Great post. Personally, I grew up thinking JFK and RFK were "taken care of" because they may have fully intended to sacrifice Thailand and Malaysia while not "making a deal with China"...and I am shocked that today's "establishment" hasn't taken care of any high-level chairman of major media corporations...who are obviously the forces behind nihilistic and treasonous propaganda. I am not advocating "violence" here...it just doesn't seem possible that a few media chairmen can walk around New York's Upper East Side and the Hamptons and not have "conversations" with guys like me who are placed in their country clubs and elsewhere...who work as their electricians and plumbers and surprise them constantly with "Sir...please explain to me what you are trying to do"...with the newly replaced electricians and plumbers being the same way.
I have to believe that the Bush Family is into giving the media such a long line of rope. And it is true that a single car bomb in New York City would undo the efforts of 4 years of leftist propaganda.
I think a first step is being taken, with the President and Rummy finally getting away from "safe" venues like military speeches or Pentagon briefings...and getting out in front of civilians. But they have to take it further, to the universities. I just finished reading "I am Charlotte Simmons" which is a story about a conservative 18 year old girl who goes to an Ivy League college. Tom Wolfe describes OK the left wing environment in these colleges but then shows that the "right wing environment" are mainly the rude and juvenile "frat boys" and "sororstitutes".
So the famous author depicts a gay rights protest that frat boys break up with obscenities. Not good! The conservative message on campuses would, today, be a bunch of students at a gay rights rally holding up signs saying "Support Polygamy Now!" and "Support Saddam" (a Support Saddam banner at a gay rights protest would be relevant and appropriate because it would highlight the way liberals "cause-link" in weird ways).
This meme, that there ARE conservatives on campus, has to be accepted so that authors like Tom Wolfe, when depicting a gay rights protest in a book, will NATURALLY think of how smart people would react and, thus, not write about mindless frat boys shouting 'faggot'.
["Support Polygamy Now!" and "Support Saddam"]
In the new book "I am Charlotte Simmons" which he researched by hanging around universities, Tom Wolfe shows how college students today are very attuned to sarcasm and have terms such as SARC1 and SARC3 to represent varying levels of subtelty in sarcasm.
This is why "ProtestWarrior.com" style counter-protesting is becoming a trend now on campuses. "Sarcastic Counter-Protesting", however, is not a meme the national media tends to talk about.
Here in Europe, the "Communists for Kerry" march on Fifth Avenue was reported on TV like it was serious and not sarcastic. Europeans saw the well-dressed conservatives marching...and it helped convince them that Kerry was the man to vote for.
Whose fault is that? Well...why is Bush not recalling the ambassador to Germany for failing to get Fox News broadcast here in Germany? What is really going on with Al Jazeera...which is located so tantalizing close to US military headquarters in Doha?
Am I supposed to be an idiot? Am I supposed to really believe that Al Jazeera is thumbing its nose at a superpower whose military HQ is half a mile down the road?
Or is there some kind of jujitsu operation going on where treasonous nihilism is promoted (secretly by the administration) worldwide so it seeps deep inside the minds of religious arabs...who will then no longer believe their religion? If you get Americans openly showing the world their unwillingness to fight...is that supposed to cause Sunni Arabs to feel the same way about fighting?
I'm not so sure about that. Oh sure, those of us who have seen it all along would be saying, "see, I told you so," but the leftists would find a way to blame the adminsistration, conservatives and Christians in much the same way as they have done pretty much every evil that has befallen us since their golden boy predator president left office.
You've got to remember that these are the same people whose souls are so empty that they cheer when an assault rifle is shoved in the face of a terrified 7 year old boy on Easter morning, who blame their own countrymen when their offices and those of their mouthpieces in the media are targeted with Antrax threats, who can make the preposterous statement that somehow or other our own president was behind the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon, and who can look at a natural disaster and the suffering in its wake and accuse the president and the federal government of deliberately weakening the levees to target the poorest and blackest parts of New Orleans.
If a single individual made statements such as these to a psychiatrist, he'd be locked up and medicated. Yet we have these lunatics in positions of leadership and then wonder why we have such degradation in our culture. These people are pathologically deranged. Their mental growth has clearly been stunted and they possess the emotional maturity of the average 5 year old. Their lack of manners and self-discipline is deplorable and brings to mind the old saying, "children should be seen and not heard."
If a child behaved the way these liberal politicains do, their parents wouldn't take them out in public, certainly not into polite company, but we give them the national stage with which to make an international mockery of our internal problems, as well as to give our enemies in general, and terrorists in particular, lots of clues as to our weaknesses, suggestions for defeating us and assurance that they're on their side. Do you really think a silly little thing like a car bomb on a city street will alter their delusional perceptions? Well, perhaps if it was THEIR street in front of their own home, but I wouldn't even bet on that.
So, let's get the CIA working on that car bomb.
As inept as that crew is these days, it will take about twelve attempts to build one that actually works correctly, the "procurement and development" will involve the death/wounding of numerous agents from the failed attempts, and wind up costing the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
When they do get it right, let the Wilson/Plame crew drive it to Wall Street.
Man, the CIA is really sharp. They didn't see the USSR collapse coming, saw WMD in Irag, think one of their receptionists is an "agent" (Plame), couldn't murder Castro when it was legal even with the help of the mob...
