A True View of the Real Cuba

    There is the Cuba of the lie, of the dolt...arrogant, stupid, ignorant dolt....wearing his "revolutionary" Che' Guevara pull-over...or his red beret with a "golden" star.    The Cuba of the Occupy Wall Street people is still....with all the reforms that have been announced over the PAST 50 YEARS!!!!.....is still a septic tanque and a cesspool all rolled into one.  There are a few glitters of gold, here and there.  But they truly are not for the common people.   Please remember that when Cuba was a "....corrupt Mafia controlled playpen for the Gringos"....everything was quite different.  Corrupt politicians imprisoned hundreds of troublemakers and malcontents.  Policemen would shake down drunks and rowdies for a few pesos...(trading 1 = 1, dollar/peso), and there were a lot of Italian-looking people at the best nightclubs.   Cuba also had a huge working class and middle class, and was the fourth most prosperous American Nation in the Hemisphere.   Churches were full and everybody could read and write.  The American presence had benefitted everyone...even if the Americans felt a little too much "at home" there.

    Now, even Amnesty International....a proudly socialist, anti-American entity...estimates the number of political prisoners in Cuba at 20,000 .    Arbitrary criminal imprisonment...because some official took exception at some disrespect...or was offended by some mere citizen taking offence at the official's over-interest in the citizen's wife...might number in the 10,000 range.  Almost all jurisprudential activity is based on whim and the guarding of the State's interest, not the private citizen.  So, the "great leap forward for the the Brave New World" turned out to be the children's game of "Take 23 Giant Steps Backwards".   For those accomplishments, as is appropriate, the Castro-Ruz brothers are heroes to the Left.....because of all their "accomplishments".

 

HERE IS ANOTHER ONE, truthfully reported.

 

Cuba and Cholera: Good Hygiene and Good Government Can Save Lives

January 18, 2013

BY Frank Calzon

     Almost five months ago, the Cuban government announced the end of a cholera outbreak in eastern Cuba. At the time, Cuba’s Public Health Ministry blamed the three deaths and 417 cases on overflowing toilets, heavy rains and contaminated wells. According to the government, thanks to its prompt reaction and the quality of the country’s public health system, the crisis ended quickly.
 

     Just recently, on January 15, the Cuban government announced that there were “only” 51 new cases—this time in Havana.
 

     International and independent media on the island had already reported the outbreak, with independent media doing so months ago. On January 13, the BBC reported a “cholera fear in Cuba as officials keep silent.” Likely prompted by the international attention, the next day the government published an Information Notice to the Population saying it had detected “an increase in serious diarrhea…with symptoms that lead to the suspicion of cholera.”

Lest anyone become concerned, however, the government stated in the notice that it had everything under control and an “anti-cholera plan…was immediately activated” in which the government has “all the means and resources needed.” The Information Notice offered no additional details other than to say that “due to the measures already taken, the outbreak is on its way to extinction.”

     International news reports, however, belied the Cuban government’s claims. The January 13 BBC story reported that one known death had occurred “in one of the poorer and more overcrowded districts of Cuba’s capital” and that “there are increasing signs” of more cases. “Suspected cases are being sent to the Tropical Medicine Institute…All our wards are dealing with this issue—they are almost full,” an Institute employee told the BBC.

As a result of their own independent assessments, both the British Embassy and the American mission in Havana issued travel advisories earlier this week, and other embassies told the Associated Press that they were considering doing the same. The diplomats told AP they “have been concerned that the government is not sharing information with them in a timely manner”

       An AP report that appeared in The Miami Herald on January 15 explained that “Cholera is a waterborne disease caused by a bacteria found in tainted water or food. It can kill within hours” and said that “it was unclear why a new outbreak was being seen in Havana. Rains, which can help spread the disease, are common in January, but the weather has been unusually dry this year.”

Comment on this post

Blame Game

 

     To blame the weather (as well as the United States) for all of Cuba’s misfortunes is a common practice of the Cuban authorities. Years ago, Havana claimed the United States was responsible for starting epidemics, and even a tobacco plague, years ago, but when Washington demanded proof they had nothing to show. What the repeated outbreaks and the Cuban government’s efforts to conceal them show is that the much-heralded Cuban public health system is a great sham. The regime makes a great show of sending its medical personnel abroad to countries like Venezuela and Bolivia, while closing a number of clinics and hospitals at home and sending doctors who disagree to prison.
 

      Moreover, the persistence of cholera is also laying bear the sorry state of Cuban infrastructure, much of which has not been updated since before the revolution. Unfortunately, the international media has failed to make the connection between the disastrous conditions of Havana’s—and other cities—water and sewage systems and the cholera outbreak, as they would if they were reporting in Haiti or another country. But the truth is that thousands of Havaneros do not have access to running water, a service long since cut off to the homes of many ordinary citizens. Instead, they must patiently wait in line for the government trucks that are supposed to regularly distribute water (but rarely do) for drinking, washing and cleaning.

      Today, the government insists that the tourists are fine because they all can have bottle water. But what does that mean for the country’s own citizens?
 

      With a population more than twice what it had in 1959, Havana still depends on the same outdated water systems: its aqueduct, pumps and pipes have served the city since before the Castros came to power. Nationally, more than half of the water supply is lost due to leaks and improper maintenance, according to Cuba’s Institute of Hydraulic Resources. The government’s response? It recommends that Cubans dig their own wells for potable water.

     There is also the problem of Cuba’s outdated and short-changed sewer system. The lack of maintenance of the country’s creaky system for safely disposing of human waste is made worse by pipes that dump untreated sewage directly into streams and on to shores close to populated areas. Shoreline pollution is exacerbated by official corruption and the pilfering of pipes, which results in the pollution spreading farther on land.
 

A Story Foretold

     Months ago, dissident journalists reported several deaths attributed to cholera in neighborhoods south of Havana. The epidemic began hundreds of miles away in the city of Manzanillo, but there have been cases in other provinces.

Cuban authorities tried to blame the self-employed for the cholera and responded by prohibiting the sale of lemonade and other fruit drinks. There have been reports of closing of schools. Visitors are not allowed to visit cholera patients at various hospitals. And there are shortages of soap and cleaning products, which often can only be purchased at hard currency stores. But the majority of the population has no dollars.

     Tragically, in the absence of real information and honesty on the part of the government, the only way Cubans learn about the situation and how to protect themselves is from independent media and civil society. Last summer, during the outbreak in the eastern provinces, Raúl Castro complained that dissidents and the foreign media had exaggerated the crisis. But without the independent journalists, Cubans working in the government hospitals who talk to them and foreign correspondents, the government would have been successful in covering up the epidemic.

     Last Sunday, Cubans attending a number of churches were told to pay special attention to water and hygiene. But this is easier said than done: typically, three generations are forced to share a single small house or apartment. In this case, as in others, Cubans learn about developments on the island by listening to foreign broadcasts from South Florida, Dominican Republic and Colombia.

     The Castro brothers, like other totalitarian rulers, rewrite history on a regular basis. But while the regime boasts about Cuba being a medical superpower, (which it is not/ comment added by El Gringo Viejo) Cubans continue to die of a nineteenth-century disease. The last recorded cholera epidemic in Havana took place in 1883.

El Gringo Viejo

Called to Mean Old Joe's Saloon in El Diablo, Texas



El Zorro
zorro@mosinguy.com

El Gringo Viejo had a bit of a different deal of the deck this time. He was picking up stuff that he couldn't find in at the General Store in Dusty Gullet Gulch, so he came over to El Diablo where Old Felipe has a store that is quite a bit better, but it's futher away and Felipe likes to talk (and pick up gossip, the number one sport in El Diablo). Felipe's sons had finished loading our two-ton buck and were getting ready to re-tack and hitch the two mules after their watering and otherwise being spoil't, when a little Latin squirt came running up with a message. "Sen~or Gringo, Sen~or Gringo, El Zorro esta' por alla en la Cantina del Viejo Jose, el otro Gringo. Me mando a decirle que quiere hablar contigo! Pero, de urgencia!!" So there we had it. Urgent! It is? Why, when, and where did all this come about? But, such an earnest child, complying with an adult's orders, just had to be obeyed. I thought I knew who it might be, but it was odd that such a meeting should be called out in the open and without regard to El Zorro's normal secretivity. El Gringo Viejo strode over the one block to the west and across the dusty street, to the somewhat ramshackle, but clean, saloon owned and operated by Old Joe Wilkins, who had never been known to smile in 30 years of running his bar...weekend restaurant...and-on call blacksmithing service.

Upon entering, there were no other clients to be seen, save for one old lady, looking the worse for wear for various reasons. Nope, nobody else around...but little "Chon" , the messenger was pointing purposefully at the old lady, and motioning that I should take a chair at that table.

As I sat down, the Old Lady stood up and took of her dress and wigs and began to wipe off the makeup....It really was El Zorro! "What's the point of all of this," I laughed.  Thankfully, El Zorro had his trademark black outfit on underneath the dowdy-looking dress...and his hat nearby.   The cape thing was always overdone, something he almost never used or uses....except, now that we up in years...I use the old over the head goat's wool poncho, and I would imagine that El Zorro would have liked to have that cape with the January night setting up clear...crisp...and more than cool.

 He responded,"I don't really care who sees me leave, I just don't want anybody to know that I'm here or that I arrived. Look, here is something that I wrote up. This issue becomes more serious every day. We need to remember our basics...like in shooting a rifle, or pitching a baseball, or heck, just doing an arpeggio on a piano. We have to practice our thought and thinking process. We've been poisoned by the mainstream marxist press to think that a President is like Fidel or Hugo or Kim or Ho. We need to push the default button on our own people and allow them to remember what it is...in black and white...what it is that we are fighting for. Franklin's words, de Toqueville's words warn us about that. Adams and Jefferson as well. Madison speaks to it. But this paper here is what I want published to remind our folks....we are fighting for the maintenance of processes that were wisely installed and that also work when used."





Mountains to the west of
El Diablo, Texas, near the border

And then the preaching was over. It was not so much an instructive, but rather an order. And the message is more than worthwhile. El Zorro says little, ventures away from his two or three haunts and recesses only rarely, and for that reason the observations and conclusions that are made in his messages are arrows whose shafts are .925 silver and points are 18k gold. After a few rounds of Old Mean Joe's best Mexican beer, we went into the darkening hour. The mules would know the way home. I noticed that Old Felipe had put two carrots on the bench seat...one for each of the mules upon return to our little adobe hut about 5 miles to the west...towards those mountains.

MESSAGE CONCERNING THE CORRECT ASSIGNMENT OF DUTIES and RESPONSIBILITIES, AS SPECIFIED AND REQUIRED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ITS ARTICLES AND AMENDMENTS. TO WIT:

January 21, 2013 - another inauguration of the executor of the will.

Does it occur to anyone that the executive of the United States, aka President, is in function, simply the "executor" of the Constitution as opposed to the "manipulator" of the Constitution? The job, as is expressed in the inauguration oath, "...I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States...". It is unfortunate that the phrase "to the best of my ability" is in the oath because it has given something of a loophole for this president to wriggle through.

There is a racoon in our stable that coexists with 3 cats. It is impossible to coax this critter out and we get no assistance from the felines. We have to daily clean up the mess of the previous nights' pandemonium. There is a mechanical door with collar sensors worn by the cats that allow the door to open and close for their entry and exit. Obviously the racoon does not have a collar but he is very satisfied to live in the building where there is food, water, and warmth.

Actually that has nothing to do with the president or the inauguration except for the frustration we have in that, despite all our efforts, we cannot rid ourselves of this varmit.

Back to the point we would make, most responsible individuals have a will so as to protect their heirs from government looting of their inheritance. Also with a will the responsible individuals will have an executor whose responsibility is to enforce the conditions of the will. The executor has no power to change the conditions of the document without the express direction of the originator. This is where we make the analogy between a will and the Constitution, the legal executor and the President of the United States. The definition of executive in the context of our government: "the branch of government responsible for carrying out laws, decrees, etc.; administration".

Article I of the Constitution establishes the legislature which is the sole authority to legislate (make laws). Article II establishes the executive branch and specifies the powers of the president which do not include making laws. His job is not to be the boss of the Congress or the Judical branch established in Article III of the Constitution.

We have three branches of government, estalished in order of priority, which none we now have seem to know what their responsibilities under the original law of the country are, nor do they understand the premise of our form of government which is a constitutional republic, not a democracy as our elected officials so often suggest. What this means, for low information voters or low information anybodys, our government is established to protect the the rights of the minority from being abrogated by the majority.

The esteemed Senator from New York, "Chucky Schmuky Schumer" as he is affectionately called, showed his hand on the issue of the rights of the minority off handedly in a recent conversation with Joe Scarborough of the Morning Schmo. To paraphrase, he said that he thought the next four years would bring more compromise between parties in the Congress and the President. He said Leader Boehner was working to bring more comprimise to the House but for 50 rebel members in his chamber. He and his ilk would have us believe compromise / good, but standing on principles / bad. The 50 members are the 2010 Tea Party members who are the hope for the nation. These junior members will ultimately prevail with help in the mid term elections of 2014 to increase their numbers in the House and gain a majority of the same quality individuals in the Senate.

This President continues to campaign. He is not to be underestimated. His gains in his first term are historic. He will try to be even more effective in this second term with immigration and gun control to name a couple. He will continue to bash us over the head with "all Obama all the time". His blathering about compromise and those bad representatives who refuse to bend over will be in your face at every opportunity. He is already using his campaign staff from 2012 to defeat us in 2014. We have to start looking now toward a candidate for 2016.
Yours truly likes Ted Cruz even though he is a junior Senator. He has all the values conservatives should rally behind (in our humble opinion). Senator Cruz already has more experience than did Obama at his first inauguration. He will have four years experience by the 2016 election. It would be a grand occasion to hear Senator Cruz repeat "...I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God."

El Zorro

('nuff said, and well said.   El Gringo Viejo)

A Person needs to follow his own advice....

    Yesterday, the boss and I go out to buy a hose for our place down on the face of the Sierra Madre Oriental.   In the meantime, we decide to relent and actually spend some money...this time on a slightly fancier than basic digital camera.   We find one that looks like it came out of a Barbie Goes on Tour box, buy the accompanying thing that has to be put inside so as to record the pictures, and off we go.

     Yes...it is true...I am also a mendacious malcreant.  We saw that the Barbie Camera was "made in (red) China" and we saw the form that we had to mail to Peking with the blood-types of our children and grandchildren...(they do not want geezers like us as organ donors for their princeling selcct - 0 - sex children).... and we went on our way.  We noticed that even the Kodak device that a person has to put insidee the camera to record the pictures (the name escapes me right now...something like a gaga or blintz)....was also made in (red) China.  That form requires a tissue sample to be mailed in within thirty days or all warranties are off.

 

     In any regard, we arrive at our abode and begin the relatively simple process of bringing the little camera to life.   There is the instructive CD, which El Gringo Viejo puts in....and starts up.  The inevitable happens...there is an announcement mid-way though the set up that says that are are some kind of incompatibility issues...so therefore click here, and shut down and restart.    This is done, like a good prole and worshipper of Chairman Mao, and off we go again...this time arriving at the point where the CD asks to select which model of camera is being set-up.   It gives about 100 different models made by the same company.  And, of course, the model type and number of the camera is not found on the list of choices.

     El Gringo Viejo makes the mistake of selecting the nearest model designation and number, and it seems to satisfy the CD and the computer and Chairman Mao.  We make it to the end, and close out.   Before fifteen minutes have gone by, El Gringo Viejo's computer has gone bi-polar.   It is strategereising what it should be misunderestimating and it is confusing the Taiwanians with the Germanians. 

    We lose a bit of some of our posts, and also....shrrreeeeeiiiiikkkkkk!!!!!....access to our favourites.

 

      We disengage the material that has been put in by the Red Chinese CD, pack up everything and take it back to the Target Store to advise the lowest level clerk that she is complicit in a great worldwide conspiracy involving the American version of the Ruhr Valley Capitalists, George Soros, the Annenberg Foundation, the United Nations, and a Chinese communist control group...but she just pushes and little button under the counter.   Suddenly 31 men in black with sunglasses and funny Frank Sinatra hats (also black), rush us and take away our neat little pile of merchandise, packaging material, Kodak stuff....then thrust an already processed return of credit receipt into our hands and pretty much herd us out of the busy Target Store...(aka Red Chinese Junk Redemption Centre).   They also gave us two coupons for 20 yankee dollars each for   Ho Che Wonh Bak Mati Zahnua Chinese Restaurant.   We found out later that the name of the place, roughly translated means:

 

      All our personnel came here in the metal overseas shipping crates and are members of the Chinese Peoples' Liberation Army.  They are here as moles awaiting orders  to begin beheading all round-eye, mountains of dung, and to carry off their children and grandchildren to Peking in order to be interred in the Chairman Mao Organ Donor Clinic for the Children and Grandchildren of  Great Chinese Communist Party Ruling Council and General Officers of  the Peoples' Liberation Army.  We give the term "Chinese take-out" a whole new meaning, white fascist dog.

 

     We came back and fiddled a bit more with our magic box here, and then it began to work predictably again.

 

We are looking for a camera made in Swaaziland or Tetanusia-Gangrenia...or, heck, even the gun free zone of the Peoples' Republic of New York.  We drag our knuckles back into the cave, ever mindful of the goodness of our readers who indulge us.

Hypocrisy

Dueling political cartoons on the facing editorial pages of a Texas newpaper.  A fairly useless newpaper that still runs AP and Reuters.   But, it makes a good mattress for the outside cats in their boxes during this cold weather period.  Ramirez who is a genious puts the firearms issue into the proper perspective for those who use the left side of their brain.   His cartoon comes first, as it should.

 

     Then comes the doltish "Benson" who fails to recall, let us say, that Chicagoland has incredible "gun control"....which means that guns are predictably "out of control", and the only ones who are generally disarmed are the law-abiding and the innocent.   The leads to Chicagoland being insanely bloody.  Chicagoland is composed increasingly of soulless products of the intergenerational public welfare culture.  It is our fault.  Because we oppose intergenerational welfare subsistence because it degrades the value of the self-sufficient, free standing human.  Especially degraded is the concept of an familially integral father.

    Say, Benson....Rahm and Obama and all the progressive cartel....they blame guns or the welfare culture?  The firearms shoot themselves, right?   The law abiding are shooting up all those dead bodies in Chicagoland...in almost every large urban nightmare centre in America, right?

      Say, Benson....have you ever noticed that conservative Black folks and other what you call "minority individuals"  who are conservative in orientation...and even, dread the thought...GOP types...don't have any problems like the people who are mired in the tar pits of public assistance.   So, what do you say Benson, don't you think that it's not racial, but political, because the Democrats have to pay for their votes with other peoples' money?  Just maybe?

     Say, Benson....Read Ramirez and learn.



RAMIREZ,
One of our favourite political cartoonists of all time
gives us a sad laugh, and some good statistics on the relative
dangers facing Americans.

 

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

 

 

 

This second cartoon, the name of the author is difficult to
discern, something like Benson, shows us a paternalistic Obama
"caring" and "hearting" two children, while Wayne LaPierre hearts
only his guns.   Very clever, save for this fact:   If Obama really does care,
and it he had a better way to solve the problem, then why did he not propose
and cause to be enacted empowering legislation to cure this problem.  If he truly
cared, and he truly knew how, then why not Yesterday, so to speak, instead of waiting until
another incident?   Why did he not vote  for the draconian anti-firearm legislation enacted in Illinois back when he was in the the legislature there?   He had the gutless gall to rise up and steadfastly vote...."present" ....like any real weasel.
And, of course, he knows that none of what he has just proposed would have had any impact on any shootings like the one we have suffered through in Newtown.
And he is certain the we are right when we repeat the truism that "...when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns".
And, hypocrit and liar that he is, he knows that Chicagoland's bloodbath is not caused by law-abiding people owning firearms but by the onslaught of un-fathered,  welfare produced and dependent subhumanoids that are somehow held up a products of discrimination by Republicans, when in fact they are products of a purposeful enslavement of a captive group of perpetually dull and dependent and violent malcontents, made angry at the innocent for the misery they themselves with the help of the progressives and other totalitarian secularists have created.
Obama's crocodile tears and feigned concern for "the children" is exposed for the abominable lie that it is, because nothing that he proposes will ever eliminate the risks people face when there are males being drugged up because they are a bit hyper or because they daydream.   There is no ADD nor is there ADHD or any other such thing.   There is only an unwillingness to accept that "Little boys are made of snails and puppy dog's tails" and they require both a gentle, understanding hand and a firm, and posteriorly applicative hand to drag up to the age of 15 - 20.   Over 50% of these incidents are caused by post adolescent males who are taking all nature of mind numbing poison, rendered by male-hating or quick draw prescriptionists.
Further hypocrisy points to the fact that this same administration flooded Mexico with the very firearms they rant and rave about...and the same firearms have been directly involved in the deaths of 400 some odd Mexican innocents...Mexican Army, Naval Infantry, civilian men, women, and children caught in cross fires between cartel cockroaches or military encounters where the cockroaches do not care where the bullets wind up.   These people were killed by Obamaguns....and yet he lectures us about assault rifles.
Ask next time, dear fifth column  of the fourth estate, "Dear Leader, What is your definition of an "assault rifle"?   El Gringo Viejo knows what an "assault rifle" is;  it is a rifle that is used in an assault...any assault.   Just like an assault pistol.  Or an assault jagged edge broken bottle.  Or an assault bottle of rat poison.  Or an assault Bowie's knife.  Or an assault baseball bat.  Or an assault electric heater thrown into an assault bathtub.

You, Barak Hussein Obama, are a poseur and a fraud.  You are a liar and a poor actor entertaining a dull audience.  Half of the nation sees through your every posturing and mendacity...and most them do not really hate you....but rather are saddened that such a great nation would have to put up with such a minor player whose only intent is the destruction of that nation for no other reason than just the pleasure that  a marxist has in  destroying something good and fine.    We know that you are a plastic man, without, and incapable of, original thought.   We know that you have been given social promotion to the point where the saying that "Anyone can become President of the United States" has become, sadly, a true statement.  Any untrained, un-churched, un-educated,  lazy, self-possessed parrot can be made to squawk the marxist line and if the stars are right and  there are enough stupid and ignorant and jealous and covetous, and dependent, and lazy people to form a political majority, then the Manchurian Squawking Parrot can be elected president, and his illegal  alien Auntie Zietuni Obama and Uncle Omar Onyango Obama can keep on living on the public dime in Massachussets for years, and years, and years while their high powered lawyers, paid for by "someone", keep them in the chips provided wholly by taxpayers.   Makes you proud..and you gotta love it.  No?


El Gringo Viejo signs off and drifts back to the old camp fire.  Saddle sore.  Bunches of
problems to-day.  All solved.   Zorro...to-morrow the details about the linkages.
It is all fixed for the future.

Our Dumboe vs. Their Messiah

  Rick Perry may be seeing the handwriting on the wall.  Soon Texas will be electing a President of the Republic of Texas.  Perry may be a little too old to see it and still be electworthy...but remember..a memory lapse, a bit of sincere intonement about his notions about Mexicans caught in a kind of legal immigration limbo...and he was toast.   But, to be sure, Perry is a very skillful strategic fighter.  He is not my favourite grapefruit in the cluster but compare the stateliness of his words as opposed to the president of our mother Republic, Barak Hussein Obama's lecture to-day.

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

 





Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding President Obama's executive actions:





 

     "The Vice President's committee was appointed in response to the tragedy at Newtown, but very few of his recommendations have anything to do with what happened there.

 

     "Guns require a finger to pull the trigger. The sad young man who did that in Newtown was clearly haunted by demons and no gun law could have saved the children in Sandy Hook Elementary from his terror.

 

     "There is evil prowling in the world - it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds. As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children.

 

     "In fact, the piling on by the political left, and their cohorts in the media, to use the massacre of little children to advance a pre-existing political agenda that would not have saved those children, disgusts me, personally. The second amendment to the Constitution is a basic right of free people and cannot be nor will it be abridged by the executive power of this or any other president.

 

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

         

       The choice between Perry and Obama is not even close.  In fact, between the two, one is a man and the other is a wormy weasel who likes to play word games and 'trick" people into believing he said one thing when later he will tell us he actually said the opposite.   That is the way of Obama...a spoiled child, playing the role of a cheif executive.
     There is an understated, but readily identifiable touch that one finds in statesmen in the above Statement by Mr. Perry.  The OROGs know that El Gringo Viejo has been rough on Mr. Perry in the past.  I have voted for him at every opportunity save for one Republican Primary, a couple of years ago.   During the Republican Presidential primary process my loyalty was to Hermann Cain.   In this issue of a choice between performances to-day...one is sincere, the other is the slimy presentation of a shyster trying to sell bent and stained aluminum for sterling silver.   Like Edna Ferber, "I'll Take Texas" and in this issue, I'll gladly take Perry.

 

El Gringo Viejo

 

The Campaign Never Ends

The scene presented by the President of the United States  suddenly talking about gun control, with beaming, innocent little children seated behind him tells a mighty tale. 

 

 

     There was nothing being said about any of this until the massacre at Newtown, Connecticut.  Why, one might ask, have the responses by the White House turned out this way.   It is because of the following.

 

 

(1)   The White House and the Stalinist control freaks within the guidance group of the Democrat Party brush off their templates of demands for "protecting Americans from guns and America from gun owners".    Templates include but are not limited to...eliminating "cop killer bullets", "assault weapons" "military-style weapons", "semi-automatic firearms", "Saturday Night specials", "non-hunting weapons", "un-necessary firearms", and the whole gamut of leftist bogey-men lurking in the shadows to frighten the easily confused.

 

 

(2)    With the agenda and objectives taken out of the drawer in the big desk of the foundations, leftist think tanks, progressive organistions, and professional America-haters, the leftist  engineers empanel focus groups of the stupid, dull, consumers, SS-disability0, unemployment compensation, food stamp people and others commonly referred to by the President as "The American People".   These people are asked questions such as, "What do you think the President should do to keep America's children safe?" 

          As the people respond, the engineers tape, watch, study inflections, and the reaction of head noddings of the dolts surrounding the dolt who is speaking..."We need to keep the children safe.   The president should take all the guns and bullets and not let anyone hurt people with them".  

          The engineers can go through a lot of answers with a focus group of 20 people.   They will usually have 10 or 12 questions, half of which will be elicitive...like "What should the president do about.....?"   And, half will be directive....like"Do you think that the president should propose that failure to register already owned guns of all kinds should be an action punishable by stiff prison terms?"
 

 (3)    When the dolts are released to go back to their couches and their Oprah and re-runs of Three's Company, the engineers begin to take out phrases....focus group phrases for the stupid and non-critical thinkers.   "Hard working American people",  "working-class families", "single moms trying to get through....",  "millionaires and billionaires", "everybody has the right to (a house)(three square meals)(a safe place to....)(things that they need)".   The best ones though are, "the children" and "the government should provide....", and "the government should make everyone ......".

      The very best ones are like the one Obama used when talking to the press about his demand and order...under the provisions of the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative....that declared "....that all contraceptives will be provided  FREE under any private insurance plan..." and ".....that all childen aged 26 and under will be included, FREE, on their parents' insurance plan...."  .   The stupid, lazy, doltish, consumers, envious, mean, small, visionless, inarticulate, incapable of deductive thought, dependent slobs....who compose about two-thirds of the Obama trough of humanity love that word "FREE".   Please notice how frequently it is used in advertising campaigns aimed at the dense, stupid, and compulsively dull...."BUT WAIT, Order Now! and we'll include another bassmasher FREEEEEE, (just pay for separate shipping and handling).

 

(4)     Then, the Stalinist engineers are sent to round up Police and Firemen from the Union. They will be told to report in full formal uniforms at such and such hour, date, and place in order to stand behind the president as he demonises the other half of the world that can still think critically.   Like the white-trash that he is, he likes to show off and do a bully-strut like he did when he had the Supreme Court captive during one of his incredibly boring State of the Union harangues.   Like the defective, narcissistic, un-accomplished, yet totally indulged personality that he is, Obama must have continuous approval and adoration.

      This is the chronic condition of a person who has undeserved credit or comfort.   Being certain that he does not deserve his rewards he requires that there are people around him who reassure him that he really, really does deserve to have a private 747 and a big white house.   He knows he is a plastic man.   The people around him know he is a plastic man.  The press knows that he is a horribly shallow, plastic man...but it's all each party has...they cannot change the stage now, because the curtain went up quite a while ago, and the audience is watching.

        So, the Greek Chorus stands by....bulge-buttoned, union-thug, police and fire officials in full formal regalia, looking both confused and officious, and/or "regular folks" yawning through the dull drone from the president as he speaks to his dull followers and marxist sychophants from his obamaprompter.

(5)      And...at times...when it is absolutely, positively necessary.....THE CHILDREN.  The White House, being under the control of white trash and marxist, cares little about class.  They think class is hobnobbing with vile, profane, degenerate MTV and rapper slime...or the banal self consumed air-headed hollywood left that can only act like they are acting like they care.   They think this is classy:

We know it to be trashy.   This all was kept in the freezer, waiting for just the right "firearms incident" to then put into motion.  The time frame....with an allowance of a couple of weeks to demonise the horrid Republicans who hate children and want to see them all murdered and brutalised, and to allow the press to fan the flames of illogic and hysteria, and to massage congress members to not be afraid of the big meany....the National Rifle Association.... and a few days to work out the security clearance for the children's parents to clear security at the White House....let the people know what to wear and now to dress the children...and we're right on time for the OBAMA Show...DEMAGOGUE the NATION....For FREEEEEEEEE!!!
