Issue 3: Borders that… ain’t

This is an easy one. I’ve asked (and answered) the question before: What do you call a country that doesn’t enforce its own borders?

Conquered.

And here’s the kicker: our president and many–perhaps even a majority–congresscritters DO NOT WANT TO ENFORCE OUR BORDERS. The simple corrollary to that is that they want to surrender U.S. sovereignty, denounce U.S. territoriality. That is the universal effect throughout history of nations that do not enforce their own borders: they cease to exist as sovereign nations.

History will record–likely in Spanish, if he has his way–how Fifi Bush, Felipe Calderon’s lapdog, enforced his policy of erasing America’s borders and surrendering American sovereignty by his open antipathy to those who are tasked by law with defending our borders actually doing their job..

The very fact that this administration and what appears to be close to (or an actual) majority of congresscritters are determined to reward outlaws and punish law-abiding folk (that’s what amnesty for 12-20 million illegals by any name is: classic anarcho-tyranny) is enough to steam the shorts of any decent person.

What to do? Well, for a start, don’t stop pressuring the White House and your congresscritters with phone calls, faxes, emails and letters, just because the senate shamnesty bill was (temporarily!) derailed. The traitors won’t give up so easily, so you should continue to stir up as much antipathy to their shameful behavior as possble and make it clear to them all that you will hold every single one accountable.

Put THIS LINK on your SpeedDial (if you use a real browser) or put it on your desktop. All the addresses, email addys, phone and fax numbers for the administration and your congresscritters are there. And there’s also a facility enabling you to send FREE faxes to your congresscritters, as well. Heck, sign up for their regular emailouts, too.


Issue 2: An arrogant political elite

I feel almost as though this were a completely unnecessary post. Do I really need to post a short catalog of the behaviors of national politicians *spit* to illustrate the point that, once elected, most politicians *spit* are completely unconcerned with what the “little people” who elected them really think? (And why should they be concerned? After all, over half the population is as dumb as a bag of hammers. It’s how those same politicians *spit* got elected to begin with!)

Heck, I don’t even need to catalog the arrogance of national politicians *spit* at all: most of you can single out a smarmy local politician (school board member, alderman, sheriff, etc.) who has as much interest in keeping campaign promises as apparently most “law enforcement” officers have in obeying traffic laws themselves; that is, slim to none.

That “we the people” only rarely rise up and throw a royal hissy fit (as was done recently concerning the lies, damned lies and political propaganda from politicians *spit*, MAss Media Podpeople and other traitors with the Senate *spit* shamnesty bill) about the arrogance and disrespect for law, honesty, decency and duty shown by politicians *spit* on a daily basis is a mortal wound in the back of our once Republic. That “we the people” have the attention span of a swarm of gnats and promptly subside and allow business as usual by politicians *spit* as soon as one of the extremely rare, righteous hissy fits have passed is the meat and potatoes of politicians’ *spit* job security plans.

I used to have an almost perfectly correct statement as a header quote on this blog (one word kept it from being as close to perfect as a statement about our political process as one could find):

“The purpose of government is to hire and employ government workers, to collect money from the citizens and spend it; and the goal of politicians is to stay in office and avoid having to go back to work.”—Jerry Pournelle

The only thing at all wrong with that comment is the word “back”. Find me a handful of congresscritters who have ever done a lick of honest work in their lives to go back to, and you’ll have made Diogenes look like a piker.

The solution? You won’t like it, because it’ll require becoming a real pain in the neck to darned near every person you meet, have met or can in any way influence (and frankly, most will end up having a lower *cough* opinion of you). Without ceasing, attempt to persuade every person you know to throw the bums out. All of them. Any congresscritter, state representative, mayor, alderman, school board member or city councilman who’s been a politician *spit* for more than two terms of any office is irreparably compromised. Most of them were venal, incompetent, power-hungry, worthless specimens of humanity to begin with (it’s why easily more than half of politicians *spit* seek public office), and the rest have almost all achieved the nadir of venality, incompetence, etc., by their second term. (Do note: there are some who resist corruption of character a bit more vigorously than others, and some–fewer still–who do not seek public office for base reasons. I do applaud those rare, rare individuals who wade into the swamp of contemporary politics with good intentions, but I do wonder why those with good character allow themselves to be so quickly corrupted that they will refer to the snakes they are surrounded by as “my esteemed colleague” instead of “the spawn of Satan”… )

No, your fellow citizens (or “subjects” as politicians *spit* think of them in their heart of hearts) are mostly enstupiated to the point that most will not appreciate having it brought to their attention that they have elected worthless bags of pus to public office.

But someone has to point out that the “emperor” not only has no clothes on, but that “his” fat, hairy, pimpled @** is crushing the life out of the Republic.

Issue 1: Enstupiated Americans

N.B.–Yes, I know there is a remnant, a small population of persons in this country who are at least moderately literate, and that there are many teachers who are simply prevented–by many factors–from teaching, but nevertheless…

A confluence of factors have led to a simple fact: as a class, Americans are stupid. Sure, there are exceptions, indeed many, otherwise this country would already have been flushed down history’s toilet. But as proof of my contention that at least a majority of Americans are stupid, simply look at who we’ve elected to Congress. That alone proves the case. We need not even look at the numerous surveys, from the 1980s and 1990s NALS to the more recent NAAL which reveal in the data (if not always in the highly “spin-factored” presentation of the data) that functional literacy, let alone real literacy, is fading fast in the U.S. Or the survey often cited here that indicates that around 70% of recent college graduates can’t read. And although no moderately literate person (such as myself or readers of this blog) doubts that historical illiteracy is just as rampant as functional illiteracy (could there be a link there, somewhere? *heh*) and that geographical illiteracy, mathematical illiteracy and all the host of other things supposedly taught in public schools (AKA “Prisons for Kids”) are vast regions of darkness in the minds of the electorate. What is this “confluence of factors” that have led to such a pass, and what can possibly be done about it?

But first, an admission: I cannot in any way address all the factors leading to the demise of learning in these (dis)United States in a blogpost. I’ll mention some major factors and their antidotes; that’s about it.

Some Major Factors:

Enstupiated, slothful, “dumb as a bag of hammers” parents who have ceded all responsibility for their children’s learning to “education” professionals. And not just ceded responsibility, do everything within their enstupiated power to make the situation worse. Fail little Johnny for not learning his ABC’s? Hold little Mary back for not learning simple addition? Why, the sky will fall, the sun go dim before average American Jane and John Doe will let poor lil Mary and Johnny have their po’ widdle feewings hurt like that! Besides, didn’t they excel at soccer, gymnastics, fingerpainting, “cooperative activities” etc.?

One reason that schools run by the GSA on military bases generally have students who actually, well, learn stuff is that the parents of “military brats” can be held accountable for their children’s school accomplishments and failures. (“Can”–not always “are”)

Remote educrats and their local minions: pubschool administrators. When the “feddle gummint” judiciary began mandating remote management of local schools (and legislatures, parents and pubschools meekly submitted) and attendant remote funding, the whole thing rapidly went to hell in a handbasket.

The first move we must make is to abolish the Department of Education, root and branch; fire them all and close down their programs. The few laws that make sense, like extra funding for “impacted” areas where local schools are responsible for educating federal employees and military dependents, can be taken over by General Services.

We should then work to abolish the Supreme Court’s legislation — it was not a judicial decision — removing local taxation as the main means of funding schools. That usurpation — there is no other word — by the Court, imposing a requirement on the states and not even Congress could have imposed — delivered control of the schools to bureaucrats far away, and turned most of the schools into prisons more concerned with maintaining attendance than doing their jobs. I know there are still some good schools. There are fewer all the time.

(Preach on, Jerry… *sigh*)

Sure, there are many other factors, including schools of “education” *spit*, disinformation by Mass Media Podpeople, politicians *spit* (and who, pray tell elects these worms? Eh?), and more, but the elephant in the drawing room is that no one seems willing to admit in public–or even more, commit to policy admitting in public–that the fundamental idea of an equality of public education is stupid, destructive and plain flat wrong.

And why is it impossible to get that simple idea across? Because of the stupid, destructive and plain flat wrong politically correct idea that everyone needs and can profit from an education that points toward college attendance (I refuse to say “a college education”). Face it: we do NOT live in Lake Wobegon where all children are above average. The Bell Curve is a real phenomenon, and half of the children are on the left side of the thing.

Used to was, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, people knew this. Not only knew it but lived their lives in an unconscious expression of this fact. Now, every little dummy must be made to feel as though they are geniuses. *Pfui*

Jensen’s original studies were intended to identify children who needed “training” as opposed to “education”. He did not start off trying to identify racial IQ characteristics. The problem is that if you use IQ tests, you WILL have more blacks in the “train rather than educate” track, and since this is unacceptable, the alternative is to attempt to educate everyone. As Frederick the Great observed, he who defends everything defends nothing. We may also observe that those who try to educate everyone generally educate no one.

Tracking and IQ have been outlawed in these United States. The result is that no child can get ahead; and of course that is the real meaning of No Child Left Behind. —op cit. 🙂

The first thing that needs doing: American parents need to be faced with some cold, hard facts: You are not as smart and well-educated as the education establishment, Mass Media Podpeople and politicians *spit* disingenuously portray you. And your little Jonny or Mary ain’t as smart as you’ve been led to believe (do note: they may be smarter, but you’d never know the truth from your local pubschools). And no matter how dumb you are/are not or how “intellectually challenged” little Johnny or Mary may or may not be, they are daily being made dumber by being subjected to our modern diseducation system, because you–the parents–aren’t getting mad as hell and “storming the Bastille” of pubschools…

After you–the parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and concerned citizens– do get mad as hell, get busy as beavers tearing down the unholy alliance of remote educrats, schools of education, politicians *spit* and… slothful, stupid parents that is generating an ever more enstupiated citizenry.

Issues Unanswered

Four issues, yea and five, do plague this ailing Republic:

1.) An ever more (deliberately and willfully) enstupiated electorate.

2.) An arrogant political elite.

3.) Borders that… ain’t.

4.) Apologists and outright proponents for barbarian savages (AKA, Muslims, Rap “artists” *spit*, Mass Media Podpeople, Academia Nut Fruitcakes, the American Commnunist Licentious Union and politicians of all stripes across a nonexistant “aisle”).

5.) A decaying moral fiber, especially in America’s so-called “Christian” churches *sigh*.

Lord willin’ and the crick don’t rise, expect a very brief essay on each of these in upcoming days.

Pieces of Eight

Blogsis Kat tagged me with a blogosphere meme pool tag game, “Eight Things About… Me” or some such. Here are the rules, right from the Kat’s meow:

The Rules are: Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed.At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Well, since it’s Kat, I’ll play along. 🙂 If you read her post (DO read it!), you may notice a similarity between her first four “things about me” and mine. No, I didn’t JUST steal her first four and paste ’em here just to get this over with. Her first four things about Kat are just too darned close to things about me to NOT list ’em. Still, she says it so well…

1. I hate typos and misspelled words. When I catch them in a post, or in a comment I just submitted, I cringe in embarrassment, and try to fix it ASAP. Chronic peeves: breath vs. breathe; taut vs. taunt; to, too, and two; and its vs. it’s.

Yeh, well me too. Of course, that doesn’t keep me from excelling in typos, misspelled words and grammar oopsies. Sometimes the voices in my head are all talking at once and my fingers get confused… (That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.)

2. I don’t usually like help in the kitchen unless it’s for cleaning up; I have a very particular way I want things done, and usually I get too much into the assumption that I’m the only one who knows how to do it properly.

OK, clarification: I AM the only one who knows how to do “it” properly… *heh* I have my system, my preferred workflow and method of cooking. I also like things put away where I can put my hand on ’em w/o having to look for a tool. When I’m cooking, I want to do things my way, RIGHT NOW, no dodging another cook, no looking for where someone put THAT particular spatula, etc. But cleaning up? Gimme help! (Just put things away in their proper place!)

3. I love to cook…

Well, Kat has a longer expression that diverges from my “thing” a tad. I love to cook; love to cook experimentally. Some dramatic successes d0o result, but also some hilarious failures (Do NOT try to cook tuna enchiladas. Just sayin’… )

4. I can be extremely obstinate; when my mind’s made up, ain’t nobody gonna change my mind…

Here we diverge a bit more. I am NOT “obstinate” but stubborn, muleheaded, adamantine. Anyone who wants to change my thinking on a matter had better marshall their FACTS, make clear, concise, detailed arguments that address the issue, and avoid arguments from emotion or fallacies of logic. Even then, changing my mind will be a difficult task for folks because… I’ll marshall facts, make arguments in rebuttal, etc. Since so few folks will play by the rules of fair argumentation, I rarely feel the need to exercise myself much in rebuttal of their “arguments”.

And departing a tad from Kat’s list, now, as an example of my sometimes irascible nature,

5. When dealing with obstreperous students, I sometimnes offered, “I’m mean and I’m ugly and I have bad breath; and I’m not afraid to prove it to you. Want to try me?” (They rarely did. *heh* Kid walks into first class: “Andre, here’s your pass to the principal’s office.” “But I haven’t done anything!” “You were going to. Goodbye.”)

6. I still have 10 fingers and 10 toes (and–mirabile dictu!–most of my hearing and even some of my sanity) in spite of having taught seventh graders during one dark, dark period of my life.

7. Of all my degrees, I find my PhDBS to be the most helpful in my daily life. (Yes, an honorary doctorate in “bovine scatology”)

8. Call me “Handy”. If it’s broken (whatever “it” is), there’s at least an 80% chance I can fix it. If I can’t fix “it” (whatever “it” is), there’s a very good chance I can make a better one from scratch or from junk n bits n pieces I have laying around.

There, with a little ripping off of Kat’s post, that’s eight pieces of me.

Who to tag? Two with one tag: Diane and Mel! Beth, Angel, Maggie, Lisa, Curt, Adam and one to grow on, TRY (Well, since DIane and Mel might just count as one, that gives me the chance to invite My Favorite Yak to play. :-)).

Declaration of Independence

[Adopted in Congress 4 July 1776]

On this anniversary of the adoption of this most American of documents, let me urge you to read the whole thing and, as I have encouraged folks to do for years now, think on those things that were cause for its adoption. Today, we have congresscritters and a president who are as adamantly opposed to fulfilling their duties to the citizens they have pledged to serve as the colonists found their king to be opposed to fulfilling his duties toward his American subjects. (Do note, the colonists were in a long line of English citizenry who had taken kings to task for abuses of aristocratic power–The Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 is but one of many such confrontations with British royalty.)

I do not make this assertion lightly. Read the text, especially the development of the foundations of the claims the document makes as it lists the “long train of abuses” at the hands of the colonists’ ruler. Our “rulers” (for it is just so that the federal government more and more behaves–as our ruler, not our servant) have become more and more abusive toward those to whom they are supposed to serve, more and more dictatorial, more and more arrogant and demanding, ever more the sponsor of anarcho-tyrrany–punishing citizens who want to be law-abiding and rewarding outlaws and scoundrels.

Read the Declaration and think on it.


The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing taxes on us without our consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levey war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.


Any readers who cannot think of contemporary analogues to many of the offenses listed in the “long train of abuses” feel free to email me or ask in comments for mention of a few to kickstart your thought process, eh? 🙂

Fifi Bush Commutes Scooter’s Sentence… sorta.

But no pardon?

Let’s see now… Sandy Berger WAS guilty of a REAL crime–wittingly stealing and destroying government documents pertinent to an ongoing Congressional investigation–and got a baby slap on the wrist. Scooter Libby is convicted of a non-crime (recalling circumstances differenty to the way a couple of Mass Media Podpeople “remember”–read”Known liars make up story to cover their a__ses”–in a “case” investigating something that was never a crime anyway!) and is socked with a $250,000 fine and real jail time. Ramos and Compean were convicted of another fake crime by a feddle persecutor tasked with enforcing President Fifi Bush’s (Fifi Bush: President Felipe Calderon’s Lapdog) treasonous policy of preventing the enforcement of our borders, and the list goes on and on and on: outlaws and brigands and traitors and thieves rewarded while good folks doing their jobs and trying to be law-abiding citizens are persecuted. It’s classic anarcho-tyranny.

Scooter’s left with no law license, a $250,000 fine and his life in shambles. For recalling something differently to how others recall the event (each of whom recalled it differently from each other, as well–so why aren’t they in trouble?) in the investigation of something that was never a crime to begin with!

Bush long since should have pardoned Ramos and Compean (and placed their feddle persecutor in prison for abuse of power) AND Scooter Libby. Heck, Martha Stewart should have been pardoned and the feddle persecutors (who elicited perjored testimony in order to gain her conviction, if the subsequent indictment for perjury of the chief witness against her is any indication) should have been tarred, feathered and run off the planet.

I have no use for this administration any more. And nearly as little desire to see the congresscritters now populating Congress continue to pollute the air…

I am not here…

I am not here,
This is not me
No matter what you think you see;
I am not here,
This is not me.
