Who Is NOT the Enemy

People are forever poised to run over and embrace Democrats because of what Micky said: “When a Republican runs, they run against a whole frontal assault of their opponents war machine... media, academia, pop-culture, etc.” The Dems try to make it look like they’re the ‘in’ thing and that Republicans are out-of-step, backwards and dumb. And we’re helping their cause by crucifying our own every chance we get. What we – and everybody else in this country – are responding to is power. The Dems have the power. Even when we win elections, we act like we shouldn’t have. We’re happiest when we can sit in the scalding sun and yell from the bleachers. The Dems like us to be there as well, so they can blame us. The more they can blame us, the more the gulf widens.

The way it’s set up, it’s totally a win–win situation for them. Their successes (winning) work against us; and their failures work against us as well.

The call to “wake up” is primarily for Americans to understand that the deck is stacked and to quit hoping for that moment when wolves turn into lambs and pumpkins into Bentleys. We’re at war here in this nation and it’s high time we begin taking sides.

The first thing to understand when fighting a war is to understand who the enemy is – and it’s not what used to be called the ‘Democrats’. Democrats have already been co-opted. They’ve gone over to the other side. Some know it; most don’t. The enemy is those who consistently tell us who is NOT the enemy – Republicans included – even though we can plainly see who is. Newt with Pelosi; Romney with ObamaCare. What’s wrong with this picture?

The take-down of Israel and the take-down of America are being orchestrated by the same group (or a coalition comprising the same group). Both nations are shot through with infiltrators. It’s simple: If Israel falls, America falls. There’s still time to stop it. However, time is growing short – less than two years. The main point being, that the black hats have been given the green light. They are forging ahead. They believe they can win. As Corlyss says, they might well be overreaching, in which case they’ll fail. I’m really not sure at which point Americans will even notice that white is not black; that down isn’t up; that it’s time to abandon our political templates and look somewhere else for our salvation.

Guest Contributer: Tom From NJ: Anybody But Obama

Last night I was happy to hear Kudlow and Fund endorse my only candidate so far -- Mr./Ms. ABO. Who Candidate ABO actually is, I have no clear idea at this point, but I can suggest who does not qualify as ABO. Take Mitt Romney -- please. Due largely to RomneyCare, he's toast already, although neither he nor the Establishment GOP leadership seem to realize it yet. He should get out of the race now before he embarrasses himself; if he does so, he would make a dandy Secretary of Commerce under President ABO. Another prominent non-ABO is Newt Gingrich, who has so much baggage he needs to hire whole shifts of redcaps to help him carry it. Of course, Newt could then become a valuable advisor to President ABO; indeed, what power on earth could stop him?

Another non-ABO, sad to say, is Sarah Palin. I hate what the MSM, and even some elitist conservative snobs, have done to her, but there she is before us, all Tina Fey-ed out, already wounded and bleeding. Sarah is a smart young woman so she should bide her time and continue to do what she is successfully doing -- supporting conservative candidates for office with grassroots fundraising and effective stemwinder speeches. One of those candidates should be Candidate ABO, whereupon Sarah should get herself named Secretary of Energy. Then Sarah Barracuda could return healed and refreshed and go for the brass ring herself in due time, although her many enemies will continue to slander her as a nut-slut as long as she lives.

OK, so who will be Candidate ABO? It might turn out to be Donald Trump, who right now reminds me of General George S. Patton -- a great one in battle who is really taking it to the enemy (Obama), but who is perhaps too erratic and egotistical for his own good. To extend the analogy, Patton would surely have screwed up as overall SHAEF commander, a position that instead required the temperament, track-record, and skill-set of an Eisenhower. Similarly, being President might not in the end be a good fit for Trump's personal temperament, track-record, and skill-set. But right now who knows?

Another possible ABO is Paul Ryan, who, like Trump but in a different way, is already directly engaging POTUS in battle. Some of our blog colleagues have suggested that Ryan might be overly intellectual in his approach, but that might be because he is trying to actually give actual details on a very complex topic, i.e., the Federal budget and the deficit. That said, Ryan does get off some good lines -- not that the MSM will ever let anyone know -- so let's consider this GOP ticket for 2012: Trump-Ryan. Just sayin', but sounds very interesting right now. As for me in this April of 2011, I continue my steadfast support of Candidate ABO.

Mitch Daniels Misspeaks

‘Error code’ for what? I must have missed this. But I’m sure he must have said something to offend either the Right or the Left. If it’s the Right, redemption is still possible. If it’s the Left, he’s cooked. The very gates of hell will open up out of that shoe box (with the pot in it) of his.

It troubles me that Mitch Daniels felt compelled to walk anything back. It shows that his primary aim is to appeal to voters. Haven’t we had enough of that: politicians speaking out of both sides of their mouths, saying one thing to one audience and another thing to another; and walking it back both times. Who really knows what they intend?

I, for one, would have more respect for Obama if he were to come right out and say it; that his plan is to topple representative governance along with capitalism and impose shariah on the American people; and that, in addition, he wants to push Israel into the sea and murder every Jew on the face of the earth, instead of comparing himself to every past American president who happens to have - at one time or other - caught America’s imagination.

I would equally welcome any politician who would step forward (now) and declare his or her intention to stop Obama in his tracks. It’s not just about overturning Obamacare, reducing taxes, or soothing any other single-issue voters’ concern. It’s the whole ball of wax: energy, education, the economy, race relations, foreign policy, etc. - all of which feed into the mix of anti-Americanism in one way or another.

At least, this way we would know where we stand and we would not waste 99% of our time and energy debating each point separately to no conclusion.

Right now, I personally see no solution other than letting Obama have exactly what he wants - reduce our nation to the likes of Zimbabwe or North Korea - and watch if our population will not at some point rise up and hold the whole bunch of them responsible. Let them throw us in prisons; let them place an imam on every street corner, armed with a knife to slit our throats; let them take our children and keep them hostage in their madrassas; let them hold public hangings, floggings, stoning, and amputations; and make attendance mandatory. Let them demand our money and property and make them communal. Let them rape and defile our women. Let them do all these things and more and watch for the point at which the NYT and all the alphabet broadcasters decide to turn against them so that we can finally stand united against the onslaught that continues to rage against us. Change always comes from within.

Am hoping for the day when we will once again can see patriotic movies being made and hear patriotic songs sung. How much will it take to turn us around?

As long as we listen to guys the likes of Daniels and Gingrich with maple-flavored oatmeal dripping from their lips as they speak; I’d say, we still have a long way to go.

A Jumble of Nine

It has become easy to connect the dots in the Middle East. We already see the outlines of the end game. Michael Vlahos is right when he says that underlying it all “is a search for dignity”. I did not hear the show but, I assume, he did not go so far as define ‘dignity’ as seen from the Islamic perspective.

At the same time, we refuse to connect the dots here at home. Most conservative pundits and political hopefuls openly state that our nation cannot survive another six years with Obama at the helm. What they really mean to say is ‘two’ (years). Most do not yet connect the chaos in the Middle East with the chaos in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Yet, clearly, the demonstrators themselves have made the connection. Their talk and signage shows that they are keenly aware of what’s happening in the Middle East and are in solidarity with it.

Last week marks the first time a major, nationally known politician raised the ‘I’ word in an interview with Newsmax TV. He did it in a sort of circumspect way, suggesting if President Sarah Palin had done what Obama did (re: DOMA), there would be immediate calls for her impeachment. Then, immediately backing off, he went on to say that, in Obama’s case, calls for impeachment are not warranted.

So, which is it Newt? Is it the old sock-in-the-mouth double standard again? With talk like that Newt cuts his own throat. And DOMA is not the only issue on which Obama finds himself on thin ice - constitutionally speaking. And that’s not even the sum of it. Look at where we are today domestically as well as internationally. Are we really better off now than when Bush left office? Or is the calliope crashing as we watch? Do we have a Plan B, or C, or D…? Or has what we are seeing been Plan A all along?

Come on Newt! You can do better than that. Say it like it is and then stick to it come hell or high water. Show some spine!

Kudos for getting the word out there, anyway. Hopefully, it’ll get the ball rolling (even though we all know that it won’t be you to roll that ball).

Here’s a prediction: The first one who owns the ball and takes charge of it wins. If no one is willing to do this much, then we’re even worse off than I thought we were.

How many glossed-over low blows will it take before we lose all appreciation of four corners (as in a ring)? How long before the number ’8’ becomes just another meaningless cipher among a jumble of nine?

Shutdown

Not so fast! Gingrich may have a point. Government shutdown may well be the only answer at this point. It may end up being chaotic. It would send the press howling; the unions demonstrating; the rabble throwing bricks, but who can predict at this point that chaos can be avoided? It’s gone too far already. We have been speeding towards our financial and subsequent political abyss at breakneck speed for more than a year. We’re almost there now. Personally, I think we’ll reach there well before November. No Dem can hope to win without it. You can bet your socks Obama and the Dems are working on something right now. Whatever it is, it will be duly trumpeted and endorsed by the state-controlled media. It will be portrayed as a ‘crisis’ that only the smartest men (Obama, et al) on earth can solve. Elections postponed.

Outrage among the public will build to a fever pitch. Despite what The New York Times says, the people will not believe that the ‘crisis’ is anything other than manufactured for Obama’s benefit. They will have been pushed beyond the edge of reason as they see their only chance for retribution slipping away. This is when the real crisis starts: the revolution.

Now, it is still possible that the Dem’s timetable will not be met – not before November anyway; that Obama will somehow be denied a reason to postpone elections and (in effect) declare a national emergency. This is where Newt comes in. Republicans will have a majority in both houses of congress. They will have the power to shut down government. It will be their only power. It would effectively stop Obama who would presumably still be in office for the next two years.

I believe most Americans would support a government shut-down. They would understand that no governing can take place for as long as Obama remains in office. Most would understand that the runaway train simply has to be stopped, even if just inches away from the washed out bridge; that there will be a need afterwards for some time in which to reflect, gather thoughts and steady nerves; that they had been granted a reprieve – however brief – but a reprieve nonetheless.

Two consecutive years of gridlock governance will be a hell in itself. It’ll require a hunkering down and waiting out the storm. Perhaps, the troops will be withdrawn from overseas and charged with keeping the peace here at home. (On whose orders?) Perhaps the president will be impeached. More troops. Which side will the military take? Will there even be sides to take?

In November, God willing, the train will be stopped. Time will have been bought. What happens next is critical. It will do no good to compromise on this and that and let the train creep forward. The bridge is still out. As long as Obama and his gang are still in office, they can be counted on to sabotage any bridge repairs. Can we afford to lose another two years of governance? Actually, with this bunch in office, we can’t afford to win.

Stop Dicking Around

I don’t see one thing substantive in John’s criticism of Newt. All I see is emotion, culminating in put-down. Why do we insist on trashing our own? Do we have to agree with everything every one of them says - like the Dems agree with their stuffed shirts and empty skirts? No. But we also don’t have to trash them (the way Democrats trash us).

Non-Democrat Party hacks truly are an odd lot. We trash the likes of Limbaugh and Palin in public; then we turn on our radios and listen in secret. We disparage Palin. We say she’s “clearly unqualified”. Does that mean that Obama was qualified to lead our nation? Is Biden qualified? Pelosi? Reid? Why does the question of qualification never come up about Democrats? Is Al Franken qualified to be a U.S. senator? Is he even qualified to be a talk show host? Not by his ratings. So what’s the deal with Palin? Didn’t she run one of these 57 (sic) states, no less – and not into the ground, like some former governors (of CA, NY, VA and NJ)?

What are we really talking about? Electability? Would Michael Moore vote for a Palin? No. Would Sean Penn? Whoopi? Rachel? Clooney? No. No. No. No. Would The New York Times or the Huffington Post ever consider endorsing any Republican – no matter what he or she says? No.

So there you have it. Our candidates do not have to be acceptable to the libs. They have to be acceptable to us. I happen to believe that we still outnumber them despite the big noise they’re capable of generating. And I’m not the only one. Democrat lawmakers themselves are running for the hills. If they were confident, they’d stay and savor their advantage. Maybe all those so-called conservatives who are so quick to disparage our own should gracefully duck out and take a powder. Watch from the sidelines and keep their traps shut.

There’s more at stake here than party politics. Newt has it exactly right. America is in danger. It may already be too late. I happen to think not. But one thing is for damn sure; it soon will be too late if we don’t stop dicking around.
