Here's to you, Neil Armstrong....


To-morrow morning, very early, around 04:00 hours, this will be the scene when the Blue Moon begins to set on the Sierra Madres Orientales to the west of our little mud hut.

The first one is the Marcels and the second one is the man from Hobokin, New Jersey.   It is really noteworthy that Richard Rogers wrote this song....in 1934.   Can we imagine?
Thanks for your time.

Yes, Rush, O'bama has stories of people he helped

     Rush Limbaugh always fails to consult with El Gringo Viejo.   He declared,"Obama hasn't gone around helping people.   Has he?   No!  You can't point out anybody he's helped, can you?"
 
     Yes, Rush.   O'bama has helped other people who were disadvantaged.   People right here in this hell-hole called America.

 booking photo provided Aug. 30, 2011 by the Framingham Police Department shows Onyango Obama, arrested in Framingham, Mass., for several infractions, including operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He is the uncle of President Barack Obama.
By JOE GUZZARDI
CAGLE CARTOONS NEWS SYNDICATE

This is a cautionary tale about three of President Obama's family members—the president, his uncle Omar Onyango and his Aunt Zeituni Onyango. To follow the story completely, readers should be current on President Obama's administrative amnesty which he sprung on an unsuspecting and incredulous public just before he departed for Martha's Vineyard.
Obama and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano define his new policy, now in effect, as an ICE evaluation of 300,000 cases involving aliens in deportation proceedings to determine whether they are hardened criminals and therefore a risk to public safety or "low priority" offenders. The latter are released.
At a speech she delivered at the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and the University of Arkansas' Clinton School of Public Service, Napolitano brazenly summarized the revised immigration guidelines as "common sense" and ones wherein "nobody is getting a free pass."
Actually, the policy is idiotic, hurtful and defies Obama's sworn Constitutional obligation to uphold the nation's laws.
Furthermore, for Obama to release illegal aliens just weeks before 9/11's tenth anniversary is a callous display of indifference to the victims' families. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 12 of 48 terrorists involved in the plotting and carrying out of the murderous attacks were illegal aliens. Because of the discreet profile they maintained during the days leading up to 9/11, using the current Obama-Napolitano standards they would have been described as "low priority".
Ditto for Auntie Zeituni. While Zeituni didn't pose a criminal threat, she fraudulently tapped into a social services pool that drained scarce public resources.
First ordered deported in 2004 after overstaying a visa issued in 2000, Zeituni lived in public housing, supposedly available only to citizens and collected $700 in monthly disability checks. But an unidentified benefactor interceded and hired famous immigration lawyer Margaret Wong to represent Zeituni in her efforts to remain. The unsurprising result—a Boston federal judge stayed Zeituni's deportation order. In 2010, Zeituni was granted political asylum and is now a legal U.S. resident.
Only the most optimistic expect a different result from Uncle Omar's case. Like his sister, Omar ignored a previously issued federal deportation order and has been living in the country illegally for several years. Wong will represent Omar.
But getting Omar off may be tough. On August 24 Omar, who had an outstanding warrant, was arrested on for driving his SUV through a stop sign and barely missing a police cruiser. Omar's sobriety test indicated a 0.14 level, nearly twice the maximum. The police charged Omar with driving under the influence, driving to endanger and failing to use his turn signal. Because of his immigration violations, ICE detained Omar.
Under the new immigration rules, into what category will Omar fall: hardened or low priority? Don't forget that the ICE language includes allowances for protecting aliens "with family ties".
Most would argue that Omar, an illegal immigrant, should be deported immediately. While he's not a convicted axe murderer, Omar is a hazard behind the wheel that may kill someone with his car.
Obama, with his eyes on the polls, can be sure the nation will be watching his uncle's case. If Omar is still hanging around in November 2012, there's a good chance Obama may be gone by January 2013.

III.
     As of yet President Obama has not helped his brother George.   Others have, but Barry has not.   George lives on th4e edge of Nairobi, Kenya.   In a 180 square foot "squatter's cabin".

Just a hint, Rush.

El Gringo Viejo's Favourite Clint Eastwood Movie

     Since everyone is asking, El Gringo Viejo's favourite Clint Eastwood work, besides Rowdy Yates during the Rawhide days, is "Bronco Billy"....It is a farce, a comedy, an allegorical treatise, and a big slice of Americana.   As comedies go, it is a serious peice of work, not a lot of pie in the face.   We recommend it as a justifiable waste of time.  Cliq below for YouTube trailer.    Mr. Faver sent me this picture from Faver Ranch in Presidio County, Texas.   In fact, Presidio  County is almost all Faver Ranch.   He and Rowdy worked together one time, but Rowdy went to California after the last big drive up the Chisholm Trail.

Anglican Curmudgeon Alert

A simple admonition.  The Anglican Curmudgeon has jumped into some of Chesterton's analytics from the 1930s....and while telling us to turn our eyes for a moment from to-day's putrid presidency and the fallout therefrom....slyly shows us that we are truly doomed to repeat history because we know it not.   It is his current article, Signs and Portents, now open to the public.   The drinking light is lit.

An Apology Just Won't Do!

ABC News reached out to Breitbart News to name the man heard mocking the Romneys during this ABC News livecast: David Chalian (pictured) of Yahoo! News. Chalian is a former political director with ABC News, but according to ABC News has no association with the network now. The headline has been changed to reflect this update, as has the story itself.    Even this apology is an afront. It is a limp-wristed attempt to dust up a little cover by saying that David Chalian, formerly of Yahoo! News has no association with ABC News now. Such word crafting is typical of marxists. It is like when Lanny Davis told reporters that "....The President did not have sexual relations with Mrs. Broaddrick...in 1979...", knowing full well that Mrs. Broaddreick was not Mrs. Broaddrick in 1979...she was married to a man with a different surname....and, as stated, Lanny was assuring the press corps that President Carter had not consummated the "lust in his heart" that he occasionally felt. That Billy Jeff Blythe brutally raped a woman who was the same person as the person who became Mrs. Broddicky was a matter that Lanny did not address. He was being a legal mechanic and a smart aleck jackass. The leftist press lackeys, then as now, did not call him on his word game and reported the matter as "case closed".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
       It is true that when this apology was published, the statement, "David Chalian is a former political director with ABC News, but according to ABC News has no9 association with the network now. The reason he has no association with ABC News "now" is because they fired him two hours ago. He is probably on a bit of a vacation before reporting for duty at Google Events Director, as liaison to Obama's campaign. He would do well as Outreach Coordinator for Atheist Jews who Hate Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism.    Chalian's error was in talking in a production room without being sure that all the mikes were dead. One was live and caught him saying that the Romneys are “happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Chalian’s comment, a reference to the tropical storm battering Louisiana, was made during a webcast at the Republican convention that is part of a partnership between Yahoo and ABC News. On Tuesday, Chalian and ABC’s Jonathan Karl jointly interviewed members of the Romney brain trust.Pardon the ploughing of ploughed ground, but the marxist press people have said lies so much that they begin to believe themselves. It is like "America lost the war in Viet Nam". Anything that was lost in that war was lost by the Socialist Democrat Congress and their allies in the European leftist press, and their allies in Hanoi.They harp continuously that we on the Right are racists, when in fact it is they who have the low expectations for people "who don't look like them", and it is they who assume that "people who don't look like them" are incapable of taking care of themselves.     And now once again, they believe that white Republicans people probably tried to kill all the black people in New Orleans so as to make sure Louisiana's electoral college votes would be safe for Republicans for at least two election cycles. They believe the rantings of racist madmen like Spike Lee and Louis Farakhan and Jeremiah Wright because it makes them feel superior and "understanding" of the roots of "black rage".
The problem, however, is that what happened in New Orleans had little to do with FEMA or George Bush. It had to do with the fact that the head of government in New Orleans was a hypocrytical black man named Nagin, the mayor. He ran off to his home when it looked like things would be serious but not too bad....he thought he had ought to be with his family. Mayor Nagin just happened to live in a substantially white, upper-income part of Dallas, Texas at the time. Yes, Mayor Nagin was in Dallas, Texas shortly before and two weeks after the event. He had bought the home in 2005....and has had trouble remembering to pay his homeowner's dues to the neighbourhood committee.                                                                                                 
And while that was going on and the Adjutant from the National Guard was asking for orders from his commander in chief, she was busy trying to throw together outfits for the coming pressers....outfits that "....wouldn't make my butt look too big." She needed a bigger brain and a soul and a sense of self that would have been smaller than the problems other people were having. THE ISSUES OF KATRINA, A RELATIVELY MINOR STORM, DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF SLOTH ON THE PART OF THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR FOR FAILURE TO ACT....FOR FAILURE TO CALL FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN A TIMELY , LEGALLY REQUIRED WAY....AND THEY DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF THE BREAKDOWN OF A BADLY MAINTAINED, TOTALLY CORRUPTLY ADMINISTERED, SYSTEM OF LEVEES, GATES, PUMPS, AND DRAINS THAT HAD NO OPERATORS. FURTHER COMPLICATIONS OCCURRED WHEN THE POLICE, FIRE, PARISH, CITY, AND SCHOOL (as in bus drivers and other support personnel) INSTITUTIONS WERE ABANDONED BY THEIR MEMBERS, to between a 65 to 90 percent level....across the board. In America's federal system, locales and States must request central government intervention. Neither Mayor Nagin nor Governor Blanco deigned to perform even this simple task....send a fax....use the special White House line that all Governor's have....nothing was done. It was Mayor Nagin who went and hid and it was Governor Blanco who worried about more important things while New Orleans sunk below the muck. AMTRAK had eleven special trains in the middle of the city that finally had to be moved out....without any refugee/passengers.....free transport. The worst thing that George Bush did was to allow the worthless FEMA piece of useless government largesse to pass out cash and 500 dollar ...even 1,000 dollar FEMA charge cards to the people in the temporary refugee facilities in Houston and other places. The people who were taken to Houston were....in their huge majority (there were noteworthy exceptions)....among the laziest, dirtiest, meanest, most violent, demanding, menacing, impositive creatures who were ever catered to 110% by the Salvation Army, Red Cross, and the hopelessly useless FEMA dregs.                                                                   

Civilised white and black people in Texas bent over backward and worked hand and foot to recieve and make comfortable      the people who were forced out of their situation in New Orleans. As with the lepers, the over, over, overwhelming majority  resented that the Texans did not do more for them. Tales of slobby women going into a beauty parlour for the "works" and      throwing down a couple of dollars...saying ...'You gotta take what I give you, an' I don't havta give you nothin' if I don't          want to." are so commonplace that they are really not worth repeating. If repeated, it would be common for some person to say, "Yes, I know. I'm the morning clerk at the 7 - 11 over on Elm Street. They just sent in children who would grab bag and cans and bottles of any and everything, and then run out of the store shouting "Katrina victim, Katrina victim....and if we said anything, we would be dressed down with profanity and obscene gestures or with several rough looking men coming in, grabbing more stuff, and glowering at us".                                                                                                                                                                 
    So, do not talk about the Romneys or the Bushes , they have no fault in this. The fault lies in posturing Democrats who want to keep the shelf stocked with a dependent class whose existence can always be blamed upon the neglect by the rich Republicans....who do nothing for the poor. This is especially sad when. in fact, it is the rich and the not so rich who actually pay twice to help the poor, and it is the Democrats and liberals who take money from the rich and not so rich and give it to the professionally poor so as to ensure that those same people will remain dependent and perpetually mired in their poverty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
More later.  Thanks for your time and patience, as always.

If Barry Crosses the Finish Line First

     Baroness Susan Kramer, a member of Clegg’s party in the House of Lords, said that a wealth tax could be more effective than an income tax, and that the wealthy won’t move away.    "You have to be part of the society in which you live,” she told the Guardian. “"If we're going to be a coherent society, and that is absolutely fundamental to our success and our prosperity, everyone has to carry a share of it."

     One can read, re-read, and then read it again.   The illogic...the pointlessness....the counterproductivity...the arrogance....and it is the new world-wide movement among the marxist lunatics who are allowed to wander around without their nurses and minders.   Wealth Tax...Saints preserve us.
      We understand her concern about the wealthy not paying their fair share.    So we would propose to just get it all over with right now, once and for all.  Without their wealth they are pretty much useless.   Let us simply take all their goods, possessions, money, collections, and properties of any kind.   Disinter their dead and sell the cemetery space to someone who is more deserving.   The wealthy should, for the sake of efficiency, just be fed to the sharks or eliminated in some reasonably humane way....so long as it costs neither naught nor nary.  
      Then, all of their assets could be sold in order to pay for the programs to feed the children of the four wives the muslim men are allowed to have since the Brits decided to permit muslim men in the United Kingdom to run their private lives by Sharia law.
Snodley shows off his NHS official
toothcare system.   He chose
the red handle ones!
 
 
     Then the good Baroness can pay for the dental work to put the entire what-used-to-be-a-kingdom into such a position that the people could actually eat something besides kidney pudding and warm beer.   And even smile, in public, without frightening the children.  Go Manchester United!!
 
 
     This movement is not a joke.   El Gringo Viejo recently wrote about the woes of Madame Viuda de Kirchner, the Supreme Ruler of Argentina, who was heralded as the Greatest Thing since sliced pate de foie gras,  all the way into the 1oth month of her reign.   She began her sudden thud to the bottom of the elevator shaft after proposing things like the "nationalisation" of privately held pensions and annuity policies.    She considered such financial instruments to be idle money that was needed to feed the children, and the elderly, and to build monuments to her husband, and to her.   After all she needs to be remembered for building monuments.   Like Hillary, we must think of all the good she has done for..... for..... well, whatever.
     The Red Chinese thugs who are on their way to flooding the galaxy with junk that breaks on the first use, are also having problems with the rise of their ''princeling classe".   These are the children of the ranking thugs who pick up leads and angles from the Peoples' Liberation Army concerning business opportunities.    The princelings and other corrupt thugs who have managed to escape execution are now being eyed as financial and fiscal "organ donors''.    Rumours and scuttlebutt suggest that the little gnomes in Mao suits who sit around somewhere and decide where the next Great Leap Forward should land, have decided that 90% of these peoples' wealth should be "taxed"  (read: confiscated).


Red Chinese rapid rail "situation".   Train was to be
 named Peking Flyer, but factory forgot wings
 
     Actually, once again a tip of the hat to efficiency, this is only reasonable.   The marxist axiom comes into play, that all wealth was not earned by the wealthy....they do not really make, do, or cause anything.   All wealth actually comes from the exploitation of the proletariat, the poor, and the government.    So, the Red Chinese government is going to take away the wealth of the monsters that the government itself gave to the monsters in the first place.   What the government gives it can also take away.   So there we have it!   Liberation Theology on steroids.   What the Lord hath given, so shall the Lord also taketh away.
     The princelings now are moving out of Red China.   They are trying to find safe harbour even in places like Mexico, Canada, the United States, Singapore, Indonesia, and other such places that have an in-place ethnic Chinese community.

     The President of France and the French Socialist Party has proposed a tax rate of 75% on high wage earners and are studying a wealth tax on people with estates and assets that total more than 1,000,000 Euros.    Wealthy and titled Frenchmen...those whose ancestors avoided the guillotine from another wave of social democratic hysteria....immediately began looking for the exit and preparing their Lear Jets and yachts for new berthing.

     When Barry Soetoro was talking with the Russian thug temporary president and saying," You can tell Mr. Putin that after the election I'll have more latitude to do the things I want to do"....the OROG can be certain that one of those things in the offing for all Gringos of any race, colour, creed, or code  who have any stored wealth in excess of what is "necessary" will be a "wealth tax", along with an agreement to strip Eastern Europe of basic missile defense systems and other impediments to Bears coming out of the east. 

     Almost every totally bankrupt socialist country in the world is studying "the wealth tax" alternative as a possible cure to what ails the insatiable marxist appetite for other peoples' money.

     Voting counts, even if the choice is not perfect, the alternative is a road that leads to re-education camps, gulags, guillotines, firing squads, 30 year prison sentences for writing a poem about "When Cuba Was Beautiful", concentration camps...complete with showers, mass graves in Georgia, killing fields in Cambodia.
      To give folks an idea about how far downhill we can slide very quickly....should Barry Soetoro be returned to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.....Mexico has no inheritance tax...no Death Tax.    Barry wants to increase the American Death Tax.    As does the Barroness, Barry wants the wealthy to pay their fair share.....and he might even fit them with a ball and chain, so as to make leaving the country a bit more cumbersome.

Thanks for your patience.  More later.
