Tired of It

Yes, daughter, George Bush just took

 one vacation after another.  Not me. though.

But, it is tough, evaluating all these Red

 Chinese bicycles for Chairman Mao.

Suggestions for O'bama

     Dear Mr. O'bama, why don't you try confiscating a couple of Auto Manufacturers.   Have them build autos....like the coal-powered VOLT?  Tell the little people that they will help the environment by burning more coal and tell them at the same time that coal-fired electrical generation plants will have to be eleminated....for being too contaminative.
      After over a year on the market, not even 2,000 have been sold.   The auto loses its 40,000 investment (price, plus tax, title, insurance, etc.) at the rate of 65% before the ink dries on the title transfer application.   It is an environmental disaster....essentially a coalburning automobile....with a 1,000 pound battery that cannot be recycled.

      We can see it now, Mr. O'bama....on E-bay.....2012 VOLT Goremobile, makes 30 miles on an 7 hour recharge.   Home utility bill will go up by 400 dollars per month.    Too toxic for landfill, garbage truck will not take it away. Will pay anyone 1,500 dollars to drive vehicle into Lake Michigan. PLEASE NOTE:  Actual use indicates that the re-charge is much more electricity consumptive than GM or other analysts indicate.   Much greater.

       Why don't you try some shovel ready project.   Like all those bridges that George Bush ruined?   We need a lot of good union men out making 56.0o/hr driving front-end loaders around.   Ten percent of that will go to the union bosses and half of that will go to the Employ a Democrat Party Operative fund.

      Then, we could do a bit of taxing the rich, because they don't need the money anyway.    That will also solve all the problems, as well......it always does....if not....maybe a few "re-education centers" could be openned.

       Later, we should have the two-level JOBS....(Just Official B.S.) Bill....Whereby you could order an increase of the minimum wage to $24.36/hour while  prohibiting the hiring of anyone who fails to wear his pants four feet or more under his butt, and increase the term for unemployment compensation (unemployment compensation???    Unions for the UnEmployed are next...like in France??) from 99 weeks to 99 months...AND increase Food Stamp coverage to anyone who would rather be a consuming slug than a self-sufficient person.

      Then, require that all children under the age of 44 be insured by their parent's policy, that would help.    And....we could require that all minorities be required to report to ACORN's Midnight Flashmob Cracker-Beating programs.

       Anyone refusing to join could be made to carry Michelle's train around while she's on vacation.   When that line of service has enough people, then the others can work as your Aunt Zeituni Onyango's maids and butlers.  She can still be found in the illegal alien protection program, Boston Housing Projects, under complete public assistance....while in her perpetual, eternal appeal process against deportation back to Kenya.   You denied knowing her before it was revealed that you had known her and referred to her as your favourite aunt....kindalike the Kerry defence...I voted against it before I voted for it. 
      But, based upon the proclivity to .....shall we say...."adapt" to the life-style to which they have become accustomed....Michelle and Zeituni do seemed to need a lot of extra "inputs" in terms of being waiting on and taken care of.   A couple of hundred thousand jobs could be "saved" that way. 
      Aunt Zeituni was not the mid-wife auntie who caught you when you were born...right?   It was a different one....the one in Hawai'i...right?

      And remember to blame rich people, the Republicans in Congress, George Bush, and your fat-cat slug socialist friends on Wall Street.   The American public falls for that one fairly easily. 
      Make certain that nobody catches you in the false trap that Bush took office at the beginning of very sharp recession.   Remember that Bush blew up two big buildings in downtown New York and then tried to blame the 1.7 trillion dollar hit on the American economy on some innocent student pilots who just happened to be Muslims.   You have to watch out for the wily Republican contra-revolucionarios and their history re-writes. 

       Thank you, so much, Mr. O'bama for all the hope and change, we could not have been done without you.    (and Michelle)

(and Auntie Zeituni)

President Obama's Aunt Zeituni Onyango lived in public housing as an illegal immigrant for a time because the "system" took advantage of her, she said in a recent interview.
"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me," Onyango said in an interview with CBS affiliate WBZ-TV, scheduled to air tonight and Tuesday night.
"Ask your system," she continued, unapologetically, when asked about the situation. "I didn't create it or vote for it. Go and ask your system."

Ask Not for Whom They Construct the Guillotines....

Uncle Warren Surveys the Future, watching the

International Brotherhood of Guillotine Builders,

AFofL-CIO put the Finishing Touches on one of

 Several  Guillotines designed to punish the Rich

 for having too much.   The judges of what is

"super rich" were Jeremiah Wright,

 Shiela Jackson Lee, and Maxine Waters

Now we have the entertaining picture of a rich old fool who has arrived at the peculiar point of thinking that the Central Government has a better idea about how to spend his money than does he.

      This old fool also thinks that the Central Goverment can actually define what the term "super rich" means.    He thinks it is people who have estates like his or Carlos Slim's.   Barry Soeto thinks that it is any person stupid enough not to be on AFDC, Rent Subsidy, Food Stamps, Unemployment C0mpensation, Medicaid, and in a Midnight Flashmob League.

      The Old Fool in question is gradually losing his bearings....just like the Old Gringo.   Mr. Buffet was heard saying, while this picture was being taken, "Why are they building that guillotine over there?"    At least the Old Gringo knew to respond, "Sir, they are building the guillotine for thee and for me.   They come for our children next.   They have just finished burning down the bakeries." 

      Uncle Warren responded, "I guess that Barry meant that we ourselves were to be the 'shovel ready projects'." 
       We learned later that the panel of judges was appointed by Hillary Rodham who was taken to the blade shortly after naming the illustrious panel.

Ah. Justin, I barely knew Ye, my lad

Peculiar things.   While the politicians posture forever about matter of little import, then pay scant heed or practice  to deceive on issues great and grand, we fail to see things like life.   Life, going on around us.

      This was a very dull weekend in Mexico....our part of it....From Cd. Victoria to Monterrey.   The absence of marked inter-cartel confrontation leads to a lot of human interest stories in the news....and speculation about the up-coming Presidential elections both in Mexico (July - 2012) and in America (November - 2012).

      BUT!  The Really Big News these days is Justin Bieber's arrival at the performance center known as "The Arena" in Monterrey.   When the sales started for independent private purchases of tickets for the event, the tickets sold out in 4 minutes.   These are for tickets purchased on only one credit card and for a maximum of four tickets.  This is done to keep as many tickets as possible headed directly into the hands of the dedicated and deranged Pre-Bimbos known as adolescent females.   Click here for more details  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0M6PEkAzpo  .      Prices for the tickets ranged from dollar equivalent of around 50USD to a little more than 400 USD plus the 16% federal sales tax.   Bundle services were left with very few tickets....and there are two other presentations on the 1st and 2nd of October in Mexico City....also sold out. 

       Now we learned that all the tickets are all gone, within 2 hours.   Group tickets, 2ndary market tickets, everything.    These heifers' video might be typical of the many that were produced for this thing, who knows? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcJ1uHbgjlQ&feature=related      You'll have to wait it out all the way through.   It's funny in a way, sad in a way, good in a way....But there is not space show the OROGs the several hundred home produced videos and even personal webpages ....This particular one was done on 5 May 2011....well after all the ink had dried on the event, so it is really just a celebration more than an exhortation.   It is pretty much silly....except we are looking at lots of time,talent, money, and effort....loyalty on the part of the fans and performer, and something a bit normal....much more refreshing, perhaps than PoopDog Leper Breath and the Ho' Beaters or  Gutslyme and the Electic Toilets.

     The venue for this event, the Arena Monterrey is quite a place...troubled leaving the batter's box and making it to third base....but like a lot of things Mexican...quickly and well finished.   It is situated in a downtown Monterrey  site officially known at the Parque Fundidora which is the old Steel Foundry, shut down about 35 years ago.   The 700 acres of downtown property was finally converted to a Plaza Sesamo (Sesame Street Park), a World Trade Center... "CinterMex"....quite a nice "theatre of access" to and from  Mexican heavy industry....an elaborate family park with advanced aquatic diversion, and so forth.   The Arena is a 50,000,000 facility with "basketball seating" of about 18,000 and "concert capacity" of 56,000 with all exit doors "unblocked and unlocked" as they say.    The Wikipedia summary  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterrey_Arena  about the place is fairly accurate, although the events list is incomplete by about 50% and a bit out of date now.

Thanks for your time this early Monday morning.   Time for me to try to look like something a little better than Howard Hughes on his deathbed.   Thanks for your time, messages, and interest.

Since You Asked

Observations by the Old Gringo about what the Republicans are up to?    Not much, because of the axiom in American politics that 6 weeks is a lifetime.   My rankings by preference?    Not ithat it amounts to much, because any Republican would receive this vote over Hillary Rodham or even Barry O'Bama should he decide to file in all 57 States again.   Rumour has it that he might be going to join the Marine Korpse, or maybe even the France Four In  Lesion (hah! beet the spell czech again!)  just to get away from his mother-in-law.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH4lRzKboeg

(1)   Michele Bachmann - a dumbo such as I....natural law person...

(2)   Herman Cain - someone who just simply understands that the government is not the source of innovation, money, or  positive outcomes.    He is a private sector man and a person who builds solutions from his own heart, brain, soul, and sweat.   A Gentleman...and he is an accomplished singer!

(3)     Santorum

(4)     Governor Perry - Do not presume that this is a walk in the park for the President of the Republic of Texas.   Sen. Hutchinson of the Country Club poofy set of Elephants, really wierd rightwingers who know that George Bush blew up the Twin Towers and who think Perry is an agent for the Royal House of Bourbons and King Juan Carlos, and people who just do not like the guy because they think he is a hayseed, will distribute their votes among a group of GOP pretenders,    Perry is the guy who chose to endorse Guliani in 2008, leaving fellow Confederate, and "reasonable, moderate" disguised as a conservative, Arkansas GovernorHuckabee in the lurch.   Oddly enough, he was Gore's Texas campaign chairman in 1988.    The Old Gringo will vote in the GOP primary, as always, but for Bachmann or Cain.

(5)    Romney  -  Also, like Huckabee, another "reasonable" Republican.  Once again we have to remember that     "Reasonable" is another term for "moderate".   Both terms are used for any Republican who knows that the eventual drift of the culture in the United States is to an improved European statist form of capitalism, whereby certain of the superior race control all assets that are privately owned.   Industry, labour, and social organisation are placed in the hands of bureaucracies that buffer the superior people from the hoi polloi.    These bureaucracies will assure that the people have enough rice and beans, a bit of entertainment, and an apartment to share with people of their own kind.   This "social democracy" provides for equivalent income distribution, and other rewards, like a washing machine for the family of the child who draws the best picture of the Great Leader.

     While the Old Gringo would vote for Romney in the General Elections, and although Romney has a great number of admirable traits, Romney is the lowest point on the Old Gringo's list of favourites.   He did manage to compromise Massachussets into O'bamacare Socialized medicine....as would all "reasonable, adult-thinking" compromisers.   He did this well before the Saint O'bama passed his own  unconstitutional version of the British National Health Nightmare.

Old hulks, waiting to be scrapped

   He also says that he is in favour of taking active measures to solve the problem of "anthropogenerative global climate change".   Like Governor Christi from New Jersey....who shut down all seven of the coal-fired electricity generation plants in his State recently....by executive order...to "do his share"......like Al Gore, who is an expert on Earth - Sun relationships and who loves to ridicule people who think that there are more polar bears at this time than since records of such things have been kept. (There are)
      Finally, concerning Romney, he is another in the long line of 'moderates' who lose elections honorably.   John McCain, Bob Dole, GHW Bush, Gerald Ford...all nice elephants who "know their place" and recognized that drinking vanilla Ensure was a lot better than eating real food.   

(6)     Gingrich, Huntsman, and whoever....Newt was one of the worst check-kiters back during the House scandal about such things in the 1990s.   He also gave one of his preferential passes to Jesse Jackson to some Joint House Congressional Session...(State of the Union or the like)....so that that particular piece of hypocritical human debris would have a place of honour in the Speakers' pantheon....I'll never get over that one.
        He appeared at a "town-hall" meeting (what a horrid overused term, please) with that great defender of Wimmins' Rites, William Jefferson Blythe, and talked about manners of implementing O'bamacare before O'bama had married St. Michelle d'Arc!!!   Run for the restroom and barf!!!

         And Huntsman, who served as O'bama's ambassador to Red China....????   Huntsman, who like all RINOs from Charlie Halleck, Earl Warren, and George H. W. and George W. , is a "reasonable, adult-thinking" conservative Republican.   They all remind me of some impressionist's painting of a sea-scape with old wrecks abandoned on the shore or rotting and decaying at dock.      They are all socialist-lite, huddled behind their electric gates, hoping that they have given the masses enough food-stamps and lottery tickets to be left alone.

It's time for me to crawl back into my cave and drink my Air-wick, and nibble on my No-Doze, to see what other hobgoblins can be conjured up.   Thanks for your time.

The Futility of Compromise

     Why compromise, in its truest form, is impossible during the discussion of these issues.

      (1)     It is none of the central government's business what the level or extent of a citizen's income is.   Once yielding to the Crown's legitimacy in this matter the subject becomes a vassal to the Crown.    To be absolutely in a condition of Liberty, no man, Prince or Pauper, should know or even be able to divine the amount of one's wealth, income, or expenditure.

                      (a)    For the Crown to know these things, it raises immediately the spectre of the designing of methods to implement fairness of outcome.   Fairness of outcome leads immediately to sloth and the sense of entitlement on the part of the slothful.   The Laws of Nature demonstrated this clearly to the earliest of the English Colonials when the first settlements failed miserably while practicing the purest form of social democracy....communism.

                       (b)     We are required as True Americans to practice that to which the Old Gringo refers as communitarianism...the opposite of communism. In communitarianism each person must provide for himself and aid those around him.     Communitarianism is based upon the finest foundations of Judeo-Christianic dogma....love thy neighbour as thyself....In all things render to friend and traveller as you would wish to be rendered thereby....develop one's talents so that you can be measured by your good works and that they might glorify your Father in Heaven.....If four loaves are taken, bring back five.     Communitarianism requires individual positive striving in the addressing of self-interest and fealty to obligations.    It certainly overrides selfishness and avarice as human conditions or motives.

      Communitarianism requires simply....take care of thee and thine;  take care of those whose needs are few and transitory and to whom you might be able to truly aid (ie  a barnraising); and then take care of those who are overwhelmed, are incapable, are infirmed, or who are beset.

      Not the Crown, but the community.   If there is an ill, it is at hand.   Why send to London for attention of an ill in Nottingham?   The Crown might assist with its standing Army and Navy.  That would do well for engineering excercises for later combat and military manuever....training and service simultaneously during a catastrophe...earthquake, hurricane, etc.   It is true that the greater the self-reliance, the greater the preparedness and prosperity of a people.

       In a democratic-process republic,  reasonable fear can be expressed that there can come a majority which will finally vote to take the bakery from the owners and turn that bakery over to the people whose hobby it is to eat.    Those who have unimagineable wealth will more and more require that those who have some riches and prosperity pay the price of feeding those who will finally take possession of and then destroy the both the bakery and the Republic...along with the "trust fund wealthy" like the Kennedys and Rockefellers.     Their guillotine is the street mob already put in place by their own hand, through the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and the Great Society income transfer programs.

Read at all costs

One who knew well the Gulag

      This reasoning is a restatement of others more eloquent.   There are times when eloquence is drawn from the effort to speak or write thoughts in a precise manner.   De Tocqueville, Jefferson, Franklin, Adam Smith, Hayek, Solzenitzen and hundreds of other observers have made these observations over the years. These people feared that  those who felt guilty for having wealth would seek to improve our pleasant American chaos with a "rational" social construct that would be much more efficient in terms of providing for all the little people down below.    The howling of George Bernard Shaw is revered by these people while the wisdom of Rudyard Kipling is thoroughly scoffed.....    www.­kipling.­org.­uk/­poems_copybook.­htm .   Click on to remind yourself of his brilliance at seeing through the diabolical intent of elitists.

       Nor should the super-wealthy, whose fortunes are immune from silly bothers like taxes and investment, be taxed by the crown, neither they nor those of middling and higher incomes drawn from their professions or sweats.   The imposition of taxes, normally proposed by the incomprehensibly wealthy, is designed to keep the hoi polloi out of the "very best" mansions and clubs.   Let them have their local country clubs and drive Lincolns....but they cannot be allowed to 'our precincts'.   Those of us who operate businesses and who have professions might resent the Kennedys and the Rockefellers and the like because of their hypocrisy, but we should not wish for their taxation nor our taxation of earnings, wealth, or effects.    Likewise we should not wish for the taxation of a poor man's legitimate income.   If we choose to make him uncomfortable in his poverty so as to impulse him to industry, then we should also maintain the compact that he should have the fruits of his labour.
       In short, we should all strive to be wealthy and well-to-do.   We should all avoid to the point of greatest pain to be wards of the Crown.   The Crown must not impede the building of wealth and property through taxation of income or property.



     (2)     There is no manner by which we can thrive by allowing madmen to point to the 'moulin de jour' and then have the power to order us to Quixotic attack at all costs.   "Hungry Children" "Sex Education" "Old People Eating Dogfood" "Inequitable Distribution of Wealth"  In each case their presumption of crisis is based upon anecdote and their solution is grounded in madness.
    This debate is impossible any longer because any reasonable statement is immediately taken into surgery, reshaped, and then republished as living proof that the individual making the statement is clinically psychotic, and worse, a racist, and is worse yet a Southern white man who thinks that an eternal intelligent force might have had something to do with the formation of the Universe.     In short, we have delivered our fate, our souls, and our fortunes into the hands of the Crown and his jesters.
       We cannot speak because should someone suggest that the War Between the States was fought more over the gauges of railroad lines than the curse of slavery, he might well be arrested and taken to the nearest  Queebler Quookie Factory.    But...it was.
        And then ....for instance.... We cannot say that there is no such founding statement in the Constitution, even as amended, that calls for the separation of Church and State.    A recent candidate for the United States Senate from Delaware declared same....that there is no such statement....and she was practically boo'd off the stage....howling laughter, booing, snickering...But, she was right.   The United States Constitution, in prohibiting the establishment of a Religion, was essentially assuring everyone that they would not have to support through government payments a nationwide network of Episcopal Churches.    This would have been particularly inconvenient because of the prayer in the Book of Common Prayer for the health and guidance of those in authority, starting with King George III.
    The Old Gringo's great-great-great-great grandfather was one of those who argued in the mid-1810s against the maintenance of the Congregationalist Church as the official Church of Connecticut.   That ancestor was a prominent Methodist minister and served as an elected official in that strange State of Meddlers....and remains such in these as well as in those days.   His arguments were made before the State Legislature as well as other public forums.
    The Olde Gringo borrows from the dreaded Wikipedia with the following:
          

Connecticut was originally founded by Congregationalists who split away from the Massachusetts colony between 1635 and 1636. The first settlers founded three towns on the Connecticut River in Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford. One of the main purposes of the Fundamental Orders was to formalize the relationship between these three towns. The core foundation of the Fundamental Orders incorporates the ingrained religious background of the colony’s founders. They called for “an orderly and decent government according to God” in attempts to pursue “The liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”^[2] Until 1818, the Congregational Church stood as the established church of the state. All Connecticut residents were required to attend church and/or pay taxes to support the Congregational faith. Anyone belonging to another Christian sect such as Baptist, Episcopal, or Quaker, had to provide documentation signed by a church officer indicating attendance and financial support of their separate church in order to avoid paying taxes to the Congregationalists.

     While we neither favour nor oppose the establishment of an official church for a consenting jurisdiction, we do oppose the official aetheism that is presently the policy of the Central Government and the popular culture.    The point here is only that the "well informed" of Delaware guffawed at the Republican candidate suggesting that the Constitution of the United States of America says nothing about "separation of Church and State".    The only mention is in the First Amendment which states that ".....Congrefs 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.....".    Once again this was mainly an attempt to head off any attempt to "establish" as in England even to this day, the Anglican Church as the official church of state.     None of this is terribly important now, it diverges, in fact from the point.

     The point is the following:   "Living Document" jurists have steadily attacked religion and the Christian religion specifically over the years in order to break loose the Republic from its moorings and to allow it to seek a Perfect Heaven formed by the Hand of Man.    Lots of Luck....the next re-make of the French Revolution awaits us.
     This is why compromise is not now possible.   Bi-partisan solutions to the problems created by aetheist socialists cannot be had without making the problem worse.   Riots in Los Angeles?  Maxine Waters puts an earmark on an irrelevant piece of legislation that sends 100 dollars per adult to every address in the census tract where the riots took place....as a form of reparation;   part of the justification being that some of the people could not go down to the welfare offices to update their information and obtain benefits due to the riots.
This is not a joke.
      Gun crimes?   Outlaw guns.   Illegitimate babies?  Pay people who have them....it's not the baby's fault.   When the baby is bled dead in the street 14 years later with a bullet through his head....blame George Bush.    When 400 of the babies terrorize people leaving the Wisconsin State Fair, beating and destroying anyone and  anything they can access....blame the Tea Party.   
       Any solution to the grotesque and horrid problems this nation is facing at this time, formed by "bi-partisanship" will look similar to the animal designed by a committee....the platypus.   It will have about as much influence over those problems as that same animal.

I am Done.
