaneously exposed. Its roots are pure sophistry and so it should be no surprise that its disingenuousness would lead to an adulterated paradise -- like utopia was ever anything but "no place." Those who seek sophistication should not be surprised they have nothing but ash in their mouths when they arrive at their final destination.

How many have warned these fools? How many of the fools think that the results of their efforts will be different? Here is why education has been destroyed. Whom but ignorant sheeple would allow themselves to be misled to their doom? Played for suckers so that a handful of madmen could play at being gods for some miniscule years such as are 3 score and ten.

List of and Answers to Statist Lies?

Is there a reliable and constantly updated site for reviewing and providing responses to Statist Lies?

Why not?

There are individual commentaries provided daily by various institutions like Townhall.com. That is somewhat educational. But even there we have weak tea as well as SKUNC contributors.

Is there a daily list of lies as promulgated by the Agency of Lies, maybe including the number of instances that a lie is repeated and by what outlets?

And for each lie, is there a list of the sources that provide education for unraveling those lies?

What I'm looking for is a source or number of sources that provide everything from quips to deeper and better documented rejoinders to the lies of commission and omission, half truths, dissembles and disingenuous commentaries.

Defeat the Bleat, Beat the Heat

Defeat the Bleat,

Cheat the Elite,
Their deathist fete.

Tips for cooling those endangered by high heat and humidity.
Quickest and cheapest;  

• put the afflicted in a tub of cool water. Any temperature below 98.6° may not feel that relieving, but it can save a life. Intermittent showering can help too, but it's just as confining, and tiring, and wastes too much water.

Other, less confining methods.

• Apply and remove wet towels or washcloths to the afflicted, especially to the scalp. A fan that would not work under dry conditions will amplify evaporation of water so applied, and will increase the cooling effect via latent heat of evaporation (even at 99% humidity conditions) that speeds up because of the moving air.
• Apply rubbing alcohol to the body, especially the scalp -- in a well ventilated area and if you can tolerate the vapors.
• Run a fan slowly over a bowl of ice and sit downwind. The slower, the longer the air is in contact with the ice so that it can become cooler. Be prepared to get wet no matter the speed of the fan. In high humidity, as the air cools, the water it contains condenses out. Like fog.
• Rig one or more ice-cube trays by wire from above and run the fan slowly past this poor-man's heat exchanger and sit downwind. Catch the drippings with a pan below the trays.  Freeze another set of cubes while these melt. You'll need to add some mesh to the open side of the ice-cube trays to keep them in their slots until depleted. Maybe some window-screening. The more ice trays you have, the more surface area that the air comes in contact with, and the cooler it gets, and so the faster you can run the fan. Be prepared to get wetter. Have towels handy. LOL. But you will get cooler.

What prompted this?

The Salem Broadcasting flagship station in Los Angeles, KRLA, broadcasts news on the hour as provided by CBS. Somehow, when the "conservative" hosts come back on air, they never point out the lies of commission or omission, or the dissembling, or the disingenuousness, or the rank stupidity passed off as wisdom essentially on their shows. No time for them to think and include that in their programming you could say? Are our "conservative" talkshow hosts that bad they can't think on their feet. Your meant that they can't operate without a script just as a certain cretin at the highest levels can't speak without a teleprompter?

Well, yesterday really angered me.

Heard on the news was a moaning and gnashing of teeth about the first heat wave of the summer.
We're told of 116° heat index in DC.
We're told of how some doctor in Michigan said that fans are of no use in high heat and humidity.
We're told that many people will die, particularly the elderly.

Nowhere in this litany of death watching, and excuse to bring up the AGWF (anthropogenic global warning fraud), was there a single suggestion of how to avoid death from overheating.

You useless POS media Agency of Lies. HERE is what you could have included in your newscast as a public service. It would have taken another two seconds of air time!

"A doctor in Michigan said that fans are of no use in high heat and humidity -- but immersion in a tub of water can save lives."

Why not CBS news? Your TV affiliate in Los Angeles did earlier in July as part of a promotional deal to watch their show. Do you want people to die? I think more people in America are becoming wise to why you won't answer the question truthfully.

We can hear your answer, you elitist pigs.

"Well, a few deaths will help promote the AGWF. As our father, Vladimir Lenin said, 'you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.' You know the drill."

Yeah. I do. You bloody bastards.

SKUNCs Continue the Sale of Our Kids Into Slavery

Gang of 6 7. OBuma is happy. Michael Medved is humming the Republicrat song: "it's inevitable."

The imminent collision with divine intervention continues with the help of fear mongerers and GOP sellouts who continue to live up to the acronym DAMNED SKUNCs.

***Update***

About the same time I published this, Wretchard published a bit more about this along with video commentary describing the lax rule of law when it comes to Leftists delivering implied threats to the rest of us.

Needless to say, he inspired me to write more. And my most recent comment gets right to the point that we are under assault both from above and below.

A pincer movement or vise-closing is going on here.

1. From the top the sell-out of our enslavement under insurmountable debt and private sector destruction by funded regulators.
2. From the bottom by thug assaults gone uncharged or under-prosecuted.
