What difference does it make?

 

The logic employed by Hillary Rodham Clinton makes sense to people who believe that it is necessary to defend her first, and at all cost, because she, in and of herself, is greater than any issue confronting the United States or the world.   One of the first people who are advocates of this insane position is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

 

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



I just have one thought:  Me
 

Hillary Rodham Clinton travels with a stylist and a large

 staff of servants and attendants who make certain that she is "sick",

  "ill"  "indisposed" "has previous engagements",  "is involved in delicate

 diplomacy" "has a concussion" "has the flu" "has intestinal flu".

 According to the flight master,"The White House says to keep her liquor

 cabinet full, and out of Washington until we can program some canned

filibuster evasions for her hearing.  Call the usual places for

 invitations to funerals and "highlevel talks".

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



      The next group of people who believe it is necessary to defend any mendacious conjuring of testimony by Madame Secretary is that group which believes fervently in free and legal abortion without condition.   There is some kind of sickness among people who cannot disconnect abortion from a military/geopolitical issue or from any issue.  It is the basis for excusing and even vindicating all manner of sickness, depravity, and incompetence among a category of politicians and excoriating others who have little or no fault save opinion or conviction of principle.

      Examples, and probably not even the best of many examples, are Hillary Rodham, Barney Frank, Edward Kennedy, and William Jefferson Blythe.  The number of dead people, of parking tickets fixed for homosexual "escort service" operators, of cover-ups of felonies, and hypocritical positions, mega-whoppers,  invasion of the exchequer for personal benefit, pardons-for-sale, rapes, physical assaults of women, and so forth is staggering.   The reaction to all whoppers and transgressions of the normal concepts of decency and morality by the Obsolete Press and the leftist cabal is something less than what a person would have upon finding a flat tire on his motorcar.

     El Gringo Viejo is driven back into his cave of remembrances about Clarence Thomas.  When he was nominated to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the leftist cabal determined to Bork him because he was an ungrateful Uncle Tom who had wandered off the socialist welfare plantation.  The Bush Administration, ever willing to be reasonable, was going to pull his nomination back, but Thomas and some of his RINO Republican backers (oddly) who agreed that Thomas was a worthy candidate, decided to fight.   Their fight was against charges that Thomas had somehow been "offencive and had practised sexual harassment" against  a woman by the name of Anita Hill.  When it became apparent that the charges were groundless, the "women's movement" people said that the invalidity of the charges was not important.  What was important was the "seriousness of the charges",  and that anyone who had been charged for such horrid offences should not be considered for such and important position.

     The public now either never knew this story, or if knowing, does not care.   At first, even after all the normal vetting of such an nominee, a sudden "witness' came forward with the horrible story about the sex-crazed, obsessed, and vile man who ....when all was said and done made a lewd remark about some porno star, and during his batching period had a Playboy pinup on his wall.    That was pretty thin milk to sling, especially considering that Edward Kennedy and Christopher Dodd had essentially raped, simultaneously, and in a public place, a waitress in an up-scale restaurant in Washington D.C. and, along with the press, had made light of the issue...essentially passing it off as a good-natured payback to an overly flirtatious waitress.   Such was anything but the truth, it was, in fact a lie.

      To wit: 

Michael Kelly’s famous piece on Kennedy, here’s the immortal passage on the “waitress sandwich” he once created with his buddy Chris at La Brasserie:
 

The fine and upstanding
and very liberal, defender of
women, Christopher Dodd

 

     It is after midnight and Kennedy and Dodd are just finishing up a long dinner in a private room on the first floor of the restaurant’s annex. They are drunk. Their dates, two very young blondes, leave the table to go to the bathroom. (The dates are drunk too. “They’d always get their girls very, very drunk,” says a former Brasserie waitress.) Betty Loh, who served the foursome, also leaves the room. Raymond Campet, the co-owner of La Brasserie, tells [waitress Carla] Gaviglio the senators want to see her.



Edward Moore Kennedy
The Lion of the Senate

As Gaviglio enters the room, the six-foot-two, 225-plus-pound Kennedy grabs the five-foot-three, 103-pound waitress and throws her on the table. She lands on her back, scattering crystal, plates and cutlery and the lit candles. Several glasses and a crystal candlestick are broken. Kennedy then picks her up from the table and throws her on Dodd, who is sprawled in a chair. With Gaviglio on Dodd’s lap, Kennedy jumps on top and begins rubbing his genital area against hers, supporting his weight on the arms of the chair. As he is doing this, Loh enters the room. She and Gaviglio both scream, drawing one or two dishwashers. Startled, Kennedy leaps up. He laughs. Bruised, shaken and angry over what she considered a sexual assault, Gaviglio runs from the room. Kennedy, Dodd and their dates leave shortly thereafter, following a friendly argument between the senators over the check.

 

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

     So, why bring up such disgusting sluggery?   To tie the points together, that is why.   Lyndon Johnson was a liberal Democrat who was excused all manner of depravity, and around whom circulated many, many stories of obtuse corruption and  peculiar early demises.   But he was slowly accepted by the progressives because Franklin Roosevelt was his political godfather, and because he had no sense of any kind of morality, he might be useful in forwarding the social welfare debacle in which we find ourselves now mired.  Great Society, anyone?
     The Kennedy Brothers, interesting, roguish, fascinating in a morbid way, but of all of them, the least valuable...Teddy...a drunken, whoring, misogynist.  Raped and assaulted women abound in his vitae...prostitutes in open display...dead young women...but for liberals and socialists...boys will be boys.   Bill Clinton...so long as he would work to extend abortion and push a generally leftist agenda...he could rape, indulge, assault, and have any degenerate history and he was cleared for take-off..a brilliant man (he is actually rather dull, but like many white trash, he is cunning and willing to take unto himself that which is not nailed down)!  Simply Fascinating!

     El Gringo Viejo asks and asks, again and again.  Why?   He is white-trash, through and through, never makes sense when saying anything, panders to the weaknesses of people, is totally self-consumed, is an adjudged liar, disbarred and fined during his presidency for such offences...and has never done anything for anybody worthy of mention.   But, he is lauded like his horrid "wife"  for "all he has done" for the left handed Eskimo lesbian astronauts, or Haiti...now there's a good one...Haiti....and he rebuilt that funny little place that had the Tsunami....look at all the social improvement there has been for the coloured folks...'cause he has an office in Harlem...do we remember?

     And the issue of Barney Frank and Gary Studds, both thoroughly corrupt in a legal sense, and in a moral sense, but both receiving standing ovations when they returned to the floor of the House of Representatives.  Their numerous and continuing offences, unrelated one to the other or in time-frame, were ghastly, horrible abuses of power and expressions of hubris and perfect arrogance.  But, because they were extreme leftists, pro-abortion, and homosexuals...they received standing ovations from their Democrat cohorts because of their "bravery".  Corzine, Weiner, Torecelli,  Nagin, Hamilton, Rangel, and on and on and on.  When Republicans do bad things..they are flushed, usually by the party itself.  Democrats and leftists, they are applauded and marvelled at for being able to "get away with it".     Two different worlds.

 

     There is something appropriate about the continuing banking and  housing mess being traceable to the Dodd-Frank Bill....perversity in morality breeding perversity in the construct of banking and housing legislation and policy.

 

     So, with these shining lights of "public service" set up as examples, we arrive upon the person of Hillary Rodham Clinton...the number one most whopperistical and narcissopotamus organism presently afflicting American culture.  She eclipses even the totally self-consumed Barak Hussein Obama.   When she asks, "What difference does it make?" in responding with exasperation to a terribly disrespectful question by some nobody of a senator or congressman....we can all have "empathy" (pointlessly overused word in these times...and appropriate for its meaninglessness) for this Great Paragon who has done so much for women and children.

     She is sitting in the same saddle that has been ridden many, many times by the corrupt, socialist cabal...filled with personal conceit, hubris, and arrogance...that states clearly, "What I have done is done.  I have gotten away with it, and there is nothing you can do about it, because you are not as important or powerful as I.  And if you oppose me I will arrange the same treatment that was rendered others...and I shall get away with those crimes as well.

      So," she can ask forcefully and melodramatically, "What difference does it make"....whether they were killed by a crowd protesting a film or just because "someone" decided to kill some Americans when he was out taking a walk (signs of delusion?)"..and  she adds, not by word but by glinting it through her "special glasses" that "....it doesn't matter what the truth is.  It only matters that I not be bothered by the truth".
       Even the expression "....out taking a walk " shows that, in her mind, she deflects the issue into some shrouded, unreal Twilight Zone of plausible impossibility...like the Wiley Coyote running in mid-air for 9 seconds before falling 3,000 feet into the Canyon, and surviving.

 

      And El Gringo Viejo responds, that he does not care, as does Hillary and Barbara Boxer and the Hillary Abortotrons, that poor Hillary has flown 1,000,000 miles for America, and has been the hardest working and best Secretary of State in American History.   For one, such bilge is both impertinent and also false posturing.  We do not care that she has flown 1,000,000 miles.   She had sufficient comfort and quarters while flying....much greater than the 99.99999% of the rest of the flying public.   Her padding....and seating and accommodation is considerable .  She travels with a stylist, secretary, butler, staff, and other slobbering sycophants, an adoring press made of abortotrons and other marxists and a limitless budget of other peoples' money.   She is not great, her accomplishments are nil in most cases, moot in others, and disastrous in several.   Arab Spring, anyone?   Thank Allah that she had a stylist on board, or she might not have looked as good as she did during most of those photo-ops, all of which were meaningless.

     As she entered the office, the world was complicated and filled with treachery.   As she is leaving, she has had no impact, save negative,  on any of it, and her "bossman" had succeeded in placing the United States into a second tier of influence to the point that the only response to an attack on a diplomatic station...probably involved in contrabanding Libyan arms to al Qaeda forces fighting Assad in Syria...was to stand by and watch.  He also succeeding in keeping the Old Bat out of Washington D.C. as much as possible.  The kept her from dominating the publicity photographs, so to speak.
        Obama did not and does not want anyone to figure out about the contrabanding.   That story is making increasing inroads in the consciousness of some, but, of course, not among the focus group low-info and low-intellect electoral base of the Democrat Party.  That contrabanding of weapons...an Arab "Fast and Furious" if the OROG please,  and the nexus with a group that most Americans know to be a remorseless, unyielding enemy, will not play well in the political market in the long run.   The American public intuitively knows that al Qaeda will take arms from us as a peace opening or offering and then kill us with those same arms.   That is another of the big reasons why Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton  do not want anyone to fully comprehend the level of insipid, arrogant, and very dangerous folly the White House embarked upon. 

 

    Saints preserve us.   A film about Islam...about muslims...a disrespectful film about Mohammed...and apology radio broadcast to Pakistan (?) and general talking points world-wide, United Nations presented case...to cover up a contrabanding operation that was doomed to go bad???    Is that why the White House had to shroud the issue and ALLOW the al Qaeda operatives in Benghazi to "eliminate the witnesses" once the issue gotten out of hand among the ever in-fighting factions of Arab Muslim extremist clics, cells, groups, and agents? 

     What else would explain the calling off of the carrier-based air response and the C-130 Spectre and/or Spook gun-ships, and other response groups who were eager to join the battle?    Where are the survivours of the Benghazi debacle, and why have they not been allowed to testify, in any way, to the Congress or the press (such as it might be)..Where?  Why?   Why were all the three star general officers in the theatre essentially detained and transferred Stateside?   Where are they?   What is their status?   Will they be dealt with as harshly as the Muslim extremist madman who murdered and wounded scores of UN-ARMED American soldiers at Fort Hood?    Or will they receive a swifter punishment.  Will they have heart attacks life Mr. JimMcDougal?  

 

Jim McDougal, died shortly
after entering prison for
involvement with crimes
in the Whitewater fiasco,
as the Clinton's partner, along
 with his wife. He had begun
 co-operating with authorities.
  Always dangerous when dealing
 with the Clintons.

      What treatment has been received by the parents of the four slain individuals from the Benghazi debacle?   Stories are surfacing that they have been subjected to all manner of governmental harassment from the Department of Justice and the IRS.   Is this just blogomania or is there something happening to them a la Mt. Carmel?   Is the dumboe who made that stupid film still in jail?   That was a high moment in American law enforcement, like Elian Gonzalez...shades of the American KGB when the Democrats have the DOJ and the FBI and the Secret Service and ATF and E and the resources of the White House's smear engines.

 Dear Madame Hillary,
 in the above three paragraphs, a common American, with little advanced strategic or even tactical military or diplomatic expertise, has painted a serious scenario of what was happening in Libya on your watch and on the tour of duty of that worthless poseur and fraud playing the role of president.   The conclusions that could and can be drawn by your predictably mendacious ....and illogical, self-contradicting testimony....coupled with your concoction of a ridiculous series of medical emergencies falling at the very moment you would be called to testify about your laziness, incompetence, self-absorption, and manoeuvring to be President of these pitifully beaten down United States....is sadly laughable.    I scoff at your lies.  I take umbrage that you would lie under oath again.  It is repulsive that you take the lives of the people you allowed to be killed so lightly, that you would let them fall so you could stand.....to preserve your "pristine" image.   Your testimony was no surprise.
    You remain a murderous, mendacious, marxist hag.  There is no health in you, your associates, your party, or your mission as it pertains to the destruction  of the unborn and of this Republic.

We retire.
El Gringo Viejo 

It seems so simple

     Truly, it is such a simple matter.   When you guys go down to Gramercy's there between Park and 5th...after a long day's work defending the poor and fighting racism on behalf of the White House...would it not occur to just one of you?

     If the crackers and gun totin' white trash from those no-account places like Shiner, Texas are so stupid and backwards and wrong about absolutely everything...why not really just edge on over to one story...just one story...and see if perhaps...just perhaps...you press people...all of your friends in  government "service".... slugs, barnacles and parasites, heck, even Holder and Sibalius and Hillary and Barak and Vice-President Uncle Joe Biden...and everyone from GS - 15 on up in the "public service" of the civilian sector of the central government, might all be chronic pathological liars.

     You went out of your way to call George Bush a liar...when in fact, you knew he really was not a liar.   He and most of the intelligence services in the world were slightly out-of-focus, but not lying...as you know;  but as you cannot admit, because it would expose you as liars by omission and commission.  And goodness knows that liberals and American marxists do not lie...and whatever little deviations from truth they simply have to employ is for the greater good of all...the children...the minorities...the women....the halt...the lame....Mother Earth, and ALL of God's children (although we know there is no such thing as a god or angels, no devils etc. and a merry solstice to you all, etc. etc.)

    What possible service are you people in the press providing when such an obvious whopper by such an obvious, deranged whopperprodushenschlemiel as Joe Biden can produce one after another, with nary a comment or even a raised eyebrow?  Is it that you have selective loss of the five senses?   Is it that you are afraid of having to confess that your side of the intellectual social discussion has produced great social concepts like multigenerational public assistance professionals?   Are you proud that we have a popular culture that, were it a physical thing, would look like a broken down sewage treatment plant in downtown Detroit, placed there as an public sculpture with the title, "Hope and Change, Now!'' .
     Its a lot like "Turandot" or a gallery showing Renoir or a four day weekend at Branson or Nashville, no?   Well, at least it's similar...No?


TELL ME WHY THEN:

      Uncle Joe Biden is the Vice President of the United States.  He is the president of the United States Senate.  It is a position sometimes scoffed at by politicians but that affords a great deal of exposure and opportunity for service.   Biden has managed to denigrate the position and serve as an accomplice to all nature of deviousness and dis-service to the Republic.

     We would like to point out just one case.   It is a good case because it is exemplary of many other cases, not only during Biden's Vice-Presidency, but also from the beginning of his public life.   He is still famous at the History Saloon among the fellows who have "designated barstools" or "standing privileges" at that place.    He is famous for making many boners and ridiculous statements.  But the last one....with which we have any familiarity, is the AMISH SHOOTINGs THAT JOE HEARD.   Were it to have been George Bush, or any one of us, the press would have been demanding documents, transcripts, statements, and two vials of our great-great grandmother's blood.    In Bush's case they would have been demanding his immediate stepping down from office as an un-fit incumbent ...."because of the seriousness of the charges".   Impeachment and Conviction would have been too good for him.

Mr. Biden told a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington that it was “pure coincidence” that he was in Lancaster County, Pa., on Oct. 2, 2006, when a deranged gunman was killing students nearby at a tiny Amish school.
“I happened to be literally — probably, it turned out, to be a quarter of a mile [away] at an outing when I heard gunshots in the woods,” Mr. Biden recounted. “We didn’t know. … We thought they were hunters.”
The vice president, who owns two shotguns, apparently was on a golfing trip, although he didn’t specify the reason he was there.
“As I got back to the clubhouse of this outing and saw helicopters, it was a shooting that had just taken place in a small Amish … school just outside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. So it’s not just big cities or well-to-do suburbs. It can happen anywhere.”
He was referring to an incident in which a truck driver, Charles Roberts IV, entered the West Nickel Mines School and shot 10 girls, five of whom died. The gunman committed suicide as police closed in.
An online search didn’t produce any earlier instances of Mr. Biden telling the story about having been within earshot of the school massacre.   The nearest golf course is eight miles away.


IN A RELATED ARTICLE IN THE WASHINGTON TIMES, PUBLISHED ONE DAY LATER, THE FOLLOWING PECULIAR FACTS COME TO LIGHT:



His spokeswoman, Kendra Barkoff, would say Thursday only that the "vice president was golfing in the area on the day of the shooting." She did not respond to inquires about which course.

"It was pure coincidence. I (Biden) happened to be literally, probably it turned out to be a quarter of a mile, back in 2006, at an outing when I heard gunshots in the woods that we didn't know where — we thought there were hunters," Biden said, according to a transcript of the Jan. 17 speech.
"As I got back to the clubhouse in this outing and saw helicopters, it was a shooting that had just taken place in a small, Amish school just outside of Lancaster. So it's not just big cities or well-to-do suburbs. It could happen anywhere."

Farms and fields are common around the rural school.
The tragedy that shook the very core of the Lancaster County community more than six years ago occurred on a warm Monday morning. A local man with a young family of his own walked into the Nickel Mines one-room schoolhouse, let the little boys and adults free, and opened fire on 10 little girls, killing five and wounding the others.
The small school, now razed, sat in an open field on a quiet street with Amish farms and modest non-Amish homes sharing the neighborhood.
Biden, then a U.S. senator in neighboring Delaware, did not have votes on Capitol Hill that day, according to a review of congressional votes.
In an article about school violence that ran in Biden's hometown newspaper, The News Journal, two days after the Amish school shooting, he discussed the need for more school security. The reporter who wrote the story, reached Thursday, said Biden never mentioned his being in the vicinity of the massacre.

Some Thoughts on Hegel

Just a tidbit.

Chuck Hagel, per the main stream mindless dolts, “volunteered” for military service. But not so fast. Politico said the following:

“Chuck Hagel was technically a draftee, joining the Army’s 9th Infantry Division.
He was called in by the draft board in 1967 and immediately volunteered.”

In the same article, a hometown chum said he was drafted at the same time as Hagel.

My interest was piqued when it was made public during his nomination for Secretary of Defense that he only served 2 years, 1967-1968. Draftees were conscripted for two years only. Volunteers could sign up for two years in the Army and Marine Corp but for that enlistment they would be committed to infantry only. If an enlistee went for 3 years or more he could choose his career choice. The Navy had an enlistment kiddy cruise of 3 years (no draft) and could choose a career field. The Air Force did not have a draft and the minimum enlistment was four years. So if this guy did immediately volunteer he could had done so for as little as two years. Since he was in the infantry, it doesn’t make sense that he would volunteer. Another political spin to pretty up Hagel’s resume.

In addition, purple hearts were given out for toothaches (remember Lurch and the one he got for getting a grain of rice in the butt when a grenade exploded on a riverboat?). I had a facial injury in Vietnam for which I was offered a purple heart by a superior but I refused because it was not worthy. I had been hit in the face playing intramural football in off time at Cam Ranh Bay. For that I spent 6 days in the field hospital for a nasal septal reconstruction then off I went back to the field no worse for the wear. I do have residual effects, apnea, for which I have been compensated.

This is not really an issue worthy of exploitation; however, it does smell like a dead carp. The lies and whitewashes are rampant in this administration. If you liked Pinetta, you’ll love Hagel.

I pray for our defense;  standing army as well as militia.

JRH -  El Zorro....

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

Rambling statistics and observations....

Gettysburg and Chickamauga  -  five days of battle  -  combatants indiscernible save for banners, pennants, and uniforms, one side from the other.

Two battles,      5 days,   12,500 dead  and approximately      100,000  wounded POW / MIA

 

Viet Nam 35,000 days,   60,000 dead  and approximately   1,000,000  wounded POW / MIA

 

     During the Viet Nam period, there were more young men killed in auto wrecks in the United States than in combat or military deployment activity in Viet Nam or Indochina.

 

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

 

     Gnarley, dude.   And of course, El Zorro is correct.   A conscript was drafted for a 24 month term.   Since I was a graduate of an accedited university, they automatically tacked on 6 months for the additional time required for the coming and going  and passing the necessary training and military preparation in the Officers' Candidate School.  My completions were confounded essentially by the beginning of a rapid draw-down of deployments to Viet Nam by the new Nixon administration which took office in January of 1969.  Suffice to say, my experience in the military was nothing akin to heroic.  Perhaps the greatest act of "heroism" committed by this particular soldier was "allowing" himself to be drafted....I served where sent...and was honourably discharged without a negative in my file.   But, like most of the Viet Nam people...like El Zorro, and really everyone I can bring to mind right now....we just don't talk much about our  service during those times.   We have a kind of rule we follow.  "The more that is said, the less that was done".   The American military won the war and the marxists and anti-American elements in the United States Congress lost the peace.

     Mr. (Sen.) Hegel and his brother volunteered for induction and this was normally done by young men, so as to place them on the fastest track to leave the military, usually after doing a lot of boring hanging around, and a lot of grunt work, and during that War, some pretty ugly combat.  But...one "voluteered for induction" so as to keep the quickest path to the exit door possible. 

     The regular enlistee had a different bearing and sense of mission,  The OCS guys, the two-tour guys....they were numerous and a bit wierd...because they liked  the food.  And they had that particular American...push..compliance...and fair play notion.   It is hard to explain.

     The Hegels were trained up well as warriors, with 8 weeks of basic, and since they were bound for the infantry, 8 more weeks of  Advanced Infantry Training...like at Fort Ord, formation and assignment, and then off to face the vagaries of a war without fronts.   I am glad that they did well, that they served.  But, neither the Hegel brothers nor El Gringo Viejo were "volunteers".  We were concripts...USA (United States Army), not RA (Regular Army);   The military citations (medals) issued to Mr. Hegel were the minimum to be expected for an honourably discharged soldier.

     In my way of thinking Col Alan West would be more qualified to understand the nature and necessitie of the War Department in these times.   He does lack theatre command experience, but Mr. Hegel lacks a great deal more.

El Gringo Viejo.

Nice try (Sir Edmund)

Madame Secretary, please remember what you told the parent of one of the deceased Benghazi casualties.

     After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”    Obviously, Clinton was referring to the anti-Muslim YouTube video that the Obama administration spent nearly two weeks blaming for the attack. … “When she said that, I could tell that she was not telling me the truth,” Woods said about Clinton.

Incompetence, mendacity, complicity, Arab Spring, women's
issues Election just around the corner,  what are all
 these stupid hearses doing around here?  Does
 my hair look okay?
  Should I smile sadly or look stern?
  It doesn't matter how I explain this in acouple of weeks.
  They know I'm solid on abortion.
  The Bald Faced Lie has always worked in the
past.  My voters are stupider
 than tree fungus.



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

This followed a particularly crass and white-trash like comment by Biden, who told the father, "Your boy must have had ***** the size of cue balls" .   Real class, really real class to speak in such a manner when the whole gaggle of you reprobates had turned your back on a mess of your own making and were, even as the bodies were still warm, figuring some way to blame it all on George Bush or the Tea Party or a failure to fund security needs by the extremists in the Republican House of Representatives.  It has worked before.  Your electoral base is mentally slow...and/or enured of an undeserved sense of anger about their victimhood, and the elitist leftist press will back up anything you say.   You could blame the entire Benghazi thing on an attack by flying saucers piloted by the Siamese Sasquatch Sisters of Doom, and Whoopee Goldberg would swear that she had seen them too.  The Obsolete Press would produce pictures to prove it.  What truly horrid people you are.  And (Sir Edmund)Hillary...Liar, Liar , Pantsuit on Fire, to think that you would even go before the Congress and continue to be the same mendacious old beat up hag you have always been. 

      Just once you could have said,"You know, I'm going to tell you what actually happened.   I was following all of this on the live television linkage that Miss Lam had on and saw what was happening and I ran out and hailed a taxi and we drove lickedy-split straight to Andrews AFB and arranged me a pilot, and we jumped into the SR - 71 because of its cruising speed, and we took off...I only had Vince Foster's old .41 revolver.  But with six shots, I figured that it would be six fewer film makers going around shooting pornographic Mohammed movies.  We had quite a landing there in Benghazi....having to corkscrew down at night...no runway lights...no runway...and the semi-automatic assault rifle AAA sniper fire was flicking past us....you could see the lead and mercurial pollutants trailing off of the tracer rounds....one was coming right a my head.   Now you know that I did not actually fall down...I was hit in the head by a semi-automatic AK-16 anti-aircraft assault rifle cannon.  It was terrible.  The bullet then came back around, you know, it was one of those "boomerang cop-killer bullets" that George Bush authorised with that secret fund from the NRA, and it killed the driver of my SR - 71 or was it an RS-15?  Anyway, I managed to pilot the plane real, really low and I snatched those horrid films right out of the hands of that bad, bad man who was making those dirty anti-muslim movies, and flew back with the poor dead pilot.  It was really like a real James Bond movie thing..you know...except that it was really real.  I mean, really real.

     You have no idea how much I suffered with what I had to suffer through.  I was most concerned about those things about which I am concerned, like the mercury affecting the roufous bellied snotblotter, which is endemic to that area where I always have enjoyed camel riding when I am suffering one of my bad back episodes that I have with almost the same frequency that I used to have them before I found the medicine that I am using now.  I used to use a different medicine, but I changed....recently.

   So you see, gentlemen, this is not all about you.   Just think of all the flying I have had to do.  Must think of all the sacrifices I have had to make.  Just think of the suffering I have had to endure, and just think about what a stupid waste of time it is for you peons to be here questioning me.   Don't any of you have any idea who I am"  What my importance to the scheme of things on this Planet is?  Do any of you even remotely know what the meaning of is,  is?   I'm leaving.  I have have an appointment with Madge...time for a perm...  Ciao!

Thanks for your time with us Madame Secretary.   Can someone hail (Sir Edmund) a taxi please?

Some Doubt?

To any who might have doubted what El Gringo Viejo might have stated about the kind of people who go to Democrat, marxist, national socialist, or progressive rallys or meetings one can run this bit of video:

A particularly obnoxious anti-OROG accused your humble servant of maligning the people who are robbed by the one-percent.   Please forgive this view of your national patrimony, the capital and capitol grounds and environs.   It is called the Nagin / Blanco effect....Let something negative and/or really bad happen in a place where you are in charge, and then blame George Bush.

This clip is after Glen Beck's Rally "Restoring Honour" a few months ago, also on the mall. Something like 800,000 in attendance, all of whom had to pay their own way, and take care of themselves, their neighbours, and be stewards of their surroundings.  For them, it came

naturally.

 

 

Thanks for the extra time.

All Nature of Vileness

 

     

     

It brings back a lot of Memories....but I can still see the tobacco smoke streaming up from the crowd, and shining with the stadium lights beaming down on the lung-filtered swirls...it was beautiful.
 

     Some months ago, we wrote briefly about the time Paul Harvey, as a very young firebrand, conservative speaker, came to McAllen and the Lower Rio Grande Valley on a speaking tour.  It was something like Limbaugh's "Rush to Excellence" period back when he first went on nation-wide AM radio.   Paul Harvey, with his trademark pauses and smiling through clenched teeth as he spoke, was an acclaimed speaker and radio personality, already surpassing Aurthur Godfrey and Edward R. Murrow as America's favourite voice from the magic box.
     To make the story short, McAllen in those days was almost a perfect place.   If people were to be transported back to that place and that time, some would think they had entered Stepford.  The differences were that it was real and the people were not perfect or clone-like, but they were a noble sort...warts, scars, and all. 

     Paul Harvey filled the north half of the football stadium (he could have filled the entire stadium several times over, but he did not like to turn his back on his audience as he spoke) 2,500 folks of all stripes and types.  We played and sang the national anthem (McAllen High had a really good band) and had an invocation presented the colours and said the pledge of allegiance...(that was before Yahweh had been born apparently)... and then Paul Harvey said, "Good Evening...Ladies.....and Gentlemen."
 

       He then went on to extoll the notion that all men were entitled and had a right to food, a job, housing, a fair and living wage, an education, and a system where medical services could be provided at no cost, because...by any standard, religious, moral, or ethical...no man should be allowed to profit from another man's illness.
 

     Paul Harvey had an IQ of about 160.   He was spellbinding on the radio, but in person he could make people nod in agreement to anything.   Even if he were to say "Fish for sale!"...most or all of a crowd would be nodding in agreement.   As he spoke it was clear that he was setting up our rustic little grey cells, because there was a lot of pleasant nodding going on.  Everything he was saying was nice, considerate, generous, and comfy.



     My father was embarrassing my mother, because he kept muttering in his very baritone voice..."That's all wrong" "That's not true" "That's Roosevelt's jibberish" "Can't work"...with my mother saying "Sshhhhh! " about every twelve seconds. She sounded like one of the old steam locomotives still in use over at the Southern Pacific about 4 blocks west of the stadium, letting off brake.

      Then there was a long....long...pause by Mr. Harvey.   Ladies stopped fanning themselves. Men stopped chewing on their cigars and puffing on their Camels and Luckies and Pall Malls. Did the microphone go dead? Is something wrong? All craned forward to see what problem might have befallen out visitor. He was looking down, from behind the lectern, that was mounted on a flatbed trailer with green cemetery carpet and R/W/B bunting all around its perimeter.

    He looked up, still with that smile that was not quite a grin and not quite mischievous, and declared,"Folks, I hate to tell you:     When something sounds too good to be true....you know it almost always has to be false. What I have been telling you for the last eight minutes is published every day in Izvestia, and it is the basic speech given by the commissars in the Soviet Union and communist propagandists everywhere in the world, including right here, in the United States, in our labour unions...in our colleges and universities...in our churches....and sadly even among our major newspapers and from the lips of an increasing number of what Uncle Joe refers to as 'the useful idiots'".

 

 

    Lamentably, the speech intoned yesterday by Obama was something very much akin to the openning remarks made by Paul Harvey on that Spring night in McAllen, Texas.   The dolts at the event (those who were listening) were drooling, Chris Matthews swooning, terms like "Gettysburg" were being used.

    And, when it was all over....and the "minders" were running around prohibiting pictures of the mess, the pampers, the Styrofoam, papers, litter, and garbage strewn throughout the property of everybody/nobody....we knew that the crowd had not been a group of conservatives, or even Republicans, or right-to-lifers, or gun-nuts.   Yes, Virginia, even the gun nut shows are spic and span after everyone goes home.

Obama in a previous life

     But, it seems,  never for a march of the Partido Revolucionario Democratico...the lefty amalgam in Mexico...or the OWS crowd, or even when the original "I have a dream speech" was given...everthing was a mess, and that was before pampers and disposable everything.    The slack jawed and dependent produce graffiti, litter, garbage, ruin, and disorder, and then blame the people who are orderly, clean, and responsible for the mess caused by the morally devoid and dependent.   It goes with the territory of being morally devoid and dependent.  Wherever the Left meets, governs,  or resides,  filth, litter, and degradation presides and remains.

 

     In ever tightening bands, the filthy and incapable are surrounding the bakeries.  Soon they will be led to the galleries to watch the work of the guillotines, led by the servants of Lucifer and the ghost from Hell of the man pictured here on the left....one Monsieur Maximilien Robespierre....who presided over what the Left assures us was 40,000 unfortunates, most of whom needed a bit of a haircut anyway.
     The number of those killed by Robespierre number far, far, greater.  Even children born with title were slaughtered, and literally millions of children were thrown out to starvation and deadly neglect by the loss of their parents and/or other relatives who have been liquidated by the 290 pound falling blade of steel.   Only the simplest of country folk far removed from Paris would even chance taking them in....for those closer to the blade had reasonable fear of Herod's wrath.

     The address made yesterday by the Grand Poseur was essentially a cultural and political declaration of war against free enterprise, normalcy, self-reliance, the Constitution of 1787 / 1789, and any person of free spirited mind and a soul that espouses liberty.    The Gettysburg Address?....I do not think so.    But like the promises made by the "reformers" in those days, and after all the loss of life on all sides, we saw that the promises made to an enslaved mass, once fulfilled, would simply mean that we would all become equal....We were to become all equally enslaved by an increasingly totalitarian and powerful state.   It all seemed to fair at the time, did it not?   The words about equality and fairness are especially comforting, are they not?    Such are the words as they were spoken to the Nazarene during the Temptations.


Pray for the restoration of the American Union that began to be lost at the moment the government established the notion that it could give something to anyone without exacting a terrible price on everyone.
Pray for a peaceful exit of Texas and her entrance into the ranks of Independent Nations.   And further petition Providence that we eschew the temptations that come from the devious minds of people who think they can establish a perfect order on this Earth.
