A Passing thought

The Republican Party at It Again

 

The nomination of Mark Kirk as Senatorial Candidate of the Republican Party confirms what I have been shouting for months. The bums will again hand us a “What choice do you have?” campaign. It’s Kirk or the Dems.

Kirk is the candidate of Michael Steele and the oatmeal party. In the face of the most intense voter uprising in history, the Reps stuck to the formula which lost them the Congress and the Presidency. Kirk is Arlen Specter without the jowls. He is exactly what the TPers and the other outraged groups have risen against.

We will learn something about the staying power of the rebellion from Steele’s slap in the face. If they do not sink Kirk immediately and in no uncertain terms, I’ll take the summer off to watch paint dry. They should tell Steele; you forced him on us, now you and your national party elect him.

Run a third party candidate or leave the line blank, but react definitively. If they don’t, a lot of Dem candidates will relax, send a box of cigars to Steele, and breeze in November.

Just say BAAA.

 

THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE

ONE SIZE FITS ALL VS LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE

 

Since there have been enough people around to be called a society, the base issue has been the same. You need some rules about the interaction of individuals within the group. Then you need some method of enforcing the rules. And government was invented.

Free men view it as a necessary evil, but nonetheless an evil. Others, especially those who see themselves as enforcers, view government as the essential framework for the advancement of society. Today those conflicting views are being fought out by Tea Partiers and others with the same goals against the rest of the established political society.

For more than a century, the government types have had free rein. No political force has worked to compel a balance point. Wars have occasionally slowed the march of the command society by requiring the rulers to appeal to the self-interest of the citizen to get him to fight their battles. Then for a decade or so, the do as I sayers mute their “society over individual” mind set.

Then along came the boy Pharaoh, King Tut Tut and speeded up the march to the gulag. His drive to take over health care awoke the individualists and the fight was on. But the Tea Party people made a terrible discovery. There was no political force in place through which to channel their battle..

The Republicans were really ruling class statist wanna bes.They are just the lesser of two evils. They lack the stench of class warfare. They can’t lie worth a damn. But they are statists. They provide a very uncomfortable home for the “Leave me the hell alone” people who are the marrow of the revolution. The Republican elite know how to co-opt popular eruptions. The art of redirecting popular resentment against statism is really the only thing that keeps the Republicans alive. Without this skill, we would long since have had a two party system. The leftist(formerly Democrat) party and a true Populist party.

If the Tea Party types want their views to continue to be heard, they will use the Republicans in 2010 and replace them for 2012 and thereafter. If they unite with the Republicans permanently, they will be just a phenomenon on the way to a permanent servile state. I lived through the rise and fall of the Conservative Party in New York. We didn’t have the fire power of the Tea Party. But we were growing. We let the Republicans in and we died. VERBUM SAPIENTIS SATIS.

Last cry before the gulag or rebirth of Self Determination

THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

 

Early in 2009, groups of people sensing the demise of our form of government in actions of King Tut Tut, the Boy Pharaoh, began to react. Town Hall meeting were turned into protest meetings. Public demonstrations were scheduled and massively attended by average people to express their objection to and contempt for our new masters. The most publicized group ran multistate bus tours to focus the energy of the people who came out in droves.

 

These people who clamored “It’s my country, not yours” came to be called tea partyers and later derisively tea baggers. But there were several groups tapping into the popular revulsion to Obama and his thugs. And in that simple fact lies the hope that the Republicans have to again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

The Democrats fear a tidal wave of rejection will turn out their candidates in droves, perhaps even enough to wrest control of the House from their grasp. And then the Republicans gave us Dede Scozzofava in NT’s 23rd Congressional District. They spent $900,000 on her election. The TPers in the District rebelled and put up and independent. Dede came in third and wound up campaigning for the Dem. Our guy lost by a hair.

 

The Republicans who gave us an oatmeal man as a presidential candidate and caused our descent into anarchy will want to control who gets nominated everywhere in the country. If they have their way, we will a field a slate of candidates that would shame Arlen Specter.

 

I exaggerate, you say. There are three Senate seats already open. Illinois, Delaware and Florida. In each one, Michael Steele hand picked a RINO type candidate.

 

In at least Florida, the rebels have fielded a candidate who is likely to beat the Republican. In Virginia 5, the incumbent Dem shouldn’t be there. He beat the NRCC guy by a few hundred votes.

 

But Steele and Blackwell are trying to put another of their oatmeal men in as the candidate. If the leaders of the revolt let them get away with it, what could be a 50 seat turnover will, if we are lucky, will be a twenty seat gain.

 

The Republican Party is not the party of conservatism. They have been trying to blot out the Reagan legacy for twenty years. It would be the supreme irony if this uprising of the people let them finally bury him.

 

What unites us is more important than our differences. Run our guys and gals, on the Republican line if the Reps agree, but our guys and not oatmeal cookie candidates who would hijack the hard work of patriots.

 

There will be a money difference if we go independent. But the very source of  Rep money can be made an advantage. Corporate, special interest, lobby money versus five bucks from Joe the Plumber will tell its own story.

 

TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK FROM THE THIEVES.

OK OK HURRAH BUT NOW THE FIGHT STARTS

 

STEALING THE COUNTRY BACK AINT BEANBAG

 

Let’s face it. The left had to wake up sometime. Since the returns came in from Massachusetts on Tuesday night, Obama has been out of sight and his troops have been in three different places. First, they were going to ram the entire Obamacare mess through before Brown found the way to the mens room. Then they put on the courtesy cap and said they would suspend consideration of the matter until Brown was seated. Then Friday afternoon, Obama suddenly flew to Ohio and discovered that there was a job crisis.

Essentially he said,”Why didn’t you tell me. I’ll get right on it. You know how it is. Bush left so many things in a mess, I just forgot the economy.” Obamacare is under the bus. The boy Pharoah wants to fight out this election cycle on jobs and the economy.

It’s a big gamble. His choices after Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts are severely limited. He can dump Obamacare, essentially telling his most leftward base they have to wait until he cools the boobs,-us-, down a little. Or he can run as the answer of the dems to Reagan.

Either way, he has to drop the Messiah shtick and work as the administrator of the socialist revolution. But, the guys running the tea party operation have to remember he is still stronger now than he was when he ran for President.

Back then, he was financed by George Soros and the other, mainly foreign, anti-American, money bags. Now, he has the enormous sums he prepositioned among his very efficient election machine from TARP, Stimulus, the Budget.

Then he had only the lapdog Media split between him and Hillary. Now , he has the whole federal government and the now unified media, all shouting “Obama or die”

For the 2010 election cycle, he has the ability to tell the entire financial community, “I still have two more years to bring down what is left of capitalism , so tread softly.”

And finally, he has a substantial percentage of the populace who still believe he is the Great One, the cure for the common cold, bad breathe and acne.

Add to that, in a new shot at the Constitution, there is a bill pending in Congress for universal registration of voters. If it breathes, looks older than 14 and can press a button in the voting booth, it votes. The animal rights group is arguing that the bill is not inclusive enough.

I celebrate your wins,but forgive me if I fear for decent American citizens up against the professional criminal class, politicians.

JUST A PASSING THOUGHT

 

  GET THEM ON THE RECORD

 

 

 With the entrenched political parties and the lapdog media likely to be fighting for their lives in the 2010 elections, a thought crossed my mind. Obama has built a slush fund into the stimulus bill, the bail out bill and the budget for 2010. Acorn got several million. Brokerage houses got a bundle of dough. Banks were showered with tax money.

General Motors, AIG, Chrysler some other companies were taken over and are now owned, in whole or in part, by the government. That is, by the Boy Pharaoh and his thugs. Now federal law forbids expenditure of tax money for election campaigns. Certainly some of the income from these companies belongs to the government.

An enterprising lawyer might think of a way to seek to limit the slush. He might petition the Federal Election Commission to rule that no corporation indebted to the government because of the payments mentioned, nor any executive or officer of such corporation, may contribute anything of value to a political campaign. The ground is relatively simple. Any such expenditure is the use of money owed the feds.

The cases where Obama took over the company would be even stronger. The government, by the common understanding of mankind , has put itself in the position of trustee for the interests of the citizens of the country in the management of the company.

Since the FEC has a majority of dems, such a petition is sure to be rejected. Nonetheless the voters might be interested in headlines such as “Dems defend slush funds. Dem campaigns given free access to tax money.” I might then advertise that the FEC was Dem dominated. Perhaps even publish the names and addresses of the members of the Commission.

Some other attorney might sue for a declaratory Judgment that an entity ,beneficiary of federal largesse, may not directly, or through bonuses or excessive salaries to officers or executives, use money, otherwise available to pay off its federal debt to influence a federal election. At least the working stiffs would get the message that the thieves were still at it with their money.

Just a thought.

 

WHISTLING PAST THE GRAVEYARD

BEAT THE BUMS AT THEIR OWN GAME

  

A large number of people, including talking heads and political pundits believe that the American people will decimate the Democrat Party in the by-election this November. The actions of Obama and the Congress have been resisted and rejected by what may be a majority of the voters. Their unprecedented angry reaction to the hubris of the ruling party on health care, climate change, response to Muslim attacks and the staggering waste of money is anticipated as leading to a House cleaning by the voters.

Outraged voters should be aware that there are forces to be brought to bear to confuse. dissipate and misdirect their outrage. A hundred years of apathy is not likely to be peacefully cured in one election. Except in the socialist states, Vermont, Massachusetts, Oregon and California, every candidate, including incumbents, will run on tax relief, resolution of the war, repeal of Obamacare, downsizing government. In short, they will try to con the voters.

Obscuring voters’ accurate assessment of who is friend and who is foe are four formidable barriers.

1. The Democrat Party
2. The mainstream media
3. The Republican
4. Obama’s Chicago style politics. 

Most politicians are not suicidal, so the Dems will say that the Republicans denied them adequate health care. They will claim they are the only friend the poor and disenfranchised minority have. Smaller government is , they will say.code for no more welfare. Dems will also have a major head start. The unions will be mobilized in every Congressional district. The Dems will also have a dollar advantage. Think of all the money Obama’s stimulus poured into large corporations.

Those recipients will use that money to be sure the gravy train keeps chugging.

Were we dealing with any one other than the Dems, legal questions would abound. Will partially or wholly owned government corporations be able , through their PACs, to contribute to Dem candidates. Will Acorn, convicted or under indictment in at least 17 states for various voter frauds, be judicially restrained from tampering with results all across the nation.

Then we have the most potent Dem weapon, character assassination. Most of the real populist candidates will be ill-equipped to deal with baseless charges. Unless they just emerged from a monastery or nunnery, they will be assailed for minor adolescent acts. They also will be hit with irrelevancies, which the media will magnify. He supported Sarah Palin. She is pro-life. They have no experience, etc.

The media, the true villains in the saga of foisting an ill prepared candidate with both questionable credentials and a drive to destroy the nation upon the electorate, will be in there slugging. For the sake of their own tarnished reputations, they will defend the targets of the voters’ wrath. Replacement candidates will be buried and smeared. The bums who did this to us will be explained and praised. Their bias will be worth millions of dollars in free publicity.

 The Republican Party, which for two decades has been running away from its conservative roots, will run its melange of oatmeal candidates and attack the voting stiffs who want better than “me too “ as divisive cranks. They will adopt the Pelosi approach to smear the voter revolt.

They have already shown their tactic in three states . The RNC has all but endorsed Senatorial candidates in three states-Delaware, Florida and Illinois –all of whom will be more comfortable caucusing with Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter than protecting the nations or its citizens.

 The final hurdle, perhaps the highest, is the cadre of Obama Chicago style thugs. Acorn units have been under indictment in at least 17 states for registration and voter fraud.

They recently received several million dollars in taxpayer money in Obama’s 2010 federal budget. The black panthers who recently got off because of Eric Holder’s malfeasance. They had been charged and convicted of voter intimidation. Several labor unions, principally SEIU are ready to do their number on voters as they did to tea party people.

Granting all this, the bums will still take a beating in 2010. We have to remember just a few rules.

Don’t give money to the RNC. Contribute only to the candidate you support.

Be sure you are registered to vote. This ain’t bean bag and a lot of people got hosed so we could have the pornographic comedian Franken from Minnesota in the Senate.

Start now to protect the absentee votes of the military in your state. In Dem states they will try to delay sending out the ballots so they are too late to be counted They did it in 2008 when we were not aware of their resolve to win at all costs.

Keep up the pressure. Write. Demonstrate. Let as many of the enemy as possible know that if they get out of line, we will pressure for indictments.

Above all, STAY TOGETHER. DON’T LET OBAMA OR MICHAEL STEELE OR THE LAPDOG MEDIA BREAK US UP. WE DO NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING BUT WHAT UNITES US IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR DISAGREEMENTS.

A PASSING THOUGHT

 THE PATH TO PEONAGE.

 Yesterday I paid thirty bucks for ten gallons of gas. As I drove away, I thought that inflation had begun to hit us pretty hard. Then another idea hit me. It isn’t inflation if the cause of the price rise is the scarcity of the item. If you consider the list of things that are becoming scarce because the government did something to make them scarce, the thought occurs. Maybe it isn’t inflation. Maybe the government is teaching us a new life style. Perhaps we are being taught on the installment plan.

In the name of the Green Revolution, a surprising list of goods are becoming less available and more expensive. The Great One promised to bankrupt the coal industry . The price of electricity goes up. The Great One decrees that there shall be no more domestic or offshore oil production. The price of gasoline climbs and OPEC breathes a sigh of relief and pockets increased revenue.

San Juaquin valley is the most fertile and agricultural productive area in the world. The minions of the Great One shut off to the valley to protect an inch long fish and the price of agricultural products rises. As a side benefit, a few hundred thousand people lose their jobs or their farms. But the principal losers are consumers. The price of available agricultural products no longer produced in the Valley goes up.

The government declares carbon dioxide a pollutant and the cost of production of hundreds of businesses goes up. The prices of thousands of products, of course, goes up with them. The Great One is in the midst of forcing down our throats a universal health care system. Aside from all the other disputes of the effect of such a radical change in our form of government, included is a provision to impose a massive tax on middle class to maintain an insurance plan of their own choosing.

When you add up all these changes, the net effect is to destroy the middle class. It makes you wonder if such a result is an accident or an intentional program.

The Ultimate Aim of the Boxer Bomber…

 

… and the Ultimate Blindness of the West

 

Lately, Americans are having problems with Muslims. The one in the White House is trying to take over-well, the country and the ones around the world are trying to –well, take over the country. What is increasingly disturbing to watch and listen to in both the MSM and the talk radio orbit is the lack of a reality check. We are at war. Or are we in the midst of an unusual and deadly crime wave perpetrated by a group of depressed isolated travelers from around the world who just happen to espouse a life view that believes in killing anyone who does not believe in the same life view?

The politically correct and the people who think they are speaking out have begun to both amuse and terrify me.

Personally I believe the Constitution—as long as you do not impinge on my right to believe as I wish—i.e. Set a religion as the state religion and force me to abide by it and be bound by its laws, rules and regulations and beliefs, you my friend, can believe in Buddha, oak trees, or little green men. When you start telling me how to think, how to believe, and whether I get to live or die, then we start to have massive problems.

I was surfing around looking for a topic to write about that would satisfy my general feelings of anger and outrage. The news cycle over the holidays was typically, annoyingly replete with singing dogs, toddlers and Santas and the ever-present retail sales figures. There much repetitive coverage of the undie bomber and his “criminal” attack on the US, foiled by a Dutchman no less. For the love of Pete, was there a red-blooded American male on board or were they all too busy being concerned for the panty bomber’s human rights to be concerned for their own and their fellow humans’ right to live through a flight?

To be fair, in this age of Alan Alda clones I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of men who have managed to escape from the uberfeminists clutches and be real men. The whole show around this attack has just made me realize that my country is traveling down the road to Sharia law.

The surfing took me to a site that was British and very angry about a planned march through a town that is known for honoring the fallen heroes of Britain. These Muslims are planning a march in this town to protest the Muslim dead from the Iraq and Afghan war. Britain is pretty far down the road to Muslim control—even so far as allowing Sharia courts to substitute for their own courts and Muslim law to replace English common law. Revealed: UK’s first official sharia courts – Times Online

Now following the logical course I went to the marching groups website. Entertaining as it might have been in August 2001, I was appalled to see how far the Muslims have gone. They had plans and pictures for what Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and even Nelson’s Monument in Trafalgar Square would look like with Britain under the Muslims. A very illuminating site. Islam 4 UK Home page

I am going to insert my personal disclaimer here—frankly I am very fond of England and the English, I do not wish to see them Muslim against their wills but if they don’t stand up and ( as one comment posted on a site stated) “throw these nutters out” then they get exactly what they deserve.

What does concern me is that we seem to be traveling down the same path—there are now in this country-no-go areas for the police—these are areas run by and for Muslims and the police do not intrude in these areas. Who exactly do they think they are? This is America and we are a nation of laws—our laws. You cannot come here import a foreign legal system and replace the law of the land with it.

And what in the hell is wrong with the police and the cities where this is occurring? If it was the Soviets or the Nazi’s or the French doing it they would stop it in a minute. But has the entire US become unwilling to stand up and if necessary fight in their own streets to keep OUR country and OUR values and OUR laws. To quote Ben Franklin–Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We are now talking about strip searches and full body scans—has the whole world lost it’s collective minds? I have seen my 83 yr old father forced to take off his shoes to get on a flight—how many 83 yr old American men flew into the World Trade Center? My aunt has been searched every single time she flies—she has been a Dominican nun nursing incurable cancer patients for 56 years– how many nuns have strapped bombs onto themselves and blown up soccer fields, I have been searched –how many middle aged American women have put on boxer bombs and attempted to blow an airplane out of the sky? And each time I was searched, young Middle Eastern men walked through without slowing down. I felt so much safer!

This is not a religion, this is a foreign government seizing our country under the guise of religion. They use our laws against us and until we are willing to stand up and say NO MORE we will surely go the way of England.

RSCC FATAL TO THE NAIVE

DEMOCRAT LITE WONT CUT IT 

 

The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee has recently endorsed Party Chairman Mike Steele’s philosophy of candidate selection. Do away with primaries and let the party of surrender preendorse the least offensive big government moderate. That plan of action was recently triumphant in their selection of Dede Scozzofava as the Republican candidate in the NY 23rd Congressional District. She ultimately withdrew, endorsed the
Democrat candidate and finally campaigned for him.

RSCC boss Senator Cornyn of Texas has caught the disease and it could be fatal. He has all but preendorsed candidates for three open Senate seat in 2010.In Delaware, the RSCC is pumping the at large Congressman, a Republican who sometimes votes that way. In Florida, he picked a big government governor who is already behind in the polls to a guy who is running on the working stiff platform of less government and more freedom. In Illinois, they are flacking a guy named Kirk whose record is occasionally right of center. There is a rumor he was suggested to the Republicans by the Daley people. You know, the ones who brought you Obama.

Oddly enough, Steele and Cornyn are doing the right thing for their party. If they allow primaries the ultimate candid ates will not be go along to get along types. The Steeles of the party will be retired in favor of someone who will carry the fight for survival of the country to the lefties. In the meantime don’t give your money to the RNC. It is already being used to promote the type of candidates we are trying to get rid of. Give to the RNC and get in return Arlen Specter and Lindsay Graham.

Give your money carefully. This election cycle everybody will be campaigning as a conservative, even Republicans. Give to someone you trust to walk the walk. Your contributions will be cheaper than the taxes the other guys will inflict.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE

60 AGAINST THE NATION

 

Since early in the year, we have been caught up in the struggle by Congress to erase our history and change the nation into a European style socialist state. At first, most of us lesser beings believed that the fight was about differing views of how to improve the health delivery system in the United States and that the Congress would huff and puff and ultimately deliver another bureaucratic nightmare which we could get corrected over time at the ballot box.

It soon became clear that there was much more at stake than health and with that awareness, we lesser beings began to turn on the issue until about three quarters of the voters opposed the attempt to change the system in any of its nine or ten incarnations. In unprecedented numbers ,voters became active. A political movement began. Town meetings became hostile encounters between our masters and the energized constituents.

Based partly on the profligate spending of the Boy Pharaoh, partly on his making large areas of our economy into government operations and partly on his barely concealed contempt for the United States, Obamacare became the flagship in the battle to convert the nation from a representative republic into a socialist state. After a prolonged battle in the House, replete with bribery,coercion and media assisted character assassination, something passed the House by the overwhelming margin of 220 to 215.Almost no one had read the thing. It did not matter. The thing got to the Senate. It was called Health Care Reform. The Senate now had the ball and the freedom to complete the transformation. And the saga of the 60 began.

If we had been shocked and disgusted by what the Pelosis, Hoyers , Franks and Rangels did to get their 220 votes, it was kindergarten to the university course in dirty politics delivered by Harry Reid, Max Baucus et al in getting to the minimum of sixty votes needed to get the monstrosity through the Senate. One Senator got 300 million in tax money for her state and boasted about it. Another got eternal exemption for his state from certain Medicare taxes worth billions over time. And those were only the public bribes. And this was only Democrats fighting among themselves over the goodies while they pretended to fix an allegedly fatally flawed health care system. Republicans for once had relatively clean hands.

A picture taken during one of the Boy Pharaoh’s interventions in the issue tells more than a thousand bribes. To his left was Christopher Dodd, a pal of Tony’s, under investigation for selling his office for shady financial gains. To BP’s right was Max Baucus, who had recently been caught placing his mistress in a $150,000 annual job for which her qualifications were vouched for by the Senator. To be fair to Baucus, the job was not open to competitive bidding.

To those of us a little shocked by the blatant corruption acknowledged by the participants in maneuvering this trash bill through the Senate by such trash, we were reassured that this was the regular order of business in the Congress and only the popular concern over the issue made it public. We now know beyond the shadow of doubt who those sixty are, fighting over the scraps of an 11 trillion disaster- a disaster to be visited on us, the taxpayers. They are indistinguishable from UN representatives, whose formal wear is a breach clout and a turban.

But what does it say about us, who sent this pack to Washington to bilk us. In the coming year these animals will take a shower, run for office, and most of them will be reelected. Whom will we blame? The Republicans, the tea party people, Bush? Look in the mirror, pal. The villain in this disgrace is us. We have the memory of an amoeba and the will power of a rock. If we can’t hold onto the memory of this mess for ten months- and they are relying on it- the question will be answered. Who are these people? They are us. See you in the gulag.
