Layers upon Layers

All we can try to do here is to widen the dissemination of information that your nightly news and daily rags fail to give you. A teeny bit at a time, there is soooooo much.

Here, though, is an interesting tidbit.

According to the American Spectator's "PROWLER" the bureaucratic skulduggery is an equal opportunity deal within the Beltway Labyrinth, even into Kat Sibelieus' Health and Human Services domain.

Just last weekend, HHS number crunchers came up with the startling "news" that private-policy health insured will pay many thousands more for their protection under Obamacare.

This was often "mentioned" by opponents of the legislation, and dismissed as "scare-mongering" by the President, Speaker Pelosi, Senator Reid and others.

Now, post-passage, the HHS and Sibelius joined the "Scare-Mongerers".

But wait....An undercover mole whistleblowing inside the sprawling entrails of HHS tells The Spectator that the accountants made this report three weeks before the legislation passed. (http://tinyurl.com/29ays86).

Check it out. This and manymore revelations will be forthcoming after you boot these opaque bumblers from Congress.

Even with their lapdog media suckups, the Left minions hide facts and try to obfuscate when truth is revealed.

Small California idiot ideologe Henry Waxman is still wiping egg and manure from his face and hair after stomping his little footsies in a hissy-fit when U.S. corporations started filing expectations of up to $2 billion in losses due to Obamacare implementation.

Waxman, nor any other Democrat has pointed out that the company conptrollers were simply obeying the federal (SEC) Sarbanes-Moxley Law, which Waxman shrilly supported when it was enacted.

Alphabet metworks, the AssPress and daily newspapers (which lost another nine per cent of circulation in the last three months) will not supply this sort of information.

When the "Stars" Align...It's Fun !

Without even being "pressed", there are two things we will admit we are absolutely obsessed about:

(1) People who spout off about history when they do not know what they are talking about.

(2) The "Old" dinosaur media slickers who include a pinko, left wing bleeding heart poison pill in every "news" presentation and it morphs into gaffe.

When there occurs a nexus between these breathtaking events, there are all kinds of explosions. Eyes become virtual eggs (though ours are disabled); a huge burst of guffaws emerges from the belly, and the heart bursts with "Gotcha" Gratitude to the Deity of Justice.

On Tuesday, perusing one of our favorite Internet Blog sites, Publius Forum, (http://tinyurl.com/y3jl5nn) we came across a story about the great old newspaper, The Boston Herald, pulling a boner that amounted to actually, soiling its own nest.

They were re-enacting the Battle of Lexington, where the militia, armed with guns largely held together with baling wire, defeated British "Red Coat" regulars, with "the shot heard 'round the world".

Except it wasn't.

That shot, was fired in the Battle of Concord, where Ralph Waldo Emerson later lived and wrote those words for a memorial re-enactment of THAT battle.

Only way it could have been more delicious is if it had been the NYSlimes-owned paper, the Globe, that fouled the neighborhood.

Even more terrible was the Uh-Oh by Cokie Roberts, well known left liberal interviwer, and daughter of two extremely powerful and savvy Democrat Congresscritters, Hale Bogga andhis widow, Lindy Boggs . Cokie is also the wife of a very bright news correpondent, Steve Roberts who was with her....

When she likened the internment of Japanese in California prison camps following the Pearl Harbor attack December 7, 1941 to the worst of immigrant treatment horrors.

But the TRUTH IS, y' see, all those internees were United States citizens...Nisei, as they called themselves. Many of them fought for the USA in Europe. We know this because we were 16 then and glued to the Philco.

One wishes to have been there at Concord, too. Or Breed's Hill. Or, yes !even better, Yorktown !

Ignorance is so sad in all our elitist "betterrs". It's a shame to giggle.

Bubba & the Brain-Dead

On the day Pew, the most respected, unbiased and traditionally accurate public opinion survey of the American people reports that 80 percent of us distrust our government completely,( http://tinyurl.com/yyalpbq) ex-president Bill Clinton says dissent is "as threatening as the OKC bombing.

And a national newsmagazine with plummeting circulation and very few pages (TIME) calls Sara Palin and Tea Partiers "seditious".

The feeling here is that both Bubba and the rag are, at worst, dissembling and venal and at best, irrelevant.

The word "sedition" in the OED, is defined as more "separate" or "severed-from", and if 80% of Americans are disaffected from
"the Gubmint", then they just do not share in the Beltway Conventional Wisdom.

Since there has been a book published, "The Third Terrorist", by an NBC investigative reporter that documents the presence of one Hussein abd Hussaini, one of Saddam's Republican Guards embedded in America, in the Ryder truck with Timothy McVeigh, I cannot understand Clinton's eagerness to bring THAT up.

It may be that these clueless left-wing ideologues read nothing but the NY Times and WaPo and are so uninformed they do not understand that the Tea Party folks ARE AMERICA.

They have certainly forgotten that their demigod Thomas Jefferson campaigned on a platform that claimed "The Tree of Liberty must be frequently fertilized with the blood of free patriots..."

Irrelevance can become a self-indulgence...a soft futon, say.

But when lying malice morphs into blind idee-fixe accompanied by echolalia, aren't the men in white coats in order ?

Idiot Waxman Takes Cover...

This is just a "GOTCHA" update on doctrinaire collectivist California congressman Henry Waxman's "Petard".

He is hoist on it.

Remember when this blog brought news that he set up a "show trial" hearing For April 24 at which je was going to pummel and punish executives who predicted billions in dollar losses prompting maybe critical job loss from passage of Obamacare?

Well the DC Examiner reports that the cross-examination of the CEO collection is off the schedule (http://tinyurl.com/y6qza6c) !!

The Spirit of Cato and I have mixed feelings about this. First thought is "good enuff FOR the knee-jerk leftwinger caught with his mouth open..."

Second thought: We'd like to have heard the people at AT&T, Verizon, Catepillar, John Deere and many, many other EMPLOYERS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS explain how the new Obamacare will cost theemployers of millions of workers a total of billions in new expenses and more threatened payroll shrinkage.

Why should the socialist dummies be spared some cold water reality until next November ???

It is really pathetic how the Left repeatedly cranks up mouth and voice while brain is dormant and disengaged.

Waxman is just the prime example by which none of the rest EVER learn.

White House Wants Accounting Fraud ?

Maybe I just do not understand the introduction of George Orwell's "Newspeak" to the politico-economic discourse in Obama's America.

Recently, this corner of the web pointed out that Rep. Henry Waxman was threatening and extorting several large U.S. companies because they were complying with Security and Exchange Commission rules by "warning"of accounting "writedowns": they were initiating in expectation of "hits" from Obamacare.

These anticipated liabilities for AT&T, Cattepillar, Deere, and others were in the $1.5 billion range. Since then others have announced similar action, among them, Verizon, with nearly a nother $1 billion projected debit.

Now, Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke has attacked the corporations.

For obeyinmg the securities law. http://tinyurl.com/ycf8mgd.

Now we are back where we began this whole economic slide. Remember Enron Corporation ? The sort of shabby "hide-the-pea-under-another- shell" accounting that Enron treateded as de rigieur is what Locke and the administration seems to be calling for.

Is this the rule for accounting practices now in government ? Woulkd the General Accountability Office or the Congressional Budget Office do this as a regular thing ?

Are we going to have a Waxman-and-Locke push for "hide the truth or else"???!!!

Just asking.....

Heads-Up...OR, BOHICA....Whatever....

It is hilarious that the new unemploymet figures will NOT be released on Aril 1 (April Fools Day) but on Friday, April 2.

This may have something to do with the fact that they predicted a "pickup" of 50,000 new jobs in March.

Preliminary reports Wednesday, March 31, indicated a LOSS of at least 23,000.

I cannot help but believe some of these layoffs accompanied the large-scale employers' finding it necessary to write down losses to be incurred under Obamacare, in fulfilling benefits promises to employees...past and present.

Boeing ($150 million) joined AT&T ($1 billion), Deere Inc.,($150 million) Cattepillar, and several other large employers in declaring large cororate exense expectations (writedowns) causded by compliance with Obamacare mandates.

All of these businesses would not be faithful to investors (mutuals and middle class 401Ks) unless they considered winnowing the work force expenditure, where possible.

Therefore, all Americans should attend the employment figures every month and ask the honest reporters at the Wall Streeet Journal, Forbes and Bloomberg:

What is CAUSUING THIS ?

Especially when "factory orders" are reported increasing, and trade attitudes relaxing.

Maybe Congressman Henry Waxman will find out at his punitive "hearings". But I would not bet the farm. I wager he will "blink". He does not WANT to know the truth.

Incidentally...Has anyone GOT a "farm" any more ???!!!

Pay Attention..It's Not Just Tea Party Howls !

Many of us tried to warn. Who listened?

Over Saturday and Sunday, several major employers in the United States announced that as a result of punishment and expense in the Obamacare legislatin, they would be forced to write down a total of one and a half billion dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) in order to comply with Security and Exchange Commission Rules.

And, immediately, that stellar left-coast congressman Henry Waxman (just a tad pinker than Castro) annouced punitive "show trials" for the offenders.

The companies faced with dire economic consequences that the CBO, (Congressional Budget Office) failed to address in its "analysis" are: AT&T, Catepillar, Deere, 3-M, Valero Energy, and AK Steel.

Verizon was reportedly preparinmg its "writedown" announcement and will join the other employers at the guillotine-cum-inquisition.

Waxman, who has probably never sweated at manual labor in his life, is just trying to threaten, throttle and blackmail wealth-producers who heretofore provided helth care and prescriptin drug aid for a million hard working, producing families.

You will not read about this unless you subscribe to the Journal, Bloomberg wire service or Forbes magazine. The AssPress will pass.

Until, that is, the socialist demagopgues begin trying to cast the business accountants as "racist" and "anti-immigrant" and "obstructionists".

Like the Tea Party coalition.

So, these producers of wealth who provide paychecks and security for as many families as the present socialist dominated economy will alow...They will be painted as villians by leftwing harangue because they are attempting to protect the investments---and JOBS---of middlel class Americans.

The CBO kinda "hid" from the entire economic cost to the nation.

So Congress will stand the messenger against the wall...and FIRE !

Bias of The Hive--The Left's Propellant

In answer to my missive containing H.L. Mencken's 1935 warning that legislators had at that jucture evolved into pawns of pressure groups and no longer listened to constituents, my best friend west of the Rockies said:

"It is just Human Nature..."

<<<++++++>>

Waaaal... Yassss, Ol' Buddy---if you mean the nature of the bribed or otherwise subsumed reportorial and post-modern "journalists"...which include not one H.L. Mencken.

HE was that way as a cub reporter on the Baltimore Sun.

So was I, and Roy Howard and Merriman Smith. And David Brinkley. And Leo Soroka. And Inez Robb. And Howard Handleman...I could go on. But they ALL worked prior to the death of JFK..."When Camelot and innocence died..." according to the collectivist "Hive" who do not even admit that Castro had him killed...

I am not very temperate in this. I worked at a wirte service when David did and when Smith reigned. Also Joe Davis from Valdosta and Lee Fuhrman and Sam Cox in Atlanta.

There are no journalists any more.

The only people I can trust are disenchanted former democrat speech writers like Dr. Charles Krauthammer and Dr. George Will and two giants of academe , Dr. Walter Williams and Dr. Thomas Sowell.

They ALL are like Arthur Koestler, Nabokov and Solzhenitsyn....survivors of the crucible of Baal.

When Brit Hume quit, that was the last reporter not warped, twisted.. gone. Welcome to showboz as news

Only the bloggers like Andy Breitbart and Ed Morrissey, and a few others (Debbie Schussel and Kimberly Strassel come to mind) are believeable. James Taranto, maybe, does some digging and zots a few liars for the Wall Street Journal (which, incidentally now has passed ALL dailies in circulation---and probably ad lineage).

Politoco's marionettes are in the tank. Mort Kondrake has descended into biased mock reporting.

Susan Estritch and Camille Paglia (neither a "reporter") are distaff Demonsthenes compared to most of the drugged scarlet-lettered MSM types.

Now...Human Nature has NEVER been too great. There is always a lag...Like..two years later..."Oooops!" WhahdideyeDO???!

Take Simon Peter the Fisherman frinstance...: "Me? Hell No! I never saw that feller befo in mah LIFE !!!"

Lordy no. I lost my illusions about Human Nature when I read the greatest book ever written by ANY American (and maybe by anyone except Cervantes)...Huckleberry Finn....I was ten or eleven and I had humans pegged from then on. I was never very sure about myself or my kinfolks after reading Huckleberry Finn. Now at 85, after one rebirth in Spirit and another in Policy, and after reading it (Twain's masterpiece) three or four more times and Don Quixote twice (one last year) I am positively convinced.

We mortal humans swing like spirit-pendulums, between the Heavens and excremental Nadir.

And we do not spend a lot of time midway.No "status" or "stasis", see ?!

Check with the kid on the raft and the old geezer wearing a dungpot for a hat.

Ignorance and a Mural

Come with us into the heart and soul of a daily newspaper in 2010, as journalism slips into the randpm mire--the "city room" where 10% of the staff has just been cut.

Our investigator has a slick new print of Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph of seven U.S. Marines raising the Stars and Stripes on Suribachi, the volcanic ash mountain on Iwo Jima.

This was the act that signaled to the world that Japan's World War II effort was in vain.

No image from that war caught so much attention, and no image in that war is better known throughout the world. It is on a U.S. postage stamp.

It used to appear regularly in textbooks. Entire photojotnalism COURSES have been "built " on it.

Now the "journalists" are asked to identify what is happening and where it happened.

Andrew Breitbart carried the story and photographs on his news website Tuesday night: http://tinyurl.com/yz2z6xu.

One of the modern neshawks properly says: "It';s World War Two I think..."

"Oh, yes" another intones, "It;s D-Day in France somewhere..."

Follow the link to the story.

The whole discussion led our intrepid investigator to a student painted mural splashed on a wall adjacent to a high school that mimicked the Rosenthal photograph.

But instead of Old Glory, the vaguely uniformed central characters in the image are rasing a...what IS it ??? Oh, Now I see...

It is a brand spanking new WINDMILL !

Like the ones Teddy Kennedy would NOT allow them to "plant" at a "wind farm" near The Kennedy Compound at Cape Cod.

The kind of windmill that NOAA uses on the weather web site to indicate windy forecasts.

Al Gore's prescription to cure America's dependence on petroleum.

Welcome to the wussification of American Grandeur, the culmination of third rate education in nexus with lazy political correctness.

Honest tears are appropriate.

Schadenfreude ? Or Gotterdammerung ?

Whirling around in this ancient brain-pan is a huge question that readers of this corner might want to ponder also.

IF...Obamacare passees and gets signed into law and the Dow and NASDAQ tank back to 5,000 and 500 respectively, what will the reaction of the clueless megalomaniacs be ?

Schadenfreude ? Or, Gotterdammerung ?

Will the conspirers and liars dance jigs and do intricate gavottes over the prostrate Wall Street entrepreneurs and lowly 401K holders ?

Or will they shrug their collective arrogant shoulders with hollow chortles and sink ,or SLINK, (more slowly) into the Autumn ooze of Western civilization ".

I can hear Robinson Jeffers singing his litany to the Big Sur cypress survivors in the subtle hypocrisy of a Pacific Dawn:

"...Be in nothing so moderate as in thy love of "man", clever servant and insufferable Master.... THERE is the trap that catches noblest Spirits !That caught, and killled, they say, God when He walked the earth...."

Scary and Deplorable

If I may, with humility, allow me to just parse this for you. It took me 36 hours to cool off after the first shock.

The AssPress carried a story Saturday out of Teheran, Iran allegedly written by someone whose name translates into "Allah is Great" in English averring that the USA "official VERSION" of Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center is "a fabrication and a lie".

VERSION ?

That, notwithstanding the fact that CNN showed the second plane hitting the second tower for millions (billions ?) of world TV watchers.

The authority for that statement, quoted by the AssPress, which emphasized the words "U.S. official version" was of course, Moomoo Imadinnerjacket, the lunatic Persian president.

Then on Sunday, another International News Media Giant, Al Jazeera, in reporting that Iraq citizens dismissed Baathist terrorist bombings that killed 38 to vote freely and innumerably are now "CONDEMNED to Democracy...."

(My capitals for emphasis added in both cases.)

Here we can isolate the situation that obtains on our little blue marble of a planet.

Two tyrannical news-gathering organizations are spewing toxic nonsense and spurning a responsible analytical report to kiss political arse.

And, no matter whether you live in Doha,Qatar or Denver / Kansas City, it's deplorable...and scary.

Hall Of Famer Agonistes

Any normal person with a bank account or a piggy bank would have shared my reaction.

Here was a contemporary of mine, a fellow I had admired since he was 23 and I was 30, and whom I still admire, being trashed by the left wing media as an obstructionist in the U.S. Senate.

All Jim Bumming was doing was what William F. Buckley Jr. used to exhort ALL of us to do: "Stand athwart History’s intended path and say "STOP".

Bunning, who starred in both major leagues as a right handed pitcher for the Tigers, Phillies and Dodgers, was blocking the body's consideration of a $50 billion spending bill.

Even though it was a dribble in the ocean of deficit debt this congress and administration is piling on our descendants, and even though it extended a portion of unemployment benefits, Bunning was more like Jimmy Stewart in Mister Smith Goes to Washington that he was like, say a Malaprop-clueless Barbara Boxer.

Yet many of his Republican senatorial colleagues and ALL the liberal mainstream media characterized him as a comic figure.

Shuddering at the approaching chimera of a half-Trillion dollar Obamacare frosting on the fallen cake of ne’er-do-well governance , it is difficult for this observer to criticize the strike-thrower from Kentucy.

Bunning is retiring. He will soon be 80. But even though he is the one senator to take the opportunity to say "WAKE UP ! ENOUGH IS TOO MUCH", and even though 30 Republicans approved the $50 billion "pittance" in deficit spending, I still find it bizarre that one editorial writer in southern California and this post are the only applause I have found for Senator Bunning.

The Hall of Famer fared better on the mound. I remember him winning 19 games three years in a row for the Phillies.

But he made some deficit deniers nervous. I wish him well; I wish, too, that he had managed a filibuster collapse (just mildly) like Jimmy Stewart.

Would that have shaken the doctrinaire left liberal media out of their profligate trance?

Maybe not...but as Carl Sandburg famously said: "The People, YES !!!"

Will His Addiction Affect History ?

This is not the first time that it has been posted here that The UK Telegraph is the best newspaper in the English language.

Late Sunday, the crack journalists there reported that U.S. Navy physicians who gave President Obama his first physical exam since his inauguration asked him to stop smoking and put the brakes on alcohol consumption.

You will NOT rtead this on your front page...OR see it on the alphabet TV news rants.


So here's a Link http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/01/barack-obama-told-to-quit-smoking.

May not be important,of course. Time, Newsweek and People will not carry it or will bury it. TMZ might get a word in.

We've had a lot of advice from the top two in the White House about our "intake". That pair should practice what they preach.

But, then, they have a heavy burden. They're in an unfamiliar environment where folks expect some modicum of similarity with what one says and what one does.

Charley Rangel, William Jefferson and all the bankers are watching.

Fiscal Integrity's Voice : Ryan

The well-informed media in the UK know him better than the people in the United States: Congressman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Prevublican from Janesville.

They judged him ninth (9th) in importance among United States conservative "Leaders". They do this better than any of the lefty American journalists, being removed and objective.

He is certainly a magnificent thinker and elucidator.

As a member of the Wayd and Means committee in the Housem from which ALL spending originates, and as the premier budget expert who can silence Barney Frank and seize the spotlight from President Obama, Ryan stole the "show" at Blair House Thursday and stunned the "room" as well as some very feet-in-cement pundits.

Here's a sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPxMZ1WdINs.

Ryan has repeatedly said he is not a 2012 candidate for president. At 30, he has six terma in the House under his belt and just relishes his preoccupation with the federal budget and its crushing effect on this and future generations. He is a serious deficit fighter with answers: To entielements, even, to security expenditures, to healthcare's balooning costs.

Not an Ivory Tower type nor an Ivy Leaguer, he was educated in Janesville and at Ohio's Miami Unversity. In the Heartland.

We will do well to draw him to further nationwide attention. He has no ulterior motives. He just loves the United States and its children. He has three young ones.

And, thank Eternity, he is obsessed with trimming those numbers the Congressional Budget Office keeps throwing around and AT us. He can catch even the CBO in a mistake.

Listen to him and make up your own mind.

And watch Obama's face.

Nothing's Broken....They're Just Senseless

Frothing his spittle as usual, Massachusetts Democrat congressman Barney Fwank petulantly whined to a pet reporter a few days ago that:

“Washington is “bwoken” !

It would be waspishly witty to fake misunderstanding and murmur “Yasss, We ARE BROKE !”

But it’s not a giggle. Here we have the maestro of the Muddle...the moneystrings of the Nation who legislated free home construction for millions of unqualified home loan applicants while he sashayed into the sunset with his employee-boytoy, whining because his dreams are crumbling or melting around him.

It’s the same, old, left wing, liberal-“progressive” whimper.

When the “Contract for America” wiped out his Democratic majority in 1994, Bill Clinton and his wife moaned that “the system is broken !”

Yet, master politician that he was, Clinton snatched victory from the furnace of defeat, negotiating “welfare reform”, his premiere legacy and the only signal retreat from entitlement spending in history.

There were, THEN, responsible lawmakers who believed in the process--the give-and-take "sausage factory"---the journey, if you will !

But these doctrinaire Marxist socialist types of 2010 are a different breed. They take their marching orders from the profane Rahm-it-Thru Emanuel, the president’s chief of staff, and, as epitomized by Widdle Fwankie, when they are stymied or stalled, they squat on the pity pot and cry foul-havoc.

Even the president fell prey to the litany.

And all of this gnashing of teeth and tantrum-teetering is caused by one special election that returned “The Kennedy” senatorial seat to the people of Massachusetts when Scott Brown was elected there.

You only hear the cry “Washington (The System) is Broken” when popular opinion overtakes and obliterates conniving and conspiracy and the “earmarks”, pet projects and swollen udders of taxpayers milk are threatened with shrinkage and the extraction of the teats.

So, when you hear some U.S. legislator, pundit, talking head or professor yawping about “Washington” or “the System” being broken...

You can be sure that YOU will soon not be as “broke” as you have been, that the tax cutters and budget shrinkers are taking power from the irresponsible and ignorant.

But it IS up to you to keep the shrill rising, to its final silence. At the ballot box-cum-polling place near you.

America's Stubborn Enemy Slinks...

BULLETIN!!! This just in. Army CID finally admitted it had "been investigating for THREE months" allegations that Muslim "Arabic translators" conspired to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson, SC.
(Why the BIG RUSH TO JUDGMENT, Fellas ??!!)

America’s sickness is not racism or profligacy on the part of its main / majority population. The malady that threatens to melt the bulwarks of constitutional foundations is not necessarily despotism or corruption in high places.

All these things are corrosive.

But the unnecessary and unpurchased guilt and / or misplaced generosity of the American electorate sculpted into the behemoth of Political Correctness is the muriatic acid that gnaws away at the very truth of our history and our present existence in the name of “Fuzzy-Feel-Good”.

This was brightly illuminated this week when the woman who charged the whole Duke University Lacrosse team of raping her was jailed for attempted murder and arson, setting her boytopy afire in a bathtub, according to the AssPress.

When she made her charges, almost all the faculty at Duke, many TV anchors, analysts and columnists in the mainstream media cried out for every punishment short of crucifixion for the whole team....just because Ms. Crystal Magnum was of a racial minority.

When her girlfriend turned on her and her charges were exposed as fiction, there were STILL those who walked away mumbling....” whirr they’s smoke, they’s farrr!!!”...

Notice the similarity to the Sacred Faith of Manmade Global Warming. Passion and prejudice fill the truth vacuum with righteous fuzzy feel-goods.

Even old seasoned U.S. Army physicians, scared as Hell about their colleague’s jihadist diatribes never reported him as a “risk” until AFTER he went on a murderous rampage at Fort Hood, TX.

Our president and attorney general are black-belt PeeCee operatives. They read the Christmas Jihad boxers bomber his Miranda rights 50 minutes after he was detained, according to Atty. Gen. Eric Holder.

This same “Gubmint” tortured a four year old boy, making him remove leg braces for “close examination” in a TSA airport screening.

Treat EVVABUDDY the SAME !!!

THAT is the mirror image of PeeCee thinking. They made Joe Foss, all time air ace, Medal of Honor winner and former North Dakota governor hand over his Medal of Honor and strip while he was on his way to the annual Medal of Honor meeting in Washington. TSA agent did not know "whut the strange metal thang WUZ !!!”

That is the mirror-effect of PeeCee, punishing the obviously innocent to “even thangs out”.

That’s why the TSA made the most distinguished member of Congress, Democrat Rep. John Dingle (aged 90) remove HIS clothes and identify all his metallic hip and knee replacements. In the name of EQUALITY ???

In Texas, a Muslim lady who may, indeed, be off her rocker as her attorney hints, was given probation twice for having explosive devices and waving pipes and toy guns.

But last Wednesday (Feb 17) she collided with a tough federal judge who jailed her until further notice when she was found to have indeed, threatened motorists with one of three pipe bombs police found in her pickup.

Her probation two years ago was based on the same PeeCee fear-cum-generosity that allowed the Fort Hood assassin to execute his terrorist mission. She and her accomplice are Muslims and *(gasp)* we do not want to "profile" or “oppress” them, now, do we ?

And...how many scairdy-cat nol-prosses the mainstream media NEVER reports is probably astronomically shocking.

What’s killing our nation is...We will NEVER know until it is too late.

Is this the Whimper ?

The great T.S. Eliot wrote, plaintively: "This is the way the World ends---not with a bang, but a whimper..."

An so it is with anthropogenic global warming. The mea culpas from the dirty little boys squirming in the hayloft are letting their side down.

Most brutal of all the stories was in the UK Daily Mail on Sunday, Feburary 14 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250872/Climategate-U-turn-Astonishment-scientist-centre-global-warming-email-row-admits-data-organised.html
I did not see where the AssPress "copied" it.

The Mail had content from BBC and other interviews with Dr. Phil Jones---the point man in "Climategate" at East Anglia University, where he canniballized himself by refusing several parliamentary and government demands unter the Freedom of Information Act.

As a result of his ducking his responsibilities, one of his colleagues "outed" him and his co-conspirators by sending thousands of their emails to media interests.

These emails, you remember, laid bare the fudging,
bending and making-up of data upon which the Algoreans and other "warmists" based their famous "hockey stick" graph indicating imminent "crisping" of humanity due to fossil fuel CO2 that made a Greenhouse of the Earth's atmosphere.

This was supposed to support a huge "cap and trade" movement under which the United States would pay something like "reparations" to the rest of the world for using so much gasoline and deisel fuel.

Now, Dr. Jones admits that "there has been no increase in global warming temperatutes since 1995 !"

Dr. Jones also admits now (and he would NOT heretofore) that Earth's temperatures were muich hotter in medevial decades than since--with no fossil fuels use or possible man made warming of the planet.

Yes, I admit to a preoccupation with this subject---maybe an obsession.

But, we are surrounded by shuck-and-jive Flim Flam men with walnut shells and peas and playing cards for three-card-Monte and a plethora of sleight of hand and sleight of mouth tricks. So, cap-snd-trade is what ? Extortion on a galactic scale.

Long as I'm around, you and I will share an occasional "Uh-Oh" like this, at the expense of the withering would-be wizards.

UN a Joke But IPPC a FARCE

In this space several years ago, I revealed that the three thousand or ten thousand or however many "scientists" Al Gore claimed endorsed his view that humans were killing the planet with CO2, were mostly frauids, undergraduates or invented.

I was seconded by a group of knowledgeable engineers and biologists.

Members of the GW "Faith" beat me about the ears with shibolleths and epithets. But the buzzards are now roosting in Algorea. AND Nashville.

If you want the truth in English, about anything including America, you will go, as I do, to the Telegraph (UK) and there you will find it. http://tinyurl.com/y8qbejq

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate has been elevated by Gore and all true GW believers, to the Immaculate Source of all "climate truth".

But it lies. It also uses unpublished, unchecked papers to undergird flimsy claims. Much of the IPCC scary reports was based on World Wildlife, Greenpeace and other twisted propaganda, it turns out.

(1) Glaciers in the Himalayas will be all melted by 2030. UNTRUE ! Taken from an unpublished grad school paper, retracted and apologized for last week.

(2) Half of the Netherlands is below sea level and will be inundated this decade. UNTRUE ! Taken from a fraudulent brochure.

(3) Co2 emission levels from nuclear power plants super-dangerous. UNTRUE! Taken from a propaganda non scientific screed without checking.

(4) A definitive antagonistic research paper, fully peer reviewed was "hidden" and not included in IPCC reports because one member of the panel confided smugly: "Oh, that;s no good. He's changed his mind." He was not contacted and he still holds views hostile to anthropogenic Global Warming.

Every Day, another brick in the foundation of man-made global warming theory crumbles as more scientists READ the 1200 page IPCC manifesto. Now THREE years old.)

And now, our most celebrated USA metereologist, Dr. Richard Lindzen has spoken...in a YouTube video How the World Works Do not miss it. (http://tinyurl.com/yd5g6wx)

The reason I am belaboring about this is...the Congress will sometime this spring try to pass the Crap n' Tax legislation, confiscatory in intent and witless in its raison d-etre.

Join me in Huzzahs and Hoo-Haws that the time of scaring taxes out of the unwary and ignorant is now at an end.

Doth The IRS Shooteth ?

Stumbling around the internet, I ran across a strange story to the effect that the Internal Revenue Service is buying shotguns.

There is a site called BizOpp.gov that announces probable purchases and notices of intent to purchase.

They are starting with 60 Remington 12-gauge, short-barrelled pump models (like civlians are barred from owning).

Now, you know that 60 "sawed-off" shotguns will not "cover" all the USA. So it might be inferred that there is, in planning, an "Elite" squad of heavy hitters to send to brazenly recalcitrant tax cheats. (Treasury Secretary Geithner, maybe ?)

The income tax has been called "Progressive" and "Regressive" and has never been popular.

In the year 10 (AD or CE-if-you are PeeCee) the first emperor of the Han dynasty imposed the first income tax. He was dismembered and overthrown within twelve years and the tax "repealed".

Sadly, after being embarrassed by "the colony" of America, Great Britain, under Prime Minister William Pitt (the younger) sought to recoup its losses and brace for the Napoleonic Wars with an income tax of two pence per year on 400-pound incomes.

Lincoln and congress imposed the first American income tax in 1861 to pay for the Civil War, and upped the ante in 1862.

The graduated income tax, corporate income tax and inheritace taxes all came into existence during a fit of "Progressivism" in the first 15 years of the 20th century, during the fervor that took election of Senators away from the state legislatures and gave it to the people.

Then, in most of our lifetimes, came the stealth payroll tax, promising "refunds" to lower income earners and blossoming into gifts to non-taxpayers.

Some call it "confiscation". Some call it "Patriotism".

But shotguns are a new calling card for the tax adjuster.

Reason for the Death Panels ? Eureka !

Just surfing around the Internet, looking for reaction to Maine Senator Susan Collins' articulate shellacking of BHO and his administration quizzing the Yemeni Christmas bomber for 49 minutes and then "Mirandizing" him, my head was EXPLODED.

In Massillon, Ohio, an eleventh grade "civics / government" class was engulfed in a handout recruiting them all for an Obama "teen army" dubbed "Organizing For America !".

It apparently is a nationwide effort, assuming the website identity formerly was known as "MyObama.com".

The list of recommended reading in the recruitment enrollment (to be completed between now and November 2010 election day) went this way:

Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky
The New Organizers, Zack Exley
Stir it Up !!!:Sen. Obama : Plot a Miracle, Huffington Post
Dreams of My Father Chicago Chapters, Barack Hussein Obama

Going deeper, I found the whole text of the handout at this URL, which you may need to copy-and-paste. It is on the AtlasShrugs.com website: http://tinyurl.com/ybzzcsp.

Of course, we have all been aware of the alliance rouge between the teachers' union since that Janitor who was vice president of the Florida teachers' union illegally tapped into congressmen's private phone communications in 2000.

But, just imagine a nationwide recruitment of children activists by left wing school teachers and the present administration's communication and propaganda advisers.

Have you checked your Give-or-Mint skool lately for a tinge of national socialism recruitment ?,

This is how it began in Germany just 80 years ago. I guess that's the reason for the Death Panels.

I can still remember the 1930s.

0's "Freeze" May be a Hot Potato...

Giving credit to Dr. Charles Krauthammer, Liberal intellectual economist Paul Krugman and left-wing midget Robert Reich all in the same paragraph may be too much for you....but there you have it !

That Obama “freeze” on discretionary spending by the U.S. government is another smoke-and-mirrors, Oz-like shell game sham, they say.

Krauthammer told Bill O’Reilly on Fox News Channel it is “three-card-monte”—meaning misdirection of comprehension, in my lexicon.

Let’s say that Obama’s budget, presented to the House democrat leadership, where ALL sppropriationsm must start, calls for a 35% increase in the budget of the attorney general’s budget (to take care of the release of indicted Black Panthers and civil criminal trial in New York of enemy combatants with explosives in the crotch , (and / or a Gitmo lockup history.)

Well, a “freeze” would lock that increase into all future appropriations.

Not that Congress has recently scaled DOWN an appropriation. It has, however, limited cost-of-living increases in some cases to 3.5 % hikes.

So, as Krauthammer says, it’s “chicanery”. As Krugman says it’s “appalling!”. And as Reich says he just cannot believe it.

They may not be able to weigh the resentful anger in the alert, informed American voter’s heart. But these White House chiselers know how to transform a “freeze” into a potentially “hot potato”, however unintentionlly.

They have not figured out that the Tea Party is neither national political party.

The Tea Party of 2009 and 2910 is a knowledge-driven celebration of America and its longevity.

Bad Penny Has Two Sides

It HAD to be on a Monday. And it WAS. January 25, 2010 in fact--that two startling stories slammed into my ken.

One was a video of the President oif the United States making a speech to 11-and-12-year-olds, using a teleprompter. At first the report was denied by that famous oracle, Robert Gibbs, fresh fom undressing himself on Chris Wallace's Sunday interview.

But the swiftie web site IHatetheMedia.com had a video up, showing his Adored-Ness flicking eyes laft to right from the panels as he intoned to the sixth graders.

Gotcha!

Next up was Congressman Marion Berry (D) of Arkansas with the intelligence that he had repeatedly warned the president and White House aides they were courting disaster with the all-court press on Obamacare, deficit spending, and trying to cram Crap'n Tax GW climate legislation down the throat of a dubious electorate.

Berry, who is retiring becaue he sees a bloodbath for Democrats in November 2010, said no one i the White House listened. In fact he quoted President Obama as saying nothing like what happened in 1994 to the Clintons is going to happen....

Why?

"Because you all got ME, now !!!", Berry quoted Obama as saying.

Two sides to a bad penny, huh ?

One is Stealth-Inarticulate. Prome to "Uh", "Um" and "er"..(or err?)

And one starkly delusional.

Free At Last !!! The People's Seat....

As a young journalist and speech writer, I was in the midst of the earliest temporizing around the issue of segregation and voting rights in the south.

I sat with my friend Hughes Spalding Jr., on the platform when his Harvard roommate John F. Kennedy announced his presidential candidacy in historic Warm Springs, Georgia in 1960.

Thus, it was with pride that I sobbed audibly and welcomed the tears that ran down my cheeks when Dr. King spoke that day in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Then, MLK was assassinated and a nightmare unfolded. The worst of it was the imprisonment of 14% of the population of the United States on a political plantation of hatred, fear, envy and dissimulated demagogy.

Dr. King cried “Free at Last !!!”

But, despite the fact that mainly Christians stood with Dr. King and conservatives like Charlton Heston walked across the Pettus bridge in Selma, Alabama in defiance with him, the lunatic Left in this country has skillfully equated reason and traditionalism with “racism” to the extent that truly great minds like Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams are called “Uncle Toms” by ignorant sheeple.

Such has been the case in many precincts. In Massachusetts, for instance, where the vapid, puppet-like, maundering wastrel younger brother of JFK took the US senate seat he vacated, and was returned for 40 years, for love of Jack Kennedy.

Few remember that a great African American Edward Brooke, was subsequently elected to the senate in 1966. He was a Republican and served for two terms.

On Tuesday, January 19, the second Historic “Tea Party” was held in the Bay State, and the “Scott Heard Around The World” became the first Republican senator there since Brooke.

Scott Brown won the election with four words, when he corrected the vacuous and notorious air head David Gergen, who referred to the prize as “Ted Kennedy’s seat”.

“It’s The People’s Seat”, Scott Brown said.

And that was , for all purposes, the end of the campaign.

The people put their seal on Scott Brown’s statement, and wile maybe 30 % of America’s electorate missed it, and its significance, the thrill quicken the hearts of millions, and not just in Massachusetts.

There is very little outside of vicious thuggery and fraud that the Marxists and Left ideologues can do between now and November, but grumble and mutter about Tea Parties.

The handy word “racist” is tattered and trash. Massachusetts is where the farmers took up arms and chased the redcoats from bloody Breed;’a Hill.

Massachusetts is where the Abolition Movement began.

Massachusetts is where the Civil Rights movement found its most charismatic white Christian leadership, its funding and white martyrs.

And, Massachusetts shouts for all the world to hear today:

“Free at Last, Oh Great God ! Free at last !”

Janet Noncompetano, the UN-ProFiler...

Late Monday, a spokesperson for Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister announced to shocked news outlets that A YEAR AGO Britain's M I 5, intelligence authorities identified the Nigerian underwear bomber and warned that he was involved with radical muslim extremists, plaing him on THEIR watchlist.

Ladies and Gentlemenm, we are sitting ducks.

And it all flows from the same poisoned springwater.

To Homeland Security Big Sister Janet Noncompetano and to the President's White House, each of the words "profiling" and "terrorism" is a four letter word:

B U S H.

Janet began her federal bureaucratic career with a concerted effort to browbeat the Media into substituting the lengthy litany "Man Made Disaster" for "TERRORISM".

The whole administration has visited scorn on the CIA, returning terrorists to Yemen from which base they indoctrinated the Flight 235 would-be massacre artist.

The Obama administration intends to try confessed terrorists in ciovilian courts, treating them as "alleged felons" rather than assasins. There is an entire panoply---nay, a plethora---of "Make Nice and THEY Will not hurt us ".

An entire United States intelligence community has apparently been demoralized by these subversions and perversions.

For, profiling by race, society, extremist Gotterdamerrung nihilist philosophy is a primary implementation of spying and intelligence analysis.

But the United States does not DO profiling.

So, will Pee-Cee be the death of the nation ???

Political correctness shines a penumbra behind the shadows ofthe Fort Hood terrorist slaughterer, and now the tentacles of political correctness will save the savage Nigerian.

Attorney General Eric Holder plans to get him a lawyer and give him a civilian trial.

Profiling passengers is a must priority ,now. Pee Cee joins al Quaeda as a worst enemy of the U.S.A..

Shoot the Piano Player, Too !

(UPDATE! On Friday, Jan.1, 2010, the Transpotation Safety Administration, with craven embarrassment, WITHDREW the subpoenas reported in this post. Someone suffered brain flatulence, Obviously.)

Despite the plight and pleadings of the Honorable Gerald Walpin (see my immediately past posting) we still have some lively whistleblowers harrying and pestering the idiots and ditzoes in the Obama administration.

And that is a good thing, for ALL of us, because every time someone blows a whistle, the Obaminable go crazy half-cocked and try kill them—or at least shut them up.

The latest victims are two travel writers who innocently circulated a Transportation Safety Administration (Homeland Security) memo of immediate change in TSA search / scan rules and regulations that were promulgated and “leaked” to the two writers while the Detroit bomber’s hypo syringe was still warm.

DHS Big Sister Janet Napolitano was so INCENSED that her security attempt to close the barn door after the herd was loooooong gone, that she sent TSA “agents” fanning out to subpoena all travel agents who wrote about the memo.

“They took my Laptop”, one writer said. “I thought it was an announcement by TSA. It was just “there” in my inbox.

The other travel writer got an attorney and told the TSA “agents” to “fly-of”...or something like that.

What IS it with these Obamanatives. They don’t want to kill the messengers of bad news.

They have now started killing piano players.

And THIS is delicious...the memos they are so silly crazy about being “leaked” were prepared for public distribution ! (On dizzy Janet’s timetable.)

The phrase “Don’t kill the piano player...he’s doing his best” has been attributed to Mark Twain, but Oscar Wilde reported it from a Leadville, Colorado saloon on a visit to America in the 19th century.

“Don’t kill the messenger” goes back to Sophocles in the fourth century B.C., but was picked up by William Shakespeare for use in “Henry iv” and also in “Antony and Cleopatra”.

During the past year, in this administration, there has been a lot of it.

Tea Party protestors who actually ADDED UP and complained about the national deficit ($13 TRILLION); a slip of a girl and a video-wielding boy who exposed ACORN corruption in three cities; Fox News Channel (in general); Glenn Beck (specifically), and Rush Limbaugh —all these were “shot” by an uptight administration that could not pass the LOOK-SEE test.

Americans will probably wait forever if they expect an hones cleansing of the soul mea culpa from this crowd.

They seem Hell-bent on magnifying their lies, miscreances and screw-ups by loosing the hounds of pre-Hell on the heels, souls and freedoms of the Truth-Tattlers.

It is good for all of us that they do so.

This way, all of the shameful and scandalous tyrannical inner-angst of these monsters will be exposed in court documents—even if they holler “calf’s rope” and quash the trials at the last minute.

Excitements Loom Ahead...

Several excitements Loom !

Even though I personally believe the wrangling among Democrat lawmakers will go on until nearly summertime over the “healthcare” bill that must now be “reconciled”, I am still awed that the administration will hazard hurting nine tenths of the population while allegedly “guaranteeing” med “coverage” for one-tenth.

There will be other outrages to consider, however, so get some popcorn for the microwave and sit back.

Gerald Walpin’s suit to get his job back as inspector general of Americorps, is going to be the hottest ticket as the court records are enlarged and enlivened by further filings by Walpin and his attorneys.

Walpin caught Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson using Americorps federal grant money ($800,000) for unauthorized purposed and blew the whistle on him. Among other things, court filings show that Walpin caught Johnson, a former NBA star and a close friend of Michelle Obamas before he supported the president in 2008, was using federal money to pay personal slaveys who ran errands, took messages and washed his personal limousine.

In addition to this, Walpin ratted out the City University of New York University for mishandling and misapplication of chunks of federal grant money.

Americorps’ Board members had been rattled by their investigator’s findings, and shut off all communication, information and contact with him last Spring.

Then, President Obama’s “ethics Czar-counsel” called Walpin and gave him an hour to resign, then called him back in 40 minutes and fired him

Inspector General Reform Legislation of 2008, written and co-sponsored by then-Senator Obama REQUIRES a full report of reasons and a 30-day period for Congress to approve any such action.

It has always been that all Inspectors General are appointed only with the advice and consent of Congress, to protect ethical standards and fair employment.

That wasn’t done. The White House brushed off that detail with an accusation that Walpin (aged 76) was “confused and not coherent”.

Thus, age discrimination rears its formidable head in Walpin’s suit.

All he wants is his job back. He wants to jail thieves, evaders and offenders before he leaves his job. On his own terms.

This will be a “Doozy”. That 1920s term comes from the most beautiful car of those times, the Deusenberg, which appeared to be half a block long.

And the Walpin trial will NOT be abbreviated. His lawyers promise a continuing spate of “amended pleadings”.

Cap and Trade

Having put off the carbon valuation, limiting and swapping shell- game until after the Copenhagen farce, and the unexpected whistle blowing of an insider scientist at East Anglia University (the emails were not “hacked” but DELIVERED !), the U.S. Senate will tackle “Cap and Trade”.

Known by the cognoscenti on Capitol Hill as “the crap and tax thang” this legislative log-roll will strip bare all the fools and whores in the manmade global warming religion.

Hot Air Harbinger

A harbinger of sorts was sounded on Christmas Eve by one of the most unlikely realist-journalists in the United States, Alexander Cockburn.

Fired from his VillageVoice job for taking $10,000 in Arab oil money, and now at the ancient darker-thanpink The Nation magazine, Cockburn is an Israel Hater, and has recently attacked Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders as well as President Obama. Cockburn was critical of Bush and both his wars.

But he opines that Copenhagen is a farce begotten by the besotten. If some of his progressive followers actually investigate and then have another reason to subvert Obama from within ?

I am going to keep my earphones on.

Trash Timidity...Build a FIRE !

Reflections on Homework...

Here is this wrinkling, withering octogenarian who paid a great deal of attention to the exploits of Ahmed Massoud, the Lion of the Valley of Five Lions when he coalesced the bloody tribal ethnic-enemies in Afghanistan to chase the Russian communist invaders home.

Although this charismatic leader was later assassinated just two days before “9-11" by Taliban and Al Quaeda conspirators, he is permanently revered by Afghans speaking every dialect of all three major languages with disparate tribal and ethnic loyalties.

All true Reagan lovers know all about this. So do readers of Ken Follett’s “Lying Down With Lions”—a great illumination of a pre-patriotic Afghanistan jelling into (almost) Nationhood as long as Massoud was alive.

But, since President Obama is everything except a Reaganite and since he has apparently not read Follett’s novel OR apparently, anything in Wikipedia about Massoud, Afghanistan, the rise of Taliban and the internecine conspiracies of the alien Arabian bin Laden and Taliban clerics...he made a rather off-handed speech before the cadets at the United States Army Military academy (which the president’s worshiper Chris Matthews (MSNBC) called “the enemy camp”) which will accomplish nothing good.

Hurriedly, in a pique of boredom that explained his seven months pf dithering Nero-like, the president–laid an egg–in showbiz lingo.

In essence he said that this (30,000 new troops) is NOT a “surge” and that he’s going to bring them back (what’s left) in a matter of months.

We are going to get the job done, he said.

And what is the job?

Pull out as soon as possible.

In 1979 and 1980, the Afghan anti-Russians were few and scattered and more interested in killing their historical; tribal enemies. They all agreed on only ONE thing: absolute institutional misogyny—oppression and suppression of women in the name of historical tradition and Islamic Sharia law.

Along came a deal with all disparate rebel “freedom fighters” and Reagan& Co. sent the surface-to-air missiles and rocket propelled grenade materiel to wipe out Russia Soviet helicopters Arms flowed from America through Pakistan to Massoud and his allies. By 1989, when the Soviet Union melted away under the weight of its soulless fraud, the Reds were back home in Russia and Afghanistan was its own nation.

That took a lot of guts and blood from a lot of martyrs. It opened a window.

Piecemeal lip service now ten years later, will serve no purpose but to feed the pustule of fascism inherent in attitudes and projections of Massoud’s murderers.

My prescription is that Camille Paglia and Sarah Palin fuse their dignified, logical and pragmatic feminism into a blazing force that will fuel an INFORMED uprising to educate, disrupt and destroy all appeasers of Talibanic liberty-hating, anti-feminism.

Maybe the scairdy-cat left-winger will wake up to that. Killing Taliban is good, mind you. Capturing bin Laden alive would be good, too.

But Massoud and Reagan and Maggie Thatcher—and Winston Churchill--- changed history by changing souls of the iniquitous, jaded appeasers in seats of Power.

Any Takers ?

Will This Scandal Turn "Green" to a Big Red Blush ?

Bad week for the left wing liars and hypnotists....And Geithner hasn't been nailed...yet.

The really Big Bad news for the socialis looters is that some genius reportedly hacked into the computers at Hadley —(where the United Kingdom’s Climate Research Unit abides)—and found a treasure trove of hypocrisy, outright lying and falsification of scientific and historical data.

It reportedly included emails gloating over the death of John Daly a respected, effective and outspoken skeptic of man-caused climate change.

The ALLEGED evidence was fully aired in the columns of the Telegraph by a famous author-journalist James Delingpole. Go to www.jamesdelingpole.com.


That these revelations exploded on the heels of the demise of the Copenhagen treaty and the announcement that President Obama is taking “Crap & Tax” legislation off the table is not surprising.

Obviously, the bit dogs at the center of the conspiracy gave all their tools a heads-up that ...well...the JIG was up, also.

Maybe we octogenarians, having long acquaintance with such skulduggery on a much smaller scale in Joisey and Chicago and Vegas tend to be all to ready with our “I-Told-You-So’s”.

My view that this scandal, if it fleshes out, will send many “degred” climate experts to jail, embarrass, if not destroy Al Gore, and put the brakes on a runaway UN-Third World cabal that has been using phony moral blackmail to conjure abject fealty from limpwristed international media sheep.

A rearrangement of perspectives by plain old Main Street Americans might even bring about some honesty in Washington D.C.

But, then, there are al lot of computers and emails THERE just ripe for hacking, Eh ??!!

Idiotic PeeCee Now Deadly

Do you remember, as I do, the first bomb attack on the World Trade Center, in 1993 ?

It took a while, but finally Ramzi Youseff, a New Jersey Islamic "extremist" was fingered by law enforcement. He is serving time now.

But at the time, President William Jefferson Clinton did not identify it as terrorism, or visit the site, or make any commitment to sorting it out. His then-advisor, Dick Morris remembers the reaction as "low key".

What "goes" with these Democrat politicians? They see murderous terrorists as a law enforcement issue ?

President Barack Hussein Obama spent several minutes hailing a "medal of honor winner" who, incidentally, was NOT, before he murmured condolences for the slain and injured and warned all of us NOT to "jump to any conclusions..."

What are these guys smoking ? Do they inhale ?

A psychiatrist who jumps on a table and screams a DeathCall reserved for bloody Jihadists of the Muslim faith, "ALLAHU AKBAR !!!" after regalinmg his fellow soldiers with terrorist sympathies for years is NOT to be recognized by sane people as a terrorist slaughterer ?

Chris Wallace on Fox Sunday asked "Did Political Correctness cause the Fort Hood bloodbath? I have been sayinmg for years that PeeCee will destroy our society.

Even George Orwell could not bend that Islamic War Cry into Newspeak.

Michigan congressman Peter Hoekstra said Monday, November 8, that U.S. intelligence agencies KNEW this U.S. Army Major had been in contact with al Quaeda, but were "stonewalling his committee on details.

While the FBI and the CID are looking into this thing, will they have enough time to educate the Chief Magistrate ?

I'll wager that the fiery desire is there. In the task force I mean.

An American Reach

Mark Tuesday, November 3 on your calendar and reminder.

We will learn a lot about America’s Excellence, her Vigilance, her resilience and her ability to differentiate between watercress and raw meat.

There are three elections coming up, and I suspect their imminent concatenation is at least one reason for the president’s dithering on Afghanistan and other matters, even though he is more accomplished as a campaigner than a decision maker.

According to Scott Rasmussen’s New Jersey polling (of CERTAIN voters, not “breathers”), Democrat Jon Corzine is down at least three points to Republican Chris Christie, in the race for governor and a third “independent”, Cris Daggett, is fading fast. New Jersey votes caught on to the “Cris” name similarity “split-factor” pretty quick.

And another less well known poll has the margin at 4.8.

In Virginia’s gubernatorial contest, Rasmussen has Bob McDonnell, a conservative Republican, up 14 points over Democrat Creigh Deeds. That is a show of independents fleeing the party of the left for less turbulent policies and spending restraint.

Virginia is where the guru of political junkies, Dr. Larry Sabato lurks, and he has used the voters there to knell the hazards for the GOP...until now.

Most important, and most exciting of all is the race in the 23rd Congressional District of New York, where GOP party hacks have a liberal in a Halloween Fright-Mask (Dede Scozzaflava) running against old line Democrat Bill Owens.

Republican congressional campaign money has poured into Dede’s camp and she has just rested there, plopped, like a stone.

Until the past three weeks, that is.

Enter Rush Limbaugh. Enter Glenn Beck. Enter Fred Thompson, Dana Rohrbacher, and Sarah Palin, raising money and proclaiming endorsement.... NOT of Dede, though.

All political addicts know that New York has a “Conservative Line”, valid in all state elections.

And in the 23rd district, the Conservative candidate is longtime conservative activist Douglas Hoffman.

And Hoffman is on the receiving end of the thunderous movement of fiscal and social conservative principles that has energized millions of Americans since the August Town Halls and the Tea Parties that climaxed in the nation’s Capitol the second week in September.

Hoffman is being buoyed aloft by the same people, in and outside of the 23rd district, who have been reviled by frightened Democrat hacks and things...whose fervor has provoked a “War” on talk radio and on Fox News Channel, and an attempt to lock certain newsmen out of presidential news briefings.

Contestants in Virginia and New Jersey are prominently Republican or Democrat. Winners in these races will send “messages”.

But, if the most recent poll in Upper New York is anywhere close to the result...if Hoffman beats Dede Scozzaflava, then its shock therapy for the tired old GOP hangers-on.

And, were Hoffman, now with more campaign cash than both of the others, to beat the Democrat candidate Bill Owens and win the Senate seat ? With dollars and dimes from Tea Partiers nationwide ?

Why, that would mean the White House has lost TWO wars ! Maybe, three.

And even the most blind and biased media maggot would then understand the “uprising” is not partisan.

It is, totally, an American reach for Excellence.

Who's the Fooler ? Who the Foolee?

Everybody's repeated the Mark Twain saw about getting in a fight with someboy that buys ink by the barrel...and dodging anyone who does noy NEED ink.

But the stupid, MonkeyMedia, struggling in its devouring tarpit of leftwing ideology, has been burnt again by a slip of a girl named Hannah Giles.

Yesterday, all the lovers and defenders of A C O R N, the most UN-Excellent thing in America these days, reported that the ACORN office in Philadelphia had "kicked out" Hannah and her "pimp poseur", Jimmy Okeefe.

Not so fast there, boobs !

Andy Breitbart posted 42 minutes of video and audio Thursday evening that tells a different story. The muckraking duo had an extended meeting with ACORN people in the City of Brotherly Love office, lasting three quarters of an hour!

And, it ended very harmoniousy and graciously, contradicting the video account given by ACORN that was gleefully received, swallowed and endorsed by mouldy media..

Check out the latest Okeefe-Hannah Giles video-audio here: http://biggovernment.com/#

Why do they try to outsmart Hannah and Jimmy?

My guess is that they're acting out the definition of derangement: Try the same thing again and again and again ...until it works!!.

But the odds are ALWAYS against "false witness"...Pathetic.

A Prize for Neda...Next Year ?

When Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore were announced as Nobel Peace Prize laureates, I felt betrayed and a bit queasy in my entrails.

When Mother Teresa of Calcutta was honored with the award, I laughed and wept.

But when President Obama was announced as the 2009 choice, I just suspended belief. Then I went to the files and came up with the calculation that the nominations for this year’s “election” closed eight days after Obama was sworn in.

Who knew ?

Well, even though my favorite woman commentator on the passing scene, Peggy Noonan called this happenstance “absurd”, "wicked" and “mischievous”, I reserved the right to call it Nefarious Extortion” and “ Bill of Attainder Blackmail”.

Like Ms. Noonan, I am innured..yea, bored with the procession of vacuous “liberals” with whom the Nobel people are preoccupied. Carter hated Jews and built boxes for the poor to live in. Gore invented the internet and a new, false religion to scare hell out of ignorant people.

But every Nobel Peace laureate until now, has done something besides talk !

I cannot get the sight out of my soul of Neda Soltana, an Iranian lady who was brutally pummeled and then shot to death on June 20, this year by Ahmadinejad’s thugs in black for protesting against oppression and asking for a reassessment of the just-past election.

Her name, incidentally, translated from Persian (Farsi) means “Voice”.

I watched the video of her murder over and over again last June and July, especially on my 84th birthday a week after her shameful murder.

My first reaction to the Nobel announcement was “Why Not Neda ???”

But, of course, she had not “qualified” or been nominated last February.

That is Very, Very important to these people in Oslo, Norway.

Maybe (like the Dodgers in pre-World War II Brooklyn) or the Pittsburgh Pirates of today...

Maybe Next year for Neda ????

Sharing Corruption, Not Accountability

Of all the things that are wrong in our nation’s capitol, I can find nothing worse than the fact that the U.S. House of Representatives voted not to remove a man from the chairmanship of what is arguable the most important committee in Congress, even though he was guilty of:

(1) Failure to report over $1 million in outside income and $3 million in business transactions as required by the House,
(2) Failure to disclose at least $650,000 in assets he had previously failed to list on his House financial disclosure forms,
(3) Failure to disclose to the IRS or on his financial disclosure forms $75,000 in rental income for a beach villa in the Dominican Republic,
(4) Violation of state laws by claiming three primary residences and breaking New York City regulations by maintaining four rent-controlled apartments,
(5) Violation of House rules by using congressional letterhead to solicit donations for an education center bearing his name at City College of New York, and
(6) Delinquency in paying his property taxes on two New Jersey parcels and failure to report the sale of a $1.3 million brownstone.

This is of course, Charles Rangel, Mogul of the Ways and Means committee, where every single disbursement of every single taxpayers’ dollar is written / originated.

Doubtless, all of these discrepancies or lapses in ethical and moral judgment are traceable to RACISM on someone’s part.

Either that, or it’s Bush’s fault.

Print this and save it for next years political season.

The Monkey Media will not bring it up again. That is a certainty.

Is Your Congressman your LEADER ?

I am having a very hard time with someone I really love and appreciate who has a discerning mind and deep unexploited understanding about national and international policies and governance.

She INSISTS that when we elect someone to a political office, they become our "leader".

I insist that the person I vote for, if elected, becomes my "servant" and that my role is employer to the extent I share employer status with thousands, and the elected person must make some sense of our cacophony. That is a JOB, and not an easy one. But he is an employee and not a leader.

That's why he / she gets the Big Bucks, right ?

Here is what Merriam Webster says:

Main Entry: leader

— leaderless \-lə?s\ adjective

In the beginning of this Republic, the authors of the Constitution (none of whom was T.Jefferson---he was in Paris) had the idea that congressmen in the lower house were answerable to the voters in the district in the state they came from; and the Senators, who were supposed to be wiser (Senator comes from the same root as "senile") would be answerable to the state legislatures that elected them.

This certainly iplies that the founding fathers generally took the John Marshall and Patrick Henry view that the legislators were servants of their electors.

Now, when one of these legislators was chosen to chair either the whole Senate (as president, pro-tem) or the House (as Speaker, THEN that member became the "leader" of that restricted entity which so chose him.

But not the "leader" of the people.

In a republic, the citizens pay the bills and the citizens are the bosses....At least that is the way it was dreamed of and originally fleshed out.

In what time remains (for me or for the Republic), I will still treat things that way.

I only wish my Sainted Friend could see it my way. For, SHE really IS a "leader".

Hey, Craven Crowley, Here's History 101

When Henry L. Stimson first served in a President’s cabinet, he dismissed espionage by famously and fatuously saying:

“Gentlemen do NOT read one another’s mail !”

In early 1917, President Woodrow Wilson was presented with an intercepted diplomatic message from German Kaiser Wilhelm to Mexico promising all of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California to our southern “Neighbor” if they would declare war on the United States and he pooh-poohed it until a friendly Mexican official confirmed its validity.

Sadly, this is the way we WANT to be in “peacetime”. But we have come a cropper every time we played Wishful Wonderland.

Military and diplomats argued about signals they were receiving from the Pacific the whole year of 1941, until the Empire of Japan struck Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

Even in the months before September 11, 2001, while the Jihadist Murderers-Assassins were rambling over the countryside of the United States prepping for their Gotterdammerung Downtown, the knowledge that they were up to something was floating around, dismissed in counter-intelligence limbo.

All this history, which has been collected by men who were there---most elaborately by Allen Dulles in his “The Craft of Intelligence”—is apparently never taught in the Ivy League Bastions or, for that matter, in Congress or the State or Justice department.

Speaking to the press this week, in answer to the question of what is being don with the terrorists detained at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base, one of the Foggy Bottom’s “brightest, best” referred to these rapacious marauders as “Refugees”.

His name is Philip J. Crowley, and I want him to answer for it. I want Hillary Clinton to answer for it. Who was this moron trying to “please” ??

This attempt to lull everyone to sleep, treat people who would consummate Ahmadinejad’s Dream and bring down ALL of America as if they were mere scofflaw guilty of some minor disgusting misdemeanor in the Metro.

If we refuse to sit silently and allow Big Government to ram down or shove up a venal plan to dissolve and co opt 0ne-sixth of our economy—and we DO so refuse!—why do we accept docility in the face of this OTHER summons to serfdom ?

The school system may be lost to the indoctrinators temporarily. But history is irrevocable.

It is there to be learn from....or repeated.

Spores of Tyrannical Suppression

Did you know that the narcissistic impulse to statist censorship is aggressively contagious?

It appears that the spores or viruses or whatever other carriers of Hunger-to-Coerce-and-Suppress free activity and speech can leap a whole half-continent in a nanosecond.

From the offices of ACORN in Maryland where the corrupt seek to punish those who unmasked them and from theCongressionally de-funded precincts of ACORN in California to Washington D.C., the Kill-Messenger Malady has spread to Austin, Texas.

The Austin American-Statesman reports that Art Acevedo, the Chief of Police there, is announcing a full investigation of internet postings which Acevedo claims threaten public trust of police and undermine authority.

Acevedo claims some city employees may be parties to the defamation and suspected subversion, and that his investigators will seek search warrants and subpoenas to root out the offenders on the Internet.

This is just another tin-badge Chavez type who has read more liberal claptrap than he has digested American Constitutional Law. And, of course, his yammerings will come to naught if the columns of comments from, Austin and other Texas citizens count for anything, ( SEE http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/09/18/0918comments.html)

This is NOT the Tiny Teapot Tempest it appears.

Non-success to the contrary notwithstanding, the suppressors of free speech is all around you. They have been comfy with the indolent and corrupt Monkey Media that hides truth and dispenses haft-truths, untruths and insincerity daily.

There is a large hunk of the citizenry who actually resent the truth telling of the free Internet and the whirlwind world wide web that embarrasses the ancient dying slavish “libruhl” .

Horror is that these people WELCOME Art Acevedo’s attack on Internet freedom. They are eager to accommodate the silencing of Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Michael Savage, David Horowitz, Neal Boortz and Laura In graham.

Vigilance is the only antidote. Mow the Acevedos and the FCC bullies down as they raise their tyrannical tentacles. The spores are in the air.

Do You Smell What I Smell ???

When the New York Times broke a story Tuesday, September 22 that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is going to seek a bailout for itself from "healthy" banks it is tasked with protecting from failure, I actually sobbed.

It was easier than laughing.

Just the day before, the United States attorney in Manhattan got a Grand Jury to augment its indictment of an Iranian slush-fund donor of millions to Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry while he defrauded banks of $297 million-plus.

Hassan Nemazee, who is listed as a half million contributor to the president’s successful campaign, $100,000 to Hillary's primary fight and $200,000 to John Kerry in 2004 was first fingered by Citibank for taking $75 million of its money in loans for which collateral was nonexistent.

Then, Bank of America and HSBC joined the whining, raising the reported theft-cum-fraud to four times its original tote (or $297 million).
You can read all about it here: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a9e4hFSFhjdw .

We must smile when we learn that the U.S. DA in charge of the case is one Preet Bahara.

Now add to these two "banking" stories that have all kinds of "bailout" and political implications another bubbling cauldron of investigation into thick and indigestible ACORN coddling by the U.S. federal government, and you have a really burgeoning backlog of smelly stories for the Monkey Media" to catch up on.

They are the Monkey Media because they do not SEE, HEAR, or SPEAK OF evil in the present administration. We are about to discover if their olfactory receptors are intact.

Senator Susan Collins of Maine, Darrel Issa of California and Lamar Smith, Texas all oversight committee members in Congress asked nine independent Inspectors General to investigate U.S. government funding and involvement with the embattled community organizing group ACORN by the respective agencies / bureaus overseen by the IGs.

The Department of Justice is first on the list. That should burn Eric Holder a new one. Then comes the Treasury department (Geithner), and several that I had never even heard of.

This blogger has been one of many to forecast that sooner or later the logjam of misinformation and indolence on the part of the alphabet TV and the craven AssPress will be broken by sheer tonnage of the sleaze and corruption
So far, only Bloomberg and Reuters wire services carry all the information above. The UK Telegraph and Times of London have had better coverage than 99% of US papers.

We will soon see if the stink will pry them out of the trance.

Meanwhile, here's a late Flash !!! The left wing British paper "Guardian" Tuesday morning called our president irrelevant and "impotent". Spot on, old chaps....

Subverted By the Blind Pretenders

When I was in my second or third year at Emory, our Abnormal Psychology professor—and that is NOT necessarily ambivalent syntax—took us to the State Hospital for the Insane at Milledgeville, Georgia.

That was before all suspects were totally medicated or homeless.

We saw one man all bandaged up with blood soaking through the bandages. He was moaning unintelligibly. The attending psychiatrist told us they had found him with some broken glass sawing away at his genitals around midnight the night before.

The White House today provoked the stark memory of that mad man.

Why doesn’t Hillary Clinton just resign and make space for the senile jew hater who is now seeing things that are not there? He descends daily into puerile pusillanimity.

Carter is a natural for this administration, having emasculated himself long ago with the help of Zbigniew Brezhinski, who did not believe—and would not let Carter believe—that the Ayatollah Khomeini had won Iran, until long after he had arrived in Teheran from Paris and the Sha was gone. Check our ambassador there at the time, William Sullivan, in his memoir.

Now, the administration in Washington is “killing” the missile shield deployment in Poland and the Czech republic.

Left wing liberals have hated the Strategic Defense Initiative since the late Teddy Kennedy misnamed it “star wars”. That it is working efficiently, that Japan is very happy with its performance and promise means nothing at all to these haters of America.

Bent on some crackpot carnival mirror image of “revenge”, these people have:

(1) Renounced our close kinship with Israel, in place for 61 years of Democrat and GOP majorities and presidencies.

(2) Cozied up to statist and fascists, both in this hemisphere and the Mideast.

(3) Agreed to “talk” with Iran’s unbalanced leadership which has promised to “end America”

(4) Allowed the Homeland Security secretary to blunt and dull its mission and malign American citizens.

(5) Play sycophant to Vladimir Putin’s Russia instead of calling him on his slide into totalitarian rule. .Now, if that is not self-mutilation, then no man or nation has ever done it.

And the “alphabet” TV nets and the newspapers and wire services of record applaud.

They are pretending (In Peril, I fear) that the Mass Tea Party in the Capital did not occur.

Fallout Abounds....Mostly Good

Fallout abounds from posts here, the 9-12 protest in Washington DC and PEW research on News Media acceptance in the United States released Monday September 14.

First of all, this viewer of the passing media moneys ( hear-no-see-no-evil) is not alone. Pew researchers, who check out many thousands of people—not just 600 or 900 like most pollsters–say that only 29 per cent of the public BELIEVES what they are fed by newspapers and television news and news magazines. Even 59 per cent of Democrats are leery of media content.

And, it has not to do with bias in policy matters alone. The bulk of Americans question the accuracy of reporting on ALL subjects: crime, courts, legislation, book reviews and “celebrity”
reportage. Here’s a link to the whole report: http://tinyurl.com/pj5nql.

I had three friends attending the Big Tea Party protest march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol Saturday, September 12. Two came away overjoyed and energized.

One was a bitter man when he called me Monday.

“The freebie USA Today newspaper at the Hotel had not one word about the protest march. The London Mail, Telegraph, Times all had huge stories, according to my laptop. One London paper said there were one and one half million people in our march. But this US daily with the largest circulation (they say) in our country has not a word on it ?! Is this Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba, or the USA ?”

While only one Baltimore radio station (WBAL) carried the story about ACORN counseling the phony pimp and hooker on money laundering, it HAD to quote the DA’s threat to “prosecute” the secret taping by the whistleblowers.

Meanwhile, at the White House, a double barreled POW! Reaction ensued. The CENSUS of 2010 broke all ties with ACORN and the White House kicked the census out of the White House.

Despite no Media coverage. So, maybe when a tree falls in Maryland, only the White House hears it.

And, then on Monday, in Brooklyn, N.Y., a borough of the Big Apple, a third video surfaced of the pimp and hooker getting money laundering counseling from ACORN officials, and this time a metropolitan daily newspaper with 700,000 circulation broke the story—the NY Post.

Will the Borough District Attorney prosecute the ACORN people? Or the investigative journalists posing as brothel-keepers-to-be ? It is better than any soap opera tease.

And just think...n alert, non-lazy, unbiased Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, or New York Times could have broken the same story any time within the last year or so.

That is what continues to be scary to me.

Will They Swaller Themselves ?

The BIG scandal about the people at the National Endowment for Arts (and for the Humanities) is NOT that they “reassigned” Yosi Sargeant, who intimidated and hustled recipients of federal grants—instead of just firing the offending Obama appointee.

The horror is that you could only read about the corrective action on the Internet.

None of the alphabet networks and none of the “journals of record” reported the story. It WAS available here on E I A.

And, looky here ! It took TWO hidden-camera videos surfacing on successive days to attract any media attention to the scurrilous activity of the ACORN subsidizers of pimps and prostitutes and phony tax preparing money launderers in Baltimore and Washington D.C.

Sure, it is exciting to be part of the blogosphere that shakes things up and gets the truth on the information superhighway.

But the deepest, most fetid and rancid scandal in the United States is not the rapacity of the “progressives” like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Harry Reid in congress. Nor is it the misleading jig-bob-and-weave of the White House TOTUS (None Dare Not Call it All A Lie !)

It is, as was the case in Watergate, the Cover Up that is worse than all the corruption, power overreaching and insidious assumption of unconstitutional powers.

But this time, Bob Woodward’s newspaper is NOT in the vanguard of the gadflies and scum-sifters. Woodward is gelded...silent. And the holy altar of investigative journalism has been usurped by the World Wide Web.

And the newspapers bleed and shrink. I am reminded of James Whitcomb Riley’s
Skwidgey-cum-Skwees” that “swaller themselves...”

Can;’t wait to see the AssPress perform that trick.

Dirty Tricks by George and Ben

Academic as well as anecdotal historians have pretty well established the fact that information gatherers in Naval intelligence, Army G-3, and the State department all had scraps of information that, cobbled together by a fifth grader, would have forewarned the U.S.A. about the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan on December 7, 1941.

That’s why we have the CIA today. That’s why FDR tasked his Harvard classmate and political adversary Colonel “Wild Bill” Donovan to create and develop the CIA’s precursor Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

This infuriated the Army, Navy and Diplomatic establishments all of which laid claim to the important job of analyzing and evaluating information from overseas for the Chief Executive’s National Security Council.

America had never had a central clearing house for espionage, covert operations or “dirty tricks” before, and it all tehn accreted rather like “Topsy” in Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

But the military intelligence and espionage work has a long history, of which many Americans in 2009 are not aware.

George Washington was a magnificent and successful Spymaster—as every one of his biographers attests. He hanged every British spy he caught, despite whimperings of many lily-livered colleagues, who begged him not to. We only have full account of the handsome, debonair John Andre’ who was very popular among America’s new politico-military elite.. He was General Benedict Arnold’s cohort on the Hudson and elsewhere.

But General Washington had a genius for disinformation and strategic and tactical legerdemain also. He could “shuck and jive” with the best of them, poker-faced.

That is one of the secrets behind his losing so many battles and winning a war of revolution.

His manipulation of the Hessian mercenaries was one of his masterstrokes.

Well, they weren’t REALLY mercenaries, because they got none of the paid money. King George III, who was Hanoverian Prussian himself, made a deal with Prince Frederic II of Hesse-Cassel for about 30, 000 soldiers to bolster the British expeditionary force in the “colonies”. In the deal, the Hessian Prince received a flat sum for the lot and a BONUS payment for each Hessian killed by the Americans.

Having learned all this from some of the 900 Hessians he captured on Christmas Day at the Battle of Trenton, General Washington got Benjamin Franklin to craft a letter, in the best traditional Teutonic-Hessian style, (and in diplomatic French) ostensibly penned by Prince Frederick, complaining that “not enough of our officers and soldiers are in harm’s way” and “we are not receiving the promised amount of bonus” agreed upon for use of our army”.

Dissemination of this letter, printed by Franklin in Philadelphia and circulated throughout New York and Pennsylvania brought about the disaffection, mutiny and surrender to Washington of 6,000 Hessian officers and troops in 1777 and 1778 and declining morale on until 1781. There were only 13, 000 of the original 30,000 Hessian troops remaining to be captured at the final battle of Yorktown in 1781.

The rest were already either supporting Washington’s army or setting on their 50 acre far-acre farms in Pennsylvania—in the heart of what is now “Pennsylvania Dutch” Country.

Therefore, the CIA did NOT (as the bed wetters would have you believe) invent horrid, nasty, ungentlemanly, unsavory “Dirty Tricks” in U.S. armed combat.

Prescient Policeman ?

Tonight, it has been difficult to grasp real things.

First within a few hours I heard of the deaths of two people close to me. I was able to digest those with some aplomb.

Then, I saw a VERY unsettling video posted on YouTube of a protest at Reston, VA outside Democrat Congressman Jim Moran’s “townhall” meeting.

A man was carrying a poster opposing “Obamacare”.

A policeman started hassling him, ordering him to “put down” the placard, or else he would be arrested for “tresspass”. They exchanged questions and the policeman got VERY agitated and threatening.

The protester asked, plaintively, “Isn’t this America ? ”

“No !” the policeman announced, “It aint no more…
Okay ??? !”

I have played it four times. Is this cop a prophet ? He IS of pro-Obama persuasion, apparently.

Does he know a secret the rest of us have not been told yet ? Or is he just a prescient seer ?

Captain! O My Captain !

When George Stephanopolis on ABC’s morning show divines from an “in-house” poll of bodies on the street (showing approval for Obama at 56%) that “Americans think he’s in over his head...”.....

AND, when liberal pollster John Zogby’s Interactive Internet poll comes up with only a 47% approval rating for Obama....

And when, for nearly two weeks, Scott Rasmussen’s daily tracking pool of 1,000-plus Likely-and-habitual” voters hovers between 47% and 49% for the president....

THEN you may pay attention.

And you may be sure that the president and David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel are paying attention, because THEIR “in house polls” are producing much more dire information that ABC Steffy’s or Gallup’s historically tortured figures.

Then you hear Obama using words like “wee-wee” and savaging Sara Palin and “Republicans”. We get intimations that the president has not read ANY of the five “health” bills stalled in Congress when he must be corrected or have his slaveys explain “misspeaks”.

And this is just the third week in August.

Dr. Charles Krauthammer is explaining that while there are no “death panels” actually spelled out in Section 1322 of the House “health” bill, there IS a provision to pay physicians a bonus for “counseling” the elderly REGULARLY on living wills and life-end choices. A tortuous exercise, and irrelevant Dr. K agrees.

And finally, Peggy Noonan a level headed and generous patriot, has decided that the best decision is to “pull the plug” on Obamacare.

From This day, Friday, Aug. 21, the fog is definitely clearing for the passengers on this Ship of State.

There be BERGS!..Large, craggy, threatening monstrosities, fully visible:

Unemployment in California at 11.6 %.

Cash for Clunkers on the ash heap–an awkward and costly failure.

A “ruling” majority party chasing its tail and cannibalizing.

And, who is in charge of the ship ? Its Amateur hour, with mutterings about “wee-wee” !

And as the fog thickens again, we can only see one-tenth of the icebergs’ bulk.

Pressure ? Sure...But Whose ?

First the White House solicited myriad sneaky snitches, spies and trolls to rat out their neighbors and co-workers who opposed DeatCare.

Next, the Chief Magistrate and all his sycophants averred that there was no provision for end of life counseling in euthanasia for the elderly. (THERE IS ! IT’s Section 1322.)

Then, He and They dismissed Townhall protestors as “orchestrated” yawpers.

Next, this servant of the Republic's citizenry announced he did not want people talking…he wanted them “out of the way”.

Now cometh his slavish lower house legislators in a SUNDAY newspaper editorial branding all who oppose DeathCare as “Un-American”.

Will all this work?

Well.... I am an ancient watcher of the American “passing parade”. I can remember in 1941, when every third adult in Georgia was suspected of being a Klansman, and the Governor threatened and intimidated and, finally, PHYSICALLY removed professors from their University positions. It did not work. The voters threw him out.

FDR tried to enlarge the Supreme Court to bypass SCOTUS edicts that his policies were unconstitutional. At the zenith of his popularity, he was trumped and sent to "reset" by a national uprising and despite some media hysteria in his favor.

There are all kinds of overreaches in American history that were rebuffed. World history is cluttered with them.

The best known and most grimly impressed on our political psyche is the Richard Nixon crowd’s stupid, blind, tonedeaf exerecise in Hubris.

It just will not work, no matter how hard they try to fix the wheel with union thugs, Acorn and media whores.

In this republic, the embers of Liberty always flare into a blaze of Triumph.

Tyrants are always tone deaf, and eventually defeat themselves. Watch !
