Trump Drops the F-Bomb in Vegas

OMG, Trump swore in Vegas! That’s it! The man’s finished; toast; done.

Show me anybody who’s never dropped trou in Vegas. Yes, but… Trump wants to be President.

Think about it! Who would actually want to be President at this point? Do you really think The Donald needs this to embellish his resume? It’s become an emergency call; a mission of mercy: Saving the country and all. Haven’t you been reading the papers?

Frankly, Americans are feeling they’re under siege. They’re watching their savings diminish; their dollar crashing. They’re being asked to contribute more and more hard-won treasure to bolster the fortunes of their own firing squad.

“We’ll just club you to death if you don’t pay us,” the executioner’s union shouts gaily in unison.

Governors are crying out in fiscal pain. Industry is crying out. Ditto, taxpayers. They say that change must come from the inside. In Massachusetts, they recently voted to curb the unions. That is to say, Democrats voted to curb the unions – in the dead of night, no less. They too were afraid.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re a Democrat country. If change is to come, it must come from within. We voted Democrat in 2008 – not this. This is not Democrat. This is tyranny; socialism – by whatever un-American name you want to call it

Republicans still don’t get it. They are not the answer. The nation as a whole has already rejected them and their ideologies. The tea parties consist of Republicans and Democrats. They are alarmed. Nothing like this has ever happened before. The Democrats in Washington are not Democrats. Trump is a Democrat. We can accept that. And he’s a real Democrat – not a socialist masquerading.

So, let’s be clear: The political fight in 2012 is not going to be between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans have long since taken themselves out of the game. The fight will be between Democrats and Socialists. Socialists are the enemy of America – Democrats are not. Democrats do not support $6 gas. They do not support Hamas. They do not support a weak dollar; a weakened nation; inflation; wealth re-distribution; chaos; racism. They do not seek to take away our liberties and control every blessed aspect of our lives. It’s the Socialists who support all these un-American things. It is they who must be defeated.

Indeed, if we had true Democrats running the show, we’d be out of the woods by now.

Romney: Didn't We...

When people are taken hostage they are customarily bound and gagged: bound, as to prevent escape; gagged as to prevent them from speaking.

Though I have no proof, I believe that years ago the Catholic Church was deliberately infiltrated by elements that were intent on sowing mischief. There was much to be gained by the diminution of the Church’s credibility and power. Offshoots and lesser Christian denominations were targeted as well, but there the approach was more directly ideological. These would essentially evolve into politically-driven social clubs.

In politics, a similar strategy has now become apparent. The Democrat Party - the weaker of the two American political parties, weakened primarily by the indiscretions of Bill Clinton - became a cesspool for leftist tripe. The Republican Party also would not remain immune to anti-American trends.

In our last presidential election it was interesting to note just how the strategy works. The people were presented essentially with a Hobson’s choice. On one hand, a known entity, saddled with all of the trumped-up failures of the past; a war hero, who quite appropriately wrapped himself in the American flag, but was a ‘progressive’ (new word for ‘socialist') nonetheless. On the other, an unknown. “Let’s try something different,” became the excuse of the duped who thought themselves as modern and, above all, (oh so) tolerant. (The Islamization of America had not yet entered the frame.) The office at stake was not that important after all. We’d been attacking it, belittling it, mocking it for eight years without seeing much of a difference.

As the table is now being set for the 2012 election cycle, we see more of the same. No doubt, Obama’s record constitutes a serious drag for Democrats as Republicans continue to poll well. But far from taking the opportunity to change course, we’re merely changing masks and party labels. Romney should be out by virtue of his health care blunder in Massachusetts alone. The real standard bearers of conservatism continue to be demonized by both the Left and the Right. ‘Centrist’ and ‘no labels’ are exalted, but stand firmly for the status quo: a sometimes rapid, sometimes slow descent. When what we really need to do is tear up the tracks going forward and turn this train around.

As I’ve said previously, Obama’s election was no accident. All was in place to bring it about. I maintain, that under McCain it would now be no different. In some ways it might even be worse.

I am simply amazed how many who claim to be on our side are perfectly willing to denounce Palin; how many laugh and nod their heads knowingly when someone outrageously and publicly claims she is no more than masturbatory material.

Romney looks good on the golf course. I may be mistaken, but didn’t we just try that?

A New Leaf?

The Democrat Party today is controlled by its radical left-wing fringe. If the election of Scott Brown, Republican, to the late, great Liberal Lion's Senate seat yesterday tells us anything, it's that Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, are painfully aware of it. Americans seem to have found a new appreciation for the fact that continuing on its present course, America, as we have known her, will cease to exist; so much so, that they are no longer willing to indulge the simplistic sports logic of winning and losing when it comes to an existential threat to our nation. In predominantly, proudly blue Massachusetts, liberals have put their natural, superficial bias aside and voted for the Republican. The only thing that could have brought this about is a feeling of immanent danger. Even in the darkest days of the Bush administration I have never heard so many radio ads for gold and food insurance. Gun and seed sales are through the roof. Employers are not hiring. Consumers are not spending. Businesses are not expanding. All these are signs of a population that is no longer confident of its future.

The radical left-wing of the Democrat Party is actively destroying our country bit by bit. The jury is still out on whether it's being done deliberately or is simply a by-product of sheer and utter incompetence. Either way, it's happening. The media is still spinning ‘happy thoughts’. So, it’s not a function of media propaganda that’s causing this general sense of alarm. If one puts any credence in Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of ‘morphic resonance’, one would see that that the unease our people are feeling is well-founded and palpable. It can no longer be dismissed. My own sense is that that the danger is real, all the more so because people feel that what’s happening is deliberate; that our nation has been hijacked by radicals bent on its destruction; that the promise of ‘change’ was merely subterfuge for the real intent of bringing the nation to its knees; to present it to it’s enemies as a bloodied scalp; a sacrifice to the forces that would celebrate the destruction of all that we have managed to build.

Hugo Chavez is a flamboyant example of the enemy, as is Ahmadinejad of Iran. There are others, many within our own borders. They will stop at nothing to achieve their aims. No compromise will satisfy them. They are out for no less than the sacrificial blood of our nation.

From what I’ve heard, yesterday’s election result means nothing to them. They are quite prepared to forge ahead. ‘Double down’ is the tem I’ve been hearing over and over again. ‘Double down’ and ram through health care. ‘Double down’ to pass cap and trade. ‘Double down’ to pass immigration reform; stimulus II; etc. ‘Double down’ on Israel; on collapsing the dollar. ‘Double down’ on imploding democracy as a viable option in governance. ‘Double down’ on the people who dare to stand in the way (which now includes practically the entire nation).

It won’t be long before we know which way the worm turns. Some say, the Obama administration will now be forced to moderate. I, personally, have my doubts. I think it will ‘double down’ and there’s a good chance that we will yet realize our deepest fears.

We Are Leaderless

I recently read a short story by Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) entitled, "The Earthquake in Chile". German writers of that time wrote with the intention of making a grand, universal statement, rather than (what has become fashionable of late) presenting simply a 'slice of life'. Kleist's intent was to buttress the theme that the effects of any sudden and unexpected act of God, resulting in cataclysmic death and destruction, will be overcome in relatively short order and the affected population continues exactly as before.

This is quite opposed to the notion that the temporary leveling of cities and the social order will result in a fresh and optimistic start for the survivors. No, Kleist clearly maintains by example that what was bad before, remains bad; and what was good, remains good. We have seen in our own recent history as Germany has emerged as a world power even after having been bombed into the Stone Age. The same is true of Japan. Both countries had advanced and resourceful populations that refused to give up hope. It must be said that both nations accepted material aid (primarily from us) and knew to use it to their advantage rather than waste it on kleptocrats that know nothing but beggary.

Haiti was a failed state to begin with. It will resume as a failed state. Only now it will have an excuse to blame any number of (preferably) foreign actors, history and, of course, God. As such it will collapse even deeper into need. There is no viable government in Haiti. The people have existed in abject poverty despite the good graces of self-loathing charities and NGO's. A while back, I watched a program on the BBC showing a ‘slice of life’ in which a Haitian woman made her meager living on the streets of the capital making and selling mud pies for people to eat. What Haiti needs is a strong benevolent hand.

America could fit the bill but is reluctant to take the reigns. Already we have been accused of trying to take over the country. We are unsure of ourselves and thus are sensitive to the accusation. It is as though we are moved to help by the grace of God even with our hands cut off.

I've heard it said that the best solution for Haiti would be to evacuate the country and bring the people here. In the meantime we could rebuild the nation. Sounds plausible; even practical. But already there is a vocal political opposition in place that would balk at the mass influx of potential Democrat voters. "Spend the money now and keep them there," they say, "because in the long run it will cost us more to have them on our welfare rolls."

What is necessary now is decisive leadership that is capable of assigning priorities and cutting red tape. Additionally, this leadership must have the support and trust of the people both here and in Haiti. Currently we have neither. We don't have leadership as to what to do with the people of Haiti specifically, and we don't trust our own leadership to do the right thing in any case. The election of Barack Hussein Obama has rendered us leaderless. We, as they, are entirely on our own. If the result of the election tonight in Massachusetts does not confirm this fact, nothing will.

The Country Is Struggling to Right Itself

A victory in Massachusetts today should not be considered a victory by Republicans over Democrats. Rather, it should be considered as a victory for America. As such, any and all gaffes Coakley may have committed were immaterial, as were any fortuitous remarks or circumstances that boosted Brown. No matter how vociferously the White House and its flacks in the media deny it, this contest represents a referendum on Barack Hussein Obama's performance since he has come to office. Should Brown win outright, it will be a repudiation of his policies, as well as of his arrogance, hubris, and mindless ideology that has resulted in the pictorial rendition of incompetence.

It would continue the thread started with the spontaneous genesis of the tea party movement throughout the nation, running through to the town hall confrontations and culminating in that massive protest march on Washington by ordinary, non-aligned American citizens late last year. Next came the upset elections in New Jersey and Virginia. All this was deliberately ridiculed, downplayed or marginalized by the media and its sham White House creation. But, all the while, pressure was building. People were not dispirited. They simply resolved to fight harder.

To characterize it as a 'fight', perhaps, does it an injustice. It makes it seem hard; a slog up-hill; against the grain. It isn't that at all. It's only natural: that burst of adrenalin and determination that kicks in when an intruder enters the house in the dead of night and threatens one's family.

I just finished reading Heinrich von Kleist's (1777-1811) short story: "The Earthquake in Chile". His point was that after the earthquake - that levels everything - is over, men in short order will continue where they left off. All the good, all the bad resumes as if the (proverbial) earthquake never happened. So too it will be with America. The dust is now settling after the earthquake that brought Obama to power. The country is struggling to right itself. A Brown victory is just another step in that direction.

Is Darfur Solved Now?

Did you know that Obama was heckled at the event yesterday. He took it pretty well - as anyone would. Nobody threw shoes, of course. But I bet he was surprised. I don’t think his handlers tell him everything.

The Dems are starting to blame Coakley for her now more-than-likely loss on Tuesday. They say she has been a terrible candidate and has made some foolish gaffes. Hard-core liberals are openly advocating voter fraud. Blame-shifting in Washington continues and, if anything, has been kicked up a notch.

Speaking of political lawn signs in Massachusetts… In the run-up to the last presidential election, OBAMA-Biden lawn signs were ubiquitous in our New Jersey town of mostly Wall Street bankers and their lily-white, black SUV families. There was nary a McCain-PALIN sign to be seen anywhere. Naturally, all disappeared shortly after the election.

However, all during the Bush years, every one of our (many) churches prominently displayed huge green “Save Darfur” banners. Those came down as well as soon as Obama was safely ensconced in the Oval Office. I was just wondering: Is Darfur solved now? I haven’t heard…

No Reluctance To Help

The American people will have to learn to figure out which news stories are legitimate and which aren’t. Haiti, big; Health Care, big; Brown vs. Coakley, big; Tiger Woods, not important; what Harry Reid said (about anything other than Health Care), not important; NBC’s nighttime scheduling problems, not important.

I listed both the Haiti earthquake and the Brown vs. Coakley contest next week as seminal. They are both equally important. No priority should be ascribed to either one at the expense of the other. There may be those who would seek to diminish the significance of the Massachusetts Special Election by talking about Haiti or Tiger. Haiti is by far a most immediately compelling issue. The tear in the fabric of humanity is palpable. The cries are real; the pain runs deep – as does the desire to do what we can to help.

The Massachusetts Special Election fight is real as well. It offers us a chance for at least a token roll-back of the Obama Administration’s Marxist agenda for America. I’m not so naïve as to think that a Brown win would automatically stop Health Care legislation. Neither will it undo other, to my mind, detestable things that have already been done. It’s the symbolism here that’s important. It’s to show that there’s still some fight left in the opposition; that there’s still hope; that there might still be enough of us to right this listing ship of state. And that if this spirit can be found in Massachusetts (of all places), it can surely be found anywhere else in triplicate. Were such a signal heard throughout the land, momentum would build for the consensus to do something – NOW. Not next year; not next election; not two elections from now.

Barack Hussein Obama must be stopped NOW. He and those encouraging him must be shown that they are cutting against the grain of the American experience. They must be convinced that by pursuing this course, they will suffer consequences. Nothing short of a solid Brown win in Massachusetts next week could do more to nudge the current administration toward epiphany. Yes, the earthquake in Haiti deserves coverage and personal effort. But so would an earthquake along the political fault line that runs through Massachusetts at the moment.

Lastly, I would ask everyone to consider just how we would find ourselves in a position to help out in Haiti or anywhere else where disaster might strike if all the egalitarian policies were to become part and parcel of ourselves like Obama wants. I don’t see any of his good socialist buddies from around the world offering to help. Neither have I noted any reluctance by our own country – still operating under the burden of residual (Bush) evil – to do so.

Mass. Special Election: Brown - Coakley

My expectation is that Brown will beat Coakley. The wild card is 'turnout', as Gigot says; but not in the sense in which he says it. A better term for it is 'fraud'. I dare say that election fraud has been a part of elections in America since JFK (and possibly even before). Fraud has always come primarily from the Democrat side. That is to say, when elections were close, Democrats always won.

Election fraud is difficult to measure or even identify because the media (that is 99% Democrat) never picks up on it. There is, however, a way to gage it by seeing how high any given population is taxed. This will give some indication just how gullible and tolerant of corruption any given population is. Massachusetts is in the top ten of highest tax states and we can therefore assume a high potential for fraud exists. Since this particular election has national implications as well, i. e. the oh so elusive 60th vote for health care, all the stops will be drawn out, both by Massachusetts Democrats and by Washington, to get the desired result.

A Republican win despite the heavy Democrat artillery would be significant indeed. It would point to a nation-wide groundswell of anti-government feeling beyond what the usual (slightly) right-of-center pundits (including Batchelor and Gigot) are willing to admit.
