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.

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.
