Rules of the Alinsky Game - Out in full force

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     Saul Alinsky is that wondrous bottomless pit of inspiration.  Just a bit of re-read, and we know exactly every step Barack Hussein Obama, the Obsolete Media, the Soros Zombies, and the Annenberg Foundation types are going to do.  The problem We,  as the undesirable Republicans, must recognise is that the Real Republicans do not wish to accept the predictability of Obama's actions based upon the Alinsky formula for "revolution".   Oddly, the Real Republicans practice a variation of the Alinsky formula in their own approach to governance and the political process.

The Fool Mirror - The Wholesale
Ship of Fools
1549 - Sebastian Brant's lament

Do not include Ted Cruz, Mike Lee
or Dr. Carson as those inscribed
upon the list of passengers.
 
 
    How is that, one might ask?  It is in the manner by which they choose to isolate and ridicule anyone who speaks the truth about the condition of the Republic and the processes that have mired it into the Autobahn of Perdition...and there seem to be no exits from that highway.   Ted Cruz, for instance, has nothing to do with the ridiculous  state of the finances of the Republic.  He has had nothing to do with it, and he bears no fault for it.  But, of course, he must be blamed for the present predicament, caused by Barack Hussein Obama, and he must be ridiculed for being stupid and ignorant.   It is such an odd characterisation 0f a person who is obviously both extremely intelligent and learned.
 
     The 17,000,000,000,000 USD debt has been accrued by pleasant idiots grinningly going along with deranged Keynesians,  Marxists, and Socialist Utopians in the quest to spend our entire passenger list on the Ship of Fools into bliss, comfort, and ecstasy.  The pleasant idiots are the RRR's, who are more commonly knows as the Reasonable Republican RINOs.  Their motto is, "We have to be reasonable here, and work for a compromise.   That way we shall all fall off the edge of the Earth six days later than that for  which the Democrats have us scheduled."
 
     Other pleasant idiots are "moderate" members of the electorate who say things like, "Both sides have a lot of the blame.  They should all get together and do what's best for the country."   Anyone who has ever said that, or any variation of such a statement, should be led away to the Soylent Research Institution for Hope and Change.  People who say such things are dully unaware that the Democrat cabal is totally dedicated to "fundamentally transforming" the nation into a "democratic socialist republic".  They are also blissfully unaware of what such a thing as a "democratic socialist republic" is.   The Democrat leadership knows what a "democratic socialist republic" is, but the pleasant lady having her pedicure at Maggie's Beauty Parlour and Cupcake Emporium does not deal in these matters.  Her "hope'' is that someone will "changes their minds" and "solve the problems" like she has to do.  She has to take her Social Security Check and decide if she is going to buy 200 USD of lottery tickets or take the overnight tour to Injun Joe's Barnacle Pirates Casino Den two hundred miles by charter bus over in the other State for 20 USD, and gamble 180 USD on the slots and lines.
     College students do better than this lady because they "just know" that Obama cares more about them than that stupid meany Fred Cruise. They know because it just a thing about all that stuff that everybody always knows all the time because my professor showed us how the thing is that everybody is getting the shaft because all the rich people aren't paying any taxes and the little people get stuck with it and all the racism and everything.
 
     There are many and sundry useful, pleasant idiots who smilingly, or even in serious tones, further the notion that a solution to the economic mess created by leftism, accommodation, and  compromise is to spend more money than last year on Head Start because it is the only and last first chance to make up for hundreds if not thousands of years of racism, marginalisation, and discrimination.  It makes no difference that the program shows no evidence of doing anything more than developing the participants' world view to include the notion that food comes from government, and that there is no need to provide for oneself any of the basic requirements for a happy, fulfilling life.
     Repeat the above paragraph by the formula Solyndra X subsidies X entitlements X bureaucracy X tax-tax X spend-spend X elect-elect and one finds the mathematical formulae from Hell.  One also finds the path to destruction of a Republic.  Any republic....any monarchy.  The socialist countries are mired in the muck anyway, so they receive a de facto inclusion.
 
 
    The Alinskyites are practitioners of another of the great communist negotiation practices.   It is simply and best described thusly:
 
           As we enter into these negotiations, the first rule shall be that what is yours is negotiable and what is ours is not.   It is a fair starting point.
 
     And if the OROGs will be so kind to note, the minions of Obama - Soros have made it clear that if the Republicans first give Obama everything he demands, he will then be willing to "listen" to the Republicans with reference to any of their petty, grovelling pleas for a crumb under some table in the servants' quarters.   That is what marxists call negotiation.   They also call "moderate, reasonable, Republicans".....useful idiots.
 
    Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and Dr. Carson are not extremists or stupid or mean-spirited.  They are truthful men who know and understand natural law.   Water flows downhill because of gravity.  People who are paid for not working become lazy, shiftless, and dangerous to themselves and others.  Business that produce for payment by subsidy rot from the inside.  Un-natural practices result, naturally, in horrid diseases. 
 
Fodder for thought as we trundle to the Gulag.

Asking "Who?" and asking "How?" Are you all kidding?

                                                                  
THE LATEST SCANDAL OOZES OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE:
 
 
     Pundits  and wise ones are asking one to the other, "How could something like this happen?"   They also ask the correlative, "Who was in charge of this, and why did he (or they) not intervene?"
 
 
     The notion that a given number of American uniformed personnel has been killed in action and there might be a breakdown concerning the funereal attentions along with the established remuneration pertaining to those fallen and their families is very improbable.   The entire matter is far too coincidental to be anything but a purposeful attempt, planned well in advance, to permit Obama to  announce to the people of the United States that the President is pained by the acts of the Republican extremists in the House of Representatives.   He regrets that by shutting down the government, the Republicans have left these heroes in a cold-locker in Kabul and their families stuck at home, without the funds to come and receive their departed and take them home for burial.
     It is the next act in a play that includes closing a War Memorial to the visitation by nonagenarians of a memorial that commemorates a War in which they fought over 70 years ago.
     And, while the War Memorial is closed, there is the simultaneous allowance of the use of the Mall by illegal aliens....and a big "Thank You!" shout out to Father Obamaham from Nancy Palooza....who nervously adds a bit of a note of appreciation that Father Obamaham has given his permission to "let" the Veterans visit the World War II Memorial as well.  The world already knew that the Veterans had forced their right of access on Obama, and Obama backed down, as do all bullies and cowards when confronted by those in the right. 
    These acts of and by Obama are of a lower form or class of human who would order the White House closed to visitations by tourists.....because of the "Republican Sequestration"....and then also blame his own Secret Service detail for the closure....as if that lower form of human life ( the president) would think we would believe that he does not order such actions.
 
     It is the nature of the beast.  It is the quest of the cabal of the Soros - Ayers - Chicago Mob - Valerie Jarrett "personalities" that we have chosen to our peril as our governors.   The White House is under the control of nihilistic sadistic marxists and criminal types who desire the Death of America. 
 
 


Looks like a real winner..
"Kill all the rich people!  Bring the revolution home!
Kill your parents!  When a pig gets iced,
 that's a good thing!"
One of the great, inspirational statements
from community organiser
friend of Barack Hussein
 Obama.
Ayers only regret about his murderous "revolutionary"
days is that he did not do more.  He walked on a
murder charge, via a legal technicality.
He is now a university professor
dedicated to turning America
red, and Israel dead.
Still.


     It would be well to consider that the administration decided to-day to cut back on Egyptian military aid.  This is a form of punishment because of the fact that the Egyptian Army deposed Obama's preferred head of government of Egypt....Mohammed Morsi....who also happens to be the head of the Muslim Brotherhood.   The Muslim Brotherhood is involved in a serpents' dance to the death that involves Al Qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas, and several score un-affiliated and semi-interrelated Muslim nut-case World - Caliphate loons.  With luck they will all kill each other before they kill all the remaining human population of the Earth.

The Last Word

One by one, even the sophisticated media is meandering off the reservation. First it was the Economist last March, daring to notice that the prophesies of doom weren't being fulfilled and that the data shows we are about to fall out of the 95 percent confidence level of the prediction from Settled Science.

Now it's Der Spiegel, the bien-pensant magazine of
mainstream German thought.

In the story, Der Spiegel looks at the unpredicted "pause" in global temperatures and investigates the internecine fight between researchers who want to acknowledge this empirical truth and those who do not. It concludes by asking:
The researchers' problem: Their climate models should have been able to predict the sudden flattening in the temperature curve. Offering explanations after the fact for why temperatures haven't increased in so long only serves to raise doubts as to how reliable the forecasts really are.

This is an astonishing reversal. Time was, the "climate change" movement was one of those unstoppable political forces which was going to remake American politics. Today, even the Europeans are beginning to have second thoughts.

It's yet another reminder that in politics, nothing is foreordained.

    One is moved to suggest that Der Spiegel should have said....."...Their climate models should have been able to predict the sudden flattening of the Earth."

      One of the main reasons this writer continues to be loyal to the notion that the Republic of Texas must shuck off its disguise as a sister State within the American Union and re-establish its independence as it did with Mexico in 1836 is because of these events of these past days.   The backdrop of it all is the looming disaster being brought on by the printing  of 85 billion dollars per month by the Federal Reserve in order to prop up a churlish poseur who cannot even act as if he is playing the role of a real live president.   And, consider that he has a supporting cast of ghouls, lackeys, thugs, and "journalists" that any real live tin-horn dictator would envy.

     Allow a very small point be made to prove a very large point.   The other day, down here on the frontier with Mexico, an apprehension was made by a local police officer in a small town near Brownsville.   The fellow who was detained and cuffed and hauled off was an illegal alien with an outstanding warrant and even a set of warrants out of Mexico.
    All Texas police officers, upon a stop to interrogate, request identification, by the way.  Illegal aliens are always detained and turned over to immigration officers who are associated with the central government's Department of Homeland Security.   This individual was dealt with in that manner.
    What is of interest is that Gary Holder, the pitiful, mendacious, corrupt, and useless Attorney General who befits an administration such as the Obama regime, files lawsuits against the State of Arizona and others to prohibit local police officers from detaining illegal aliens and/or even inquiring concerning the legal status of a detained person.
     But, as stated in the news of the day in the area of concern near Brownsville, it was pointed out that the officer detaining the illegal alien with warrants on two sides of the border was being subsidised by a central government funded program that re-enforces patrol efforts by local and State officers, accentuating the arrest and detention of illegal aliens.

     Yes, we know that it might even require a re-reading of the above.   That for which Holder sues one State, he subsidises another for essentially the same activity.   It is called grandstanding.  This particular contradiction is designed for the sake of the Obsolete Press to have an issue so as to endorse Obama and to confuse an electorate endowed with limited intellectual discernment.   It allows Obama and Holder to beat up on Arpaio in Phoenix, while buying votes of local politicians in Small Town, Wherever.

    This set of facts, coupled up with the debt, the deficit, the foreign policy and military lunacy, the unwillingness to adhere to Constitutional precepts that founded the United States of America, just keep reminding a fellow that  we probably are already beyond recovery as a viable American Union.   Texas, with all it peculiarities, is much more viable, even with the loons within our ranks.

It is all a heavy weight on the soul.

An appeal from the lost Western Regions, sent to El Zorro

While this is not our fight, in a larger sense, it is our fight.  The anti-firearm forces who want to create a disarmed Utopian society know that if they can crimp substantially the ownership and use of firearms in California, it will have a significant impact on the overall American market.   Fees, penalties, arbitrary interpretations, imprisonment, annual possession taxes, inheritance suspension, and the cascade of interference that totalitarians rely upon to harass the innocent.   The never-ending effort to turn America pink will never end.   That's probably why they call it "never-ending".    


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


CONTACT GOVERNOR BROWN TODAY!!
 
This year the California Legislature passed the most restrictive collection of anti-gun laws in decades ALL DESIGNED TO END GUN OWNERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA!!
 
Our last chance to stop these laws before having to spend millions to fight them in court for years is for Governor Brown to veto them. Governor Brown needs to be reminded that he has millions of constituents that are law-abiding gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters and that Californians do not support outrageous anti-gun and anti-hunting legislation, like those in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut or worse.
 
If we do not stop these bills NOW our children will never know the fundamental rights of self defense, hunting, self reliance and private ownership of firearms nor the freedoms this Country was founded on.
 
Below are the anti-gun/anti-hunting bills you need to call, fax AND e-mail and urge Governor Brown to VETO.
 
Governor Brown can be reached at:
Phone: (916) 445-2841
Fax: (916) 558-3160
 
SB374 - Bans the future sale or transfer of and classifies ALL semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine or holding more than ten rounds of ammunition as "assault weapons." Continued legal possession requires that you REGISTER and pay a FEE (TAX) on ALL your semi-autos newly classified as “assault weapons.”
 
AB711 - Makes California the first state to prohibit the use of all lead ammunition for hunting.
 
AB48 - Bans the sale of parts and repair kits capable of creating or converting a magazine to a capacity to hold greater than ten rounds.
 
AB169 - Limits the sale/transfer of all lawfully firearms that were never, or are no longer, on the California roster of approved handguns to two a year and redefines the technical provisions of single shot pistols.

SB567 - Redefines shotguns to include any long gun with a rifled bore or a smooth bore, regardless of whether it is designed to be fired from the shoulder and bans the sale of shotguns with the revised definitions that have a revolving cylinder, and requires registration of these currently owned shotguns.
 
SB683 - Expands California’s Handgun Safety Certificate requirement to apply to all firearms, and prohibits anyone from purchasing or transferring any firearm without a firearm safety certificate.
 
SB755 - Expands the list of persons prohibited from owning a firearm, including persons who have operated cars and boats while they are impaired commonly referred to as DUI.

    This was forwarded from California to El Zorro and then around the Republic of Texas through the network of happy subversives here. It might be resented by Governor Moon Beam should we dabble in his zone of prerogative, but....then again....who cares here?

So Many Windmills, So Few Magic Lances

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






     After being out on the edge of civilisation for several weeks, one becomes a bit jaded while observing the macabre and forlorn nature of the American political scene.   There are a panoply of "Central Issues" each bearing upon the birth of social and fiscal problems that will, most certainly, destroy the American Republic.   It steadily becomes more and more of a really, really bad horror movie.
 
     There is a debt owed by the federation which will soon be in excess of 17,000,000,000,000 American dollars.   That is the amount of 56,000 dollars from each man, woman, and child within the Republic.  Lamentably it also points to the other sad fact that only the productive will pay this freight.  One-half of the population is productive by this point, and one-half is consumptive. Therefore, each of my granddaughters, are presently scheduled to pay at this time 112,000 dollars.  And that amount will likely be increasingly steadily as they journey towards adulthood.
 
      Two of the many Windmills and Blackhole Monsters that have caused this morass are payments to the beggar class that is involved in mulitigenerational welfare dependency, and to the crony capitalist class that depends upon its close relationship to the members of what has been called a "parliament of whores".
 
      The establishment of the business / welfare industrial complex, with all the tiers of bureaucratic labyrinths is the mortar holding the bricks that build the walls that become Detroit.   Its  Draculine Sustenance depends upon the  money that the central government extorts by force from the productive.  That money is quickly burned in the digestive and reproductive tracts of the consumptive.
 
     These are truths that when violated by long-term profligacy on the part of the ruling class always result in the collapse of the nation involved.   It is required over the years to supply the increasingly indolent dependent class with more and more until finally it is impossible to accomplish their provision.   Then comes the slaughter, the repression, and the darkness of civilisation.  The Jungle wins.
 
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
 
     The Obama Administration's insistence upon forcing as much imposition and needless official meanness is the echo of disaster forecasted by the already forgotten scenes from "Sequester Disaster Movie"....George Bush remotely guiding airliners filled with minorities, Polar Bears, children into mid-air crashes, seniors keeling over from starvation, family pets going without reproductive rights from Planned Parenthood....we remember how that played out.
      But folks, let us now bluntly state the fact;  most participants in the activities of the American body politic are now either too ignorant, or too incapable of critical thinking skills, or too selfish to care or remember about the complex of lies produced by the Obama Administration at every critical climax and catastrophe and calamity it either causes or predicts.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
    We lament not moving more quickly on this, but Rush is on record at this hour (11:13 AM) in his exposure of  HHS Secretary Sibelius dumping out entire truckloads of bilge, mendacity, and rotting bloviation on John Stewart's comedy show.   El Gringo Viejo was going to give her the Gong Show Award of Lifetime Whatever last night....but he was simply too lazy and worn out from the drive up from our little place in the Mexican outback.
  
    Point being, this Sibelius woman has always been, and remains, a chronic, pathological liar as are all marxists.  It appears to be a requisite for employment in the Obama - Soros administration.   We remember forever her blurb about how she could not do a whole lot about the flooding going on in her State of Kansas since George Bush had sent her National Guard with all its heavy equipment and soldiers to fight in Iraq.   She was almost immediately contradicted by her own Adjutant General and commanding officer of the Kansas National Guard.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
     Instead of droning on uselessly, we shall draw this up with a comment about the shooting of that deranged woman in Washington, D.C.    The response was neither good nor heroic, but it certainly was a demonstration of the massive militarisation of what until recently was known as a civilian constabulary.   It seems a bit more than troubling.   And the response of the central government's park police agencies in the harassing of people "found on the grounds"  of Park facilities....closing access to private facilities indirectly associated with public parks....passing out tickets to runner / joggers at $100-a-clip fines....while then allowing a demonstration to set up on the National Mall, sponsored by the Council of La Raza, the SCIU - Soros labour union, the AFL - CIO,  and a general assembly of anarchist groups such as the Occupy Wall Street loons.   It seems that some people are subject to the "law" and others are not.
