“America’s future has been intellectually housebroken”

Worth a read. And perhaps a re-read. Over at The Weekly Standard, David Gelernter takes a few hundred words to consider at least a part of the Obama phenomenon in, “Obama in Leftland”.

Members of the CR [Cultural Revolution] generation who had mainstream, establishment educations have been trained like pet poodles to understand where romping is allowed and where it is forbidden. The permissible range of thought on such topics as protected minorities, protected species, protected psychosexual deviations, et al. is clearly spelled out from kindergarten onward. Young teachers in the 1970s proudly acknowledged their political biases: They were the New Left in action, on a long march through the institutions. But many of today’s young teachers-in consequence of the long march’s brilliant success-don’t even realize that they are left-wing ideologues. As far as they know, their ideas are innocuous and mainstream-just like the New York Times!

And that also, by the way, explains a great deal of how such an ignorant guy has advanced so far in the political process: a huge number of Americans are not only blindly illiterate about history in general and American history in specific (“blindy” here = “ignorant of their illiteracy”) but also have huge swaths of knowlege “forbidden” to them by social constructs. The strictures of leftist politically correct “paper training” keeps the puppies of our society eternally dependent on the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind for direction.

God (oops!–there’s that forbidden Person!) Marx forbid that the public should ever hear of “fairness” couched in any terms other than class warfare and taking from people who earn money to give to people who do not! Marx forbid that people should be hired and fired based on their abilities and performance rather than the color of their skin! Marx forbid that America’s history and culture, with its roots in principles of freedom, individual liberty and responsibility, strong families and private property ownership be understood and embraced by the masses, when Government needs your home (Kelo), Government needs your children (prisons for kids–a/k/a “public schools”) to train up as enstupiated sheeple and Government needs your money to give to someone else! Marx forbid that “freedom of speech” mean anything other than freedom for such as Obama and his (IL)legal brownshirts to play their thuggery upon the heads of any who dare speak the truth about The Naked Emperor-Pretender. (The major problem with that allusion is not that folks won’t get the reference but that The Obamassiah is more of a suit of clothes pretending to be a man than a naked man pretending to be clothed, but I’ll allow the strained analogy to stand anyway, because I’d very much like this empty suit to be stripped bare… and reveal that there’s no “there” there.)

An Always Timely Reminder

Sometimes I have to remind myself that, although I may have remarkable skills in the field of music education, for example, it’s simply a waste of time to try to teach a pig to sing.

Now, this applies whether it might be a discussion with someone about schools of philosophy when they

a. are woefully subliterate in the language the discussion is couched in
b. seem to be historically subliterate as well and
c. know very little about the schools under discussion

OR

When attempting to discuss (U.S.) economics with someone who

a. does not have to experience the consequences of policies they promulgate
b. is woefully subliterate in the language the discussion is couched in
c. knows very little about how our economy works

The first case is trivial. There are millions of folks who are the products of “prisons for kids” and so-called higher education in these DYSunited States who are woefully subliterate and have no idea that they are, but who nevertheless can be semi-productive citizens in a society where there’s enough productivity built into the system from previous generations to carry them. For a while.

The second case, however, is more troubling, because subliterate, dumbass, venal, crooked, power-hungry congresscritters endanger us all.

Are we doomed? Well, I’ll not positively assert that we are, if only because I am warned by the weight of history–quite apart from theological warnings–that despair is a deadly, deadly sin.

So, what to do?

Take every opportunity, make every opportunity, to denounce the subliterate, dumbass, venal, crooked, power-hungry congresscritters who endanger us all. Vote (early and often–*heh*) to kick the bastards out. The new officeholder may not be better, but at least he would have the example of his predecessor that he can be dethroned.

Then, the next time the new guy is up for election, if he’s proven to be a subliterate, dumbass, venal, crooked, power-hungry congresscritter, then work hard to get him kicked out.

I’d be moderately pleased if Congress had as close to a 100% turnover each election cycle as possible, at least for a couple of decades.

The stupid and enstupiated we will have with us always. Let’s just try to keep the worst of them out of public office, eh?

Speaking of which… (h.t. to Dafydd at Big Lizards) note the subtle differences between the two videos bellow. The Obama campaign is citing the edited (cut, redacted, truncated, butchered) version of the statement by Roy Blunt (Representative, America’s Third World County, et al–and yes, I’ve actually spoken to the man and shared a venue with him) to make it appear he is saying something opposite what he actually said.

vs.

As Dafydd says,

Team Obama is pointing to the truncated video to claim that even Roy Blunt agrees that McCain has been nothing but a roadblock, toppling a done deal and plunging America into a dark night of the financial soul.

Want to know just how corrupt, mendacious, and dishonorable is the campaign by the One We Have Been Waiting For, campaigning by what we call “Chicago rules?” That’s how.

The One is certainly buffing up his creds with The Father of Lies (John 8:44).

And I Thought MCCain-Feingold Was Bad…

Noted all over, the governor of the state where America’s Third World County is located (yeh, I voted for the guy–one of my few happy votes) has gone public with condemnations of the Obama campaign’s brownshirting of view that oppose The One,

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement

JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics…

“Money, Money, Money… it’s a rich man’s world…”

Yeh, yeh. Well, it’s not “a rich man’s world” as far as I’m concerned. America’s Third World County has a different model of “rich” than the media, I’m sure, but even at that, very few of our “rich” have a disproportionate impact on our daily lives here*, which is why I’ve not posted much here about the Wall Street/banking brouhaha.

One thing I’ve been waiting for has finally peeped its head over the wall of silence, though. Michelle Malkin is flagging the elephant in the boardrooms: the impact of alien invaders on the banking bust of 08.

Regional reports across the country have decried the subprime meltdown’s impact on illegal immigrant “victims.” A July report showed that in seven of the 10 metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates, Hispanics represented at least one-third of the population; in two of those areas – Merced and Salinas-Monterey, Calif. – Hispanics comprised half the population. The amnesty-promoting National Council of La Raza and its Development Fund have received millions in federal funds to “counsel” their constituents on obtaining mortgages with little to no money down; the group almost succeeded in attaching a $10 million earmark for itself in one of the housing bills past this spring.

For the last five years, I’ve reported on the rapidly expanding illegal alien home loan racket. The top banks clamoring for their handouts as their profits plummet, led by Wachovia and Bank of America, launched aggressive campaigns to woo illegal alien homebuyers.

(See the article for links embedded in it.)

Yep. On top of the billions upon billions of dollars siphoned off our economy in remittance money sent back to Mexico, the impact on health and education services of 20million alien invaders, the resurgence of diseases once virtually eliminated in the U.S. and a alien invader crime wave that annually surpasses in deaths the cumulative totals of servicemen killed in both Iraq and Afganistan from all causes, we have alien invaders defaulting on subprime loans.

And these loan defaults are the fault of politicians and bureaucrats of both parties dragging their heels over (or engaging in deliberate sabotage of) enforcement of already existing immigration law, compelling loans to subprime markets–including illegal aliens–and failing to oversee the quasi-governmental bodies the politicians are responsible for creating.

To his (very minimal) credit, McCain did at least push for stronger oversight of Fannie and Freddie, though he has done nothing to stem the tide of alien invaders. The Obamassiah, of course, was too busy accepting “pocket lining” from Freddie and Fannie lobbyists to look into what those organs were doing up his posterior.

So, just remember when The One attacks his opponents on the economy, he is the number two piggie at the trough sucking up money from the slop that started the cascade of failures on Wall Street.

But neither candidate–The Obamassiah or Juan Mexicain–have clean hands on the alien invader issue, although Juan has lately come around to admitting we need serious border/immigration enforcement before we can even consider any other steps to address the alien invader problems.

I just hope it’s more than electioneering bushwah.


*There is one family that does still exercise disproportionate power in the county, because they own a small telco that serves several communities comprising a majority of the population. Fortunately, cable providers and cell phone use are cutting their influence down to size.

Obama: Teleprompter at Debate?

Just a quick Q: anyone making book on how Obama’ll do debating McCain without his blankie?

Perspiring minds wanna know don’t give a flip.

(Aside: I really don’t get the “Obama=great orator” meme. I’ve seen a couple of his “read the teleprompter” gigs and while standards for political speeches are in the toilet in general, how does merely–barely–competent equate with great oration? Is society so utterly debased that The Obamassiah’s oratory skillset truly passes for “great” nowadays? If so, we are doomed no matter what our economy is like or who is elected to public office, because we as a people have become too stupid for anything but our own collective Darwin Award.)

Expose Yet Another Obama Lie

Frankly, I’ve stopped keeping track of all the times the Obama campaign has labeled a McCain ad that simply cites verifiable fact as a “dishonorable lie”. BTW, by “verifiable fact” I mean on-the-record votes and/or statements by Obama or Biden or videographic evidence (like that below) that does not–as the Obamabots are wont to do (can anyone say “Charlie Gibson” or, well, “Obama”?)–take mini-bites out of context in order to manufacure a lie. You judge for yourself: what does Joe Biden say below?

The McCain camp interpreted Biden’s clear statements, “We’re not supporting any coal here in America,” [emphasis added] and “No coal plants here in America,” to mean, “We’re not supporting any coal here in America,” and “No coal plants here in America,” and Obama responded with,

This is yet another false attack from a dishonorable campaign. Senator McCain knows that Senator Obama and Senator Biden support clean coal technology. Senator Biden’s point is that China is building coal plants with outdated technology every day, and the United States needs to lead by developing clean coal technologies.

Of course, Obamabots can explain the clear and unequivocal discrepancy. After all, in Obamaspeak, “clean coal technology” obviously means, “No coal plants here in America,” right?

More lies and deception from Obama labeling truth in advertising as… lies and deception.

Professing lies to be truth and truth to be lies, calling evil good and good evil: can here be any better description of evil itself?

Spread the truth. Go viral with this, if you will. And someone, please, anyone with the time and intestinal fortitude to stomach this stuff, keep track of the number of times Obama and his minions call the truth a lie and their lies truth. I have literally never seen such massive brazen lying outside of open memebrs of the Mass Media Poepeople Hivemind before now. The only things I can think of that come close to Obama’s Potemkin Village world would be a collection of all the examples of Hitler and Goebbels implementing The Big Lie, “lies so ‘colossal’ that no one would believe that someone ‘could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously'”*.

And no, before someone who’s woefully subliterate reads the sentence above and accuses me of calling The Obamassiah “Hitler,” please re-read that statement. I did no such thing. All I did was note an uncanny similarity to a particular propaganda technique exercised by Hitler and Goebbels. Especially significant is their pattern of accusing opponents of lying–especially when their opponents spoke easily-verifiable, truthful fact… which is the specifically Hitlerian use of the Big Lie the Obama campaign–including The One himself, does time and time again. (Goebbels’ use was usually to tell an outrageous lie to counter a truth, ofen doing so in an anticipatory fashion, more than simply accuse a truthful speaker of lying–and this, of course, is something Obama himself often does–e.g., attempting to stampede senior citizens with outrageous lies about McCain’s Social security policies.)

Spread this truth: The Obamassiah and his minions only lie when their lips move, when they breathe and when they demonstrate their uncanny ability to make colonic reverse peristalsis appear to be speech.

h.t. on the video stuff to Powerline.

Racist Lefties

The decades-long cynical use of the racism stick by lefties to both promote racial divide and keep blacks on the welfare plantation, strictly for the political gain of the Left, has become more openly strident and destructive as the presidential race has progressed. As more and more lefty politicians *spit* like Kansas’s Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and more and more lefty political cheerleaders in publications like Time (the weekly fiction magazine) and outlets like CNN (and, well, the rest of the Hivemind aparatus) spout the “Only racism can explain an Obama defeat” meme, the blatant racism of the left becomes more and more apparent.

Look, as Dennis Prager points out, the poll that has brought about the recent epidemic of vapors among Hivemind commenters and lefty pols indicates that “a fairly significant percentage of Democrats and independents may not vote for Sen. Barack Obama because of his race.” (Prager also points out that the poll doesn’t actually indicate that, but that, of course, makes no difference to reality-based fantsists any more than the poor design of the poll does).

Hello, dumbasses! IF the poll indicates racism as a factor against The One, then it indicates racism in your own camp! And, of course, the weeping (crocodile tears, no doubt) and wailing and gnashing of teeth over the supposition that only racism can defeat The One is simply an attempt to play the race card to attempt guilting the gullible into voting for The Obamassiah.

Disgusting. Especially since The One is really no more “black” than 80% or more of the rest of America. At most, he’s just another Oreo Marxist playing at racial and social divide to gain personal power.

If all the lefty prepping of the plantation inhabitants for rioting at an Obamassiah loss pays off for them, maybe “white” America should all start prepping for CCW licenses. *sigh* Can anyone say, “Inciting race wars”?

This is definitely uncool, folks.

Add to this the “anything goes” disregard for anything approaching truth at every level–from “astroturfing” amid the Dhimmicrappic Underpants left wingnuts/Daily KOSsacks (remember” “righty-tighty/lefty-loosey”?–left wingnuts are all loosed from reality) all the way to the Obamassiah’s own pronouncements (one among many that include his lying accusations that McCain lies about The One’s record *sigh*), and the political landscape in these DYSunited States is looking a bit grim.

(Oh, there’s much, much more. I have a pretty strong stomach, but every single one of the Obama ads I have seen has shaded from lies that are subtle distortions of the truth to outright, blatant libel. Every. Single. One. Makes even my stomach roil in protest. There is a place in hell–Dante’s eighth circle or ninth? Or dual residency?–for such as this.)

No, dumbass, racist lefties, if Obama goes down in the election, it’ll be because–mirabile dictu!–the electorate turns out to be not quite as stupid and venal as I sincerely believe it to be. I hope I’m wrong, for a change, about the level of stupidity of the American voter. (Now, that’s hope and change for the better!)


UPDATE: Even Cal Thomas is not immune to the racist brainwashing bushwah from the left,

America very much likes the idea of a person of color becoming president, if for no other reason than to serve as partial propitiation for our individual and collective sins against blacks.

If it is true that “America” seeks propitiation for “partial propitiation for our individual and collective sins against blacks” then I am not a part of that America. Period. I have never been a part individually OR collectively of any “sins against blacks” and I repudiate in the strongest erms possible ANY imputation of such wrongdoing against me. Such stupidity is not something I have ever or will ever countenance. Skin color makes no difference to me in my treatment of others, nor has it ever. Yes, I do recognize some very real and specific cultural problems blacks inflict upon themselves, as well as some past wrongs by society in which I did not participate in any way, shape, fashion or form. Neither are my fault or responsibility, and imuting some sense of guilt to me for wrongs perpetrated upon blacks by themselves and others is shameful, wrong and utterly without basis.

And I suspect a lot of other people like me, who have never wron ged a black person because of the color of their skin feel exactly the same way. Stop blaming US for the problems of an entire sector of society.

(BTW, yes, I did have some ancestors who fought for their Constitutional rights. I also had some ancestors who fou ght for the North, as well. Neither were truly fighting to end slavery, and in fact those who fought for the North were simply fighting for a slavery with more “plausible deniability”–and so neither get much credit for the eventual extension of full civil rights to all citizens.)

“The least of these… “

Bear with me here, OK?

Matthew 25:33-40
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Barack Obama, The Obamassiah, The One, has badly paraphrased a small excerpt of Matthew 25:33-40 as a stirring piece of blowhardery to ramp up the emotions of his followers. But as a donor to Dinesh D’Souza’s George Obama Compassion Fund has said,

“When Obama said that not taking care of the least of our brothers is our greatest moral failure, who knew that he was talking literally about the least of his brothers?”

That’s right. Barack Obama, the Great Compassionate One, is more than willing to take YOUR money and give it to other folks who have not earned it. To him, that’s true compassion. His own half-brother, though? The one living in Kenya on one dollar a month? Not one thin dime of the $4,000,000 or so Barack Obama made last year to help his own brother–a brother whom he met in 2006 and of whose circumstances he is well aware.

So just remember when you hear Barack Hussein Obama talk about compassion for “the least of these” he is lying through his teeth about compassion, for he doesn’t have one ounce of compassion for his own brother.

The first sentence of the scripture quoted above mentions Barack Hussein Obama’s class: goat.

All Dressed Up and No Place to Go

Michelle Malkin has one of the better (of many good posts at various sites) posts/discussion threads up about the Palin email “hack”. MQ? Glad you asked. It’s from a “tech-savvy reader who monitors the hackers’ site” who emailed Malkin what he’d discovered of the original invader’s own comments:

I read though the emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family

So, all the hoopla, hype and spin the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind has put on it in the last coupla days (the “She was hiding state business/’Troopergate’!” bullshit) leaves the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind drowning in the Obamassiah tank with no place (legitimate) to go.

Of course, that won’t stop them from going all sorts of illegitimate places in their attempts to make radishes out of bunny poop.

The real gem in all this? The Obamassiah hands out marching orders,

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face…” [emphasis in the original bloviation by the Obamassiah]

And–surprise! surprise!–an Obamabot takes him seriously:

David Kernell Named in Sarah Palin E-Mail Hack, Son of Democrat Mike Kernell
By Jon Shanks
Sep 19, 2008

Who hacked the e-mail of Sarah Palin? Right now it appears that authorities are looking at David Kernell. Tennessee state Rep. Mike Kernell [D-Negligent Father–twc] became nationally known this afternoon. He can thank his son, David. Look out as this just got very partisan and this does not bode well for Democrats who now appear they will do anything to try and defeat John McCain and Sarah Palin including breaking the law.

Who woulda thunk it? *heh*

Oo-Oo-Oo, I know! A Rope made of hominy!

John McCain proposes a high-level commission to determine causes and preventative measures for financial meltdowns such as experienced over the last week+ and firing the Securities and Exchange Chairman Christopher Cox for failure of public trust.

The Obamassiah”promised new ideas” according to reports.

Oh. Wow. *yawn* That’s… thin, as usual. At least my idea is original, moderately interesting and much, much more substantial than promising “new ideas.”

And Michelle Obama on Palin: “she’s cute.” (Ahh, she’s just envious… still. Always.)
