Zombo Queen of Mendazia

 

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

 

 

You know?  Sometimes a picture
just doesn't need a caption

 

      This is a hard one to figure.   We have not been able to determine if this individual is a Zombotron from the Planet Zombo, or out of a parallel universe called Mendazia.   She is, as almost all of the Obamabots, and as almost all marxists, completely incapable of telling any form of the truth.  Her main claim to fame is that she is an advocate of partial birth abortions up to and including the age of 26, since all such medical procedures are now free if the child is living with his parents....who are also free...if the Soylent Green factory is running low on ....how do you say .....supplies.

 

     Her greatest moment in terms of public service was like Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco in Louisiana.   The saying is, "First, do nothing.  Then, wait for the Obsolete Press to pour into the flooded-out scene of New Orleans.   Then, do nothing.   After a couple of days, blame Bush."

 

     This is what the above-pictured individual did during the floods that affected her State while she was governess of said State.  She declared that she could not do much to abate the flooding because Bush had taken her National Guard soldiers and equipment off to the Iraq War.  Her own adjutant had to contradict her the next day, while adding that all necessary works had been done to prevent major flooding in the areas that could be defended, according to Plan A, about which her governorship knew nothing.  She did know how to lie however, and when called on her mendacity, she giggled and said, "Well, that's what they told me to say at the DNC  (Terry McCauliffe was the head of the DNC at the time)."

 

     How many mendacious marxist hags could one administration have in eight years.  We thought that Billy Jeff Blythe had set an unbreakable record.

 

Wondering if the Republic can withstand any more Hope and Change, we remain,

Sincerely appreciative for the presence of OROGs in the Cosmos.

Special Message for Charlie Rangel, Paragon of Virtue

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

 

 

     United States Representative to the United States Lower House of the Congress took issue with the demonstration by the Veterans over the past few days.  He was especially dismayed to note that the Tea Party, right wing extremists were showing their Klanner characteristics when it was noted that there was a Confederate Battle Flag seen at the congregation near the White House.   One.  A single flag.   Among thousands of truly distressed people who resented the idea that something so innocuous as a monument commemorating the contributions of fallen soldiers from World War II would be blocked from visitation, and the accommodation of illegal aliens to demonstrate their hatred for their hosts would be permitted,  while the same grounds were prohibited to Veterans to visit, in their latter days, a monument to their fallen buddies.

 

     Charlie, you are a slug.   You call us racists, when your entire life...with very few exceptions...has been guided by your own particular brand of self-serving demagoguery and racism.  Without it you would never have qualified to be a part-time relief taxi driver.  You were willing to shill and mislead so that you could lounge around with your walrus carcass by your pool in Santo Domingo.

 

     Concerning your reference to the "racist" Confederate Battle Flag, and your assumption that it was there because Obama is a Negro....there are two points.
     Point One:   Barack Hussein Obama has no chromosomic relationship to anything that has anything to do with the American Negro Experience.  His father was a misogynist, communist, anti-colonialist, low-grade terrorist, polygamist, drunken drug addict who finally killed himself in a drunken, drug-stewed stupor while taking his last drive in the Kenyan outback.  Obama's Negro ancestry had nothing of the American experience.  It is Kenyan, and his father only briefly moved around on American soil, and most of that movement was in the pursuit of women of whom he could advantage himself sexually and beat up.   He also managed to abandon his one child that he fathered by an underaged American female.

    At the time Barack Hussein Obama's father had at least three other wives.   Barack Hussein Obama never had any significant relationship with his father.....the one who gave him his passport into the Negro race.   So therefore, do not lecture me or anyone else if you wish to be a logical arguer of fact, that somehow it is "racist" to vigorously oppose the policies that white people who are communists and marxists have crammed into the vacuous head of an empty suit whose forte is the reading of scrolls in a teleprompter. 
 

      Point Two:   Barack Hussein Obama knows nothing of the American Negro Experience....Nat King Cole, Jackie Robinson, Frederick Douglass, the War Between the States, Booker Tecumseh Washington, the Platters, and on and on. Slavery?   Manumission? Black Confederate Veterans?  He knows nothing of those things and could care less.  He is a marxist and a narcissist.   Not a good mix.

 

     So, Charlie....with hands and soul thoroughly stained by corruption....please understand one thing.  Were Barack Hussein Obama to be a white man like Clinton or Carter there would have been hundreds if not thousands more Confederate Flags at the White House fences. The Confederate emblems, in these times, means little more than that of being a symbol of the defence of the 10th Amendment and deference to local control.  Your symbol is that of a wasted old man, flopped on a pool lounge chair with a "tropical drink" sunning yourself.,,,,living on the blood, sweat, and efforts of the productive masses.

Some Facts about Welfare.

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

Statistics on welfare? How many people are on welfare? Welfare demographics?  How much money can you make and still receive welfare?, How many states does welfare pay more than minimum wage?  What per cent of recipients stay on welfare for how long?  What are the top 10 states that pay the highest amount in average welfare per month?  Information on welfare per state?  How many Americans are on welfare?   What is the number of Americans collecting unemployment ?    (It should be noted that the word "American" may be overused in the table included below, because certain numbers of participants are legal and illegal aliens.   Illegal Aliens under complete public assistance support include the two individuals pictured below.)

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

 

     As all OROGs know, we are bitterly opposed to the concept of governmentally provided public assistance to individuals and/or families.  We, as a nation, have become accustomed to the dysfunctional notion that there needs to be a "safety net" for the populace, administered by a benign, charitable, understanding, and deeply generous Uncle.   In sociological and/or anthropological terms such an understanding and practice inevitably leads to cultural rot and the eventual suicide of the society so involved.

     It also leads to the attraction of flies to garbage instead of bees to flowers.  The bee arrives at a place that is foreign to him and immediately sets about to work his way...and his community's way...into prosperity and abundance.   He even allows the owner of the place where he dwells to profit by that owner's industriousness, and the work ethic of that bee.  Each can injure the other, but after a not-too-long period of understanding, they each begin to work together to the benefit of each.

     About the only thing that flies can provide us are certain maggots that can be used to clean dead tissue out of wounds in a more effective way than surgery might.

 

    We might note in the graphic provided below that the Latin group composes 15.7 per cent of the total group receiving public assistance.  That is a bit higher than the total that the Latinate group composes of the overall population.   Most of that overage is found among the illegal and extra-legal  population that has entered into the United States since around 1980.

     The generally White group still accounts for about 70 per cent of the overall population of the United States and makes up 38.8 per cent of the consumer class.

 

      The Negro element of the population, after years and years of specific assault by demagogues and charlatans, totally for selfish political reasons has allowed itself to be reduced to all but a slave race.  With about 11.5 per cent of the overall population, they constitute almost 40 per cent of the consumer group of public assistance.   There is nothing more that one can say than to state clearly that in cultural terms is it catastrophic.   We recently watched a programme on the tele that pointed out one of the first labour organisation of the Black folks was an extremely prestigious Brotherhood of Pullman Car Porters.

     Why is this important?   Because as the 18th Century became the 19th Century there were gradually more and more educated Negroes who were studied AND who had an absolute catechism AND who had a work ethic that was second to none.   They, knowing their self-worth, knew that they were more than qualified to attend and service a Pullman Sleeper, usually loaded with a bunch of presumptuous, even if pleasant, rich white folks.  THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, OVER THE YEARS ABOUT THOSE WHO COMPOSED THIS SERVICE WAS, IN ANY REASONABLE ESTIMATE, ALMOST NIL.  They attended, maintained strict sanitation, comfort, and conversation.  They could black shoes for the passengers' de-boarding in style and carry on significant conversation about matters ranging from the arts, to philosophy, to history, geography, current events, etc. etc. etc. , all in a collegiate form of the English language.   It is said that their motto was "Service, not servility".

     It is true enough that the "Brotherhood" was a labour union, although it had to fight to even be accepted by the true racists, those being the leftist white union bosses of the American Federation of Labour and its cousin the Council of Industrial Organisations that fought to the end to prevent Negroes from "invading" the union labour ranks.

     Now we have Crips, Bloods, and variations thereof. And, there is a near 80% illegitimacy rate in terms of baby production, when it is known that the majority of those birthings will lead further into the abyss of  multigenerational welfare dependency.

 BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

Happy New Year from Uncle Omar!

      Yes, it’s the president’s beloved Uncle Omar, chilling out Friday night at the Chicken Bone in Framingham, the same bar outside of which he was arrested for drunk driving last summer. He’s got a full beard now, but he was easy to spot. The illegal alien fondly known as “Stinky” to the patrons of his workplace, Conti’s Liquors, was by himself, wandering the ginmill, a glass of brown water in his hand. (Read the photographer’s account below). Odd, though, that he wasn’t vacationing with the rest of the family in Hawai i'.   Guess his invitation and plane tickets were lost in the mail.

      It would have been easy for the Framingham PD to stake out the Bone, but it probably wouldn’t have been wise — his lawyer has already accused the cops of violating his Fourth Amendment rights by stopping him at all (he blew a .14 on the Breathalyzer). And God knows his nephew, the president, doesn’t mind accusing a Massachusetts police department of “acting stupidly” whenever one arrests a black man behaving badly.

Welfare is the organized public or private social services for the assistance of disadvantaged groups. Aid could include general Welfare payments, health care through Medicaid, food stamps, special payments for pregnant women and young mothers, and federal and state housing benefits. The Welfare system in the United States began in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. Opponents of Welfare argue that it affects work incentives.

"Education Union" Thugs and the havoc they love

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

 

Gang of Union Thugs in Cancun supposedly protesting about the
recently imposed, and very necessary education reforms in
 Mexico.  Cancun was targeted specifically to injure the
national image.   Marxists always will destroy in
order to have their way, as in Barry's attempt
to leave the fallen soldiers in a cold-room
in Kabul, because of "GOP
intransigence".

 

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

 

 

 

          As a bit of an up-date about Mexico, please be aware that El Gringo Viejo is dedicated to the proposition of providing solid right-wing commentary and interpretation about what is going on in our sister Republic.  We hope that our perspective helps deepen and widen the OROGs understanding beyond the hopelessly inaccurate information that comes to the USA through Obsolete Media sources.

 

     We had thought, perhaps foolishly, that the issue of the occupation of the Zocalo in Mexico City and the various local protests (frequently quite violent) in places throughout the "provinces" would have ended with the forced removal of various of the "leaders" from the Zocalo, along with the disbanding of their followers.   Most of the followers in such deployments are generally somewhat humanoid presences who have IQs roughly approaching the level of Styrofoam packing peanuts.   They used to be known as "bullet catchers" but in these days the Army has tried to refrain from such measures except for those involved in "organised crime" (drug trafficking).

 

     We have been sorely disappointed.   Our main reason for discontent is sourced in our own conceit and egotism.  We just hate to be wrong.  El Gringo Viejo's analysis was wrong.

 

 

      As in the case of Obama, the slime never goes away.   The stench of true marxist evil never stops burning the nostrils.   The true marxist never stops trying to pervert natural law and impose the order of one kind of elitist or another.   So, just because nice Miss Gordillo, the immediate past president of the national educational workers' union, was thrown in prison for pilfering what appears to be something along the order of 200,000,000 USD from the union coffers for her own investment, benefit, and squandering (six face-lifts, and she's still uglier than bat-puke), it does not mean that anyone has learned his/her lesson about good order in public service.

     Almost immediately after the passing of a dull and boring, secular, modernist, homosexuals-are-better-than-normal-people, and egalitarianism is-a-national-priority teaching format....the marxists 2nd and 3rd level people in the education union went into violent, confrontational  mode.  In spite of the "liberal, progressive" thrust of the new educational plan, the Thugs were mobilised by the hundreds.  Almost all have a criminal background and/or some association with violent crime in their past.

    Although well over 90% of the people who were members of the old union are in favour of the reforms already enacted by the Congress and the President, and a similar number of those expressing a preference in the general population concur, the sliver of activists who hate good order are determined to make Mexico pay for slaughtering the Golden Calf.   Perhaps we are watching the punishment of Mexico for imprisoning the Sacred Cow as well.

     The City and State of Oaxaca are long-famous for the continuous "education protests".  Bus-burnings, bus-blockades complete with flattened tyres, incessant protest marches....to the tune of 9 or 10 a week, are all part of the "folklore" in Oaxaca.   But this has extended to several State capitals in the southern, and now Yucatecan, parts of Mexico.  Major secondary cities and towns are being involved, and teachers are being threatened in typical union thug form through the southern half of Mexico.   Any perceived scabbing or out of step performance by teachers, custodians, secretaries, teachers' aides, etc. is being dealt with by extremely tough measures.    The Army has been called into various sites and special police units deployed at Capitol buildings and Municipal Presidency buildings.   It is madness, and it is designed to express marxist strength...not just in Mexico...but throughout Latin America. 

 

     Much of the steam is going out of their "legitimate" electoral victories. Argentina is a basket-case, Mrs. Fernandez de Kirchner was recently interned into a hospital with a serious head/brain issue and operated upon.  People did not cheer her release, because the blush is off the bloom in terms of her particular "great leap forward".   Brazil is rumbling towards a very probable disaster in the World Soccer Cup and Olympics.   Brazil's crime rates are far in excess of even Chicagoland and Detroit.....but at least it's only at its worst exactly where the worldwide events will take place.  Nicaraguans, after the re-takeover by the Ortegas, have been outnumbering Mexicans in terms of those detained by the Border Patrol here along the border.

(While re-reading this, it occurs to me that it should be pointed out that in spite of the common, leftish curriculum, it is a bit more balanced that it used to be before the 'reform measures', quite frankly)

LEGACY of MARXISTS AMONG THE ETHERS OF REALITY

Nicaragua Population Growth Rate:

Even though the population of Nicaragua has been growing, the growth rate has been steadily declining and is now around a 1%. This is a significant change from the early 1990's when the population growth rate of the country was 5.8%. However, the population surge in the early nineties was largely due to a large influx of people migrating into the country after the anti-Sandinista political parties defeated the incumbent Sandinistas party which had been in power since 1979.  (Source: VirtualNicaragua.com)

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

     The gross population of Nicaragua is a little less than 6,000,000 souls.  Mexico is obviously much closer to the United States than Nicaragua, but the number of Nicaraguans at times surpasses the number of attempted illegal entrants into the United States. Central Americans as a whole have been outnumbering Mexican illegal alien apprehensions, especially since the return to power of the Ortegas.
      Take Guatemala and El Salvador the number of people goes up to around 20,000,000 and these numbers, we state once again,  now outrank the Mexican illegal entry level, at times substantially.  And that fails to consider that Mexico's population is a little less than 110,000,000, making it the largest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth.

 

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

 

     The people who are holding these "protests" are 1st cousins to the Occupy Wall Street people and the "No One Is Illegal" operatives in the amnesty movement here in the United States. Those connections are not ephemeral, but rather absolute and concrete and frequently run under the "open cover" of the leftist academic community.

 

    We shall continue to monitor this situation.   So far is does not seem to spill far beyond the buildings and the people within said buildings.   But frustration on the part of these rabble-rousers could lead to difficulties that would be more problematic than the recently diminished drug war.  Stay tuned.

Medley of the Absurd and of Dispair

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

 

 

 

   One does not take particular glee in the following material, but it must be entered in case the world ends and there needs to be a record that such things ever occurred.

 

     The number of "navigators" who will help the hapless move through those things best voted for and not read who are presently awaiting arrest, trial, or who have served time recently?  Priceless.   I mean, numerous.  And, glory be, they will be working within the precincts of the Internal Revenue Service and will have access to any and all Americans private data. 

      These ACORN field-worker types, and perhaps veterans with said august community organising fame, are numerous within the ranks of those who will be standing by to help people select the right enrollment for their free medical services.  They will, ostensibly, show those who are so stupid that they cannot "navigate" an insurance alternative that 86% of the American populace seemed to be able to do, without assistance a long time ago.   Like maybe a few weeks ago.

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

 

 

     But take faith.   Fear not.  I bring to you glad tidings. For unto you this day is born a system of free medical services that will reduce your medical bills by over 2,500 USD per year.   And, if you want to keep your doctor you can keep him/her.

     The thing is, however, that your doctor does not want to keep you  if you choose to be an Obamacararasite.   The money is there, it is just that the simple record keeping for each Obamacarasite will require almost two hours of processing per visit.  Each patient visit and set of actions must be recorded in very precise, computer-entered, backed-up, ready for armed IRS agents to come in and review without warrants or even suspicion of nefarious activity on the part of the doctor.

     Fifty patients in the office per day?   One hundred hours of meticulous data entry and specific analysis along with diagnosis,  prescription, and condition updates.   For an office seeing that number of patients per day it will require at  $22.50 / hour a total of 2,250 USD per day in salaries, not for medical service but for government-style records keeping.   It will require 12 - 14 new employees in each office....and not part-time employees.

     It simply cannot be done.  And Obama does not give a bucket of warm spit.  If anything, he revels in the destruction.  It is a nightmare.  There will come a time, if the elitists have their way, that all Americans will be forced into the single payer system, and only Hillary will have private medical service.

 

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

 

      While negotiating my way around the discarded and ubiquitous disposable diapers that populate the parking lot of the United States Postal Service installation in our little idyllic village on the Rio Grande, it brought to mind the number of disposable diapers that I had managed to miss the last time we had to make a run to the grocery store.   Normally El Gringo Viejo drives about four miles to a HEB Deluxe in another nearby village so as to avoid the necessity of having to do a Texas version of the Bolshoi in order to make it to the front door of the store.

    It is the same folk who cheerfully take out their "Lone Star Card" when it comes time to pay for their bounteously endowed grocery carts...filled with things that should not be eaten by people who obviously have no "need to feed" and who have 3rd grader children who weigh more than El Gringo Viejo who is 6'2" tall.

Grocery Carts
 are suddenly abandoned when service
to card accountable computers was suddenly
restored.  Carts like this, by the thousands,
are, each one, prima facie evidence of a
theft in progress.  Given the least chance
to pillage and steal, food stampers cannot
resist the temptation to steal what they
are already stealing from the producing
sector.   No self-respect...?  Criminality
always follows.

 

     A "burn down the bakery" moment occurred this last week in various places throughout the United States.   For a few minutes or hours,  a "computer glitch" affected food stamp "credit cards" in such a way that the limits could not be determined.  So, not wanting to start a "food fight" so to speak, and knowing the nature of the clientele in terms of things such as reason and temperament, many stores just elected to allow the parasites to "buy" as much as they wished.   Many decided to allow the people to buy anything....most tried to limit the indulgence to comestibles.

     A few stores...not just on Drudge....have been reported to have been stripped.   Others lost almost everything on the shelves and meat departments.   When suddenly accounting services were restored, people began running for the door with or without their carts,  carts were strewn some completely laden, others overturned, some were left in the aisles of the stores piled higher than the "pusher" could see to navigate.

 

    It was a string of scenes that would give joy to the heart and warm the cockles of that heart of any self-respecting community organiser.

 

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

 

 

The split tiles are very
 evident on the"Castillo"
(gate post), and the roof
of the Quinta Tesoro de la
Sierra Madre.   They can
also be seen as décor for
the top of our rock fence.

The phone rang yesterday and it was Alvaro calling up from the Quinta.  We have been repairing the roof of our little hideaway after the massive rains of the past month.   We knew that we had chaff blockage of the run-off that is channelled over the split tiles that one commonly finds on older homes in Mexico...a bit of Spain and Italy that will probably never die.   When we built the place, it was something we wanted for the effect and the simplicity of repair.

    Repairs were necessary, but Alvaro said that we only lost "about 60".  Sixty is a "pretty cool hand" when the roof has about 10,000 Spanish split tiles.

Almost all the repairs have been made, although we shall have to begin to replace a lot of the cane "fronting" of the ceiling.  Some of the cane just gave up the ghost after being saturated over and over again during the six week period.   But, we shall finish what needs to be done, and accept the things we cannot change, as in the gardens down below towards the Rio Corona's banks, and "get on with la vida no tan loca". 

 

More later.   We really appreciate your attention, and we are hoping that the recent rains in the  Central and North parts of the Republic of Texas were only beneficial and not damaging in any way.

Texian Withdrawal from the American Union? Even the elites are whispering nervously....



 CORRECTED MAP, WITH COMPUTER ENHANCEMENT AND SATELLITE
CONFIRMATION OF THE TRUE GEOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
TEXAS AND CERTAIN OF THE SEMI-INHABITABLE REGIONS OFTHE
AMERICAN UNION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   The following inclusion is attributed to Patrick Buchannan, a floating, free-spirit of and on the right.   With few exceptions, he tends to be a reasonable and studied thinker and commentator.  It is true that he is one of the "inside the beltway" voices, but the pinkos really do not like him.   He is too "rough cut" or "working class" to be truly welcomed at the Fronde du Palme saloon in Georgetown, and he goes to a barber for a haircut instead of a stylist.  He might even ruin the barbeque in the Hamptons by showing up wearing a green pullover during the Autumn....when everyone knows that brown, gold, yellow, and maroon are permitted exclusively.

     Some of these examples Mr. Pat includes in the article below-included are known.  Others might surprise even the informed OROG.  But, they are out there.  And, Texas's situation is even more tenable because we are not in the position of secession. Ours can and should be a simple, amicable withdrawal.  We should even be able to receive a payout of Texian payments into the American Social Security system, and a cessation of claims against that Ponzi Scheme, thereby liberating the Americans to use the funds for whatever purpose they might will.   The money, once crossing onto Texas soil, would then be liberated and assigned to each Social Security recipient who has been manumitted from his slavery to the American central government.   Each recipient would become the owner of his/her own account, with microscopically minimal Republic of Texas involvement.

     It is doubtful that Mr. Pat would endorse the notion of Texas or any other State in the American Union leaving that Union under any condition, save perhaps for California.  But he has, perhaps inadvertently, stumble into a mine-field of possibilities, great and small, that can be used by Texas Nationalists as examples of orderly withdrawal from a political union.

In the last decade of the 20th century, as the Soviet Empire disintegrated, so, too, did that prison house of nations, the USSR.

Out of the decomposing carcass came Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Moldova, all in Europe; Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus; and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia.

Transnistria then broke free of Moldova, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia fought free of Georgia.

Yugoslavia dissolved far more violently into the nations of Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo.

The Slovaks seceded from Czechoslovakia. Yet a Europe that plunged straight to war after the last breakup of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and 1939 this time only yawned. Let them go, all agreed.

The spirit of secession, the desire of peoples to sever ties to nations to which they have belonged for generations, sometimes for centuries, and to seek out their own kind, is a spreading phenomenon.

Scotland is moving toward a referendum on independence from England, three centuries after the Acts of Union. Catalonia pushes to be free of Madrid. Milanese and Venetians see themselves as a European people apart from Sicilians, Neapolitans and Romans.

Dutch-speaking Flanders wants to cut loose of French-speaking Wallonia in Belgium. Francophone Quebec, with immigrants from Asia and the Third World tilting the balance in favor of union, appears to have lost its historic moment to secede from Canada.

What are the forces pulling nations apart? Ethnicity, culture, history and language – but now also economics. And separatist and secessionist movements are cropping up here in the United States.

While many red state Americans are moving away from blue state America, seeking kindred souls among whom to live, those who love where they live but not those who rule them are seeking to secede.

The five counties of western Maryland – Garrett, Allegheny, Washington, Frederick and Carroll, which have more in common with West Virginia and wish to be rid of Baltimore and free of Annapolis, are talking secession.

The issues driving secession in Maryland are gun control, high taxes, energy policy, homosexual marriage and immigration.

Order Pat Buchanan’s brilliant and prescient books at WND’s Superstore.

Scott Strzelczyk, who lives in the town of Windsor in Carroll County and leads the Western Maryland Initiative, argues: “If you have a long list of grievances, and it’s been going on for decades, and you can’t get it resolved, ultimately [secession] is what you have to do.”

And there is precedent. Four of our 50 states – Maine, Vermont, Kentucky, West Virginia – were born out of other states.

Ten northern counties of Colorado are this November holding non-binding referenda to prepare a future secession from Denver and the creation of America’s 51st state.

Nine of the 10 Colorado counties talking secession and a new state, writes Reid Wilson of the Washington Post – Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld and Yuma – all gave more than 62 percent of their votes to Mitt Romney. Five of these 10 counties gave Romney more than 75 percent of their vote.

Their issues with the Denver legislature: A new gun control law that triggered a voter recall of two Democratic state senators, state restrictions on oil exploration and the Colorado legislature’s party-line vote in support of gay marriage.

Scott Strzelczyk of the Western Maryland Initiative talks about seceding from the rest of the state.

In California, which many have long believed should be split in two, the northern counties of Modoc and Siskiyou on the Oregon border are talking secession – and then union in a new state called Jefferson.

“California is essentially ungovernable in its present size,” says Mark Baird of the Jefferson Declaration Committee. Baird hopes to attract a dozen counties to join together before petitioning the state to secede.

Like the western Maryland and northern Colorado counties, the northern California counties are conservative, small town, rural and have little in common with San Francisco or Los Angeles, or Sacramento, where Republicans hold not one statewide office and are outnumbered better than 2-1 in both houses of the state legislature.

Folks on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, bordered by Wisconsin and the Great Lakes, which is connected to lower Michigan by a bridge, have long dreamed of a separate state called Superior. The UP has little in common with Lansing and nothing with Detroit.

While the folks in western Maryland, northern Colorado, northern California and on the Upper Peninsula might be described as red state secessionists, in Vermont the secessionists seem of the populist left. The Montpelier Manifesto of the Second Vermont Republic concludes:

“Citizens, lend your names to this manifesto and join in the honorable task of rejecting the immoral, corrupt, decaying, dying, failing American Empire and seeking its rapid and peaceful dissolution before it takes us all down with it.”

This sort of intemperate language may be found in Thomas Jefferson’s indictment of George III. If America does not get its fiscal house in order, and another Great Recession hits or our elites dragoon us into another imperial war, we will likely hear more of such talk.
