Where have all the Eskimoes gone?

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

     We take a bunch of Eskimoes....Eskicurlies....and Eskilarrys out minding their own business, making harpoons and gumming blubber.   We watch as they kill animals and eat them.   They laugh a lot.  Sometimes they have to beat up their wives and children, but only after kicking their mush dogs around  a little.   In the Wintertime, things can become dicey.  Eleven Eskicurlies can make for a pretty tight fit in a 700 square foot  (round foot?) igloo with no bathroom or radio.   No way to tune in Oprah or listen to Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.
 
     Most Eskilarry children thought the theme music title for Sergeant Preston of the Yukon was "Way Down South in Dixie's Land".....and they were pretty happy thinking that way.   They thought they were doing alright.  A little blubber, some fish, an occasional bear steak, and who knows what else, maybe some sweet-potatoe pie just like Aunt Tooluchilukeeba used to make.
 
     Every now and then some really uncivilised people would come by and visit, offending sensibilities, griping about the rest-rooms, and they would leave.   They shared a little of their vodka, ate too much free blubber and raw fish....but at least they would leave.

     The one day some other Russians came, calling themselves  "Mairicans" .   They would always greet the Inuit and the Ku'piks by saying, "Hi, I am a Mairican"   Later, others would come with fancy boats, planes, and other conveyances and they would say "Hi, I'm a Mairican.   We have come from the government to help you.   Your houses are sub-standard.   Your diet is totally disgusting, your family relations really aspirate, you are institutionalising child abuse, you are allowing the children to perform dangerous tasks only suitable for children over the age of 15 years 8months and 4 days.   These boxes are the food you will eat, it is healthy.   Also, all the animals you are killing have just been put on endangered lists and you can't kill or eat them...and that goes for the walrus and fish in these waters.   We also understand that you are panning and excavating for gold, and that must cease as of now, because the areas you are contaminating are protected wetlands.
     Also, each real live injun family will receive 3,500 USD per month plus 900 USD per child for food stamps, and SSI for the underaged geezer that has no teeth from gumming blubber.   When she turns 63, she can have SS and SSi as a retired Indian.   Here is your starter deck of lottery tickets.  It is about a ninety day supply, but after that you'll have to buy your own."
 
     The Inuit is a little surprised and says, "Where will I spend the money?  And when granma is 60 we already arranged the iceberg and everything...the farewell party....she'll be sent to the ancestors in Hawai'i on her own iceberg."
 
     "Well, whatever. You'll need to request, fill out, and forward the "Personal use of Iceberg Permit Form No. US300-sa-433.   And,  we're bringing in a chain store here to sell necessaries, and things you'll need to have now that you are civilised.   You'll know the store by its name...."
 
       The Inuit is trying to keep up, so he asks, "What is the name of the store?"
 
       "It will say in big letters in the front window, 'L - I - Q - U - O - R  and  B - e - e - r'   and 'L - O - T - T - E - R - Y'.   Okay?"  responded the Mairican from the government. As he/she boarded the Helicopter to fly back over Sarah Palin's homestead to make obscene gestures, the government Mairican shouted over the rotor,"We'll be back later with your Obamacare Card."
 
      Before two generations pass, 57% of the males over the age of 13 are alcoholics.   There are no igloos.   There are shacks...what is left of modular, efficient housing provided by the central government's BIA.   Garbage is everywhere. Eigthy per cent of the population has diabetes.    The "beatings" have become brutal, the children are run amok, smoking dope, few girls make it to the age of 16 without at least one miracle baby.   Only about one-fourth of the cultural unit is capable of functioning at the levels where they were in the 1950s.
 
     This is a blog entry of bitterness.   Southerners are still unrecovered from the Central Government's imposition of New York Bankers - Andrew Jackson nefariousness and the banishment by those agents  of about one-half of the Cherokee Nation out of parts of Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.  The Bureau of Indian Affairs would probably be in a very close tie for first place of the Central Government  bureaucracies that would be vaporised upon my ascent to the Throne.  FEMA would rank right up there as well, along with about 78% of the Secretariats.
 
     This blog entry is made specifically to remind one and all, including the Gringo Viejo, what Government Help looks like....

Tom DeLay moves closer to full vindication

 
 
 
‘The Hammer’ cautiously optimistic about his freedom


TOM DeLAY'S CASE MOVES CLOSER TO
BEING CANCELLED.   NO NEW TRIAL
WILL BE CONDUCTED ACCORDING
TO MOST OBSERVERS.

 
 
     DeLay had six attorneys....incredibly enough of very high repute...honest men.   Several of them had  worked with my brother who ran the Associated Republicans of Texas (ART), a group that handled literally scores of millions of dollars over a 30 year period and never failed any audit or trumped up investigation.   The  objective of the ART was to enhance campaigns and provide some funding for local, State Representative, and State Senator positions in the Republic of Texas, only.
     I know these things as a fairly close activist in Republican affairs for many years, and because my brother was Executive Director of the Associated Republicans of Texas. Until his incapacitation due mainly to age, his honour and integrity was never challenged even by the most gutter-bound slimy Democrat, even the arch-socialist Lloyd Doggett.

     These above-mentioned attorneys advised Mr. DeLay that his procedure was honest, legal, and most of all morally correct. DeLay proceeded, reasonably, on the basis of reasonable counsel. I know  this to be true because I  was familiar with the case and the manners and methods of Mr. DeLay's defence team.
     DeLay was investigated four times and material was taken before grand jury after grand jury until finally the last grand jury moved to indict. The case made no sense. The construct was ludicrous and almost every Democrat in Travis County had done things far more questionable.
 
    The conviction of DeLay flabbergasted even the Democrat politicians. Everyone knew that it would be impossible to convict a man who had done everything out in the open. The evidence used against him were the legal filings that he made and kept available to public view according to the law.
 
     It is the same thing that happened to Scooter Libby. Innocent of everything, they had to convict of something. He was, quite literally, convicted of being innocent. I still fault George W. Bush for not having given Libby clemency.
 
     The only reason the DA went for the indictment on DeLay was because the Republicans in Congress had said that each would, if indicted, resign from the position. DeLay did resign as promised when indicted, much to the cheers and celebration of the reptilian Democrat Socialist Party people. I sincerely believe that even the punk, Ronnie Earl the District Attorney, was surprised at the conviction.
 
    Please remember that Sandy Berger rifled documents from the National Archives....by the scores...stuffed them in his...ychhhhh - underwear and socks. Each rifling was a felony. George Bush and AG Gonzalez determined not to prosecute him, because it would have seemed unseemly and partisan. Berger was stealing documents that proved that Bill Clinton lied before ethe "9-11 Commission"  about his activities concerning terrorism infiltration and his dealings concerning Usama bin Laden.  (Clinton did lie, several times)
 
   Double standard. Republican overparks, he is taken out to be shot. Democrat murders a girl and leaves her body in a sunken Oldsmobile in the dark, rushing waters of Chappaquiddick Sound....he receives accolades and a standing ovation for being a murderous demagogue and hypocritical, socialist slug.
 
And that, my esteemed OROGs, is the name of that tune.
El Gringo Viejo

EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it! DOG BITES MAN!!! EXTRA! EXTRA!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
     A person has to fight against the inclination to become tired at these stories.   But what does a person do?   At each turn, Obama lies, constructs, fudges, invents, blames, wiggles, weasels, sneers, slanders, and generally acts like the white-trash that he is.   He snickers at his own low information followers....those poor dolts who line up like some kind of choir behind him and who give him adulation and the backbone that he lacks from the inside out.
     We remember so very well when he spoke in front of the CEO at the Caterpillar plant, declaring that "Right here, we see the recovery happening, because Caterpillar is going to be hiring ten billion, million, quadzillion people to-morrow, due to our stimulus package!!!"   And, of course, the next day, the Caterpillar CEO has to call a press conference to say, "I have no idea who that dumboe  was who was talking about us hiring anybody.  We have no such plans and we are treading very carefully in troubled waters and will be doing so for the foreseeable future."

     Then, at a "Worship Obama Camp Meeting" in Florida, several score zomboe adulators were assembled expressly for  the task of   worshipping Obama.   While El Gringo Viejo now takes a bit of poetic license  within the context of his prose, the following substantially accurate account is included for the OROGs' enlightenment.
     Just before the Altar Call, a woman spoke in the well-practiced voice of a panhandler...that sweet, pained, victimised voice of a person well-schooled in reminding all how much greater her morality and suffering  is than yours because she is destitute, in pain, and hungry....she spake and said, "I'se livin' in my cah,  an all my stuff iz in th' trunk of dat cah.  I'se been tryin' jus' to fine someways tuh gits me a place that's got a kitchin.  I'd do anything jus to has me a place to live in."
      What was astounding is that the woman apparently had just come out of the green room and the make-up staff's attention, because she was "all fixed-up real nice" as is said in Texas.  Her hair was done, make-up well-done and fresh, and something rang out that, if Barney were there, he'd tell Fred, "Fred, I don't like the looks of this".

     But Father Obamaham was thrown off teleprompter only a little...and he listened  to the woman's panhandling routine.   As she finished, Saint Barack lifted his sceptre and deigned, "Somebody get that lady's name...we're gonna help that woman.   George Bush threw her out on the street and we're gonna find her a nice place to live....right away."  A magnificent example of direct democracy and demagoguery all melted down into the same septic sludge at which Marxists are so adept.   The drone-zombies applauded Father Obamaham, and gazed with worshipful wonder upon his person.

    She never did receive her new Obamacastle.  She actually was involved in a permanent barge-in with family.  It was all sham mixed with chutzpah and out-and-out deceit.  In later newspaper articles she seemed a bit disappointed that she had never been awarded her kitchen.  The Obsolete Press forgot about her very quickly.

       But, of course, the days went by...and nothing happened.

  

Deceit???   Deceit??? Oh! Heaven forbid. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 

CNN reports that a woman the president hailed as an Obamacare success story just realized she won't be able to afford Obamacare because it's too expensive:
 
     "Jessica Sanford was cited by the president as an Obamacare success story at a health care event he had here at the White House in the Rose Garden on October 21," says a reporter for CNN from the White House. "That of course being just last month. The 48-year-old single mom from Washington state purchased what she considered to be affordable health care, life-changing event, she said, on the Washington state health exchange. She decided she was so excited about this news, she wanted to write an e-mail to the president to say that this had really changed her life and that she was thankful for the Afforable Care Act. The president included her e-mail in his remarks to people on hand for the event. Here's a bit of what the president had to say."
 
The CNN report quotes President Obama as saying, "I recently received a letter from a woman named Jessica Sanford in Washington state. And here's what she wrote, I am a single mom, no child support, self-employed. and I haven't had insurance for 15 years because it's too expensive. I was crying the other day when I signed up, so much stress lifted."

"But days, just really three days after she was mentioned by the president, Jessica Sanford started having problems, she was receiving letters from the Washington state health exchange," reports CNN. "The first letter telling her that tax credit was reduced, therefore, increasing the cost of her health care plan and the, take a look at this, then she received a letter just last week telling her that her tax credit had been taken away all together. Show you another document here, showing what the tax credit worked out to be... zero dollars according to this document that was provided to us by Jessica Sanford. She describes all of this as a roller coaster ride. Now she says she can't afford insurance in Washington state because of the new developments."
Sanford tells CNN that she's embarrassed. "It was a huge disappointment, especially since I had, you know, my story had been shared by the president. I felt like, you know, I just felt really embarrassed that, you know, he quoted my story and then come to find that the Washington health plan finder, the website here in our state, had grossly miscalculated or they're having a problem figuring their tax credits. and so at least for right now, I don't -- I'm not going to be getting insurance," she says.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     We must confess being tired of the Queen for a Day routine.  I know that people are tired.  We know that there is want.  We know that there is stress and that money does not go far enough.    We know that there is worry.  We know that at every corner there are insurmountable problems.  We have lived it, and we are living it.  Even the wealthy live it.  No matter where one finds himself/herself in the sociological class/wealth chart, there is stress.
     What we resent is the notion that a person can decide to foist off his/her perceived wants and needs upon another unseen person.  I buy, you pay.   We breed/ you feed.  And it is done with the alacrity of self-entitlement without concern about what damage the taker is doing to the producer.   It is, simply stated, the notion that "If I have less than you, I am better than you.  If I want more than I have, and you have anything, then I am better than you and I deserve to take what you have".   It is a form of official extortion of the worst sort.....Caesar has legalised the act.
 
     El Gringo Viejo has tired of that game long, long ago.  Now, however, it is time to destroy entitlements.   There is no money.  Eighteen trillion dollars is a lot of money....you know, like the old adage...."....a trillion here and a trillion there...and pretty soon it adds up to real money."
 
Now, where did I put my NoDoze and Airwick?   It's time for breakfast and I need a drink.

Plaintive, Defiant, trying to be respectful, but.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
    We include a missive from a young woman who just wanted the president to know that she sees through his hypocrisy.   El Gringo Viejo was waiting for the Queen for a Day request or demand for direct help of some sort, like the woman who said that she was living out of her car when Obama held a "town hall" gathering of people who wanted him to give them something.  Obama listened to the woman's recounting of all the things she had suffered....and as she attempted to make people realise that she was the only person who had ever suffered, and that she alone was to be admired the most because she was bestowed the Most Moral Because I Am the Poorest and Most Helpless and I Am Better Than You Are Because of It.   Even the President, as a polished shyster and jiver  and shakedown artist as he, was impressed and he called over to some of his lackeys and told them to "....get that lady's name...we gonna help that woman.  We're gonna help her get out that car and into a nice place!"    Applause by the crowd of dunces and parasites.  
 
     But this woman is not like that.   She is fighting the lion at the front door and the bear at the back door.   She is tired, worn out.  She may have been misled as to who can help and who cannot.   But she is not asking for help.  If we read carefully, she is essentially asking for Obama to get out of the way.   She suggests that his policies are keeping her from moving up from waitress to hostess, cashier, and assistant manager.   Her language is above average.  Her writing ability is actually quite good.  But El Gringo Viejo was impressed with the fact that with the normal belly-aching that reflects that she is sane, she did not move into that hideous, self-defeating realm of "What are you going to do for me?"
 
     She had well over 100,000 likes on Facebook back in mid-October....probably many, many more by now...and her cry for reason has even made the news in Germany.  Her cause was taken up to a degree by the Texas National Movement, which is where we learned of her eloquence.

October 18th, 2013
Dear President Obama,

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you have done and are doing. You see I am a single Mom located in the very small town of Palmer, Texas. I live in a small rental house with my two children. I drive an older car that I pray daily runs just a little longer. I work at a mediocre job bringing home a much lower pay-check than you or your wife could even imagine living on. I have a lot of concerns about the new "Obamacare" along with the taxes being forced on us Americans and debts your are adding to our country. I have a few questions for you Mr. President.
 
Have you ever struggled to pay your bills? I have.
 
Have you ever sat and watched your children eat and you eat what was left on their plates when they were done, because there wasn't enough for you to eat to? I have.
 
Have you ever had to rob Peter to pay Paul, and it still not be enough? I have.
 
Have you ever been so sick that you needed to see a doctor and get medicine, but had no health insurance because it was to expensive? I have.
 
Have you ever had to tell your children no, when they asked for something they needed? I have.
 
Have you ever patched holes in pants, glued shoes, replaced zippers, because it was cheaper than buying new? I have.
 
Have you ever had to put an item or two back at the grocery store, because you didn't have enough money? I have.
 
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep, because you had no clue how you were going to make ends meet? I have.
 
My questions could go on and on. I don't believe you have a clue what Americans are actually going through and honestly, I don't believe you care. Not everyone lives extravagantly. While your family takes expensive trips that cost more than most of us make in two-four years, there are so many of us that suffer. Yet, you are doing all you can to add to the suffering. I think you are a very selfish and cold hearted man, who does not care what is best for the people he was elected by (not by me) to represent, but more so out for the glory of your name attached to history.
So thank you Mr. President, thank you for pushing those of us that are barely staying afloat completely under water and driving America into the ground. You have made your mark in history, as the absolute worst and most hated president of the United States.
 
God have mercy on your soul!

Sincerely,

Yolanda Vestal
Average American
 
 
     So, there's the word from the "Hispanic" vote, and the "Texan" Vote and the "Women's vote, and on and on.   These are our people, and they really do not give a flip about immigration reform or shovel ready jobs.  This woman is above average in intelligence and seems to understand (correctly) that the wage and opportunity situation is being terribly impacted by Obama's anti-business, anti-wealth measures and attitudes.
 
     Texas Nationalist Movement, El Gringo Viejo, El Zorro, and several million other people are pushing to solve this good woman's predicament with honest and meaningful measures.
 
Hold in, Yolanda.  The cavalry will arrive.

Stork Report

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
File:Carl Spitzweg 029.jpg      We interrupt our breakfast of Airwick and No-doz to celebrate with all OROGs a blessed event.   A baby was mis-delivered by The Stork in charge of that particular zip code in Central Texas.   We have proof of the "failure in delivery".  One reason is because a nice man made a picture of the event, a certain Herr Carl Spitzburg, just as the Stork flew over the waiting family and passed them by.   One can see various of our extended family waiting to catch the baby, immediately below the flight path.  Cradle crib, swaddlings and everything was ready.

     Finally, after considerable wrangling with the authorities in charge of mis-directed deliveries, the Master Stork Guild finally conceded that the wrong address had received the baby and authorised the re-delivery to the correct address.

     All is really well.  And all the family of El Gringo Viejo and his better three - quarters are elated.   The mother and father of the baby and her two older brothers are overjoyed,  and the child has blossomed in her new environment in a way that not even this old man has ever seen a child respond so quickly and positively.   The child is not only attractive but she is also lightning quick of mind, which means that she is in the right place....now.

     El Gringo Viejo and his better three-quarters are the Great-uncle and Great-aunt respectively.   We are not really able to contain ourselves about bragging about my nephew and his sainted wife, and their two boys who had normal and predictable stork arrivals and their new addition.   The fact is that we are very proud of all five of them.   Each is very accomplished, and they interface with civil society in such a way that it brings to mind those times, quite a long while back, when civility and social formulae were admired and almost required.   In short...they are just good folks.


     Although they have posted on facebook and the parents are very high profile in the "extreme Central Texas" area, we defer from naming names or identifying the particular folks involved,  any further than what we have.  However, the  above-pictured  does show  our new Angel looking back up at the Angels who sent her to "extreme Central Texas", where she belongs.

     The entire clan is tickled pink, literally, and we are hoping to be able to invest a bit in the nurturing of this wonderful "bundle from Heaven.   As there are updates, we shall provide them discreetly, as we do with our other grandchildren and children.   It is strictly selfish on the Gringo Viejo's part, so that he can show that he comes out of the cave occasionally and actually does enjoy the beauty and goodness around him. 

We thank all the OROGs for their indulgence.

A Trollybus of Thoughts, Impressions, and Grouchy Mutterings

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


(1)   Hayley Barbour, one time Republican National Committee and Governor of Mississippi is a dolt.  He explained at length to a report the other day that it was necessary to "do whatever was necessary to win" and that is why they had to block the candidacy of Cuccinelli for Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia because there was no way he could win and he was an embarrassment to the Republican Party.   So, he and a few other country club Republicans arranged to fund the candidacy of a no-chance-to-win Libertarian because they knew that that candidate would siphon off enough votes to block Cuccinelli and throw the election to the Democrat....who happens to be a New Yorker, an arch-socialist, a Hillary Zombie, and arrogant jackass, and a hypocrite.    Thanks, Haley, for being such a loyalist, and for doing those things that are so necessary to "Win".   If this is your idea of winning, you will understand why all of us...the little people out here in nowhere land....think that RINOs are afflicted with some kind of a serious brain syndrome.


      With the slightest SINCERE positive involvement by the GOP kinder, gentler, moderate, reasonable, and real Republicans we could easily have had a conservative Republican at the helm in this pivotally important State.  But, guys like you, Haley, take votes gladly from us right wing crazies, and then ridicule us as you turn your support to your "good friend" Terry McAuliffe , as you call him, as you actively arranged to raise money for the third party candidate and thereby torpedoed the GOP chances in the Old Dominion.
 
 
(2)    We have another "Lincoln freed the slaves moment" as the notion that "Bush did nothing" about Katrina continues to become an axiomatic truism that is false.   It has been repeated so much that, unfortunately, a falsity is becoming the truth.
     Governor Blanco of Louisiana dallied for four days after the failure of the essentially unattended and essentially dysfunctional system of locks, canals, and diversions that were designed many years ago to protect, at least in a small way, the interior of New Orleans from flooding.    Overflow from the Mississippi River is so catastrophic that any true breach of the improved, but essentially natural levees of the Mississippi could never be defended.
     The problem was with the incoming flow that originated in the Florida Parishes to the east of Baton Rouge and New Orleans, that inundated Lake Pontchartrain and thence overwhelmed the locks and diversions a bit north of New Orleans. 
     The next problem was that almost none of the gate keepers and engineers who are supposed to operate the locks and gates decided to stand their ground and deliver their services.  Being political appointees, making massive salaries while doing next to nothing, or in some cases, absolutely nothing...when the time for even the most basic selfless service came...they ran like the cowards, thugs, political hacks, bums, self-centred little squibs that they were and are.
Just like the school district personnel; administrative, teachers, janitors, bus drivers, and almost everybody.   Only the private schools, Catholic, Episcopal, Protestant kept their heads and tried to help others.    Mayor Nagin was nowhere to be found, as were the vast, vast majority of firemen and policemen.  Gone!  Puff!  Evaporated!  Except of course for the ones who also participated in the looting and ransacking of stores and private homes while what few cats there were left were being overwhelmed by the hordes of mice.
 
     And remember , while this is going on, Governor Blanco of Louisiana is still in Baton Rouge, 80 miles to the northwest, asking her staff if ".....these pants make my butt look too big."  The White House, of those days, thought that it was a odd thing that neither the Governess nor the Mayor had deigned it necessary to request a preliminary designation of the Crescent City and its surroundings be given a Federal Disaster Declaration.
     In a federal republic, such prerogatives must necessarily rest with the locale.   The central government cannot intervene unless requested.  They never requested until finally strongly exhorted by various heavy-lifters, including the entire command of the Louisiana National Guard.   But, by that time, the disaster was complete, people were coming out of the ghetto, wondering how in the name of the Great God of Food Stamps they were supposed to take care of themselves.   And, of course, it was all George Bush's fault, and that we know because even Shepard Smith make sure that no one,,, and we mean no one who had ever even looked at a Republican placard or television advertisement could ever again be considered remotely morally equal to him or any real reporter or any liberal...because they felt things in their hearts and the Republicans only care about money.
 
    Fault in the issue:   Blanco and Nagin and the entire corrupt New Orleans political machine.  They had 60 years to prepare for a relatively minor hurricane and a relatively minor flood episode...and failed.
 
     But Gringo Viejo, Gringo Viejo...Katrina was a devastating category V hurricane!!!!   No,  for a very brief period, while still in the distant middle of the Gulf of Mexico, Katrina made Category V.  When the eye of Katrina came  ashore near the border of Louisiana and Mississippi it was already a Category II.   The backside winds flowing from the north-northeast gusted a couple of times up to ninety miles per hour, but were sustained over hurricane force of any speed for only 3 hours.   The biggest disaster of the storm for New Orleans was State and City sloth and corruption, the blatant stupidity and sloth of the inner city residents who could do little or nothing for themselves, and the failure to make any....any....preparations.    The United States Representative William Jefferson Hamilton evidenced great heroism, however by commandeering a double-axle 7 tonne National Guard ordnance and commissary conveyance...that he used to rumble through the city...to his house....where he went in and extracted 100,000 USD in cash of bribe money paid to him by an African government for favours rendered.   Since there was no electricity he saw no reason to have to keep the money any longer in his freezer.   When they tried to leave, the double-axle became mired in the mud of Rep. Hamilton's expansive front yard and another similar truck had to be summoned to chain up and extract the first truck.    It's amazing what public servants have to suffer when they are serving the public.


(3)    Next, we have to suffer a woman who has managed to deduce that people do not like Obama.  And when people do not like Obama there is a whole lot of racism going on.  What a brilliant deduction.   A woman who is exactly like Obama in the sense that she is artificially created and controlled by an unseen management group.   They are to be lauded because they took an unattractive woman with scant interest in men, intellectual substance, or anything beyond  the most superficial and dysfunctional "charitable" operations and pulled the marionette magic of making her a "celebrity'' ...nay! a "personality"....even a "star"....and she manages to say that people do not like Obama because he is a Negro.   Brilliant.
    Uh....Opie....people who have an IQ over room temperature do not like Obama because he is a fire engine Red socialist who wants to enslave America for his Massa, George Soros...and lead as many white dogs to the guillotine as possible.   Among the first white dogs will be Herman Cain, Col. West, Mia Love, and every conservative of Black African ancestry he can root out.  Then he and Bill Ayres will start on the rest of the retrograde rightwingers.
     Oprah....good grief.   Being a slob, ugly, and very dull intellectually, one would think that you would have the grace, at least, to appreciate that you are not combing through the garbage in Nairobi searching for scraps.   Imagine the august and noble statement from Booker Tecumseh Washington who intoned, "In my estimation, it is better to have been born an American dog than an African King."  And...Opie....Booker T. was a much better human being than you....and a much better human being all the way around in terms of being an example of dignity, intelligence, forthrightness, and positive instructive influence for white man and black.

(4)     We thank the Lord that Texas had the good sense to  remain away from the Sirens' call to take the "free money" for Medicaid that Obama offered to those whom Father Obamaham and Valerie Jerrod considered to be dunces enough to take the dreaded poison.    One thing that the dumboes who took the poison have to understand, of course, that once that State takes the filthy lucre, within two short years, at political entity must pick up all the cost, AFTER the program has globbed on several million dregs, slugs, addicts, wounded drug traffickers, and others who are incapable of self-management.  AND, those entities will be allowed that great favour of dealing with those nice folks, like Uncle Omar and Auntie Zietuni, EXACTLY AS PRESCRIBED BY FATHER OBAMAHAM AND THE CABAL OF ANTI-AMERICAN SOCIALISTS DEMAND.

Ulysses lashed to the mast to avoid the
lure of the Sirens.  Look carefully to see
the wax in his ears, placed there to silence
the irresistible song of the seductresses.

 
     The OROG should be aware that only about 10% of Medicaid participants are people who arrived there through no moral or social fault of their own.  Only 10% are actually folks who are "dealt a bad hand, or down on their luck, or who have had a catastrophic event overwhelm them."

     As an addenda to this topic, all welfare and charity should and must be as locally administered by private agencies as is humanly possible.   It cannot be done as part of a National Welfare Scheme such as did the National Socialists of 1930s Germany nor the Bolshevik programmes of the past century.   We see even the ruin that national programmes have brought to the insignificantly small countries in northern, eastern, western, and southern Europe....all of whom have proud histories....and each of whom are now drab places filled in their majority by proles on the doles.   Grey, grey reality.
  (5)     Finally....there is no apology when a person apologises and says...."I am real sorry that the dolts and dumbasses of the American Union failed to understand my teleprompter."
       Obama has ridden this horse exactly to where he hoped it would be.   Promise much....cause a train-wreck....go back to the "Rules for Radical Playbook, Rule No. 3" and blame the capitalist structure (in this case the Insurance Industry) and finally run from third base to home plate.....and home plate is the implementation of the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative (OSMI).


(6)     Benghazi gun-running to Al Qaida sponsored "Freedom Fighters"?   Was it possibly a "for profit" operation being run for personal interests within the Obama administration?   Why was Mubarak driven out of office ?
The only possible result would be massive destabilisation of Egypt...a more than nominally reliable and almost noble ally in the complicated Rubik's Cube geo-political game in the Middle East.
     Where have all the Generals gone?
     Where have all the very, very highly trained actual combat Sergeants gone?  (El Zorro and Sgt. Cesar know from when El Gringo Viejo speaks.
     Why is homosexual tolerance and women in front line combat more important than actually having combat units whose job it is to break things and kill and wound the enemy?
      Why is it okay to invent stories out of whole clothe about "offensive videos about Mohammed, when such inventions can only be used to further humiliate an already diminished image of American competence?

     And, who will answer for 600 Mexicans who are totally innocent or involved in honestly going about their duties who have been killed in cross-fire incidents and in combat with the Cockroach Infestation that is the assembled cartel sub-human contamination.   The Fast and Furious programme was designed strictly for the purpose of defaming legitimate gun dealers and legal and compliant American private firearms owners.   It is like the Hillary - Reno - ATF and E conspiracy to do the same defamation job against private firearm ownership that resulted in the burning down of a religious kook's compound with the resultant deaths of 43 children.  There, an in the case of Fast and Furious, every possible explanation made by Janet Reno and her lackeys wound up being an assembly of lies....much of the mendacity aimed at protecting the fact that (Sir Edmund)Hillary and Reno co-ordinated on the project and somehow managed to coerce the willing participation of Gen. Wesley Clarke, the Hero of the Battle of Mt. Carmel, to violate the rule of Posse Comitatus by the employment of combat helicopters from Fort Hood in the execution of a matter that pertained to civilian, domestic affairs.
     About the Mexican thing, El Gringo Viejo has issues with real and perhaps imagined indignities inflicted by the Mexicans upon the Americans' best interest.   But in the main, they are an overwhelmingly positive factor for American interests and it serves no good to allow or facilitate the killing of so many solely for the purpose of advancing the cause of disarming legitimately armed Americans.  Good Grief.....and the explanation?  Lies.


(7)    Finally, in the matter of subsidies, we are fortunate that we are bald.  There is no more hair to pull out....(very little anyway).   Father Obamaham even stated, as he trots out explanation number 232 about why George Bush forced him to lie at every turn in his administration, that if a person wants to keep his "sub-standard, old, private plan" a little longer, that's okay with him.  And what if it costs more when that plan is given the "breath of Lazarus"?   No problem, they will qualify for a subsidy.  Stroke of a pen; Law of the Land.  Stroke of a pen; Law of the Land. Stroke of a pen; Law of the Land.

 
 
My Country 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty.  
 
 
We resign from this submission with the fervent hope that The Republic of Texas can be re-established at the earliest time possible so as to avoid these useless foreign entanglements with foreign powers, over which we have no real and final control.   It would be much better, obviously to be a friendly neighbour than a floor mat for every foolish socialist scheme that can be dreamed up for which Texas must ultimately pay.
