The Guantlet Is Thrown - A Veteran Mails His Letters



July 26, 2013

Forestburg, TX 76239
 

 

The Honourable John Cornyn
Senate Finance Committee
517 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510

 
Dear Senator Cornyn,

As a veteran of the Air Force, with two tours in Vietnam, and having worked for 29 years until retirement from a major company, I have invested much in this country and do not want to see it “fundamentally changed” from the greatest experiment is liberty ever conceived.

 This letter is in regard to the funding under consideration for the “Affordable Care Act” also called “Obamacare”.
 
This constituent is extremely concerned about the destruction this law will cause for our country.  There has never been a law created, passed, and now possibly implemented that was forced on the people in such a devious manner.

We now have one shot at stopping this law.  After that it will be virtually impossible to stop it from forever making us a truly socialist state.  If we do not act now there will be no recourse.

Please use all your resources to help defund or otherwise refuse to fund Obamacare.  We urge you to use every ounce of extra effort to influence your peers in the Senate to support you in this effort.  We believe this is the most important issue to face this Country since the original signing of the Bill of Rights.
 
We expect you to spend as much or more energy on this problem than any one you have faced since 2002 when you were elected as our State’s representative in the United States Senate.

You need only need 41 votes to stop the funding in the Senate by filibuster… probably the only last resort we will have if the House is able to do their part and send a budget de-funding Obamacare to the Senate.  If the Senate does its part, the budget will go to the President where he will be faced with either passage or veto.  In the case of a veto there would most probably be a government shutdown whereby the President will have to take full responsibility.

We know your Texas peer, Ted Cruz and the other freshmen Senators, Rubio, Paul, Lee, and several others will not rest until every vote is counted in favour of de-funding this terrible law.  These young representatives are the future of the Legislative branch of our government.  We Americans want to see them get the professional respect and consideration they deserve.  We hope you and the senior members will join them.”

Thank you for your attention to this most serious matter.

Sincerely,

 
James Hathorn

I cannot commit treason, said Franklin to the Parliament. I cannot commit treason against the King, because I am not his subject. I am an American,

 WE PIN THIS NOBLE BANNER ON THE DOOR OF THE OFFICE OF ONE ERIC HOLDER, ATTORNEY GENERAL, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA



Flag of Texas.svg



    We cannot commit treason against the United States of America, because we have not conspired to overthrow the government or structure of that Nation.  What has happened to the United States of America is something that she has done to herself.   Our primary allegiance is owed to another place, because while we accept the fact that we lost the War Between the States, due to the willingness of the Union side to throw recently arrived Irish immigrants onto Confederate bayonets,  we have never withdrawn from the constant belief that all governmental control is best kept weak, and best kept within reach of a well-armed citizenry.
 
    To be within reach of ones government,  that government which has the greatest control of the ventures and adventures of its populace, it is best that that government be local, and certainly nothing beyond or larger than  a large old European Duchy or one of those pitiable European nations locked into the small corral of socialist bondage.
 
     The Americans have moved steadily, since the War Between the States, and more especially since 1933, on a path that has contradicted the intentions and functions of government as set forth in the Constitution of that great and noble Nation.  That entity was founded from within the clouds of expended gunpowder and upon the sacred grounds blessed by the blood of its sons.  It was blessed by many favours by Providence.
 
     The cause of the War against the Crown was, quite simply, haughtiness and arrogance, on the part of the Crown and Parliament.   They knew inside their brains and souls  that they were strong and that the colonists were wrong.   In an Empire where they could show the highest regard for a "king'' of an unknown island in the Pacific where breadfruits could be harvested, the British betters could show only slight regard for the Welsh and the Scots, no regard for the Irish, and even less for the Americans.
 
     We point out these failings as they now repeat themselves.    The American Constitution has been folded and stretched to the point that the words have begun to change meaning.  The people who run the affairs of the populace have no problem engaging in the most ridiculous contortions.  To wit:
    
      Article I -  Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a
                           Religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging
                           the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right
                           of the   people peaceably to assemble, and to
                           petition the Government for a redress of grievances.....


 ......becomes something that means that manger scenes on a common are prohibited.   Any displays of a religious nature become verboten because the many might offend the few.  Somehow, the will and the ability of the few to offend the many became, over the years, more important.
     This is in spite of the fact that, in America, things moved along with simple abrasiveness between and among the many and varied views of the Cosmos and the deities emanating from those precincts with surprisingly little difficulty, relative to other heterogeneous cultures.   It seems to have had much less bloodletting than what the English had enjoyed only a few score years before the establishment of the United States of America.
     One is humoured, for instance, that so much killing, beheading, yelling, and screaming could accompany, even to this day, people of an Anglican Church and a Roman Church  having an argument over the importance of one bishop or another, between two Denominations that share but a hair's breadth in difference.   At least they were no so long ago.

     But our differences have become more grave here on this Continent.  It has become an issue of whether we shall be relegated to the role of laboratory mice, to be ruled by social engineers playing the role of the mad professors, or if we are to live as freemen and sovereigns  as sons of the Creator.

     We prefer to live, and we must live, apparently, grouped together among ourselves, abiding by a social compact between each of us with others of us.
     However,   we now find that within the precinct of Washington, District of Columbia there is a disposition to impose at every turn,  rules, prohibitions, licensings, permitting requirements, compliance demands, taxation for projects which we oppose as a people, and taxation and deployment of our citizens to wars that are not declared.
      Over the past 20 years citizens of Texas have been deployed and have helped win three different undeclared wars, and all three wars have been won, make no mistake.   Much, if not most of the victory was secured by Texians and people drawn from the States of the old Confederacy.   While we do not disregard in the least the contributions of the millions of others, we do point out, as Texians,  that we have a particular resentment as we watch this present Administration and its governance throw away these victories, however complicated, and allow the gains made both for the United States of America and the countries where we invested so much. t0 be squandered.
     The compulsion of the Democrat Party and its leaders, especially those found in the United States Congress and in this present administration to allow the gains made during these wars to dissolve like sand castles built too close to the high tide reflects the innate, intuitive, and instinctive anti-American mentality of the present administration.

     We could await new elections, but there is little recourse.   One party is bound and determined to follow the road to perdition that is mapped out by the socialist elitists.  Perpetual deficits, perpetual stagnation, perpetual demagoguery, and perfect control over each least and greater aspect of every person's life is the aim of these intellectuals.  They know nothing and understand less.  Their supposition that they, and they alone, know the proper deployment of the time of each person's allotment on this Planet bespeaks that perfect arrogance of the perfectly ignorant.  They are certain that they are the first ones to have discovered the magic method of governance.
     And, there is another party that seems ever disposed to lose gracefully and search for another sword to render to the enemy to formalise each defeat.

    And there are the Libertarians, even those who are natural and common law types who have gained some place in the Washington, D.C. environment. They seem to offer something  that is very similar to our traditional values, but it is  tinged with a kind of respect for upper-class anarchy that would replace In God We Trust on our currency with "I'm Okay, You're Okay".

     There are those who see these machinations in Washington, D,C. as a form of conspiracy; that both political parties are actually the same under the control of ten or one thousand very powerful people who know where all the controls are and how to operate them.   There are others such as this writer, who point to the historical truths.   Among  those truths is that there have been many  who thought they are in control, and almost all  arrived at unfortunate endings.

     Here, in Texas, we do not care any longer what transpires in Washington, D.C. in increasing numbers.   We cannot commit treason, because we are Texian.   We are reassured in our conviction because we witnessed the Attorney General of the United States of America essentially declare War upon our Country.   When we were finally liberated by  a condescentious Supreme Court in their determination that the time had long passed for any real value for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to be applied to Texas, the Attorney General was quick to notify the American public that he is poised to file suit against the Republic of Texas due to Texas's continued and demonstrable pattern of racial and/or ethnic discrimination in terms of accessing the right to vote.

     It is a form of derangement.  Texas has Black people who are Republicans representing districts that are majority White in the Texas Congress.  Texas has Latins who are Republicans who have represented and continue to represent ethnically mixed districts in the United States Congress.   Texas has 75 per cent of its territory and about that same number of its citizenry under Republican control byCounty and incorporated entities.  In those areas, perhaps one or two per cent of the public corruption takes place within the Republic of Texas.   The Democrats have about 25 per cent of the territory, counties, and incorporated entities and about the same percentage of the Republic's population.  And, they have about 98 per cent of the public corruption that is committed in the Republic.
     There is absolutely no restraint placed against any citizen of this entity in terms of accessing and casting a ballot in any election.   The complaint arises strictly from areas where ultra-leftist operatives, trying to instigate unrest, especially of an ethnic or racial nature, try to point out preposterous scenarios that could possibly keep a 143 year old "Hispanic" from being able to vote.   It is outlandish, impossible, ridiculous, insulting, and a form of pernicious mendacity that we, as Texians, reject categorically and totally.

     The mere fact that a member of the Executive Department of the Government of the United States of America, to wit: Eric Holder, would level such a charge and threaten this entity with legal action essentially serves as a foundation for dissolution of Union.  It absolutely justifies our resolve and our correct conclusions.
     With the Mexicans we have our problems, but we also have our solutions.   We also have our good times, fond memories, sound friendships, and much more positive than negative freight in our bags.   We can conduct our own arguments and agreements with them much better than can the Central Government in Washington, D.C. no matter who is residing in the White House.
   We particularly resent that we are lectured on ethnic and racial matters, when the  Attorney General, has been held in Contempt of Congress for various administrative and moral failures not the least of which have been failure to comply with subpoenas and lying under oath....a felony.
     And concerning the Mexicans, Eric Holder, as Attorney General, has never adequately or even minimally, explained how guns that he authorised to be placed in the hands of bloodthirsty cartel gunmen managed to be involved in the killings of hundreds of innocent collateral civilians caught between cartel confrontation, or in confrontation between cartel elements and the Mexican military.
     Eric Holder and his Government Union thugs under his supervision fed hundreds of what they thought would be untraceable weapons, many of them easily automaticised, into the hands of the drug cartels.  The intent was clearly to establish the notion that  these firearms were being sold by gun dealers in Arizona.   The problem is that the firearms were being bought or taken by the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents under the premise that they were going to be used in a renewal of a variation of the Bush administration's "Wide Receiver" program that fed weapons to the cartels with tracking chips.
     Bush's administration had some success, co-ordinating with the very reliable Mexican Army and Naval Infantry until suddenly the Army had to advise the American Justice Department that the cartel people  had figured out that the firearms they had gained were "chipped".   Agents involved were withdrawn and the program discontinued overnight.
    The Obama initiative, handled by the proven liar and prevaricator Eric Holder, was designed simply to show that American firearms sellers and buyers were untrustworthy and the ATF was therefore, by executive order, going to shut down all private firearms and ammunition sales.

     The fact is that the Obama people and Obama himself were unaware that the Mexicans have a fairly good forensic ability.  It is a form of bigotry that the Obama people and Obama had this opinion.   But suffice to say when large numbers of dead and wounded children, women, men, and semi-honest cops, and honest cops, and heroic soldiers and heroic naval infantrymen are being tabulated as the days went by, the Mexican authorities were puzzled by the fact that the weapons traced back to the ATF.
    And, they had no co-ordination agreement.   The Army and Naval Infantry had all but a perfect record in such co-0rdination and was confused about having been left out of the loop.   The Obama administration has never responded to the issue, choosing instead to say that it was (a) classified as a matter of national security, and then later (b) guns that had been supplied by private parties after illegal sales by gun shops and dealers, probably....which was a lie, or (c) on national Spanish language television during the 2012 presidential campaign, by saying that he had inherited the program from the Bush Administration and shut it down early in his administration. 
 
  And all the innocent dead and wounded Mexicans?   Since Obama and the Democrats and Eric Holder care so very much about civil rights and for "Hispanics", it is odd that there has  not been one word of acknowledgement or lamentation.   Another form of lying.
   All of those involved at the field level have been either allowed to retire under full pensions or have been promoted to higher paying positions in Washington, D.C. to serve out their days.  It is, to be sure, a peculiar punishment, or perhaps it is a reward for not divulging or testifying accurately about the particulars of this horrid episode.

    Amazingly, these are the least of his offenses against the old and noble Constitution of the American Union. Before,  he had  specialised in things like the dirty business of arranging the obtaining of Presidential Pardons, as in the Marc Rich case with Hillary and William Jefferson Clinton, during the latter's last hours in office in 2001.

     As an orginal apologetic for the increasingly obvious need for Texas to withdraw and join the sisterhood of Independent Nations, I submit these observations as a call to passive and active measures to the end of a deserved independence from the continued abuse by rule by bureaucrat and decree.

In this I believe.

Heading Back South X Southwest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



   We have bought most of the goodies required to keep the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre running for a bit longer.  Bebe the Labrador will be glad to see me...at least for a few minutes.  The other dog, Sonsa, will still probably be just as un-trusting and suspicious.   The cats will not even wake up, from their landing spots on the rocking chairs on the corridor, but about an hour later the tri-coloured cat...a calico....will come and tell me that Alvaro has not fed her once in the two weeks that El Gringo Viejo abandoned her to the mean master.   That is the signal for me to serve her some milk.  Just a couple or three thimbles-full is enough for Calandria to feel as though she has things back on track.
    We named her Calandria (in English - Oriole), because of her combination of principally orange, black, and white.  She is not a very friendly cat, nor is she particularly unfriendly.  She has taken to following me down to the Rio Corona on my daily morning walks, however.
 
    This trip will involve a little repair and restoration work.   It will also allow me to pull a little of my own weight by taking a traction wheel of a lawn-mower that finally wore out....not the gear....but the tread and face of the tire after 20 years of service.  Strange.   Our neighbour could not bring himself to  get rid of the mower so I was asked to find the drive wheel in Gringolandia.  We did, and it cost about 50 dollars.   Because of the continuous favours our neighbour provides us, we shan't charge him a farthing, but we are almost certain that this will only provoke more generosities on their part.
 
    Such is the nature of pleasant friendships which are far too few in these days.
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 

    There was an interesting thing that happened while we were doing a bit of shopping for repair supplies for our roof area near the chimney in the back of the Quinta.  Everything we bought at Home Depot was either made in USA or Hecho en Mexico....there was no money sent to the Red Chinese.  Some caulking, a bit of silicon sealing spray for the concrete part of our roof that needs a bit of re-plastering and sealing, a couple of light bulbs, and some fertiliser sticks for our garden.    The above-mentioned traction wheel was also made in USA.
     Because of the surprise at Home Depot, we checked several things and found that they were made somewhere, frequently in the United States, but none were made in Red China.   Why the big turn-around?   It would be good to find out.   Perhaps the inconvenience of copyright theft, cost of shipping, and the out-of-control price changes and labour obstinacy that has been raising its ugly head for the past 30 years.  Or perhaps it is the poor quality and variable quality that never seems to improve longer than for a few weeks before falling back to below third world quality again.
 
   Perhaps it was all just a lucky quirk.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     We shall strive during this episode to send or bring pictures of our area.  We will try to take the very mundane pictures, more of a portrait of our near neighbours and general environment, so that you all might feel more at home with our peculiar, yet pleasant, reality.
 
     If the opportunity presents itself, perhaps a few shots of our nearby capital city will be in order.   We will put in a couple of studies of street scene of the Ejido of Francisco I. Madero and the Estacion de Santa Engracia.
 
One more transmission should be able to flow from my magic fingertips before departure.   Please stand by.

Okay Scruffy, where is Scooby Doo?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     We had no luck with either of the suspects.  They lawyered up immediately.
So, we ask all OROGs to be on the lookout for a white male, approximately 17 to 50 years of age, with a large dog, probably a Great Dane, who speaks with some considerable accent or impediment.   While they are not armed, they are dangerous, especially to themselves and anyone in their close proximity due to a general clumsiness and irrational response to almost any outside stimulus. 
 
 
[Shaggy_scooby_wnsd2.jpg]
 These suspects were stopped in Des Moines
.  But, the BOLA order and the APB were right
The problem was that the people were almost
exactly what we were looking for.   It turned out
that they are the doubles and stunt people for the
original Scooby Doo and Scruffy.  Incredible
likeness.  But, finger prints don't lie.
Paw prints don't either.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Edward Snowden
This is a Geographically Challenged, apparently homeless
person who said during his original interrogation that he
had no idea where any dog named Scooby Doo was or is.
He continues to be a person of interest to Interpol and a
number of other police and government agencies.
Authorities continue to monitor him to see if a dog appears.
*****update****
The mother of Scruffy says that she thinks this might well be her son.
She is flying tomorrow to Russia to make a positive identification.
She also says that no one has seen hide nor hair of Scooby Doo over there. 
 
 
We thank all readers for joining in to help with this search.   Children throughout the world are concerned that since the issue began with this Scruffy look-alike, and his irrational behaviour, that he might in fact be the real Scruffy, and that perhaps there may have been an issue over residuals or some other point of contention.   It is known that Scruffy and Scooby Doo each had the other covered on a 1,000,000.00 USD Insurance agreement, plus an assignment of estate testament, each awarding the other with his estate.   So, as we wait for DNA to come back on our geographically challenged person, we'll keep an eye on things as well.

Do it this way, not that way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


THE PROBLEM:
 
 
The childish, churlish pretender continues to try to convince people that the Stalinist and/or Keynesian approach to economic progress and income distribution is the solution for all the problems that the socialist and governmental interventionist policies of days before have caused.
 
    Obama suggests that we must "invest" by printing more money, into green technology, into worker training for the new technology, into advanced higher education, and that old favourite, infrastructure.
 
    And, the corollary of course is the necessity to tax the rich in such a way that they must pay their fair share, along with the corporations that waste money on executives and private jets.
 
CHIOIRS OF THE DULL, AKA - WHITE HOUSE FOCUS GROUPS:
     That is the spiel.   That is the pitch.  It sells to dull people who think and speak in trite, meaningless phrases.   The White House and the Democrat National Socialist Wehrmacht bring together Choirs of the Dull and have "conversations" with the members of those choirs.   The "minders" and the refreshment servers ("more Kool-Aid? more Kool-Aid, anyone?) really don't give a flying flip about what the dolts are saying.   They are listening to prepositional phrases and dangling chains of words that can be used in Obamaspeech.    Dull titles and words that really stick into the nodding, understanding of the choir members, although they have no idea what the words mean.    The words need not be especially important  in any meaningful way, they only need to send the tingle down the leg, or make some dull dolt nod in serious agreement.   "As your president, I have taken on the polluters and the profiteers".   Such gibberish is the finest fluff of demagoguery.  Things like "hard-earned money", "safety-net",  "the middle-class", "affordable health care for all", "pay their fair share", "invest in the future", "teach Washington that people are hurting", and all such bilge.   Hope and Change?
 
    These words and phrases are the ingredients of Obama's speeches and press conference demogogothons .
 
    The trillions did not work.   The money that was shipped mainly into the hands of Obama's biggest donors and into the hands of Obama's biggest supporters (labour unions, parasitic addicts to public assistance) did not "pump prime" the economy.   It remains in such a precarious condition that Bernacke dares not to raise interest rates for fear of bringing on a full collapse of an economy addicted to free money as much as any addict puking in the gutter is near death throes from lack of a heroin hit.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE SOLUTION:


 
     The most effective AND efficient way to solve the problem of sluggishness in any economic situation, of course, is to eliminate taxes on all businesses, from large corporations to the smallest mom and pop place selling party balloons and favours.
     Why take the money from these entities and people and send it to Washington, D.C. to go through a labyrinth of pipes, tubes, conduits, and rabbit holes?   The result will be a blind camel with his feet on backwards who has to be fed via IV for the rest of his 40 years of life.....and who is allergic to water.
 
     The companies large and small can and will take the money that was not forced at the point of a gun (IRS) from them and astutely deploy those resources that each business entity thinks or knows will produce an ever more desirable outcome for the business, and also for the staff that composes the heart, soul, and brain of any business.
 
     Reducing taxes on the middle and upper income people, preferably by abolishing the IRS and establishing a moderately low national terminal purchaser sales tax, and then allowing the central government to fully atrophy by attrition of employees would be the best route.  Second best would be to reduce the IRS taxes to 10 per cent across the board on everyone.  Even the welfare recipients would have to pay back 10 per cent.
 
     Only the War Department and the independent Coast Guard would be exempt from the death by atrophia, although that Department would be carefully monitored for examples and incidents of waste and fraud.
 
     The elimination of the EPA and various of the regulatory agencies would also help.  Local regulation and reasonable environmental practices would be much more well handled if the agencies were to be closer to the people who are affected by the environmental conditions in that area.
 
   If this were the lay of the economic land, there is no doubt that there would be an economic explosion, the likes of which has never been seen...up to and including the "Roaring 20s" or the Reagan Recovery that began in 1982 with nearly insignificant cuts in the income tax rates. 
 
   That's that.   Taking money out of the private sector and giving it to Solyndra does not work.   Leaving money in the private sector drives employment, wages, and innovation.   Disability, SSI, Unemployment compensation, and food stamps, and such things just do not fuel an advanced economy.  Sorry, Nancy.
 
  The only problem is, with the above solution set, the National Socialists would not be able to control and condemn.
 
  Using the system we are proposing, the economic activity of the Republic of Texas would almost certainly increase steadily at the rate of 8 per cent per annum for eight to ten years, and then at a rate of 4 - 6 per cent thereafter all other things being equal.   The Republic of Texas would, of course, continue to prohibit any form of deficit spending or bonded indebtedness being addressed by the general fund for any purpose.

There we have it.  The whole speech takes four minutes, and it can be put into action to-day.   Congressional passage and a signature from the president...y vamonos.

Phoney scandals?  Phoney scandals?    Allow that El Gringo Viejo should opine.  There is terribly little phony about 4 dead American State Department assignees in Libya.   There is absolutely nothing phony about up to nearly 500 dead Mexican innocents and heroes killed by a gun walking scheme meant to initiate an offensive on private firearm ownership in the United States of America.   There is nothing phony about up to 14 dead Libyan government militia who were chewed up by the attack that killed the 4 above-mentioned American State Department personnel.   It is not phoney that the American public had to hear the truth from a Libyan interim President about the situation, 36 hours after the affair, and simultaneously listen to lies from the Las Vegas Kid and (Sir Edmund)Hillary for almost a month....backed up by other liars who were desperately trying to keep the egg off of the face of the president, during his re-election campaign.
 
     Phoney scandals?   The little Republican witch from Delaware had her tax information breached during her campaign.  The IRS released information to a Delaware state comptroller about her tax information.  The information was incorrect, it was determined to be incorrect, but the Democrat-lackey state employee released the information to the press anyway.   Both the IRS official and the Democrat-lackey state employee knew the information was incorrect, but they released it to the press anyway.   Phoney?
 
    Several hundred grass-root activist organisations had their applications for tax exempt status sat upon by the IRS non-profit processing department.  No action was taken beyond the demanding of impertinent and inappropriate compliances for information that most frequently was not within the right or purview of the IRS to know or have.   "When you pray, what do you pray for?" is not really an IRS-type question, unless there is a scandal brewing.
 
     Occupy Wall Street?   No compliance, no problem, no nothing.  Leftist organisations that are famous for violating non-profit rules, campaign laws, and accounting regulations?  No oversight.   No punishment.  No admonitions.
 
     The President of the United States, on a live broadcast, during the last presidential campaign, on a major Spanish language network, being interviewed by two liberal anti-American Latin reporters, when asked about the "Fast and Furious" program identified it as something that he inherited from the Bush Administration and it was also something that Eric Holder shut down once he learned about it.    The response was such a blatant lie that had any Republican said it, he/she would have been immediately taken out, wrapped in duct tape, put on a rust-bucket trawler, floated out to sea, and dumped into the shark farm.
     Of course, the president was facing Mitt Romney and his crack team of political advisors, and they want to have pillow fights with nice, soft fluffy pillows even as the opposition is firing 105mm Howitzers right into our eye sockets.   A person can pretty much tell what the outcome is going to be.   But it is a scandal!   The best counts show that many, many innocents and heroes have been killed by the firearms that Eric Holder and the thugs at the ATF who did such a good job at Mount Carmel that they figured they should do it again (anything to justify disarming private American firearms owners).   And they did do it again.
    Is is a scandal that they would arrange for firearms to be placed into the hands of cartel scum who have been proven to have absolutely no souls so that those same guns would ultimately have to wind up being used to kill American law enforcement personnel or, of less importance to the ATF, common  nobodies like American citizens who are not as important as the ATF agents.   Who should control all the guns, after all?    The ATF, right?   The totalitarians like Obama and Holder think so.
    If it weren't a scandal, then why do they have to lie about it?   It is an avalanche of hypocrisy.   We love "Hispanics" say the Obamatrons and Democrat National Socialists...but a few hundred dead meskins?   Well, a little collateral damage can be a good thing,  I guess they would say.   Little matter that they were killed in cross-fires between cartels with firearms literally placed in the hands of cartels members by the ATF and E.   If a Republican had done it, they would have taken him out and embalmed alive with battery acid.
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The true phoney scandal is the "War on Women" the Democrats have declared that the Republicans have declared on women:    The Marxist-feminist women's movement decides what issues are women's issues and immediately says that the patriarchal, fascist conservative tea-baggers are opposed to women's access to reproductive rights.
 
War on Women?
     There's Hillary and Huma.   They are happy because they have battle scars, put on them by their husbands.  And yet, they are fools to stay with them in one respect, but in the other perspective, the only way they can crawl to the top of the garbage pile and be important is by suffering the public insults and degradation that would cause any non-insane woman to turn on her heel and head for the nearest divorce lawyer.  These guys are not one-night mistake type of hubbys.  Both of these guys are proven demonstrable perverts...and it is only a matter of time before Weenie will join Billy Jeff in the ranks of violent offenders.

About Planned Parenthood's successes in the War Against Women:
      They told us incessantly that there needs to be more "openness" about sexual matters and that more "education" and clinical understanding of pregnancy and responsible sexual activity among the adolescents and tbbballalab blah, blah, blah.   The more pills are circulated, and the more that is taught, it could be demonstrated, the more venereal disease, AIDS, "surprise" pregnancies, and "un-fathered" babies are produced.   Amazing.   The more we de-mystify the female, and the more naked we present them, and the more protected from pregnancy we make them, it is really amazing, Grace;   the more pregnant and infected with strange and disgusting maladies they become.  Thanks, Planned Parenthood. Thanks, AFDC.  Thanks for all those things that help to facilitate our false sense of being taken care of for free.

    The words "openness", "education", and "understanding" are buzzwords as we know for indoctrination.   The Girl Scouts of America is daily putting its message to girls more and more in focus with that of Planned Parenthood.

Also, by the way:
 
  Any woman as dull, arrogant, incompetent, mendacious, violent, narcissistic, criminally disposed,  and unpleasant as Hillary Rodham could never be taken seriously without a dull electorate that is fuelled and helped along by ignorance and the vitriol of deranged radical leftist feminism.   That same psychotic fervour helped push Obama across the finish line in 2012, and we shall see if it will help him again in 2014.  I shall never forget Hillary Rodham spending tax dollars to broadcast a radio announcement into Pakistan, condemning a disrespectful, disgusting  video on YouTube, and citing it as the cause of understandable and justifiable reaction by the great mass of poor Moslems, who are downtrodden and disrespected by America and Americans.

Nancy Pelosi Spoke of "Draining the Swamp"

    The only problem, Nancy, when you drain the swamp, you always run across things like Mary Jo Kopechne's diary.  And a person becomes a bit overwhelmed with the fact that, in terms of overall corruption, the Democrats always cross the 100 yard finish line long before the Republicans ever leave the chocks.
 
JOY BEHAR
no particular accomplishments, but
 one brilliant and insightful
 comment about Democrats
 and other Leftists

We especially liked this picture
 provided by ACME Sandblasting
     Further, because the Republicans and more especially Conservatives,  tend not to be irrational white-trash, they also tend to scruff-up and render their own cads and call the pound on them.   Sometimes they do it too quickly, in fact.

     One is called upon to remember the inspired words of Joy Behar, (we paraphrase a bit) "Well, of course I have the right to make fun of the Republicans.  They are the hypocrites, always talking about their morality and their goody-goody stuff.  They are all hypocrites.  So when they get caught, we need to ridicule them and taunt them.
     We liberals  and Democrats don't have to apologise for anything because we don't have any morals.  We don't worry about morality."

    So here is Anthony, who has absolutely no CEO experience of any kind.   And he pretends to be prepared to run the city with the biggest budget of all the cities in the world.   He has nary the nearest notion of  the requirements of this office.   Nanny Bloomberg or whatever his name is has been a horrid arrogant, preachy dolt, tolerating things that he should have dealt with quickly and dealing with things that really are none of his business.   But, Mon Dieu! He is a billionaire of sorts and can play ping pong with eight hands at the same time...he's a CEO.   And if Chantel can tell me that she has a "B" average.....then Bloomberg has to be given at least a "B-".   The twirp Anthony does not have the "little grey cells'' of the Belgian Detective or even Chantel, in all probability.

Congressman Gerry Studds
who represented Cape Cod
and adjacent areas, was
implicated in an affair
with a congressional
page, who was at the time
sixteen years old.  The boy
had quite a lurid tale to tell
and the story was covered
up quickly. However,
enough had leaked out so
that Studds ultimately had
to leave his office.
Massachusetts being
what it is, however, the
Congressman ran for his
old chair again and was
given overwhelming
approval for having had
a homosexual affair with
a minor under the age of
consent.   He was given a
standing ovation by his
Democrat colleagues due
to his "bravery".
 
 
    As a Texian Nationalist, it bothers me nought that this piece of human debris could be elected mayor of New York.   Look at their city government.  Look at the incessant tales of corruption and mob control.  Look at the fact that New York City eats from the plates filled upstate and that not counting Social Security payments, 40% of the population is parasitic bloodsucking thugs, slugs, and criminals receiving  AFDC, rent subsidies, food stamps, and free lottery tickets.   But, at least, Pervoman, since you know Hillary, and your wife puts in a good word for you as a bona fide pervert, liar, and incompetent who is judged fit by the Clinton - Frank - Studds, rule, you can have a small garage apartment in Sir Edmund's house in Chappaqua.   That way you can beat the USD3,000/month for an efficiency in Brooklyn while you plan your run for the United States Senate.

Meanwhile you can maintain your place in the Democrat Hall of Pride and Fame:
 
  We have people who have driven off of bridges and left the female occupant of the vehicle to either drown on purpose or through cowardice.  His brother made a mistake and drove his PT boat into the path of a Japanese Destroyer.  In the aftermath Lt. John Kennedy swam and led his surviving mates to a nearby island, towing an injured crew member by a strap clutched between his teeth.   It was an act of heroism that could quiet a noisy crowd.  Seven miles of towage by his teeth.
 
 
 
 
 



File:Ted Kennedy, official photo portrait crop.jpg
Thug, bully, drunk, raped a
waitress with Chris Dodd's
help in a popular Washington
restaurant, and of, course
stood up for women when
he drove Mary Jo Kopechne
into the Chappaquiddick
 Sound but, that was way back
in 1969....so, like they say,
"What Difference Does It Make?"
Involved in numerous dalliances
and finally drove his wife of
many children totally insane.
Revered and applauded at every
turn, because being a good
Roman Catholic, he fought for
the right of every female to have
as many abortions as need be. 
    But Teddy Kennedy ran from his scene at best, and according to him, swam against a 4 - 6 mile per hour tidal current (impossible...but, whatever) across Chappaquiddick Sound...for about 40 minutes.  Once ashore, and a delay of almost a day....maybe it was two, he suggested to the authorities that there might be some relationship between him and his auto that was in the drink back at the bridge...and, oh!  there might be a girl in the car or somewhere around there.   Teddy Kennedy's escapades were never dealt with in any serious way.   Almost all were totally covered up.  The many that were exposed were usually scrubbed so as to minimise the damage to Mr. Kennedy.   So, he is the only woman killer who ever had the title of "Lion of the Senate" due to his ferocious defence of the poor.  Which meant, of course, that he put other peoples' money where his mouth was.   Was known to be sober after the age of 18 well over six times.   Check the web for the story about waitress and her hot date with the Lion of the Senate and the co-author of the Dodd-Frank bill.....Sen. Chris Dodd.


 
 
 
 
 


Bill Clinton.jpg
William Jefferson Blythe Clinton
Perhaps a greater cad than even
Aaron Burr.  Thug, woman
beater, accused of many, many
assaults and unwanted
offers of attention.   Severely
beat the granddaughter of
an English Lord while
on scholarship at Oxford.
Was arranged for a dismissal
by J. William Fulbright and
the United States States
Department.
Over 140 people of the first
and second degree of interaction
with this man have died,
prematurely.   But do not
despair, his wife is equally
involved in it all, if not
moreso.

This does not even begin to touch the slime that William Jefferson Blythe Clinton is, was, a will forever be.  People can say that he is a lovable lug...but he is not.  He is a chronic pathological liar.   He is that rare combination of a sociopath and a psychopath.   He will lie when the truth would do him better.
    Please study reputable analysis of his activities and his horrid wife's activities over their years of "public service".  One night of reading....and we mean reasonable accounts...not kooky, tin-hat wearing nut-case tales.   This man was lucky to have had a body of lackeys in the press to cover and explain away all of his massive evil actions.   Two things really stand out.  During testimony before a grand jury, he was famous for responding to a question with this answer, "Well, I don't know.  It all depends upon what the meaning of "is" is.
     His defence team...with many cases floating simultaneously, once argued that "We really shouldn't concern ourselves with all those other charges.  Those activities occurred in the past."  Hence, the Clinton criminal law legal doctrine that a person can only be tried for crimes that he committed in the future.

Barney Frank
 
Where does a guy start?  He had an apartment in downtown Washington D.C.  He took in a roomie who ran a male prostitution ring.  Barney new nothing of it, although it was a three room apartment with a telephone ringing all the time. He gave his "friend" the Congressional Parking Privilege tag, and also  fixed literally thousands of dollars worth of parking tickets.
That offence alone is enough to have a Republican resign his seat in Congress. He would not be re-elected in his primary.  Barney's "friend" also was a drug salesman and had a long criminal record.  Barney, like Sergeant Schultz, "knew nothing",   He like Studds, was re-elected with an overwhelming majority and honoured for being "brave".  This is the Democrat notion of honour.  This is why Pocahontas Warren can say she's an Indian to her university employer when such a tale is borne by white squaw with forked tongue....she takes the extra emoluments for being Xenahontas the Indian Warrior Princess during the senate campaign...the OROG guessed it...Massachusetts again...and of course the people of that fair commonwealth elected her.   Her policies are to tax the 1% for everything and give all the free money to Democrat donors and constituents.  Quite a platform.    It you have a business...you didn't build it, we did. Etc.
