The Historically Corrupt, Traitorous, 111th US Congress

Good God! When is the vile, despicable, 111th US Congress finally going to die? How much longer must "we the people" endure their corrupt, anti-American, Far Left globalist insanity? The 111th Congress keeps coming back from the dead like some villain in a cheesy horror flick. DIE -- and stay dead dammit!

Tengo Frío!

Hola! Yo no estoy en España! Sorry, let me try that again. Hello! I am not in Spain! Following my short article on anarchy, in which I mentioned "cyber anarchy," some computer-hacking # (or #) wiped my reader emails, and sent my readers/friends a spurious email claiming that I was stranded in Valencia, Spain, and in dire need of mucho dinero. First of all, I am not in Spain. Second, if I was, I wouldn't lose my wallet, and third, I would never hit my readers up for money using such atrocious English. For example: "I misplaced my wallet and other valuables on my way to the hotel I lodged." Puh-leeze -- give me a little credit.

Far Right Anarchy Versus Far Left “Anarchy”

“Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” --William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) You are probably familiar with the Far Left "anarchists" -- they are fond of spray painting, or otherwise promulgating their logo of an "A" within a circle. They are most visible at large gatherings of global "movers and shakers," such as the G20 meetings.

America’s SS Party

"The goal of socialism is communism." -- Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) "National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing a new world order." -- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) I think we should relabel the Democratic Party the "Insane Socialist" Party, or in a nod to political correctness, the "Semi-sane Socialist" Party (SS).

A Christmas Missive

"The kingdom of God [Heaven] is within you." -- Jesus "I danced in the morning when the world had begun. And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun. I came down from heaven and I danced on the Earth. At Bethlehem I had my birth." Sydney Carter (1915-2004) "Lord of the Dance"

Economic Suicide the Keynesian Way

"By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens...and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.... The process engages all of the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose." --John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) From "Economic Consequences of the Peace" 1920 "I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance. To put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes...." -- George Soros from "The Alchemy of Finance" 1987

The 28th Amendment, the Ruling Class, and Patrick Henry

"I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry (1736-1799) I've heard people compare the Obama Administration to Jimmy Carter's, Bubba Clinton's, and even Richard Nixon's. I was around for all of those administrations, and I'm here to tell you that such comparisons are, in a word, bull... nonsense. None of those other administrations can hold a candle to Obama's "Hype and Chains" regime.

A Quick Glance at November 2, and a Look Forward to 2012

Well, I can't say that I was shocked by the amount of idiocy shown in California -- it's to be expected really, but Nevada's re-embracing Harry Reid came as something of a surprise. Apparently they like foreclosures, double digit unemployment, and ObamaCare -- can't get enough of it; want more of it. Who knew?

Solving America’s Problems

I recently spent some time pondering how to solve some of the problems besetting America, and I thought that perhaps others might be interested in the solutions I came up with. So here they are:

The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy’s High-Water Mark?

"The great story here for anybody willing to find it, and write about it, and explain it, is this vast right-wing conspiracy...." -- Hillary Clinton -- January 27, 1998 "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) A vast right-wing conspiracy? Puh-leeze. I don't think so.

Juan Williams Fired by NPR for Heresy

"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous." Juan Williams on "The O'Reilly Factor" 10/20/10

America’s “Angel(s) of Death”

Evil is alive, evil is well. Evil is alive, evil is well. Now on your feet to the tower and yell, "Evil is alive, and well." -- Jakob Dylan -- "Evil is Alive," from "Seeing Things" "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. " -- From "The Nuremberg Code" "I consider myself a modern Progressive." -- Hillary Clinton 2007

Regressive Liberal Nazis and Cognitive Dissonance

"If you live today, you breath in nihilism ... it's the gas you breathe. If I hadn't had the Church to fight it with or to tell me the necessity of fighting it, I would be the stinkingest logical positivist you ever saw right now." (Link) -- Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) Cognitive dissonance is a term that refers to the uncomfortable feeling that comes from holding two or more conflicting viewpoints. In the process of my ongoing search to discover why liberals are so remarkably, (one could even say ostentatiously), off the beam, I've come to understand that cognitive dissonance plays a large role.

Timothy of Baghdad’s Lost Christian Empire

"In terms of the number and splendor of its churches and monasteries, its vast scholarship and dazzling spirituality, Iraq was through the late Middle Ages at least as much a cultural and spiritual heartland of Christianity as was France or Germany, or indeed Ireland." Philip Jenkins from "The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia -- and How It Died"

An Anemic “Pledge To America”

"Going to the candidates' debate. Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose. Every way you look at it, you lose." -- Paul Simon "Mrs. Robinson" While the Republican's newly unveiled "Pledge To America" is debatably better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, it's lame, anemic "platform," isn't anything to write home about. (Link)

Karl Rove: Architect of His Own Political Demise

Last night I watched Karl Rove drive the final nails into his political coffin, as he double-downed his attacks against Christine O'Donnell, on Greta Van Susteren's show "On The Record." It may be awhile before the “funeral” takes place, but the coffin is finished, no doubt.

Peace In Our Time?  I Think Not, Let’s Roll!

"I believe it is peace in our time." -- British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain (1869-1940) Spoken on September 30, 1938, after a meeting with Germany's Adolph Hitler -- war was declared between the two nations less than a year later, and WWII got underway. (Link)

The Bill of Rights Versus the US Constitution

The Anti-Federalists passionately fought for, and won, a Bill of Rights. They believed that only if these enumerated rights were staunchly and explicitly protected would the built-in tendencies toward the consolidation of national power in the Constitution be kept in check. The problem is, of course, that the usurpations of power by the Supreme Court and Congress...have either twisted or all but erased the enumerated rights. ...We have become, willingly or unwillingly, the very worst kind of Federalists feared by the Anti-Federalists: complete dependents on an increasingly despotic federal government. --Dr. Benjamin Wiker, from "10 Books Every Conservative Must Read"

LTC Lakin and the Chain of Command

"Winston Churchill said that 'the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits -- not animals.' And he said, 'There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.'" --Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

What’s So Great About Heterosexuality?

"When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became optional. I'm getting out before Obama makes it mandatory." --GySgt Harry Berres, USMC "Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common." --Dorothy Parker Parker's comment is emblematic of the snobbish sarcasm that has historically passed for humor among liberal elites. At the same time, it's blasé dismissal of heterosexuality, is profound in its implications. Ms. Parker's comment underlines two liberal talking points:

1. heterosexuality is only considered "normal," because it has been forced upon society by a patriarchal hegemony, and
2. even if it is normal, it is mainly for the entertainment of the hoi polloi, the common folk, the bourgeoisie, the déclassé rabble.
