News from the Sierra Madre Oriental

Crisp mornings....upper thirties to the mid forties...and afternoons that run up to the low eighties.   Things are a bit dry and there is a ragged appearance all about due to the uneven spring greening and blossoming.   We had a three day service interruption in our water delivery and this causes more than a little consternation.  We really cannot water....or really bathe....or whatever because there is no really good way to determine when the service is restored.   Rumours and gossip abound, and there is nothing to be gained by driving over to the watermaster´s home every three hours....to ask the same question...and receive the same deflective, non-informational answer from a family member.

      Water was restored...there had been an attempted theft of a old diversion valve...made of all brass...and this had left the part of the line that served us and about 20 other households  un-fed.    But now all is bliss, because the service is restored, and we are being rewarded with periods of 6 hours of delivery.

 

      We had a very slow period of it concerning the birds until  yesterday....Wednesday.   Then the tree lit up with the usual show of colours and squawking.   A little rain would help.   The Quinta has served well in that during the very brisk nighttime hours and early morning, the temperature has remained at or above 72 degrees.   During a very high wind episode three days ago, we once again did not lose power or even the signal from SKY TELEVISION.

 

     El Gringo Viejo has little to say about the president's address.   It brought to mind a very poor form of those advertisements that deal with Red Chinese junk that always include the admonitions,"....but wait. there's more!"   It was a very un-clever, predictable sermon to the low-information crowd....and a perfect service of government largess designed to enslave the proles.     The pre-school bilge was very interesting due to the fact that it has been demonstrated time after the time that the  Head Start program has serve no academic or assimilation purpose of any merit.  It does provide make-work jobs for lots of people who are willing to do as little as possible so as to have a make-work job handed down by some Democrat ward-boss.

      This incessant bilge about green energy is so pitifully transparent, Spain's much vaunted infrastural renaissance based upon green energy (what is green energy?)  produced a present unemployment rate there in the neighbourhood of 24%.   In the USA it is simply a method of using "free money" to be channeled to papier mache' companies whose executives then dump large sums into various Democrat and leftist coffers.

 

     We have a new deployment of heavy infantry here.   So, apparently the new President of Mexico is keeping his word about the deployment patterns.   This is a group of  about three companies...perhaps 550 or so men and officers....and they are saying that they might be here for some time.   Asides from the incident with the attempted theft of the old brass valve, there is nothing to report concerning the social situation.

 

More later.

El Gringo Viejo

El Zorro sends a message worth the reading....THE NARCISSISM IS DEAFENING

The narcissism is deafening.

It is "all Obama all the time." For four full years there has not been a day remembered that this egotistical mental midget has not appeared on any (and perhaps all) news media. Even if we liked the guy we could not stand the constant hounding. By "we" we mean the average to above average intelligent people in this hemisphere, the left one. He shouts ultimatums from his pulpit "Do it now!", "Get it done!", "If the Congress won't act, I will", "Get it to my desk!", "Pass this bill", and on and on and on. He has no ideas but a single ideology, that being bring everyone down to his ideological level.

It is this writer's opinion that the ideology of Barack Hussein Obama is just that simple. He has a severe inferiority complex that stems from his lack of parental stability. He has more than one mother, figuratively, and just one real father he can only dream about. The pseudo father figures in his life were radicals, philanderers, drunks, and losers. From his own book we know he admired the worst of mankind and deplored the successful virtuous of them. His education consisted of personal experience that could only fill him with anger. His associations, few as they were, in his formative years were spoiled college kids with whom he could not compete and lower class "friends" who shared socialist ideas, not to mention marijuana and cocaine.

Evidence of his inferiority complex is his selection of political appointments. Since the beginning of his administration we have seen him lean on strong personalities for his ideas. One example is Rahm Emanuel, who was the strong arm or enforcer/bully whom he used to pick on other cabinet members and congressmen to get his way, especially in the case of the Affordable Health Care Act. Now Emanuel is suspiciously gone, probably because he was too powerful for Obama to contain. Then there is Hillary Clinton who is to Obama a threatening figure he was compelled to keep close rather than risk the wrath of Bill Clinton. His other appointments consist of "yes" people he can hold in front of him as targets. Notable ones are Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Sebelius, Ray LaHood, Ken Vilsak, Hilda Solis, and Ken Salazar. What have these cabinet members done on their own? What ideas have they brought to the table? What are they known to be exceptional for? They are simply Obama's human shields spouting the Obama propaganda. Then, last but not least are "Tiny Tim" Geithner, Eric Holder, and Leon Paneta. These are his selections for important cabinet posts and none of them have credentials that would be considered exceptional (except for tax cheat, Fast and Furious, and premature withdrawal and announcement of withdrawal from Afganistan respectively). There are others that do not come immediately to mind. Now we will see other suck ups in the persons of Chuck Hagel, John Brennan, and John Kerry.

Chuck Hagel is anti-Israel by his own comments in 2007 "...Jewish lobby intimidated lawmakers." As a Senator he opposed the surge in Iraq which was hugely successful. He refuses to label Iran as a terrorist state. His posture in this position is a mirror of Obama's. He is touted as a war hero. That is a credential which is considered as untouchable; however, he was an enlisted soldier which does not in any manner qualify him to be the head guy in Defense. The enlisted forces are very important to the nation's defense but they, as individuals, do not have the big picture and are not necessarily privy to the total military strategy of the United States. He was drafted into the Army which does not detract from his service but he reports that he enlisted. It is not certain exactly how his enlistment occurred but it is sure that he was drafted if before he enlisted.

John Brennan is being nominated for the position of Director of the CIA. He has been a favorite of Obama's since he took office. Brennan is considered the architect of the drone program, that being the war strategy that Obama singularly takes credit for. Brennan supported torture; however, in his nomination hearings he denied his support of water boarding which he formerly supported. He has trouble answering yes or no questions. He will be a terrific addition to Obama's collection of Czars.

John Kerry is the President's selection for Secretary of State. This is a man who was "...against it, er uh no, for it, no, against it before he was against it before he was for against it." Seriously, John Kerry was a non-war hero who is given hero status by the adoring media. He saw no significant combat relative to soldiers who endured ground combat for at least a full tour in Vietnam. Kerry was "in country" for three months on a river boat. His actual duty and service there is questionable by his counterparts in the Navy at the time. He bordered on treasonous speech after his service when he denounced the Vietnam War. This guy takes credit for being a hero on one hand and denounces his actions on the other. He is perfect selection for Obama.

These last three appointees fill out the presidents foreign policy shields. They have and will support him (take bullets for him, figuratively) on all matters of war and relations with the rest of the world.

In short, Obama is an average IQ coward who surrounds himself with average IQ shields. He will take credit for what works, and avert and assign blame when policies do not work.

On the domestic side, he thinks we have to "pay" for tax cuts. That makes no sense at all. The money not taxed belongs to the people, not the government. He points out that we are in deep trouble financially. He says we need additional taxes to pay off the debt but will not consider any cuts in his ridiculous health care plan. His bailouts of the housing and other industries are unaffordable and not even necessary. If an individual or a business does not manage well enough to survive, it is time for them to figure it out themselves. The government under the Constitution has no duty or responsibility to do these things. This president is out of control on all levels and should be investigated by the Congress for impeachment for violations of the Constitution. Unfortunately he has the power to intimidate, the Congress, the Courts, and most of all, the media. Examples of issues for impeachment or at least violation of the Constitution are clear, one being the non-recess appointments of NLRB members. Also, by executive order, he ordered that federal officials not deport or prosecute illegal immigrants. Then it is questionable that any or all of his twenty-three executive orders regarding gun control are constitutional. There are other examples to numerous to count. If there were a serious effort to impeach him, the ammo is available.

We have four full years to suffer this dictator like, self-assigned monarch of the United States. Obama is everywhere on the Internet, TV, radio, and news media. It is incumbent on us not to tune out but to listen, no matter how distasteful, to hear and read between the lines what he is saying. If there is an opportunity to end his presidency by impeachment we all have to participate. We would recommend a contribution to the Landmark Legal Foundation. They are actively pursuing legal action against the unconstitutional acts of this president as we speak. They have cases on several different issues not the least is the repeal of Obama care. Please consider at least giving the web site a look. It costs nothing and contributions are IRS deductable as they are a 501(c) tax-exempt organization.

Keep the faith, protect the Constitution, and God bless us all.

The Problem is Addressed by Neither Side, especially the Democrat

_______________________

    The pointless posturing continues.  Each side going to bat in the standard ways.  The Democrats howl to the moon that the Republicans want human trafficking and low wages paid, and they are compulsive slavers and sweat shop operators...and oh! the poor immigrants because we are all immigrants.  What a bunch of bigots who are afraid of people who don't look like them!   They intone it in the tones of a sanctimonious religious leader...like Jimmy Jones perhaps.   And the Democrats never quite want to take care of the problem, of course,  because it behooves them to keep it around....every two years...like Social Security...to try to scare the stupid, ignorant, and unfamiliar into trundling down to vote for their self interests instead of the Country's interest.

 

   As stated before, there is no hispanic issue to be had, won, or lost here.  If we play that game, all is lost.   Please notice that we win when we fight back and fight back vigourously. The National Rifle Association was laughed at throughout the Obsolete Media for being so stupid and fascist and racist to propose armed security at schools...HAHAHHAHAAHHAAA, what a bunch of hill-billy, stupid hicks .hhHhHHHAAAaahahahaaaaha.

     Bulletin:   armed security intervenes and captures shooter in Atlanta School 28 January 2013....bulletin....Newtown, Connecticut schools endorse armed security at schools....bulletin, Earth to Obsolete Media Arrogant Fools - Texas has many, if not the majority of schools covered at this time by private, city, or university police departments who are armed.   Many schools have armed and are continuing to arm up via conceal carry by teachers, janitors, and administrators.

 

      There is an understanding even among many of the right-brained people that force, nay, overwhelming force is necessary when confronting a demon who is using armed force.   Please imagine, as the Beatles would snidely say...that Whoopee Goldberg is a member of the NRA, along with many other leftists.

     We do best when we fight back and make our cases, and when we do not wait for permission or approval to speak and act from our enemies.   The Socialist Democrats desire our total evaporation from the social, cultural, and political theatre.

    

     In terms of immigration, neither the Socialist Democrats nor the Republicans care to solve the problem with any reasonable solution.   All the mechanisms are available at this time.  The muslim extremist movement and the Marasalva Trucha and FARC make it even more urgent...long past urgent....since all these contaminants are heavily involved on American soil at this time.  They have entered through Mexico, Canada, and through our laterals.   The number of common legal and illegal Mexican aliens living in the United States has actually declined during the past couple of years.  Some of that is due to the all but exploding Mexican economy, and some of it is because of the stagnation that stimulus programs by governments always cause.

     The Trojan Horse and Camel's Nose in the Tent play that was used during the last Amnesty came back to bite normalcy on the ankle.   "We just want to legalise and give a pathway to normalcy for these people upon whom we depend so much", quickly became...authorisation to bring in relatives of the first AND second level relation.  Then, wonders of wonders, it was noticed that THE PROGRAM HAD ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT UPON THE ENTRY OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THAT THE NEWER GROUPS OF ''LEGALISED'' AND THE NEW ILLEGAL ALIENS were a terribly unproductive lot.

   They stopped long enough to throw their garbage out on someone else's property, and then the next morning made a beeline  to the Texas Department of Human Refuse.   It is pitiful in a way because these people frequently were under the opinion that their path was the correct and normal one....as if it was something that all Americans and people who live in America are supposed to do.

     Once the Welfare Reforms went into effect, there was very, very little effort to clear the previous abusers off the rolls.   State welfare workers, under pressure from the central government in Washington D.C. remain compelled to avoid requiring proof of legal status, and programs such as medicaid, section 8, food stamps, AFDC,  WIC, Head Start, School Lunch,  Summer free lunch, electricity subsidy, and almost total exemption from the law concerning licensing of drivers, inspection stickers, liability insurance coverage for the "poor immigrants'' continued without abatement.

     The "growth" along the southern border of the the Republic of Texas was almost totally due to the peon-mentality people who poured over directly and indirectly prompted by the First Amnesty.   Not too hidden in their ranks were several score thousand anchor-baby-mothers.  These are girls who are either already awaiting the stork, or who are finding a place where they can cause to happen the things that put the storks to flight.    In the opinion of El Gringo Viejo they are the close relatives of the the cowbird, who specialises in flying into the next of freshly laid Oriole or Mockingbird eggs and leaving her egg with the other expectant mother, during that expectant mother's absence.   That kind of generousity is to be admired, I guess.

   Here, the anchorbabymothers fly into the Partera's (midwives') clinics, frequently operated by "independent midwives" who are actually agents of liberation-theology psuedo-Roman Catholic nuns and political groups such as the "Farmworkers Union"  (an inaccurate catch-all phrase, a holdover from past days).   The worst of the pseudo nuns is the Maryknoll order, which is essentially a marxist social sabotage group whose mission it is to flood the United States and Mexico with as many unqualified consumers as possible for the purpose of breaking the treasury and causing ethnic and racial tensions.

    My tension is with them, and not the dumboe cowbird girl who is not intellectually equipped to even consider, much less understand, that she is a useful lackey for communists and leftist ghouls.

 

 

THE SOLUTION:   

     (I)    The first solution is for Texas to re-establish itself as an independent nation with the right and reponsibility to establish control on its border and to normalise the free flow of people who represent no threat to the peace and/or prosperity of this Republic or to the Republic of Mexico and any of it several member Sovereign States.

      Either with the American Republic or the Texian, it is necessary to enforce the rule that is still there but never regarded.   The legal alien came into this country under the certain agreement that he would not become a public ward and that he would not be a threat to the common good or the domestic tranquility.   In days not at all long past, the United States would require of a person gaining resident alien status that he have a responsible sponsor who would ensure that the new arrival would not become either a menace to others or a pubic ward.

     That is what must be done now....and I mean RAT NOW!

 

    (II)    The second solution is to seek out the Parteras' clinics and put them under the legal control and operatin of the County Health Department in the various counties of the Republic of Texas.   If a cowbird anchorbabymother comes in for her "free delivery'' and the subsequent automatic enrollment into 30,000 dollars worth of "free public assistance" PER ANNUM, then the  baby will be taken from her and taken to a RoT Post Natal  &  Pre-Adoption  facility.
      The reason, you see, is that the baby anchors her in the country because she is the only care giver.   The conundrum is that she cannot legally be here, but she can't be deported because she is the only source of support and nurture for the baby, who is incorrectly considered to be an American citizen.  The determination that the baby is an American citizen is based upon the notion that  a set of constitutional amendments  that cause all babies born over American soil to be American citizens.   The constitutional Amendments are the XIIIth and the XIVth which address the requirement that Negroes born into slavery or free, were to be considered to be and in fact be American citizens and citizens of the States wherein they were born or now reside.   The effort to recognise people being thrust out of bondage and into freeman status was the only intent of those Amendments.   Pinko judges and sloughy brained dumboes gradually developed the notion that some kind of radioactive y-factor gamma and ocean waves caused the baby born in  Kansas, on a hijacked airliner arriving from Japan, with an Argentine woman and her Ukranian husband being the new parents...to be an American citizen baby.   Such a notion is patenty ridiculous and will be dealt with suddenly  by the new Texian Congress, as it refines our bulky, somewhat Mexican-style Constitution of 1876.
     She will be advised that her baby has been taken for a first period of 30 days, and that within that time frame the new mother was to find the father and  have him come in for a DNA, finger, toe, hand, and foot printing, iris scan and a series of photograph including any and all scars, knive and bullet wounds, etc.   He will also be subject to alcohol and drug analysis and a moral exam, including but not limited to any criminal record or activity anywhere in the world, with emphasis on the the Republic of Texas and the American Republic.   He will be told that, if his DNA show that he is the baby's biological father, then he needs to check this block indicating that he refuses to accept paternity.   He has already been judged by the TEX. DEPT. of Child Protective Services, because he did not pay the 3,000 dollar charge 90 days before the anticipated normal delivery, nor did he visit the baby until being detained and brought to the Republic of Texas Post Natal and Pre-Adoption facility.
     The mother is advised that her "friend" has rejected the baby and her.  If he is an American, Texan, or a legal alien he will be released to the police for a further review of his standing with the criminal justice system.   She, as an illegal alien, is immediately moved to the Republic of Texas  undesirable alien removal facility at the nearest port of entry.   She is advised that the next time she comes to the Republic of Texas to do her cowbird dance to get on Texian welfare so as to be a muumuu wearing, gargage throwing, food-stamping slug watching telenovelas, she will be spayed and sent to prison for three years.   She will be charged with impositive hubris, which will be considered a form of conduct one level below treason and murder.    The idea of having a baby to live off of, paid for by foreigners. PLEASE! Give me a break.

     (III)    It is difficult for normal people to understand the innate good and positive effect of Mexicans, Texans  of Mexican ancestry, and the whole Latin thing in Texas is and has been.  The rot began when public assistance was dangled out one more time to a body of people that the Socialist Democrats have been bound and determined to enslave into the welfare dependency that typifies the  slight majority now of all Socialist Democrat Party voters.
     The fact is that the Democrats are the ones who are worried about the "Hispanic Vote" .  It is not spoken about by the Obsolete media, but the fact is that the graph of the Latino vote actually continues to edge up.  Romney could have done wonders by pointing up his many Mexican cousins and his whole Mormon - Mexico involvement...even a visit to the nice places where his blood-line still prospers and sets a free enterprise, Christian ethic example for addressing life's issues.
      There is so much positive about our undertandings and interinvolvments here in Texas and the Democrats are driven crazy by the fact that as Latinos approach the 30 year life-mark they begin to slide off to the right and also tend to become more involved in voting.  Romney and McCain and Bush all failed in not wrapping their arms around the issue with strong olive branch...historical realities...and lightning bolt explanations.   But they all allowed themselves to try to be Democrat light....It is very difficult to make the "general population" understand how bitter the Latin people who have been here and who are established and the ones who came and did everything normally and legally  RESENT  being lumped into something like THE HISPANIC VOTE.   The military, social, and philosophical nature of those people is so profoundly  "American" in nature that they cannot help but feel slighted by attention being given to the people who whelp out gang members, drive-bys, dependency....almost all of whom are 1st  and 2nd and now 3rd generational welfare abusers and addicts.    THEY DO NOT EVEN LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBOURHOODS normally.


With all of this, I must retire.  Tomorrow morning its off for the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre, aka "The Adobe Hut"...and numerous projects.   Please stay in with us and see what posting we can make from El Zorro and from the area of the Quinta.  These are interesting times.

Help with this, please

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

      El Zorro sent this in to the little adobe hut on the side of the Sierra Madre Oriental.  He has a friend with access to such interesting missives, and it is shared with all now.   We leave it to the OROGs devices to determine the value of the guidance the words provide.  If this writing by the newspaper's contributor is something serious, then I concur and agree with El Zorro's lament.

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

 He writes:     


     I don’t know what publication came from, but the editor is just as dull as the person who wrote this dribble. Unfortunately, this is the mentality that pervades our society today and the reason we have the ilk they elected ruining it. If reason does not prevail in 2014 we may be finished.

 

This is a letter to the editor, written ostensibly by
a proud Democrat.   The errors in logic, in deduction,
and in fact are so predictable and astonishing that
El Gringo Viejo at first thought that it must have been
sent in by a Republican / Conservative trying to be
sarcastic, and poking fun at the illogique that is share
by Democrats, both the low information voter and the
obsolete, elitist media informed, Martha's Vineyard
type Democrat voter.

We leave it to the OROG to make up his/her mind.

Something upon which to gnaw your teeth.  Depressing at best.
El Gringo Viejo

Quick Points

(1)   The explosions in Turkey and Mexico are perplexing.  Barak and Hillary have their Love Dance of Death, before they begin to rip each other to shreds later, to pat each other on the back for saving the Arab world from itself.   And they are content in the knowledge that  the Arab world is very proud of Obama and America.   Just think, they say to themselves, on the air, of all the things Barry and Hilly have done for and given to the women and the children.   And, while the Turks and the Kurds are not Arabs, they are Muslims.   Something is going on, there.

     There is also a problem with the explosion in Mexico City.   The PEMEX central administration building there in near-northcentral Mexico City is a wondrous building, very modern, a building that has scoffed at 7 and 8 level earthquakes.   The best way to structurally compromise a building of this sort is to destablise it from the lowest point possible.  Obviously, a bomb of the highest potency possible is the best solution.   Even the "Blind Sheik" knew that before he tried to blow down the Twin Towers in 1993.

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



The 50+ story PEMEX
central administration
 building

    Both of these events could be just what they seem to be.   The one in Turkey is just a run of the mill lunatic Muslim extremist trying to get to the front of the 72 virgin line.  And the one in Mexico is just an incident of oversight of a boiler or the like.   The problem with the Mexico angle is that El Gringo Viejo had opportunity to work inside of that building on a couple of occasions, and its ventilation and exhausting of the auxiliary power and climate control/filtering/air movement  systems was quite good.    It was not a Mickey Mouse operation, although PEMEX is frequently criticised for a myriad of errors in terms of corruption and maintenance throughout the country.   It must, as well, be pointed out that PEMEX over the last 10 years especially has made great strides to become a "thoroughly modern Millie", and they really never were so totally corrupt as some might have suggested.  There is a saying in Texas, among those who have dealt with PEMEX, and that is "Nobody has ever taken a PEMEX check that bounced."....and that is true.   The Mexicans are so dumb that they even paid off the bonds that they used to indemnify the Foreign Oil interests after the expropriation in 1938.

     The reason that El Gringo Viejo is concerned about this is because Pen~a Nieto is leaving the door pretty much wide open to the possibility of significant privatisation of the government owned company.    Many Mexican  Bill Aires types lurk around in Mexico...unrepentant, unconvicted, communists, murderers....who are TOTALLY opposed to PEMEX privatisation.  Therefore, it follows,"If I am against something, I get to kill innocent people because I am against something." 

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

(2)   We shall be down at our little place on the face of the Sierra Madre Orental for the next little while.  We should be able to maintain a fairly frequent contact with everyone via email and this blog.  It is time to do considerable pruning and preparation, as well as to begin the last stages of a couple of projects that are unfinished.   Nothing too difficult, but things that need to be done have a way of needing to be done.   We are going to have, by this time next year, a carport with a crown of bouganvilla and duranta that will make all the ladies in the ejido bitterly green with envy.  It will also serve to demonstrate that El Gringo Viejo stayed in with them during a  Winter of Discontent that was quite a trial for everyone.  While it was not like Valley Forge, it was, is, and will be a life-moment that leaves certain scars.

     We are not done with the issue as of yet, but there are assurances that the Army remains and the Naval Infantry remains, and to this point what has been promised militarily has also been complied with.  The willingness of the common people of the area to drop dimes has been a pivotal point in the victories accomplished to this point, and we are  hopeful that we can move now into a new era of passive enforcement.

      This has all seemed to pretty much follow El Gringo Viejo's timeline of events.   If anything, it is a little quicker than we thought possible.   In any regard, we have continued along our path, openly, so as to underscore our commitment with the local people, most of whom know that El Gringo Viejo is crazy, but who still like to point out that he hasn't done a lot of damage to the Ejido de Francisco I. Madero and that they tolerate funny-looking foreign people who talk in funny languages.

El Zorro lives on the other side of these mountains
a good long ride from here.   El Gringo Viejo
lives on this side.

(3)    We are going to be requesting that El Zorro send a commentary once every four to seven days...more if he can find the time.   We will rely on his input during these coming days if he wishes...and it would be preferred that his contributions be as frequent as he can manage.



 

     El Zorro is a specialist in areas where El Gringo Viejo is not.  He and I agree and/or concur to a 99% level on everything.   He remains an American, however while I have decided to jump the fence and become a Texian,  native born and by birthright.  His takes are refreshingly different from El Gringo Viejo's....although he is native born as a Texian, and with even a greater lineage and birthright to declare himself Texian.
     So, we hope to be bringing you a little more of the ranting, conjecture, observations, and conclusions that reasonable men do when confronting obstinance, arrogance, and  destructive forces that work against our understanding of right and wrong, good and bad.    I shall try to chime in when possible from my place on the side of the mountains. Some day soon, we shall spring for the antennae adapter for a laptop tap computer (I know...sooooo 2012)...that can be used by guests to essentially make face to face phone calls, etc.  We have that capacity now available, but I am just to cheap and lazy to do anything about it.   Maybe down the road.

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

(4) To those American Republicans who still think your ship of state is salvagable, we urge that you advise the Republican Party that issues raised by the Socialist Democrat Party are not issues with which you should identify, nor concern yourselves.   Among the Anglos you are not going to gain the votes of the steely-eyed marxists, the lazy union thug who thinks he deserves something, the spoiled and narcissistic child who wants to be given  a starter position at 56,000 dollars/year just because he graduated from RustBuckette University with a BA in the History of Left-handed Toothbrush Repair.   You are not going to gain the votes of the Anglo guy with the Meth Lab in his baby daughter's crib room.
     The same goes for trying to assume that "all Hispanics...." anything.   The consumer/dependent class of Latins are drawn from a tradition of peonage that was almost abolished, but that the Mexican central government kept on life supports for the entire post-revolutionary period until around 1996.  There are still vestiges, official supports for prices, silly medical and food programs, and so forth, although theirs are being refined and are being morphed into private sector alternatives.
        We have invited the left-overs unto ourselves in the United States, and they have arrived with a vengeance with the notion that "Uncle Sam and Tio Obamaham, is better than that stupid Mexican government that just doesn't seem to want to give a single mom with four "special needs" babies ages 1 through 5 about 90,000 dollars/year worth of food, shelter,
"free"medical care, therapy for her children's various birth defects, transportation, WIC, AFDC, etc.     You, as Republicans will never be able or prepared  to provide that to her or anyone else.
       Only the Democrats and corrupt businesses (collaborators in socialist deviancy) practice this insanity.   If you, as Republicans, try to out "immigration" or out "welfare" the Hispanic issue from the Democrats, you will lose because the Socialist Democrats are not bound by the truth, and they will always outbid you.   The Republicans promised you a 29,000 inch 5 dimensional Televsion made in Red China, we are giving you 70 million inch atomic television that pours out 30 million barrels of beer and doritos per second and shoots quadzillions of pampers per second into every parking lot and sidewalk in a billion, million universes.
     The Socialist Democrats can and will promise to teach all of your children about diabetes and how it is the pinche gabachos' fault, and they will provide free classes in soccer and how to form new gang signs and do indelible graffiti.   Plus they will provide free funerals for all family members killed in drive-by shootings when the shooters are using firearms released to gang members and criminal elements by the USGovernment.

   In short, you must only be concerned with Latin people as you are concerned with all people.   "Our people" are the skilled labour people, the professional people, the "worked their way to be manager at MacDonalds people, the small business people, the professional and trades people, military and most police people....that is where our people are....and there is not a dime's worth of differernce among them when they are all together supporting an issue.  Their commonality of thought is amazing.   THEY ARE THE STRAIGHT-THINKING HUMANS.   In Texas among the Latins, the percentage of conservative voters has increased.  So please do not listen to Socialist Democrats diagnose and prescribe concerning maladies within the conservative and/or Republican group.

My faith and certain knowledge  is that the Republicans will not listen to this madman,  shouting in the wilderness.   They are driven to be kinder and gentler and to be liked, when it is written, "Dependent proles and consumers HATE REPUBLICANS.  Republicans have things and also make the dependent people who live by invading the work and investments of other feel guilty. They make up for their guilt by HATING REPUBLICANS.  THEY HATE REPUBLICANS."   See the words glowing on the wall!

 We shall depart the field of battle for a bit.  Perhaps to-night and to-morrow we shall buckle the swash, scale the mael, prance the lance and all that good stuff.  Come Watson!  Bring your pistol! The game's afoot!

El Zorro lives on the other side of those mountains...quite a long ride by horse. El Gringo Viejo lives on this side.

El Zorro says in few words what others fail to say in many

Your January 30 journal was spot on.

I wish you un viaje bueno hasta que vuelva.

Just a couple of issues of frustration.....


 

Gun Show Loop Hole?:

Does no one understand the BATF regulation on transfers of firearms?
 

       It is simply this. Individuals can trade, sell, or anywise convey firearms to other individuals in the same state (no registration or notification required) if there is no reason to believe the transferee is not a criminal and known to be unfit to possess a firearm. Period! In the case of a gun show, individuals who have guns or, paraphernalia relating to such that they wish to convey, they can purchase space at a gun show and transact business as individuals. It is obvious that individuals who take their wares to the gun show have the advantage of exposure, but there is no loophole!!
 

If they say it long enough the sheep will believe it. (egv adds - Goebbels, right?)

     In the same vein, it is very annoying and destructive to the purpose that the political and media conspirators continue to call violence control, “gun control” and “gun violence”. To call it that is to imply that guns are the total issue when guns without a shooter are useless to any purpose. Guns obviously are a tool a criminal can use to commit violence as is poison, bomb, knife, hatchet, hands, feet, rocks, in ad infinitem. “...hearings on ‘gun violence’ my butt. Arrrrrrrggghhhh!!!!

Talk to you soon my friend.

El Gringo Viejo adds only that what Jim is saying is so readily understood hereabouts that I was wondering why it had to be said...but it must.  The human beings and OROGs must also understand that any real live gun show is normally crawling with every known type of BATF-A.    It is always just a dull and boring grouping of collectors, investors, and shoppers  who normally are more numerous than people who are buying so as to burn up ammunition at the firing range.  At these "horrible, dangerous gun shows", everybody is armed, and there are never any problems.  That alone should be a lesson to somebody.
