"We weren't as clear as we (could)(should) have been."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

 
     Yes, Barry, you and your minions of gnomes and gargoyles mince your words in the kitchens of some horrid camp made up of Occupy Wall Street vermin, and you throw your minced-up words into a kettle of venom.....shrieking with laughter about the truth of what one of your great leaders said not so long ago.  It translates poorly, but it come out close to, "How easy it is to govern people who are so stupid" (Adolf Hitler - 1937)
 
     Your universe of supporters, consisting of the dull and dependent, the parasitical and nihilistic are custom-made for the madmen that you and your controllers are.  But please remember that there is still a large body of people in the hinterland who know that when you speak the words George Soros and Co. tell you to speak, you lie.  We know now that we must hope that we can change back to a time when we could be counted on to take care of ourselves and a few others.
     You bring us...."You must....".   We are greeted with alternatives that are set by a commissar.  We have three choice of this, that, or the other.   We MUST adhere to the limits of the program as established by some set of regulations that no one can understand, and almost no one has ever read.
 
     At any point along this journey into sociological and cultural psychosis, when the crooked bends in the road swing wildly this way and that for no particular reason, we know that you, Barry....the unaccomplished, mean, vicious, America-hating, incompetent, arrogant, narcissistic Barry....will blame somebody.   At one time, back in 2008, you scoffed and scorned at the secretive and exclusive way of the Republicans, who were always making shady deals behind peoples' backs, and behind closed doors.   We remember so clearly how you declared that you were going to have negotiations of importance to the American Public presented on C-Span.  Those of us familiar with the nature of the hard-core socialist mind, roared with laughter and shivered with the chills of fear that are produced by the images of the Nuremburg Party Conventions and Rallies.
 
(20 or so minutes of some of the most
intelligent people in the world
 acting like low-information
and low intelligence
 voters of to-day )
 
 
    Barry, we appreciate that you are hiring ex-ACORN "community workers" to serve as "navigators" for those who think that they would like some of your "free medical care".  We are also aware that these same "navigators" frequently have criminal records and have long been involved in things like registering Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to vote....multiple times and in multiple venues.  Perhaps you could say to the public, "I assure you, that if you give your private data to any of our hard-working navigators, that your private information will be absolutely safe...period!"
 
 
FINALLY:
      The issue is about the nationalisation of the entire medical and medical insurance industry in the United States and the outfall and fallout of the effects of those efforts by the Progressive and socialist elements within the  body politic.   It was not caused by a Tea Party Anything, by Ted Cruz, Bob Lee or any of those who are named by Barrack Hussein Obama, et al. 
      The movement to establish the Obama Socialised Medical Initiative (OSMI) came first.  The Cruz and Lee crowd came in as a response to said OSMI.  And, unlike the OSMI people, the Cruz and Lee crowd came in saying that they would do such and such, and they have complied with their word.  It is the one thing that gives the OSMI people the heebie-jeebies....straight-thinking opponents of the socialist movement, foreign and domestic, who do not waver from their word or beguile their constituents with false promises.
 
     This issue will not be over until every page, paragraph, sentence, and letter of the Obama Socialised Medical Initiative (OSMI) is repealed, rescinded, and shredded into a vacuum cleaner connected to the deepest parts of the Luciferine Precincts.

He did not really cheat or lie

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
     We must remember that marxists have no true morality or sense of fair play.   One of the most basic rules of those who cleave unto that system of ordering lives is the certainty that anything that advances socialism is truth.   It matters little how far removed from the truth their truth is.    So, in defence of our Dear Leader, he certainly thinks that his mendacity should be seen as a different form of truth.   That truth, which seeks to dress the populace in grey muumuus and eat low-fat tofu throughout the entire 30 years of their lives, requires whatever necessary to force everyone into some form of the NHS.
 
     When Miss Fluke was demanding that my granddaughters and my daughter pay for her birth control, because Miss Fluke was a poor beset-upon girl who had to pay 3,000 USD per year for her pills, Obama came forth with his choir of white-coated dullards standing behind him to pronounce, "I am ordering that all insurance companies must include FREE contraceptive coverage in their policies according to the provisions of the Obama Socialised Medical Initiative (OSMI)."
     There are so many mandated conditions and inclusions that insurance companies were and are faced with either raising rates or retiring to the sidelines of the industry....veterinarian, body-parts insurance, professional athletes and belly / ballet dancer injury insurance, etc.   Finally, even those things would be brought under the control of the Central Government.
 
 
 
NOW FOR THE COMPLEX PART:
 
      For the "reasonable Republicans" who think that we need to have some "amendments" to the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative (OSMI), please understand that it simply cannot be done.   They immediately began to suggest that a bill should be passed to allow people who have lost....or who are in danger of losing....their medical insurance policies (incorrectly referred to as 'health care'), to keep their policies.   Such cannot be done.   Insurance companies are not going to offer policies for long-term health considerations when the political barometer is so volatile.  They are not going to offer policies that are subject to the review to lunatics such as Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Sibelius, Eric Holder, Valerie Jerrod, and Nancy Pelosi.
 
     It simply cannot be done.   The only solution to the Monster of Frankenstein
Socialised Medical Initiative is to turn "settled law" into kindling and garbage wrapping paper.   The Act of Revocation could replace 2,900 pages of "settled law" and its accompanying 180,000 pages of rules, regulations, and requirements with perhaps two pages of legal construction that overturns page alpha through page omega.   It will simply require a veto-proof United States Senate, which would then be, by definition, a filibuster-proof Senate...ready to overturn any last-ditch defence of the horrid legislation by the horrid Community Organiser in Chief.  Republican control of the Lower House is all but certain, but it would help to hold a few more seats, and then perhaps there would be enough Democrats to join with a unanimous Republican commitment to become a 290 vote block total required to overturn a veto from the White House.

      Perhaps Hizzoner, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Wise Latinas could hold off finding the veto of the Obama Socialised Medical Initiative un-Constitutional.



AMONG THE ARGUMENTS THAT BORE EL GRINGO VIEJO:

     The press is pointing out that the sign-up for the OSMI in Kentucky for the is doing very well.  Almost 300,000 people have visited the fairly well-functioning web site operated by the State's OSMI Registry.   We invite the OROGs to use whatever search engine and look for the glowing reports  about the "Kynect Miracle".   The only problem is that the State of Kentucky fell for the deal about "free money" from Father Obamaham.   That free money came in the form that the OSMI offered States two "free" years of Obamastash money....and that at the end of that time, all people signed up on the OSMI Medicaid section would have to be converted to the State's budget.
     That is why Governor Perry and the great majority of the Republic of Texas's population favoured not participating in the "free money" offer from the OSMI.   Thank the Lord we refused that millstone.

    So, when analysed only a slight bit it turns out that over 80 per cent of the people being signed up for the OSMI are being assigned into the Medicaid Program.  They will never pay any premiums of any kind...opting for some degrading, parasitical relationship that can only serve to dehumanise the participant.    What will they do when the two years have passed?

     Another argument is the ancient saw one hears when a particular Senator or Representative is being lauded or is lauding himself before a campaign crowd,".....and we have to really give old Kennedy credit for having BROUGHT HOME THE BACON!!"   (roaring cheers in the background).
     The cheering stops for a moment when a hayseed in the crowd asks to speak, and Old Kennedy recognises the man and tells him to take the floor.  The man draws himself up and asks, "I was jist a-wondering, if'n it took all that work and trouble to bring all that bacon back here from Washington, then why did we send it up there to begin with?"

    All charity begins at home.   That feeds into the steadily increasing realisation that the Republic of Texas is a theoretical and spiritual reality. It must become a concrete legal reality.

Back in Town

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
  We made a run of it to-day, leaving the Quinta in the rain at 07:00 hours and pulling into our borderland stomping grounds right at noon. Some areas to the south had received as much as six inches of rain overnight, and we had a little more than an inch.   All in all, the Autumnal rainy season has been quite wet for a large part of Southern Texas and northeastern Mexico.
 
     Our place has suffered a bit from the heavy rains.   Repairs will take a while, but the home is intact and functioning. The cats and dogs are fed, and the gardens, natural areas, and general surroundings can only be described as idyllic.  We have lost a little weight during the Summer, chiefly from laziness and not eating much.   El Gringo Viejo resolved this time down to do more walking around and to eat at least one big meal per day....so now the weight is back up to 176.
 
     One of the "exercise routines" employed is just simply walking about a mile down to and along the Rio Corona, and then ambling back up.  The mainly gentle grades make for a bit of extra work, the dogs and cats seem to enjoy the running around, escorting the El Gringo Viejo during the hour or so it takes.  It has been an especially fine period for birds and butterflies.   It seems like each walking episode produced one or two new, previously unseen bird  and/or butterfly specie.....lots of little "jellybean" - type birds. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
 
DISMAY
 
     We watched and listened to the developments on this Obama Socialised Medical Initiative.   The march continues, wreaking havoc where there should have been no action.   Each action taken by the administration has been intentionally designed to eliminate the insurance industry from the theatre of the medical industry.  The Rules for Radicals guide to administration for the Community Organiser in Chief plays out the same in each cycle....promise the dull and parasitic people something grand, tell them that the rich people are denying the oppressed a fair share, demonise the appropriate people and/or industries, and then force the implementation of a solution to a problem that did not heretofore exist.
     That solution, of course, will simply aggravate the problem, thereby giving the community organiser community more opportunity to propose and implements solutions to the problems that they themselves created.   The complicity of the obsolete press helps by allowing the intellectually straight-jacketed press to direct the thought processes of the limited intellectual community and takers in the incessant attack on the givers. 
 
     It is difficult to listen to Senator Reid, who has been in the forefront of the effort to build another pyramid of enslavement to place on the backs of the citizens.  He declared that the "....American people have their beloved Social Security and Medicare...." which literally made this listener nauseous.   Social Security and Medicare are both cultural cancers that are ill-founded and born of the perverse desire of politicians to buy votes for themselves with other peoples' money.   That Social Security is a Ponzi system is not debatable...it is in fact, a perfect example of that scheme.
      The Texas Teachers' Retirement System provides employee-owned retirement accounts that accrues interest, can be willed to survivors, and can build surprisingly during the period of employment.   The administration is small and very professional, and the governors have been a responsible lot for the long history of the institution.
 
      How the American public can sit, stand, or lie down in the face of this usurpation of every vestige of control and privacy held by us as sovereigns or our own natural, Providentially bestowed Rights cannot be understood by this observer.   We shall be making more observations and comments as the days go by, as usual....some Mexico news....some personal tales....and, of course, hopefully interacting with my fellow Neanderthal Troglodytes Community members.

And the Great Pumpkin slides down the chimney, and then....

 A Pleasant Episode
to all Southwest Texas
State University Bobcats
during this period that approaches the Feast of All
Souls and All Saints in the Orthodox Churches of
the West, and known well as All Hallow's Even
or Halloween!!!! among all peoples.

Care for the little ones, as the Nazarene ordered,
as recorded in Matthew 10:  13 - 16


And they brought young children to him,
that he should touch them:
And his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased,
and said unto them,
Suffer the little children to come unto me.
and forbid them not:
for of such is the kingdom of God.

Verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom
of God as a little child,
he shall not enter therein.


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

We recognise that the ranks of the OROGs does not need an admonition from El Gringo Viejo to protect your nieces, nephews, sons, daughter, and grandchildren....along with the children of favoured friends and Godchildren etc.   But in these days, the perversity of
mankind prospers, and an extra eye is needed during
even these great and grand celebrations of the
lives of those who did well before the Lord.






Thine be the Glory - a typical anthem during the
 Feast of All Souls and All Saints

We shall make every good attempt to take a series of pictures, with permission from the families of course, at the events surrounding the traditional cemetery visits at these times in Mexico.   It is normally a moving event.

Right-side Brain-think




  Franklin Delano Roosevelt was visited by the Angel Lucifer who told him that the Masonic Order and the Rothschilds and the French Knights of the Crusades and the Southern Knights of the Golden Circle and all Orthodox Churches and the entire Protestant Reformation and most Buddhists, Jews. and the Mountbattens, and many Ishmaelites have kept a secret from the common, downtrodden union worker.
   Unlike Gabriel informing an innocent 13 or 14 year-old Jewess that she had quite an adventure ahead of her, Lucifer informed Franklin that the Controller of the Universe had not informed the Founding Fathers of the United States of America of certain Cosmic Secrets.  Franklin learned, with mouth agape and eye widened that the Creator had held out a whole bunch of "self-evident" truths which lead immediately to a trove of Human Rights that Geoge Bush and Dick Cheney had hidden under their stash pile.
 
     Among those "Rights of Man" about which he heard (and later informed the hardworking American people) were the following: 

  • The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;
  • The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
  • The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
  • The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
  • The right of every family to a decent home;
  • The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
  • The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
  • The right to a good education.

  •  
     
         This leads us to the entire concept of "Progressive" as a socio-political political-sociopathy.   Progress implies departing or continuing from one place or position and moving towards another previously determined abstract or physical  destination.   Being a political "progressive" however means always moving in the direction of establishing programs that do not work, that in fact cause serious repercussions and supposedly "unforeseen outcomes" that actually exacerbate the original :"problem", that cry out for another "progressive" solution, which of course will cost another billion quadzillion shekels and be successful about 34 zorgzillion eons after the final end of perpetual eternity.   And when that happens the poverty rate will be twice as high as when everything got started.
        Progressivism in the United States began with Abraham Lincoln and simultaneously with the Radical Republicans (primarily from New England) for two different reasons.   One wanted to establish the Supremacy of Central Government over the sovereignty of the common man and the locale he considered hearth and home, so as  to march the Americans back, gradually, into the serfdom of the corrupt monarchies.  The other wanted to kill people in order to set other people free from a slavery that was soon to end on it own expense and weight, anyway.   A true marriage made in Hell and it did produce a lot of death and disorder.
     
         Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and then, whew! just in a nick of time to resuscitate the Progressive Movement...Herbert Hoover.  Pump Priming and deficit spending to spur the economy along with great public works....that will solve any economic crisis, right?   Nope.  Depression becomes worse by the day.   Roosevelt is elected as a budget-balancing ex-Governor of New York, with high-level service in the War Department.   A great alternative to Hoover, FDR was elected in a landslide in 1932.   Before 1934 was out, Roosevelt had abandoned every campaign pronouncement and essentially picked up on Hoover's "government stimulus" approach to solving the Nation's economic problems.   The Depression had become worse and gradually set up a relapse in 1937 that made the future of the United States very cloudy, indeed.  Had it not been for the onset of the World War...it is very probable that disintegration would have begun to affect the United States.



    American National Socialists marching in downtown
    New York City in 1939....look carefully for the
    Hitlerian National Socialist swastika. 
     


      Both Communists and National Socialists were very active in the United States, practicing subversion and even preparing sabotage.  The Germans Bunds had almost a million active members.   Communists had penetrated to the very highest levels in the bureaucracy of the American government.  Canada and Mexico both had very active Soviet Communist cells, agents, spies, professors, and labour agitators.   Eleanor Roosevelt was very enamoured of the great successes of the Russian Revolution of the Proletariat.  Margaret Sanger and her cabal of anti-Negro ghouls thought that euthanasia and eugenics were wondrous alternatives to having inferior and defective people cluttering up the parlours of really important people.   It was a dangerous time.   Lucifer had played a card that wound up being something between a paradox and a conundrum.
         The leftists pushing the Roosevelt and Sanger types of social reforms had to put up with the fact that the places that actually practiced such lunacy had turned out to be monsters...Stalin started by killing off over 7,000,000 of his fellow Georgians, neighbouring Ukrainians, and other small, private farmers and commercialists.....by starvation.  With the Siberian Gulags, estimates range as high as 20 million persons were "lost".  They were too ....reluctant....to take advantage of the "advantages" of the Red Revolution like Collective Farming....and State Magazines of Necessities.
         Of course the National Socialists of Germany resented being outdone by the Bolshevik Socialists, so they set about "solving" the problem of too many mongoloids, Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Christian resisters, and other unfit persons.....about five million up to 8 million depending upon who is counting.  Gassed or destroyed by firing squad in front of open, mass graves.
     
         None of the above counts the "normal casualties" associated with a high-tech world war.
     
         The American public became leerie of social engineering and retrenched after the Second World War, falling back on their Bibles, guns, and traditional beliefs, if only for a while.  In that sense, Lucifer had bitten off too much.
     
         Please study the newly discovered Rights of Man that the Progressives found or that were revealed to  Franklin Delano Roosevelt.   Think how each of the measures has been addressed, and now the problem is worse or diminished in each case from how they would have been without government meddling.
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
     
         Finally, it is the surmission of El Gringo Viejo that all of these "glitches" that are occurring might have been wished to be non-existent.  But, it is certain that the Number One fall-back that Obama will use as this matter deepens is to "blame" the insurance companies for "price gouging"  and "taking advantage of peoples' fears".    Of course, the some, perhaps many,  "hard working American people" know nothing of what is written in the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative.  They are just as lazy about their own affairs as are the Congressmen they have elected lazy about reading the bills upon which they vote.   Especially the low-information and low-intelligence "voters".
          Many are still under the impression that somehow or another they are to be paid to be sick....or at least they will be receiving a "pre-sickness pension".  After all, people who have no disability are receiving Social Security Disability Payments in droves.    I mean, anybody could do with a little more Obama-stash to buy a rock or a handful of lottery tickets or to make a few runs to the Christi's Casino to play the slots, right?
     
        Shortly, we should be hearing from Carney that the President is "very angry" about the price gouging and he is going to propose a bill to bar the participation of private insurance companies in medical matters.   He will then propose a type of single-payer system, putting the central government in charge, just like he did with General Motors, Chrysler, the "Green Industry" and the Student Loan program.   It is the nature of an incurable marxist so to do.

    Unsolicited Advice

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

         To begin, it is always nice to review some of the gleanings of the wisdom of the people who risked all to establish their best idea of what a secular but spiritual, traditional but not monarchical could be.

     
    "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness -- these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles."
    - George Washington
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
    
    
    Let us listen as our adversary defeats himself
    
        
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
         Let us now refrain from bellowing loudly and sounding the clarion's call when there is no need for such measures.  It is better not to call for the "firing" of Kathleen Sibelius from her position as Secretary of the Oh! So Important Department of Health and Human Services because she is doing our work for us.   For Freeeeee!   El Gringo Viejo wants Madame Sibelius precisely where she is.  As goes the old expression..."She could screw-up a crowbar". 
         Couple that with a Marxist dunce who has no administrative, executive experience,  who is lazy (self evident and self-admitted), who is a liar, a Marxist, and who has been given each stage of his advance by the now-Communist Annenberg Foundation, and we have a real live pair of slugs who have arrived at their true level of competence....which is none.
     
         We need to attack the miserable Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative incessantly, but not boringly.   At each juncture we need to remind the public that Ted Cruz and Bob Lee spoke to each horror and stupidity that is found in each un-read page of the Free Medical Services for Democrat Voters ACT and for every counter-contradictory regulation in the 10,000,000 word (so far) set of administrative rules.

         And finally, Jeb Bush, please do not propose a National Health Service Lite, low-fat, absolutely free, and although it is strictly voluntary, it is required that everyone join and participate.   Please don't come up and bail out this horrid marxist poseur.... this lazy, arrogant, snippy, and intellectually dull malingerer as did your buddy Governor Christi in New Jersey.   Your solution...all liberal Republicans' solutions.....are always a slightly diluted version of the Democrat full-blown income-redistribution, marxist program. 
          We do not need another program to cure something that is misdiagnosed and probably not curable.    We could keep the stupid County Charity Hospital concept and spend much less, while leaving the broad 85% mass of folks alone with their cumbersome but well-understood system to which they have become accustomed.
           Please!  No more Government answers to questions that are not being asked!!

         A NOTE TO ALL OROGS:    As a brief note, we shall be going down to our place early, early on Thursday morning.   With luck, I should be able to take some pictures of the amazing Mexican cemetery festivals and family gatherings during the midnight hour (and six hours either side of that time) that time when November 1st becomes Novermber 2nd....all part of the celebration of Todos Santos y Todos Almas.   (All Hallow's Even - The Feast of All Saints  and all Souls departed in the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Faith.....(and their buddies).  The Ejido of Francisco I. Madero, Municipio de Hidalgo has a relatively large cemetery and it is dealt with in a substantially traditional way, so we are hoping to pick up some nice pictures.
