An admonition

     Once this election is over, and assuming that the Republicans can actually avoid shooting themselves in various body parts, there are other issues to quickly address.   The left will immediately begin a "moderation" and "bi-partisan co-operation" offensive.  The left never quits, the left never tells the truth, and the left will use every measure to forward the effort to put everyone in a shabby Mao suit, except important people like Hillary.

      We must remember to stand vigilant concerning the probable, almost immediate, effort of the Romney White House to "reach across the aisle" by proposing a National Socialised Medicine Initiative Light....so as to "replace" the "bad" socialised medical services legislation with a "good" socialised medicine initiative.    After all, it is good for the parents to pay for their children's insurance until the child is 83 years old.   Old people, like parents, don't need money anyway, and besides there's a sale at the mall.

      Somebody has to pay for Miss Flukie's birth control pills, and it might as well be my daughter, and your daughter, because Miss Flukie wants somebody to pay for them besides herself.   And...of course....if we give the Democrat National Socialist Party just this one little pair of points, they will love us and laud and magnify our names and make sure that we are on the Kwanzaa Card mailing list forever.   And, of course, we can have a group hug and figure out how much more of  the Obama Nationalised Health Initiative we can give them next week.   It will only cost a trillion here and a trillion there, and then they will let us come to the parties at all the right places in Georgetown and Manhattan and the Hamptons and at Martha's Vineyard.   Nancy Pelosi might even give us the address of that wind tunnel where she does her facial exercises.

     It is necessary to keep all the powder, wadding, flint, and ball dry because the galleries of the House and the Senate Chambers will be crawling with Occupy people, Grey Panthers, Cafeteria School Lunch and Starving Children's Dremes-R-Us Peoples' Coalition, and so forth.  The demonstrations will be shrill and the socialist Obsolete Press will be airing article after article about how Republicans are starving granny and her 436 grandchildren.   "You just can't feed them all with one can of dog-food like we used to."

     NARAL will renew calls for requiring all doctors and hospitals to provide mandatory post-partem abortions for children up to the age of 3, so as to take pressure off of the existing feeding stations.   Some of the cafeteria workers, it will be shown, have to serve 40 children a day their allotment of Soylent Green....and the staff of 666 cafeteria workers is exhausted at the end of their  3 hour day.   The 20.6 Richter earthquake is going to be massive.

     And!  The first thing the country club, moderate, reasonable Republicans will want to do is be moderate and reasonable.    And the day will be lost at that point unless we stand tough.    They will threaten us with the idea that they can make a ruling coalition with "moderate" Democrats and push through President Romney's agenda for "reasonable, kinder, gentler,  and nicer change" and we shall have to stand our ground.

     Our worst enemy will not be the Lamumba-Jefferson-Guevara-W.E.B.DuBois Peoples' Alliance for Peace Through Justice.    It will be HEB Grocery Store and the banks and the Society for Protection of Nice Kitties that Purr When We Scratch Their Chinny-Winnies.   Then, of course, we'll have to save Head Start...because so many children rely on it and die without it.    Just a little for college tuition because, otherwise, the universities won't have an excuse to raise their tuition....and a little extra here for Medicaid.....and crop supports....and there's a really good idea some boys have to make  wind-powered solar panels....it's a sure fire deal....

      Okay, you give me 30 billion for my magic underwear solar powered wiring warmer factory in Hawai'i, and I'll vote for your Eskimo Seal Hunters' Poetry Museum and Room of Contemplation....it's only another 30 billion dollars....Eskimoes need poetry too.

       After all, they sent us up here to do things for people.

AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.     We need to begin talking and resolving now to start thinking what are battles should be and taking the offensive.     It would be good to start with the Departments of Energy and  Education.   WHY DO WE HAVE A NATIONAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT?  It is the source of inertia, confusion, pointlessness, and for ETERNAL TEACHING TO THE TESTS, instead of teaching the souls and brains of the "students".    National education policies are a ruination of the concept of pedagogy on many levels.     Presently, no nation spends more on its public education in gross or per "student".    And, because of the other cultural rot....unfathered children....teachers' and education unions.....degenerated disciplinary patterns....and a thousand other reasons, all sponsored by the central government....we have to teach remedial courses to people who have a high school diploma because they cannot reason, read, cipher, or keep from picking their noses when they're talking to the Pope.    The Department of Energy should be reduced by 99.9% and transferred to the War Department, and housed in a three room suite at the Pentagon.   There they could keep a status report current on where the oil, gas, gasoline, other distillates and derivatives are, and what is going on at the refineries in terms of productions. 

     We really need to close ranks on this or we are doomed to follow the script of Gibbons.

Yes, Rush, O'bama has stories of people he helped

     Rush Limbaugh always fails to consult with El Gringo Viejo.   He declared,"Obama hasn't gone around helping people.   Has he?   No!  You can't point out anybody he's helped, can you?"

 

     Yes, Rush.   O'bama has helped other people who were disadvantaged.   People right here in this hell-hole called America.

 booking photo provided Aug. 30, 2011 by the Framingham Police Department shows Onyango Obama, arrested in Framingham, Mass., for several infractions, including operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He is the uncle of President Barack Obama.

By JOE GUZZARDI
CAGLE CARTOONS NEWS SYNDICATE
This is a cautionary tale about three of President Obama's family members—the president, his uncle Omar Onyango and his Aunt Zeituni Onyango. To follow the story completely, readers should be current on President Obama's administrative amnesty which he sprung on an unsuspecting and incredulous public just before he departed for Martha's Vineyard.
Obama and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano define his new policy, now in effect, as an ICE evaluation of 300,000 cases involving aliens in deportation proceedings to determine whether they are hardened criminals and therefore a risk to public safety or "low priority" offenders. The latter are released.
At a speech she delivered at the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and the University of Arkansas' Clinton School of Public Service, Napolitano brazenly summarized the revised immigration guidelines as "common sense" and ones wherein "nobody is getting a free pass."
Actually, the policy is idiotic, hurtful and defies Obama's sworn Constitutional obligation to uphold the nation's laws.
Furthermore, for Obama to release illegal aliens just weeks before 9/11's tenth anniversary is a callous display of indifference to the victims' families. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 12 of 48 terrorists involved in the plotting and carrying out of the murderous attacks were illegal aliens. Because of the discreet profile they maintained during the days leading up to 9/11, using the current Obama-Napolitano standards they would have been described as "low priority".
Ditto for Auntie Zeituni. While Zeituni didn't pose a criminal threat, she fraudulently tapped into a social services pool that drained scarce public resources.
First ordered deported in 2004 after overstaying a visa issued in 2000, Zeituni lived in public housing, supposedly available only to citizens and collected $700 in monthly disability checks. But an unidentified benefactor interceded and hired famous immigration lawyer Margaret Wong to represent Zeituni in her efforts to remain. The unsurprising result—a Boston federal judge stayed Zeituni's deportation order. In 2010, Zeituni was granted political asylum and is now a legal U.S. resident.
Only the most optimistic expect a different result from Uncle Omar's case. Like his sister, Omar ignored a previously issued federal deportation order and has been living in the country illegally for several years. Wong will represent Omar.
But getting Omar off may be tough. On August 24 Omar, who had an outstanding warrant, was arrested on for driving his SUV through a stop sign and barely missing a police cruiser. Omar's sobriety test indicated a 0.14 level, nearly twice the maximum. The police charged Omar with driving under the influence, driving to endanger and failing to use his turn signal. Because of his immigration violations, ICE detained Omar.
Under the new immigration rules, into what category will Omar fall: hardened or low priority? Don't forget that the ICE language includes allowances for protecting aliens "with family ties".
Most would argue that Omar, an illegal immigrant, should be deported immediately. While he's not a convicted axe murderer, Omar is a hazard behind the wheel that may kill someone with his car.
Obama, with his eyes on the polls, can be sure the nation will be watching his uncle's case. If Omar is still hanging around in November 2012, there's a good chance Obama may be gone by January 2013.

III.
     As of yet President Obama has not helped his brother George.   Others have, but Barry has not.   George lives on th4e edge of Nairobi, Kenya.   In a 180 square foot "squatter's cabin".

Just a hint, Rush.

El Gringo Viejo's Favourite Clint Eastwood Movie

     Since everyone is asking, El Gringo Viejo's favourite Clint Eastwood work, besides Rowdy Yates during the Rawhide days, is "Bronco Billy"....It is a farce, a comedy, an allegorical treatise, and a big slice of Americana.   As comedies go, it is a serious peice of work, not a lot of pie in the face.   We recommend it as a justifiable waste of time.  Cliq below for YouTube trailer.    Mr. Faver sent me this picture from Faver Ranch in Presidio County, Texas.   In fact, Presidio  County is almost all Faver Ranch.   He and Rowdy worked together one time, but Rowdy went to California after the last big drive up the Chisholm Trail.

Anglican Curmudgeon Alert

A simple admonition.  The Anglican Curmudgeon has jumped into some of Chesterton's analytics from the 1930s....and while telling us to turn our eyes for a moment from to-day's putrid presidency and the fallout therefrom....slyly shows us that we are truly doomed to repeat history because we know it not.   It is his current article, Signs and Portents, now open to the public.   The drinking light is lit.

An Apology Just Won't Do!

ABC News reached out to Breitbart News to name the man heard mocking the Romneys during this ABC News livecast: David Chalian (pictured) of Yahoo! News. Chalian is a former political director with ABC News, but according to ABC News has no association with the network now. The headline has been changed to reflect this update, as has the story itself.    Even this apology is an afront. It is a limp-wristed attempt to dust up a little cover by saying that David Chalian, formerly of Yahoo! News has no association with ABC News now. Such word crafting is typical of marxists. It is like when Lanny Davis told reporters that "....The President did not have sexual relations with Mrs. Broaddrick...in 1979...", knowing full well that Mrs. Broaddreick was not Mrs. Broaddrick in 1979...she was married to a man with a different surname....and, as stated, Lanny was assuring the press corps that President Carter had not consummated the "lust in his heart" that he occasionally felt. That Billy Jeff Blythe brutally raped a woman who was the same person as the person who became Mrs. Broddicky was a matter that Lanny did not address. He was being a legal mechanic and a smart aleck jackass. The leftist press lackeys, then as now, did not call him on his word game and reported the matter as "case closed".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

       It is true that when this apology was published, the statement, "David Chalian is a former political director with ABC News, but according to ABC News has no9 association with the network now. The reason he has no association with ABC News "now" is because they fired him two hours ago. He is probably on a bit of a vacation before reporting for duty at Google Events Director, as liaison to Obama's campaign. He would do well as Outreach Coordinator for Atheist Jews who Hate Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism.    Chalian's error was in talking in a production room without being sure that all the mikes were dead. One was live and caught him saying that the Romneys are “happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Chalian’s comment, a reference to the tropical storm battering Louisiana, was made during a webcast at the Republican convention that is part of a partnership between Yahoo and ABC News. On Tuesday, Chalian and ABC’s Jonathan Karl jointly interviewed members of the Romney brain trust.Pardon the ploughing of ploughed ground, but the marxist press people have said lies so much that they begin to believe themselves. It is like "America lost the war in Viet Nam". Anything that was lost in that war was lost by the Socialist Democrat Congress and their allies in the European leftist press, and their allies in Hanoi.They harp continuously that we on the Right are racists, when in fact it is they who have the low expectations for people "who don't look like them", and it is they who assume that "people who don't look like them" are incapable of taking care of themselves.     And now once again, they believe that white Republicans people probably tried to kill all the black people in New Orleans so as to make sure Louisiana's electoral college votes would be safe for Republicans for at least two election cycles. They believe the rantings of racist madmen like Spike Lee and Louis Farakhan and Jeremiah Wright because it makes them feel superior and "understanding" of the roots of "black rage".
The problem, however, is that what happened in New Orleans had little to do with FEMA or George Bush. It had to do with the fact that the head of government in New Orleans was a hypocrytical black man named Nagin, the mayor. He ran off to his home when it looked like things would be serious but not too bad....he thought he had ought to be with his family. Mayor Nagin just happened to live in a substantially white, upper-income part of Dallas, Texas at the time. Yes, Mayor Nagin was in Dallas, Texas shortly before and two weeks after the event. He had bought the home in 2005....and has had trouble remembering to pay his homeowner's dues to the neighbourhood committee.                                                                                                 
And while that was going on and the Adjutant from the National Guard was asking for orders from his commander in chief, she was busy trying to throw together outfits for the coming pressers....outfits that "....wouldn't make my butt look too big." She needed a bigger brain and a soul and a sense of self that would have been smaller than the problems other people were having. THE ISSUES OF KATRINA, A RELATIVELY MINOR STORM, DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF SLOTH ON THE PART OF THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR FOR FAILURE TO ACT....FOR FAILURE TO CALL FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN A TIMELY , LEGALLY REQUIRED WAY....AND THEY DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF THE BREAKDOWN OF A BADLY MAINTAINED, TOTALLY CORRUPTLY ADMINISTERED, SYSTEM OF LEVEES, GATES, PUMPS, AND DRAINS THAT HAD NO OPERATORS. FURTHER COMPLICATIONS OCCURRED WHEN THE POLICE, FIRE, PARISH, CITY, AND SCHOOL (as in bus drivers and other support personnel) INSTITUTIONS WERE ABANDONED BY THEIR MEMBERS, to between a 65 to 90 percent level....across the board. In America's federal system, locales and States must request central government intervention. Neither Mayor Nagin nor Governor Blanco deigned to perform even this simple task....send a fax....use the special White House line that all Governor's have....nothing was done. It was Mayor Nagin who went and hid and it was Governor Blanco who worried about more important things while New Orleans sunk below the muck. AMTRAK had eleven special trains in the middle of the city that finally had to be moved out....without any refugee/passengers.....free transport. The worst thing that George Bush did was to allow the worthless FEMA piece of useless government largesse to pass out cash and 500 dollar ...even 1,000 dollar FEMA charge cards to the people in the temporary refugee facilities in Houston and other places. The people who were taken to Houston were....in their huge majority (there were noteworthy exceptions)....among the laziest, dirtiest, meanest, most violent, demanding, menacing, impositive creatures who were ever catered to 110% by the Salvation Army, Red Cross, and the hopelessly useless FEMA dregs.                                                                   

Civilised white and black people in Texas bent over backward and worked hand and foot to recieve and make comfortable      the people who were forced out of their situation in New Orleans. As with the lepers, the over, over, overwhelming majority  resented that the Texans did not do more for them. Tales of slobby women going into a beauty parlour for the "works" and      throwing down a couple of dollars...saying ...'You gotta take what I give you, an' I don't havta give you nothin' if I don't          want to." are so commonplace that they are really not worth repeating. If repeated, it would be common for some person to say, "Yes, I know. I'm the morning clerk at the 7 - 11 over on Elm Street. They just sent in children who would grab bag and cans and bottles of any and everything, and then run out of the store shouting "Katrina victim, Katrina victim....and if we said anything, we would be dressed down with profanity and obscene gestures or with several rough looking men coming in, grabbing more stuff, and glowering at us".                                                                                                                                                                 

    So, do not talk about the Romneys or the Bushes , they have no fault in this. The fault lies in posturing Democrats who want to keep the shelf stocked with a dependent class whose existence can always be blamed upon the neglect by the rich Republicans....who do nothing for the poor. This is especially sad when. in fact, it is the rich and the not so rich who actually pay twice to help the poor, and it is the Democrats and liberals who take money from the rich and not so rich and give it to the professionally poor so as to ensure that those same people will remain dependent and perpetually mired in their poverty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

More later.  Thanks for your time and patience, as always.
