A Reasonable Prayer and Observation - Olde Episcopal - Anglican Style

__________________________________________________ 

    This is a poem by a master of the language from the XVIth Century and a bit later.   There is a bit of a key at the end to remind us of a bit of variation of precise meanings of certain words, but it is generally understandable by all.   My first priest, the Rev. Rollo K. Rilling was a jolly old soul, looking as he did there very embodiment of Santa Clause's younger brother.   He was quite a student of the language, being an expert from the period of the changes from English Gaelic dialects as they melded their tongues around the Norman French.  He taught us catechism classes with a profound seriousness and he also lectured us on the formative English language periods and influences.

     Many Episcopalians were devastated when the Protestant Episcopal Church of America threw out the Book of Common Prayer that essentially dated back to the mid - 1500s.  It contained intricately precise verbiage and eloquence and comfortable instruction never equalled since.   It was the same as the Romans throwing the Latin out....something they should have at a minimum alternated with the local vernacular.   Still to this day, when the Tridentine Roman Mass is celebrated at the Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Roble in downtown Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico soldiers and police must be called in to control traffick and pedestrian crowds....even of young people.   The last time the date was named, three Masses had to be expanded to nine....and we are talking about a Basilica that can hold 5,000 communicants.

     The loss of the "Old Book" for the Americans led to the evacuation of the Episcopal Church of the most loyal.   The emphasis upon advancing respect and honours to homosexuals above all else, instead of worrying about the souls of all of the Nazarene's brethren also has driven a stake into the Episcopal Church's vital organs.   As socialism translates into the notion that the property of everyone soon becomes the rusted, broken, weedy, and littered property of no one, so too does a church that seeks relevance and congruity with the mode du jour soon becomes irrelevant to those in need of repair or maintenance of soul.

A Thanksgiving to God, for His House

Lord, Thou hast given me a cell
Wherein to dwell,
A little house, whose humble roof
Is weather-proof:
Under the spars of which I lie
Both soft, and dry;
Where Thou my chamber for to ward
Hast set a guard
Of harmless thoughts, to watch and keep
Me, while I sleep.
Low is my porch, as is my fate,
Both void of state;
And yet the threshold of my door
Is worn by th' poor,
Who thither come and freely get
Good words, or meat.
Like as my parlour, so my hall
And kitchen's small;
A little buttery, and therein
A little bin,
Which keeps my little loaf of bread
Unchipp'd, unflead;*
Some brittle sticks of thorn or briar
Make me a fire,
Close by whose living coal I sit,
And glow like it.
Lord, I confess too, when I dine,
The pulse^§ is Thine,
And all those other bits, that be
There plac'd by Thee;
The worts^†, the purslain, and the mess
Of water-cress,
Which of Thy kindness Thou hast sent;
And my content
Makes those, and my beloved beet,
To be more sweet.
'Tis Thou that crown'st my glittering hearth
With guiltless mirth;
And giv'st me wassail-bowls to drink,
Spic'd to the brink.
Lord, 'tis Thy plenty-dropping hand
That soils my land;
And giv'st me, for my bushel sown,
Twice ten for one;
Thou mak'st my teeming hen to lay
Her egg each day;
Besides my healthful ewes to bear
Me twins each year;
The while the conduits of my kine
Run cream, for wine.
All these, and better, Thou dost send
Me, to this end,
That I should render, for my part,
A thankful heart,
Which, fir'd with incense, I resign,
As wholly Thine;
But the acceptance, that must be,
My Christ, by Thee.

--Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

Misconception, Misdirection, and Confrontation

________________________________________________________

 

 

    My sense of liberation is beginning to take over my inner-grumpo, in-born nature.  Everything is pretty much hopeless by this point.  The seeds of discontent, the false gods and saints are established as something accepted by the greater, more reasonable, society.

 

   Idiotic word applications are replaced by even more idiotic words and phrases;   faggot becomes "gay", Indian becomes "native-American", Negro becomes "African-American", and Christmas becomes "Merry Solstice" or other such lesser terms such as "Kwanza" or "Winter Holiday".

     There are at least five times that we have had the good fortune to listen to some dunce of an Obsolete Press reporter, working on-site in Africa, refer to the coloured natives as "African Americans" so as to differentiate them from the Indians from India or the Arabs from Africa, etc.

      The number of times that I have been treated to the sight of homosexuals being referred to as "gay" , when in fact those pictured looked to be pretty sad, self-defeating, perverse, and miserable, is well up into the multiple scores.

     It harkens back to the old notion among right-wingers that the "reformers" and "progressives" always say and do the opposite of what the truly believe and how they act when out of view.  Therefore sad becomes "gay", what is hideous becomes "beautiful", mendacity becomes "truth",  Taxation becomes "investment", and Marxism becomes "income redistribution", and of course, regulation and regimentalisation and over-regulation becomes "efficient use of finite resources" that only the Government can provide.

     Burning coal to power electric autos becomes "eco-green friendly", and chopping up eagles, hawks, and other down-gazing predator birds is called "eco-friendly, renewable, resource-based, wind-powered electrical generation systems".

     Shovel-ready is another way of saying, "I can say anything as long as marxist professors are telling nincompoops who have no business being at university that governments can stimulate an economy by taking money from here and spending it there."

     Of course, we needn't wander into the thick grass of, "MY plan will save the average American family $2,500 per year on their medical insurance.  And if you like your plan, you can keep it, and if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor."   That one is up where, "I've drawn a line in the sand."  These are verbulations that are very difficult to translapidate into anything remotely sanitarily glubfubbled.

     We now have that delightful sight of the grandmother and the mother of Gentle Giant Michael Brown jousting and clubbing their way against each other, working out their grief, over the thug they birthed up to terrorise the white and all other communities, including the black one.   This would be funny, of course, if it were not so overwhelmingly tragic.

Michael Brown’s Mother Beats and Robs Michael Brown’s Grandma

by - Daniel Greenfield

7 November 2014

 

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. He is completing a book on the international challenges America faces in the 21st century.

(All copy in this article is derived from the article by Daniel Greenfield, writing for FRONTPAGE.COM MAG, and it attributable to that entity.  Secondary research by El Gringo Viejo has verified that the incident is a true matter, is under police and prosecutorial scrutiny at this time, and was apparently covered up by the Obsolete Press and FOX News due to the preposterousness of the truth of the matter.  Greenfield's work in this lamentable matter is compliant with the facts, and perhaps a bit understated out of deference to the matter that it deals indirectly with the death of a young person, and the aftermath brought on by that young person's self-indulgence and hubris)

 Print This Post

      Br'er Al, with the mother of the "Gentle Giant", at one or

      another of the memorials to that Icon of Civilisation,

      whose life was cut short, like most young black men, by

      a white cop who thought his badge was a license to

      legally murder young, innocent black men. (?)

_____________________________________________________

    I’m not sure who the “Gentle Giant” is in this story. Probably everybody. I assume the cops and white people are to blame. Somehow.

Just don’t look for the brawl by liberalism’s first broken family of victimhood to get the media attention of the “Palin family brawl”.

 Police in Ferguson, Mo., are investigating a fight between members of the family of Michael Brown which allegedly erupted over the sale of merchandise last month.
Pearlie Gordon, Michael Brown Sr.’s mother-in-law and Michael Brown’s grandmother, told police that she was selling “Justice for Mike Brown” items in a parking lot Oct. 18 when a group of about 20 to 30 people rushed toward her, according to an incident report. Gordon said that Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, told her that she couldn’t sell the merchandise.
Michael Brown’s grandmother then told Michael Brown’s mother that “unless McSpadden could produce documentation stating she had a patent on her son’s name, she (Gordon) was going to continue to sell her merchandise,” the report states.

You’ve gotta nail down the merchandising rights for the latest victim of white oppression. But she should have shouted, “Hands Up, Don’t Loot.” I hear that works.

That’s when Michael Brown’s mother started to rip down items from the booth.
Michael Brown’s grandmother told police she was hit on the head and knocked to the ground. She said Michael Brown’s mother punched her during the incident, in which more than $1,500 in merchandise and at least $400 in cash was stolen. (later reports have indicated that as much as $1,500 was stolen, perhaps more - el gringo viejo)

I hope they can go to the UN with this too. Just like they did with the death of the Gentle Robbing Giant.

A witness watched the fight and recorded it, but didn’t immediately provide the police department with the video, according to the report.

I’m sure the Justice Department is already working to shut down the video, just like they tried to do for Brown’s robbery video.

     This all pretty much just blows my hair-do out of place.  So, we shall hang up the gunbelt, hang the old lever-action up above the mantle, kick our boots off and sit and rest for a while, and then make me up a turkey sandwich, with lots of mayonnaise and black pepper, and that special hot sauce that I cooked up the day before yesterday.   You know, thinking about these folks fighting over a shirt commemorating a close relative's death, so as to determine who is going to profit by that death????   ...white trash do come in all colours.

     We watched the events of Ferguson, Missouri occur last night, without any sense of surprise, but with a profound sense of sadness.   It seems that the world, but more especially the American Republic has fallen off the rails of reality.

     The fact is, however, that the world has been in worse shape.  Wars, plagues, and all manner of uprisings....Robespierre, Lenin, Hitler.   Smallpox, polio, and fifty per cent child morality.   Women going to childbirth with a twenty per cent chance of mortality by her third child, and such things.

 

     During these times, our greatest problem does not seem to be, but bluntly, is, the lack of any reasonable catechism....Protestant, Orthodox, Judaic....or at the very least, the studied ethicist.   The lack of catechism, and the second like unto it, the shaping of attitudes replacing the tutelage of knowledge combined in recent years to destroy any justification for ever singing, "God Bless America".

 

     To-day,  America is bad.  White people are bad.  All white people were bad. All white people will always be bad.  There is no reason to believe in the tooth faery or Santa Clause, we have Holy Days to no purpose beyond the justifying three contiguous days of escaping the salt-mine.  We cancel days that are meant to honour truly great persons, while others who are terribly morally flawed, are adulated by a purposefully ignorant populace.

 

     We hide from the presence of the Great Cosmic Force, as did Adam and Eve, shamed by our own disobedience, but too prideful to regret it.  So we hide.  We hide behind platitudes.   The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  There should be bi-partisan agreement to help the middle-class.   We need to invest in our children with better schools.   You only get the quality of teacher that you're willing to pay for.   Everyone is in favour of the safety net for people who really need it.  There is no other entity except for the "Federal Government" that is big enough to deal with "The Problem".

 

     Of course, the fact is that the "safety net" is the ruin of a nation.  Paying people who have not decided to pay their own way is what the "safety net" has become....long ago.  It only took one and one-half generations for the lethargic to learn that it was easier to let someone else pay the bills.   This was the plan of the Socialist Elitists and Wise Ones like Gruber and Pelosi and the (Sir Edmund) Hillary - types to develop a large army of hopelessly stupid, mean, coarse, indolent, violent and entitled humanoids.   They knew, and as Eleanor Roosevelt had hoped, the establishment of a perpetual underclass that would justify an ever expanding roll for the central government to control each and every act and action of a bulk of citizenry that could ensure re-election of intellectual, elitist socialist politicians.

    The "safety net" encourages the lack of willingness to construct a marriage, by allowing an easy out.   An argument, a money problem, a bad health habit, or any provocation major or minor can quickly end any relationship, allowing usually the male to disappear "somewhere".   The pressure of having to work 30 to 90 hours a week to provide for family is daunting for the morally un-schooled and the intellectually incapable or unprepared.

 

     Part of this formula for success requires the flooding of the Republic with people who are woefully unqualified for residence in this Republic.  More and more people who arrive with the expectation, as so eloquently stated by the girl in Guatemala, "I want to take my son and daughter.  In the United States they pay people to eat."

 

     Another part is the seemingly autistic confrontation of the fact that at any given time in any large city, although not so much in the South, the mall or downtown shopping, bars, and restaurant district, hordes of black young people by the scores or hundreds can suddenly appear, steal and/or destroy everything possible in two or three minutes, and then flee.   Response by "leaders" of the "civil rights" community?   An autistic gaze....off to one side, and some mumbling about..."....it's to be spected, siderin what we have to put up with....the police dissin' us, no jobs, scrimination, cut-backs on sential services......".   But Jesse and Al, Barry and Eric, Sheila and Nancy, you all have a problem.   You all made your mark by being lying shysters and demagogues;  tommin' for the po'fokes, essentially.   And after tomming, you all go back to your gated communities so as to avoid the "realities" of life in the 'hood.

     Another unfortunate thing for the "progressives" this time;   there are just too many Black folks who perform at or above normal levels of intelligence, accomplishment, and adaptation to social norms.   Even in this Ferguson debacle, one in which Holder, Sharpton, and Soetoro excelled in their racist, marxist rant, the day was carried by a large number of volunteer witnesses to the Grand Jury who rendered testimony that was verifiable by means of forensic evidence.   Those witnesses, at great risk to themselves, testified as eye-witnesses, and even one or two , because he/ she/they were black.   One man stated that he felt obligated as a black man to come and establish the facts in agreement with what the officer said, in order to vindicate the veracity of the neighbourhood.   All of the Black folks who testified that the officer's  story was accurate and true risked a great deal, because they are obviously surrounded daily by others who have no catechism, no social or academic education, and no compunction about seriously injuring someone or destroying someone's property.

     And, please be aware, El Gringo Viejo is not talking about everyone being a  Dr. Carson, Condoleezza Rice, or Colonel West, although they are good examples.  I am talking about the guy who goes to work....at any legal and morally correct job.  The guys who have any set of advanced skills, or a business however small or large.  Once again, it is the skilled mechanic, the hair-dresser saving up to establish her own shoppe or buy out the one where she has become the "lead girl", or the teacher, or the Nurse Practitioner....etc. etc. etc.   We are references men who lead their children by their presences and guidance, and who lord over "The Family".

Why the balky deployment of the National Guard in Ferguson, Missouri?

    

     Little known but very relevant facts seem to float around in the ether like low hanging fruit on a short tree.  Weapons of mass destruction were found, early on during the Iraq invasion.  Lois Lerner's emails were found in plain sight.  A Marine Sergeant's early release from Mexican detention was confounded by Barry Soetoro's unwillingness to come clean about Fast and Furious secretly funnelling automatic weapons via the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives into Mexico.  Solyndra executives were kicking back campaign contributions from their huge salaries that were paid by  government-backed grants and loans.  Those grants and loans quickly were quickly exhausted as Solyndra went bankrupt, as did most (if not all) of the "green industry" subsidies to Democrat donors to Obama.   Tax, tax.  Spend, spend. Elect, elect.

     But here is another interesting fact, relevant to the destruction of a nice little town where once there was peace and a bit of prosperity.   The State prosecutor who headed the Grand Jury and his office decided to keep the US Department of Justice in the loop concerning scheduling, evidence recovery, and the general direction of the Grand Jury's progress.

     These transmissions were supposedly, and reasonably, confidential and certainly not for publication or broadcast.  It turns out that "....a very highly placed official in the Department of Justice", informed "someone" in the Washington Post offices that the findings and conclusions of the Grand Jury were going to be released a such and such hour, on such and such date.

 

     And so, although the perfectly worthless, useless, and disingenuous governor of the State of Missouri had mobilised the National Guard a bit less than a week earlier, they remained un-deployed....hanging around in the centre of St. Louis instead.   The honourable (?) Governor was certainly advised by the Department of Justice that they had learned of a probable announcement.  He probably confirmed to the Department of Justice that he had the same information.  It was then that some agent of Eric Holder or Holder himself, in all probability, told the honourable (?) Governor Nixon to not send in the National Guard....let the people get their protests out of their systems....we don't want to act like Republicans....or whatever.

     It was then that Holder and Obama would meet and decide to have Obama make a parting-of-the-waters speech on the air....telling the "protestors'' to stand down and seek the path of peace.   That would be the signal to burn the town to the ground.   Obama's ridiculous focus-group-phrases address to the nation in general and Ferguson in particular was designed to re-assure the single women and rich women and union thugs that Obama is a man of Peace, and the Advocate of the Salvation of the Collective.

     The problem for Obama and Holder, if this scenario is true, is that Obama never had the chance to part the waters by holding up his magic staff.   His help mates from the New Muslim Brotherhood and the Communist Party, apparently with their own access to reliable timing information, had kicked-off the "party" ahead of schedule, once they were certain that the policeman had been no-billed.

     This left Father Obamaham talking about following the rules and how America is a nation of Laws (?) and violence will not be tolerated. blah, blah, blah, while on the split screen the whole world could see Ferguson burning.

    All ridiculous.  All designed for the low information and low intelligence crowd who has an addiction for "reality programmes".  The National Guard, in any regard was not deployed.  They were mobilised, but not deployed.  Had they been deployed, en force, four hours before, things would have been different.  It they had been correctly staffed-up, there would have been 7,500 infantry with bayonets fixed and with announcements having been made that any looters would have to consider that the police and soldiers have orders to shoot-to-kill any looters, vandals, or provocateurs.   That is what is required when dealing with mentally, morally, and socially defective humanoids.

  

Attorney General Eric Holder
Hero of the Battle of Ferguson

___________________________________________________

 
     Because the good Governor Nixon was more concerned with the tender feelings of the looters and vandals than with the business community, another $20,000,000 in damages was racked up, and several businesses were completely destroyed.   First things first.  We really needed to let the "peaceful protestors" have their right to protest respected?   That solved all the problems?  

    But at least Eric Holder taught the Whiteys who had the power of life, death, and property over the stupid taxpayers and business owners.   Problem was....many, perhaps a majority....were Black folks, Orientals, and old-timers.  Good show, Eric!!  You are a real marxist sack of camel vomit.

                _______________________________________________

 

     Like the parents of Treyvon Martin, we find that the parental convolution arrangement of the "Gentle Giant" (hood for 'bully') now has the mother and step-father in line for felony charges of aggravated assault and robbery (the mother) and inciting to riot, aggravated on the step-father's part.

     The mother, totally ripped apart by all of this, charged in and confiscated a vendor's operation because he was selling "hands-up! don't shoot" souvenir T-shirts and other "memorabilia" when it is the mother's contention that all such sales pertain to her prerogative and copyright.   A lot of grieving involved here, don't you see?   After all, she had thrown the "Gentle Giant" out in the street two years earlier because of his habit of beating her up for money...and stealing household items.  Nice kid....nice mom...nice step-father.   Mom wields a pretty good metal pipe, according to witnesses.

     The story becomes wilder and wilder as the hours go by, but authorities are considering serious charges at this time.

Thanks for your time and interest.  Please remember that this same disorder is what goes on down in Iguala where the "students'' were lost.  These movements serve only to destroy and debase.   The participants do not care about anything except disorder, damage, threats, and death.  It is their objective.  They hate America.

"We wanted more" - Jorge Ramos

____________________________________

JORGE RAMOS,
UNIVISION, FUSION 

 ______________________________________________________
 

We are given go understand that Jorge Ramos demands more. 

 

     Jorge is described as being the number 2 most popular person among Hispanics in the United States. I doubt that, quite sincerely, and also suggest that the definition of popularity and Hispanic could take up the better part of several year's engagement.
      The one thing that is known is that Jorge is a marxist facilitator. During the last rounds of the Presidential campaign of 2012, Obama appeared on a Univision programme with Jorge and a nice lady, fellow marxist reporterette, looking very professional, of course. Jorge, also of course, is a racist who sees everything through the microscope that reveals all "Hispanics" being as being victims of a capitalist Anglo-American-Jew conspiracy, and through the telescope that shows marxist thugs and frauds such as Obama, Hugo Chavez, Carolina Fernandez de Kirchner, and the Castro clowns to be heroic, larger-than-Rushmore Titans of Purpose for the Poor.
      Ramos did his duty by serving as the straight man for his fellow marxist fraud. He asked Obama about "Fast and Furious", and before he could finish the question, Obama high-handed the "moderator" and said something to the effect that ...."I didn't know anything about that when i came into office. It was a Bush Administration programme, and as soon as I found out about it, I ordered it closed down." Jorge Ramos and his reporterette assistant sat like bumps on a log, nodded, and went on to the next softball.
      So, Jorge...you want more?? Do you really want more?? Here is more. You are a liar. You knew the truth and what a truthful answer would sound like. You heard a blatant lie, and sacrificed your duty as a reporter, as usual, to follow the old tired, ethnically bigoted, marxist inspired path you have always followed...hypocrite though you are. You live in Miami because you tired of hanging around a place that is full of Mexicans. Typical marxist, arrogant hypocrisy.
      You knew that the Bush-era programme was called "Wide-Receiver" and that it was closely co-ordinated with the Mexican Army. You know that the Army and the US DOJ worked effectively in tracking the chipped automatic rifles into serpents' nests of the traffickers. When the Army found out that the chips were discovered, they notified their American counterparts and the moles were dispersed, and the programme was shut down.
      Fast and Furious, on the other hand was established solely for the purpose of feeding American private-type arms into the hands of cartel people with the intention and blatant hope that they would be used in the shooting of American civilians and/or constabulary. This was so as to begin active measures to close down gun sales to private parties such as individual Americans.
     To date over 1,300 Mexicans have been killed or wounded with these weapons (probably more by not);  semi-honest and honest cops, patriotic Mexican soldiers and Naval Infantry, men, women, and children shot down like dogs in the crossfire of, or in combat with, cartel thugs.
  But, Jorge Ramos, you stayed in with your fellow marxist. You sacrificed your feeble remaining credentials so as to back up a fellow hypocrite. And you are a liar, because, knowing the truth, you allowed someone to perpetrate a lie, on your time, on your theatre, and if you will, against "your people". What a pitiable lackey. Backing up Obama and Holder who were laughing up their sleeves about "getting away with" the killing of a bunch of people.   


    But, then again,  who cares?   What difference could it possibly make?    They were just Mexicans who could never really hope to live in Miami, like important people...important liars....important people who can be accessories before, during, and after the fact to multiple charges of murder, aggravated manslaughter, perjury....just for starters:  You, Jorge!  And Obama, Holder, much of the ranking ATF AND E and most the of Obsolete Press.

 

You want more, Jorge....try being a man...not a lapdog.

Shots fired from all sides - Quick commentaries - worth the read!!

______________________________________________________

 

(1)    One might notice that Downtown Mexico City is in an uproar with Occupy Wall Street-type nihilists, anarchists, and communists demonstrating with total ardour about the fate of 43 "students who went missing" near Iguala de la Independencia, Guerrero, Mexicoe.  As we pointed out before, the present administration had, has, and will have no blame in any of this.  The entire episode was contained within a viper-pit of very minor-league gang thugs, the aspirations of a marxist sow from the Partido de la Revolucion Democratic (PRD), and a troublesome marxist ''teachers' college" quite near Iquala.

     The entire issue is one totally within that political party and its allies.  The charging of Presidential Palace, and the presidency of Mexico for any of this is the intellectual equivalent of jumping up and down with a pogo-stick inside a domed  stadium  at night with the lights out.  It is pointless.

     In spite of the fact that domestic and foreign forensic experts have established what not even I wished to think happened, it is 99.999999% probably that the "students" who were taken out by the Guerreros Unidos (gang-lackeys of the first lady of Iguala who was preparing to declare her candidacy for the gobernatura of Guerrero the night of the incident), murdered, and then immolated totally into ashes.
     The reaction of the Left in Mexico to this matter is Pelosian at best.  Throughout the Left-Nation of Mexico these disorders have been foisted upon the 80 per cent who do not agree with the demonstrators, and who have tired of having to amend their routines, once again, to give berth to the dangers and irrationality and traffick blockage these deranged marxists and anarchist present.  It is, and smells exactly like, the Occupy Wall Street.

     This narrating voice from the funereal parlour understates matters a bit, and also, in typical CNN style, bends the information so as to leave open the possibility that there might be any involvement in this affair on the part of the President.  And remember, El Gringo Viejo, were he a Mexican, would not be a member of the political party of the President.

__________________________________________

(2)     Next, the ridiculous posturing by Barry Soetoro during last night's Jimmy Swaggart moment was enough to puke a buzzard off'n a gut wagon.  Wrong on so many legal and sociological points, at least it was filled with enough brazen lies to give hope to the people who have brought us the following:

                    (a)  Over 100,000 killed by illegal aliens from Mexico and elsewhere in the world since the passage of the last Amnesty in 1986.   DWIs, outright murder, felony manslaughter, and such crimes are associated with the above, understated figure.   The number of Mexicans killed by Americans, almost always living and/or staying long term in Mexico legally?  Fewer than 100, almost all involved in organised drug or human trafficking.
     The number of Americans living full or part time in Mexico? almost 1,000,000,  plus  over 7,000,000 American tourists per year?
      Barry brought us a deepening and widening of this infestation.  Turn-arounds at the border of detained aliens are not deportations.  They are usually same-day or next-day turn-arounds....being taken directly back to a bridge and supervised as they cross back into Mexico.

                   (b)   While always a real sticking point for us, especially in the border States, the issue has become increasingly worse, especially with the arrival of more Central Americans.  The murder, three days ago, of Miss Honduras and her sister by the boyfriend of Miss Honduras who became irate at the fact she was dancing with some guy at a party celebrating her departure to the Miss Universe pageant in London...speaks to the issue.  She was doing "photo-op" dances with a line of boys who wanted a four or five second shot of them with this girl...a very accomplished, somewhat prudish, and attractive girl.

     The violence here along the border, and in the larger cities where these people wind up, has increased two and three-fold in the last five years.  Barry brought us more of this.

                 (c)     While Barry Soetoro says that his proposals will not pertain to people who might not have been here five years ago, vice-president Biden just returned from a trip to Central America where he informed those in attendance that the United States is developing a programme to ferry children to their families in the United States via charter airliners.  This is so as to "....make the un-safe journey more safe for the children"....We just can't make this stuff up.   It was declared a gaffe, but a gaffe it was not.

       We are being set-up for another inundation of Centr0americanos, even to the point that there are rumours of embarcations into rural areas of Vera Cruz State where passengers on small boats will be let off near towns like Tecolutla and Boca de Oveja on the Gulf Coast, so as to avoid the increased immigration and military presence in southern Mexico. 

       We find this very unlikely, but it is the same stuff we heard last Spring before the horribly incorrectly reported stories about the human inundation that was fixing to swarm upon us.  Barry brought us this.

            (d)      If we draw a comparison of the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiatve (OSMI) to the Veterans' Administration debacle, then remember how the Obama government dumped off the illegal alien group from Central America, literally by the bus-load into small towns, out of sight and out of view (they thought).  It is more than enough to give pause about the effectiveness of any further immigration manoeuvres by this disgusting personality who poses as a president.   We still have no idea where thousands of the last batch wound up because fewer than 20% have reported for their immigration status hearings.  Barry brought us this.

(3)     Next, Barry the president repeats frequently, along with his sycophants that the ".....border has never had such a presence of 'boots-on-the-ground'". This lines us directly with the fact that he is not only a certifiable, chronic, pathological liar but also an ignoramus maximus.   One can easily point to the episode during the period from 1911 through around 1921 when massive deployments to the Brownsville - McAllen/Hidalgo/Mission - Rio Grande City  part of the frontier had as many as 110,000 National Guard and Regular Army infantry, mounted infantry, and mounted cavalry deployed.

miles north of Brownsville, Texas.   From 1903 until
1921 over 300 American soldiers were killed.

Brownsville, Texas in 1915.  This one deployment numbered
in excess of 12,000....essentially one division, mixed infantry,
cavalry, and artillery batteries.

    And we could go on with hundreds of interesting old pictures, even some that show McAllen and Hidalgo, Texas with a score-thousand of Indiana National Guard infantry units, plus units from the 1st Cavalry, RA camped all throughout what was to become downtown McAllen, Texas.   Several other battalion level cavalry and infantry units  from both the Regular Army and various State's National Guard units came through that area for almost four years.

    My own father served in the 1st Cavalry, 12th Regiment, Headquarter's Squadron from the late 1920s up to 1933.   There was still a very large, mounted  cavalry and considerable infantry presence all along the area from Brownsville to Laredo, Texas.

     So, Barry & Co.  please stop either lying or showing your ignorance about how ".....there has never been a greater deployment of boots-on-the-ground".  You do not know what boots mean, or ground means.  You know very little about much of anything, and understand much less.               _____________________________________________
