country is now in the throes of a deep-seated, pervasive, and pernicious
disease which is largely mental but with definite and closely related physical
manifestations. This illness seems to be
spreading and is completely nondiscriminatory.
Rich and poor alike are vulnerable to its ravages as are those in our
shrinking middle class. It effects
black, white, and everything in between.
No ethnic group or religion is immune and it is completely gender
neutral. Democrats and Republicans are
infected by it as are Liberals, Conservatives, Independents and any other
political affiliation you can name or identify.
Liberal-Democrats are, of course, are infected with the malady more than
any other faction in our society and those members of the LFE (Liberal Fucking
Elite) have gone completely bat-shit nuts!
They have totally lost any ability to think rationally or maintain any
link with reality. The disease literally
eats away at the brain and those who suffer from it desperately require
intensive psychological counseling and perhaps institutionalization along with
massive doses of psychotropic medication just to keep them beyond the reach of
those men in the white coats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Perhaps
this illness is most noticeable and easily discernable in our nation’s colleges
and universities as well as our primary and secondary schools. American children have been for many decades
now victims of the LFE and their Far Left ideological brainwashing (see The
Activism And The Demise Of The American University Rant of 3/13/16 or The
Anti-Americanism In Our Public Schools Rant of 6/29/11). Our educational system at all levels from top
to bottom has been captured by Far Left teachers, professors, and
administrators. They are thoroughly and
totally consumed by the malady and maliciously and purposely poison the young
minds of their vulnerable charges with it.
They do this gleefully and with malice aforethought and are perfectly
willing to sacrifice the minds of our youngsters on the alter of their hateful
Liberal ideology. They do not teach but
rather indoctrinate. They do not educate
but instead inculcate. They have
literally destroyed the ability of generations of young Americans to think
critically and independently but have created hordes of mind-numbed lemmings
perfectly willing to follow their leaders right over the cliff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Exactly
who are these leaders, you may ask? If
you don’t already know the answer to that question then you are likely to
become a victim of the affliction being considered here. These leaders are those on the Far Left in
our country and they take their marching orders from America’s Liberal Fucking
Elite. They loathe and despise this
country with a hatred that is nothing less than pathological. There is nothing about the United States that
they find the least bit praise-worthy, admirable, or deserving of
emulation. According to them, America is
the worst blight in planetary history and we represent nothing less than evil
personified. We are the cause of all the
world’s evils and ills and they fervently wish to destroy us as historically
founded and presently constituted. Their
hatred for America is boundless and all-consuming. It is literally the be-all and end-all of
their very existence. It is their reason
for living and that hatred is what animates them and gives them both purpose
and direction. They absolutely cannot
and will not recognize the fact that the United States has been the greatest
force for good in the history of mankind or that the concept of American
Exceptionalism is real and valid. They
will not accept the obvious fact that without this nation, the world would be a
much darker and far more sinister place.
These anti-American scum-bags just can’t get it through their teeny,
tiny, warped little minds that the United States represents the very best that
mankind has to offer. We are the epitome
of freedom, optimism, and opportunity and we are indeed humanity’s last best
hope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> All of
these folks have a number distinctive traits in common besides a deep hatred of
their own country. They are all
completely irrational and absolutely incapable of independent or creative
thought. They are all subject to severe and
outlandish temper tantrums when they don’t get what they want or demand. Each and every one of them displays what can
only be termed as a herd mentality and they present themselves as the ultimate
victims who life has treated unfairly.
They whine constantly and continuously and with little or no provocation
are prone to extreme violence and destructive behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> They are
incapable of engaging in rational, open, and honest debate with those whom they
disagree and can do no more than shout opponents down and shut them up. They don’t recognize anyone’s First Amendment
rights save their own. Only they have
the right to freedom of speech or expression and only they have a so-called
right to their own opinions regardless of how uninformed and wrong-headed they
might be. In addition, they are forever
and permanently angry. After all, they
are Far Left Liberals and anger is always their default position. It is built into their DNA and helps define
who and what they are. Each and every
one of them is permanently constipated and this condition has affected their ability
to engage in reasonable thought and intelligent conversation. They are all paranoid to the point of
irrationality and see potential enemies behind every rock and tree. They are filled with a blind and
all-consuming rage that precludes anything remotely resembling clear-headed and
well developed arguments or actions.
They constitute nothing more than a mindless mob awaiting marching
orders from their demagogic leadership.
They bring to mind the lynch mobs portrayed in so many of the “Westerns”
we watch on TV or perhaps the Jacobins after the French Revolution led by the
mad monk Robespierre. They care nothing
for America, its history, traditions, or institutions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> All of
these folks suffer from a debilitating malady correctly labeled Trump Derangement
Syndrome or TDS. This is not the first
time we have witnessed such an illness.
There was an outbreak during the Reagan years and during George W.
Bush’s Presidency. These two previous
incarnations were mild – even bland – compared to what’s occurring under our 45<sup>th</sup>
President. Mr. Trump is roundly hated,
loathed, and despised by virtually every Democrat in Congress as well as the
general public. This is to be expected. These folks view Trump as not merely a
political opponent with programs and policies with which they disagree. It goes far deeper than that. They view the President as evil, dangerous,
and completely out of control. They
believe the man is deranged and suffers from any number of psychoses and
neuroses. They see him as unpredictable
and uncontrollable and will do everything in their power to disrupt or destroy
his Presidency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> These
folks began calling for his impeachment from the moment he was sworn into
office. They all know that impeachment
can only be employed if the man has committed those high crimes and
misdemeanors referred to in the Constitution.
Trump has committed neither but that matters not one iota to those
afflicted with TDS. The disease is
all-consuming and affects their every waking moment. They eat, sleep, and dream of ways to destroy
Trump and render his presidency completely impotent. To them he is the enemy and as such must be
vilified and dehumanized. He must be
continuously lambasted and lampooned.
His entire family must be attacked, humiliated, and embarrassed and
nothing he says or does will be accepted at face value. The anti-Trump vitriol is unlike anything
we’ve seen in recent American history.
It’s both crazed and mindless and goes far beyond what is considered the
normal Democrat-Republican rivalry. TDS
goes far beyond the usual political machinations and ramifications most of us
have become accustomed to over the years.
But hey, what else can we expect from the Democrats and especially those
on the party’s Far Left?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> What may,
however, disappoint and dismay President Trump is the fact that so many of his
so-called Republican allies in the House and the Senate display similar
anti-Trump attitudes and predilections.
If you recall, the primaries to select the Republican nominee were
particularly rancorous and, at times, vicious.
Barbs and arrows were routinely launched by all of the candidate
wannabes and some went way beyond accepted norms of discord and disagreement. Trump, of course, proved more than capable of
barb and arrow slinging as his rivals quickly learned. The novice politician but very accomplished
businessman cut his teeth, so to speak, in the real world where competition and
the free market dictate who thrives and survives. Compared to Trump, these guys didn’t stand a
chance. They couldn’t compete with Trump
because they have only had to compete in the political realm which is child’s
play when put up against an opponent who successfully navigated the rough and
tumble of free market capitalism. Trump
out-thought and out-performed them at every turn. He campaigned in all fifty states and
displayed amazing levels of stamina, fortitude, and a work ethic that none of
the competition could come close to matching.
After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, the last man standing was,
of course, “The Trumpster.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> That then
should have been it. The losers were
expected to lick their wounds, get over their defeat, and do everything they
could to help elect their party’s official candidate. They fought hard and well but in the end
proved incapable of overcoming their inexperienced political rival. They managed to do just that in the 2016
election because, I believe, the Democrat candidate was so horribly flawed,
venal, and corrupt. In the end, of course,
Trump won by an electoral landslide and the Clinton folks couldn’t believe
it. After all, Hillary was favored to
win. Right up to election day she was
picked to win by the vast majority of the so-called pundits and experts out
there. Trump should not have been able to
defeat that used up, dried out old hag.
No way, no how. But, of course,
he did. In a stunning upset, the new kid
on the political block defied all expectations and emerged as President Donald
J. Trump. This was simply not supposed
to happen but no one told Trump or his supporters that. For the first time in decades, the
Republicans held the White House, the Senate, and the House. Implementing Trump’s agenda should not have
presented even the slightest of problems.
The new President was now in a position to help fix the problems faced
by an ailing nation and what had become a crippled political system. All he seemingly needed, was the support of
his own party and therein lies the fucking rub!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> You see,
far too many of his Republican compatriots are also infected with the dreaded
TDS. Far too many of them view Trump as
an interloper and intruder. Our new
President is viewed by both Democrats and Republicans as illegitimate and undeserving
of the office he now holds. Trump did
not succeed by employing the tried and true methods prescribed by traditional
American politics. He didn’t rise up
through the ranks of political advancement that our system and those in it
demand. According to the Inside The
Beltway Crowd, there is no room for outsiders or mavericks like Trump. He did not play the game as laid out by the
professional political class and was and is viewed as an outsider who had not
earned membership to the elite Good Old Boy Club that dictates protocol and
behavior that one must adhere to in order to succeed. He did not belong and never would according
to those who shape and mold political standards and norms. These elites have absolutely no respect for
the opinions, wants, and desires of us little folk out here. Every two to six years they placate us with
appropriate language and promises at every turn and then expect us to go away
until the next round of elections. They
tolerate us when they must but beyond that they don’t want to see or hear from
us. They have a vested interest in
maintaining the status quo and will not tolerate anyone who rocks the
boat. And Trump is definitely a boat
rocker par excellence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> His
opponents and detractors in his own party are a particular disappointment and I
can say with some confidence that if they don’t get aboard pretty damned quick
their chances of getting reelected next time around seem to be anywhere from
slim to none. Those of us out here who
are Conservatives are tired, fed up, and frustrated beyond all measure. We’re sick and tired of our party throwing
away opportunity after opportunity. They
can’t seem to handle the fact that they now constitute the majority party in
Congress. They don’t know how to behave
like winners and feel more comfortable with their traditional role of being the
minority party. They certainly know how
to handle being losers. After all, how
tough is that? When you are the minority
you must reach across the aisle and accommodate the Democrats – you must
compromise and appease for the minority has no other real choice. After all, they are the losers. Our guys just don’t seem comfortable with the
idea of being winners. They simply
aren’t used to it. The health care
debacle we are currently witnessing is a prime example of how they either can’t
or simply refuse to behave like the winners.
They just aren’t used to it.
Trump has said frequently that he has his pen ready and is imploring his
fellow Republican to get a bill on his desk that he can sign into law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> They all
knew that at some point Obamacare would implode to the point that it is hurting
Americans far more than it is helping them.
The whole damn thing is a lie and has been from the beginning. Remember how we could keep our doctor if we
liked our doctor? An outright lie. Remember that if you liked your insurance
plan you could keep that too? Another
purposeful lie. Remember the one where
health care costs would drop dramatically?
Yup, lie number three and the list goes on and on. Our 44<sup>th</sup> President lied his ass off
every time he opened his damned mouth on the subject of health care. He knew from the get-go that the Affordable
Care Act was doomed to fail. That’s
exactly what it was designed to do. Yes,
that’s right, it was designed to fail.
Once that happened, those on the Far Left would move to a single-payer
system where the only provider of health care would be the government. That’s pure Socialism, folks, and that’s
exactly what those of the LFE want and demand.
Republicans now have the opportunity to really help the American people
and they are refusing to step up to the plate.
They have been pitched a chest high fast ball with nothing on it. They should be able to knock it right out of
the park. But no, they are not doing
so. They are not repealing and replacing
which is one of the main reasons that Trump was elected. They seem to be defying our new President for
no other reason than the fact that repeal and replace was one of the key
promises and a cornerstones of Trump’s presidential campaign. They don’t seem to want Trump to succeed
because they too are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome. At best their health care proposals proffered
thus far seem to be no more than Obamacare light. I wonder if they’ll be just as obstructionist
when it’s time to begin working on yet another Trump promise – tax reform?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> So, then, what exactly is this phenomenon
known as Trump Derangement Syndrome and why is it spreading like some kind of
raging epidemic? A piece entitled, “Do
You Suffer From Trump Derangement Syndrome? (</span><a href="http://www.latimes.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.latimes.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is useful here. The author notes that
the, “country is in the throes of a major epidemic with no known cure and some
pretty scary symptoms. It’s called Trump
Derangement Syndrome, or TDS, and it’s rapidly spreading from the point of
origin – the political class – to the population at large. In the first stages of the disease, victims
lose all sense of proportion. The
president elect’s every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world.” The
piece continues that the, “mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on
the victim’s vocabulary: sufferers speak
a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole.” The author points out that Trump made a
decision to continue to use his own private security force which prompted
former independent candidate Evan McMullin to rant that this was, “a
predictable move for a kleptocratic authoritarian who wants to operate outside
the bounds of law and basic ethical standards.
Even more troubling, he may use the force’s lack of government oversight
& presidential veneer to carry out extralegal acts of force.” The author correctly opined that it’s, “quite
a stretch to suggest that a desire to keep trusted lieutenants is actually a
sinister plot to create a version of the brownshirts, but such illogical leaps
are the pathway to the next stage of TDS: a state of constant hysteria.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> In fact,
as the disease progresses, “the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish
fantasy from reality,” and in the, “advanced stages of the disease, those
afflicted lose touch with reality.
Opinion is unmoored from fact.
Life resembles a dark fairy tale in which the villain – Trump – is an amalgam
of all the worst tyrants in history, past and present – while the heroes –
Trump’s critics – are akin to the resistance fighters of World War ll.” I’m sure you’ve heard by now that the
anti-Trumpsters have indeed dubbed themselves as the, “Resistance.” The mainstream media also uses this term to
describe those who want to neuter if not destroy Trump’s presidency. I’m sure you remember that loser of a
comedian who proudly displayed Trump’s bloodied, severed head. I’m equally certain you recall the softball
practice held by Republicans in preparation for their annual contest with their
Democrat rivals. A man showed up and
queried as to whether those at the practice were Democrats or Republicans and
upon learning that they were members of the GOP, he immediately opened fire to
try and kill as many of the players as he could. He wounded a few, one very seriously, before
he was shot and killed by the police.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

but one example of an extreme case of TDS and I’m quite sure that there will be
more to follow. The author of the piece
notes that, “This is the final stage of the TDS epidemic: violence against a
democratically elected leader. Unless a
cure for TDS is found, this is where we are headed.” He’s right, you know. The Trump Haters have become completely
unhinged and they get worse with every passing month. They are becoming increasingly violent,
especially on college and university campuses.
They become ever more irrational and hysterical. Their anger and frustration borders on
insanity and it appears that virtually all of their energy is focused on
bringing down the Trump administration.
They don’t appear to have jobs and if they are students, as many of them
are, they don’t apparently go to classes.
They are far too busy protesting, marching, burning, and destroying
property. There simply isn’t time to go
to class and actually learn anything that will stand them in good stead when
they are finally confronted with life’s realities. They are simply unprepared to cope with the
real world and seem to lack the normal life-skills necessary to negotiate the
pitfalls and problems of adulthood. They
are perpetual adolescents who can’t rationally cope with anyone with whom they
disagree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

also analyzes the symptoms by those suffering from the malady under
consideration. The article explains that
it is a, “fast-moving disease, highly contagious and attacks the nervous
system. Early symptoms are inexplicable,
fast eye-blinking, light palsy, stammering and overbearing snobbery. Sometimes redness of the face and shortness
of breath accompany.” Additionally,
“Later stages include total delusionment, dementia, inability to think clearly
and, ultimately, a madness that cannot be contained.” Sounds pretty damned serious doesn’t it? In fact, if you have ever seen even a few of
the anti-Trump rallies – especially at our so-called institutions of higher
learning – you have witnessed it playing out right in front of your eyes. Those who participate seem to be rabidly out
of control and are so choked with anger they have lost the ability to
communicate rationally and calmly. They
make strange, guttural noises and do not talk in sentences. Actually, they don’t talk but shriek like
twisted banshees high on crack or perhaps angel dust. The author explains that if you experience
blinking and twitching then there may yet be hope for a recovery but, “in the
final stages, patients are often found wild-eyed, naked, frothing at the mouth,
and writhing on the floor. This behavior
has been likened to that of Antonio Salleri in the final scenes of Amadeus.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the piece further explains that, “Researchers have yet to arrive at a
scientific name for the debilitating disease but it is generally referred to as
Donald Trump Derangement Syndrome (DTDS).
It is found in its most virulent and highly contagious strain among media
and punditry circles and top ranks of Republican Party leaders.” Read that last just one more time. It’s really quite obvious and not even the
least bit surprising. Trump is the
outsider and will always be seen as such and that’s why he is so loved and
admired by his supporters. The size of
the crowds he attracted while on the campaign trail have never been equaled by
any of the professional politicians on either side of the aisle. These tired, worn out old hacks just don’t
get it and they probably never will.
They simply cannot comprehend the fact that Trump is able to correctly
and effectively read the mood of the electorate and therefore connect with them
on a level that his rivals and detractors aren’t capable of either
understanding or matching. These
traditional old-time “pols” will continue to resist this upstart at every
turn. Trump will never be accepted or
even tolerated. They view their
government positions as their exclusive and very private fiefdoms or
sinecures. They are the elites and the
uninitiated are simply not deemed worthy of equal status. The Inside The Beltway Crowd just don’t share
or play well with others. Anyone who
tries will either be crushed or coopted by the traditional powers that be. But not Trump and it drives them fucking
nuts! They will obstruct and impede at
every turn and it doesn’t matter what party they are from. They just can’t abide this rash, brash, and
ever so confident “newbie”. He simply
must not be allowed to succeed for that might set a precedent that the “pros”
can’t let happen. The strangle-hold that
they have held on the American citizen might be forever broken if Trump is
successful and actually implements has agenda and achieves his goals. To them this is a worst case scenario.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

addition to the so-called insiders, our new President is loathed, despised, and
virulently hated by our completely biased mainstream media. Fake news organizations like the New York
Times, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times and virtually all the rest display a
hatred for the President that is at the very least border-line
pathological. The Trumpster just can’t
get a fair shake from the talking heads that populate our so-called media be it
print or electronic. Well over 90% of
the coverage of the President is both negative and vicious and quite frankly
not too many men could withstand these never-ending assaults, attacks, and
outright lies. Trump, we must remember,
comes from the private sector and is a problem solver. He is solution oriented and understands how
to get things done and remove obstacles.
He has done so in combatting the Left Wing Media and it absolutely
infuriates them. They have been rendered
almost obsolete and inconsequential because they are no longer in the news
business but have become the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. They are no longer trusted by a huge
percentage of the American electorate and it makes them absolutely and utterly
apoplectic. Trump has proven that he
simply doesn’t need them for as we all know, he tweets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of course, those out there that advise him to stop the practice of
tweeting. They say that it is extremely
unpresidential and undermines the stature and status of the office of the
President. This is pure, unadulterated
Bullshit! Trump’s tweets allow him to
by-pass the media and render it impotent and irrelevant. Trump speaks directly to the American people
and doesn’t have to depend on the crooked news media to deliver his message
with their ever-present Left Wing anti-Trump bias. In an earlier era, Ronaldus Maximus did exactly
that. He also couldn’t depend on them to
treat him fairly or honestly so he simply went over their heads and spoke
directly to the American people. You
see, he was something of a maverick as well.
This tactic further enrages the propagandists in the media and virtually
guarantees even more vitriolic treatment of our 45<sup>th</sup> President. To his credit, however, he plows ahead
despite all of the negative attacks directed at him and his entire family. The author concludes his piece by noting
that, “Sadly, researchers do not have the slightest hope of a cure for those in
the advanced stages of the disease. The
only known Hail Mary prescriptions have been to either send them to Syria as
DTDS refugees or allow them to sneak across the Mexican border before the Trump
wall and casino is built.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

begins by noting that the author is also a victim of the dreaded Trump
Derangement Syndrome. He explains that,
“It’s hardly just liberals who have despaired of Trump ever being other than an
undisciplined, unprincipled, chaos-inducing managerial incompetent with no
moral restraint on doing whatever he deems necessary to win at the game of
running a nation as if it were just the latest installment of a reality show in
which he is the one and only star.” This
guy is indeed infected with the dreaded disease. One doesn’t get to create a multi,
multi-billion dollar, world-wide real estate empire without being disciplined
in the extreme. Anyone who seriously
doesn’t understand this has really got his head stuck right up his ass! This guy, like so many anti-Trumpsters, has
no use for anything approaching reason, logic, or common sense. Like most of the pathetic, mindless buffoons
who despise Trump, they do not think but rather emote. I’m willing to wage a sizeable chunk of
change that this guy’s last original thought died an agonizing death of utter

to admit that his, “symptoms include sleeplessness, periodic depression, a
first-ever obsession with cable news, and the tiny hairs on my wrists snapping
to attention every time my phone lights up in the way it started to do sometime
last year with little snippets that usually included the words Russia and Trump
Administration in them.” If anyone out
there can explain this drivel, please leave a comment so as to enlighten
me. The writer informs us that his,
“Night-time sweats include fear of a ruined environment, a ruined economy, a
ruined health care system, a ruined world order, fear of the end of the world
itself.” Does this fellow seem rational
or grounded in reality to you? That’s a
rhetorical question so don’t rack your brain for an answer. The point is that this Yutz is paralyzed with
fear and has succumbed to TDS to the point that he can no longer be saved. There are literally millions of people out
there who share this utterly warped view of Trump and what he means to the many
millions of folks who voted for him. The
poor deluded Bastard concludes by noting that he fears, “that my daughter,
first-time voter that she was in November, will think that all of the brouhaha
of this most extraordinary time, with our nation headed by a sexually-abusing,
unreflective, narcissistic, quarrelsome and superficial con man, is just the

discussion of the Trump Derangement Syndrome would be remiss if we did not take
a brief look at how the crazies in Hollywood have reacted to Trump’s
election. Those in “Tinsel Town” are the
epicenter of the Liberal Fucking Elite in America. The vast majority of them are Far, Far Left
and they long ago lost touch with reality.
These ultra-rich, pampered, and spoiled little snowflakes have become
totally unhinged and have lost any grip on reality that they may have once
had. These people contribute very little
toward the betterment of life in the United States. Yes, yes, there is the “entertainment Factor”
but that palls into insignificance when compared to the contributions of
fire-fighters, cops, home builders, garbage men and the like. These people and so many others actually try
to make life better and they are vital to the health and well-being of the
nation. They do their jobs day after
day, year in and year out and are not nearly appreciated enough. The Hollywood Elite, on the other hand, do
nothing nearly as important and vital yet they are forever placed on a very
high and lofty pedestal and are treated like royalty. These grown men and women do what little
children do – they play pretend and make believe just like we all did when we
were very young. We, however, have
outgrown this childishness while Hollywood’s Far Left still exhibit these
traits. They are overgrown kids who seem
not to live in the real world yet they are revered and respected beyond any
reasonable measure. Americans take them
ever so seriously and literally hang on to their supposed words of wisdom and
their insightful analyses of the ills that plague American society. In reality, they are buffoons who strut
around like puffed up peacocks during mating season. It’s absolutely ludicrous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

illustrates the absolute asininity of the Hollywood meltdown over Trump’s
victory. The author asks, “How bad is
what I call Trump Derangement Syndrome, (TDS), whose sufferers are
overwhelmingly the Hollywood celebrity set?”
He answers that it is, “so bad it can cause celebrities to gain weight
and lose weight for the same reason – loathing Trump. Barbara Streisand wrote, “Donald Trump is
making me gain weight. I start the day
with liquids, but after the morning news I eat pancakes smothered with maple
syrup!” As I recall, Streisand once
threatened to leave the country never to return when George W. Bush was
elected. Hey Funny Girl, why don’t you
just shut your fucking mouth and make good on your promise? Some film maker who I have never heard of,
Jud Apatow, admits that, “It’s very hard to lose weight in the Trump era,” and
that, “Most of us are just scared and eating ice cream.” Poor little snowflake! This guy’s doing something that is a
Liberal’s stock in trade. They are
always blaming something or someone else for their own failure and
foibles. After all, honest
self-reflection just hurts too damned much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

note that such luminaries as Lena Dunham who created the TV series “Girls”, is
blaming Trump for her impending bulimia.”
Tsk, tsk, poor little cupcake!
She continues that since, “Trump became president . . . I stopped being
able to eat food.” She whined in true
Liberal fashion, “Try soul-crushing pain and devastation and hopelessness and
you too will lose weight.” How sad, how
tragic! It seems Trump’s election has
done some really positive things as the cry-babies on the Left Coast fight the
ever-present problem of gaining weight which is crucial to the Hollywood
crowd. Another Hollywood “Celeb” moaned
that, “Today I had a tooth shaved down because crippling anxiety makes me grind
and rock my teeth on one side. I blame
Trump.” It seems that some of
Hollywood’s elite have taken to abusing booze because of the Trumpster while
others have been driven straight into sobriety.
A writer for the celebrity magazine Bust says that, “thanks to Trump she
has quit drinking because it clouds her ability to do her job, which is mostly
to criticize Trump and conservatism.” If
Trump is indeed responsible for these lily-livered malcontents dropping pounds
and getting off the bottle, you’d think they’d thank the President. Yet another sniveling denizen of Hollywood
maintains that she is, “so fucking tired of this manically insane, incompetent
president and his dumpster fire of an administration . . . I’m gonna have to go
on another med.” It sounds like these
emotional cripples on the Left have become so unglued that more than just a few
seem to becoming drug addicts. Good for
them and I hope they enjoy the ride as Trump continues to implement his agenda
and fulfill campaign promises.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> A Mr.
David Kupelian who comments for the conservative World Net Daily notes that a
long-time Liberal reader sent him an e-mail entitled, “The Real Republican
Agenda.” He quotes directly from that
missive. It begins by explaining, “You
can’t round up the ill, the disabled, the undesirables and kill them in gas
chambers. But you can take away their
medicine and let them die,” or, “You can’t lynch a black man under a burning
cross. But you can shoot him with a
policeman’s gun (</span><a href="http://www.wnd.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.wnd.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">.” The writer of the e-mail cannot and does not
back up these outrageous accusations with any examples, proof or evidence. The
e-mailer blathers on that, “You can’t force a woman to wear a burqa and beat
her if she steps outside. But you can
rape her, fail to prosecute the rapist and deny her health care for the
pre-existing rape, deny her an abortion for the resulting pregnancy, deny her
maternity care, deny her maternity leave and pay and block her avenues to
rebuild her life.” This guy has become
totally unraveled and his anti-Trumpism is patently obvious. It is not even thinly veiled or disguised but
instead he proudly displays his absolute and total ignorance. Like most of those on the Far Left he has no
sense – common or otherwise – at all. He
is apparently too blinded by his all-consuming hatred of Trump to comprehend
how utterly deluded he has become. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Additionally, “You can’t round up the foreign-born, confiscate their
property, and imprison them in detainment camps in the American west
(again). But you can block them at the
border and deny them re-entry, deny them reunion with their families, homes and
lives, even though they have legal immigration status.” I wonder if this guy ever gets tired of being
wrong? Furthermore, the e-mailer
proclaims, “You can’t put the poor in labor camps. But you can tax them so heavily, and make the
cost of education so burdensome, that they and further generations can never
ever escape.” What we are witnessing
here is an old and oft-used Liberal tactic and strategy. You accuse your enemies of doing exactly what
you yourself are guilty of doing. It has
been historically the Left that wants to raise taxes to the point where we can
barely keep any of the money we earn and it is the Far Left that has caused the
price of education to sky-rocket to the point where people simply can’t afford
what is euphemistically called a higher education or they simply default on
those student loans that they can’t afford to pay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

continue. “You can’t go back to separate

Betsy DeVos and let her do this through funding,” and you, “can’t own a
plantation that profits off the backs of little children. But you can look at the budget and say oh,
there’s no money for food stamps for hungry children, but there are bottomless
tax cuts for the wealthiest white men.”
This guy is so full of shit his eyes have turned brown. He rambles on that you, “can’t appoint a
Klansman. But you can appoint Jeff
Sessions.” Once again, this fool
displays his complete ignorance. This
Yutz doesn’t even realize that Jeff Sessions put the Klan out of business in
his state and even went to great lengths to make sure that one of those hooded
freaks died by lethal injection.
Finally, “You can’t be Hitler.
But you can be Donald Trump.”
Those on the Far Left frequently compare Trump to Hitler thus furthering
the absolute truism that they are completely ignorant of history and that they
have failed to learn from it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is insightful here. The author maintains
that there, “appears to be no end to the Left’s vitriol against President
Trump. After his inauguration, massive and
sometimes violent anti-Trump protests have broken out across the country.” In
fact the, “mainstream press hyperventilates over his every statement and action
with reporters spouting opinions as fact and one supposedly objective TV anchor
literally rolling his eyes at a Trump surrogate. In the latest bout of hysteria, Democrats and
liberals are obsessing gleefully over the dim prospect of Trump’s
impeachment.” These guys maintain as
their default position the impeachment of any Republican who sits in the Oval
Office. They are desperately seeking to
bring Trump down as they did Nixon in the 1970’s. The Democrats keep looking backward instead
of forward and it certainly shows. Their
ideas and prescriptions are old, tired, and worn out. They keep clamoring for more and bigger
government solutions for all of life’s problems. That can only result in more and more
government infringement on the rights and freedoms of American citizens. Whenever government grows, freedom must by
definition diminish. Our Founders
learned this lesson well and Conservatives still understand it. Current day Democrats and far too many
Republicans have either forgotten or never learned this most valuable of
lessons. The article continues and
explains that the, “hatred Trump inspires comes with a whole lot of derangement
and hypocrisy. It can also trace its
roots to the political correctness and intellectual intolerance with which
American society and education are saturated.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the author correctly posits that the, “Left likes to beat into submission
anyone with a dissenting view. Nowhere
is it more effective at doing so than on university campuses,” including
Cornell which, “is no stranger to political bias. Right before last year’s election a survey
revealed that 11 out of 19 departments at Cornell, including government and
philosophy, had zero Republican professors.”
This, of course, can and does have consequences. Our college students are literally being
brainwashed because they are certainly not being educated. They are purposely being force-fed the views
of the Far Left extremists because those are the folks at the helm of virtually
all of America’s colleges and universities (see The Gentle Snowflake-Cupcake
Rant of 12/11/16). The author notes
that, “major universities across the country lack ideological diversity and
regularly inculcate political bias against right-leaning ideas. By systematically silencing and marginalizing
opposing views, these universities have been at the forefront of waging lunacy
against the Trump phenomenon and anything else deemed politically incorrect. They make a habit of labeling non-leftist
views as racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic – in addition to fascist and
inherently evil.” In fact our,
“institutions of higher learning are some of the biggest purveyors of
intellectual intolerance. Young people
reared in such an environment seek safe spaces from opposing opinions, denounce
Trump (sometimes violently) and hate those who hold pro-Trump views.” The author observes that it, “is no surprise
that universities have been gripped with the most reprehensible bout of
anti-Trump violence since the election,” and that as, “the political fights in
Washington rage on anyone who cares about having an honest political dialogue
should remember that sustainable reform in the nation’s politics is unlikely to
come before true reform at universities and society as a whole.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> I’m sure
we’ve all heard the old and over used bromide that, “we are a nation of
immigrants.” I’m sure we’ve heard this
completely mindless and utterly meaningless maxim for as long as we’ve been
alive. Alright, let’s concede the
point. At some time in our personal
histories and backgrounds, each of us can claim relatives and/or ancestors who
came from somewhere else. However long
ago it was, someone in our family tree hopped on a boat or a plane and kissed their
homelands goodbye. The reasons ranged
the gamut from a desire for religious freedom to political freedom to economic
opportunity and anything else you can possibly think of. Ponder that for a moment. You literally turned your back on everything
you’ve ever known and most of the people you’ve ever loved or cared about. This had to be a momentous and often painful
decision, especially hundreds of years ago when traveling three thousand miles
across the Atlantic Ocean in a rickety wooden vessel was at best a precarious
and dangerous proposition. The voyage
was not for those weak of heart or mind.
It was, however, in many ways, a voyage of the desperate and
downtrodden. It was a voyage for those
who had nothing left to lose. They had
absolutely no hope and no prospects in their home countries and came here on
the proverbial wing and a prayer. They
didn’t know what awaited them once they managed to get here and there were
certainly no guarantees that life would be better for them in the New World. That seems to me to be the ultimate definition
of desperation. These folks were the
epitome of those poor, tired, and huddled masses so celebrated by old Emma.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> And
absolutely nothing has changed save for the fact that it’s gotten far worse
than it has ever been. We’ve lost
control of our immigration policies, we no longer secure of our borders, and a
nation with unprotected borders is in danger of losing its sovereignty as well
as its identity. Immigration is no
longer working to our nation’s benefit but has rather become an overwhelming and
dangerous negative. If it continues
unabated, it will bring America to its knees and will destroy the greatest
country in the history of all mankind.
Yes, I know. We’re not supposed
to utter such sentiments out loud in front of God and everybody. It simply isn’t done. After all, it’s the height of political
incorrectness and insensitivity with perhaps just a touch of xenophobia thrown
in for good measure. Does this sound terribly
insensitive to you? Does it sound
nativist or perhaps just a tad jingoistic?
Good, because it’s meant to sound exactly that way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> You see,
in a sane and rational world, immigration and its attendant policies are
supposed to first and foremost benefit the nation receiving those coming from
foreign countries. It should never, ever
be designed above all else for the exclusive benefit of the immigrant although
by definition those coming here from other countries have always
benefitted. A basic question regarding
immigration must be how will this individual or this group improve our
nation? Will these newcomers be a net
positive or will they, in fact, become a net burden and a detriment? This is no more than basic common sense
which, unfortunately, is becoming less and less common with each passing
year. We have stopped asking these and
other relevant questions regarding immigrants and immigration policy but
instead are traveling down the road of cultural surrender and national
suicide. We are witnessing what I
believe is the purposeful and malicious transformation and destruction of the
United States as historically founded and presently constituted. This is not an exaggeration, an over-statement, nor is it mere hyperbole. It is a plain statement of fact that cannot
be denied by any rational individual who loves America. We are welcoming with open arms the world’s
worst. They are, in the main,
illiterate, uneducated, unproductive, and have absolutely zero desire to become
Americans or Americanized. They have no
desire to assimilate – to adopt American culture and customs. In far too many cases, they absolutely refuse
to learn to speak, read, or write the English language. Additionally, not just a small percentage of
these newcomers to our shores were criminals in the lands of their birth and
will continue that life-style once they arrive here. Again, this is not just mere opinion but
rather is a matter of fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Why, then,
have we chosen to go down this road? Why
have we chosen this particular path to travel?
I believe the answer lies in the fact that Americans no longer
appreciate their unique and unprecedented birthright and no longer recognize
the very real concept of American Exceptionalism which is the reason our nation
has evolved into the greatest, wealthiest, most powerful, freest, and most
generous country the world has ever seen.
Does that sound somewhat braggadocious?
Does that sound unabashedly and unapologetically patriotic? Good.
It’s supposed to. Far too many
Americans, it seems to me, no longer believe this about their own country and
those who do will almost never express these sentiments in the public square
for fear of being humiliated, shunned, and ridiculed. To openly express love of country, to admit
to being patriotic, is considered to be in poor taste. To express pride in America’s past
accomplishments and optimism for the nation’s future is seen as no longer
applicable in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century.
We are no longer to consider ourselves as American citizens first, last,
and always. Rather, we must reevaluate
our position and consider ourselves instead as citizens of the world. We must lose all vestiges of the outdated
notion of nationalism and instead adopt a globalist view which denigrates and
de-emphasizes the idea of the old nation state.
Clearly defined and defendable national borders are passe and no longer
apply in this age of global interdependence and connectivity. Those of us who still value ideas like
nationalism and patriotism are considered hopelessly outdated and out of touch
with the so-called New World Order and its priorities of destroying the United
States, all of Western Civilization, and any concept of a limited government
which emphasizes individual liberty and freedom as the ultimate and primary
virtues. All of this and so much more
must now be subordinated to the concept of an all-powerful, all-consuming, and
all-intrusive central government that will control each and every aspect of the
lives of citizens from cradle to grave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Why has
this become the norm in our country today?
Why have tried and true American values like rugged individualism,
personal responsibility, self-reliance, and a fierce defense of American
sovereignty been virtually abandoned by far too many of our fellow
citizens? The answer can be found in the
concept of Far Left Liberalism and its adherents. Those members of the LFE (Liberal Fucking
Elite) absolutely despise the United States and all that it stands for and
represents. There is nothing about our
country that they admire or find the least bit praiseworthy. According to them, America is the sole source
of all the world’s evils and ills. They
ardently believe that we don’t deserve and haven’t earned the wealth, power,
and prestige that we have garnered over the centuries. While Liberals do not constitute a majority
of the American population, they effectively control virtually all of America’s
major and most influential institutions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> They have
a literal death-grip on our news outlets in this country be they print or
electronic. The Far Left, then, controls
and filters whatever news and information is made available to the public. These America-haters have a lock on virtually
all of our entertainment venues from movies to television to publishing. Most importantly and most dangerously,
however, the LFE in our midst controls with an iron fist virtually the entire
educational system in America from pre-K right on up through college and
university. Since at least the 1960’s,
our children have been lied to and propagandized about America and its
past. The LFE has literally brainwashed
America’s children into despising their own country and hating everything about
it. The United States is seen as evil
incarnate and that we are racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic,
Islamophobic, and every other fucking thing you can possibly imagine. America has absolutely no saving graces
whatsoever and must be destroyed as historically founded and presently
constituted. After being brainwashed
with lies and distortions for between twelve and sixteen years, our students
have absolutely no ability to think critically or reason logically. They have been turned into mind-numbed robots
who blindly follow the lead of their Far Left Liberal task masters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This is
especially true where the topic and concept of immigration is concerned. They are advocates of completely open borders
– or no borders at all. They champion
unrestricted immigration to the United States with virtually no standards and
no restrictions on who should and should not be allowed to enter and live in
our country. No vetting and no
background checks should be required but rather anyone from anywhere should be
allowed in here without so much as a bye-your-leave. According to them, American citizenship is a
worthless and outdated construct and should be relegated to the ash heap of
history. Remember, according the LFE
anyone who manages to arrive on American soil has a perfect RIGHT to be here
and there’s not a damned thing that we can or should do about it. We have no choice. If they want to be here, we must just shut up
and take it without a word of protest or dissent. The American citizen is no longer the master
of his own country but must surrender to the One-Worlders and America-Bashers
in our midst. In fact, these folks don’t
want any restrictions on foreigners entering the United States and fervently
believe that we as a nation should not have anything even remotely resembling a
sane and rational immigration policy that puts the needs of America first
because they don’t believe that America should come first. After all, who in the Hell are we to tell
anyone from anywhere that they are not allowed to be here and that they can’t
stay once they arrive? What they are
consciously doing is promoting a foreign invasion of our country and make no
mistake, it is an invasion or, if you will, a hostile take-over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This, by
the way, has not always been the case.
There have been various times in our national history when immigration
was strictly curtailed and controlled and we very carefully restricted who
could and could not emigrate to the United States. In 1882, for example, we passed a law called
the Chinese Exclusion Act which, obviously, discriminated against people from
China who were arriving on our west coast in unmanageable numbers and were not
assimilating into the American mainstream.
This constituted an America First immigration policy because it simply
was not in the nation’s best interest to allow anymore folks from China into
the country in the late 1800’s. Are you
aware that from roughly 1924 to 1965, we stopped almost all immigration into
America from anywhere? That’s right. Those immigrants who were already here needed
time to assimilate – to become Americanized – before we could allow additional
foreigners into our nation. This also
constituted an America First immigration policy and it made perfect and
absolute sense. Our needs were paramount,
the country’s needs were prioritized over and above all others including
prospective immigrants. This was deemed
wise, necessary, and crucial for America’s continued progress and prosperity. We came first, our citizens came first, and
our country came first!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> All of
this came to a crashing halt with the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965,
sponsored by that fat drunk from Massachusetts, Senator Edward –The Swimmer
–Kennedy. Prior to 1965, the vast
majority of immigrants came from Western Europe and were, therefore, products
of Western Civilization. Within a broad
framework, the Europeans who arrived here held to the same mores and values as
did Americans because we were the products of the same or very similar
heritage. Once the language barrier was
overcome, assimilating into American life and culture was not all that
difficult and becoming an American came fairly easily and naturally to
foreigners who hailed from western Europe.
Kennedy and his Far Left Liberal cronies and saboteurs effectively put an
end to that. With the passage of the
Immigration Act of 1965, only about 15% of new immigrants had roots in western
Europe. A full 85% of them were to come
from completely foreign cultures and third-world nations. They had nothing in common with western
culture, mores, or civilization. They
were the poorest of the world’s poor and the idea of becoming an American meant
less than nothing to them. They came
here, for the most part, for the goodies and freebies which the Liberals in our
midst promised them. The Democrats you
see were thinking ahead and planning for the future. They knew that if they made enough promises,
provided newcomers with all manner of assistance like welfare, housing, and
food then these folks and their progeny would reward them at the ballot box
once they become eligible to vote.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> It worked
so well that in recent years a movement has grown up that would allow
noncitizens the right to vote and that movement seems to be growing. Additionally, we have seen the rapid growth and
proliferation of so-called sanctuary cities that defy federal immigration law
and policy and protect foreigners who should not be in our country and have
zero interest in assimilation. These
urban centers are literally becoming foreign enclaves in our midst and the
immigrants residing therein – both legal and illegal – display no loyalty or
love for the United States. In cities
with very large Muslim populations, for example, immigrants refuse to recognize
the legitimacy of the laws governing our nation but rely on Sharia Law. Sharia is one of the most severe forms of
Islam and is completely theocratic in nature.
In places like Dearborn, Michigan, the police won’t even venture into
certain neighborhoods that are dominated by devotees of Sharia. And the Liberals amongst us applaud this and
proudly point to this phenomenon as shining examples of the virtues of
diversity and multiculturalism. In fact,
too much diversity and too much multiculturalism are destroying this great
nation and literally ripping it apart.
It seems that American values, mores, and norms are being trampled on in
favor in favor of globalist concerns.
Our renowned trait of tolerance for the “other” has come back to bite us
right in the ass! We are indeed in
danger of tolerating ourselves to death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for a resurgence of good, old fashioned, “Americanism,” as well as the
proposition that America comes first!
It’s time we realized that our so-called immigration policies are
turning our country into something it was never intended to be and if we do not
begin to adopt a severely restrictive immigration stance, we are in imminent
danger of losing the country. This may
be a hard reality to grasp and comprehend and to many it may seem somewhat
callous and cold-hearted. For far too
long, however, we have ignored the problem of too much immigration by people
who are virtually unassimilatable coming from nations that have a proven track
record of loathing and despising the United States and everything about it. This can only work to our detriment and
eventual demise. There can be no other
reasonable or intelligent conclusion. Do
you know who else recognized this cold, hard reality? Do you know who else feared for the nation if
immigration was not strictly, very strictly, controlled and regulated? No, not some far right wacked out militia
groups clinging to their guns and Bibles.
No, not even some far right politicians looking to lock up the “Nativist”
vote to further their political ambitions.

Fathers, that’s who.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entitled, “Immigration and the Values of our Founding Fathers (</span><a href="http://nationalreview.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://nationalreview.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is relevant here. Author Michelle Malkin
correctly maintains that the Founders, “asserted their concerns publicly and
routinely about the effects of indiscriminate mass migration. They made it clear that the purpose of
allowing foreigners into our fledgling nation was not to attract millions of
new voters or to secure permanent ruling majorities for their political
parties. It was to preserve, protect,
and enhance the republic they put their lives on the line to establish.” That, unfortunately, is no longer the
case. Immigration now no longer serves
to preserve, protect, or enhance our republic.
Instead, it is being used by both political parties to further their own
narrow and narrow-minded interests.
Democrats are looking to increase the ranks of their own party while
Republicans want to ensure the creation and perpetuation of a class of endless,
cheap, unskilled, and uneducated labor.
Neither party has the best interests of the nation or its citizens at
heart. Look around you today and ask
yourself if current immigration policies actually do preserve, protect, and
enhance our republic or, in fact, do they serve to tear it apart and rip it
asunder? Anyone who honestly reflects on
this question already knows the answer.
Our immigration fiasco seems to be purposely designed to do anything but
preserve and protect our citizens and our country and those on the Far Left in
America fervently believe in immigration policies that will do nothing but lead
to our own destruction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

James Madison maintained that it, “it is no doubt very desirable that we should
hold out as many inducements as possible for the worthy part of mankind to come
and settle amongst us, and throw their fortunes into a common lot with
ours.” The caveat here, of course, is
the phrase, “for the worthy part of mankind.”
Madison was making a value judgement here and, yes, he was being
unabashedly discriminatory. Only the
worthy part of mankind would be welcome – all others need not apply. In today’s politically correct and utterly
insane world, our former President would be hung in effigy for this
insensitive, crude, and obviously xenophobic and bigoted remark. After all, who in the Hell are we to pass
judgement on who is and is not worthy of emigrating to the United states? Just who in the fuck do we think we are
anyway? After all, if we deem some to be
worthy then aren’t we saying rather obviously that some are indeed
unworthy? How dare we!?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

another question here. Don’t all of us
decide who is and is not worthy of entering our homes and places of abode? Don’t we do this routinely and
consistently? Of course we do. This is called discrimination and it is both
healthy and necessary. Our homes are our
very special places and entrance is denied to any all deemed unworthy. Only those we want and/or need are given
permission to cross our thresholds. Does
this seem unreasonable? Does this seem
unwarranted? Of course not. Well, America is our house! It is our home. It is where we live, work, and raise our
families. It is our refuge and
sanctuary. The entire population of the
world is NOT welcome here. We have a
perfect right and a duty to be discriminatory as to who should and should not
be allowed in here be it for the short or long term. The LFE amongst us are going to hoot, holler,
and howl at the very idea of immigration policies that discriminate against
anyone from anywhere. We should leave
our windows and doors wide open and unlocked at all times. Anybody and everybody must be welcome in our
homes no matter how unwise and dangerous that might be. The fact that it has the potential to
literally destroy the country matters not a whit to them because they loathe
and despise America. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

noted that the purpose of immigration was not, “merely to swell the catalogue
of people. No, sir, it is to increase
the wealth and strength of the community; and those who acquire the rights of
citizenship, without adding to the strength or wealth of the community are not the people we are in want of.” Madison was right then and he is even more on
point now. If newcomers to our country
detract from the strength and wealth of our community, they should not be
allowed to come here and they certainly should not be permitted to stay. As Madison plainly stated, there are certain
types of people who we want here and others that we don’t. Remember, America is our home and we must
very carefully pick and choose who we allow in.
We must raise the standards by which we decide who can and who cannot be
privileged enough to share the blessings of America with us. The problem here is that far too many
Americans no longer recognize those blessings as valid or legitimate and they
therefore don’t deserve to be jealously guarded and protected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

They utterly deny the concept of American Exceptionalism and somehow
believe that unrestricted immigration and unprotected borders are the way to
go. The idea, for example, of building a
wall on our southern border brings on frenzied bouts of full-blown
hysteria. They delight in the
proliferation of so-called sanctuary cities and proudly point to them as a sign
of their overwhelming compassion for the world’s poor and downtrodden. I wonder where their compassion is for
America’s poor and downtrodden? Where is
their vaunted compassion when it comes to the American citizen? Why do they hold foreigners in such high
regard without seeming to give a rat’s ass about their own country? They seem to celebrate all things foreign and
anti-American and utterly denigrate anything and anybody who loves, honors, and
reveres this country. Madison agreed
that America should welcome immigrants who wanted to assimilate but should
absolutely exclude those foreigners who could not or would not become part of
the American mainstream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

assimilated to our customs, measures, laws: in a word soon become one
people.” One people – Americans
all. That dream seems to be fading
fast. In 21<sup>st</sup> Century
America, we are looking less and less like one people but in fact are becoming,
“Balkanized.” We have devolved into
practicing what’s become known as identity politics and the Liberals amongst us
have elevated it to an art form. They
are constantly pitting one interest group against another and have been far too
successful at emphasizing our differences over and above what should draw and
bind us together. They create as much
conflict and chaos as they can and promise each special interest group that
they will rectify and make right any and all grievances they might have, real
or imagined. They seem to believe that
disunity and discontent should be promoted and perpetuated instead of
emphasizing those qualities that bring us together as one unified people with

on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be clearly
connected with birth, education, and family.”
Hamilton also noted that, “the United States have already felt the evils
of incorporating a large number of foreigners into their national mass; by
promoting in different classes different predilections in favor of particular
foreign nations, and antipathies against others, it has served very much to
divide the community and to distract our councils. It has been often likely to compromise the
interests of our own country in favor of another.” Hamilton’s fears seem to have been justified
and his warnings were actually prophetic.
The interests of our own country seem to have been sacrificed on the
altar of political correctness, diversity, and multiculturalism. These three pillars of Liberal orthodoxy are
literally destroying this nation and this is being done purposely and with
malice aforethought. Hamilton continued
that the, “permanent effect of such a policy will that be in times of great
public danger there will always be a numerous body of men of whom there may be
just grounds of distrust, the suspicion alone will weaken the strength of the
nation, but their force may be actually employed in assisting an invader.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Do you
think Mr. Hamilton was being paranoid here or should we heed his warning of so
many years ago? Think back to our
history during World War ll when we literally sent Japanese immigrants and
citizens to internment camps. This, of
course, has been roundly condemned by those Americans who did not live through
that era. At the time, however, it made
perfect sense and was seen as absolutely necessary given what happened on
December 7, 1941. Today we face the same
fear regarding radical, extremist Islam.
Given what’s happened here and around the world, are these fears not
understandable and justified? Should we
not distrust an ideology that has sworn to destroy us and has proven time and
again that there are those among them who are perfectly willing and eager to
die to make the dream of our destruction a reality? Hamilton also asserted that America’s very
survival depends upon, “the preservation of a national spirit and a national
character.” He wisely insisted that to,
“admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens the moment they
put foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse
into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.” Michelle Malkin concludes her article by
insisting that, “unrestricted open borders are unwise, unsafe, and
un-American. A country that doesn’t
value its own citizens and sovereignty first won’t endure as a country for
long.” She’s absolutely right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

explains that contrary, “to what most Americans may believe, in fact, the
Founding Fathers were by and large skeptical of immigration. If the United States lacked particular
skills, then the Founders had no objection to attracting them from abroad. But they were convinced that mass immigration
would bring social turmoil and political confusion in its wake.” The author notes that Thomas Jefferson asked,
“are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the scale against the advantage
expected by a multiplication of numbers by the importation of foreigners?” Author Tom Woods suggested that according to
Jefferson, “immigrants would come to America from countries that would have
given them no experience living in a free society. They would bring with them the ideas and
principles of the governments they left behind – ideas and principles that were
often at odds with American liberty.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> How many
immigrants living in America today have absolutely no experience in dealing
with a democratic form of government?
Democracy, voting, and the responsibilities of living in a
constitutional republic are completely outside their realm of experience and
personal histories. Many of today’s
immigrants come from countries that loathe and despise the United States, its
heritage, and traditions. They have been
taught since childhood that America is an evil nation filled with nothing but
animosity for those who come from somewhere else. Many immigrants from the Middle East, for
example, have been taught since infancy that America is the Great Satan. Can we really expect these folks to disavow
these notions once they arrive on our shores?
Jefferson pointedly asked, “Suppose 20 millions of republican Americans
were thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that
kingdom?” Jefferson answered that, “If
it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe that the addition
of half a million foreigners to our present numbers would produce a similar
effect here.” Look around you,
folks. We admit to our nation something
like one million immigrants per year and these are the ones who arrive here
legally. Estimates of the number of
illegal aliens in this country range anywhere from twelve to thirty
million. Additionally, the entire
concept and reality of assimilation is all but nonexistent in present-day
America. Jefferson was right to worry
and his fears are even more relevant today.
Unrestricted immigration and wide open borders will absolutely destroy
the United States and we will have no one to blame but ourselves. We let it happen and it may be too late to
reverse the damage. This is precisely
and exactly what the LFE in our midst so ardently desires for their hatred for
their own country seemingly has no limits or bounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author
notes that Alexander Hamilton was once again right on point when it came to
immigration. He correctly maintained
that the, “influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a
heterogeneous compound; to change and corrupt the national spirit; to
complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign
propensities.” He continued that, “In
the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all-important,
and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious
tendency.” An injurious tendency is an
understatement if we honestly evaluate what our out of control, so-called
immigration policy has wrought on the nation in recent decades. The Founders would be outraged if they could
see what we have done to the magnificent republic they created. George Washington was again cynical when it
came to immigration. He stated that the,
“policy or advantage of its taking place in a body (I mean the settling them in
a body) may be much questioned: for by so doing, they retain the language,
habits, and principles (good or bad) which they bring with them.” He went on to say that there wasn’t even a
need for us to encourage immigration, “except of useful mechanics and some
particular descriptions of men or professions.”
Washington had it right as did all of the Founders on the immigration
issue. He believed that immigration to
our country should be strictly limited and restricted. Only those foreigners with skills that we
lacked as a country should be allowed to permanently reside in the new
nation. Only those who could contribute
to the health and prosperity of the country would be allowed to come here. In other words, immigration policy should
focus solely on the needs and requirements of the United States. If individuals or groups from other lands
couldn’t do that, then we simply had no use for them. If they couldn’t contribute positively to the
nation’s well-being then they must not be allowed to settle here. Our Founders passionately insisted that
America’s needs indeed came first.
Perhaps they can accurately be called the original, “American Firsters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is instructive here. The author explains
that this, “New nation, which became the United States of America in the late
18<sup>th</sup> century, came to welcome immigrants from many other countries
of the world who wanted to experience the freedom and unique way of life that
this extraordinary new land provided.”
Back then, however, new Americans had, “to provide proof of how they
could support themselves, a skill that would allow them to work in their new
country, that they were healthy, and several things were assumed, that they
would learn to speak English, and that they would become American.” Sadly, even tragically, far too many of our
current crop of newcomers seem to have abandoned the effort to learn our
language and increasing numbers have absolutely no desire or intention of
becoming Americans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> How did
this happen? Simple really. We let it happen. We have ignored the advice and the warnings
of the Founding Fathers because far too many Americans truly believe that these
long dead white guys are no longer relevant for the United States in the year
2017. It is absolutely true that whenever
we have ignored the wisdom of the Founders, we have done so at our own
peril. The men who created this great
nation knew full well that immigration was fraught with danger and had the
potential to one day destroy our nation as historically founded and presently
constituted. Well, I’m afraid that day
has arrived. Immigration is completely
out of control and is, in fact, bringing this nation to its knees. Those who don’t recognize this stark reality
are not living in the real world. Those
who can’t accept the fact that current immigration policies have been purposely
designed to destroy us as a cohesive national entity are like the proverbial
ostrich with its head buried in the sand!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author
continues that what the new immigrant was expected to do was not easy, “as they
had to do whatever was necessary to create the new life they wanted on their
own, as no none was given anything, each new American had to make it on his or
own. But the ultimate reward, to become
an American was worth the extraordinary effort that these brave men and women
expended.” Do you notice a difference
between then and now? Of course you do.
In today’s culture, the new immigrant is given virtually anything and
everything they need and/or want by simply showing up. They come here not with open hearts but rather
with open hands. The new immigrant comes
here knowing full well that the welfare benefits will be forthcoming just for
the asking. They come here knowing and
banking on the fact that they’ll live far better here than they did in whatever
nation they hailed from and that they wouldn’t have to work for it. Food, housing, clothing, and anything else
you can imagine would be provided in quantities they wouldn’t have imagined in
their homelands. Life on the dole here
is far more preferable to life in the third-world shitholes they used to call
home. These are not the kinds of
immigrants envisioned by the Founders when the nation was new. These newcomers do not add to the health,
wealth, and continued greatness of the nation but rather would detract from it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

development make it all the more tragic that the left has distorted this
history into the pathetic version of a multi-cultural mess that they have
promoted and that falsely claim was our raison d’etre (reason for being) all
along.” The author correctly points out
that under, “leftist rule, there are pretty much no rules for people newly
coming into this nation, (only against white Europeans), and the more illiterate,
diseased, destitute third worlders the better.”
In addition, “America remains a paradise for these immigrants, but a
leftist version of paradise: they don’t have to become American, what does that
mean anyway and who cares? They don’t
have to speak English, they don’t need money or a skill to find a job,
everything will be provided for them through the labors of those who have come
before, and who comprehend how special it is to be American.” And therein lies the fucking rub! Far too many immigrants not to mention our
own countrymen no longer believe that being an American is something special or
that our country is indeed exceptional.
This is more than merely sad and disturbing but rather is utterly tragic
and can mean nothing less than our demise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

nationalism, pride in country, and patriotism the nation cannot long
survive. It spells the demise of the
greatest country the world has ever seen.
Of this there can be no doubt.
There also can be no doubt that this is what the Far Liberal Left so
fervently desires and is working to accomplish.
The piece continues that far too many of those coming to this country as
well as our own citizens feel that, “America is no more special than any other
nation. Even the unlivable hellholes
from which they came, so it’s perfectly fine to come here, accept our largesse
and stay what and who you are, no matter how detrimental to America, or even to
the new citizen.” Furthermore, the
author of the piece asserts that for too many, “it’s no longer important to
understand, help, and/or love the country, it’s only a means to an end to be
able to acquire a cell phone, a big screen TV, any health care you may need,
and those wonderful new trainers, among many other bennies.” Additionally, “whatever more stuff you may
want, just demand it, and if you don’t get it quickly enough, steal it and if
these 2016 tried and true methods don’t work, riot until you get it.” The author notes that we have become a, “sad

Just a tad bit paranoid with a huge dose of conspiracy theory thrown in for good measure? This scenario sounds like it might be a candidate for some low budget, low talent, and thoroughly unimaginative cable television production to be aired at about three o’clock on a Monday morning. Are there those out there who really, truly, and sincerely believe that something like this is even remotely possible or conceivable? We’ve all heard, I suppose, of conspiracy theories and theorists. Some have dealt with government and government cabals. Some have dealt with dreams to overthrow an existing system and replace it with some form of visionary, mythical utopia. Still others have dealt with military coups and overthrowing the existing order. Most of us upon hearing of some kind of evil, nefarious, and Byzantine plot to establish a New World Order take it with the proverbial grain of salt, a mild chuckle, and an amused shake of the head. We are far too busy with the vagaries and vicissitudes of daily life to spend much time contemplating such concepts as shadow governments, conspiracy theories, or black helicopter sightings.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

They set about convincing as many of their countrymen as possible to join the cause and risk life and limb to succeed because failure meant certain death and the death of their vision. If the revolution succeeded, they were hailed as heroes and seers. If their cause was crushed by the existing power structure, they would quickly be forgotten.

They were, in fact, conspirators and actively conspired against a tyrannical form of government that no longer served their needs and interests. Their Revolution succeeded and names like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, et al are revered to this day. Had our Revolution failed, no one today would know who they were. The same can be said of the French, Russian, and Chinese Revolutions. They all began with a relatively small group of conspirators determined to overthrow the existing order and implement their own new and improved version.

After all, monarchy-absolutism was the only form of government these folks had ever experienced or even heard of. To them, it was the normal and natural state of affairs and it was assumed that the Old General would readily accede to the wishes of his countrymen. To their surprise and to his everlasting credit, Washington refused and informed his fellow Americans that we as a nation were through with absolute, monarchical rule. In our new nation, decision-making would become a bottom up affair rather than one from the top down as had always been the case throughout world history. Washington, of course, became America’s first president and completed two terms in office. After his second term, he was asked to run for a third and undoubtedly would have won. Once again, however, he surprised and probably shocked his fellow Americans by refusing to continue in office. Instead, he voluntarily relinquished the power of the Presidency and returned to private life. In his view, citizens had a duty to serve but only for a limited time. After public service, the office-holder was expected to return to the private sector and get on with his former occupation-avocation-profession.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

President Washington, then, set one of the most important precedents in American history: the two-term presidency. That concept and tradition held up until the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. That patrician was elected for an unheard of four times and had he not died in office, he would have been our nation’s leader for sixteen consecutive years. Have you ever heard the term known as the Imperial Presidency? Some say it dates back to old FDR and his disregard for the tradition established by our first President. The primary reason for Roosevelt’s breaking with the two-term tradition was that the nation was in deep, deep crisis and needed one man and only one man to save the country first from the Great Depression and then World War ll. Americans decided to put a Constitutional limit on presidential terms in office as a reaction against FDR’s unprecedented rejection of a long-held and cherished American tradition. In 1951, Congress passed the 22<sup>nd</sup> Amendment to our Constitution which quite simply stated that, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.” How’s that for both clarity and brevity? Two terms is it and then you’re outta there!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

You see, Obama despises this country as historically founded and presently constituted. He loathes the United States of America and literally everything he did from his first day in office was designed to bring our nation to its knees and undermine our standing in the world community. There’s nothing that he did or that he wanted to do that wasn’t intentionally designed to harm the United States and there are no exceptions that can be cited to refute this charge. Not one. We can go back as far as his constant Apologize for America Tours every single time he traveled abroad. We can look at the fact that he purposely, consistently, and constantly undermined our nation’s military and intelligence services. He is an avid and rabid anti-Capitalist and absolutely abhors the concept of a limited, nonintrusive federal government which is one of our Founding Principles. He increased the size and power of our behemoth central government at every turn and thereby reduced the level of individual rights and freedoms that America has been so famous for. I give you as but two examples both Obamacare and Obamacore as well as the unprecedented growth of federal agencies like the EPA as yet another (see The Obamacare Rationing Rant of 4/15/12, The Obamacore Rant of 7/29/13, or The Environmental Protection Agency Rant of 5/28/13). <o:p></o:p></span><br />

He cared nothing at all for our history, traditions, and institutions that made the United States the greatest nation in the history of nations. He absolutely despises the very real concept of American Exceptionalism and is convinced that we are no better and are probably far worse than any other national entity that has ever existed on the planet (see the American Exceptionalism Rant of 11/7/11). He is, in fact, deeply ashamed of America and our past and ardently believes that we do not deserve the power, wealth, and influence that we have garnered over the centuries. According to him and his ilk, the United States constitutes the worst scourge in planetary history and they can point to absolutely nothing positive about America. According to them, the United States has no redeeming features whatsoever and we must be made to pay a heavy price for the supposed transgressions we have committed against the people of the world and our own population. Given this guy’s pedigree and bone fides, I became convinced that he’d be a one-term President. Surely, the American electorate would never give this anti-American yutz a second term. It just couldn’t happen. I guess I’ll never have much of a future in the field of political consultancy.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

He wants to assume the role of a dictatorial autocrat who is answerable to absolutely nobody and nothing – especially the American people. He and his fellow travelers view the people and our magnificent Constitution as nothing but impediments in their quest for total control and unobstructed power. According to those on the Far Left, you see, we are not capable of running our own lives, let alone the country. We are not nearly enlightened enough, wise enough, or capable enough to make the weighty and difficult decisions regarding our country’s future. We must sit quietly by and defer to those who are obviously far more qualified than we are. We the people are viewed as no more than mere annoyances by our “betters” and we have absolutely no business at all offering any input as to how the country should be governed or run. We are to keep our mouths shut and obey. We must never be so presumptuous or so arrogant as to assume we have any ideas or solutions that just might improve the manner in which the nation is governed or the direction in which it is headed. This is simply not the task for us little people. We must not worry our tiny, fuzzy brains, our inadequate intellect over such issues. Instead, we must leave the fate of our nation in the ever so capable hands of those who would tear the country asunder and rip it apart.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The Brother-in-Chief would find a way to remain in office. Somehow, some way he wasn’t going to leave. After all, he and his Far Left cronies still had more damage to inflict and since he has repeatedly and gleefully stomped all over our Constitution and has treated it no better than a door mat upon which to wipe his muddy boots, circumventing the 22<sup>nd</sup> Amendment should not be much of an obstacle for the Saboteur-in-Chief. How, I wondered, would he accomplish his nefarious goal? Maybe he’d just refuse to step down. You know, just barricade himself in the Oval Office and stage some sort of palace coup. That would be an historical first for us. Perhaps he’d find a crisis to exploit or maybe even manufacture so he could become the indispensable man without whom the nation could simply not properly function. Could he perhaps find an excuse to declare marshal law throughout the land thus obliterating the long-held tradition of Posse Comitatus? I’ve literally had “Day-Mares” about the possibilities here. I became convinced that he’d find a way to hang on and continue his mission of destroying this country. Go ahead and call me paranoid with delusional tendencies thrown in there. Go on, tell me I’m a whacked out conspiracy theorist-nut job who has lost his grip on reality. I’m just conjuring up impossible-improbable fantasies to compensate for the fact that I’ve got nothing better to do with my time or my life. Let’s face it. I was wrong.

In addition, his narcissism is so overblown that he cannot imagine a scenario in which he is not the center of attention and public adulation. It’s simply not in his makeup and you can bet the ranch that he’ll be with us until the day he takes his last breath. The first indication that he has no intention of quietly fading away is his stated objective of taking up residence in our nation’s capitol after his stint at being President was over. He has, in fact, acted on that desire and is renting a five million dollar mansion only a few miles away from the White House. He claims to be doing this so that his daughter can finish up high school in the same place she started so as to disrupt her life as little as possible. Alright, let’s give him that one and allow that he’s hanging around because he’s an exemplary father who wants to right by his kids. Nonetheless, he’s one of the only – if not the only – former Presidents who has not gotten the Hell out of Dodge at the earliest possible moment. They’ve all headed for the tall grass, gone home, and began plans for their presidential libraries and repositories. Not so old Barry Boy. He’s here to stay. Another indication that our 44<sup>th</sup> President would not just graciously fade away was his declared intention to go back to his former “profession” of being a community organizer. Yeah, he actually said that with a perfectly straight face. I thought he’d go back to “Chi-Town” to return to his rabble-rousing roots. When I learned he was taking up residence in DC, it became obvious that he fully intended to engage in said rabble-rousing as close to the seat of American power as possible.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There exist other more tangible proofs that the former community agitator will be with us far into the foreseeable future. Have you ever heard of an outfit called Organizing for America? I hadn’t either. OFA was no more and no less than Obama’s 2012 campaign organization which was a nonprofit group that advocated for President Obama’s policies and priorities. Well, nothing really unusual or sinister here. All presidents and presidential hopefuls have similar organizations, committees, working groups, etc. They exist to promote a candidate’s or a president’s political and social agendas. There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly nefarious here. Nothing to see folks, just move along. An article entitled, “Obama’s Organizing for Action Partners With Soros-Linked Indivisible to Disrupt Trump’s Agenda (</span><a href="http://www.breitbart.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.breitbart.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,” explains that this relatively benign sounding organization became far more than that under the name Organizing for Action. The piece notes that, “Organizing for Action, the activist group that morphed from Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign, has partnered with the newly-formed Indivisible Project for online training on how to protest President Donald Trump’s agenda.” Well, isn’t that interesting? A former President seems to be attempting to sabotage the agenda of our sitting President. I really can’t think of a situation which quite parallels this. The former president had his eight years to accomplish his anti-American agenda but can’t seem to afford President Trump the courtesy of trying to implement his pro-American agenda. Barack Obama is determined to undermine Trump at every turn in order to protect his so-called legacy of tearing this country apart.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The author notes that former, “President Obama is waging war against the Trump administration through his generously funded agitation outfit, Organizing for Action, to defend his monumentally destructive record of failure and violent polarization. It is a chilling reminder that the increasingly aggressive, in-your-face Left in this country is on the march.” This is not merely bombast or hyperbole. It is factually correct and should bother-worry any American who places faith in our political institutions and traditions to keep our ship of state on course. Obama and his minions are attempting no less than a silent coup the likes of which this country has never seen. Additionally, “Obama has an army of agitators – numbering more than 30,000 – who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.” The piece continues that in, “what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government not only to protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular America First agenda.” This is a telling point and one that must never be forgotten. The very idea, the very concept of America First is anathema to those on the Far Left in our country.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

To them, the notion of nationalism is an outdated construct that no longer applies in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century. There is simply no place for it in today’s world. They are globalists and one-worlders and despise the old notion of the sovereign nation-state. They want to do away with concepts like borders and national sovereignty. They are Hell-bent on subverting our language, culture, and anything else that unites our population as Americans with one flag and one overwhelming loyalty. Those who still believe in America are throwbacks, dinosaurs, and anachronisms who have no place and no business even expressing their opinions regarding America’s place in the New World Order that has become the Far Left’s utopian fantasy. We must no longer place our faith and allegiance in our own institutions, traditions, and heritage. We must instead rely on international institutions and organizations like the United Nations and the World Court to decide the fate and direction of our nation.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The article asks, “What is Organizing for Action?” The answer is one we should not forget because it explains the mindset and tactics that the Far Left employs to achieve its goals of not merely undermining President Trump’s agenda but subverting long-held and established American traditions. The piece maintains that Organizing for Action, “is a less violent version of Mussolini’s black shirts and Hitler’s brown shirts, or of some government-supported goon squads that Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Cuba’s Castro brothers used to harass and intimidate their domestic opponents.” Perhaps you might want to read that last sentence just one more time. It’s really one Hell of a statement and an indictment. Comparing Obama’s minions to fascists like Hitler and Mussolini? I thought charges like this were reserved exclusively for those among us who are deemed to be Conservative. In fact, it is those on the Far Left who are dangerous to our nation’s continued success and greatness. It is the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) in our midst that routinely compares Republicans and Conservatives to authoritarian dictators and power-mad egomaniacs when in fact the opposite is actually the reality.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

There is no question about this. If you have any doubts here, just look at the behavior and antics of groups like the New Black Panthers, the Occupy Wall Street crowd, the Black Lives Matter mobs, or any of the so-called protestors at any town-hall meeting of Republican politicians. They are always and inevitably disruptive and violent. They are designed to be confrontational. They employ intimidation and fear to silence their opponents at every turn. They deny to those that oppose them their sacred rights to freedom of speech and expression and they always claim to do so in furtherance of some nebulous concept known as the, “greater good.” It is the Far Left among us that constantly uses tactics that are decidedly and unabashedly un-American and yet they in their spurious self-righteousness accuse their opponents of using these very tactics. This is classic Liberalism – accuse your enemies of exactly that behavior of which they are in fact guilty of perpetrating. It is a classic technique used to place your opponents on the defensive and render them completely ineffective.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Additionally, Obama’s Organizing for Action runs another project called the Community Organizing Institute (COI). What exactly is this, you might ask? This arm of Obama’s army of subversives is described as one that builds, “upon the rich history of community organizing in Chicago,” and that, “the COI is a place to share stories, best practices, and innovations in order to build our community and empower individuals in the fight for change. It is a shared space for organizers, policy makers, advocates, and change-agents to come together for workshops, panel discussions, presentations, training, film screenings, and social gatherings – building a strong foundation for partnerships.” Well, doesn’t that sound ever so benign and non-threatening? Sounds like a place for like-minded individuals to get together, identify problems, and propose solutions. What could possibly be wrong with that? Nothing at all, until you understand that this is no more than Liberal-Speak and that nothing in the Liberal lexicon is ever what it seems to be. The author of the piece provides the appropriate translation for those of us who speak American. The article continues, “Translation: At COI you can learn how to spark riots, get arrested to make a political statement, organize lynch mobs and voter fraud on a massive scale, intimidate and shake down corporations, blackmail lenders, race-bait public officials and businesses into submission, smear and terrorize your opponents, shield illegal immigrants from law enforcement, lead squatters to invade foreclosed homes, encourage welfare fraud, and use tax dollars to promote cockamamie social engineering schemes.” These are the preferred tactics of the Far Left amongst us and especially our very own Community Organizer-in-Chief. They are utterly subversive and unfortunately they are extremely effective.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Why won’t this guy just go away? Why can’t he be satisfied with the destruction he has already wrought on our country? The answer can be found in the simple but profound concept of legacy. Obama wants his so-called legacy to continue far beyond his term in office. He wants his presidency to be considered a watershed of sorts that will set him apart from and above all those who had served before him. He wants to be forever remembered as the President who fundamentally transformed the United States into some grotesque reincarnation of what the Founding Fathers created all those years ago. He wants to undo their magnificent legacy to future generations of Americans and replace it with his own dark and sinister version. This is why Obama backed Hillary in our most recent presidential contest. He knew that she would build upon and reinforce the destruction he initiated. Through her, his legacy would continue far into the future and that she in all probability would double-down on it. Had she been elected as had been widely and loudly predicted, the Wanna-Be Dictator’s legacy would have been secured and the damage he inflicted on our nation would continue unabated.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Donald Trump, however, could not be trusted to do the same. Throughout the campaign, Trump vowed to deconstruct the Socialist-in Chief’s malevolent rampage through our nation’s institutions and traditions. Well, the Pant-Suit lost and Ol’ Barry Boy felt threatened and with good reason. Trump ran for the Presidency promising to fix the damage Obama had inflicted. Our new President, therefore, must be stopped. Obama, for example, is an advocate of the Far Left’s Open Border Policy as befits a true globalist and one-worlder. Who in the Hell are we to keep anyone from entering our country if they so desired? How dare we even attempt to protect our borders, language, and culture? Trump’s gonna build The Wall to do just that. Obama’s signature piece of legislation and the defining element of his entire Presidency was the Affordable Care Act – you know, Obamacare. This utterly unconstitutional and thoroughly anti-American piece of legislation has certainly helped fulfill Obama’s threat to fundamentally transform this nation into something it was never intended to be. It belies the very essence and concept of a limited and nonintrusive federal government. With Obamacare, the government literally took control of over one-sixth of the nation’s economy and greatly reduced the level of individual freedom that has been a hallmark of the American experience. Once the government controls your health and health care, it virtually controls the lives of each and every citizen in the nation. There is not one single thing, not one single activity that in some manner cannot be related to health and health care. You can’t think of one, can you? Me neither. Obamacare ensures that we will be controlled more than ever before by an all intrusive, all powerful central government. What has Trump sworn to do? Get rid of it – repeal and replace it. Well, Obama and the Boys simply can’t tolerate that. Trump must be stopped by any and all means possible. They couldn’t prevent him from being elected but they can do their damndest to make him and his administration completely impotent and incapable of accomplishing their goals and visions for America.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” The manual additionally urges the town hall saboteurs to ask hostile questions while keeping a firm hold on the mic – and loudly boo the GOP politician if he isn’t giving you real answers.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

We are supposed to believe that these are spontaneous, grass-roots outbursts by frustrated and disgruntled Republican voters. We are supposed to believe that these outbursts are truly heart-felt and express the righteous anger and indignation felt by Trump supporters who have become deeply disappointed with the President’s performance in office thus far. Nothing could be further from the truth. These so-called protestors are nothing more than “plants” who purposely disrupt Republican held events. They are nothing more than saboteurs. Additionally, the manual urges protestors to flood the offices of GOP lawmakers with demands for the resignation of top Trump appointees and officials. The manual even provides a script that tells protestors to repeat that, “I’m honestly scared that a known racist and anti-Semite will be working just feet from the Oval Office – it is everyone’s business if a man who promoted white supremacy is serving as an adviser to the president.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

This is nothing more than standard operating procedure for those on the Far Left. Somehow they manage to make smoke without any fire. Charges are never, ever substantiated but instead are just levelled. Proof is not necessary to put their opposition on the defensive and defensive positions rarely lead to progress or solutions. They only serve to make those charged look guilty. This tactic comes right out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals and has been quite successful over the decades. The web piece notes that Organizing for Action has more than 250 offices nationwide and more than 32,000 organizers, with another 25,000 in the process of being trained. Additionally, these “aren’t typical Black Lives Matter or Occupy Wall Street marchers, but rather professionally trained organizers who go through a six-week training program similar to the training – steeped in Alinsky agitation tactics – Obama received in Chicago when he was a community organizer.” Indeed, “Chicago socialist Saul Alinsky, known by the left as the father of community organizing, taught radicals to rub raw the sores of discontent and create the conditions for a revolution.” Yup, you guessed right. Mr. Alinsky is one of Obama’s key role models and he follows Alinsky’s advice like the good Leftist saboteur that he is.

Those of you who fall into this camp simply don’t understand the Far Left in our nation. Most Americans find it difficult to believe that an elected two-term president of our country would actively engage in subversive activities directed at his duly elected successor. And in truth, it’s really tough to accept the fact that it’s absolutely true. Throughout our history, we’ve never experienced anything like this so we’ve really got no reference point for comparison. We have to process this with virtually no precedents or past examples to point to. This is an entirely new concept for us to analyze, digest, and assimilate into the way we view our political system. Obama had his eight-year stint to rampage through our Constitution and I believe he did more damage to the nation than all of his 43 predecessors combined. The point here is that the damage wreaked by El Destructo was done purposely and with malice aforethought. No other President, I believe, purposely set out to bring our country to its knees and weaken us to the point where our allies no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. That’s one Hell of a legacy the Brother-in-Chief has racked up for himself and the fact that he’s damned proud of it should come as absolutely no surprise. He has done and will continue to do whatever he can to not only undermine President Trump but the United States as well. Most of us absolutely cannot fathom just how deeply and pathologically those on the Far Left loathe and despise our country. Until you come to grips with the fact that there are tens upon tens of millions of our fellow citizens out there who really do feel this way, you’re never going to understand those on the Far Left in our midst.

The author explains that, “America’s next president will inherit more than a bitterly divided nation teetering on the brink of financial catastrophe when he or she assumes office. He will also inherit a shadow government, one that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country.” The author actually identifies two separate shadow governments. The first shadow government is referred to as a COG or continuity of government and, “is made up of unelected individuals who have been appointed to run the government in the event of a catastrophe.” The writer opines that this first shadow government is, “a phantom menace waiting for the right circumstances – a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, an economic meltdown – to bring it out of the shadows, where it operates even now.” The second Shadow Government, “referred to as the Deep State, is comprised of unelected government bureaucrats, corporations, contractors, paper-pushers, and button-pushers who are actually calling the shots behind the scenes right now.” It is this second shadow government, “which poses the greater threat to our freedoms. This permanent, corporatized, militarized entrenched bureaucracy is unaffected by elections, unaltered by populist movement, and beyond the reach of the law.” The piece continues that, “these shadow governments, which operate beyond the reach of the Constitution and with no real accountability to the citizenry, are the reason why we the people have no control over our government.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Is the author of this piece just one more conspiracy nut who is experiencing a full-blown paranoia attack? Is he just one more example of some poor schmuck who has neglected to take his “meds” on a regular basis? I sincerely hope so because if he’s really on to something here then our country is truly in deep, deep trouble. If this fellow is on the right track, then our entire political process and system is no more than a sham - a giant, grotesque charade. If he’s even close to being correct, it means that we the people count for absolutely nothing and going to the polls and exercising our all-important right to vote for our leaders and deciding the direction our nation will take is completely meaningless and irrelevant. It further means that our Constitution as well as the entire American Revolution have been completely undermined and rendered obsolete. It means that all of us regardless of political affiliation have been hoodwinked and bamboozled into thinking that our voices actually make a difference when, in fact, what we want, desire, and believe matters not at all. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I fear, however, that the guy just might be on to something here. There does exist, especially at the federal level, a huge and permanent government beauracracy without which government grinds to a shrieking halt. These are the folks that actually implement government policy when their bosses finally decide what those policies will be. These are the folks who actually get things done. They are the troops on the ground and have been in place since forever. In the Executive Branch alone, for example, there are over four thousand positions that must be filled and it’s gotten to the point where our Federal government has become the nation’s single largest employer. So much for the limited government envisioned and implemented by our Founding Fathers. The problem with our permanent beauracracy is that it is largely composed of Democrat voters if not actual party “apparachniks.” How’s that for a blanket, sweeping statement? Why do you suppose that President Trump’s first few months in office have been plagued by delays, seeming confusion, and out and out leaks of material that was never intended to be made public. When a Republican is elected to the Presidency, there appears to be a distinct up-tick in this kind of activity. There seems to be a concerted effort to make his Presidency as ineffectual and impotent as possible which the Democrats desperately hope will boost their chances for success as the 2018 midterm elections loom ever closer. If this is what is meant by a Shadow Government, then there is no doubt that it indeed exists and that it is negatively affecting our political process. </span><br />

They write memoirs, serve on corporate boards, and start charitable foundations. George W. Bush retired to his ranch in Texas and, most recently, painted portraits of veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.” This has indeed been the case with almost all of our former Presidents. But of course, “then there is Obama. Less than a month out of office, the broad contours of Obama’s post-presidency career are already taking shape. Obama and his loyalists, it seems, will remain in the center of the political fray, officially and unofficially, in an organized effort to undermine the Trump administration.” Thus far, the efforts to sabotage the new administration have been quite successful.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

In fact, “Flynn’s resignation was prompted by a series of coordinated and anonymous leaks from current and former Obama administration officials in our domestic intelligence agencies.” Additionally these, “are part of a larger, loosely organized effort now underway to preserve Obama’s legacy. This effort involves Obama-era officials still inside the federal government, former Obama staffers working in the private sector, and Obama himself.” Yup, Obama himself. I’m tellin’ ya, this guy just ain’t goin’ away. The author maintains that this, “isn’t some conspiracy theory. After the election, Obama indicated he intends to stay involved in the political fray. In an email to his supporters on his last day in office, Obama encouraged them to stay engaged, promising I’ll be right there with you every step of the way.” Indeed, “Less than two weeks later, he issued a statement saying he was heartened by anti-Trump protests over the executive order on immigration.” The piece concludes by noting that, “Obama had eight years in the White House to secure his legacy. Any efforts on his part to undermine his successor aren’t just an affront to the principles of our democracy, they’re an admission that he and his acolytes never put much stock in democracy to begin with.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

His allies, the Leftists in media, will be the relentless Gestapo propaganda arm of Obama’s anti-American shadow government. They are acting in concert with Obama to make certain Trump cannot restore America to greatness.” The author of the piece accurately opines that, “Making America great again is not what the Leftarts want to see – ever! In their world America must continue to be cut down in decline, her wealth squandered and distributed to her enemies, and her people rendered ignorant and parasitic beneath the Democrat yoke.” The piece concludes that, “Eight years of Obamaism and ten years of Democrat policies have left America in a shambles with a weak economy, a weak military, a disintegrating social structure, and a foreign policy that has set the world on fire. Democrats have enabled criminals to run rampant and foreign invaders to not only pour over America’s borders, but to infest Europe.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

know. How can the Pledge of Allegiance
in any manner shape, or form be deemed anti-American or possibly
un-American? At first glance, this seems
to be completely and sublimely oxymoronic.
I distinctly remember reciting the Pledge with hand over heart every
single school day beginning in elementary school right on through 12<sup>th</sup>
grade. I did not feel coerced or
pressured into doing so. I did not feel
in any way put upon nor did I join my classmates in reciting the Pledge out of
a sense of peer pressure or fear of retribution if I failed to
participate. Reciting the Pledge was
simply something one did. One did not
question the exercise, one did not dissect it, and one did not over think
it. It was done. It was simply the way we started each and every
day. It was normal, routine, and
actually quite comforting. In fact, the
exercise was reassuring. As I moved on
through the grades, the Pledge remained a constant. I knew that it was something that was
expected of me. It was an obligation, a
duty, and a requirement that must not be shirked, avoided, or neglected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> In my very
early school days, I really didn’t quite understand the meaning of the words
contained in the Pledge nor did I comprehend its purpose or its
importance. After all, at that age who
could be expected to do anything more than recite the Pledge and get on with
the rest of the day? As I moved into
junior high and then high school, however, I distinctly remember wondering why
each day began with the Pledge, what the words contained therein actually
meant, and why it was deemed so important.
I actually took the time to read the thing, attempted to study it, and
reflect upon why it was required. I
asked a few of my teachers what the exercise really meant. I asked my parents as well. Their answers did not satisfy my
curiosity. I was informed that it was
simply what was done at the beginning of every school day and I was expected to
be content with that explanation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> I pretty much
let it go at that. After all, why get so
worked up or bent out of shape over something as seemingly innocuous, harmless,
and innocent as the Pledge of Allegiance?
Why get my shorts all in a twist over something so mundane and
inoffensive as the Pledge? Who could
possibly object to it, find fault with it, or attribute some deep, dark,
nefarious meaning to it? Nobody,
right? If you agree here, you’d be
wrong. Some years ago, I realized that
not just a few of my fellow citizens found the Pledge not just objectionable
but something that is inherently evil, intrusive, and thoroughly
propagandistic. I have since been
informed by too many supposedly intelligent folks that our Pledge of Allegiance
must be discontinued or done away with.
Failing that, students should not be forced to recite the thing. Reciting the Pledge should only be done
voluntarily and those students who choose not to participate would not have to
stand or place hands on hearts as classmates performed the traditional
ceremony.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

knew that the Pledge of Allegiance was all that controversial, odious, or
objectionable. I didn’t realize that so
many of our fellow citizens could possibly object to such a long standing,
time-honored American tradition. I
couldn’t help but wonder why this anti-Pledge phenomenon seems to be gaining so
much traction as of late and on what grounds was this movement based. Perhaps there was some hidden or maybe not so
hidden message in it that I missed or did not understand in my student days all
those years ago. Was there some code in
the thing that only the best, brightest, and most sophisticated among us could
fathom? Had I not been intelligent
enough to comprehend that there was far more to our Pledge of Allegiance then
met the eye? Well, let’s take a look at
it and see if we can decipher its real meaning.
As I recall, it begins thusly: I
Pledge Allegiance To The Flag Of The United States Of America. Hmmmm, what can we make of this I
wonder? What precisely is a pledge? According to Webster’s New World Dictionary
and Thesaurus it is a promise or an agreement.
That seems simple enough. We’ve
all made promises and agreements – some of them small and relatively inconsequential
and others so important that they literally define us as individuals and
American citizens. What’s to object to
thus far?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Well, let’s
continue. Exactly what are we
pledging? Yes, that’s right. We are pledging our allegiance. The same source defines allegiance as the
duty of being loyal to one’s country or devotion to a cause. Does anyone out there seriously object to the
concept of being loyal to the nation of one’s birth? Haven’t we all at times been devoted to a
cause? Perhaps those who object to the
Pledge are not happy about the cause referenced here. The cause in this case is a flag and what is
a flag? Webster’s notes that a flag is a
cloth with colors and patterns that is used as a symbol of a nation. As far as I can tell, every nation on the
planet has its own flag to which its citizens pledge their loyalty and
allegiance. This is certainly not
unusual or unique to America. It’s
really quite a common thing. So then,
why has our Pledge of Allegiance become an object of controversy, scorn, and
even ridicule? Perhaps it has something
to do with what comes next. You know,
the part that says To The United States Of America. Could this be it? Do those who object to the Pledge have
something against the United States of America?
Is there something about our nation that these folks find so odious that
they can’t bring themselves to pledge their loyalty to it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Is there
something about America that they find so detestable that they can’t in good
conscience bring themselves to proclaim their loyalty to their own
country? If that is indeed the case, I have
to wonder just how widespread and deep-seated the phenomenon really is. Does it involve only a tiny, miniscule
portion of our population or is it becoming increasingly prevalent? Is it relegated to recent immigrants to our
country who still harbor feelings of love and attachment to their nation of
origin or are those who object to the Pledge native-born Americans? If, in fact, the latter is the case then our
country could be headed for a crisis in the not too distant future. If increasing numbers of our citizens no
longer feel patriotic enough to pledge allegiance to their country they are, in
fact, rejecting their birthright and denying the historic role that America has
played in the world. They do not
recognize that this nation has been and still is the greatest force for good
that the world has ever seen or will see again.
Those who object to the Pledge know nothing of the very real concept of
American Exceptionalism and are certainly not the least bit aware of the words
or meaning contained in our Founding Documents.
They have a completely warped and distorted view of our nation and its
Founding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Well,
then, let’s continue with the exercise.
Our Pledge continues: And To The
Republic For Which It Stands One Nation Under God. So, we are apparently declaring our loyalty
to our republic that Old Glory represents.
Can those who object to the Pledge really find fault with the concept of
republican government? If so, they have
absolutely no comprehension or understanding of what a republic is. Technically speaking, a republic is simply
any form of government without some type of monarchy as in a king or a
queen. A republican government is one in
which those who are governed have a clear say as to how they are governed and who
will do said governing. Remember, back
when our nation was formed there were no such governments anywhere on the
planet. Nada, Zero, Zilch. People had no choices, no options, and
absolutely no freedoms whatsoever. The
new United States of America was the sole exception to thousands of years of
human history and experience. In fact,
if we look at the world today there exist about 193 separate nations around the
globe and only about 80 of them qualify as some form of a republic or democracy
in which the people have a voice in who their leaders will be. Referring once again to Mr. Webster, a
republic is defined as a state or government headed by a president in which
power is exercised by officials elected by the voters. That’s fairly simple and straight forward
isn’t it? Do those who object to the
Pledge also object to a government that is accountable to those it
governs? If so, I invite them to move to
such a country and experience life in a system where the individual has no
rights, freedoms, or choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Perhaps it
is that odious phrase Under God that the Pledge-Detractors find so
objectionable. Could that be
possible? I know that there are atheists
out there who profess not to believe in God – any God regardless of
religion. They seem to believe that
there is no higher governing entity on the planet or in the universe than
man. That’s one Hell of a sorry,
hubristic, and thoroughly pessimistic world view. We’re it?
There’s nothing out there that doesn’t transcend us petty,
narrow-visioned, self-centered, and frail members of the human race? Call it God, a Supreme Being, a Higher Power
or whatever you wish. It seems to me
that there’s got to be something out there that’s larger and more meaningful
than me, myself, and I. But hey, what
the Hell do I know? Well, I do know that
atheists represent less than one-half of one-half of one-percent of the
population so who the FUCK are they to dictate to the rest of us? While I suppose they are indeed entitled to
their opinion, are they really entitled to impose their views on the
overwhelming majority? This nation was
founded by deeply religious and God-fearing folks who knew that without a
religious foundation that provided us with a moral compass, our new, grand
experiment was doomed to fail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Some of
those Pledge-Deniers claim to do so on Constitutional grounds. They maintain that forcing students to recite
the Pledge is a violation of the First Amendment to our Constitution. They insist that the Pledge violates the
Establishment Clause and it’s more than just a little obvious that these
dunderheads have no idea whatsoever what freedom of religion meant when the
First Amendment was written all those years ago. The Founders insisted that the government
must never create a state religion and force all citizens to join it. This was a reaction to King Henry’s kicking
the Roman Catholic Church out of England, establishing the Anglican Church, and
forcing all Englishmen to join it.
That’s all that was meant by Freedom of Religion and anyone out there
who is a strict constructionist or an originalist (no, you can look those terms
up) knows this is correct. There is
absolutely no Constitutional objection to the Pledge of Allegiance that will
stand the test of strict scrutiny. Like
so many other mindless buffoons who bring out the Constitution to defend their
points of view, they have absolutely no idea what the FUCK they’re talking
about but seem to think that throwing Constitution-Speak into the mix somehow
gives legitimacy to their wrong-headed opinions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hmmm, could this be the offensive phrase here? Could this be what those who object to the
Pledge of Allegiance are getting so bent out of shape about? What could possibly be objectionable about
concepts like liberty and justice? These
ideals constitute bedrocks of the American experience and once again set us
apart from and above most other nations in the world. Liberty and justice for all can be found
almost nowhere on the planet – not today and certainly not throughout
history. Mankind’s historical lot has
been one of oppression, tyranny, brutality, and a complete absence of anything
even remotely resembling liberty and justice for all. That is until we came along. It was only with the creation of the United
States of America that these concepts were woven into the fabric of a national
entity. Other nations have since
followed suit but they have been far too few to provide a counter balance to
the way the world has been historically governed. Perhaps the Pledge-Objectors believe that we
have not achieved liberty and justice for all.
Could this be it? Do our
Pledge-Detractors object to the fact that the Pledge has not been perfectly
implemented and that, in fact, liberty and justice for all has not been
achieved for one hundred percent of the population?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

indeed the case, I have a news flash for those who are of this mindset. You’re gonna be forever pissed off, angry,
disgruntled, and miserable. The Pledge
is an ideal – a goal – that must be constantly striven for but will never be
completely or perfectly implemented or achieved. The same can be said for our brilliant
Declaration of Independence. It is a
goal – a target if you will – that we as a nation must forever attempt to
achieve. Is it possible for us mere
mortals to achieve perfection? Of course
not, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying for that is the best we imperfect
human beings can possibly achieve. And
in truth, we’ve done pretty damned well when you compare us to the rest of the
world insofar as liberty and justice for all are concerned. We’ve also done pretty damned well when we
look at our nation’s own history. Far
more Americans now have that liberty and justice than was previously the
case. I give you the 13<sup>th</sup>, 14<sup>th</sup>,
15<sup>th</sup>, and 19<sup>th</sup> Amendments to our Constitution as but four
examples of the veracity of this statement.
If and when we ever stop trying to achieve the lofty and idealistic
goals we have set for ourselves as a nation, that is the moment when we must
begin to be seriously worried about the future of the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

object to our Pledge of Allegiance have in common one overriding trait or
characteristic. Without exception, it
seems to me, they are Far Left Liberals who literally despise the United States
of America as historically founded and presently constituted. They loathe our nation and will do everything
and anything they can to tear it down and bring it to its knees. They are not at all embarrassed or ashamed of
this fact. They revel in their
anti-Americanism and wear it proudly as a badge of honor. They deny the fact of American greatness and
are convinced we do not deserve the wealth and power we have accrued over the
last few centuries. They are convinced
that America represents the world’s worst scourge and that there is nothing
praiseworthy or admirable about our history, traditions, and institutions. They see nothing at all wrong with
indoctrinating or brainwashing our nation’s young folks with their
anti-American views for they know damned well that if large segments of a
country’s young people can be taught to despise their own country, then that
country is indeed doomed to fail. These
saboteurs know that concepts like patriotism, love of country, and nationalism
are not instinctive. They are not part
of our genetic code or DNA. These
concepts must be taught and learned from an early age and be constantly
reinforced. This is an essential part of
any country’s educational system and is certainly as important as the
traditional three “R’s”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

impossible to hold America together as a unified, cohesive country with a clear
sense of purpose and direction. Honestly
teaching our young folks the proud history of their country is key to our
survival as the greatest nation God ever gave mankind. Brainwashing generations of our youth into
literally despising the nation of their birth is the key to its destruction.
Unfortunately for our children and our country, our educational system from top
to bottom is populated by those on the Far Left who want to see America fail
and never recover. Our educational
system is no longer interested in honestly educating America’s youth. That is the last thing those of the LFE

department head, principal, or professor are members in good standing of the
LFE and the all-consuming passion of this group is to teach their charges
nothing but the negative aspects of American history. After twelve to sixteen years of this utter
BULLSHIT, our young folks leave school literally hating their own nation. These young people are not being taught to
think creatively or independently but instead are taught only to follow the
party line. Remember the old expression,
“Garbage In – Garbage Out,”? That
applies perfectly to our system of education in America (see The Activism and

reached the point that one tenured professor at the University of Denver has
rewritten the Pledge to suit his hard Left Wing, anti-American agenda and
forces his students to recite his version if they want to succeed in his course

is particularly useful in this regard.
The author notes, “here’s the latest in the ongoing saga regarding the
promulgation of the progressive socialist agenda on college campuses.” The new pledge reads as follows: “I pledge allegiance to and wrap myself in
the flag of the United States against anything un-American. And to the Republicans for which it stands,
two nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and justice
for all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, Communists,

immigrants, and you, if you don’t watch your step.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This crap is being foisted and forced on our nation’s college students
at a major American university and I’ll damned well guarantee you that this
kind of anti-American, anti-patriotic exercise is occurring at colleges and
universities all over the country. Our
nation’s so-called institutions of higher learning have been purposely
subverted into propaganda mills for those on the far, far, Left and by the time
our “students” graduate they will carry their anti-Americanism into adulthood
and beyond (see The Gentle Snowflakes – Cup Cake Rant of 12/11/16). I can’t help but wonder what percentage of
this “professor’s” students refused to participate in reciting the new pledge
and if so, what grade they received from this virulently anti-American piece of
shit! If I were the parent of a kid attending
this university, I’d pull him or her out immediately before spending one more

of higher brainwashing and inculcation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piece accurately notes that the, “New pledge is just chock full of poll-tested
sound bites based on class warfare, gender politics, special interests, the
promotion of the welfare nanny state, and the rejection of American sovereignty
– none of which is part of the experience of American civilization.” Author Allen B. West goes on to explain that
the, “professor’s accompanying principles of nationalizing production, creation
and expansion of a welfare state, social utopianism and egalitarianism, and the
secular state is the antithesis of what the American civilization truly seeks
to be.” And what is it that American
civilization truly seeks to be? Pretty
simple really: “One nation under God,
indivisible with liberty and justice for all – based on limited government,
fiscal responsibility, individual sovereignty, free market/free enterprise
economics, and a strong national defense – and sugar coated with a traditional
sprinkling of traditional values.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This is a
telling statement and it is right on the mark.
Those of the LFE utterly despise our nation’s most cherished and dearly
held traditions. Anything to do with
traditional American values and mores is anathema to those on the Left who hate
the United States and all that it stands for and represents. There is no feeling of love or loyalty for
our country where the Far Left is concerned.
It matters not one whit to them that they have the freedom to say and do
obviously anti-American rhetoric and activities only because they live in the
freest, most tolerant nation the world has ever seen. They do not even slightly appreciate the
freedoms and liberties bestowed upon them by our magnificent Constitution and
willingly and gleefully bite the hand that feeds them every chance they
get. These loud-mouthed, un-American,
unappreciative America haters represent the penultimate in undisguised and
unbridled hypocrisy. They are more than
willing to enjoy their freedoms – freedoms which most of the world still does
not possess – and at the same time denounce the country that provides those
freedoms. The author concludes by asking,
“Are we just matriculating our young people through a broken educational
system? Will we ever get back to
educating and developing critical thinkers?”
Unfortunately, the answer is no.
As long as our educational system is controlled by the Far Left,
education and critical thinking will be stifled, suppressed, and
destroyed. Our so-called institutions of
higher learning are only interested in pumping out brain-numbed automatons who
will obediently and dutifully follow the party line that is shoved down their
throats by propagandists masquerading as educators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is useful here for it speaks directly to what has happened to America’s system
of education. The author correctly
explains that the, “state of America’s higher education has never been more
pathetic. From Common Core new math
confusion to Islamic and leftist indoctrination, the schools that used to
actually teach students useful life skills 100 years ago, are now instead about
injecting them with propaganda to support Progressive ideology.” Author Gina Cassini is absolutely correct in
this analysis. The damage done to our students
and our nation by politicizing education is literally incalculable. Foreign enemies, ISIS terrorists, and Al
Quaida operatives can’t possibly hurt our nation nearly as much as those
anti-American Sons-a-Bitches on the Far Left who are relentless in their
attempts to turn our nation’s youth against their own country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This has
been going on for at least fifty to sixty years and has indeed become
institutionalized. It’s reached the
point where those who hold opinions that are at odds with those in the LFE are
barred from campus and cannot participate in debates or even discussions that
defy the Far Left’s orthodoxy.
Universities were once known as bastions for the free and open exchange
of differing points of view, attitudes, and ideas. That, however, is no longer the case. Our institutions of higher education have
become completely closed-minded and thoroughly intolerant of anything and
anybody who dares express opinions that have not been vetted and approved by
the campus thought police. If you
disagree here, I might suggest an experiment for you to try. Go to virtually any college or university in
the country and start talking about how much you love our brand new President
and how much you dislike and disapproved of his predecessor. You’ll be shouted down, attacked, and
ridiculed beyond anything you could have imagined. You’ll run the risk of being tarred,
feathered, and run out of town on a rail.
Our brainwashed youth and their absolutely atrocious “educators” are
simply not interested in and will not tolerate any views and opinions save for
their own. The author of the piece
queries, “Is that the job of a history teacher, to propagandize students on his
leftist ideology? Silly me, I thought it
was to actually teach American history. But this is exactly what the Progressives had
in mind when they began infiltrating teachers colleges and administrative
positions at colleges across the nation 60+ years ago.” This kind of propagandizing has become
generational. Most of these brainwashed,
propagandized “students” will eventually grow up and have children of their own
to whom they will pass on the same Far Left bilge and doctrinaire views that
they were inculcated with by those who were supposed to teach them the truth
about the United States of America.
These miserable, anti-American scum-dogs are doing irreparable harm to
our country and they are inordinately proud of that fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all levels of society and not just in our colleges and universities. This mindset and philosophy has infected our
lower grades as well. An article
entitled, “Boston High School Trades Pledge of Allegiance for Muslim

attests to this disturbing and troubling phenomenon. Let’s see, replacing our Pledge of Allegiance
with a Muslim, anti-American poem. What
might that tell us? Why would any
American at an American high school in a major American urban center want to
shit-can our Pledge in favor of a Muslim anti-American poem? The answer is really quite simple: Liberals and Liberalism. As with our colleges and universities, the
vast majority of teachers and administrators in our secondary schools are
full-fledged members of the LFE and take great delight in trashing long-held
and cherished American traditions. The
author of the piece correctly explains that the, “left never changes. It’s a toxic moral rot. It isn’t even capable of comprehending its
own awfulness. It marches on with no
trace of decency, only the arrogant self-assurance of those who insist that
they know better because of some imaginary humanitarian moral superiority.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to accept their edicts and pronouncements issued from on high without question
or dissent. We must simply surrender and
obey like children who must neither be seen nor heard. If the anti-American jackasses who run this
Boston high school decide in their infinite wisdom to ditch the Pledge of
Allegiance in favor of an anti-American poem, then so be it. The rest of us just have to sit quietly and
take it. No choice and no options. What I’d like to know is why this

Symbolism is important for it represents our values, traditions,

there exists a Constitutional right to attack and undermine those things that
symbolize America. That being the case,
however, the Liberal Pukes out there who despise this country must understand
that there exists a corresponding right to defend our time-honored and proud

sovereignty and autonomy and there’s simply no other way to explain it. The piece notes that a fifteen year-old girl,
“was forced to recite the Mexican pledge and sing the Mexican national anthem.” Yup, you read that correctly. The student, Brenda Brinsdon, refused to
comply because, “she believed it was un-American to pledge a loyalty oath to
another country.” Well, bravo for

school district has a policy that prohibits a school from compelling students
to recite the American Pledge of Allegiance,” and that the, “district has a
written policy that excuses students from reciting text from the Declaration of
Independence if the student as determined by the district has a conscientious
objection to the recitation.” How about
that? This Texas school will allow
students to ignore and disrespect symbols of American greatness and exceptionalism
but cracks down hard on students who refuse to pledge fealty to a foreign
entity. Seems kinds of ass-backwards to
me. The piece correctly concludes that
there, “is a sad trend in public schools across our nation to undermine
American patriotism.” This simple
statement sums it up in a nutshell for this is one of the central or primary
motivations behind the LFE’s hatred of America.
If you can destroy patriotism in a country’s youth, the demise of that
nation is all but assured. Without
patriotism there can be no feelings of nationalism or pride in a country’s
past, achievements, or future. Once the
young turn against their own country, that country cannot long survive. By the way, our brave Miss Brenda was indeed
punished. She was given an alternative
assignment on the independence of Mexico and the, “teacher gave her a failing
grade.” Additionally, Brenda was forced
to sit in class over a period of seven days to listen to other students recite
Mexico’s pledge. Anyone out there who
doesn’t instinctively understand the danger this trend represents is sadly
delusional about the fate of our nation.
Once a country’s youth has been corrupted, the future is at best grim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Anti-Flag Form, She Responds With Something Better (</span><a href="http://madworldnews.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://madworldnews.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is instructive. Apparently, a mother
objected to a form her child’s school sent home and expected her to sign. It was a permission slip of sorts. We all remember those from our school days
but this one had a decidedly un-American twist to it. The permission slip allowed students to be
exempt from reciting our Pledge of Allegiance which illustrates, “just how far
our nation has devolved because of political correctness and the infiltration
of anti-American residents.” The piece
notes that, “catering to Islamic students and atheists who are mad that God is
mentioned in the Pledge, the district decided to send a form home for all
parents to sign if they wanted their student to sit this tradition out.” Furthermore, in the, “rhetoric-riddled form
it states that it’s a parent’s right to exclude their child from the Pledge of
Allegiance, which specifies that they don’t have to stand or place their hand
over their heart if they don’t want to.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> If they
don’t want to? What in the FUCK is
that? When did students in our public
schools get this kind of choice especially regarding America’s heritage and
traditions? When did our Pledge become
optional or a matter of preference and how in the Hell did that happen? Once again, the answer is Liberals and
Liberalism. It’s no more complicated
than that. Well, instead of signing the
permission slip Mom wrote back that, “This is the dumbest thing I have ever
read and I am so ashamed of this.” Way
to go, Mom! The piece concludes by
insisting that there, “should not even be an option of pledging allegiance to
the flag of the country you choose to live in.
This should be a basic requirement, and for those who disrespect our flag
and don’t like what it represents, they shouldn’t be living here.” What’s that old, politically incorrect saying
from years ago? Oh yeah, America – Love
It Or Leave It! Maybe, just maybe this
is what our public school students should be learning. What do you think? The piece concludes that, “It’s a sad state
of the nation when being patriotic is considered offensive and those who aren’t
are the ones who dictate the rules.”
Sometimes when I look at what’s happening to our country, I feel like
Alice right after she fell through that looking glass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> From my
point of view, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance should and must be required of
all students attending any school in America.
No exceptions, no way, no how.
For those born in this country and who are therefore automatically
American citizens, it is the first step in teaching them about patriotism,
nationalism, and the concept of American Exceptionalism. As stated earlier, these concepts and ideals
must be taught and learned. They are the
glue that binds us together as a united country with a proud past and a bright
future. Being proud of our nation’s
accomplishments and role in the world must be understood by America’s
youth. It is essential for our survival
as a unified and proud people. For those
students who came here from other parts of the world, the Pledge is equally
essential. It is the first and all
important step in the process of assimilation whereby immigrants are taught to
become Americans and to be proud of their adopted country. Since at least the Immigration Act of 1965,
assimilation has been virtually nonexistent.
More and more foreigners are coming here to live and work without caring
one little tinker’s damn about this country, its history, and what it
represents. They are more than happy to
jump on that entitlement bandwagon and take all the “freebies” they can get
their alien hands on. The problem,
however, is that they feel that they owe America and Americans absolutely
nothing in return. They are not grateful
or appreciative of the freedoms and opportunities bestowed upon them by virtue
of living in the United States. We are
faced with the very unsettling and disturbing prospect of millions upon
millions of newcomers to our nation who have no desire to become Americans,
learn our language, or pledge their loyalty to this nation. This, folks, is literally suicidal and if we
don’t put an end to it our country will not long survive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is useful here. The article explains
that, “We need patriotism and unity. Our
nation has fractured into groups of African American, Native American, Latino
American, Chinese American, Irish American, and so on. Forget the differences of skin color, what
other country peoples families originated from.
These kinds of groups bring nothing but division and racism. How about we just start being the melting pot
we are and be Americans!!!” Anybody
disagree here? Additionally, the author
explains that, “I do not pledge my allegiance to any president, government
official, or government entity. I pledge
my allegiance to the Republic and the preservation of the Constitutional
principles it was founded upon. That is
what the Pledge of Allegiance is all about; not a government or president such
as the current one [Obama] that places the Constitution in the same regard as
toilet paper. If you truly understand
freedom and liberty, and enjoy these freedoms and liberties, then there should
be no problem pledging allegiance to the Republic that was constitutionally
designed to individually protect you and me from a runaway government like we
have today.” So far, I cannot find
anything the least bit objectionable in the author’s defense of our
Pledge. I just find it to be a very
sorry state of affairs that our Pledge of Allegiance needs any defense
whatsoever. Perhaps those of us who love
this country and revere its traditions have been put on the defensive by the
Liberal Pukes out there who would tear America asunder. Maybe, just maybe it’s time we took the
initiative and made those anti-American saboteurs out there take a defensive
posture or attitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have a thorough working knowledge of the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States of America.
They must understand the importance of self-reliance and the freedom to
succeed and to fail by a small, limited government.” Would that this were so. I absolutely
guarantee you that if you took a random survey of recent high school and
college graduates, they could not intelligently explain the purpose and intent
of our Founding Documents. They would
not be able to explain what the Bill of Rights is or why it was included in our
Constitution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not adequately explain the First Amendment, the Second, Fourth, Eighth or any
of the others for that matter.
Similarly, they couldn’t explain such basic Constitutional concepts as
separation of powers, checks and balances, or federalism. They have not been taught these and other
basic constitutional principles because the Liberal Elites who control our
educational system will not teach these all important bulwarks of our nation’s
founding. As to the concept of a limited
government, that crucial and definitional element of our history has been
completely ignored or disparaged by our educational establishment. Limited government is a completely foreign
concept to most Americans today. They
have become used to and comfortable with a huge, all powerful, and overly
intrusive government that literally extends its tentacles into every single
aspect of the lives of the citizenry.
This is not at all what the Founders intended and if they could see what
has become of the system of government they created they’d be utterly aghast
and mortified (see The Founding Fathers Would Be Ashamed Of Us Rant of

These are excellent and obvious questions and they need to be answered

honestly evaluate how far our country has fallen away from and repudiated our

finally, finally the 2016 Presidential election is over and, of course, “The
Donald” emerged victorious. Mr. Trump is
now officially and formally President Elect Trump. Republicans, Conservatives, and untold
numbers of Independents are decidedly pleased and many are absolutely gloating
over this unexpected result. The
“pollsters”, pundits, and mainstream media types are dazed, confused, and
literally mortified. How could they have
got it so wrong? Who will ever trust
their judgement and so-called expertise ever again? If you remember, right up until about nine
o’clock on election-day the “smart money” was predicting Hillary by a
landslide. Additionally, we must not
forget that so-called, “hidden vote.”
You know, all those folks who swore they’d never vote for Trump – never
– but once in the privacy of the voting booth, they did so. Apparently, there were millions of them. This loud, brash, pugnacious, and oh so
politically incorrect “outsider” surprised and stunned the nation. Our Founding Fathers would have thoroughly
and heartily approved. You see, in their
view politics was never supposed to be a life-long profession. Citizens would spend their lives toiling and
laboring away at their chosen vocations and might spend a term or two serving
their nation. When their political stint
came to an end, back they would go to the private sector to resume their normal
lives, duties, and responsibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Trump is
cut from the same mold. After spending
his entire life competing successfully in our free market system, the man
looked around at the state of affairs existing in our country and decided to
get involved. Think back to that day in
2015 when he announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for the
Presidency. He was universally mocked,
ridiculed, and caricatured by virtually everyone from the pundits on down. No one took the guy seriously. His rivals in the Republican primaries felt
he was at best an oddity and at worst a bad joke told in poor taste. The Democrats and especially the feared and
loathsome Clinton Machine “poo-pooed” him as a guy with too much money and time
on his hands who was simply looking for a new hobby with which to amuse
himself. His Republican rivals violated
the very first rule of combat – never, ever underestimate a possible adversary
or enemy especially one who has proven to be immensely successful in the real
world. Well, when the dust settled and
the smoke cleared Trump was the only Republican left standing and became, of
course, the party’s nominee. This gave
rise to a new political phenomenon among the Republican elites-insiders: the
Never Trump Movement. The members of the
“CLUB” just weren’t having this newcomer – no way, no how. He hadn’t paid his dues. He hadn’t come up through the ranks. And he
certainly hadn’t kissed the right asses!
Not just a few of them, if memory serves, said they’d vote for Hillary
rather than cast a ballot for the upstart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

other side of the aisle, of course, the Democrats were absolutely jubilant. They simply could not contain their
glee. It was assumed from the get-go
that the next President of the United States would be a washed-out, dried up
old hag named Hillary. Of this there was
no doubt. Hillary, Bill, and the Clinton
Crime Family Foundation were a lock and Man did the money come flowing in –
rivers of the stuff! Her “pay-to-play”
antics as Secretary of State would pale into insignificance compared to the
influence she could peddle as Madame President.
The Clintons were literally drooling with greedy, glutinous
anticipation! The Talking Heads in the
media gave up all pretense of objectivity and the so-called “press” – both
print and electronic – became nothing more than shills and “butt-boys” for the
Pant-Suit-In-Chief wannabe. Finally,
after enduring the pain and embarrassment of a marriage that was never more
than a business arrangement she would be rewarded big time! At long last, she could put the scandals and
the womanizing of her philandering dog of a husband behind her. After all, she would soon become the most
powerful woman on the entire damned planet!

about all the shame, embarrassment, and humiliation of her marriage that really
wasn’t. Forget about that
saxophone-playing, hillbilly-redneck from Butt-Fuck, Arkansas! The country and the world would soon be at
her feet and she would not merely be inaugurated in January of 2017, she’d be
coronated! After all, it was no more
than her due. She and her Democrat
buddies made the same mistake that Trump’s Republican primary rivals
committed. She underestimated the novice
politician and couldn’t bring herself to take him seriously. Her advisers and allies in the biased media
also misread the Republican nominee.
They tried to pigeon-hole Trump into the same political mold from which
they were cut. Unfortunately for them,
he does not fit that mold. He was their
so-called Monkey-in-the-Wrench. He was
that sinking curve ball when all they could hit was a chest-high fast ball with
nothing on it. Hillary and the “Dems”
simply did not know what to make of this guy and they certainly didn’t know how
to handle him. Instead, Trump handled
them. He out campaigned the heir
apparent in every way imaginable. He
faced a decidedly hostile media which treated him at best unfairly and unobjectively. They threw away even the slightest pretense
of reporting the events of the day but instead shamelessly
prostituted-prostrated themselves at the throne of the Ice Queen. So, what did Trump do? He did the same exact thing that Ronaldus
Maximus did in the 1980’s. He ignored
the press, went right over their heads, and took his case directly to the
American people. You remember all those
“tweets” and his expert use of the so-called social media? The man is a brilliant communicator and just
as importantly, knows how to read his audience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all over now and has been for a number of weeks. We all know that. It’s a done deal. Kaput, finished, through. Our President-Elect is now involved in
putting together his cabinet to help him implement the promises he made to the
electorate. The Executive Branch, I’m
told, will have to hire over four thousand employees to keep things running
smoothly once the transition takes place.
All president elects are faced with this challenge and it is, therefore,
nothing unusual. It’s routine, normal,
and it’s been going on for over two hundred years. All of us have lived through this process and
all of us, of course, have lived through elections in which we’ve been pleased
by the outcome and, conversely, have been terribly upset by the results
depending on which horse we backed. This
too is nothing at all unusual or surprising.
I distinctly remember how terribly disappointed I was when old William
Jefferson was twice elected. I was
distressed. I was miffed. I was angry.
And the next day, the alarm went off and I got up and went to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was utterly convinced that Barry Boy didn’t have a chance at winning the
Presidency. I was obviously wrong. I remember going to the gym and beating the
living shit out of the heavy bag to vent my frustration and then got on with my
life. In 2012, after four disastrous
years of Obama and his pledge to fundamentally transform our country, I knew in
my heart that the “Brother” could never win a second term. Remind me never to bet any sizable amounts on
my election picks! I coped with the
outcome, vented a little bit, and moved on.
I’m sure we’ve all been through this depending on party affiliation,
personal preferences, and who we felt would be better at steering our ship of
state through troubled waters. We’ve all
lost at times and moved right along.
We’ve all won at times and moved
right along. Sometimes we did so happily
and at other times – well, not so much.
Now that Trump has emerged victorious, we should expect the same or at
least similar attitudes to prevail. The
family squabble is over and it’s time to go on about our business. It’s time to lick whatever wounds have been
opened by this admittedly contentious election.
It’s time to come together once again and unite as Americans who are
proud of our past and confident in our future.
We must never forget that this election, no matter how hotly contested,
is yet another brilliant example of American Exceptionalism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

literally the first nation in history that devised a Constitution that allowed
for the peaceful transition of power.
None of us must ever forget that unique and special lesson. Prior to 1776, and in far too much of the
world today, when elections are this hotly contested we see rivers of blood
running in the streets, mass graves, torture, mayhem, rioting, and bedlam. Look to Africa, the Middle East, or Latin
America if you have any doubts here. It
was the new United States of America that once again threw off the shackles of
the past and set the example – the benchmark – for the rest of the world to
follow if it only would. This is but one
more example of America’s gift to humanity but sadly, most Americans are
pathetically ignorant of their own history and our historic role on the world
stage. It appears that far, far too many
of those who championed HRC’s bid for the Presidency will not and cannot let go
and accept the fact that they lost. It’s
a fact of life, the contest is over, they fought hard, and they freaking
LOST! What’s the old expression? Oh yeah, Shit Happens! Your side won’t always win and, in fact,
there will always be winners and losers in our system. We have a very competitive political system
and competition dictates that someone will always win and therefore by
definition someone will always lose.
It’s a given. It’s an unavoidable
and immutable fact of life. Competition
has come in a very real sense come to define us as a people and a nation and
it’s a very cornerstone of America’s heritage and tradition. Without competition in all fields of life and
in every facet of endeavor, progress as we have come to define it simply isn’t
possible. Without competition, we as
individuals and as a nation stagnate and atrophy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

however, eschew the very concept of competition or the fact that it is healthy,
necessary, fulfilling, and meaningful.
Competition is the cause of all advancement in this country on any level
you can imagine. It causes us to strive,
to struggle, and to succeed. If at times
we fail – as will always happen – competition allows us to pick ourselves up,
dust ourselves off, learn from our mistakes, and jump right back into the fray. Yes indeed, competition can be painful and it
can be a very, very messy affair but in the end it makes us better both as
individuals and as a nation. Look at the
progress we as a country have made in our relatively short tenure as a national
entity. No country can hold the
proverbial candle to us in any meaningful way by any meaningful measure. That’s what competition has done for us and
if we ever lose that competitive edge, we will have lost a defining element of
what has made our country so great.
Unfortunately, even tragically, there exists among us an entire segment
of our population that simply cannot handle or deal with the rigors and results
of competition. These folks have been
taught, brainwashed if you will, that competition in our society must be rooted
out and destroyed. They have been taught
that competition simply has no place in our enlightened and “wussified” 21<sup>st</sup>
Century America. Competition represents
the old order, an outdated mode of thinking, and an antiquated construct that
simply must be done away with. This, sadly,
is what our young folks are being taught literally from the time they have
learned to walk. Our young people have
been fed a constant diet of anti-Capitalism, anti-Americanism, and
anti-competition from pre-K right up on through college and university. By the time they become young adults,
whatever competitive spirit they may have once had has been overcome,
vanquished, and sacrificed on the altar of equality, fairness, and “Kumbayah.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this is an exaggeration or perhaps something of an hysterical
overstatement? Think again. Look at what’s going on in our schools all
over the country. Games that were once
considered normal and healthy when many of us were young can no longer be found
in the school yard. I give you as but
one example that old favorite, Dodge Ball.
Remember that one? Sure you
do. If you got nailed by that ball – and
boy, could that sting - you were OUT and had to go sit on the side-line while
the game played on. Remember how the
game ended? That’s right, one side was
completely vanquished. All their players
were hit by that ball until there was no one left standing. They were the LOSERS and the other team was
the VICTOR! No more. You see, the losers might leave the game with
hurt feelings, bruised egos, and shattered self-esteem. Well, we simply can’t have that now can
we? Children must be protected, coddled,
and pampered lest their feelings get hurt.
You try and find a game of Dodge Ball today and let me know how that
goes. We are not allowing kids today to experience
the “agony of defeat” and are depriving them of one of life’s most valuable
lessons: how to lose and then learn from
it. Those who don’t learn this lesson
will be at a decided disadvantage as they move into adulthood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The same
attitude can be seen in the precipitous decline of another old playground
favorite – the game of tag. Remember
playing that game all those years ago?
It personified the concept of competition and everyone who participated
knew that there would be winners and losers and we were taught to deal with it,
accept it, and move on. In other words,
we were taught how to handle life’s ups and downs, life’s victories and defeats,
without damaging our delicate and fragile psyches. We were taught to be strong, tough, and resilient. In fact, one of the worst things that could
be attached to someone all those years ago was the opprobrium of, “Sore
Loser.” That was something to be avoided
at all costs. To be perceived as a sore
loser was to be stigmatized, ostracized, and ridiculed. This is no longer the case for we are moving
to a future where there are no winners and therefore, of course, no
losers. I’m sure you’ve noticed the
fairly recent trend in which all participants receive trophies for, well, just
showing up. First, second, and third
place have been sacrificed to the very dangerous concept of Political
Correctness which dictates that no one must walk away with hurt feelings. Everyone must walk away feeling like a winner
even if they don’t deserve it. This,
folks, is dangerous because it means that as a society we are no longer
preparing our young ones to face life’s realities and disappointments. We are turning our young folks into a
generation of emotional cripples who are simply not ready or able to deal with
adulthood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Are you aware that some of these institutions cost Mommy and Daddy as

better on trade issues.” Yeah, that’s

Apparently, if one disagrees politically with the boss then you don’t
deserve to be employed. So much for
respecting our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and expression if
you happen to express an unpopular opinion or position. The author of the piece seems to be
especially interested in the reaction to Trump’s victory on college
campuses. He notes that the esteemed
University of Michigan, “offered its traumatized students coloring books and
Play-Doh to calm them down.” Coloring
books? Play-Doh? Are these young folks attending college or
are they sniveling, whining, pathetic losers who don’t know how life actually
works? At the University of Kansas,
students were reminded that therapy dogs were available so they could cuddle
with something warm, fuzzy, and non-judgmental.
Meanwhile, Cornell University, “held a campus-wide cry-in, with
officials handing out tissues and hot chocolate.” I wonder if those little marshmallows were
served with the soothing cocoa?
Similarly, “Tufts University offered its devastated students arts and
crafts sessions,” while at, “campuses from elite Yale to Connecticut to Iowa
and beyond, professors canceled classes and/or exams – either because students
asked or because instructors were too distraught to teach.” The author opines that, “Collegiate sobbing
and wailing . . . shouldn’t be tolerated – especially by the parents who are
shelling out tens of thousands of dollars to pay for it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The parents. While it is an

less control and influence over the behavior of their progeny. It is equally true, however, that if they had
raised their offspring with an eye toward producing mature, responsible, and
reasonable adults-citizens, we would not be witnessing the infantile behavior
we see on college campuses all over the country in the wake of Clinton’s
defeat. Well Mom and Dad, I hope you’re

willing to bet the entire damned ranch and everything I own that these parents
were of the “enlightened” variety who raised their little brats as their
friends, buddies, and equals. That is
not what’s been referred to as, “good parenting.” These young ‘uns were raised
with no sense of self-discipline, responsibility, or consequences. You know it’s the old, “if it feels good – do
it,” school of raising the kiddies.
Protect and coddle at all costs and never, ever let them be scarred or
damaged by life’s inevitable ups and downs.
They must never experience even the mildest form of trauma,
disappointment, or angst. There’s an old
adage that well-intentioned but clueless people are some of the most dangerous
on the planet. They have always and
inevitably caused far more harm than good but are completely oblivious to the
fact that their failure as parents will have far-reaching and devastating consequences
on both a personal and national level.
What we’re seeing on our college campuses is merely the tip of the
proverbial ice-berg and we all remember the Titanic. Our so-called best and brightest haven’t been
raised or taught to lead. They have been
taught to whine, blubber, and blather.
They are mindless, non-thinking, emotional cripples who simply can’t

observes that as, “we watch college students melt down over an election, as we
watch them regress to infantile states, as we watch them advertise their
weakness in the media . . . we naturally want to know who we should blame for
the debacle.” The author continues and
points out that there are, “18-year olds (in other words, grown-ass adults)
curled up in the fetal position in collegiate safe spaces rocking and crying
because their favorite candidate lost an election.” The article notes that, “this generation of
emotionally overwrought children was created by Baby Boomer parents.” You remember the Baby Boomers? I sure do since I am of that generation. They were the folks who cut their political
teeth on protesting the Vietnam War, protesting the police, and generally having
virtually no respect for authority of any kind.
They have raised their precious cupcakes in their own image and they
have done an absolutely bang-up, stellar job of it! The author queries, “What have you done,
parents? I’m speaking to the parents of
the current college-aged child. What
have you done? Was it the participation
trophies? The helicoptering? Never letting them lose? I want to know so that I do not make the same
mistake when raising my own young brood.”
Additionally, “Like most things the Boomers unleashed on the world,
their millennial children are profoundly despicable, immature, entitled,
privileged, volatile, ignorant brats intent on getting their way despite rules,
laws, and the rights of others.” Not
exactly a pretty picture, but it’s accurate as Hell. We are raising a generation with no spine, no
guts, no fortitude, and no discipline whatsoever. God help this country when it’s time for the
gentle snowflakes to step up to the plate and lead this country during

completely useless and pampered cupcakes must deal with our country’s enemies

marching around cities hurling invectives at people who disagree with her
politically while spray-painting profanity on private property? Do you give her an extra cookie when she
comes home to your basement each night for being such an impassioned little
monster?” The writer correctly accuses
those parents of raising, “a generation of incompetents who can’t build
anything, invent anything (except for false narratives and accusations), hold
jobs, write decent sentences, or hold debates beyond screaming that you’re a
racist at their opponents. Some of them
are even trying to frame innocent people for hate crimes in the name of social

It used to be not all that long ago, that the entire purpose of a
nation’s educational system was geared toward one thing and one thing only: to
prepare the younger generation to become useful, productive, and proud
citizens. Our educational system was
designed to produce the next generation of America’s leaders. It is not supposed to produce an entire
generation of simpering, spoiled wimps who completely melt down and implode at
even the slightest hint of adversity or even differing points of view,

business, engaging in no public displays other than maybe wearing a ballcap or
a T-shirt, or high-fiving the odd fellow Trump voter here and there.” In other words, Trump supporters – the
winners – behaved normally. They didn’t
in their victory riot, destroy property, or even castigate their political
opponents. They understood that once
again the genius of the American political process worked magnificently and
proved once more just how much we still owe to our Founding Fathers for the
system and indeed the nation they created.

not all that difficult to divine. It’s
really rather simple and can be summarized in one word: Liberalism.
Liberalism is the complete antithesis of everything this nation has come
to stand for and represent over the centuries.
Liberals despise this nation as historically founded and presently
constituted and their current standard bearer has famously – or infamously –
vowed to fundamentally transform our country into something it was never
intended to be. This so-called Lame Duck
has plowed through our Constitution like the proverbial hot knife through
butter and has ravaged our precious Bill of Rights like that demented bull in
the china shop. Liberals and their
totally mindless minions have no appreciation for the greatness that is America
and the very concept of American Exceptionalism is just something they
absolutely cannot abide. Whatever they
can do to tear our nation down and bring it to its knees is their primary if
not exclusive goal. They are statists,
authoritarians, and they loathe the very idea and ideal of a smaller, less
intrusive government responsible to the electorate. The LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) issue
marching orders to their completely brain dead, thoughtless, and brainwashed
followers who like good little Storm Troopers do their bidding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Liberals among us completely control our so-called institutions of higher
learning and have so indoctrinated their “charges” that those young people are
no longer capable of free, independent thinking or critical thought. They have been trained to do as they are told
by their Liberal professors who have successfully turned them into America’s
very own home-grown saboteurs. I am
thoroughly convinced that our college students’ last original thought died a
death of absolute and horrible loneliness.
Liberalism is America’s number one internal enemy and it is eating away
at the very fabric and foundation of what has made America so great. It is perfectly fitting that those in the LFE
are compliant in creating generations of emotional cripples, delicate
snowflakes, and inconsolable cupcakes!
The author continues that, “other people have had to seek psychotherapy
to cope with the outcome of the election, producing a remarkable upsurge in
client applications for practitioners.”
Psychotherapy, indeed. The piece
continues that, “on college campuses across the country, exams and classes have
been canceled so that students can grieve, process, and administer self-care
over the election of Donald Trump. Some
students have reported being so deeply shaken that they vomited and fell
prostrate. Universities are offering
counseling and safe spaces.” Are you
getting all this? Psychotherapy? Canceling classes and exams? Vomiting?
Safe spaces? All this over the
fact that Donald Trump won the election.

difference between having a tantrum and not having a tantrum, you’d recognize
that the Trump-haters are the ones having a tantrum. Trump haters who are not acting out in
violent and destructive ways are melting down psychologically, unable to cope
with a simple, due-process political event.
This kind of rejectionist, hysterical meltdown is as characteristic of a
toddler’s tantrum as is physical acting out.”
Additionally, all of this is, “very different from the way Barack
Obama’s opponents reacted to the elections of 2008 and 2012. Their forebodings about an Obama presidency
were deeply felt and clearly articulated, but at no point did the supporters of
John McCain or Mitt Romney ever do anything even remotely resembling this mass
tantrum.” The author explains that we’re, “seeing something of extraordinary
importance: that an awful lot of people who advocate progressivism are not
grown-ups who agree to play fair and remain dignified and tolerant. They literally can’t take it when they don’t
get their way. They become hysterical

Develop a strategy. Keep your spirits
up. Have a positive goal - and make sure it isn’t about sticking it to anyone
else. Seeking vengeance, while calling
it justice, is the surest road to ruin and annihilation.” This is a very strong sentiment and many at
first glance would simply dismiss it as a wild overstatement. We must not, however, forget that the number
one goal of those on the Far Left is exactly that: ruin and annihilation. This is not mere opinion but rather a clear
and explicit statement of fact. The LFE
in our midst wants to destroy our country as it has historically existed. They want to turn our nation into a utopian,
Socialist “paradise”. They loathe and
despise everything about the United States and want to turn us from a nation of
limited government in which ultimate power rests with the citizenry into a
country in which all power, all authority, and all decision-making resides in
the tentacles of a huge, centralized behemoth of a government in which the
individual is completely subordinate to the state. In order to accomplish this goal, it is
necessary to create as much mayhem, madness, and chaos as possible. There must be constant protests, rioting,

They were coddled, cushioned, and overly protected at home and that is
exactly the way they are treated at university.
Instead of being taught to experience ideas and viewpoints they are
opposed to and learn how to react to adversity in a mature and adult-like
fashion, the infantilism they grew up with is reinforced and replicated in
academe. How are these pathetic and
spoiled young “twits” ever going to take their place as national leaders and
policy makers in an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable world? The simple answer is they won’t because they
can’t. They have not been taught to
behave like mature adults who are ready to take on life’s
responsibilities. Instead, they have
extended their childhood into adulthood and have been allowed to retain
childlike attitudes and behaviors for far too long. This cannot help but do great harm to our
nation at a time when we desperately need level-headed and clear-thinking
adults at the helm. Given what’s been
going on at our colleges and universities today, it’s a pretty safe bet to say
that the nation is indeed facing troubling times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your college education, neglected to tell you that when it comes to this thing
called the Presidential Election, nobody cares how you FEEL the next day.” The writer points out that according to many
of our hysterical little cupcakes the views he expresses automatically make
him, “sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic, xenophobic and a whole slew of other
words that make students feel like they got daddy’s money’s worth of
school.” Have you ever noticed that when
confronted by people who oppose them, Liberals cannot rationally and reasonably
respond but instead engage in irrational name-calling and ad hominem, venomous
personal attacks that have absolutely
nothing to do with the issues at hand?
The piece continues that, “Liberals can’t wrap their heads around the

disagree with you and actually listen to your feelings more American than you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

us on the Conservative side – you know, the Right side – do listen to those on
the Left. We digest and analyze what
they say and do, we assess their behavior and their lack of tolerance for views
that differ from their own and shake our heads in disgust. We wonder how these emotional cripples who
can’t even walk a straight line and chew gum at the same time ever got to the
point where large swathes of the American people actually take them
seriously. This phenomenon has
everything to do with our biased and completely Far Left media that delights in
headlining anything and anybody who completely loathes and despises this
country. Anything they can do to paint a
negative picture of this country is certainly not beneath them. The piece goes on to point out that there,
“are reports from all over colleges about students who voted for Trump who are
in hiding. They are being shamed . . .
But there is something you should know about these students. They will one day be your bosses. If, of course, you can get a job.” That last is a very serious and prescient
observation. Are you aware that for approximately a decade, about half of
college graduates can’t find employment in their major fields of study? Talk about a waste of Mommy and Daddy’s
money!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

goes on to talk about different groups that voted for Trump even though they
weren’t “supposed” to. The writer
addresses his LGBT friends who voted for Trump and explains that, “You’re not
just gays. You’re OUR gays. And when you were at the polls, you were
there as Americans. You’re our brothers
and sisters. Voting for the Don was a
vote against the extremist policies of countries that donated to Hillary
Clinton that would choose to throw you off a roof because of who you love. We will fight for you. We will stand by you. Because we’re all Americans.” We’re all Americans. That’s not a concept that those on the Far
Left can possibly grasp. You can’t
possibly be an American if you don’t stand one hundred percent in lock-step
with them. The author also addresses
African-Americans who voted for Trump.
He notes that, “you voted against a party that has told you that you are
less of a person for the color of your skin . . . and a party that the pushed
our brothers and sisters of color into jobless environments and horrible
poverty. We will fight for you. We will stand by you. Again, because we’re all Americans.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

it here? This Trump supporter, this
obvious Conservative, couldn’t give a flying rat’s ass what your sexual
preferences or your skin color might be.
He cares that you are an American who loves this country, reveres its past
and greatness, and wants to see the United States continue to prosper and
progress. Well then, am I saying or
inferring that Liberals and Liberalism do not feel this way about our country? You got that fuckin’ right, Skippy! He then addresses the spoiled brats who are
rampaging through our universities. The
author declares, “Listen, college students.
And let’s be clear. I’m not
talking about the students who are hustling their faces off. Who are busting their asses. Who are going to class and working their way
through college. I’m talking to you
sniveling, crying, thin-skinned little oversized toddlers who are looking for
any excuse to skip class.” He has a
message for these overgrown infants. His
message is simple – they have already failed.
He explains that, “You have failed because you aren’t fighting to
preserve a democratic process – you are fighting to destroy it. You have failed because instead of trying to
unite us as a country, you are busy trying to get more Instagram followers by
posting pictures of you wearing your Stronger Together shirt while crying. You have failed because you don’t understand
that America didn’t just make a statement – it made a Goddamn roar – that will
put America first. We will put our
families first. Our legal citizens
first. Our healthcare first. Our faith first. Our freedom first.” He further insists, “That doesn’t make us
racist or sexist or any other title you want to hit us with in the absence of a
strong argument. That makes us
Americans.” The piece concludes, “But
cry on liberal America. We’ll send you
tissues. You’ll need them as the legacy
of your fearless leader is shredded before your very eyes. We’ll need tissues too – for ours are tears
of joy. And perhaps hopefully, somewhere
on the other side of it, we can all come together. We can stand side by side after Donald Trump
has burned the corruption and the anti-American policies to the ground. We can rebuild with our neighbors. We can
rise to new heights and be less divided than we could ever have dreamed
of. Or, perhaps not.” I am of the “perhaps not” camp. The Far Left – the Liberals – are not
interested in unity, cohesion, or love of country. They are interested only in division,
disunity, and tearing America down!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not prepared them for real life. In the

tangible post-election pall hangs in many college hallways. Students talk about how they slept little or
fitfully on election night. Counselors
are on hand to help student bodies cope with the intense feelings of sadness
and panic and with the challenging weeks ahead.” Sadness?
Panic? These fine young folks are
truly and utterly pathetic and the fact that far too many of them will be
moving into leadership positions in our country is to say the least just a tad
bit unsettling. If these weak-kneed,
lily-livered, emotional cripples are the nation’s future, we as a country are
pretty much fucked! In fact, “some
campuses encourage students to bring their pets to class for emotional
therapy. Others are even posting the
National Suicide Hotline number in case students or teachers need to talk
through their fears and desire to end it all.”

that so many of our fellow citizens don't appreciate it or that it is a

with the trauma of a future Trump Presidency by holding cry-ins and hiding out
in safe spaces with Play Doh while moronic administrators, aided and abetted by
Marxist professors provide therapy dogs and safety pins to a generation of
voting adults who are incapable of dealing with anything.” Furthermore, “For young people raised on the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> How many
of us ever think about our Founding Fathers?
How many of us ever reflect on their magnificent accomplishments and the
supreme sacrifices they made over two centuries ago? How many modern-day Americans are even the
slightest bit grateful or thankful for the gifts of liberty and freedom which
they bequeathed to us? How many
Americans alive today ever reflect on names like George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, John and Sam Adams, or Ben Franklin and George
Mason? These names should be familiar to
all Americans regardless of the fact that we have not seen the inside of an
American history classroom for decades.
When’s the last time anybody out there took the time to actually read
our Declaration of Independence, our magnificent Constitution, and the superbly
crafted Bill of Rights? Who among us can
actually explain what is included in the First Amendment, the Second, the
Fourth, or the Eighth? I’ll guarantee
you that it amounts to no more than a handful and I find that not only inordinately
sad but indescribably tragic. These men
of so long ago vowed (when a vow actually meant something) to sacrifice their
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to throw off the shackles of
tyranny and establish a new nation dedicated to and predicated upon the
concepts of liberty, freedom, self-determination, and self-rule. We were to be a nation of laws and not merely
a nation of men. We were to be a nation
not governed from the top down as had been the case throughout all of recorded
history. Our nation was to be governed
from the bottom up where the citizens actually had a say in how they would be
governed and who would do the governing.
The new United States of America was dedicated to the proposition that
government did the bidding of the people – that government served the people –
and not as had always been the case that the people served the government. For the first time in history, government was
held accountable to the people and the concept of limited government was born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Ponder that for just a moment – Limited
Government. Today, most folks hear that
phrase and yawn. If you try to explain it
or what an absolutely radical concept it was at the time, eyes glaze over,
faces go completely blank, and the conversation inevitably switches over to
football, baseball, or soccer depending on the time of year. The history of this great republic is of
absolutely no interest to most of our population and that is at the very least
troubling in the extreme. We are
becoming a nation without a past and without a memory. We are becoming a nation completely
unfamiliar with the history, institutions, and traditions that made this
country the greatest national entity in the history of mankind. No other country on earth, past or present, can
rival the United States in any meaningful way by any meaningful measure. The very idea of American Exceptionalism has
been denied or at the very least completely misconstrued by far too many of our
fellow citizens. Those folks –especially
the Liberal Democrats amongst us – believe that we are not exceptional in any
manner, shape, or form. In their minds,
we are certainly no better and probably far worse than any other national
entity that has come before us.
According to them, there’s nothing special or unique about America or
Americans. Our DNA, our genetic make-up,
is the same as any other group of Homo Sapiens that has ever populated the
globe. American human nature reflects
the same qualities and characteristics as any other nationality we can think
of. These folks demand to know what’s so
special about the United States and ridicule the concept of American
Exceptionalism as exceedingly arrogant, pompous, and hubristic. In other words, they have not even clue
number one what the term and concept of American Exceptionalism means and
encompasses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Exceptionalism does not refer to biology, chemistry, or physiology. It has nothing whatsoever to with DNA or
genetic make-up. It has everything to do
with the unique form of government created by our Founding Fathers. We as Americans were indeed the exception to
every system of governance that had come before us. We were the exception to the rule of tyranny
and oppression that had been mankind’s lot since at least forever. We, and only
we, were the exception to the long-standing rule of the people having
absolutely no freedom, no rights, and certainly no choices. We were the exception to the age-old rule of
authoritarian-totalitarian forms of government that had dominated the history
of mankind since shortly after our species learned to walk upright and use
tools. American Exceptionalism has
everything to do with the concept that government existed to serve the will of
the governed and the radical concept that the people have the ability and the
obligation to choose their own government and governors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> When
viewed properly and objectively, the concept of American Exceptionalism is
real, palpable, and a defining element of who we as a nation are (see the
American Exceptionalism Rant of 11/7/11).
How many of you out there know that after our tiny, weak, and upstart
nation beat the living shit out of the most powerful empire on earth that
George Washington was asked to become America’s first king? That’s right.
After all the death, bloodshed, carnage, and destruction that was the
American Revolution a fairly sizable segment of the American public wanted
Washington to become our first king.
Monarchy, after all, was the only form of government that these folks
had ever experienced or even heard of.
They were familiar with it, comfortable with it, and even reassured by
it. Mr. Washington’s answer was an
absolute and unequivocal, “No!” He told
his fellow Americans that our new nation was, in fact, a radical break with the
past. The United States was a new and
different concept and ideal. We would
put the individual above the state and individual rights and freedoms ahead of
an all-powerful and all-consuming government presided over by one man whose
authority must never be questioned or doubted.
Even after our first president served out his second term and was asked
to run for a third, the great man declined the opportunity. He set the precedent for the for the two-term
limit for American presidents that was later enshrined and codified in our
Twenty-Second Amendment. I wonder how
many of our modern-day presidents would refuse a chance at a third term if the
possibility existed? Certainly not the
current Tyrant Wannabe nor his possible successor, “The Shrieker.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Founders, however, knew full-well that in order to keep our Revolution alive,
vibrant, and relevant for future generations of Americans, the citizenry must
be ever vigilant, educated, and well-informed.
Those men knew that what they had wrought at such a great cost would
wither and die if the populace ever became complacent, lethargic, and
neglectful. Should the American people
fail to jealously and vigorously guard and protect our hard fought for and
precious rights, liberties, and freedoms we would lose them and once lost,
liberty can never be regained. While our
Founders knew and understood this, present-day Americans seem to have developed
a collective case of amnesia and I fear it is irreversible. Not only have we failed to protect the
rights, liberties, and freedoms passed down to us, the entire radical and
revolutionary concept of a limited government with strictly enumerated powers
beyond which it must never go seems to have been lost. This crucial idea is enshrined in the Tenth
Amendment which basically says that the government shall never, ever have more
power than was granted to it by our Constitution (see the Tenth Amendment Rant
of 9/20/11). That is simply no longer
the case. Over the decades, our once
limited government has become a grotesque, intrusive behemoth that literally
attempts to micro-manage each and every aspect of the lives of the citizenry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

absolutely no aspect of life that you can think of into which the federal
government’s tentacles don’t reach. The
concept of local autonomy and control has been virtually decimated and
destroyed. The concept of an overly
intrusive and all-consuming central government has become the norm and it seems
that most Americans are perfectly fine with this state of affairs. Most folks today are no longer cognizant of
the fact that our American Revolution was in large part fought to end the
tyranny of BIG GOVERNMET and most of us living today are more than happy to
live with the concept of BIG BROTHER!
The geniuses who wrote our Founding Documents all those years ago knew
full-well how utterly fragile representative government could be and placed any
number of safeguards into our Constitution in order to prevent the new nation
from losing sight of the fact that we
were to be a country with a very limited central government. For this reason, the Founders created three
separate but co-equal branches of government:
the Executive Branch; the Legislative Branch; and the Judicial
Branch. I’m sure you remember learning
about this all those years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Additionally, they created a system of checks and balances to ensure
that no one branch of government would become more powerful than the other
two. These wise men went even
further. They devised a system in which
certain powers were granted only to the national or federal government known as
delegated or enumerated powers. Other
powers were granted solely and exclusively to the states known as reserved
powers while still others were shared by both the states and the central
government known as concurrent powers.
All of this and much more were to insure that our federal or central
government never became too intrusive or too powerful. These men distrusted government – even the
one they created. They absolutely knew
that if given the opportunity, government would garner as much power unto
itself as it possibly could and the only thing that could prevent it was an
ever vigilant populace who valued their freedoms above all else. They understood human nature only too well
and were fully cognizant of the fact that certain men among us would always
seek and covet power of the unlimited variety.
They knew this because they had witnessed and experienced it in their
own lives. They knew this because they
were students of history and history had always told the story of strong men
grabbing the reins of power and holding on until someone stronger came on the
scene. The government they created
guarded against this as best it could, but the Founders also understood that in
the end it was up to the people of the new nation to keep the dream of the
American Revolution alive, vibrant, and meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

people have failed and we have failed miserably. The concept of a limited government has been
virtually extinguished and has been replaced by what the Founders feared above
all else. Our government today seems far
more powerful, intrusive, and arbitrary than the one the colonists rebelled
against all those years ago and it is the Executive Branch that has gone
completely rogue. Historian Arthur
Schlesinger, Jr. aptly termed it, “The Imperial Presidency,” and quite frankly,
it should be more than just a tad obvious to all but the most obtuse among us
that presidents like Barack Hussein O don’t want to merely govern but instead
want to rule with the proverbial Iron Fist.
Our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution mean less than
nothing to him and his ilk. Our Bill of
Rights which told the government what it could not and must not do to the
American people is seen as nothing more than an obstacle that must be ignored
or removed in the constant quest for ever more power and control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Madison but rather Stalin, Lenin, and Mao.
They loathe and despise the United States as historically founded and
presently constituted and have famously vowed to fundamentally transform
America into something it was never meant to be. Who are these folks? They are the LFE
(Liberal Fucking Elite) and are bound and determined to bring this country to
its knees. They loathe and despise our
history, institutions, and traditions and view our country as the world’s
greatest and most pernicious scourge.
They are the Far Left in America and they reside almost exclusively in
the Democrat Party. In their quest for
power, they have undermined, coopted, and subverted all of America’s major
institutions. They completely control
our educational system from pre-K right on up through college and
university. They are not in the business
of educating our young folks but instead are in the propaganda business and
have literally brainwashed our nation’s youth into hating their own
country. The LFE also has a death-grip
on our media, both electronic and print, and our entertainment industry is
almost completely dominated by those on the Far, Far Left. Our so-called news outlets are anything but
fair and objective – as they should be – but instead have devolved into nothing

created they’d be spinning in their graves at warp speed. If these extraordinary men could somehow find
their way back here, they’d demand a second American Revolution that would
restore what they created at such a great cost.
The sacrifices they made were seemingly for naught as we contemplate the
fact that what was to be a very limited government in which the ultimate power
rests with the people has morphed into a humongous centralized government in
which the people are virtually powerless and exist only to serve the needs of a
huge, out of control government. At the
Constitutional Convention all those years ago, the founders took a break from
their labors. As Benjamin Franklin emerged
from Independence Hall a woman approached him and asked what kind of government
he and the other members of the convention were going to give us. He answered, “A republic, Madame, if you can
keep it.” Much to our shame, we haven’t
kept it but instead have given it away.
No foreign enemy has taken it away from us because no foreign enemy is
powerful enough to do so. No, we have
voluntarily surrendered our precious rights and liberties because we have
utterly and shamelessly failed to protect our rights and freedoms that our
forebears fought so long and hard to win for us. The wonderful and exceptional legacy they
bequeathed to us has been squandered, wasted, and sullied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entitled, “Prophetic Warnings From America’s Founding Fathers (</span><a href="http://thepublicslate.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://thepublicslate.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
speaks to the points made above. The
author queries, “Is it possible that the early witnesses of our country’s birth
had the insight to look into the future to our day as they provided prophetic
warnings of the danger they saw coming?”
The Founders knew that what they had created could all too easily self-destruct
if the American population stopped appreciating the unique and exceptional gift
that was our new nation. The article
quotes Alexis de Tocqueville who came here from France and wrote his Democracy
In America. In his tome, he recorded
certain dangers and vulnerabilities that he saw as possible threats to the new
nation. One of the dangers he identified
was that of affluence. The Frenchman
noted that, “When the taste for physical pleasures in such a nation grows more
speedily than education or the habit of liberty, a time occurs when men are
carried away and lose self-control at the sight of the new possessions they are
ready to grasp. There is no need to
wrench their rights from such citizens, they let them slip voluntarily through
their fingers. The exercise of their
political duties seems to them a tiresome nuisance.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

around you, folks, and tell me this remark doesn’t apply to current-day
America. Participation in elections at
all levels is way down while participation in “entitlement” programs has
reached dizzying heights. We’ve become a
nation of “gimme’s” and there is apparently no end to the “hands-out
generation’s” thirst to be provided for from cradle to grave. For generations now, the accumulation of more
and more “goodies” seems to have become the top and all-consuming priority of
far too many of our fellow citizens.
Even those who are deemed poor in our country are fabulously wealthy
compared to the poor in other nations.
It seems that even those in our lowest quintile possess flat screen
TV’s, sound systems, micro-wave ovens, a stove, a refrigerator, and even a
dishwasher. We must not, of course,
forget the ubiquitous and ever present cell phones, Kindles, I-Phones, and lap
top computers that abound in even the poorest of neighborhoods across our
country. This is not poverty. This can only be described as affluence when
measured by global standards. This kind
of affluence, our forefathers warned, could spell the death-knell for our
representative republic. When raw
materialism began to outweigh civic duty and responsibility, moral decay creeps
in and the body politic is infected with a virtual dry-rot that eats at the
very fabric and foundation of American society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author
of the piece notes that like a prophet de Tocqueville, “saw past the amazing
new adventure in democracy as he visualized its potential disaster. His ominous, prophetic warnings of a time
when the citizens of a free republic may become carried away and lose
self-control when the developing taste for physical pleasures overwhelms their
commitment to participate in the democratic process.” Alexis de Tocqueville warned that this
constituted a serious threat that citizens of a democracy must constantly guard
against. The author of the piece
observes that when, “one considers the anemic participation in most of our
recent elections it appears that we have come to the precipice of that peril.” Indeed, “people seem to be taking for granted
what a free society has secured for them and mistakenly think that these thing
are guaranteed. The line between liberty
and entitlement is quickly disappearing.”
This foreigner who came here so many years ago to observe this
phenomenon, this Great Experiment, was at the very least extremely prescient if
not actually prophetic. He accurately
noted that, “a citizenry could become overly concerned about the perks they can
receive while forgetting the principles that made the country great. He feared that voting citizens would begin to
elect leaders who would provide these perks.”
The author asks, “Is it possible that America has reached that point as
a nation?” Care to ponder that question
for just a moment?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Founders of this great nation also warned of conditions under which the new
republic could be corrupted and destroyed from within. They realized, for example, that to veer away
from the Constitutional precepts and principles of our Founding could and would
prove utterly disastrous. One of the
things that George Washington warned about are what have come to be called
Executive Orders which are in reality no more than fiats and edicts. Do you remember Obama’s threat if Congress
failed to pass legislation that he deemed important? He actually threatened to by-pass Congress
and thereby the American people when he reminded us that he’s always got his
pen and his phone. Who needs the will of
the governed or our Legislative Branch when our Socialist-in-Chief can sign an
executive order that has the force of law?
Thus far, Obama has literally ignored our Constitution purposely,
gleefully, and with malice every single time the opportunity has presented
itself. Thankfully, he won’t be around
much longer and even more thankfully “The Shrieker” won’t succeed him. I’m willing to bet the ranch, however, that
in his remaining time we’ll see an absolutely dizzying array of Executive
Orders emanating from the White House as he prepares to leave office.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

president, “foresaw a time when controlling leaders would bypass the
Constitution for the sake of instituting what he called an instrument of
good. He clearly believed and predicted
that ignoring the Constitution would be the weapon by which free governments
are destroyed.” The author is absolutely
correct here. Our Constitution is, in
fact, the supreme law of the land and without it our nation is akin to a
rudderless ship at sea. Without our
Constitution interpreted according to the original intent of the Founders, the
magnificent nation they created crumbles and falls. No building can long stand without a strong
and stable foundation and that is exactly what the Constitution provides for
our country. It is the solid bedrock
upon which the United States was built and has prospered. Those who constantly and continually chip
away at that foundation are fully cognizant of the damage they are doing and
these are the very types against whom the Founders warned. In his Farewell Address, Washington spoke
directly to this point when he said, “If, in the opinion of the people, the
distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular
wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates.” He continued and warned, “But let there be no
change by usurpations; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument
of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

mistake here, folks. Our freedoms and

is us. American citizens on the Far Left
have absolutely no respect or reverence for the oldest functioning written
Constitution in extant. They see it only
as a product of a past that no longer applies to America in the 21<sup>st</sup>
Century. To them, our Founders are no
more than a bunch of long dead white guys who have absolutely no meaning in
today’s world. According to the LFE in
our midst – who are decidedly anti-America – the Founders, our Founding
Documents, and all of the traditions and institutions that made America great
must be scrapped and discarded. They
should be completely ignored, distorted, or perverted by our educational system
so that our young folks will never be taught the magnificence of their own
heritage and birthright. It is a tragedy
of epic proportions for without an America as historically founded and
presently constituted, the world will have lost the single greatest force for
good in the history of mankind. The
world will become far less stable, far more chaotic and dangerous, and
immensely less charitable and humane.
This is exactly and precisely what those on the Far Left in our country

founding, he’d be reduced to a state of tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The same
piece referenced above also noted the fears for our nation’s future expressed
by the Father of the Constitution. If
James Madison could somehow find his way back here, he’d be both disgusted and
nauseated. He’d realize immediately that
the sacrifices endured and experienced by his revolutionary compatriots had all
been for naught. If he could witness the
extent to which our limited government has grown, he’d be sickened. If he could witness how intrusive and
grasping the federal government has become, he’d be heart-broken at the way
American citizens had forsaken and foresworn their duty and their
diligence. The piece notes that, “James
Madison, referring to a bill to subsidize the cod fishing industry in 1792,
sounds like he is describing the overreach of the federal government we are
witnessing in the twenty-first century.”
Madison warned that if, “Congress can employ money indefinitely, for the
general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare,
they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint
teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public
treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, the
establishing in like manner schools throughout the union; they may assume the
provision of the poor were the power of Congress to be established in the
latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute
the very nature of the limited government established by the people of
America.” You’ve got to read Madison’s
warning one more time and do it slowly.
Talk about prophetic! Talk about
understanding human nature and the nature of government! Madison knew the dangers and pitfalls that
would befall the Republic if the populace failed in their duty to guard against
the growth of government. He absolutely
knew and understood that once a people stopped guarding and protecting their
rights and freedoms, they would indeed lose them and lose them forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Madison’s
dire warning has particular relevance for conditions in our country as they
exist today. Every facet of American
life that Madison elucidated has come under the jack-booted control of our
completely untethered and unfettered central government. Look around you and see for yourself. Under the auspices of the Far Left, for
example, Americans are once again getting paid for sitting on their asses and
doing nothing but holding out their hands.
Way back during the 1990’s, we went from welfare to, “workfare.” It used to be that in order to receive what
you didn’t earn or deserve, you had to prove that you were at least looking for
gainful employment – for some way to improve your condition and become less of
a burden to your fellow citizens. No
More! With the stroke of his infamous
pen, Obama permitted the lazy and the slothful among us to continue to be
so. There is no more work requirement
and the welfare rolls in this country have sky-rocketed to dangerous
levels. Welfare is now generational and
this was something that was never intended.
If a citizen needed a temporary hand-up for a limited period of time
then so be it. We have always been a
compassionate and caring people and charity comes naturally and comfortably to
us. Welfare, however, was never intended
to become a permanent way of life, but under the Bamster and the Far Left it
has become just that. Madison knew that
this could easily happen if the American people lost sight of their Founding
and their traditions and unfortunately and tragically, they have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

another example of Madison’s vision?
Certainly. I give you
Obamacare. Our nation used to have the
finest health and healthcare systems on the planet until, of course, the
federal government under the Far Left decided to decimate and destroy it. The unconstitutional Affordable Care Act now
controls over one-sixth of the entire American economy. Once the government controls your health and
healthcare, it controls every aspect of your life and I mean that
literally. After all, can you think of
any single activity that can’t in some manner be related to your health and
healthcare? You can’t, can you? Going to
work can put your health at risk, as can driving your car or riding your
bicycle. Playing football, baseball,
dodge ball, or tennis can be dangerous and therefore must be controlled and
regulated almost out of existence.
Literally anything you can think of can be related to your health and
healthcare and what most dunder-headed Americans don’t seem to realize or
appreciate is that the more control the federal government has over the lives
and activities of its citizens, the citizens become that much less free,
independent, and autonomous. This is
exactly what the LFE amongst us want and need.
They demand a population dependent on government for all of its wants
and needs which the government would provide.
This Socialist utopia, however, would come at the cost of freedom and
liberty. All of the Founders knew this
and valiantly guarded against it.
Success, however, depended on a population that took freedom and liberty
seriously, valued their importance to our very way of life, and did not take
them for granted!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

prophetically precise. In his prophetic
warning of the danger of subsidizing an industry, Madison is basically asking
where the line would be drawn. He fears
that such a policy would lead to government intrusion in religion, the
educational system, and the provision for the poor. His concern was over Congress
for the general welfare as a way of expanding the overreach of the federal
government.” Anyone out there who takes
an honest look at conditions as they exist in America today, can’t help but
agree with the concerns Madison expressed.
His vision for America is all but dead and buried. We have succumbed to the Liberal prescription
of how countries and people should be organized and run. We have come to the point where we more
closely resemble socialized Europe than the nation our Founders bequeathed to

may be too late to return to our roots and reclaim our glorious and unique
history as an exceptional nation. The
author continued that the, “man often referred to as the father of the
Constitution apparently felt that this would lead to a destructive
transformation of the constitutional concept of limited government.” Well, we certainly don’t have that limited
government any longer and tragically most Americans alive today have absolutely
no idea that the nation was created on the basis of a very limited,
non-intrusive, and distant federal government.
Most of us today are more than comfortable with government intrusion
into all aspects of life in the United States.
It is the “norm” and the vast majority of citizens have never known
anything else. They are completely
unfamiliar with the Founders and their theory of governance. Our educational system no longer teaches
these things or they present them in such a distorted fashion that they have
not the slightest resemblance to the truth of American history. The piece concludes that, “the controversy
surrounding the amount of power to be granted to the government is the primary
issue in modern American politics. How
much power shall we grant the government to manage the welfare of its citizens? That is the question that divides the country
into liberal and conservative camps.

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> What
Madison saw coming was a sea-change in the nature of the American people. One of the Founders’ most important and
prescient messages was that government was never, ever to be trusted. The governed must always be suspicious of
government – all government at all times.
Government should in fact be feared if it ever became too powerful or
too intrusive. If our population ever
became docile, complacent, ignorant, and disinterested, government would pounce
like a beast of prey on a defenseless and unwary victim. If the American people ever let their guard
down, the government would literally devour them. If the governed ever learned to trust
government, then our Great Experiment would come crashing down and with it our
hard fought for rights and freedoms.
These lessons that the Founders passed down to us have been completely
lost, forgotten, and ignored. Far too
many of us have ceased to be concerned over the out of control growth of
government and what it means for the future of the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Far too
many of us now view government as our friend and protector. We want government and depend upon it to
provide for all of our wants and needs from cradle to grave. We have given up. We have surrendered. We have capitulated. After all, raising the white flag is far
easier and less demanding than vigilance, courage, and fortitude. Our Founders would be horribly ashamed of
what we’ve become. We no longer value
such quintessential American traits and characteristics like rugged
individualism and self-reliance. We have
completely trashed and trampled concepts like depending on ourselves for our
own happiness, success, and fulfillment.
The vaunted and fabled American Dream has turned into a vivid and
horrifying nightmare because we as a nation have abandoned our birthright as
proud and free Americans. Far too many
of our fellow citizens no longer have an appreciation for the greatness and
goodness that is America. Almost no
Americans value the tremendous sacrifices made by the Founders and others of
that generation. Those that forged and
founded our great country would be ashamed of us if they could see what has
become of their glorious creation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entitled, “Are Our Founders Rolling In Their Graves?

is relevant here. The author believes
that the Founders are indeed rolling over in their graves and that, “the reason
is rooted in shame. I believe that our
founders are deeply ashamed of us, their posterity, for allowing the government
they created to become this monster that assumes power it was never intended
they possess, and at the same time stripping the people of their God-given
rights.” The writer assumes that we the
people have been stripped of our rights while I believe it is we the people who
have abandoned and thrown those rights away.
We simply didn’t care enough to cherish and protect them but foolishly
presumed that we would always have them.
If something is worth having then it’s certainly worth protecting and,
conversely, if it’s not worth protecting then it’s certainly not worth
having. We have become so used to having
things handed to us that we don’t appreciate or cherish them but rather we take
them for granted. Once liberty and
freedom are taken for granted, they will soon disappear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

rights and the ascendancy of the individual are no longer valued, a rapacious
government will happily move in and assert the ascendancy of an all-intrusive
and all-powerful state. This is
inevitable and it is happening in our country right now. Under the “stewardship” of Obama and the LFE,
the state has assumed more and more power over the lives and prospects of the
citizenry than it has since we gave old King George the boot all those years
ago. No wonder the author of the piece
believes that our Founders would be ashamed of what we have become. He notes that people, “seem unwilling to
accept the fact that our founders entrusted us, the people of this country,
with the responsibility of watching over our government. It was our sacred duty to ensure that it
stayed within the limits imposed upon it by the Constitution.” We have completely abandoned that sacred duty
and because of our inattention and neglect, the last eight years has witnessed
the expansion of the federal government not seen since FDR’s so-called New
Deal. Under the Obama Monarchy, we have
witnessed an abuse of power that would have made old King George literally
green with envy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the article notes that George Washington once declared that the,
“preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican
model of government, are justly considered deeply, perhaps as finally, staked
on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” Perhaps Mr. Washington placed too much faith
in the wisdom of the American people. We
have not lived up to the promise that was the American Revolution and we have
literally spat upon the supreme sacrifices suffered by those who made it
possible. Indeed, “Sadly, many people
today are of the belief that the Constitution no longer holds any
relevance. They are of the opinion that
since things have changed in the two hundred plus years since it was ratified,
the Constitution is open to broader interpretation.” Who are those Americans amongst us who
believe this kind of pap? Who are those
that want to completely undermine and destroy that which the Founding Fathers
created at such a great cost? Yup, you
got it. Those would be the saboteurs on
the Far Left who want to destroy our representative republic and replace it
with a statist, top-down, Socialist form of government that ignores the
individual rights, freedoms, and liberties that are protected by our Constitution. These folks just don’t like America and they
are bound and determined to rip it apart starting with its very
foundations. They want to completely
destroy the very concept of American Exceptionalism which has sustained our
nation since its inception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the LFE are successful in their never-ending quest to destroy America as
historically founded and presently constituted, the world will have suffered a
loss from which it will never recover.
The forces of tyranny, despotism, and authoritarianism will be unleashed
as never before and the world will become a dark and foreboding place the likes
of which we can only imagine. The author
of the piece referenced above notes that Henry Clay explained that the,
“Constitution of the United States was made not merely for the generation that
then existed, but for posterity – unlimited, undefined, endless, perpetual
posterity.” Clay had it right. Our Constitution is the very bed-rock of our
nation’s character and foundation.
Without it we are no longer the United States as envisioned by the
Founding Fathers. Samuel Adams agreed
and noted all those years ago that the, “liberties of our country, the freedom
of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards, and it is our
duty to defend them against all attacks.
It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation,
enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by
violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false
and designing men.” OF FALSE AND
DESIGNING MEN. There are no more false
and designing men in our nation than those on the Far Left and our Founders
would have deemed them just as dangerous as the Red Coats who tried to put down
the American Revolution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author
of the piece correctly maintains that the United States has veered radically
from its original course and that, “the government we have today is far more
oppressive than that of King George.
This change did not occur suddenly, or by way of violent usurpation of
powers. No, the steps taken to get us to
this point were small, incremental, yet nevertheless designed to place us under
the thumb of a tyrannical government.”
Our present-day tyrants are the Far Left Liberals who have never
understood or appreciated the utter collective genius of the men who founded
this amazing nation. The statists in our
midst want to see the end of the world’s last and best hope and if they
succeed, a new Dark Ages will befall the planet that will make the original
seem like the Age of Enlightenment. The
article explains that with, “each unconstitutional law our government has
passed we have strayed slightly off course.
Each time we failed to heed the advice given us by our founders has
caused us to lose our bearings. Now what
we have is a government that regulates, restricts, and taxes almost every
aspect of our lives.” This cannot be
denied by anyone possessing the intellect of a half-bright ten year-old. Even those on the Far Left don’t deny these facts
but instead, they gleefully celebrate them for this is exactly and precisely
where they have plotted and planned to bring us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
election of our current Tyrant Wannabe eight years ago proves this point beyond
any shadow of a doubt. The author continues
that what, “is even sadder is that the government, often by popular demand of
the people, has been stripping us of the very rights our founders sought to
secure for us. I just can’t understand
why people would willingly ask their government to pass laws that limits their
freedom. Even if the people plead
ignorance, the fact remains that their ignorance, or apathy is reducing them to
slavery.” Ignorance and apathy describe
far too many Americans in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century and it seems that there
is no end in sight. Too many of our
fellow Americans have been dumbed-down and brainwashed by an educational system
that has been completely corrupted and controlled by the LFE in America. Those graduating from our high schools and
colleges have learned to loathe and despise the United States and all that it
stands for and represents. When young
citizens no longer know or understand their own history, the nation is doomed –
literally doomed. They have been raised
and suckled at the teat of BIG GOVERNMENT which is seemingly growing ever
bigger and all-encompassing with every passing year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Founders warned us about the growth of government and it was Thomas Jefferson
who said, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking
care of them.” That’s the whole point
here. Too many of us have come to depend
upon government and have completely abandoned even the pretense of rugged
individualism and self-reliance. Those
qualities have virtually no place in our socialized and bloated government. President Ronald Reagan not all that many
years ago explained what he called the eleven most dangerous words in the
English language which are, “Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to help
you.” These words are the absolute and
utter antithesis of what our Founding Fathers created. They are anathema to a free and independent
people who value and cherish their history and traditions. The author of the article notes that our,
“nation is corrupt, not only morally, but we have corrupted the principles upon
which it was founded. We no longer have
a limited government, but a government which we look to for assistance to solve
all our problems.” We depend upon the
government to provide us with safety, security, and everything in between. Remember, folks, Old Ben warned us about this
and he was absolutely right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Where does the blame lie? It lays
with us – all of us. We let it happen by
abandoning our history and precious birthright.
We have ignored and denigrated our amazing traditions and institutions
that set us aside from and above every other nation that has ever existed and
we have done so at our own peril. We
have no one to blame but ourselves. In
the words of one Michael Liu @RepublicanChick, “The danger to America is not
Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the
Presidency. It will be far easier to
limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary
common sense and good judgement to a depraved electorate willing to have such a
man for their president. The problem is
much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what
ails America. Blaming the prince of
fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him
their prince. The republic can survive a
Barack Obama, who is after all, merely a fool.
It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made
him their president.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> American
society is coming undone. It is
unraveling with blinding speed and there are those out here, including myself,
who feel that the destruction has come close to reaching the point of no
return. There are those of us who look
around our country and wonder whatever happened to the concept of E Pluribus
Unum? I’ve never seen our country this
divided, fractious, and polarized. Group
and/or identity politics rules the day and there seems to be little if any
grounds for optimism or unification. There
exists in our nation today so many factions and disparate entities that even the
task of merely identifying all of them is at best daunting and at worst
virtually impossible. It seems as though
everyone is permanently pissed off at everything and every body. I get the very distinct feeling that this has
become the so-called “new norm” and that in the minds of far too many, it’s the
way things should and must be. The idea
of compromise, of listening to the other side, and reaching some sort of middle
ground where no one gets everything but everyone gets something has been
replaced by an all or nothing attitude that leaves absolutely no room for
anything but total victory or total defeat.
It’s an all or nothing mentality that must by definition exacerbate
rather than ameliorate the problems facing our nation be they real or
imagined. This “us” against “them”
mindset and attitude can only lead to further division and discord and it’s
getting to the point that calling ourselves the United States of America is
fast becoming a grotesque oxymoron. We
are anything but united and are growing less so with every passing year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the only point of unity I can seem to find between and among the various and
sundry “groups” that exist in America today is that each and every one of them
claims to be highly aggrieved and their particular grievances far outweigh
whatever grievances are claimed by other groups that endlessly compete for the
title of, “Most Highly Aggrieved And Put Upon!”
To be aggrieved in 21<sup>st</sup> Century America seems to be a
particularly coveted status and is worn as both a badge of honor and
courage. The more “aggrieved” one is
perceived as being, the more face-time one garners on both network and cable
outlets. The more “aggrieved” a group is
perceived as being, the more federal and private dollars flow into the coffers
of that group’s treasury. Achieving the
status of “aggrieved” seems to be a growth industry in modern-day America and
virtually guarantees appearances on the TV talk show circuit as well as
photo-ops in the nation’s most popular tabloids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

attempt at making a simple list of groups and the grievances they claim as
their own and discovered that it’s literally an impossible task. It seems that everyone wants to climb aboard
the Grievance Bandwagon and make as much noise as possible in order to
publicize their unfair treatment by the “other”. Well, let’s see. We can start with those groups and
individuals that claim and are accorded what has come to be termed “minority
status”. It used to be, all those years
ago, that being in the minority was not particularly enviable. Those in the smaller numbers were treated
shall we say differently from the mainstream majority and were often treated
unfairly and unequally. It was to their
advantage, then, to assimilate as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. There was a tremendous and understandable
desire and urgency to fit in – to blend – with mainstream America and to
downplay whatever differences existed between the majority and minority. That, however, seems no longer to be the
case. Each separate identity group in
our country today seems to revel in their status a “different”. Each of these groups and the individuals
therein apparently relishes the concept that they are indeed different from
those in the so-called mainstream and go out of their way to highlight and
underscore said differences. They seem
to take great pride in constantly pointing out that they are not like “us” and
have absolutely no desire to be. They
seem to stand proudly on the Pedestal of the Aggrieved and take great delight
and comfort in constantly blaming the rest of “us” for whatever real or
imagined trials and tribulations that confront them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> So, who
are, “they?” Well, of course, we can
point to those who are and have been, “racially aggrieved.” You know, the constant and never-ending
Black-White Thing that has seemingly been with us since at least forever and
shows no sign of abating in the near or distant future. The latest incarnation of the Racial Divide
is this whole BLM (Black Lives Matter) phenomenon that is currently sweeping
across America to the detriment of black lives, white lives, brown lives,
yellow lives and in fact to all lives.
Other minorities, of course, need to assert their aggrieved status. These would include but are certainly not
limited to our Hispanic or Latino brothers and sisters who, they say, are
constant targets of bigotry and racism. For
information regarding this aggrieved minority, just Google “La Raza” and you’ll
get quite an education. Let us not, of
course, forget the grievances claimed by the “fairer sex” in America
today. For many years – since at least
the 1960’s – women have felt discriminated against by the male portion of the
population. It’s gotten to the point
where far too many women view men as the enemy.
They are constantly portrayed as brutal throwbacks and misanthropes only
one step removed from our primitive cave man days. Groups like the National Organization for
Women (NOW) claim they want to be treated equally and fairly but this simply
isn’t so. They don’t want equality and
parity but rather they desire power and superiority. There is a huge difference between demanding
equal status and demanding total dominance over a perceived enemy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Additionally, we must not fail to mention
those aggrieved members of the various and sundry sexual preference groups that
are constantly flaunting their displeasure at how unfair life in America has
become. We used to have only the
homosexual (oops, I mean Gay) vs. the heterosexual divide to pay attention to
but it has become far more complicated than that in recent decades. Now, we must worry about how lesbians are put
upon and picked on and we certainly can’t ignore the trials and tribulations of
our bi-sexual and trans-gender minorities among us. It must be excruciating, for example, to have
been born a man but to feel way down deep that you’re a woman. How about those unfortunate, tortured souls
who were born female but “identify” with the male gender? Oh, how they must suffer! What public bathroom, for example, should
they use? Well, that depends upon which
gender you identify with on any given day.
Hey, how about this as a general rule of thumb? If you have breasts and a vagina – it’s the
ladies room for you. If you are
possessed of a penis and testacles – you’re going to the men’s room! How’s that for simplicity itself?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

going and try to identify still more aggrieved identity groups sprouting up all
over the national landscape. How about
all those immigrants – both legal and illegal – and their allies in the Open
Borders Crowd? They, of course, are
opposed by those among us who want a sane, rational, and comprehensible policy
of immigration that respects our borders, language, and culture as well as our
sovereignty. Those in this camp believe
that a nation’s immigration policies should and must put the country’s best
interests first, foremost, and always.
The well-being of prospective immigrants must always be at best
secondary to this nationalistic goal and ideal.
We must not, of course, fail to mention the seemingly growing schism
between and among the various religious groups and movements residing within
our borders. For some reason, for
example, members of the Roman Catholic version of Christianity have been
increasingly stigmatized, criticized, and singled out over the last few
decades. Those belonging to any branch
of the Jewish faith have for literally thousands of years been singled out and
targeted by religious bigots worldwide, including the United States. Muslims, of course, because of ties to
Radical Islam have had a particularly rough time of it since 9-11 but for
reasons of political correctness must never be criticized in any manner, shape,
or form. To do so would invariably lead
to charges of bigotry, racism, and Islamophobia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that the list of aggrieved identity groups in our country could go on ad
infinitum but the examples presented thus far clearly and unambiguously serve
to highlight a glaring and dangerous flaw in America’s fairly recent past. Far too many of us out here no longer think
of ourselves as American first but instead as whatever grievance or identity
group with which they identify. You ever
ask someone the seemingly innocuous question, “What are you?” The answers are both predictable and
disturbing. You’ll get all kinds of
responses depending upon where first loyalties reside. “I’m Polish,” or, “I’m Italian,” or, “I’m
Hispanic.” We’ve all heard this and so
much more. “I’m gay (if one is out of
the so-called closet),” or, “I’m Muslim,” or, “I’m black and/or
African-American.” Do you see the
problem here?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Whenever
I’m asked that question, my answer is always and invariably, “I’m an
American!” I say it with tremendous
pride, love, and reverence and I’m not even one iota the least bit ashamed of
it or embarrassed by it! I understand
that I was lucky enough to have been born into the greatest country God ever
gave mankind and I am forever grateful for it.
Do we have our faults?
Certainly. Can we do better as a
nation and a people? Absolutely. When I look around the planet, however, I
come to one glaring and overwhelming conclusion. There’s simply no other place I’d rather have
been born and no other place I’d rather live, spend my life, and raise my
family. No place on earth at any time in
history can possibly compare to the United States on any meaningful level by
any meaningful measure. Apparently, at
least tens upon tens upon tens of millions of immigrants – both legal and
illegal – agree with me or they wouldn’t be so willing and eager to leave
everything they have ever known and insist upon coming to our country. Pride in country, nationalism if you will, is
absolutely necessary for a nation’s continued existence, progress, and
prosperity. There is no denying or
getting around that simple fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

together as one people and one nation. Being
Americans and being for America first has been a common thread throughout our
history and has held us together as a strong, confident, proud, and optimistic
entity. A firm and resolute belief in
the very real concept of American Exceptionalism has given us a sense of
purpose and unity without which we could not have possibly risen to the status
of the world’s greatest, most powerful, wealthiest, and most generous nation in
the history of history. There has never
been a country like ours and in all likelihood there will never, ever be one
again. It just ain’t gonna happen!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

nationalism, of pride in country, has been drastically eroded and that, in
fact, we are becoming “Balkanized” (see The Balkanization of America Rant of
3/20/13). We seem to be quickly
splintering into a dizzying array of groups and disparate interests that is
completely antithetical to a spirit of unity, cohesion, and common
purpose. If this continues unabated –
and I’m convinced that it will – then this great nation, this shining light and
beacon to the world, will cease to exist as historically founded and presently
constituted. When that happens, the world
will become far much worse than it is today.
Without American strength and leadership, the planet will become even
more dangerous, chaotic, and unpredictable than it is at present.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

then, has caused this drastic sea-change in our country which has gone from a
nation united and steadfast in purpose and resolve to a country that is largely
characterized by seemingly insurmountable division and discord? What has turned a proud and united nation
into a squabbling den of various groups and special interests that have
absolutely no desire to get along with one another? What has happened to that glue of nationalism
and patriotism that led this country to greatness? What has become of the real and quite palpable
notion of America first? Why is it so
rapidly disappearing? To my mind, the
overwhelming reason for the country’s downward spiral is Liberalism run
amok. The Liberals among us make no
effort to hide the fact that they loathe and despise the United States as
historically founded and presently constituted.
Their disdain for and dissatisfaction with the United States literally
oozes from their very pores. They mean
to turn this nation into some form of Socialist “paradise” in which government
is a top down affair and unlimited in scope, size, and power and so intrusive
that it is involved in every and all aspects of the lives of the
citizenry. Those members of the LFE
(Liberal Fucking Elite) do not and cannot trust the average citizen to make
proper decisions regarding their own lives let alone decisions that involve our
nation and its future. No, no. We little folks must trust our “betters” to
make those weighty decisions regarding the life and direction of our
country. We are expected to relinquish
all of our rights and power to a massive and centralized federal government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

best for the LFE to accomplish its goal of literally destroying our nation and
completely undermining our long held and cherished institutions, traditions,
and customs? Well, it’s an old tactic
but one that has proved successful over the centuries: divide and conquer. These anti-Americans purposely and
strategically pit groups of Americans against one another in an effort to
create as much discord and division as possible. They do not want a united, proud, and
patriotic population that feels blessed to live in the United States. They desire as much disunity, confusion, and
friction between and among the disparate groups and entities in our country as
they can possibly foment and foster.
They want this country to become so mired down in the internal quagmire
they create that both local and state governments become so overwhelmed as to
be completely dysfunctional and incapable of performing basic responsibilities
like keeping the peace and protecting life and property. When local and state entities become
hopelessly overwhelmed, there remains only one solution: call in the federal
government to solve the problems and restore order and stability. This is a tactic espoused by two Columbia
University professors way back in the 1960’s.
It is called the Cloward-Praven Principle and has been championed by the
likes of Saul Alynsky who authored his Rules for Radicals all those years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Divider-in-Chief and his successor-wannabe Hillary Rodham. Both of these saboteurs have no desire to
merely govern but rather they want to rule with the proverbial iron fist. They care not one whit about the will of the
people and the concept of limited government responsible to the citizens who
elected it is just something they just can’t wrap their Socialist,
anti-American little minds around. Our
Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and especially our Bill of
Rights are viewed only as obstacles to be undermined in their relentless effort
to garner power and control for themselves and the anointed few who they deem
worthy. The American people mean less
than nothing to them for they are only interested in self-aggrandizement and
power. In their warped view, we exist to
serve them and their needs and they owe us absolutely nothing. They owe the country nothing, our Founders
nothing, and our children less than nothing!
The best and most efficient way for them and their ilk to succeed in
their nefarious attempts to basically transform America is to create as much
dissension and discord as possible and to disunite this nation as completely
and thoroughly as they can.
Unfortunately, in this they are the ultimate experts!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the reason for the amazingly rapid rise of what may accurately be termed
America’s Grievance Industry and Culture which is the ultimate expression of
the us versus them mentality that seems to have become America’s defining
characteristic in recent years. Its most
recent embodiment, as mentioned earlier, is the entire Black Lives Matter (BLM)
phenomenon. This is supposedly a
home-grown, spontaneous, and grass-roots movement sparked by the rash of police
killings of innocent black citizens. It
seems, according to BLM, that white cops get up in the morning asking
themselves, “I wonder how many Niggers I can kill today?” According to this narrative, white cops are
overwhelmingly racist and long for the days of the Ante Bellum South or at
least the Jim Crowism of the period of Reconstruction which followed the Civil
War. If they can’t achieve these goals,
they will settle for conditions as they existed prior to the passage of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. To listen to
the leaders of the BLM movement, there has been virtually no improvement in
relations between the races and that America is just as racist as it has always
been and that cops exist solely for the purpose of enforcing and perpetuating
that racism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

particular grievance group, however, is anything but home-grown and
spontaneous. It is extremely well organized and more to the point
well-funded. According to the latest,
“Limbaugh Letter,” Black Lives Matter is anything but a spontaneous, authentic
response to out of control police brutality directed against so-called people
of color in America. According to
Limbaugh, “George Soros and Democrat-connected groups, run mostly by left-wing
whites, exploited a 2012 Zimmerman protest into a multi-million dollar
political front with 39 chapters worldwide.”
The newsletter notes that BLM funding sources include one hundred
million dollars from the completely left-wing Ford Foundation and another
thirty-three million per year from the Soros Open Society. Other leftist groups that contribute to BLM
include: Democracy Alliance; Freedom Road Socialist Organization; Millennial
Activists United; Sojourners; Black Alliance for Just Immigration; ACLU;
Organization for Black Struggle; and Race Forward. Well, so much for home-grown and
spontaneous! The Limbaugh Letter also
gives the lie to another BLM falsehood that cops, especially those of the white
variety, indiscriminately and wantonly murder black Americans. In fact, “Of all violent deaths suffered by
blacks, the percentage due to cops is infinitesimal.” Most folks will never know these kinds of
facts because they are simply not reported in the mainstream press which for
decades has been nothing more than just another front group for the Far Left in
our country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

every single damned thing we say or do for fear of offending some minority
individual or group. As the author of
the piece cited above points out, “I’m suffering from a diagnosed case of acute
racial fatigue.” The writer continues
that, “I’m sick and tired of hearing superficial discussions about race,
especially when that talk implicates whites and infantilizes blacks.” Well, isn’t that a breath of fresh air for a

not something the author is all that concerned about and I just wish there were
a lot more folks like him out there. The
author goes on to note that, “I’m especially exhausted of hearing talk from
condescending white progressives who enable and encourage blacks into
maintaining their embrace (revelry) of the false narrative of victimization at
the hands of the system, the amorphous, undefinable organism whose sole purpose
is keeping blacks from getting ahead.”
He’s right you know. Everybody
seems to want to be perceived as a victim because victims are perceived as
being innocent of any and all wrong doing.
They can’t be blamed for their own plight, situation, or
dissatisfaction. After all, how can you
blame the victim?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

victimhood mentality and mystique is an attempt to blame individual and group
failures on someone or something else.
Who and what is out there to blame?
In far too many cases, the answer is the majority and in our country
that means white America. Didn’t get
that job? Racism. Didn’t get that promotion? Racism.
Didn’t get accepted to that college or university? Racism.
It’s the easy way out. It’s the
coward’s way out. Rather than looking
inward and placing the blame where it belongs, it’s always easier to find a
convenient scape-goat. Introspection and
self-reflection can be tough so why bother if we can find a convenient target against
which to vent our anger and frustration?
The article continues that these, “embarrassing demonstrations happening
across the country increase racial fatigue because those engaging in them do so
at the expense of their dignity and credibility. These people have willingly ignored the facts
and evidence of this case (Trayvon Martin) in a grandstanding attempt to keep
whites responsible (guilty) for perpetrating racial discrimination and at the
same time obligated to perform penance of indeterminate length – defined by the
racial grievance industry – with no assurance of absolution.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

absolutely right – racial fatigue has definitely set in as well as grievance
fatigue and victimhood fatigue. What
comes after fatigue, I wonder? Backlash
and payback? Unfortunately, that’s what
I see coming and probably in the not too distant future. Most Americans, I believe, just want to live
their lives peacefully and quietly and go out of their way not to offend or
harm anyone who hasn’t offended or harmed them.
Most Americans are, in fact, aware that there are certain groups among
us who have indeed been treated unfairly at times. But most Americans alive today have had
nothing whatsoever to do with said treatment.
Most of us are perfectly willing to live and let live but more and more
of us are finding out that we are not accorded the same respect. The majority finds that it is being blamed
for absolutely everything and anything that has gone wrong in America. Those on the Far Left and those who make up
the Grievance Industry-Culture in the United States are constantly pushing
their agendas on the rest of us to the point that our reserves of sympathy and
empathy have just about been used up. The
LFE’s constant denigration of America has become, to say the least,
grating. The incessant, never-ending
accusations and complaints of those groups who comprise the Grievance Culture
are increasingly falling upon deaf ears.
There will come a point when the majority will simply no longer tolerate
the constant whining, carping, bitching, and moaning of those who claim
aggrieved status. When we see, as is too
often the case, that the aggrieved among us turn to violence as a way to
ameliorate those real or imagined grievances our tolerance quickly evaporates. That willingness to understand and to make
allowances for society’s so-called victims quickly morphs into anger and
resentment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Democrat controlled media and the so-called mainstream press delight

objectivity or fairness. The press has

propagandists for the Far Left in our midst.
The author notes that, “Grievance is the organizing principle of modern
liberalism, the coin of the realm.” Indeed,
“Every aspect of society is subject to political calculations weighted heavily
with grievance variables. The quest for
‘social justice’ is all about treating some people unfairly, to punish them for
their privileges and transfer wealth and power to the deserving.” Who constitutes the deserving in America
today? Certainly not the majority but
rather any aggrieved minority with an axe to grind. It’s getting to the point where the majority
is becoming thoroughly fed up and disgusted with what’s going on in our nation
today and while the aggrieved are out there busily grinding their axes, many in
the so-called majority are just as busily sharpening theirs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Indeed, it
seems that, “Grievance has become the only pure source of moral authority in
our culture. For the most part,
achievement is denigrated and actively punished. Hard work is for suckers. Religious authority is considered null and
void. Traditional morality has been
bulldozed. Designated victims, and those
who claim to be fighting for them, are the new secular saints, and they can get
away with almost anything.” Read that
last one more time and do it slowly. The
Far Left in our country has succeeded in destroying or transforming, if you
will, many of our most cherished and time-honored traditions that have
historically made America great and this is being done purposely and with
malice aforethought. Moral authority has
been eroded to the point of disappearing.
Achievement counts for nothing anymore and hard work is the object of
scorn and derision in modern-day America.
Religion is mocked and ridiculed and traditional morality has been
replaced with moral relativism in which there are no standards of right or
wrong or good and bad. There are no
absolutes anymore and therefore there can be no such thing as absolute truth. Rules, laws, and traditions have absolutely
no place in our New World Order and the America most of us have grown to love
and revere is being decimated by a tsunami of this thing called Political
Correctness. It’s my fervent hope and
belief that the so-called silent majority out there are themselves becoming
seriously aggrieved, aggravated, and angry.
We are tired and fed up with the constant tidal wave of lies,
distortions, and unwarranted criticism about ourselves and our country. We are increasingly frustrated by the fact
that those who would rip us apart and tear our nation asunder for the most part
walk away from the mayhem and destruction they create completely
unscathed. We have to weigh and consider
our every word and action for fear of hurting someone’s feelings while THEY can
get away with burning down neighborhoods and assassinating cops! As some wise man so astutely put it, “FUCK
THAT SHIT!” I have the distinct feeling
that when it comes – and it is coming – payback’s gonna be an absolute and
utter Bitch! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the piece also notices that, “Every attempt to hold them accountable is
dismissed as an oppressive assault on the righteously aggrieved. Their excesses are excused, because the
powerless must get loud and rowdy, in order to combat an oppressive society and
draw attention to their plight. Often
these excesses are blamed on society, portraying the aggrieved as hapless
puppets of capitalism, imperialism, racism, or sexism.” Predictably, “Grievance culture grows
inevitably nasty because the aggrieved are persuaded that following the rules
is pointless, since the deck is hopelessly stacked against them.” So, instead of, “holding a rally, they block
traffic or occupy public spaces to compel attention. Such confrontations can all too easily escalate
to violence,” and this is exactly and precisely what those on the Far Left want
and desire. Remember that one of their
primary tactics is to create as much chaos and disorder as is possible so that
the average citizen feels overwhelmed and powerless to influence let alone
control events. The Far Left wants to
instill a sense of hopelessness and helplessness among the citizenry to the
point where the average American will look only to Big Brother to restore a
reassuring sense of order, sanity, peace, and stability. Those among the Liberal Fucking Elite in
America want to bring us to the point of demanding safety and security above
all else including those precious rights delineated in our Constitution. Have we come to that point we are willing to
sacrifice liberty for security? If so,
please remember what Ben Franklin said all those years ago. He insisted that those who would sacrifice
liberty for security deserve neither. He
was right. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

goes on to observe that the so-called social engineers among us, “assure large
swathes of the American population that they don’t have any legitimate
grievances at all, which naturally makes those Americans angry and bitter. The media doesn’t seem interested in
interviewing the many people who are put out when Black Lives Matter shuts down
major thoroughfares, or even roads leading to hospitals. The implicit message is that the designated
losers in these social clashes need to shut up and take their lumps. The designated losers look upon chaos in the
streets and wonder why they’re paying exorbitant taxes for infrastructure and
order.” Well, speaking as one of those
designated losers, I’m getting more than just a tad fed up with what’s being
purposely perpetrated on my country by people who obviously despise
America. I’m also getting increasingly
angry and frustrated about the fact that we collective designated losers are
willing to put up with this shit without even a murmur of objection or protest.

our living rooms and witness the glorification of common thugs and
criminals. We see neighborhoods go up in
flames, cops being assassinated, and our country’s flag being desecrated and
destroyed and we don’t make a fucking peep!
Why? Pure cowardice and political
correctness, that’s why. The “perps” are
invariably black or brown and we are deathly afraid of being labeled RACIST if
we voice even the slightest hint of objection or disapproval of the wanton
lawlessness we seem to witness on an almost daily basis. To even suggest that these street thugs and
rent-a-mobs should be stopped in their tracks will trigger an avalanche of
racist charges and slurs and that’s more than enough to shut most of us
up! Until we in that great silent majority
decide to grow a pair and take our streets and our country back, we deserve
exactly what we get. The author of the
piece notes that, “It’s no surprise that this has all gotten worse under
President Obama. He swept into office promising
miracles, which were not delivered. He
blames his failures on the same political, class, and racial enemies his
constituents have been taught to despise for much of their lives. The message sent to those constituents is
that their greedy, racist enemies are more powerful than ever and the system is
rigged worse than it’s ever been before.

prevail against those forces of oppression.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I agree. The system is rigged but it’s
not rigged against our benighted minorities who for at least the past
half-century have been pampered, coddled, and appeased. The majority in our nation literally shake,
quake, and tremble with fear every time those in the minority make yet another
demand that if not met will lead to violence and bloodshed. We are being held hostage in our own nation,
our rights are being trampled on and destroyed by those in America’s Grievance
Culture-Industry. One of this country’s
greatest and most important gifts to the world was the solemn promise of an
even playing field. No one starts ahead
of or behind the line. We all start from
the same place and go as far as our natural talents, abilities, and desires can
take us. That is no longer the
case. The myriad numbers of aggrieved
minorities in our midst have a decided advantage over the rest of us and we are
getting increasingly angry and frustrated at this state of affairs. Those who would pander and kow-tow to the
loudest and most violent in our country are going to pay for their decision to

therein lies the fucking rub! Thirty,
forty, fifty, or one hundred years ago, these questions were easily answered
and the vast majority of Americans stood squarely and resolutely in the
extremely patriotic camp. There was
little if any doubt, confusion, or angst in answering these questions. There was no shame or embarrassment involved
in answering these questions. There was
no shame or embarrassment involved in being patriotic and love of country was
indeed the norm. You see, back then
America was united, proud, and sure of itself. Americans were very cognizant of the concept
of American Exceptionalism and we reveled in our unique founding and the fact
that it was a radical departure from and break with thousands of years of human
history and development. There had never
been in the history of history a country like the United States of
America. We were indeed both unique and
exceptional. As a nation, we were
unified, proud, and very confident about the future. There was no doubt that America’s best days
were yet to come and that we would continue to be the world’s leader and
mankind’s best hope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
Thorndike-Barnhart Advanced Dictionary defines patriotic as, “loving one’s
country,” or, “showing love and loyal support of one’s country.” Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus
defines a patriot as, “one who loves and zealously supports one’s own country.” As we look around at our nation today, I
wonder how many Americans would proudly, confidently, and unabashedly “admit”
to being patriotic and proclaim out loud in front of God and everybody that
they love the United States of America?
I would venture to guess that the number is significantly less than it
was just a few decades ago. I would also
guess that public displays of anti-Americanism are far more numerous than public
displays of what might be termed pro-Americanism. Look around at your own neighborhood, for
example, and count the number of American flags on display. When I grew up it was a common and familiar
sight. Not anymore. In fact, showing the colors is indeed a rare
thing even on special occasions like the Fourth of July. You’d be surprised, by the way, at how many
Americans don’t recognize that date and couldn’t tell you the year we declared
our independence from Great Britain.
This isn’t just sad, it’s tragic almost beyond description. If, in fact, the average American citizen
doesn’t feel proud to be an American, then our nation is in very deep
trouble. Patriotism is necessary for a
country’s continued survival. Without
patriotism there can be no nationalism – no love of country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and nationalism have been the glue that has bound this country together and
made it the greatest nation in the history of mankind. The fact that literally millions upon
millions of Americans don’t recognize the legitimacy of the concept of American
Exceptionalism is more than just a tad troubling. Too many of our citizens see us as no better
than any other national entity on the planet.
Far too many of us feel that to publicly display love of country is no
more than a quaint, outdated, and useless notion that simply has no place in
the 21<sup>st</sup> Century. It’s viewed
as old fashioned, antiquated, and completely out of step with the present
day. Nationalism and patriotism are out
while globalism and one-worldism are in.
We are admonished to think of ourselves not as American citizens first
but rather as global citizens whose allegiance must transcend old, outmoded
concepts like love of one’s country and pride in its accomplishments. We are to view America as but one of over one
hundred and ninety other nations around the globe and that we are no better and
probably a lot worse than any of them.
We should place our allegiance and loyalty on foreign, international
organizations like the United Nations and the World Court over and above our
loyalty and devotion to our own history, traditions, and institutions. Our own borders, language, and culture are
meaningless in this new age of globalism in which pride in nation and loyalty
to country must be stamped out and destroyed in favor of devotion to some
“visionary” and utopian New World Order.
In this brave new world (to coin a phrase) the individual is completely
subordinate to the state and all must work in concert for something nebulously
referred to as, “the greater good.” To
this end, long held and cherished American traditions like rugged
individualism, self-reliance, and self-determination must be swept away. All decisions from the smallest to the
largest will be made for us and not by us by an omnipotent and all-intrusive
STATE reminiscent of Orwell’s BIG BROTHER.
Our own wants, needs, and desires must be completely subordinated to
some larger authoritarian-totalitarian entity that controls every aspect of our
lives from cradle to grave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Liberalism and its lemming-like adherents. Yes, I know.
That will sound far too simplistic to many folks out there. They can’t believe that it’s not far more
complicated and convoluted than this.
But remember Occam’s Razor: all
things being equal, the simplest explanation is almost always the correct
one. Liberalism and its hard-core
followers in the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) literally loathe and despise this
nation and, tragically, for the most part they are native born American
citizens. They have lived their lives
here, been educated here, and work here and yet they ardently and passionately

Additionally, we can point to Obamacore that constitutes nothing less
than an attempt to completely take over America’s educational system from pre-K
right up through college and university (see the Obamacore Rant of 7/29/13). It is a blatant attempt to control and
dictate the educational curricula of every single school and student in the
entire nation. It is nothing more than
undisguised and unabashed extortion.
“Well listen here school district XYZ, you do what we want or you’re not
gonna get those millions upon millions of federal dollars that you so desperately
need!” How’s that sound? Yet, this is standard operating procedure for
the LFE that controls what our children learn and even think. It is nothing more and nothing less than
brainwashing. It certainly doesn’t
qualify as, “education.” Furthermore, our
educational system and institutions at all levels are overwhelmingly populated
by Far, Far Left teachers, administrators, principals, college professors, and
university presidents. Our kids are
literally and purposely taught to despise the United States of America. They are forced to “learn” that the U.S. is
nothing more than the world’s largest aggressor and oppressor with absolutely
no redeeming qualities or values. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and/or distorts all the good that this nation has accomplished in the
world. In other words, our children are being
lied to day in and day out, year in and year out. They are not being taught honestly about the
greatness and goodness of their own country.
They are never taught patriotism or nationalism but rather just the
opposite. They are taught to loathe and
despise their own country and after twelve to sixteen years of being pounded
with this Far Left anti-American Bullshit, they end up believing it and living
it. It is both a travesty and a tragedy. These folks who are in charge of a large
chunk of the lives of our young ‘uns are not educators or teachers but instead
are nothing more than propagandists for the Far Left in our country and this
has been unrelenting and pervasive for well over fifty years! Patriotism and nationalism are not in-born or
instinctive traits. They must be taught,
learned, and reinforced just as anti-Americanism must be taught, learned, and
reinforced. It is no more complicated
than that. In this regard, the LFE has
been highly successful in their mission of turning our youth against their own
nation. Today’s students, of course,
will one day be our future leaders, shakers, and movers. They will set our national policies,
priorities, and agendas. It is always so
and what we learn in our youth stays with us forever. What we were taught as young people is what
we will pass down to our children who will pass it on to their progeny. Literally generations of our children have
been denied the truth about the United States and have been taught to despise
and denigrate it. This can only mean
that patriotism, nationalism, and pride in country are being stamped out and
this is being done purposely and passionately.
Once a population “loses” these qualities, this country as historically
founded and presently constituted will cease to exist! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Socialist-in-Chief and are now used to literally change the nature and
structure of our nation. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under our Far Left leadership has but one
purpose. Of course, you say, to protect
the environment right? Wrong! The EPA is now being used to completely
undermine and destroy both the concept and experience of private property which
has always been a hallmark and highlight of the American journey (see the
Environmental Protection Agency Rant of 5/28/13). Perhaps you have achieved the American Dream
of owning your own home. Congratulations
and well done! But there’s this really
big tree in your front yard and you need to take it down. Why you want to cut that tree down which is
on land that you own is nobody’s business but yours. No problem.
The only decision you have to make is whether to do it yourself or hire
a tree service to do the work for you.
Simple enough? Nope, because here
comes the EPA to perform its environmental impact study. The Agency discovers that your tree is
actually the home of some endangered beetle, bug, or other type of insect and
you are prevented from cutting down that tree on property that you own. Where’s your right to private property
now? Right down the toilet like so many
other cherished American rights that those on the Far Left want to
destroy. Care for another example? Absolutely.
Let’s go to your backyard. You’re
having a drainage problem. Every time it
rains really, really hard you’re left with a small lake instead of a yard. You don’t want that. You want to regrade the property so that the
problem is solved. Once again,
nope. The EPA swoops in and declares
your back yard to be a “wetland” and cannot be touched! Bye-Bye private property rights. These constitute but two examples that the
government has used the EPA to undermine and destroy long-held and revered
American rights and traditions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

collection agency. It’s easier to commit
murder in this country and get away with it than it is to avoid paying your
taxes! Hell, the IRS has literally
thrown octogenarians into prison for failure to file and pay up. I kid you not. For all of its coercive power, however, it is
supposed to remain completely fair and unbiased. It doesn’t matter if you are a Republican,
Democrat, Communist, or completely a-political.
You don’t pay, you’re fucked!
Doesn’t matter if you’re gay, straight, bi-sexual, or any other damned

Obama and his mob don’t like the Tea Partiers and, in fact, have set out

Obama and his jack-booted comrades have denied the Tea Party folks the
right to politically organize effectively by not allowing them the right to
raise money in order to support their political views and candidates they wish
to see elected. The Tea Partiers have
over and over again applied for tax exempt status so that they can better
participate in the electoral process.
Has Obama treated groups that support his destruction of the United
States the same way? That’s a rhetorical
question. What do you suppose are the
offenses, the sins, committed by the evil Tea Party organizations out
there? Well, let’s see. First, they want this country to return to
the very, very limited government envisioned and created by our Founders. Yeah, that’s really dangerous. Second, these “seditious” types want to
return to a strict interpretation of our magnificent Constitution. They are what’s known as “originalists” and
for this, of course, they must be severely punished with constant IRS
audits. These audits, for those of you
who haven’t experienced the pleasure, are brutal, unending, and can lead to
financial ruin and a stint in a federal lock up. Yeah, we’ll show those dangerous, seditious
Bastards who love their country and want to return America to its former
greatness a thing or two! Furthermore,
these wacky Tea Partiers want to take the radical step of returning this
country some semblance of fiscal sanity.
They fully understand that a nineteen trillion dollar national debt is
not even close to sustainable. They
would like to see another amendment added to our Constitution that requires the
government to spend only within its means.
You know, just like you and I must do.
Yup, we’d better get rid of these Tea Party guys!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

That’s right, he’ll completely ignore the House, the Senate, and the

rather they want to rule. After all,
it’s such a bother governing according to the will of the people. I really don’t believe the wannabe dictator

is relevant here. The author queries,
“The question is, where have these positive and patriotic attitudes gone and
how can we as Americans get them back?”
Damned good question, don’t you think?
The author goes on to say that, “Notably, negative events cultivate
negative attitudes. For example,
students in some public elementary and high schools no longer recite the Pledge
of Allegiance. Because of this, students
are missing out on one of the first instances of American pride.” Additionally, she notes that, “the nation is
currently so intensely divided politically that young people who are growing up
in this environment are being educated more on hating and disagreeing than on
the many reasons why they should be proud of their country.” Author Jessica Kolner goes on to note that,
“Loving your country and being proud to be an American is something entirely
separate from supporting one political party over another; it is entirely
separate from anything the United States has ever done, politically or
otherwise, in the past.” She explains
that, “American patriotism appeals to your heart. It’s an admiration for our Founding Fathers, a
respect for what is written in the U.S. Constitution. It’s an intense appreciation and gratitude to
those who have fought and gave their lives so that we may live freely. But most of all, American patriotism is the
belief that you have been undeniably blessed to have been born in the greatest
country in the world.” Amen and
amen! I wonder how many of us out there,
especially among America’s youth, can read that last and say they agree with
it? I would venture to guess that those
numbers are declining precipitously and this next presidential election may
well provide a definitive answer to that question. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

complete failure of the current leadership in our nation at present on both
sides of the aisle but especially on the part of the Far Left Liberal
anti-American crowd. When a population
loses faith in the leadership it hasn’t necessarily lost faith in the nation,
its history, or traditions. The remedy,
of course, used to be to vote the Bastards out and elect a new set of Bastards
until they screw things up. This
technique seemed to have served us well for most of our history. I believe, however, that this is no longer
the case. We have reached a turning
point of a sort. So many Americans seem
to have lost faith in the system, not just in one party or the other. This seems to be a rare thing in our
history. There seems to be more
disaffection, confusion, and division in our nation than has ever before

of unity, a sense of purpose, and a sense of cohesiveness patriotism cannot

of the piece uses ancient Rome to support his premise. He notes that, “America wouldn’t be the first
society to decline because it lost the support of its citizens.” He notes that when the Roman Republic fought
Hannibal’s Carthage in the Punic Wars, it lost almost 100,000 men in a mere two
years. The Romans, however, refused to
give up but instead persevered and eventually achieved victory. This was because Rome had the, “support of
their citizens – mostly free farmers who felt they had something worth fighting
for in spite of their losses.” He then
contrasted this to the, “sack of Rome by roughly 30,000 Visigoths in 410
A.D. Rome then was a huge empire. Yet most Romans living on the public dole
didn’t feel they owed any loyalty to the rulers and their wealthy supporters.” The point here is, obviously, Rome witnessed
the death of patriotism and nationalism.
The loyalty and love of country that had existed under the Republic had
completely evaporated. The Roman Empire
had become nothing more than a shell of
its former self – a paper tiger, if you will.
The similarities between then and now are frightening. More Americans than ever before are living on
the dole and sucking at the public teat. We are awash in a sea of food stamps,
public housing, and free Obamaphones. There
are over ninety-four million Americans who can’t find employment, and our own
Rubicon has been crossed by armies of modern day Visigoths who have zero love
or loyalty for America. The similarities
between then and now are more than just obvious. They are a clarion call and a dire
warning. They are a harbinger of the
destruction of the greatest nation God ever gave mankind. Patriotism, love of country, must inevitably
suffer under these conditions and it is my contention that those on the Far
Left in America can’t wait for the day when it all comes crashing down! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dying?” The writer notes that, “Many
Americans are starting to feel the same way about our country. We must remember that when we elect our next

bottomed out? As I look around the
current political-social landscape, I am anything but reassured. Has our great country run its course and will
soon take its place on that so-called ash heap of history? If this is indeed the case, then we have no
one to blame but ourselves because we let it happen. We will not be invaded by some hostile

Democrats in our country are Hell bent on creating as much disunity in America
as is possible. They are busily
sabotaging our country and instilling in Americans as much confusion,
self-doubt, and uncertainty as is humanly possible. Their leader, our very own Saboteur-in-Chief,
gleefully oversees the loss of American patriotism. He knows full well that as a population loses
patriotism, a void is created that must be filled because as the old saying
goes, nature abhors a vacuum. What will
fill that vacuum? Reliance on a highly
centralized, all powerful, and all consuming federal government. The ultimate goal is a population which is
totally dependent on government for all of its wants and needs. This, obviously, entails the loss of
individual freedom and liberty and the abandonment of all of our cherished
traditions, values, and institutions.
Under these circumstances, patriotism – love of country – cannot fail to
wane and decline. Only a confident and
optimistic people can maintain the necessary levels of patriotism for continued
progress and success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

accurately notes that our strength, determination, and perseverance led to our,
“independence, liberty, self-governance, and a land of rich resources which
paved the way for great opportunity.
Through our brief history, America has shown the resolve to uphold
freedom and crush oppression and tyranny around the world.” The writer insists that, “Belief in our
principles had made America strong,” and we made it, “our responsibility to
protect the weak and cast out the wicked.”
Yeah, that sounds like the country into which I was born and have
learned to love and cherish. Something,
however, has changed over time and it does not bode well for America’s future. The piece maintains that, “it seems as though
America has had a decline in patriotism and pride in our country in recent
years. This can be seen in our country
through the growing disrespect of soldiers and veterans, the distrust of our
government, the self-absorbance and ignorance of our population, and the abuse
of our freedom of speech.” Can anyone
out there seriously disagree with this assessment of our national condition?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

can, then you are absolutely part of the problem and that problem is Far Left
Liberalism run completely amok! The
problems we face today are the result of at least fifty years of the LFE
continually attacking their own nation
and filling the hearts and minds of our youth with lies and distortions about
our history and role in the world. The
Far Left’s unrelenting attacks on this nation’s values and virtues have taken a
heavy toll. Once the seeds of self-doubt
and loss of confidence take root, feelings of patriotism and belief in the
nation can’t help but steadily erode and disappear. The author concludes that, “America must find
her patriotism again to regain her strength.
What’s happening in America now, has happened in past civilizations. The Roman Empire crumbled because its people
lost their way. They forgot the
principles which made their nation great and paid greatly for it. We must be smarter than they were. We must remember what made our country
great.” Good advice really, but I fear
that far too many Americans can’t remember what made America great because they
never learned what made America great.
Liberal control of our educational system and all of our media outlets
have seen to that. When patriotism is
not taught, it ceases to exist and a loss of patriotism spells the decline of a
nation and ours is no exception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Thus far,
the evidence for the decline of American patriotism has been presented in
anecdotal fashion which is certainly useful and instructive. It might be interesting to ponder some
statistical evidence to support the hypothesis that Americans are steadily
becoming less and less patriotic. A
piece entitled, “American Patriotism is Dying a Slow Death: The Pride Americans
Feel For Their Country is Slipping Away (</span><a href="http://www.infowars.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.infowars.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
provides insight here. The article
begins by stating that, “there was a time not too long ago when Americans
were so patriotic it was palpable. You
couldn’t throw a rock in any direction without hitting someone with stars and
stripes in their eyes. There was a near
unanimous belief that we were the shining city upon a hill, and that we were
and always would be the greatest nation on earth.” Well, not so much anymore. The author maintains that, “the sentiment is
still there I suppose, but you can almost feel it evaporating a little bit
every day. The pride Americans feel for
their country is slipping away, and that is an undeniable fact.” Indeed, a World Values Study notes that in
terms of patriotism, America is actually behind countries like Mexico, Rwanda,
and Armenia. In fact, only 56% of
American claimed that they were very proud of this country which was down from
over 62% in 2009. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">
Additionally, the author points out that in 2009 the number was over
62%, 71% in 2004, and 77% in 1999. Do you
see a pattern here? Pre-Obama, the
percentages of Americans who declared themselves to be extremely proud of the
nation were significantly higher than they have been since that America-Hating
Son of a Bitch took office! I see a
direct correlation here. How about
you? The piece maintains that we have
become a nation of basically good people, “led by narcissistic psychopaths,”
which exactly describes Obama and his sycophants. The piece concludes that, “Those of us who
have justifiable reasons to lack pride in our nation are not a minority of
extremists. We actually love America or
at least what America was supposed to be.
But we know that nation is very nearly gone, and has been replaced with
something despicable.” That’s really
quite a statement and an indictment when you think about. I will always love this country as founded as
well as its historical mission in the world.
Like the author, however, I am disgusted and revolted by those in power
and I am equally horrified by my fellow countrymen who voted them into office.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is particularly revealing. Author
Jeffrey M. Jones explains that as, “the nation prepares to celebrate
Independence Day, 52% of U.S. adults say that they are extremely proud to be
Americans, a new low in Gallup’s 16-year trend.” The piece continues that, “Americans’
patriotism spiked after 911, peaking at 70% in 2003, but has declined since,
including an eight-percentage-point drop in early 2005 and a five-point drop
since 2013.” Not very encouraging, is
it? Most disturbing, however, is the
loss of patriotic feeling among our nation’s youth and unless that trend is
somehow reversed I believe it will eventually lead to the death of this great
country. A nation’s future lays with its
young people and once they lose faith in the goodness of their own country,
there is very little hope for the future.

that are significantly less likely to be patriotic than in January 2001, before
the 911 rally effect. At that time, 51%
of 18-to 29-year-olds were extremely proud to be Americans,” The writer notes
that because, “No one who is 18 to 29 today was in that same age group in 2001
or 2003, the trends in patriotism among young adults could be evidence that
those in the Millennial generation are less patriotic than young adults in
generations that preceded them. And that
generational change may help explain why there has been a further decline in
patriotism among all U.S. adults over the last three years.” This is the result of Liberalism. As mentioned earlier, the Far Left in America
has had a literal death-grip on America’s educational system from pre-K up
through college and university. One of
their main goals has been to turn America’s young folks against their own
country and they’ve done one Hell of a bang up job! Congratulations LFE!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

times of insecurity, we were led by the words of our leaders to rise above fear
and doubt. Roosevelt’s calm assurance
that we had nothing to fear but fear itself, or Kennedy’s plea to ask ourselves
what we could do for the country, as well as the themes of a Great Society and
a Shining City on a Hill, played not to our fears, but to our hearts. And, as Americans, we were inspired to share
in our country’s challenges as well as in her greatness.” Who’s out there inspiring us now? Good old Barrack Hussein O with his, “I’ve

about Banshee Hillary who infamously asked after learning of four American

years of anti-American propaganda shoved down their throats and hammered into
their mushy brains by an “educational system” that doesn’t give a flying fuck
about educating but cares only about propagandizing. The piece goes on to say that, “To those who
hold a competing image of the United States – as a shining city on a hill, as
the font of freedom, as a country of faith, hope and charity, as the product of
a divine plan, as the defender of democracy and the last best hope of mankind –
this vision needs no fundamental transformation. The rising tide of patriotism is a response
to the assault on these American ideals, a defense of the first new nation founded
in liberty. Patriotic Americans are not
yet ready to give up the fight.” No, we

that long ago, I penned a screed detailing and describing something called
Agenda 21 (see the Agenda 21 rant of 7/18/12).
Simply put, that was nothing less than another attempt by the United
Nations to destroy our country and, yes, it really is that simple and
straightforward. The United Nations and
the majority of its member states hate, loathe, and despise America to the
point of irrationality. The whole damned
place literally seethes and wreaks with a virulently rabid
anti-Americanism. Agenda 21’s primary
engine of our destruction is environmental issues and environmentalism to usher
in our demise. The United States, as
well as other developed Western nations, would be forced to comply with such
strict and draconian regulations that our Free Market Capitalist socio-economic
system would come to a screeching and grinding halt. Our economy would be completely and utterly
destroyed and our standard of living would plummet to the level of most
Third-World Shithole nations that populate the UN’s General Assembly. Agenda 21 dealt with America’s so called
immense “carbon footprint” and set out to force us to comply with international
standards that would cut that footprint down to levels acceptable to the New
World Order contemplated by those America-hating thugs headquartered at New
York City’s Turtle Bay. Those scum-dogs
at the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change obviously have not clue
number one as to the crucial role played by Carbon Dioxide as it relates to
life on our planet – all life. Without
CO2, life simply cannot exist for without it there is no oxygen – none.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

life on the planet livable and tolerable.
They don’t comprehend that without this “Greenhouse Blanket” that
envelopes the globe, the average temperature of the earth would soar to a balmy
140 degrees Fahrenheit! These buffoons
at the UN don’t know didley-squat about global warming, climate change, or any
other damned thing that relates to the environment. They have completely politicized science
which is something real, serious scientists passionately abhor. They have thoroughly eschewed the basics of
the Scientific Method and replaced it with far, far Left propaganda. This propaganda is used to brainwash the
planet’s gullible and most vulnerable of the world’s population: the young and
impressionable. These Bastards cram this
bilge down the throats and into the minds of the world’s young – including our
own – until they are no longer capable of independent or creative thought. The world’s youth have been taught that man
himself is evil incarnate and that the United States epitomizes that evil like
no other force in planetary history. The
world’s young are bamboozled and flim-flammed into believing that the only way
to save Mother Earth is to bring the United States and other developed Western
nations to its knees. These phony fucks

so. Tragically for us and the world, far
too many so-called leaders buy into this bullshit. Environmentalism has nothing at all to do with
the environment but instead is used as a giant war club to bludgeon and punish
us. The totally bogus science of Catastrophic
Climate Change is being employed to destroy the greatest, wealthiest, most
powerful, and most generous of nations in the entire history of nations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This,
then, brings us to the point of this particular rant. The venal schemers at the United Nations have
introduced and are implementing what’s known as Agenda 2030. This latest UN debacle in no way replaces or
supplants Agenda 21 but rather works in conjunction with it. While Agenda 21 focused on environmental lies
and distortions to destroy us, the new and improved Agenda 2030 focuses on
everything else. Seriously, there is
virtually no aspect of human activity or endeavor that it doesn’t
encompass. Like Agenda 21, it is
designed to do nothing but destroy the United States as historically founded
and presently constituted. A piece
entitled, “The 2030 Agenda: This Month the UN Launches a Blueprint for a New
World Order With the Help of the Pope (</span><a href="http://www.zerohedge.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.zerohedge.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is revealing here. The author notes
that, “Agenda 21 was primarily focused on the environment, but the 2030 Agenda
addresses virtually all areas of human activity. It truly is a blueprint for global
government.” Global government? You bet your ass! The proponents of these bullshit agendas are
nothing more than unabashed Globalists and One-Worlders. They are all on the very far Left and want to
see the planet’s population governed, ruled, and controlled by international
bodies like the United Nations and the World Court. There will be no more independent
nation-states with their very own distinct borders, language, and culture. No, you see, for these are merely antiquated
relics and vestiges of the Old World Order and that will simply not stand in
the 21<sup>st</sup> Century.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Establishing
a New World Order is, of course, nothing new.
It has been attempted at various times and places in world history. Old Adolph gave it his best shot in the last
century as did Hirohito and Tojo in the Pacific region. Uncle Joe Stalin did his damndest as did
China’s Mao. They all wanted to usher in
their particular visions of utopia and ended up causing the deaths of well over
a hundred million souls as these fucking maniacs were busily establishing their
versions of Heaven on Earth. Whenever
you hear the term New World Order, you should at the very least cringe and be
very, very afraid. In all the New World
Orders ever proclaimed, there is no such thing as freedom, liberty, or
autonomy. Concepts like rugged
individualism, self-reliance, and individual achievement based on merit are
stamped out and destroyed. Sacrificing
all for the so-called Greater Good and prostrating oneself at the altar of
authoritarianism and totalitarianism is seen as the highest of virtues. George Orwell eloquently and presciently
wrote about this in his ageless novel, 1984.
This is what these anti-American Humps at the United Nations want,
desire, and require.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for the most part, Socialists, Communists, and tyrants and concepts like
liberty and freedom are anathema to them.
They are threatened by these very Western cornerstones of civilization
and brutally stamp them out whenever and wherever they rear their heads. Well, if Agenda 2030 – and Agenda 21 – are
really so threatening to our way of life, our traditions, and our institutions
why do almost no Americans seem to be aware of it? Have we become so fat, lazy, complacent, and
satisfied that we can no longer recognize a threat to our existence? Has our basic instinct for survival been so
dulled and decimated that we can’t recognize or even perceive a threat to our
way of life and survival as a sovereign, independent nation? Apparently so. As the author of the piece correctly notes,
“the UN document promises that this plan will transform our world for the
better by 2030, and yet very few Americans have even heard of the 2030 Agenda
at this point.” He’s absolutely
right. The vast majority of us have
never heard of this Agenda 2030 thing.
He explains that instead, “most of us seem to be totally obsessed with
the latest celebrity gossip or the nasty insults that our puppet politicians
have been throwing around at one another.”
He continues that it, “absolutely amazes me that more people cannot
understand that Agenda 2030 is a really, really big deal. When will people finally start waking
up?” Damned good question, don’t you
think?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
Preamble to Agenda 2030 affords a look into the mindset of those who champion
this Far Left scheme to destroy our national sovereignty and to diminish our
individual freedoms, rights, and liberties.
Like so much about those who push global agendas on the rest of us, it
sounds very high-minded and even altruistic.
It sounds extremely compassionate, caring, and humanistic. Once we get past the flowery language and the
euphemisms, however, it becomes obvious that it is really about nothing but
total and absolute control over every and all aspects of life on the planet and
that’s not an exaggeration. This is
precisely what the One-Worlders and Globalists envision as their ultimate
goal. It is the pinnacle of all their
hopes, dreams, and aspirations. To most
of us “normal” folks, this sounds far too fantastic to be taken even slightly
seriously. These guys must be deranged
and probably suffer from some form of debilitating mental illness. This reaction is, of course, understandable
and yet it is extremely dangerous. To
underestimate an enemy always is. Not to
recognize a threat means we are not prepared for it and being unprepared will
always come back to bite you right in the ass!
Think Pearl Harbor. Think the
rise of Adolph Hitler after WW1. America
and the West in general were woefully unprepared. We let our guard down and did not take the
ranting and raving of maniacal enemies seriously and the consequences were
devastating for America and the world.
It’s happening again in our own time.
Too many Americans as well as those in other developed Western nations
did not take the threat of Islamic terrorism seriously. How’d that work out for us?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The same
is true when it comes to schemes and plots like Agenda 2030. The Preamble begins by explaining that, “this
Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace
in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating
poverty in all its form and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the
greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable
development. All countries and all
stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this
plan.” Wow-Fucking-Wee!! How great does this sound? Talk about compassion. Talk about utopia on earth. Well, I guess so, until you analyze this
Preamble rationally and clearly. How,
one wonders, will this thing called Agenda 2030 be implemented? Exactly how will poverty finally and forever
be eradicated? How will universal peace
be accomplished and this larger freedom become a reality? Here’s a hint. Re-read that last sentence dealing with all
countries and stakeholders who, “will implement this plan.” This is the language of coercion and
force. This is the language of a
Statist-Authoritarian mindset. This
Preamble is Globalism writ large and has no regard whatsoever for the opinions,
goals, and desires of anyone else. There
is no thought regarding national sovereignty or individual liberty and freedom
for under the New World Order these antiquated concepts will have been
destroyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Preamble goes on to say that we, “are resolved to free the human race from the
tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and
transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a
sustainable and resilient path.” Bold
and transformative steps? What might
those steps entail? Shift the world –
how? Apparently those who champion
things like Agenda 2030 don’t feel obligated to answer questions like
these. We are simply expected to accept
them at face value and not worry our fuzzy little heads about silly details
like implementation and consequences.
Those who are far better and brighter than us will sweat the details and
we peons must simply follow while they lead.
The author of the piece referenced above notes that Agenda 2030 claims
to seek to, “foster human well-being, prosperity, peace and justice on a
healthy planet and pursue respect for the human rights of all people and gender
equality.” Well, queries the author,
“Who doesn’t dream of a world of peace and dignity for all? They make it sound so wonderful and non-threatening. They make it sound like we are about to enter
a global utopia in which poverty and inequality will finally be
eradicated.” Yeah, they do make it sound
grand don’t they? Who could possibly
object to such lofty and laudatory goals?
Just remember the Trojan Horse or that crafty wolf in sheep’s clothing. Keep in mind concepts like Globalism and
One-Worldism and you’ll be on track to understanding the real and very
dangerous goals of those who support Agenda 2030. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The Agenda
2030 crowd, as you may have noticed, are very fond of using words like
sustainable or sustainable development.
It’s a catchy and pithy phrase.
Well, what could possibly be wrong with a concept like sustainable
development? How could sustaining
development be a problem? On the
surface, it sounds like a positive thing.
It sounds like these folks are talking about something benign and even
beneficial for mankind and especially for people who live in what’s called the
undeveloped or under developed world. It
sounds like a plan to improve the lives of the planet’s poor and impoverished
billions. What could be bad? Please be assured that if it is something
proposed and championed by the anti-American Scum-Dogs at the United Nations,
it is something purposely and deviously designed to harm this country. There is absolutely no doubt about this. The author of the piece asks, “What does
sustainable development actually mean, and how does the UN plan ensure that it
will be achieved globally?” He explains
that it is, “clear that the U.N. and its supporters see sustainable development
as more than just a way to a cleaner environment. They see it as the vehicle for creating a
long-sought for new economic order or New World Order.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> He
continues that the, “environment is the perfect vehicle for the elite to use to
bring in their version of utopia, because just about every form of human
activity affects the environment in some way.
Ultimately, they hope to centrally plan and strictly regulate virtually
everything that we do, and we will be told that it is necessary to save the
planet.” Under such a New World Order,
“there wouldn’t be much room for individual liberty, freedom, or good old
fashioned capitalism in the world that the elite are trying to set up.” The article correctly posits that the,
“promise is always the same – the elite swear that they have finally figured
out how to create a perfect society without poverty or war. But in the end all of these attempts at
utopia always end up degenerating into extreme forms of tyranny.” Even a cursory look back through world
history proves the absolute truth of this last statement. In the end, those who favor such
dictatorial-authoritarian schemes like Agenda 2030, “want to fundamentally
transform our planet, and the freedom that you are enjoying today is simply not
acceptable.” In addition, to the elite
giving people liberty and freedom is dangerous because they believe that it
hurts the environment and causes societal chaos. According to their way of thinking, the only
way to have the kind of harmonious utopia that they are shooting for is to
tightly regulate and control what everyone is thinking, saying, and doing. The piece correctly explains that, “their
solutions always involve more central planning and more control in their own
hands.” Whenever you hear about such utopian
endeavors as Agenda 2030, don’t be fooled or hoodwinked. No matter how flowery and grandiose the
language employed, always think in terms of euphemism. These One-World Globalist Scum cannot openly
and honestly tell you of their true intentions.
They must hide behind the façade of humanitarianism and good
intentions. They are only about power
and control. They are about destroying
individual liberty and freedom and taking away our rights. Agenda 2030, if implemented, is a serious
attempt to destroy this country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The path
to our destruction can be found by reading and understanding the seventeen
central goals of Agenda 2030. These
goals are readily available to any and all who care to investigate. As with so much of globalist propaganda, do
not be fooled or hoodwinked by the language employed. The goals and the rhetoric used to explain
them sound uplifting, humanitarian, and so very altruistic but it’s also very,
very dangerous. A piece entitled, “The
United Nations 2030 Agenda Decoded: It’s a Blueprint for the Global Enslavement
of Humanity Under the Boot of Corporate Masters (</span><a href="http://naturalnews.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://naturalnews.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
recognizes this and explains that the ultimate aim of Agenda 2030 is,
“centralized government control and totalitarian mandates that resemble
communism.” Additionally, “The document
describes nothing less than a global government takeover of every nation across
the planet.” That’s quite an ambitious
undertaking and most reasonable people would dismiss those who advocate Agenda
2030 as utopian dreamers and pie-in-the-sky wishful thinkers. To do so, however, is to seriously
underestimate just how determined they actually are. With that said, let’s take a look at Agenda
2030’s stated goals and try to analyze their meaning. We will also have to think about how these
goals will be implemented because this is not explained by the, “2030iers.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Poverty In All Its Forms Everywhere:
Well now, that’s certainly a goal worth shooting for but it’s hardly
original. Every form of Socialism,
Communism, or Authoritarianism has promised to accomplish this and all have
failed miserably. Exactly how will this
goal be realized by the One-Worlders at the United Nations? There’s really only one way to do this:
massive redistribution of wealth on a global scale. Take from the developed, industrialized, and
wealthy nations on the planet and give that stolen loot to the world’s
undeveloped and desperately poor countries that have failed to adequately and
properly provide for their populations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cold-hearted, mean-spirited Son of a Bitch!
Once again, however, the question of how this goal is to be accomplished
is simply not addressed. The fact that
only way to implement these lofty and idealistic aims is through the use of
force and coercion. The Grand Masters of

note that those nations that have come closest to succeeding in bringing Goal
#3 to fruition are those that have adopted a Free Market Capitalist model. Think the United States and other Western,

nations. In these nations where grinding
and deadly poverty is the norm, quality education and lifelong learning are not

bastards are struggling to survive on a daily basis and learning in such an
environment can only be considered a luxury, an impossible dream. Additionally, an entire block of the UN

This same principle can also be seen in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 2<sup>nd</sup>
Bill of Rights. The Soviet Union is dead
as are something like fifty million of its citizens who died while the
Communists attempted to realize Goal #8.
Whenever you see such terms as “sustainable economic growth” or “decent

have been successful and transfer wealth to individuals and nations who have
failed to achieve. Punish the productive
and reward the unproductive on a personal and international level. This is nothing more than a redistributive
scheme on a global scale and it is guaranteed to do nothing more than increase
worldwide poverty and misery. Rather
than espouse and advocate policies and programs that will uplift poor
individuals and poverty stricken nations, the Agenda 2030 mob would much prefer
to bring the successful down. The whole
take from the rich and give to the poor paradigm is merely the Robin Hood

simple, really. It’s called, “Katie, bar

all guns owned by private citizens. The
only firearms left will be carried and authorized by government. In the New World Order envisioned by the
Agenda 2030 Statists, the average citizen will be completely defenseless,
unarmed, and vulnerable. This, by the
way, is nothing new. When Mr. Hitler
came to power in Germany, the very first thing he did was to confiscate all
civilian owned firearms. Senor Fidel did
the same thing in Cuba as did Mao and Uncle Joe in their time and place. An unarmed population is a defenseless

entire Third World. We are so opulent,
so wealthy that we must be punished for our success. It’s simply not fair that we have so much
while the under-developed nations of the world have so little. This simply won’t do. Even the poorest among us possess flat-screen
TV’s, stereos, and late model automobiles.
Why we even have clean hot and cold running water, adequate housing, indoor
plumbing, and enough food to eat. Well,
that’s just not fair and has to change!
We must be punished in the form of confiscatory taxation on everything
from oil, gas, and coal right down to our tooth brushes. Why, after all, should we greedy Americans be
able to afford good, effective dental hygiene while so many the world over are
toothless? We must reduce our standard
of living to the level of all those Third World Shithole nations out there who
have virtually nothing. Welcome to
Agenda 2030!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

government dependence that exists out there, the less personal freedom,

criminalizing all private land ownership which would include ranches and

We’ve seen and heard it all before and anyone who takes it even remotely
seriously needs to have himself committed.
People who believe this loopy shit need just as much help as those who
devised and wrote these seventeen goals, right?
Nope, exactly wrong. Whenever a
potential enemy flat out tells you of his intentions, you damned well better
take it seriously and act accordingly.
No one took Adolph Hitler very seriously even after he wrote and
published Mein Kampf in which he told the world exactly what he intended to
do. No one took him seriously until, of
course, it was too late. These
Sons-A-Bitches at the United Nations are broadcasting their evil intentions and
they are not being taken seriously. I
have repeatedly urged that we “resign” our membership in that venal institution
and that the UN should be thrown out of the United States. It’s really time we sent these anti-American
Bastards packing. They are here in our
country and they are hatching plans and plots to destroy us. Would you permit this on a personal level in
your own life? Would you invite people
into your own home who have threatened to kill you and burn your house to the
ground? Of course not. Why, then, do we permit enemies of our
country to do that very same thing? Make
no mistake here. This is exactly what
the majority of the UN membership wants.
They want to bring this greatest of nations to its knees, destroy our
institutions and traditions, and bring an end to America’s influence in the

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> These
anti-American saboteurs at the United Nations are not merely flying blind here
but rather have tried and true patterns to follow. Their examples are the Socialist forms of
government that exist and have existed all over the world. As referenced earlier, one of the key
elements in all Socialist models is this concept of wealth redistribution, a
prime proponent of which is our very own Socialist-in-Chief Barry Boy
Obama. He is our current reincarnation
of Robin Hood and he puts the legendary archer to shame. Old Robin was a mere piker when stacked up
against the current occupant of the White House – a rank amateur! Wealth redistribution under Barrack Hussein’s
guiding and destructive hand has been elevated to an art form. Everything he has done has had the effect of
shrinking-destroying our great middle class upon which our economic success has
depended for over two centuries. It has
always been the middle class which has been the backbone of our country’s
strength and wealth. At every turn,
Obama has literally gutted our private sector by trillions of dollars and
transferred that wealth to the government.
Once the government gets its hands on the loot, it can no longer be used
to grow the economy. New start-ups can’t
get off the ground while existing businesses, both large and small, can’t grow
and become more successful. This means
that new jobs are not created because business can’t afford to hire. Fewer and fewer people enter the workforce
and existing workers are let go.
Unemployment rises and will continue to do so under the reign of our
anti-Capitalist, anti-Free Market leader.
When he smugly declares that the unemployment rate has dropped to
something like 5%, he lies – but that’s what he’s good at. The real unemployment rate stands at
something over 20% but you’ll never see that figure in the main-stream media. Did you know that there are at this very
moment approximately ninety-five million Americans between the ages of sixteen
and sixty-six who cannot find work and a large proportion of them have become
so discouraged that they have simply stopped looking for employment? This is
what happens when wealth is stolen from the private sector – the productive
sector – and placed in the public sector.
It’s called redistribution. It’s
bad enough – even tragic – that it’s happening in our country at the behest and
design of our leaders, but the advocates of Agenda 2030 plan to do this on a
world-wide scale. By the time these
destroyers are finished, there will be no middle class left anywhere on the
planet. An elite few will control the
world’s wealth and resources while the rest of the population lives in dire and
desperate poverty and depends on government for all of its wants and
needs. This is truly slavery. There’s other word for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is useful here. It begins by noting
that, “This past September the United Nations made a big deal of its new 2030
Agenda as it vows to eliminate poverty by 2030,” and correctly maintains that,
“of course, the only remedy offered in any UN policy is redistribution of
wealth.” There it is, folks. The author of the article nailed it. He continues, “that means taking from those
who created their wealth (wealth translates to whatever amount you may have in
your pocket or bank account at the time) and give a portion to someone who has
failed to create their own wealth.” Well
now, that’s not quite the way it works in the UN’s version of Heaven on
Earth. You see, if I have created wealth
and I voluntarily of my own free will decide to give some of it to people who
are less fortunate than myself, that’s perfectly fine. This is called charity and over the centuries
Americans are famous for being the most generous and charitable people the
planet has ever seen. Under Obama and
the tyrants who advocate Agenda 2030, our wealth will be taken from us whether
we like it or not. This is nothing less
than government force and coercion. It
is certainly not a charitable donation.
The problem with Agenda 2030 as laid out here is that whenever this has
been done it leads to a crippling dependence on government to provide for the
wants and needs of its population. This
is flat-out tyranny and we are headed in that direction. Dependency must lead to a loss of individual
freedom, liberty, and choice. It always
does and this is what the Globalists and One-Worlders desperately need and
desire. It’s their governing-ruling
philosophy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

find so appalling is that those who advocate plots and schemes like Agenda 2030
know that its stated goal of eradicating poverty worldwide is nothing more than
an out and out lie. It’s not merely a
well-intentioned wish gone wrong but rather a purposeful attempt to keep the
poor in perpetual poverty with absolutely no hope of improving their lot or condition
in life. If these dissembling Statists
at the United Nations were really attempting to end or reduce poverty across
the globe, they’d be advocating the worldwide adoption of Free Market
Capitalism. This is the only
socio-economic system that has consistently allowed people to lift themselves
out of poverty and offered hope for a better future for themselves and their
families. It’s worked everywhere and
every time it’s been tried anywhere in the world. If these Socialist thugs at the United Nations
were truly serious about bettering the lives of their populations, they’d
follow the example of the United States.
Do they do this? Of course not. Prosperity for their populations is not the
goal here. Hope and optimism for those
they rule are not uppermost on their minds when they get up in the
morning. Absolute and total control is
the ultimate goal and creating complete dependency is their modus
operendi. Agenda 2030 is tailor-made to
do exactly that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

so-called solutions is a plan to actually help people build their own
wealth. Take just a small amount today
to feed someone in need and tomorrow they will need more. Again and again and again.” We all know the old tale about giving a man a
fish as opposed to teaching him how to fish.
Socialist plots like Agenda 2030 teaches and fosters nothing but more
poverty, fear, and dependence. It does
not teach self-reliance or self-sufficiency because it is purposely designed
not to do so. The author of the article
also recognizes something that is more than just a little obvious. When governments punish the successful, there
will be less success. Confiscating
wealth from those who have earned it and rewarding those who haven’t puts a
nation on a sure path to disaster.
Economic ruin is guaranteed by adopting such policies as Agenda 2030 for
there can be no other result. The author
explains that taking from, “a producer time and time again will cause two
results. First, the producers eventually
lose their wealth. If government takes
enough then the person who once had wealth will have none and will in fact need
assistance themselves.” This, of course,
leads to more poverty, not less.
Additionally, “the producer will finally learn that it is a waste of
time to keep trying to produce and will stop producing.” This too leads to increased poverty instead
of increased prosperity. This is exactly
where our Dear Leader has taken our country and exactly where Agenda 2030 will
take the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

wonder how many of us have viewed children as so-called agents of change? The Agenda proclaims that, “children and
young women and men are critical agents of change and will find in the new
goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities for activism into the
creation of a better world.” The
question here, of course, is a better world for whom? Remember, advocates of such things as Agenda
2030 are Liberal elitists. They are
Statists and Authoritarian in the extreme and care not even slightly about us

sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture
of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural

extremely dangerous and is thoroughly and definitively anti-American in tone
and timbre. The author continues that
considering, “what the UN means by sustainable development – population
control, central planning, global governance, and more – the agenda for your
children takes on an even more sinister tone.”
The author notes that, “global citizenship in the new order will be
accomplished via what the UN misleadingly refers to as education.” In fact, “throughout the agreement, the UN
openly advocates the use of schools to indoctrinate all of humanity into a new
set of values, attitudes, and benefits in preparation for the new green and sustainable
world order.” The piece darkly but

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> White
Privilege is a term I’ve heard bandied about as of late. White Privilege is not a concept to which I
have given much thought nor have I done a lot of research on the topic. It’s not something I ever really gave a damn
about and I still don’t. When I began
hearing and reading about something called the White Privilege Conference,
however, and that there have been sixteen or seventeen of them so far, it
piqued my interest. What, I wondered,
went on at a White Privilege Conference?
What do such conferences hope to accomplish? What are their goals and how will they be
achieved? Were they intended to promote
white privilege and if so could they be related to a white supremacist group or
movement? Do such conferences seek
merely to explain, define, and inform the public about the concept of white
privilege? Were they intended to attack
and destroy this thing identified as white privilege? I’m assuming that the focus of these
conferences and of the White Privilege Movement is to highlight and underscore
the assumption that white folks in America have an easier time of succeeding than
do so-called people of color.
Caucasians, then, by the mere accident of being born white have a far
better shot at achieving the vaunted American Dream than do minorities in the
United States. This being the case, are
those people who attend White Privilege Conferences once again accusing America of being a racist
nation that will not permit its minority population to succeed?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> These and
similar questions have seemingly been with us at least since forever and
apparently we are still nowhere near satisfactorily answering them. Race relations in the United States, we are
told, is at an all- time low. We are
constantly bombarded with examples of just how poorly whites and blacks
interact with one another. The
mainstream media, both print and electronic, never tire of depicting the
majority of Americans as hopelessly racist and bigoted while the minority is
inevitably portrayed as the ever and always innocent victims of a system in
which all the cards are stacked against them.
Whenever an “incident” occurs involving clashes between white and black,
the former is always vilified while the latter is inevitably lionized. Treyvon Martin comes to mind as well as the so-called
“Gentle Giant.” In both cases, the
so-called “Drive-By” media got it wrong – completely wrong and they knew
it. In both instances, purposeful misreporting
and misrepresentation portrayed the white folks involved as evil incarnate
while the African-American “victims” were invariably seen as pure as the driven
snow who were once again victimized by the hostile white racist forces arrayed
against them. It’s an old, tired, and
boring scenario. The fact that it’s
completely false and trumped up matters not a whit to those who depend on
fomenting and furthering constant animosity between the races in America.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> These
folks can accurately be described as nothing less than Race Hustlers whose
success depends on creating and sustaining as much animosity as possible
between the races. Peaceful coexistence
simply will not do and God forbid anything that even mildly approaches actual
friendship or good will should be accepted as the norm. No, no, this will simply not stand. Race-Baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,
and Jeremiah Wright and so many more depend on racial strife for their
livlihoods and life styles. Racial
animosity and antagonism is what keeps them in the public eye, allows them
countless hours of television and newspaper coverage, and provides them
whatever ration of fame they feel they believe they are entitled to. Amicable relations between the races would be
their metaphoric death knell. If blacks
and whites were perceived as getting along well with one another, then who the
Hell needs these phony racial ambassadors?
These race hustlers are sought out by presidents and other so-called
luminaries for their advice and counsel.
The relationship between Barrack Hussein Obama and the ever-so pious
Reverend Wright is both famous and notorious.
Racial animosity has made these three and others immensely wealthy,
famous, and influential and they are too heavily invested in that animosity to
ever want the races even perceived of as getting along well together. That’s the one outcome they simply cannot
tolerate and will do anything they can to prevent. These are the charlatans who promote racial
strife and animosity at every opportunity.
Without it, they are nothing and nobody.
Without it, they’d have to try and make an honest living and as far as I
can tell none of them have any marketable skills save rabble-rousing, marching,
protesting, and lying. Without that
racial animosity, no one would even know their names or recognize their faces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> As I
recall, the election of Barrack Hussein Obama was touted as representing the
end of animosity between the races and Barry Boy was hailed as our first
“post-racial president.” With his
election and anointment, racial animosity would become a thing of the past and
America’s first black president would serve to show the country and the world
that the United States had at long last moved beyond its racist founding and
history. All would be well, the angels
would sing, and Kumbaya would reign supreme.
It was gonna be a beautiful thing.
There would no longer be a need for the likes of Sharpton, Jackson,
Wright, et al for our first black president would heal the land, promote peace
and love between black and white, and the lions would finally lay down with the
lambs. How’s that workin’ out so
far? Under our post-racial president,
the divide between black and white seems to have markedly increased rather than
significantly decreased. Whatever
happened to the utopian-like visions of racial harmony and brotherly love that
would be ushered in under the Obama Regime?
Where’d it all go? Could it be
that it went nowhere because it was, in fact, unnecessary? Could it possibly be
that it is simply not needed because black and white citizens in America
usually do get along together quite well?
Could it be that without race hustlers and baiters continually harping
on non-existent racial animus that the majority and minority in our nation
would get along just fine for the most part?
Most folks in the United States, especially white folks, simply don’t or
can’t recognize these queries as valid, legitimate questions worthy of
consideration or reflection. They will
automatically and reflexively dismiss such notions out of hand and will
undoubtedly view anyone who asks them as hopelessly naïve and probably
racist. To even suggest that white and
black really do co-exist amicably is literally a form of blasphemy for those
types who champion such things as White Privilege Conferences. Anyone who asks questions like those posited
above is denying one of the central orthodoxies of life in America today and
that is the entire concept of White Guilt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> White
guilt is the lens through which race relations in America must be seen and
defined. Some would argue that President
Barry Boy’s election to the highest office in the land can be attributed to the
White Guilt Phenomenon that seems so wide-spread in our country. Obama could not have been elected had not
tens upon tens of millions of white folks voted for him. The question is why did so many white people
vote for him? It couldn’t have been
because of his sterling and stellar record of accomplishments as a U.S.
Senator. He didn’t have any. Our Community Organizer – in – Chief served
as a Senator for approximately one hundred and forty days before throwing his
hat into the presidential ring. He had
time to accomplish exactly nothing as a Senator from Illinois. As a matter of fact, when he did show up to
vote on important and weighty issues facing our country, he rarely voted Yea or
Nay but instead voted “present”. Yeah,
that’s really taking a strong stance that proves the courage of one’s
convictions. Our post-racial President
got elected because so many whites felt guilty and were bound and determined to
prove that they were not racists. How better
to prove this than to vote for the first black guy to make a serious run for
the office?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> White
guilt can, of course, be traced back to that “peculiar institution” known as
slavery. Slavery existed in the United
States and it was, in fact, based on race.
The slave trade existed as did the infamous Middle Passage. Human beings were indeed sold at auction much
in the same way as cattle. No one denies
that these horrors occurred because history cannot be denied by reasonable,
thinking people. After slavery ended,
came that era known as Reconstruction.
During this period, the former slave states ushered in what’s referred
to as “Jim Crow.” This period in
American history was primarily defined by the successful and violent attempts
to deny the newly freed slave the rights accorded to all American
citizens. We saw lynching, church
burnings, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.
Black folks were treated horrendously during this period and were
brutalized at every turn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There is
no denying this nor should there be. For
all of these injustices, white people are still expected to and counted on to
feel guilty and act accordingly. It is
this guilt that spawns such ludicrisms as White Privilege Conferences. It is this guilt that allows American whites
to assuage their consciences by acceding to every demand and whim expressed by
Americans who happen to be people of color.
During that period known as Jim Crow, we witnessed the implementation of
various and sundry schemes designed to prevent the recently freed slave the
right to vote. We note such creative
obstacles like the Poll Tax, Literacy Tests, and Grandfather Clauses. We witnessed the false concept of Separate but
Equal which ushered in the idea of institutionalized segregation. You know, the whole back of the bus thing,
the separate drinking fountains for white and black, segregated restaurants and
schools, and so much more. Yup, all of
these injustices and more were indeed perpetrated upon America’s black
population whose only “crime” was the fact that they were born black. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
question is, just how long are we Evil White Devils supposed to feel guilty
about something none of us had a hand in perpetrating and perpetuating? When, if ever, will we be finished be paying for
our past sins and finally move on? Well
according to the race hustlers-baiters, the answer is never. We whites must continue to be steeped in
guilt and must never stop begging for forgiveness. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa! I contend that, in fact, the whole
Slavery-Jim Crow-Racist thing has been more than paid for many times over. I contend that we have absolutely nothing to
feel guilty about any longer. The guilt
trip is over, kaput, finished, through.
No one seems to remember that hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of
Americans (overwhelmingly white) died in the War Between the States. One of the major results of the Civil War, of
course, was the end of slavery in America – forever. Yeah that’s right, white America did
that. How about the passage of the 13<sup>th</sup>, 14<sup>th</sup>, and 15<sup>th</sup>
Amendments also known as the Civil War Amendments?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The 13<sup>th</sup>
outlawed slavery, the 14<sup>th</sup> gave the freed slave equal protection
under the law and due process rights, and the 15<sup>th</sup> granted full
citizenship to the former slaves. How’s
that for righting a wrong? How’s that
for an apology? Moving right along, we
witness Supreme Court decisions like Brown V. Board of Education which
overturned the concept of separate but equal and paved the way for the
integration of public schools in America.
We saw President Eisenhower send federal troops to enforce that decision
and that was way back in the 1950’s.
Eisenhower actually ushered in what came to be called the modern Civil
Rights Movement. Not long after Ike’s
gambit, the nation witnessed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and
the passage of Affirmative Action. For
good or ill, depending on one’s perspective, these and other laws were
expressly intended to make right the wrongs of slavery and Jim Crow. To top it all off, of course, we see the
election and reelection of America’s first black president. Who’d a thunk it? A racist nation electing a person of color to
the highest office in the land.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> I have
heard it said that despite the obvious progress noted above, nothing has really
changed. We are still a racist country
and always will be. Whites must forever
scrape, grovel, and apologize for the sins of our past. It doesn’t matter what we as a nation do or
have done to make up for past inequities because it will never be enough. We must always feel guilty and never stop
beating our breasts or rending our garments.
According to the race hustlers in our midst, racism in America is
institutionalized and systemic. It is
part of our nation’s collective DNA and because of that we will never be able
to stop paying for it. It has reached
the point that virtually everything can be ascribed to racism. The term and concept has been so over used
that it really has no substantive meaning anymore. Didn’t get that job or promotion you
wanted? Racism. Didn’t get accepted to that college or
university? Blame racist America. Didn’t get approved for that mortgage you
applied for? Racist red-lining. Minority folks riot, loot, and burn down
their own neighborhoods – and then bemoan the fact that they no longer have
groceries or pharmacies to go to – well it’s obviously due to white
racism. It just goes on and on and on. The problem here is that the charge of racism
has been so cheapened that fewer and fewer people can take it seriously. Most reasonable people are fully cognizant of
the fact that when racism actually and truly occurs it is devastating to those
on the receiving end. When racism,
however, is used as an excuse for every failure and disappointment experienced
by a person of color or a minority group it simply cannot and must not be taken
seriously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> With this
backdrop in mind, it’s fairly obvious what these White Privilege Conferences
are actually all about. They are
invariably racist in tone and nature but it happens to be black on white racism
as opposed to vice-versa. I’ve heard it
said and seriously discussed that it’s not possible for blacks in America to be
racist. Why not, I wondered? Well, goes the argument, the black population
in America is so small that it is virtually powerless. The white population is so overwhelmingly
large that minorities cannot implement policy.
Only whites can do this. I don’t
quite get the logic here possibly because this argument is completely
illogical. It makes no sense. I’ve known quite a few members of our
minority community who hate whites and blame them for everything and anything that
has ever gone wrong in their lives. They
cannot and will not blame themselves for whatever disappointments they have
experienced. Scape-Goating is always
easier and more appealing than honest introspection and self-reflection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> An article
appropriately entitled, “White Privilege (</span><a href="http://www.creators.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.creators.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
asks, “What would you think if your 8-year-old came home and tells you that
white privilege is something that white people have, meaning that they have an
advantage in a lot of things and they can get a job more easily.” Well, you would have heard this kind of
sentiment at the 15h Annual White Privilege Conference in Madison,
Wisconsin. The conference was attended
by over 2,500 public school teachers, administrators, and students from all
over the country. Is it appropriate, one
wonders, for this kind of obvious indoctrination to be directed at eight-year
olds? The author describes one of the
conference workshops entitled, “Examining White Privilege and Building Foundations
for Social Justice Thinking in the Elementary Classroom.” Whenever you hear the term Social Justice, be
aware that you are in the presence of a full-blown, dyed in the wool,
out-and-out Far Left Liberal who is without a doubt a devout Socialist (see The
Social Justice Scam Rant of 7/27/11).
This is an undeniable truth and all of these folks whom I have dubbed
the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) have a number of things in common. First and foremost, they despise their own
country. They literally hate America as
historically founded and presently constituted.
They ardently believe that America’s founding was both racist and
corrupt and that we don’t deserve the wealth and power we have accrued over the
centuries. We have raped the planet and
taken unfair advantage of the world’s poor, downtrodden, and brown. All of those on the Far Left – as in 100% -
absolutely believe this and these are the people that champion and attend the
White Privilege Conferences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Another
workshop session entitled, “Stories From the Front Lines of Education: Confessions of a White High School English
Teacher,” is instructive here. The woman
heading the workshop maintains that, “teaching is a purely political act and
that neutral people should get the fuck out of education.” A purely political act? Neutral people? Wow, talk about your unabashed brainwashing –
well I guess so. I taught in a very
tough and dangerous New York City high school for about thirty years. I viewed my task primarily as that of
imparting enough knowledge to my charges to help them pass state Regents Exams
and earn a high school diploma. How
foolish of me. I didn’t realize I was in
the business of indoctrinating my students along leftist political lines. The
workshop leader explains that, “Being a white person who does anti-racist work
is like being an alcoholic. I will never
be recovered of my alcoholism, to use the metaphor. I have to every day wake up and acknowledge
that I am so deeply embedded with racist thoughts and notions in my body that I
have to choose every day to do anti-racist work and think in an anti-racist
way.” This is the epitome of that White
Liberal Guilt referred to earlier. It
doesn’t get any more obvious than this and it is this type of thinking and
sentiment that dominates each and every White Privilege Conference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Yet
another presenter told his audience, “And right now I’m going to suggest to you
that race is driving almost everything that’s happening in the country.” He explained the Hurricane Katrina disaster
in New Orleans by noting, “They took money away from protecting the levees
because the levees were protecting black people.” Another workshop leader who refers to herself
as a Vulgar Marxist believes that Capitalism is the cause of racism in the
world and since the United States is the premier Capitalist nation on the
planet, then we are obviously the leading sponsor of racism on a global
scale. She maintains that, “racism was
invented in Colonial America by white capitalists as a tool to divide labor and
keep the working class in their place.”
Even Christianity cannot escape the accusation of causing racism and
even for these whacked-out Liberals, that’s quite a leap. One Paul Kivel insists that white racism is
closely entwined and linked to, “the everyday pervasive, deep-seated and institutionalized
dominance of Christian values, Christian institutions, leaders and Christians
as a group, primarily for the benefit of Christian ruling elites.” Additionally, University of Iowa Professor
Adrien Wing even brought President Barry Boy into the mix. Speaking of White Privilege, the professor
asked, “Does having a black president change that? Has it changed that? Unfortunately, it hasn’t. President Obama ends up being the front man
for the system. He works for the master
of the system of white privilege.” Is
the professor accusing our Dear Leader of being just another Uncle Tom who has
been coopted by the evil and racist system?
And who, I wonder, is this vague and nebulous “Master” she refers
to. Are you beginning to see a pattern
emerging here? It appears that those
attending White Privilege Conferences are attacking the major institutions that
helped make America the greatest nation in the history of nations. America is evil and racist. Capitalism is evil and racist. Christianity is evil and racist. Disaster relief is evil and racist. These are the kinds of things you can learn
at these conferences and tragically a large percentage of attendees and presenters
are teachers who force this bilge-drivel down the throats of their young,
gullible charges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Another
piece entitled, “The New Racists: Annual
White Privilege Conference Draws Thousands of Teachers (</span><a href="http://truthrevolt.org%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://truthrevolt.org)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is illustrative as to the nature and purpose of these annual White Privilege
Conferences. Apparently, the 17<sup>th</sup>
conference held in Philadelphia featured, “a wide variety of workshops to
indoctrinate adults and students on race, racism, black oppression, and other
racial justice topics. The annual event
exists to promote the tiresome racist theory of White Privilege. American society is systematically racist and
hopelessly rigged against minorities, and the only way to address the problem
is for white people to repent of their inherent White Privilege.” Ah yes, the concept of repentance is crucial to understanding the motivation of those who
champion these conferences and agree that white folks are forever to be held
accountable for anything that has adversely affected people of color in our
country. Repentance is directly equated
with the idea of begging forgiveness for past sins. Well, then, how do we adequately repent for
the sins of slavery and racism? Who
exactly do we apologize to and beg forgiveness from? Is there any way that we evil, privileged
whites can possibly be purged of the horrific sins committed against our poor
and oppressed people of color in the United States? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Is begging
for forgiveness enough? Of course not,
for that’s only a first step on the road to setting things aright. What the racists who champion these bogus
conferences are really looking for, of course, is a pay day. Does that sound overly cynical, jaded, or
perhaps even racist to you? If it does,
you’d probably fit in quite well at the next White Privilege Conference. Why don’t you make your reservations
now? These phony Bastards want
reparations paid to them for the sins of slavery and racism. They want money – a big fat pay check. Is this what it’s really all about? Is the entire White Privilege Movement just a
gigantic, humongous shakedown? Hey, you
guilt-ridden white folks out there, you want forgiveness? Pay us!
You want absolution? Pay us! You want to lose that guilt you’ve been
carrying around with you like a ball and chain? Pay us! How does that sound for vulgar and
crass? The piece goes on to cite a
letter to conference participants that stated, “throughout the history of the
United States, liberty and justice have been espoused values which have only
ever applied to a very small minority of people.” The letter goes on to maintain that the,
“Constitution supported the enslavement of Africans; the U.S. government
orchestrated the decimation of Native American Nations. Until 1952 Congress prohibited Asians and
Latinos from naturalizing as U.S. citizens because they were not white. The Bill of Rights did not apply to persons
who were not white, male, and Christian.”
Wowfuckingwee!! How do we evil,
vicious, racist white Americans repent for this shit? Easy.
The letter went on to ask questions for conference attendees to ponder
such as, “What would it look like to have reparations for all injustices
committed in the U.S. and for its broken promises of liberty and justice for

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The 17<sup>th</sup>
Annual White Privilege Conference featured a variety of thought-provoking and no
doubt scintillating workshops and lectures for the attendees who showed
up. Examples include such titillating
subjects as, “Racial Literary Reflections:
Youth Buffering Rejection Through a Racial Trauma Magazine,” and, “I’m a
Good Person!: Isn’t That Enough?” Other
offerings featured, “Hip Hop and White Privilege,” and, “White Privilege and
Implicit Bias: Dealing With Unconscious Stereotypes and Unpacking the Invisible
Knapsack.” If anyone out there has any
clue at all as to what any of this bilge actually means, please let me
know. There’s simply no way this kind of
swill can be taken seriously or given any credence by rational, thoughtful, or
reasonable people. Those who attend
these conferences and find value in workshops like those referred to above can
properly be termed pathetic losers whose entire existence seems integrally tied
to the concept of racism, perceived injustices, and too much time dwelling on
what was as opposed to what could be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

invested in the past and have no interest in examining or even recognizing the
tremendous progress this nation has made when it comes to race relations,
treating minority populations fairly and with dignity, and admitting that
America’s majority and minority populations really do get along pretty well for
the most part. These phony Bastards
portray our country as though we still lived at a time when slavery existed and
when Jim Crow ruled the South after the Civil War. Folks who attend these conferences are race
hustlers-baiters every bit as much as Sharpton and Jackson. Without the existence of race and racism,
these guys are out of business and they know it. The white folks who attend these circuses
have been so brainwashed and indoctrinated that they will never recover from
White Guilt Syndrome that has haunted and defined them since they began
attending our government schools as children.
They are a lost cause and can never be redeemed. They are so hopelessly mired in what can only
be termed as self-loathing that they wear it like a badge of honor. Their never-ending guilt defines them and
they are really quite proud of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

topics at the White Privilege Conference include such fascinating examples as
the, “4<sup>th</sup> Annual Black Male Think Tank,” and the, “National
Constitution Center: An Exploration of the White Racial Frame.” Additionally, we note such things as, “White
Women: Internalized Sexism and White Supremacy and White Fellowship – Centering
People of Color and Building Effective White Practices for Racial Justice &
Systemic Change.” There are times when I
read these titles that I can barely keep a straight face. Sometimes I wonder whether or not the people
who present and attend these workshops are not just possessed of a really
warped sense of humor. But then I
remember that these are far, far Leftists and full blown members of the LFE who
have absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever and are seemingly incapable of
finding humor in anything. They mean
every word they say and that would be okay if that’s as far as it went. If they desire to be self-delusional, I guess
that’s alright. The problem is, however,
that a huge percentage of presenters and attendees at these conferences are
teachers in charge of young, impressionable, and gullible minds. Once the conference ends, they go back to
their educational institutions and ram this racist bullshit into the heads of
their young, impressionable, and gullible students. By the time these young ‘uns graduate college
or university, we’ll be forced to deal with yet another generation of
mind-numbed robots who will blindly follow the dictates of their Liberal
Masters like lemmings rushing off a cliff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
article goes on to highlight the contributions to the White Privilege Movement
of one Heather Hackman who bills herself as a professional education consultant
and teacher trainer. She insists that,
“great teachers must also be liberal activists.
In fact, she declared that teachers shouldn’t even bother teaching if
they aren’t committed to promoting the social justice agenda in school.” Her particular workshop was entitled, “No
Freedom Unless We Call Out the Wizard Behind the Curtain: Critically Addressing
the Corrosive Effects of Whiteness in Teacher Education and Professional
Development.” Once again, can anyone out
there tell me exactly what the FUCK this means?
The article explains that the workshop’s central theme is, “eradicating
the white imperial gaze of modern education which requires training prospective
teachers to be activists, not just pedagogues.”
Is it any wonder that America’s educational system is completely in the
crapper? Hackman actually predicted that
her approach to teaching will be successful and that the sinister forces known
as “Super-Whitey” will eventually be destroyed.
Can anyone seriously argue that this is not an openly racist statement
and thought process? She finishes up
with an undisguised and racist threat when she exclaims, “Your time has
come. If I was a white faculty member
and unwilling to get with the program, I do not have any business in teacher
education. We do see you, Super-Whitey. We’re coming for you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the people who are in charge of education in the United States. They are overwhelmingly members in good
standing of the LFE and are not at all interested in imparting knowledge and
truth to their students. They are in the
brainwashing business and warping the minds of our youth is first and foremost
on their list of priorities. They have
successfully turned generations of young Americans against their own country
and they do so with pride. It is their
pleasure and privilege to make sure that our young folks are taught that the
United States has been nothing but a force for evil in the world and that we are
the planet’s primary oppressor and aggressor.
According to these saboteurs, there is nothing good or positive about
our nation or its history. Our children
learn only that we are the world’s worst scourge and plague and that, in fact,
we are completely irredeemable. There’s
simply no hope for us especially since we are a predominantly white
country. This one fact alone makes us
forever guilty of every sin imaginable and for this we can never be
forgiven. This kind of “education” does
not bode well for the future of the United States. It is intended to turn our youth against
their own country and that will lead to our destruction in the not too distant
future. Adolph Hitler’s Minister of
Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, famously said that if you tell a lie often and
loudly enough, it will become the truth.
The Big Lie becomes reality and the LFE in our nation put Hitler’s
propagandists to shame. They have
perfected the Big Lie beyond anything the Nazis could have imagined and these
guys are in charge of “educating” our nation’s young. The way I see it, we’re pretty much fucked! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

thankfully exist out there those who do recognize the real meaning behind the
White Privilege Conferences and what they portend for our nation. A piece entitled, “Teachers, Students Get
White Privilege Indoctrination (</span><a href="http://www.wnd.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">www.wnd.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is directly on point here. The article
does recognize that racism has been a problem in our country but correctly and
importantly insists that, “No country but America offers the individual,
regardless of ethnic background, a real chance to rise to the top of his or her
game and utilize their God-given talents to become their personal best.” Well, someone out there gets it and isn’t afraid to say so. The article goes on to note that it, “is
clear that these kooky privilege theorists do not belong in the classroom, much
less in a classroom generously funded by taxpayers.” Furthermore, “The American people send their
children to school to learn how to read, write, do math, and understand science
and history. This brainwashing program
of hate, extremism, and shameful race-mongering does not fall into any of these
categories.” It should be obvious to any
clear-thinking individual that the kind of “Education” promoted by the White
Privilege Conferences is at the very least dangerous. It further fosters racial division among and
between Americans and cannot help but encourage hatred and enmity based on
racial and ethnic differences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Rather
than using education as a tool to unite us as a nation, the race hustlers among
us use it as a weapon to increase hostility and animosity among various groups
in our country. Education has been a
disruptive force rather than a way to emphasize those areas of commonality and
harmony that all Americans should share and be proud of. This, of course, is the goal of all those who
champion the White Privilege Movement in our society. The article continues that, “making a white
child feel guilty merely because of his skin color is racism and child abuse,”
and making a, “black child feel oppressed and undervalued because of his skin
color is racism and child abuse.” You
really can’t get much more clear than this and the author insists that if, “it
was not for these race-mongering extremists constantly dividing Americans based
on arbitrary characteristics such as melanin content, children would not even
think about race or skin color.” He’s
right. Hatred is not an in-born trait
nor is it an instinct. It must be
taught, learned, and constantly reinforced.
The propagandists at the White Privilege Conferences and in our nation’s
classrooms are expert at teaching hatred.
They are masters of pitting black and white against one another for this
is exactly what they need and desire.
The author of the piece notes that, “Those adult educators who are
brainwashing those young people like that are evil people. They’re evil to the core and this should be a
crime, really, against children by these adults. These people need to be arrested because
they’re destroying the souls of white kids and black kids. They’re taking away their ability to work
together as one, to come together as Americans.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> That last
sentence is crucial to understanding the motivation of the entire White Privilege
Movement. This mob doesn’t want the
disparate groups that exist in our nation to come together as Americans. That is the very last thing they want. Their end game, we must always remember, is
to destroy our country as historically founded and presently constituted. They loathe and despise the United States and
will not rest until they bring us to our knees.
They passionately hate each and every institution and tradition that
made us the greatest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. They despise such concepts as American
Exceptionalism and a limited government which exists to serve the people. They are completely antithetical to such
cherished notions as rugged individualism and personal responsibility. They are of a decidedly statist-authoritarian
mindset and attitude. They are arrogant
and condescending in the extreme. They
simply do not believe that the average citizen is capable of making decisions on
how to best run their own lives let alone the life and direction of the nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
These folks are absolute and committed Socialists and actually wish for
the destruction of our free market Capitalist socio-economic system. This is their penultimate goal and it is what
they live and breathe for. There does
not exist a brutal dictatorship that they don’t worship and revere like Cuba,
China, or the old USSR. These are the
models that they wish to employ here in the United States and they will not
rest until they have accomplished their nefarious and traitorous goal. What better way to succeed than to start
brainwashing our children at the earliest possible age. These Liberal Pukes control this country’s
educational system with an iron fist and by the time our youth become young
adults, they too have been taught to hate the country that has given them so

article maintains that the solution to all the problems identified by the White
Privilege Crowd is, of course, a bigger and far more intrusive central
government than we already have. This is
Socialism. As the piece suggests, “The
solution, in their minds, is yet one more socialist principle – to take from
one group, the privileged, and give it to another, the underprivileged.” In the minds of the LFE, “forced
redistribution of money, resources and opportunities is social justice in
action,” while, “in the minds of the sane, it’s socialism run amok.” The author is exactly right in this
regard. Socialism is in reality a form
of mental illness as is Far Left Liberalism.
Unfortunately, we seem to be witnessing a classic case of the inmates
running the asylum. Our
Socialist-in-Chief is all the evidence required to support such a claim. Regarding conferences that deal with the
concept of White Privilege, “they only continue the brainwashing that undercuts
what makes our nation great in the first place.
We’re all equal in God’s eyes, endowed by our Creator with the same
unalienable rights to pursue life, liberty and happiness – without regard to
skin color.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

certainly far better than the White Privilege Mob is willing to admit for that
would effectively put them out of business. They must create crisis after unending crisis
for them to remain viable. They must
manufacture as much discord and discontent as possible for these anti-American
types to maintain any relevance at all.
They must downplay or completely ignore the progress made in race
relations in the United States. They
require that any and all news coverage that has anything to do with black and
white is completely negative and invariably castes Caucasions as the villains
who want to put any minority group back in chains. It is simply one more example of
indoctrination and the continued perpetuation of the Big Lie. An article entitled, “White Privilege
Conference: Racism was Invented in the American Colonies (</span><a href="http://progressivestoday%2Ccom%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://progressivestoday,com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is noteworthy here. The White Privilege

racist roots. This is the message they
are spewing to the thousands of teachers and students who attended this radical
far left conference.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

highlights a few of the more ridiculous lies and distortions pushed at this
racially motivated conference. These
include, “White People Were Invented in 1681,” and, “Racism was Invented in
Colonial America by White Capitalists as a Tool to Divide Labor and Keep the
Working Class in Their Place.” Additionally,
we see, “Individualism is a White Construct,” and the absolutely outrageous,
“Islamic Societies Have Historically Protected Jews From White
Christians.” These outlandish
fabrications should tell any reasonable individual all they need to know about
White Privilege Conferences and those who attend them. They key word here is, of course,
reasonable. It still amazes me, although
I know it shouldn’t, that so many Americans fall for this bilge and nonsense
but there you have it. They do and it’s
causing tremendous harm to our country and especially to our minority
populations. They are fed a steady and
unending diet of this happy horseshit which can’t help but turn them against
the United States. They are never told
that it is this nation that provides more equality and opportunity for everyone
regardless of race, creed, color, or ethnicity than any other place on the
planet. This side of our nation’s
history and tradition is conveniently deleted from the Far Left narrative. They are shamelessly and purposely trying to
turn a significant chunk of our population into anti-Americans and instill in
them from a very early age an absolute hatred of and for the United
States. This should deeply disturb any
American who loves this country and understands its greatness and
exceptionalism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

article goes on to catalogue just a very partial list of the progress made by
America’s minority population. The piece
notes that according to, “one recent study, 70 percent of African-American
families make between $50,000 and $150,000 per year, which most would agree
qualifies as solidly middle class. There
are roughly 35,000 black millionaires in the United States today.” I wonder if there are any workshops dealing
with this topic at White Privilege Conferences?
Additionally, “Between 1976 and 2011 the percentage of black college
students grew from about 10 percent to 15 percent.” You’d never know this if you attended any of
the White Privilege Conferences of the past seventeen years. The article correctly points out that in the
1920’s, “there were about 10,000 African-Americans with four-year college
degrees. Today that number has grown to
about 4.5 million. The percentage of
blacks over 25 with a university degree grew from 11.3 percent in 1990 to 19.6
percent in 2006.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

anyone out there seriously believe that this kind of obvious progress could be
possible if America was truly a racist nation?
Apparently and sadly, the answer is yes.
Those on the Far Left in our country continue to ignore reality and
paint a completely distorted and erroneous picture of life in America
especially regarding our country’s minority population. The piece also explains that the, “number of
black-owned businesses in the U.S. increased 61% between 2002 and 2007,
reaching a total of 1.9 million.” No
progress here, right? The piece reminds
us that until, “about 150 years ago, blacks in America were slaves, with no
rights, incomes, or educational levels to speak of.” I wonder how often these little factoids are
presented for consideration at White Privilege Conferences? The article further informs us that, “Black
Americans themselves are optimistic about their situation in America,” and
notes that a new poll, “found that the overwhelming majority of black people
(86 percent) said they were satisfied with their lives. Nearly 60% said they would eventually achieve
the American dream of financial security and home ownership. A little more than half of those polled (63
percent) said they felt their lives had gotten better in recent years.” This kind of information would drive White
Privilege Conference attendees completely bat-shit! If facts like these were widely disseminated
and believed, the White Privilege Conferences would be viewed for what they
really are: Anti-American, racist
exercises founded on nothing more than lies, distortion, and hatred. The author concludes that the, “worst part is
that the White Privilege Movement is focused on thousands of K-12 teachers, so
they will take the anti-American message back to their classrooms and share it
with naïve students while their parents are not paying attention.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is more than just a tad bit troubling and is, in fact, extremely dangerous. The future of any nation lies with its young
people. They are the ones who will carry
the torch when the older folks can no longer do so. It is our youth who will perpetuate America’s
traditions, institutions, exceptionalism, and greatness unless, of course, they
have been brainwashed into hating everything our nation stands for and
represents. This is exactly what is
happening and has been since at least as far back as the 1960’s. The Far Left has poisoned the minds of
literally millions upon millions of Americans and taught them that we are an
evil people and country. If this

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Exactly
what does this mean, a global police initiative? For some reason, I find the term and concept
unsettling, disturbing, and disconcerting.
The idea of a global police force makes me more than just a tad nervous
and I can’t shake the Orwellian images it conjures up in the dark recesses of
my mind. Is someone out there actually
suggesting and championing a police force that is global in scope and would be
responsible for law enforcement on a planetary scale? I just can’t wrap my brain around this notion
nor can I accept the fact that there might be forces out there that actually
believe such a phenomenon is a goal even worthy of contemplation. How would such a police force work and
function and who would be in charge of it?
How could such an entity possibly enforce all the laws on the books in
over one hundred and ninety different nations?
In order for something of this magnitude to be effective, will there
have to be only one uniform code of justice that would necessarily be global in
scope and would that code override the legal systems already in place all over
the world? If so, who or what would
write and formulate a world-wide code of justice that would effectively and
fairly apply to over seven billion residents of Planet Earth? This sounds like the stuff of science fiction
and might make for a rousing HBO special sometime down the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Unfortunately, the idea of a global police initiative does not exist
only in the minds of novelists, screen writers, and other creative albeit misguided
types. The concept of a world- wide
police force is being seriously discussed and contemplated by people in
positions of power and influence here in our own country as well as abroad. Those in favor of such a proposed institution
don’t think like the rest of us mere mortals who are still attached to such
outdated and antiquated concepts like nationalism, sovereignty, and well
defined and protected borders. No, you
see these and other such notions no longer apply in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century
or at least they shouldn’t. They smack
of the old order and the traditional ways and means of dealing with societal
problems and miscreants who violate the rules.
It’s high time for more visionary and progressive thinking when it comes
to issues like the law and the enforcement of the rules and practices that keep
the citizenry safe from those in our midst who would commit mischief and
mayhem. Yes, it’s high time that we dinosaurs
out here who still cling to quaint concepts like nationalism and pride and love
of country learned our place in the New World Order. It’s time we antiquated misanthropes joined
the more progressive forces that will remake and reshape both our nation and
the world into a virtual utopia that will finally put an end to such outdated
geopolitical concepts like national sovereignty, nation-states, and the plague
of seemingly never-ending warfare that has been mankind’s constant companion
since the days we learned to walk on two legs.
When this crowd is in charge, the lions will indeed lie down with the
lambs and Kumbaya will have become the world’s global anthem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one-world, and globalist monstrosity that is headquartered at New York City’s

known as the United Nations which for so many years now has been dominated by
member nations whose outstanding or defining characteristic is an utter hatred
for Western Civilization in general and for the United States in
particular. Almost every vote/decision
taken by the UN’s General Assembly or Security Council has been a slap in the
face or perhaps more accurately a swift kick in the ass to America and its
national interests. Middle Eastern and
African member states of that vile institution generally despise us and
everything we stand for and represent.
Our so-called allies can no longer trust us because of the policies of
that sorry-ass, lame, and utterly weak excuse of a leader who resides at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue. We are supposed to
be the world’s lone superpower but old Barry Boy and his Buddies at the United
Nations are bound and determined to bring us down to the level of just one more
Third World Shithole of a nation because, you see, it simply isn’t fair or just
that the United States is so powerful and wealthy while the vast majority of
humanity suffers an existence of poverty, filth, sickness, and an early demise.

Leader is far more comfortable dealing with the globalists and one-worlders who
infest the United Nations than he is dealing
with the citizens of the United States.
He considers himself a citizen of the world which is far more important
to him than being a citizen of America.
He is far too lofty and grandiose to be limited to merely one nation,
especially one that he absolutely loathes and despises. Every time he travels abroad, he denigrates
America in front of the entire world and he embarrasses and virtually attacks
our few allies at every opportunity. He
is far more in tune with so-called international bodies like the UN and the
World Court than he is with our own United States Senate or the House of
Representatives. He has vastly more
respect and reverence for the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights than he does for our own Founding Documents like the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. You see, to our Compassionate Leader the
latter are nothing but impediments to fulfilling his promise of fundamentally
transforming the United States because they explicitly and purposely limit the
power of government. Like any true
statist/authoritarian he must find ways around the limitations placed on our
government by the Founders and he has been remarkably successful at doing
so. He constantly ignores our entire
Legislative Branch of government through his over- abundance of Executive
Orders which he has abused like no other Chief Executive in our country’s
history. He is more than just a little
comfortable in undermining and destroying the institutions, traditions, and
customs that have made the United States the greatest nation history has ever
seen and he happily sides with any institution or entity that wishes to harm or
degrade us. This is why he, his
administration, and the United Nations champions the establishment of a global
police force or initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

American president as well as far too many American citizens are perfectly
willing and eager to undermine and even destroy the entire concept of American
sovereignty and nationalism should come as a dire warning and harbinger of what
awaits this country in the not too distant future. The fact that we have twice elected an avowed
Socialist to the highest office in the land should cause all kinds of warning
bells and whistles to go off in our heads.
The fact that there are so many fellow Americans who are in total
agreement with the Saboteur – in – Chief’s vow to fundamentally transform the
United States into something the Founders never envisioned or intended portends
of a destructiveness that is certain to befall us if the American electorate
maintains its current mind set. The
Democrat Party, for example, is no longer the home of FDR, JFK, or even the Happy
Warrior. No, it has been completely
taken over by those on the Far Left who have nothing but praise and admiration
for the likes of Communist Cuba, Venezuela, China, and the old USSR. They loathe and despise the United States
easily as much as any foreign enemy ever has.

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> One way to
accomplish this is to partner with the United Nations in the creation of a
global police force. The rationale here
is that single, sovereign nations cannot effectively deal with the ever growing
scourge of world-wide terrorism. In order
to do so, we must create and support some sort of global policing authority
that would require world-wide jurisdiction to fight terrorism anywhere on the
planet. No single country can possibly
be granted this broad a mandate without severely ruffling the feathers of other
sovereign, independent states. This, it
is assumed, would only create friction and unnecessary “pissing matches”
between and among countries that wish to retain their own national sovereignty
and independence of action. A world-wide
police force under the auspices of a world-wide body could avoid any
internecine squabbling and bickering between and among countries jealously
safe-guarding their own principles and priorities. Those out there who think that this course of
action makes any kind of sense in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century are either
seriously misguided or are proponents and advocates of globalism, one-worldism,
and an entire planet governed under the yoke of some form of
socialist-totalitarian dictatorship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tendencies and attitudes. There is
simply no way to get around this reality.
The United States already has within its power and ability the
wherewithal to successfully deal with terrorism but we lack the necessary
leadership especially under the last seven-plus years of the Obama
Debacle. Under the administration of our
Putz – in – Chief, the use of the term Islamic Terrorism or Islamo-Fascism is
strictly forbidden. Heaven forfend that
we should dare to call a spade a spade.
The scourge of terrorism across the globe is at present Islamo-inspired,
planned, and executed. Each terrorist
attack anywhere on the planet has been owned and proudly admitted to by ISIS or
some ISIS-like bunch of fucking maniacs bent on destroying America, Western
Civilization, and creating a global caliphate governed according to the tenets
of strict Sharia Law. Obama and his

that, “Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently made an announcement at the UN
that the Obama administration will be inviting a global police force into
several American cities in order to fight violent extremism.” Well, okay.
What could possibly be wrong with combatting violent extremism? I have to wonder, however, why our AG felt
compelled to make this momentous announcement at the United Nations? How about making it before a joint session of
the American Congress? The author
continues that the, “program called the Strong Cities Network (SCN) constitutes
a law enforcement initiative that is set to be implemented across the globe
that claims to want to strengthen community resilience against violent
extremism.” A global law enforcement
initiative? This doesn’t sound like an
Attorney General who puts America first and foremost on her list of priorities. But then again, when we realize who she works
for this is not even the least bit surprising.
It is simply more evidence that Obama has absolutely no love for the

rabidly anti-American and literally despise the country that has given them so

that, “allowing a global police force that is not subject to American laws or
the Constitution to operate within the United States – without the consent of
Congress – is something completely foreign and unacceptable to the American
consciousness.” The author warns that, “Americans should be on alert.” Damned right we should be on alert because as
the piece queries, “Since when has the Obama administration done anything to

Shouldn’t we, then, be front and center in the fight against global
terrorism? Of course we should and we
are. We have no earthly business,
however, subordinating our national interests to anti-American international
organizations like the United Nations. The
article goes on to quote President James Madison who said that, “The means of
defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at

were used as a playbook to take down America.
I don’t want to believe that’s what’s happening here but Madison also
said that if tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise
of fighting a foreign enemy.” The writer

a crystal ball.” He’s right. Just look around you and see the direction
our nation has taken. The
Saboteur-in-Chief gives lip service to fighting and defeating deadly,
murderous, and hate filled wacko’s like ISIS but does nothing effective. Instead, he makes a virtually unnoticed and

our most cherished institutions, beliefs, and way of life. The idea of a global police force operating
in our country literally means the end of our Constitution. It completely negates and defiles the
Declaration of Independence and it utterly trashes our magnificent Bill of

what the LFE in our nation have been striving for since at least the
1960’s. A global police force is
anathema to the concepts of American sovereignty, nationalism, and
autonomy. These misguided and
wrong-headed poltroons are bound and determined to take a giant wrecking ball
to our country and turn it into but one more Socialist nightmare so prevalent
all over the world. They need and
require an all-powerful and omniscient central government that will control
every aspect of the lives of the citizenry.
They want to emulate Big Brother and stamp out any notions of rugged
individualism and self-reliance which have always been crucial aspects of the
American psyche and spirit. They need
and require a completely dependent population that will always obey and never
question. They were born to lead/rule
while the rest of us were born to follow/grovel. They want equality of outcome not equality of
opportunity which has always been a key building block and cornerstone in
America’s rise to greatness. It is these
Liberal Pukes, of course, who will define and enforce that equality of outcome
to such a degree that most of us will not be able to recognize the country into
which we were born. The establishment of
a global police force controlled by the United Nations represents a drastic
step in that direction. Once we give up

neighborhoods? In the America I grew up
in this simply would not have been tolerated and I believe might have elicited
a violent counter reaction. In 2016,
however, the Liberals-Socialists in our midst would welcome and applaud such an
eventuality while the “sheeple” among us would meekly follow along without a

contests are absolute proof that elections have consequences. Once the LFE gets
a solid foothold on the institutions of power in America they will not let
go. They must be defeated and destroyed
for they are our enemies and we are theirs.
There is no compromise or middle ground with them. There is no common cause here. There is only victory or defeat. Victory for them means the destruction of the

sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like
in the United States where men were free.”
It would be wise to take President Reagan’s warning very seriously for
he was absolutely dead-on right. We are
losing our freedoms because we no longer jealously safeguard and protect
them. Even the most remote possibility
of a UN global police force operating within our borders should scare the
living shit out of any American who loves this country and who believes in the
concept of American Exceptionalism. It’s
time to be afraid, folks, very afraid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

referenced earlier in this screed, the United Nations global police force and
this thing called the Strong Cities Network will be put into place to
ostensibly fight what has come to be called violent extremism. Well, what
exactly constitutes violent extremism?
Some would insist that all forms of violence are extreme and I suppose a
case can be made for that position. It
is not, however, particularly helpful or useful. Are we really suggesting that all forms of
violence should be eradicated because they are extreme? Are we saying that all forms of extremism should
be ended because they invariably lead to violence? How can we possibly put an end to all forms
of violence and/or extremism? How would
that work and what would it look like? If
we take just a cursory glance back through world history, it seems that
violence is an ever-present condition of human kind and it seems to be, for
good or ill, a characteristic of human nature.
How, then, do we stop it and is that a reasonable or realistic
proposition? Additionally, are we
suggesting that all forms of extremism by their very nature are a negative
force? Are there never any instances in
which extremism is necessary and proper?
These are lofty and philosophical issues but most of us know violent
extremism when we see it and most realistic Americans properly associate it
with Radical Islam, suicide missions, a world-wide caliphate, and strictly
enforced Sharia law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all those of the Muslim faith with the same broad “racist” brush. If you dare to express such sentiments let’s
say on a college or university campus you’d better be ready to run and dodge
any number of flying objects aimed directly at your head. If you think I’m exaggerating here, go ahead
and give it a try but make sure your health care plan is up to date. The LFE in our midst know damned well who the
enemy is and they know why our enemy hates us.
They are perfectly aware that this thing called Radical Islam has been at
war with the United States since at least as far back as 1979 when the Iranian
“students” took over our American embassy in Iran. They know that since that act of violent
extremism, if you will, the Jihadists have been at war with us and have sworn to destroy America. They know this but refuse to fight back in
any meaningful or effective fashion.
Instead they blame the United States for the violent extremism inflicted
upon us and any other Western, non-Muslim nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

differently. To them, you see, the
violent extremists among us are, well, us!
That’s right, Americans who believe in traditional American values and
standards fall into this category.
Americans who believe in America’s greatness and exceptionalism are
deemed among the violently extreme.
Americans who love and revere the Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are also categorized accordingly. It sounds unbelievable and it took a long
time for me to come to grips with this reality.
Contemplating this “new normal” is somewhat akin to falling through
Alice’s looking glass and coming face to face with the Mad Hatter. It’s just that bizarre and grotesque. A piece entitled, “A New Global Police to

is useful here. The author explains that
the, “problem is that in Obama-speak violent extremism refers not only to
jihadists wishing to harm Americans but also to conservatives and Tea Party
activists. Just ask all the law-abiding
right-of-center non-profit groups targeted by Lois Lerner’s IRS during the

parlance of the Left, violent extremism refers to conservatives and other
patriotic Americans.” According to
author Matthew Vadum, “If you are opposed to enlarging the redistributive state
and spreading the wealth around then by definition you’re a potential
terrorist. If you’re a conservative or
libertarian, if you believe in gun rights or don’t support abortion rights or
an immigration amnesty, if you don’t like high taxes or welfare programs or if
you dare to believe that the Constitution actually limits the power of the
government, you’re at risk of turning to terrorism.” Damn, I guess I’m pretty well fucked!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

facing a situation in today’s America that I really can’t find a parallel
for. Throughout our history, there have
always been a small percentage of disaffected types and groups. There have always been those that have been
considered outside of the so-called mainstream and for the most part society
has tolerated them pretty well. There
has always been room for those in America who march to the tune of that
different drummer or who find themselves outside of what might be termed
traditional norms. I give you the old
Hippies of the 1960’s or perhaps even the “Beatniks” of the 1950’s. Both expressed dissatisfaction with the
status quo of their day but were not seen by most Americans as serious threats
to the nation’s continued survival and existence. In the end, both groups made a lot of noise,
stomped their feet, yelled, screamed, and protested and then they grew up. The Vietnam War created quite a stir and gave
birth to the so-called peace movement of that era. For the most part, however, these and other
groups were not a genuine threat to the internal peace, stability, and order of
the country at large. They were a blip
on the national radar and psyche for a while and then they went away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Unless groups and/or individuals became violent and harmed life or
property they were tolerated pretty well by the rest of us. There have been times, of course, when
certain groups did present a serious threat and had to be subjugated by the
authorities and with the approval of most citizens. I give you, for example, the Weather
Underground of decades ago. They
constituted a genuine, bone fide threat and were treated accordingly. The same can be said for the original Black
Power Movement and perhaps for the current Black Panther Party of whom
President Barry Boy is so fond. We must
also not forget that there have been times when our government has over reacted
and took drastic and deadly action when it really wasn’t justified and could
and probably should have been avoided. I
give you Ruby Ridge and Waco as but two examples.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of our history, however, dissent has been tolerated pretty well by the
so-called mainstream but conditions in our nation have undergone a drastic
sea-change that I believe can be traced back to the presidential election of
2008. The Global Police Initiative so
lauded by Obama and the United Nations is indicative of that change. The rise of Liberalism-Socialism is further
indicative here. The definition of
violent extremism has put traditional American values on trial and those of us
out here who value and revere them can’t seem to figure out what has gone so
terribly wrong in present day America.
More and more folks today seem so drastically disaffected with the
United States that they are willing and even eager to turn our country upside
down. Our traditional values, norms, and
cultural mores seem to be under attack by an ever increasing segment of the
population and this is both disheartening and confusing. A piece entitled, “Obama Admin Mulls

is suggestive here. A section of the
article is entitled, “Who’s a Terrorist?”
It goes on to note that, “The United States government has made it clear
over and over again that they perceive American enemies to be gun owners and
libertarians.” Well, how about
that? The piece further states, “that
Americans reverent of individual liberty and others adamant about protecting their
personal freedoms are extreme right-wing terrorists.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

really quite amazing and actually somewhat sickening that Americans who value
individual liberty and want to protect personal freedom in our country can in
some fashion be deemed, “right-wing terrorists.” I wonder, then, does that make our Founding
Fathers right wing terrorists as well?
Furthermore, the author provides a list of traits or characteristics
that are considered when describing those who are deemed right wing terrorist
types. Included are: Americans who believe their way of life is under
attack; Americans who are fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and
international in orientation); people who consider themselves anti-global
(presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty); Americans
who are suspicious of centralized federal authority; people who are opposed to
abortion and support the second amendment; people who are reverent of
individual liberty; people who believe in conspiracy theories that involve a
grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.” Wow, that’s quite a list and I agree with all
of it! Each one of these “identifiers”
fits me right down to the proverbial “T”.
Yup, even that last point about conspiracy theories. Does that make me some kind of a conspiracy
nut? Nope, not at all. If you don’t believe that there exists in our
country a genuine, real live Liberal conspiracy to undermine and destroy
traditional American values and institutions that have made America the
greatest nation in history, then you’d better get your head out of your ass and
smell the fucking coffee! If you don’t
think that our Socialist-in-Chief is not conspiring with the United Nations and
other globalist one-worlders out there to introduce a global police force here
in the United States that is patently unconstitutional it’s time to crawl out
from under that rock and take a look around at what’s happened to America!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mistake folks, the Global Police Initiative coupled with this thing called the

America, its autonomy, and sovereignty.
It is an unconstitutional effort to bring America down from the great
heights we have reached as a nation and surrender our superiority to the
world-wide forces of Socialism and Globalism.
The fact that this is being done with the open approval and
collaboration of an American Present is literally sickening and it should worry
every citizen who cherishes our past and looks forward to an equally bright
future. One of the ways our enemies, and
that includes the LFE in America, seek to accomplish their insidious goal is to
change language, perception, and reality.
Obama’s lack of emphasis and clarity when it comes to the issue of
Radical Islam or Islamic Terrorism is an appropriate case in point. The whole issue of violent extremism has been
shifted from those who are actually guilty of committing it to those who still
believe in traditional American values, ideals, and traditions. If the Charlatan-in-Chief can convince enough
of us that Radical Islam is not the real problem facing us and the world but
instead it is Americans who only want to preserve and protect their birthright
then indeed our country is in dire straits.
If this snake-oil salesman can accomplish this, I fear our country is
truly on the road to ruin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wants to know, for example, when did the Constitution provide for such things

out who the extremists are in our midst and how is that term to be defined? He notes that the, “The Obama administration
has already scrubbed references to Islamic Jihad from terror training materials,”
and our pathetic excuse of a leader provides entirely new profiles and
characteristics for those who are attempting to identify potential
terrorists. According to the article,
you might be a terrorist bent on committing acts of violent extremism if you
are among: those that talk about individual liberties; those that advocate for
states’ rights; those that believe that the interests of one’s own nation are
separate from the interests of other nations or the common interest of all
nations. How many of us, I wonder, fall
into the above categories? Do you
believe, then, that you are a violent extremist and that your activities should
be monitored and tracked by the federal government? Additionally, you may be a violent extremist
if you are a member of the patriot movement, if you oppose what has been termed
the New World Order, or if you espouse anti-globalism. Furthermore, if you are fiercely
nationalistic, suspicious of centralized federal authority, concerned about
illegal immigration, or have a negative view of the United Nations then you too
could be classified as a violent extremist or potential terrorist. If Obama and his buddies at the United
Nations are successful in implementing some form of global police force, can
you expect the Blue Helmets to come crashing through your door?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Professors and students searching for truth, wisdom, and that ever
elusive and perhaps mythical, “higher plane.”
The expansion of the mind amid ivy-covered brick and stone buildings
nestled so far away from the humdrum and mundane. These are special places where the best and
the brightest of our nation’s youth can spend four to six to eight years honing
their intellect and sharpening their ability to think critically, independently,
and creatively. Out of such institutions
will emerge our nation’s leaders, movers, and shakers. Those who successfully navigate the rigors of
higher education can in many ways be called America’s elite who will take their
rightful place as decision and policy makers in virtually any field of endeavor
you can possibly imagine. Many of our
business leaders hail from this milieu.
Our future political and social elites come from the same background. Those who take on the weighty and crucial
task of educating our young likewise come from the hallowed halls of
academia. At the university will be learned
and absorbed the so-called wisdom of the ages.
Eager-faced and bright-eyed students will be taught the collective
wisdom of those who have come before and will be steeped in the history of the
nation and the world. They will be
taught the various philosophies that have guided and shaped so much of human
development, progress and achievement.
They will be exposed to the latest in science, mathematics, engineering,
technology, and more. By the end of
their tenure in the hallowed halls, they will emerge as not merely average
citizens but rather as a group that will lead the nation to new heights of
progress, enlightenment, success, and excellence. They will carry the torch passed down to them
by previous generations. They will in
turn be expected to guide, nurture, and nourish future Americans who will carry
on the time-honored traditions of our nation’s great past. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the realities and stresses of the real world.
We seem to be educating an entire generation of what might accurately be
termed emotional cripples who are woefully incapable of stepping into the adult
world that awaits them. For the past
dozen or so years, about half of college graduating classes cannot find
employment and those who do cannot find jobs in any way related to what they
learned in those ivy-covered towers. How
many times have we heard story after story about college grads winding up
flipping burgers at the fast food emporium in town? How many of us have encountered recipients of
four year college degrees stocking shelves at the local grocery store or the
Home Depot? Well, of course, you
respond. Given the pathetic state of our
economy, what the Hell did you expect?
Well, okay. Perhaps that’s part
of it – but it’s only a very small part.
In fact, those college and university grads who can’t find employment
related to their major fields of study have themselves to blame. If one takes up a major in, say, Art History
then you will almost certainly be under or unemployed. If one’s major concentration is English
Literature, Renaissance Philosophy, or American History the same outcome is
pretty much guaranteed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> You see,
it’s really about choices and making the wrong ones certainly has
consequences. If we compare
employability between those who chose a major in the Liberal Arts and those who
majored in what has been termed the STEM Fields (science, technology,
engineering, math) it is the latter group that finds jobs more quickly and
almost always related to their major fields of study. Choices, like elections, have
consequences. Unfortunately, the trend
among far too many so-called “Millennials” is to move back home and live in
Mommy and Daddy’s basement and not, mind you, for just a brief stint. It’s increasingly becoming a permanent
arrangement. These “kids” are simply not
prepared to compete in the adult world and are seemingly extending their
adolescence permanently. As adults, they
are a fairly useless lot and as future national leaders they are far worse than
useless. They will be under and
unemployed far into the foreseeable future and too many of them will lead lives
of utter dependency for the things in life that they want and need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> When Mom
and Pop finally stop dispensing the “goodies”, the government will step in and
become the surrogate parents. In an ever
increasing socialist state, these college graduates, these children of
privilege, will learn the unmitigated joys of completely subsidized lives. They will learn the wondrous benefits of food
stamps, welfare checks, and “free” healthcare.
They will be schooled in the fine art of Entitlement Expectations and
will be taught that the country owes them whatever they demand while they are
expected to give back nothing in return save for voting for that political
party that best represents what I have termed the Santa Clause Syndrome. It’s damned hard to win when your opponent is
a jovial fat guy in a red suit sporting a bushy white beard who is giving away
the fucking store! The problem here is
that never before in our nation’s past could we have envisioned America’s
educated class thinking or behaving in this manner. These folks, our nation’s elite, have never,
ever, needed this kind of coddling and we have never associated them with that
“gimme” mentality so prevalent in our society.
Hand-outs were for those “others” but not for our college and university
graduates who used to attend the halls of higher learning in part so that their
earning power over their working life times would be enhanced over and above
those who chose another path.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
apparent trend at our halls of higher learning in today’s America is to produce
unproductive citizens without the necessary skills to become active, successful
members of a competitive society. They
are trained in nothing particularly useful but instead are steeped in the
philosophy of “feel goodism” and instant gratification. Our college and university attendees are
apparently learning nothing that will stand them in good stead after
graduation. They are taught that life in
America is unfair and that the United States is the world’s leading source of
evil, racism, and exploitation of the world’s poor, oppressed, and weak. This is what far too many of those attending
college learn and by the time they graduate it has become their mantra. They leave the university after having been
thoroughly brainwashed rather than properly educated. They graduate having been taught nothing but
disdain and hatred for the country that has allowed them the privilege of
extending their childhoods well into their twenties and beyond. They come out of college completely pliable
and malleable as opposed to independent-minded and clear-thinking. They are far too easily led and swayed while
thinking critically is something that is totally beyond their ken or ability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The reason
for this is abundantly clear, unmistakable, and not open to doubt or
debate. The reason is Liberalism and the
Liberals who overwhelmingly dominate every aspect of virtually all of our
institutions of so-called higher learning.
Liberalism is the major theme and constant running through all avenues
of higher education in America and this has been the case since at least the
1960’s. This is when our universities
became radicalized, revolutionized, and thoroughly anti-American in both tone
and timber. Liberals, in fact, have
dominated all levels of America’s educational system from pre-K right on
through college and university. Our
schools have become hotbeds of anti-Americanism at all levels and our students
have become thoroughly indoctrinated in much the same way as were students in
the old Soviet Union. The good that this
country has done for the world is almost completely ignored and we are
invariably presented as the world’s worst oppressor and aggressor. According to the professorial class, there is
nothing positive or uplifting about our country and certainly nothing worthy of
praise or emulation. It is anything but
surprising, then, that by the time the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) has completed
brainwashing our youth, they graduate completely devoid of any and all notions
of patriotism, nationalism, or gratitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There has
also, it seems, been a precipitous decrease in the ability of our college youth
to focus or stay on track. There seems
to be a loss of the ability to concentrate.
Completing tasks and fulfilling goals, especially those that are deemed
relatively long-term, is proving far too difficult and arduous for an ever
increasing percentage of those who attend college and university in present-day
America. Commitment and persistence,
once valued character traits, have been overshadowed by a pronounced here and
now mentality coupled with a huge and unhealthy dose of, “feel goodism.” Instant gratification has become the motto
and watch-word of an entire generation of America’s youth who have apparently
lost the ability to think in the long range.
This is perhaps embodied most clearly in the current level of “protest”
movements that seem to be raging across college “campi” everywhere in the
United States. It seems that our college
and university students are indeed in a rage about almost anything and
everything that even slightly or mildly offends them. It also appears that there is literally
nothing under the sun that doesn’t offend them.
Our youth have been transformed into what might aptly be termed
“rage-aholics” and they nurture their anger to the virtual exclusion of all
else including their academic studies and responsibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

angst is apparently all-consuming and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with
preparing them to become useful and productive citizens. Their bellicosity and belligerence is
directed at any and all forms of perceived or imagined injustice or unfairness
anywhere they can be found or fabricated.
You will find our college youth marching, screaming, stomping, and
holding their breath until blue in the face.
When they finally exhale, they take to mindless shouting and screaming
over whatever happens to be perceived as the latest injustice de jure. They are so busy protesting that attending
class and completing assignments no longer seems to matter. They refer to themselves as activists and so
diligently pursue that calling that they end up activating themselves right out
of school. They fail out and drop out
much to the displeasure of parents who shelled out tens upon tens upon tens of
thousands of dollars so that their little darlings could avail themselves of a
fine higher education supposedly reserved for only the best and brightest among
us. I’m also quite sure that Mom and Pop
shelled out all that “coinage” so that their privileged offspring would land a
job somewhere that could be parlayed into a lucrative career that might one day
lead to financial independence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Apparently, not so much anymore.
Activism and protesting are now at the forefront of the college and
university experience while academic rigor and excellence has taken a decidedly
back seat. After all, it’s certainly
easier and much more mindless taking to the streets and “activating” rather than
taking to the library and studying. The
latter takes intellectual effort, concentration, and dedication to
purpose. The former takes no thought or
introspection and is the epitome of hedonistic mindlessness. These so-called protest movements are populated
by those who are easily swayed and mislead and are guided by demagogues who by
far and away put the sleaziest of politicians to shame. Our youth are being used – as youth and
inexperience often are – by cynical and sinister forces that are by no means
altruistic nor are they sincere in their efforts. They are modern-day rabble rousers who merely
take advantage of young minds and hearts who simply have not lived long enough
or experienced enough to make consistently rational, thoughtful, or sagacious
decisions regarding their own lives let alone the future of the nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

if you’re a young kid going off to college and probably leaving home for the
first time what protest and activist choices await? What movements, causes, and issues can you
take up and champion while guzzling down as many “brewskies” as you can manage
before puking all over your Air Jordans?
Indeed, what kind of activist-protestor will you be? Will you take to the streets to vent your
displeasure at life’s inequities? Will
you engage in peaceful civil disobedience a la Martin Luther King or will you
become a rock and bottle thrower vis-à-vis Malcolm X? Will you loot, burn, and destroy public and
private property or rather engage in the time-honored and nonviolent sit down
strikes that hearken back to the 1960’s?
So many, many choices and so very little time! Once these weighty decisions have been made,
with what specific protest movement or movements will you donate your time and
energy to? After all, at some point the
old economic conundrum of opportunity costs will inevitably kick in. What to do, what to do?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

choices here can literally make one dizzy-giddy. Let’s see, how about that old favorite of
Racist America, especially if you’re a white, middle class child of privilege? That’s always a good one. If the racism track is not your particular
forte, how about the related and exciting possibility of White Privilege and
the guilt trip associated with it? Then,
of course, there is the up and comer known as income inequality. Just think of the possibilities that exist in
this genre. There is always the field of
Social Justice which pretty much encompasses every form of inequity and
injustice imaginable. We can climb onto
the Gay Rights Activism Bandwagon and champion the cause of the lesbian, gay,
transgender, cross-dresser, go both ways, and go all ways crowd. We must, of course, not forget the entire
Anthropomorphic Global Warming Hucksters – uh, I mean activists. Nor can we ignore the ever present Animal
Rights Advocates. The Environmentalist –
Save the Earth mob also has much to offer when it comes to mindless blather and
dither. The choices are virtually
endless but none of them has anything at all to do with academic excellence,
productivity, or getting value for the bucks that Mommy and Daddy shelled out. Now, of course, strategy, tactics, and
logistics come into play. Do we pick one
cause and stay with it exclusively? Do
we pick two or three of our favorites and spread our time, energy, and effort
equally among them? Perhaps we could
concentrate on a different protest movement for each month of the year. Yeah, and here you thought this whole
activist thing was such a simple deal.

don’t think all of this protesting-activism comes at a significant cost to our

pitfalls, and hazards associated with such activities. Protesting, marching, hooting, and hollering
are physically, emotionally, and psychologically exhausting. Those of us not directly involved with the
“movement” can’t possibility be expected to understand or comprehend the toll
exacted upon those whose lives are given over to the so-called greater
good. A piece entitled, “Liberal

notes that, “It’s exhausting work being offended all the time.” I wonder what it’s like being angry, pissed
off, and peeved all the time, twenty-four seven, three sixty five? That’s just gotta be a damned tough row to
hoe. The article goes on to inform that
at Brown University student protestors suffer, “from suicidal thoughts,
sleepless nights, panic attacks, and failing grades as a result of their
advocacy.” One young fellow who would
not allow his real name to be used in print explained that, “There are people

confronting, “issues of racism and diversity.”
How nice for the young lad. Maybe
he would be better served by confronting such issues as biology, economics, and
American history. I can absolutely
guarantee you that the young rabble-rouser insisted on remaining anonymous for
fear that Mom and Dad would find out what he was really doing at dear old Brown
U for which they were forking over $62,000 per anum for an undergraduate
degree. They’d immediately pull the plug

another drugged-out, pill-popping loser using his “activism” as an excuse for
poor grades and a refusal to take his responsibilities seriously. I wonder if there’s any guilt over the fact
that he’s wasting a sixty grand per year university education? That’s roughly a quarter million dollars of
Mom and Dad’s money if the schmuck ever does manage to graduate. The author of the piece maintains that, “I
don’t begrudge students choosing activism over classes. If that’s what they want to spend their time
on, fine.” The writer goes on to quote a
piece from the National Review which suggests, “that students struggling to
balance their mental and emotional needs with the demands of their coursework
might consider giving up on school entirely.
One doesn’t need a degree to be a full time activist, after all.” Exactly right. Be a full time activist or a full time

little brats who are so put upon and stressed that they undoubtedly have
difficulty walking and chewing gum at the same time. I guess multi-tasking isn’t for the weak of
heart and mind. The author continues
that, “the parents of these dolts should be ashamed they’re spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars to turn their teenagers into useless members of society
more focused on feeling microaggressed than learning life skills.” He advises that the, “purpose of a university
is not to provide a forum for your teenage angst. It is to receive an education. That education is not secondary to your
activism. If you want to be an activist
first, go sleep in a park and poop on police cars like the rest of the members
of Occupy Wall Street. If you want to be
a student, shut up and learn about perspectives with which you may not
agree.” I’m gonna go out on a limb here

problem identified at Brown University, as well as far too many others, does
not merely affect our institutions of higher learning. There are ramifications here that are far

nation. The attitudes and actions evinced
by students at good old Brown University border on the pathologically self-centered
and narcissistic. These folks seem to
believe that the world revolves around them and their over inflated egos. To be angry and incensed at virtually
everything and anything smacks of nothing more than an out of control sense of
“me-ism.” It’s all about me and my hurt
feelings. It’s all about me and my
outraged and outrageous sense of inequity and unfairness. I am, in fact, the center of the universe and
have been utterly victimized by societal forces and trends not of my
making. I am the ultimate and
quintessential victim and the world must take care of me, assuage my more than
hurt feelings, and repair my delicate and decimated sense of self-esteem. Oh, woe is me, woe is me. However am I expected to cope not to mention
thrive in such a hostile and cruel environment?
This attitude and mindset are both pathetic and nauseating and yet they
seem to be ascendant everywhere in our institutions of higher education. We are witnessing far too many emotional
basket cases out there who can’t seem to handle the “rigors” of a completely
sheltered and cocooned life of academia.

central purposes and most important goals of any educational system at any time

the older folks can no longer do so. It
is a natural and normal transition.
Sadly and tragically, this no longer appears to be the case. Our young folks seem anything but ready and
prepared to lead our country especially at a time when such leadership seems
desperately needed. In this regard, our
universities have failed to successfully carry out their most crucial societal
role and this can only hurt our country.
The author of the piece notes that, “The students aren’t learning
anything but the self-righteousness of self-declared victimhood. Brown is a private university, so it’s
parents who bear the burden, not taxpayers.
But our universities are creating an entire generation of morally and
psychologically ill students thanks to their kowtowing to the squeakiest,
saddest wheels.” Additionally, “A campus
culture devoted to policing speech and punishing speakers is likely to engender
patterns of thought that are surprisingly similar to those long identified by
cognitive behavioral therapists as causes of depression and anxiety. The new protectiveness may be teaching
students to think pathologically.” He’s
right, you know. I wouldn’t be surprised
to see in the not too distant future course offerings like, “Creative Pathology
101,” or perhaps, “Advanced Pathological Thinking and Behavior.” The author concludes by noting that, “We’ll

victimhood, to the detriment of society and the country.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

behavior but nowhere in it can be found any emphasis on the “student” aspects
of university rabble rousing. The
article focuses on teaching our young folks how to be successful activists,
agitators, and protestors but it does not at all emphasize the responsibilities
those young folks have toward succeeding academically and intellectually. The piece literally treats “activism” as
something akin to a genuine, bone fide field of endeavor to be taken at least
as seriously as more traditional fields of study that lead to constructive and
productive professions and careers that actually make positive contributions towards
our nation’s future success and progress.
The author begins by advising that activists, “need to be seen as
responsible citizens in order to win respect, acceptance and legitimacy from
the majority of ordinary citizens who must be won over for movements to
succeed.” Do you notice the unabashed
hypocrisy here? Note the emphasis on

then, the activist doesn’t really have to be an actual, bone fide responsible
citizen as long as they are perceived as being so. This guy has managed to out
Machiavelli old Machiavelli. In The
Prince, Machiavelli maintained that the ruler didn’t really have to be good or
wise or kind so long as the people being governed could be hoodwinked into
believing it. This is the absolute
height of cynicism, arrogance, and scorn which are hallmarks of the Liberalism
that dominates our university and college campuses in today’s America. Liberals constitute the most intolerant
segment of our society and it is their false vision of our future that drives
them and their conspicuously mindless, non-thinking followers. They can’t tolerate views and policies that
deviate even slightly from their own.
Those that dare to disagree with them are vehemently and sometimes even
violently silenced and their freedom of speech is thoroughly destroyed. Go to the student union at virtually any of
our colleges and universities and dare to disagree with the latest Liberal
orthodoxy. It could be the current lies
about so-called man-made global warming or catastrophic climate change. It could be race relations between black and
white or the current nonsense over income inequality. It doesn’t matter. Open your mouth and you will be literally
shouted down, forced off the campus, and barred from ever returning. If you feel this is an exaggeration, go ahead

Additionally, the piece explains that the effective activist says, “yes
to society’s core values, assuming that these are morally acceptable.” Well, there’s quite the statement for
you. Who in the end are the arbiters of
whether or not society’s core values are acceptable? Liberals, of course. Do you think that these societal saboteurs
find America’s core values morally acceptable?
Not on your life! Let’s see, one
of our nation’s most basic values has always been a very limited federal
government that will only minimally intrude upon the lives of citizens. All you need to do is read the Constitution
and more specifically the Tenth Amendment to verify this fact. Do you think the Liberal activists and their
campus cohorts agree that this American value is morally acceptable? These socialists want and demand the exact
opposite. In their warped and twisted
view, they want government to solve all of life’s problems and pitfalls real or
imagined. You see, the normal, average
American citizen is deemed incapable of functioning on his own, taking charge
of his own life, and setting his own goals and priorities. Only government can do that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

problem of racism? Look to government
for solutions. Sexism? The same.
Income inequality? Just go
whining to Big Brother and presto – problem solved! The ravages of global warming and
catastrophic climate change? Once again,
call in the Feds. Does that sound like a
limited and less intrusive central government to you? Yeah, me either. How about other rock-solid American core
values like self-reliance and rugged individualism which have helped the United
States become the most powerful, wealthy, freest, and most generous nation in
planetary history? Do you think the
Liberal Scum who have so effectively brainwashed our youth find these core
values morally acceptable? Absolutely
not. Liberalism, you must understand,
requires no real thought, action, or effective solutions. It only requires noise but it never solves
problems because it can’t. It’s all
symbolism over substance, bullshit over brass, if you will. As long as you make the right noises about,
say, racism and inequality you are greatly admired. You don’t actually need to do anything to
solve any problems but rather just sound as though you care deeply. The same is true for such bogus and made-up
horrors as income inequality, rising sea levels, and the ravages of Carbon
Dioxide none of which, in fact, is even slightly problematic. Liberalism maintains that you really don’t
have to give a rat’s ass about any or all of them as long as you sound like you
do. As long as you come across as a
“true believer”, you are instantly lauded and lionized as one who is filled
with compassion for the fate of humanity but you don’t actually have to
accomplish anything real or substantive.
This mindset is ideal for controlling and molding our impressionable and
gullible youth who are always, it seems, on a never ending journey of
self-discovery. They want to be needed
and useful and Liberalism provides the grand illusion that they are. It doesn’t matter that it is dishonest,
bogus, and spurious so long as it gives our young scholars that warm glow of
“feel goodism” about themselves and their endeavors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

then, can a young, idealistic, save-the-world, end-the-injustice, and
give-peace-a-chance type go to receive a post-high school degree that will
further develop and refine the nascent narcissism with which so many of our
youth seem so infected? Are there really
institutions of higher education out there that actually award academic degrees
in the field of activism? Of course
there are and no, I’m not making this up.
Perhaps a good place to start would be to contact an outfit called
Freedom Connector (</span><a href="http://connect.freedomworks.org/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://connect.freedomworks.org</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">),
which outlines how one can obtain a degree in, “activism.” This organization explains that, “The Freedom
Works University degree in activism provides students with the tools they need
to become an effective activist.”
Additionally, “Courses examine important topics such as working on the
campaign trail, attending town hall meetings, and networking with fellow
activists.” Do you believe this
shit?!?! You want to be an activist? Get off your sorry ass and get out there and
activate! Why do you need a degree in,
“activism?” You really want to establish
your bone fides as an authentic activist?
Go out there and get yourself arrested a few times and perhaps you can
get some cooperative cop to bust your head open with a Billy Club or Black
Jack. That’s the way to get yourself
established in a career of Activism. By
the way, it’s also a sure-fire, fool-proof way to get “lucky” with some
wide-eyed, eager to please female activist!
The Freedom Connector piece continues that upon, “completion students
will know the basics of grassroots politics and campaigning, and have a better
understanding of how to make a difference at every level of politics, from
local government to the White House.”
Wow, so that’s how our current Activist-in-Chief got hooked up! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

(ACTV 101). This course helps the
student find other, “activists, events, and groups in your area to discussing
and sharing the most important issues facing the nation with activists all
across the country.” Once you have
completed this class, “you will be ready to put the power of political activism
where it belongs – in your own hands.”
Talk about activist utopia –well I guess! Yet another course, Activist Involvement:
Common Core (ISSU 101), deals with the, “new, nationalized curriculum known as
the Common Core State Standards.” Indeed
students, “will learn about the back-door deals that were necessary for special
interest groups, and what they can do to get involved in their local
communities to fight back.” Man, why

Pretty damned exciting, don’t you think?
A promotional piece entitled, “Social Activism (</span><a href="http://www.northeastern.edu%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.northeastern.edu)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
explains that students who, “minor in social activism will learn a variety of
perspectives and practical approaches to social activism.” Students, “interested in activism will have
opportunities to explore social movements, advocacy, and citizenship in a wide
array of situations. These opportunities
arise from the wealth of advocacy organizations in Boston; the access
Northeastern University students have to co-op experiences nationally and
internationally; and Northeastern University’s Service Learning Program.” Sounds like just the ticket for a budding
young rabble rouser. Northeastern U, of
course, offers the prerequisite course work for success in a career of
activism. Introductory classes include
such weighty examples as: Social Problems; Environment and Society; and Social
Movements. On the Intermediate/Advanced
level we find such offerings as: Global Human Rights – A Social and Economic
Perspective; Interest Groups and Public Policy; Environmental Activism and
Movements; and Class, Power, and Social Change.
Additionally, we note the category of, “Service Learning.” This includes such favorites as: Advocacy
Workshop; Social Policy, Advocacy, and Activism; and, of course, Politics of
Poverty. Yeah, there’s an education for
you that’s certainly well worth the exorbitant cost to Mommy and Daddy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

radicalization. The more I delve into
the topic of activism at our country’s colleges and universities the more
uneasy and less sanguine I become about America’s future and role in the
world. I can’t help but notice an
unmistakable current of anti-Americanism running throughout these
institutions. This is disturbing in the
extreme for at none of the aforementioned colleges and universities have I
detected anything even remotely resembling notions of pride in country,
patriotism, or nationalism. The folks at
these places seem to loathe and despise the United States as historically
founded and presently constituted. It is
an unmistakable undercurrent that is present at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. Given the fact that all
these courses are taught by full-blown unabashed Liberals and are attended by
Liberal Wannabees this conclusion cannot be avoided.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

activism and social change with an emphasis on the intersection of law with
those areas of social engagement and provides students with a broad based
introduction to the skills and techniques necessary to bring about useful
social change in a highly corporatized and technocratic society.” This certainly sounds like something that a
young person might want to explore. He
or she might be intrigued by such notions as, “useful social change,” and a,
“highly corporatized and technocratic society.”
But just what the FUCK does this mean?
SCU is not specific as to the meaning or purpose of this course of
study, so let’s analyze it for a moment.
This course emphasizes social change as though it is something new and
unique in the American experience.
Social change has always been with us because society is always
evolving, developing, and changing.
Change is a constant because without it we atrophy, stagnate, and
eventually die. Change is the ability to
adapt to the world around us and is, in fact, a necessary survival skill and
instinct. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Yet the
dunderheads at SCU seem to think they have discovered a uniquely new and even
radical concept here. The egg-headed
mopes who advocate social change give away their motives and their end game
when they tell us they want to “change” our highly corporatized and
technocratic society. They loathe and
despise anything to do with the corporate world or corporations because that
smacks of Capitalism and every good Liberal will drone on endlessly and
mindlessly about the evils of Capitalism and corporatism. They, as did one Mr. Karl Marx, view
Capitalism as an oppressor of mankind – especially the mankind of the working
variety. Our Liberal saboteurs,
especially at the college and university level, ardently believe that
Capitalism is an enemy to be defeated and any nation that has Capitalism as its
main socio-economic engine is also an enemy to be destroyed. This is not really open to interpretation but
instead can be proven by simply listening to what is being said and taught
about Capitalism on virtually any campus in the country. It is always referred to in the negative and
presented as a destroyer of freedom and an oppressor of the masses. Capitalism is always presented as evil and
since the United States is easily the most Capitalist country on the planet,
then it too is evil. The illogic and
dishonesty here is both profound and profane.
Those who go the “activist” route are never taught the unmistakable and
undeniable truths about Capitalism and the unparalleled benefits it brings to
mankind – especially working mankind.
Our system of Capitalism has created more wealth and prosperity than any
other in history. Capitalism has enabled
the average citizen in today’s America to live better and longer than the
wealthy classes of yore. Capitalism has
caused unheard of and undreamed of advances in all fields of endeavor to the
ultimate betterment of human kind. Capitalism has brought more happiness and
freedom in the world than any other economic system. The young folks at our colleges and
universities are never taught this. They
are brainwashed into believing that somehow or some way Capitalism has enslaved
the masses and benefitted only those at the very top of society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

focus of the course in question, changing our highly technocratic society, is
equally antithetical to Capitalism and by extension to the United States. For whatever reason, the folks who dreamed up
this course of study appear to be against technological innovation and
progress. The march of technology cannot
be ignored or denied and those who insist upon doing so are reminiscent of the
Luddites of old who literally raged against the machine. Technology in the hands and minds of the
wrong people can certainly be a dangerous thing but that is not the fault of
technology. Technological advances have
over the years have been an overwhelmingly positive force in the world and has,
in fact, been at the forefront of lifting more of the planet’s population out
of poverty than at any time in history.
It is Capitalism, of course, that has allowed technology to develop and
advance and to positively impact the lives of billions. You like your refrigerator and air conditioner? Thank Capitalism and technology. You like the variety of food and drink
available at your local grocery store?
Thank Capitalism and technology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

technology. Your I-Phone and
computer? Life-saving medicines and
medical procedures? Longer lives and
more leisure time? Labor saving devices
like washing machines and dryers? Once
again, thank Capitalism and technology.
Yet these farcical assholes at good old SCU would deny all of this and
insist that progress is somehow a negative.
Well, if you’re a Liberal Puke at some Ivory Tower Institute poisoning
the minds of literally generations of young Americans, this is the end-game. Turn our youth against the ideas and ideals
of progress and paint a picture of a Capitalist America as a world-wide scourge
and enemy of mankind. They can do this,
in part, by offering such weighty and provocative courses that include:
Activism, Advocacy, and the Practice of Democracy; Building Successful Social
Movements; Strategies in the Art of Advocacy; Direct Action, Protest, and Your
Rights; Digital Activism; and Empowerment and Personal Sustainability. Yeah, these and other courses like them all
over the country will certainly prepare America’s youth to succeed out there in
the real world and be prepared to receive the mantle of leadership when it
comes time to pass that torch. I’m

You should be aware, then, that this is a particular focus of virtually
every Liberal Scum-Dog in the country and these are the saboteurs who have
controlled our educational system for at least half a century. They are unrelenting in their hatred,
disdain, and contempt for the United States and the institutions and traditions
that made it great. It’s really
difficult for most Americans to grasp that concept. Here we have the prospect, for the most part,
of native-born American citizens emerging from the halls of higher learning
having been taught that their own country is evil incarnate and must be
radically, permanently, and fundamentally transformed. I am constantly amazed (although I shouldn’t
be anymore) that these folks don’t recognize or appreciate how very blessed
they are to have been born in the United States and by virtue of that accident
of birth are the freest people on the planet.
They are so free in fact that they can advocate and demonstrate for the
very destruction of this greatest of all nations. They fail to appreciate that every year
millions upon millions of foreigners try to emigrate here permanently because
they recognize the marvelous benefits that accrue to people who can call
themselves Americans. These ungrateful, anti-American twits can’t understand or
fathom the reality that if this place was so bad and so horrid the world’s
“huddled mases” wouldn’t be clamoring to get here and stay here. These total absolute assholes simply don’t
get the relatively basic idea that it is our Capitalist system that has created
the highest standard of living in the history of history. They refuse to admit
that under our system, no dream or desire cannot be achieved if one is willing
to work hard enough to make it a reality.
They don’t get the elemental fact that in America, as nowhere else in
the world, failure is almost always self-imposed and that the limits placed on
the individual are placed there by themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

degradation, dispossession, inequality, exploitation, imperialism, war, and
violence.” This drivel is absolutely
outrageous in that none of the above is even close to accurate. I firmly believe that those who teach this
utter bilge are more than aware that they are lying through their teeth. The fact that they are lying to a captive
audience of extremely naïve, inexperienced, and gullible youth compounds and
exacerbates their “crime.” The text
blames, “the global slump we are living through on capitalism. It is the predictable manifestation of a
crisis prone economic system rooted in production for profit rather than for
human need.” The anti-Capitalist
propaganda continues that, “For the sake of human development and ecological
sanity it needs to be overthrown.” Don’t
these fools get it? Capitalism has done
more to fulfill human need than any other system in history. This is simply a fact and only those who want
to destroy our country would view Capitalism in such a negative manner. The textbook further, “describes capitalism
as morally perverse, and defines it as a profit-driven economic system rooted
in inequality, exploitation, dispossession and environmental destruction.” Would you want your young son or daughter

against, “social and ecological injustice, and for a more equal, just
society.” Additionally, “We engage
students in a questioning of the fairness and sustainability of the current
capitalist world order and explore empowering ideas and examples of how to
challenge the status quo.” Challenging
the status quo? That’s simply
Liberal-Speak for completely destroying Capitalism – the greatest
wealth-creator known to man – and for turning the United States of America into
just one more Third World Shithole where everyone is equal: equally poor; equally unhealthy; equally
unfree; and equally miserable! That’s
what the LFE who control the educational system in our country most ardently
want, desire, and need. Furthermore this
course offers, “an overview of global social movement struggles with particular
reference to anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism.” It really can’t get more clear than

“pollution, exposure to hazardous waste, poverty, urban affairs, spatial

nothing more than an authoritarian and totalitarian philosophy that disdains

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Hey, how
about a show of hands? Raise your hands
if you are thoroughly and overwhelmingly sick to death of hearing about the
concept of diversity. C’mon, get those
hands up and wave ‘em around. I for one
am absolutely and utterly appalled and disgusted by the interminable and
constant use of that word and idea as it applies to our country, our
institutions, and our history. I am even
more angry-miffed every time I hear the phrase, “Diversity is our strength,”
or, “Our strength lies in our diversity.”
The word and catch phrases are so ubiquitous as to have lost all real
meaning and usefulness. They are so over
used and misapplied as to have become literally meaningless. They are much like the ever present and all-consuming
charge of, “racism.” We all know that
racism – the real deal – is brutal and devastating in its physical and
psychological effects. It is spirit
crushing and soul destroying when it actually happens. It has become, however, so over used and
misapplied as to become virtually meaningless.
Most of us when we hear the charge of racism or racist no longer take it
seriously or even raise the proverbial eyebrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

learned through the years that the term is all too often employed by race
hustlers who are one thousand percent invested in the race-baiting
business-industry. Can we all say Al
Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? Those two
frauds, and many others, would be out of work and relegated to the status of
pathetic and ignominious laughing stocks if the real state of race relations in
America ever made headlines in the New York Times or the lead story on the Eye
Witness News channels. After all, how
exciting is a headline that reads, “Blacks and Whites Getting Along Just Fine,
Thank You,”? Yeah, I know. Ho-Hum.
The same can be said of that tired and worn charge of “Sexism.” When it really occurs, it is brutal and
utterly devastating to the victim. But
when the charge is leveled at some dumb schmuck who said to a co-worker
something like, “My, you look pretty today,” no one takes it seriously
anymore. It’s just not possible. Apologies here to that old hag Gloria and the
entire NOW gang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

concept of “Diversity” has not yet been relegated to the same fate as the above
mentioned “isms.” When we hear about
Diversity, we are all expected to become starry-eyed and weak-kneed and break
out into a collective chorus of Kumbayah.
We are expected to place the Diversity Advocates on the highest of
pedestals and view them as the most enlightened and right-thinking among
us. We are expected to worship the very
ground that they walk upon and must recognize their obvious moral superiority
when compared to the rest of us mere mortals who are so hopelessly mired in the mundane that we can’t be expected to
entertain or even contemplate such grand visions as Diversity and all of its
wondrous ramifications and results. We
are the little people and must recognize the infinite intellectual superiority
of the Champions of Diversity among us.
It is not for us to question their obvious wisdom and our more than
obvious inferiority. We should and must
be content with knowing our place and accepting all that our “Betters” deem
right and proper. We are obviously
incapable of thinking independently or making informed decisions for
ourselves. We are far too unenlightened
for that and our mental acuity has not evolved to the point where we can be
taken seriously by any of those who are obviously far wiser and more sophisticated
than us lowly and despised peons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Far Left. They are full-blown and
unapologetic members of the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) and are united in the
fact that they all thoroughly despise the United States as historically founded
and presently constituted. You might
want to read that again. These folks are
for the most part native-born and raised and they have been taught to
thoroughly hate the country that has given them so much. How, I wonder, is that possible? Without this country, they are nothing. Without the protections afforded them by our
magnificent Constitution, they are less than nothing. This nation that they hate guarantees their
right to free speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly and from
the Hater-in-Chief on down they use those freedoms to constantly bash and
denigrate the United States. They never,
ever, have anything good or positive to say about America but revel in trashing
it and tearing it down. Additionally,
these America Haters are guaranteed their due process rights as seen in the
Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

would be jailed, killed, or worse and their families and friends would suffer

are experts at biting the hand that feeds them and our nation suffers because
of it. The Liberals amongst us want the
United States to be taken down. They do
not believe we deserve our status as the world’s lone super power and the fact
that we are far and away the world’s wealthiest nation is completely
undeserved. Whatever wealth and power we
have accumulated, we have stolen from the world’s poor, less fortunate, and
brown. In their warped and distorted
view, the United States is the major cause of all the planet’s woes and ills
and the sooner America is knocked off its lofty perch, the sooner the oppressed
of the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tactics Liberals use to accomplish their ignoble ends is their constant
emphasis on the concept of Diversity.
They celebrate it, extol it, and revel in it because they are fully
aware that it is a wedge issue and one that divides rather than unites. It emphasizes differences and ignores any
similarities that have always unified us as a people and a nation. It tears asunder the all important notions of
patriotism, nationalism, and love of country without which no nation can long
survive. Without “commonalities”, there
is no basis for unity or common cause.
By constantly stressing our differences, the various groups and
interests among us are forever pitted against one another with no emphasis on
our unique American heritage or exceptionalism.
The LFE are fully cognizant that their constant emphasis on our
differences can do nothing but harm this country. They constantly pit black against white, rich
against poor, the haves versus the have-nots, Hispanics against everyone else,
and the religious against the secular.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

no differences among us that they will not exploit in order to rip this country
apart and divide us to the point that any form of unity is all but impossible
and this is their ultimate goal. It is
an effective use of the age-old tactic of divide and conquer and the Liberals
in our midst are experts at its implementation.
They are fully aware that a divided America – a diverse America – is a
weak America. It weakens us internally
and on the world stage. Obama and his
minions have gotten us to the point that our allies do not and cannot trust us
and our enemies no longer fear us in any manner, shape, or form. The Obama Crowd – all champions of the
Diversity Movement – have done this both purposely and gleefully and will
continue in this vein until the end of the Dear Leader’s presidency. The very last thing they want is a unified
America whose citizens are proud of this nation. They do not want a population that extols the
virtues of our past, is proud of our accomplishments, and realizes how very
lucky we are to have been born into the freest, best, and most unique nation
that God ever gave mankind. This the LFE
simply cannot have for it defeats their central goal of bringing America to its
knees and relegating us to the level of just one more poverty-stricken Third
World Shithole of a nation. This is what
they ardently believe and have assiduously worked for since at least the
1960’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not be satisfied until the United States has been transformed into something it
was never intended to be. They deny the
concept of American Exceptionalism and view our founding and our Founders as a
dark stain on the history of the world.
These are the folks that America voted into power in 2008 and 2012. These were not merely two more run of the
mill presidential elections but rather represent a radical sea-change on the
part of the American electorate. More
and more Americans now seem to be embracing the concept of an ever more
powerful and intrusive central government which will be involved in every and
all aspects of the lives of the citizenry.
This is, in fact, one of the central goals of the entire Diversity Is
Our Strength Mob. They will create so
much disunity and discord that the nation is seemingly ripping itself
apart. The Left will create so much
confusion and chaos among us that the only solution will be to rely on “Big
Brother” to set things aright. This is
what Diversity does and is designed to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

more of us are apparently willing to sit back and be taken care of rather than
engage in time honored American traits like self-reliance and rugged
individualism. The LFE promises
everything from free cell phones to free college and university educations and
far too many Americans are just drooling with anticipation. They no longer want to rely on themselves and
their own inner strength, fortitude, or ability. Instead, they are willing to exchange their
freedom for the false promise of being taken care of from cradle to grave. I believe it was Ben Franklin who so many
years ago maintained that those of us who would sacrifice a little freedom for
a little more security deserve neither.
He was right. Those on the Far
Left –including the entire Diversity Crowd – are Hell bent on promising
security but will never admit that it comes at the cost of a loss of liberty,
and liberty once lost can never be regained.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Diversity,
by the way, seems to be such a simple word, such a noncontroversial and
seemingly harmless term and idea. The
American Heritage College Dictionary defines it as, “difference,” or, “variety
or multiformity.” Alright, nothing earth
shattering here. The Oxford American
College Dictionary notes that the term means, “variety,” or, “a range of
different things.” Well then, this
certainly seems simple and straightforward enough. It also seems fairly innocuous and non-threatening. We all, I think, welcome a little variety in
our lives. It helps keep boredom at bay
and can make life a bit more interesting.
Think, for example, of the diversity we all seem to enjoy when it comes
to the simple act of food consumption.
You know, eating. We all do it
and I believe most of us enjoy it. Think
of the wondrous variety and types of food choices available to us on any given
day. Feel like Chinese tonight and maybe
Italian tomorrow? You got it. Next week perhaps a little French or Mexican
cuisine? No problem. Later in the month maybe we’ll visit a
traditional American steak house. You
getting hungry yet? I sure as Hell
am. There’s diversity for you. After all, hasn’t it been said that variety
is the spice of life?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Care for
yet another example of diversity that makes life a tad more interesting? Certainly.
Just think of the variety in attire that we all witness on any given
day. The Fashionistas among us make
literally millions by offering us so many choices and styles with regard to the
clothing we wear. And let us not forget
the diverse and varied fields of entertainment available to us which can
literally make one dizzy. All of this
diversity, all of these choices, are absolutely fine. Nothing at all wrong with them and they do
make our lives just a bit more interesting and lively. What they do not do, more importantly, is pit
various groups of Americans against one another. What they do not do is emphasize the
differences that exist among various groups of Americans to the point where
those groups view one another as the enemy – a foe to be defeated and
conquered. The examples of diversity
proffered thus far do not engender hatred or animosity. They do not set one group against another and
they certainly do not foster emotions of jealousy, envy, or hatred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

occurs when the concept of Diversity becomes politicized and the Liberal Pukes
among us have raised this to the level of an art form. They don’t just celebrate Diversity, but
rather use it as a club with which to bludgeon Americans into submission. Ordinary citizens are seemingly afraid to
object to the Diversification Movement for fear of being accused of political
incorrectness. Objections to Diversity
will lead to charges of intolerance and bigotry. If one is deemed insufficiently Diverse in
attitude, action, or opinion labels of racism, homophobia, Islamophobia,
jingoism, nationalism, xenophobia, and many more will be levelled at the “offender”
who will invariably be shouted down, ostracized, and viciously and maliciously
maligned. Those of us who object to the
Diversity Movement will find that the First Amendment no longer applies insofar
as we are concerned. Our freedom of
speech or press no longer matters when we defy the tenets of political
correctness and dare to express our opinions on the subject of Diversity. The Liberal Fucking Elite among us behave in
a decidedly illiberal fashion any and every time their orthodoxy is
challenged. They are incapable of
diverse or divergent points of view yet they claim to the Champions of
Diversity. This constitutes nothing less
than blatant hypocrisy and dishonesty which, of course, are hallmarks of
Liberalism as played out in present day America.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Diversity can only be tolerated in a
nation that is united and proud of its history, traditions, and institutions. Diversity can only be tolerated in a nation
whose population is steeped in a healthy dose of patriotism and
nationalism. Diversity can be viewed as
a positive force only in a country whose population is sure of itself,
understands its greatness and uniqueness, and realizes beyond any question that
our country more than any other in planetary history has been the greatest
source for good, prosperity, and progress that the world has ever seen. A nation that is sure of itself and is
confident about its future can tolerate a measure of diversity. A nation whose citizens have not been taught
any or all of the above will not and cannot tolerate diversity for very long
for the diverse groups within the country have no common glue binding them
together as one people united under one flag.
Without celebrating our similarities as Americans and by over
emphasizing our differences to the virtual exclusion of all else, no country
can survive as an intact, unified, and cohesive national entity. Perhaps you may think this is being over
stated here and that I’m bordering dangerously close to hysteria tinged with a
near lethal dose of paranoia?
Really? I give you the glaring
and horrific example of the former Yugoslavia of not too many decades ago. That nation dwelled on nothing but ethnic and
religious differences for so long and so exclusively that it literally
imploded. It ripped itself apart over
its differences and the result was the total “Balkanization” of that country
with literally hundreds of thousands of lives being lost (see The Balkanization
of America Rant of 3/20/13). This is
what happens when Diversity is celebrated and emphasized above and beyond all
else. This is the inevitable outcome
when patriotism and nationalism are no longer taught and passed from generation
to generation. This is how a nation dies
or more accurately commits suicide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

an educational system that has been controlled by Liberals and Liberalism since
as far back as the 1960’s, arguably the most destructive decade in our
history. They have been taught – read
that brainwashed – that America represents the epitome of evil in the
world. Anything wrong anywhere on the
planet is our fault. World- wide poverty
and hunger? America’s fault. Death, disease, and epidemics? America’s fault. Wars and conflict? Yup, blame us again. Racism, intolerance, and bigotry? Blame Uncle Sam. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and
floods? Our fault. From kindergarten right up through college
and university our kids have been taught over and over again that the United
States is nothing less than evil personified and that the world would be far
better off had the American Revolution never occurred. By the time the Liberal Pukes who control our
educational system are done with our youth, the brainwashing and anti-American
propaganda has taken its negative toll.
Our mis-educated youngsters have been taught to thoroughly despise their
own country and there is literally no chance that they will leave school
feeling proud of their country.
Patriotism and nationalism have been effectively and successfully

It’s really amazing when you stop to think about it. The English couldn’t beat us all those years

terrorist scum cannot bring jus down.
Instead, we are being defeated and destroyed from within. The Liberals in our midst, the Champions of

he is an American but something else also, isn’t an American at all.” Furthermore, “We have room for but one flag,
the American flag . . . . We have room
for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and
that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Yeah, read that one again. Old
Teddy was basically saying, “Fuck Diversity!”
Diversity is anathema to a successful, proud, and unified nation. Diversity constitutes nothing less than a
nation killer because it divides Americans against one another, creates
suspicion and mistrust, and sows the seeds of discord and discontent. This is exactly and precisely what the LFE
among us wants, needs, and desires. The
last thing they want is a united and cohesive population that focusses on what
brings us together as one people rather than our differences. Can you imagine any modern-day politician
saying anything that even remotely resembles TR’s sentiment of so long ago? That poor Bastard would undoubtedly be
tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail! Expressing sentiments that even remotely
border on nationalism, patriotism, and American Exceptionalism is guaranteed to
make you an instant outcast and pariah in our politically correct,
multicultural, and diversity-worshiping culture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piece entitled, “Can Diversity Destroy Us?

puts the lie to the Diversity Is Our Strength Mantra. The author explains that by, “1960, we were
almost 90 percent European and more than 90 percent Christian – of one
nationality, American, one language, English, and one culture.” The piece recognizes, however, “that America
is gone forever.” The keyword here being
forever. The writer continues that in
the, “last seven years, 10.3 million people, almost all from the Third World,
entered the United States, more than half illegally. The nation that was one-tenth minority in
1960 is now one-third minority.” The
piece correctly insists that, “European-Americans will soon be a minority in
the nation, as they are today in California, Texas, and most large American
cities.” The writer asks a question that
should be on the minds of all Americans when he queries, “And when that day
comes, what then will unite us as a people?”
What indeed? As author Patrick
Buchanan maintains, “Certainly not religious faith, for the last 40 years has
seen a large influx of Muslims, the rise of rabid secularism and the break-up
of Christian churches . . . over issues of morality, abortion, civil unions,
homosexual bishops, assisted suicide, stem cell research, Darwin,
creationism.” Additionally, we are no
longer, “united by a common language, as the fastest growing radio and TV
stations are Hispanic. And certainly not
culture, as we are in a culture war over history, heroes and holidays.” This is what Diversity has wrought and this
is what the LFE in our country has purposely and successfully promulgated. Diversity is in fact destructive and those
who champion it want nothing more than to cause and witness the destruction and
demise of our great nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Buchanan
backs up his pessimistic but realistic assertions with historical and
incontrovertible fact. He asks, “How can
we say diversity is a strength when the most diverse nations of Europe,
Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, shattered into 22 nations as soon as they
became free, and Slovaks and Czechs divorced?
Ethnic and linguistic diversity is now pulling Belgium apart, as they
tore Cypress in two.” The pundit
continues that since, “World War 11, diversity – racial, religious, ethnic,
cultural – has pulled Malaysia, the Indian subcontinent, Indonesia and Ethiopia
apart, and is today pulling Iraq, Turkey, and Lebanon apart. How, when tribalism is everywhere and
ascendant, is diversity a strength?” The
simple answer, of course, is that it isn’t.
It’s anything but a strength and is in fact a nation killer. Given Buchanan’s all too brief history of
Diversity here, can any of us possibly believe that the United States is
somehow, by some miracle, headed for a different fate or outcome? Yeah, I didn’t think so. The author concludes by noting that, “This
generation is witnessing the Deconstruction of America. Out of one, many.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There is
simply no way to get around the glaring fact that Diversity is anything but a
strength and, in fact, is nothing but a destructive force that only creates
discord, discontent, and division. Coupled
with its hand maidens of multiculturalism and political correctness our nation
is headed toward disaster. There is no
escaping that outcome. Most folks don’t
realize what’s coming in the not too distant future because Americans have
always and historically been a fractious and contentious lot. We’ll literally argue and disagree on any
issue you can possibly think of or imagine.
We seem to relish and revel in differences of opinion over virtually
everything and anything. You name it,
and we’ll find a way to disagree and that’s always been viewed as one of our
strengths. As we’ve seen the world over,
however, when the capacity to argue, disagree, or discuss the pros and cons of
any issue hardens into unrelenting and uncompromising factions we have become
effectively Balkanized. This is why the
Liberal Scum in our midst constantly stress our Diversity. This is why they purposely and expertly pit
so many groups and interests against one another. They are proud of their role as “Dividers”
and do everything they can to ensure a lack of unity and common purpose among
our population. They are the ones
Hell-bent on destroying any and all vestiges of common interest and purpose
among and between Americans. These are
the folks that forever denigrate this country and have taught our young that
they have nothing to be proud of insofar as the United States is
concerned. A country simply cannot
survive under these conditions and circumstances and history is replete with
examples that attest to this inalterable fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entitled, “How to Destroy America: Speech by Colorado Governor Lamm (</span><a href="http://www.bluewaterteaparty.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.bluewaterteaparty.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is particularly useful here. Lamm’s
first step in the destruction of America would be to, “turn America into a
bilingual or multilingual and bicultural country.” Is there anyone out there who can honestly
say that this hasn’t already happened?
The speech continues that history, “shows that no nation can survive the
tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and
cultures.” Can we all say
Diversity? Secondly, in order to destroy
America he suggests inventing, “multiculturalism and encourage immigrants to
maintain their own culture.” Look around
you folks and tell me this is not exactly what has occurred in our nation. Go into any large urban center in America and
this is exactly what you’ll see. The
melting pot experience is over as is the crucial and all important element of
assimilation which is the only reason that immigration in the past worked as
well as it did. Can we all say Diversity? Next up on the list to
destroy America would be to, “encourage all immigrants to keep their own
language and culture.” In addition, it
is “important to ensure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in
America reinforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing
their similarities.” Ain’t Diversity a
wonderful thing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">
Additionally, he would make, “our fastest growing demographic group the least
educated,” thus guaranteeing a permanent underclass which would be forever,
“undereducated and antagonistic to our population.” Can anyone look at present day America and
say this is not exactly the case? Former
Governor Lamm went on to note that our school systems suffer from countless,
“illegal alien kids who can’t speak English and arrive from functionally
illiterate parents. They cannot perform
academically because their parents have no interest or background in viable
educational processes.” The problem here
goes far beyond the fact that we now have literally millions of young folks who
aren’t being properly educated because this relates directly to the demise of
our country as we have always known it.
Lamm continues that, “democracy requires four disciplines to flourish
while remaining viable. It requires an
educated population that possesses a similar moral and ethical foundation while
speaking the same language. The United
States, via massive immigration, is losing all four aspects. It cannot and will not remain workable much
longer with the disruption of its educational systems.” Next up on the former governor’s list of how
to destroy America would be to, “invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish
the cult of victimology. I would get all
minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority,” and
he would, “start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the
majority population.” Hello Sharpton,
Jackson, La Raza et al!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">
Additionally, the next step in the plan to destroy America would be to,
“include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than
similarities,” because, “Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating
each other – that is, when they are not killing each other.” Can anyone say that we have not yet reached
this point in America today? It seems to
me that’s exactly where we are and we can thank the LFE and the Diversity Mob
for this outcome. Next up, Lamm would,
“place all subjects off limits – make it taboo to talk about anything against
the cult of diversity.” This is the very
essence of Liberalism in America. If you
disagree or dissent, you will be silenced.
You will not be allowed to speak or to air views that are out of sync
with the current emphasis on such Orwellian concepts as multiculturalism or
political correctness. This is the very
antithesis of what America has always stood for and represented. We have always been a place and a people that
have tolerated and understood differing points of view. We have assumed that people are entitled to
disagree without incurring the hatred and animus of those on the opposing side
of an issue or argument.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Not so
anymore in our PC and multicultural world.
Should you disagree with the Liberal orthodoxy, you’d better get the
fuck out of Dodge! Liberals cannot
tolerate anyone or anything that presents an opposing view and that constitutes
nothing more than a huge “tell.” It
superbly illustrates their total lack of confidence and insecurity in what they
profess to believe. All they are capable
of doing is shouting down opponents rather than argue their points convincingly
and logically. They are only capable of ad
hominem attacks but are completely devoid of all reason and rationality. Well, they are after all Liberals and this is
the most we can expect of them. Finally,
Lamm concludes that, “I would make it next to impossible to enforce our
immigration laws. I would develop a
mantra: that because immigration has been good for America, it must ALWAYS be
good. I would make every individual
immigrant sympathetic and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of
them.” There is absolutely no argument
to be made against Governor Lamm’s assessment of conditions in America today,
unless you are a Far Left, America Hating, Liberal Puke! Our country is purposely being destroyed by
the LFE amongst us and absolutely nothing is being done to remedy the
situation. Those on the Far Left are
bound and determined to, “dismantle America by design. You may call it multi-culturalism or
diversity or one world government or globalism.
It all means the extinction of the United States as a free, cohesive,
sovereign and functioning society.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I think I’m finally done “screeding” about that loathsome, anti-American, and
venal institution headquartered at New York City’s Turtle Bay, it finds a way
to enrage and infuriate me. As I contemplate
the myriad methods the United Nations displays its utter disdain, malice, and
even hatred for the United States, I seem to lose all sense of balance and
proportion. I absolutely can’t discuss
or even contemplate the U.N. without becoming exceedingly agitated, angry, and
frustrated. It seems that not a day goes
by when America bashing is not the main focal point of the organization’s
reason to exist. It is not fostering and
promoting world peace nor is it the alleviation of a suffering humanity. It has little to do with healing the sick or
lifting the world’s poor out of grinding and debilitating poverty, or any other
grand humanitarian endeavor. No, its
primary function and motivation is to bring America down, to disparage and
impugn our very well deserved reputation as the world’s most generous and
humanitarian country in planetary history, and to blame us for all the world’s
evils and ills. That organization is
populated, for the most part, by countries headed by two-bit, piss ant tyrants,
dictators, and downright thugs who persist in keeping their populations in
extreme poverty, ignorance, and hopelessness while the leaders live in the lap

way, I’ve made before. We “resign” our
membership in the club we’re now in, kick that organization out of the country,
and start one of our own. How’s that
sound? This new club will, of course, be
headed by the United States and membership will be exclusive as opposed to inclusive. There will be strict rules and regulations
for admittance to our new organization and all prospective members will face a
mandatory probationary period during which they must prove their continued
worthiness. For starters, only nations
that have established some form of political system that allows its citizens to
freely choose their leaders will be permitted the privilege of membership. Some form of democracy, then, will have to be
an integral part of any member’s political identity, history, and nature. Will new members be required to mirror our
system which is properly described as a representative constitutional
republic? No, of course not. There are a variety of political systems out
there that allow the citizenry to both choose and remove leaders thus making
government a bottom up proposition rather than one that emanates from the top
down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Additionally, each new member nation must have a written constitution
that clearly and expressly states the rights of the citizenry while
simultaneously limiting the power of government. Any new member nation must have in place an
economic system based on concepts of free enterprise and markets and is
consumer driven. This is the only system
that allows the growth of a large middle class that can provide prosperity for
the majority of its citizens. It is the
only economic system that has built into it the concept of upward mobility and
thus affords the possibility of hope, optimism, and unfettered
opportunity. There exist approximately
one hundred and ninety or so nations on the planet and only about 75 to 80 of
them in some manner, shape, or form come even close to meeting the above
outlined requirements. Membership, then,
will be exclusive as opposed to inclusive and any country run by thugs,

balance pro-American and pro-individual rights, freedom, and liberty need not
apply. It’s time the rest of the world

United States has wrought and it’s more than time that we insist that the rest

being so, the world is far more dangerous, unstable, and unpredictable. Conversely, when the United States is strong
the world becomes less volatile and eminently more peaceful. When we are strong and confident, the world’s

fun-loving folks like ISIS and Al Quaida surging forward and inflicting their

“Countries United to Promote Economic and Political Freedom (CUPEPF) or maybe,

France. The topic, of course, will be
Catastrophic Climate Change or more specifically Anthropomorphic Global Warming
(AGW). The fact that man-made global
warming is a complete and utter hoax and has absolutely no basis in “real”
science matters not at all to the Liberal, anti-American, anti-Capitalist, and
anti-Progress champions of the phony, fraudulent, and completely politicized
phenomenon. The folks who sponsor these
“summits” don’t know didly-squat about global warming or the fact that it is a
completely natural and normal phenomenon.
They have not the slightest clue about carbon dioxide – you know, that
evil CO2 – or the crucial role it plays for life on the planet. They know absolutely nothing, zip, nada about
it. Like so much of the bilge spread and
sponsored by the United Nations, it is but one more way to punish the United
States as well as other prosperous Western nations for our success. It is but one more tactic to redistribute our
wealth to failed and desperately poor Third World Shitholes that cannot and
will not blame themselves for the horrendous conditions that exist in their own
countries. After all, “scape-goating” is
far easier and more convenient than honest self-evaluation and a willingness to

notes that the, “draft text of the climate treaty for the soon-to-start UN
Climate Summit in Paris proposes to establish a global Supreme Court that would
rule on issues such as climate justice, climate finance, technology transfers,
and climate debt." Now these are some
terms I’ve never heard or imagined before. Climate Justice? Climate Finance? Climate Debt?
How does one establish, for example, such a thing as Climate
Justice? Are we implying that the
climate is somehow guilty of some heinous crime for which it must be
judged? I have always been under the
silly impression that climate is and always has been a naturally occurring phenomenon
to which mankind must adapt in order to survive. That adaptation has always been man’s most
daunting challenge and meeting it has always been a testimony to our very
instincts for survival and creativity.
Meeting that challenge has led to an amazing array of discoveries,
inventions, and improvements that have vastly improved the lot of mankind. I give you, for example, such revolutionary
and life altering gems like air conditioning and refrigeration. We also note the amazing and ingenious array
of agricultural techniques geared to accommodate the existing climate and
conditions in all parts of the world.
Along the same vein, we can cite the invention of heating systems that
make life livable and even possible in those parts of the world that can best
be described as brutally and deathly frigid.
We have also in our never-ending battle with Mother Nature developed an
ability to withstand her assaults on us mere humans via the invention of new
construction materials and techniques.
Now, however, we must come to terms with this Climate Justice paradigm
which makes not a lick of common or even uncommon sense until one puts it into
context and that context is simplicity itself.
Loosely translated, Climate justice means nothing more than FUCK the U.S.A.
and all other Western nations that can properly be described as successful
national entities. These are, of course,
constantly under attack by all the loser, Third World countries across the
globe as they contemplate their abject failures and our unlimited
successes. We are talking about envy and
jealousy run amok to the point where the losers are bound and determined to
punish the winners no matter how irrational and deranged that entire concept
may be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

something or other, and just for shits and giggles we’re also gonna steal your
technology! Why? Well, because we’re losers and the United
States is the biggest winner (read that target) we can find. This is but one more tired effort to bring
the United States down to the level of undeveloped Third World sorry-ass
excuses for nation states. Instead of
looking at America as an unmitigated success and attempting to emulate our

It is an attempt to by-pass and undercut this nation’s ability to
formulate its own policies and initiatives regarding climate policy, global
warming, and other “enviro” issues that quite frankly take up too much of our
time and resources. No matter how
ridiculous and unfounded are the climate catastrophes that those on our
nation’s Left keep reviling us with, they should and must be dealt with
in-house. Policies and procedures that
affect Americans must be decided only by Americans and not by some
international organization that wishes us nothing but harm and
destruction. The same piece correctly
maintains that such a tribunal would do nothing more than, “subvert U.S.
sovereignty,” by, “establishing a planetary judicial authority.” Additionally, the International Tribunal of
Climate Justice is an attempt to institute a, “global policy for effecting the
confiscation and transfer of gigantic portions of the planet’s wealth,” and
constitutes a serious effort, “to put an end to the capitalist system.” Additionally, those in favor of such a
tribunal are, “united in their common goal of destroying free enterprise and

sums up the purpose of the International Tribunal of Climate Justice clearly
and succinctly. The author explains that
such a tribunal would give, “Third World countries the power to haul the U.S.
into a global court with enforcement powers.”
This would effectively by-pass our own Congress and that, “policies once
left to sovereign nations could be turned over to a U.N. body. . . .” Additionally, over 130 developing nations
insist that they will not sign on to this proposed tribunal, “unless it
contains massive redistribution of wealth from developed to poor nations.” Take just a moment and read that last one
more time. Climate justice, climate
fairness, and climate whatever have nothing to do with anything. The whole damned Paris Climate Conference is
nothing more than a redistribution scheme designed to fleece America and other
developed, prosperous Western nations.

national sovereignty, and create a one-way street along which billions will be
redistributed from developed to poor nations.”
The author of the article correctly insists that those in favor of the
tribunal, “would like nothing better than a world where the West cedes the
competitive advantages their free market economies created,” and there you have
it in a nut shell. This climate
conference and tribunal are but thinly disguised efforts to destroy capitalism
and put an end to wealth creators like free enterprise and free markets. The entire damned scheme is based on the utterly

Well unfortunately, that day has arrived and this is what Liberalism has

going around,” and states that this tribunal’s sole purpose is to, “give a
world court unprecedented authority over the policies of sovereign nations like
the United states.” It really doesn’t
get any more clear than this and any objective observer will recognize the fact
that the United Nations views America not simply as another member state but
rather as an enemy that must be severely and harshly punished. The piece goes on to maintain that the
proposed tribunal constitutes, “the newest way the world’s liberals intend to
force wealth distribution on the U.S.”
In fact, many of the treaty’s supporters, “have already said they won’t
sign the treaty unless it includes mechanisms that will steal from the rich and
give to the poor.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

keep in mind that no matter how noble the old Robin Hood myth may sound, in the
end he was just a fucking thief! The
author of the piece goes on to say that it, “would be unthinkable that
President Obama and John Kerry would sign anything that would erode America’s
economic freedom, so that probably means they’ll jump at the chance.” He continues that, “After all, this is right
up their alley. They love giving away
America’s wealth; its security, and its power in the world. They think it’s somehow a great evil that we
have so much while there are starving kids in Africa. They refuse to see how beneficial American
success has been to the entire world.”
Additionally, the writer is convinced that, “We’re going to sign this
treaty (or another one like it) so we can prove to the world how benevolent and
caring we are across the sea. It’s a new
day in America. An Obama day! That means we embrace weakness. We submit to the authority of any culture
that is somehow less advantaged than ours.
We spit on our own accomplishments and we praise those who only bring
evil and chaos into the world.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

old Paul Revere’s battle cry/warning? Of
course you do. He rode his trusty steed
from town to town and village to village shouting, “the British are coming, the
British are coming!!” Did the American
colonists heed that clarion call, grab their flintlocks, and advance to meet
the dreaded Red Coat threat? Damned
right they did and the American Revolution as well as a nascent United States
of America was born. It was no small
feat, defeating the greatest military machine in existence all those years
ago. It took courage, guts, and
determination. It took an iron will and
an unshakable resolve on the part of those upstart, raw-boned, and cocky rebels
to even think they could defeat the might and wealth of the British
Empire. Who in the Hell did these
farmers and shop keepers think they were?
Their audacity, their sheer chutzpah, apparently knew no bounds. Their confidence and optimism were seemingly
limitless those many years ago.
Americans had the stomach, fortitude, and gumption to sacrifice whatever
it took to achieve victory and throw off the yoke of British imperialism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The end of
that war gave birth to the greatest nation the world has ever seen or will see
again. That Revolution gave rise to a
phenomenon that never should have existed all those years ago in an age when
freedom and liberty were simply unknown.
No one had any. The world was
ruled by dictators, tyrants, and monarchs for no other form of governance was
even conceivable or imaginable hundreds of years ago. Our Revolution, in fact, provided the world
with a sense of optimism, hope, and possibility. Our Revolution sparked others that came after
our example and for the first time in world history we began to witness a
radical change in the scope and meaning of government. Government, at least in theory, did the
bidding of the governed and for the first time those who governed were chosen
by the people and the “governors” were accountable to those who put them in
positions of power and influence. For
the first time in history, there now existed the possibility to dream of a
better future for one’s children and grandchildren. For the first time, we were no longer bound
by class and caste and with the birth of America was also born the amazingly
radical concept of this thing called Upward Mobility. America as both a nation and a notion was
truly unique, remarkable, and exceptional.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Yeah, but
as the old saying goes, “that was then and this is now.” America has changed since its inception and,
sadly, so has the American character and psyche. When our nation was young and weak, our people
were stalwart and strong. Now that our
country is strong and powerful, our people have grown weak, timid, and
unsure. In our nation’s formative
stages, our people were confident, optimistic, and full of hope. Now that America has matured, our people seem
filled with self-doubt, a lack of will and resolve, and a palpable sense of
dread and pessimism seems to have overtaken us.
We seem unsure of ourselves and our direction and apparently too many of
us seem convinced that America’s best days are behind us, not still in front of
us. In days gone by, Americans guarded
our newly won freedoms and liberties both jealously and zealously because they
had been achieved at a great and bloody cost.
In those heady days, we were quick to recognize any and all threats to
the principles and spirit of the American Revolution and those threats were
simply not tolerated but were dealt with and dispatched immediately by any and
all means deemed necessary and proper.
As a young country, our instinct for survival was honed to a razor-sharp
edge and before too very long the world learned not to take this new nation
lightly and that as Americans we would do whatever was necessary to defeat our
enemies be they external or internal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Unfortunately,
even tragically, that is all gone. Our
survival instinct has been permanently dulled right down to the nub. Modern-day Americans no longer value and
cherish those rights and freedoms that so many fought and died for. Our Founding Documents and the revolutionary
concepts contained therein evince no more than a bored yawn from most Americans
today who are convinced that what happened over two centuries ago has
absolutely no relevance for those of us living in 2015. As a nation, we have forgotten our history
and the lessons we should have learned and taken to heart. As a nation, then, we can no longer pass
those lessons on to our children and grandchildren for they have been forgotten
– erased – from our collective memory.
As a people, we have become so lazy, happy, fat, stupid, and complacent
that most citizens can’t even recognize the fact that America is under attack
by a real and very determined enemy bent on our absolute and utter
destruction. We refuse to recognize that
the enemy is not merely at the gates but that the Rubicon has indeed been
crossed and that our foe is poised to strike from within. We have been thoroughly infiltrated and the
very rights and freedoms won by our forbearers will be used against us in a war
that rages on while most Americans sleep blissfully right through it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

for a new Paul Revere to mount up and go galloping off into the night. It’s time for a legion of Paul Reveres to
boldly warn of the very real and imminent threat that our country now
faces. Sadly, there are far too few
Reveres left out there and those who do come forward to warn of the danger that
is about to engulf us are ridiculed, mocked, or just downright ignored. They are viewed by a complacent nation as
paranoid nut-jobs and freaks with way too much time on their hands. They are considered by most Americans as mere
Rabble Rousers, Trouble Makers, and Misfits.
They are looked at much like the eccentric old uncle at family
gatherings. We must put up with him,
tolerate him, excuse his idiosyncrasies but he is never, ever to be taken seriously. Just let the old geezer babble on for a time
and we won’t have to see or hear from him again until the next family get
together. How many of us, however, have
ever bothered to ask ourselves, “What if the old fool is right? Maybe Uncle Ga-Ga is on to something here
that the rest have missed.” Is that even
a remote possibility?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The answer
unfortunately is an unequivocal and resounding YES! Our nation is indeed in grave danger and the
warning signs are all there if we’d just take the time to remove our heads from
our asses long enough to look around. We
even have our own real live modern-day Paul Reveres doing their damndest to
warn us of the danger that we have been ignoring for far too long. Read, for example, anything by such stalwarts
as Daniel Pipes, Pamela Geller, or Robert Spencer to name just a few. They provide factual, scholarly, and well
researched work that rationally, logically, and accurately explains exactly and
precisely the crisis that America now faces.
As is to be expected, they are largely ignored by most Americans and
their dire warnings fall on deaf ears.
In my own miniscule way, I have warned of the looming crisis that will
befall the United States if we don’t wake the FUCK up and smell the damned
coffee! See, for example: The Moderate Muslim Rant of 12/1/08; The
Honor Killings Rant of 4/22/09; The Sharia Law in America Rant of 5/14/11; or
The Death to America Day Rant of 6/30/15. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
warnings, obviously, no longer deal with the British and the evils of English
Imperialism. Today the modern equivalent
would properly be, “The Islamists Are Here, The Islamists Are Here!” They are not merely coming or arriving but
rather they are right here in our midst and America is, in fact, being
Islamicized. The threat, however, goes
largely unnoticed and the warnings are conspicuously unheeded and ignored and
that proves, at least to me, how badly our basic instinct for survival has
shriveled, atrophied, and dried up! We
have been warned by our enemies that they intend to destroy us and to vanquish
all vestiges of Western Civilization and establish a worldwide Caliphate
governed by strict Sharia Law. In fact,
most “bad guys” will tell you of their intentions if we just listen and take
them seriously. As a nation, however, we
simply refuse to do so. One day we’re
gonna wake up, look around, and ask, “What the Fuck happened? How did it ever come to this?!?” The answer is not all that difficult. We let it happen. We stopped vigorously and jealously guarding
our hard fought for and won freedoms and liberties and have too long taken them
for granted. We have misguidedly assumed
that those freedoms and liberties will always be with us. After all, haven’t they always been? We have become careless, sloppy, and ever so nonchalant
with regard to our precious birthright and we have not as a people protected
and defended it. Some would say that
which we refuse to defend is that which we no longer deserve to have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

duck or perhaps find a large rock to hide under. I am about to be accused of being an
Islamophobe – as in one who finds Islam, shall we say, distasteful. They’ll yell and scream that I hate Islam and
all who practice that particular faith.
They will foam at the mouth and accuse me of being intolerant, paranoid,
and utterly insensitive. They’ll further
accuse me of being nationalistic, jingoistic, and xenophobic all at the same
time. They’ll accuse me of condemning
one of the world’s great religions that claims over one billion adherents
across the globe. Well, to tell you the
truth I’m not exactly sure where I stand on these issues/accusations. To condemn an entire religion does seem to be
more than just a tad bit presumptuous.
To condemn over one billion folks does indeed smack of more than just a
little intolerance and perhaps a lack of understanding on my part and might
suggest that I could benefit by spending at least some time in a “re-education
camp” where my mind could be made right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The fact
remains, however, that the United States is being Islamicized at a very rapid
pace. The fact remains that most
Americans are totally unaware and unconcerned about what’s been termed “Radical
Islam” and the in-roads it has made and continues to make in our country. Many would have us believe that Islam –the
Religion of Peace – has been “hijacked” by a small minority of radical and
rabid members of the faithful. The
number I frequently see is no more than ten percent. Ten percent?
Big deal. Let’s say for the sake
of argument that we agree with this number.
Hey, it’s only ten percent. Well,
that’s roughly one hundred million PLUS (as in 100,000,000+) folks who actively
and violently want the rest of us to convert to Islam or Fucking die! That’s quite a sizable army, don’t you
think? And it’s not just an army of
regular, ordinary, normal types. No,
it’s an army of radical fanatics bent on the destruction and subjugation of all
non-Muslims, non-believers, anywhere in the world but especially in the
decadent West. And the United States, of
course, is the most decadent of all the decadents out there. According to the Islamists, America is tops,
numero uno, in the decadent department.
As such, we are the primary target for those advocating the
establishment of a world-wide caliphate governed according to the strictest
tenets of Sharia Law which demands that non-believers be literally destroyed. Yet there are still far too many Americans
who refuse to believe or accept this fact. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

these folks? For the most part, they are
ordinary, average American citizens.
Americans have always been an extremely tolerant people especially when
compared to the rest of the world. We
have historically been very accepting of the “other,” and seem proud of our
live and let live attitude. Don’t bother
me and I won’t bother you. Let me be and
I’ll do the same for you. Simplicity
itself. Innocence itself – coupled with
an enormous dose of pie-in-the-sky naiveté.
We as a people simply don’t understand or comprehend the kind of openly
hostile intolerance evinced by Radical Islam and those who adhere to its
tenets. It’s just not fathomable and our
enemies know this and don’t hesitate to use this national character trait
against us. Our enemies also know that
as a nation, we have enshrined the principle of religious tolerance in our
First Amendment to the Constitution and therefore the very thought – not to
mention the act – of criticizing or condemning another religion just doesn’t
sit well with most folks. It goes
against the grain, so to speak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

exist others among us who may recognize the threat posed by so-called Radical
Islam but are loathe to voice that opinion out loud in front of God and
everybody. For at least the last four to
five decades, Americans have literally been bludgeoned by this thing called
Political Correctness which insists that there are no absolute standards of
right or wrong, good or bad. The PC
crowd revels in what is called Moral Relativism which condemns nothing and
extols everything. To be judgmental violates
all PC codes and tenets and will invariably lead to charges of intolerance,
bigotry, and hatred. Political
Correctness is considered the height of sophistication and enlightenment and
those who do not embrace it are considered so far out of the loop as to be at
the very least inconsequential. This
fear of being condemned and accused keeps many of us from speaking out and
raising an alarm about what is happening to our country and it is this fear
that in the end will usher in our demise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the United States to its knees.
According to them, we do not deserve the wealth and power we have
accrued over the centuries. They insist
that whatever America has accomplished is undeserved and illegitimate. We, according to these anti-American
Sons-A-Bitches, have stolen what we have from the globe’s poor and weak and
that, in fact, the United States constitutes the world’s worst oppressor and
aggressor. They not only recognize and
understand the current Islamization of America, they welcome and applaud it. What they fail to grasp, of course, is that
“Radical Islam” hates them too and wants them dead. After all, in the end they are still
non-believers. We are setting ourselves
up for a fall and unless Americans embrace the reality that the world is in
fact an extremely dangerous place and that much of the rest of the globe
literally hates us, I fear our demise is both certain and imminent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

begins by noting that the, “end game for Islamists is full conversion of the
entire globe to their totalitarian ideology, and the conquest of the United
States is the Holy Grail along the pathway to full control.” The article continues that Europe, “is
sinking under the weight of Islamic immigration, and the United States is not
far behind. Islam is now the fastest
growing religion in the U.S.” The author
warns that if, “Americans do not quickly awaken to the rapid permeation of
Islamization in our country, it may very soon be too late to recover from the
damage. How would you like to see your
daughter or granddaughter forced to wear a burqa? This is not only a real possibility, but is
already happening in the United States.
We have first row seats to our own demise, and any who speak out against
it are labeled racist or Islamophobic rather than informed or patriotic
defenders of liberty and religious freedoms.”
The same article explains a key concept or tactic known as Hijra. The Hijra, “is a comprehensive and direct
political attempt to undermine the culture and values of the host country and
replace them with Islam and Shariah.”
Additionally, it is an, “insidious migration seeking transformation of
the culture, behaviors, customs, rules and laws of a host society to spread
Islam and to establish an Islamic state.
The stages of Hijra are very much evident in varying degrees in all
Western societies today. Ironically, our
open democratic societies with constitutionally mandated freedoms of speech,
religion and assembly have facilitated this march toward the very demise of our
way of life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piece entitled, “America is Going Muslim (</span><a href="http://chersonandmolschky.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://chersonandmolschky.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
speaks much to the same point and claims that the, “Islamic takeover of the US
is gaining ground,” and that, “America is going Muslim. . . .” Well, most Americans would ask, “What’s the
big deal here?” After all, hasn’t
America always been a so-called melting pot and the home to every conceivable
religion, creed, and philosophy known to man?
The answer, of course, is yes and we have always – rightly or wrongly –
considered that one of our strengths.
Sadly, that seems no longer to be the case where Islam is
concerned. It’s not that America or
Americans necessarily object or find fault with that religion but rather that
Islam finds fault with America and views us as Godless infidels who must be
converted to the “true faith” or be destroyed.
We have all heard, no doubt, that Islam has been referred to as the
religion of peace. What most of us do
not realize and are not told is the Muslim vision of peace. Peace can only be achieved when Islam reigns
supreme. As long as there exist the
infidels – the non-believers – peace is an impossibility. The very word and concept of Islam means
submission and until all submit, peace can never be achieved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
article notes that the melting pot concept is, “doing less melting, and the
bashing of Christianity and Judaism is perpetrated by the leftist, liberal
culture which has overtaken the country, while all other religions are given
free rein in the name of religious freedom.”
This is an extremely important point.
Since our inception as a nation, we have adhered to our Judeo-Christian
founding and heritage. This has always
been a definitional underpinning of the United States but in recent decades has
come under constant and unrelenting attack especially by the Far Left in our
midst. Judeo-Christian bashing has
become something of a national past time and is even considered ever so
fashionable and enlightened by the LFE among us. They continually attack America’s foundation and
have apparently weakened it to the point that the rest of the house is about to
collapse. Political correctness,
however, dictates that not one word of criticism dare be leveled at Islam for
that would be considered – Heaven forfend – intolerant and that will simply not
be permitted in PC America. Better to
bash our own founding principles than to find even the slightest fault with a
religion which claims among the faithful millions who have sworn to destroy us!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author
notes that the aforementioned freedom of religion would be, “fine on two
conditions: first, that the religion of
the majority, the religion that founded this nation, is also allowed to exist
without the shame that is being placed upon it nowadays; and second, that any
religion that seeks to eliminate the rest, which seeks to conquer and destroy
the nation and which is dictated by holy books and clerics calling for the
violent act of rape and murder in the name of their god, is not granted the
same rights as other religions.” The
piece maintains that, “Islam, the only religion that falls into the above
category, cannot be treated the same as the other religions whose adherents
simply wish to be left alone to worship in peace.” That’s one Hell of a statement and I can
imagine that it makes more than just a few of us somewhat uncomfortable. I know it does me. Ignoring an obvious threat, however, is an
invitation to absolute disaster and facing up to and confronting obvious
threats to our very existence and way of life, while certainly not pleasant, is
necessary to our survival as a free constitutional representative republic that
values individual freedom and liberty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author
goes on to note that now, “Muslim immigration to the U.S. has doubled over the
last decade and will continue to rise as we stay on the same trajectory.” In fact as, “Muslims weave themselves into
the fabric of our civilization and build more mosques where our destruction is
preached, we are seeing more terrorism and more homegrown terrorism
specifically as a result of Muslims putting down roots here. And so the rise in the Muslim population has
led to a rise in mosques and consequently, a rise in terrorism against the very
nation which adopted these immigrants.”
Well, this is beginning to sound like a blanket condemnation of Islam
and all Muslims. As alluded to earlier,
I am not comfortable with this nor is it my intention. Try as I might, however, I can find virtually
no evidence to contradict the stark reality that Islam and its adherents in our
nation actively and even fervently wish to destroy the United states, our
institutions and traditions, and especially our Judeo-Christian heritage. I find constant examples of Muslim
intolerance and animosity toward all things non-Muslim. I find little to no evidence that these folks
want to integrate themselves into American society or assimilate and become
Americans. While America, as always,
seems perfectly willing to accommodate them, they don’t seem to have any
interest whatsoever in accommodating us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been told there are millions upon millions upon millions of what has been
termed Moderate Muslims out there who are not Jihadists or Islamists and yet I
rarely, if ever, hear about them or see them.
Every single time – as in 100% - America is attacked at home or our
interests are attacked abroad, I see grand demonstrations of support for those
who committed the atrocities. I see no
crowds of “Moderate Muslims” marching in the streets protesting the violence
committed by their Radical Brethren. I
have great difficulty believing that there is an entire religion out there
whose main goal seems to be wiping us out.
I have a hard time grasping or accepting the notion that we are so
despised by so many when historically we have come to the aid of Muslim nations
whenever aid was required. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

thing. Indonesia has more Muslims than

tsunami of horrific proportions? The
devastation literally defied description and if memory serves, the death toll
ran into the six figures. Who was there
to help first and with the most? You got
it –the good old U.S. of A. We have
always done that – we have always come to the aid of the less fortunate around
the world. And you know what? They still hate, loathe, and despise us. To them, we are still the Great Satan,
Infidel #1, and Non-Believers who must be converted or destroyed. That being the case, why do we even bother
providing aid and assistance when catastrophe strikes? Why do we even extend the hand of friendship
only to have it slapped it away?
Primarily, because this is who we are.
Besides being the most wealthy and powerful nation in the world, we are
easily the most generous. It’s in our

exist out there at least a few Muslims who were born into the faith but over
time came to reject and denounce it.
That, by the way, is an extremely gutsy move. Those who leave the religion are branded as
“apostates” and are sentenced to death by the “faithful.” A piece entitled, “A Warning From A Former
Muslim (</span><a href="http://www.siotw.org%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.siotw.org)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
provides an insider’s view as to the fate that awaits us should the
Islamization of America continue. The
author explains that he, “was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is
a sick and evil religion.” I get the
feeling that this guy better get the Hell out of Dodge and head for the tall
grass! The author notes that the
faithful are locked in a death struggle with the infidel and that, “American
laws will protect us,” and “Democrats and Leftists will support us.” He further posits that, “Western universities
will educate us; Mosques will shelter us; and Hollywood will love us.” As referenced earlier, the Islamists among us
will use our own institutions, laws, and traditions against us. The article further informs us that we, “will
use your welfare system. Our children
will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.” This fellow is telling us what is in the
Jihadist playbook and yet most Americans simply will not or cannot grasp the
message. These folks are the enemy and
want to destroy us. Furthermore, “We
will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the
back. We will say one thing on the
camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal message to our
children to uphold Islam at any cost.
Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s
interest than US interest.” Do you begin
to get it now? These folks are very
serious about our destruction and demise and they know full well that most
Americans are fast asleep at the wheel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

childhood. We will teach them not to
compromise with Infidel. Once we do that
from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over Europe first and then US
will be the next. We already have a
solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the
US.” This is not some weird power
fantasy or the ravings and rantings of someone who has lost touch with reality
and is being tracked by the men in white coats anxious to return him to the
asylum. Everything the author warns us
about is happening but Americans seem blind to what’s taking place. Here we have an apparent insider letting us
know exactly what to expect and our response seems to be a giant
Ho-Fucking-Hum! The author warns that in
public, “we will say that Islam is the religion of peace,” and that, “Jihad is
actually inner Jihad.” Additionally,
“Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the
West will believe it because the West is so gullible. Moderate Muslims all over the world will
incubate Jihadist by their talk by defending Islam. Using Western legal system we will assert our
Sharia Laws, slowly but surely. We will
increase in number. We will double
again.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

article continues by noting the approved use of deception when the “faithful”
deal with the Infidel. It maintains
that, “You will be impressed when you meet a Moderate Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbor, coworker,
student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite,
humble that will make you say, ‘Wow, Muslims are good and peaceful
people.’ But, we will stab you in the
back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.”
The author warns, “Fasten your seatbelt.
The war of civilizations has just begun.
We will use your own values of kindness against you. You are destined to lose.” This guy certainly doesn’t sound like much of
a “kidder” to me and he certainly seems to know exactly what he is talking about. Americans, it seems, are too busy being
politically correct or are so tragically and dangerously naïve as to not be
able to believe that there exist an awful lot of folks out there who want us
dead!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

think that all of this talk of the Islamization of America is merely a giant
hypothetical or a topic of debate at some Liberal college or university, you
should understand that we are not dealing with some mere theoretical
possibility that exists only in the minds of a few Far Right Wing Nut Jobs, the
NRA, or Tea Party Types. Far from
it. Would it surprise you to know that
there exist in America right now what have been termed terrorist camps
dedicated to our demise and the establishment of Sharia Law throughout the
land? Yeah, it kinda surprised me
too. A piece entitled, “22 Islamic
Terror Camps in U.S. (</span><a href="http://www.tldm.org%29/"><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.tldm.org)</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
speaks directly to this point. The
article notes that the, “FBI is aware of at least 22 paramilitary communes in
the U.S., operated by the shadowy Pakistan-based group Jamaat al-Fuqra and its
main U.S. front group, Muslims of America.”
Additionally, “With U.S. headquarters in Islamberg, New York, the group
headed by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani operates communes in
mostly remote areas of California, South Carolina, New York, Texas, West
Virginia, Michigan, Tennessee and other states.” In fact, a 2007 FBI record states that,
“members of the group have been involved in at least 10 murders, one
disappearance, three fire bombings, one attempted fire bombing, two explosive
bombings, and one attempted bombing.”
Playful bunch of fellas, don’t you think? The piece maintains that, “the communes
operate much like Europe’s No-Go Zones which are Islamic enclaves where
adherents live under Shariah Law and are off limits to non-Muslims. Police also tend to avoid the enclaves.” If you don’t find that more than just a tad
bit disturbing, then in my humble opinion you are part of the problem. You are one of those folks who simply refuses
to grasp reality and under no circumstances are you going to believe that our
country faces a grave and imminent threat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

explains that, “Islamberg is just one of what is thought to be a half dozen
radical Muslim paramilitary compounds flourishing across the United
States. This one is nestled in the dense
forest of the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock,
New York.” Additionally, these,
“residential compounds in rural hamlets across the country shelter hundreds of
members, some of whom, according to intelligence sources, have been trained in
the use of weapons and explosives in Pakistan.”
The author asks a particularly relevant question as she queries, “Why
aren’t people reading about these flourishing compounds in their hometown
newspapers?” She further asks, “Does it
require too much work for the mainstream media, or do politically correct times
keep the topic taboo?” The writer
answers her own questions stating that, “It seems to be politically incorrect
to write about radical Muslim military compounds flourishing on American soil

notes that a, “small community in Brazoria County has been causing a big stir
over rumors that it serves as an Islamic terrorist training camp. The community, called Mahmoudberg, sits along
County Road 3 near the town of Sweeny.”
Apparently, Mahmoudberg was the home of one of the Rabid Islamists who
brutally murdered journalist Daniel Pearl and in fact, “a few years ago, there
was a shooting on the compound. County
officers were called, as well as EMS.
However, when they arrived, they faced hostile members of the compound
who would not let them inside.” We have
normally associated so-called “No-Go Zones” with European nations but
apparently they are alive and well right here in the United States. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

warns that there is little if any, “concern or discussion regarding the
terrorist threat from dozens of Islamic military warfare camps, already in
operation, preparing its soldiers for jihad on American soil.” The piece specifically identifies Mahmoudberg
as a No-Go Zone where civil authorities have relinquished control of our legal

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> When I
hear the word “sanctuary”, certain images spring to mind. I can picture my man “Quasi” running around
the cathedral like a deranged rat on crack screaming, “Sanctuary, Sanctuary,”
as the poor, hump back tries to avoid mobs of frenzied Parisians bent on
destroying the sorry-assed, bell-ringing creature. Sanctuary also conjures up visions of a
benevolent and compassionate church offering protection and succor to the
despised and outcast amongst us. After
all, who will speak for those whom society shuns and fears if not our religious
institutions? The concept of religiously
based protection for those who cannot protect themselves is probably as old and
time-honored as is religion itself. It
seems fit and proper that our religious institutions should be on the vanguard
of those offering protection to and for those in our midst who are lost,
despised, loathed, and hated. All
organized religions, I believe, have always championed those at the bottom who
have run out of both options and hope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> According
to Webster’s New World Dictionary, the word sanctuary means, “a place of refuge
or protection.” Additionally,
Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Basic English provides the following meanings: “a place that provides safety or protection,”
or the, “protection from danger or a difficult situation that is provided by a
safe place.” Well, that’s fairly clear
and unambiguous isn’t it? Certainly it
is but importantly, these definitions are devoid of any reference to religion,
things deemed holy, or churches and religious institutions. Like so much else in our modern, fast-paced
society the term sanctuary has become completely secularized and sanitized. Without some religious connotation, sanctuary
could very easily refer to nothing more than a hide-out or a safe-house for
wrong-doers seeking to avoid our duly appointed authorities whose job it is to
apprehend them and bring them to justice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

relative of mine, for example, committed a bank robbery and in the process
gunned down a teller and a guard could he make it to my house and claim
sanctuary? As the police closed in to
arrest said relative, could I approach, tell them to back off, and explain that
I’m providing sanctuary for the criminal who is holed up in my basement? Yeah, that’s what I thought too. The idea of offering sanctuary to mere common
– or even uncommon – criminals simply does not pass muster nor does it come
even close to anything even resembling a common sense paradigm. That damned dog just don’t hunt! The entire notion is ludicrous and outlandish
in the extreme as is the entire concept of our so-called sanctuary cities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> For those
of you who have not yet noticed, we are experiencing a huge problem with what
has been euphemistically been dubbed, “Illegal Immigration.” Illegal immigration? Just what in the Hell does that term really
mean? If you said absolutely nothing
then I congratulate you on your perceptiveness and your absolute grasp of
reality for the term means literally nothing.
There really is no such animal as illegal immigration. You see, we have, in fact, a very specific
and proscribed legal policy of immigration.
We have a perfectly legal manner by which those from other nations can
come to America, stay here on a permanent basis, become full-bore bone fide
American citizens, and take advantage of all that this great nation has to
offer. The legal immigration process is
easily discernible and comprehensible and to comply all one has to do is follow
the rules and therein lies the fucking rub!
That silly follow the rules thing.
If one chooses not to do so and come here illegally, then that
individual is not an immigrant but rather an invader – as in one who
invades. The term illegal immigrant
should be replaced by the more accurate, “Illegal Invader,” for that phrase
leaves absolutely no doubt about their status, their intentions, or their
respect for our laws. It also leaves no
room for doubt as to how they view American sovereignty or how little they
respect of customs, laws, and traditions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> If we view
them as invaders as opposed to immigrants, the entire argument as to what to do
with them becomes utterly and absolutely moot – null & void. There is only one thing to do with invaders –
get rid of them – send them packing.
Incarcerate them. No one would
argue with this if someone illegally invaded their home. The invader is leaving by any and all means
possible. The invasion would be halted
and the invaders defeated and destroyed.
There is no question about this.
The problem arises, however, when we view invaders as immigrants – legal
or otherwise. Immigrant, it should be
obvious, has a positive connotation while invader can only be viewed in the
negative. If the average American understood
that what we are experiencing, especially on our southern border, is an actual,
real live invasion then it simply would not be tolerated. Any weak-kneed, lily-livered, poltroon of a
politician who stood for such an invasion would be tarred, feathered, and run
out of town on a rail! Even the dullest
among us knows full-well that an invasion means conquest and destruction. These are not mere by-products or unintended
consequences but rather constitute the overriding and central goals of those
who are invading our country. They want
to destroy this nation and turn it into something it was never intended to be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

look back at 9-11 for just a moment.
Were the fanatics who took out the Twin Towers immigrants? Were they immigrants of the illegal
variety? Fuck, no! They were genuine, bone fide, true-believing
invaders bent on our defeat and destruction.
That is, after all, what invaders do.
Go way back to 1979 when the Iranian mob stormed and took over the
American embassy in Tehran. They invaded
American territory and spat on the concept of American sovereignty. They were not immigrants seeking a better
life on American soil nor were they refugees fleeing horrific conditions in
their homelands. They were invaders bent
on conquest and destruction. Fast
forward to that fun-filled nation of Libya when an American ambassador was
pulled out of an American embassy and murdered at Benghazi along with three
other American citizens. Our completely
ineffectual Secretary of State along with the anti-American Commander – in –
Chief did absolutely nada, zip, zero about this invasion of sovereign American
territory and the murder of four fellow citizens goes unavenged to this day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If our lying, scum-dog politicians – on both sides of the aisle – would
simply call a spade a spade (Oops! Am I
even allowed to use that phrase anymore?) they’d tell the American people what
we already know: we’re being invaded by
a foreign enemy bent on our destruction!
Oh, and by the way, they’re winning and they’re winning hands down. It’s no contest, especially since we are
apparently and obviously not willing to fight back. We refuse to defend ourselves and seem not to
even recognize that we are in a war for the very survival of this nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

built that wall yet? Has our southern
border been closed yet? Hell, has our
northern border been closed yet? Right,
we are doing nothing to defend ourselves against the invaders. Have we demanded that other nations (can we
all say Mexico?) stop pushing their “wretched refuse” north of the Rio Grande
thereby making them our problem once they step foot on American soil? Have we begun
deporting even a tiny portion of those who snuck in here illegally? Have we even tried to emulate President
Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” (no, I’m not making that up) when the Old
Golfer literally deported something like three million of the invaders? That’s right, he just kicked their illegal
fucking asses outa here because they had no right to be here! There was no such thing as political
correctness back then but rather a very healthy sense of American patriotism
and pride. Back then, America was seen
by Americans as something very special and unique and being an American citizen
was something to be proud of and grateful for.
We were not so quick to share or to play well with others but jealously
and vigorously guarded and protected our precious birthright for ourselves and
those who would come after us. In fact,
we were so diligent about protecting this great nation that immigration –
virtually ALL immigration – ceased from 1924 to 1965. As a nation, we had had it with foreigners
coming here - both legally and illegally – and refusing to assimilate, refusing
to become Americans. As a nation, we
just were not taking that SHIT and we fought back and defeated the invaders of
that bygone era.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> We have no
time for excuses anymore, not if our country is to survive and I mean that
quite literally. The United States of
America is in danger of disappearing as historically founded and presently
constituted and one of the first steps we must take is to utterly and forever
destroy the concept of so-called Sanctuary Cities! These are cities, both large and small, that defy
U.S. law regarding the illegal aliens in our midst and refuse to cooperate with
federal authorities and agencies charged with apprehending those from other
nations who should not be here and must not be allowed to stay. According to a piece entitled, “List of
Sanctuary Cities (</span><a href="http://www.aspanlaw.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">www.aspanlaw.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
a sanctuary city, “is a name given to a city in the United States that follows
certain procedures that shelters illegal immigrants. These procedures can be by law (de jure) or
they can be by action (de facto).”
Furthermore, “the term most commonly is used for cities that do not
permit municipal funds or resources to be applied in furtherance of enforcement
of federal immigration laws. These
cities normally do not permit police or municipal employees to inquire about
one’s immigration status.” Finally, the
piece explains that the, “designation of Sanctuary City has no legal meaning.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The list
of Sanctuary Cities in America numbers well over two hundred and can be found
in virtually every state in the union from Alaska to Wyoming and if we had any
states beginning with the letters X, Y, and Z we’d find even more
examples. They include such well known
urban centers as Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco on the West coast to
New York City and Camden, New Jersey on the East coast. Up north, we have Detroit, Michigan and
Minneapolis, Minnesota while down south, Miami, Florida and, of course, our
nation’s capitol. The point here, of
course, is that the “invaders” already know where their safe harbors exist no
matter what part of America they find themselves in. The “illegals” know full well that once they
show up in one of the sanctuary cities, they are pretty much immune from
prosecution and punishment by our federal government especially considering
who’s been running the show since the Presidential election of 2008. Those folks who don’t belong here know damned
well even before they get here that pretty much nothing will happen to them for
illegally crossing our southern border.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is instructive. It explains that the, “definition
of sanctuary is to give refuge or safety,” but that, “sanctuary cities apply
that definition not to American citizens, but rather to foreign invaders, also
known as illegal aliens, by giving these illegals protectionist status by
refusing to enforce immigration laws.”
Additionally, “this protection is even applied to illegals with criminal
backgrounds, and also to those illegals who have been arrested, incarcerated,
then released by the American criminal justice system.” That’s one Hell of a comforting thought,
isn’t it? Even those foreign invaders
who have been rounded up and incarcerated find their way back to the streets
where they continue to prey on American citizens. Case in point? Absolutely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> You may
remember the name Kate Steinle. She was
a young lady who was taking a stroll with her dad on a pier in the lovely
sanctuary city of San Francisco. She was
gunned down, “by a foreign invader, 45-year old Francisco Sanchez, in broad
daylight as she was simply walking along the San Francisco pier with her
father. Sanchez had previously been
deported five times and stated that he went to San Francisco because he knew it
was a sanctuary city.” Let’s see. Deported FIVE times and he still managed to
murder an innocent American citizen in an American sanctuary city. Yeah, our immigration laws are just being
enforced to the fucking hilt!! The piece
concludes by noting that more than, “200 cities, counties and states across the
United States are considered sanctuary cities.
These state and local jurisdictions have policies, laws, executive
orders, or regulations allowing them to avoid cooperating with federal
immigration law enforcement authorities.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

surprisingly, these cities, “ignore federal law authorizing U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to administratively deport illegal aliens without
seeking criminal warrants or convictions from federal, state, or local
courts.” We certainly have the tools to
combat the invaders and get rid of them.
We apparently do not have the will, the chutzpah, or the balls to do
so. We have fallen prey to the ideology
of political correctness to the extent that our very instinct for survival has
been destroyed. We know perfectly well
what this illegal invasion has done and continues to do to our country. We are fully cognizant of the undeniable fact
that it is utterly destroying the United States. This invasion kills our citizens, depletes
our resources on all levels, and tears asunder whatever measure of social
cohesion we may have achieved over the last few hundred or so years. There is no denying this and those who do so
are part of the problem and I firmly believe that they have betrayed this
nation and must be punished for their treason!
We are so afraid of being called “racists” for wanting to protect our
borders, language, and culture that we don’t even protect ourselves any longer
from forces bent on destroying us. I believe that as a country and a culture we
are committing national suicide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

speaks directly to this point . The
article notes that there, “are 276 sanctuary cities across the U.S. These are cities that blatantly violate the
law on immigration by allowing illegals to stay unmolested by the
authorities. Now a new study shows that
in the last 8 months alone these so-called sanctuary cities have released over
8,000 illegals convicted of crimes back out into our population bringing the
total released to over 17,000.” And just
in case you’re wondering, we’re not talking about so-called victimless crimes
or perhaps white collar criminals. We’re
talking about a whole lot of seriously dangerous Mother Fuckers who’d just as
soon cut your damned head off as look at you.
I’m also willing to bet the ranch that not just a small percentage of
those folks released back into my community and yours are members or affiliates

at war with us and all that we stand for and we sit around with our collective
heads firmly ensconced up our assholes!
The article further explains, “that many of those illegals have been
rearrested after their release and charged with nearly 7,500 new charges,
including child sex abuse.” You might
want to read that last just one more time – slowly – and then if you live in
one of these sanctuary cities, or even if you don’t, go have a serious “chat”
with the fathers of those municipalities.
I’m sure they’d explain that they’re just being compassionate to those
less fortunate than us. Well, where the
fuck is their compassion when it comes to Ms. Steinle and her family and
friends? Where is their vaunted

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Well then,
what are our esteemed political leaders doing to stem the invasion and repel
the hordes of invaders who seemingly come and go at will? Apparently not a whole Hell of a lot
regardless of party affiliation. Many
seem to have simply thrown up their hands in total surrender and are willing to
live with this new “norm” no matter how adversely it affects our nation. “Simply Nothing To Be Done,” T-shirts should
be provided for these cowards, these traitors, who won’t lift a finger to
defend America from a foreign invader. I
am absolutely convinced that these pusillanimous putzes would raise the white
flag even if we were attacked by soldiers wearing the uniform of a foreign army
as it marched on Washington, D.C.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> We must
never forget that these cowards always place winning the next election above
and beyond country and patriotism. They
are, after all, career politicians and plan to spend most of their adult,
waking hours in the House, the Senate, or both.
Once they leave, they will as soon as possible become registered
lobbyists where the real money is. In
one fashion or another, their fortunes are inextricably tied to our nation’s
capitol and nothing that occurs outside of the “Beltway” matters all that much
to them. In addition, there can be no
question that Democrats desire open borders and unimpeded immigration in order
to garner future voters. Historically,
new immigrants have voted overwhelmingly for the Democrats because that party
has traditionally been the one that hands out the freebies thereby allowing
Democrat politicians to play Santa Clause all year long. Nothing like the promise of free shit to woo
and lure future voters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Republicans,
it would seem, should be against pretty much anything favored by their
political adversaries but in the case of immigration, this would be
incorrect. They too want massive
immigration to the United States because all of these “newbies” represent a
vast source of extremely cheap, unskilled, and uneducated labor that can easily
be taken advantage of by American business and entrepreneurial classes. After all, cheap labor is a major
cost-cutting strategy that can potentially increase that old bottom line
immeasurably. It matters not a whit to
those greedy, unethical, and unpatriotic Dick Heads that their decisions hurt
and weaken America as well as our nation’s home-grown working class perhaps
beyond repair. On neither side of the
political aisle, then, does country or citizen come first and yet each of these
lying, scurrilous Bastards took a solemn oath to defend both.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> They are
not to be trusted for it seems that greed, avarice, and the seductions of power
trump all else including love of country.
The Founders, by the way, insisted that politics never become a
life-long career for any citizen. They
realized the truth of that oft-used adage that power always corrupts. They knew full-well the frailties of mere
mortals and that power is never easily abandoned. They envisioned a system in which average,
ordinary citizens would interrupt their lives for a term or two, fulfill their
civic duty, and then go home and resume their normal lives and business. They knew the dangers inherent in government
positions becoming life- long sinecures and fully understood the corruptive
nature of a life time spent “working” in government. Given what’s going on in both political
parties today, it’s obvious that these long dead white guys knew exactly what
they were talking about!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There do,
however, seem to be at least a few elected officials out there who may actually
take their responsibilities and their oaths somewhat seriously. An article entitled, “Sanctuary Cities
Violate the Law and Officials Should be Held Accountable (</span><a href="http://freedomoutpost.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://freedomoutpost.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
speaks directly to this important issue.
It seems that Senators Jeff Sessions and Ron Johnson, both Republicans,
have joined forces to sponsor the Protecting American Lives Act also known as
S. 1842. This act would, “end sanctuary
cities and severely punish any illegal aliens who illegally re-enter the United
States after previous deportation.” Well
I guess that’s something but I’ll bet the Steinle family is thinking way too
little, way too late. The Senate bill,
“would withhold federal funding from any state or local jurisdiction that
refuses cooperation with federal immigration enforcement – including the
notification of feds when apprehending criminal illegal aliens and about
honoring immigration detainers.”
Furthermore, “it would also provide legal immunity to jurisdictions that
honor such detainers and it would establish a five-year mandatory sentence for
the illegal re-entry to the United States of previously deported illegal
aliens.” Well, we may have something here. Is it possible that at least a few of our
elected officials recognize that the illegal “alien” issue is one that that
must be addressed and solved?
Unfortunately, the answer to that question is NO! Nowhere in the bill is the issue of border
security even mentioned let alone addressed.
Until the borders are locked down and secured, no amount of legislation
regarding illegal entry into the United States can be taken at all
seriously. It’s all so much Bullshit
& Bombast. It’s a case of locking
the barn door long after the cows have run off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There also
exists when considering the issue of sanctuary cities the entire concept of
jurisdiction. Where, legally and
constitutionally, do these cities and their elected officials get off defying –
literally nullifying – federal law? What
they are doing is patently illegal – as in criminal – and it must be
stopped. You may remember from your long
gone school days discussing the Nullification Controversy and the state of
South Carolina which simply decided to ignore federal law with regard to the
entire state’s rights issue as it related to slavery. President Lincoln wasn’t having any of that
crap and the next thing we knew Fort Sumter was being bombarded. That precipitated that pesky little affair we
call the Civil War. Our system of
Federalism delegates certain powers exclusively to the federal government and
reserves others only to the states. In
the case of immigration and all things relating to it, the federal government –
not the states – constitutes the only legal authority. The article referenced above notes that
according to Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States only
the, “Congress shall have power . . . to establish a Rule of Naturalization,
and . . . to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this
Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or
officer thereof.” The same piece also
points to the Tenth Amendment which maintains that all powers not given to the
federal government are reserved to the states and the people. Clearly, immigration is the sole and
exclusive responsibility of our federal government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> What,
then, gives these sanctuary cities the right to nullify federal law and usurp
powers granted only to the federal government?
You got it, absolutely nothing.
These cities and those elected to govern them are violating federal
law. They are certainly guilty of
violating the Supremacy Clause of our Constitution. Additionally, a strong and very effective
case of obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting criminals and criminal
activity or enterprise can easily be argued.
I further maintain that in the cold-blooded murder of the aforementioned
Ms. Steinle, the city fathers of San Francisco should be considered accomplices
of the illegal invader who pulled the trigger and ended her young her
life! Think that’s just a bit much? I doubt that the Steinle family would have a
problem with it. The piece concludes
that if, “our immigration laws were enforced and followed by these cities and
our borders secured, quite possibly the individuals whose lives were cut short
by these criminals committing additional crimes might still be alive today and
individuals who suffered violence at the hands of these criminals would be
leading very different lives.” Finally,
the piece accurately notes that this, “clearly points to the fact that these
violations by cities across the nation threaten every American citizen, whether
residing in those cities or not.” Another
piece entitled, “Sanctuary Cities: No Peace and No Justice (</span><a href="http://dailycaller.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://dailycaller.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
concludes by noting that it, “is time that our leaders look at the victims of
the failures of the immigration system as being more than unavoidable
collateral damage for the politicians who put their greed and political careers
ahead of America.” Amen to that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Any
politician regardless of party who supports, for example, Obama’s Executive
Amnesty for illegal invaders who reside in the United States has rightly and
justly earned the title of traitor and I use that term in the literal
sense. They have automatically betrayed
their oath to protect America from all enemies both foreign and domestic. This is not mere rhetoric or hyperbole. It is not just blather nor is it a form of
sensationalism. It is an accurate and
logical description based on their obvious lack of love or feeling for the
nation they are complicit in destroying.
To label these anti-American SonsaBitches as anything less than
traitorous is to excuse their treachery.
Why would any American do that?
Why would any American who truly understands the history and historic
role of the United States as a force for good in the world betray this nation
that has been the envy of the world since its inception?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The answer
may be found in one word – Liberalism.
Yup, it’s as simple as that.
Since at least as far back as the 1960’s, Liberalism has declared war on
the United States and all that it stands for and represents. These people loathe their own country and
want to see it destroyed as historically founded and presently constituted. They firmly and ardently believe that we do
not deserve the success we have achieved as a nation. We do not deserve to be the wealthiest and
most powerful country the world has ever seen.
In fact, the Liberals would tell you that we have done nothing more than
robbed, looted, and killed our way to the top of the heap. Whatever success we have achieved has been
done so at the expense of and to the detriment of the world’s poor and
oppressed who, by the way, were always so-called people of color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> It is bad
enough that they actually believe this bilge, but they have literally been
brainwashing our younger folks with this shit for generations. Our young are not taught American history as
it actually unfolded. No, that simply
won’t do for it doesn’t fit the Liberal-Puke agenda of America as the Evil
Empire. For generations these saboteurs
have controlled education in this country from kindergarten straight through
college and university and our young folks have been fed an unending barrage of
Anti-American bullshit for literally as long as they’ve been alive. It’s hardly surprising, then, that by the
time they become young adults they have nothing but contempt for the United
States. They have been taught by their
Liberal masters that America has been and is the world’s foremost aggressor and
oppressor and that we as a nation have represented nothing but humanity’s
darkest side. The fact that nothing
could be further from the truth matters not a whit for Liberals are just not
interested in truth-telling. They are
only interested in destroying young minds that might otherwise grow up to think
critically, rationally, and objectively.
This they cannot have and this they will not tolerate. They must shape and mold our young ones so
that they can be easily led and will do their bidding with nary a question
being asked nor a doubt being formed in their young minds. They will faithfully follow the party line
even if it means the destruction of the greatest country God ever gave mankind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> In addition
to our educational system, the Liberals amongst us have a virtual strangle-hold
on what has been termed American popular culture. They virtually control the media in this
country. The “News”, such as it is, is
nothing more than an extension of the Democrat National Committee and the
United States is almost always portrayed in the most negative of terms. Reporters no longer report, but instead
propagandize and prostelatyze. They are
anything but objective but rather follow the party line no matter where it
leads them. The same can be said for
America’s entertainment industry from Hollywood to Broadway to television. Our young folks are bombarded with this
anti-American shit even before they learn to walk. How are they supposed to feel proud of America
if everything they learn, hear, and see about our country is the essence of
negativity? Therefore, when they learn
about such things as sanctuary cities they are overwhelmingly and
enthusiastically in favor of them regardless of the fact that their very
existence violates federal law and that they provide safe havens for criminal
invaders. You see, it’s the word
sanctuary that hooks ‘em. It sounds so
compassionate and so caring. It matters
not that foreigners here illegally can commit criminal acts with impunity and
then take refuge in those urban centers.
It matters not at all the mayhem and madness they inflict on American
citizens. It matters naught that these
towns and cities may be the home to Islamic terrorists bent on our destruction
and demise. After all, these young folks
have been taught – read that brainwashed – that the United States deserves
whatever it gets as payback for the way we have mistreated the rest of the
world. Anything bad or negative that
happens to us is, in their warped little minds, our own fault for it’s just a
question of reaping what we have sewn!
I’m willing to bet, for example, that every single terrorist who flew
those jetliners on 9-11 spent at least some time living in one of our so-called
sanctuary cities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Those
Americans who do object to the entire concept of sanctuary cities are
absolutely correct but their warnings and predictions fall for the most part on
deaf ears. They are either not taken
seriously or are viewed as paranoid members of some right wing conspiracy who
loathe and despise foreigners just for the Hell of it. They are viewed by those on the Far Left as
no more than Right Wing Nut Jobs and nationalistic xenophobes. In an atmosphere where globalism and
one-worldism constitute mainstays of Leftist ideology, those of us who consider
ourselves first and foremost proud Americans are viewed as out of touch
throwbacks – dinosaurs – who have outlived any relevance or usefulness we may
once have had. Nationalism and
patriotism for these traitorous Bastards are merely anachronistic terms that
simply have no place in 21<sup>st</sup> Century America. To those on the Far Left, we are ever-so
embarrassing and utterly unsophisticated.
We are Tea-Partiers who stubbornly, unreasonably, and obstinately cling
to our Bibles and guns. We are the NRA
and must, therefore, be silenced if not destroyed outright. According to the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite),
we are focused on the past rather than on the glorious future of
socialism-authoritarianism where an all-encompassing, all-powerful central
government controls every aspect of life in America from cradle to grave. To object to such things as sanctuary cities
ignores the current state of the nation and the world. To view illegal immigrants as no more than
foreign invaders who must be repelled is mere folly given the fact that
according to the Liberal Scum amongst us we are all now citizens of the
world. The notion of national
sovereignty, secure borders, and the rule of law must give way to more
sophisticated concepts like global governance and internationalism. Organizations like the United Nations and the
World Court must supersede silly, parochial, and outdated concepts as
patriotism, nationalism, and American Exceptionalism. It’s sickening, it’s disgusting, and it’s
dangerous for America and its future.
Yet this is where we are in the year 2015. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There are
still those of us out here, however, who object to what has been purposely
perpetrated on this nation that we love and who will not and cannot be silenced
by such Fascist ideologies as Political Correctness. An article entitled, “Judge Jeanine Skewers
Sanctuary Cities: Don’t Dare Demand Lawless Zones in America (</span><a href="http://bizpacreview.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://bizpacreview.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is illustrative in this regard. Judge
Jeanine Pirro insists that, “the concept sanctuary cities is wrong and
fundamentally flawed.” The jurist
lambasted what, “she called politically correct nonsense and asked what is
correct about allowing a career criminal, who should not be here in the first
place, to walk the streets?” That seems
to be a straight forward, common sense question with extremely obvious
answers. The judge recounted the Steinle
case and noted that the killer, “was let go by San Francisco authorities in
April when federal immigration officers asked for him to be handed over.” Sounds like obstruction of justice to
me. Sounds like aiding and abetting as
well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> She also
correctly intoned that, “Sanctuary cities are safe houses for criminal aliens,
not their innocent victims,” and explained that while Americans are certainly
generous she also warned, “don’t you dare ask us to create a zone of
lawlessness and ignore the murder of innocent victims so some illegal criminal
won’t have to go home.” Judge Pirro
also, “put the blame squarely on the Obama administration, mocking White House
efforts to blame Republicans for the illegal alien problem.” She further insisted that, “Obama is forcing
his own sanctuary policy,” on the rest of the country. Can we all say Executive Amnesty? She continued that the, “Department of
Homeland Security reportedly instructed that California criminal illegals be
transferred to San Diego and Riverside Counties.” Why there you may ask? Because they are just chocked full of
sanctuary cities. Pirro also explained
that in 2010, the Obama administration promised that cities that didn’t enforce
federal immigration laws would not be punished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Did you
catch that? That’s becoming one of
Obama’s trademarks – enforcing or not enforcing the law as he sees fit. Selective law enforcement is not something
that will be found in any of our founding documents nor will it be found in any
penal code in the country. As Chief
Executive, the Charlatan – in – Chief is duty bound to enforce ALL federal
laws. He is not permitted to arbitrarily
enforce or not enforce the law at his whim in order to gain political
advantage. But what the FUCK, it’s Obama
and it’s obvious that he doesn’t want to govern. Instead, he wants to rule. This is absolutely anathema to maintaining an
orderly and lawful civil society and is something we normally associate with
Third World Shithole Banana Republics ruled by tin-horn, power-crazed despots
and dictators. If the Bamster deems
sanctuary cities acceptable, then so be it.
If El Destructo deems that amnesty shall be, then so shall it be. It doesn’t matter that most of the nation
finds the entire notion of sanctuary cities to be abhorrent, wrong-headed, and
destructive. If the Wannabe-Tyrant wants
it then as he said, he’s got a pen and a phone.
Fuck the American people and what they deem to be necessary and
proper. Fuck those pesky, irksome
members of Congress, and most of all, FUCK our Constitution, our Bill of
Rights, and our proud heritage as a constitutional representative republic!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Let us
never forget that while the entire concept of Sanctuary Cities has dire effects
for this country on the national level, perhaps even more significantly it
destroys real, live American citizens and real, live American families. We must never forget the American lives that
are needlessly and callously destroyed because of wrong-headed and traitorous
policies emanating from Washington, DC.
The real life consequences of allowing sanctuary cities to exist are
horrific and gut-wrenching for individuals and families who have had absolutely
nothing to say about their creation and continued existence. A piece entitled, “Mother of Son Murdered by
Illegal Alien Slams Sanctuary Cities, Politicians: Your Silence Speaks Volumes
(</span><a href="http://www.breitbart.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.breitbart.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
speaks poignantly and eloquently to this issue.
The article notes that at, “a Tuesday Senate hearing dedicated to the
families who have lost loved ones thanks to illegal aliens,” Laura Wilkerson
spoke about her son’s death at the hands of an illegal invader. The grieving mother, “called on Congress to
place American lives and interests over foreigners, especially those illegally
living in the country.” Hey, now there’s
a novel – even radical – concept: placing America and Americans first!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
article notes that, “Unlike most Western countries in which all foreign
nationals illegally residing in the country are subject to immigration laws, in
the United States the left has effectively carved out a sector of the illegal
immigrant population – illegal minors – who are exempt from immigration
law.” Got that? Exempt from our
immigration laws. The slain boy’s mom
went on to describe her son’s brutal death which must have been utterly
agonizing based on her horrific and heart-rending description. She went on to say that this, “was our
family’s 9/11 attack by a foreign invader, whether you want to recognize it or
whether you do not.” She continued that,
“This government continues to fail or even recognize that we have an
issue. Americans are dying daily at the
hands of criminals that we don’t even know are here.” The bereft mom proclaimed that, “You’re
officially notified today that there’s a problem when this happens. You can’t deny it any longer. You cannot stand by and ignore our families –
our American families. You’re elected by
Americans, not any other country. You
should be for Americans. Your silence
speaks volumes. You’re for Americans, or
you’re not.” Those politicians who don’t
fight the entire concept and reality of sanctuary cities are complicit in the
murder of Mrs. Wilkerson’s son Joshua just as they are complicit in aiding and
abetting those who would destroy our country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Mrs.
Wilkerson emphasized that all Americans suffer an unspeakable loss when an
immigrant murders one of our own. She
explained that another of her sons returned from the battlefield fighting to
defend this country, “only to find no one was defending his younger brother,”
at home. Can you possibly imagine the
pain that family is going through? I
can’t. She noted that her son Joshua,
“mentioned going into the Air Force like his older brother, who was out
defending this country – Americans – and we had to bring him home to bury his
little brother, when he wasn’t being defended right here at home.” She also maintained that illegals do not live
in the shadows but boldly break our laws and then demand taxpayer
freebies. She correctly added that,
“They’re not scared to come here. We’re
inviting them. Sanctuary cities say,
‘come on down’. Sympathy has never
trumped the law in this country.
Ever. Every one of them here
threatens national security because we don’t know who they are. They make a decision to come here.” Furthermore, “They’re not scared, and they’re
invited by sanctuary city policies.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
heart-broken mom concluded that, “I want you to know that our family is broken,
forever. We are forever broken. I don’t want your sympathy. I want you to do something about it. Every one of you sitting here is in a
position to do something. Just throw
your hat into the ring for Americans.
Quit sitting silent because it’s going to help you get a vote. Throw your hat in the ring and take care of
American families.” Now there’s a novel
thought – American politicians taking care of American families. You think it’s gonna happen? Yeah, me neither.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

phrase by now. We’ve all seen the crowds
chanting, yelling, and screaming at the top of their frenzied lungs. The phrase reverberates and echoes in the
squares, plazas, and streets of far too many third-world shithole nations,
especially in the Middle East. The mobs
are whipped into a state of utter, mindless hysteria as their pathetic,
sorry-ass excuses for leaders excoriate them to ever increased levels of
vitriolic hate and malfeasance. They
stomp on the American flag, burn our Presidents in effigy (not that I would
mind all that much if these idiots burned a likeness of our current White House
occupant), and constantly refer to us as The Great Satan. They never seem to tire of screaming, “Death
to America – Death to America”, while brandishing signs and posters exclaiming
the same fervent wish. This is, of
course, an old and tried tactic of most tyrants who hold the reins of power in
so many desperately poor, illiterate, disease infested, and utterly hopeless
countries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

there is to have while the lives of their countrymen are destined to be at best
brutish, nasty, and short (to borrow a phrase).
The leaders absolutely require a scapegoat in order to deflect the blame
for the horrendous socio-economic plight that the average citizen must endure
throughout their entire lives with the full knowledge that their children and
grandchildren are destined to suffer the exact same fate. These are desperate people devoid of all hope
and people without hope, with no way out, can become extremely dangerous. Unless distracted, they will eventually blame
and turn on their own leadership with bloody and brutal savagery. This is the way revolutions happen and,
unfortunately, it is far too often and in too many places the only way to
effect change. Leadership, then, needs
to create distractions, bogeymen, to turn the mob’s attention outward rather
than inward. External enemies must be
fabricated before the dissatisfied, angry, and hopeless populace looks inward
and vents its wrath and frustration on their own leadership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The United States is the obvious choice in
this regard. If anyone is going to be
singled out and targeted it’s going to be us.
We are the world’s BIG DOG and no one else is even a close second. We are far and away the world’s wealthiest
and most powerful nation and that in itself causes untold measures of jealousy,
envy, anger, and hatred (although the Far Left in America is doing its dandiest
to bring us to our knees and in their sick, twisted mindset to level the
playing field). If any two-bit,
tin-horn, puissant of a dictator needs to create a scapegoat well, Hell, we’re
a perfect fit! Your nation is
horrendously poor? BLAME AMERICA! Your country’s people are starving to death? BLAME AMERICA! Your country is ravaged by disease and your
population is illiterate? BLAME
AMMERICA! Your nation is torn by civil
war and strife? BLAME AMERICA! Your nation is wiped out by a tsunami? BLAME AMERICA! The Twin Towers came crashing down on
9-11? BLAME AMERICA (God knows the
Liberals in our midst certainly do)! Scapegoating
is and has been effectively used as a tactic throughout world history and
serves to distract from the real causes of whatever problems exist in a given
nation. This helps to perpetuate the
existing power structure and insulates them from any blame or
responsibility. The ancient Romans
blamed the Christians while the Nazis blamed the Jews and in both instances the
tactic worked brilliantly. In our own
country today, “leaders” like Sharpton and Jackson blame “Whitey” for all the
problems confronting their race and when the expected and inevitable rioting,
looting, and burning takes place it’s because, once again, America is
racist. It’s always so much easier to
blame the other guy so that we never have to own up to our own shortcomings and
failures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are currently plagued with a President who agrees with our detractors
and who has aided and abetted them at every opportunity. Our very own Basher – in –Chief is famous for
his “Apologize for America Tours” and he seems to do exactly that every time he
sets foot on foreign soil. He is
absolutely and utterly ashamed of our nation as historically founded and
presently constituted and I’m sure we all remember his solemn vow to
fundamentally transform the United States.

the Bill of Rights, as an impediment to implementing an all-powerful and ever
more intrusive Federal centralized government that will control every and all
aspects of the lives of the American citizen.
Once he is done, there will literally no aspect of our lives that will
not be controlled from Washington, DC.
He is exactly like the despots of those nations that call for our demise

Remember a place called Benghazi that made the news not all that long

citizens were dragged out of our embassy and murdered. The mob had the temerity to invade American
soil, defy our sovereignty, and literally spit in our collective faces! You think this would ever have happened under
Reagan’s watch? Not a fucking chance in
Hell! The dictators and tyrants of the
world can smell weakness like a pack of crazed hyenas can sniff out a wounded
wildebeast. Oh and by the way, you may

rescue our beleaguered embassy and Ambassador but were ordered by our
Coward-in-Chief to stand down! Talk

so! To this day, not one damned thing

how to handle the situation and his weakness and cowardice only served to
prolong the suffering of our citizens caught up in the events of the day. Just as an aside, by the way, the moment
Ronald Reagan was sworn into office our fellow Americans were released and sent
home. Old Ronaldus Maxinus was not about
to take any shit from a two-bit, tin-horn theocracy ruled by religious nuts and
fanatics. The Iranians damned well knew that and were more than willing to
“cooperate” with the new American President.

years, as well as a galloping nuclear arms race among other countries in the
Middle East.” I absolutely disagree with
the estimate of ten years and so does the author who states that given, “Iran’s
tendency to enrich uranium in secret, that time may well be before ten
years.” Iran, by the way, is also
working on building longer range ICBM’s that will be more than capable of

Netanyahu’s mission of telling Congress what these negotiations could result in

concern for the danger in which Iranian nuclear bombs will place Israel, the
Middle East, Europe, and even the United States.” This is also true of all hard-core Far Left

Iran uses negotiation in exactly the same way Nazi Germany did just

that, “Unfortunately, a nuclear-armed Iran is something Obama and his
supporters apparently intend to make a reality.” Now there’s a comforting thought!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There is absolutely no earthly reason why
anyone who claims to love and care about the United States would allow an enemy
to acquire nuclear weapons. Iran has
assured us countless times that it intends to destroy us, our way of life, and
our freedom. We must take that threat
seriously and be prepared to defend against it.
Obama and the entire LFE are not going to do that and the proof, as they
say, is in the pudding. Are you aware
that Fox News recently reported that the Obama Administration is going to
provide Iran with our most sophisticated and hi-tech reactor technology? Didn’t know that, did you? I’m quite sure our Supreme Leader extracted a
promise from Iran that it will only use these reactors for peaceful purposes
and I’m equally positive that the Booby-in-Chief believes it. After all, who would dare to lie to our very
own Messiah? Certainly not the Iranian
leadership – they would never lie to the Great Satan!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There is no way on earth that anyone who
claims to love this country would actively and purposely provide an enemy with
the means to destroy us. But I forget. Obama does not love America. He doesn’t even like America. I’ve never even heard him say one good thing
about our nation and I’ve gone out of my way to find examples that would
contradict this statement. I’ve read,
unfortunately, his speeches and his books and if you think that wasn’t excruciatingly
painful, you’d better think again.
Nowhere can I find any evidence that he loves the United States or that
he would do all in his power to protect us from harm. Those that got him twice elected also feel
the way Obama does about our country.
Obama and his “peeps” stand against the United States and are not at all
shy about voicing their opinions. I’m
positive that when Iranian mobs scream Death to America, they nod their heads
in agreement. I truly never thought I’d
say these kinds of things about an American President and those that voted him
into office. It both saddens and angers
me to have to come to this conclusion and say it out loud in front of God and
everybody. No other conclusion, however,
can be reached unless you are a Far Left Liberal Lunatic or an Obama
free-loader looking to milk the system for everything you can get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism in the world. Then again, it was just a week ago Director
of National Intelligence, James Clapper, dropped Iran and Hezbollah from the

process began, The United States was making concessions. Negotiations can only succeed when one
bargains from a position of strength.
Immediately caving in to unreasonable demands – demands that run counter
to our own best interests – is obviously not a position of strength but instead
is further evidence of Obama’s weakness in the face of an enemy who has sworn
to destroy us. The Mullahs and
Ayatollahs in that part of the world despise weakness and to them it is
anathema. From the get go, then, they
already have the upper hand. That and
the fact that they have absolutely no intention of living up to the terms of
any agreement reached at the table, makes these “negotiations” nothing more
than a farce and a sick joke. It is strictly
a bad PR move on the part of the administration to appear that it is doing
something both effective and proactive.
It is nothing more than histrionics designed for home consumption with
absolutely no chance of achieving anything substantive. This should hardly come as a surprise because
the Far Left has always valued symbolism over substance and the truth will
always be a casualty in their Machavelian playbook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

oppose the nuclear deal with Iran.”
Colonel West quotes our Appeaser-in-Chief who said, “there are people in
both our countries and beyond, who oppose a diplomatic resolution. My message to you –the people of Iran – is
that together, we have to speak up for the future we seek.” Unfortunately, that future completely throws
America’s national interest under the bus because the Iranians as well as our
own sorry-ass excuse for an American President wants to see a nuclear armed
Iran. He wants to provide our enemies
with exactly what they seek: the ability
to destroy us. I can think of no sorrier
state of affairs than an American President actively aiding and abetting an
enemy whose most ardent and fervent desire is to see us dead and our nation in
ruins. I believe we used to call that
treason but now it is called Liberalism and there is really is no difference!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piece goes on to inform us that according to Obama, “Iran’s Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Khamenei has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear
weapons, and President Rouhani has said that Iran would never develop a nuclear
weapon.” This is pure crap – an outright lie.
No such fatwa has ever been issued and there exists no evidence to
support such a claim. Our very own
Supreme Leader Wannabe has brazenly and unabashedly lied to us – once
again. Do we all remember his solemn
pledge that, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” and if you
like your health insurance you can keep that too? Those were also lies and the
Dissembler-in-Chief knew that even before the promises were ever
articulated. The man is not capable of

him. Shame on them for their complete

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The way I
see it, as a nation we’re pretty much FUCKED!!
The proverbial handwriting is on the wall but the language is not
English – it’s Spanish! Alrighty then,
I’d better get ready to duck because the shit that’s about to be thrown at me
will be unavoidable, overwhelming, scurrilous, and utterly false. They’ll scream that I’m a racist and a
xenophobe. They’ll literally foam at the
mouth in their rabid denunciation of me for representing the worst about the
American national character and culture and they’ll rant and rave at me for not
being inclusive. I’ll be severely
chastised, reprimanded, and raked over the coals for daring to sound even
remotely or slightly critical of our immigration policies (so-called) that are
purposely and thoroughly destroying the United States of America as
historically founded and presently constituted.
Yeah, the Liberal Pukes out there will be all over me for this and I
really haven’t even said anything yet.
That, however, matters not a whit to these Anti-America Sons A
Bitches! Even the slightest hint or
perceived negativity concerning the immigration debacle faced by our country is
guaranteed to unleash the dreaded Liberal vitriol against anyone who dares to
oppose – out loud in front of God and everybody - the
purposeful and malignant flooding of this country with people who absolutely
don’t belong here, shouldn’t be here, and couldn’t give a Flying Fuck about the
United States!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Yeah, yeah, I know. They’ll tell me that this country was founded
and built by immigrants – by people who risked it all, came here with nothing,
and built the greatest nation the world has ever seen. No nation on the planet can come even close
to matching the magnificence of the United States in any category you choose to
analyze, dissect, or discuss. You’ll get
no argument from me on that score and I thank God every day that I was lucky
enough to be born here and that my grandparents chose to come here from Europe
to make better lives for themselves and their progeny. I am grateful that my children and
grandchildren had the good fortune to have been born in this country and are
thus able to take advantage of the amazing opportunities this country provides
for those willing to work hard and succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Like no other place on the planet, this
place can indeed be all things to all people regardless of national origin,
ethnicity, class, or caste. In this
country like no other place in world history, the only limitations placed on
individual success and achievement are almost always self-imposed. In this place, again like no other, no matter
where you came from, no matter your country of birth, you can become a true,
full-blown, bone fide American. This, by
the way, is not the case virtually anywhere else in the world. Try emigrating, for example, to England,
Germany, or France. You could live in
those places for literally generations and become citizens. You could marry, raise a family, own a
business, and develop a wide circle of friends and acquaintances but you’ll
always be considered the “Yank” who lives down the block or across town. You’ll always be the American and because of
that you’ll never really fit in or mesh with citizens from your adopted
country. You could indeed be the very
embodiment of the proverbial Hail Fellow Well Met and the very Salt of the
Earth but you’ll forever remain that guy from somewhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> You see, in most other countries
citizenship is viewed as something special, as something to be jealously
guarded and preserved for those deemed worthy of the privilege. It is not something to be taken lightly or
merely handed out like so many pieces of candy on Halloween! Citizenship is considered an honor and places
the citizen a cut above those who can’t claim that coveted and cherished
status. It is something to be proud
of. Think, perhaps, of ancient Greece or
Rome. To be a full-fledged citizen of
those long-gone civilizations meant you were indeed someone special and that
you belonged to something special. It
set you apart from and, yes, above those non-citizens who lived among you and
this was deemed both normal and natural.
With citizenship came certain privileges and perks that others did not
and could not possess. Additionally,
with citizenship came certain duties and obligations that you owed to the
nation as well as your fellow citizens.
You want to gain some insight – some comprehension – of just how
important and special citizenship was all those years ago? Think of Socrates and the choice he made
between banishment from his beloved Athens and death. How many in America today feel about this
country as did Socrates feel about his?
Yeah, that’s what I thought too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> American citizenship today and, in fact,
for many decades is not regarded as anything particularly special, admirable,
or something to be coveted, protected, and preserved. To be a proud American citizen is considered
– especially by those on the Far Left – no more than a quaint, out dated, and
old fashioned expression of patriotism if not outright jingoism that really has
no place in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century.
To be proud of our citizenship and heritage is seen today as dangerously
hubristic, ridiculously nationalistic, and callously insensitive to the
feelings and sensibilities of others from different parts of the globe. To be even slightly nationalistic goes
against the long-standing Liberal passion that forever emphasizes and extols
such concepts as globalism, one-worldism, and multiculturalism. In some parts of our nation, to fly the flag,
to publicly and proudly display our nation’s colors is to invite scorn,
ridicule, and perhaps even the destruction of your private property. To be a proud American flies in the face of
the Liberal dogma and orthodoxy that all cultures and countries are equal and
each has something to offer. To place
one above another is seen as divisive in the extreme and displays an
unwillingness to succumb to those who constantly and continually bash and lash
out at the United States and claim that we are in fact the cause of all the
world’s woes and ills. Most prominent
among them, by the way, is our very own anti-America American President who
routinely denies the concept of American Exceptionalism every damned chance he
gets. You know, the same anti-America
piece of shit who regularly and predictably apologizes for America every time
he travels abroad!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> In my view, this sea change, this
denigration and cheapening of the entire concept of American citizenship is a
direct result of the ascendancy of Far Left Liberalism which can easily be
traced back to the 1960’s for that is when the concept and phenomenon of the
anti-America American really began to take hold. This is especially true regarding our
educational system from kindergarten right up through college and
university. Our young ‘uns are fed a
steady, unrelenting diet of this bilge and by the time they graduate from
virtually any of our institutions of higher learning they have been so
thoroughly brainwashed and duped by the Liberal Scum Dogs who control education
in this country that they have no choice but to at the very least hold our
nation in the utmost of contempt. It is
this attitude and philosophy that has in large part caused the immigration disaster
that our country now struggles with and if not corrected in one Hell of a
damned hurry will overwhelm and destroy us as a cohesive nation and culture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Immigration, of course, has been a part of
our national heritage and psyche since even before our founding. Immigrants have always come here and for the
most part have been warmly welcomed. The
difference between now and then lies in the quantity and quality of the
immigrants who want to come to America and reside here permanently. The difference between immigration now and
then lies in the reasons why so many clamor to come here and remain here. Immigration to the United States has always
been attractive to those who wanted to better themselves economically. The opportunities for economic advancement
were and remain far better here than any other place on the planet. This is not open to debate or interpretation
but rather is an undeniable fact. The
economic motive, then, for coming to this country is a constant. A central difference between immigration then
and now, however, is that those who used to come here knew they could succeed
beyond their wildest dreams and expectations if they were willing to work their
immigrant asses off from dawn to dusk
and beyond! Indeed, they expected
nothing but the opportunity to do just that.
They asked for and certainly demanded no special treatment or privileges
and no extraordinary status. All they
wanted was the chance to succeed and they’d take care of the rest on their own. And you know what? For the most part they did exactly that. They got no help from the government and they
certainly expected nothing in the way of “welfare”, entitlements if you will,
for welfare did not exist. The concept
of something for nothing was simply not part of the equation for success in
their minds or experience. The formula
was simplicity itself: hard work equaled
success. If the immigrant adhered to the
formula, success would follow. Most
immigrants did, in fact, begin to move up the socio-economic ladder. Their children and grandchildren followed suit
and did so by dint of hard work, education, and an unalterable, unshakeable
faith in the promise of the United States of America.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This is no longer the case. For decades it seems the new immigrant has
displayed no particular desire to assimilate and become an American, let alone
an American citizen. These folks don’t
view America as any place special or exceptional and far too often they come
here as free-loaders Hell-bent on acquiring all the goodies they can get their
foreign-born mitts on. There is no
thought of loyalty or allegiance to their new nation and there certainly does
not appear to be a sense of appreciation, gratitude, or thanks for the fact
that they had the incredible good fortune to show up here. Unlike the immigrant of yore, in far too many
instances they arrive on our shores with a predictable “gimme” attitude. Upon walking down the gangplank or stepping
onto the tarmac, their hands are out and they expect to be given “stuff” as
though it is somehow their right. The
idea that foreigners have any rights at all is utterly ludicrous, outlandish,
and bizarre. The concept that they are
entitled to anything is horribly grotesque!
To even hint at the idea that these newcomers should have to prove that
they deserve to be here will get you called all kinds of nasty expletives and
might even lead to violent confrontations depending on whom you are speaking
to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The fact is, our immigration “policy” no
longer serves the needs of our nation but is in many ways inimical or
antithetical to our national interests.
Immigration, it seems, is no longer geared toward benefitting America
but is focused on benefitting the immigrant and from a policy stand point that
is simply wrong. While it is true that
immigrants have always benefitted from coming here that was never the point of
immigration. Rather the central idea and
ideal must be that first and foremost, our immigration policies must benefit
the United States and any benefit accruing to the individual immigrant or
immigrant group was at best secondary or tangential to the overall purpose of
allowing newcomers the exquisite privilege of settling here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This all changed with the passage of the
Immigration Act of 1965 championed by that fat drunk from Massachusetts, Ted
Kennedy. Prior to 1965, the vast
majority of immigrants hailed from Western Europe which meant that those
immigrants shared a huge bond with the United States even before they arrived
here. We shared the same culture, namely
Western Civilization. Save for the
language barrier, the immigrant was of our culture and background and believed,
broadly speaking, in similar values, standards, and mores as did the vast
majority of Americans. Assimilation,
then, was relatively easy, natural, and expected. Certainly, the new immigrant had to learn to
become an American but because of cultural similarities this was not overly
burdensome or difficult. Once the language barrier had been broken, it was a
relatively painless and natural process.
This changed radically with the Immigration Act of 1965. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> With that horribly anti-American piece of
legislation, the entire tenor and tone of immigration to the U.S. changed. After 1965 and ever since, a mere 15% of our
nation’s newcomers were permitted to come here from Western Europe. A full 85% of them, then, came from places
around the globe that had absolutely nothing in common with Western
Civilization, culture, and heritage.
This made assimilation far more difficult than it had ever been and for
the first time in our history we began to take in more and more folks who had
no desire to become Americans. Rather,
they chose to replicate their own cultures, norms, and ways of life on our
shores thus initiating what Samuel Huntington so aptly dubbed the Clash of
Civilizations right here on our own turf.
This culture war has literally become a central feature of American life
ever since the Liberal Elite in our country turned its back on our own culture,
heritage, and traditions. This culture
war has been raging all around us for decades and, unfortunately, America seems
to be losing ground at an alarming rate!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> There exists, for example, close to my
home a very large park and there are days when you can walk in any direction
and not here a word of English! The same
park contains numerous baseball fields complete with bleachers and yet our
national past time seems to be played less and less while sports like soccer,
cricket, and bacci appear to be on the rise.
There are entire neighborhoods in New York City where English is simply
not the first or even second language and where street and traffic signs cannot
be read by a native-born American. In
New York City high schools, the Regents examinations can be taken in at least
seven languages other than English including, I believe, Urdu. Urdu?
Throughout this country, our schools preach something called ESL –
English as a Second Language. English as
a second language? You’ve got to be
fucking kidding me!! We are quickly
giving away our nation and our birthright in the name of one of the most
dangerous and insidious philosophies ever faced by this country –
Multiculturalism! Multiculturalism is
both destructive and divisive for it emphasizes above all else the differences
that exist between and among us as a population rather than celebrating that
which unites us and brings us together as Americans. Without a sense of national cohesiveness,
unity, and purpose no nation can long survive intact and will eventually lead
to the Balkanization of this greatest of all nations! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

more changed and that our immigration policies should once again be used to
strengthen America rather than weaken it and bring it down. For far too many decades, the uniqueness and
exceptional nature of the American experience and example have been trampled
underfoot by the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) among us who desire nothing less
than the destruction of the United States and all it stands for and
represents. Those mealy-mouthed
anti-America Sons-A-Bitches believe that we do not deserve our status as the
world’s lone super power or the planet’s wealthiest, most powerful, and most
generous country in planetary history.
Immigration, on balance, is no longer a national asset and seems to harm
us far more than it helps or strengthens us.
Our immigration policies, such as they are, no longer serve the national
interest but instead seem purposely geared and directed toward diluting if not
entirely destroying the single most successful national entity ever experienced
in the history of the globe. As a
country, we have done more to uplift mankind, provide for those who are not as
fortunate as us, and protect the world from the forces of oppression that have
regularly and brutally plagued mankind.
We will no longer be able to do these things – and more – if our
immigration policies continue to weaken us, divide us, and destroy our will as
a people and a nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

immigration policies have achieved. We
are no longer a cohesive, proud nation held together by bonds of borders,
language, and culture. Instead, our
immigration policies have served to splinter us, tear us asunder, and rip us
apart. This is but one more page in the Liberal Playbook to purposely weaken
our nation and bring us down to the level of some third-world, impoverished,
and socially divided shithole of a country where class and caste are forever
pitted against one another and view each other as permanent and mortal
foes. The Liberal Scum amongst us
delight in spreading the seeds of distrust and enmity while fostering and
furthering as much national discord and divisiveness as they can.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

perfunctorily into just how inimical and antithetical to American interests our
immigration policies have become just take a quick look into the current
insanity of allowing non-citizens and illegals to vote in American
elections. Yeah, you read that
right. The Liberals, the Far Left
Lunatics, among us have been unapologetic champions of this “movement” for
years. Think about that for a moment if
you will. There exists in our nation a
sizable group of American citizens who favor allowing non-citizens – folks who
are not Americans – to participate in the electoral process and help decide the
fate of our nation. Anyone who concurs
with such idiocy cannot, in my humble opinion, be mistaken for someone who
loves this country and wants to see its continued progress and prosperity. Anyone who believes in allowing non-citizens
the right and privilege of partaking in the sacred duty of choosing our elected
leaders and deciding national policy and priorities can aptly and accurately be
termed a traitor! Yup, I said it. If you are one of them, then you’re sure as
shit not one of us! It’s really that
simple and basic. Most folks I know are
absolutely appalled at such a prospect and simply can’t fathom the fact that
there exist among us people who would be more than happy should this become the
case. For the most part, these are the
Far Left Liberals among us who have for decades exhibited nothing but contempt,
scorn, and even hatred for the United States of America. The nation that gave them everything they
have – including liberty and freedom – is the very nation they continually spit
upon and wish to bring down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that, “President Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty will make it easier for
illegal immigrants to improperly register to vote. . . .” This is absolutely correct and it’s part of a
long-standing Liberal-Democrat strategy of increasing their voting base. In order to succeed, the Liberal Saboteurs

Liberal-Democrats will have succeeded in their goal of fundamentally
transforming our country into something it was never intended to be. It will become just one more nation where
government reigns supreme and omnipotent while liberty and individual freedom
will have become but vague, misty memories of days long gone. It’s coming folks, of this there can be no

the adverse effects of our current open border policy and the relentless effort

wages. You’re gonna put further pressure
on the job market. You’re gonna
marginalize native-born Americans. It’s
gonna cause utter chaos. It’s gonna put
more pressure on the welfare system, the welfare state. There’s nothing to recommend it other than
cheap labor.” The “talker” goes on to
point out the real and utterly nefarious reason behind the effort to grant the
right to vote to those who absolutely shouldn’t have it. He explains that, “the real reason Obama’s
gonna do it is to make the Democrat Party a permanent, I mean permanent,
forever majority. That’s the reason he’s
going to do it.” Furthermore, Limbaugh
is, “convinced the Democrat Party doesn’t really care what kind of a country it
is, as long as they run it. Because as
long as they run it, it will be a welfare state. And the bigger the welfare state, the better
for them, because that means that more people can do nothing but vote for them
in order to live, in order to exist.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I do not qualify to receive the much coveted tax refund that so many of my
fellow citizens look forward to.
Instead, I must pony up my share.
Most folks seemingly do not get the idea, cannot grasp the fact, that if
you receive a “refund” all it means is that you’ve over paid the government for
the previous twelve months and you’re simply getting back a mere portion of
that over payment. The IRS, the most effective

Internal Revenue Service is actually sending out “refunds” to illegal aliens
who didn’t even pay taxes! What the FUCK

stab in the back that Liberals are inflicting on hard-working, tax-paying
Americans! It constitutes but one more
way that Liberals are cementing the loyalty and the vote of immigrants – legal

entitled, “IRS to pay back-refunds to illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes (</span><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">www.washingtontimes.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
informs us that, “IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress . . . that even

they get Social Security numbers under President Obama’s temporary deportation
amnesty.” Yeah, go ahead and read that
one again. The American citizen can’t
catch a Fucking break while the Bamster’s running the show but the
Prick-in-Chief never met an illegal he didn’t like! Additionally, the same gentleman, “clarified
his testimony to the Senate last week where he acknowledged that illegal
immigrants who had paid taxes using substitute Social Security numbers but who
gain real Social Security numbers when they are approved for the amnesty can
apply for back-refunds of the Earned Income Tax Credit.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

But wait, it gets better. The
article explains that, “even illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes will be
able to apply for back-credits once they get Social Security numbers,” and that
the, “EITC is a refundable tax credit, which means those who don’t have any tax
liability can still get money back from the government.” Holy Shit – what a great country! And what’s this crap about getting money back
from the government? The government my

voting rights after a five-year wait.”
Does that seem all that unreasonable?
You come here LEGALLY. You live
here, work here, and pay taxes here. You
learn fluency in English. Five years
later you apply for citizenship, pass the test and VOILLA, you’re a genuine,
bone fide legal voter able to participate fully in the electoral process and
the American experience. Our system
fully and graciously accommodates all those who arrive here from other places
as long as they do it legally and play by the rules. The same piece accurately notes that to, “be
a voter is to signify that you have cleared certain hurdles and that you
understand what it means to be an American, with responsibilities as well as
rights.” Indeed, “allowing noncitizens
to vote renders the idea of citizenship meaningless.” This is exactly and precisely how the Far
Left in our country thinks and what they so ardently desire. To effectively render U.S. citizenship as
meaningless constitutes one of their long-held cherished goals and dreams. What better way to bring a country to its

again that we’ve got plenty of immigration laws already on the books and all we
need to do is enforce them and our pesky immigration problems will be solved. Simple enough, but the fact is that these laws,
rules, and regulations are not being enforced and that renders them
meaningless. The powers that be, both
Democrat and Republican, do not want them enforced regardless of what most
American demand and desire. As

resume the practice of screening prospective newcomers for communicable
diseases. This used to be the case and
it went a long way toward protecting us from devastating illnesses that
threaten the health and well-being of the nation. These immigration centers will also be useful

out. It would also greatly facilitate
the act of assimilation which has pretty much lost any meaning or importance it
once had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

#5: The immigrant must not become a
drain on this country or its citizens.
There will be no welfare, no food stamps or “freebies” of any kind for
prospective immigrants. The only promise
made to the new arrival is that of opportunity.
They will have the opportunity to work, achieve, and succeed but that’s
all they’re getting and they are entitled to absolutely nothing else! We must go back to a time when the immigrant
expected nothing but opportunity and dared not demand anything!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

#6: The new immigrant must post a bond
of $250,000.00 before coming to the United States. This will go a long way toward making sure
that these folks don’t become a drain on the American taxpayers or the
communities in which they settle. Yeah,
yeah, I know. Dear Old Emma proclaimed
the U.S. a haven for the world’s poor, tired, and huddled masses. Sorry, but those days are long gone. We’ve already got far too many of our own
poor, tired, and huddled and the last thing we need is any more of the world’s
wretched refuse to set their sights on the United States. Oh, and by the way Ms. Lazarus, your famous
statue will be turned around so that it faces inward, not outward! Let’s concentrate on those immigrants who are
already here and make sure they assimilate before welcoming others to our
shores.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of our laws that would be deemed a felony offense, they are immediately shipped

#8: The newcomer must understand that
this is an English-speaking nation and that English is the official language of
the United States. All official or
semi-official documents must be in English and English only! Are you aware that under certain
circumstances, those applying for U.S. citizenship can take the naturalization
test in languages other than English?!?
Does this make any sense at all?
The naturalization test must be given only in English and there can be
no exceptions. If you can’t take and
pass that test in the language of your new country, then you don’t deserve to
be here! Did you know that you can apply
for a driver’s license in languages other than English and that the same can be
done when filling out a job application?
This is insanity but given the feckless leadership we are currently
burdened with, it is not at all surprising.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

equivalent. Here they will be taught the
basics of American History, Civics, and Government. Here they will learn of the magnificent
contributions that their new adopted country has provided the rest of the

can invite foreign specialists and experts here to fill the void. If we are running a shortage of specialists
in any field we deem necessary for the advancement and prosperity of America
then qualified foreigners can be allowed in to make up for the short-fall. Immigration must be restructured to serve our
needs and national priorities.

we have at our disposal that allows us to remove undesirable foreigners from
our midst and it must be used liberally.
Would you even think twice about removing someone from your home who
absolutely didn’t belong there and shouldn’t be there? No, you wouldn’t. Well, America is our home and only those who
belong here should be permitted to stay here.
All others must leave voluntarily or be forced to leave. Non-citizen immigrants who violate our laws
must be removed. No excuses accepted and
no quarter given. If you don’t belong
here, then get the FUCK out of here! If
you don’t respect our laws, customs, and traditions then pack up your stuff and
return to whatever Third World Shithole from whence you came! It’s a very simple proposition. Come here the right way and do the right

with important points that I’ve neglected to mention, but you get the idea. We are losing control of our nation and our

It’s time that we as Americans stood up and said enough – stop it
now! We are in the midst of losing our
country – of giving it away! If this
immigration insanity isn’t stopped America will cease to exist as the country

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of
Rights created a ripple that not only set this nation apart from and above all
others at that time but continues to do so to this day. Our Founding Documents as they are properly
termed literally turned the world on its head and defied all previous governing
philosophies that had theretofore existed.
For the first time in recorded history, the theory of government changed
radically and literally caused tyrants to tremble. The Divine Right Theory of rule, hereditary
privilege, and rigid class structure all began to crumble with the birth of the
United States of America. This country
set forth the premise and promise that government was not, in fact, a top-down
proposition but rather emanated from the bottom up and the will of the people
reigned supreme. Those who governed were
accountable to those who elevated them to positions of power and
influence. They existed to do the
peoples’ work and the will of the governed far outweighed the will of those
whom the people chose to represent them.
For the very first time in world history, the power of government was
limited and there existed parameters beyond which it was forbidden to go. This amazingly radical concept of limiting
the power of government ran completely counter to any previous concept of the
relationship between those who govern and those who are governed. Power emanated not from the top but instead
filtered from the bottom up with and only with the consent of the
governed. Those who “ruled” did so only
at the pleasure of those who gave them permission to do so. Never before in planetary history did rulers
ever need permission to do anything. Not
until we came along.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Our Bill
of Rights is particularly important in this regard. It is probably the best example of political
theory actually being practically and pragmatically practiced as a meaningful
and relevant reality. These ten
amendments to our Constitution for the first time in the history of the world
imposed clear and unambiguous limits upon what the powerful could and could not
do to the rest of us. The Bill of Rights
completely altered and forever changed the age-old relationship that had
existed between and among the governed and those who did the governing. The boldness
and audacity of this brand new theory of governance was literally shocking at
the time and went completely against the totalitarian nature of every
government on the planet. It also
literally set thousands of years of world history on its head. No one, absolutely no one, told government
what it could not do. Imagine telling a
king, queen, czar, or emperor that he or she could not and must not cross certain
lines when it came to dealing with those who are ruled. This was simply unthinkable –
inconceivable. In fact, the same holds
true to this day. There are
approximately one hundred and ninety three nations in the world and only eighty
or so practice some form of democracy in which the governed have anything to
say about who will and will not do the governing and what those at the top can
and cannot do to those at the bottom. In
most of the world, there is no such thing as freedom, individual rights, and
liberty and the idea of limiting the power of government will at the very least
get you and your entire family brutalized, tortured, and killed. Freedom is indeed a rare and precious thing
and it began with us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The Bill
of Rights was written and included in the Constitution to accomplish two very
specific and radical purposes. The first
was to protect and guarantee the individual rights and freedoms that
constituted this country’s promise to our citizens as well as the rest of
humanity. The people who wrote those ten
amendments knew that man’s natural state was indeed the right to exist in a
condition of freedom and liberty and that the totalitarian mindset that had
governed mankind from ancient days to the present was indeed unnatural and
artificial and had only been perpetrated and sustained by threat, force, and
coercion. The second overall purpose of
the Bill of Rights, simply stated, was to limit the power of government. In other words, to minimize the damage that
all governments throughout history could wreak on a virtually powerless
population of everyday folks. This truly
defines the very essence of American Exceptionalism and has been a very
cornerstone of the American experience and existence. At the time, it set us completely and
radically apart from all other nations that had ever existed. In every political revolution since our own,
the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights were used as
precedent and justification for the act of rebellion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Just for
Shits & Giggles, let’s quickly run through the first ten amendments not so
much for the actual content of each but rather for the language employed. For those out there who don’t actually know
the content of each – AND YOU SHOULD – they are readily available and eminently
unambiguous and comprehensible.
Amendment One is particularly relevant here for it begins by stating
that, “Congress shall make no law. . . .”
Got that? Congress, the
government, can’t do it. No way, no how.
Simple enough? Amendment Two
quite simply states in part that, “the right of the people . . . shall not be
infringed.” The Third Amendment which
refers to the quartering of troops in private domiciles forbids this practice
without, “the consent of the owner,” while Amendment Four clearly states that
the, “right of the people . . . shall not be violated.” Amendment Five, one of the lengthier ones,
warns that no person shall be, “deprived of life, liberty, or property without
due process of law.” In other words, the
government can’t kill you, imprison you, or take what’s yours without strictly
following very specifically prescribed rules and regulations. The Sixth Amendment deals with the rights of
the accused in criminal cases and notes that, “the accused shall enjoy the
right. . . .” Never before in the
history of the world had those accused of any wrong doing against the state
enjoyed any rights whatsoever because rights simply did not exist! Amendment Seven, in similar vein for civil
cases, insists that, “the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.” Amendment Eight prohibited the government
from imposing excessive bail or fines but more importantly forbade the
government from inflicting any cruel or unusual punishments. Now that could really screw up a tyrant’s
day! Amendment Nine simply and
unequivocally insists that the people have more rights than are enumerated in
the Constitution and merely because such a right is not stated doesn’t mean
that it doesn’t exist. Amendment Ten was
a serious kick in the ass for anyone who aspired to the status of dictator or
absolute ruler. It maintained that any
right not expressly delegated to the government of the United States, “nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the states respectively, or to
the people.” What does that mean, you
ask? Simple, really. The federal government shall never have any more
power than was granted to it by the Founders and spelled out in our
Constitution. Never! Talk about limiting the power of government
and protecting the rights of the people – well, I guess!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The Bill
of Rights, then, is fundamental to our existence as a free people who have
always proudly and fiercely defied and denied tyranny both here at home and
around the world. For over two hundred
years, we have heeded the words of our Founding Fathers about jealously and
vigorously protecting and guarding our freedom and our liberty for they are
indeed both precious and fragile. The
Founders knew and understood this only too well having lived through and
experienced life under tyrannical rule.
As is all too often the case, however, familiarity breeds contempt or at
least a deep and even deadly sense of apathy and total ignorance. Over the last half century or so, the Bill of
Rights has lost virtually all meaning if not relevance to present day American
life. Virtually no one knows what they
are or mean and even fewer Americans know why they were created and added to
our Constitution. If you care to partake
of an exercise in complete futility and frustration, for example, try this on
an afternoon when you’ve got absolutely nothing better to do. Go to your local shopping mall and randomly
survey one hundred or so of the folks you run across. Ask if they know what the Bill of Rights is
and why it is important. The level of
ignorance will both disappoint and disillusion.
Don’t even bother inquiring about the meaning of any specific or particular
amendments for that might really drive you over the edge. The American public seems not to know or even
care about the freedoms guaranteed to us by our Bill of Rights and, that being
the case, have absolutely no idea or concept that we are in the process of
losing them. The “great unwashed” out
here can’t for the life of them find any
relevance between their own lives and documents that are hundreds of years
old. They have absolutely no sense of
history and without that anchor there can be no lessons learned – only lessons
lost. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this be the case? Is it no more than
happenstance or perhaps an instance of collective amnesia? Why should something as important and crucial
– not to mention unique – as our Bill of Rights be relegated to a position of
extreme unimportance and even irrelevance?
Do our first ten amendments really no longer apply to life in America? Have they really outlived whatever usefulness
they may have had for this nation as the 21<sup>st</sup> Century rolls
inexorably on? Do we no longer need the
protections that they once provided? Has
their promise actually been fulfilled and can our Founding Fathers finally rest
in peace? Have the goals of protecting
individual rights and freedoms and limiting the power of government finally and
irrevocably been achieved? Is it time
for us to stop worrying about our right to free speech, free press, and freedom
of religion? Should we no longer be
concerned with our government never becoming more powerful than is permitted by
the Constitution or that our due process rights no longer need safeguarding?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> If you’ve
answered yes to any of these questions – and dozens more that could be asked –
then our nation is in serious trouble and, in fact, our precious rights and
freedoms are very much in jeopardy of being lost and rights lost can never be
restored. Once they’re gone, they’re
gone for good. Surely, this cannot be
what most Americans want and desire unless, of course, they don’t even know
what they are losing. After all, if you don’t know what you have, you can’t
possibly know when it’s gone. If you
don’t know or understand that you’ve lost something or that it’s been taken
away from you, it’s impossible to miss it or comprehend the meaning of the
loss. Unfortunately, this seems to be
the case with far too many Americans today.
They simply don’t know what their rights are nor do they understand the
innate oppressive power of government – all government – anywhere in the
world. If allowed, government will
always and invariably garner more and more power unto itself which inevitably
comes at the expense of individual liberty and freedom. This has always been the case and continues
to the present day. The less vigilant a
people become, the more powerful government will grow and big, unwieldy
government is always anathema to freedom, individual rights, and liberty. The more people learn to depend on government
for their wants and needs, the less freedom they enjoy. Thomas Jefferson wisely instructed that a,
“government big enough to give you everything you want is also powerful enough
to take away everything you have.” This
has been the case in America for far too long and the growth of an increasingly
powerful and all-pervasive federal government is no mere accident or some odd
quirk of fate. It has been perpetrated
on this nation and its population since at least the 1960’s and can reasonably
be traced back to FDR’s New Deal all those years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

desire the complete destruction of our Bill of Rights because those ten amendments
are viewed as impediments and obstacles by those who champion the growth of
ever bigger and more intrusive government.
These are the folks who desperately want government involved in every
aspect of the lives of the citizenry.
You see, they are Statists, Authoritarians, and Totalitarian wanna-be’s
who don’t merely want to govern but rather to rule. They are no different in attitude and outlook
than the Divine Right Rulers of centuries ago.
They do not trust us “little folk” as capable of making decisions for
ourselves and our families let alone for our country. According to them, our role is to simply shut
up and rubber stamp their machinations and plans to turn this country into
something it was never intended to be.
Our input is not wanted or needed and the less involved we are in the
governing process, the less trouble we can cause for those Elitists whose
fondest dream is to fundamentally transform this country into something more
akin to an oppressive regime instead of the magnificent Constitutional Republic
so brilliantly crafted by our Founding Fathers almost two hundred and forty
years ago. They are what I have dubbed
the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite) and they are doing their damnedest to
effectively render our Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights null and
void. Our Founding Documents don’t fit
their template of the Socialist-Authoritarian State in which the people have
virtually no power and rights, liberties, and freedoms are anything but God-given. Instead, they are granted to us by men and
can therefore be taken away by our “betters” when they are viewed as serious
threats by those who would control every aspect of our lives from cradle to
grave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

deliberate destructive process can easily be illustrated by taking even the
most perfunctory look at the nation’s education system. Whereas the country’s founding and those
essential documents that are the central elements behind what has correctly
been deemed the concept of American Exceptionalism used to be basic to every child’s
education beginning in elementary school that is no longer the case. American history has been completely revised
by the Liberal Elites who have had a stranglehold on our educational system for
at least half a century. The
Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are treated minimally at
best or simply ignored at worst. They
are deemed meaningless and irrelevant by those who control education in this
nation. They are either glossed over,
distorted, or completely ignored. Our children
do not learn the amazing historical importance of America’s founding and what
it meant to the world. They are not
taught to appreciate the sacrifice that characterized the birth of this country
and, therefore, cannot possibly comprehend it.
This has been done purposely by the LFE and continues through high
school and university. This “revisionist
history”, which really took hold in the 1960’s, presents America’s past in the
darkest possible terms and has served to instill in the country’s young ones a
deep distrust, disrespect, and even hatred for America and all that it stands
for and represents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

current climate. It begins with,
“Welcome to the first day of civics class in the Common Core. Your first assignment? Revising the Bill of Rights in the U.S.
Constitution because it is an outdated document.” How about that. The Bill of Rights is seen as outdated and
therefore, I suppose, as useless, irrelevant, and inapplicable in 21<sup>st</sup>
Century America. I had been taught, all
those years ago, that these ten amendments were, in fact, timeless and that the
principles and particulars contained therein constituted the bedrock upon which
our nation was built and by which it became exceptional. I had learned that the Bill of Rights was our
bulwark against big, unwieldy, and abusive government and served to protect and
preserve individual rights and freedoms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’m just an Old Fart who is also outdated and irrelevant in today’s
America. The piece goes on to explain
that, “You have been selected to work on a National Revised Bill of Rights Task
Force,” and that, “You have been charged with the task of revising and editing
the Bill of Rights.” That task also
included adding amendments to the document.
Alrighty then. Let’s scrap the
old one and bring on a new one that more accurately reflects the wants and
desires of current day Americans. Well, that’s quite a daunting task especially
since our students have not been taught the purpose, meaning, or context that
the Bill of Rights embodies. If they
don’t know the Bill of Rights as written and intended, how can they possibly
revise it? They can’t. They can only destroy it. The article goes on to note that, “students
are not being taught what the document means, or any kind of appreciation for
the document. The underlying assumption
of the assignment is that the Constitution is outdated and needs to be
changed.” Furthermore, “Another
underlying assumption is that this can be done by a citizen task force which
ignores the actual procedure for amending the Constitution.” This kind of assignment is designed to do
nothing less than teach children contempt for one of the most liberty-inspiring
documents ever written by the hand of man.
It is designed to undermine, subvert, and distort the uniqueness and
exceptionalism upon which this nation was founded and is characterized to this
day. If the LFE among us can
successfully brainwash the country’s young ‘uns into a lack of appreciation or
understanding of America’s founding then, indeed, they will have succeeded in
their goal of transforming the United States into something our Founders
wouldn’t recognize and would have fought a second revolution to prevent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

school exercise is by no means the only attempt to destroy the Bill of Rights
and scrap our Founding Principles. No,
that effort goes at least as far back as FDR’s New Deal when the United States
had experienced the Great Depression and was fighting World War ll. An article entitled, “The State of the Union

is particularly instructive in this regard. Introducing a second Bill of Rights
presupposes that there was actually a need for one and that somehow the
original was no longer adequate. Well,
if one is a Statist who favors more than anything else the establishment of an
ever larger, more powerful and intrusive government than one supposes that the
first Bill of Rights left something to be desired. If one disagrees with the founding concept of
limiting the power of government in order to safeguard and preserve individual
rights and freedoms then the demand for a second Bill of Rights becomes
comprehensible, even necessary.
Roosevelt’s proposed Second Bill of Rights contains within it all those
assumptions and more and is designed to undermine and destroy the Founding
Principles upon which our magnificent Republic was founded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Let’s take
a few moments to examine some of the “rights” FDR deemed necessary and proper
to move America forward. Roosevelt
proclaimed that we, “have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under
which a new base of security and prosperity can be established for all –
regardless of station, race, or creed.”
Among the additional “rights” emphasized by FDR was the, “right to a
useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the
nation,” and the, “right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing
and recreation.” How’s it sound so
far? Additionally, we note the, “right
of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him
and his family a decent living,” and the, “right of every businessman, large
and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and
domination by monopolies at home and abroad.”
Boy, I’ll tell ya Old Franklin D. really seems to be on a tear
here! He also insisted on the, “right of
every family to a decent home,” and the, “right to adequate medical care and
the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.” FDR is sounding better and better for who
could possibly object to the “rights” thus far enumerated? Furthermore, FDR’s Second Bill of Rights
included the, “right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age,
sickness, accident, and unemployment,” as well as the, “right to a good
education.” Wow, talk about a virtual
utopia, a veritable Heaven on Earth kind of a deal! FDR concluded that, “America’s own rightful
place in the world depends in large part on how fully these and similar rights
have been carried into practice for our citizens.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

therein lies the FUCKING RUB!! Read that
last sentence again and note the phrase, “For Our Citizens.” It does not read, “carried into practice BY
our citizens,” but rather FOR our citizens.
Do you begin to catch on now, do you begin to see? Roosevelt was promising pure, unbridled, and
unfettered Socialism. The government
will step in and see to it that each of us is guaranteed these “rights” and
that, in fact, they cannot be realized unless government becomes more and more
involved in providing them for us.
Apparently, Roosevelt and his ilk did not trust us or deem us capable
enough to provide those so-called rights for ourselves and our families. We little folks must and should depend on
government to do this for us. Yeah, I’d
say that constitutes Socialism writ large and, unfortunately, it sounds far too
much like America in the year 2014! </span></div>

“rights” catalogued by FDR are not in fact rights at all. Instead, they are more properly termed goals
and opportunities and that is and always has been the promise of America. Here, unlike most of the world, we are
promised the right to try and succeed, the right to try and achieve whatever is
our pleasure and the only limits placed on individual success are virtually
always self-imposed. In our system, we
are promised the right to life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness but the
outcome is never guaranteed! That is up
to each and every one of us and we must all develop our own abilities, talents,
and desires that will enable us to achieve our goals. Government should be there to see that the
playing field is level and that no one begins the race behind or ahead of the
starting line. How we cross the finish
line, however, is up to us and in that the government must never interfere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

unalterable fact that in this country regardless of humble beginnings, each
individual can rise to heights literally not seen anywhere else in the

government for all of life’s necessities and desires. We are no longer expected to fend for and
provide for ourselves but instead must turn to Big Brother for those things in
life that the individual had always been expected to provide for himself. Want a job?
Go to government which has become this nation’s largest employer and
that, by the way, was never intended or envisioned. Need health care? Go see Uncle Sam and he’ll gladly step in and
control every aspect of your life because once government controls health and
health care it dictates how you will and will not live. Need sustenance? Apply for federally controlled food stamps
and all will be well. Need a place to
live? Easy, just get yourself some
federally subsidized housing. Do you
need a cell phone? No problem. Just go and get yourself a free Obamaphone or
maybe three or four of them. Having
trouble paying your heating bill in the winter?
Hey, no problem. The federal
government has programs for that too.
Out of work? Don’t worry about
it. How about two years of unemployment
checks provided by the nation’s taxpayers?
It seems that there’s literally no aspect of life that needs our
personal attention or initiative anymore and that’s precisely what the LFE wants,
desires, and demands. The
Liberals-Socialists among us are FDR’s successors and standard bearers. They carry the torch for those in our nation
who want to destroy our very foundations.
They want to knock down every single tradition that has made this
country the greatest nation God ever gave mankind and the envy of the entire

exceptional goes by the boards. The
importance of this document cannot be overstated and the fact that there exist
very powerful forces in this country that view it as an impediment to their own
power and influence should remind all of us that we must be ever vigilant in
our fight against those forces whenever and wherever it becomes necessary. Benjamin Franklin famously insisted that
those who would sacrifice just a little freedom for a little more security
indeed deserved neither. Yet more and
more of us seem willing to do exactly that.
FDR’s Second Bill of Rights does promise the prospect of more security

nonexistent. This is not merely an
opinion but can easily be verified by a truthful and honest examination of
countries like Cuba, the old Soviet Union, or even modern-day China. The same promises of security granted in the
Second Bill of Rights are also granted in all Statist-Authoritarian nations but
freedom is literally unknown. Liberty is
virtually nonexistent and choice and opportunity are nowhere to be found. In these places and many others, the
government is all-powerful, ever-present, intrusive, and must be obeyed. There are no checks on what government cannot
do to its citizens and those hapless folks have no recourse whatsoever. There exist no documents like our Bill of

These types must be resisted and defeated if the promise of America is

Socialists among us emerge victorious, then America ceases to exist and will
take its place on that long list of failed experiments that flourished for a
bit but ultimately ended up in the dust bin of history from which there is no

Obama’s IRS, for example, was expressly ordered to investigate and audit
the various Tea Party groups that have arisen around the country since the

Indeed, these as well as other grass roots organizations have summarily
been denied tax exempt status thus effectively preventing them from raising

First Amendment right to free speech, free press, and freedom of expression for
daring to oppose the views, actions, and philosophy of America’s most notable

What the Hell is that, you ask?
Yeah, me too. I’d never heard of
it either because like so much that Obama and the Boys do, we were never meant
to hear of it. The NDAA is a, “law that
grants the U.S. military the legal right to conduct secret kidnappings of U.S.
citizens, followed by indefinite detention, interrogation, torture and even
murder. This is all conducted completely
outside the protection of law, with no jury, no trial, no legal representation
and not even any requirement that the government produce evidence against the
accused.” Author Mike Adams correctly
concludes that this, “is a system of outright government tyranny against the
American people, and it effectively nullifies the Bill of Rights.” There’s absolutely no arguing with that last
point if you know what is contained in those first ten amendments. As noted earlier, however, most Americans no
longer have that knowledge and therefore have absolutely no fucking clue just
how badly the NDAA stomps all over the Bill of Rights and denies us basic
freedoms that so many in our country have fought and died to protect. This means literally nothing to the Liberal
Pukes in our country who are firmly convinced that they have the right to
destroy our freedoms if it fits their agenda of destroying America. The article goes on to note that this, “is
the law that will cement Obama’s legacy in the history books as the traitor who
nullified the Bill of Rights and paved America’s pathway down a road of tyranny

Under the NDAA, the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are reduced to nothing
more than memories of a time when individual rights and freedoms were well
known and hotly defended whenever they seemed threatened. This, of course, presupposes that the
American population actually knew what those rights were and perceived the
absolute need to defend any infringement or encroachment upon them. Tragically, this is no longer the case.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The author of the piece constantly and
correctly emphasizes the ultimate importance of the Bill of Rights as he notes
that, “While the U.S. Constitution already limits the power of the federal
government, the Bill of Rights is the document that enumerates even more limits
on federal power.” This, of course, is
crucial given what’s been happening regarding the ever expanding power of our
central government, especially the Executive Branch. It is, however, becoming increasingly
difficult to maintain the freedoms enunciated in the Bill of Rights, “given the
natural tendency of all government to concentrate power in the hands of the few
while destroying the rights and freedoms of their own people.” It is essential that the American population
never forget the purpose of the Bill of Rights as envisioned by our Founders
who rightly perceived government as a threat and a usurper of freedom. Our Revolution was fought expressly to
prevent tyranny in our new nation but the LFE in our midst desires the exact
opposite.</span></div>

enacted by them and every executive order signed by our Dictator Wannabe is
purposely designed to restrict, limit,
and destroy our hard-won freedoms and to finally and irrevocably trash the Bill
of Rights. The article properly insists
that the purpose of the Bill of Rights, “was to provide additional
clarifications on the limitations of government power so that there could be
absolutely no question that government could NEVER, under any circumstances,
violate these key principles of freedom:
Freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom from illegal
searches, the right to remain silent, the right to due process under the law,
and so on.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

around you folks and, if you can, honestly assess the condition of freedom as it
exists in America and compare it to the vision of our Founding Fathers. We are far less free than we were when the
nation was still new and untested. We
are far less free in 2014 than we were when we threw off the shackles of
British colonialism and said a resounding NO to tyranny. Well, tyranny is back and under the Liberals
and their Destroyer – in – Chief it is overwhelming and undermines our freedom
at every turn. Government is now far too
heavily involved in virtually every single aspect of our lives while most
citizens have become thoroughly ignorant and unaware of our proud history and
heritage as a free country and a free people.
We have reached a point in the life of the United States where an
overwhelming sense of apathy and indifference has descended upon us like the
darkest of thunder-heads just prior to a storm of devastating proportions. We are in a fight right now and most Americans
are blissfully unaware of that fact. We
are in a battle to preserve our freedom and liberty not from some foreign
invader bent on conquest but rather from fellow Americans and this is the
ultimate tragedy we face today. Too many
of us are so completely unaware of our magnificent history and traditions that
one has to wonder just how this happened.
What brought us to this point where so many of us actually don’t know
who we really are and what America has historically represented?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The answer
is easily and readily comprehensible:
unfettered and unbridled Liberalism.
Sadly, Liberalism controls all of our major institutions including such
things as education, the media – both print and electronic – entertainment at
all levels, publishing, and so much more.
Our kids are bombarded and brainwashed with it before they are old
enough to take their first steps and it continues unabated well into
adulthood. Liberalism is virtually
solely responsible for America’s decline and unfortunately too many of our
fellow citizens either really don’t seem to care or actually welcome this
evisceration of every single tradition that we used to hold dear and would
defend without hesitation if we thought they were under assault. This is simply no longer the case and thus we
are witnessing the demise of our precious Bill of Rights and the protections it
provides. It is an absolute tragedy and
travesty that we have allowed ourselves to reach the point that we are
witnessing the suicide – the internal destruction – of the greatest nation in
planetary history. It literally keeps me
and many more of us Old Farts out here awake at night in fear of what will
happen to our children and grandchildren.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

author of the piece maintains, “today’s runaway federal government utterly
ignores the limitations placed on it by the founding fathers. It aggressively and criminally seeks to
expand its power at all costs, completely ignoring the Bill of Rights and
openly violating the limitations of power placed upon it by the United States
Constitution.” The writer notes, for
example, the, “TSA’s illegal searching of air travelers, for example, is a
blatant violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
The government’s hijacking of websites it claims are linking to
copyright infringement hubs is a blatant violation of First Amendment rights.
The government’s demand that all Americans be forced to buy private health
insurance is a blatant violation of Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution –
the Commerce Clause.” The piece
continues that now, “with the passage of the NDAA, the federal government has
torpedoed the entire Bill of Rights, dismissing it completely and effectively
promising to violate those rights at will.
As of January 1, 2012, we have all been designated enemies of the
state. America is the new battleground,
and your right to due process is null and void.” Wow! I
never imagined that ordinary, patriotic, Constitution-loving Americans could
possibly be seen as enemies of the state but remember, we’re dealing with the
LFE in our midst and to them we are indeed enemies of the state who must be
silenced and destroyed at all costs. The
piece concludes that, “we are now a nation led by evil, and threatened with
total destruction by those who would seek to rule as tyrants. This is America’s final hour. We either defend the republic now, or we lose
it forever.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

victory notwithstanding, we are indeed in danger of losing the nation that we
love and cherish. I hope those elections
constitute a harbinger of things to come and perhaps just maybe a spark has
been ignited that will call our country back to its roots, its founding, and
its heritage. I fear, however, that
those elections may represent a death knell, a final, desperate gasp of what is
left of freedom in our beloved nation. I
hope not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Have you ever heard of an outfit called
the, “Three Percenters?” Yeah, me
either. They are sometimes referred to
as, “Threepers” or “lll %ers.” Still
doesn’t ring any bells or set off any sirens for you? That’s really not all that surprising because
apparently almost no Americans have ever heard of them or know what they stand
for and represent. If you were to take a
random, unscientific survey of, let’s say, one hundred people in your immediate
vicinity or neighborhood literally none of the participants would respond in
the affirmative. You would certainly get
many quizzical looks and much shrugging of the shoulders but it’s a pretty good
bet that no one would know anything about the group. Even those folks who may have heard the name
“Three Percenters” wouldn’t know much about them and what little information
they possessed would invariably be absolutely incorrect. Likewise, most folks wouldn’t know much about
organizations like the NRA, the Tea Party, or the Oath Keepers but while they
may not be all that well known, I’m damned glad they’re out there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> First and foremost, it should be
understood that they are what can aptly be termed modern-day patriots who are
terribly upset, frustrated, and angered by what they correctly see as the
complete and utter destruction and decimation of the country they love and
cherish. They view themselves as direct
linear descendants of our Founding Fathers who risked life, limb, property, and
reputation to forge a new nation the likes of which had never before existed in
the annals of mankind. Not only are they
serious about that spiritual-historical bond, but they are damned proud of
it! They are more than just a tad bit
enraged by what they correctly see as the loss of our cherished and God-given
rights and freedoms and by the destruction of our Constitution, our Bill of
Rights, and the very essence of our Declaration of Independence which is easily
one of the single most important and impactful political documents and
philosophies ever created by the hand of man.
They are thoroughly disgusted by the continued growth of a seemingly all
powerful and omnipresent central government that is Hell-bent on micromanaging
every aspect of the lives of the citizenry and they are supremely cognizant of
the fact that this is the exact antithesis of what the Founders intended and
fought a bloody revolution to prevent.
The Founders, as do the Three Percenters, knew that by its very nature
government, all government, garners more and more power unto itself at the
expense of individual liberty and freedom.
They know that this is what’s happening to the United States and that it
has been going on for far too long. They
are justifiably afraid that we are losing our country as historically founded
and presently constituted and that those in charge of government are turning
our country into something it was never intended to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

they believe and they don’t seem to give a rat’s ass who knows it. They are unabashedly and unashamedly
patriotic in their love of country and seem willing to fight, if needs be, to
preserve and nurture the heritage and spirit of the nation’s Founding and First
Principles. Predictably, therefore, they
are mocked, ridiculed, and disparaged by those oh-so-sophisticated urbane and
condescending types who make up what is commonly referred to as our Political
Class or Inside the Beltway Crowd who are perennially in charge of running this
nation straight to Hell and gone and it really doesn’t seem to matter what side
of the aisle they’re on. All of them
seem to have been hopelessly and thoroughly seduced by the power that comes
with being a Washington insider, a player if you will. They seem to be less concerned with the good
of the nation than they are with remaining perpetually ensconced in positions
of power and influence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Those in the professional political class
simply can’t be bothered with folks who profess patriotism and a love of
country. They view them as
unsophisticated yokels, rubes, and hicks who should be content with their lot
in life and simply stay home, read their Bibles, and clean their rifles. They should absolutely not, however, presume
to impose their will and desires on those who were elected to represent
them! Just where in the Hell do these
back-woods types get off expecting their government to actually do the bidding
of those who put them in power anyway?
Man, you talk about not knowing your place – well, I guess! The “sophisticates” among us view the
modern-day patriots as misanthropes, as out of place and time. They are but throw backs to a by-gone age in
our history that no longer has relevance or meaning in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century. They are nothing more than an embarrassment
when they sound off about such “nonsense” as love pf country, patriotism, and
smaller, less intrusive government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that we live today in a global and globalized world where nationalism and
patriotism are merely meaningless concepts that no longer fit the current
global template and condition and that it’s time they got with the
program? Don’t they realize that their
ever so quaint notions of things like borders, language, and culture have been
replaced by concepts of globalism, one-worldism, and moral relativism? Aren’t they aware that the governing
principles of today’s life and times have nothing at all to do with America’s
First Principles which made the United States the single greatest nation the
world has ever seen? Do they not
comprehend that governance in 21<sup>st</sup> Century parlance translates into
controlling all aspects of the lives of those who are governed and notions like
the will of the people or popular sovereignty are anathema to those statists
and authoritarian types who hold the reins of power?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

understand the concept of limited government and, therefore, cannot grasp the
meaning of the American Revolution which was fought in large measure to
establish just such a government. Those
who would control us cannot fathom concepts like individual rights and freedoms
which are cornerstones of the American experience and have historically defined
who we are as a nation and a people.
They cannot comprehend the idea of placing limits on the power of
government and, by definition, are antithetical to our Constitution and Bill of
Rights which for the first time in world history did exactly that. They view our Founding Documents as nothing
more than impediments and obstacles to their objective of creating
complete and utter control over a
subservient, obedient, complacent, and docile nation of automatons who exist
solely to do the bidding of those who occupy positions of power, wealth, and
influence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

groups that exist out there are afraid of losing their country and refuse to
simply go quietly into the night like sheep being lead to slaughter. They wish to assert their rights as American citizens and demand that the
nation and its leaders return the United States to the kind of government
bequeathed to us by the Founders instead
of the giant, freedom-destroying, rapacious behemoth that it has become. For this quite simple demand for fealty to
our historic roots and principles, for this desire to return our nation to the
concept and reality of American Exceptionalism they are, of course, mocked,
ridiculed, and minimalized. They are
made to look like no more than gun-toting Neanderthals who mindlessly wave the
flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and honor our nation’s history and
traditions. Why are they characterized
so negatively and scurrilously?
Simple. They are viewed as a
threat. They are viewed correctly as an
entity that refuses to conform to or accept the status quo as it currently
exists in the United States in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century. They will not merely passively or meekly
surrender what they see as their birthright to the forces among us that want
nothing more than to destroy this nation and all that it stands for and
represents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

country, deny the concept of American Exceptionalism, and teach our young folks
that America is and always has been the world’s greatest evil and the cause of
all planetary suffering, torment, and turmoil?
Again, simple. They are America’s
Liberals and their weapon of choice, of course, is Liberalism. They were born, raised, and bred here and,
tragically, have grown to loathe and despise the nation that gave them
everything they have – especially their freedom. They truly believe that the United States
does not deserve the success it has had and that, indeed, we have become the
world’s most powerful and wealthiest nation in history by nefarious and
underhanded means. According to these
anti-American types, we have roamed the planet pillaging and looting the wealth
of others to enrich our own coffers. We
have raped, killed, and enslaved the poor on a global scale but never more
egregiously than within our own borders.
They claim that we hate all those who are not Caucasian and that we view
so-called people of color as somewhat less than human.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mention the United States must be brought to its knees, destroyed as it
presently exists, and be reduced to the level of Third Worldism to which the
vast majority of mankind has been consigned since the beginning of recorded
history. These are America’s real
enemies and are far more dangerous to our existence than the emergence of
forces like ISIS or Mr. Putin in Russia.
Liberalism is the force that will destroy the United States not some
foreign enemy or threat. The forces of
globalism and one-worldism within our nation are far more dangerous to our
survival than some bomb-tossing maniac who wants only to die for Allah! It is the Liberals in our midst who represent
the ultimate threat to America’s continued success and prosperity not some
foreigner bent on territorial expansion or ideological hegemony! Most Americans, however, simply cannot
conceive of this. They can’t wrap their
minds around the concept of American citizens hating America much the same way
they don’t get the notion that Americans have actually twice elected a
President who literally despises America.
It just doesn’t compute. It makes
them uncomfortable, as it should, and they therefore tend to ignore and
underplay it and that’s what Liberals and Liberalism bank on. By the time most of us wake up to the threat
that is Liberalism, it will already be too late and the country that we love
will be gone. All we’ll be able to do by
that point is ask ourselves, “What the fuck happened?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

aware of the nefarious forces that threaten us from within and are not at all

and imposition of global government complete with forced internment camps and
mass executions.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that I’d never before heard when it explains that, “when love of country is
mixed with fear of the government and hate for the president, that’s when you
become a Hatriot.” Hatriot? Now there’s something to think about. If one professes to love the United States
but is afraid of a virtually uncontrolled, unlimited, unchecked, and unfettered
federal government then that qualifies one as being a Hatriot – a hater? Well, let’s see here. I love my country and realize that without it
my life would be absolutely and irrevocably impacted for the worse. I also simultaneously hate, loathe, despise,
and fear this massive, out of control, freedom-destroying federal monstrosity
in Washington, DC, that resembles not at all the one created by our Founding
Fathers all those years ago. Does this
qualify me as a Hatriot?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in present day America that I do hate so maybe I can correctly be called a
genuine, bone-fide hater if not an actual Hatriot. I hate Liberalism and those who champion that
loathsome, destructive, and un-American philosophy. I hate the concept of an all-powerful, out of
control federal government that is rapidly destroying individual freedom and
rights in this nation. I hate those
individuals and groups that either can’t or won’t recognize the greatness that
is America or the concept of American Exceptionalism. I do indeed hate those who purposely distort
and blatantly lie about America’s history and historic role in the world to our
younger generations in order that they never develop a sense of patriotism or
love of country. I hate the idea and
reality that more and more Americans have become utterly dependent on
government for virtually all of their wants and needs and have completely
eschewed long-held and cherished American traditions like self-reliance, rugged
individualism, and personal responsibility for their actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

electorate and who refuse to defend us from enemies of the Constitution be they
foreign or domestic. I hate the fact that
today’s immigrants no longer come here to be Americans but rather to grab the
goodies available to them but believe they owe nothing in return – including
loyalty to the United States. I hate the
fact that our President is fulfilling his promise to fundamentally transform
America into something that more resembles some Third World Socialist Shithole
rather than the greatest nation that God ever gave mankind. I hate the fact that those among us who
loathe and despise America as historically founded and presently constituted
are succeeding in destroying it while at the same time most Americans, tragically,
in lemming-like fashion seem content to blindly rush over the precipice to
their own demise. This, by the way,
constitutes but the short list of the negative currents and trends that I
notice in the United States today and have come to firmly believe that it is
getting to the point of no return and that fixing what has gone so terribly
wrong may no longer be possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not fall into the lemming class. They
will not lose the country they love and revere without a fight and while they
may go down one day, I doubt they’ll go down with their hands in the air! People who are this serious about defending
their God-given rights and freedoms tend not to “fit” the norm and are seen as
way out there on the fringe of American society. They do not conform to the sadly correct
characterization of the fat, happy, complacent, and lazy American of the 21<sup>st</sup>
Century. They are unwilling, to put it
mildly, to give up what so many before them fought and died to establish and
preserve. They are not buffoons, clowns,
or caricatures and are more than just a tad bit serious concerning their
devotion to this country and all that made it great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

quotes an article from Politicus USA, which dismisses and disparages groups
like the Three Percenters. It maintains
that, “a child’s imagination, fantasies, and make believe is a wonder to behold
but when grown men that should be holding down a real job instead of
fantasizing they are in a revolutionary war against the United States
government and use firearms to confront refugee children, their fantasy makes
them traitors against America and cowards for laying in wait for child refugees
fleeing violence in Central America.”
Traitors? Cowards? That’s pretty damned strong language especially
when whoever wrote the Politicus screed offers not a single shred of
evidentiary support. Referring to the
recent flood of illegal alien children crossing our southern border, I defy
anyone to point to even one instance of the Three Percenters confronting
children with firearms. Any takers out
there? I didn’t think so. As far as the charge of treason goes, I’m
sure that our founders and many who fought and died for the American Revolution
were referred to as traitors to Great Britain but that didn’t make them
wrong. They fought for what they
believed and their eventual victory made the world a far better place both then
and now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Three Percenter’s, “core belief is a willingness to offer violent resistance to
the United States government, something definitely NOT in the U.S. Constitution
they support.” No Shit, Sherlock! Ya Fucking think!?! It may not, in fact, be in our Constitutin
but it sure as Shit is right there in our Declaration of Independence written
in bold and uncompromising English for all the world to see! If the numb-nut fool who wrote the above quoted
drivel had ever bothered to read the Declaration he’d know that Mr. Jefferson
insisted that when a government – any government – attempted to destroy the
rights of the people then the people had a moral duty and obligation to destroy
that government and establish a new one that would preserve and protect those
rights and freedoms. It used to be that
any well-educated sixth grader would have known that but apparently this is no
longer the case. The author of the
Politicus piece concludes that Three Percenters and their ilk, “need to be
crushed with tanks and gunships. You can’t let these anti-American domestic
terrorists get away with anything,” and that these, “folks are completely
delusional if they think for one moment that they can successfully go up
against a government with the ability to squash them like the roaches they are

Tanks and gunships? Wow!! I posited earlier that those who vehemently
oppose Three Percenter types do so because they view them as a viable
threat. Herschel Smith who authored the
Make Believe Army piece notes that for, “readers of Politicus, USA, I won’t try
to educate you on the finer points of the foundations for civil society, but I
will simply say to you the following:
you have no idea what’s coming, how bad it’s going to be, or how to stop
it once it begins. And there is nothing
make believe about men who are morally committed, called by God, and dedicated
to the very end to ideals you treat as a mere punchline.” Very well said, indeed, and thoroughly
accurate and on point. The Liberal Pukes
in our midst do in fact treat concepts like patriotism, nationalism, limited
government, and First Principles as no more than punchlines with no more
relevance or meaning than some late night talk show monologue. The fact that we’ve fallen so far from the
days of our Founding is a tragic commentary on the state of the nation since
the the American Revolution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> For those out there who are curious, the
name Three Percenters derives from the 3% of the colonial population who not
only supported the cause of independence from England but were willing to fight
and die to make it a reality. The
traditional breakdown of the colonists regarding independence usually runs that
something like one-third favored independence, one-third wanted to remain a
part of the British Empire, and about one-third didn’t give a damn one way or
the other. Of that one-third who favored
a break from the Mother Country, roughly 3% were willing to violently oppose
English tyranny, thus the name of the group under consideration. This time, however, they are not fighting
some distant, far away colonial power but our own government which they view as
equally oppressive as that of old King George.
A piece entitled, “Sipsey Street Irregulars (</span><a href="http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
explains that during, “the American Revolution, the active forces in the field
against the king’s tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the
colonists. They were in turn actively
supported by perhaps 10% of the population.
In addition to these revolutionaries were perhaps another 20% who favored
their cause but did little or nothing to support it.” Thus we get the traditionally accepted number
of about one-third of the colonists who favored American independence. The piece goes on to say that, “History, for
good or ill, is made by determined minorities.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

skill to determine who shall shape the future of our nation.” The future of our nation. Now there’s a concept that most Americans
don’t really think about all that much.
After all, why should they? Most
of us today are just too busy with life’s more mundane trials and tribulations
and, quite simply, have more immediate problems to confront and overcome. How secure, for example are their jobs and
businesses in today’s economic environment?
Will they be able to pay the mortgage and utilities this month and
where’s the money coming from to pay for the kid’s college or private school
education? Will they be able to afford
gas for the car or put food on the table given what’s going on at the pumps or
in the meat aisle of the local super market?
Will I be able to afford the ever-growing tax burden that government at
all levels seems to willy-nilly and with no rhyme or reason place on the backs
of ordinary American citizens who are just trying to make ends meet the best

of time worrying about lost rights and the slow, steady erosion of
freedom. Daily life just seems to get in
the way of such weighty and lofty considerations. That’s why groups like the Three Percenters
and others are more important than most of us seem to realize. They act as a thorn in the side or perhaps a
burr under the saddle, so to speak.
Their presence reminds us that all is indeed not well and these folks
know it and are warning the rest of us out here, a minority though they may be,
that their anger and frustration are growing beyond the point of
containment. Yeah, yeah, so what? These guys are just a tiny percent of the
population and certainly can’t represent a credible threat to the status quo,
can they? Remember the mark referenced
above about the role of determined minorities.
Remember too, our own Revolution, the French Revolution, the Russian
Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, and the numerous Mexican and Latin American
Revolutions. All of them were initiated
by small, tiny minorities who had reached the point where they believed they
had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by overthrowing the
existing power structure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

without successful historical precedent.
The article goes on to note that the, “Three Percenters are gun owners
who will not disarm, will not compromise and will no longer back up at the
passage of the next gun control act.
Three Percenters say quite explicitly that we will not obey any further
circumscription of our traditional liberties and will defend ourselves if
attacked.” Additionally, “we intend to
maintain our God-given natural rights to liberty and property, and that means
most especially the right to keep and bear arms.” It seems that we have here a bunch of folks
who are more than thoroughly fed up with the direction in which our nation has
evolved since its Founding, have drawn the proverbial line in the sand, and are
apparently very well armed. This, by the
way, is how any revolution begins and those out there who mock, ridicule, and
dismiss these American citizens had perhaps better start taking them
seriously. Just a thought. The piece concludes by warning that, “we are
committed to the restoration of the Founders’ republic, and we are willing to
fight, die and, if forced by any would-be oppressor, to kill in defense of
ourselves and the Constitution that we all took an oath to uphold against
enemies foreign and domestic.” You think

routinely and casually misunderstood, maligned, and slandered is not at all
surprising. Any person or group who
dares to challenge the status quo is normally scrutinized carefully by those
who have a vested interest in maintaining and perpetuating business as
usual. Today’s patriotic organizations
are consistently lied about, targeted, and pursued by agents of the government
that view them as even a remote threat that must be constantly watched, surveiled,
and even harassed. The current
administration, however, has raised this kind of activity to new heights. Groups like the Tea Party, for example, are
constantly audited by Obama’s IRS goons and are routinely denied tax exempt
status which effectively stops them from organizing politically and raising
funds to promote their causes. Obama and
the Boys have gone way past the point of mere paranoia when it comes to
individuals and groups who disagree with them and think absolutely nothing of
destroying their rights as American citizens in order to shut them up and make
them go away. That’s about as
un-American as it gets and yet those in power seem perennially surprised and
shocked when outfits like the Three Percenters raise their voices in protest
against the heavy-handed tactics employed by government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

speaks directly to this point. The
author notes that the, “the patriot movement has been gaining a lot of steam
lately. With the insanity surrounding the current administration, it’s no
wonder people are waking up to the fact that they are at risk of losing the
basic liberties that we’ve all taken for granted for so long.” The piece continues that, “so far this year,
I’ve witnessed our President, as well as local governments, put our right to
assemble, due process, keep and bear arms, right to be free of unwarranted
searches and seizures, right of state sovereignty, as well as a litany of other
essential liberties being threatened and perverted in such a manner that the
Founding Fathers would be rolling over in their graves right now.” Each of these violations of our
Constitutional rights, by the way, can be easily documented and verified should
you choose to spend the time doing so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

bunch of dissatisfied racists and wild-eyed anti-government conspiracy nuts
with just too much damned time on their hands and not enough to keep them
busy. This characterization may be
convenient but it is certainly for the most part not true and is used to paint
a picture of them as nothing more than a bunch of crazed, Far Right radicals
who hate everyone and everything that doesn’t fit their concept of what America
should be and who Americans really are.
In fact, the author of the piece does a very credible job of dispelling
that myth and explaining who the Three Percenters actually are. He notes that if one goes to the website of
the Utah State Militia, for example, you will actually find a, “warning to
racists, anti-government, potential terrorists, and hate mongers alike. It clearly states that while they may not
like those who are currently running the government, they respect the system
and the seats in government. In short, the Utah States Militia is an
organization dedicated to the preservation of our form of government.” How does
that fit the stereotype normally presented to us of these modern-day patriotic
groups?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“modern patriots, by and large, are not racists. We are not hate groups. We are not anti-government.” Who, then, are these folks? The piece notes that we, “are families. We are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers,
sons, and daughters who care about this country and we are concerned about the
direction it is heading. We are hard
working, independent thinking people. We
are your neighbors.” Furthermore, we
are, “the people who come to your house when your furnace breaks down, or the
real estate agent you know. We are the
people up the road that you can count on when you need to borrow an egg or a
cup of sugar. We are the first ones you
call when you need a quick hand with a project in your back yard.” Do these guys sound so fearful and
threatening that the government needs to watch them and place them on lists or
do they sound like people you know in your town or city? So, then, wherein lies the difference between
“them” and most of the rest of us? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we are concerned about what is happening to our country and liberty. We are afraid that if we don’t make a stand
now by actively engaging in our political process, demonstrating, protesting,
and voting, we will lose what little we have left in terms of essential
liberties that are supposed to be inalienable.”

recognizing the current state of affairs in America and are adamant in their
refusal to silently acquiesce to a status quo that seems Hell-bent on
destroying the heritage and traditions that have made the United States such a
great and unique country. They desperately
want to hold on to and preserve that nation and will not give it up without a
struggle – no matter what the cost. They
also seem to believe that most of us want to get back to the concept of a
limited government and not, “some overgrown monstrosity that serves to do
nothing more than run our lives from cradle to grave and tax & fine our
very livelihood every step of the way.”
Is there anyone out there who could seriously disagree with that last
comment? Well yeah, there are literally
tens upon tens of millions who would.
Why? It’s not because the
statement isn’t true or can’t be proven.
It seems, rather, to be a function of a vast ignorance and malaise that
grips our population to the point of complete apathy and inaction. Sadly, even tragically, most Americans no
longer know our own history and could not tell you what’s in our Constitution,
the Bill of Rights, or the Declaration of Independence. They simply have no idea and therefore are
completely unaware that they are losing their rights and freedoms because they
no longer know what they are. That is a
sad commentary for a nation famous for championing and espousing individual
rights and freedoms and has always been the leader of the world in defending
and maintaining them. A nation that has
abandoned its past can lay no claim to a secure and bright future. A country that ignores and rejects its
founding has no right to expect anything from leaders whose sole purpose seems
to be nothing more than solidifying and expanding their own power. Groups like the Three Percenters are mortified
by this turn of events while most of the country does not seem to share or even
understand their concern and therefore don’t take them seriously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to wake the FUCK UP! Folks like the
Three Percenters maintain that they are, “liberty loving men and women who want
to see the rights we have enjoyed for so long preserved for our children and

apart, however, is that they are also, “preparing for a worst case scenario. Much like the men and women of colonial
America, we are not going to be caught off guard or left unprepared.” Does this last statement contain what might
be construed as a veiled threat or warning?
Well, actually yes it does. The
article goes on to inform us that, “By bullet or ballot, we threepers are
dedicated to the cause of liberty,” and, “to put it bluntly, we have not ruled
out violence as a last resort in our political process.” Well, there you have it. If push ever comes to shove, these guys are
ready to push and shove back. The rest
of us may laugh and snicker at people like these but they are certainly neither
laughing nor snickering. They truly
believe that, “when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.” For those of you who think that this
sentiment sounds vaguely familiar, I congratulate you for it hearkens straight
back to our Declaration of Independence and perfectly paraphrases the words of
Thomas Jefferson. Some of you out there
may have actually heard of the man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

particularly concerned American citizens who are afraid that the country is
quite literally being stolen away from them by forces antithetical to the very
principles that the nation was founded upon.
They are frustrated, fed up, and increasingly angry at the impotence and
apathy evinced by most Americans out here.
They do not understand and cannot comprehend the idea of American
citizens not defending and safeguarding our precious rights and freedoms. They are totally flummoxed at the inability,
the utter refusal, of most Americans to even recognize the fact that our
Republic is indeed in dire straits and is actually in danger of disappearing
altogether. They are also fed up by
those on the other side characterizing and dismissing them as merely
anti-government nuts and crazies who roam the countryside frothing at the mouth
while firing bullets into the air. These
guys are, in fact, pro-government and want to return America to something that
at least faintly resembles the government so brilliantly crafted and created by
our Founding Fathers more than two centuries ago. What seems to put most people off is the fact
that the Three Percenters are gun owners who claim that they will in fact use
those weapons to defend and uphold the Constitution and all that it embodies
and entails. The “complacent” American
is simply not used to this type of rhetoric in the age of Big Brother,
unconstitutional Executive Branch power grabs, and self-serving political
leadership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

maintains that most, “people who claim to be Three Percenters have a fairly
strong handle on history and the context with which it brings. They are responsible, freedom loving
Americans. They are family oriented. They care, because they want our nation to
last, not fail. Many are also highly
educated or have some kind of foundation that allows them the appropriate
context necessary to align themselves with such ideals. But anti-government? Racist?
No way!” Furthermore, the article
explains that rather than being anti-government, “Three Percenters are very much
pro-government – that adheres to constitutionally authorized functions. This basically defines equality, unalienable
rights, and civil liberties. They are
not hot heads seeking a fight.”
Additionally, “Three Percenters are about restoring Popular Sovereignty,
Limited Government, Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances, Judicial Review,
and even constitutionally aligned Federalism – a system of government where
sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority
and constituent political units (such as states or provinces), but where states
hold the power as defined by the 10<sup>th</sup> Amendment.” (see the Tenth Amendment Rant of 9/20/11) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Most of
us know who we are. Most normal adults
have a fairly well defined sense of self.
Most mature individuals have a clear idea of where we came from, how we
got where we are, and within broad limits where we are heading. We have a pretty clear notion of the forces,
both internal and external, that shaped and molded us as individuals and
members of our own particular communities.
We have taken on an individual identity that serves to inform us and those
with whom we interact as to the kinds of people we are and what can and cannot
be expected of us. We have developed
over time our own persona, characteristics, and world view. This sense of individual or personal identity
helps to define our own societal niche and gives us a sense of place, time, and
direction. Because most of us have that
fairly well defined sense of individual identity, we are able to cope with and
fit into the world around us and successfully navigate the inevitable obstacles
and pitfalls with which all of us are confronted at every stage of our
development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Have you
ever, for example, said about someone you know something like, “He’s just not
himself today,” or, “she’s behaving completely out of character,”? Of course you have and others have certainly
made the same observations about you.
When that individual whom you recognize as a mean, nasty, morose son of
a bitch who wouldn’t normally give you the right time of day comes on all
friendly, smiling, and eager to please you know something’s not right. When that person whom you usually identify as
someone who is happy, friendly, and carefree sits soundlessly alone in a corner
staring into space you realize that something is off, out of place, and
abnormal. It simply isn’t who they are
and those around them instantly recognize it.
Their behavior is out of sync with the personal or individual identities
which have come to define them and their relationships and interactions with
those around them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> That’s
not to say, however, that we are necessarily happy or satisfied with who we
are. That’s not to say that we wouldn’t
like to change or improve or that if given the opportunity we wouldn’t have
done things a little differently in the hopes of a better outcome. All of us have looked back and asked, “What
if?” Regardless of any misgivings or
self-doubt, however, by the time we reach adulthood, we know pretty much who we
are. We have a well-defined individual
identity and sense of self-worth. That’s
what gives life a sense of normalcy, well-being, and even a certain level of
predictability. Suppose, however, you
woke up one morning and all of that was gone – just gone. I’ve heard of this phenomenon in cases of
total amnesia which, I understand, is exceedingly rare. Let’s just suppose that this is the
case. You went to bed one night in a
well-defined and ordered world and the next day you had absolutely no memory of
anything or anybody. You don’t recognize
your surroundings and you have no memory of family, friends, or
acquaintances. It’s all gone. You can’t remember where you came from, where
you’ve been, and have absolutely no clue as to who you are or where you’re
going. I really can’t think of too many
scenarios more frightening or devastating than that. You’ve lost who you are and what has defined
you and there’s just no way of getting it back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Without
a past, there can be no future that makes any kind of sense at all. Without a past, nothing is familiar, safe, or
reliable. Without the past, that sense
of individual identity, the future must be a truly frightening and horrific prospect and one to
be dreaded rather than welcomed.
Confusion and uncertainty reign supreme and all semblance of
self-confidence and optimism vanish into the ether. I’ve heard of similar phenomenon experienced
by those poor bastards who have lived through year after year of unrelenting
warfare or perhaps horrific natural disasters.
Their memories may be intact but everything they have known has been
utterly destroyed and everyone who defined their lives is dead or has
disappeared never to be seen or heard from again. They are like ships at sea adrift in
unfamiliar and dangerous waters with no anchor or rudder. They are without direction or purpose and
cannot set a course that will take them anyplace they want to be for they don’t
know where that is or what they might find upon reaching some unknown and
distant shore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
concept of an individual loss of self is relatively easy to grasp and
comprehend because the phenomenon is confined to individuals and those with
whom they associate. It is limited in
scope and time and while it may be truly tragic, it does not normally have an
impact on the larger or collective society.
Is it, however, possible for an entire country to suffer from a loss of
national identity? Can such a thing
actually happen? Can we as a country
forget where we came from, who we are as a people, and where it is that we are
going? Ponder that possibility for a
moment or two and see where it takes you. Is the loss of our collective identity as a
distinct and unique national entity something that can possibly occur? Can an entire nation suffer from some form of
group or collective amnesia in which the past is forgotten, the present
undefinable, and the future is at best unclear, unknowable, and completely
unpredictable? Can an entire country
somehow receive a huge, overwhelming, and devastating whack to the head that
renders it incapable of remembering its past, recognizing its present, or
looking optimistically to the future? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Unfortunately, the answer to these questions is an undeniable and
resounding YES! All one has to do is
remove one’s head from the sand or perhaps pry it loose from your ass, look
around, and the answer becomes more than just a little obvious to those who are
willing to honestly assess the current state of the nation. America is indeed losing its national
identity and character or rather I should more accurately posit that it has
been stolen from us while we blissfully slept the sleep of the apathetic, the
ignorant, and the unwary. The thieves
who have purloined our identity are members of what I have dubbed the LFE
(Liberal Fucking Elite) and the weapon they have relentlessly used against us
is Far Left Liberalism which they wield as expertly as does the woodsman
hefting his double-bladed axe! For the
most part, these Liberals are fellow Americans born, bred, and raised here
whose defining trait is a deep and never ending loathing for this country as
historically founded and presently constituted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have been waging a vicious and ceaseless war on the United States, its
traditions, and institutions since at least FDR’s New Deal which was further
exacerbated by the whole 1960’s phenomenon – easily the most destructive decade
in our history. That war rages on to the
present day and I believe that they are winning hands down. By the time the smoke clears and the dust
settles they will have succeeded in transforming the greatest nation God ever
gave mankind into something it was never intended to be. If our Founding Fathers could but see the
horrific damage they have wrought, they’d be spinning in their graves at warp
speed and demanding a second American Revolution against an over-reaching,
intrusive government which makes that of old King George seem like a utopian
paradise!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

exactly do these Liberal saboteurs object to about the nation that nurtured
them and gave them the freedom to set about destroying it? In a word, everything! All those traits that have historically
defined us as a nation and formed our unique national identity-character are
anathema to them. First and foremost, it
seems to me this country was founded with a tremendous and unbounded sense of
optimism. To even think and dream that
thirteen upstart colonies could actually militarily defeat the greatest, most
formidable war machine on the planet demanded an absolutely unbridled sense of
optimism. Optimism, of course, does not
and cannot exist without a concomitant sense of hope and even in the darkest
days of our Revolution when all seemed lost, that resounding emotion of hope
kept the dream of freedom alive. With
our eventual victory over the British monarchy, optimism and hope were
conjoined with a tremendous and overwhelming sense of confidence in and for the
future. Having defeated Imperial
England, there was simply nothing the new nation couldn’t accomplish. No obstacle was deemed too great and no
problem couldn’t be solved. This was,
after all, the United States of America where no dream was too small and no
aspiration relegated to insignificance.
Optimism, hope, and confidence.
Cornerstones – building blocks – of America’s national identity and
character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Look
around you, sport. Tell me what you
see. How much optimism, hope, and
confidence do you detect out there?
Yeah, that’s what I thought too. Liberalism
has waged an unrelenting and merciless attack on those uniquely American traits
for as long as I can remember – and I go back a ways. The last thing these Bastards want to see is
an America that is optimistic, hopeful, and confident and they’ve been doing
their damndest to destroy any vestige of them as quickly and as permanently as
they can especially under the reign of President Barry Boy! Take a gander at any of the relevant indices
normally employed to gauge the health and vitality of the country. Let’s see, how about the state of employment
or more specifically the lack thereof.
The administration claims – falsely and knowingly – that unemployment
stands at around 6.3% which, by the way, is just a load of happy
horseshit! According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics U-6 number, the unemployment level stands at closer to 13% and
I’ve seen credible studies that put that figure at over 30%! There are now approaching one hundred million
able-bodied Americans who are no longer in the work force but would certainly
like to be. The vast majority of new
jobs created since Obamacare kicked in have been part time as in less than
thirty hours per week because hiring full-timers means the employer must absorb
the prohibitive costs of health care.
The Labor Force Participation Rate is at its lowest level since the
1970’s and something like half of the last five or six years of college
graduates either can’t find employment at all or those jobs they do manage to
secure have nothing whatsoever to do with their primary areas of study or
training. These folks are quickly
running out of hope and optimism and their confidence levels are completely in
the crapper. They no longer believe in
these defining elements of the American national identity or character. They have become overwhelmingly pessimistic
about their futures and very doubtful about realizing what used to be called
the Promise of America or the vaunted American Dream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> This is
exactly what the Liberals amongst us want, desire, need, and demand. They must have a population devoid of hope,
optimism, and confidence. They
absolutely require a pathetically disillusioned and disappointed populace that
has essentially given up and surrendered and are willing to accept their lot as
the oft spoken of, “New Normal.” A
reality of low expectations, lower outcomes, and even lower dreams. These kinds of folks are easily led, swayed,
and persuaded by demagogic promises, empty though they may be. These are the types of folks who either
eagerly or reluctantly turn to government – Big Brother – for solutions and
panaceas. As government dependence
grows, it becomes accepted as normal and so does the loss of freedom that must
by definition accompany that phenomenon.
Current examples of this dependence are easily identifiable and are
growing exponentially. More than fifty
million of us are now on Food Stamps and that number continues to
increase. More and more of our fellow
citizens are opting for almost two years of unemployment insurance and if that
well should ever run dry, they’ll move right into SSDI. More and more Americans are looking for
hand-outs while fewer and fewer of us seem to want to stand up and make it on
our own. These phenomenon are a slap in
the face to America’s traditional national identity and character and many of
us look around at what’s become of our country and simply don’t know where the
fuck we are!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Another
defining element of America’s national identity has been an unwavering belief
in the very real concept of American Exceptionalism that has done so much to
define who we are as a nation and a people.
This sense of exceptionalism has made the United States unique in the
annals of human history for until we came along nothing like us had ever graced
the world stage. Yet today, virtually no
one including the vast number of our fellow citizens have even clue number one
as to its meaning and significance. It
is a completely misunderstood concept and ideal especially by our very own
Loser – in – Chief and his allies among the LFE. Fairly recently, he claimed to recognize the
ideal of American Exceptionalism but went on to state that he was quite certain
Greeks felt that their nation was exceptional as did the Brits and any other
national entity with its own borders, language, and culture. In that sense, he seemed to be saying, that
all nations are exceptional in their own way and therefore American
Exceptionalism was in no way particularly exceptional. Yeah, I know.
That’s kind of tough to follow.
If you doubt this, just review any of Obama’s Apologize For America
Tours in which he consistently and unashamedly takes great pride in bowing and
scraping to the leaders of other nations many of whom are some of the most
brutal dictators on the planet. He
apologizes to the world for our very existence at every turn and extols the
virtues and attributes of anything that is non or un-American like the United
Nations. Our Blowhard – in – Chief has
no concept or clue as to what American Exceptionalism refers to nor does he
understand what it is to be an American.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> American
Exceptionalism has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with us being better
people than anyone else on the planet.
Our genetic makeup, our DNA, or the structure of our chromosomes and
molecules are biologically no better than any other example of Homo Sapien
presently occupying the globe. It has
nothing to do with being inherently superior human beings. It has, however, everything to do with our
system of self-governance and self-rule which has indeed made us exceptional
and unique among all the world’s nations.
Take a look at our Declaration of Independence. Read our Constitution and Bill of Rights and
most importantly remember WHEN they were written and the context under which
they were born. They are undisputed
testimony to the unalterable, immutable fact that America was indeed the lone
exception to the way the world had been governed and ruled since the very
beginning of recorded history. Indeed,
the world had never seen anything like us before because up until that time
nothing like us had ever existed.</span></div>

two choices. Obey or die – that was
pretty much it. Those who were governed
had absolutely nothing to say about how they were governed or who did the
governing. If you were not a member of
the ruling elite, you had no choices and certainly no options. Changing the system by definition meant
fierce and violent revolution against the existing power structure and were
always accompanied by rivers of blood in the streets. There was no other way. This was simply the way of the world and
nothing would ever change that – no way, no how! And then came America and boy did we ever
change the status quo. Talk about
rocking the proverbial boat – well I guess!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> For the
first time in the history of history, the common people actually counted for
something more than just cannon fodder and a source of revenue. We came up with this really weird concept of
unalienable and individual rights, liberty, and freedom. We developed the strange notion that our
rights emanated not from man but from God and, therefore, no mere mortal could
take them away. Mr. Jefferson went so
far as to insist that whenever government attempted to destroy the rights and
freedoms of the people, the people had a solemn duty and obligation to destroy
that government and replace it with another which would protect and preserve
our God-given rights. Can you believe
this radical shit?!? No one spoke that
way back then and no one believed that stuff back then. Except Us!
We became the lone exception to thousands upon thousands of years of
world history and we were damned proud of it!
This is the quintessential definition of American Exceptionalism and it
has been since our inception a keystone of the American national identity and
character. It has defined us as a
people, a nation, and a culture. At the
time, there was no other national entity in the world that held this view and
even today most of the globe is governed by brutal and deadly tyrants, thugs,
and strong men who recognize no authority but their own and to whom the
concepts of freedom and liberty are anathema.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the ones, the only ones, that demanded a limited, small central government
whose power was severely restricted and curtailed. We were the ones who hatched the radical
concept that the individual counted for far more than some distant, far off
anonymous centralized government. Only
us and nobody else! We were the guys who
valued concepts like rugged individualism as well as individual
responsibility. Just us and nobody
else! America was the place, the only
place, where caste and class mattered not a whit and the individual could rise
as far as his natural talents and ambition would take him and where the only
limits to success were almost always those that were self-imposed. All things were possible in America while
they were literally impossible anywhere else on the planet. This is the definition of American
Exceptionalism and it has never been replicated anywhere else on the
globe. The word exceptional does not
come even close to adequately describing the American experience, American
history, and the American legacy to humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

folks, look around you. Tell me what you
see and hear. Do you notice friends,
relatives, and acquaintances talking this way about our country? No, you don’t. Do our young people evince pride in America
and the amazing contributions we have made toward the progress of mankind? Do our young ‘uns learn the history of this
country as it actually unfolded or are they continuously, relentlessly, and
incessantly bombarded with a completely negative and false image and depiction
of the United States purposely designed to stamp out and destroy pride and
patriotism? You already know the answer
if you’re willing to be even a just a little bit honest with yourself. Things like pride and patriotism must be
taught both at home and at school for they are not embedded in our DNA. If they are not taught, then obviously they
can never be learned and then passed on.
Our schools are completely dominated by card-carrying members of the
Liberal Fucking Elite whose main mission in life seems to be turning our young
people against their own country, de-emphasizing feelings of pride and
nationalism in America, and extolling the virtues of all things
anti-American. These home-grown enemies
of our country are indeed responsible for the loss of our nation’s traditional
national identity and character. They
must be fought against and defeated if America is to continue to progress and
prosper. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Yet
another defining element of America’s national identity is our magnificent,
unrivalled socio-economic system of Free Market Capitalism. There are not enough superlatives in the
English language to adequately describe it and the amazing benefits it has
bestowed upon the United States and its citizens. Capitalism has allowed the United States to
become the wealthiest nation in the history of the planet in an amazingly short
period of time. It has also made us the
most powerful and most generous country that the world has ever known. The world has never experienced anything like
it nor will it ever be replicated. Not
surprisingly, this system could only have grown up and flourished in the United
States of America – here and nowhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">
Capitalism, you see, depends on freedom both unfettered and
unblemished. It is a system in which
individuals are free to enter into any legal financial and social arrangement
they choose. It is completely voluntary
in nature and there is absolutely no coercion involved. It is built upon the association of free men
freely engaged in their own economic pursuits.
These individuals – entrepreneurs – are free to take risks and free to
prosper beyond their wildest dreams.
They are also completely free to fail.
In this system, the individual is free to pursue any field of endeavor
regardless of class, gender, race, or ethnicity without interference from some
all-powerful, centralized government.
Capitalism is based upon the wants, needs, and desires of the consumer
and those best able and willing to provide them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Capitalism
has nothing to do with the all too familiar and oppressive top-down systems
normally associated with command and control economies. In these, all economic considerations emanate
from those who control society and dictate to the individual what he or she can
and cannot have or can and cannot do.
Command and control economies are found only in authoritarian or
state-controlled societies where the individual counts for less than nothing
but must be sacrificed on the altar of some nebulous and nefarious thing called
the, “Greater Good.” Systems like these
make slaves, not free men. Systems like
these destroy freedom, initiative, and opportunity. They destroy the human spirit and subjugate
it to the whims, demands, and proclivities of an elite few who have a literal
death grip on the throats of their countrymen.
Conversely, Capitalism unleashes man’s competitive spirit and leads
toward tremendous progress, improvement, and invention like nowhere else in the
world. Under Capitalism, the creative
juices do not merely flow but rather they gush!
Capitalism leaves the individual to his own devices. It allows people the freedom to pursue their
own goals and aspirations with a very minimum of government interference,
obstruction, and malfeasance. Capitalism
creates an environment that allows and encourages the individual to dream and
create and has caused the United States to become the most successful nation
the world has ever seen or will see again. </span></div>

once again, look around you. How is our
Free Market Capitalist System faring under or anti-American Socialist – in - Chief?
It is being systematically and rapidly destroyed and decimated in favor of
a system that has failed miserably everywhere and every time it’s been
tried. El Destructo, for example, has
purposely removed literally trillions of dollars from the private sector and
transferred that wealth to the public sector.
This absolutely destroys the ability of business in our country to
expand, grow, and hire additional employees.
This by definition increases unemployment, increases dependence on
government, and leads to a tremendous loss of productivity, initiative, and
creativity which have been bedrocks of our national identity and character
since our inception. The Sonofabitch –
in – Chief constantly declares that he is fighting mightily and even heroically
to reduce unemployment levels in America while, in fact, every damn policy he
champions has the exact opposite effect.
He is bound and determined to reduce our nation to the level of many
Third World Shitholes where the population is characterized by idleness,
hopelessness, and poverty. This inevitably
leads to a tremendous dependence on government rather than self-reliance,
freedom, and opportunity. These are
utterly destructive to our system of Free Market Capitalism and thus to
American prosperity. It is as inevitable

Medical Arts in the United States the absolute envy of the world. Obama and the Boys are busy nationalizing our
health care system (read that destroying) which has, of course, nothing to do

The Socialists among us have succeeded in taking control of at least
one-sixth of our economy through the Affordable Care Act and once the
government controls your health and access to health care, it effectively
controls your entire life and existence.

no question that the United States is in fact losing its national identity and
is morphing into something that those of us who have reached a certain age no
longer recognize as the nation we grew up in.
There are others out there, by the way, who agree. A piece entitled, “America’s Identity Crisis(<a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com%29/">http://www.washingtontimes.com)</a>,”
explains that, “America’s national identity is being weakened by the spread of
multiculturalism and globalization,” and there is growing concern that,
“American society is increasingly polarized and divided and that knowledge of
the nation’s common heritage and ideals is eroding.” The article notes that according to a study
called the Bradley Project, something like 84% of Americans believe that there
is indeed a unique American national identity.
The piece notes that our nation’s identity is defined as a commitment to
freedom which includes such long recognized American traits as: free speech; freedom of religion; freedom of
opportunity; political freedom; competition; individualism; optimism;
self-reliance; religious faith; and patriotism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and good so far, but the study continues that of those surveyed, “63% maintain
that America’s national identity is growing weaker. 24 percent state that Americans are already
so divided that we can no longer sustain a common identity.” The article continues that most alarming, “is
the result among younger respondents:
those below age 35 are more likely to declare that there is no national
identity. This points to a failure of
the current generation of adults to transmit the nation’s heritage to the
youth.” This, folks, is Liberalism at
work and this is the LFE and our educational system working to purposely to
destroy our country’s traditional national identity and to guarantee that the
young ‘uns are never taught to be an American or the greatness that America
symbolizes and represents. These are
being purposely erased from our collective memory to be replaced with
Liberalism’s assessment and characterization of the evil that is the United
States. The piece concludes that,
“America’s national identity is being systematically and deliberately eroded by
internationalists and multiculturalists who occupy positions of influence. They seek to replace American nationalism
with a globalist agenda.” Indeed, the
author correctly asserts that, “Reclaiming America’s heritage will require the
sustained and determined action of Americans in each community for years to
come.” This is the war between those who
truly love and revere America and the Liberal enemy among us who would destroy
it and tear it down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

explains that a nation is not defined merely by its borders or the boundaries
of its land mass. Rather, “a nation is
defined by adverse people who have been unified by a cause and a value system
and who are committed to a vision for the type of society that they wish to
live in and give to the future generations.”
The piece goes on to insist that the United States has been transformed,
“into a society that no longer resembles its origins.” Read that last one more time slowly and
remember it. We are quickly losing the
basic underpinnings – the building blocks – that America was founded upon and
made it a great country. Our national
identity, our national character, has been sacrificed on the Liberal altar of
anti-Americanism, multiculturalism, globalism, and one-worldism. It’s gotten to the point where such things as

once again has become a hot-button topic in the on-going war between those who
would completely destroy the United States of America and those who would
preserve, nurture, and nourish what is undoubtedly the greatest nation that God
ever gave mankind. This war has been
furiously waged since at least as far back as the 1960’s and continues to rage
unabated. The battle lines are
distinctly and clearly drawn and, to my mind, there are really no “grey” areas
to speak of. Either one recognizes the
essential “goodness” that is America and the amazing contributions we have made
toward the progress of human-kind or one denies it. Either one recognizes the unalterable,
immutable fact that without the United States the world would be in far worse
shape than it now is or one denies it.
One understands that our nation has been a beacon of hope, inspiration, and
optimism for the rest of the world since our founding or one does not. One comprehends that we have been the
exception to the age old rule of tyranny, oppression, and authoritarian
governance that has shackled the world’s population since the beginning of
recorded history or one does not. You
either “get” the concept that liberty and freedom constitute mankind’s natural
state and that our inalienable rights to them cannot be taken away by mere
mortals in the guise kings, dictators, and statists or you do not. There really is no middle ground here and no
room for equivocation. You either

trend the result of some sort of natural evolution or perhaps just an accident
of fate? Is it merely a quirk, a blip on

and by design and is being perpetrated by American citizens who just happen to
despise this country and all that it stands for and represents. They are called Liberals and Liberalism,
obviously, is their creed and ideology.
They are anti-American in the extreme and wish this country nothing but
harm. They want the United States
brought to its knees and believe that we are nothing less than evil incarnate
and have done no more than wreak havoc on the rest of the world to achieve our
own nefarious ends and purposes. The
most hard-core of these are what I have dubbed the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite)
and they are nothing more than authoritarian statists who have no respect or
love for this country, its history, or its citizens. They view themselves as the Enlightened Ones
to whom the rest of us little folk owe our fealty, allegiance, and blind obedience. They are to be unquestionably obeyed and
never doubted. They know far better than
we how to run our lives for they deem us as no more than incompetent,
half-bright children incapable of making sound and rational decisions for
ourselves, our families, and of course our country. We exist only to rubber stamp their desires
and dictates and they have absolutely no interest in what we deem appropriate
or essential on either a personal or national level. They are condescending and patronizing and
believe that like children, we should be seen and not heard and that, in fact,
we should be seen as infrequently as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pre-K right through college and university.
By the time our young ones have reached early adulthood, they have been
thoroughly, effectively, and irredeemably brainwashed by the LFE. They have been taught not to think
independently or creatively but rather to obey and follow. Their minds have been dulled by the incessant
Liberal propaganda and lies that have been drilled into them for decades at the

amnesty for tens upon tens of millions of foreign nationals who have absolutely
no business being in America. The fact
that their very first act and encounter with the United States violates federal

Emigrating to the United States is a privilege not a right and should be
granted only to those foreigners whom we deem worthy enough to permanently reside, live, and work here. Immigration’s ultimate goal is to benefit our
country. Immigrants must add to and not
detract from a host nation’s efforts to progress, achieve, and prosper. Immigration should not first and foremost be
designed and crafted to benefit the lives of the newcomers but rather to
promote America’s national interests and goals.
This, of course, had been the case right up until the time that fat
drunk from Massachusetts and his fellow Liberal saboteurs torpedoed our nation
with the Immigration Act of 1965. That
single piece of legislation initiated the debacle that has become America’s
immigration policy and it’s only getting worse – much worse – with the passage
of time. Previously, the overwhelming
majority of our newcomers came from Western Europe and therefore had much more
in common with America’s culture, heritage, and traditions. Assimilation for those folks was not all that
difficult once they had mastered the obvious language barrier and this usually
took place within one generation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

became a threat to America’s way of life, our cohesion as a nation, and our
historical role in the world. We could
now accept no more than fifteen percent of the total number of immigrants from
Western Europe. The other 85% were to
come from Third World nations with little or no experience at self-rule and
government. Most came from nations where
the citizenry had no choices and no freedoms and the concept of any form of
democracy was something they had never experienced. They had forever been ruled by monarchs,
dictators, and other authoritarian types who didn’t and couldn’t recognize the
concept of individual and inalienable rights.
Post 1965 immigrants overwhelmingly came from nations where a huge,
intrusive central government controlled all aspects of life from cradle to
grave and the idea of a limited government was simply unfathomable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

absolutely no desire to assimilate and become Americans. They insist on retaining their own customs,
habits, and culture and view themselves as citizens of their home-nations
simply living abroad. They are more than
willing to accept our generosity and come with open hands ready to rake in the
goodies provided by the American taxpayer but feel they owe us nothing in
return including their loyalty. They absolutely
refuse to assimilate and in far too many instances don’t even learn the

According to the Oxford Dictionary of Current English, amnesty is
defined as, “an official pardon,” and a, “period during which people admitting
to particular offenses are not prosecuted.”
Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus defines amnesty simply as
“pardon” which in my mind equates to forgiveness. One can only be forgiven after having
committed a criminal act or some other behavior deemed unacceptable by society
at large. Improperly crossing our
borders is by definition a criminal act and yet to those on the Far Left it’s
just not that big a deal. After all,
they’ll tell you, borders are only artificial lines drawn on a map but have no
real meaning or application in the real world.
Once again, they lie. They know
full well that once a country loses control of its borders it ceases to be a
sovereign nation and has taken the first step down the road of self-destruction,
ruin, and chaos. Can anyone say ancient
Rome? If the Liberals remain in charge
of our immigration policies and if amnesty is in fact granted to tens upon tens
of millions of people who don’t belong here then the United States will
effectively cease to exist as a viable national entity and the ensuing chaos
will make the old Balkan disaster seem like a Sunday school picnic (see the
Balkanization of America Rant of 3/20/13)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Excusing
or pardoning criminal, illegal behavior will only beget more of the same and
will certainly embolden more illegals to cross our borders and invade our
nation – and make no mistake, it is an invasion. Amnesty will not ameliorate the problems of
illegal immigration but instead will only exacerbate and amplify them. A piece entitled, “Amnesty Will Cause Illegal
Immigration To Explode (</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><a href="http://www.teaparty.org%29/">http://www.teaparty.org</a>)</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
explains that the, “1986 amnesty led to a sharp increase in illegal immigration,
which will happen again under the current proposals,,” and that the, “numbers
of illegal immigrants in the U.S. have more than doubled since the last time
Congress granted immigration amnesty in 1986, a trend which will continue if
current amnesty proposals become law.”
Anyone who disagrees with this simple statement either doesn’t
understand human nature or, in fact, understands it all too well. People will always take advantage of a
situation if it works to their advantage.
Not to do so defies all logic and common sense. For the most part, those emigrating to
America are not happy campers or they’d stay put in their home countries. At present, those coming here are the poorest,
least educated, and least skilled of the nations from which they hail. Life here even at the bottom of the
socio-economic ladder is infinitely better than what they are used to. Why wouldn’t they continue to stream across
our borders if they know their transgressions are likely to be forgiven by
those among us who refuse to recognize our own sovereignty and the very real
threat that millions upon millions of unassimilated foreigners represent to the
social fabric that once bound us together and unified us as Americans? The piece points out that, “Immigration in itself
is not a bad thing, but currently big government advocates are giving illegal
immigrants taxpayer funded benefits such as welfare and healthcare in order to
ensure their support for authoritarian politicians who work against the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights.”
Additionally, “they want amnesty so they accelerate the immigration of
people into the U.S. who are used to living in poverty under tyrannical regimes
with very few rights.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

last point is key to understanding those who clamor for amnesty for
illegals. For the most part, they are
our Liberal Elites who want to grant illegals that so-called “pathway to
citizenship” which will allow them to vote and the overwhelming majority of
them will vote for Democrats who allowed them to come here, legalized their
trespass, and then showered them with all kinds of goodies at the expense of
the hard working taxpayer. Most of us
know that there already exists a pathway to citizenship in our country and it
is the legal immigration process in which our laws are respected and obeyed
rather than openly flaunted and violated.
Haven’t we all heard of the process known as Naturalization by which
someone from another country can become a U.S. citizen? Of course we have and we know that in order
to avail oneself of the privilege of American citizenship certain rules and
regulations must be followed. The very
first of them is, obviously, to come to this country legally, not criminally. Anyone who will not or cannot abide by the
rules must not be allowed in and should be removed as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

state of border protection and preservation, damn near anyone and everyone who
cares to can breach those borders anytime they choose. The America-hating Obama Administration and
its Far Left allies are part of the Open Borders crowd who absolutely believe
that the very concept of national borders to protect national sovereignty
smacks of nationalism – even jingoism – that simply do not fit their template

the absolute truth that in this country an individual could rise as far as his
talents and ability could take him and the only limits on one’s success were
almost always those that were self-imposed.
These concepts and ideas were key in the development of the American

to grant amnesty to the tens of millions of illegals who reside here, have no

you removing all the doors and windows from your home. We know that within a very short period, your

Assimilation, of course, is key.
There have been periods in our history when large numbers of immigrants
came here looking for a better life.
These periods, however, were normally followed by longer ones where
immigration slowed to a trickle. This
allowed the latest group of newcomers to actually become Americans not merely
foreign nationals living on our soil.
They became Americans in fact and in spirit and the vast majority became
citizens as soon as the law allowed.
Since 1965, however, when we simply opened the flood gates assimilation
has become all but impossible. We are

power in the future.” Read that as the

that those on the Far Left always accuse their enemies of doing exactly what
they themselves are guilty of. It’s a
basic tenet of the Liberal Playbook and is designed to place their opponents on
the defensive and force them to defend positions that really require no defense
at all. Those who agree with me do have
compassion, we are chocked full of the stuff, and our compassion knows no
bounds! We have compassion for our
country, for the land that we love and wish to preserve! We have compassion for American citizens who
are being hurt and endangered in so many ways because of unfettered and uncontrolled immigration to our shores! We have tons of compassion for those
foreigners who came here and did it by the numbers and we have an overwhelming
high regard and respect for those newcomers who became naturalized American
citizens! This is compassion. We feel extremely compassionate toward those
ninety-plus million Americans who are no longer in the work force but would
like to be! Our compassion for those
Americans whose jobs have been taken-stolen by illegals is boundless! We have unflagging compassion for all those
young Americans just starting out who cannot find entry level positions and
thus begin their working lives because those jobs have been filled by illegals
who will work for a mere pittance! And
we, of course, have an overwhelming measure of compassion for the country that
we love and cherish and are angered and frustrated by those who would tear it
down and destroy it! These would be the
Far Left Liberals amongst us coupled with those RINO’s (Republican in Name
Only) who are their wiling allies. For
those types, I have utterly no compassion whatsoever. For them I feel only contempt, anger, and
animus!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The
concept of identifying, apprehending, and deporting those amongst us who do not
belong here, by the way, is nothing new and dates back to the Eisenhower
Administration of the 1950’s. The
overwhelming majority of American citizens all those years ago had absolutely
no difficulty in accepting the idea that people residing in America illegally
should unquestionably and unceremoniously be banished from the realm because
they were violating American law and harming our nation. There was no thought of blanket amnesty or
mass forgiveness. The only concern was
the harm illegal immigration was doing to this nation and the best and most
efficient methods for correcting that problem.
A piece entitled, “If Obama’s Amnesty Goes Through, Within 5 Years,
America Is Finished (</span><a href="http://www.newswithviews.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">www.newswithviews.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
explains that, “there is no need for another phony, deceptive reform law. Congress after Congress after Congress, many
of them the same dirt bags in office over the decades, haven’t made any serious
effort to lock down the borders or do what Eisenhower did: deport millions of illegals.” It can be done, it has been done, and it must
be done again. So why hasn’t it been
done?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of humanity or compassion but rather it’s all about pandering and winning the
next election. What’s good and right for
America is the farthest thing from their minds.
Rather, what’s good and right for them is first, foremost, and above all
else. They don’t seem to represent or
speak for the beleaguered American citizen and those immigrants who are here
legally. Those who clamor for massive or
blanket amnesty can in no way be deemed patriotic Americans but instead are
saboteurs utterly and completely aware of both the intended and unintended
consequences of their attitudes and actions.
They serve only to weaken our country and undermine our ability to do
what is in the best interests of the United States and its citizens whom they
are elected to represent, protect, and defend!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

deals with the same topic. Author
Patrick J. Buchanan explains that during, “President Eisenhower’s first term,
60 years ago, the United States faced an invasion across its southern border,”
and noted that while illegal aliens had been coming here since World War ll,
“suddenly the number was over 1 million.
Crime was rising in Texas. The
illegals were taking the jobs of U.S. farm workers.” The problem of illegal immigration, then, is
obviously nothing new but unlike today the solution was obvious and singularly
effective. Back then, “The Immigration
and Naturalization Service launched Operation Wetback and began rounding up and
deporting Mexican border-crossers by ship and by sea. By the end of Ike’s second term, illegal
entries had fallen by 90 percent.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> By the
way, can you imagine the reaction to anyone today who could even conceive of
let alone publicly advocate something called “Operation Wetback”? No one, but no one, has the BALLS to even
think it let alone say it right out loud in front of God and everyone. His personal and public life would come to a
screeching and screaming halt, he would be villified as a bigot and racist, he
would achieve instant pariah status, and the death threats would overwhelm
dozens of hard drives. Yet, for all of
its political incorrectness Operation Wetback was a tremendous success and
achieved its goal of drastically reducing the numbers of illegals coming to
America thereby relieving many of the social, economic, and political problems
attendant with massive numbers of illegal aliens inundating our nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

replicate something similar today?
Absolutely not! It has nothing to
do with logistics or the mechanics of such an operation because it can be
accomplished and it can be done efficiently and expeditiously. It will, however, not be done because we no
longer have the will or the fortitude to do it.
We have seemingly become a nation of cowards deathly afraid of offending
anybody and everybody even if it means the outcome is dangerous and harmful to
the country. We are afraid of standing
up for our own national interests and putting the good of America first and
foremost, above all else. The very
thought of being labeled a racist or xenophobe leaves most Americans absolutely
paralyzed with fear and guilt even though there is no reason for it. Most of our politicians – our so-called
leaders - are nothing more than craven cowards no matter what side of the aisle
they occupy, and those of us out here who want to solve the problem of illegal
immigration and regain control of our borders and sovereignty just grow more
frustrated and angry as a very solvable problem only worsens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Buchanan
continues that measured, “by population and gross national product,
Eisenhower’s America was but half the size of today’s America. Yet, in the 1950’s, we were in many ways a
stronger and more self-confident country.”
In fact, we were supremely confident and sure of ourselves and we were
unified as one people influenced and informed by our common heritage, customs,
culture, and institutions. We were proud
of who and what we were. Anything deemed
harmful to America’s continued progress was simply not tolerated but was dealt
with swiftly, surely, and decisively.
The piece notes that, “as for the deportation of the Mexicans, they had
broken in, they did not belong here, and they were going back. End of discussion.” Yeah sure, we’ll be told. That was then and this is now and such
simplistic solutions no longer apply and cannot work in the ever-so
sophisticated and complex America that is our country in 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

simply no longer stand and we need new solutions for a new era. We must write a new chapter in American
history which might be appropriately titled, “Amnesty Destroys: How Americans Sold Out Their Country For More
Votes And Cheap Labor.” The author
explains that in this Age of American Gutlessness, “we are to stop using terms
like illegal aliens, we are told. For it
shows insensitivity. And compassion
commands that we bring these folks out of the shadows and put them on a path to
citizenship.” Well, I agree. I too want these illegals brought out of the
shadows into the light of day so we can identify them and ROUND THEM UP! I would like nothing more than to put them on
a path – one that leads right back to wherever the Hell they came from! How’s that for compassion and sensitivity? Mr. Buchanan concludes by asking a
particularly relevant question and one that folks like me have been pondering
for years. He asks, “What happened to
putting our own country and people first?”
Yeah, I guess that’s just another one of those quaint notions that no
longer fit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

understand the myriad problems posed to this country by the flood of illegals
that pour virtually unmolested across our borders. We are all aware of the horrific effects that
those hordes have had and will continue to have on the United States and the
absolute threat they represent to our sovereignty and way of life. Yet far too many amongst us favor granting
amnesty to these people despite the drain they represent to our economy, our
social services apparatus, our legal and penal systems, our educational system,
our political system, and so much more.
A piece entitled, “Illegal Immigration Problems (</span><a href="http://www.illegalimmigration.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.illegalimmigration.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
catalogues only a partial list of those problems including but not limited
to: American job loss; depreciation of
American wages; theft and depreciation of American taxpayer resources; overburdening
healthcare resources; overburdening court and jail resources; illegal gangs and
violence; identity theft; document fraud; aggressive political demands;
supporting criminal culture; attracting more illegal immigrants to America;
creating ethnic cleansing zones; engaging in human trafficking; increasing
prostitution; degrading public sanitation; bypassing medical and contagious
disease checks legal immigrants go through.
Remember, this constitutes but a partial list – merely the tip of the
iceberg. And yet, the debate over
amnesty still rages throughout the land.
With all of the known deleterious effects of amnesty-open borders, there
are still far too many in our midst who want it to become our nation’s official
policy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

folks, just as there exists precedent for mass deportation of those who don’t
belong here, so too exist precedent for granting them amnesty. It is really nothing new and goes back to
1986. A piece entitled, “Amnesty for
Illegal Aliens (</span><a href="http://www.theamericanresistance.com%29/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">http://www.theamericanresistance.com)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
explains that in 1986, “Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act
(IRCA), which gave amnesty to all illegal aliens who had evaded law enforcement
for at least four years or were working illegally in agriculture.” This act was supposedly a one-time deal only
that resulted in a blanket amnesty for about three million illegals. Predictably, however, this act merely primed
the pump for additional amnesties shortly thereafter. Next we get the Amnesty Act of 1994 which was
a temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens which was followed by
the Extension of Amnesty Act of 1997 which extended the 1994 rolling
amnesty. This was followed the same year
by the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act which pardoned
nearly one million illegals from Nicaragua.
In 1998, we see the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act which
granted forgiveness for some 125,000 illegals from Haiti. Two years later we see The Late Amnesty of
2000 Act for roughly 400,000 illegals who felt they should have received
amnesty back in 1986. Finally, we get
The Life Amnesty of 2000 Act which granted amnesty to approximately 900,000
additional folks who were here illegally.
Talk about giving away the store – well I guess!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Still, the
debate rages on. The Democrats claim
they have enough turn-coat Republicans in the House of Representatives to get
an amnesty bill passed which will, of course, be rubber-stamped by the Democrat
controlled Senate. The President will
then sign it and blanket amnesty will become the law of the land. This, it seems to me, will spell the end of
the United States and will signal America’s irreversible descent into permanent
Third Worldism from which there will be no escape. This is exactly what those on the Far Left
want. Those of the LFE have been
assiduously working toward this end for decades and they are so close to
realizing their goal that they seem to actually salivate at the very prospect
of success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

would happen, I wonder, if by some absolute miracle, some return to sanity and
a rekindling of our instinct for survival the proposed Democrat blanket amnesty
bill was rejected by the Republican controlled House of Representatives? I’m not at all expecting this outcome for I
firmly believe that House Republicans will predictably cave to the pressures
from the pro-amnesty forces among us.
What, however, would happen if these weak-kneed, jelly-spined, unprincipled
buffoons actually grew a set, did the right thing for America, and rejected a
blanket amnesty bill? Nothing,
absolutely nothing. We’d have amnesty
shoved down our throats anyway regardless of how many Americans don’t want it,
oppose it, and realize just how dangerous it would be for our national
interests. You see, Obama doesn’t give a
shit about what the American people want or what we deem important to the
future of the United States. Remember,
we are not deemed capable or competent enough to make decisions regarding the
future of the country. That weighty task
must be reserved only to those of our Far Left Elite who, in their infinite
wisdom, shall decide how the rest of us will live our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

perhaps remember what our anti-American – in – Chief said the last time he faced
serious Congressional opposition to one of his endless schemes to further
weaken the United States? He arrogantly
insisted that he did not require approval from either Congress or the American
people because he had his phone and his pen!
The phone would be used to intimidate and threaten possible opponents
and the pen, of course, would be employed to sign yet another Executive Order
which has the force of law. We’ll simply
get amnesty by fiat. It’ll get shoved
down our throats regardless of how many American don’t want it! A piece entitled, “Did President Obama Grant

article goes on to note that the Saboteur – in –Chief issued yet another policy
directive, “granting amnesty by default.
This latest directive instructs Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) officials not to enforce immigration laws in cases where an illegal alien
is the primary provider for any minor child – regardless of that child’s
immigration status – or the parent or guardian of a child who is a U.S. citizen
or a legal permanent resident.” Did you
catch that? Our very own Chief Executive
has told his people to ignore existing laws and statutes that are already on
the books! This, by the way, constitutes
an impeachable offense. Our Presidents
are not supposed to break our laws but, hey, it’s Obama and he has always
placed himself above the law as befits his elite status! The piece continues that, “President Obama
has once again abused his authority and unilaterally refused to enforce our
current immigration laws by directing U.S. Customs and Enforcement agents to
stop removing broad categories of unlawful immigrants.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

or another, folks, blanket amnesty is coming.
If Obama can get it done through the normal, accepted legislative
process he will. If he can’t however,
that will certainly not stop him. He
will undoubtedly issue an Executive Order mandating blanket amnesty and once
again the will of the American people and the welfare of the United States will
have not only been ignored but virtually destroyed. A piece entitled, “GOP Lawmakers Warn of

sums it up succinctly and accurately by noting that, “Any attempt to force an
amnesty on the American people using this underhanded method smacks of
despotism.” Do you for one moment
believe that this will cause Obama and those on the Far Left even one sleepless
night?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Super Bowl, this thing called the Stanley Cup does absolutely nothing for me, and
the entire NBA phenomenon is a total yawn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I do not watch sporting events, don’t discuss them, and would certainly
never bet money on them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I despise large
crowds, don’t like noise, and traffic renders me virtually apoplectic so the
prospects of my actually attending a live sporting event are less than
nil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am viewed by my peers, not to
mention my family, as something of a misfit in this regard but somehow they
manage to put up with me as that old guy who’s just a bit off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do,
however, find the concept of the sports “fan” to be not only fascinating but
one of life’s unfathomable mysteries. The idea that there exist out there so
many individuals whose passions are so aroused and inflamed by watching others
perform, in my view, a completely meaningless endeavor is something I’ll never
be able to comprehend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I hear about
Yankee and Red Sox fans literally beating the living snot out of one another
over an umpire’s call leaves me scratching my head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I read about riots and arson occurring
after a team actually WON a major sporting event and took home the coveted
trophy, I am left speechless and for me this is no small feat (for some reason
the cesspool of a city called Detroit comes to mind).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I learned some years ago that a soccer
goalie was actually murdered by fans because the poor Bastard let one get by
him thus causing the team to lose some damned fool championship or other, I am
bewildered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When enjoying a libation at
my favorite watering hole, and fights break out because some fan wandered in
guilty of wearing the wrong jersey I am forced to wonder at the utter
shallowness of the lives led by those participating in the mayhem, bruising,
and bloodletting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But hey, that’s just
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suffice it to say that when someone
like myself actually hears about and even remembers something that is sports
related, it must have made quite the impression and goes far beyond the
significance of the silly game under consideration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever occurred to grab my attention made
it far past the sports pages of the local tabloids and probably became the lead
offering on our Eyewitness News for more than just a few days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

finding out about the current plans our Socialist-in-Chief (Old Hope &

I kept running across the name Donald Sterling, I was completely
flummoxed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who in the Hell is this guy
and what in the Hell did he do to garner so damned much negative
publicity?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It must have been something
so outlandish, bizarre, and atrocious as to rise to the level of genocide, cult
murder, or child molestation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This guy
must represent nothing less than evil incarnate and should at the very least be
banished from the realm never to be seen or heard from again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who in the Hell is this guy and why does
everyone hate, loathe, and despise the Bastard?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well as
most folks know, it turns out that he is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers,
a professional basketball team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact,
I discovered that he has held that esteemed position for something over thirty
years which I’m told is some sort of a record. Bully for him!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s also an octogenarian and, of course, a
billionaire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sounds to me like a rich
guy who needed a hobby with which to amuse himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I suppose owning a professional sports
franchise could be amusing and take up enough time to keep busy in life’s
so-called “Golden Years.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What terrible
crime, horrific fopa, could this old rich guy have committed to draw such
attention to himself and his team?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
seems that in the privacy of his own home – not in public – he told his
extremely attractive and very young girlfriend (hey, ain’t that always the
way?) that he preferred that she not bring any black folks to the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the admittedly little research I have done,
that was it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He used no pejoratives, the
dreaded “N” word did not pass his lips, and he did not demand the repeal of the
13<sup>th</sup>, 14<sup>th</sup>, and 15<sup>th</sup> Amendments to our
Constitution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also did not opine on
the various Civil Rights Acts of the 1960’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the privacy of his own abode, he expressed a personal preference to
his mistress who I subsequently learned is of mixed race and had taped the
remarks at his own request.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

apparently the Broad (Oops – hope the Now Gang doesn’t get wind of this!)
couldn’t keep her mouth shut and that was, as they say, all she wrote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shit hit the fan big time and this poor,
old white Schmuck (oh, did I mention that Sterling is a white guy?) found
himself engulfed in the firestorm of the ages!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He has been banned from the NBA for life, fined millions of dollars, and

suppose for a moment that the particulars of the situation could be slightly
altered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s imagine that this old,
rich, white, big-mouthed asshole had suggested to his lady-friend that he
didn’t want any white guys brought into his house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you think that would have caused such a
giant brouhaha?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s further
hypothesize that a black team owner had expressed a preference that no white
folks be allowed to cross his threshold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Do you think that would have even raised an eyebrow or warranted an
outraged op-ed somewhere?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s really
go off the deep end here and suggest that the aforementioned theoretical black
team owner objected to the presence of other black guys being brought to his
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you really think that this
scenario would have resulted in the ultimate shit-storm that our Mr. Sterling
now has to endure?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all know the
answers here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And please don’t
misunderstand me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I agree that the
gentleman in question has thus far deserved all the notoriety and criticism he
faces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps because his remarks were insensitive
and maybe even racist or bigoted?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How about because he
violated a long-standing rule that any savvy ten year old kid has thoroughly
learned:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>KEEP YOUR BIG FUCKIN’ MOUTH
SHUT!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had our Mr. Sterling observed said
rule, the resulting silly shit would never have come to pass, the Jacksons,

peace and quiet would have reigned supreme.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

noooo, The Mouth That Roared let ‘er rip and here we are relearning one of the
most basic lessons of 21<sup>st</sup> Century America:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>if thou art white, thou shalt not in any
manner or form criticize or otherwise disparage any minority, person(s) of
color, or member of any allegedly oppressed group or class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just don’t fucking do it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It matters not that expressing such views,
especially in private, is in no way illegal and does not violate any statute
anywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Forget the fact that people –
even misguided idiots – are no longer free to freely speak for fear of (GASP)
hurting someone’s feelings, and don’t worry even just a tad that this will
initiate or precipitate some action or measure by our government which has
already become far too large, intrusive, and unwieldy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no law against insulting people or
hurting their feelings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no law
against disliking certain groups and having no desire to associate with them
and there aren’t even any laws that prohibit people from holding racist
views.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The law, of course, should kick
in when those who hold such views act upon them and actually harm those they
dislike or even hate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To outlaw
discrimination may be worthy and perhaps even necessary, but to outlaw
prejudice is just not possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To
outlaw dark thoughts is the height of arrogance whereas outlawing dark deeds is
absolutely necessary for the continued existence of anything even remotely
resembling a civil society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

loud-mouthed old fool deserve the notoriety and utter contempt he currently
receives?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hell yes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He completely failed to gauge or comprehend
the climate in which we currently live in the United States in 2014 and he is

exist literally many millions upon millions upon millions of white people
running around out here who are actually scared to death of speaking their
minds for fear of offending some minority thereby being branded as
racists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to be a combination of
fear, cowardice, and self-preservation that causes the majority of those living

mistake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Political Correctness is indeed
helping to fundamentally transform America (to coin a phrase) and it is harmful
in the extreme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we live in fear of
what we may say or think it forces us to self-censure, creates an atmosphere of
distrust and even paranoia, and literally changes the way we behave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you have any idea, for example, of how
many white Americans voted for that disgrace who now occupies the White
House?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither do I, but the numbers
must run into at least the tens of millions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These folks were afraid of being accused of racism if they admitted
voting for the white candidate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
no more than Political Correctness rearing its ugly head and yet it is such a
powerful force in our country that a completely inexperienced, irrelevant, and
wrong-headed “Community Organizer” twice got elected to the highest office in
the land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It absolutely boggles the mind
until we remember that since at least the 1960’s, this nation has been taught
to cow-tow and cave to our nation’s minorities for fear of being labeled. We
have been conditioned, brainwashed if you will, into making all sorts of
excuses and caveats for those among us who have achieved the exalted status of
the “oppressed”, while white America cowers and cringes at the prospect of
being deemed the “oppressor”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
no question that Political Correctness is a contributing factor in the
destruction of the United States as historically founded and presently
constituted because it is, in the end, an attack on our freedom and
liberty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are no longer free to speak
our minds for fear of recriminations and sanctions that will be heaped upon us
by the Politically Correct Fascists in our midst.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And make no mistake, Political Correctness is
indeed a form of Fascism-Totalitarianism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is an undisguised attempt to control language in the United States
which is an essential requirement and prelude for the next logical step:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>controlling what we think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the PC crowd can successfully force us to
limit our speech, then how free are we?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For examples of this phenomenon, one only has to look at what one of the
most accomplished, brightest, and productive women in American history was
recently forced to endure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students
and faculty at Rutgers University refused to allow this Conservative black woman
to speak at that supposedly renowned institute of higher learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those authoritarian assholes apparently could
not tolerate hearing anything or anybody who strayed even slightly from the
sanctioned and approved PC-Liberal rhetoric and mindset.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s uniquely un-American and yet it is accepted
practice at virtually all of our colleges and universities where I thought
freedom of expression and thought were highly prized commodities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Want to try an experiment?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Walk into any college cafeteria or student
union and out loud in front of God and everybody criticize – even slightly –
President Barry Boy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll be run out
of town on the proverbial rail!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
colleges and universities, it appears, are no longer interested in the quest
for truth or enlightenment but rather in the creation of a PC world in which
only the Far Left Orthodoxy is permitted and tolerated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

article entitled, "The Role of Educators in Destroying (http://capitalismmagazine.com)," </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> author Thomas Sowell explains that American educators have played a leading,
“role in creating a mindset that undermines American society.”</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Whereas schools, “were once thought of as
places where a society’s knowledge and experience were passed on to the younger
generation,” the role of the teacher has morphed into, “an agent of change –
someone strategically placed, with an opportunity to condition students to want
a different kind of society.”</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">He
continues that, “we are seeing schools across America indoctrinating students
to believe in all sorts of politically correct notions.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The history that is taught in too many of our
schools is a history that emphasizes everything that has gone bad, or can be
made to look bad, in America – and that gives little, if any, attention to the
great achievements of this country.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sowell
notes that educators have been, “poisoning the minds of millions of students in
schools and colleges against their own country,” and that while teachers
actually believe themselves to be agents of change there exists not even the,
“slightest accountability for whether that change turns out to be for the
better or for the worse – or indeed, catastrophic.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The writer goes on to note that, “even in the
face of mortal danger, political correctness forbids us to use terms like
‘terrorist’ when the approved euphemism is militant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Milder terms such as illegal alien likewise
cannot pass the political correctness test, so it must be replaced by another euphemism,
undocumented worker.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He concludes his
piece by correctly pointing out that, “some think that we must tiptoe around in
our own country, lest some foreigner living here or visiting here be offended
by the sight of an American flag or a Christmas tree in some institutions.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

also examines the effects of current-day pedagogy as it relates to Political Correctness,
multiculturalism, and diversity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Whenever, by the way, you see these three terms routinely bandied about
be aware that you are in the presence of a True Believer and a member of the
Far Left Elite who thoroughly despise anything and everything about this
country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The author correctly notes that
at the foundation of the PC movement in America, “is the belief that all
education is political.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nowhere in the
curriculum can one find a hiding place from race, class, or gender
issues.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, author Don
Closson cites the dependence upon moral relativism that is one of the
underpinnings of Political Correctness in our country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The PC among us truly believe that, “All
systems of thought, all cultures are equal in value,” and that to, “assume

and disparage Western and American culture which the Left has been engaged in
for at least half a century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the
young and impressionable can be convinced that our culture is no better than
any others that exist out there, then the Politically Correct Mob has won the
battle of both hearts and minds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
schools for decades have been engaged in belittling and demeaning our
distinctly American culture and have succeeded in creating generations of young
‘uns who actively dislike and disparage their own nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am firmly convinced that this is the Hope
& Change that old Barry Boy is looking to foster and his promise to
fundamentally transform America is well on the way to being fulfilled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Closson notes that at our so-called institutions of learning, “Curricula,
admissions policies, the hiring and promotion of faculty, and the freedom to
debate issues have all been modified by those who currently define political
correctness.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, “There is a
growing body of evidence that quota systems are now in place in many admissions
offices across the country,” and that, “Textbooks are being written and courses
changed to promote multiculturalism at the expense of teaching about Western
Civilization.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Freedom of speech at our
colleges and universities only exists if said speech and speakers are deemed
Politically Correct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just ask Condaliza
Rice, Anne Coulter, or perhaps Sarah Palin if you have any doubts here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The author points out that at the University
of Michigan, restrictions on freedom of speech have been codified and
institutionalized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We note that a, “new
policy on discrimination and discriminatory harassment has been approved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It defines as punishable, “any behavior,
verbal or physical, that stigmatizes or victimizes an individual on the basis
of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, creed, national origin,
ancestry, age, marital status, handicap, or Vietnam-era veteran status.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Message from those fine folks at the good old
U of M?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shut The Fuck Up!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless, of course, you feel like picking on
white males for then you are on solid, unimpeachable PC grounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The piece concludes by stating that the
upshot of the PC movement, “has been to encourage people to find some reason to
declare oppression, for it seems that only those who are oppressed are in a
position to determine what is politically correct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>White, middleclass males are the great Satan
incarnate – even the most repentant among them must be watched closely.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

raised not an eyebrow or an objection anywhere, and offended absolutely no one.

mushy and meaningless, “Happy Holidays,” or, “Seasons Greetings,” so as to make
sure no minority feathers are even slightly ruffled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Public displays of Christmas trees or nativity

America (</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0563c1;"><a href="http://www.infowars.com%29/">http://www.infowars.com</a>)</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">,”
is highly illustrative in this regard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The author begins with the simple but accurate statement that,
“Political correctness is running rampant, and it is absolutely destroying this
nation.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article notes that according
to Wikipedia the whole idea is the establishment of, “a reduced language
created by the totalitarian state as a tool to limit free thought, and concepts
that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression,
individuality . . . .” and that, “any form of thought alternative to the
party’s construct is classified as a thought crime.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well now, that’s just a little bit extreme
don’t you think?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Am I suggesting that this

Politically Correct in our midst can effectively control what comes out of our
mouths, controlling what goes into our heads can’t be too far behind and if our
school systems are used as a measuring rod and teachers are now perceived of as
agents of change, then thought control is all but a given in the United States
and freedom and liberty are indeed at risk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Writer Michael Snyder offers up numerous examples of the dangers that
political correctness poses to our nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He notes that a rodeo clown was permanently barred from performing at
the Missouri State Fair because he wore an Obama mask while on the job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All such clowns are now being forced to
undergo sensitivity training.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yeah, I
guess we musn’t make fun of the nation’s first Brother-in-Chief for fear of
being deemed offensive, politically incorrect, insensitive, or racist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet I notice no one raising a stink when some
Liberal Puke runs around on Halloween sporting a Reagan or George W mask.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The same
piece informs us that government workers in Seattle may no longer use the words
“citizen” or “brown bag” because non-citizens and non-whites may find them
offensive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, Obama and the
Boys have banned government agencies from producing material that links Islam
to terrorism and even the venerable FBI has removed references to Islam and
terrorism from older documents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact,
according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, it is illegal for
employers to discriminate against criminals because that might have an overly
negative impact on minorities in this country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The author informs us that U.S. Army Chaplains are now forced to perform
gay marriages even if that violates the very core of their faith, and that
according to a new Army manual our soldiers must avoid any criticism or
negative comments on the subject of pedophilia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It seems that a student at Sonoma State University was forced to remove
a cross she habitually wore because it might offend someone and a student at
Florida Atlantic University was banned from attending class because he refused
to stomp on the name of Jesus which was apparently a mandatory part of a course
he was taking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ridiculous, petty, and even childish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When taken as a whole, however, they are anything but.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They represent an undisguised attack on our
First Amendment rights and a totalitarian-authoritarian mindset that will brook
no behavior or attitude that violates the tenets of Political Correctness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The price to be paid for overstepping the
bounds can lead at the very least to a loss of standing in one’s community, a
loss of employment, and certainly to a loss of freedom and opportunity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Political Correctness, then, is a direct frontal
assault on cherished American traditions like individual responsibility,
freedom of expression, and freedom from fear. It is an attempt not only to
change this country but to destroy it from within.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It erodes that sense of confidence and
optimism which are cornerstones of the American experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are replaced, instead, with self-doubt
and guilt which serves to undermine a peoples’ belief in the goodness of their
own country even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This attack is being purposely perpetrated

human spirit and psyche.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will never

been around for a while and can’t possibly imagine how it has helped to ruin
this country and turn a once proud and fiercely independent people into
sniveling, frightened, and pusillanimous wimps, wussies, and abject
cowards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our fear of offending some
minority or other has outweighed our fear of losing our sense of independence,
autonomy, and freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It produces a
loss of confidence in our heritage, traditions, and institutions that can only
serve to harm this country in immeasurable ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It serves to destroy all that America has
stood for and represented over the centuries, it emboldens our enemies both at

one very clear example of the negative effects of political correctness comes
to mind when we recall the name of Major Nidal Hassan and his murderous rampage
at Fort Hood, Texas, not all that long ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here was an individual who described himself as a militant Muslim and
even carried business cards which read, “A Soldier Of Allah.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His fellow comrades in arms as well as his

preemptive action for fear of offending the Muslim minority that resides in the

notes that our, “overwhelming obsession with not saying or doing anything to

32 others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The U.S. Government still
refuses to refer to this massacre as a terrorist attack.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet it most certainly was a terrorist attack
perpetrated by a terrorist who was a high ranking member of our own
military.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why won’t our President
identify it as such?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Political Correctness,
of course, and its attendant fear of offending any minority groups in this
nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The same insane and inane
standard applies when it comes to the fear of offending our country’s Hispanic
minority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article continues, “Then
there’s the epidemic of illegal aliens, who are not to be dissed and offended
by calling them illegal, so the media and the government calls them
undocumented.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I call them illegal
and a threat to our country’s way of life and security and I don’t give a

speaks directly to these issues and pulls absolutely no punches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article begins by stating that,
“something is now happening in the West that may truly spell the end, not of

be described as an intellectual bubonic taking its dismal toll among those it

“is not just an abomination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
danger, clear and present.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The piece
also predicts that, “political correctness will be the death of western
civilization because unlike our earlier forms of pluralistic tolerance, PC is
willfully blind to the lack of reciprocal tolerance in other cultures.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, PC “takes tolerance to a culturally

than this, however, Political Correctness evinces a, “disturbing element of
self-hatred, cultural masochism, and delusions about the difference between
social tolerance and political tolerance – and an elevation of tolerance over
the principle of justice.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see, PC

effective weapons in the real unacknowledged war that is being waged today, the
war of self-subversion.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This relies on,
“the strategy of specialized euphemism to avoid naming things or events
honestly and directly, gutting the vocabulary in order to avoid giving offense
or to dodge the labor and inconvenience of confronting unsettling
circumstances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What one recoils from
naming, one cannot identify and adequately combat.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Political Correctness is essentially the,

said, done, or not done by this sorry-ass excuse for an American President is
deemed politically incorrect in the extreme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Honesty and objectivity simply will not be tolerated when it comes to
the subject of Barrack Hussein Obama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To
find fault with this saboteur is to leave oneself open to charges of racism,
intolerance, and bigotry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To criticize
The Exalted One is to impugn an entire race rather than just one self-loathing
American, and very few of us out here are willing to undergo the utter scorn,
ridicule, and hatred that are heaped upon those folks who dare to violate the
unwritten law of never, ever criticizing or condemning those deemed to be
members of a protected class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It matters
not that such criticism may be accurate and deserved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
article explains that this is exactly the case with the majority of Americans,
“who persist in regarding him as someone who has drunk from the well of wisdom
rather than the gutter of Chicago politics.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He is continually portrayed, “as anything but the man who has clearly
revealed himself in action and executive fiat – a man who by temperament and
conviction – is deeply hostile to the welfare of his country and whose policies
threaten to plunge the United States into debacle and collapse,” cannot be
tolerated by those on the Far Left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To
honestly and openly criticize the Supreme Leader is to be automatically deemed
a racist, intolerant, and a Conservative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The article points out that our President has removed the word terrorism
from the political lexicon and replaced it with the Politically correct,
“man-made disasters.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Booby-in-Chief
constantly apologizes to the world for American action and initiatives, and
unabashedly supports dictators and totalitarian thugs like Manuel Zelaya, Vladimir
Putin, Hugo Chavez, and Bashar Assad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

criticism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

allowed, “his personal animosities to intrude upon his public comportment and
has acted like a rank amateur in the field of international diplomacy.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, he constantly violates our
Constitution and literally bows to foreign kings, emperors, and
potentates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The author correctly
maintains that, “if this man is not frustrated in his efforts, the United
States will see the end of its tenure as the world’s leading power and may
never recover its primacy on the world stage.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is exactly and precisely the end Obama strives for because he
despises the United States but too many of us are too afraid to say so for fear
of being labeled racist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the very
real danger posed by Political C.dorrectness and the Far Left in America counts

author concludes by asking, “Has political correctness successfully shielded a
ruinous President from public disclosure and, in so doing, ensured the
approaching dusk of a once great power and the Western world along with
it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will tolerance trump justice?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will the deception win?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is America about to enter the third

disintegrates, not with a bang and not with a whimper, but with the presumption
of false grandeur and the rhetoric of cant and doublespeak?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Political Correctness is indeed destroying
the United States and when it all comes crashing down, we will only have
ourselves to blame because we let it happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the
years, we’ve all come across what some have dubbed the “Conspiracy Nuts” among
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’ve always existed and it
appears that they are indeed a permanent fixture upon the American
landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At times, these folks seem
ludicrous and are seen as at best a fringe element situated at the very
periphery of the American philosophical and historical spectrum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are, of course, never to be taken
seriously and any discussion of such individuals and groups must take into
account their overwhelming and utter paranoia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They deeply distrust government, warn us of nefarious plots to destroy
our freedom and enslave us, and maintain that they have a direct and linear
connection that goes back to the very first freedom fighters of the
Revolutionary War era.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s right, they
view themselves as modern-day Minute Men whose roots can be traced directly
back to such fabled and patriotic organizations as the revered Sons of
Liberty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They see themselves as direct
descendants of those brave souls who sacrificed and died at places like Bunker
Hill and the Battle of Lexington and Concord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are the modern-day incarnation of Paul Revere whose battle cry is
not, “the British are coming,” but rather, “the government is coming!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have a deep and all-consuming distrust
of government and its ability to make slaves out of free men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are absolutely and irrevocably convinced
that as government grows ever larger, more intrusive, and more powerful the
rights and freedoms of American citizens are increasingly threatened and at
risk of disappearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They claim that it
is the very nature of government – all government - to garner more and more
power unto itself at the expense of individual liberty and freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yeah, I
guess that’s pretty far out there alright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Those folks are obviously in need of a severe reality check and simply
must get a grip, a life, and perhaps some gainful employment that might more
usefully and productively redirect their energies and emotions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do they actually believe that our government
which was initially created to protect individual rights and freedoms now has
as its main goal a mission to destroy them?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Do they truly feel that government has become the “enemy” with
dictatorial designs on America’s fabled and cherished liberty? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, the short answer to these questions
would be an unqualified, unmitigated yes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The long answer, by the way, would be the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They really do believe that these things not
only will happen but indeed are happening and that unless the American people
wake up to this reality we will one day live in a tyranny no less drastic than
that of old King George or any present-day totalitarian dictatorship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are absolutely serious about this and
hearken back to the very words and fears of our Founding Fathers who thoroughly
distrusted government, even the one they created.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Paine, for example, wrote that, “It is the responsibility of the patriot to
protect his country from its government.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Did you get that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From its own
government, not some foreign enemy bent on conquest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas Jefferson correctly noted that, “The
greatest calamity which could befall us would be submission to a government of
unlimited powers.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John Adams admonished
that to, “nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which
can ever preserve the liberties of any people.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He went on to state that when the, “people give way, their deceivers,
betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting
afterwards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The nature of the encroachment
upon the American constitution is such as to grow every day more
encroaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like a cancer, it eats
faster and faster every hour.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adams’
next warning seems to have a particularly ominous ring for those living in
America in the year 2014.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He argues that
revenue, “creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people grow less steady, spirited, and
virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases
the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public
spirit, simplicity, and frugality become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and
vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow
up the whole society.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Note:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>all quotes from the Founding Fathers are
taken from </span><a href="http://www.walterewilliams.com/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">www.walterewilliams.com</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">)
It appears that Mr. Adams is describing 21<sup>st</sup> Century America as
though he were actually living through it, especially under the administration

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would
behoove us to heed the warnings of these long-dead white men for their words
are just as relevant today as they were a few centuries ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our overly centralized government has indeed
become far too powerful, the states much weaker than envisioned by the
Founders, and the concept of Federalism has virtually been destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has gotten to the point where our Chief
Executive decides which laws to enforce or ignore and has all but eliminated
the historic and crucial role of Congress by governing according to Executive
Order or fiat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Brother – in – Chief
behaves arbitrarily and capriciously as he willy-nilly tramples all over our
beloved Constitution and other Founding Documents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He seems to feel that there is nothing the
American people can or will do about his unconstitutional and seemingly endless
power grabs for he views those he governs as irredeemably stupid, incompetent,
and feckless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems, unfortunately,
that he is correct in his assessment and by his actions he has proved the
complete accuracy of Mr. Adams’ remarks referenced above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has mastered the art of the “freebie” and
continually placates the masses by giving them “stuff.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need health care that you can’t
afford?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t afford a cell phone?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hey, nothing could be simpler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your unemployment benefit is in danger of
disappearing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not to worry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The list goes on and on ad infinitum and
dependency on government grows with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As people become increasingly dependent, they become increasingly less
free and as they lose their freedom they also lose any sense of self-reliance
or self-respect they may have had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
tactic of mollifying the masses has been successfully employed by every tyrant
throughout history and old Barrack and the Boys have certainly learned their
lessons well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What was it that Adams
said about the people growing less steady and virtuous while the takers grow
ever more numerous and corrupt?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next
time I hear some lame-ass, condescending Liberal Puke tell me how irrelevant
our Founding Fathers have become, I’m gonna grab him and slap him silly!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are those out there, however, who indeed recognize that our government has
become something it was never intended to be by its creators.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are those among us who take the
warnings of the Founders seriously and can’t fathom why so many sit
complacently by as we see our precious liberties and freedoms slipping away at
an alarming rate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are the guys who
take our Constitution, Declaration, and Bill of Rights seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are the folks who know that without the
protections provided by these documents the idea and reality of American
Exceptionalism is destroyed along with our freedoms and we will become no more
than just one more country with nothing to set us apart from all the others
that have come and gone before us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
are the folks who jealously guard our hard fought for freedoms, are willing to
express their concerns about an over-bearing government, and are proud of
America’s history and accomplishments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yeah, they are the ones the rest of us derisively refer to as Conspiracy
Nuts, Freaks, and Crazies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
seriously believe that our own government is out to “get us.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are the ones that constantly refer to

whacked-out Tea Party types whose radical agenda includes such outrageous
planks as a return to the limited government of our founding, a strict
interpretation of our Constitution, drastically reduced taxes, and fiscal
responsibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, hold on, I’m a

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2009,
the disgustingly Liberal organization known as the Anti-Defamation League (I
gave up on those bozos when they decided to defend the rights of Neo-Nazis to
march through Skokies, Illinois, way back in the 1970’s) published a report
entitled, “Rage Grows in America:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anti-Government Conspiracies,” which details in extremely unflattering
terms groups it deems to be conspiratorially anti-government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They cite, for example, the Tea Party
Movement, Town Hall Meetings, the Birther Movement, the Oath Keepers, the Three
Percenters, and the Militia Movement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The introduction to the screed notes that since the, “election of Barrack
Obama as President of the United States, an undercurrent of anger and hostility
has crept across the country, creating a climate of anti-government fervor and
activism that manifests itself in ways ranging from incivility in public forums
to acts of intimidation and violence.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to the ADL, “Many Americans have been taken aback by the
sudden rise and strength of the anti-government animosity that has swelled in
the first year after the election.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Boy,
I’ll tell ya – nothing gets past these Far Left Looney Tunes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course Americans are angry about what the
Fascist-Wannabe is doing to the country they love and yet these Leftist Goons
seem surprised!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piece goes on to state that what. “characterizes this anti-government hostility
is a shared belief that Obama and his administration actually pose a threat to
the future of the United States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
accuse Obama of plotting to bring socialism to the United States, while others
claim he will bring about Nazism or fascism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All believe that Obama and his administration will trample on individual
freedoms and civil liberties, due to some sinister agenda, and they see his
economic and social policies as manifestations of this agenda.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone who doesn’t see the threat that Obama
and his sycophants pose to this nation as historically founded and presently
constituted is either completely blind or thoroughly brainwashed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These so-called anti-government groups, these
Conspiracy Nuts, are absolutely correct in their assessment and fear of what
Obama represents and they are even more accurate in their concerns over an
increasingly powerful and centralized national government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obama and the LFE (Liberal Fucking Elite)
have every intention of destroying this nation and turning it into something
none of us would even recognize as the country of our birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the Huckster – in –Chief swore he would
fundamentally transform our country, he damned well meant it but not too many
Americans took him all that seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is absolutely axiomatic that the bad guys out there will, in fact,
tell you of their nefarious intentions if you only know how to listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, it seems that our so-called Conspiracy
Nuts have been listening very closely and take old Barrack Hussein at his
word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe the rest of us would do well
to heed their warning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ADL
piece singles out a number of groups that it apparently deems as particularly
dangerous and worthy of attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
claims that one, “manifestation of the ideology of resistance to the government
was the creation of the Oath Keepers group in March, 2009.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That group actively recruits police officers
and military personnel for membership and its, “basic pitch is to remind such
people that they swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies,
foreign and domestic.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Oath Keepers
maintain, “that now is the time to live up to that oath by resisting an
allegedly tyrannical government.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Allegedly?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Allegedly, my sorry old ass!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another outfit identified by the
Anti-Defamation League goes by the name of the Three Percenters, a reference to
the proportion of the colonial population that actually fought against the
British in the Revolutionary War.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
guys seem to be motivated by defending our Second Amendment (see the Second
Amendment Rant of 2/3/09) to the
Constitution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The group states that the,
“Three Percent today are gun owners who will not disarm, will not compromise
and will no longer back up at the passage of the next gun control act. . . .”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Additionally, “We will not obey any further circumscription of our
traditional liberties and will defend ourselves if attacked.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This group maintains that it, “is committed
to the restoration of the Founders’ Republic, and are willing to fight, die,
and if forced by any would-be oppressor, to kill in the defense of ourselves
and the Constitution that we all took an oath to uphold against enemies foreign
and domestic.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know about you,
but these folks seems damned serious about not backing up another step when it
comes to matters of defending our nation, our rights, and our freedoms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If push ever comes to shove, I have no doubt
that they’d do both.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ADL report also
identifies the resurgence of the Militia Movement as further evidence that
there really do exist anti-government elements among our population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It states that, “Militia groups are armed
paramilitary groups of varying sizes that organize and train in preparation for
possible future armed resistance to an encroaching New World Order conspiracy
that seeks to render the American people disarmed, defenseless slaves.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The report treats these and other groups like
them as total nut-jobs who exist only on the fringes of American society and
reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It sees them as merely
disaffected types, misfits, and ne’er-do-wells who should probably be
institutionalized by the men in white coats so that they be properly and
regularly medicated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, maybe so –
but maybe not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems
to me that these folks have every reason to fear this behemoth of a government
that is quickly destroying the rights and freedoms of American citizens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps these “Conspiracy Nuts” are the
vanguard, the tip of the spear so-to-speak, whose warnings should be more
attentively heeded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ADL admits that
there’s a lot of anger out here and that if unchecked, “such anger is likely to
have negative consequences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At minimum,
it tarnishes and impedes civil discourse.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Wait just a damned minute here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Have you ever tried to engage in civil discourse with a full-blown,
committed Liberal?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trust me, it’s an
impossibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Furthermore, “at most the
attacks on the legitimacy of the government could be destructive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fact that these attacks are coming from
such a broad spectrum makes it more likely that some of the individuals who are
in the mainstream camp will become so inflamed with anti-government anger, they
may move further toward the fringes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This could result not only in the swelling of the ranks of
anti-government extremist groups and movements, but could give rise to
individuals who are willing to act out on their anger.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sounds like the Liberals among us are just a
tad worried especially when they openly admit that anti-government sentiment is
coming from a very broad spectrum of our population.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about them anyway?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Under our First

not a danger to the rest of us?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If their
speech is unpopular, isn’t that all the more reason that they be afforded their
First Amendment protections?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have
always had a tradition in this country of constitutionally protecting those not
in the so-called “mainstream” and that tradition has always been one of the
mainstays of immigration to this nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>People have historically come here desperately seeking the freedom they
didn’t have in their home countries. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Millions upon millions have arrived here to
escape government tyranny, abuse, and persecution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If those so-called Conspiracy Nuts among us
see a government that has become destructive and anathema to liberty and
freedom, don’t they have an absolute right to say so?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In their minds, it seems they have an actual
responsibility to do so and yet when we hear what they tell us we do not even
take them slightly seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We mock
and ridicule them and turn them into outcasts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After all, how can the rest of us go about our daily lives with any
semblance of normalcy or regularity if we are convinced that our government is
plotting to do us harm?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can we go to
work and raise families if we are forever looking over our shoulders wondering
what plots and schemes our government has in store for us today?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, these Conspiracy Types must be
taken with the proverbial grain of salt and while they may make for an
interesting Bullshit Session at the local watering hole, let’s not go off the

get serious now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are the anti-government

</span>Are we talking military rule of civilians in the land of the free and

</span>Are we actually talking about the cessation of American liberty

proclaimed, “Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there,
no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no
court can even do much to help it.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

exactly what is Rex 84 and why has no one ever heard of it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps because we’re all so busy going about
our daily lives that we just can’t stay on top of everything emanating from our
nation’s capitol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or perhaps it is
something that if most Americans knew about, it would make their blood boil and
we’d see a run on gun stores that would dwarf what we witnessed after 911.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to a piece entitled, “Rex 84:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FEMA’s Blueprint for Martial Law in America(</span><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">http://www.globalresearch.ca</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">),
we are, “dangerously close to a situation where if the American people took to
the streets in righteous indignation or if there were another 9/11 – a
mechanism for martial law could be quickly implemented and carried out under
REX 84.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article further notes that
the plan, “would accommodate the detention of large numbers of American
citizens during times of emergency.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Martial law?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The detention of
large numbers of American citizens?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At

apparently stands for Readiness Exercise 1984 and through it, “an undisclosed

</span>Additionally these, “these camps are to be operated by FEMA should
martial law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take
is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s
signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know, it seems that we’re talking about
dictatorial power here that completely by-passes and undercuts our
Constitution, tosses the concept of the rule of law onto the compost heap, and
grinds the idea of American liberty under the heel of some totalitarian regime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, let’s see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our sorry-ass excuse for a President is no
more than a dictator wanna-be who has shown nothing but contempt for our

it is a directive that establishes under the office of the President, “a new

incident regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass
casualties, damages, or disruption severely affecting the U.S.” and that it
allows the President, “to use federal troops or the National Guard in federal
service in a wide range of emergencies including natural disasters, epidemics

domestic violence, including conspiracies to commit domestic violence.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is pretty far reaching stuff and not

exactly what a national emergency is and how much the power of the Federal
Government should be expanded in order to deal with it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will the people of the country have no say or

and who is to say when the so-called national emergency is over?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many of our rights and freedoms will be
sacrificed to deal with such an emergency, and once the danger is past, will we

“over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to
receive prisoners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are all staffed
and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, these camps, “are to be
operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need
to be implemented in the United States.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The piece goes on to inform us that the, “Rex 84 Program was established
on the reasoning that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US
border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by
FEMA.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alrighty, then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Concentration camps?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prison camps?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

piece introduces two more terms that sound like they stem from a badly acted
and conceived 1950’s Cold War spy movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

sub-programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 is initiated for its

police state and thus will head up all operations.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember Natasha and Boris of the old Rocky

</span>It sounds like these “programs” come right out of that venue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it possible that there are those out there
who really, truly, and sincerely believe this crap?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yep!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to a piece entitled, “Rex 84:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Rex 84, “outlines continuity of government wherein the US Constitution is

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far,
the anti-government conspiracy types have focused on very little known, obscure
government agencies like Rex 84, Operations Garden Plot or Cable Splicer that
virtually no one is familiar with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now,
however, these guys are taking a whack at the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that’s got to be a
low blow, uncalled for, and wrong-headed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>FEMA, as I always understood it, exists to help Americans especially in
times of natural disaster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know,
those times when old Mother Nature says nope, you puny, little insignificant
human beings just don’t matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
those “things” you’ve built to make life easier, more convenient, and more
comfortable for yourselves – just watch this shit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hurricanes, tornados, twisters, earthquakes,
typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and all the rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We human beings are as gnats blowing around
in gale-force winds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, here comes
FEMA to try and help us recover from the effects of these catastraphies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What could be more benign or humane than
that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People need help and, after all,
isn’t that what government is supposed to do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Government exists to help citizens in distress so how could anyone
possibly object to that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think back to
just a few years ago when Hurricane Katrina as it ripped through New Orleans or
perhaps to Super Storm Sandy which devastated wide swaths of Long Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was FEMA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>True, like most government entities, it was
slow, inefficient, clumsy, and overly bureaucratic but the intentions were good
and noble and who could fault that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Apparently, those whacked out government conspiracy nuts can and do
exactly that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They portray FEMA as evil
incarnate out to destroy our God-given rights and freedoms and further enslave
us to an all-powerful centralized government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A piece entitled, “FEMA – The Secret Government(</span><a href="http://dmc.members.sonic.net/"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">http://dmc.members.sonic.net</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">),”
explains that FEMA is, “not an elected body, it does not involve itself in
public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of
dollars.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More importantly, it has,
“more power than the President of the United States or the Congress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has the power to suspend laws, move entire
populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without
a trial.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, “it can seize
property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Damn, and here I thought that FEMA was a
fairly benign government agency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
actually beginning to believe that last phrase is a gargantuan oxymoron.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article goes on to claim that FEMA spends
only about six percent of its budget on national emergencies and that, “the
bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground
facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency,
foreign or domestic.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
should be noted that FEMA was created by Executive Order which has the power of
law but completely bypasses Congress and the American people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article explains that the agency has been
strengthened over time by additional Executive Orders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, Executive Order 10990, “allows
the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways
and seaports,” while Executive Order 10995, “allows the government to seize and
control the communication media.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still
other Executive Orders allow the government to take over all electrical power,
gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
government can take over all food resources and farms and allows the government
to, “mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These examples barely scratch the surface of
the massive power wielded by FEMA over the lives of American citizens and I
guarandamnedtee you that 99.99% of us have not clue number one that we can be
but a hair’s breadth away from losing our freedom should “conditions” require
drastic action by our government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well
sure, but this kind of power wouldn’t be unleashed on America unless the danger
we face is so grave that the government simply has no choice, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not so,
according to the article.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently,
“FEMA’s enormous powers can be triggered easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In any form of domestic or foreign problem,
perceived and not always actual, emergency powers can be enacted.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the President has broad powers to
declare martial law which would start the whole FEMA thing rolling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Martial law, “can be declared during times of
increased tension overseas, economic problems within the United States such as
depression, civil unrest, and in a drug crisis.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It sounds like we’re talking about some kind
of “Shadow Government” here that holds the real, actual reins of power while we
have been falsely led to believe that the American people are the final
authorities over what and what does not take place in our nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently, we are living under some kind of
delusion here and the, “crux of the problem is that FEMA has the power to turn
the United States into a police state in times of real or manufactured
crisis.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What the Hell are we talking
about here?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are we really suggesting
that the freest nation in history, the most superb Constitutional Republic ever
created that guarantees individual rights and freedoms is in danger of becoming
some kind of third world police state?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Are we really willing to accept the lunatic rantings and ravings of
these Conspiracy Nuts while living in a country dedicated to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At one time, I
would have thought that the mere contemplation of such a remote possibility was
a probable sign that someone’s mind wasn’t right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would have had to question that
individual’s motives as well as his grip on reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, however . . . . <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Well, here we go again. I promised myself that after my last anti-United Nations screed, I was done with that horribly anti-American, anti-Western, tyrant-infested, freedom-destroying, humanity-killing outrage. No more, basta, enough! I figured I was pretty much “UNed” out. After all, how much time can one spend ranting and railing about that crime against mankind situated on New York City’s Turtle Bay? In previous postings (see: The United Nations Rant of 12/22/08; The United Nations Human Rights Council Rant of 12/19/10; The Agenda 21 Rant of 7/18/12; and The United Nations International Gun Control Treaty Rant of 8/22/12), I have written at some length about that venal and corrupt body and have argued that it is no more than a sovereignty-destroying entity whose main goal seems to be the utter decimation of the United States and other Western democracies. I have noted its glaring and astounding failure to even live up to its own charter. I have explained that as a peace-keeping body it is a complete and abject bust and that its record as a humanitarian organization is equally dismal. It does not prevent nations from regularly and routinely attempting to butcher one another, it cannot stop wars once hostilities have gone beyond the blathering stage, and its vain efforts to ease mankind’s eternal suffering have failed on all fronts.<br />
<br />
It is easily the least effective international forum on the planet since old Adolph told the defunct League of Nations to go fuck itself! The UN is filled with Globalists, One-Worlders, Socialists, and Communists who view the concept of sovereign, independent nation-states as an anachronism whose time has long since come and gone. Apparently, all decisions regarding issues facing the world must come from international – or even supranational – institutions and organizations whose wisdom, knowledge, and expertise must be far superior to those of any single nation, state, or country. Decisions affecting the planet must come only from world-wide forums and not from countries selfishly pursuing their own narrow, parochial, and puerile goals. The world simply has no place for a lone super-power anymore, especially if that power happens to be the United States.<br />
<br />
The vast majority of UN membership views our country as the single most evil and destructive force in planetary history with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. We are continually mocked, ridiculed, and criticized by that body’s General Assembly whose membership, by the by, is populated for the most part by thuggish, murderous, and rogue nations whose leaders have absolutely no respect for the sanctity, dignity, or value of human life. These countries are ruled by jack-booted thugs who live like royalty while their populations are left to starve to death or die from diseases long since eradicated in the more affluent, educated, and enlightened Western world. The vast majority of UN members regularly engage in brutal internecine warfare that leaves the streets – where streets actually exist – running red with the blood of largely innocent victims. These nations receive literally billions per year in foreign aid most of it, of course, in the form of American dollars, food, and material which is invariably stolen by the leaders of these Third World Shitholes who live in such affluence and luxury as to make old Louis XIV or Marie Antoinette blush with shame. The Security Council of the United Nations – both permanent and rotating members – is made up of nations who are at best merely lukewarm in their relationships with the United States and at worst are our sworn enemies whose fondest dream is to witness America’s downfall. Hell, just about the entire eastern bloc at the UN refers to America as the Great Satan and literally danced with joy when those jets slammed into the Twin Towers some thirteen years ago.<br />
<br />
Why, then, do we put up with this state of affairs? Why do we still pay a whopping 25%of that body’s operating expenses to say nothing of the extraordinary cost of supporting the UN’s pathetic attempts at peace-keeping? Why do we belong to an organization whose membership is for the most part so openly hostile to everything and anything our country stands for and represents? Would you belong to a club in which most of the members view you as an enemy, a force that must be isolated and destroyed? Would you pay to build the “clubhouse” on your property right in your own backyard? Exactly. Yet this is precisely what we have been doing since the UN’s founding shortly after World War ll came to a screeching and screaming halt. And make no mistake. The United States won that war on both fronts. Do we really think that England and France could have taken down Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan if we hadn’t jumped in and saved their sorry, war-torn asses? We saved the world including all of the UN’s current membership and for this we are continually reviled, rebuked, and ridiculed.<br />
<br />
We are forever held in the lowest of esteem by our fellow members of the United Nations. We are repeatedly lambasted and looked down upon by these total and venal piss-ants who have the temerity, the “chutzpah”, to demand that we modify our attitudes and behavior to better meet the needs and desires of two-bit, tin-horn dictators, mass murderers, and absolutely psychotic sociopaths. None of the UN membership is good enough to even lick our boots let alone kiss our collective ass in any manner, shape, or form. They can’t compete with us on any plane. Not economically, not militarily, and certainly not in the realm of providing freedom, safety, and security for their own citizens. We constitute the world’s foremost example of a successful nation and we are the penultimate measure of what the rest of the world should strive for and emulate. Millions upon millions of people recognize this the world over and constantly prove it by attempting to come, live, and work here both legally and illegally. How many other nations can make this claim? China? Russia? Fucking Zimbabwe? Yeah, right!<br />
<br />
We are the one the globe looks to when problems arise. We are the one that the world demands feed it, clothe it, support it economically and if needs be militarily. When the world cries out for aid, we are the one that responds first with the most. No other nation can even come close to us for bringing progress and relief to the worlds less fortunate. We are the one more than any other planetary force that has relieved mankind’s suffering and we are the one that literally set hundreds of millions of people free from the cruel yoke of tyranny that has been the unfortunate lot of most of the planet’s population since Homo Sapiens became the dominant global species. Nobody else – just us! And for this, our fellow United Nations members gleefully SHIT ALL OVER US EVERY CHANCE THEY GET!! Why do we put up with this?<br />
<br />
Well, I’ll tell ya why. Our major institutions in this country are controlled by a relatively small group of Liberal Fucking Elites (LFE) and while their members may be small, the influence they wield is substantial. These Scum-Dogs have a vice-like grip on all of our major institutions. These would include: the media, both print and electronic; our entertainment industry; our educational system from pre-school through university and beyond; our political institutions; and our news and information services. These Far Left, ultra Liberal Collectivists direct and control virtually every nugget of information that filters down to the “great unwashed.” They feed the ignorant amongst us only their version and interpretation of events and trends to the exclusion of all other points of view and explanations. They are America’s own home-grown Globalists and One-Worlders who completely agree with their foreign counterparts. These American citizens have no love at all for their own country, refuse to accept the fact that we have been a force for good since our creation, and will not acknowledge the very real concept of American Exceptionalism (see The American Exceptionalism Rant of 11/7/11).<br />
<br />
They will not – cannot – acknowledge that without the United States, the world would be in far worse shape than it is now and they believe that America has been the cause of all the world’s major problems and disasters. According to these “Americans”, we are racist, homophobic, jingoistic, and xenophobic. We have despoiled Mother Earth, stolen the natural resources that rightfully belong to our Brown Brothers in Third World countries, and we are the cause of every disaster on the planet – man-made or natural. They absolutely believe that America needs to be taken down a peg or twenty, delight when the United States suffers reverses and defeats, and fervently believe that we are certainly no better and probably far worse than the most loathsome and vicious tyrannical, dictatorial government that presently inhabits the globe. These are the Americans who blamed us for 9-11 and seriously put forth the proposition that the United States deserved it as punishment for the sins and atrocities we have visited upon the world.<br />
<br />
While these home-grown loathers of their own country may in fact be a minority in America, they are certainly not within the United Nations where hatred for us runs very far and very, very deep. Our “American” brothers and sisters are quite at home in that environment, are very comfortable hobnobbing with foreigners who despise the United States, and feel absolutely no shame or remorse by the fact that they are nothing more than traitors to America’s historic role in the world. These anti-America Americans (see The American Who Hate America Rant of 1/21/11), the LFE, need the UN to validate their own unpatriotic attitudes toward the United States and believe that we must be governed and controlled not by our own institutions and traditions but rather should surrender American sovereignty and autonomy to international organizations like the United Nations or the World Court. They believe that our nation’s capital should not be located in the District of Columbia but rather at the Hague. They believe in what’s come to be called Global Governance and that individual nation-states have no place in the 21st Century. They view themselves as ever so sophisticated and urbane and that we “little folk” should submit to their will and dictates for only they know what’s best for the rest of mankind. They are arrogant and condescending in the extreme and are light years ahead of those who believe in such quaint notions as patriotism, pride in country, and nationalism. According to them, the concept of the sovereign, independent, nation-state is just oh-so passe and that we common slobs out here are simply not capable of grasping that reality. We must, therefore, be led or driven to submit to their vision and view of the world.<br />
<br />
So what, then, brings me to this latest anti-UN screed and caused me to break my not so solemn promise referenced above? It would be the Law of the Sea Treaty Rant (LOST), yet another blatant United Nations power grab designed to do nothing more than further destroy American sovereignty, independence, and power. LOST, by the way, is nothing new but rather goes back literally decades. Thus far, while certain of our Presidents have actually pushed for ratification of the treaty, these efforts have thankfully been unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the Liberals and One-Worlders among us keep up their efforts for they are if nothing else extremely persistent. They are bound and determined to get this monstrosity through the Senate and surrender still more American authority and power to those who despise us and wish us harm. In an article entitled, “Malkin: With Treaty, Obama Aims to Cede U.S. Ocean Sovereignty to U.N.(http://lubbockonline.com)" Michelle Malkin notes that the 20th Century’s greatest President, Ronald Reagan, also recine.com.)ognized the threat to America that is LOST. He utterly rejected that abomination and warned that, “no national interest of the United States would justify handing sovereign control of two-thirds of the Earth’s surface over to the Third World.”<br />
<br />
Reagan, never one to mince words, firmly believed that the Law of the Sea Treaty constituted no more than an obvious, “effort to promote global government at the expense of sovereign nation states – and most especially the United States.” Malkin correctly posits that LOST would create, “a massive United Nations bureaucracy that would draw ocean boundaries, impose environmental regulations and restrict business on the high seas.” The author goes on to insist that, “crucial national security decisions about our naval and drilling operations would be subject to the vote of 162 other signatories, including Cuba, China, and Russia.” Yeah, how’d you like to see these three totalitarian, international gangster nations in any way directing the fate of the United States? Yet the Liberals amongst us and especially our Socialist-in-Chief get positively orgasmic about even contemplating such an eventuality. Don’t ever forget who these people are. They despise our country and will do everything and anything they can to bring us to our knees. Malkin concludes her piece by stating that, “LOST is a radical giveaway of American sovereignty in the name of environmental protection,” and, “it should be sunk once and for all.”<br />
<br />
In a piece entitled, “U.S. Must Reject Law of the Sea Treaty (http://dyn.realclearpolitics.com)),” author Edwin Feulner explains that, “LOST’s proponents . . . tend to be fans of superfluous international agreements, and they frequently back policies that would tie the hands of the United States and prevent us from acting in our own interests.” Mr. Feulner, a former director of the esteemed Heritage Foundation, quotes one-time Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld who noted that, “the Obama administration has promoted the Law of the Sea Treaty and seems to have bought into the false nobility of global governance.” He queried, “Why should the American people support leaders who put American interests on an equal footing with foreign interests? Aren’t they elected to represent we the people, not we the world?” And there you have it. Rumsfeld speaks to and for the nationalists among us, those who put American interests first and foremost, above and beyond all else. We truly believe – because it has been proven time and again – that what is good for America is indeed good for the world. We know to and beyond a moral certainty that America has done more to advance the cause of humanity than any other nation in history. This is not a matter of conjecture or mere opinion. It is one of the world’s undeniable truths that can’t be objectively disputed, argued with, or seriously denied.<br />
<br />
Those of us who feel this way cannot even begin to fathom the concept that far too many of our fellow Americans do not, will not, and cannot grasp this defining national trait and characteristic. We are and have been throughout most of our history a good and compassionate people who wish the world no ill will in the slightest. We would like to see the rest of the so-called family of nations rise up to our level rather than remain forever stuck in the eternal muck and mire of poverty, squalor, and tyranny. We are more than pleased to act as an example for the world to follow, emulate, and admire for we have always been a beacon of light in a world of darkness and despair. It is completely beyond our ken to realize that so many of our fellow citizens can’t grasp this immutable fact. These are the One-Worlders and Globalists among us. These comprise those self-hating Americans who continually and tragically agree with our enemies around the world. These are the folks who would have us surrender our sovereignty, our greatness, and our exceptionalism to the Internationalists at the UN who favor such monstrosities as the Law of the Sea Treaty.<br />
<br />
In what’s referred to as an Issue Brief, the Center for Sovereignty & Security published a piece entitled, “Ratifying UN Law of the Sea Treaty Would Harm U.S. Sovereignty, Part 1 (www.freedomalliance.org),” author Thomas W. Jacobson explains that what, “LOST did was to create an international entity similar to the United Nations to supersede the sovereignty of nations and exercise governing authority over most of the Earth’s surface.” The writer maintains that if the United States does not ratify this treaty then our present status remains fairly stable and unchanged. America will, “retain all of its sovereign rights over its territorial waters, continental shelf, and the airspace above, plus all rights in and above international waters recognized in international law.” Well then, what seems to be the problem? The problem is those Americans who deeply desire to change the existing status-quo to the tremendous disadvantage of the United States. The piece explains that if we do ratify LOST then, “all of the rights mentioned above are restricted and regulated by the ISA [International Seabed Authority which is a creation of the Law of the Sea Treaty] and its member nations, and the USA would become just one voice with one vote among 163 nations, with no veto power, and far less influence than it enjoys in other international bodies such as the United Nations Security Council.” So, how does it sound so far? As you can imagine, it only gets worse. Additionally, “Any American plans for exploration or exploitation of resources within international waters would require Council approval, which could also stop operations at any time.” The United States would, therefore, be at the mercy of an organization whose members openly and actively despise this country. Our actions and activities as a proud, free, and sovereign nation would be severely curtailed and yet there exist Americans among us who fervently desire that LOST be ratified by the United States Senate. We used to call these folks subversives. I still do.<br />
<br />
Moreover, if this anti-American treaty is ever ratified by our Senate, LOST would, “exercise oversight of the United States and American companies in international waters, and be authorized to take any measure necessary to force them into compliance with what they view as Treaty obligations.” Forced into compliance? Do we understand what this means? On top of it all, if we ratify this treaty, “it denies that the freedom of navigation and overflight of the high seas are inalienable” and that our, “national security would be compromised because U.S. Navy vessels could not interdict, on the high seas, ships under the control of terrorists or enemy governments, including ships carrying weapons of mass destruction.” That there exist American citizens who are perfectly willing and eager to weaken our nation by signing onto this horror show is disturbing in the extreme. That there actually exist U.S. Senators who would be delighted and even excited to ratify LOST is actually frightening. That these folks are Far Left Liberals and Globalists certainly comes as no great surprise. Part 1 of this piece concludes by noting that ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty, “reveals many ways the U.S. government would sacrifice inherent liberties and national sovereignty if it ratifies LOST.”<br />
<br />
Part 2 of the above referenced Issue Brief is even more disturbing and ominous for it reveals the ultimate Socialist and anti-Capitalist underpinnings of the Law of the Sea Treaty. The Socialists among us have long championed the loathsome concept of wealth redistribution. This theory posits that the wealth one has earned and accumulated does not really belong to those who have worked for it. It has long been illogically and falsely claimed that those of us who have acquired more than others have done so unfairly and even criminally and thus don’t have a right to keep the fruits of our labor, persistence, drive, and dedication. In fact, the successful are accused of achieving that exalted status by stealing from the backs of the poor and therein lies the illogic. How can one possibly steal from the poor when by definition the poor have nothing to steal? It makes not one whit of sense yet constitutes one of the mainstays of Socialism wherever it exists, including the United States. These Statists and Collectivists view themselves as latter day Robin Hoods and it’s high time someone explained to them that in the end, Robin Hood was no more than a fucking thief!<br />
<br />
The essence of Socialism is to punish those who work hard, achieve, and produce while rewarding those who do not. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor sounds grand and deeply compassionate when in reality it is anything but. Giving “stuff” to those who didn’t earn it is to keep them perpetually at little more than subsistence levels. It does them no favors and teaches all the wrong lessons. It keeps them forever dependent on government hand-outs, creates a permanent and servile underclass which has become Liberalism’s largest voting bloc in America, and fosters a sense of class envy, jealousy, and warfare. It destroys any sense of independence, self-reliance, and pride people may have once had and creates no more than mind-numbed lemmings who do the bidding of those in charge of giving out the goodies. In nations that have succumbed to this travesty, the results are always more than just a little positive for the ruling classes while devastating for those they rule. Perpetual poverty, squalor, and civil unrest become defining elements in nations that have gone this route. It’s inevitable and is happening here in America under our own Collectivist-in-Chief.<br />
<br />
LOST, then, fits in beautifully with the desires of those Socialists in our midst for in many ways it is no more than a massive wealth redistribution scheme on a global scale. Part 2 of the above notes that if, “the USA ratifies LOST, the U.S. government will initiate possibly the greatest wealth transfer in history, providing without oversight or accountability millions or billions of dollars to developing nations.” This is because our taxes would fund about 25% of the cost of implementing the Law of the Sea Treaty above and beyond the billions we already waste in UN dues. This amounts to nothing more than a foreign and usually hostile entity taxing the American people. It constitutes but one more way of further weakening and degrading the United States which, by the way, is exactly what the Far Left so fervently desires. Additionally, these funds, “could be given to enemy nations and those who harbor terrorists. Thus, the USA could find itself funding military or terrorist operations against our own country.” Now there’s a comforting thought. The author of the piece concludes that it, “is difficult, if not impossible, to discern any benefit by ratifying LOST that is not exceedingly outweighed by detrimental effects.” Exactly, and that is precisely why those of the LFE want ratification to go through the Senate!<br />
<br />
While that august body has thus far rejected all attempts to ratify LOST, this provides little comfort given the fact that we have a Democrat controlled Senate and a President who consistently places the interests of other nations above and beyond that of our own. Obama sees himself as more of a world leader than an American one, has literally denied the concept of American Exceptionalism, and has toured the planet apologizing for our very existence. To him, we are just one more nation among many and therefore must subordinate our narrow and parochial needs to those of the world. He places far more credence in the legitimacy and authority of organizations like the United Nations than he does in our own institutions. He sees himself more as a global citizen rather than an American citizen and for this reason he actively supports Senate ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty. He is fully cognizant of the fact that this would severely curtail American sovereignty and weaken our ability to act in our own self-interest and deal with our enemies. He is a prime example of the Blame America First Crowd, consistently behaves in ways that harm us, and fervently desires to reduce our nation’s hegemony in world affairs.<br />
<br />
A piece entitled, “The Law of the Sea Treaty: LOST (http://www.akdart.com),” maintains that the, “Obama administration wants Senators to suspend common sense and ignore real and legitimate concerns about the deleterious impact of the Law of the Sea Treaty on our sovereignty, economic interests and potentially even our national security.” This really comes as no surprise given the Socialist-in-Chief’s priorities and anti-Americanism. The piece describes LOST as an Obama-backed UN treaty, “which would subordinate U.S. naval and drilling operations beyond 200 miles of our coast to a newly established U.N. bureaucracy.” It would be able to, “regulate deep-sea oil exploration and seabed mining.” Additionally, “as part of the deal, as much as 7% of US government revenue collected from oil and gas companies operating off our coast will be forked over . . . for redistribution to poorer, landlocked countries.” This apparently is in, “penance for America’s audacity in perpetuating prosperity yielded by our industrial revolution.”<br />
<br />
Do we understand what this means? This international boondoggle is going to punish us for our success. We will be castigated for becoming the world’s wealthiest, most powerful, and most generous nation in history. Apparently, the good we have done has done us no damned good at all. This is global Socialism pure and simple. We are seen as no more than a wealthy target, a sucker to be fleeced by those nations that have not been as successful as America. It is no more than class envy and jealousy writ world-wide. Take from those who have legitimately earned it and give it – redistribute – to those that have not. It is certainly one thing for us of our own volition and good-heartedness to provide foreign assistance to those less fortunate than ourselves. To impose a global tax on American citizens who have absolutely no say in the matter and no choice is quite another. This is clear and blatant coercion disguised as international humanitarianism and nothing more.<br />
<br />
The same piece also posits that LOST is nothing more than, “an international agreement certain to cripple America’s energy economy. Ratifying LOST not only means losing national sovereignty, it would mean losing jobs. If the United States enters this agreement, it would mean giving up billions in oil and gas royalties to be redistributed among developing and landlocked nations – some of whom are state sponsors of terror.” Given all of LOST’s negative impact on our nation, the realization that an American President and a sizable chunk of our United States Senate favors ratification should be a clear signal as to just how far we have fallen as a country. That powerful forces and individuals in America would sell us out to hostile members of the United Nations is more than just a little bit telling. It is an unerring predictor of where this nation is headed if the LFE is not thoroughly defeated in the United States. In my darker moments, however, I fear that it is already too late and that we have reached the point of no return.<br />
<br />
An article entitled, “Will U.S. Sovereignty Be Lost At Sea? Obama Supports U.N. Treaty That Redistributes Drilling Revenues (http://forbes.com),” also exposes this Socialist scheme to severely reduce America’s sovereignty, independence, and power which is, of course, enthusiastically supported by our Sorry-Ass excuse of a President. In my admittedly biased and hostile view, that man has had as his central objective the destruction of the United States as historically founded and at least up to now presently constituted. Like all good and “true believers,” he desires nothing less than the degradation of the United States and absolutely denies the good we have done on the world stage. I can’t think of one policy of his that has not been designed to purposely and effectively harm this country and relegate it to the ash-heap of the Once Great Nations Club. This seems to be the force that drives him more than any other and he and his toadies and lackeys have been amazingly successful in pursuit of that goal.<br />
<br />
I’ve heard it said that Obama is no more than a bungling and bumbling neophyte who has not a clue as how to govern and that he simply does not understand the unintended harm his policies have wrought on the United States. To this I respond with a rousing and heartfelt, “BULLSHIT!” This man is focused like a red hot laser on his objective and his target has been painted and lit. Unfortunately, that target is us! His overriding and far too successful governing philosophy is to do so much irreparable harm to the United States that it can’t be undone even after he is no longer steering the ship and state. Oh, and just for shits and giggles, I’m willing to bet some serious money that when he is done ripping America a new asshole from his perch on Pennsylvania Avenue, he will actively campaign to become the first “American” Secretary General of the United Nations and can thus bring his anti-America agenda to entirely new levels of destructiveness. Anybody out there wanna make just a small wager or two?<br />
<br />
The article notes that LOST is actively supported by Obama and that if ratified it, “will subordinate U.S. naval and drilling operations beyond 200 miles of our coast to a newly established U.N. bureaucracy,” which will have, “the power to regulate deep-sea oil exploration, seabed mining, and fishing rights.” In other words, American sovereignty gets flushed right down the toilet of Globalism and International Socialism which will render us virtually incapable of pursuing our own national interests and will leave us totally impotent to do anything about it should our Democrat Senate ever ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty. The piece also explains that the U.S. taxpayer would be turning over billions if not trillions of dollars without having any voice in the decision to do so. No discussion, no debate, and no vote. If this does not constitute some form of Fascism-Totalitarianism, then nothing does. If this does not severely weaken our country, then nothing will. It is a raw and undisguised attempt to leave us powerless in the face of our enemies and encourages only further encroachment on our freedom to act as an independent, sovereign state. This is precisely why Obama and his Fellow Travelers so ardently hope and pray that the U.S. Senate sells us out to the forces of One-Worldism and Internationalism. It fits perfectly with their overriding agenda of doing us harm.<br />
<br />
The Forbes piece continues that LOST, “embodies the progressive ideal of subordinating the sovereignty of nation states to the authoritarian dictates of a world body. The U.S. would have one vote out of 160 regarding where our money would go, and be obligated to hand over offshore technology to any nation that wants it . . . for free.” Well, how about that? We’d have no choice in the matter. American skill, ingenuity, and risk all combined to create and implement our offshore technology and yet if LOST is ratified, we would be forced to give it away gratis! This is nothing more than outright Socialism on steroids! It is both anti-Capitalist and virulently anti-American and that is precisely why our pathetic excuse of a President wants to see it ratified. He will and has done everything in his power to weaken this country because he sincerely believes we deserve it!<br />
<br />
The article goes on to ask, “And who are those lucky international recipients?” The easy answer is that they, “will most likely include such undemocratic, despotic, and brutal governments as Belarus, Burma, China, Cuba, Sudan, and Zimbabwe . . . all current voting members of LOST.” After all, explains author Larry Bell, “The treaty was originally drafted in 1968 at the behest of the Soviet bloc and Third World dictators interested in implementing a scheme to weaken U.S. power and transferring wealth from industrialized countries to the developing world.” Not much has changed since 1968, for our enemies both here and abroad are still trying to get the damned thing through our Senate. The only American President who saw through the entire scheme was, of course, Ronaldus Maximus who recognizing this, “as a global grab . . . thought it was such a lousy idea that he not only refused to sign it, but actually fired the State Department staff that helped negotiate it.” God bless that man!<br />
<br />
As previously noted, the UN’s Law of the Sea Treaty has failed to get through the Senate ratification process which has certainly stymied Obama and his cronies who are forever chomping at the bit to weaken our country every chance they get. Remember, however, that our Destroyer-in-Chief is acutely adept at circumventing the normal legislative processes, ignoring the will of the American people, and behaving in ways more akin to authoritarian tyrants, monarchs, and dictators. After all, he wishes not to govern but rather to rule and he and his groupies regard our Constitution as nothing more than an impediment and an obstacle to his dream of socializing our country and thus destroying the single greatest Constitutional Republic ever seen in global history. He is determined to make LOST the law of the land and simply needs an appropriate method for doing so. Not to worry, for our Saboteur-in-Chief is nothing if not resourceful. When all else fails, Obama resorts to the old standby of governing via Executive Order or fiat. Once a President, any President, signs such an order it has the full force of law without having to worry about such silly, pesky things as the consent of the governed or the legislative process.<br />
<br />
A piece entitled, “Obama, Clinton Selling Out U.S. Sovereignty in Secret (http://americanfreepress.net),” notes that while today we are not on board LOST, “this situation may change if Obama sidesteps the Constitution yet again via executive order.” Once the order has been signed, thus avoiding that annoying ratification process, the treaty has, “the same status as constitutional law and cannot be altered or eclipsed by Congress or state legislatures. And their provisions must be enforced by U.S. courts.” Another article, “Obama Signs Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) into Law via Executive Order (http://stories-etc.com),” maintains that because, “of the decades of difficulty that the collectivists have had trying to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), Obama is sneaking it through the back door by way of his Executive Order,” and that, “Obama’s Executive Order is a soft law tactic to enact the LOST treaty.” To paraphrase an old movie, “We don’t need no stinking ratification process!”<br />
<br />
Yet another article entitled, “John Kerry Hands American Sovereignty to the United Nations (http://eaglerising.com),” beautifully sums up the attitude displayed by His Majesty Barrack. This unending habit of by-passing and ignoring the rules, “just continues the long train of abuses committed by the Obama administration against the American people, where our representatives are ignored, and the will of the President is treated as paramount.” The article explains that the Democrat Party and the media, “allow President Obama to act as a monarch. Whether it’s with his excessive abuses of the Executive Orders issued from his office, or his decision to delay the implementation of law with hardly a by your leave from the legislature.” The article concludes by correctly insisting that this, “is the most Imperial Presidency in over one-hundred years. The President ‘rules’ by his word. He simply makes proclamations, and they come to pass – no debate, no negotiation, and no recourse for the American people. He rules by fiat.” No real surprise here, for if Obama and the Boys were actually honest about their intentions, they’d never have been elected in the first place – I hope.<br />
<br />
Well, then, what to do, what to do? I believe there is only one real option. We must absolutely get the Hell out of the United Nations and get the U.N. the fuck out of the United States! That’s it. There is simply no other solution if we are to save our sovereignty and ability to act as a free and independent nation pursuing our unique national interests. Does that sound like too radical or bold a move to some of you? I think not, for I am not alone in this opinion. In a piece entitled, “American Law or UN Law (http://www.lewrockwell.com),” author Ron Paul warns that, “rest assured that the UN will continue to interfere not only in our nation’s foreign policy matters, but in our domestic policies as well. UN globalists are not satisfied by meddling only in international disputes. They increasingly want to influence our domestic environmental, trade, labor, tax, and gun laws. UN global planners fully intend to expand the organization into a true world government, complete with taxes, courts, and possibly a standing army.” Paul continues that this is not merely, “an alarmist statement: these goals are readily promoted on the UN’s own website. UN planners do not care about national sovereignty; in fact they are openly opposed to it. They correctly view it as an obstacle to their plans. They simply aren’t interested in our Constitution and republican form of government.” While he is absolutely correct, unfortunately far too many Americans are no longer interested in these things either. Paul continues that we have a clear choice. Simply put, “we either follow the Constitution or submit to UN global governance. American national sovereignty cannot survive if we allow our domestic laws to be crafted or even influenced by an international body.” In fact, “If we continue down the UN path, America as we know it will cease to exist.” He’s right folks, and there’s no denying it. No way – no how.<br />
<br />
We are quickly reaching that dreaded point of no return and if the Law of the Sea Treaty is ever adopted by the United States, we will have plunged over the precipice. We are so close to losing our country that it’s actually terrifying and yet virtually no Americans have ever even heard of LOST. They, therefore, cannot possibly understand what it means or the dire consequences it portends for our sovereignty and thus for our very existence as an independent and autonomous country. Yes, it is that serious but there are those among us who actively seek that outcome. They truly believe that we should be ruled-governed by international bodies like the United Nations because they cannot abide the concept of an America that leads the world and is proud to do so. The folks who espouse Globalism, One-Worldism, and Internationalism are, in fact, our enemies and tragically far too many of them are American citizens. A piece entitled, “The Creature From The Ocean’s Floor – The Law Of the Sea Treaty (http://www.libertynewsonline.com),” accurately explains that LOST, “has been created and written specifically to undercut America’s sovereignty and move us toward global governance and a New World Order where the constitutional rights of the American people, our national sovereignty and the military power of the United States would be subordinated to the whims of a group of corrupt, unelected third-world bureaucrats who have no interest in Freedom and Liberty.”<br />
<br />
The Law of the Sea Treaty flies in the face of all that has made America the leader of the world. This United Nations sanctioned atrocity is no more than a blatant Globalist tactic and strategy to relegate the United States to the status of yet another historic relic that held sway for a time but is now no longer relevant. If we allow the Liberals among us to win this fight by embracing LOST, then our country is indeed LOST!!<br />
