How To Make A Monster

How do you make a monster? You twist their mind and heart with hate and anger. You politicize everything in terms that inflame damaged people with weak minds. You fill their heads with psychobabble that reinforces their ill-formed and ignorant notions about the nature of the world. You create an echo chamber of approving and nudging rhetoric that repeats each and every day. You convince and reassure them that their neurosis is morally right and good, and that those who oppose them must be stopped by any means necessary. Next you identify those that are to be the enemy as sub-human, and relate them to familiar boogeymen like Nazis and race supremacists. All that’s left to do is start ratcheting up the rage and hate with ever-increasing ferocity. Now you’ve created a tool for morally justified violence.

I’ve seen and read a lot of things since the election that occurred almost a year ago (yes it’s been that long) that meet the criteria I just outlined. I’ve seen a lot of people become completely unhinged by the insidious propaganda of the progressive left.  A literal army of ignorant zombies intent on violence, assured of their moral superiority, and without a compass to guide them. I bet you’ve seen and heard them too, as they are everywhere. They put things on Facebook and Twitter calling people bigots, racists, etc. They wear p*ssy hats and put on American flag hijabs. They mock Christianity while apologizing for Islam.  They kneel during the National Anthem. They hate people with abject racism, but  they cover it with language like “white privilege” and “intersectionality”, and justify it with concepts like “systematic racism”.

The most frustrating thing about these people is that they know nothing. They literally know nothing.  They lecture and sermonize about what our government should be doing, when they don’t even know what our government is. If you need a demonstration of this assertion, just ask them ( or yourself if you’re a social justice warrior/ person with stunted emotional and intellectual development ) :

What are the three branches of Government?

Can you name 2 of the rights guaranteed in the First Amendment?

Does the Constitution, and in turn the government, give you your rights?

Why do we have an electoral college?

How does making and passing a law happen, and who are your representatives in Congress?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might just be talking out of your backside when you talk politics. It certainly seems that the ability to rationally and critically think has disappeared……especially among the most recent products of the University System. If the hateful rhetoric and actions of the progressive left, and in turn the politicization of every aspect of our lives doesn’t stop, we are headed for trouble. Historically speaking it’s the kind of trouble that leaves millions of lives destroyed. When you have people calling for systems of government like Socialism and Communism – that together killed over 80 million people in the 20th century alone – while tearing down the concepts of Individual Liberty, Capitalism and Meritocracy – that have elevated more people than anything else in the history of the world – you have a serious problem indeed.

There are people, posers in positions of power within media and government, who have created an army of monsters because they lost an election, and now it has grown out of control. Was the Vegas shooter one of these monsters, like the Virginia shooter? I’ll make the prediction here, and I’d bet dollars to donuts on it…….I think he was. I think he was radicalized by the Media and the Left, and was so absorbed by his hate that he took action. And sadly, instead of stepping back and doing some self examination……..instead of contemplating the results of this shameless and shallow politicization of society in exchange for power and control…….they are stepping over bodies to get in front of the cameras. Because it’s not their fault……….it’s yours for rejecting them. Besides, they have more monsters to make.

Tuesday Thoughts

In the wake of the awful events that unfolded over the weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, I have seen and heard much pontificating, and read many statements and news briefs decrying not the actions of a madman, but the tools of his insane act.

I have seen and heard the inappropriate comments of those on the left in Media and Government calling for a knee-jerk response……that if implemented would not stop an attack like this in the future, as each and every act committed by Stephen Paddock was already against the law, illegal, and thus not preventable by legislative action.

With that said I have come to this conclusion:

Removing an instrument of evil……………… does not remove the evil itself.

Instead of cashing in on the emotional after effect of something like the Vegas Massacre and using it for cheap political gain, as in the case of Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Kimmel……. is there anyone who can articulate a contrary response or thought to my aforementioned statement?

Is there anyone out there who can logically and seriously contradict my conclusion? I really want to know, and I am open to any and all serious arguments and points. What are your thoughts?

I truly feel for the victims and families of those lost in the horror that occurred last weekend……….let’s honor them with serious and thoughtful discussion instead of theatrics and insults.

 

 

 

Posers

It seems that the NFL has a common problem. It’s full of people whom have sacrificed nothing, pissing on those that have sacrificed all.

It’s an interesting argument that the thugs and their super-rich, geriatric, white, “owners”  ( umm, irony? ) are presenting in defense of “taking a knee”. Freedom of Speech. How novel. The very people engaged in Orwellian Groupthink in a united affront to real Free Speech are now defending it…..as it applies to privileged felons – on the clock for an employer –  who are making millions playing a game. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…..there is no such thing as free speech at work – it’s why you’re afraid to tell your coworkers and your boss what you think of their stupid Social Justice and Diversity obsession.

It’s not just the NFL, either. They seem to have the same problem that Hollywood, politicians, corporate media, Silicon Valley, and the world of education have – they’re posers. Literally and figuratively……. big, fake, insincere posers. What is rapidly developing as a result of their posing is horrible, and it leads nowhere good. See, the audience for these posers are morons, and they don’t know that the folks they listen to and idolize don’t really believe in, nor care about – really – any of the things they do or say.

The owners of NFL teams don’t care about “solidarity” with their players and whatever they’re supposedly upset about……they care about being called a racist, white supremacist who loves Trump by those players, their League Union, and their fans. In turn, the players themselves are full of shite, and have no experience with the alleged racism that led to them being able to make millions, beat their girlfriends, murder people outside nightclubs, collect Bentleys……you know, all that stuff that Whitey made them do.  In a sport where over 70 percent of the players are black and worth millions I find this fake “protest” more than stupid. Besides, getting lectured by racist, illiterate boobs about “rights” is incredibly insulting.

In the same vein, politicians calling Trump a monster and a racist and a Nazi and (insert Progressive boogeyman dog whistle here), don’t mean it or believe it. In fact, I would put it forth to you that they care about nothing at all…….except the accumulation and maintenance of power and wealth, that is. Politicians outrage at Trump is about as real as Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s tears.  Again, the problem is that the historically uninformed electorate they speak to are taking them seriously…….and then they proceed to beat folks in the street for wearing a Make America Great Again hat or for the sin of disagreeing with them.  Who cares if you burn down the greatest experiment in personal freedom and liberty……..when there’s money and power to steal from the rubes you rile up?

None of this would be complete without Hollywood weighing in. Rob Reiner, Morgan Freeman, and the rest of the predictable crowd are now actually lobbying government to “investigate Russia”. Freeman goes so far to say……oh, I mean read someone else’s words ( because that’s what these overpaid liars do ) that say…..” We have been attacked…….we are at war” with Russia. Do Reiner and Freeman know what war is? No, they don’t. Because they’re posing. They’re fake. They lost an election, and like children who don’t get their way, they are pounding their wee little fists in a massive tantrum……all while posing for each other and touting words like “fascism” and “racism”- when they are unable to define them. Comedians and TV shows are now humorless, preaching bores…….nobody can take a joke or speak plain facts in the face of hysteria.

It’s all coming to a head. For the past decade, honor-less, opportunist politicians from the White House on down have shamelessly race-baited and divided the American Public……..literally politicizing everything. We are experiencing the tyranny of a dangerous groupthink. We are witnessing the exchanging of diversity of opinion and thought for the evil theory of Identity Politics, and that only serves up more division.  Well, in case you didn’t know, after divide…..comes conquer. I actually think we’re headed for civil conflict if this doesn’t stop……….but at this point I would just be happy if ball-players actually played ball. That, as well as everything else aforementioned, is pretty hard to do when you’re busy posing and virtue-signaling “with passionate intensity”. These people ruin everything.

 

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

– W.B. Yeats, The Second Coming

 

The Circle and the Straight Line

As the Western World continues to lose its collective mind with Progressivism, a question keeps pinging around my brain: Why are so many people falling for things that are nuts? The reasons are many, but in my opinion, it all goes back to education. When I say “education”, I mean in the classical sense……not the “humanities”, or “gender/ethnic studies”, but a classical education that focuses on examining the past in a dry, objective manner. Why? Because people, especially the young, seem to be operating under a dangerous delusion: That technology, advancement, and human nature/behavior all follow the same pattern…….and they don’t.

Time and history…..including the advancement of human technological skill…..follow a linear, straight line. Events, time, and the people involved move forward on that line as history progresses. I’ll give you an example: since the IPhone was invented and introduced to the public, each year or so a newer, better, “smarter” device is designed and released. Same thing with other technologies…….advancement moves in a straight line, and an expectation of this linear progress becomes ingrained.  Still with me?

You could almost forgive someone who is the product of a postmodern education for applying this thought process onto human nature, and in turn behavior, if it wasn’t so wrong. See, human nature is a circle, not a line. While time, technology, and events move forward on that inevitable line, human nature revolves around like a wagon wheel. The wheel spins from barbarism to enlightenment, from enlightenment to apathy, from apathy to slavery, and then back to barbarism……then it spins again…..and again…..and on into perpetuity.  Only people who are completely unaware of this fact, and of history, insist on their philosophy of “social justice”. The human beings who inhabited ancient Greece, Rome, Minoa, Egypt, and even older places like Gobekli Tepe were just as, if not more, clever and thoughtful than modern people. Reading the philosophies of Socrates and Marcus Aurelius, or perusing the historical accounts of Josephus or Thucydides, would quickly dissolve the illusion that human beings and their “new ideas” are new at all.

So why do so many people think they hold a moral high ground by virtue signaling and proposing toxic ideas like the “patriarchy” and “privilege”? Why do Progressives not understand they are just spinning the wheel of human nature back to tribal barbarism?  Because ignorance is bliss. Its much easier and kinder on the ego to assume that you, as a modern Western human, are the apex of progress. You know what those that came before did not. You and your fellow Progressive travelers can ignore the wisdom of your ancestors because they didn’t have an IPhone and a Fakebook account. In fact, those that came before were Neanderthal morons who judged people by their skin color or ethnicity, and none of them tackled things like racism, inequality and global commerce. Because human thought and civilization is a straight line moving ever forward……just like my laptops processing power…….right?

This is why there are many people out there who want to erase and control the past……..because if you are ignorant of it, you can be shaped into whatever those people want. If you have no knowledge of your ancestral and philosophical inheritance, then you will never know anything, really. The only way to slow the spinning wheel of human nature is to be cognizant of its existence. Wallowing in the false security of the straight line of progress will rapidly lead to an escalation of our collective madness. It has happened before, and it will happen again………and knowing that is an absolute imperative.

Triggered Tuesday

 

From Angry Reader Miriam Responding to “The Neverending Eclipse”:

“You speak from a position of privilege. It’s easy to speak your “truth” when neither you nor your family have been subjected to racism. If we lived in a perfect world, we wouldn’t have needed Affirmative Action because we would have corrected the wrongs of slavery and racism as soon as we realized that all human beings, no matter what their color, creed, or gender, have the right to everything life has to offer. As a society, we blocked people of color from job advancement, good education, access to healthcare, housing and so much more. We never provided compensation for the evil we put their ancestors through—it was nothing short of centuries of genocide. Just say it, you’re nothing but a racist hiding behind your lies. And it’s laughable, truly, that you talk as though you are a victim. Give me an effin break!” – Miriam

Response From Empire Of Truth:

  Many phrases in your ad hominem attack are telling, ie: “your ‘truth’”…….”privilege”, etc. You are obviously speaking from a place of irrational emotionalism, demonstrating my point. Are you aware of your repeated use of the past tense to posit your own argument? Nowhere in my column do I imply that wrongs were not once committed against people of color, nor do I even mention slavery. You also use “we” to describe the committing of past sins, which I find confusing. I have not, nor has anyone I know, perpetrated any of the actions you described…..so what is it you are attempting to infer? That the sins of past generations, that you feel have not been redeemed, must be visited upon a current generation? Is it all whites that must pay? Is it all blacks that should receive “compensation”? Perhaps we should perform DNA testing on each citizen……and then have the benevolent government assign us an armband and ID card stating our racial makeup. Then access to benefits and public spaces, “compensation”, and legal punishments could be meted out according to racial purity and ethnic bona fides…..sound good? How far back do we go in your social justice experiment, and how far into the future? For black men aged 18-34 the leading cause of death is murder by another person of color…..will your “compensation”, or iconoclasm remedy this tragedy? You also fail to address or refute any of the arguments I make, and you again deftly illustrate my point by resorting to the sad retort of all those whose intellectual capacities are stunted: “racist”! The only thing I am a victim of is the comments and inanity of people like you : irrational, childish, shallow, virtue signaling, unable to use critical thinking, incapable of following your own conclusions to their inevitable outcome, and of course…..bigoted. (Yawn)……(Sigh)…….and oh, thanks for reading! – WW

 

 

The Neverending Eclipse

Each and every day I am struck by the absolute hypocrisy and ignorance of those on the Progressive Left. I watch and listen to people say things that are verifiably insane, yet they are met with serious looks and sympathetic reporting. We, as people of the United States – and by extension people of Western Civilization – are being told that what we see and hear and instinctively know….. is wrong…….and that reason and thought are poor substitutions for adolescent ignorance and childish emotionalism.  Moral authority has been either claimed by Progressives or had it assigned to them by their willing allies in Media, politics, and entertainment. Identity Politics, Class Victimhood, and the ideology of “Intersectionality” is just like the moon when it obscures the sun…….a cold, dark, thoughtless mass that blocks out the rays of enlightened reason.

My last column was a statement against defining people by their color and class, and also a warning about violence being committed in the name of advancing a political agenda.  The funny part, if there is one, is that some of the very folks I was speaking to did not understand the message………and they never will, because willful ignorance is a very strong narcotic, and those in its thrall are never told of its dangers, or of how difficult it is to kick the habit. Since the events that took place in Charlottesville I have discovered, in the course of doing my normal research, that those involved were pawns in a chess game they didn’t realize was being played. For example, I want to know why a man named Brennan Gilmore was the first on the scene – with a recording of the now infamous car-ramming and multiple media interviews afterwards – when he coincidently happens to be a CIA agent. Or how Jason Kessler, the organizer of the “Unite the Right” rally was also an organizer of “Occupy Wall Street” and was a community organizer for Obama – until last November, that is. Weird.  Don’t get me wrong, racists and fascists are still scumbags…..but it is important to note that everyone there – whether they were Black Lives Matter, White supremacists, or Antifa – were all advocating the exact same philosophy. If you are “triggered” by that, I don’t care……..I will “microaggress” all over your delicate sensibilities and love every minute of it.

I’ve written previously about the lack of historical perspective and it’s consequences – you know, that those who don’t know history are bound to repeat it – and yet our society is ramping up its stupidity. Like the warriors of ISIS, the Progressive Left is on an ideological rampage on behalf of it’s religion of Political Correctness……and statues and monuments, even the actual history of events, must be destroyed and wiped away in order to protect us from their “problematic” representations. Let me be as clear as I can possibly be…….. Progressivism is racist, sexist, anti-intellectual, and regressive. To believe in this toxic view of the world you must be everything you claim not to be. Need proof?

Diversity is a main tenet of being a Progressive, it is also touted by companies and government in statements like ” by ensuring a diverse workforce we benefit from everyone’s experiences and viewpoints, blah, blah, blah”. That offends me…..because it is bullshite.  Diversity is State-sanctioned, structural, and societal-approved racism. The idea of “privilege” is an ignorant, racist thought process. Intersectionality is also sexist and racist…….as it is the theory that every victim-group – LGBTQQ2+, “people of color”, women, etc……all “intersect” with one thing: namely that each tribe is the victim of a white man, or of “whiteness”.  Huh? Let me get this straight……..basing hiring, college admissions, and societal importance on skin color – regardless of performance – isn’t racist? Let me pose this question to you: If you found out you had cancer…..God forbid…..what qualifications would you look for in a Doctor? Skill? Accomplishments? Success stories? If you answered yes to any of those then you are, according to Progressive-Regressives,  a Nazi/Fascist. If you run a business, large or small, and you hire people based on how good they are at the job you are attempting to staff, without regard to gender and race, you are a Nazi/Fascist. In fact, if you advocate a merit-based philosophy when engaging a service or rating an individual’s performance……you are a Nazi/Fascist. If you want Government and the Private Sector to judge everyone equally under the law, regardless of color, belief, sex, religion, or material worth……….you guessed it…….you’re a Nazi/Fascist. Is it just me, or is a pattern forming?

The goal of all of this theatre and drama is to eliminate Free Speech. The United States is the only country that has ever existed on the face of the Earth that has recognized Free Speech as something granted by birth and not by Government. When Free Speech falls, everything else becomes irrelevant. Liberals used to be lauded for advocating the following ideal: ” I don’t agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” What happened to that? If you are an activist for anything other than color-blind, equal-under-the-law, meritocracy…….you are by default everything you claim to despise. I’ll say it again……if you believe in special treatment or special punishment based on appearance and genetics…..YOU are the bigot. If you think that violence is justified in response to someone’s words or philosophy, no matter how awful you think that philosophy is………you are the fascist. It remains to be seen if the eclipse of rationality occurring now is permanent or reversible…….but based on what I can gather, we may be forever immersed in darkness.

Death By Demography

Western Civilization, in Europe and America, isn’t just committing cultural suicide……..but it is also self-extinguishing the people who built the modern world. Americans and Europeans share more than just a common past and cultural identity, they share a dying birthrate amongst their citizens. Politicians in The West have seen this problem coming, and their grand solution is, and has been, immigration. In America it’s illegal immigrants swarming across the border, as well as centrally planned importation of muslim “refugees” from Somalia and North Africa. In Europe, the E.U. has systematically ferried in millions and millions of North African and Middle Eastern muslims to replace and refill the barren households of their nations. This may have guaranteed short-term sustainability for government coffers, but offers nothing but long-term disaster for everyone else.

Speaking of Europe, there are many examples of the demographic problem. In the U.K., the most popular name for babies – all babies – is Mohammed. The government tries to massage the numbers by counting variations of the name, but when the different spellings are combined some incarnation of “Mohammed” is the winner. Since that statistic may offend some Brits, they are constantly assured by their Lords and Ladies that muslims are only about 20 percent of the country’s population ( up from 10 percent just 10 years ago ). Here’s the problem with that math: U.K.’s birthrate for non-muslims is at about 1.3 children per household, and falling. The birthrate for muslims in the United Kingdom is at 3.6 per household, and rising. That means that native Brits will be the minority in under 30 years.  In Sweden, according to the Vienna Institute of Demography, in just 20 years – and this is if muslim immigration stopped immediately – the majority of the population will be Sharia-compliant muslim.  This boom has other problems as well…….for example, 52 percent of British muslims are married to their 1st cousins……and in places like Bradford, U.K. that percentage goes up to 75 percent……and many of those are the products of marriage to 1st cousins as well…….so the incidents of genetic health problems have skyrocketed. Yes, inbreeding is a big problem in islam, but we’re not allowed to say that because their culture is as good as, or better than, ours……….right?

In Germany the birth rate for its citizens of Germanic origin is even less than the U.K., and the importation of migrants is even greater. Germany’s vast industrial base is now staffed in large part by its new muslim inhabitants…..at least until they learn that they can make more, and do less, on the public dime. France is having obvious problems with its human imports, but finding the numbers is difficult due to the French government’s lack of reporting or examination on the statistics – but a quick look at the number of islamic attacks over the past 5 years should inform everyone. Italy is being devastated by the number of African muslims making the short trip from Tunisia to its Mediterranean coasts…….crime has increased dramatically while tourism has, just as dramatically, decreased……and let’s face it, tourism is their bread and butter. I expect the demographics there, when assessed, will be just as dire as those in their northern European neighbors.

The United States has a birthrate amongst its citizens that mirrors Europe at 1.3 children per household. Hispanics that have immigrated to the U.S., by far mostly illegal, have a collective birthrate of 3.5 children per household. In California – where they have relinquished their border and relished their “sanctuary” status – 1 in 4 residents are non-citizens, and let’s be honest, the numbers are probably higher than that…….I’ve been hearing “20 million” illegals for 20 years. In Arizona the vast majority of grade school students are Hispanic and not proficient in English. In the United States as a whole, according to the Pew Research Center, 1 in 5 students in school levels kindergarten through high school are Hispanic. 10 years ago it was 1 in 8, and assuming the rate will continue, it will be 3 out of 5 in just ten more years.

Now, you may read all of this and say to yourself, ” So what? Everyone will adopt the practices and culture of their nation of residence and we’ll all be Americans”…..or Swedes, or Brits, or whatever the case may be. In short, if you think that way, you’re an idiot. In the past, in America and Europe, political correctness and modern tribalism did not exist – so the machinations of assimilation worked. A desire to adopt the culture of your host nation was culturally and legally enforced. For example, the children of Italian immigrants in the 1920’s learned and spoke English, not Italian…….because of…..well, shame. A sort-of cultural “bullying” took place, and the effect was assimilation. Another big factor in assimilation was that there was no Welfare, and if there was it was not available to non-citizens. Also, minor health conditions like a hernia ( turn your head and cough ) prohibited the affected immigrant’s entry. So for those allowed in, financially and culturally, it was in their best interest to “Americanize”, and all were beneficiaries of the result. The same machinery, in one form or another, has been responsible for successful assimilation of non-westerners into western culture throughout history……..until now.

The people in America and Europe have been taught by their Progressive Masters (those who control Academia and Government) to hate the very culture they come from. They have been taught that they are not individuals, but members, and therefore victims of, a group identity. They have been taught that Capitalism and the Judeo-Christian ethic that built the modern world, and gave us individual freedom, is evil and doesn’t work – yet they are not told of the 100 million plus deaths brought about by Secular Communism and Socialism in the 20th century alone. They have been taught that Western values and culture are at best equal to, and at worst inferior to, cultures from other parts of the world, as if the advancement of Western Civilization was an accident or product of malevolence. The truth is the complete reverse……and by the time they realize it, it will be too late. Will the Spanish-speaking descendants of illegal immigrants, who value a socialist mentality and think themselves victims of American culture, pay taxes and care for an aging American public? Will the descendants of muslim immigrants in Europe, whom value Sharia law and the teachings of Mohammed – and see themselves as victims of decadent secularism, pay taxes and care for the aging European public? No, they won’t. Now, in Europe and America, the immigrant re-creates the very failed culture they fled from, and we are – as a whole – ashamed of our successful culture, and so we do not insist on assimilation or even defend our own values. The kindergarten class of today is, in a mere 15 years, the adult future of tomorrow. Do you honestly think you will recognize what is coming?  It seems that what could not be accomplished by war……..will be accomplished by fertility.

The Party of Illusion

Have you heard the news? Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate voted for, and passed, complete and total repeal of Obamacare. Awesome, right? Not really. I don’t mean passing measures to limit it, or defund it, or alter it, or call it dirty names, that stuff has happened over forty times………..no, I mean complete repeal. The only problem with this news is that this happened way back in December of 2015.

Cue the clowns:  Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the rest of the Grand Ole Puppet Show then waddled in front of the cameras to proudly announce that they had “kept their promise” and repealed O-care. Too bad that it would never survive Obama’s veto pen……….and too bad that the Republicans, all of them, knew that before they even voted. They also knew that most people are dumb and have the memory of goldfish, so for them, it was a big win……for the rest of us, not so much.

You may have heard that the Republicans just “weren’t prepared” for repealing Obamacare, or that the “White House is in disarray” and they can’t stop their overthrow of an elected president…..oops! I mean Russia investigations……long enough to do what they evidently had no problem doing, repeatedly, while Obama was in office. I’ll tell you what they weren’t prepared for: Trump winning, that’s what.  In the whirlwind of fake news and political assassination since last November, what has been buried and lost is that the entire world expected Hillary Clinton to be president…….I mean, she corrupted her way to the top, she paid her bribes…….oops again! I mean dues……hostile foreign entities had already bought her off through the Clinton Foundation, etc……so why would Congressional Republicans be any different?

The reason the Republicans can’t repeal Obamacare is simple……they don’t want to. Sure, all of the puppets in the show are playing their parts, the “conservatives” want this, the “moderates” want that, blah-blah-blah, but the truth is that they didn’t stop it when they could have, like the Progressives are stopping things now, because Obamacare is the greatest expansion of government power in United States history, and the people we have in Congress are the government, so why would you expect them to limit themselves?  It’s time for people to realize once and for all that the days of there being “conservatives” and “liberals” are over – if they ever even existed – and that now there is only the Progressive Establishment. There are different levels of that Establishment, yes…….but on a whole it is unified in its permanent bureaucratic control over us…….and it’s falling apart because of the election of Donald Trump. What you are seeing in the Media and reading in National Review and the New York Times is testament.

All of this leads me to make one point. If you consider yourself, conservative or Republican, you may be upset that your views aren’t being represented….and you’re right. I have good and bad news for you, bad news first: What you define as “conservative” is no longer applicable to the future of American politics. The numbers just aren’t there, especially when you realize that Millennials are now the largest single voting bloc. Now for the good news: there are millions out there like me, and we represent a revival and reinvigoration of the American Spirit and all that it represents – individual liberty, legal immigration, property rights, capitalism, personal responsibility, and a chauvinism about what is American Culture and Western Civilization…….and why it is better than anything else that has ever come before. We agree on more than we don’t, I’d wager.   People like John McCain, who has served himself in congress for 35 years (!!) and Lindsey Graham, who has done the same for 25 years, are not the future……they are the pitiable past. They are “The Swamp”, and they don’t understand that a train is coming, and the choice is between getting on board, getting out of the way……..or getting run down under its wheels.

The Progressive Plantation

The Progressive left is melting down faster than the Wicked Witch at the bottom of Niagara Falls. They represent the New Confederacy, and as such they are making all of the same moves that the doomed Old South made……..all that’s left is an armed insurrection, and the odds of that are thankfully low given the rate of gun ownership amongst Progs….except for James Hodgkinson, I guess.  How fitting, and indeed ironic, it is that the anti-capitalist left in the United States is now echoing the behavior of the southern slave states in the build-up to the American Civil War. Claiming a shaky moral high ground, while advocating organized resistance to the law of the federal government, cost the then Dis-United States over 600,000 lives and several Constitutional freedoms in order to hold the Union together. Are we in for a repeat? The employees of CNN and MSNBC seem to think that if their bloodless coup turns bloody, they will be spared any injury – and that the ignorant masses will rally to their precious defense…….are they right?

First things first, let me explain my Confederate analogy with a few facts. Last month, the Governor of the failed state of California, Moonbeam Jerry Brown, flew to Communist China to meet with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president. During his trip he made a fool of himself, and California, by making an illegal and idiotic confederate deal to honor the ridiculous Paris Climate Accord……..of which China was all too eager to honor. Nevermind that California is not a country….or that it is mired in huge debt and stagnation, or that 4 out of 10 ( of those that responded to the poll! ) residents of the Golden State are illegal aliens………Jerry Brown still thought it wise and prudential to attempt to circumvent the law and treaties of The United States in order to virtue-signal to his Elite pals and ignorant voters. See, California is dead….it’s just that the idiots running it haven’t figured it out yet. According to the January report from the California Policy Center, not a libertarian or conservative group, California has an annual debt of 1.3 Trillion dollars. Add to that figure this pathetic math: 52 percent of California’s gross domestic product, or GDP, is debt. Like the Old South’s economy, California is knee-deep in class-slavery……subbing out the bottom of their economy to a permanent underclass.

And California isn’t the only problem. Sanctuary cities are spread out all over the Union. From Texas to Georgia, Michigan to Maine, cities and townships are proudly proclaiming their confederacy by affirming their “sanctuary” status. Short term gains in cheap labor, part-time employment, and rental rates are being exchanged for long term deleterious deficits in overall revenue and debt – through an overwhelming of public services and welfare benefits by their new imported slave class.  Since natives of the Republic are either aborting their babies or not having them in the first place, the parasites of government are busy wringing their hands over new ways to maintain or increase their positions of power…..much like the defunct and orgy-enjoying Catholic Church ( just google that if you need details – just don’t do an image search ), American government is desperate to put “butts in the pews” and “money in the plate” when it comes to funding their projects….you know, like providing gender reassignment surgery to 10 year olds and saving little amphibians and minnows like the Delta Smelt – at the expense of human beings, of course.

Amidst this…..forgive me……orgy of ignorance, cable and legacy network news agencies have turned in their journalist cards for biased, partisan, near-maniacal opinion-page politics. Morons like Chris Cuomo of CNN are pathetic and intellectually dishonest. If you disagree, let me educate you. Chris is the brother of the current Democrat Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo…….and the son of Mario Cuomo, another Democrat Governor of New York and former featured speaker at the Democratic Convention. Through marriage they are also related to the late Robert Kennedy……..does that sound like “journalism” to you? What about George Stephanopolous, ABC news chief political correspondent? In case you’re a Millennial, or just dumb, he was former Democrat President Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff……..he also gave an undisclosed $75,000 to the criminal Clinton Foundation while in his “news” position…….huh….that’s weird……this crap is starting to add up, isn’t it? While we’re at it, I would be remiss to not mention the recently much talked about Joe Scarborough and his face-bleeding counterpart Mika Brzezinski……..she’s the daughter of Jimmy Carter’s evil National Security Advisor, say this one 5 times fast, Zbigniew Brzezinski. When it comes to Joe Scarborough, he’s a former RINO Republican Congressman from Florida…….but oops!……he ended his congressional career by resigning just 4 months into his term ( to spend more time with his family…..right ) after Lori Klausutis, a 28 year old intern he was rumoured to have had an affair with, was found dead in his office from “undisclosed causes”.

The bottom line is this……..you are being lied to by many people, from many different directions. With a little bit of effort, it’s easy to find out enough about the people whom proclaim their journalistic bona-fides, and political earnestness, to never listen to a word they say. Trump has his flaws…….he doesn’t do public speaking very well, he counter-punches when it would be better to take the high road, and he poorly communicates his initiatives to the public. But remember this…….he is a true outsider and he’s working for free. Is Chris Cuomo?  Is Joe Scarborough? Do you believe the Media’s new line that they are a protected victim class that is impervious to criticism or pushback? The truth is we are witnessing the New Confederacy……..and whether they know it or not they are on the same path as those Confederate States of 1860……..sheltering and protecting their slave economy in order to keep their Grand Plantations producing and maintaining their luxurious lifestyles and pampered, ignorant lives. Glory, glory, hallelujah.

 “The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

Meet The Resistance

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column titled “There Will Be Blood”, and it looks like I was unfortunately right………..again. Today Rep. Steve Scalise, the Republican Majority Whip, was gunned down by a peace-loving Bernie Sanders fan. This is just a taste of the “Resistance” that Progressives and their Establishment buddies have been brewing and stirring since last November, when the world as they know it was turned upside-down by the election of Donald Trump. Are you sick of it yet?

Months of circus-men like Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, and Bill Maher shilling their click-bait soundbites of Trump incest fantasies and faux outrage have had the desired effect. Months of intellectually dishonest and phony drama-peddling by the likes of Chuck Schumer, Maxine “James Brown Wig” Waters, “Crazy” Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Cory Booker, Keith “aka Shaun King” Ellison, and the first full Native-American member of Congress – Elizabeth Warren…have taken their toll on the duped electorate they cater to.

ISIS-like beheadings of Trump by Kathy Griffin, CNN’s Resa “Taqiya” Aslan tweets, and Fortune 500-funded plays in Central Park showing an assassinated Trump, nightly Rachel Maddow insanity……………along with Hollywood celebrities calling for “punching them in the face” and more, have all led to what happened today…….. in my opinion.  Convincing millions of mentally-challenged, politically-misinformed boobs that the reason for their candidate losing, and in turn their logic-less Progressive agenda losing, was somehow collusion and interference between Trump and the shadowy Russians – has “come home to roost” today.

The reaction of Progressives in Government has been perfunctory and weak so far……and I don’t expect that to change. Reaction of Progressives on social media has been pretty disgusting….there’s a lot of rainbow-flag profiles tweeting and texting their glee, and after all the stoking and baiting over the last six months, who is surprised? The Clinton-hack Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, didn’t even make it 5 minutes into his response before blaming “guns” ( for killing 93 million Americans a day, Ha! ) and not the rhetoric and divisiveness of his own cadre of cronies.

So far the hard-working, patriotic people who voted for change last November have remained mostly positive and peaceful………while they have been assaulted in virtually every venue – news/entertainment/music/social media – by Progressive, Social Justice bullies…… that seek to censor your speech, nullify your vote, and now……..use violence to achieve their ends.  The left has become an army of cry-bullies, and it is probably too late for the instigators, like Hillary Clinton and Barry Obama, to walk-back the incitement they have committed………my only hopes are two-fold – Firstly, that the peace and temperament of the Silent Majority continues, and secondly, that Progressives are swayed from continuing their tantrums……..because we are at a precarious point in our history, and it would take far more to prevent another Civil War than to soon make it a reality. And that’s one observation I sincerely hope is incorrect.
